It is not easy to survive in this wild and ferocious wolf pack, and more death row prisoners have directly become food for the wolves, and it will be a few years before such a person who saves his life and kills three wolves appears.

At the beginning of the "duel", the wolf howl, it was the frightened and terrible screams of the prisoners, they fled in fear and panic, but they couldn't escape the iron ring that stood high, someone tried to climb up the iron ring that was one foot high, and just halfway through the climb, they were bitten by a wolf and dragged down alive, and then they didn't even have a chance to resist, and they were bitten off by another wolf who pounced on them.

Blood, staining the duel arena red.

Fan Shenxi, who was sitting next to the emperor, seemed to be undisturbed, but in fact he couldn't see through anything at all, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was blind to the bloody scene in the field, and his fingers turned the wrench rhythmically, one time, one time, one time......

It's like a countdown, when the time comes, relying on the iron ring on the side of the royal family, there is a hole, and the head wolf who should be in the leading position in the wolf pack actually jumped out of the two-meter-high opening, and before everyone reacted, he rushed to the high platform where the royal family was, and jumped up the stone steps and rushed straight to the emperor.

At that time, the emperor was stunned, in order to make the scene more enjoyable, the wolves selected were the most powerful, not to mention this head wolf, the speed is extremely fast, it can be said that it is in front of him in the blink of an eye, at that moment, the emperor has no time to hide if he wants to.

"Father!"

At the last moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was closest to the emperor, broke through the obstacle that he could not walk and rushed over, pounced on the wolf, and knocked out the head wolf whose paws had already caught the emperor.

After the wolf kicked up on the ground, he didn't care about the prince who knocked it away, and rushed towards the emperor again, but this time the guards around the emperor reacted, drew their bows and shot arrows, and shot the head wolf into a hedgehog and fell to the ground.

Fan Shen rolled around on the ground, and before he could get up, he pointed at a certain guard guarding outside the iron fist and shouted, "Catch him!" ”

The guard immediately drew his knife and slashed the guard beside him, grabbed a group of horses, and tried to escape, but he was finally surrounded by groups, and Fan Shenxi shouted that he wanted to be captured alive, but was "mistakenly killed" by one of the guards.

The matter is not over, since one wolf jumped out of the broken opening, there will be a second, and when most of the wolves have jumped out, the ferocious wolf will not be polite to everyone, and it took a lot of effort to restrain them, but there are still casualties in the process.

The re-festival was forced to end.

……

The emperor was temporarily placed in the side hall of the Ling'an Palace, and the imperial doctor was bandaging his wounds, and before Fan Shenxi knocked the head wolf away, the head wolf had already scratched the emperor.

The emperor looked much better, leaning on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, and glaring at the concubines and sons present, but the first thing he said was not about them, but Fan Shenxi: "How is the prince?" ”

The imperial doctor said: "Imperial Doctor Lin, who examined the prince, is already waiting outside. ”

"Let him in."

Lin Zi also knelt down after coming in: "See the emperor, long live the emperor......"

"Okay, don't be so polite at this time, tell me, how is the prince, he ...... Have your legs recovered? "What the emperor wants to ask more is whether it has been recovered a long time ago.

Lin Ziyi said: "Back to the emperor, the prince was eager to save you at that time, and stimulated the instinct of the father and son's nature, so he drove his legs to act temporarily, but because of this, he opened up the meridians blocked by his legs, and it was a blessing in disguise, as long as he did a good job of rehabilitation, I believe that in the near future, the prince will be able to walk like a normal person." ”

"Yes." The emperor quietly clutched the quilt, hating it so much, and knew that Lin Zi was also likely to lie, how could the prince stimulate the nature of father and son in order to save his father? Nonsense, nonsense.

But he had no evidence, and no one could confirm whether the prince could walk before, and in order to save himself, the prince was the first to rush up and hit the wolf regardless of the danger, but it happened in front of everyone's eyes.

