No one in the Great Xia Dynasty knew Hu Nu better than Zhao Jingyi.

King Hunu has three sons, the eldest prince Dada was born to a deep concubine, but unfortunately his face is thin, and he died not long after giving birth to Dada; The mother of the second prince, Samul, is a concubine on the three sides, and now she is the most favored by King Hunu, and she was born in the most powerful Jihama tribe of the eighteen tribes, and has the strongest background; The third prince is still young, and his birth is not obvious, but he can't take a fancy to it.

Now the next King Hunu is the most competitive is nothing more than Dada and Samul, Dada was captured alive by Zhao Jingyi when he accidentally entered the Central Plains, if there is a slight accident, Samul is not only one less strong competitor, but also can arouse Hunu's hatred for the Great Xia Dynasty, not to mention the ransom of 10,000 cattle and sheep, a war is inevitable.

Emperor Xia Jingdi and Zhao Jingyi thought of this key together, so the purpose of this assassination was also clear.

The black thirteen riders blend in with the night.

The royal palace was not large, it was originally the old residence of a prince of the previous dynasty, and now it has not been rewarded, and it is temporarily used as a place to hold the grand prince of Hunu.

Before Zhao Jingyi arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the smell of blood in the air had already dispersed, and shouts could be faintly heard. It's a pity that today's Lantern Festival, a large number of troops are used as lantern streets, but Hu Nu has an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhao Jingyi's already cold face was even more cold, the big black horse raised his front hooves, and with a hiss, he quickly got off the horse sword and entered the courtyard and rushed towards the house where Dada was imprisoned.

Along the way, in the snow, there were a few guards lying cold, and the blood on their necks was still warm and slowly flowing out, soaking in the snow.

The masked man in black in front was still fighting with the guards, and the long knife reflected the white snow, stained red, as if with a biting chill.

A cold sword pierced the back of the man in black to his chest in an instant, and the long knife that had been cut off lost its strength, making a sound when it fell to the ground, followed by the muffled sound of the corpse falling to the ground.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw Zhao Jingyi, and suddenly burst into joy, "Lord Wang!" ”

Zhao Jingyi nodded at him, pulled it out and inserted it vertically. The long sword on the back of the man in black did not stop in the backyard.

Dada has been closely guarded since he was caught, as a warrior of the grassland, such imprisonment is like an eagle in shackles, it is worse than death, but if he is really asked to see Changshengtian, he does not have the courage.

During this period, what he thought about the most was how to shame the Great Xia Dynasty, especially Zhao Jingyi, after returning to the grassland.

Unfortunately, this will not be until he is able to return to the grassland.

Dada was overjoyed when he saw their Hunu warriors, but when Samul's face was revealed under the black mask, the joy of freedom instantly chilled his heart.

Samul looked at his brother's hellish horror and couldn't help but pull out a cruel smile.

"My brother, I'm really not happy to see you alive, as a warrior of Hunu, a wolf of the grassland, you still have the courage to live after being captured by the sheep of the Central Plains, I am really ashamed of you."

Samul raised the long knife in his hand, the tip of the knife glowing with cold light and dripping blood, pointed directly at Dada's heart, approaching step by step.

"Daddy won't let you kill me, Samul, you're going against Daddy's will." Dada stepped back, and the poor man was forced to the wall, and he looked left and right, how he wished to see the annoying guards at this time.

The smile on Samule's face turned to contempt, "Brother, what about your courage, are you counting on the enemy to save you?" ”

"Samul, we are brothers!"

Finally, Dada's back was against the wall, and Samul's face slapped in front of Dada, and he whispered in his ear: "We are brothers, and if it were you, we would not let me go." ”

Dada's eyes widened instantly, and Samul slowly moved away from him, he lowered his head, and his eyes saw Samule's long knife slowly pulling out of his body, and the power seemed to be slowly withdrawn......

He suddenly heard a few muffled snorts, the sound of swords colliding from far and near, Hunu's warriors fell, Samul gritted his teeth and raised his sword to meet him, and finally Zhao Jingyi's cold face came into his eyes.

"Zhao Jingyi!"

The enemy's eyes were red when they saw each other, and as a defeated subordinate of King Rui, or only Samule's eyes were red.

Dada can't die, this is Zhao Jingyi's idea, and Samule, the sword in his hand squinted his eyes and didn't feel hot.

The sound of the brigade came from the outer courtyard, and a Hunu warrior shouted to Samul: "Second prince, the officers and soldiers are here!" ”

Samul didn't care about him, and slashed at Zhao Jingyi, but Zhao Jingyi simply forced him into the house, thinking that if Dada died, it would be the same with Samul in his hands.

