As the sky got dark, Lin Ruan used his ability to probe the situation nearby, and after finding nothing abnormal, he ordered people to stop and rest.

The carriages and horses pulling goods formed a huge circle, surrounding Lin Ruan's carriage in the middle, and the 1,000 elite soldiers gathered between the carriage and horses and Lin Ruan's carriage.

Because of the assassination during the day, everyone's nerves were tense.

The coachmen and guards began to set up simple pots and stoves to make fires for cooking, and Lu Cao and Jin Luan also moved the stoves from the carriage and were busy cooking food for Lin Ruan and Xiuxiu.

After a day in the car, Lin Ruan only felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, so he took Xiuxiu out of the car for a walk.

The night temperature in northern Xinjiang is somewhat low, and there can be a gap of more than 20 degrees between the temperature and the daytime temperature.

Xiuxiu couldn't help but shiver as soon as she got out of the car, "It's so cold." ”

Lin Ruan asked Bai Zhi to take a piece of clothing and put it on Xiuxiu.

It was the end of summer, and the stars in the sky seemed to be able to reach out.

Lin Ruan found a dead tree, jumped up, and then dragged Xiuxiu up as well. The two sisters looked up at the galaxy and only felt that it was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

Xiuxiu suddenly said: "Sister, it seems that today is Tanabata." ”

Lin Ruan was stunned for a moment, "Valentine's Day? ”

Xiuxiu was puzzled: "Sister, what is Valentine's Day?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled, she actually moved the festival of her previous life. There is no Valentine's Day here, and Tanabata has nothing to do with lovers.

However, as a modern person, she still couldn't help but be a little hypocritical, and regretted that she couldn't leave earlier. In this way, maybe she will be able to catch up with Xiao Jingchen to celebrate Qixi Festival.

The green calyx walked towards the dead tree, stood under the tree and shouted, "Princess, second girl, the meal is ready, come down and eat." ”

Lin Ruan was about to jump under the tree when he suddenly paused and whistled with a somewhat serious expression.

Enemies are coming!

The elite guards who were eating immediately threw down the food they had just eaten a few bites of and put them on guard.

But after waiting for a while, there was silence all around, except for the sound of wind and insects, there was no movement. Some of the guards even felt that Lin Ruan was frightened by the wave of assassins during the day, so some of them were all soldiers.

He Junxian saw that Jia Yi and the others had been very vigilant, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”

A glanced at him and did not speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, He Junxian didn't ask any more, thought about it, and beckoned his subordinates, "Let's continue eating." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sound broke the silence of the summer night.

"Enemy attack! Stay protected! ”

Immediately afterwards, sharp arrows rained down from the sky.

The guards immediately drew their arrows and swung them to ward off the rain of arrows.

Fei Xu and Luo Ying blocked Lin Ruan and Xiuxiu behind them, and retreated into the carriage step by step. After the two of them entered the carriage, Fei Fu immediately opened the mechanism of the carriage, and the carriage suddenly turned into a closed space, blocking all dangers from the outside.

Green Calyx and Jin Luan panicked to find cover, but fortunately, the two of them were lucky enough to get under the carriage very smoothly.

One after another arrows hit the outer wall of the carriage, and the sound made Xiuxiu tremble in fright.

Lin Ruan's eyes were cold, she had changed her route temporarily.

This time there were several times more Assassins than during the day, and they were so well equipped that they were even used for long-range attacks. It's kind of interesting that such a large group of assassins sneaked into the northern frontier to intercept her, and were able to adjust their route in time to intercept her.

After a while, the rain of arrows stopped, and a clear sound of attack came from far and near, and soon the two sides began to fight, and the sound of weapons cheating into the carriage.

Xiuxiu was so frightened that she shrank straight into Lin Ruan's arms, "Sister, I'm afraid." ”

Lin Ruan patted her on the back gently, "Don't be afraid, with Sister A, no one can hurt you." ”

The ability passed through the carriage, and Lin Ruan's old trick was repeated, and soon, the battle ended smoothly.

Lin Ruan opened the mechanism, and a strong smell of blood hit his face, causing Xiuxiu to retch.

"How's it going?" Lin Ruan hugged Xiuxiu and asked outside.

When Fei Fu stepped forward to reply, there were still some blood stains on his face, "Princess, all the assassins have been killed, and some of our people have been injured, and they are counting." ”

Lin Ruan nodded, "Let Bai Zhi go over and help." ”

Xiuxiu suddenly raised her head from Lin Ruan's arms, "Sister, I also want to help." ”

Lin Ruan glanced down at her, "Are you okay?" ”

I can't even resist the smell of blood, can I really face those bloody wounds?

Xiuxiu had a white face, but said very firmly: "I can do it, sister, let me try." ”

Lin Ruan thought for a while and nodded, "Go ahead, if you are afraid, come back, no one will laugh at you." ”

Xiuxiu pursed her lips tightly and nodded.

Lin Ruan didn't restrain her, and only let Fei Yu follow, in case there was any emergency.

And she herself called A few people and He Junxian over to discuss things.

Lin Ruan's expression was a little worried and anxious, "At present, our convoy is still three days away from the military camp, and there must be a lot of assassins along the way, and the strength and number of assassins are only afraid that they will become stronger and stronger." What can you do? ”

He Junxian said: "The subordinates believe that for the safety of the princess, Fei Xu pretended to be the princess and led the convoy to attract assassins, while the princess and the second girl were escorted by a group of elite soldiers to the military camp by taking a small path to avoid danger, and they could also arrive a day earlier. ”

Lin Ruan turned his head to look at Jia and the others, "What do you think?" ”

A few people thought that this proposal was good, and Fei Yu pretended to be Lin Ruan to attract the attention of the assassins, and Lin Ruan took Xiuxiu to take the path to the barracks, so that they could reach the military camp in advance, and they could also deal with those assassins with all their might without worries.

Lin Ruan nodded, "Then it's decided, let's act tonight, while the other party hasn't noticed it, Xiuxiu and I will leave tonight." A-1, you go and arrange it, and bring enough people. ”

As soon as A took the order, he quickly completed the matter.

Because she wanted to hide people's eyes, Lin Ruan did not take the carriage, but rode a horse instead, Xiuxiu was protected by her with a wide cloak, and if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't see anything unusual at all.

The convoy restarted and moved on.

Half an hour later, when passing through a mountain depression, a small group of top elites escorted Lin Ruan and Xiuxiu in disguise, quietly separated from the convoy and set off in another direction, and the large convoy moved forward according to the original route.

At dawn, Lin Ruan and the others arrived at a small village.

Lin Ruan felt a little sleepy, so he said to He Junxian: "Captain He, you let people go into the village and ask to see if you can borrow a place to rest, I'm too tired, I can't bear it." ”

He Junxian reined in his horse, told the small team to stop, and entered the village by himself.

After a while, he came back again and said to Lin Ruan: "Princess, you have found a place, please go this way with your subordinates." ”

Lin Ruan nodded, pulled the reins, and let the lightning follow behind He Junxian.
