Chapter 41 The forest is deep and the lake is secluded, but it is a murder place

King Rui and Yan Chen were rowing in Yandang Lake.

Since last night, Yan Chen's surroundings have been calm, and it seems that everyone has withdrawn.

The two of them only brought Heng Niang and Qi Zhengtian, Brother Ji pouted and wanted to come together, King Rui saw that this little kid was twisting Yan Chen again, his face sank, Brother Ji was so frightened that he hid behind Lin Yuan, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

At this moment, Yandang Lake is sparkling and breezy. The boatman rowed the boat to the middle of the lake, and King Rui let the boatman let the boat float in the middle of the water, Heng Niang and Qi Zhengtian one in the stern and one in the bow.

Yan Chen and Rui Wang stayed in the cabin, the bamboo curtains around them were rolled up high, Rui Wang held Yan Chen, leaned against the window, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery by Yandang Lake.

On the left of Yandang Lake is a pine forest, and on the right is a maple forest. In autumn, there is a fiery red maple forest on one side, a dark green pine tree on the other, and the Yandang Lake in the middle is dyed half red and half green, a strange harmony.

At that time, Yan Chen and Rui Wang's favorite thing was to jump into the water, catch a few fish, light a fire with pine branches, skewer the fish and cook them, and the two of them ate with their mouths full of oil.

The water of Yandang Lake is very deep, and the fish in it are delicate and delicious. Yan Chen's childlike heart suddenly rose and he wanted to catch a fish again.

Mama Sun followed behind the crown princess and always felt uneasy. It seemed that some breath that did not belong to the pine forest drilled into her nose.

Mama Sun is a kung fu person, ten years ago, the scout sent by Qi Zihao to report to Qi Zirui at that time was the one she knocked unconscious. Although he has rarely made a move over the years, the intuition of the martial artist has not regressed much.

Now following the crown princess, in addition to her, there are also Mama Feng and several palace maids, and the guards are on guard because they are scattered, but only one or two follow closely.

Suddenly, a smell of burning came from her, and Grandma Sun looked in the direction of the smell in surprise.

That's the direction of Yongning Temple. The pines and cypresses have not completely blocked the view, and the flames are faintly visible.

Li Xu also found that something was wrong, and said in his heart: "It's here!" ”

After a while, a guard rushed to him and said: "Niangniang, there is a fire in Yongning Temple, and there are assassins fighting with the guards left behind. ”

Li Xu stretched out his hand to hold his chest, helped Mama Feng, and asked urgently, "How many?" ”

The guard replied, "I don't know! ”

Li Xu was hesitating, and another guard covered his left arm, staggered over, and shouted urgently: "Quick, protect Niangniang forward, the assassin is catching up, it seems that he is coming for Niangniang!" ”

The guards beside Li Xu "choked" and pulled out their swords and protected Li Xu in the middle.

Mama Sun and Mama Feng's faces changed. glanced at each other, and hurriedly helped the princess to run forward.

At this moment, several arrows were thrown from the pine forest, and several palace people were hit by arrows. One of them was in the middle of Mama Feng's vest. She screamed and fell to the ground.

Grandma Sun looked back, and her eyebrows jumped a few times. At this time, a few people jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the crown princess.

shouted in his mouth: "Give back your mother's life!" ”

The guards stepped forward to stop it, and for a moment a ping-pong fight broke out.

Mama Sun couldn't care about Mama Feng anymore, so she only helped the princess to stumble forward.

There were sounds of fighting in all directions, and it seemed that the guards of the assassin and the crown princess were still on guard.

Mama Sun and several palace people were guarding behind, the crown princess was in front, and everyone ran forward with their skirts and lifeless.

From time to time, cold arrows came over, and several palace people were all shot and fell to the ground. Seeing that it was about to pass through the pine forest, the water of Yandang Lake was already close at hand, and Mama Feng was also hit by an arrow in her right arm.

The crown princess looked back and hurriedly turned around to help her.

Mama Sun said hurriedly: "Niangniang, run, don't worry about the old slave." ”

saw the crown princess gritting her teeth and suddenly pulled the arrow out of Grandma Sun's right arm, and blood spurted out, splashing the princess's face.

Mama Feng was in pain and looked at the crown princess in surprise, Li Xu stood behind Mama Sun, looked left and right, suddenly pointed ahead, and shouted, "What is that?" ”

Grandma Sun was startled, and she looked at it, but felt a sharp pain in her back.

She turned around, but saw that the crown princess had a hideous face and blood-red eyes, and said, "Don't blame this palace for being ruthless, you know too much." ”

With both hands, the arrow stabbed deeper into Grandma Sun's back.

It should have been thought of a long time ago. From the day Li Xu asked her to find an opportunity to get rid of Mama Feng, she was also on Li Xu's list of exterminations.

At this moment, an assassin rushed up to the crown princess and kicked Grandma Sun, who was panting on the ground, and she rolled down the slope into Yandang Lake.

He whispered urgently: "Lord Li instructed that Niangniang should see some blood." Run forward, don't look back. ”

Li Xu gritted his teeth, picked up his skirt and ran forward.

At this time, several assassins had already rushed over, and the assassin threw out a flying knife with his backhand, and the knife grazed Li Xu's left shoulder, taking away a piece of flesh and skin. Li Xu had just killed Mama Sun, and he ran in a hurry, the flying knife cut off a layer of skin and flesh, and he just ran a few steps forward under severe pain, and then fainted.

