Chapter 343: Assassin

As he spoke, Chu Yue'an's eyes suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "There are people underwater." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai's expression also became cold: "Assassin? ”

"Not sure." Chu Yue'an said, "If the other party is really an assassin, it must also be aimed at Your Majesty, do you save it or not?" ”

The corners of Yuwen Jinghuai's mouth hooked up a sneering smile, and he said with a deep groan: "It may not be for Your Majesty, he is traveling today, I didn't get any news in advance, I'm afraid it's a temporary trip, so who has the ability to ambush the killer in advance?" ”

"Coming at us?" Chu Yue'an asked.

"If it's not for us, it's probably for the sake of temptation." Yuwen Jinghuai squinted his eyes and said.

"Your Majesty's boat is not surrounded by guards, and in terms of Your Majesty's personality, it shouldn't be." Chu Yue'an said, "The possibility of temptation is high. ”

"Let's see what's going on."

The two of them seemed to be talking on their faces, but their expressions were both paying attention to the situation on the water.

After the boat on the surface of the river had rowed some distance, the ripples on the surface of the water gradually increased, and then several black shadows were seen leaping up from the water, holding blades glowing with cold light in their hands, and slashed towards the small boat in unison.

The surrounding onlookers were so frightened that they scattered, Chu Yue'an and Yuwen Jinghuai stood up at the same time, staring at the situation over there, and at this time, the voice of Gonggong Qu shouting "help" came.

After the two looked at each other, they had already made up their minds.

Yuwen Jinghuai got up and jumped, his toes stepped on a peach blossom lamp on the river, his body had already flown towards the boat, he pulled out the sword on his waist, and in a flash of cold light, a killer fell into the water, and red blood appeared on the surface of the water.

Seeing that a killer was about to make a move on Qu Heyi outside the cabin, Yuwen Jinghuai stepped forward and kicked him away, and then asked, "Gonggong Qu, are you okay?" ”

Qu Heyi escaped, overjoyed, and his eyes were full of surprise: "King Chu, why are you here?" ”

"Your Majesty is on board too?" Yuwen Jinghuai asked.

"yes!"

Yuwen Jinghuai nodded, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's rescue is here!" ”

Liu Guifei in the cabin was already so frightened that her face was bloodless, hiding in Yu Wenqi's arms, and she was also surprised when she heard the words: "Your Majesty, it is the voice of the King of Chu." ”

Yu Wenqi's complexion did not fluctuate much, but his eyes shone with a fine light.

Yuwen Jinghuai fought with the assassin outside the cabin, and seeing this, Chu Yue'an pulled out the dagger in his boots, and also stepped on the lantern on the river, and headed towards the boat.

As soon as she passed, the silver needle in her hand shot out first, and the two stern killers made a move and fell into the water. Chu Yue'an landed at the stern of the boat, with a little foot on his feet, and fought with the two people on the top of the boat.

At the same time, four or five small boats appeared slowly, and on them sat guards, who were belated,

With the addition of these guards, these killers will not be able to survive, and they will all be killed in a short time.

Chu Yue'an fell to Yuwen Jinghuai's side, Yuwen Jinghuai looked at her and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Chu Yuean shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai half-knelt outside the cabin and reported: "Your Majesty is frightened, the assassins have all been killed, and now they are safe." ”

"Come in." Yu Wenqi said lightly.

Yuwen Jinghuai opened the cabin door and entered, only to see Yuwen Qi sitting upright as usual, seeing this, he understood in his heart that today was indeed a temptation, but Liu Guifei on the side had a bloodless face, and he didn't know about today's events.

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen Niangniang." Yu Wenjing knelt down, "I didn't expect Niangniang to be here." ”

"Why is the King of Chu here?" Liu Guifei calmed down her shock and asked with a smile.

"The minister brought Yue'an to this peach blossom festival today, I really didn't expect His Majesty to bring his mother over today." Yuwen Jinghuai said, "Your Majesty and Niangniang are all right, right?" ”

"You came in time, nothing happened." Yu Wenqi said, "Yue'an is also outside? Let her in. ”

"Yes."

Yuwen Jinghuai got up, opened the hatch, and let Chu Yue in.

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen the concubine." Chu Yue'an knelt down and said goodbye.

"Let's be flat."

"It's a great pleasure to be here." Liu Guifei said, "Don't kneel, come to the side of the palace." ”

Chu Yue'an got up and knelt beside Concubine Liu, she touched Chu Yue'an's hair, pressed the broken hair on her face behind her ears, and asked gently, "Are you not hurt, child?" ”

"Thanks to the blessings of Your Majesty and Niangniang, it's okay." Chu Yuean said.

"You're wearing men's clothes today, and this palace almost didn't recognize you." Liu Guifei smiled lightly.

