Chapter 185: The alleys of the empty city are full of dangers
The shouting gradually disappeared, and Su Yitong looked at Feng Feiyi stupidly, not missing any expression on his face. At that time, she realized that Feng Feiyi's situation was not much better than hers.
Her eyes were flooded with water, she blinked her somewhat blurry eyes, and wanted to reach out to give him a hug and chat to comfort, but before she could make a move, she felt that her eyes were dark and she fell asleep completely.
The Assassins outside were quickly dealt with by the guards of the Regent's Palace. Yun Jue received the news and returned halfway, and his eyes were met by the stump and severed arms and the pungent smell of blood.
"Master," he walked to the carriage and bowed back to the people in the carriage, "My subordinates have checked it, and if they are not mistaken, these people should be in the same group as the previous waves of assassins." ”
After that, he looked up at the curtain floating in the wind, and asked hesitantly, "Master, what should we do next?" ”
"The emperor is sick." Feng Feiyi ignored the mess in the car, hugged Su Yitong who had fallen asleep tightly, and said hoarsely: "Immediately rest the team and set off," after a pause, he said: "Since you can't avoid it, then you will change to the official road, and when you get to a place where there is a town, find an inn to settle down in, and postpone other things." ”
"Yes."
Yun Du nodded in response, turned around and plunged headlong into the place where he had fought with the assassin just now, ordering someone to count the number of people first.
The number of casualties was quickly determined, and only half of the five hundred guards were now left, which can be described as heavy losses. But clearly, this is just the beginning.
The carriage moved slowly again, and the wooden wheels crushed over the uneven ground like old age in the twilight, and from time to time there were two "creaks", as if the body had been damaged, and the carriage might explode at any time.
Yun Jue lifted the curtain and looked in, just about to speak. "Grandpa......"
"I'll talk about it when she wakes up." Glancing at the sleeping person in his arms, Feng Feiyi's tone suddenly became extremely gentle.
"Yes." As if expected, Yun Jue foolishly lowered the curtain, beat the horse and walked in front, and commanded along the road: "The prince has an order, speed up." ”
The mountain road is bumpy and winding.
The crowd walked the mountain road for about an hour before they went to the official road.
The official road is flat and unimpeded. After the team got on the official road, it only took half an hour to enter a small town nearby.
At that time, the team was only three days away from Luoyi. And the closer it is to Luoyi, it means that the phenomenon of famine will gradually be revealed.
The night crept over the last remnants of the sky.
Yun Du selected twenty guards with excellent martial arts skills to escort the carriage that Feng Feiyi was riding into the city, and placed the rest of the people outside the city.
Perhaps because of the long-term drought and the shortage of food and water in the city, Yun Jue led people to knock on several inns in a row, but no one answered.
As the night deepened, the lights in the city were silent, as if the place where everyone was in a dead city, and there was not a trace of anger in the living. Occasionally, the night wind blows everyone's sleeves and robes to hunt, but it is terrifying for no reason.
The big red lantern hanging in the corner of the wall was still flickering in the night. Yun Jue waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked up at the row of shops with closed doors, couldn't help squinting, beat the horse to the front of the car, and arched his hand: "Master, there seems to be no one in the city." ”
"Nobody?" Frowning, Feng Feiyi said lukewarmly: "Find a few more to see." ”
"Yes."
The night wind blew harder. Yun did not dare to let his guard down, so he ordered two accompanying guards to look for him, while he stayed with the carriage and waited for their return.
A stick of incense......
Two sticks of incense......
Time passed little by little, and Yun Jue's patience slowly disappeared in this waiting. A strong uneasiness suddenly came to his heart, and he couldn't help frowning, raising his eyes to look around. Only then did he realize that the place where the people were located was a remote and empty alley, surrounded by walls on three sides, and there was only one way out when they came.
As if he had just reacted suddenly, he swept his eyes around, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, get out of here quickly." ”
His voice came suddenly, like fireworks suddenly set off in the quiet night sky, "boom", Ma Ming's heart was confused, and a group of veteran guards suddenly felt panicked, their eyes gradually turned into godlessness, and they slowly wandered away in the dark night where they couldn't see their fingers.
"Damn, it's ambushed." Annoyed and angry, Yun Jue waved his long whip, and his legs clamped the horse's belly and rose into the air with his strength, and the horse suddenly let out a long cry of pain because of the pain, his hooves were raised high, and the horse leaned back, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to throw off the person who whipped it, as if he was swinging frantically from side to side.
Seeing this, Yun Jue immediately whipped his body out of the air and flew away, and with a light step on the saddle with the help of his toes, he jumped onto the wheel of the carriage opposite.
In an instant, the horse neighed, like a ghost crying, as if it was about to pierce a person's eardrum, and it rippled away.
Suddenly the wind rose in the alley, and the guards' blank eyes gradually turned clear in the terrible hiss.
"There is an ambush here, escort the prince away immediately." Yun Jue turned the direction of the carriage, and raised his sleeve robe towards the horse that was still neighing, and saw that in the dark night, a silver needle with a cold light shot into the base of the horse's hind legs with lightning power.
