Chapter 407: Sword Dance

People will always encounter times when they are caught off guard without psychological preparation, and at this time, they don't care about being afraid or have other ideas, and a person like Princess Taiping, who has no experience in physical combat, can only wait for Xue Chongxun to be killed, after all, the ability he usually practices the most is martial arts, and the response is almost out of instinct and his mind is blank

The girl missed the blow, and launched a second attack without any hesitation, and between the lightning and flint, Xue Chongxun could even feel the sound of the sharp short sword cutting through the air Princess Taiping was in his arms, and her entire back was completely defenseless, saying that it was Chi Na who was about to approach in an instant with a cold and murderous aura

Xue Chongxun immediately hugged Princess Taiping's waist and turned around, only to hear a "poof", and the pain and chill in his left shoulder suddenly penetrated his bones......

Why would he do it, who knows? He himself will not understand, a momentary move is too late to think about it, maybe it is the way he often practices to dodge the stabbing is because of the turn, in short, the reaction to the end is instinctive, using the most familiar way

"Yikes!" Xue Chongxun exhaled in pain, threw out his right arm without looking back, and swept his fist backwards With the swing of the fist, his body twisted and turned around, and there was an empty wind sound, obviously the punch did not hit

As soon as Xue Chongxun turned around, he didn't see clearly how the girl boy dodged the attack, and there was a flash in front of him, and the rapid assassination came again, and the ghostly fast attack ghost lingered, his whole body nerves were tense, and a thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead

"Z!" Suddenly, there was a dull sound, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant, and I saw Xue Chongxun's right hand directly grasp the blade of the sword, and the blood immediately dripped into the air

The injury to his left shoulder affected the muscles of his entire left arm, and he couldn't use any force, and his right hand grabbed the short sword tightly and immediately twisted it, and the girl was startled, and immediately let go of the hilt, and the reaction was quite fast...... At this time, Xue Chongxun had realized that this young girl was very skilled in martial arts

"Chongxun!" Princess Taiping shouted in a trembling voice at this time

Xue Chongxun's hands were full of blood, he snatched the short sword and did not attack immediately, but continued to block in front of Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping stared at Xue Chongxun's eyes behind her back, the wound on Xue Chongxun's left shoulder was still bleeding, her shirt was wet for a long time, her face was pale and she couldn't say a word, Princess Taiping, but seeing a tall figure blocking the front, there was a strange sense of dependence in her heart, like a drowning person suddenly grabbed a straw

"There are assassins, assassins ......" the palace maids and eunuchs shouted in horror, and two eunuchs finally rushed towards the girl who had lost her weapon, but immediately screamed twice, and without any resistance, they were somehow kicked twice, fell to the ground and cried out in pain

Xue Chongxun flipped the short sword in his hand and squeezed it tightly in his hand, his fingers were so curled and clenched that he could still press the wound to avoid blood loss from the wound on his hand, but there was no way on his back for a while, he quickly looked up at the tiles that were uncovered on the roof, and he was worried for a while: If another assassin with the same skill comes down immediately, he really doesn't know if he can deal with it, and the palace people in the dormitory are simply a waste in terms of fighting, and it will take some time for the guards to come in and rescue them

Several other eunuchs and palace maids surrounded the female assassin Baiyue from the left and right, and Baiyue was looking for weapons in all directions, her physique was destined to be incapacitated, and she could only rely on sharp weapons and dexterity to defeat the enemy

"Chongxun, how are you?" Princess Taiping reached out and pressed Xue Chongxun's wound

Xue Chongxun didn't answer her question, only said, "Go!" With that, he changed his short sword to another hand, reached out and grabbed Princess Taiping's wrist and ran towards the palace gate

"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object hitting something behind him, Xue Chongxun and the others couldn't look back, and took advantage of the palace eunuch to block the female assassin and hurriedly left, as long as they could avoid it, they couldn't fight with the assassin at all

At this time, the wind from somewhere poured into the palace room, and the curtains on both sides fluttered gently with the wind, and the two of them held hands one after the other from the beautiful silk curtain through the beautiful silk curtain and followed behind him, feeling a little trance, and suddenly there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was not escaping from assassination, but escaping from a suffocating confinement...... It's a bit like the ascension and joy described by Yuqing when he cultivated immortals

At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure running over quickly from the side of the temple gate, Xue Chongxun's heart tightened, and after a while, he saw that the original person was Taoist Yuqing, she was wearing a Taoist robe, and she was carrying a long sword in her hand

"Your Highness has met an assassin?" Yuqing asked, then glanced at Xue Chongxun's bloodied hand

Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief: "Exactly, it's just behind"

Xue Chongxun had seen Yuqing use a sword when he was in Luoyang, this female Taoist priest not only knew alchemy, but also swordsmanship, and was greatly relieved to see her coming

At this moment, the female and child assassin had already rushed from behind, and it seemed that the group of palace maids and eunuchs had been freed in a moment...... So a whole bunch of people are useless against a little girl who has lost her blade, what is it that is not waste?

