The carriages in the palace were all specially made carriages, with two thin layers of wood sandwiched between a layer of iron plates. The long arrows could not penetrate the carriage, and they landed on the first layer of wooden planks, and the sound of nails was incessant.

Cheng Jinrong's expression was calm, and anger piled up in his eyes.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, she walked out of the Second Prince's Mansion with her front foot, and met this moment with her back foot.

Where did the Assassin come from, and why was she able to grasp her whereabouts so accurately?

Either the second prince or the Marquis of Yong'an

Or maybe the two of them joined forces to put her to death

"Imperial Doctor Cheng" A hurried man's voice sounded outside the carriage: "There are at least thirty of these assassins, and they are very ruthless. We will try our best to block it, and we will definitely protect the safety of Doctor Cheng, please stay in the carriage with peace of mind, and don't show up. ”

This is the leader of the guards who accompanied her escort, surnamed Han.

Cheng Jinrong took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Please Commander Han immediately order someone to go to the Second Prince's Mansion to ask for help."

Commander Han smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice: "Just now, a wave of dark arrows injured a few people. Now everyone is trying to fend off the Assassins, really"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of blades clashing sounded. Then, Commander Han's angry cry of pain came.

Cheng Jinrong's heart jumped suddenly.

Commander Han was also injured

There were still dark arrows outside the carriage, and the sound of nails falling on the carriage was like a horn urging life.

Suddenly, the horse pulling the cart ran forward like a madman, and the carriage was jolting. Cheng Jinrong was hit on the forehead, and there was a tingling pain.

"The horse was hit by an arrow"

"Come on, go and cut off the horse's leg and stop the carriage"

"Hurry up and protect Imperial Doctor Cheng"

The shouts were endless.

I don't know which guard it was, so he rushed forward desperately and cut off the horse's leg with a knife. The frenzied horse neighed at the sky and fell to the ground. The carriage also toppled forward. Cheng Jinrong stumbled, but fortunately he didn't fall.

Cheng Jinrong pursed the corners of his mouth and took out a three-inch sharp blade from the medicine box he carried. The familiar handle of the knife in her hand gave her a little more peace of mind in such a critical situation.

The heavens reborn her, and they would never watch her die here. She'll be safe

Another exclamation: "What man"

"Could it be an accomplice of the Assassins"

"No, they're working with this moment. They're here to save Imperial Doctor Cheng."

Who are they

Why did a group of people suddenly appear again?

Cheng Jinrong's heart beat faster, and he resisted the urge to rush out. Sitting on the floor of the carriage, holding her three-inch blade tightly.

Time seemed to stop flowing, standing still in this moment.

Cheng Jinrong couldn't see anything clearly, so he could only prick up his ears and listen to the movement outside the carriage. The clashing of swords, the whizzing of cold arrows, the sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh, and the screams that rang out from time to time.

It is ridiculous that such a movement failed to alarm the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion.

I don't know how long it took, but it finally calmed down outside the carriage.

A footstep sounded outside the carriage, and then, a hand landed on the door of the carriage, trying to open it.

Cheng Jinrong stared at the carriage door tightly.

The carriage door has been bolted from the inside by Cheng Jinrong, and of course it can't be opened. The hand did not use brute force, and quickly stopped, and a familiar young man's voice sounded softly: "Cousin Rong, don't be afraid, the assassins have all bowed down." ”

Cheng Jinrong was silent.

The voice was so familiar that it was impossible for her to pretend she couldn't hear it

Pei Zhang

How could he be here

How could he show up so in time and save her

Soon, Commander Han's voice came into his ears: "Imperial Doctor Cheng, Captain Pei has brought a hundred imperial guards here, and those assassins have all been killed." Doctor Cheng rest assured."

Cheng Jinrong was shocked again.

Pei Zhang's timely appearance was already shocking. How could he bring the imperial guards to all this, what the hell is going on

Cheng Jinrong calmed down and stretched out his hand to open the car door. As soon as I raised my eyes, I fell into a pair of deep and secluded eyes.

At this time, Cheng Jinrong was a little embarrassed. A bruise was knocked out of his forehead, and his clothes and hair were disheveled. But her expression was not flustered, and she remained calm and calm after a sudden assassination. A pair of eyes flashed with flames, and he looked fixedly at the handsome young man outside the carriage.

Pei Zhang was dressed in soft armor, and the long knife in his hand had not yet been sheathed, and blood dripped from the blade to the ground.

Not far away, there were dozens of corpses, as well as several guards with injuries ranging from severity.

From the moment of the attack, it has only been two incense sticks until now. So many people died. It can be seen how fierce the battle just now

"Pei Zhang" Cheng Jinrong looked at him and spit out a few words in his mouth: "What's going on here"

Pei Zhang didn't avoid her gaze, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the palace first, and I will give you an explanation." ”

Cheng Jinrong's thoughts were sharp and fast, and he reacted quickly.

Pei Zhang opened his mouth and said that he would return to the palace, which shows that Emperor Xuanhe already knew about it. In fact, without the approval of Emperor Xuanhe, Pei Zhang would not have been able to bring so many imperial guards.

Whether it was the second prince or the Marquis of Yong'an who secretly wanted to kill her, they were all broken by Pei Zhang

Cheng Jinrong's heart surged through countless chaotic thoughts, and in the end, it turned into a silent sigh.

She didn't want to owe Pei Zhang the most affection. But now, this helping hand, whether she wants it or not, has to accept it.

"Thank you." Cheng Jinrong is not a hypocritical person, and quickly opened his mouth to thank him: "If you hadn't come in time today, I might not have escaped this catastrophe." ”

Pei Zhang stared at Cheng Jinrong, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "As long as you're fine." ”

Commander Han, whose arm was injured, coughed vigorously: "There are so many dead and injured people, let's go back to the palace to report to the emperor and Niangniang first."

Pei Zhang nodded.

The carriage could not be sitting, and he had to ride back to the palace.

Cheng Jinrong's equestrian skills are not exquisite, but fortunately, there is no need to gallop, and there is always no problem with riding a horse. A group of imperial guards, front and back, left and right, protected Cheng Jinrong in the middle.

Pei Zhang rode a horse, right beside her.

Her thoughts were so confused that she didn't speak again.

Pei Zhang didn't say anything, and the expression on Jun's face was strangely calm. It seems that riding this part of the road with her is already satisfied.

When they arrived outside the palace gate, everyone dismounted.

Cheng Jinrong finally turned his head and glanced at Pei Zhang, his eyes were extremely complicated: "Pei Zhang, why are you doing this." ”

With her intelligence, she has naturally figured out the cause and effect of this matter.

Today's assassins were sent by the second prince.

Pei Zhang had long known that the second prince was going to kill her.

In the past few months, he has been moving closely with the second prince in order to facilitate the news. He was able to bring the imperial guards today, which shows that he has privately reported to Emperor Xuanhe

Pei Zhang smiled faintly, and his words were very concise: "I am willing." ”

With that, he strode away.

Cheng Jinrong stood in place for a moment, watching Pei Zhang's back go away, with mixed feelings in his heart.
