36. Interception

Tang Xi nodded suddenly when he heard this, "I see, ...... so."

Huo Jinyan's move to invite himself to the border pass Tang Xi can be understood, it is nothing more than to retreat as advance, at this time, due to the acquiescence of the emperor, the bad remarks about Huo Jinyan made by those people gradually increased, it is nothing in a short time, but after a long time, everyone will inevitably be shaken, and feel that there is no wind and no waves, so as to have doubts about Huo Jinyan, Huo Jinyan's reputation among the people is not easy to stack up, if it is shaken, the consequences are also very serious.

Therefore, Huo Jinyan directly asked for orders to leave the capital and go to the border pass, which would make Feng Lie's situation embarrassing, because of his inaction, the prime minister had to go to the border pass to correct his innocence, he had just ascended the throne, and this kind of thing also had some impact on him, so he was bound to find out the authenticity of those excerpts that impeached Huo Jinyan when Huo Jinyan left the capital.

But Huo Jinyan's move is actually very risky, when he was in the capital, others didn't dare to do anything to him, but once he left the capital, assassination or something must be inevitable, now he has been gone for two days, and there is a distance from the capital, thinking that it won't be long before those people will do it, it seems that this trip is destined to be a crisis.

"But......" Tang Xi frowned, "what are you taking me for?" "When it's so dangerous, do you still have to take a woman who doesn't know any martial arts with you to drag them back?

Lu Zheng pouted when he heard this, "I heard that the emperor is very interested in you, and the third brother is afraid that he will leave, and the emperor will have any bad thoughts about you." ”

"......" Tang Xi's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and then pointed to his face, "Just my face can make the emperor have any bad thoughts?" ”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he immediately agreed, "I think so too, just your little appearance with yellow muscles and thin muscles, the emperor will only take a fancy to you when he is full!" Who knows what the third brother thinks. ”

Although "......" is the truth, wouldn't it hurt to say it so bluntly? Tang Xi touched his face worriedly. But to say that, Tang Xi probably understood in his heart that the last time Feng Lie saw her, he thought she looked like Feng Xi, so he was a little interested in her, and the reason why Huo Jinyan wanted to protect her was only because he was "Feng Xi's sister".

"But ......" Lu Zheng looked at Tang Xi, and suddenly frowned again, "Why do I look at you a little better than before?" ”

"Huh? Is there one? Tang Xi asked in surprise, she didn't notice any changes in herself.

Lu Zheng nodded affirmatively, "It's a little whiter than when I first saw you, and my face is a little plump...... To be honest, did you think you were too ugly to secretly do any whitening measures? ”

Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "No matter how ugly it is, it's not as ugly as you!" A big man looks like he has red lips and white teeth, a little more beautiful than a woman, and the lady dares to laugh at me for being ugly? ”

Lu Zheng, who was angry, rolled his eyes, "Am I ugly? What do I call ugly? If I'm ugly, there won't be any good-looking men in the world! "He's still very confident in his face.

"Who said that?" Tang Xi retorted unconvinced, "We adults are much better looking than you!" Good looking and manly, that's what a man should look like! ”

"Third Brother ......"

"Yes, it's your third brother, much better looking than you!" Tang Xi said proudly.

"Really?"

Suddenly, the familiar voice behind him sounded, and the frightened Tang Xi almost jumped up, and when he turned his head, he saw Huo Jinyan standing behind him, and Lu Zheng's sentence just now was not to say to her, but to call the person behind him?

Facing Huo Jinyan, Tang Xi was a little lacking in confidence at this time, he smirked, and said embarrassedly, "When did the adults come over?" ”

"Just when you say, 'We're adults much better looking than you, and we're good-looking and manly, that's what a man should be!' The time came. Huo Jinyan expressionlessly repeated Tang Xi's words just now.

Tang Xi was suddenly embarrassed, he only told Huo Jinyan yesterday that he would not choose him, and today he was caught praising him behind his back, how do you look like a little girl's duplicity? He didn't think he lied yesterday because he was shy?

Tang Xi was apprehensive in his heart, but Huo Jinyan had no intention of pursuing it, and only said to Lu Zheng, "Didn't you say that you came with me with your father's permission this time?" So what is it? ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng took the envelope and saw that it was written by his father, and he suddenly felt weak, "Uh...... What did my father say? ”

Huo Jinyan's face was expressionless, "Look at it yourself." ”

Lu Zheng hurriedly opened the envelope and looked at it, and in his heart, An Yuanhou scolded Lu Zheng, and then said that he should hurry home and not make trouble for Huo Jinyan, and then apologized to Huo Jinyan, saying that Lu Zheng was really sorry for causing him trouble.