"Second prince, go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to go!" In the distance, there was the anxious shout of General Haridwar, and the footsteps were getting deeper and deeper, and Zhao Jingyi's twelve guards had gathered in this direction, and it was obvious that the Hunu warriors outside the house had been cleaned up.

"The eldest prince is dead, and you are the most important son of the king!" Haridwar's voice was hoarse, obviously in a hurry, and Samul listened to it.

Samule's sanity returned, and Zhao Jingyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep him today.

Sure enough, Samul withdrew the attack, and Hu Nu's individual combat ability was extremely strong, and at the risk of being stabbed by Zhao Jingyi, leaving a few scars, he forced himself out of the house and climbed onto the wall.

"Lord Wang!" Sima Zhongzhou, the commander of the five cities, saw Zhao Jingyi squatting down in front of Dada, and saw that the eldest prince was still alive, so he immediately asked: "Lord Wang, do you want to declare the imperial doctor immediately?" ”

Zhao Jingyi nodded, just looking at the injury, although Dada covered the wound, the blood still kept coming out of the fingers, I was afraid that by the time the imperial doctor came, it would already be a corpse.

However, he suddenly stood up, remembering a certain young man who was still taking care of his son in his mansion, and the Rui Wang's mansion was not far from here.

"Guard, look at him." After saying that, he strode away.

At this time, the lantern festival was coming to an end, and in the small study of Qi Yunxuan in Rui Wang's Mansion, under the candlelight, a young man was still holding a paintbrush and coloring several pictures of cats and mice.

Zhao Shizi, who kept saying that he was going to the end, was already confused and drowsy, Gu's mother wanted to carry him back to the bedroom to rest, but this kid was quite persistent, and he had to watch Lin Xi finish the lantern before he was willing to leave.

After Lin Xi coaxed and promised that tomorrow morning, Zhao Yuanrong would be able to see this lantern at the first glance before he would stop.

"Cousin, are you in time?" Before leaving, the kid was still suspicious.

If you hadn't had to pick and choose a story, you would have had to spend an hour or two, or it would have been good for a long time. It's just that this can only be said in my heart, and my mouth naturally has to be gentle as usual, "Don't be afraid, if I am slow, isn't there still a prince, since the prince promised to make you a lantern for the prince, I think he will always do it." And this lampshade is almost ready, only a shelf, it shouldn't be a difficult thing for the prince. ”

Zhao Jingyi looked like a person who did what he said, and Lin Xi was sure of seven points and three points of skepticism.

"Ancestor, it's almost two days, you are young, you can't go to bed late." Seeing that Shizi's expression was relaxed, Gu's mother quickly picked him up and went back to the bedroom to settle down.

Although Lin Xi was also sleepy, the speed in the hands of the trouble-making imp was much faster.

During this period, Gonggong Cao sent someone in to add charcoal fire, and personally delivered hot tea, watching Lin Xi's serious painting, he was happy and ironed.

"Lin Gongzi has worked hard." If there is no Lin Xi, the father and son of this palace don't know what big trouble to make, it is certain that the prince will cry endlessly, even if the prince is out on business, he must not rest assured.

Gonggong Cao sometimes suddenly thought, why is it that the Yongning Marquis Mansion is the Young Master Cousin instead of the Miss Cousin?

It's a pity, it's a pity.

Lin Xi said politely, and then quickly colored.

Seeing that his task is about to be completed, the final polish is enough, but the Rui Wang Ye who made the skeleton is still nowhere to be seen, if he doesn't come back, do you want him to stay up late?

But he won't!

When Lin Xi was calmly flustered, a burst of rapid footsteps finally came.

However, before he could rejoice, there was a "bang-" sound, Lin Xi's hand holding the fine brush that outlined the outline shook, Tom Cat's face suddenly distorted, he raised his head, and looked at Rui Wang Ye who opened the door so rudely in shock.

"Where's your medicine box?" Zhao Jingyi stood at the door, and under the dense moonlight, the cold air on his body spread.

Something happened again...... Lin Xi chuckled again in his heart, every time it was the middle of the night.

"My maid keeps it." He said.

Zhao Jingyi immediately looked sideways and ordered the guards, "Go and get it quickly, and wait for this king at the gate of the mansion." ”

Then he took off the big hat on his body, strode into the study and walked towards Lin Xi.

"Lord Wang, wait ......" Before Lin Xi finished speaking, the big coat was draped on Lin Xi's body, because it was Zhao Jingyi's size, it was directly dragged to the ground when it was worn on Lin Xi's body.

The room was not cold, this piece was thick and heavy, and Lin Xi immediately felt very hot. But his heart is very cold, looking at Zhao Jingyi's posture, nine out of nine are about to run around in the snowy night.

"Lin Gongzi, the situation is urgent, I am offended again." Zhao Jingyi's deep voice sounded above his head, and then as expected, as soon as Lin Xi was put on his head, he was immediately resisted, and with the big stride of Rui Wangye, he walked out of the study.