The assassin let out a shriek, and several heavings, jumped up the branches to run, but the guards followed closely behind, and after a while he ran away again.

Yan Chen and Rui Wang were diving into the water to catch fish, when suddenly a heavy object fell into the water, and the blood poured red in the water.

King Rui hurriedly swam to Yan Chen's side, anxiously swimming near her. Yan Chen shook his head, pointing to the person who fell into the water, King Rui understood, swam over and lifted the person up, and the two worked together to lift the person out of the water.

Heng Niang and Qi Zhengtian stretched their necks and looked at the water, waiting for King Rui and Yan Chen to catch fish. There was a "bang" on the water, Rui Wang and Yan Chen surfaced with one person, Heng Niang was shocked, and hurriedly asked the boatman to row the boat over.

Everyone pulled people onto the boat, and King Rui and Yan Chen also flew up. King Rui wiped the water on his face and asked Yan Chen if there was anything wrong.

Yan Chen shook the water on the clothes on his head and said, "I'm fine." Carry this man into the cabin and see if you can wake him up. ”

Qi Zhengtian and Heng Niang were busy carrying people into the cabin, Yan Chen didn't care about changing clothes, followed up, touched Grandma Sun's neck, asked Hengniang to take the needle, and quickly inserted silver needles on Grandma Sun's head, chest, and calves, and quickly clicked on the acupuncture points on her chest, and then asked people to help Grandma Sun up, she luckily held the tail of the arrow, and with a force, the arrow was pulled out from the back.

Maybe it was the severe pain that stimulated Grandma Sun, and she actually woke up.

Weakly said, "Help, save me." The crown princess, the crown princess wants to kill...... I. He tilted his head and fainted again.

Yan Chen lowered his head and carefully examined Mama Sun's wound, tore off the middle coat he wanted to change on, and tightly wrapped the wound.

She straightened up, sighed, and said, "This person's heart actually grows on the right side!" There is also salvation. ”

King Rui frowned and asked, "What did she say just now?" ”

Qi Zhengtian said: "It seems to say, say,"

"Said the crown princess was going to kill her!" Heng Niang glared at Qi Zhengtian and said simply.

Yan Chen and Rui Wang looked at each other, and Yan Chen said, "Don't care so much for now, it's important to save people!" ”

Qi Zhengtian snorted, wanting to speak and stopped.

King Rui said: "Okay! You change your clothes first. ”

led Qi Zhengtian out of the cabin.

Heng Niang put down the bamboo curtains around her and said, "If this person was really killed by the crown princess, there must be a shocking secret." The crown princess will not give up. ”

Yan Chen said while changing his clothes: "Even if I meet it, there is no reason to see death and not be saved." It's okay for me to wait, but I'm afraid I'll get the shippers in trouble. ”

After thinking about it, she asked Heng Niang to call the boat family in.

Heng Niang went out for a turn, came in and said, "The boat family and Qi Zhengtian are gone, only King Rui is outside." ”

Yan Chen was stunned, and hurriedly went out of the cabin to find King Rui.

King Rui also changed his clothes, and when he saw Yan Chen coming out, he came up to meet him.

Yan Chen stared at him silently.

King Rui said helplessly: "Don't worry, I didn't take the boat home." Only Qi Zhengtian transferred the boat family. ”

Yan Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it is not my woman's kindness, it can't hurt people's lives for no reason." ”

King Rui said: "I know, you have always been very soft-hearted. ”

Yan Chen sat on the bow of the boat and said, "Mingyuan, when I started with my father-in-law, I couldn't bear to see the people of the world displaced. If we also regard human life as a mustard, how is it different from the emperor? ”

Heng Niang came up, and stopped talking.

Yan Chen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Heng Niang pointed in the direction of Yongning Temple and said, "When you go down to catch fish, Yongning Temple seems to be on fire." It seems to have something to do with the wounded servant. We'd better get her away as soon as possible. ”

Yan Chen lowered his head and thought about it, stood up and stared at King Rui, and asked him, "Mingyuan, can I trust you?" ”

King Rui didn't know what he meant, but his answer was categorical: "Yes!" ”

Yan Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were resolute, and there was no hesitation.

She asked Heng Niang to go to the rocking and dock as soon as possible. Rui Wang didn't say a word, just stood behind her, holding her wet hair in his hand, his palm was hot, and in a moment, Yan Chen's hair rose white mist and gradually dried.

Yan Chen turned his head and smiled at him, the pear nest at the corner of his mouth was full of sweetness. King Rui's heart skipped a beat.

After going ashore, Yan Chen ordered Hengniang to carry Grandma Sun on her back, she went back to wash the blood stains on the boat with water, led the horses tied to the trees, and the three of them galloped towards the depths of Fengming Mountain.

Li Xu's guards chased the assassin for a long time, but to no avail. turned back to look for the crown princess, but saw Li Xu fainting by the tree.

The frightened guards hurriedly helped Li Xu stop the bleeding, and hurried out of the forest to find the boat.

Yongning Temple caught fire for no reason, and it will never be as simple as walking through the water. Therefore, the guards did not dare to let the princess return to the temple, so they had to go back to Yandang Lake.

The guards searched for a long time before they found an unmanned boat rowing over on the side of the maple forest, and everyone put Li Xu on the boat with seven hands.
