Chapter 213: Encounter with an Assassin
There are not as many people around Yu Liyuan as there are on the side of the carriage, but he is not afraid at all.
Yuan Qingping, who hadn't been able to run far, was also pulled back into Yu Liyuan's protective circle because of this change.
When those assassins came, without waiting for Yuan Qingping to rush over to protect Yu Liyuan, he saw Yu Liyuan pull out the long sword on the guard next to him and meet him directly.
His heart was immediately raised, what if His Majesty was injured? What if something goes wrong?
Yuan Qingping watched from afar, and he was also anxious, eager to rush over and fight side by side with Yu Liyuan.
Just when Yuan Qingping couldn't hold it back, a huge force came from behind him and pressed him down.
Yuan Qingping watched as the trunk in front of him was pierced by a long arrow, and if he was still standing just now, the arrow would have pierced his stomach.
Thinking of that scene, Yuan Qingping also shuddered.
"You honestly lie on your stomach and don't move, I'll go find the person who is hiding." Dong Yu patted Yuan Qingping, and after telling him, he sneaked into the woods behind him.
After experiencing this incident, Yuan Qingping was also frightened and didn't dare to move, and he didn't even dare to see how the battle situation was on Yu Liyuan's side.
The most annoying thing on the battlefield is not the frontal enemy, but the archers who hide in the distance and release cold arrows, you have no idea when they will give you an arrow, and you don't even have a chance to react.
Knowing the threat of archers, Dong Yu and Su Feng's first reaction was to find someone.
But one is looking ahead, and the other is looking backwards.
No matter how clever the archer was, he couldn't avoid the encirclement and suppression of the two masters, and after hiding for a while, before the third arrow could be issued, he was killed by the two of them.
Su Feng glanced at Dong Yu and rushed back again, wanting to help Yu Liyuan kill the enemy.
And Dong Yu returned to the place where Yuan Qingping was lying on his stomach and lay down with Yuan Qingping.
"Your martial arts are so good, why don't you go outside to fight?" Yuan Qingping listened to the sound of killing outside, and he was very unaccustomed to Dong Yu's behavior.
Dong Yu raised his eyebrows: "I just killed the archer." ”
"And what about you now?" Yuan Qingping looked at Dong Yu, shouldn't he continue to kill the enemy? How can you hide here with yourself?
Dong Yu replied seriously: "Now I am protecting the prime minister with the brightest future in the Great Southern Dynasty." ”
"I thank you." Yuan Qingping knew that Dong Yu just wanted to be lazy, but when he thought that he had pressed himself down just now, thus avoiding the act of the arrow, he didn't have a good temperament.
As if he couldn't hear the yin and yang weirdness in his words, Dong Yu replied with a smile: "It's easy to say, this is what you should do as a citizen of the Great Southern Dynasty." ”
As he spoke, the voice outside gradually became quieter, Dong Yu took the lead in standing up and looking outside, and Yuan Qingping also stood up.
Most of those assassins were killed, and the rest saw that they couldn't die, so they directly swallowed poison and committed suicide, in short, just like the last time, there was no life left.
Including the body of the archer, he was also pulled over, but this time it was still nothing.
Yu Liyuan's expression turned cold, just now he was the first to rush over, killing a lot of assassins, and there were a lot of blood stains on his body, which made him have an extra killing aura.
"Dispose of the bodies of these people." He instructed the men below, and then made his way to the carriage.
He knocked on the door of the carriage and whispered, "I'm coming." ”
Hearing his voice, Shen Xingyue opened the door, saw the blood stains on Yu Liyuan's body, and said nervously: "Are you okay?" Where did it hurt? Does it hurt? What about the Imperial Doctor? ”
She didn't even bother to ask if there were any assassins outside at this time, and jumped out of the carriage.
But at the same time, she forgot that she had learned to ride a horse in the morning, and as soon as she jumped down, she felt that her legs were sore, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Are you alright? I was negligent and forgot to think about your body. Yu Liyuan quickly caught her and said apologetically.
Shen Xingyue shook her head, and after getting used to it a little, she broke free from Yu Liyuan's embrace and lowered her head to check on Yu Liyuan.
"I'm not hurt, it's someone else's." Seeing her so nervous, Yu Liyuan's mood was inexplicably better.
Hearing him say this, Shen Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief, she hugged Yu Liyuan tightly, and her voice also had some crying: "Don't get hurt, I'm so scared......"
"I'm not going to get hurt, don't be afraid." Yu Liyuan patted Shen Xingyue's back and coaxed her in a low voice.
Now after all, it is outside, many people are paying attention to this side, and Shen Xingyue only stayed in Yu Liyuan's arms for a while before letting go of her.
Shen Xingyue's face was flushed: "You go and change your clothes, I'll wait for you." ”
"Okay." Yu Liyuan nodded, and went to the tent with Xiao Dezi.
In this battle, many Assassins died, but the guards were also damaged, although the number was not much, but it was enough to make people feel desolate.
After Yu Liyuan asked his subordinates to deal with the traces of the fight at the scene, he rested on the spot.
They had been on the road all morning, had just experienced another fierce battle, and now most of them were exhausted, and needed a good rest to replenish their strength.
Moreover, those assassins are all of a mid-stream level, which is still a lot worse than the Royal Forest Army, and Yu Liyuan doesn't think they will come back.
They were not disturbed until they set off again, but the pace of the procession slowed down considerably because some of the guards were wounded and sent to rest in the carriage.
Even so, Yu Liyuan didn't mention the matter of letting Shen Xingyue learn to ride a horse anymore, guilt was one thing, and he didn't want Shen Xingyue to suffer.
When it was time to camp at night, because they had not passed through the town, they had to be in the field, and the Imperial Guards were divided into three teams, one patrolling, one guarding the main tent, and one resting and waiting for the night shift.
Because it was the first night, and their itinerary couldn't be covered up at all, the chances of those Assassins making a comeback were also very high, and everyone was waiting for them.
Shen Xingyue was also even more worried: "What is the origin of those assassins?" Assassinated me and Rong Rong before, and this time I will assassinate you again. ”
She thought about it and sighed: "They don't want to target the royal family and make the world chaotic, right?" ”
Shen Xingyue inadvertently complained, but Yu Liyuan's eyes lit up.
He only thought that some people in the martial arts were dissatisfied with them before, but now Shen Xingyue's words also brought him new ideas.
The war in the south has just subsided, and the enemies in the north are also preparing to move these days, is it possible that some of them want to disrupt the internal affairs of the Great Southern Dynasty, so that the Great Southern Dynasty will be divided and unable to compete with them?