No matter how angry he was, he had to accept the prince's life-saving grace, he reluctantly smiled and said: "Okay, the prince, the prince is really worthy of being my prince, you tell the prince for me, let him rest well, recuperate well, and when he returns to the palace, I will definitely reward him well." ”

Subsequently, he ordered Yi Liyun to find out the real culprit as soon as possible, he would never believe that the broken iron ring was just a coincidence, and the guards who wanted to escape at that time confirmed this.

In another room, Fan Shenxi received a message from the shadow guard who was placed next to Qiu Xiaobei, and Qiu Xiaobei asked him to meet him in the forest outside the Ling'an Palace.

This is really a bit weird, but the shadow guard has repeatedly confirmed that it was Qiu Xiaobei who ordered him to say this to His Royal Highness the Prince.

But the more eccentric it is, the more Fan Shenxi has to go, and he can't afford the slightest possibility of Xiaobei being in danger.

Now that the Ling'an Palace is surrounded by guards inside and out, not letting go of any suspicious person, Fan Shenxi, as a prince who has just saved the emperor and holds most of the power himself, only said that he wanted to find out the real murderer, and the guards would let him out.

To avoid trouble, he still sat in a wheelchair, followed by two guards, and entered the forest farm.

In the words brought by Qiu Xiaobei, the location was revealed, but the specific place where they met did not say, Fan Shenxi had to find it by himself, and because of this, he could not send someone to the destination in advance to investigate.

The bird flew overhead because he was frightened, and Fan Shen steadily pushed the wheelchair towards the forest, and finally saw the figure standing in front of him, and he stopped.

Even if it's just the back, Fan Shenxi can recognize it: "Xiaobei? ”

His good eyesight allowed him to see Xiaobei, who had his back to him, trembling after hearing his voice calling her, as if excited, as if there was something else.

"Becky?" He called out again.

She finally turned around, and immediately pounced on him without seeing him as usual, she had to jump on him, there was only one possibility in this situation, there were "outsiders" around.

But even if he guessed it, he still stretched out his hand to Qiu Xiaobei, with a gentle expression: "Xiaobei, come here." ”

Qiu Xiaobei didn't move, his hands grabbed his clothes helplessly, and his eyes were full of sadness when he looked at him.

She was standing next to a tree, and at this moment, a person suddenly turned out from behind the tree, and put the sword in his hand across Qiu Xiaobei's neck, the person was dressed in black and wrapped himself in black until he was only able to look at his eyes, and at the same time, several people in black in the same costume jumped from the tree, surrounding Fan Shenxi and his two personal guards.

"His Royal Highness the Prince," the leader who held Qiu Xiaobei hostage said sarcastically, "I used to think you were a character, but I didn't expect you to be sad about the beauty pass." ”

Fan Shenxi didn't even look at the people surrounding them, only stared at Qiu Xiaobei's people who held her hostage, his eyes were cold: "Let go of her!" ”

"Hehe, I heard you right, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordering me? Come, brothers, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a good understanding of what his current situation is! ”

The man in black didn't say much, he picked up the knife, and the two guards blocked Fan Shenxi's side, they could become Fan Shenxi's personal guards, and their skills would naturally not be bad, but they wanted to protect people, and the man in black had no scruples, the knife fought with his life, and there were many people, and soon, the two guards had a flaw, and at the same time they were injured, a man in black approached Fan Shenxi.

But he didn't get a good deal, the sword that was stabbed out was caught by Fan Shenxi's fingers, and it was directly broken, and then a palm was struck, and the man in black flew out of the distance, Fan Shenxi then hit the ground with both feet, and flew up with the help of the force, and went straight to Qiu Xiaobei, the man in black grabbed Qiu Xiaobei with one hand, and raised his sword with the other hand to try to resist, but Fan Shenxi flashed, and held his wrist, forcing him to turn around, the long sword did not stab Fan Shenxi, and injured him himself.

The leader was injured and retreated, and Qiu Xiaobei was held in Fan Shenxi's arms, holding her hand and rubbing her arm to comfort her.

