Chapter 323: Assassination
The glimmer of light in the morning light rose like white snowflakes fluttering in the inky night sky, and the sky had gradually become slightly brighter.
"Princess, it's getting dark, it's time for us to go." Jiyu stretched out his hand to lift the slightly hanging bed curtain, and held his master's clothes in one hand.
Jinxi is a bitter cold place, and the weather is even colder than that of Handu, and you can see ice cubes hanging from the eaves of roofs and flying snow everywhere.
"It's dawn?" July gently rubbed his eyes with one hand, lifted the futon with the other and said sleepily.
However, July quickly got up and put on layers of warm clothes under Jiyu's service, which Jiyu specially prepared for July.
The master and servant took advantage of the snow to go out of the city, and did not alarm anyone in the inn, as soon as they left the city, the two hurried towards Yunhe, the only place mentioned by the Empress Dowager was Yunhe, even if the vicissitudes of the sea, it would not change Yunhe.
The thick snow did not reach the upper of the shoes, and because the two of them hurried out of the city while the city gate had just been opened, and did not hire a carriage, the two could only advance towards the Yunhe River step by step.
"Master, it takes about two hours to walk from Yunshui County to Yunhe, but today's wind and snow block the road, I'm afraid I can't get to Yunhe before noon." Last night, Ji Yu flipped through the travelogues about the land of Jin Xi all night, and he roughly counted it in his heart.
Flicking the snowflakes on his hair, he looked at the front covered by the snow and said, "It's okay, as long as you can get to Yunhe today, it's better to be cautious with wind and snow." ”
Around noon, Jade and July finally appeared on the shore of the Yunhe River, and unlike the surrounding snowy and snowy land, the water of the Yunhe River was stirred by the west wind, and the heated river slowly went towards the east and south.
The Yun River is the most magical river in the entire Jin country, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, the water of the Yun River always exudes a vast warmth like white mist, and the river water within reach is cold and soaking bones.
Looking at the meandering Yunhe, that is, Yu was a little fixed in his heart: "Master, this is the famous Yunhe of Jin Guo, I heard that Yunhe is like spring all year round, it seems that it is not a rumor." ”
July looked at the Yunhe in front of her, and kept thinking about every word the Empress Dowager said before she died, and she always felt that the clue might be in the words left by the Empress Dowager.
"The four seasons are like spring, the four seasons are like spring, what does it mean!" Qiyue, who was frowning, suddenly had a thought in his mind when he heard the four words that Jiyu said, but he couldn't grasp that thought.
July, who had words in his mouth, paced by the Yunhe River, and unconsciously walked into an ambush that had been hidden for a long time.
Suddenly, dozens of short arrows suddenly flew out of the snow and flew towards Qiyue's figure, and more than two dozen black-clothed people suddenly came out of the snow, which was particularly obvious against the white snow.
"Master, be careful" Jiyu, who had been following Qiyue not far behind, realized the danger when the short arrow flew out of the snow, and rushed to Qiyue with an arrow step to block the menacing short arrow with the soft sword at his waist.
It seemed that the man in black was irritated by Jiyu's move, and more than two dozen people drew their swords and killed Qiyue and Jiyu with their eyes slightly.
The sword wind stirred the snow all over the sky, and the sword shadows dancing around him went straight towards July, seeing the sword light stabbing at him, and July also knew that it was all aimed at him, but how did her whereabouts leak out.
"Princess, be careful, I am afraid that these men have come prepared to take the lives of our master and servant. The slave and maid fought with them today, and the princess driver left quickly. That is, Yu clenched the soft sword in his hand, with the purpose of delaying time for his master.
With a slight turn, Jade joined the encirclement of that group of people, the soft swords in his hands danced wildly, the air was scattered with flying snow, and the silver-covered earth was soaked in crimson blood, like a blooming mansha shuhua.
After hearing the flower of Jiyu, several of the men in black turned around and rushed towards July, their target was the one for the Lord, killing the people in the mission first, and then sending the rest of the people to the funeral.
"Want to go? I also have to ask if the swords in the hands of more than 20 of us agree or not, the brothers have been waiting for Princess Xiaoyang in this ice and snow for a long time, since Princess Xiaoyang is here, then leave your life behind! The man in black said with a hideous face.
Since leaving Handu in July, they have received orders to besiege and kill Princess Xiaoyang at all costs, and they have lost the best opportunity to make a move on the way several times in a row, which has angered their masters, and if they let them escape this time, they will lose their heads.
"Who are you, since you know the identity of this princess, then do you know what this princess represents, kill this princess, I am afraid that the Yancheng Iron Horse will crush half of the Jin country in less than half a month, does your master dare?" July's eyes looked aggressively at the one of the men in black who spoke.
The words of the man in black made her uneasy, since she knew her identity and wanted to put her to death, could it really be someone from the Rou tribe, but these people should be from the capital of Handu, and who was hidden in the capital?
As long as she dies in the Jin State, the war between the two countries will definitely break out, she knows Ning Guogong's ambition very well, such a foolproof excuse, if she doesn't look at it, I'm afraid there will be no more chances.
I don't know who wants their lives so much, is it for the chaos of the world, but what kind of benefits can their masters get from it?
However, her life was not so easy to take, and her eyes flashed fiercely and said: "Since you want the life of this princess, you have to see if you have the ability." ”
The clothes were fluttering, Ling Bo walked slightly, and every time his body turned slightly, he avoided the sword light, once or twice, those people in black did not pay attention to it, but they dodged the sword moves every time, and they paid attention to it in their hearts.
The jade in the crowd has been soaked in blood, and the original light blue clothes can no longer see the original color, as if he has become a bloody person, and it looks particularly dazzling in the white snow.
The west wind swept up the frost and snow flying in the sky, and the jade finally fell to one knee in the crowd, the splash of dirty blood covering her delicate and delicate face, and only a pair of hateful eyes remained.
"Jade, jade, how are you?" July didn't care if he would leak his martial arts, so he flew towards Jiyu with his toes slightly and held Jiyu who was about to fall with one hand.
In order to get rid of July completely, the people behind him were completely killed, and the people sent were all top killers, and the master and servant were always outnumbered, that is, Yu had completely no power to fight back.
"Princess, why don't you go, you go! It's a pity that the slave maid died, but you are different, princess, Tang Dui you represent, since those people sent killers, they must be uneasy and kind. You... Why don't you leave? Looking at the anxious princess in front of her, Jiyu was even more panicked.
