Chapter 33: Assassination by Two Parties

The Lu family's honesty and integrity are highly praised both in the government and the opposition and among the people. People like them read the books of Confucius and Mencius and sages, and they respect justice and self-cultivation and protect their names. They are good officials in the secular sense, but unfortunately they are the most inflexible and wicked, and they love fame very much, and they value fame more than life. The more this is the case, it is easy to be different, "the water is clear, there are no fish", you can't even live, and you have to do something in vain, it's better to give it a go.

"Fame and fortune? This king saves! ”

Fame and fortune are double-edged, the positive blade hurts others and the reverse blade hurts oneself.

Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and joked lightly, and he didn't delay to say goodbye to King Shou immediately. Jiang Huaixin watched Xie Yaoguang disappear step by step from his sight, and moved his eyes back to King Shou, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Your Highness, Xie Yaoguang is shrewd and sophisticated, tactful, and his methods are terrifying." Jiang Huaixin didn't know whether he was praising or derogating when he said this, and sighed: "If Your Highness wants to control her, you still need to put some thought into it." ”

"It doesn't matter. This king likes fast knives, and quick knives can kill. How's that going? ”

"It's already in ambush on the road."

King Shou moved his eyes to look at the rose in the corner of the wall, and hooked his lips slightly.

On the carriage, Xie Yaoguang slightly lifted his eyes and covered half of his pupils, and his fingers rubbed the nine rings in his sleeves. He took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, raising his eyes with no hiding of disgust.

"Sure enough, people are the most disgusted with snakes, and they are really disgusting after staying for a long time." The tone was very playful, and Xie Yaoguang slowly tilted his lips.

"Miss, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't we go to the Star Tower. Suzaku handed the tea to Xie Yaoguang and then asked.

"Let's go!"

The carriage drove slowly into the city, but on a secluded path. In the car, Xie Yaoguang lifted the curtain and looked out, and couldn't help but hook his lips. Shou Wang's idea is really good.

The car shook violently, followed by the wailing of animals, and the carriage tilted in an instant, and blood slowly spread on the curtains. Xie Yaoguang pulled his lips and looked at him, and Suzaku pressed his hand on his waist, and the whole person was protecting Xie Yaoguang. I heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air, and when I looked up, I saw that the roof of the car was split by a sharp sword qi, and a man in black raised his sword and stabbed straight down. Suzaku immediately waved his palm to force the sword back, and with this skill, he grabbed Xie Yaoguang's hand and jumped out of the carriage.

They were attacked by six black-clothed dead soldiers, and when they saw Xie Yaoguang appear in the crowd, they immediately divided into two parts, one of which entangled the Vermilion Bird and the other went straight to Xie Yaoguang. Xie Yaoguang was not afraid to turn around lightly to avoid the blade that pounced on him, and looked at every sword-wielding dead soldier, with ridicule in his eyes. Hearing a sharp whistle, he saw another team of black-clothed dead soldiers rushing out of the alley, and Xie Yaoguang's eyes slipped a trace of astonishment. I can't imagine that so many people want to kill themselves.

Seeing that someone rushed out again, Suzaku couldn't help but be anxious, secretly annoyed and frightened, where did he run away, why didn't he show up. Swing the sword to separate the sword, and take advantage of this effort to release the letter arrow. The two teams of black-clothed people didn't know each other, and when they saw Suzaku asking for help, the two of them looked at each other, and immediately shouted: "We have been ordered to kill Xie Yaoguang, and we must not retreat until the task is completed." Today, Xie Yaoguang must die. ”

"Stabbing me? Who gave you the guts" The tone was fierce, Xie Yao had no fear on his face, and his lips opened lightly: "Kill!" ”

There was a cracking sound in my ears, followed by a crisp stamping on the eaves almost simultaneously. Immediately, more than ten black shadows appeared in front of Xie Yaoguang and protected her behind her.

"Let's do it!"

Hearing the order, the ten people moved and began to deal with the dead soldier who assassinated Xie Yaoguang.

"Who is causing trouble here?"

A low snort.