"I knew that you had some kung fu on you, but I didn't expect your skills to be so sharp, so that I was also surprised." Yuwen Qi said with a smile, "Today, you and the King of Chu have made meritorious contributions to saving the driver, and I want to reward you well." ”

"Protecting Your Majesty's safety is what your courtiers and the King of Chu should do, and you don't dare to ask Your Majesty for a reward." Chu Yuean lowered his eyes and said.

"Merit is meritorious, and there is no need to be humble." Yu Wenqi said, "I won't treat you badly. ”

Liu Guifei took off a green bracelet on her wrist and brought it to Chu Yue'an's hand, and said: "This is the bracelet that His Majesty gave to the palace when the palace and His Majesty met for the first time. ”

"This ...... Since it was given to Niangniang by His Majesty, it must be Niangniang's beloved thing, and the courtiers did not dare to accept it, so they asked Niangniang to take it back. ”

"It's okay, just take it. Your Majesty gave this palace too many things last time, and this bracelet can be regarded as a blessing for this palace. Liu Guifei smiled, "Your Majesty won't be unhappy, right?" ”

"It's been given to you, it's up to you."

Yuwen Jinghuai looked at Chu Yue'an, and said with a gentle expression: "Since it is a piece of the concubine's heart, you can just accept it." ”

"The courtier thanked the concubine."

After a while, the boat docked, Yuwen Qi got off the boat first, Chu Yuean helped Liu Guifei to follow closely behind, and glanced at Yuwen Jinghuai.

On the shore, on one side are the corpses of the killers, and on the other side are the guards who knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Can you leave a living mouth?" Yu Wenqi asked coldly.

"Your Majesty atons for your sins, and there is no living mouth."

"Check!" Yu Wenqi said coldly, "We must find out the instigators behind the scenes." ”

"Yes."

Chu Yue sighed silently in his heart, this assassination, although Yuwen Qi was testing Yuwen Jinghuai, but the assassination of His Majesty was a big deal after all, and if you investigate it like this, I don't know how many people will suffer because of this.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, let the minister escort you back to the palace." Yu Wenjing stepped forward and said.

"Hmm." Yu Wenqi nodded, "The concubine was quite frightened today, so let's go back to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Chu Yue'an helped Liu Guifei to go in the direction of the carriage, but when he saw the body of the black-clothed killer, he suddenly opened his eyes, and he didn't know where to take out a dagger and stabbed it at the back of the concubine.

"Be careful." Chu Yue'an pushed Liu Guifei, but her arm was injured by the dagger, she took two steps back, and then kicked the dagger in the assassin's hand away.

Yuwen Jinghuai then stepped forward and kicked his assassin away, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward to subdue him, and the assassin bit the poison inside his teeth and died of poisoning.

"Are you alright?" Yuwen Jinghuai looked at the wound on Chu Yue'an's arm and asked distressedly.

"It's just a small injury, don't worry." Chu Yue'an said, she then turned around and asked Liu Guifei to plead guilty, "The incident happened suddenly, and I collided with Niangniang, please atone for my sins." ”

"Child, you just saved the life of this palace." Concubine Liu Guifei half-snuggled in Yu Wenqi's arms, patted her chest and said, "This palace will definitely thank you heavily." ”

Yu Wenqi glanced at the guards coldly, and shouted, "Isn't there no life?" How could such a situation still happen! ”

The guards knelt down together and pleaded guilty for their dereliction of duty.

It's just that now is not the time to deal with them, after Yuwen Qi scolded these people, he said to Yuwen Jinghuai: "I take the concubine back to the palace first, and the king of Chu doesn't have to escort him, you take Yue'an to the doctor first and deal with the wound on his arm." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Subsequently, Yuwen Qi left with the concubine, Yuwen Jinghuai took Chu Yue'an's hand and said with a dark face: "Let's go and treat your wound first." ”

At this time, Sui Feng rushed over with Caixing, and Caixing was startled when he saw that Chu Yuean was actually injured, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay, why are you injured?" ”

"It's just a skin injury, a small thing."

Yuwen Jinghuai took advantage of his face and said, "Who allowed you to block the sword for the concubine?" What if something happens? ”

Chu Yue'an smiled helplessly, and said: "The situation just now does not allow me not to do this, that assassin seems to get up quickly, but it is leaving me time to react, if I am indifferent, everything we have done today will be in vain." ”

"Then I won't allow it." Yuwen Jinghuai's face was still not very good-looking, "Even if I am suspected by His Majesty, I don't want you to be harmed in any way, there is any danger, you know?" ”

The corners of Chu Yue'an's mouth hooked, and he laughed softly: "I know, don't have a face, you don't know my situation, and your kung fu will recover in a day or two." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai's expression softened, holding Chu Yue'an's arm, looking at her wound, and asking, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." Chu Yue'an replied habitually.

Yuwen Jinghuai asked again, "Does it hurt?" ”

Chu Yue'an was a little puzzled about how he asked the repetitive question, raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were full of touching tenderness, and his heart softened, smiled softly, nodded and said, "Actually, it hurts a little." ”
