Chapter 27: The Assassins

"Nan Ruochen, did you hear the sound of horses' hooves?" She asked, tilting her head and worried.

Nan Ruochen was stunned for a moment, perhaps because he was too intoxicated with the memories he didn't want to remember, he had already relaxed his vigilance, and when he heard her ask like this, he listened attentively, and he really heard the sound of horses' hooves, and there was more than one horse, and the distance was not far away.

Nan Ruochen couldn't help but pull her up and said, "This place is estimated to have been exposed, get in the carriage!" Come with me! ”

The speed of the carriage was very fast, she could only hold on to the crossbar in the carriage tightly to stabilize her body, but she was very worried in her heart, it stands to reason that this place is very hidden, not to mention that they have already left the capital, and it is not easy for the people in the palace to find her.

That Princess Zhou and the Yuan family were really ruthless, she was going to leave, and they were so desperate to kill her.

Thinking of this, her heart was filled with anger. But the current form did not allow her to think about anything else, she could only find a way to escape this fate.

"Lu Nuoxin, there is a dense forest in front of you, if there is danger for a while, you should hide in the bushes, and do not come out. Remember to bring a bow and arrows for self-defense. Nan Ruochen, who was driving in front, urged urgently.

"And what do you do?"

"Their target is you, naturally they won't do anything to me, besides, I am a person who practices martial arts, so I can naturally avoid it, but there are many of them, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of you at that time, you have to pay attention to concealment and protect yourself!"

She nodded, and turned her head to see the bow and arrow next to her, which Nan Ruochen had prepared and put here early in the morning, and at that time she also said that he was too worried about the sky, and she couldn't imagine that he could really use it now.

The carriage was about to rush into the woods, but she had already seen a dozen horses getting closer and closer, and she was about to catch up with them, and in the confusion, she had already seen that it was the same few masked men from the last time, but this time there were a few more people.

The masked man at the head looked at their carriage and sneered, in such a barren mountain and wild place, no one would know if they killed them, and they would finally seize a good opportunity. After dealing with them, he can go back to restore the princess's life, and when he gets the reward, he can wash his hands in a golden basin, and then take his family away and fly away.

He remembered the princess's words: "If that cheap woman doesn't die, don't give me back alive!" If you show your feet, you know what will happen to your family! His hand holding the whip couldn't help but increase its strength.

Nan Ruochen's face was solemn, but he still didn't slow down, who knew that the cold light suddenly shone out, and the masked man who was originally the leader had already jumped up and attacked Nan Ruochen's faΓ§ade. Where can Nan Ruochen still care about driving, he pulled out the sword he carried with him from the shadows, and entangled with the masked man.

"Brothers, leave that man alone, we must not let that woman escape!" The masked man at the head shouted.

Nan Ruochen saw that the battle was getting more and more intense, and more than a dozen masked people were chasing after her, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get out, and only she could block all the masked people by herself, so that she had time to escape.

Nan Ruochen threw the reins at her and shouted, "Lu Nuoxin! Hold! ”

She didn't dare to slack off, Nan Ruochen had already jumped out of the carriage and blocked the way of more than a dozen people with the modest strength of one person. But Nan Ruochen alone could withstand the attacks of more than a dozen people.

She screamed in her heart, she looked ahead, and was almost out of the woods, she gritted her teeth, and pulled the reins with all her might, and the horse neighed, and its front feet were raised, and it stopped in place. She couldn't leave Nan Ruochen behind, and ran away by herself.

She picked up the bow and arrows in the carriage and, in the faint light of the moon, aimed at the masked man. However, she didn't dare to let go of the hand holding the bow and arrow, she had never killed anyone, so how could she do it!

At this time, Nan Ruochen was already physically exhausted and couldn't support it, and suddenly a masked man waved a big knife and was about to slash at him.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes tightly, and as soon as she let go, the arrow in her hand shot out, and the arrow was shot right on the masked man's chest! The man looked down at the arrow in his chest and turned his head to look at her in disbelief.

