Chapter 161: The Struggle for Imperial Power
Xiao Junyi's martial arts are strong, Ning Yao has a bow and gun with hundreds of shots, the two cooperate to kill the enemy, and finally, they gradually gain the upper hand.
Qingfeng and the others spent a lot of effort to get rid of the killers besieging them, and the soldiers stationed at the border of Xijing also rushed to hear the news and followed them along the direction that Xiao Junyi left.
After chasing a stick of incense, he found that there were constantly injured horses and killer corpses on the side of the road, Chu Feng stopped to check, and saw that the fatal wounds on the corpse were all in the position of the head and chest, and the arrow was very accurate.
Qingfeng asked next to him, "This?" Is that what we went to the iron shop with Miss Ning Yao in the morning? ”
Chu Feng nodded: "That's right, chase!" ”
The group turned over and continued to chase until they met obsidian who was grazing alone on the side of the road.
"It's Childe's horse! What about Childe and Ning Yao girl? Jin Feng asked anxiously.
Chu Feng looked around: "Get off the horse and enter the forest!" ”
Then he said to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Leave a few people behind, help us take care of the horses, and if we don't come out, we will take them back to the barracks and send them back to the Xijing Town General's Mansion." ”
After entering the forest, everyone divided up to search, and sure enough, they found traces of a fight, and then, there were killer corpses all the way until they entered the mountains.
Four Winds led a team of soldiers to trace the traces, but it was already dark, and it was really difficult to find someone in this big mountain where he couldn't see his fingers.
Ze Feng was puzzled: "Why did Miss Ning Yao take her son to run upstream, if she had taken the road back to Beijing, she would not have been so troublesome." ”
Chu Feng said: "These black-clothed killers are coming for Gongzi, and on the way back to Beijing, they must be full of ambushes." ”
Qingfeng also agreed: "Yes, the killers who chased Gongzi and them later all came from over there." ”
"This time, I don't know who is against our General's Mansion, sending so many killers, and they are skilled, let's go quickly and catch up with Childe." Strong wind duct.
Ning Yao has a lot of experience in surviving in the mountains, and took Xiao Junyi to climb the slope and turn left and right, and finally, temporarily threw off the pursuers behind her.
Finding a safe and hidden place, Ning Yao was so tired that she leaned against the rock wall and didn't want to move.
After taking a few deep breaths, his anger finally eased: "Xiao Junyi, what kind of enemies are you provoking, you have come so much, and you have all made ruthless moves, and you have made it clear that you want your life!" ”
This kind of life-and-death duel is not the first time Xiao Junyi has experienced it, but it was all when he was facing against enemy troops from other countries at the border.
Now that he is about to arrive in Xijing, encountering such an assassination, Xiao Junyi moved his mind a little, and thought of two possibilities!
Seeing him frowning and deep in thought, Ning Yao asked, "Did you probably guess who wanted to hinder you from returning to Beijing?" ”
"It may be whose interests are touched when dealing with Zongshanmen, or it may be ......" he paused.
Ning Yao asked, "What is it?" ”
"The battle for imperial power!"
"The struggle for imperial power? You are just a son of the world, a general, even if you are a prince in the future, you have to fight with them for the throne, how tiring is it to be an emperor? ”
Xiao Junyi also leaned on the rock: "The status of the Xiao family is very important in Nanjing, and with the support of the Xiao family, the odds of winning are much greater." ”
"And then? So, someone wants you to take sides, or who are you blocking the way to the top? "This person didn't say anything for half of what he said, Ning Yao had to use her imagination and speculate on the direction of the plot based on the palace fighting dramas she watched in her previous life!