The leader stood up, and his eyes were a little surprised and shocked: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be not crippled." ”

Fan Shenxi straightened Qiu Xiaobei's clothes that were a little messy by the leader, and said indifferently: "Even if this palace is really a cripple, it will be more than enough to deal with you." ”

"Really?"

With the leader's rather strange words, Qiu Xiaobei, who had been leaning peacefully in his arms since he was rescued, suddenly stabbed him in the stomach with a knife.

Fan Shen grabbed her arm in amazement, looked down at the only remaining knife handle on his stomach, then raised his head and stared at Qiu Xiaobei in disbelief: "Why, why?" ”

"Hehehe...... Hahahaha......" The leader went from chuckling to laughing, full of mockery, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't expect you to have today, I said that those who want to be emperors must first learn to be ruthless, don't you understand?" ”

Fan Shenxi didn't look at him, didn't refute, only slowly lowered his head amid his merciless ridicule.

The two guards on the other side also fell to the ground, and the rest of the black-clothed people followed the leader towards Fan Shenxi, first of all, they had to make sure that Fan Shenxi was really dead, and secondly, Fan Shenxi's corpse was useful, such as the face, any features on the body, if you want another Fan Shenxi to appear, these are indispensable.

But just as the leader was the first to approach, praising Qiu Xiaobei for "doing a good job", and when he stretched out his hand to touch Fan Shenxi, Qiu Xiaobei, who seemed to be immersed in his grief, suddenly turned his head and grinned at him in the leader's stunned gaze: "I give you a gift." ”

The leader didn't understand what she meant, but the instinct of years of life and death tests made him realize that something was wrong, but it was too late, and there was a sudden weakness in his body, and he knelt down as soon as his knees weakened.

He realized that he was poisoned, but he often came and went in the water and fire, and he didn't know when he was poisoned, what kind of poison he was in, and he didn't know anything before he attacked.

Not only him, but all the men in black who surrounded him fell to the ground.

Qiu Xiaobei turned around and "pulled" out the dagger inserted in Fan Shenxi's stomach, and the leader who was close to found that the dagger only had a handle, not a blade at all, that is...... The leader's gaze suddenly moved up, and sure enough, he saw Fan Shenxi raise his head and look at him coldly and disdainfully.

The leader's gaze turned to Qiu Xiaobei, and he was angry: "You, you are actually ......"

"If you are allowed to coerce me into betraying Shen Xi, I am not allowed to deceive you?" Qiu Xiaobei picked up the long sword on the ground, and his face was covered with frost.

What she couldn't bear the most was that the task they assigned to her was actually to hurt Fan Shenxi.

"No wonder, no wonder the target of the wolf when he rushed out was not the prince, but the emperor, and you were afraid that the medicine powder that lured the wolf was sprinkled on the emperor?"

"I don't have that much ability to get close to the emperor." Qiu Xiaobei said, came to the leader, raised his sword and was about to stab down.

All the men in black here today must die!

However, the sword failed to touch the man in black, so Fan Shenxi took the lead, threw out the soft sword on his waist, and cut the throat of the man in black.

Before the leader died, he always had unwillingness in his eyes, and stared at Fan Shenxi and said the last words of his life: "You just believe it, she ...... it"

"Heavy?" Qiu Xiaobei held the sword, looking stunned.

Fan Shenxi took the sword in her hand away, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands for her: "Since you are afraid of those things, such a thing as killing people will be left to me." ”

Don't do this kind of thing that will dirty her hands.

After the two guards wiped the necks of all the black-clothed people who fell to the ground, they stepped aside and watched, without disturbing the masters to talk about love.

Qiu Xiaobei looked down at his hand that had been wiped clean, and with a backhand, he clasped his hand: "It's not good if it's too clean." "If there is a heaven and a hell, what is the use of her wanting this clean, it is better to be stained with his evil spirit, fierce spirit, and go to hell with him.

