There was no word all night, and in the blink of an eye, the team immediately started and looked east.

This walk, it is half a moon, there is nothing to do along the way, the dignified and enlightened country's family mission, those bandits and robbers, have long fled from the wind, how dare they give birth to the careful thinking of blocking the road and robbing.

Du Xuan and the fake eldest princess also got acquainted, and a wonderful tacit understanding was established between the two.

During the day, it is the relationship between the aunt and the little nephew, and Du Xuan will also go to the aunt's carriage to say hello decently, doing the duty of a well-behaved little nephew.

At night, the false princess will leave her luxuriously decorated carriage and gladly come to the little prince's carriage to provide free personal protection for the little one.

The two are like two cute hedgehogs, guarding each other, and needing each other, maintaining a suitable safe distance, they can hug each other for warmth, and they will not tie each other.

All the way to the east, it became more and more desolate.

At that time, in the geographical concept of the Central Plains people, the great enlightened country located in the southwest corner was just a remote barbarian land. Similarly, in the eyes of the enlightened people who regard themselves as the center of the world, Pakistan to the east is nothing more than a remote barbarian land.

Before reaching the border between the two countries, the further east, the more desolate it becomes, the land is barren, and the grain does not grow, compared with the Chengdu Plain, which is fertile and rich in products, it is completely different. It is no wonder that this eastern neighbor has long coveted the vast territory of enlightenment.

Fortunately, all the way to the east, the weather is gradually getting warmer. The heavy snow has stopped for several days since the beginning of winter, and the snow on both sides of the road is about to melt away, and the occasional remaining snow is scattered among the wild grass and loess, like a few white hairs on the head of a bald man, which has no beauty at all.

Taking advantage of the better weather, the mission team immediately picked up speed.

In the evening of that day, when the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, the team came to a canyon and searched for a place to stay.

The terrain of this place is not suitable for camping, and when he saw the sky, the Dianke Zhao ordered to immediately turn over a small hill in front of him, and then rest.

Waiting to cross the hillside, everyone was happy, at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the hillside, there was an inn, in this place where there was no store in front of the village, there was this inn, it was really an unexpected joy.

The team came down the mountain non-stop, intending to dismount and stay here.

It's just that this inn is really too small, and the whole thing is like a joke, including the shopkeeper and the guy, there are only three people in total.

The shopkeeper is an old man, leading a man and a woman two guys, trembling to greet him, just look at the team of this Hao Hao soup, all fresh clothes and angry horses, and then look at the enlightened banner at the beginning, it is clear that this team, the origin is too big, their own small shop, can not accommodate one-tenth of its people, this is about to get the silver, it seems that it wants to earn but can not earn.

"This official family, the small shop is ugly, I am afraid that it will not be able to accommodate your noble body, and please forgive me. The old man hurriedly gave up his hand, facing the leader of Lord Zhao, and he was careless.

"It's okay, but please arrange two good guest rooms, and the rest of the people will wait for the carriage and horses, and camp around the inn. ”

Lord Zhao waved his hand to stop the shop, and immediately arranged for the attendants to set up camp.

What is called a big bully, this is. The store hasn't agreed yet, so it's arranged?

The shopkeeper didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly thanked him, and then asked Lord Zhao to send some people from the accompanying men to prepare the meal together.

After a short time, the two so-called first-class rooms were cleaned up, and the noble eldest princess and the little prince Pan each had their own one.

In the second half of the night, the ugly friends.

On the night of the first month of the lunar month, the guards of the mission patrolled around the inn with torches, focusing on the two first-class rooms.

A cold wind blew down from the hillside opposite the inn, blowing the torch's flame off course.

At this time, several dark shadows appeared silently on the top of the mountain, subtly blending into the endless night. This sudden wind masked their breath very well.

In the next moment, several figures quickly flew down the top of the mountain, and then scattered in all directions, quietly approaching the inn from multiple directions, finding a predetermined position, and lurking still.

Squeak!

At this moment, the door of the shopkeeper and the two men opened.

"Who?" the two nearby guards hurriedly caught up and raised their torches.

"Yes...... It's the old body. ”

An old voice replied, "In the firelight, it was the shopkeeper."

Immediately, the old man lit the oil lamp hanging in the doorway.

"The two officials worked hard...... The old body is useless, and this night is becoming more and more frequent. ”

The old man explained, holding up the oil lamp and walking tremblingly towards the latrine.

The two guards were relieved and turned to continue patrolling.

At this moment, two figures suddenly poured out of the half-open door, it was a man and a woman in the inn.

The next moment, the two guys moved in unison, and at the same time rushed behind the two guards, and at the same time the two hands came out, each with his left hand covering the other's mouth from behind the quilt, and the right hand holding the sword, and the two cold lights flashed, wiping the necks of the two guards together.

Poof!

With two slight muffled sounds, the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood, and the next moment it was blown silently by the cold wind blowing down from the top of the mountain.

The two men extinguished the torches, quickly changed into the guards' coats while it was dark, lit the torches, and pretended to continue patrolling, inadvertently, blocking the intersection approaching the inn from the left and right.

The old man, who was trembling towards the latrine, passed by the door of the eldest princess's guest room, and the oil lamp in his hand suddenly went out for some reason.

The old man muttered something indistinctly, and shuddered to light the oil lamp again.

Just lit it, it went off again, and then it went off again.

If so, the third is to leave slowly.

However, it was said that several figures lurking in the shadows had accurately received the signal from the old man, and the location of the guest room where the target was located had been determined, which also meant that the other two companions had killed two guards and pretended to be guards guarding the two important passages on the left and right of the inn.

Several lurking figures got up at the same time, silently approaching the room where the eldest princess was, blocking the doors and windows.

Click!

After two slight noises, the door and window silently opened, and several figures shot in at the same time.

In the darkness, several figures seemed to be familiar with the location of the furniture in the room, and as soon as they entered the room, without stopping, the long sword shot at the same time, hitting the only bed in the room.

Poof!

With a single blow, the sound of the tip of the sword piercing into the flesh was clearly audible.

"Withdraw!"

A voice rang out in the darkness, and several Assassins drew their swords and retreated.

Click!

Suddenly, there was a slight noise, and the doors and windows that had just been opened suddenly closed.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in the darkness.
