Chapter Seventy-Two: The Fox Wolf Tattoo

Although the snow has begun to melt, the road surface is still a little slippery. Coupled with the queen's noble status, she inevitably slipped and injured herself, so she walked a little slowly. But Fang Xiaoyu still found something unusual.

It's so quiet.

Although there are many roads to the solemn temple from this Baoxiang Mountain, there will inevitably be a meeting at a certain time, but she took people all the way, almost half of the mountain road, and so far she has not met a person.

I dare not say that there is no such situation in the history of Zhuangyan Temple, but the probability is too small. It's as if someone deliberately controlled the route of the maze and isolated them from everyone.

At first, Fang Xiaoyu thought that this was the emperor's test of her, so she paid attention to the emperor's expression along the way, wanting to see if she could reveal some important information, but she found that the emperor's brows also frowned from time to time, and seemed to have found that something was wrong, and she also looked at her from time to time, with inquiry in her eyes.

"The emperor and queen are careful, something is wrong." Fang Jianzhang has been wandering the battlefield all year round, and his perception of danger is very strong, and his eyelids have been jumping since just now, as if the feeling of being stared at by something has been pressing on him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Fang Haozhi pulled Fang Xiaoyu's hand tightly, and seemed to feel the unusual atmosphere.

Fang Xiaoyu observed the terrain of the four places below, there were many scattered boulders, surrounded by trees, which were very easy to hide.

She exchanged glances with Fang Jianzhang, then took a step back, just in front of the emperor and empress and Ye Xinrou and said, "I'm afraid there is an ambush, be careful." ”

Ye Xinrou is also good at kung fu, although she is not as demonic as Fang Xiaoyu, but it is not cumbersome.

The emperor has to learn martial arts riding and archery since he was a child, maybe the people don't know, but the courtiers know that the emperor is also a master of martial arts.

The only one who doesn't know martial arts is the queen, and even Fang Haozhi has achieved a little success under Fang Xiaoyu's hell training.

The wind seemed to be a little noisy, and a strong sound of breaking the air came in an instant. The target was directed at Fang Jianzhang. Fang Jianzhang's five senses are so powerful, and because of the exercises given to him by Fang Xiaoyu before, his martial arts have also made great progress, and he dodged the secret nail of the sneak attack in a blink of an eye. Then he flew towards the spot where the sneaker was hiding.

It seems that because of the start of the battle, the originally quiet woods suddenly have the breath of many people. The five senses of a warrior are usually stronger than those of ordinary people, and they all have a sense of whether someone is in ambush.

These people have learned exercises similar to those of the breath, and coupled with the strong wind, they even hid Fang Xiao's words. But. Once one person is exposed, the breath of the others will have some influence to a greater or lesser extent, and under the meditation and induction, Fang Xiaoyu found a lot of ambushes, and the number of people was as many as a dozen.

"Princess, queen mother, borrow a hairpin." Fang Xiaoyu pulled off the only hairpin on his head, and then set the target on Queen Ye Xinrou again.

Ye Xinrou knew that Fang Xiaoyu's secret weapon kung fu was very good, so she pulled out the hairpin without hesitation and handed it to Fang Xiaoyu's hand. And the queen glanced at Fang Xiaoyu, remembering what the emperor said to him, and also handed over a few hairpins to Fang Xiaoyu.

Fang Xiaoyu observed the surroundings and determined the location of several killers in ambush, and seeing that Fang Jianzhang had already killed one person, he immediately said, "Daddy, behind the boulder on the left in front." ”

After hearing this, Fang Jianzhang rushed straight forward without hesitation, and no one knew how terrifying Fang Xiaoyu's martial arts were better than him. If you don't want to expose your hole cards, this dozen people can solve it with a smile. But she didn't want the emperor to know how powerful her martial arts were. She didn't plan to hide her martial arts skills. After all, she is the general's daughter, and it is understandable that she can order knives, guns and sticks, but if her martial arts are still above Fang Jianzhang, how can you explain it?

"Behind the stout tree on the right." Fang Xiaoyu told Fang Jianzhang the location of the killer who was hiding one by one. And Fang Jianzhang was like a sharp sword, harvesting the killer's life one by one along the direction pointed out by Fang Xiaoyu.

And everyone didn't seem to notice that when Fang Jianzhang killed the assassin, someone behind Fang Xiaoyu and the others was slowly approaching. Like a venomous snake waiting for an opportunity, he aimed at the emperor with a calm face.