Lu Zheng couldn't help pouting after reading it, "Why are you afraid that I will cause trouble for you, doesn't the old man see that the third brother is doing right and wants me to stay away from you to protect my life?" It's obviously selfish, but it's so nice! Saying that, he folded the letter and put it back, and then snorted coldly, "Hmph, I won't go back, I finally got out of the capital, and he can't do anything to me if I don't go back." ”

Huo Jinyan was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "Lu Zheng, now is not the time to play with a child's temper, you must know that the people who want to deal with me now are not those restless ministers, but the emperor." He paused, pursed his lips and said, "It's not far from the capital now, and it's not too late to go back." ”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he suddenly put away the appearance of the hanger just now, frowned slightly, and said with some excitement, "What does this mean by third brother?" Is I, Lu Zheng, the kind of person who is afraid of things? You were the one who saved my life, you are my benefactor, how can I leave you when you are in the most difficult time? ”

"Lu Zheng." Huo Jin's tone was also a little heavier, "I said that now is not the time to play with the temper of a child, I will go to the border this time, the road must be full of dangers, you have to go with me before, I only think that your father agreed, then I naturally have nothing to say, but now that I know what your father means, I must not allow you to continue to act willfully, otherwise if something happens, how do you want me to explain to your father?" ”

Lu Zheng was also provoked to anger all of a sudden, and said angrily, "Who used you to explain to my father?" I can make my own decisions in my own life, even if I die, I can't blame you, no matter what you say, I will never go back anyway! ”

Huo Jinyan looked at Lu Zheng with complicated eyes for a while, but after all, he didn't say anything more, and turned back to the carriage.

After he left, Tang Xi, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, dared to speak, she gently tugged Lu Zheng's sleeve, "Hey, you sneaked out?" ”

Lu Zheng was angry, and when he heard this, he suddenly lost his breath, "What? No way? ”

Tang Xi pouted, "What are you doing with such a big anger?" Who says no? I think you're righteous and courageous! She patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, you, I looked down on you before." ”

When everyone was against him, Tang Xi's words of praise sounded particularly pleasant, and Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, "Really? Do you really think so? ”

Tang Xi nodded, smiling casually, "Stupid is a little stupid, but if I were you, I would make the same choice as you." ”

looked at the girl in front of her, she was still the face that wasn't very good-looking, but Lu Zheng suddenly felt that her whole person seemed to be glowing, which was particularly dazzling, and Lu Zheng was stunned.

However, Tang Xi didn't notice Lu Zheng's abnormality, she got up and clapped her hands and turned her head to walk towards her carriage, "Silly melon, go quickly, otherwise be careful that the adults will leave you here!" ”

When Lu Zheng heard Tang Xi's name for himself, he blushed unexpectedly, obviously making fun of him, but why did Lu Zheng only feel as if he was a lover's nickname with an ambiguous color at this moment?

Lu Zheng patted his forehead, he felt that he was probably sick, and it was really undeserved for such a thin little girl to have such a charming idea.

He shook his head and threw out the messy thoughts in his head, then jumped up from the ground and walked towards his carriage, Tang Xi was right, it was better to pay attention, otherwise it would be miserable if Huo Jinyan was thrown here.

Huo Jinyan originally thought that he would wait for Lu Zheng to fall asleep at night and leave the two guards to take care of Lu Zheng, and then they would leave secretly, but at night he was confused, because Lu Zheng actually pestered him to sleep with him......

He looked at Lu Zheng with a dark face, and then rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, and persuaded in a good voice, "Why do you want to sleep with me in so many tents?" People think you have some unknown hobby when you see it. ”

But Lu Zheng was iron-hearted, "I don't care, anyway, it's my own people here, and I can't lose face outside, in order to prevent the third brother from leaving me, I won't go out!" ”

Huo Jinyan was helpless, he pursed his lips and asked, "Are you really sure you want to go to the border with me?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded firmly, "I'm not stupid, I know that our journey won't be too peaceful, no matter how I say that my martial arts are still good, I will never hold you back, third brother, you just let me follow!" ”

Huo Jinyan sighed helplessly, "Since you have figured it out, then follow it, and now, go back to your own tent." ”

Hearing Huo Jinyan's relief, Lu Zheng immediately became happy, he knew that Huo Jinyan promised nothing to deny, so he didn't pester him anymore, and said happily, "Thank you, third brother!" Then I'll go out, haha. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng's laughter, Tang Xi lifted the corner of the tent curtain and glanced out, just in time to see Lu Zheng happily leaving Huo Jinyan's tent, it seemed that Huo Jinyan finally relented.

She yawned and put down the tent curtain, thinking to herself, Huo Jinyan's wood is always cold, and he is too cold and hard enough to be tactful, but it is rare to have such a friend as Lu Zheng who will never leave him.

