Now that he was about to enter the city, a big stone in his heart gradually fell.

A gust of wind blew, and the horse in front of him was a little restless and unwilling to go any further, and the guard on horseback whipped a few times, but the horse only neighed lowly, and was unwilling to move forward anyway.

Sensing that the procession had stopped, the Admiral lifted the curtain and looked out, and it didn't matter what he saw, and he heard the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the grass on the side of the road, coming straight at the Admiral.

Seeing this, the admiral's stand-in guard exclaimed, "Be careful, my lord, there is an ambush!" Before the words fell, the sharp arrow was already in front of him, and he raised his hand to cut off the tail of the arrow, but the arrow was still headed at the Admiral.

Fortunately, his resistance just now made the arrow deviate from some positions, and it did not hit the head of the Admiral, but tilted its position and shot towards his shoulder, and the sharp arrow suddenly sank into the shoulder, and suddenly the pain came, and the painful Admiral couldn't help but gasp.

An arrow did not kill the Admiral, and the killers who were lying in ambush in the grass were no longer hidden, but poured out at once, and in the darkness of the night, they were dressed in black night clothes, which blended in with the night.

I couldn't tell the difference for a while, I could only see a sharp blade flashing with cold light in the darkness, "Protect the adults, protect the human card!" ”

The guards at the head shouted, and the other guards quickly gathered around, surrounded the two carriages and protected them in the middle, and clenched the blades in their hands in the face of the killers who poured out of the darkness.

The hidden weapon broke through the air, facing the person who had just shouted, the man couldn't dodge, his arm was scratched by a flying knife, and for a while the two sides were fighting in one place, the sound of swords colliding, the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh, and the sound of enduring pain sounded from time to time in the night.

The Admiral sat in the carriage with a solemn face, thinking in his heart how to tell the officers and soldiers in the city about the situation here, as long as they could get reinforcements, they would be fine.

But...... Looking out through the gap in the curtain of the car window, the number of black-clothed people was no less than the guards he brought, and all of them were strong in martial arts, and their body skills were extremely strange and fast, and after a while, several guards could not support it and fell.

If this continues, I'm afraid that a group of people will be buried in this wilderness!

Looking up in the distance, the moonlight penetrated the clouds, and the earth returned to brightness, and by the moonlight at night, I could vaguely see the city gate and tower in the distance, but it was clearly in front of me, but there was no way to save them.

"You can't spend it with them, hurry up and go to the city to move rescuers!" Lord Admiral said in a deep voice, and the guards began to find a way to break through, but the other party had good skills and a lot of manpower, and it was too difficult for them to break through.

Seeing the guards fall one by one, the Admiral lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, picked up the sword on the ground, and fought against the killer with the guards.

At this moment, another group of black-clothed people came, this group of black-clothed people should not be in the same group as the previous people, they raised their swords and fell, and quickly eliminated several assassins, with helpers, the Admiral led the guards to start a counterattack.

Soon the Assassins were crushed, and seeing that the assassination was hopeless, the leader retreated with a deep voice, and the group turned and jumped into the grass by the side of the road.

It was so dark that they were hidden, and a group of men in black chased after the people in front of them, leaving the Admiral and the wounded and dead guards stunned in place.

"My lord, what happened just now?" One person covered his arm and asked with a frown.

Lord Admiral looked at the place where the man in black disappeared, his eyes were heavy, "Ask what should be asked, ask less if you shouldn't ask, talk too much, but it's fatal!" ”

After being reprimanded like this, the man didn't dare to be curious anymore, so he hurriedly said yes, and then helped everyone carry the injured man to the city gate.

Walking to the city gate, the admiral shouted to open the city gate, but the soldiers guarding the city said that the city is under martial law today, and the city gate cannot be opened without the order of the six princes, and if you want to enter, you must show the token of the six princes, or wait outside, and wait for the city gate to be opened at dawn.

Hearing these words, the admiral's face was solemn, and the sixth prince Tuoba Gong locked them outside the city gate, so that the killer could find an opportunity to kill them and use them to extinguish them.

If the color hadn't lit up today, if they hadn't gone into the city, maybe those killers wouldn't have come back, and how could they, the wounded, resist another assassination by the killers?

I was anxious, but I was helpless, after all, people were inside, they were outside, and if they didn't open the door, they couldn't open this huge city gate.

"Open the door and let the Admiral into the city!" A gentle voice sounded from the city gate, and the Admiral listened carefully, and felt that the voice was extremely familiar, but for a moment he could not think of who it was.

The soldiers guarding the city were a little embarrassed, but when they saw the token in the man's hand, they said yes respectfully, did not dare to delay, and opened the city gate in a slippery manner.

The ancient city gate slowly opened with a dull creaking sound, and the Admiral breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city gate open and the city was lit up with lights because of the Flower Dynasty Festival.

The soldiers guarding the city saw the miserable condition of the people clearly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, explaining to the Admiral that he was also acting on orders and had to carry it out.

The Admiral nodded, but did not bother with a small soldier guarding the city, but asked him to find someone to bring back the wounded guards, and by the way, find some doctors to treat them.

The soldier guarding the city did not dare to delay, and hurriedly nodded and bowed to do it.

The night breeze was cold, and the admiral and his group rested at the city gate for a while, and then set off for the palace.

In the garden, Qiao Mingyue listened to the report from the secret guard, nodded lightly, she got up and told the maid to freshen herself, the maid heard the words and hurriedly went to fetch water, while combing Qiao Mingyue's hair, she said: "Princess, you haven't slept all night, do you want to rest for a while?" ”

Qiao Mingyue shook her head, she couldn't rest now! Before Qi Jingyun came back safely, she couldn't sleep anyway!

Looking up at herself in the mirror, Qiao Mingyue gently patted the hand of the maid who was about to shake it, "It doesn't have to be like this, just comb your hair simply, my husband is now in prison, how can I still have the heart to dress up?" ”

Although the little maid was a little puzzled when she heard this, she still followed Qiao Mingyue's instructions, simply combed her hair, and let it be scattered behind her head at will, and according to Qiao Mingyue's instructions, she found a simple dress and waited for Qiao Mingyue to put it on.

After cleaning up all this, the sky has gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, Qiao Mingyue felt that it was almost time, so she took the little maid to the inner palace.