Closer, closer.

The killer is neither sad nor happy in his heart. There weren't even any emotional fluctuations. For him, the prey is a qiē, and everything he does is to capture the prey, whether it is life or death.

When the emperor's eyes were attracted by Fang Jianzhang, the killer instantly flew out, the sharp dagger was even colder against the snow, and the desire to suck blood stabbed straight away with endless sharpness.

The expected blood splattered but seemed to be a little different. He didn't know what the difference was, or rather, he didn't have time to know.

The strength in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the dagger fell on the thick snow, reflecting the killer's shocked and twisted face, and a wooden hairpin at his throat was dripping with blood, heralding the death of a life.

Careless.

They had already done an investigation, and among these people, only Fang Jianzhang and the emperor had the force, and a few female dependents and children were not to worry at all. That's why they dispatched the dead soldiers to deliberately ambush and deliberately expose flaws, just to divert the tiger away from the mountain, let Fang Jianzhang stay away from the emperor, and then let him carry out the killing, but, after thousands of calculations, he did not calculate that the highest force value among these people was not Fang Jianzhang, but Fang Xiaoyu. He didn't expect that Fang Xiaoyu's five senses were extremely powerful, and the secret weapon kung fu had reached the point where flying flowers and bamboo leaves could be used as sharp weapons, and a hairpin pierced his throat in an instant, but he had already died before he had even a little room to react.

Fang Xiaoyu also secretly said that it was dangerous. The kung fu of this killer who sneaked up from behind was quite good, and the light skill also belonged to the fluttering one, coming and going silently, even Fang Xiaoyu's powerful five senses were almost blinded.

However, Fang Xiaoyu felt suspicious.

She reported the location of the killers to Fang Jianzhang one by one, and Fang Jianzhang also killed these killers one by one, according to the explanation, knowing the location was exposed, it was better to attack in groups, at least than to be broken by each one, but these killers did not move at all, and seemed to be completely indifferent to the killing of their companions.

This situation is a bit weird.

The exercises practiced by these killers seem to be uniform, and the breath can also cooperate with each other, it is said that this kind of person is extremely difficult to train, and should not be so dull, then the only explanation is that there are after-moves.

Fang Xiaoyu withdrew his mind from Fang Jianzhang's body and concentrated on sensing his surroundings, but his eyes were still on the place where Fang Jianzhang was to paralyze the enemy.

And when the enemy is ready to move, the breath leaks at the moment. Fang Xiaoyu quickly turned around with a rare speed, and the hairpin in his hand had already flown out and inserted into the enemy's throat.

The emperor's expression was unusually calm when he faced the killer, after all, he was a high-ranking person, and his majesty could not be shattered by a few killers.

Moreover. When the emperor travels, how can he be left unprotected? These people just secretly hid and followed, and they did not escape Fang Xiaoyu's eyes from beginning to end. It's just that Fang Xiaoyu doesn't want to debunk it, even if she doesn't do it, the emperor will never be in any danger to his life.

And she did a qiē. It's just to win the emperor's trust.

Xu knew that the sneak attacker had been killed, and the other killers were no longer hiding, and they jumped out of their hiding places one after another and besieged Fang Jianzhang, as if they were determined to bring someone to the funeral.

But although the ideal is good, it is no match for the gap in strength, Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and the hairpin in his hand harvested a few lives, and these killers had fallen half of them before they got close to Fang Jianzhang.

The remaining half in Fang Jianzhang's hands was just a few lives to be killed, for the great generals who looked down on the battlefield. Such an assassination is simply pediatric and not worth the show.

It's just that Fang Xiaoyu felt a little disobedient. From beginning to end, she felt that things were strange.

Except for the sneak attacker who was nailed to death by him with a hairpin, the others seemed to be acting like a farce, too confusing, making Fang Xiaoyu feel a very incongruous feeling.

"I never thought that your kung fu would be so outstanding." The Emperor glanced deeply at Fang Xiaoyu.

Fang Xiaoyu's heart jumped suddenly, and then he said quietly: "Because my father is a military general, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I have also learned a few kung fu skills of a three-legged cat. It's just that women are naturally not as strong as men. Those knives and guns were a little difficult to use, and although they tried their best to practice, they were not as smooth as those used by my father. So the folk girl asked for a trick and practiced the kung fu of hidden weapons. Lightweight and flexible, very flexible, suitable for women's cultivation. ”

The emperor nodded, and said in agreement: "Whether it is useless or not, those who can kill the enemy are good kung fu." Tiger father and no dog girl, you are very good. ”

"Thank you for your praise." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and saluted. The appropriate expression showed the feeling of wanting to laugh and trying to hold back after being praised by the emperor, which made the emperor smile a little more.

