Chapter 61: Assassination

Ning Zefeng received a reply from his brother, and also asked Ning Buqu to wait for Xiao Che in Guangyuan City on the border of Yanchu with the master of the Ghost Shadow Gate early.

Xiao Che also came to Guangyuan City after the rendezvous with Shi Luosheng in Tianwu City, this way is not like when he first came, everyone was not familiar with it at that time, and now after nearly a month of getting along with the Young Hero Competition, Shi Luosheng also figured out Xiao Che's personality. If he had to choose one of Xiao Che and Xiao Yan as his friends, Shi Luosheng would undoubtedly choose Xiao Che. It's just that the current situation makes Shi Luosheng unable to get too close to Xiao Che, and Xiao Che also understands this, so along the way, all topics involving the prince and the family are tacitly avoided.

On this day, Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan were still drinking and chatting in Xiao Che's carriage, when they suddenly heard the sound of a fight next to them, and Xiao Che asked him to stop the carriage and go to investigate. After a while, the man brought back the news, saying that Jiang Huanchu, the fourth prince of Qi State, and Jiang Wan'er, the princess, were being besieged by a group of masked people.

Shi Luosheng's face changed, he jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the place where the fight was fighting, and Liu Zixuan also followed closely. Xiao Che originally didn't want to take care of the affairs of the prince of Qi Kingdom, but Zhenghuan, who was chatting with Shi Luosheng at the moment, also knew the relationship between Shi Luosheng and Jiang Huanchu, so he pushed the boat to sell his favor to Shi Luosheng and took his subordinates to the rescue.

Shi Luosheng arrived to see that there were already many Qi State guards lying on the ground, Jiang Huan Chu seemed to be injured, his right leg was a little immobile, and three masked men were besieging him. Jiang Wan'er was also besieged by the two of them, and she was at a disadvantage, and I am afraid she would not be able to support it for long. And Hou Ying is even more miserable, his body is full of bloodstains, and he doesn't know if it was his own or someone else's splash, the two people who besieged him also look like first-class masters, I'm afraid that any one of them and Hou Ying is fighting alone is also between the two of them, and now that the two are joining forces, it is no wonder that Hou Ying will be so miserable.

Shi Luosheng jumped to Jiang Wan'er's side and blocked the masked man opposite for her, and Liu Zixuan also tacitly protected Jiang Huanchu in front of him. At the same time, Xiao Che also led everyone to protect Hou Ying behind him, and the masked man led by him saw that he had suddenly killed so many people, and his skills were not bad, and after a short measurement, he decided to retreat first.

Jiang Huan Chu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the masked man withdraw, pointed at Shi Luosheng and scolded: "What speed do you kid have, if you come a little later, you are ready to collect the body for me." ”

Shi Luosheng asked, "Who are they?" How could you be hunted down and killed, and shouldn't you go back to Qi Kingdom? This direction is the way to Yanguo. ”

Jiang Wan'er saw that her brother was seriously injured, and hurriedly replied: "We don't know who those masked people are, but the only one who can send so many masters in the territory of Chu is the Hidden Star Sect." After we left Tianwu City, we were ready to return to Qi Kingdom, and after just two days of leaving, we found that we were being followed, and when we fought, we found that the other party was not weak at all, even the Waiting King was injured, and most of the guards we brought were also killed. The fourth brother guessed that it might be because he had learned the vast stars, so he caused the Hidden Star Sect to chase and kill, and we didn't dare to return the same way. The fourth brother said that you were going to Yan Kingdom, firstly, I was worried that you would also be hunted down, and secondly, we also planned to make a detour to Yan Kingdom and return to Qi Country by water, so we rushed over to join you. I didn't expect that the gang reacted really fast, they didn't intercept us in front, they realized that we went another way, only two days of effort, we were caught up by them again, and they fought twice in the past few days, and the king was seriously injured, and the fourth brother was also injured just now. ”

Xiao Che hurriedly arranged for someone to treat a few people, Jiang Huanchu's condition was slightly better, he only suffered external injuries, and he would be fine after a few days of rest. Hou Ying was not optimistic, in addition to external injuries, he also suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and the meridians on his body showed signs of breakage.

