Early the next morning, there was a long queue of carriages and horses preparing to return to the city, and although it was not as heavy as it was when it came, the huge convoy was still staggering. Knowing that they were leaving, the people came to see them off with gongs and drums.

Xiahou Yichen condescendingly rode on a horse, with a slender and upright posture and a charming and impermanent face, shining in the sun, like a god, making people humble and dare not look directly. Dongfan, Beiming and Nanze followed him on horseback side by side, leading the medical officer and the entourage of the convoy towards the outside of the city.

The people crowded to see each other off until their convoy left the city and disappeared from everyone's sight completely. So far, the disaster relief trip has come to a successful conclusion.

Lin Xiaoyou was arranged in the front carriage, spacious and tidy, next to a small couch covered with a thick quilt, she lay quietly on it, and the little fox honestly curled up beside her pillow, quiet and stable. Next to the bed is a table with various medicines and food, and Duo Duo is carefully tending to it.

"Plop, plop." There was a sound of birds flapping their wings, and after a white carrier pigeon circled in mid-air, it landed on Xiahou Yichen's shoulder briskly and dexterously.

Xiahou Yichen gently pulled the reins and strangled the horse moving forward, grabbed the pigeon and pulled out the note tied to its leg, and said casually: "The disaster relief is over, what does the imperial brother want this king to do?" ”

"Maybe the emperor is thinking about the safety of his master, maybe you can go back as much as possible!" Nanzawa chuckled and took over.

Dongfan glanced at him lightly, and shook his head calmly and gently, "I don't see it." ”

"Noise." Beiming's frozen expression rarely squeezed out two words.

Xiahou Yichen stared at the note several times in a row, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, revealing a hint of intriguing smile, and secretly used his internal strength, and the note suddenly turned into nothingness. "You three are very idle! It's okay, I'll have something to do right away. ”

Bei Ming and Dong Fan glanced at each other with blank faces, and saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes. Nanze was a little excited, and asked positively, "What's the matter?" Fight or kill? ”

For him, as long as he doesn't go back and face the pile of ledgers that give him a headache, he can do anything.

Xiahou Yichen didn't answer immediately, looking up at the sky, as if thinking. After half a ring, he slowly spoke: "General Bai Ninghao Bai has discovered a change at the border of Licheng, where General Bai Ninghao has reinforced, and the Tianjin Kingdom has waved 100,000 troops to fight against our army at the border. Neither attacking nor retreating, I don't know what idea he is making, the royal brother hopes that the king will rush to investigate the situation as soon as possible. ”

A wave of unsettled waves rose again and again, and Beiming's eyes crossed with surprise, and he instantly retreated, and said in a cold voice: "Since you don't attack or retreat, is there an enemy army sneaking into the barracks, and they are stationed waiting for news, ready to come and meet outside?" ”

"Isn't it too strange, if they really want to start a war, then our disaster relief period is not the best time for them, why wait until our disaster relief is over before they take action? This qiē seems to be coming for you, master. Dongfan said.

"It's okay to rush there now, but how should the princess be placed?" Nanzawa said the crux of the problem. On one side is the princess who is injured and needs to be treated, and on the other side is the Tianjin Kingdom that suddenly started a war. No matter which side is urgent, it is really a headache.

Xiahou Yichen turned over and dismounted, walked two steps quickly, and jumped onto Lin Xiaoyu's carriage, feeling that she was breathing steadily after feeling sleepy, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Has the princess ever woken up?"

Duoduo lowered his head tightly, shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No." ”

"Go back to the palace and explain your affairs well, this king doesn't like people of unknown origin. If something happens to the princess on the road, you should know the consequences? ”

"Yes." Duoduo replied respectfully, lowering her head so that people couldn't see clearly.

Xiahou Yichen's half-narrowed black eyes flashed a trace of cold killing intent at the moment when he swept over the flowers, and he straightened the quilt for Lin Xiaoyou before turning around and getting out of the car. ”

Dongfan Beiming and Nan Ze waited outside the carriage, just waiting for Xiahou Yichen's order before they could act.

Looking at the three people on standby, Xiahou Yichen said loudly: "Dongfan, Beiming, and Nanze listen to the order, you will continue to escort the princess back, and then immediately ask the imperial brother's imperial doctor to treat her, and use the medicinal materials and supplements that should be used." In short, when the king returns, he does not see anyone alive, so you all come to see him. ”

"No, it's a long way to go, how can the master go alone!" As his right-hand man, how could Beiming not know Xiahou Yichen's plan and immediately refused.

"That's right, if this is a plan set up by the enemy, then the master will be in danger."

"Why don't you let Fan and Ming escort the princess, and his subordinates and the prince rush to the border of Licheng together?"

The three of them objected together, and Xiahou Yichen rolled his eyes, staring at them and raising a bright and charming smile, "How does this king's martial arts compare to yours?" "That lazy voice, with a hint of laziness, is very good.

"The master's martial arts are outstanding, and his subordinates are ashamed." The three of them bowed their heads and replied respectfully.

"That's it, the princess will hand it over to you, and this king has his own arrangements. Whoever dares to slack off and make a mistake, this king will not be spared. In the end, Xiahou Yichen made a decision and spoke calmly. The expression between his eyebrows was firm, and he was not swayed by their obstruction.

