The sky was overcast, and the blackened clouds were low and oppressive.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder "boomed" in the sky, and a white light of lightning hit the road, making the stones on the entire road glow in an instant.

After the thunder and lightning, the raindrops the size of beans fell and hit the carriage with a loud crackling sound.

But the carriage that Ruoyun and his party were sitting in didn't move, just stopped quietly in the heavy rain, very quiet, which made people feel weird.

I saw in the distance, a few black dots came from afar, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Slowly, these black spots enlarged, and it became clear that these were some people in black wearing black clothes, black pants, and even black hoods on their heads.

After they saw Ruoyun's carriage parked there, they were not surprised, but moved in a uniform position two hundred meters away from the carriage, stopped their figures, lined up, and blocked the entire road.

The man in black didn't move after that, and he stood there quietly, confronting Ruoyun's carriage.

It's just that the heavy murderous aura emanating from the bodies of these black-clothed people can't be concealed, and through the silky rain curtain, it shoots straight into Ruoyun's carriage.

There was another rumbling thunder, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the place where the men in black were standing as if it were day.

At the moment when the lightning disappeared, the black-clothed people moved, their momentum was like a rainbow, and the long sword in their hands pointed directly at the carriage where Ruoyun was, and came with a deadly momentum.

At this moment, there were two coquettish cheers on the carriage, and I saw two slender figures flying out of the carriage, and then stood five meters in front of the carriage, pointing at the black-clothed people with their swords.

After drawing their own swords from the carriage, Winter Red and Winter Blue flew out, stopped five meters in front of the carriage, observed the situation of the killer on the opposite side, and then rushed forward with their swords raised.

Since the two of them practiced martial arts, they have actually been quite smooth, when Fuyuan was attacked many years ago, they had just arrived in Fuyuan at that time and had not yet left the school, so they could only hide in the courtyard and follow Hong Xiaofei to use hidden weapons.

Then, following Ruoyun has been smooth, except for the last time Donglan fought with a man in black at the old lady's birthday banquet, he has not experienced any major fight scenes.

The battle in front of them was the first time they had fought against so many people, and they were inevitably nervous, but thinking that there were their own girls and Lei Sange watching behind them, they didn't have any worries, and they could rest assured that they could give it a go.

No wonder Lei Laosan said that this idea is a bit hard, this batch of killers who came this time are really unusual, they are not only strong in martial arts, deep in internal strength, but also very experienced, there are no fancy moves between shots, and the moves are all life-threatening postures.

Dong Hong and Dong Lan seem to be some rookies in front of them, although the two of them have the advanced exercises and swords given by Ruoyun, they don't know how much better than those killers in terms of exercises and weapons, but the experience is hard!

Seeing the current situation, if one or two killers were pulled out to fight them alone, maybe they would be able to cope with it, but now they are besieged by these dozen or so professional killers who cooperate tacitly and attack and defend in an orderly manner, and the two are not only in a hurry.

Although the two of them worked very hard, the two of them couldn't stop these killers at all.

They were besieged by five or six people and couldn't spare their hands, and the remaining five or six people had already hurried towards the carriage, aiming at Ruoyun in the carriage.

Dong Hong and Dong Lan saw that a killer broke through their barrier and went towards their own girl, and they were a little anxious, this hurry revealed a flaw, and Dong Hong was directly stabbed in the arm by a killer's long sword.

"Ahh Donghong screamed, and then watched as the killer's longsword took a handful of blood from her arm.

Ruoyun not only frowned, but was a little anxious in her heart, she wanted Dong Hong and Dong Lan to practice their hands, but she didn't want them to get hurt, and it depended on the situation, and now this situation is obviously not suitable for hand training.

I don't know who wants to kill her, this person doesn't seem to be simple, there is such a powerful group of killers in his hands, it is obvious that the iron-blooded momentum on their bodies is not something that can be practiced by killing one and a half people at all.

Seeing that Dong Hong was injured and several killers were already coming at her, Ruoyun didn't want to wait any longer, and with a pinch of the law in his hand, he wanted to end the battle early.

was about to cast a spell, but suddenly felt something, frowned, the magic in his hand dispersed, and at the same time he pressed Lei Laosan, who was already planning to make a move.

"Girl, what are you?" Lei Laosan was not only a little surprised when he was stopped by Ruoyun.

"Someone's coming!" Ruoyun pointed in his hand, and then saw an arrow feather breaking through the air in mid-air, and there was no weakening momentum in the heavy rain.

The arrow went straight into the back of the heart of a killer who was fighting Dong Hong, and the killer fell to the ground with no breath.

