In the western suburbs of Shangdu, the sun is scorching, the forest leaves are dense, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and there is no one else on the road except for a horse-drawn carriage galloping forward.

The carriage was hung with the sign of King Heng's Mansion, and a crisp female voice came from inside the carriage: "How far is Fahua Temple?" ”

"It's not far off, the princess is affected. Although Fahua Temple is a royal temple, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and the road is rugged, so I am afraid that it will be bumpy, right? The coachman replied loudly.

"It's okay, leave me alone. Pray for His Royal Highness, and talk about some rugged and bumpy rides. ”

The coachman whipped vigorously, and the speed of the horse increased a few points.

There is no wind and no dust around, only the constant chirping of cicadas.

Suddenly, the birds in the woods were startled and fluttered in all directions. The galloping horse shook its head with a long roar, the coachman pulled the reins sharply, the horse's front hooves were raised high, and the ground came to a sharp stop.

In front of the carriage, dozens of black-clothed people appeared in a line, wearing masks on their faces and holding long swords, standing solemnly. The light through the cracks in the trees hit the blades directly, and the silver light was dazzling.

"What's wrong?" The female voice in the carriage was anxious and confused.

"Princess, there is ...... There was ......" Before the coachman finished speaking, the man in black standing in the middle not far away moved his wrist and stabbed with his sword, as fast as the wind, murderous. The driver fell with his head in his hands, rolled on the spot and fell down the slope on the side.

A man in black who followed closely behind ran out of the team and chased in the direction where the coachman had fallen, not letting go of a single person.

The sword of the man in black did not change direction, but attacked more aggressively towards the carriage. When the tip of the sword was about to touch the car door, the car door suddenly opened, and a woman dressed in black flew out, this person was Li Han.

She raised her whip and swung it down, wrapped around the sword in front of her, and vigorously pulled the other party to the ground.

Only then did the man in black suddenly look up and see her face clearly: it was not Princess Heng. His exposed eyes showed surprise.

Li Han raised his head slightly, and said coldly: "Changfeng Li Han, I disappointed Your Excellency." With that, she whipped to the ground in hatred.

The man in black at the head paused, and the eight people behind him all stopped, all on alert. In an instant, he got up again, raised his sword, and the eight people behind him moved in the wind and followed in unison.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the grass around him, and the black-clothed man's ears moved slightly, he was very good at hearing, and his heart was not good. As soon as the voice in his heart fell, not far from him, the palace guards who were several times more numerous than them were quickly approaching.

His sword momentum approached Li Han, but he saw a flying knife shoot out of nowhere, flying faster than his sword towards his face, he had to quickly turn his head and subconsciously withdraw his sword to resist the flying knife. Although he dodged the throwing knife, he also missed the best opportunity to attack.

At this moment, the palace guards had already attacked and fought fiercely with the man in black. Although the black-clothed man led by him is very good at kung fu, the guards of the palace are not vegetarians, and he can't get out for a while.

Li Han always stood in front of the carriage, holding a whip in his right hand, vigilantly observing the battle situation.

In the woods, the sound of swords clashing faded into each other. Seeing that his men were subdued one by one, the black-clothed man led by him seized the opportunity to turn around and evacuate, but another flying knife was firmly pierced into his right calf, and as soon as he stumbled, several swords had already fallen on his neck.

Defeat is assured.

The palace guards very neatly tied up the ten men in black, including the one who went to chase the coachman, and brought them to the carriage together.

To say that the man in black who is the leader is also fierce, the moment he was torn off his mask, he wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but fortunately, the guards were on guard, so he didn't succeed.

The carriage door creaked open again. Qingxi dressed elegantly, walked out slowly, and walked in front of the leader in black.

The men in black looked at her in unison, their faces surprised.

The moment they saw the palace guards, they knew they had been ambushed. This princess traveled lightly and went to Fahua Temple to fast and pray for blessings, I am afraid it is a pretext to invite the king into the urn. Therefore, they thought that there was no princess in the carriage at all. However, at this moment, the princess stood in front of them like a breeze, dressed in fluttering clothes and outstanding in style.

"We should actually have a relationship." Qingxi looked at the black-clothed man led by him and said lightly.

The man in black looked at her and said nothing.

Qingxi smiled slightly and said softly, "Some people don't have a chance to speak anymore. At that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that His Excellency Baoding Mountain changed my life. ”

The eyes of the man in front of him were puzzled. And Li Han, who was behind him, didn't know why when he heard this.

Qingxi glanced at the wound on his leg and shook his head pityingly: "Before doing something that is vital to your life, you must ask if it is worth it." ”

"The princess doesn't need to bother to speak, I plan today's events alone, and I have nothing to do with others."