Early the next morning, the group went on the road again, this section of the road is a mountain road, the road is a little rugged, the road is very bumpy, Tang Xi has never been far away, this time it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable, so he half lay in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

I don't know how long I walked, the carriage stopped suddenly, Tang Xi woke up in an instant, she rubbed her eyes and opened the sedan curtain, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a large number of people blocking the road in front of her, all of them with fierce and vicious looks, and they all carried knives in their hands, full of gangsterism.

Tang Xi's heart tightened, it seemed that this first wave of killers had appeared.

Tang Xi's carriage was at the end, and it was still farther away from the front, because he couldn't hear what those people were talking about, but it was not difficult to guess, he was probably pretending to be a robber and robbing, and he didn't have to think much about it to know that it would not be negotiated anyway, and the fight was about to start.

Tang Xi's martial arts skills were not very good, so she lowered the curtain and said to the guards outside, "If I don't get out of the carriage, they probably won't notice me, and if there is a fight in a while, you can go and help them." ”

A few guards on horseback around glanced at each other, to be honest, they didn't want to hide behind here, not to mention that Tang Xi was right, they couldn't come back for a while, so they could rest assured, so they didn't say anything, just drove their horses forward and leaned forward.

Tang Xi saw that the people around him were moving forward, so he lowered the curtain, and he had to hide in the carriage and not make a sound, so he couldn't let them be distracted to take care of himself at this time.

After a while, Tang Xi heard the sound of killing outside, the piercing sound of weapons connecting and the sound of weapons piercing into the flesh, and Tang Xi's face turned slightly pale when he heard it.

No matter how many times she has experienced it, she is still a little at a loss for such a thing, and she still remembers that when she first saw the scene of murder, her face turned pale and vomited, but her father, who had always loved her, reprimanded her with a stern face, and forced her to watch that scene again and again.

The year after his father announced the news of his dying was like a nightmare for Tang Xi, he used the first twelve years to be kind to her, making her willing to die for him, and then used another year to double the suffering she had not suffered on her, how happy she was in the first twelve years, how bitter she was in that year.

After the death of her father, she also ordered to kill a lot of people, and also suffered a lot of assassinations, she thought that she was numb and would not be afraid anymore, but after changing her identity and no longer having to disguise herself, she was shocked to realize that no matter how many times she experienced it, she was still afraid.

Tang Xi's mind was thinking about the past in a mess, and suddenly the sedan curtain was lifted from the outside, Tang Xi almost instinctively held the dagger in his hand and stabbed forward, and then when his hand was halfway through, he was suddenly held, and a familiar voice sounded in his head, "It's me." ”

Tang Xi's hand stiffened, and she raised her head in confusion, Huo Jinyan's face came into view, her eyes were still uneasy, but the moment she saw Huo Jinyan clearly, she suddenly quieted down, and called out sullenly, "My lord." ”

Although the voice was muffled, the inexplicable Huo Jinyan heard the taste of peace of mind from it, and his heart trembled, he turned his head and let his voice try not to carry any emotion, "It's dangerous here, follow me." ”

At this moment, Tang Xi was unusually quiet and well-behaved, and he didn't say anything after listening to Huo Jinyan's words, only gently pulled the corner of Huo Jinyan's clothes, and then followed him out of the carriage.

Huo Jinyan felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled, he paused slightly, turned his head and saw the hand holding the corner of his clothes tightly, and he could see that she was very hard, and her fingers were a little white.

If it was Feng Xi, she would definitely not hide behind herself with such a weak posture.

Obviously two completely different people, but at this moment, Huo Jinyan felt as if his heartstrings were plucked by a pair of invisible hands.

He pursed his lips and finally didn't say the word "let go", but his expression became more and more indifferent, and his voice became colder and colder, "Follow close." ”

Without the cover of the carriage, the bloody color outside jumped directly into her eyes, and her hand pulling the corner of Huo Jinyan's clothes became harder and harder, as if only here could make her heart feel a little warm like falling into an ice cave.

Looking at the tall figure walking in front, Tang Xi's mind gradually became a little trance, she still remembered that she was assassinated and almost died, and it was Huo Jinyan who appeared in front of her to save her, and she sometimes couldn't help but wonder, did Huo Jinyan have a pair of eyes by her side? Why is he the first person to come to him every time he has an accident?

Or, is this the so-called fate of the mysterious?

She was seventeen years old that year, and it had been three years since she ascended the throne, and she already had a lot of power, so Prince Yi finally realized that something was wrong, and Huo Jinyan went against him from time to time, and he felt more and more difficult.