Shi Luosheng said to Xiao Che: "Your Highness, the people on Huan Chu's side are not lightly injured, and King Hou cannot do anything with others again, otherwise there is a risk of broken meridians." It is very likely that these masked people are from the Hidden Star Sect, and they should be chasing and killing Huan Chu for the vast stars, and Zixuan and I also learned a little bit of this kung fu, and the two of us should also be on the list of being hunted down. Now we are still in the territory of Chu State, and the situation is quite dangerous, so Luosheng wants to ask His Royal Highness to take Princess Wan'er and King Hou to leave first, the Hidden Star Sect has no reason to kill you, Zixuan and I stay to take care of Huan Chu, there are few people, and our goal is small, so it is convenient to get out. If we survive this time, we will reunite in the Yan Kingdom. ”

Of course, Xiao Che didn't agree: "Taifu, what are you talking about, how can I leave you on the road alone?" My father's will is for us to go to Yan Kingdom together, if I go back alone in the future, how can I explain to my father? You don't have to say anything, I'll stay with you to defend against the enemy. ”

Shi Luosheng was quite moved when he heard Xiao Che's words, but he still persuaded: "Your Highness, this is not the time to be rash, now only His Highness will go to Yan Country first, and the person who is responsible for receiving you must be the people of the Ghost Shadow Gate, and then His Highness will ask the Ghost Shadow Gate for help, and let them send someone to pick us up, so that we may have a glimmer of life." ”

Xiao Che felt that this was a feasible solution, and asked a little excitedly: "Although this is a good way, there is also a question, will the people of the Ghost Shadow Gate agree to save the four princes of Qi Kingdom?" Are their two countries still at war? ”

Shi Luosheng said firmly: "Yes, Ning Zefeng is not a short-sighted person, Qi and Yan have been at war for many years, and Yan has always been at a disadvantage, so they naturally don't want to fight such a war." If they save Jiang Huan Chu this time, maybe Qi Guo will stop fighting for this part. Even if Emperor Qi didn't agree to a truce, saving Jiang Huan Chu would be considered a good one, who knows if Huan Chu will be the emperor in the future? On the contrary, if they watched Jiang Huan Chu being killed, although there was no loss for them, they might also miss an opportunity. ”

Xiao Che nodded again and again: "This is my short-sightedness, or too Fu has a long-term view, Xiao Che has been taught." I will make the stakes clear with Ning Zefeng, then please take care of Taifu, you must live until we come back. ”

"I'm not leaving, I'll stay with the fourth brother." When Jiang Wan'er heard that Shi Luosheng arranged for her to go to Yan Kingdom with Xiao Che with Hou Ying, Jiang Wan'er said that she didn't agree to anything. Hou Ying didn't agree at first, but he also understood his physical condition, and staying couldn't help, but dragged down the four princes. In the end, Jiang Huanchu still couldn't get past Jiang Wan'er, so he had to agree to her staying.

Xiao Che took Hou Ying to Guangyuan City first by taking the official road, and the remaining four Shi Luosheng also rushed to Yan Country towards another path.

Xiao Che left a carriage for the four of them, Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan drove the car outside, Jiang Wan'er took care of Jiang Huan Chu in the car, Jiang Huan Chu said: "Tell me the two of you, is Shen Nanxing really chasing and killing us because of the vast stars?" No, we've only reached the second level. ”

Shi Luosheng teased: "You are wrong, how many times have you been hunted down and killed along the way, but Zixuan and I have not been once, so it is not to chase us, but to hunt and kill you alone." ”

Jiang Huan Chuqi said: "Then why did he chase and kill me, if I die, isn't Shen Nanxing afraid of provoking a war between Qi and Chu?" ”

Shi Luosheng replied: "I don't know if you provoke a war or not, there are so many people who came to participate in the Young Hero Contest this time, and there are many people who have lost in your hands, if you die, who can say that the Hidden Star Sect did it, maybe it was the kid who lost to you and let the division commander of their sect take action." ”

Jiang Huan Chu said angrily: "It makes sense to say this, but I don't understand why he is targeting me?" If it wasn't for the vast stars, could it be because I had bumped into him on the top of the Heavenly Pillar Peak? But you didn't contradict him less, why did you just kill me? ”

Shi Luosheng thought about it seriously and said: "I think the reason why he wants to kill you may be because it only took you seven days to learn the first layer of the Vast Stars Mental Method, and he is afraid of your talent, so it makes sense." ”

Jiang Huan Chu was even more angry: "If this is the case, then I will be wronged to death, you obviously only took five days to practice, but until you went down the mountain, you still pretended not to practice." There is also Zixuan, who has been practiced in twelve days, this is the real martial arts wizard, we are only so fast because we have practiced the fire day by day and then practiced the vast stars. ”

Shi Luosheng laughed and said: "It can only be regarded as your bad luck, Shen Nanxing is still eyeing you, but you kid is not willing to suffer, in order to pull the two of us into the water, we have chased them to Yan Kingdom, don't we have difficulties with you now." ”

The three of them also laughed when they heard this, and after walking for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, and it turned out that a row of masked people in front of them blocked the way.