Fan Shenxi smiled at her, and when Qiu Xiaobei couldn't help laughing, he patted her on the head, she said "ah", looked at Fan Shenxi with resentment, Fan Shenxi hooked his mouth coldly, and pinched her cheek: "Do you want to explain to me first, how did the medicinal powder that should have been placed on me get to my father?" ”

Xiaobei, who dared to stare at him just now, was instantly stunned, and shouted timidly and vaguely: "It hurts, it hurts, you let go first, let go first." ”

Even if he knew that she was just screaming louder, Fan Shenxi still let go of her cheeks: "Hurry up, be honest." ”

"Don't you already know everything," Qiu Xiaobei covered his cheeks, "Didn't you secretly read the secret letter I hid on my body that night." ”

"Reasonable?" Fan Shenxi rubbed his fingers, and wanted to pinch it again, "I didn't dare to say it, so I pretended to be drunk and let me see it myself?" Qiu Xiaobei, you're really out of luck. ”

Qiu Xiaobei smirked.

"Come on, how did you get the medicine on my father?"

Qiu Xiaobei lowered his head and looked at his toes: "It's, it's the same as last time." ”

Last time? That time did the emperor lose his heart and go crazy?

Fan Shenxi couldn't hold back, and pinched the other side of her face: "Didn't you promise me that there would be no next time?" ”

"No, no, there really won't be a next time this time." She begged for mercy quickly, "Not really. ”

"Heh~" Fan Shenxi smiled so hard that people's hearts rippled, "It's really gone?" ”

"Really, really."

He smiled: "It's useless, you have no credibility at all." He grabbed her by the face, pinched her to himself, put his hand around her, and kissed her angrily.

The guards ran over at this time: "Your Highness, Yi Liyun is about to search here with someone." ”

Fan Shenxi's face did not change, only when he lifted his eyes, sharp energy flashed in his eyes, his thumb wiped his face that was pinched a little red by him, and said to Qiu Xiaobei: "If it's okay, go back first, I'll wipe your ass and go to see you at night." ”

"Oh." Qiu Xiaobei suddenly thought of something, and leaned into his ear in a ghostly manner, "One day, you really wipe my buttocks." ”

When Fan Shenxi's eyes darkened, she quickly ran away, turned around and smiled and waved to him, and went into the woods, and the shadow guard in the shadows quietly followed.

Fan Shenxi couldn't hold back his serious face and chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and when he turned around, he glanced at the leader of the man in black lying on the ground.

How could this person understand that between him and Qiu Xiaobei, it has never been a matter of trust or distrust, his belief is that once he dies, she will not be able to live, and until she dies, she will have to be entangled with herself.

Even if it's a paranoid and perverted idea, so what?

He tossed his clothes and hair a little bit, then slowly walked to the wheelchair and sat down gently.

When Yi Liyun came, what he saw was a rather tragic scene, Fan Shenxi's two personal guards were wounded and stained with blood, and they looked like they had experienced a struggle.

The commander hurriedly ran to Fan Shenxi and knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, how are you?" What's going on? ”

Fan Shen Xi calmly faced: "Bengong always felt that what happened today was weird, so he wanted to come out to find clues, but he ran into an assassin, fortunately, when Bengong was marching and fighting, he met a chivalrous knight who was chivalrous and righteous, not only to help defend against foreign enemies, but also to give Bengong a pack of Sangong powder, it was this pack of Sangong powder that saved Bengong's life just now." ”

Yi Liyun pleaded guilty: "It's too late for a humble job." ”

"The assassin is menacing, and his father was scratched by the wolf, and the other party is clearly coming for his father and the palace, General Yi, you must check it out for the palace."

"Yes. Let the lowly send someone to send His Highness back first, right? ”

Fan Shenxi did not refuse, and took his own soldiers and Yi Liyun's people back to the Ling'an Palace.

Yi Liyun, who was left behind, checked the bodies of the people in black, confirmed that they should have been drugged or something, and then let people wipe their necks, which was consistent with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not a simple person, but for the assassin assassinating him, Yi Liyun did not suspect that the prince was lying, but the prince must have hidden something else.

