Chapter 54: The Riverbank

A thin sword quickly pierced through the air, reaching Mo Chang's side with precision, blocking the cold arrow.

Not only that, but it was fired back to the point of origin.

In the small river next to it, a pool of blood came out of the water.

The person who saved Mo Chang was Bai Yi, she was holding a thin sword, protecting Mo Chang in front of her, and with her other hand, she flew out of the thin rope and pulled the princess mansion chief and historian who was as quiet as a wood chicken next to her off the horse, "Be careful." She told the Historian, her voice unusually calm.

The body of a killer gradually floated.

The night was silent. But it's not safe. The two killers who came together finally made a move, short swords and cold arrows attacked one after another, Bai Yi raised one hand, the short sword in his sleeve repelled a cold arrow, and the other hand freed the rope from the long historian and swung out, blocking several other hidden weapons, but because she was alone, she did not dare to act rashly, and she could not leave Mo Chang's side to arrest the assassin.

At this time, a voice that could be said to be very indifferent and very annoying sounded, "What can you do without me?" ”

Hou Cong.

He didn't know where to come from, but at this time, he rode a horse in fresh clothes and walked onto a bridge dozens of feet away, and then, when the assassin decided that the current situation was hopeless, the sound of running away came.

Dugu Zheng, Yuan You, Fluorescent and a few other soldiers who were ambushed here jumped up from the darkness and chased them away.

Bai Yi asked coldly, "Why did General Xiaohou assassinate?" ”

Hou Cong was almost so angry that he fell off the horse, "What nonsense are you talking about, I'm here to escort you." It's you, you fled for no reason, you are not in the combat post, it is easy for me to find, and it is difficult for Your Highness to be in danger. ”

The horse's hooves matched his mood, and he ran up in small steps, and soon arrived at Mo Chang's side.

As a result, where is the shadow of the white clothes?

"Huh?"

Hou Cong's head spun around. I wanted to look around, but I was hugged tightly by Mo Yanyang's long historian, "General Xiaohou is here, don't go!" You're gone, what will Your Highness and I do! ”

Mo Chang stood there, not speaking, without expression. I don't look at Hou Cong either.

Hou Cong could only take out a handkerchief and smell it to stabilize his emotions in case he was angry with Bai Yi, and then dismounted.

"The subordinates pleaded guilty to His Highness, and His Highness was frightened."

"Hmm." Mo Chang agreed, "Shall we wait here, or go back?" ”

Hou Cong glanced at the chief historian, and then at Mo Chang, "Your Highness decides." ”

Hou Cong's move pulled Mo Chang's thoughts back from the Lin family and his mother, and he realized what Hou Cong meant, and immediately changed his attitude, "Go to the official post?" ”

"Yes."

The chief historian was a smart man, and he knew about this assassination, and although he didn't know anything and was frightened, he was suspicious. He pretended to be stupid and helped Mo Chang get on the horse, and Hou Cong followed wherever he went, and he didn't dare to ask or say anything along the way.

One of the two Assassins who escaped was killed, and one was captured, and the one from the river was also fished out. Both the corpse and the living were all brought back to the official post by Dugu Zheng and others. There was nothing too complicated, Hou Cong gave the order, the chief historian and Mo Chang were present, the two corpses were laid out in oilcloth and placed on the ground, and the living one was broken leg, so he was pressed on his head and lay between the two companions.

Their actions were found out by Murong Xing and gave Hou Cong a warning. The slip of collecting money and the confession of the middleman were thrown down first, and Fluorescence personally led people to bring tea and water, and gave them to Hou Cong, Mo Chang and the chief historian. The chief historian fidgeted, took the tea, and didn't dare to drink it.

Yuan stepped on the back of the living assassin again, "Brother, you don't want to live anyway, we let you go, and no one else can let you go." I just want you to know that there is someone in my family who is guarding your house, and if you say anything, he will immediately take your family across the river. I won't be harmed by anything. As for you, you can die a happy death. If you don't cooperate, I don't need to talk about it. ”

The Assassin was silent for a moment, then said a "yes".

Yuan first pulled his hair and asked the assassin to raise his head and look at the chief historian, "Do you recognize him?" ”

"I don't recognize it."

Yuan smiled sweetly and looked at the chief historian, "Do you know this little brother?" ”

The chief historian hurriedly shook his head.

The interrogation proceeded like this, and it was soon determined that the person who sent the assassin was indeed Mo Yanyang, but the person who handled it was a eunuch.

After the Assassin drew the girl, he was taken out.

Hou Cong said the first sentence here: "Let's go." ”

The chief historian followed them, a group of more than 20 people, and carried the corpse, and returned to the princess's mansion that night. Princess Yanyang hadn't slept yet, she was waiting for news, and when she heard the footsteps outside, she knew that something was wrong.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and the princess was sitting on the main seat of the hall with a precarious seat, not smiling at all, wearing a large robe of powder and blue butterflies.

Seeing the corpse, seeing Mo Chang and the others, she pursed her lips and didn't seem to care too much. until I saw Hou Cong.

In fact, she didn't care so much about killing Mo Chang if it was successful or not. She wanted to arouse Hou Cong's concern.

Hou Cong was furious, his eyes were even a little red, and he walked in front of her step by step.

"You sent someone to kill His Royal Highness the Yang Xian King, right?"

Mo Yanyang sitting, shrouded in Hou Cong's breath, his eyelids turned up, and he looked up at the little pink face, "Knowingly asked." How, is it fun? ”

Yuwen Changkong is not wrong in what he said, the princess did this, which really made Hou Cong look at her with admiration. "It's fun, I'd love to play with you."

When these words were spoken, Princess Yanyang's heart jumped, and she believed Changkong even more, "Then let's rest, we can play with each other only after we have taken care of our bodies." ”

Hou Cong turned around and left, not only that, but also took Mo Chang away.

He didn't let go of Mo Chang's hand, and without looking back, he instructed Dugu Zheng, "Let your people go back with Ah and Fluorescent, and give you credit in the future, you stay and live in." ”

Dugu Zheng and the others promised a "yes", and it was as it should be. Hou Cong squeezed Mo Chang tightly, not knowing if he cared about him, because he was really in distress just now and was worried about it, or something else.

Mo Chang didn't know either, but from the initial embarrassment, he gradually changed, and in turn held Hou Cong's hand.

They entered the side courtyard, Yuwen Changkong took a flower and stood under the moon, and when he saw them coming back, Mo Chang was still alive, smiled, and sighed.

Hou Cong suddenly stopped, couldn't tell who to say, and let go of Mo Chang's hand, "I will live in your house from now on, and when I am here, I will not leave you to protect you every step." When I wasn't there, Ah Zheng came to do it. Mo Yanyang, if someone makes you stumble, don't let you do a good job, just go back. ”

"Yes."

When Qing Song heard this, he hurriedly went to move the cover.

That night, Mo Chang and Hou Cong lay side by side on the same bed.

"Where's the white coat?" Hou Cong couldn't sleep after all.

Mo Chang was relieved, knowing that he would have to ask sooner or later.

"If she wants to see you, she'll see you. If I betrayed her, she wouldn't even pay attention to me. ”

This is the truth, Hou Cong has no choice but to "hum".

He didn't know that this night, Bai Yi first went to Murong Xing's place from the place where Mo Chang was assassinated, and after finding Cuizhu obediently staying, he was relieved and went to the palace through the tunnel.

She was not in a hurry to see Mo Hui, but in a hurry to see the Queen Mother.
