Chapter 338: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable
The black shadows moved sensitively, cooperating with the quiet advance, where they passed, one covered the guard's mouth and nose, and one person cut the person like a watermelon with a knife in his hand, and a silent killing unfolded in front of the eyes of the two girls.
Luo Zhiya was so frightened that Suo Suo trembled, and almost put her palm into her mouth, for fear of making a little noise and becoming a ghost under the knife, but because she was too nervous, her teeth were uncontrollable and gurgling.
The sound was actually very slight, but when it fell on the ears of the two, it was no less than thunder, which was terrifying.
Lord Chuxia glared at her angrily, and then looked ahead.
Maybe it was the experience of escaping death in Yongwang Beizhuang, the lord of Chuxia County was better, she grabbed the grass under her with both hands, and suddenly, she touched a cold and hard thing, no need to bow her head, her fingers touched it again, and it was sure that it was a small stone.
At that moment, she had a flash of inspiration and mustered up the courage to aim the stone at the nearest guard.
The stone fell to the ground, and the guard, who was standing and dozing, was suddenly startled, and subconsciously looked up, and then his pupils shrank, and he shouted: "There is an assassin-"
This sound sounded in the silent night, and it was earth-shattering.
Many tents were noisy, figures swayed, and many people poured out at once.
A swift black shadow had already leaned into one of the ornate tents, slashing the neck of the maid who had come out in a panic to see what was going on.
The woman's screams rang out, and more voices shouted, "Protect the princess!" ”
The county lord of Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and the night wind blew, and his body was cold.
Fortunately, the assassin's whereabouts were finally exposed, otherwise according to them, they quietly don't know how many people they would kill, at least the personal maids who guarded her and Luo Zhiya's tent. Their lives can't be saved, and if they find out that they are not in the tent, they may be quietly searched here, and when the time comes, they may not even have a chance to call for help.
Luo Zhiya also sat on the ground in fear, unable to move, but she sneered in her heart.
Look, at such a time, sure enough, all I think of is the princess, who remembers her life and death!
The torches have been lit. There were figures everywhere, and the sound of fighting was endless, and those figures were trapped by the group.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the grass, and countless arrows broke through the air and went straight to the two gorgeous tents.
"Oh no, the assassins still have help!"
There were hundreds of guards guarding the Lord of Hatsuka, some of them were honor guards, and the other part was compared to the number of assassins. It was far exceeded, but the Assassin was better than sneaking up at night, and ambushing outside to kill people with random arrows, for a while. Everywhere there was the incessant screaming of their own side.
The envoy who greeted him took something out of his bosom and threw it into the sky.
The brilliant yellow flames instantly pierced the extraordinarily vast starry sky, reflecting the frightened expressions on people's faces.
It's in the chaos. A dark shadow crept in the direction where the two were hiding.
The man was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that he could already smell blood.
Luo Zhiya covered her mouth tightly, and anger crossed her eyes.
It was the stones thrown by Princess Chuxia that made the Assassin aware of this. Otherwise, how could he have found it!
By the way, Shizi......
At this moment, Luo Zhiya grabbed a stone and threw it in the direction of the lord of Chuxia.
The stone fell not far in front of the county lord of Chuxia, like a talisman, and the county lord of Chuxia suddenly raised his head in disbelief, and met the man's eyes.
Perhaps it was the life-and-death moment that he had exerted his potential, and the Lord of Chuxia took out an object from his arms and threw it at the man, and then hurriedly retreated.
The man's head dodged away, and the object fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and it turned out to be a cold and hard sugar cake with a few tooth marks on it.
The man's face distorted, and the knife was thrown at the Lord of Chuxia.
At this time, two figures fell from the sky, one stood in front of the lord of Chuxia, and the other stepped forward to fight with the man.
"Escort the princess to a safe place first!"
The lord of Chuxia County was really relieved when he saw the dark guard appear.
Luo Zhiya, who was hiding on the other side, wanted to move her lips, wanting the secret guard who appeared to take her with her, but she saw that the county lord of Chuxia suddenly turned around and glanced at her with a smile in the direction where she was hiding.
This glance was like a basin of ice water splashed on her, freezing her whole body.
Only then did she realize what she had just done subconsciously.
She threw the stone at the Lord of Chuxia!
Luo Zhiya regretted it, she didn't understand what she was thinking at that time, but she vaguely understood it deep in her heart.
The target of the assassins was originally the princess, and if Princess Chuxia was discovered, who would go out of their way to kill her as an insignificant person?
Such a thought, even Luo Zhiya herself didn't want to think deeply, she only felt that she must have been evil at that time, but when the chaos subsided, Princess Chuxia would not let her go no matter what!
In this vast grassland, Luo Zhiya felt that her life was as humble as grass, and no one could rely on it except herself!
Looking at the fight not far away, Luo Zhiya quietly made a decision.
She's going to run!