These killers were well-trained, and after their teammates were wiped out by an arrow from afar, they didn't pause in the slightest, and someone directly filled his position and continued to attack Donghong, as if it was not his comrade who died, but a wild dog on the side of the road.

However, a rain of arrows flew one after another, and finally disrupted the killer's attack, and they had to send people to defend against the arrows behind them, and the attacked Winter Red and Winter Blue were able to breathe.

At this time, everyone saw more than a dozen horsemen in the distance, dressed as knights served by the Great Chu guards, galloping on horseback.

The leader was dressed in a robe, with a hat, although it was in the heavy rain, but there was no wolf bèi, still as handsome as a fairy, at this time with a concerned and determined gaze on his face, he raised his hand to direct the guards behind him to fight those killers.

"Hey, girl, isn't this the second prince who came to announce the decree last time, why will he come to help now?" Lei Laosan sat on the wheel and looked at the two groups of people who were fighting together.

"It's really King Ping, I just don't know why he brought someone here!" Ruoyun nodded.

"Shall we still do it now?"

"No need, it seems that it's okay if we don't make a move, it's better not to show your skills now!"

"Okay, I'll listen to the girl!" Lei Lao said loudly.

Sure enough, as Ruoyun expected, although after a difficult fight, but because King Ping's people plus Dong Hong and Dong Lan two, there were several more people than the killers, and King Ping also arranged archers in the distance, with the cooperation of the archers, these killers finally retreated, but also lost a few lives.

However, these killers are very well-trained, and when they left, they desperately took away the bodies of their teammates, so as not to leave clues for Ruoyun and them!

King Ping's people chased for a while, but they didn't catch up, and they were afraid that they would fall for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so they stopped chasing.

Ruoyun looked at the killers who fled and felt a little pity in her heart, if King Ping didn't come, after she caught these people, she could use the soul search technique to search for their souls, so that she might be able to know who was behind the scenes.

But at this time, because of King Ping's sudden insertion, Ruoyun couldn't make a move in order to hide his skills, so he could only watch these people escape.

"It's the county lord of Anyang, are you okay?" While King Ping sent people to clean up the battlefield, he walked to the carriage and was surprised to see Ruoyun.

"Thank you King Ping for saving me, I'm fine, I'm just a little frightened!"

Ruoyun got out of the car and gave a salute to King Ping, although she didn't need King Ping to meddle at all, but after all, people were kind enough to save him, and two of his subordinates were injured very badly, so Ruoyun thanked them even if she was making a show.

"The county lord of Anyang is polite, it's just that these killers are well-trained and extremely ruthless, I don't know what the county lord provoked to attract this group of outlaws!" King Ping said with a concerned face.

"I don't know, today I just went to Huangming Temple to worship the Buddha, and on the way back to the city, these people suddenly attacked!" Ruoyun frowned, and his face was also distressed.

"Then the county lord should go back and tell the old man about this matter, and let the old man investigate it in detail, so as not to have any worries!" King Ping said.

"Yes, thank you for the reminder!" Ruoyun said.

"It's okay, although the county lord's girl is extraordinary, but after all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and if you want to go out in the future, you still have to bring more guards from the house!" King Ping admonished with a look of concern on his face.

"Yes, thank you King Ping, I was careless!" Ruoyun's ability to bring guards is actually cumbersome, so she usually goes out without a guard.

"Since the county is going to return to the city, why don't I give you a ride, in case those killers go and return, it's not good!" King Ping was very considerate of Ruoyun.

"Isn't this too troublesome for King Ping, I don't know if King Ping still has important things to deal with!" If the clouds are so difficult.

"Hehe, what important things can I deal with as an idler, today I just saw that the weather was good and went out of the city to hunt, who knew that the sky suddenly changed, and when I returned I saw someone attacking your carriage, just today with a bow and arrow, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with these people!" The second prince smiled and pointed to the back of the horse, where there were also a few rabbits, pheasants and other things, which should be hunted prey.

"In this way, it is really Ruoyun's luck, I happened to meet King Ping passing by, otherwise Ruoyun is afraid that it will be more auspicious today!" Ruoyun said with a happy face.

"My husband used to be my teacher, I have never seen anyone outside the Dingguo Mansion, you don't have to be so polite to me, it just so happens that the rain is decreasing, and your girl is injured again, you hurry up and get in the car, let's go back to the city!" King Ping said to Ruoyun with a smile.

His smile is very similar to Chu Ziheng's smile when he was young, it is the kind of pure and bright smile, which can infect your heart unconsciously.

And now Chu Ziheng has experienced some hardships, because of martial arts training, his figure and face are hard, and his smile also has some cool taste, but he is not as innocent as when he was a child.

