Chapter 279: Ambush
Xu Guichun behind him was startled, hurriedly stopped, and hurriedly looked at Sihan, seeing that Sihan had been standing stiffly in front of him and not speaking, Old Man Wang was stunned, and hurriedly reached out and poked Xu Guichun's back.
Xu Guichun came back to his senses at this time, glanced back at the old man Wang, and then hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively in a low voice: "Eldest princess?" ”
Sihan replied, and his heart beat wildly.
Although she is bold, she doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, and she doesn't believe in anything weird, but now the red flowers that are blooming in patches are indeed unexpected for her, and even shocked and shocked her suddenly, and her fluctuating heart is difficult to really calm down.
I remember that when I first saw this strange flower, I felt that the red patches were like a sea of blood, and now I saw it again, the light and shadow were hazy, and I felt that this flower was more and more hideous and red, abrupt and dazzling.
The man once said that this flower is a soul flower, which beckons ghosts.
Is it a sudden return with such a grand expanse, but it is also the work of the man? What, then, does the man want? Restoring this crescent moon hall so quickly, do you not like that this extravagant palace still has a scorched black place, or, for another reason, just to summon the soul, so that the ghost and soul have something to rely on?
At this point, Sihan's pupils trembled, and his whole body was numb.
Seeing that her reaction was a little wrong, Xu Guichun slightly pulled her son forward and stood next to Sihan, raised his hand slightly to hold Sihan's arm, and asked worriedly again: "Eldest princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Nothing. It's just that something suddenly came to mind, and it's just a little distracted. Sihan pressed his mind and began to open his mouth slightly.
Xu Guichun could hear the coping meaning of these words, and saw that Sihan's expression was unstable, as if she didn't want to say more, she also forcibly pressed her mind down, and it was inconvenient to ask more.
Sihan finally took his eyes off the red flower, swept his gaze around, and then did not delay any longer, and said in a low voice: "You wait here for a while, and the palace will go to the wall to take a look." ”
Xu Guichun nodded hurriedly.
Sihan forcibly calmed down, didn't say anything more, just lifted his breath slightly, his body rose suddenly, and jumped straight to the courtyard wall on the side.
The cold wind came in a torrent, and kept pulling her hair and dress, as if it was going to blow her whole body over.
Up and down the body, the cold was everywhere, and the cold couldn't help but erode the whole body, but Sihan didn't have time to put on his clothes to keep warm, so he just jumped straight up to the courtyard wall, and then cautiously lowered his eyes to look down, and saw that outside the courtyard wall under him, there was actually a courtyard wall, and the pearl in her hand scattered hazy light and shadow.
Sure enough, this crescent moon hall is indeed not far from the palace wall, and her desperate speculation this time is indeed not wrong.
For a moment, the tightness in his heart was also slightly relaxed, Sihan's pupils shrank, and then he jumped off the wall, and said to Xu Guichun in a low voice: "This courtyard wall is not far from the palace wall. The perimeter appears to be loosely guarded and unpatrolled. Come one by one, and the palace will take you out of the walls. ”
Xu Guichun and the others were slightly happy, and their pupils brightened slightly, and after a while, Xu Guichun and the old woman both said: "Eldest princess, take Quan'er out first." ”
Sihan knew that this family felt very sorry for Xu Guichun's son, but he didn't say much, just nodded indifferently at them.
Immediately, she didn't hesitate, and immediately bent down to pick up Xu Guichun's son, and then stepped down a little, and her body suddenly rose into the air.
Sihan was taken off guard for a moment, the qi that was originally lifting his breath suddenly dissipated, and he staggered a little under his feet, and he had to hurriedly return to his senses and stand still, and his body could be stabilized.
Xu Guichun and the others were startled, and Old Man Wang was already so frightened that he roared.
Sihan put down the child in his arms slightly, forcibly pressed his heart, and swept his cold and gloomy gaze towards the surroundings, and saw that among the four directions, there were layers of Jingwei holding torches, from the sea of red flowers, from the wood waste that had not yet been cleaned up, from the newly planted tree skirt, and even from the corner of the crescent moon hall.
