Chapter 429: Assassination
Hangzhou Mansion is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and as soon as Du Yan and Xiao Yechen and their party came here, they immediately walked to the most prosperous place in the local area.
The sun has been very good these days, but the rainy Jiangnan in the past has become a different look, the sun is shining, Du Yan and Xiao Yechen are quite idle, wandering freely on the street.
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of people here, you and the queen should pay attention."
Leng Yan stood aside, seeing that the crowd around him was getting more and more crowded, and his face couldn't help but have a trace of anxiety, after all, this place is in Jiangnan, not like in the capital, once he senses that something is wrong, he can immediately transfer soldiers and horses to escort him.
When they came to Jiangnan, their itinerary had been concealed, and some people didn't know that they had arrived in Hangzhou, in case there were assassins secretly ambushing, but they were the only ones who could escort them.
Therefore, Leng Yan is heart is lifted, and he has been paying attention to the surrounding scene.
I don't know what kind of custom this is, I only saw that the people around her had masks on their faces, Du Yan only felt very moved in her heart, and looked at Xiao Yechen with a pair of big eyes, her eyes were full of expectation.
In the face of Du Yan's eyes, Xiao Yechen couldn't say the words of refusal no matter what, so he smiled, bought a mask similar to the people around him from the street on the side, and the two of them brought it together.
However, Xiao Yechen kept an eye on it, and what he brought to Du Yan was the most dazzling red.
"Night dust."
Du Yan only felt that her hand was firmly grasped, and she looked at Xiao Yechen at the moment, her eyes were full of surprise.
"It's crowded here, and if I don't grab your hand, I'm afraid I'll be swept away by the crowd."
Hearing what Xiao Yechen said, Du Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly had a shy look on her face, and she said in a low voice: "Okay." ”
The two held hands, and Bai Lu and the others behind them all showed tacit smiles when they saw this scene.
"Your Majesty! Be careful! ”
Leng Yan suddenly said loudly.
Seeing the crowd walking on the side, Leng Yan immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately firmly protected Xiao Yechen, while Du Yan was blocked by Bai Lu.
I saw several masked people in front of me, and it was getting closer and closer to them.
And Du Yan and Xiao Yechen both had masks on their faces, and for a while, they confused their sight, and while Leng Yan was anxious, he didn't dare to leave Xiao Yechen.
"Go to Yan'er's side!"
Xiao Yechen obviously noticed that something was wrong, he immediately became anxious, looked at Du Yan on the side, but there was a surge of anger in his eyes, he shook off Leng Yan's hand to protect him, and turned around and walked towards Du Yan.
He knew that there was danger at the moment, and there was already an undercurrent around him, but in the face of such a situation, he still couldn't let go, so he could only want to go to Du Yan's side and protect her firmly.
"Yan'er."
Xiao Yechen looked down at Du Yan, he was very glad that he had just acted, but fortunately, the mask he had just chosen was extremely conspicuous, allowing him to see Du Yan at a glance in the crowd.
At this time, several people wearing masks around had already rushed up
Come, they went against the current in the crowd, with a very clear purpose, and they all stared at Du Yan and Xiao Yechen who were standing together.
Shen Tao was in the middle of the masked people, he glanced at the people on the side, and after the meeting, several people on the side moved one after another, and in the dim light, the daggers in their hands glowed with cold light.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Yechen's heart suddenly hung up, and he could only temporarily stabilize his mood by holding Du Yan's hand tightly.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the masked man on the side draw his sword and stab, Xiao Yechen moved neatly in his hand, pulled out the soft sword on his waist, and a few neat sword flowers, killing this person under the sword.
Du Yan's hands did not stop moving, she and Xiao Yechen cooperated seamlessly, and many assassins stopped beside them, and they could not take a step forward.
The movement here quickly caused turmoil, and it was the time when there were many people, and many people went forward in a panic, so only the people brought by Xiao Yechen and Du Yan were left to confront those assassins.
The assassin stared closely at the few people in front of him, obviously there were many of them, but they were beaten by these people and couldn't get closer, such a scene made many people scared in their hearts.
Shen Tao obviously noticed the vacillation of these subordinates, he covered his chest, suppressed these pains, turned to the group of subordinates and said, "If you can't kill this dog emperor under the sword today!" How to be worthy of the kindness of adults before? ”
He also deliberately used his internal strength to speak, and all his subordinates heard it, thinking of Cheng Yuan's kindness to them, no matter how afraid he was in his heart, at the moment, he could only put all his thoughts on Xiao Yechen's body in front of him.
And Shen Tao's words naturally came into Xiao Yechen's ears, and after hearing this, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and then looked at Shen Tao and the others, and had a guess in his heart.
I'm afraid that this is the dead soldier of the Cheng family, and this Cheng family is really a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen!
Before he had time to think about it, he saw that several assassins on the opposite side ignored the sword blocking of the secret guard in front of them, and successfully entered Xiao Yechen and Du Yan by injuring the enemy by injuring 1,000 enemies and inflicting 800 self-damage.
But Xiao Yechen obviously wouldn't be so easily succeeded by them, and in the flicker of a few sword lights, these dead soldiers had all fallen to the ground, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Seeing this, Shen Tao was about to go alone to assassinate Xiao Yechen, but a person suddenly appeared behind him and said in his ear: "You are different from them, Miss still needs you, you must not be fine!" ”
As he spoke, the man actually blocked directly in front of Shen Tao, and received a sword stabbed by Leng Yan.
Seeing this, Shen Tao's eyes were cracking, but thinking of this person's words, he could only grit his teeth and leave this place.
Leng Yan was about to catch up, when Xiao Yechen's voice came from behind him.
"Leng Yan, don't chase anymore."
Xiao Yechen's eyes were full of coldness, he looked in the direction where Shen Tao left, and looked at Leng Yan's puzzled gaze, before he could speak, Du Yan had already explained: "That person just mentioned the Cheng family, I think it should be the dead of the Cheng family." ”
"Cheng ......"
When Du Yan said this, he was cold
understood, only looked at Xiao Yechen in front of him, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, why don't you let your subordinates go down to track them down, so that you can catch them all." ”
"Not necessarily." Xiao Yechen looked into the distance, his eyes were as dark as night, "I didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoyan and others would go to Jiangnan, I always thought that Cheng Xiaoyan was with Xiao Wenqing, but now it seems that the trip to Jiangnan should be more cautious." ”
Just when Leng Yan and the others were cleaning up the scene, a team of officers and soldiers hurriedly rushed over, they were all ordinary officers and soldiers, and now they saw this extraordinarily bloody scene, and their faces were a little ugly.
"Who are the thieves doing here?"
The person at the head had an ugly face, tried not to look at the miserable situation underground, and looked at Xiao Yechen with a pale face.
When he saw Xiao Yechen's extraordinary clothes and bearing, coupled with his handsome appearance, he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, this person's bearing was better than their prefect, isn't it......
Thinking of the rumors a few days ago, his heart tightened.