Looking at King Ping's smile, a person with concentration like Ruoyun had a trace of warmth and brightness in his heart driven by him for a moment, and not only sighed in his heart: "The charm of this King Ping is really great, if an ordinary woman saw him like this, with this life-saving grace, it is estimated that she would have sunk into this smile a long time ago, no wonder Bai Ruoyu has been thinking about this King Ping!" ”

"Okay, thank you King Ping!"

"Hehe, didn't I say it a long time ago, don't want King Ping, King Ping, everyone who is called is born, you can call me Ziqing directly, or you can call me Brother Ziqing when I am a few years old!" King Ping personally opened the curtain for Ruoyun as he spoke, and let her get into the car.

"Okay, then I'll trespass and call you Brother Ziqing!" Ruoyun said with a smile.

"The best! Sit down, let's go! When King Ping heard Ruoyun call him by his name, his heart seemed to be very happy, and his face became happy.

After Ruoyun sat down in the car, the second prince got on the horse and commanded the guards to escort Ruoyun's carriage to the city.

In the carriage, Dong Lan treated Dong Hong's wound, there is Ruoyun's good medicine, Dong Hong's wound is nothing at all, but the taste is hidden from people's eyes, and it is still well bandaged.

Donglan also suffered some minor injuries, but it was not in the way, just a simple application of some medicine.

However, the three of them did not speak, because there were guards of the second prince outside, and they had to be careful that the partition wall had ears.

After all, Ruoyun felt that something was a little strange about this matter today, why did King Ping appear every time she was in danger?

Last time in King Zhao's Mansion, King Zhao wanted to frame her, King Ping hurriedly ran over to inform her, and even did not hesitate to expose his kung fu in front of her.

This time is also here, when there is an attack on the road, King Ping shows up to save him, as if King Ping is very concerned about her, and every time he can know that she will be in trouble!

If it is an ordinary woman, in front of such a noble identity and such a charming demeanor of King Ping, she may feel that this is a kind of fate between her and King Ping, and she will be very moved, and she may be happy with King Ping.

But if Yun won't, not to mention that she is very firm in her heart for Chu Ziheng, even the things she has experienced and learned in her past and present lives will not make her casually infatuated with a man who has only met a few times-

The summer rain came and went quickly, and when I arrived at the city gate along the way, the heavy rain had stopped, although it was already evening, but the sky still revealed the red and red fiery clouds, and the whole earth was reflected red with a trace of beautiful ambiguous feeling.

King Ping kept sending Ruoyun and his party back to the gate of the Dingguo Mansion before leaving. Ruoyun invited him in to stay for dinner, but he said that it was too late and he would get together another day, and Ruoyun had to thank him again before leaving-

At night, in a quiet courtyard, flowers are also planted in front of the door, but these flowers are not really seen at night, and they are not as delicate as during the day, which also casts an indescribable and obscure atmosphere over the house.

A black figure quickly entered the room, and then knelt down on one knee and said, "Meet the master!" ”

The person who was called the master was still hidden in the shadows, he turned his back, and he didn't know what his expression was, but he said in a low voice: "There is a smell of blood, are you injured?" ”

"Yes, master!"

"Oh, it seems that Bai Ruoyun is not ordinary, there are only four of them, they can make you hurt, it seems that I guessed well!" There was a hint of joy in the master's voice.

But the kneeling black man was stunned when he heard this, and his voice trembled a little: "Bai, Bai Ruoyun didn't make a move, she was rescued!" ”

"What? It didn't work out again! The master seemed to be angry, and the kneeling man in black only felt a strong wind coming, knocking him out and hitting the wall.

The injured arm of the man in black, which had been bandaged, had been hit this time, and the blood had oozed out and flowed to the ground.

However, he did not dare to say anything or cover his wounds, and struggled to get up from the ground and continue to kneel on the ground, ignoring the blood on the ground.

The master vented, as if his anger had subsided a little, and asked, "Who saved her, and who dared to harm me!" ”

"Yes, yes, King Ping!" The man in black on the ground said the name in a trembling voice.

"King Ping, the second prince! It turned out to be him! This fool has done me a good thing, and I must not let him have a good time! ”

The master slapped his palm on the teacup in his hand, and the teacup instantly turned into powder, but the table under the teacup was intact, and it seemed that this person's ability to control his power had reached a state of supernatural power.

The next day, a generous gift was prepared in the Dingguo Mansion and sent to the palace King Ping's mother, Concubine Shufei Niangniang, to show her gratitude.

Ruoyun came back yesterday and told the old man in detail, and the old man also analyzed the two with Ruoyun for a long time, but found that there was really no specific person, and it was a target that could be suspected.

After all, Ruoyun has been very low-key over the years, and he has basically not had any trouble with anyone except the Sun family.

