Gao Li went to the capital to work before they set off, and Huang Sheng still stayed in Yanzhou to protect the rest of the female children, so only the four guards traveled with Song Chen this time.

But what few people know is that King Heng's guards are all extraordinary masters, and those who can be his personal guards are even more top-notch, although Gao Li and Huang Sheng are missing, but the remaining Lu Fang, Xing Feng, Shi Yi and Zou Zhen are very easy to defeat any of them. Although the assassin was also a top-notch kung fu master, the four of them still had the upper hand in comparison. Moreover, there are more than a dozen other guards selected from each other, so although there are many people on the other side, they still win on the land side, and the only thing that is lacking is that the master is injured.

Finally, a few people from the Lu side who rushed to Song Chen's room entered Song Chen's room and knelt down to plead guilty, "Today's subordinates were negligent and injured the prince, please ask the prince to surrender." ”

"Now is not the time to condemn." Song Chen waved his hand and asked, "Have you left your mouth alive?" ”

"Back to the prince, there are more than 200 people on the other side, all of whom are dead, and there were originally two living people left under him, but ...... Due to negligence, the two men committed suicide. ”

Predictable.

But even if he doesn't leave a living mouth, he can tell whose hand it is.

"Two hundred dead soldiers? I really look up to this king! Song Chen sneered, and asked instead, "Has the capital been arranged?" ”

This time it was Xing Feng who replied, he bowed his head and said, "Back to the prince, it has been arranged." ”

"Good!" There was murderous aura surging under Jun Mei's eyebrows, and Song Chen said coldly: "Give this king such a generous gift, this king must return it, send a message to Gao Li, tomorrow night, this king will return it all." ”

"Yes."

Xing Feng responded, immediately exited the door, and disappeared into the vast night.

The place where they settled was Luzhou, which was near Gyeonggi, and when Song Chen entered the door, the post chief hurriedly sent someone to inform the Luzhou prefect, and several officials from the Luzhou Mansion hurriedly arrived, and were even more shocked when they learned the news of his attack. Song Chen explained everything in the room, and then opened the door to meet with several officials.

Seeing that King Heng was not seriously injured, the prefect of Luzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly complimented: "Your Highness, the ministers have lost their welcome, and they have injured His Highness, which is really a crime that deserves death!" Please condemn your sin! ”

Song Chen raised his hand to signal everyone to be flat, and said lightly: "This king was originally a micro-suit, and those who don't know are not guilty." ”

Everyone was just about to make up their minds, but they heard him say again: "But this king originally thought that Luzhou was a stable place, but today I know that this place is very dangerous." ”

The officials immediately knelt on the ground again.

The prefect of Luzhou is bitter, their place has really been a stable place, the thieves have not happened for many years, but who would have thought that today is so unlucky, this gang of bandits robbed who is not good to grab the head of King Heng, not to mention the loss of their lives, but also involved their group of innocent officials, this is good, in case King Heng returns to Beijing to participate in the court, his official career in the past few decades is in vain.

Thinking of this, the prefect was heartbroken, "Your Highness Mingjian, the land of Luzhou has always been simple and simple, and there has been no bandit for more than ten years......

"Your Excellency means that as soon as this king comes, the bandits will come?" Song Chen asked him rhetorically.

"No, no, no......" The prefect just wanted to deny it, and suddenly thought about it, yes, isn't it that as soon as King Heng comes, such a disaster will happen in his own territory, so in this way, those bandits should be coming for King Heng, which has nothing to do with his Luzhou at all!

The prefect's sad expression just now immediately disappeared, and he turned to raise a very strict face, and said solemnly: "This group of thieves is so bold that they dare to assassinate His Highness, and the ministers will immediately report to the court tonight, and they will definitely catch all the thieves." ”

The bandits have been wiped out by King Heng's own people, the prefect is not ignorant, and whoever dares to assassinate the prince at the moment, the murderer will be in the capital, report to the court, and he can get rid of the responsibility, as for how the court deals with it, it is a matter of the court, and he can't manage it as a small magistrate.

King Heng was attacked here, but the injury was not serious, it is expected that he will not stay for a long time, he just needs to provide people well, and when King Heng leaves, he will soon be relaxed?

The prefect made a calculation in his heart, and continued sincerely: "Your Highness is frightened today, and the minister has transferred three hundred guards to guard the post house, and His Highness can rest at ease. ”

"That's good, there is Lao Zhongqing, tonight, everyone should go back and rest first."

Song Chen's tone was filled with satisfaction, and the state officials finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from the door one after another.

After tossing for half a night, it was already a child when Song Chen returned to the room.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Chu Xue get up from the side of the bed, and came to him in a few steps, she changed her clothes after bathing, but there was still worry in her eyes, she asked softly, "Master, do your hands still hurt?" ”

Seeing her again at this time, there was finally some softness in his eyes, and he raised his uninjured right hand to caress her face, and said softly: "A little injury, it's okay." Why don't you sleep so late? ”

She shook her head, "If the master doesn't come back, the concubine can't sleep...... They have prepared the water, and the concubine will wait for you to bathe. ”

It was the height of summer, and the weather was particularly hot tonight, so he was really tired of being busy so far, so he nodded, "It's okay." ”

She led him to the tub and served him herself. She took great care to undress him, and because his left hand was wounded, and he was unable to move, she rinsed him with water, and he remained silent, watching quietly as she went about and stared at her face.

In the past, he always thought she was obedient, but after today, he realized that she was actually very strong. As a prince and a man, he has experienced many killings in the past 30 years, and he has his own calm truth. But what about her, a little girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, the daughter who grew up in the courtyard of the deep house, has personally experienced the moment of life and death today, and she was not frightened, and at such a critical juncture, she would pounce on herself to block the knife......