But no matter what the prince was hiding, it was a fact that someone wanted him to die.

……

"Eh, girl, have you heard? The day before yesterday, the emperor and the prince were assassinated? ”

During the renovation of the store, Qiu Xiaobei came to supervise the work, and when she met Sister Zhao when she went out, she came with her, she was nothing, holding the melon seeds and watching from the side, by the way, she told Qiu Xiaobei about the gossip she heard, of course, it was about the emperor and the prince, she said it in a suppressed voice.

Qiu Xiaobei was looking at the architectural drawings of this era, because it was different from her "hometown", she needed to ponder and ponder, and she was studying it attentively, and she didn't care about what Sister Zhao said she had known for a long time, and asked casually: "That's it, it's okay, right?" ”

"I don't know if there's anything going on, but I heard that the assassin's mastermind hasn't been found yet." Sister Zhao spit out the melon seed shell, "I don't know who it will be, I am so bold that I dare to attack the emperor and the prince at the same time." ”

As soon as she said this, she suddenly rushed into a group of officers and soldiers.

"You, what are you doing, this shop hasn't opened yet, hey, what are you doing!" Sister Zhao got up and shouted at the officers and soldiers, who knew that the officers and soldiers ignored her at all, and went straight to Qiu Xiaobei, and chained Xiaobei's hands.

Qiu Xiaobei was quite calm, she looked at the officers and soldiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, am you mistaken, I'm just an ordinary person, I just came to Kyoto, and I haven't done anything, don't arrest people indiscriminately." ”

"Yes, yes." Sister Zhao came to her side anxiously to explain to her, "This girl just came, and her family is doing some small business. ”

"Bad guys can write on their faces." The officers and soldiers pushed Sister Zhao away and said to Qiu Xiaobei, "It's you who caught you, come with us." ”

Then he no longer listened to any explanation from Qiu Xiaobei and Sister Zhao, and dragged it away.

The work at hand of the craftsmen stopped, and gathered around Sister Zhao, who was standing at the door looking at the officers and soldiers in the distance, and Xiaobei, who looked extremely weak among the officers and soldiers, was very anxious.

"What's going on, why did you arrest the owner?"

Sister Zhao twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and had her own answer in her heart, it must be that Baicaotang somehow knew that Qiu Xiaobei was going to open a pharmacy, so she made a plan to let Xiaobei's sister be arrested by the officers and soldiers.

Oh, I told Xiaobei a long time ago not to open a pharmacy, she just didn't listen, now it's okay, I didn't arrest it, what can I do?

"Sister Zhao, you said that the owner has been arrested, so we, should we continue to repair here?"

Sister Zhao herself knows what to do: "Then why don't you go back to ...... first?"

"Of course," said a woman, walking in and facing the craftsman, "you will do what you should do, and the wages will be paid, and I will come to see it from time to time during the owner's absence." "So don't try to be lazy and cut corners.

"Is that you?" Sister Zhao recognizes her, isn't she the big girl next to Qiu Xiaobei, who has more aura and temperament than ordinary slaves, if it weren't for her dedication to Xiaobei, Sister Zhao would have thought that this big girl was the daughter of a big family.

Jing'an smiled at Sister Zhao, nodded, and then turned to the craftsmen again: "You can start." ”

As she spoke, she put the two big ingots on the table, and the craftsmen looked at them and hurried back to work, no matter who this person was, as long as they could pay the wages.

Sister Zhao hesitated and came to Jing'an's side: "This, your wife ...... her"

"Mrs. Zhao don't worry, my wife will be fine, my young master is not a vegetarian, Jing'an is here, thank you for Mrs. Zhao's concern first." Jing'an blessed Sister Zhao.

……

Main Hall:

Fan Shenxi pushed the wheelchair into the study unhurriedly, and there were the emperor, Zhou Guifei, the prime minister, and Lord Zhou, he didn't look at the others, and bowed to the emperor: "See my father, my father said, the last assassin's matter has an eyebrow?" ”
