Chapter 11: A Moonlit Night
In the evening, in a small inn on the outskirts of Yuecheng, Xiao Er walked out of the back kitchen with porridge and side dishes.
"Shopkeeper, this is sent to the A-shaped room to the son who broke his leg?"
"Shhhh Hush! Hush! Be quiet, don't make a noise about this, don't you see the blood on their swords, be careful of your life! ”
The shopkeeper was settling the accounts, and when he heard the child talking loudly about the son who had broken his leg, he immediately blushed and jumped to his feet in a hurry, this morning, as soon as he opened the door of the shop, two guard-like people broke in with a young nobleman, and threatened him with a sword, saying that if someone came to ask, he would treat it as if he hadn't seen it, and he would also have some clean cloth and hot water and other things, and then threw off a small bag of gold and went upstairs, and saw that the boy not only had a broken leg, but also a wound on his abdomen that was soaking blood, and the two guard-like people were also covered with colors, The shopkeeper knew at the moment that it was not a good thing, but he had to agree to the coercion of the sword.
The shopkeeper looked at the weather in the evening, it was still so sunny, the sunset was so clear, there was not even a piece of clouds, and soon the wind rose, and the door of the inn was blowing and the door was hula and hula, and the shopkeeper was disturbed by the sound of the wind, and felt that no one would come to stay today, so he asked Xiao Er to close the door tightly.
Not far from Moon City, Huo Ling was already sorting out the things in the carriage and saw the unfinished chess game.
"Heizi is the prince of Yujue, and Baizi is the second brother, I will remember it for you."
Huo Ling said, pulling out the silk handkerchief in his arms and covering it on the chessboard.
At this moment, the pride of the carriage was instantly impacted, Huo Ling's back to the left was about to hit the wall of the carriage, Yu Jue's eyes were fast, and she immediately dragged Huo Ling, she smashed into Yu Jue's arms, Yu Jue snorted and hugged Huo Ling and smashed the frame on the left, Huo Xun grabbed the frame on the right side of the carriage, and the next moment, a sword grazed Huo Ling's waist through the carriage's sedan body, and the other sword slashed the frame, only an inch away from Huo Xun's hand holding the frame.
The chess pieces on the chessboard on the low table were scattered everywhere, and the sunspots seemed to bury the light of the white children in the slightly dim light, scattered in more conspicuous corners.
There was a sound of fighting outside, Huo Xun didn't say a word, pulled out his sword, and went outside, only to see that the guards of honor outside had already fought with a group of masked black-clothed people, the black-clothed men were obviously well-trained dead soldiers, and the moves were fatal, Huo Xun rushed forward, after all, he had been experienced in a hundred battles, and it was effortless to deal with these black-clothed people, he always paid attention to the moves of the black-clothed people, these black-clothed people, although the knives and knives were all deadly tricks, but they deliberately took a point, obviously, they didn't want to take his life, so who is it, And why did you sneak attack the honor guard?
Huo Ling bit her lower lip, she was in Yu Jue's arms at this time, she was very nervous but not because of the chaotic fight, Yu Jue, was he protecting her?
Another sword passed through the sedan body, straight at Huo Ling's eyebrows, Yu Jue turned sideways, and the sword body slashed through his right arm.
Huo Ling reacted and grabbed Yu Jue's arm.
"You care about me!"
She smiled happily.
"We can't stay in there, we need to get out!"
Yu Jue and Huo Ling spoke almost at the same time, and Yu Jue was a little surprised when she heard Huo Ling's words, this Princess Jingyue, what was she still thinking about when the catastrophe came.
Yu Jue dragged Huo Ling to jump out of the carriage, Huo Xun turned sideways and saw Yu Jue drawing his sword and standing beside Huo Ling to block the black-clothed people who attacked them, he had just been entangled by a black-clothed person, so that if he didn't pay attention to it, someone attacked the carriage, these black-clothed people didn't mean to kill him, and they couldn't think of any reason to put Huo Ling to death.
Huo Ling was dragged by Yu Jue, dodging the attacking sword, and her eyes never left Yu Jue.
"My heart is happy, Xu Junxin, ask Junxi, what can I do?"
She stared at Yu Jue and asked him out loud jokingly.
"Princess, now is not the time for you to read a little poem!"
Yu Jue pierced the body of a man in black with a sword, and blood splattered all over his body, even seeing Huo Ling's dress.
"Looks like you've read my little poem!"
Huo Ling said affirmatively.
“…”
Yu Jue didn't answer again, and killed another man in black.
All of a sudden, Huo Xun dragged Huo Ling behind him.
"Second brother!"
Huo Ling shouted with a little dissatisfaction.
Yu Jue glanced at Huo Xun, he knew that Huo Xun must have guessed that these black-clothed people were all coming at him, a trace of an inconspicuous smile crossed the corner of his mouth, like mockery, but he didn't know who the object of mockery was, not far away, Wei Budo had killed a lot of black-clothed people came to Yu Jue's side, suddenly, a string of fire beams scurried up in the forest on the other side of the road, and the black-clothed people who surrounded him saw the firelight and quickly retreated, leaving a mess all over the ground.
"Hmph, Prince Yu'er is too much, when the prince and Yan Guo's honor guard go to Changyi to assassinate the prince, you are not afraid of hurting the second prince and Princess Jingyue, and you can't explain to Yan Guo!"
Wei Budo looked at the figure of the man in black who had withdrawn, grabbed his robe and touched the blood droplets splashed on his face, and said indignantly.
"It's really coming for you!"
Huo Xun walked to the opposite side of Yu Jue and said with some impatience.
Yu Jue hurriedly saluted Huo Xun, "I'm making trouble for the prince......
Huo Ling's heart didn't know where it had gone, and when she saw that most of the corpses of the people in black were everywhere, but the soldiers of the honor guard were also killed and wounded, she was a little angry, these were two different things, but she faintly felt a little strange, but she couldn't think of anything.
After the marching team was straightened out, Huo Xun sent a few people to pull the dead and wounded soldiers back to Dashi, and he was ready to take the rest of the people to continue marching towards Changyi, not far from the birthday of Princess Xinwu, and he had to hurry up.
"Second prince, there is an inn not far away, and according to the estimation of his subordinates, it is just enough for our men and horses to rest."
The soldiers sent by Huo Xun to explore the way returned.
Huo Xun thought about it, although he was almost in Yuecheng, there was still a long way to go, after the fight just now, everyone was tired, it was better to settle here, those people would not attack again in the short term, they suffered more casualties, and they also needed to rest.
"Ah Cai, Ah Cai!"
In that inn, the shopkeeper shouted loudly to Xiao Er, who was making a fire and making water in the backyard.
"Eh, eh, don't worry, shopkeeper, come here."
Xiao'er nodded and ran out, although this inn is big but there are few guests, a huge inn is just the two of them, the shopkeeper is old, sometimes he feels scared and nothing, he wants to pull him to talk and chat, this is not, he put down what he is doing and came over, the water is almost open, and after a while, the guards in the A room are called hot water, and they will not neglect them.
"Ah Cai, have you heard it, it seems that there is a herd of horses' hooves."
"Hmmm! If you hear it, maybe it's a group of passers-by who are walking at night..."
The people in the room also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was Cheng Yi who was lying on the bed, he endured the pain and got up, his eyes gestured to a guard beside him, the guard nodded, and blew out the candle... I'm afraid it's going to be another sleepless night tonight...