They were black and oppressive, coming in groups, and their footsteps were thick and messy.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly felt cold, and a sudden sense of clarity also instantly swirled in his heart.
She kind of understood it at this moment. These guards came out with torches lit from all directions, and they were undoubtedly ambushed here in advance, just waiting for her to come and be caught on their own!
The fingers in her sleeve robe suddenly clenched into fists, and her heart was tumbling like a wave, undoubtedly surging with anger.
She said how she rarely met the patrolling Jingwei along the way, but unexpectedly, Xu had already fallen into someone's calculations since she set off from Surabaya Ju, so someone did not let people startle her, but when she was about to succeed, he gave her a blow to the head so grandly, completely tearing her full of hopes and plans, which caught her off guard, shocked, and even defeated.
After all, he was still able to guess her mind and calculate her just right. This feeling of being trapped and counted by others is undoubtedly irritating and maddening.
Thoughts were churning and swaying, and in an instant, Sihan frowned after all.
Xu Guichun hurriedly hugged his son into his arms, and took a few steps back with his father, his eyes full of horror and fear, and his whole body trembled.
At this moment, the Jingwei who came layer by layer had already surrounded Sihan and the others.
Those Jingwei are all resolute and hard-faced, completely fearless, as if they are well-trained and not shocked when encountering problems.
Sihan raised the corner of his eyes slightly, his eyes swept towards the people around him, and he was about to say something coldly, but before the words could be blurted out, one of the Jingwei in front of him took a few steps forward, and said respectfully to Sihan: "The night is dark, it is dark and inconvenient, and my subordinates will escort the eldest princess back to Surabaya." ”
The man said this, his voice did not have the slightest hint of coldness, and he did not even mention why Sihan and his party appeared here, as if they knew everything, but they didn't ask anything, so they said so tacitly and respectfully that they wanted to send her back.
This time it was undoubtedly deliberately put on the spot by that person!
Presumably, the man was somewhere in the dark, looking at her proudly.
Sihan knew his heart, and looked in all directions with a gloomy face, but saw that his gaze was blocked by the surrounding guards, and he couldn't look out at all.
Her pupils shrank more and more, her eyes suddenly fell towards the soldier who spoke, and she said gloomily and coldly: "Surabaya lives in this place, but this palace is not used to living. Since they are all clear-eyed people, the palace itself will no longer beat around the bush. Today's palace, the palace is decided. If your emperor is still interested in forming an alliance with the palace, then go to Xu Guichun's farmhouse and look for the palace. ”
"That's probably not right. The eldest princess Jin is noble, how can she go to live in a farmhouse. If the eldest princess doesn't like to live in Surabaya, I don't know which palace in this palace is the eldest princess's favorite? As long as the eldest princess speaks out, the subordinates can escort the eldest princess to the palace there for the eldest princess to live in. ”
The soldier replied respectfully again, and his words and deeds were orderly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Sihan said gloomily: "If you say that in this full palace, this palace doesn't like to live?" ”
The guard was not surprised at all, his face was inconvenient, and he said respectfully: "If the eldest princess doesn't like to live, I hope that the eldest princess will live in the palace for a few days, and the emperor said that he will soon attack the land of Tanglin, and when the time comes, after conquering Dongling, the emperor will let the eldest princess go to pick the Tanglin Palace." ”
Really, what a big breath!
Tanglin is still standing now, and that person actually said that he would let her pick the palace of Tanglin! I have to say that in the past, I only felt that the person was full of warmth, and his words and deeds were smooth and appropriate, although it was annoying, but he couldn't grasp the handle at all, and he couldn't pick out the thorns! But now, that man really seems to be a changed person, vigorous and resolute, hideous and crazy, and even every step of the way, as if he is targeting all the kingdoms of the world.
So, what did the man want to do?
Could it be that he is so ambitious that he wants to become the overlord of the world?
At this point, his heart trembled a few times, and Sihan's face turned slightly pale.
