After leaving Mrs. Xiao's room, Yan Zixi was in a good mood.

Xiao Jingcong leaned over and asked with a smile, "Xi'er, you seem to be in a good mood?" ”

"That's it! You didn't see that Rong Mama's face just now, you were scared green, haha, it's so enjoyable! ”

Yan Zixi covered her smile and said to him, then glanced at Xiao Jingcong again, and said to him, "Jingcong, thank you this time." Not only did I teach that Mama Rong a lesson for me, but I don't have to suffer from her anymore in the future! ”

"Having said that, but you still have to learn your etiquette well, otherwise the mother will blame you, and I won't be able to protect you." Xiao Jingcong gently scraped the bridge of Yan Zixi's nose, and then instructed the maid Xiaoyu behind him: "Xiaoyu, did you hear what this king said?" In the future, you will teach the princess etiquette well, you know? ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly replied: "Yes, Major General, Xiao Yu remembers." Xiaoyu will definitely teach the princess to learn etiquette and live up to the expectations of the young general and Mrs. Xiao. ”

"Well, but you also remember that the practice should not be too hard, this king does not want to see the princess get hurt because of this again!"

"Yes, Major General! Xiaoyu will pay attention. ”

"Jing Cong, don't be so fierce to Xiaoyu!"

Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong had a dark face, and she was about to cry when she was about to scare Xiaoyu, Yan Zixi hurriedly walked over and comforted her.

"Xiaoyu, don't be too restrained when you follow me to serve me in the future, just like Xiaomei, I will treat you as a sister!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Zixi is very good, I feel very sorry for us people!" Xiaomei also interjected on the side.

Yan Zixi glanced at Xiaomei, and said coquettishly: "Hmph, it's a mouthful!" As long as your mouth is long, sooner or later, I will help you find an in-law to marry! ”

"Don't, don't, I'm going to serve Sister Zixi for the rest of my life!" Xiaomei stuck out her little tongue and quickly ran away, causing everyone to laugh.

After laughing, Xiao Jingcong sent Yan Zixi to the corridor, and then said to her tenderly: "Xi'er, you go back to the house first, go out of the city for your husband and then go to see the flood, monitor the rebuilding of the embankment, and see if there are still ...... people who have not been moved."

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong turned his head and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Zixi.

"Xi'er, ...... you" Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi holding her hand and asked in confusion.

Yan Zixi smiled slightly, and said, "Jingcong, I want to go with you, can you take me to see it?" ”

"No! Outside the city is unpredictable, what if you encounter any danger? ”

"Isn't that you? Your martial arts are so strong, it should be more than enough to protect me, right? ”

"This ......" Xiao Jingcong was speechless, she also knew Yan Zixi's temperament, once she decided something, she would not regret it.

Xiao Jingcong hesitated for a moment, and had to nod in response: "Okay, but you have to promise me that you must stay by my side all the time, and don't walk around alone, remember?" ”

"Uh-huh! Got it! I'm going to be by your side, I'm going to keep an eye on you, right? Yan Zixi said with a smile with a wink.

Xiao Jingcong shook his head helplessly, and then took Yan Zixi out of the Zhenguo General's Mansion together.

He called a carriage, and then helped Yan Zixi to get into the carriage together, and the carriage ran out of the city "stomping", and an hour later, the carriage arrived at the embankment outside Xicheng.

The carriage slowly stopped, Xiao Jingcong got out of the carriage first, and then helped Yan Zixi to get out of the carriage again.

As soon as Yan Zixi got off the carriage, he heard the rumbling and roaring river, and when he looked up, he saw that hundreds of strong men and soldiers with naked upper bodies were rushing to repair the river embankment.

After yesterday's round of emergency repairs, the embankment is almost repaired, and there is only about 10 meters left.

On the lower edge of the embankment, Yan Zixi saw a collapsed house that had been washed away by the flood, and now it was completely in ruins.

Xiao Jingcong walked over, pointed to the ruins of a collapsed house with her finger, and said to Yan Zixi, "Yesterday, I found Miss Xuerou there. At that time, she was lying in a puddle and dying, and when her husband saw her pity, he sent someone to rescue her, and after inquiring about her, he learned that her parents had died in the flood, so he took her back to the house......"

"Jingcong, didn't you explain it to me before? Why do you explain it again? Looks like you have a strong desire to survive? ”

Yan Zixi covered her mouth and smiled, staring at Xiao Jingcong meaningfully.

“……”

"Okay, I won't tease you, Jingcong, I'll go for a walk by the river."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, it's right down there, and I'll be back in a while."

Yan Zixi picked up her long skirt as she spoke, and walked down carefully.

She came down to take a good look at the riverbed and see why the dam had burst for no apparent reason.