The girl who was as obedient as a kitten began to look like a generation of emperors, and Prince Yi finally couldn't sit still, so he used almost all means to plan an assassination, which was the biggest crisis Feng Xi encountered since he took the throne.

Prince Yi chose to make a move on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, which was originally a scene of harmony, but a group of black-clothed assassins descended from the sky and rushed straight at her with swords in hand.

"There are assassins!" Some people are afraid.

"Ahh Help me! "Someone screamed.

"Quick! Protect the Emperor! This is the unique sharp voice of Gonggong Li.

Feng Xi was stunned for a moment, and the instinct for survival made her dodge to her side, although she was embarrassed, but she always dodged, and then the Royal Forest Army fought with the assassin.

The scene was chaotic, the screams of countless people, and countless bright red blood spilled on the ground, and people kept falling in front of Feng Xi's body, she was afraid to die, but she was still maintaining her apparent composure.

She is the emperor, and no matter when, she can't lose her majesty.

The Imperial Forest Army was very brave, but these assassins were also prepared, God knows how so many assassins managed to sneak into the palace, Feng Xi watched them fight numbly, but the assassins seemed to be unable to kill, and there were still a batch of falls.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" I don't know who yelled.

Feng Xi turned her head and saw a long sword stabbing at her heart, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she couldn't avoid this sword.

This sword pierces the heart, and she will surely die.

In an instant, many things flashed in her mind, including her father and Feng Lie, she was reluctant, but more regretful, regretting that she had failed to complete her father's entrustment after all, and there was a trace of relaxation in all kinds of complex emotions, and there was a hint of relaxation that was about to be liberated.

She didn't close her eyes, just looked straight at the tip of the sword, but the expected pain didn't come, and suddenly fell into an embrace, which was very warm, and instantly dispelled the cold in her body.

The man held her and dodged the sword, but Feng Xi still heard the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh, and her heart suddenly shrank, and she wanted to look up to see the man's wound, and then as soon as she raised her head, her eyes were covered by a pair of warm hands.

The familiar voice of the man above his head came, mixed with a muffled grunt of pain, "Don't look. ”

It was Huo Jinyan, Feng Xi settled down in an instant, and then his heart was mentioned again, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you get hurt?" ”

"No problem." As he spoke, Huo Jinyan pressed her head into his arms with one hand, and with the other hand and a sword, he eliminated the assassin just now, and then took her to an inconspicuous corner on the side.

She was actually a little greedy for this warm embrace, and even more greedy for the feeling of not seeing any blood at the moment, which made her feel very relieved.

However, after standing still for a moment, Feng Xi suddenly pushed Huo Jinyan away, she first glanced at Huo Jinyan imperceptibly, and noticed that his wound was only on his arm, and she was slightly relieved in her heart.

Then she cut her clothes and hair, and looked at Huo Jinyan with a slightly cold gaze, "The prime minister has overstepped his rules." ”

Obviously, her height was only up to his shoulders, and she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, but at this moment she had a majesty that could not be offended.

Huo Jinyan lowered his eyes and bowed his head slightly, "The emperor forgives sins." ”

Only then did she soften her face slightly, "Although it is a transgression, the prime minister is also to save me, and I don't care about it." ”

After speaking, she moved her gaze to the chaos of the scene, this fight was almost over, the ground was full of corpses, blood everywhere, very dazzling, in the face of this Shura-like scene, her face was calm, "The Royal Forest Army listens to the order, stay alive." ”

Huo Jinyan stood behind her, his eyes lingering on her body, and he could even see the slight tremor of her body.

Even though she was afraid, she was still stubborn, and her mask never dared to take off easily.

In the end, the Imperial Forest Army left three alive mouths, and they wanted to bite off the muttering in their mouths, but they were quickly stopped by people, and when the poison sac in their mouths was taken out, they pressed the person in front of Feng Xi.

"Count the number of dead and wounded."

After Feng Xi finished speaking, he walked in front of the three people step by step, and said coldly, "Who ordered you to come?" ”

The man in the middle twisted his head, "Kill me." ”

Feng Xi suddenly laughed, she was already extremely beautiful, and suddenly showed a bright smile at this moment, the assassin was stunned for a while, but then he felt a pain in his arm, he looked down in a daze, and saw that his right arm fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.

Then the heart-piercing pain came up wave after wave, the man screamed, and his face turned white in an instant, looking at Feng Xi's eyes full of fear, I thought it was a stunning girl, but she could cut off her arm without changing her face and talking and laughing!

At this moment, he realized that what was standing in front of him was not an ordinary girl, but the emperor who was known for his tyranny.

Those living ministers stood aside, and when they saw this scene, their faces turned even whiter, and some even couldn't help but shrink a little.