However, they first excluded the old lady and the Sun family.

Although the old lady and the Sun family didn't like Ruoyun, it was absolutely impossible for them to send such a killer lineup to kill Ruoyun.

Because they have no financial resources, and they have no manpower.

If they had such a powerful ability, Sun Zude would not have been locked up in prison for so long.

Now that Sun Zude has suffered this catastrophe, he has spent an arm and a leg, and he is already paralyzed at home, and he can't afford any wind and waves at all.

The old lady was worried about a lot of wrinkles on her well-maintained face every day in order to seek medical advice for Sun Zude, and they didn't dare to mess with Ruoyun now.

Secondly, King Ping was also excluded, and at first Ruoyun thought that he also had the intention of competing for the throne.

Because of the power of the Dingguo Mansion and the Anyang Hou Mansion, as well as Ruoyun's financial resources, he deliberately made this bureau like Ruoyun.

But later, when I thought back to the whole thing, I realized that it was not King Ping's doing.

Because when King Ping and King Ping's subordinates killed those killers, there was no softness at all, if those people were really sent by King Ping, then he was either too hard-hearted or too perverted to do it to his subordinates.

But according to King Ping's usual style, he shouldn't be such a person, and there are many ways to curry favor with Ruoyun, and there is no need for such a bloody method.

He brutalized his subordinates like this, even if he could please Ruoyun, it would hurt the hearts of those subordinates who followed him, so that those who did things with him would have scruples and would not be so loyal, which was the last thing a superior with a brain would do.

And King Ping is a very smart person, so he definitely won't do this.

Besides, they had also considered the people from the queen and the eldest prince's side, but now Ruoyun didn't actually pose any threat to them.

If Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng get married, they still have some motives for killing Ruoyun.

However, now the relationship between Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng is in the dark, and their faction seems to want to win over the Dingguo Mansion and the Anyang Marquis Mansion, so it is estimated that they will not take the risk of doing something to Ruoyun.

After all, if something happens, then they will definitely be standing in the opposite side of the Dingguo Mansion and the Anyang Marquis Mansion, which is very unfavorable to them.

The rest is the person who killed the Fengtian master on that hellish island back then, and Ruoyun also thinks that it is more likely to be someone over there.

Because all these years have passed, since she destroyed that island, the people over there seem to have disappeared, and there has been no movement in these years.

Ruoyun always felt that the other party would never just give up, because she was in the light and the other party was in the dark, so she felt that the other party must be in the dark to deal with her.

If it was those people who sent it this time, Ruoyun would have felt relieved.

She just wanted the other party to reveal her identity as soon as possible, so that she could solve them as soon as possible, and the province had been thinking about this matter in her heart, so that she was worried about the safety of the people around her-

Ruoyun originally thought that the matter of King Ping saving her that day had come to an end, after all, the matter had passed, and she also expressed her gratitude and gave a thank you gift.

However, I don't know where some rumors about this matter came from, and gradually began to spread in the capital.

Everyone said that when the county lord of Anyang was chased by a killer and was about to die that day, it was King Ping who suddenly appeared, saved the county lord of Anyang, and then personally escorted the county lord of Anyang home.

If you just say that, it is not much different from the facts, and Ruoyun is understandable.

But I don't know if it's because the people are too gossipy, or if it's something else.

The matter of King Ping's brave rescue of the county lord of Anyang is rumored to be miraculous, and the whole thing is a big drama of heroes saving beauty!

There are even many versions that have come out, and some people say that in fact, the county lord of Anyang was shot out by the killer, and it was King Ping who flew up and hugged her, and then sent her to the carriage.

There is also a saying that it is not, it was the county lord of Anyang who was injured by a knife in the carriage, and the knife was poisonous, and it was King Ping who helped the county lord of Anyang suck the poison out with his mouth.

It is even said that it was King Ping who brought the county lord of Anyang back in the carriage along the way.

Anyway, the final summary is that King Ping and the county lord of Anyang have a skin-to-skin relationship under that circumstances.

And it is said that King Ping has long admired the demeanor of the county lord of Anyang, and now after the county lord of Anyang was rescued by the hero of King Ping, he also secretly promised that the two were simply in love, and they should be together quickly!

Ruoyun is in the house, and after hearing the report that Akiba has returned from the investigation, not only does he want to laugh, but the imagination of the masses is really strong, is this the ancient version of the scandal?

In modern times, their wealthy circle and those entertainment stars also have some lace scandals from time to time, but at that time she was a spectator, and when she heard those gossip scandals, she just laughed and passed.

And now, she has never had a scandal in modern times, but in such a feudal ancient time, she was rumored to be a scandal! R1152