Jing Wei stared at her, still respectfully and harmoniously reminded, "It's cold, I hope the eldest princess will go back to Surabaya first." ”
Sihan's eyes were full of ups and downs, and he said gloomily: "How can this palace dare to pick the Tanglin Palace." Moreover, you don't have to say much about the rest of the roundabouts, tonight the palace must take Xu Guichun's family out of the palace, and you just say, do you want to retreat! ”
That Jingwei still frowned after all, and said respectfully: "The subordinates are also acting on orders, and I hope the eldest princess will not be embarrassed." ”
Sihan snorted coldly, "Since you listen to that person's words like that, in this way, you will not blame the sword of this palace for having no eyes!" Today's palace, this palace is decided! ”
As soon as these words fell, he immediately raised his hand and slashed at the empty hand of Jingwei, who spoke.
The Jingwei seemed to have been on guard for a long time, and began to dodge without being surprised.
Sihan's move was undoubtedly a false move, and after the Jingwei had completely dodged, she did not stop, and attacked straight forward, and in an instant, she had already drawn the sword at the waist of the Jingwei who was lined up in the team in front of her.
In an instant, the sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was reflected in the firelight.
Sihan's eyes were full of cruelty, and he was about to raise his sword, but at this moment, a child's heart-rending cry suddenly rose.
The fingertips of her gripping the hilt of the sword stiffened, and when she turned around, she saw that Jingwei and the rest of the people were unsheathed with their long swords, all of which were across the necks of Xu Guichun's family.
Xu Guichun's son was so frightened that he trembled and cried incessantly, his crying was terrifying and heartbreaking.
"Let them go!" Sihan couldn't suppress the yin sound.
Na Jingwei's face was calm, and he still said respectfully and peacefully: "The order of the eldest princess, the subordinates will naturally listen." It's just that before releasing people, Princess Wangchang first released her subordinates. The emperor ordered that if the eldest princess could take a step out of the palace, all the heads of her subordinates would fall to the ground. The eldest princess, the life of hundreds of Jingwei is at stake, look at the eldest princess, and let her subordinates go. ”
The man's tone was calm, but resolute and respectful.
Sihan's eyes were full of ups and downs.
It's not like she's never seen someone else's life to force people! But these Jingwei coerced Xu Guichun to force her, and even forced her to beg her with their own lives, which was undoubtedly too much.
Her gloomy gaze swept towards those Jingwei, but she didn't realize that those Jingwei were lying.
For a moment, her heart trembled, her whole body tensed, and she really didn't know what kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person she had become.
In order to keep her alone, he did not hesitate to use hundreds of lives to persecute her, such a ruthless method is undoubtedly unparalleled and extremely ruthless.
Thoughts surged, and a cold meaning rose more and more from the soles of the feet, spreading all over the body.
Her brows were furrowed, her face was hideous, and after a moment of silence, she said in a low and cold voice: "This palace does not kill Boren, it is because Boren is alive or dead, and it is not about the affairs of this palace." Your new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is cruel and unkind, if you want to save your life, you naturally do not come to ask for this palace, but you can rebel and leave the country, or leave this Chujing with this palace. You all have a way out, why should you be forced to die for the cruel man of the new emperor of the Great Zhou. ”
That Jingwei said respectfully: "My home is in Chujing, so I don't dare to act rashly." Wangchang Princess, fulfillment. The voice was a little thick, and suddenly a little distant.
Sihan came over in an instant, and his face became more and more cold.
She didn't say anything immediately, just stared at the Jingwei with cold eyes, and the two sides confronted each other.
Xu Guichun's son was already prostrated from pain, and his small body sat on the ground softly, but he was still sobbing and crying.
Xu Guichun and the others trembled and were terrified, but only a moment later, Xu Guichun strengthened his courage and said tremblingly: "It is already the luck of the people's family to meet the eldest princess in this life, and I hope that the eldest princess doesn't have to take care of the people's daughter's family anymore, and she can go out of the palace by herself." The fate of the people's daughter's family is like this, it is natural to obey fate, I hope that the eldest princess doesn't have to feel that there is anything wrong, you and the people's daughter's family met in Pingshui, and you have already rescued the people's family several times, and the people's family is dead, and she will be grateful to the eldest princess. ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes slightly, tears rained down, but he still insisted on saying heavily: "Don't take care of the people's family, go quickly." ”
These words, coming from layer to layer, into the ears, are really like turning over the river and the sea, and it is not comfortable.
