Chapter 307: He Ran Away
Yu Ran didn't wait for Murong Lin and Nangong Xiyu to speak, and walked straight towards the two. Her gait was steady, her expression calm, and she didn't seem to waver.
I saw that Murong Lin first quickly helped Nangong Xiyu to sit down, and then grabbed the long sword he had brought all the way from the side at the next moment, and then pointed at Yu Ran fiercely.
Seeing this scene, Yu Ran's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a slight look on her face that seemed to be smiling, she hooked her lips and said, "Even if you take a sword against me, it is useless, because you can't beat me." β
"You're just a woman, how can this palace be afraid of you!" Except for Murong Lin's little scheming and courage when he wanted to keep his position as the crown prince, his natural cowardice and good worries were directly magnified infinitely under this situation.
Tamarin smiled lightly, "But your hands are shaking." "Tamazoan is telling the truth.
Murong Lin was stunned by Yu Ran's words, and his eyes also looked at his right hand and right arm holding the sword at the same time, and found that he was indeed trembling slightly.
Not because of anything else, but because of the innate compelling aura of the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but have the intention of retreating.
"Who the hell are you?" Murong Lin wrinkled his eyebrows and said.
Yu Ran smiled, and said with a deep gaze: "If you stop here again, then she will die." Yu Ran raised his chin and motioned in the direction of Nangong Xiyu.
"What did you say?" Murong Lin was surprised.
This time, Yu Ran no longer responded to Murong Lin, but walked over directly. The two fingers of her left hand lightly pressed against Murong Lin's long sword, forcing him to drop the blade. And the next moment, she crossed Murong Lin and walked to Nangong Xiyu.
Yu Ran slowly squatted down, and his eyes met Nangong Xiyu's eyes. Then, she took out a white jade porcelain bottle from her sleeve, lifted the lid, and poured out a small grayish pill from it, "Eat it." β
Nangong Xiyu looked at the woman in front of her, and for a while she was staring at the woman's face a little distracted.
Yes, an inexplicably familiar feeling, this feeling lingers in my heart, and I can't get rid of it.
It wasn't until Nangong Xiyu re-met the woman's eyes that she found that the woman's eyes no longer had the sharp and cold feeling just now, but only fell into a pitch black and deep place.
These eyes......
Nangong Xiyu's expression was sudden, because she seemed to think of another person, and also remembered another pair of eyes with almost similar expressions, the same pitch black and bottomless, the same quiet and unattainable.
"Are you ......" Nangong Xiyu said with some hesitation.
Yu Ran didn't deliberately hide it, she just handed over the medicine and continued: "Take this antidote first, the medicine you took at the banquet before is quite effective in preventing most of the poison, so you don't fall down directly now, but can talk to me soberly." β
Hearing the woman say this, Nangong Xiyu also woke up. Sure enough, the person in front of him was ......
Of course, Nangong Xiyu obediently ate the antidote first, and then slowly spoke: "Qiu ......" Just when she had just opened her mouth to read a word, she suddenly saw the woman's slightly suggestive eyes, so she immediately turned to say: "Thank you." β
"No, it won't." Tamaran smiled casually, then stood up. Turning around, Yu Ran saw Murong Lin staring at her, "Prince Murong, my name is Nanyu, and I am the hidden guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's just that I was sent by the king to follow and protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, so Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't know me. β
Nanyu is the name, she still used it after all. After all, it happened suddenly, and she couldn't think of any other name for a while.
However, when it comes to the name Nanyu, it is really appropriate to use it at this time. It's as if Nangong Xiyu's name is pieced together from the beginning and the end, as if the jade dye is really Nangong Xiyu's hidden guard.
"I see." Murong Lin saw that Nangong Xiyu's face had improved after taking the antidote, so he believed what Yuran said.
"Princess, this place is not suitable for a long time, the assassins outside will soon find here, we have to leave, can you still walk?" Yu Ran suddenly leaned down and smiled Nangong Xiyu stretched out his hand.
Nangong Xiyu was stunned, but the next moment, she took Yuran's hand without hesitation, and then slowly stood up.
Yu Ran clasped his hand on Nangong Xiyu's wrist, and then looked at Murong Lin, "Prince Murong, let's go." β
"But...... Is it really okay for us to go out now? Let's go out now, in case there happens to be an assassin outside......" Murong Lin hesitated.
Yuran's eyes deepened, and his expression suddenly became a little colder, "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
Murong Lin was stunned by Yu Ran's cold expression, and he didn't respond.
"Prince Murong, you don't seem to know your current situation, right? Now, it's not just you who is missing, it's the princess. The Assassins killed all your squires and maidservants, and only the two of you escaped were not found. In other words, those who arrived later did not know what had happened after the banquet.
