Chapter 228: Assassination
When the thunderous sound reached Xie's house, Chi Tang was being pulled by Xue Zheng to introduce the legendary Xie Da girl.
When he saw this eldest girl Xie who had heard her name for a long time in her previous life, Chi Tang was still a little ashamed.
How so? After all, she seems to have snatched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away while the other party was still guarding filial piety......
Miss Xie is worthy of being the crown princess that His Majesty and the Duke of Qi Guo look up to, and the four words Zhong Lingyuxiu seem to exist for her.
Beautiful, elegant, gentle and amiable, just like His Royal Highness the Prince-
Of course not!
Chi Tang thought that he was going to be the crown princess in the future, and he couldn't lose his momentum, so he was busy searching for how to behave in his mind.
After filtering Xue Zheng's arrogance and Gao Jiwen's hypocrisy, Chi Tang found that among the girls she knew, only Mr. Lu and the eldest sister could be called imposing, no, His Royal Highness the Prince!
Who to learn?
Chi Tang just started thinking that Xue Zheng had already introduced her.
There was no time to think about it, Chi Tang hurriedly came back to his senses and subconsciously smiled at Miss Xie.
Miss Xie also laughed: "Ah Chi is so good-looking. ”
Chi Tang hurriedly replied modestly: "No, it's not as good-looking as Miss Xie!" ”
It's the truth.
Among the girls Chi Tang has seen, the one who is more beautiful than Xie is not as temperamental as her, and the one who is more temperamental than her is not as beautiful as her.
Such a perfect girl, not being a princess or a queen, is really a little-
No! It's not a pity at all!
Chi Tang hurriedly strengthened his belief.
Miss Xie looked at her and smiled, and was about to speak again, when suddenly—
"Boom!"
It was as if thunder sounded in the sky, shaking the ground.
"What's going on?"
"What sound?"
There was chaos in the house.
Miss Xie instructed the maids around her to go out to inquire, and when she turned around, she saw that Miss Chi's eyes were looking straight in the direction where the sound came from, and her little face turned pale, as if she was frightened.
She saw pity in her heart, so she took her hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, this voice is far away—"
"I'll take a look!" Before she could finish speaking, Miss Chi shook off her hand and ran out.
Miss Xie was busy chasing after her, and at the same time asked people to stop her.
If something really happened outside, she couldn't let such a little girl run out and take risks.
However, as soon as the little girl Chi ran out of the door, she shouted "Tsing Yi", and then, out of nowhere, a cyan figure flashed out of nowhere, took the little girl away, flew up the tree, stepped on the eaves and left.
……
Tsing Yi carried her out of Xie's house, stepped on the roof for a while, and then stopped.
Because I've seen where the sound is.
Outside the door, the figures are like piles, the cold light is like weaving, and the people in black shuttle among them, even if Chi Tang can't understand it, he also feels that there is danger.
On the edge of the battle, there was a large pit several feet square, as if it had been smashed out by flint falling from the sky, and the smell of scorched earth could be smelled from so far away.
And what really made Chi Tang tremble with fear was the blackened figure in the pit.
"Quick, take me over......" Chi Tang shuddered and went to pull Tsing Yi's clothes.
Tsing Yi clenched her hand: "It's dangerous there!" ”
Chi Tang shook her off and ran out on his own.
She only saw the figure in her eyes, and there was no path under her feet, so she took a step and slid down the ridge of the roof.
Tsing Yi hurriedly stepped forward to grab her and landed.
"I'll take a look!" Chi Tang struggled to run forward.
What dangers? What is the danger?
Can the sword shadow be more terrifying than that figure?
It's not that Tsing Yi didn't see it, it's not that she wasn't frightened, but in this case, how dare she let Chitang go over?
When he was in distress, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and before he could get close, a gray shadow swooped down.
"Why did you bring Xiao Tangtang here? What did you bring her for in such a dangerous place? Is this a place for small children to play? You've been away for too long, have you? Believe it or not, Your Highness is coming and beating you up—"
"Your Highness!" Tsing Yi hurriedly picked up Chi Tang and turned around to meet Li Yan, who was riding a horse first.
"What's going on?" Li Yan was also shocked when he saw Chi Tang.
"Someone used a fire thunderbolt, and Miss Chi heard the movement and ran over—" Tsing Yi paused slightly, "Someone is injured." ”
Li Yan was taken aback.
"Let me go...... Let me go, I'll go and see......" Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't seen him at all, her eyes were looking straight ahead, tears rolling in her eyes, but they hadn't fallen.
"Chi Changting? No way? No, it won't! How could he get hurt? Hahaha...... Although it looks a bit like it at first glance, it certainly won't be his, you kid, what are you crying about, when you look back, your father sees it and thinks we're bullying you-"
"Why bother!" Li Yan let out a low snort.
Before the words fell, why bother to rush out.
Li Yan bent down to scoop Chitang onto the horse's back and galloped forward.
Chi Tang trembled all over, watching why he rushed to the pit, snatched the charred man from the forbidden army who had just entered the pit to help people, and hurriedly wiped the dust on his face.
"Chi Changting......" She heard why she trembled and called, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
"Ah Tang!" Li Yan hurriedly stopped her horse and pinched her man.
Chi Tang woke up in shock, struggled to get off the horse, and muttered: "Daddy is injured, I'll go and see, I'll go and see ......"
Li Yan hugged her and dismounted, but before she could stand still, she stumbled out.
Halfway through the rush, Chi Tang suddenly stopped.
Ahead, in the pit blown out by the fire and thunder bombs, the charred man helped He Bi staggered to his feet.
He pushed away He Bi's support, and after standing firm, he raised his arm and shook it, shaking off the scorched earth, revealing the true face of the scarlet official uniform.
There was still a piece of charred black on the back of the official uniform, maybe it was the color of the scorched earth, maybe it was really injured.
But it's great that he's alive......
Chi Tang's tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell.
Why bother to help him again, he was still pushed away, and then he raised his right hand.
Chi Tang wiped away his tears and recognized that what he was holding in his hand was Zhanyu's portable crossbow.
"Stop!" Someone behind him shouted.
But the arrow is off the line.
Where the arrow went, a middle-aged man in prison clothes walked out of the crowd, looking at no one in his eyes, as if he didn't know anything about the danger around him.
The bolt sank into his throat with unmistakable accuracy, and he raised his hand forward, but his body fell backwards.
Chi Tang was about to turn his head to look in the direction the man was looking, but he was covered by Li Yan behind him.
"Father--" a woman cried out in a heart-rending voice, and her grief was heart-wrenching.
Before long, the woman roared again: "Kill them and avenge the king of the county!" ”
Kill whom?
Chi Tang was startled and pulled Li Yan's hand hard.
As if because of the death of the middle-aged man, all the people in black rushed towards Chi Changting as if they were desperate.
Why bother to cover his retreat, but he pushed to the side: "Protect Mr. Lu!" ”
Mr. Lu?
Before Chi Tang had time to think about it, he saw Chi Changting stumbling.
The man in black who was running at the front had already raised his long knife, and the sword was slashing towards the top of her only relative's head.
Chi Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and clenched his left arm suddenly-
