Chapter 299 Kill me with the force of attacking a city?
Fan Xian shook his head and did not agree with Uncle Wu Zhu's idea.

If only everything in this world were that simple.

"Uncle, with your great powers, do you not need to eat or drink at all? Is it just to replenish your energy?"

“You can eat it, but you can also not eat it.”

"Is that so? Then do you know the location of the Black Cavalry?" Fan Xian was a little curious.

"Ten Miles Away"

There is no need to say much about the fighting effectiveness of the Black Knights.

In the Kingdom of Qing, no matter what kind of troops they were, they were not capable of silently slaughtering thousands of Black Knights without letting anyone escape. The other side still chose to send people to assassinate them when they were so close to him. Were they really not worried about being known by outsiders?

"The success rate of assassinating me is not high. The other party shouldn't be so unwise." Fan Xian frowned and guessed, "Think about it another way. Maybe the other party didn't want to kill me at all, but just wanted to slow down my return to Beijing?"

Experts are not easy to come by, as most of them are concentrated in the hands of the highest echelons of power. Without knowing the existence of Wu Zhu, it would be impossible for him to gather more than a dozen people at once to face this ninth-rank expert and the remaining swordsmen of the Supervisory Council under his command.

But now he has arrived in the north of Yingzhou, and the city wall is in sight. As long as he passes this city, the person behind the scenes will have no chance.

Things were a little unexpected.

It seemed as if the previous attack was just a wrong decision made by the person behind the scenes.

After realizing that it was impossible to succeed, the other party seemed to give up. The carriage that Fan Xian was riding in successfully passed through Yingzhou City on the second day and drove quickly towards Kyoto.

Five days later, the carriage had entered Kyoto, but the expected attack did not come.

The carriage slowly stopped. Fan Xian walked out of the carriage, jumped to the top of a slope and looked back. He saw a black rider wearing black armor and a mask standing on the side of the still flat low hill.

The leader nodded to Fan Xian, then made various gestures with his hands. The black cavalry moved like a black arrow piercing into the green forest, breaking the tranquility here and heading towards the garrison dozens of miles away.

This is the rule established since Emperor Qing ascended the throne: the Black Cavalry are not allowed to enter the jurisdiction of Kyoto without reason.

The Black Cavalry is unparalleled in combat power and was initially allocated to Chen Pingping in order to secure the status of the Inspectorate. However, times have changed and now Emperor Qing's defensive intentions are very obvious. Not only is he training the Red-Armored Knights for balance, he is also strictly prohibiting the Black Cavalry from entering the capital, and violators will be killed without mercy.

But there is an advantage to doing this.

That is, at least within the boundaries of Kyoto, there are very few people who are blind enough to carry out assassinations or rebellions.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Fan Xian felt a little excited.

Kyoto, I'm back!

As they got closer, the official roads became wider and the number of passers-by gradually increased. Not only did Fan Xian relax a little, but even the people in the Supervisory Office breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the increasingly clear outline of the city wall in the distance, I suddenly heard the sound of a crossbow arrow breaking through the air - it was a whistling sound that seemed to be mixed with wind and thunder!

Gundam roared angrily, drew his sword and stood in front of Fan Xian, slashing at Ju Nu's head!
At the same time, many figures appeared on both sides of the official road, holding crossbows and shooting wildly at the convoy!

Although the huge crossbow arrow was forced away by Gundam, his hand lost strength in an instant. He was at the peak of the eighth rank, and he could easily dodge it at this distance, but behind him was the carriage that Fan Xian was riding in, so he did not retreat, but chose to take it head-on.

At this moment, the crossbows shot from both sides made him flustered. Even though he was agile, he was hit in the leg by an arrow. Fan Xian's face was gloomy. He pulled the Gundam into the carriage and slapped the mechanism on the carriage, sealing the entire carriage.

All this was done in just one breath.

Then, countless shouts and the terrifying sound of arrows breaking through the air were heard outside the carriage!
Not only this person who suddenly appeared, but also some of the ordinary people on both sides of the road who should have been affected, drew their short knives and rushed towards the convoy where Fan Xian was.
dong dong dong dong!

This is the sound of arrows hitting the outer wall of the carriage.

These crossbow arrows are easy to deal with, as long as they are not the giant arrows shot from the divine arm crossbow. What you worry about will come true, and the second giant crossbow for breaking the city is already whistling and lightning!

The black carriage was like a stubborn toy; the huge impact caused it to fall to one side.

Fan Xian used his true energy to press down on the raised part, allowing the carriage to briefly regain balance. However, the giant crossbow had already penetrated through and disappeared.

The carriage was specially made and fortunately it did not fall apart.

But Fan Xian also knew that they couldn't stay in here for long, so the two of them lay down under the carriage, trying to keep their bodies as low as possible.

"Damn it, where did Wang Qinian go? How did he scout the surrounding area?"

"Perhaps, Lord Wang has been entangled by the enemy." Gaoda pulled out the arrow from his leg and bandaged it with a simple cloth strip. He did not even frown during the whole process. "Otherwise, he would not have come back at this time."

While the two were talking, countless crossbow arrows shot at the carriage.

Listening to the dense and numerous sounds, it seemed as if they would never stop. Fan Xian was secretly glad that he asked the Third Department to reinforce the carriage more than once. Otherwise, even if he was a ninth-rank master, facing the heavy rain of crossbow arrows and the giant crossbow that could destroy the city, he would probably end up dead!

Listening to the increasingly sparse roars of colleagues outside, he estimated the number of enemies.

Soon, Fan Xian came to a horrifying guess - this was using the power of attacking a city to kill him alone!
The storm continued, and no one approached the carriage, but kept raining arrows. The outside world was now full of corpses, broken arrows, and blood flowing like water, filled with the breath of death!
Facing the huge waves crashing against the shore, the carriage was like a reef in the midst of the ups and downs, becoming Fan Xian's last fortress.

There was another loud sound of a bowstring snapping, and a crossbow arrow struck again. This time, the carriage was not spared and was blown backwards. Inside the carriage, Fan Xian felt a sweetness in his mouth, and a trace of blood rushed up.

The number of people he brought back to Beijing this time was not large, as he wanted to leave most of them in Jiangnan to control the situation.

However, no matter how many people there were, they would only be slaughtered when facing so many enemies. Fan Xian was actually glad that fewer people followed him back to the capital.

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. While the carriage was flipping over, the wall on the side was moved to the ground under his feet, and the large holes on it allowed Fan Xian to see the land outside.

Thinking that the other party's main target was himself, it might be safer to keep the Gundam in the carriage.

After whispering a few words, and seeing Gaoda's determined expression, Fan Xian gathered all his inner energy, kicked through the side of the carriage under his feet, and crawled out of the hole.

He threw the robe in his hand that he had taken off long ago to the side, then tapped the ground with his toes and ran towards the direction of the valley without stopping!

Before the outer robe even hit the ground, it was pierced to pieces by countless arrows.
Not everyone's attention was attracted by the outer robe. As soon as Fan Xian left, countless arrows were shot into the place where he had just stayed. Some of the arrows were extremely accurate and shot towards Fan Xian's back.

Fan Xian let out a sharp scream and slapped his palm behind him, using the force to turn around in the air. His speed increased instead of decreasing. At the same time as the arrow shattered, he had already flown a long distance!