Sihan's hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightened more and more, and he didn't make a sound.
Na Jingwei continued: "Hundreds of lives of Xu Guichun's family and subordinates are all in the hands of the eldest princess. Looking at the eldest princess, go back to Surabaya first. ”
As soon as these words fell, the wind around them suddenly became a little stronger, as if it was about to blow people over.
Sihan's hair was messy and flying, his clothes were flying wildly, and the sound of rattling came and went, but it inexplicably made the surroundings more and more silent.
After being silent for a long time, Xu Guichun's son was already crying hoarsely, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Sihan glanced at the child, and also glanced at Xu Guichun and the others, then raised his hand together, and put the long sword across his neck as he did last time, and then looked at the Jingwei with a cold gaze, "You are acting on orders, but you are just to send the palace back to Surabaya." But if you send back only one corpse, not only your life will be at risk, but even the lives of your relatives will be at risk. ”
That Jingwei frowned, and finally a little complexity and worry appeared on his face, "Eldest princess, don't be impulsive. ”
Sihan didn't delay any longer, "Let them go." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Jingwei remained motionless.
Xu Guichun opened his eyes again, looking at Chao Sihan sadly and helplessly, but he wanted to speak again and again, but he still didn't say anything more.
There are some things that are useless to say too much, but it will be distracting if you say too much, so what fate is, she will obey fate. If she really can't escape this catastrophe tonight, she can only say that her family is dead.
She really wants to save her family, but she can't harm others because of this. Moreover, the eldest princess of Tanglin has indeed been benevolent and righteous to their family, and she has already done her benevolence and righteousness, and she should not be too greedy, so she must not be dragged down again.
At this point, Xu Guichun lowered his eyes and closed his eyes again.
Sihan stared coldly at those Jingwei, and the long sword in his hand became closer and closer to his neck, "Don't let them go?" ”
Her voice is extremely deep and majestic, and even the coldness and murderous in her tone are equally important, giving people a sense of aggressiveness.
However, the Jingwei only frowned, but no one flinched and compromised.
After a while, Jingwei, who had spoken at the beginning, said in a low voice: "The lives of the subordinates and the lives of the eldest princess are all connected, as long as the eldest princess returns to Surabaya with her subordinates first, the subordinates will definitely put Xu Guichun's family back to Surabaya House safely." But if the eldest princess is unwilling, it is the eldest princess who has hurt herself, and her subordinates must not let Xu Guichun's family go. Since they are going to die, their subordinates and Xu Guichun's family will die with the eldest princess. ”
His voice is still full of respect, and his tone and attitude are unmistakable, but this blurted out voice is stubborn and insistent, which makes Sihan's heart more and more undulating.
These Jingwei are undoubtedly well-trained, and even in danger, or maybe they are indeed determined to die this time, and they want to confront her desperately to force her to compromise.
Her mood fluctuated extremely much, and her complexion was already gloomy and heavy.
The fingertips pinching the hilt of the sword became more and more layered and tight, and under the force, they were about to crush the hilt of the palm of their hands completely.
Gaze, little by little, glanced at Xu Guichun and a few people, and finally stared at Xu Guichun's son who had already cried and collapsed but was trembling all over.
is the same, if she forcibly escapes, not to mention whether she really escaped under the heavy soldiers, as long as she makes a move at this time, Xu Guichun and a few people will definitely fall to the ground.
Sihan froze on the spot, his thoughts were churning, and his pupils couldn't help but redden.
The Jingwei were not afraid, they still stared at her respectfully, stayed for a while, and whispered comfort again, "Ask the eldest princess, go back to Surabaya first." ”
The short voice, word by word into the ear, Sihan's fingertips were forced, the internal force surged, and in an instant, the hilt of the sword in his hand suddenly scattered like powder, and the long sword on the side of the hilt fell to the ground.
The sword slammed into the ground, making a crackling metallic sound.
