Chapter 42
"Stop!" the carriage drove to the pass, and was immediately intercepted by the forbidden army, "who is in the car?"
The thin monkey did not open his mouth, and several forbidden soldiers noticed the abnormality and immediately went down to the city to search.
I sat in the carriage, and next to me sat a star slave who had been disguised as Helan Lone.
"Xingnu, now Helan Lin is hiding in the dark under the carriage, he wants to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, and my life will never be in danger as his talisman. You must remember to protect yourself!" The moment before the forbidden army lifted the curtain, I took the hand of the star slave and explained in a low and cautious voice.
"Don't worry, Qi Ye will definitely come to save us......"
The noise outside the car became louder and louder, and someone jerked the curtain, and I turned my head to look, Xiao Ao's face was shocked in the backlight, and he was stunned.
"Princess, are you really still alive......" Xiao Ao turned his head to look at the star slave, "Who is this person?"
"Turkic Helan, doesn't Xiao Tongwei recognize it?"
"The enemy crown prince is trying to assassinate the Son of Heaven, how can the last general not know?" Xiao Ao replied in a solemn voice, with a fierce look on his reckless face.
The dark grid under the carriage, Helan waited for the opportunity to move, and the dark grid that had already installed phosphorus fire explosives had an accident, and with a slight twist of the machine, this place would be razed to the ground. At that time, Helan will take advantage of the chaos and flee, whether I die of poison or burn myself, I will eventually end up with no place to be buried.
A cold sweat broke out on my back, and the experience along the way swirled in my mind.
The Turks colluded with the Xiao clan, and now Helan Lin has been stripped of his rights, which is equivalent to exile. The former allies turned their faces and did not recognize people, and Helan took a desperate attempt to hijack the holy car and planted a false accusation on the territory of the Xiao family. However, with a wrong move, Yuwen Qiye took the first step to escort me, and Helan Lin turned to kidnap me, and the whole situation became more and more intense in a subtle direction - Xiao Chongyan would not let Helan Lin set foot in Yizhou no matter what, he had too many Xiao clans and Turkic collusion handles. For Yuwen, this is a great opportunity to fight back.
I'm caught between selfish desires and reality, and I can't move. There is no way out. Helan Lin knows too many secrets, which threatens me, my father, and even the clan.
Today's sword gate confrontation will no longer be me and Yuwen dealing with the Xiao clan together. It's that I, as a princess, can only maintain the dignity of the heavenly family in front of the imperial family.
"The princess is really blessed with a great life!" Xiao Ao said in a strange manner, turning his head and waving to the forbidden army surrounded outside the car, "Inside the car is the assassin who held the emperor hostage that day! The emperor has an order that no one should be left alive!
"General, slow down!" I guessed that there were thousands of cold arrows pointed at me outside the car, and Xiao Ao's brutal and direct approach made my back sweat dripping.
I quickly jumped out of the carriage, surrounded by heavily armored soldiers, the thin monkey had been captured, and the feather forest, who was holding the arrow, was stunned when he saw me, and the arrow gradually pressed downward.
"The emperor has an order! Kill the personalities involved with the Turkic assassins! Release the arrows!"
"Presumptuous!" I shouted, but I didn't have any sense of proportion in my heart. Countless silver arrows burst out of cold light in front of me, making me dizzy.
"I'm the eldest princess of Zhaoyuan, don't you all recognize me?" My eyes swept around and fixed on Xiao Ao, "Yulin Jingwei abides by military discipline, how can he be careless of human life?" Xiao Tongwei, do you say yes?"
Xiao Ao gritted his teeth and looked at me, his eyes were full of resentment, and he held his hands together: "...... Yes, Princess Zhaoyuan!"
Everyone put down the bows and arrows in their hands and bowed their heads and bowed: "The last general is late, please forgive the eldest princess!"
I looked up at the city gate, there was no figure of Jin Wu in the tower, and there was no movement in the carriage, I took a deep breath, the safety of the star slave is the most important now.
"General, there's a masked man in the carriage!" the two Yu Lin guards searched the carriage and came to report.
"This person is wearing a mask, and he is the Turkic assassin who hijacked the car that day!
"Wait!" Xiao Ao stared at me, rolled his eyes, and said, "Have you searched this carriage carefully?"
I was a spirit, and my whole heart was about to stand up, and I looked at the thin monkey who was being restrained by the side, and my ears were terrified at the slightest disturbance.
Helan can't be allowed to enter the city...... Nor can innocent people be killed......
I was thinking about weighing it when the skinny monkey suddenly broke free of his grip and ran towards me quickly, grabbing me by the neck.
Yulin was diverted, and for a while the spearhead was directed at me and the thin monkey.
"Don't come here!" the skinny monkey held me down and threatened the crowd, "If you don't want her dead, lay down your weapons!"
Xiao Ao was stunned, and everyone hesitated when they saw this.
The skinny monkey used me as a shield and yelled, "Open the gates!
There was a dead silence all around. One or two geese chirped past, and the sun gradually rose, shining on the unattainable Sword Gate.
"Entering the customs?" Xiao Ao suddenly sneered, "The emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to step through the Sword Gate Pass!" With that, he stared straight at me, and the ferocity in his eyes made an ominous omen burst out in my heart.
"The princess fought with the assassin for her life, and the escort was meritorious, even if she died, the people of the Great Zhou will still be grateful to you!"
Xiao Ao waved his hand and didn't squint: "Release the arrow!"
Thousands of cold arrows pointed directly at me in an instant, the sunlight reflected a large piece of silver light on the sharp arrows, my temples jumped suddenly, and in an instant, I was not allowed to hesitate at this moment, life and death were all the difference between a thought.
I yelled into the carriage, "Star slave—"
A dark shadow flew out of the carriage, and the star slave climbed over the carriage and suddenly sat on the horse's back.
"No—" The star slave did something that I didn't expect, and I yelled, my throat choked from behind, and my voice was almost hoarse.
Countless arrows flew towards me in unison, like locusts.
In the seconds before death, the sound of arrows rubbing against the air was merely heard. My mind went blank for a moment, and all of a sudden the world was spinning.
A neighing of horses' hooves burst my eardrums, and I opened my eyes suddenly, and at the last moment, the star slave pulled me into the carriage, and the thin monkey behind me had fallen in a pool of blood, ten thousand arrows piercing my heart.
"Chase!"
A group of cavalry poured out of the pass, and Xiao Ao took the lead, chasing after us with a fast horse.
"Xingnu, there is Helan Lin under the car!" On the bumpy carriage, I explored the breathing in the secret compartment of the car, and my mind became more and more confused, and the mountain road in front of me suddenly cut off - "Oops! It's a cliff!"
"Click-"
There was a faint sound of a bracket turning in the dark, and my ears immediately pricked up, and the air instantly became stagnant.
I snatched the reins from the star slave's hand and pulled abruptly—"Phew!" The horse under me let out a long roar, and with a tilt of the front hooves, I was thrown into the air by the erection of the horse, and the carriage was forcibly stopped on the edge of the cliff.
I tugged at the sleeve of the star slave: "The carriage is about to explode, go quickly!"
An earth-shattering sound came from the dark grid, and the star slave suddenly pushed me away, and a huge force caused me to fall out of the carriage, "boom-" There was a huge explosion sound behind me, I didn't care about the severe pain in my body, and when I looked back, the carriage burned into a raging sea of fire in an instant.
"Star slave!" I cried out in despair, and without thinking about it, I hurried towards the flames, "Star slave...... Star Slave!"