Qingxi's face was very calm: "Who planned it, why did you put me to death, I have the relevant yamen of the imperial court to try and find out, this is not my duty, and you don't need to tell me." Then, she turned to Li Han and said, "I don't know if Miss Li has just seen this for a long time, can she see any doorway?" ”

Li Han's eyebrows raised slightly, but his tone was still flat: "There is a high-ranking disciple in the Qijing Mountain, and I heard that he left the Qijing Mountain for some reason in the past two years. A master of the road is good at swords, and has his own difficult swordsmanship. He has never been out of the Seven Pure Mountains in his life, and his swordsmanship is actually only for the purpose of ordinary cultivation and health, and his moves have no attack power. But he," she said, she glanced at the man in black and continued: "Although it is not easy to make a move just now, it is a trick that costs people's lives, and it is so ruthless, I am afraid that it will make the master angry to death." ”

The man in black turned pale.

Li Han pursed his lips, put away his short whip and said, "Although I am not proficient in martial arts, my eyesight is not bad. She looked at the man in black indifferently and spoke again: "You have used your strength to make this set of swordsmanship against ordinary people, but the guards of the palace are not idle people, and the more force you use, the more flaws you will have, so you are not ashamed to lose today." ”

"You ......" The man in black's face turned red again, and he was very angry.

Qingxi lowered his head and smiled, it seems that Li Han's kung fu is not only effective for Qingsong.

"You know who I am, right?" Li Han leaned over to look at the man in black who was glaring at her angrily. "I'm Changfeng Dart Bureau, I'm not good at anything else, it's just that guys who go south and north like to spread some stories about the rivers and lakes."

The man in black's eyes darkened.

Li Han slurped: "Master Yimu is kind and cute......"

Qingxi and the man in black both looked at her in unison. She actually used the word cute to describe a Taoist who was close to ancient times.

Li Han felt their eyes, but after thinking about it, she didn't use the word cute, so she calmly continued: "I heard that he swore to each other with the Ten Perfection Dao Masters that he and his apprentices would never get involved in the affairs of the court, otherwise they would give up their Taoist temple in the Seven Pure Mountains and never enter the Seven Pure Mountains again." She paused, and when she saw that the face of the man in black had changed very much in line with her expectations, she continued: "Maybe when he reaches the realm of a pastor, Qijing Mountain may be able to give up, but if the world knows that his senior disciple is so unkind and upright now, and still wants to take people's lives, his old man will probably be killed by a headhead." was pointed at by Taoist friends, criticized by people all over the world, and the evening festival was not guaranteed, it was too miserable! She shook her head helplessly.

The man in black's entire body was heaving strongly, and his breathing was unbearably short.

Qingxi stepped forward and said gently: "Actually, it is easy for the imperial court to find out your true identity. If you are willing to cooperate, perhaps the court is also willing to fulfill your respect for the elderly. She waved her hand: "Send them where they should go." ”

The palace guards were ordered to escort people away. The remaining guards were back on guard, quite far away from Qingxi and Li Han. And the coachman, who had rolled down the hillside, also walked back at this time, escorted by a guard.

Qingxi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The coachman smiled and shook his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little bit of skin." Oh, although I was scared, I always felt like I had done something big. ”

Qingxi said softly: "It's hard work." She looked up again and said to the guard who had brought him back, "There is ointment in the car, and you have to give him medicine." ”

The two men were ordered to go to the carriage.

Qingxi smiled at Li Han beside him: "Thank you Miss Li today." I think that person will speak, as a confidant of King Guang, he will know no less. This time, you have done His Highness a great favor. She lowered her head slightly, and her voice was a little hoarse: "He will thank you very much when he comes back." ”

Li Han smiled at the corner of his lips: "The sixth master should be grateful for the princess's adventurous layout." In fact, today, the princess can not come. ”

Qingxi shook his head: "Before I saw that group of people, I wasn't sure if King Guang would make a move, I had to confirm." And aren't the palace guards also taking risks to complete the task? They are, and I have to, maybe not be of much help, but at least let them know that His Highness is with them. Besides......" She frowned, as if thinking about something, and continued: "I originally thought that if I could be injured on the spot, the news from the imperial court would be even more unfavorable to the resolution of King Guang's matter. But you have protected me too well today to have a chance. That sounds really regrettable.

She turned to look at the road leading to Fahua Temple: "It's okay." I continued to fast at Fahua Monastery and pray for His Highness, wishing him all the best in the southwest. She paused, and then muttered, "I don't know if his injuries have healed?" After saying this, she seemed to remember something, realized that Li Han was by her side, and looked at her and said, "You don't need to worry about his injury." She tried her best not to laugh so awkwardly.

But Li Han's expression was a little thoughtful.

Qingxi thought that she was really worried about Xiao Yizheng, and she didn't know what to say, so she walked forward.

"Princess," Li Han opened his mouth to call her.

Qingxi looked back at her.

Li Han said: "You have been exhausted for the past two days, if you go to Fahua Temple to fast again, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it." You can take two days off. ”

"No need to ......" Qingxi's words were not finished when he heard Li Han say, "Offended." ”

I saw Li Han raise his hand and fall and slap her on the neck. Immediately, she vaguely saw the guards not far away rushing towards her, and her eyelids sank into darkness.