He lifted his wet fingers to help her avoid the hair that had slipped on her cheeks, and she looked up slightly and gave him a warm smile.

After bathing and lying on the bed, neither of them could fall asleep immediately, he stretched out his uninjured right hand and took her into his arms, and asked her in a low voice, "Why did you pounce on me in the afternoon, don't you know that it hurts to get a sword into your body?" ”

In the dark, she seemed to chuckle, "The concubine knows, the concubine is afraid of pain, but she is even more afraid that he will hurt the prince." ”

He sighed, "You're so young, what if something happens?" ”

She paused for a moment, and finally burst into tears, "The prince is the husband of the concubine, and the heaven of the concubine, if the prince has any accidents, how will the concubine ......live in the future?"

The soft voice was interrupted by sobs, and her tears wet his front.

After a long time, he lowered his head, kissed away her tears, and then hugged her quietly.

For the first time, there was no ** in her body that wanted to possess her, so she was holding her, as if she was a treasure that would be difficult to find once she was lost in this life. Embrace each other quietly until dawn.

Because his wound still needed to be changed, the next day, they did not continue their journey, but only stayed in the inn.

The prefect of Luzhou came to ask for peace and reported to Song Chen that he had sent his assassinated excerpt to the capital last night, and Song Chen nodded. Luzhou is not far from the capital, and it is estimated that at this hour, the DPRK and the Central Government already know about his attack yesterday, but he was only slightly injured, and some people are probably very disappointed.

Because he still had to change the medicine, the prefect said goodbye after a few simple greetings. It was already noon after changing the medicine, and after lunch, he discussed with Lu Fang and a few people behind closed doors, and when he saw Chu Xue again, it was evening again. He sighed lightly, thinking that he could relax for a few more days, but after yesterday, the curtain has been opened in advance, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be idle in the future.

I slept late last night, and I was not idle all day, and there was still an injury on my hand, Chu Xue felt sorry for Song Chen, and reminded him to rest early, and after dinner, he saw that he was fine, so he ordered someone to prepare water to serve him to bathe. But who knew that he was in good spirits, and even ordered someone to find Zhang Qin and let her stroke the qin, although she was surprised, she didn't talk much, and only chose some distant and quiet tunes to listen to him.

In the dead of night, only the sound of the piano is faint.

Accompanied by wisps of sandalwood, she was playing a song "Resisting the Wind", but the originally quiet window suddenly became noisy, and the noise gradually overshadowed the sound of the piano, and someone seemed to be shouting in the distance, "There is an assassin......

The strings broke in an instant, and Chu Xue was startled.

"Someone assassinated, protect the master!"

"Yes!"

Outside the door was the voice of Lu Fang and Zou Zhen, Chu Xue frowned and looked at Song Chen, her face pale.

Song Chen usually didn't have any expression, but at this time, he made Chu Xue faintly feel a calmness, and when she saw him stretching out his hand to herself, she hurriedly sat down beside him.

Yanling also withdrew, Chu Xue held her breath, held Song Chen's arm tightly, and let the noisy noise outside enter her ears, there were people's shouts and chaotic footsteps in the noise, but only the ping-pong weapons were the most chilling.

Her hands were trembling slightly, Song Chen knew that she was scared, and said comfortingly: "There are a lot of people outside, don't be afraid." ”

She nodded, still silent.

After about half an hour, the noise gradually died down, and it was quiet again in the middle of the night, and Lu Fang came to the door to report, "Master, the assassin has been repulsed. ”

Chu Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Song Chen ask in a deep voice, "How about the dead and injured?" ”

Lu replied: "There are more than 200 people on the other side, more than half of them are dead and wounded, two of us are injured, and Luzhou Mansion also has 100 casualties. ”

Song Chen didn't seem to be surprised, and just gave a simple order, "Pass the prefect of Luzhou." ”

After that, he patted Chu Xue's hand, "It's all over, I'll go out and have a look, you can rest." Then he looked at Yanling again, "Serve the master well." ”

Yan Ling curts, "Yes." ”

Song Chen got up and walked out of the room.

There were two guards outside the room to guard the door, Chu Xue and Yanling came to the bed side of the inner room, Chu Xue didn't sleep well the night before, and when she closed her eyes slightly, it was the picture of Song Chen's blood dripping down, followed by the fire in Yingyue Villa that year, and then she woke up and didn't dare to fall asleep again, so it was inevitable that she would have a headache until now.

She leaned back on the bed and asked Yanling to rub it for her. Yan Ling pressed her head lightly with her fingers and asked softly, "Master, who do you say wants to harm the prince, and it is too bold to stab her one after another." ”

She closed her eyes and sighed, "I don't know. ”

Although she said so, she actually had some guesses in her heart.

Yesterday was attacked on the deserted road, and she suspected that it was a bandit robbery, but tonight, the other party's blatant attack made it clear that it was an assassination, so who wanted to harm Song Chen?

He was a powerful prince, who was so desperate to put him to death?

It's nothing more than whose interests he influences.

Who else could there be?

Chu Xue didn't expect that the royal political struggle she had read about in the book a thousand years later would be experienced by herself after she came back. The scene of the knife approaching yesterday appeared in front of her eyes again, and she was especially afraid.

She has already lost her father, mother, and brother, and she doesn't want to lose him again, so she will instinctively pounce on him at that time, if he is injured and bleeding in front of her, or even die......

She probably didn't have the courage to live.

I don't want to lose my loved ones again in this life.
