Chapter 31: Fighting Xiao Again
The road is going well for the time being, and I haven't encountered any assassinations, robbers, robbers or anything.
On the way, Tang Zhaoyu frantically gave me the intricate position of the situation of the Five Kingdoms and the Warring States Imperial Family.
I knew that the matter was big, and I tried very hard to listen to her talk about this, but I silently thought of one thing in my heart: "Tang Zhaoyu, should I give you a name!" ”
"Can you listen to me!"
"I have a good ear, but don't you think I'll have to give you a maid's name? Your name is so eye-catching, what if one day I'm called Bald Mouth! ”
"What did you tell Zhan Xu about your name earlier?"
"Yu Tang, Zhao Yu Tang"
"You're pretty good at ~~~"
"Then I'll call you sugar candy from now on, honey's sugar!"
Tang Zhaoyu was not very satisfied with the name.
"It's too motherly, I'm tired of it. Do you like candy very much? ”
"No, I just think I eat too much sugar and get a toothache. I hope you can confuse the enemy like candy and make them die in pain. ”
That's a lot cooler!
Get along these days, Tang Zhaoyu, no... Tangtang is quite used to me, and now no matter how much I tease her, as long as it is not too much, she is too lazy to care about me.
"Thank you for your love and high hopes for me, can we continue the class?"
"Okay, the sugar master has worked hard!"
······
In the afternoon, it began to rain on the road, and the rainy day was muddy, and the distance was delayed, and no matter how much you hurried, you could not get to the next post station before nightfall.
The third prince sent someone to the front to investigate.
"Ah Jin, I'm afraid we're going to set up camp on this mountain tonight."
"Your Highness arranges that."
Although the conditions for sleeping in the wild were a little harder, the mattress in the tent was very thick and did not feel cold.
The attendants went to hunt some game, and made a fire to roast and eat, which had a unique flavor.
Sitting in front of the fire and looking at the roast rabbits on the fire, I was a little dazed.
"Girl, do you miss your little sister?"
Tangtang guards outsiders and is very well-behaved.
"Hmmm..."
Thinking that when Zeng Jin and Shengge escaped from the Liyuan dungeon, they also roasted rabbits outside to eat, and I was even more worried about her.
Tangtang saw that no one was paying attention to us, so he attached himself to my ear: "Shengge has sent you a message." ”
I stalked my neck, pretended to hear something funny, and patted Tang Zhaoyu: "Don't make trouble~"
She also smiled and put her mouth over again: "There is an assassination tonight, the second prince will pretend to pass by, and then pass together." ”
That's to meet Shengge, Drift Brew!
Zhan Xu arranged the people who were on duty at night, and came over to tell us: "Tonight will be a moment, tomorrow we will leave a little earlier, and when we get to the next rest point, we will have a good rest." ”
"I'm not a noble person, and I can't talk about anything."
Zhan Xu didn't care about my sarcasm, and handed me a kettle: "I'll pour some hot water for you." ”
After Zhan Xu left, Tang Zhaoyu looked at his back and asked me: "These three princes have always had a good reputation, and they are also very considerate to their subordinates. ”
"Sugar Master, you've told me many times today"
"I see that you have a grudge against him, not quite like your usual style of being a little low"
I can't tell Tang Zhaoyu that I'm an impostor, I'm afraid of being recognized.
"I just see that the people of their royal family are not pleasing to the eye, and finally there is a good bully, so I can't stab two sentences?"
"You are really a lord who bullies the weak and fears the hard..."
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is time to kill!
Before the fourth watch, the rain that had stopped for a short time began to fall again.
The night watchman was dozing when he was suddenly awakened by the rain.
Zhan Xu's tent was not far from me, I was woken up by the sound of rain, and seeing that there was still a lamp in his tent, it seemed that he hadn't slept all night.
I don't know if it was Tang Zhaoyu's premonition or the vigilance of the people in the rivers and lakes, suddenly she woke up with her eyes, pounced on me, covered my mouth with her hand, poured some water from the kettle, and wet her handkerchief to cover my mouth and nose.
In less than a moment, a dark shadow flashed outside the tent, and thick smoke blew in through the cracks in the tent.
Tang Zhaoyu motioned for me not to move, and after a while, two or three black shadows passed by our tent outside.
Seeing that the direction of those black shadows was the tent of the Three Princes, I breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't come at us.
Tang Zhaoyu was wondering how the guards of the three princes were so unusable, could it be that they were really unaware of it, when the outside suddenly lit up, and it seemed that many torches were lit, and then there was a loud shout: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
It's really... If you fight, you fight, what do you shout, how can you shout this sound help you fight away the enemy?
Tang Zhaoyu and I lifted a corner from the side of the tent curtain, only showing our heads to spy on the situation outside.
The curtain was a little embarrassed, and there was a circle of guards in front of our tent: "It's dangerous outside, please go back." ”
Go back...
So we both took our heads back, leaving only a slit and our eyes out to watch the battle.
The number of assassins was nearly twenty, and five of them entangled Zhan Xu.
Zhan Xu's martial arts are really good, and he will not fall behind with one enemy and five enemies.
There was a fight here, and suddenly there was a voice from the west, thinking that it was our second highness coming down.
When the Assassins saw that reinforcements had arrived, and they had not been able to take Zhan Xu for a long time, the leaders of the group reluctantly glanced at our tent and gave the order to retreat.
Some doubts arose in my mind, what was this assassin aiming at me? Or Chong Zhan Xu?
Seeing that they had stopped, Zhan Xu did not entangle, let alone ordered to chase, but chose to quickly repair in situ and count the number of people.
"How did the third brother just let those assassins go?"
Zhan Xiao came, and the voice was as eerie and terrifying as ever.
"Poor Kou Mo chasing, besides, Ah Sheng is here, if it is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't it put her in danger?"
"Hahaha, Ah Sheng? I can't see that the third brother and this woman seem to be closer than the sister in your palace! ”
I said I would change my name, and as soon as I lifted the curtain I came out of the tent: "Don't call me Ah Sheng again!" I'll say it one last time! My name is Jinse! ”
Zhan Xu looked at me very hurt and lost, and this glance actually gave me a hint of the illusion that I was a negative girl!
I guessed right, he and Shengge are old acquaintances, and they used to be very familiar!
"Yes, Jinse. Ah··· Nishiki..."
I squinted at Zhan Xiao and snorted coldly to go back to the tent.
"Third brother, this is protecting a white-eyed wolf..." Zhan Xiao scolded me outside, and I turned around and came back: "Who are you scolding?" ”
"Scold whoever knows!"
I'm going to beat him, I've been unhappy with you for a long time, and I won't stand by if I want to come to this Zhan Xu.
Zhan Xu stepped forward to stop me: "Ah Jin can't... It's you... Second brother"
Zhan Xiao squinted at me: "I don't have such an unruly sister..."
"I don't have a tasteless brother like you!"
Zhan Xu snorted, making his eyes look and let Tangtang pull me back to the tent.
"Ah Jin, I have been alone outside all these years, although my temper is a little weird, but I have a pure temperament, my second brother must not worry about her."
"Hehe, the third brother is confused, she is a powerful character who can turn the whole team of royal guards around~ It's true that her temper is weird, but her temperament is pure but not necessarily."
Oh? Oh uncle!
