The first time in history

Just when he was at a loss, Jiang Ying quickly bent down and carefully observed the corpse.

"Amateurs can never be better than professionals." Qian Mingduo said to himself. He had never seen such a bloody scene before, and he was a little scared. He turned around and squatted in the bushes, observing his surroundings vigilantly.

After a moment, Jiang Ying looked up and observed the surroundings, then whispered to Qian Mingduo, "He was killed with one sword, right in the throat. This man is a master."

"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from the west of Xiangxi Corridor. Qian Mingduo and Jiang Ying didn't bother to hide anymore, and they quickly ran towards Xiangxi Corridor.

The sound of swords clashing suddenly arose, and Jiang Ying shouted loudly: "There is an assassin."

Xiangxi Corridor was just outside the main hall where Xi Shi lived. There were not many visible guards here, but there were many secret guards. After the assassin killed a secret guard silently, another secret guard not far away discovered his trail and immediately rushed forward to fight.

They were fighting in the dark under the jade steps of the hall. Jiang Ying's loud shout just now had mobilized all the sentries around Guanwa Palace, and they all moved here quickly.

The assassin was indeed as Jiang Ying said, with agile hands, and he was not at all defeated when fighting two people alone. However, as the guards continued to join in, the assassin's left arm was injured, and blood splattered everywhere.

The assassin retreated to a stone pillar, took out something from the pocket behind his waist and threw it into the air. Suddenly, a thick white mist filled the air, blocking people's sight.

The assassin took the opportunity to jump onto a flower bed and fled to the south.

"Chase!" Jiang Ying ordered loudly.

These well-trained guards have eyes as sharp as eagles and steady and powerful steps. When Jiang Ying gives orders, they follow her steps without hesitation, demonstrating a high degree of discipline and execution.

Qian Mingduo was a fake, he could not compare with these real palace guards, but he also tried his best to follow behind.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain" flashed through Qian Mingduo's mind. There are too many such plots in movies and TV series. One assassin leads all the guards away, while another assassin sneaks in quietly and successfully assassinates the target who is no longer protected by the guards.

Qian Mingduo stopped chasing and looked back at the hall. The people inside were awakened by the fighting outside and they lit candles.

A dark figure was peeping into the hall through the window lattice. The lights and candles in the hall just made his figure appear above the window.

"Fuck, there really is one." Qian Mingduo was secretly shocked, and then he rushed towards the hall at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. When he saw the figure outside the window had already jumped in through another open window, Qian Mingduo shouted loudly: "There is an assassin, put out the candle."

Although Qian Mingduo was not a professional guard, he understood that being in the dark with the assassin would increase the difficulty of the assassination.

The people in the hall seemed not to hear his voice, and the candlelight was still flickering.

"Ah..." With the maid's scream, the candlelight in the hall dimmed a little. Apparently, the maid fell to the ground and extinguished the candle in her hand.

Qian Mingduo had already rushed out of the hall. He kicked the door open and drew his sword. In a corner of the hall, a few candles flickered behind the curtain.

At this moment, another maid seemed to fall to the ground, and the hall suddenly became much darker.

Qian Mingduo moved quickly to the corner, and when he pushed aside a veil with his sword, he was stunned by the scene before him: two maids fell to the ground, groaning constantly, with blood slowly flowing around them.

Xi Shi was forced into a corner of the hall by several maids. A slim assassin with a black veil covering his face pointed his sword at Xi Shi.

Qian Mingduo didn't have time to think about it. He rushed forward and stood guard in front of Xi Shi.

"Xiao Ke!" Qian Mingduo shouted loudly, his voice full of anxiety and nervousness.

"Sir?" Xiaoke heard Qian Mingduo's call and responded loudly.

"Go outside the palace quickly and call the guards." Qian Mingduo said calmly.

The assassin tried to prevent Xiaoke from leaving the hall. She tried to stop Xiaoke, but Qian Mingduo waved the sword in his hand and blocked the assassin's way.

The assassin was forced to take a step back and avoid Qian Mingduo's attack. But he did not give up and continued to approach Xiaoke. Qian Mingduo was not afraid and swung his sword again to fight fiercely with the assassin.

Xiao Ke had already run to the palace gate, but the high threshold caught her toes and she fell heavily to the ground. She tried to get up, but fell again. Xiao Ke supported her body with her arms and shouted loudly to the guards, hoping to get help as soon as possible.

Qian Mingduo had never practiced martial arts, so he could only fight the assassin with his ruthlessness and badminton skills. After a few moves, Qian Mingduo felt his entire arm holding the sword go numb. Moreover, his left shoulder had been stabbed by the assassin, and blood was flowing.

He didn't expect this seemingly slender assassin to be so powerful. He felt that if he fought a few more moves, his sword would definitely be blown away by the assassin. Maybe there would be a few more holes on his body.

At this moment, Qian Mingduo made a move that shocked everyone. He threw the sword to the ground, and in the assassin's surprised eyes, Qian Mingduo quickly pulled out the Browning from his waist. He held the gun with both hands and pointed the gun at the assassin.

"Not Brother," Xishi behind Qian Mingduo whispered, "You... this is..."

"Don't be afraid, girl." Qian Mingduo stretched out his left hand, embraced Xi Shi who was clinging to his back, sneered, and said, "I'm definitely no match for you in swordplay, so I'll fucking play with you with a gun."

At this time, a scream came from the west wall of Guanwa Palace. The assassin recognized that it was her accomplice who made the scream. She subconsciously glanced in that direction and fiercely pressed towards Qian Mingduo and the others.

"It seems that your accomplices are finished." Qian Mingduo shouted, "I advise you to put down your weapons immediately. You can surrender your guns and I won't kill you."

"You are so weak that you can't even tie a chicken," the assassin said grimly, "and you threw away your sword like an idiot. How dare you ask me to put down my weapon?"

Xi Shi had already pressed herself against the wall in the corner, and they had no way to retreat. Xi Shi hugged Qian Mingduo with her arms, her body trembling constantly. The two maids were also trembling, but they still stood firmly in front of them.

"Don't act rashly," Qian Mingduo said softly, "This woman doesn't look like a good person. She is very powerful. Don't make any unnecessary sacrifices."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance; it was the guards running towards the hall.

"Come quickly!" Xiao Ke's legs were injured. She couldn't stand up and could only support her body with her arms. She also heard footsteps in the distance. Bina shouted loudly: "There is another assassin here, come quickly! ......"