It didn't take long for Lin Xi to be let go of the familiar horse's back, and then a solid arm was placed across his waist, only to hear a voice of "Hold on to this king." ”

The neighing of horses sounded, and the gallop brought the wind to the ears.

Lin Xi hugged Zhao Jingyi's waist tightly again, his face still pressed against the warm chest, thinking that if he was a woman, hugging and hugging like this happened three times, it was estimated that there would be no second way except to marry Zhao Jingyi.

But this time there were no bumps and bumps and dizziness and arrived at the destination, Lin Xi suddenly felt the hand on his waist let go, and there was a short sound of a long sword unsheathed in his ears, followed by a "bang", Lin Xi's face was invisible to Zhao Jingyi's chest, but the horse sitting down neighed restlessly and raised its front hooves, he felt that he and Zhao Jingyi were leaning back, and his heart couldn't help but panic.

"Hold on." Zhao Jingyi's voice was still calm, and Lin Xi's panicked heart was also slightly calmed down because he couldn't see. But then the sonorous sounds sounded one after another, and there were guards shouting beside him, "Lord Wang, be careful!" ”

The horse's front hooves were raised and lowered, and the hat on Lin Xi's head also fell, and he turned his head just in time to see arrows shooting towards him.

The pupils were instantly dilated, and Lin Xi even saw that the tip of the arrow was still bubbling with a cold cold light. Then a long sword swung and swept across and cut off the arrows one by one, making that sonorous sound, like the sound of Lin Xi's heart beating.

The palms of his hands were covered with cold sweat.

Zhao Jingyi lowered his head and just glanced at Lin Xi, the child hugged his waist tightly, his arm seemed to have stiffened, and he didn't make a sound, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet, and his heart was slightly unbearable.

I couldn't help but whisper, "Don't be afraid. ”

Lin Xi's body shook slightly, and the voice seemed to have convincing power, and his stiff body slowly softened.

Didn't cry, didn't tremble, didn't scream, it was quiet, Zhao Jingyi praised his good courage.

Then he raised his head and looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, the long sword in his hand snapped softly, and his eyes narrowed coldly.

Samul didn't go, but ambushed him on the road.

The two rounds of arrows did not let Zhao Jingyi suffer a little skin injury, Samul was extremely dissatisfied, and he was deeply jealous of him, his eyes fell on the person who was tightly protected by Zhao Jingyi, the cold light flashed in the wolf's eyes, and he glanced at the warriors around him, and without hesitation, he picked up the long knife and slashed it over.

"Lord Wang!" Although the guards immediately approached the rescue, they were held back by the other Hunu.

On weekdays, no matter how many Hunu people besiege them together, they would not be worried, but now a helpless chicken is still gasping for three steps, and no matter how strong the martial arts of the Rui prince is, he will be tied.

When the long knives from the front three parties on the left and right slashed over, Lin Xi's heart almost stopped, which was even more terrifying than when he turned his back to the muzzle.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhao Jingyi had already slashed the one on the right, and in an instant, he took advantage of the situation to frame Samul in front of him, and at the same time raised his left arm to block the knife that was slashing at Lin Xi on the left.

His eyes were cold, and sparks sparked between the long sword and the long knife, and the blade of the sword was pushed towards Samul, pointing directly at the hand holding the sword. Samur was forced to retreat, and Zhao Jingyi's long sword immediately pierced the chest of the Hunu on the left.

Blood spurted out and splashed onto Lin Xi's face, and it was too short to tell whether the blood was a wound on Zhao Jingyi's arm. Lin Xi moved his lips, without making a sound, his eyes widened, embedded in his pale face, fragile as if he would be shattered at the touch of a touch.

He had never faced such a tragic assassination scene, and he was a little stunned for a while.

However, Lin Xi could be stunned, but Zhao Jingyi couldn't, fighting with one arm, he got a hint of a turnaround, and immediately pointed his long sword at Samule.

Even with injuries on his hands, Zhao Jingyi was still as steady as Mount Tai at the moment, and even the horses under the seat did not panic at all.

Seeing that the guards of the Rui Wangfu gathered around Zhao Jingyi, knowing that the general trend was gone, General Haridwar scattered and fled as soon as he pulled Samul.

It's just that he was given such a big gift, and the young man who didn't know anything about the world in his arms was frightened, how could Zhao Jingyi not return the salute. He took the longbow from the guard, set up the arrow, aimed it at Samul's back, narrowed his eyes coldly, and as the Hunu leaped up to the wall in front of them, the galloping arrow immediately pierced the sky with a buzzing sound.

"Let's go!"

Without looking at whether the arrow hit, Zhao Jingyi clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and flicked the reins and headed towards the other courtyard.