Princess Taiping said: "Chased over!" ”

Yuqing said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the poor Dao will meet her for a while" After saying that, the elegant figure flashed, pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and put a horizontal sword in his right hand to respond to the enemy

But seeing that the girl was holding a bloodstained golden hairpin in her hand, which was probably found from the dresser, Xue Chongxun was stunned when he saw this: "What kind of hatred do we have with her family?" ”

At this time, I saw that Yuqing's body was elegant, and he had stabbed out two swords, the wind was clear, and he obviously did not attack the real thing, and after a while, he "hissed", and the sword blade cut a big hole in a curtain next to him, and the three swordsmanship at the beginning were not in a hurry, although they did not work, but they completely gained the upper hand, and the girl and child were obviously passive defense and dodge, unable to get out and unable to take the initiative to attack, and after a while, I saw the sword shadow flashing, Yuqing's movements were getting faster and faster, and the flexible posture was like a dance in the sword...... Good-looking but not murderous, the essence of her practice of this swordsmanship is estimated to be mostly out of self-cultivation, but not mainly for killing, otherwise where would there be so many tricks?

"The last general is too late to save the car, the sin of ten thousand deaths!" Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting, and I saw a big man in iron armor fall to the ground with a bang, almost throwing a big hole in the carpeted brick floor

Princess Taiping pointed behind her and said, "What are you still kneeling for, take it for me!" ”

"Obey the order" The big man quickly got up and picked up a long-handled broadsword on the ground, "Kill!" With a snort, he rushed forward with a group of iron men

Soon more and more guards came in, surrounded by armor, protecting Princess Taiping and others in the middle, and there were several layers of iron walls inside and outside, so they were safe, even if an army came to assassinate them with random arrows, I am afraid it would be difficult to break such a heavy defense, these people who served as palace guards nearby may not be very good in martial arts, but their height and appearance will definitely not be too bad, mainly for the prestige of the honor guard, they are a group of tall men, standing a few layers around, completely blocking the view, and I don't know how the female assassin was subdued

But there was no suspense that the assassin Baiyue was caught, but after a short period of effort, she was beaten half to death without even having a chance to escape or even commit suicide

The army got out of the way, and saw that Baiyue was being pressed to the ground and couldn't move, her mouth was covered with blood, and her very delicate-looking body struggled twice to prove that she was not dead

Princess Taiping said: "Imperial doctor, hurry up and find me the imperial doctor!" ”

Xue Chongxun's face was very pale after losing a lot of blood, but he was still standing there Princess Taiping looked at him with a complicated expression, "You ......" She really didn't know how to express her mood at this time, she probably didn't expect Xue Chongxun to use her body to block her sword

Xue Chongxun's reactions and practices before were completely instinctive, and he was not mentally prepared at all, and he didn't even think about the gains and losses of right and wrong

But at this time, the crisis gradually passed, his thinking had returned to normal, and seeing that Princess Taiping was moved, he realized that this was an opportunity, so he hurriedly fell to the ground and said with emotion: "As long as the mother is safe, the son will be at ease even if he dies."

Princess Taiping hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him, and couldn't help but be moved, because she was really moved, she couldn't say anything good, just looked at Xue Chongxun, who looked sincere, in a daze

At this time, Xue Chongxun asked, "Who is the head of the guard tonight?" ”

Most of the troops did not dare to speak, and a general walked to the gate of the palace from the outside, fell to the ground and said: "Your Highness, Liang Wu, the commander of Yulin, knows that he has failed to do his duty and caused the assassin to enter His Highness's dormitory, and his crime is unforgivable, and he has apologized in front of the Changchun Palace."

Xue Chongxun walked out of the door after hearing this, stood on the edge of the building and looked down, and saw a general kneeling motionless, as if he was dead

Princess Taiping's anger subsided a little after hearing this, and sighed: "Don't implicate her family, bury the corpse thickly"

After a while, the sergeants downstairs carried two more "hedgehogs" to his majesty, only to see that the two people were full of arrows, at least dozens of them, I am afraid that they could not die anymore The following people reported: "The two assassins outside the hall resisted stubbornly, and were shot by the guards with arrows, and have been ambushed."

The imperial doctor came up to heal Xue Chongxun's wounds, and at this time, Yu Liben glanced at the female assassin Baiyue who was pressed to the ground, and whispered: "After torturing the mastermind behind the scenes, how does His Royal Highness King Jin want to deal with this assassin...... How can she die? ”

Princess Taiping's face flashed with a trace of cold hatred, and she said coldly: "Let her beg and want to die!" ”

Yu Liben hurriedly said: "The slave must be ordered to go down, so that she can't ...... if she wants to live or die."
