Chapter 20: Assassination
Outside the capital, horse-drawn carriages slowly advance on the pipes.
Xu Jiashi Xu was frightened today and the bump of the carriage, and before he left the city gate, he fell asleep in the carriage because of discomfort.
Bai Ying sat next to Xu Jiashi and lifted the curtains to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.
As the carriage moved further and further, the scene in front of him became more and more expansive.
Rows of trees and endless grass on the official road were like nothing she had ever seen before.
For the first time in more than a decade, she had stepped out of the city gates.
It turns out that the outside world is so spacious, it is no longer as simple as being surrounded by castle towers and having a narrow sky.
Bai Ying's body has not fully recovered, and now she has been riding in a carriage for more than an hour, even a person who is beaten with iron can't stand it, let alone a sick and weak woman like her.
"Banxia, remember to call me if you arrive."
She didn't forget to tell her for a while while before she closed her eyes.
Banxia replied while arranging her clothes: "The slave knows, Miss, you have a good rest." ”
She nodded slightly, leaning on the carriage to close her eyes and rest.
Bai Yinggang, who was extremely tired, had fallen asleep shortly after closing his eyes, and his sleeping appearance made Banxia have to take down his work.
She carefully took care of the two masters, and did not forget to fan the wind in her hands, so as not to let the stuffy air in the carriage make the master rest.
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely quiet, and the carriage that had been moving suddenly stopped.
Is this the end of it?
Didn't the Thirteenth Master say that it would take at least two hours? It's only been a little over an hour.
Banxia felt strange and was about to open the curtain to check what was going on, but there was a sound of fighting outside the carriage.
At the moment, she disliked the curtain, and what caught her eyes was the guards and the men in black fighting.
The groom, who was standing on the side guarding the carriage, saw her poke her head out, and he turned back to her while guarding against the man in black not far away, and said, "You let the lady and the young lady stay in the carriage well, and don't come out." ”
Banxia, who had never seen a bloody scene since she was a child, was stupid at the moment, and if it weren't for the horseman repeatedly reminding her to go back to the carriage and not come out, she would probably have been stunned.
Bai Ying, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of the groom.
She straightened up, reached out and rubbed her eyes, looked at Banxia sleepily, and said, "What's going on?" ”
No sooner had she said than a heavy object slammed into the carriage.
The sudden impact made her almost fall, and Xu Jiashi, who had woken up because of the noise, immediately woke up because of the impact.
Seeing Xu Jiashi wake up, Bai Ying finally stabilized her body and hurriedly stepped forward.
She helped Xu Jiashi and said, "Mother, are you okay?" ”
Xu Jiashi sat down again, grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "I'm fine." Ying'er, what the hell is going on? ”
Banxia, who had already been frightened, saw that his wife and young lady had woken up, and hurriedly stepped forward and said inarticulately: "Little, miss, a group of black-clothed people have come outside, and they are fighting with the thirteenth master." ”
Men in Black? Vicious?
At this moment, Bai Ying didn't think of hiding in fear, but anxiously lifting the curtains in the carriage.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, just looking at it makes her know what blood tastes like.
The blood that rushed to her face hit the carriage directly, and because the curtain was lifted by Bai Ying, a lot of blood flew directly to her face.
The man in black, who had been blocking her view, fell to the ground as blood splattered.
She looked ahead in horror, and the scene of Uncle Thirteen collecting his sword was reflected in her eyes.
Uncle Xu is thirteenth noticed that someone was watching in the car window, and raised his eyes to meet her eyes.
When the thirteenth uncle, who still had a bloodthirsty look, saw that it was her, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he gently reminded: "Stay in the carriage, good!" ”
The tone was light, not at all in line with the current situation.
At this time, the thirteenth uncle Bai Ying had never seen it.
His snow-white clothes were already stained with blood, which was very eye-catching, and the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, and the blade of the sword shone coldly in the sunlight.
Seeing such a thirteenth uncle, where would Bai Ying stay in the carriage obediently.
Because she found out that the blood on Uncle Thirteen's body was not someone else's, it was his!
"What did you say to keep me in the carriage, can you make me turn a blind eye like this?"
After saying this, Bai Ying ignored Xu Jia's and Banxia's obstruction, jumped out of the carriage directly, bent down and snatched the sword in the hand of the man in black who fell to the ground, and stabbed at the thirteenth uncle with all his strength.
Facing the sword she stabbed, Cangshu smiled, his tone was full of pampering, and said, "Ying'er, the way you hold the sword is not beautiful at all!" ”
As the words fell, his body turned sideways, and the sword that was originally flying towards him pierced the heart of the man in black behind him.
Bai Ying watched the black-clothed mouth vomit blood, and then fell straight behind him.
She patted the dust on her hands, panted and looked at the thirteenth uncle in front of her, and said unhappily: "This is what you forced me to show, then don't try to get rid of me!" ”
Although she is not proficient in martial arts, as Xu Jiang's daughter, how can she not be able to defend herself?