"And more importantly, someone has already found a warrant on one of the assassins with the seal of His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Huaguo, so no matter what, this matter has nothing to do with Huaguo. And Prince Murong, you are the crown prince of Huaguo, that is to say, there is also the possibility of plotting to kill the envoys of the Shang State together. And if it is found that you and the princess are now in the same place, and you are alone in this cave for a night, then the princess's reputation will be ruined in the hands of Prince Murong, and in the end, Huaguo will not be able to escape the fate of the other three kingdoms.
"Nowβisn't Prince Murong still going to spend time in this cave until someone else finds out that you and the princess are here?" Yu Ran spread out the reality in front of Murong Lin's eyes, she believed that Murong Lin, as the prince of a country, no matter how cowardly he was, he would not even understand this truth.
Yes, the jade dye was also put on the spot.
She originally thought that Zhuan Ming would create an opportunity for Murong Lin and Nangong Xiyu to be alone, and then let Nangong Xiyu humiliate Murong Lin in order to achieve her goal. As a result, I didn't expect that Murong Lin was so ruthless that he directly poisoned Nangong Xiyu.
At the banquet of the prince of Huaguo, Princess Shang Guochang was poisoned to death, so the crown prince of Huaguo bore the brunt. And although the person who instigated Murong Lin to stay in Nangong Xiyu in the town for a day was Zhuan Ming, but the person who finally spoke out was Murong Lin himself, so Murong Lin would become the person who deliberately poisoned and murdered the princess of Shang Guo, and Hua Guo would also become the target of public criticism.
It's just that Zhen Ming didn't expect that Yu Ran would appear at this time. Yu Ran gave Nangong Xiyu an antidote that could alleviate various medicinal properties in advance, so that Nangong Xiyu survived, and the people in the Red Moon Pavilion intercepted most of the assassins sent by Zhuan Ming, so Murong Lin and Nangong Xiyu had the opportunity to run all the way into the mountains and forests.
Yu Ran couldn't laugh or cry in her heart when she heard Murong Lin say such mindless and cowardly words at this moment. Fortunately, her patience has always been good, so even if she is very angry in her heart, she does not roar directly like ordinary people, but can speak calmly.
"I was negligent." Murong Lin suddenly sobered up.
Hearing this, Yuran looked sideways at Nangong Xiyu, who she was supporting, and asked, "How is it, can you still go?" β
"Take the antidote, I feel much better, let's go quickly!" Nangong Xiyu nodded, although her face was slightly pale, she still said with a smile.
The three of them walked all the way through the mountains and forests inside, and suddenly, her eyes froze, and then she suddenly stopped Nangong Xiyu behind her with her right hand, and held a sword in front of her with her left hand. Sure enough, the next moment, the blade of another long sword stabbed into her sword. The two swords touched each other, and there was a crisp sound.
It's an assassin sent by Zhen Ming! There are two of them.
Yuran's eyes lit up, and he didn't turn his head, while resisting the long sword of the black-clothed assassin, he shouted directly: "Princess, just stay there and don't move!" β
"Okay, Autumn...... Nanyu, be careful! Nangong Xiyu thought that Murong Lin was still behind her, so she paused her words and hurriedly changed her name and shouted.
No matter how difficult the assassin is, he is not as proficient in martial arts as Zhuan Ming. If it was just one or two assassins, Tamazen could handle it.
It's just that when Yu Ran was fighting with Zhen Ming just now, she was scratched many places on her body, and she also suffered some internal injuries, so her movements were a little slower.
And Yuran's sluggish performance made Murong Lin, who was standing not far behind, hesitate in his heart, in Murong Lin's opinion, even if Yuran was a hidden guard, he was just a woman, how could he really be able to defeat the two strong men opposite?
If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid that it will only attract more Assassins soon!
In this way, all three of them will die here.
Thinking of this, Murong Lin squinted his eyes slightly, sweat dripping down the corners of his forehead, and the hand on his side clenched tightly at some point.
He turned his head and glanced at Nangong Xiyu who was leaning against the tree, indeed, he admired the hearty personality of this princess very much, and thought that it was a kind of woman he had never seen before. It's just that between etiquette and life, he will not hesitate to choose the latter.
The next moment, Murong Lin did as he chose. He sneaked behind a tree, glanced at Tamazen, who was still tangled with the assassins not far away, and then turned and ran in the direction of another empty person.
Although he knew that it was not a good thing to leave behind a princess of the Shang Kingdom, he had already decided in his heart that Yuran and Nangong Xiyu would definitely not be able to leave this mountain forest because of the assassins' continuous pursuit, so he dared to do so with peace of mind.
It just so happened that Nangong Xiyu turned around and found the back of Murong Lin running away to the other side of the mountain forest, she was stunned, and then turned her head sharply and shouted at Yuran: "Qiu Ran, it's not good, that Prince Murong ran away!" β