Xie Yaoguang lifted his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Ye Linchen pulling his horse at the entrance of the alley, flying up from the horse, and landed on her side, and the long sword swung out a light and shadow to protect Xie Yaoguang behind him.

Suzaku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Linchen suddenly join the battle, and began to concentrate on dealing with the black-clothed dead soldiers on both sides.

Looking at Ye Linchen who was protecting her behind her, Xie Yaoguang was slightly stunned and let him hold his hand. Ye Linchen's broad palm was rough and calloused, and Xie Yaoguang's heart couldn't help but become sour, just as she was distracted, a snow blade came to her, but it didn't hit Xie Yaoguang. The moment the blade struck, Ye Linchen firmly protected her in his arms, and his movements were agile. Crashing into his eyes along with the blood color was Ye Linchen's muffled snort.

Xie Yaoguang stared at the sword-wielding dead soldier for a moment, and the coldness in his eyes burst out, almost instinctively, and he pulled out the dagger in his sleeve and stabbed it fiercely. Seeing Xie Yaoguang's assassination, Suzaku led the people to immediately pounce and surrounded the two, and the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.

"Ye ......" Xie Yao narrowed his eyes, hurriedly put the words in his throat, and said slowly, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine...... Ahem...... But Miss Xie, how could you encounter such a thing" Ye Linchen clenched his fists and covered his lips, coughed and looked at Xie Yaoguang and said, "These people are all dead soldiers, right?" ”

"Maybe it's someone who doesn't open his eyes, and the murder is done on my head. Ji Yue"

"The subordinates are here."

"Bring these people back." Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, and the killing intent in his pupils became more and more intense: "Interrogate strictly, I want to see who has such a big list!" ”

Ji Yue promised. Immediately, he ordered people to unload the remaining hands and feet, and the joints of his hands and feet were also removed, and then they disappeared into the alley with their respective targets.

"Since Miss Xie is fine, so is this king...... Ahem...... Ahem, I'll go back first" Ye Linchen pressed the wound with one hand and couldn't help coughing, and in his eyes, Xie Yaoguang saw a trace of dead gray permeating.

Seeing that he was coughing badly, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but look at him again, and saw a bloody look on his fingertips. Immediately instructed Suzaku to point to several large points around Ye Linchen's body to prevent the spread of the toxin.

"Your Highness, there is poison on the sword, please follow me to the Hanging Pot Hall to pull out the poison!"

The tone was rather cold.

"A little injury doesn't get in the way...... Ahem. ”

"What do you mean by not getting in the way?" Dai raised his eyebrows, Xie Yaoguang tilted his lips and reprimanded: "You are my lord, in order to save my subordinate from being injured, I naturally can't watch you go back like this." ”

Moving his eyes to Xie Yaoguang, who had an angry face, he always nodded and agreed to follow Xie Yaoguang to the Hanging Pot Hall to pull out the poison.

It took a while to get to the back door of the Hanging Pot Hall. Motioning to Suzaku to come forward and knock on the door, a medicine boy in Tsing Yi opened the door and looked at the group suspiciously.

"...... you?"

"My surname is Xie"

"It turned out to be Miss Proprietor, please come in"

Several people followed the medicine boy into the house, and the medicine boy closed the door for several people. Xie Yaoguang skillfully took out the gold sore medicine from the medicine cabinet, and instructed Suzaku to fetch a basin of water.

"Your Highness, you don't mind if Yaoguang is drugged with you. I'll just take your clothes off."

Ye Linchen was stunned for a moment, but still took off his shirt cooperatively. When he saw Ye Linchen's exposed skin outside, it was Xie Yaoguang's turn to be stunned. Large and small scars, crisscrossed on the back. Some were cut by the sword, and some were cut by the knife...... Xie Yaoguang stretched out his hand to brush those scars, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Why did you scare Miss Xie?"

"Your Highness has suffered a lot over the years," Xie Yaoguang mixed the gold sore medicine with the antidote powder and sprinkled it on Ye Linchen's wound, and pursed his thin lips slightly.

"Bitterness doesn't count. This king just did what he had to do, and it was inevitable that the sword would be injured without eyes on the battlefield" Ye Linchen sneered: "This king can live to this day, which can be regarded as God's blessing." ”