If she doesn't run away, Princess Chuxia will definitely kill her!
Yes, escape, escape, she doesn't have to marry the second prince of Rausch!
Luo Zhiya's heart thumped, giving birth to the greatest courage in her life, in the deep grass, little by little, I don't know how long I went backwards like this, just when I wanted to turn around, I suddenly felt that my feet were empty, and I stepped on the air and fell.
There was a sound of killing in the distance, and no one noticed the exclamation of a woman.
The secret guard escorted the county lord of Chuxia to a safe place, and couldn't help but say: "Princess, your subordinates will stay aside, you must not act rashly in the future, and take the initiative to confront the assassin with a hidden weapon." ”
"What a secret weapon, that's just a sugar cake that I used to grind my teeth when I was idle in the carriage!" The Lord of Chuxia was shocked and rolled his eyes, "How do I know that you must be following." ”
In fact, she knew that the two secret guards would not leave her half a step as long as she was out of the tent, and although she couldn't detect where they were hiding, they would definitely be there.
But Rao is like this, she is really facing a life-and-death situation, she still can't completely wait for someone to rescue, perhaps, she can't be the elegant and calm of a real princess.
The county lord of Chuxia laughed at himself and said angrily: "Since you have been here all along, how can you watch those people touch in." ”
The dark guard knelt down and said in a calm tone: "The subordinates are only responsible for the safety of the princess. ”
Since the princess is not in the account, how can they take the initiative to expose the princess's traces.
It's just that stupid woman, it was supposed to be the best time for them to raid if they were one step later, and the princess wouldn't be frightened.
But they are secret guards, not killers, whether to deal with that woman or not, it only depends on the princess's meaning.
The sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and more and more people guarded the side of the county lord of Chuxia, and the county lord of Chuxia said to a few guards: "Go to the sheltered place behind the camp tent and invite Miss Luo over!" ”
Several guards were ordered to go out, and after a short time, one of them said, "Back to the princess, Miss Luo is not there." ”
"Oh?" The county lord of Chuxia laughed angrily and said coldly, "Okay, then you count the number of people, treat the wounded, and see if Miss Luo is among them." ”
When everyone had withdrawn, she felt so tired that she fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know when, hearing an uproar outside, the county lord of Chuxia woke up suddenly, pushed away the dissuading maid, lifted the corner of the tent and looked out.
In the morning light, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the distance, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust, was rushing in this direction.
Someone screamed in fear, mixed with a series of bird songs.
Those barbarian envoys looked excited, danced with their hands, and finally said something in the confusion of everyone: "Our second prince has arrived!" ”
The people in the distance quickly came to the front, and one of them had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his heroic posture was undoubtedly the second prince.
He took the reins, turned over and dismounted, and asked aloud, "Is the princess well?" ”
A barbarian tail envoy muttered, and the second prince smiled, strode to the main tent of Chuxia County, put his hands on his chest, and performed a barbarian tail etiquette: "Princess, I am the second prince of Mantail, and I am here to greet you." ”
The moment the county lord of Chuxia caught a glimpse of the second prince, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Zhen Si didn't lie to her, these two princes are still quite heroic, although their figure is not as thin as the common Great Zhou literati, they are also tall and straight, unlike these envoys who came to receive kisses, all of them have burly arms thicker than her waist.
The eldest prince, who is the same as the second prince and his mother, should not be bad.
Originally, I had planned for the worst, but seeing that it was much better than I imagined, the county lord of Chuxia suddenly felt better.
She packed up and ordered someone to invite the second prince in.
When the second prince saw the lord of Chuxia, he also showed a bright smile, and said in his heart, although the princess of this Great Zhou is not as good as his princess, she is also a beautiful person, and the eldest brother will definitely like it when he sees it.
The two exchanged politeness, and the second prince couldn't help asking: "Princess, in addition to you, there is also a girl who is close this time, can I meet her?" ”
Afraid that the lord of Chuxia would not agree, the second prince hurriedly said: "I know, the rules of your Da Zhou, unmarried men and women are not suitable to meet, but we don't have such rules, she may not be in a good mood far from home, I want to ask her if she likes to prepare in advance, maybe she will be in a better mood when she sees it." ”
The county lord of Chuxia looked at the second prince with a complicated expression, and said for a while: "There was an assassin attack on the camp last night, and Miss Luo has disappeared so far. ”
"What?" The second prince's face changed greatly, and he no longer had the appearance of infinite joy just now, and suddenly took a few steps forward, until he was stopped by the guards, he came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, I ordered the guards to send you over first." ”
He walked out of the tent and summoned the guards to say a few words, and they headed for the capital of the Barbarian Tail with the princess guards.
The second prince took the dozen or so guards left behind and searched for three days and three nights within a radius of 100 miles, but did not find his beloved girl, but found Luo Zhiya, who was seriously injured and unconscious, in a herdsman. (To be continued......)