Under the moonlight, she looked frightened and sad: Why do everyone want to force me so much? Do you have to force me to have no way out before I am willing?

At this time, Nan Ruochen was already physically exhausted, and he was kneeling on the ground with his sword, thinking that this time he might not be able to escape death.

So he closed his eyes tightly and prepared to bear the knife, but the masked man in front of him fell to the ground in response, and he raised his tired eyes to see that it was actually Lu Nuoxin's arrow!

He turned his head and saw the tears of fear in her eyes, and his heart was full of unbearable, and he stiffened himself and continued to entangle with the other masked people.

"Ying'er, pay attention to your back!" A familiar voice came into her ears, still as clear and clean.

Ying'er ...... It is not King Xin who can call her like this, who else can it be.

She couldn't care about anything else, and looked at the voice, King Xin's white clothes were shining faintly in the moonlight, but his heroic face was full of worry and fear, and his outstretched hands instantly stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, she lowered her head in disbelief, and a masked man took advantage of Nan Ruochen's inattention, and secretly rushed towards her, the big knife in his hand had already pierced deeply into her lower abdomen, and the red blood was gushing out, instantly penetrating her turquoise clothes, just like a big bloody cuckoo was blooming wantonly!

She suddenly lost her strength, and the support was instantly withdrawn, and she leaned down and fell straight down from the carriage. In a trance, she seemed to see Nan Ruochen's stunned face and an expression of disbelief.

King Xin suddenly jumped up from the horse, flew in front of her with a "swish", and immediately hugged her with a pale face.

She covered her lower abdomen with both hands, trembling and shouting: "Lord Wang......" At this time, she seemed to notice that there was also a viscous liquid flowing out of her lower body, but she couldn't think about it much, she couldn't support it anymore, and fainted groggyly.

"Ying'er, Ying'er......" King Xin hugged her hands and touched a large area of blood flowing from her, he shouted loudly to her who had passed out in his arms, this sleepless pursuit for days, I couldn't imagine that the moment I saw her again, she actually became like this.

At this moment, all the thoughts and pains turned into full anger, and it seemed that he was about to burn him.

There was a thick murderous aura rising in his eyes, the cold light at the tip of the sword tore through his deep eyes, he waved the green sword in his hand, the sword was like a white snake spitting letters, hissing through the wind, and like a swimming dragon shuttling, walking in all directions, sometimes light as a swallow, pointing the sword up, sometimes suddenly like lightning, and the fallen leaves collapsed.

In an instant, more than a dozen masked people fell one after another, and only the masked man led by him was still lingering.

At this time, he had completely lost his mind, and when he angrily pressed his sword against the throat of the masked man at the head, Siming rushed up and stopped him with an arrow: "Lord Wang, stay alive!" ”

His grim face was intimidating at this moment: "Say, who sent you!" ”

The masked man had already been shocked by King Xin, but he suddenly recalled Princess Zhou's words in his mind: "If you leak out, you know what will happen to your family!" ”

He gritted his teeth and slammed into his sword! Gurgling blood gushed out of his throat, and in the gloomy night, it was poignant and terrifying!

King Xin never thought that this masked man would commit suicide, but he remembered that she was still bleeding, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately knelt down and picked her up in a pool of blood......

At this moment, Siming was looking through the body of the masked man, and suddenly found a silver ingot and a token from the masked man who was the leader, and the word "letter" on the back of the silver ingot and token was particularly dazzling in the white moonlight.

Si Ming looked at her in King Xin's arms, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: from the day King Xin and the Yuan family were in the study, to the side princess witnessing this scene, to the side princess leaving the house, until the assassination at this moment, there seems to be an inexplicable connection, maybe this is a well-planned conspiracy! It's just that just relying on the official silver and tokens of the palace of the letter will definitely not be able to repay the princess justice.

Then, Siming hid the silver ingot and token in his arms.