It's just that the scene just now really frightened her, so much so that it took a lot of effort to stab the sword out.
Cangshu walked straight to Bai Ying with a smile on his sword, his snow-white boots stepped directly on the corpse of the man in black, walked to her side, his tone was full of tenderness and worry, and said, "Naturally, I won't dislike it, but didn't this king just let you stay in the carriage obediently?" ”
Bai Ying glanced at him and reached out to gently caress his abdomen.
The viscous blood made her feel nauseous, and if it wasn't for the tension in her heart, it is estimated that she would have fainted at this time.
She glared at him, and finally said viciously, "You're already hurt, and you think I can't see it?" ”
As the words fell, she glanced around and saw that the guards were still fighting the men in black.
"Uncle Thirteen, who are these people, and why did they assassinate us?"
"Not to assassinate you, but to assassinate the king!"
Cangshu said this, swinging his sword and stabbing at the man in black who rushed up.
He pulled out the body of the man in black with his sword, observed the situation at this time, and said: "Their target is only this king, this king leaves first, you take Mrs. Xu to flee quickly, and then wait for this king in the garden!" ”
Bai Ying, who heard this, immediately rejected his proposal, "You are not allowed to leave alone, if something happens to you, I will be unhappy in the future, and I will find someone to be angry with." ”
These words caused Cangshu to smile happily.
Does this mean that Ying'er is more interested in him?
This sudden assassination caught everyone off guard.
Bai Ying found that even the thirteenth uncle, who had always been calm, had no chance of winning at this moment.
She began to regret why she didn't bring Shen Yi and Meng Han with her on this trip, otherwise she could still help Uncle Thirteen.
Now even Uncle Thirteen is injured, and the man in black looks like he is looking at death, and their chances of winning are very few!
"Then you will follow this king!"
Saying this, Cangshu directly hugged her, and jumped directly onto the tree pole on the top with light skills.
Bai Ying, who had just stood firmly, heard the thirteenth uncle beside her gasp, and she also noticed that the wound on the thirteenth uncle's abdomen oozed a lot of blood.
In such a situation, it is obviously not possible to escape with her alone.
But the thirteenth uncle is like this, how can she rest assured.
Xu was aware of her worries, Cangshu wiped the blood that overflowed from the corners of his mouth, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if this king is still. Now you're going to have to put your arms around the king's waist! ”
Hearing this, Bai Ying hugged him without hesitation, but did not forget to avoid his wounds.
The black-clothed man at the bottom probably found that there was no Atractylodes and began to look around.
After seeing them on the tree, Cangshu didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly fled into the distance with Bai Ying in his arms.
Seeing that his master had left, Basil turned around and killed three more men in black, and then quickly ran back to the carriage.
He took out his darts and threw them at the men in black who were chasing his master.
With a swish, all the men in black who were still flying between the branches fell from a height, but one was missed, allowing them to escape.
Then he quickly dealt with the few black-clothed people present, and after putting away his sword, he turned to Xu Jiashi in the carriage and said, "Mrs. Xu, all the black-clothed people have been eradicated, and you are safe now." ”
Hearing this, Xu Jiashi hurriedly got out of the carriage, and when she saw the corpses everywhere, she was so frightened that she covered her eyes and screamed.
This visual impact was obviously no match for her concern for Bai Ying, she swept around and found that not only did she not see Bai Ying's figure, but she didn't even see King Mu's figure.
Her Ying'er encountered such a thing shortly after she woke up from a coma, and now that the ground is full of blood, should she ......
Thinking of this, Xu Jiashi immediately grabbed Basil's clothes and said, "Where is Ying'er going?" Tell me! ”
"Please rest assured, madam, that the daughters are safe with their masters, but they still have things to do, so they can't go to the garden with you. So now I will escort you to the garden. ”
Faced with what Basil said, Xu Jiashi looked incredulous.
encountered an assassination when she went out, how could such an encounter reassure her?
Although he is on the official road at this time, he can't go back to the village or the store before him, and he can't go back immediately if he wants to return.
And she went back to the Xu Mansion like this, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Ying'er was not in front of her at the moment, she didn't know her situation, and the worry in her heart couldn't be dissipated for a long time.
And the guards in front of him have been following King Mu on weekdays, and what they say should be credible.
Now that things have come to this point, she can't say anything more, so she has to nod.
On the other side, Bai Ying hugged Cangshu's waist tightly and quickly shuttled between the trees.
She looked at the black-clothed man behind her who was persistently chasing them, and she couldn't help but sweat for Uncle Thirteen.
Now they don't know where they are, let alone someone will come to save them.
She had never encountered such a situation standing on the edge of a knife.
Or would she stay and drag the man in black so that Uncle Thirteen could have a chance to escape?
"Ahh
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly screamed.