“……”
It was another heart-rending roar, which stirred everyone's hearts like a drum, and they couldn't stop.
"Let's go."
Out of the corner of his eye, Yun Jue caught a glimpse of several black shadows floating towards the mouth of the alley, and immediately raised his horsewhip, and swung it out with all his strength, facing everyone.
"Yes," the guards also spotted the traces of the man in black, and immediately formed a protective ring to surround the carriage.
At the moment when everyone's eyes fell on the man in black floating in front of him, the horse suddenly staggered, and a cloud of hot air erupted from its nostrils, as if it had suddenly gone crazy, and then let out a terrible neigh, and then crashed towards the man in black.
This happened so quickly that no one expected the horse to suddenly go berserk. When they boarded, the leading men in black were knocked out by the horse.
"Bang ......"
"Boom ......"
The sound of flesh hitting the wall and hard objects collapsing came in unison.
Yun Jue saw the opportunity, and immediately drove the carriage to rush out while the man in black was distracted.
Feng Feiyi hugged Su Yitong with a serious expression, and his cold eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the night, but his palm was a water stain.
Su Yitong, who was suddenly awakened by the movement outside, only then did he realize that Feng Feiyi was actually afraid.
He was scared!
A look of disbelief flashed quickly on her face, and she asked, "Feng Feiyi, are you okay?" ”
His eyelashes twitched, and the words that Feng Feiyi uttered became a whisper. "Don't move, there's an ambush outside."
"You?" Looking at Feng Feiyi half puzzled and half puzzled, Su Yitong struggled to break free from his arms, and said with a stunned face: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Her hand touched his face, and she subconsciously exclaimed. "The temperature on your body?"
At that time, although it was the end of summer, the weather was still hot, but at this time, Feng Feiyi's body was cold, as if he was in an ice valley, and there was no temperature at all.
"I'm fine." Feng Feiyi's long arms wrapped around and hugged her into his arms again. As if someone on the verge of death was asking for this last shred of warmth, his hand tightly wrapped around her slender waist, as if to melt her into her bones and blood, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter.
"Wind Wings." Su Yitong only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and he couldn't breathe well for a while, and the whole person was lying in his arms trembling, but he couldn't move.
The carriage was moving at a rapid pace, the swaying carriage forcing the two bodies to fit closely, and she gritted her teeth, feeling her body getting colder and colder, and her consciousness gradually blurred.
"Master."
At this moment, Yun Jue suddenly called: "There is someone blocking the road in front, you sit firmly." ”
"I ......" Su Yitong's voice was still hoarse, and the words he said were also weak, "You...... The wind flies and someone is blocking the way, you ...... Let go. Su Yitong just wanted to take a breath, but suddenly felt that the body shook violently, as if he had hit something, only to hear a "bang", the horse neighed violently, and the wheel was broken into several pieces.
Yun Jue flew away at the moment when the carriage was about to hit the wall, but he was still affected by the momentum, and his chest ached.
The body shook from side to side, and Su Yitong's head inevitably hit the wall of the car. She suddenly screamed in pain, glared at Feng Feiyi sadly, and said hatefully, "There is danger." ”
As soon as the word danger was finished, the car fell to the right.
"Bang"
The afterglow of the candlelight reflected by the lantern on the street corner suddenly shook almost indiscernibly, the carriage body was torn apart in an instant, Su Yitong and Feng Feiyi fell to the ground, and rolled on the ground twice in embarrassment before stopping.
"Ahem......"
Su Yitong only felt a sweetness in her throat, and her already somewhat painful throat could no longer suppress a violent cough, but coughing, coughing, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the placket of Feng Feiyi's chest.
"Your Majesty."
At that time, the only one who could use the guards beside the two was Yun Jue. Seeing this, Yun Jue was in a hurry, and he didn't care about repelling the black-clothed man who surrounded him first, so he ran towards Su Yitong's side.
The pungent smell of blood forced Feng Feiyi's sluggish nerves to wake up for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and he was like a child, tightly confined Su Yitong's waist, and rubbed his head straight into her arms.
"Wind Wings." Su Yitong didn't know what kind of mood he was in, he was obviously angry and in pain, but when the words came to his mouth, what blurted out was a soft and delicate voice. "You let me go."
"Yun Jue, what's wrong with your master?" Su Yitong struggled to push the hand of the wind flying wings, and her little face was red under the faint candle light under the eaves.
"Master......" Yun Jue reacted slowly, stopped three steps away from the two of them, and whispered with his mouth half open: "He... It's possible that it's sick. ”
"Sick?" Su Yitong was stunned, dumbfounded, and said angrily: "Are you stupid for me?" Who is sick and will be like him......" At this, she suddenly paused, her eyes full of accusations turned under the lamp, and finally landed on Feng Feiyi's face as if nothing was there. The implicit hoarseness and shrillness of the voice softened in an instant. "Why is this happening?"