Thinking of that delicate figure, his heart couldn't help but feel a faint pain, and after a slight pause in his tone, Xiahou Yichen continued: "Don't think this is a very easy thing, have you ever thought about why Gao Huatian wanted to kidnap the princess? He is a small killer, if it is not for the seduction of others, where does he get the guts. Dragon Studios is in danger, and how many eyes are staring at us, you won't not understand the power of this. ”

Listening to his analytical words, the words that the three of them came to their lips to obstruct finally swallowed back. Kneeling on one knee, a sonorous voice assured: "Your subordinates obey the order, and we will escort the princess back to the house safely." ”

Xiahou Yichen nodded silently, and successively explained some other matters before riding a fast horse and leaving. All the things that Yan Li experienced were deliberately arranged for him, and if he didn't succeed, there would be a follow-up, and he had to leave alone to divert their attention to himself, so as to avoid the crisis on Lin Xiaoyou's way back to the city.

As the sun sets, the night gradually covers the entire sky, and the light of the remaining bright moon and countless stars illuminates the footsteps of passers-by. A fast horse galloped quickly on the trail under the hazy moonlight, so fast that I could only hear the night wind whistling in my ears, and the surrounding scenery was flickering and changing rapidly, leaving a series of phantoms.

In the secluded mountains, Lin Xiaoyu leaned under the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, his relaxed and cold posture was as free as the wind without any restraints.

"Senior brother." Suddenly, a tactful and familiar voice sounded softly in his ears, and Lin Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and he suddenly opened his eyes like thunder.

Quiet, in the darkness of barren mountains and secluded forests, as quiet as usual, how can there be a trace of wind and grass. For some reason, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly panicked in his heart, suppressing his dullness and discomfort. Get up and walk a few steps slowly, standing on a high place with a lot of air, trying to relieve the discomfort in your heart.

"Childe." A man in black quickly flashed behind him, clenched his fists and said, "I just received a message from the flying pigeon, and Miss's assassination plan failed." ”

"Really?" The cold voice slowly spit out from Lin Xiaoyu's mouth, and he couldn't hear the emotion.

"Li Cheng moved, Xiahou Yichen quickly stepped up and went alone, without accompanying guards."

Li Cheng? Lin Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly and finally had a hint of reaction, according to the plan, he was ready to rob and kill Xiahou Yichen on their way back to the city, if he left alone, then the current plan would have to be nullified. I couldn't help but turn my head and ask, "Is the message accurate?" ”

"There will be no mistake, this is the news from the young lady herself. Since the failure of their assassination plan, Qi Niang has been secretly probing their every move with the remaining people, and indeed saw Xiahou Yichen copying the path and going in the direction of Licheng alone. The man in black said with certainty.

"Really?" Lin Xiaoyu's calm expression suddenly became gloomy. Li Cheng moved, and the Dragon Shadow City must have learned the news a long time ago, so when they calculated the time for Xiahou Yichen to return to the city, they sent Xiahou Yichen to investigate the situation. And the old fox, knowing that his target was Xiahou Yichen, did not inform him in advance, and deliberately let him wait here to continue to rob and kill, his sinister intentions are self-evident.

The failure of Yan Li's plan, whether it was assassinating Leng Xuran or poisoning Xiahou Yichen, was all because of Xiao Yu's sabotage of their plan. And Xiaoyou is both his junior sister and Xiahou Yichen's princess, such a special identity is undoubtedly a stumbling block for Yi Hongyuan's old fox. As long as Xiahou Yichen leaves, then the old fox people under his command will definitely take advantage of the chaos to point a crisis at Xiaoyu.

When did it start that his goal changed to Xiaoyou, or from the beginning, Xiaoyou's appearance was a thorn in his heart, and he had to get rid of it quickly. Lin Xiaoyu keenly saw through the key between his eyebrows.

"What else?"

Listening to his cold question, the man in black's eyes flashed unnaturally, and changed the topic: "Childe, Xiahou Yichen has already left alone, and their convoy back to the city will soon pass by us, what should we do next?" ”

How? Lin Xiaoyu's handsome face showed a deep sneer, and he suddenly turned around, and his cold eyes shot at the man in black expressionlessly. "Are you going to say it yourself, or are you going to force me to say it?"

The simple words, revealing a chilling killing intent, the man in black looked startled, involuntarily took a step back and was a little flustered, and said in an unsteady tone: "Xiahou Yichen's princess is seriously injured and is in critical condition. The specific situation is not very clear to the subordinates. But the master's intention is that now is the best time to do it. ”

"Seriously injured and in critical condition." Lin Xiaoyu muttered to herself, her cold gaze locked on the man in black, not knowing what she was thinking.

The man in black shrank in fear, although Lin Xiaoyu didn't do anything at the moment, his quiet gaze made him feel a fear that he had never felt before.

"Tell me to go down and hurry overnight, and be sure to redeploy before Xiahou Yichen goes to Licheng." After being silent for a long time, Lin Xiaoyu finally retracted his gaze. Walking slowly, he walked past the man in black and left. "If there is a next time, you don't have to live."

An indifferent warning came from behind him, and the man in black couldn't help but be furious. This fear waited for Lin Xiaoyu to leave before it slowly improved, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't know when he was already in a cold sweat.

Xiahou Yichen, the contest between you and me has officially begun from this moment