Yan Zixi walked to the riverside and stood there quietly, her long red dress reflecting the surging river, as if it was like a little red among thousands of flowers. At this time, a small boat slowly swung over, Yan Zixi looked up, but found that the boat was full of black-clothed killers with their faces covered.

Oops!

Yan Zixi secretly said bad in her heart, she hurriedly turned around, and wanted to run towards the shore, but those black-clothed killers didn't wait for the boat to land, so they stepped on the waves and flew over, surrounding Yan Zixi. 14

"You ...... Who the hell are you? Yan Zixi glanced at the black-clothed people around her, and asked coldly.

"Hmph, the man who came to kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, the man in black at the head drew his knife and slashed at Yan Zixi.

"Ahhh!!hhh

Yan Zixi screamed in fright, and couldn't help but close her eyes because she was afraid.

It's over, it's over, it's over!

I don't know if it hurts to cut the knife on my body......

Before I finished thinking about it, I heard a few screams of "wow wow wow wow" ringing in my ears.

There was no pain in her heart as she had expected.

"Xi'er, are you alright?" A familiar voice came, Yan Zixi opened her eyes suddenly, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Jingcong holding a sword beside her.

"Jingcong!"

Seeing Xiao Jingcong rushing to save herself in time, Yan Zixi was pleasantly surprised, "I thought you didn't see me!" ”

"Silly girl, my eyes have always been on you, and I have never shifted my gaze."

Xiao Jingcong gently stroked Yan Zixi's forehead, and after comforting her, she immediately glanced at the black-clothed killers in front of her coldly, and asked with a hint of majesty and anger on her face.

"Say, Who sent you? Why assassinate the princess? ”

Xiao Jingcong carefully used his body to protect Yan Zixi, for fear that those killers would use some despicable means when he spoke, so he absolutely couldn't give them any chance.

The news of these people is really bright, he just left the General's Mansion with Yan Zixi, and he was targeted by these killers not long after leaving the city, it seems that the other party has been planning for a long time and is always watching.

It's a pity that Xiao Jingcong's people haven't found out yet, and after they go back, they must scold those secret guards who secretly protect Yan Zixi.

But for now, let's deal with these killers first.

It's best to leave a live mouth to ask.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong glanced at those killers with a cold gaze, and seeing that they were all silent, Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly again and said, "What, don't you want to say it?" It seems that you want to dye this rushing river red with your own blood? ”

The black-clothed killers glanced at each other when they heard this, and without saying much, they directly took out the weapons in their hands and attacked Xiao Jingcong one after another.

Those black-clad killers are specially trained, and when they make moves, they go straight to the vital point of the target, and each move is more ferocious than the other.

If it had been replaced by ordinary guards, I am afraid that I would have died at the hands of these killers a long time ago.

But who is Xiao Jingcong?

He is a peerless general who terrifies the entire Northern Liang Kingdom, and countless people have become the souls of his sword.

In terms of strength alone, these killers are indeed extraordinary, but it's a pity that they found the wrong target today.

No! It should be said that from the very beginning, they were defeated.

The vicious killing moves of the black-clothed killer went straight to Xiao Jingcong's throat, and it seemed that they wanted to put Xiao Jingcong to death.

However, Xiao Jingcong didn't give them any chance at all.

Draw the sword, make a move, break the move, and do it in one go.

The killers of those black-clothed killers were resolved by Xiao Jingcong one by one, and Xiao Jingcong was one against ten, and he didn't fall behind at all.

If he didn't care about Yan Zixi's safety, even Xiao Jingcong could easily kill these killers in an instant.

After easily solving the eight black-clothed killers, the remaining two black-clothed killers knew that this assassination had failed, and they were not Xiao Jingcong's opponents, so they retreated in their hearts.

Xiao Jingcong saw that the other party was about to run, so he hurriedly chased after him, kicked over a black-clothed killer, and the remaining one jumped into his hand with a "plop", intending to escape from the waterway. How could Xiao Jingcong let him get away so easily?

He picked up a fallen knife from the ground and slashed at it, the knife hitting the killer in the back of the neck with unmistakable accuracy, and he fell into the water, staining it red, never to get up again.

After dealing with the fleeing killer, Xiao Jingcong turned around and walked to the black-clothed killer who had just been kicked to the ground by himself, he raised his foot and stepped heavily on his body, the long sword held the opponent's neck, Xiao Jingcong asked again.

"Give you one last chance, and say, 'Who sent you?' If you are willing to confess to the behind-the-scenes instructions, maybe this king will consider letting you live. ”

"Haha, dreaming!"

The black-clothed killer directly bit the poison gall in his mouth and committed suicide by taking the poison.

Xiao Jingcong was slightly startled, he would rather commit suicide than betray his master, it seems that these killers are really extraordinary and prepared.
