Luo Liyao couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't know where to put her hands for a while, she only felt that it was not to push him or hug him, so she simply raised her eyes and looked at him: "Why didn't you find out before, you are like this...... Be careful!!! ”

The arrow blade that flashed with cold light broke through the wind, and it became bigger and bigger in Luo Liyao's frightened eyes.

Luo Xizheng instantly felt the chill coming from behind, but he didn't panic, he only hugged her tighter, his eyes glanced at the surroundings very quickly, and he quickly thought about it in his heart.

But Luo Liyao grabbed Luo Xizheng's arm violently and subconsciously pushed him to the side.

The arrow blade had already pierced the air and approached the two, and Yu'an and Mo Wei, who were following behind, wanted to step forward but were too late, Luo Xizheng easily ignored Luo Liyao's strength to push herself away, pressed her head in his arms, and protected her with a sudden dodge, which was able to dodge this arrow - the sharp arrow pierced into the trunk of a maple tree as thick as two people hugging, and the tail of the arrow shook a few times, making a faint roar, obviously the archer used full strength.

Luo Liyao was shocked, and suddenly thought of the scene on the day she met Ye Luoqing, but she didn't see the appearance of the feather arrow clearly, and she wasn't sure if it was the same person.

That day, it was because of the presence of the leaves that the assassin had not yet succeeded, and today he hid in the depths of this maple forest...... Presumably another planned assassination, I don't know if they can save the day this time.

The more she thought about it, the more restless she became, holding Luo Xizheng's arm tightly, burying her face in his arms, listening to his fast but incomparably stable and powerful heartbeat, but her body trembled unconsciously.

Luo Xizheng seemed to feel something, patted her on the back, and coaxed her softly: "Yao'er, don't be afraid." ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

It's not that I'm not there I'm really not scared, it's just that I think I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't want to die yet.

"Your Majesty!"

There was an exclamation of ink curtain in his ears, and Luo Liyao just wanted to raise his head from his arms, but he grabbed his waist again and flashed in the other direction.

As soon as Luo Xizheng started to move, there was another sound of arrows breaking the wind!

Luo Liyao has enough reason to believe that if Luo Xizheng's reaction just now was a little slower, this arrow would definitely be "killing two birds with one stone", and the two of them would have to waste half their lives if they didn't die.

Who exactly are they targeting? Is it Luo Xizheng or himself?

Luo Liyao stood still leaning on Luo Xizheng's body, and slowly raised her head from his arms, only to see that there were already a few more black-clothed assassins in front of her, although they couldn't see their faces with real expressions, they could intuitively feel from the weapons in their hands - a very strong murderous aura.

Mo Wei and a few secret guards hurriedly quickened their pace and blocked in front of the two.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness - are you alright?" Yu An drew the short knife at his waist, faced the group of black-clothed assassins, and made a defensive posture, but asked about their situation with some concern, "These people ......"

"This should be the reason why those forbidden troops have not returned." Luo Xizheng didn't have any weapons on him, and he didn't plan to use any weapons, so he only hugged Luo Liyao a little tighter, "Remember to leave a live mouth and take it back for interrogation." ”

"Yes!"

Ink Curtain and Yu An got the order, and directly drew their swords and fought with the black-clothed assassin.

Although Mo Wei Yu'an and others can be regarded as masters, those black-clothed assassins are obviously not idle people, and a group of people are fighting for a while, but they can't tell the difference between victory and defeat for a while.

And at this moment, another cold light hit the place where Luo Xizheng and Luo Liyao were!

This cold light did not come from the depths of the maple forest, but from the top of the two of them, and was about to go down—there was an ambush on the top of the nearest tree!

Luo Liyao only felt that the blood in her whole body had coagulated at that moment, and she was frantically shouting about the coming danger in her heart, and for a while, she only had time to grasp the clothes on Luo Xizheng's chest, and she didn't even have the courage to close her eyes.

And Luo Xizheng chuckled, his face turned pale, and when he slapped his palm on the trunk of the tree beside him-the leaves rustled, and many leaves fell, which not only disturbed the sight of the person from the tree, but also made him use this power to take Luo Liyao away from Mo Wei and Yu'an.

And Luo Liyao also saw the man's face clearly in this short moment - she was petite, her long hair was combed high into a ponytail, and she was the woman who held her out of the palace before, Qiu Yu under Yun Junze!

"Ah, it's you!"

Luo Liyao exclaimed involuntarily, and then she was afraid-Qiu Yu is here, so he must have nothing to do with Yun Junze. If it is related to Yun Junze, it must also be related to Luo Chengjun!

So this assassination ...... Was it Luo Chengjuan's instigation?

Mochizuki Tower has never found any trace of Luo Chengjuan and his party in the surrounding mountains and forests, Luo Liyao was suspicious at the time, but she also felt that people like Yun Junze should not be suspected of doing such a risky thing, who knew that they really did it!