Fang Jianzhang felt around the corpses of those killers in the distance, not knowing what he was looking for, and it didn't take long for him to drag a corpse to the emperor and say, "Your Majesty, the killers have all been killed." ”

"Aiqing has worked hard." The emperor smiled, as if he had not experienced Fang Cai's assassination.

"Who are these people? Why does it appear on this Baoxiang Mountain? And their purpose seems to be the emperor. The queen's face was gloomy. Although I knew from beginning to end that there would be no danger, it was really uncomfortable to be treated as a prey.

"Your Majesty, these people are not great heirs." At this time, Fang Jianzhang's words were astonishing.

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes narrowed, and the momentum on his body suddenly unfolded, and he no longer had the same composure as before.

If these people were sent by some unruly to assassinate him, he really didn't pay much attention to it. As an emperor, he has the majesty of the emperor, even when the sky falls, he must be calm and comfortable, and there is no one who can make him look scared.

However, if these people are not great inheritors, but foreign enemies, doesn't that show that the security of this capital is really worrisome, and they let people go in and out at will as if they were in a no-man's land, and they can ambush him, the king of a country, in Baoxiang Mountain, will they simply let them go to the palace to assassinate him next time?

"Your Majesty, you see, these people have a piece of skin of a slightly different color on their waists, which was sewn on the day after tomorrow. Removing this piece of skin is enough to prove that they are not the heirs. Fang Jianzhang was very skillful in removing the differently colored skin on the killer's waist, revealing another piece of skin. A piece of skin with a tattoo like a fox and a wolf.

"...... this?" The emperor's face was gloomy again.

"It's a fox wolf's tattoo. It is a tattoo peculiar to the people of the fox wolf steppe. Fang Jianzhang replied.

"Fox wolf tattoo?" Ye Xinrou asked suspiciously. Although her influence is all over the palace, and even the minister's family has a lot of her secret chess, but she knows very little about places other than Dacheng.

"The fox wolf is an animal, cunning as a fox but as fierce as a wolf, so it is called a fox wolf, they only operate in the fox wolf grassland to the west of the Dayu Dynasty, and are offered as a mythical beast by the people of the fox wolf grassland." Fang Jianzhang explained.

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered a book she had read, so she said: "I once read a travelogue that said that a person from the fox wolf grassland would tattoo a fox wolf tattoo on a certain place on his body since he was born to prove his identity as a fox wolf grassland person. Could it be them? ”

Fang Jianzhang nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as they are born, the old man will tattoo a fox wolf on a certain part of their body to prove the identity of the grassland people. Not only that, their tattoos are made in a special way, and outsiders can't imitate them at all, even if someone finds someone to tattoo a fox wolf tattoo that is exactly the same as them, they can still easily distinguish the authenticity from the fake in their hands. And they used to lay a lot of spies in Beiyanbu, and they also used a piece of skin of similar color and sewn it with special means to cover the tattoos. In addition, their appearance is very similar to that of the Great Inheritor, so it is very easy to be fooled by them. ”

"Although the fox wolf grassland is west of the Dayu Dynasty, it does not belong to the Dayu Dynasty. They became independent kings, did not obey the command of any country, and lived an almost savage life. Although the fox wolf grassland is vast, but the population is scarce, the conditions are also difficult, and it has never had much contact with other countries, but in recent years, it has frequently concealed its identity and sent people to me to undertake it, what is the purpose? The emperor's brows furrowed.

In the past, he took Fang Jianzhang's excerpt, and he mentioned this in it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the difference in national strength between the fox wolf grassland and Dacheng's was there. Therefore, he only thought that the fox wolf grassland was afraid that a big country like Dacheng would covet them, so he sent someone to understand the situation in Dacheng.

At that time, he felt that there must be more than Dacheng, and several other countries should also have such spies among them.

However, now that there are people from the fox wolf grassland ambushing him on Baoxiang Mountain to assassinate him, this is not just a matter of defense, this is simply a provocation. A provocation to the majesty of a great power, to the dignity of the emperor. (To be continued.) )
