Just after Laba, the envoys of Liao, Tubo, and Qiuci who came to congratulate him all received invitations from the prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, inviting the envoys of the three kingdoms to gather at Chunfeng Tower three days later, so that they could participate.

Out of the west of the inner city Liangmen, all the way to the west, close to the West Water Gate Bridge of the Xixia Embassy Pavilion Xiyi is nearby, because there is an urn market execution ground nearby, there are not many people during the day, let alone at night.

At the turn of the day, in the winter night, the north wind blows coldly, and compared with other lively places, the Xixia Pavilion is more quiet around the station.

"Prince, all invitations have been sent, and the envoys from these three countries should come down to ask the prince to be relieved." The lights in the room of the Xixia embassy were on, and a middle-aged man stood respectfully in front of a young man to report.

"Good! The purpose of this meeting was to make friends with the three kingdoms, to sever the alliance of the Uighurs, and to ensure that the Nightfall did not make a comeback. "This young man was dressed in white and black, about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, of medium stature, with a strong body, and a piercing eye, and looked quite heroic, except for the eagle nose on his face, which made his whole face appear resolute and resolute. The person who was called the crown prince was Li Yuanhao, the prince of Western Xia.

"Prince, all the affairs of Chunfeng Building have been arranged, please rest assured, Prince." The man continued to report.

"Lord Yeli, is there a whereabouts of the person you arranged to follow last time?" Another twenty-eight-nine man standing next to Li Yuanhao, the prince of Western Xia, asked. This Lord Yeli was the envoy sent by the Western Xia to the Great Song Dynasty.

"This. I ask the prince to forgive me for my sins, and since that day when Ah Qi lost the man, we sent people to look around, but the man disappeared as if out of thin air, and it was really difficult to find him for a while. Lady Nano ignored the man's question, and replied to the prince rather awkwardly.

The three people in the room were all talking in Tangut language, and no one noticed that there was a person hanging upside down on the roof outside, quietly peering through the small hole in the window of the house.

The sky outside was dark, and a man lying on the roof blended in with the night.

"In that case, Lord Yeli will pay more attention to the man's movements, and if possible, make friends with him as much as possible, and we will go back to the house first." After Li Yuanhao finished speaking, he stood up and called the man next to him who had just asked, "Sunuer, let's go." ”

"Obey the prince's orders, and send the prince to the next official." When Nano heard that the prince was leaving, he hurriedly followed them out of the house.

"Someone", Lord Nayeli was about to raise his voice and call for the guards to carry lanterns, but he caught a glimpse of a bright light piercing through the darkness and stabbing towards the prince quickly.

He looked intently, only to see a man dressed in black and with a black scarf on his face holding a dagger and rushing towards the prince in front of him.

The prince reacted quickly, and as soon as he felt something stabbing him, he leaned sideways to avoid the dagger, and was caught off guard by the dagger on his arm.

"Prince, you're hurt." Lord Yeli on the side was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the sharp dagger had cut the prince's arm with blood, and blood dripped down his arm in an instant.

The person named Sunuer on the side hurriedly moved in front of Li Yuanhao, he didn't bring any weapons, so he hurriedly put his hand to buckle the wrist and arm of the assassin, and shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Dare to stab! ”

The man didn't answer, flipped his wrist, lightly avoided the palm that Sunuer had buckled, and jumped over Sunuer's head with a leap, and at the same time aimed the dagger at the bottom and stabbed.

With this flip and jump, the dagger stabbed down on the top of the prince's head, and the prince was not afraid, and drew the long sword he wore at his waist to block it.

With a "bell", the dagger was blocked by the long sword, and both sides were taken aback, because their weapons were sharpened like clay, a rare blade in the world, and at this moment, only a spark was sparked between the two soldiers, but they failed to cut off the opponent's weapon.

At this time, Lord Nanori had already shouted, "Someone. There were assassins. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and torches instantly surrounded the place from all sides.

The assassin failed to stab the prince with all his might, and when he saw that the guards were all around, he was a little anxious.

Sunuer casually snatched a spear from the hand of a guard, and separated the black-clothed man from the prince with a shake and a stab, some of the guards rushed over to protect the prince to the side, and the other part of the people still surrounded the black-clothed man and Sunuer.

Sunuer was Li Yuanhao's right-hand man, and he was extremely good at working hard immediately, and in just an instant, he splashed a gun so that the water could not enter, but the man in black was forced to be at a loss.

As the saying goes, "an inch is long and an inch is strong, an inch is short and an inch is dangerous", the dagger is a very convenient blade for stabbing closely, if you are against the enemy, it is not enough.

Sunuer saw an opportunity, and stabbed the man in black with a spear, and was about to pierce the assassin, but the prince hurriedly said, "Stay alive." Sunuer's men eased up.

At this time, a soft sword came across the oblique stab, and the tip of the sword was a little bit, and the momentum of the gun was resolved, and the sword was a little bit, and the gun stabbed into the air, and Sunuer looked up, only to see that another black-clothed masked man blocked his attack.

Sunu'er was angry and shouted, "Who are you?" Don't you dare to show your true face when you hide your head and show your tail? ”

The man didn't reply, grabbed the assassin in front of him, and jumped towards the roof.

When Sunur saw that the two men were about to flee, he shouted, "Archer, bring a bow and arrows." Someone handed over an ordinary bow, and someone else brought a few arrows, and Sunuer pulled the bow and arrows, pointing all three arrows at the assassin's back at the same time.

The previous Assassin was quite thin, but he also had weight, and after the rescuer jumped onto the roof with him, he stopped to catch his breath before pulling him out of the wall, when the three arrows were already whizzing towards several parts of the Assassin's body at the same time.

Sunuer's arms were quite strong and his bow and arrows were skillful, and no matter how the assassin dodged at this time, he could not avoid the three arrows that came at the same time, so he had to grit his teeth and try his best to dodge.

At this time, a strong push pushed him, and the assassin was pushed to the side, only to hear the sound of "poof" three times, and the sound of arrows entering the flesh came in turn, and the assassin looked sideways, it turned out that someone pushed him aside and used his body to bear the three arrows, and the black-clothed assassin suddenly shouted, "Alimu." ”。

Naalimu lowered his voice and shouted to the assassin, "Yelia, get out of here. Then he looked pleadingly at the man in black who had saved the assassin Yelia before, and said in a non-fluent Chinese dialect, "Chivalry, please take him away quickly, the people below are chasing him." ”

The man called a chivalrous man looked at Alimu, sighed, nodded, grabbed Yelia who wanted to pull Alimu, and said in a dumb voice, "Let's go, it's too late to save him, otherwise we won't have to go." ”

That night, Leah's eyes flashed with tears, and after a moment's hesitation, she said to Alimu, "You wait for me, and I will come to save you." With that, he and the masked man in black jumped out of the wall, and in a few flashes they had already disappeared into the darkness.

When Sunuer saw the man fleeing, he angrily threw away his bow and arrows, and ordered, "Bring that person down and interrogate him properly." ”

Someone below had already gone up to the roof, restrained the man who had been shot, and carried him down.

Sunuer walked up to the prince to check his injuries, and saw that the wound was not deep, and the wound had not turned black, showing that the assassin had not quenched the poison on the dagger, so he put down his heart and secretly said that the assassin must be a novice.

He bowed his head and pleaded, "Prince, the assassin has fled, and only the assassin's accomplice has been caught. ”

Li Yuanhao let the man on the side bandage that arm, looked at the direction of the assassin's escape, and said, "It's okay, the assassin is not successful this time, he will come soon, we just need to make careful arrangements." ”