They didn't leave Qiushui City at all, they have been hiding in this maple forest, and even let the disappearance of the medicine pickers and hunters attract the investigation of the forbidden army, and thus attract Luo Xizheng!

This is a long-planned assassination!

And Luo Xizheng obviously understood this, and even though his face sank, the fierce majesty and arrogance between his eyebrows gradually appeared: "I really underestimated their courage." ”

Luo Liyao paused, and straightened out the clothes on his chest that had just been messed up by himself

"You ......"

Luo Xizheng lowered his head slightly, but saw that her face was a little pale, so he patted her back comfortingly, and said softly in a low voice: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Hmm." Luo Liyao only nodded, but saw Qiu Yu coming towards them with a long sword, and hurriedly broke away from Luo Xizheng's embrace, "Be careful." ”

Luo Xizheng knew that she was looking for a safe place to hide so that she could have no scruples, but when the delicate body left her arms, there was still a strong dissatisfaction in her heart.

He looked coldly at Qiu Yu and the others who were attacking him, easily dodged a sword sideways, and sneered: "Originally, it was only said that Luo Chengjuan's head was not smart, but now that I look at it, Yun Junze is not much better." ”

After missing the blow, and hearing him say this about the master he regarded as a god, Qiu Yu's heart was even more murderous, and he shouted: "Today it is necessary to kill you, so that you will regret what you said!" ”

When I first saw Yun Junze that day, just looking at Qiu Yu's reaction, I knew that she admired her master very much, and even had some unspeakable affection for her master, and she definitely didn't want to hear anyone say bad things about her master.

But although she looks like a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round, after all, she is a woman whose strength is far inferior to that of men, and she has not received systematic and formal training.

Luo Liyao shook her head secretly.

She had seen Luo Xizheng's skills before, and she could snatch the Qingyun Knife from Luo Chengjuan's hands without a weapon - Luo Chengjuan was still like this, let alone the current Qiu Yu.

"Really?" Luo Xizheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had heard something extremely funny, "If you want my life, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it-"

Before he could finish speaking, the long sword in Qiu Yu's hand attacked him again, and Luo Xizheng only dodged it slightly, and slapped her shoulder by the way, forcing her back some distance.

After repeating this several times, Qiu Yu made all the killing moves, and the black-clothed assassins who followed him also attacked Luo Xizheng's vital points every time, but he was always easily dodged.

And Qiu Yu himself still has to be slapped by him alive, and among several people, no one can get close to him.

Qiu Yu was angry for a while, his eyes turned red, and his men's movements became even more chaotic.

Luo Liyao hid by the maple tree on Luo Xizheng's side, slightly stretched out her head to look at Luo Xizheng who was fighting with those people, and said in her heart that it was only a matter of time before Qiu Yu and the others were defeated, but she didn't know what role Luo Chengjuan and Yun Junze played in this assassination, and why they hadn't shown up yet.

Qiu Yu was hit in the shoulder by Luo Xizheng's palm again, this palm had more strength than before, and the sharp pain in her shoulder instantly caused her to lose some blood on her face

color, took a few steps back in embarrassment, and stared at Luo Xizheng with red eyes.

She glanced at the ink curtain and Yu'an's side again, the dark guards had already gained the upper hand, and the black-clothed assassins were constantly being slaughtered to the ground, and the originally fresh air in the maple forest suddenly filled with a faint smell of blood.

For her, that was the end of the day.

Recalling what the master had said in his mind, Qiu Yu raised his face slightly, signaling his companions to attack Luo Xizheng with all his might.

And although she also held the sword in one hand, she quietly stretched out the dagger hidden in her waist when Luo Xizheng didn't notice it.

Seeing that they still hadn't given up, Luo Xizheng was ready to fight directly to their vital point, wanting to end this ridiculous battle as soon as possible.

Several black-clothed assassins attacked together, Luo Xizheng dodged very quickly, and reflexively wanted to deal with Qiu Yu first - and Qiu Yu's long sword was tilted, it was a feint, taking advantage of the brief moment when his companions dragged Luo Xizheng back, he stabbed the dagger in his hand towards Luo Liyao next to the tree with all his strength.

"Yao'er!"

Qiu Yu's blow was extremely smart, and he shot with the determination to die, the speed was extremely fast, and Luo Liyao, who didn't know martial arts at all, had no way to dodge!

The tip of the dagger flashed with an extremely dangerous cold light, gradually dilating in her dazzling pupils, Luo Liyao only felt that she was certain to die, so she simply closed her eyes, waiting for the severe pain and death to come.

Poof!

The terrifying sound of the dagger piercing into the human body tearing flesh, the warm touch of blood splattering on her face and chest—the smell of blood that was so thick that it almost dissolved enveloped her.

And what made her sober up in an instant was a trace of the cold fragrance of sinking water that was almost so faint that it was about to be completely enveloped by the smell of blood.

It's the smell of Luo Xizheng.
