Chapter 42: It's Time to Hit the Road
Songyue country. North City Border.
He and the team traveled for three days in a row, and they were stationed at the Yunlai Inn to rest.
The upper room on the second floor of the inn.
Princess Xuanji is dressed in a phoenix crown, dignified and noble, her tall and perfect figure is graceful and graceful, and the exquisite makeup makes her already full of heaven, and the perfect face of the earth pavilion adds another amazing.
Ruxin, the personal maid next to her, was about to change the princess's clothes when there was a sudden commotion outside.
Ruyi quickly picked up the saber on the table, covered the window and looked at it, it was raining and slanting outside, and a team of officers and soldiers passing by here, saying that they were searching for suspects who had escaped.
The shopkeeper respectfully said forward, there is a friendly princess living in the upper room, and she has fallen asleep at this hour, and begged the official to raise his noble hand and not disturb the peace of the princess, otherwise he can't afford it.
The officers and soldiers led by him kicked the shopkeeper away and shouted:
"Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu lives here today, I have to go in and check!"
With the leader's order, the pawns quickly went upstairs, pulled out their swords and kicked the door one by one, and the sound of swords was everywhere for a while.
Ruxin, Ruyi vigilantly clenched the long sword and protected it in front of the princess, not daring to be distracted.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from the other window, and Ruyi quickly raised his sword to block it in front of the princess, but because he couldn't dodge, he was pierced and injured in the right arm.
There was such a big movement in the room, none of the guards who escorted him came to the rescue, Princess Xuanji found that something was wrong, and immediately jumped out of the window with the two maids to escape.
As soon as the three of them landed, they were surrounded by a group of black-clothed people, led by Yu Qianxun, the daughter of the protector of the country, who was dressed in a phoenix brocade danyi, walked slowly from behind the black-clothed people, glanced at Princess Xuanji coldly, and asked in a deep voice:
"Princess Xuanji, the night is dark and the rain is tight, where are you going?"
Princess Xuanji glanced at the young woman who was also wearing a wedding dress, and was extremely puzzled, and couldn't help but threaten sharply:
"Who are you? Since you know that I am a princess, do you dare to block my way, do you not want to live? ”
Who is this woman? Seems like a long time ago? But I couldn't remember it for a while. What the hell is she trying to do dressed like this?
Yu Qianxun snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that now it's time for you to hit the road." ”
When she was six years old, her mother died, and she was driven to the countryside by the woman newly married by her father, and she was tortured. Now 12 years have passed, and it is normal that the princess does not recognize her.
After Yu Qianxun finished speaking, he casually threw out the long whip in his sleeve and attacked the princess. Ruxin's eyes are quick, and he took the whip thrown by Yu Qianxun forward with his sword, and motioned for Ruyi to take the princess first.
The backyard of the inn suddenly swords, and Princess Xuanji and the three of them swung their swords at the same time to defend against the enemy.
If the opinion is not good, tell Ruxin to be careful, and take the princess to prepare to fight out of the encirclement.
Yun Qianxun shook the whip again, and roared angrily: "Don't even think about leaving, let me be executed on the spot!" ”
After all, Ruxin is the one who protects the princess, and martial arts are naturally not a problem, although it is difficult to have fewer enemies. Under the cover of Ruxin, Ruyi and the princess still managed to escape into the woods.
Yu Qianxun was so anxious that she shattered Ruxin's wrist bone with a whip, and the pain of drilling her heart made her unable to let go of the long sword in her hand. With no weapon in her hand, Nina was quickly subdued.
Leaving the two to take Nina back to the inn, Yu Qianxun personally led people to chase Princess Xuanji and the little maid.
This time the two countries are reconciled, and the only person who agrees to be friendly is Princess Xuanji, if she wants to replace her, the real Princess Xuanji must die.
As for returning to his family, it was a year later, and even if the emperor knew that his daughter was dead, he would not be able to do anything about it.
Besides, the emperor may not wait for a year, and he will go to the west first.
The trees were lush with foliage, but they felt desolate, even the moon was obscured from the light, Princess Xuanji and Ruyi fell to the ground several times because they ran too quickly, and quickly got up and continued to run forward.
The two of them finally staggered out of the woods, thinking that they could escape more smoothly by the bright moonlight, but what was waiting for them in front of them was a bottomless cliff, and there was no way to escape at this moment.
Princess Xuanji Jin Zhi Yuye, who grew up under the joy of everyone since she was a child, where has she ever seen such a battle? has long been frightened of the six gods, clutching the Ruyi around him, and he has no idea in a panic.
Seeing that Yu Qianxun is about to chase after them.
Ruyi saw the rattan on the edge of the cliff and comforted the panicked princess, asking her to grab the rattan and flee down first, while she stayed behind to block the men in black.
Princess Xuanji trembled forward, cautiously reaching out to grab the rattan, and suddenly an arrow pierced her hand, and Princess Xuanji screamed in fright and retracted her hand.
Yu Qianhiro and the man in black had already arrived, and Ruyi vigilantly protected the princess behind him. She didn't see Ruxin appear, and a tingle flashed in her heart, she knew that Ruxin might have been killed by them.
Yu Qianxun's eyes were gloomy, pointed to Princess Xuanji, and explained sharply to the burly man beside her:
"Give me the one who catches me alive, I'll reward her to you, if you let them jump down and you can't find the body, you all have to follow the burial, do you hear clearly?!"
The man in black replied in unison, holding a torch as the two in front of him approached.
Listening to Princess Xuanji's helpless shouting, don't come here, don't come near me and other pale words, Yu Qianxun's heart flashed the pleasure of revenge.
Xuanji, it was your father who first bullied my mother and made her die of shame, and you will repay this account tenfold and hundredfold.
"Who doesn't want to live anymore? Dare to go wild on my turf. ”
Just as several men in black were about to approach the princess, a distant and powerful male voice suddenly sounded in the air.
Everyone stopped moving forward and turned back vigilantly, only to see a handsome one-eyed man flying from the depths of the woods. Behind him was a group of bandits with swords in their hands.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several people blocked in front of Yu Qianxun, drawing their swords to defend against the enemy, while the remaining few people looked at Princess Xuanji to prevent her from jumping off the cliff in a hurry.
The man in a slender black dress flew down not far from Yu Qianxun, tall but not rough, with restrained eyes and a flamboyant smile at the corner of his mouth.
Yu Qianxun looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart:
"Your Excellency is the one-eyed dragon in Guanjiazhai? Everyone was caught by me, and you brought someone over, isn't this deal too unauthentic? ”
Daddy spent a lot of money to hire someone to help her, and when she got here, she realized that the other party was just a ruffian with no integrity at all, and for the sake of money, he could do anything to go back on his word and smash his own signboard.
The one-eyed man glanced at Yu Qianhiro, who was glaring angrily, stretched out his hand to take the torch handed by the person next to him, and circled around the group of people unhurriedly, and finally came to Princess Xuanji, and looked at her with a chuckle:
"It is said that Princess Xuanji is as beautiful as a flower, and she is captivating the country and the city, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, such a beautiful golden branch and jade leaf, if it died like this, it would be a pity."
As he spoke, he reached out to support Princess Xuanji's chin, turned around Ruyi, and protected the princess behind him again, seeing that the person did not bring a weapon, so he did not take the initiative to attack.
Ruyi is a smart person who knows how to read words and feelings, although these two groups of people are in an employment relationship just now, but they obviously don't deal with each other, she wants to see the situation first, maybe she can take advantage of it.
