Chapter Seventy-Nine: Danger Again
Ignoring the pain of the wound, Xie Lingxu rushed to the camp in front of him-
Things are really not that simple, what reinforcements, what escort the emperor back to the palace, it's really just another trap......
Prime Minister Yuan ...... Prime Minister Yuan Cheng, who was once like a relative to the emperor in other people's mouths, really still coveted the throne, and wanted to put the emperor to death at such a critical juncture......
tried his best to protect the emperor, but after all, it was still - did it fall short......?
Breaking into the emperor's tent, Xie Lingxu's head swelled for a while, holding the reckless sword, panting for breath-
When he raised his eyes, he saw that the eunuch who had just passed by him was raising his sword and slashing at the unsuspecting emperor on the bed, but fortunately, Shen Su on one side picked up the porcelain bottle next to him and blocked the sharp blade......
Xie Lingxu strode forward, raised his hand and slashed his sword across the assassin's back, the former spilling blood and falling on his back.
I saw the emperor's face discolored, and said in a panic:
"This ...... What's going on? Why are you still here...... Will someone assassinate me? ”
Xie Lingxu turned around, his eyebrows furrowed:
"Your Majesty, I think Yuan Cheng is prime minister and he has rebelled......"
I saw that the emperor's expression froze in an instant, and thousands of emotions seemed to come to his heart, and Xie Lingxu felt the former's unspeakable sadness......
Xie Lingxu: "Since one assassination has been planned, there must be a second one." I believe that Prime Minister Yuan will not let us go, if we sit still, we may not survive tomorrow. ”
Emperor: "That ......"
Xie Lingxu's expression was solemn: "Run!" ”
Xie Lingxu felt like he was telling jokes, and now he was surrounded by Yuan Chengxiang's men and horses, and he didn't even have a clue where he was, and he escaped - it was a fantasy at all.
Shen Su pulled out a long knife out of nowhere, rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Your Majesty, the slave maid and Miss Xie are desperately resisting, and they will definitely escort the emperor to escape from here."
Groove ...... Who the said they were going to resist to the death!
Shen Su's face was pale, and he looked at Xie Lingxu coldly:
"Desperately escort the emperor to leave safely, do you know!"
Xie Lingxu rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that he had to throw out the half of his life that he had just picked up, and moved his neck helplessly:
"Yes."
Although the guards accompanying the emperor are all selected from thousands of elite people, there are only a dozen people in total, and they can protect the emperor at a critical moment, but in the current situation, it is delusional for more than a dozen people to break through from the entire army.
Xie Lingxu gritted his teeth, and now the only hope is King You, unless King You comes to the rescue, the few people who are besieged in the enemy camp will not be able to escape at all.
But...... Since Prime Minister Yuan Cheng didn't come to reinforce him, the battle situation in King You's place is probably also very severe, how could he come to rescue the emperor?
If there is no hope, then there is only one game to die......
The despair at this moment is simply beyond measure, her mother suffers mental and physical torture all day long, it is better to be shot to death by random arrows!
Looking at the door curtain that was gradually lifted by Shen Su, Xie Lingxu looked straight ahead with an expressionless face-
God forced himself to be a warrior like steel, and broken copper and iron are also iron, so let's see how much power I can be forced out of this scrap material......
The situation outside the door tent came into view in an instant, and the people inside were tightly surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers, Xie Lingxu clenched the sword in his hand, and saw Yuan Cheng, who had a solemn expression, standing less than five meters away from him with his hands, looking at the person in front of him coldly, but said in his mouth:
"Your Majesty, what is this going to do?"
Xie Lingxu's eyebrows twitched:
"Prime Minister Yuan, what do you want to do? Didn't you send someone to assassinate the emperor? Now that they have sent heavy troops to surround us, such a great rebellion, are you not afraid of being ruined after death! ”
The former looked indifferent:
"When the minister heard the news of the emperor's assassination, he led the elite soldiers to come to the rescue, and asked the emperor to be calm and go to a safe place with the ministers."
Xie Lingxu's heart moved slightly, and he immediately became vigilant again. - The former's words are all fucking fart, and they can't stand scrutiny at all, looking at the posture in front of them, it looks like they want to protect the emperor, but they are too lazy to do it, and they plan to find a neat way to secretly kill the emperor......
Prime Minister Yuan:
"Please, Your Majesty."
"I-" The emperor looked at a loss, turned his head and glanced at Xie Lingxu......
Xie Lingxu frowned:
Prime Minister Yuan ...... The Emperor is in danger in your barracks, and now how are you going to trust you? ”
Xie Lingxu thought about how to deal with his predecessors, but the former sneered:
"Then don't believe it!"
As he spoke, he drew the long sword in his sheath, and the soldiers behind him also drew their swords together and took an attacking posture when they saw this......
Groove ...... Tearing your face......
As soon as the war was about to break out, his tightened heart was immediately raised, and Xie Lingxu waited for the person in front of him to give an order, and touched the cordon that touched all his nerves-
"Capture the emperor alive, the others ...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”
The short command echoed in the open space surrounded by hills and ravines, and every word pierced deep into Xie Lingxu's ears—
Kill...... Don't talk about ......
"Kill ......"
"Kill ......"
In a trance, he indirectly lowered the horizontal sword that was all over the place, and Xie Lingxu only felt that he was unconscious at this moment, and almost subconsciously attacked and dodged in the chaotic battle situation-
The splashing blood foam vaguely understood Lingxu's consciousness, and he felt as if he was a sword at the moment, completely fulfilling the mission imposed on his body, with no choice, no pain......
I don't know how many wounds were cut by the four flying swords around him, Xie Lingxu gradually lost his pain in the cold wind, the blood veins all over his body filled his brain, his eyes were cold, and he was almost crazy at this moment struggling to kill the enemy......
In the chaos, a soldier's sharp blade almost injured the emperor who was shrunk on one side and was protected by everyone, Xie Lingxu pulled the former and protected him in front of him, and his back was immediately deeply stabbed by the blade......
"Shhh
I don't know how long the battle lasted, Xie Lingxu lost too much blood, and his body was in a state of prostration, but he faintly felt that there seemed to be something supporting his ......, and there was a force that made his weak body reborn again......
Xie Lingxu wiped away the blood foam splashing on his lips, and turned his eyes to see that only half of the guards protecting the emperor were left, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. If you continue to consume like this, I'm afraid that a few people alone won't last long-
"Surrender, just a few of you, do you still want to protect the emperor and escape? It's a dream! Prime Minister Yuan said with a disdainful expression.
Xie Lingxu clenched his fists, and saw a soldier riding a war horse in front of him heading straight towards the emperor, as if he wanted to capture the emperor back. The current situation is not good...... Xie Lingxu pondered for a second—but now it was an opportunity......
Xie Lingxu quickly stepped onto the horse of the person in front of him, and the latter's flying sword narrowly grazed the side of his face...... Xie Lingxu compared the sword to the neck of the person in front of him and slammed it fiercely, and the person in front of him instantly lost his breath and fell sideways from the horse-
Taking a deep breath, Xie Lingxu drove towards the emperor on horseback. grabbed the emperor's arm and pulled him behind him violently, and the emperor threw himself on Xie Lingxu's shoulder in embarrassment, as if he didn't react at all.
"Hold on!"
"Uh...... Yes? ”
Xie Lingxu turned his horse's head and rode towards the enemy's weak place—
Fortunately, Shen Su had a lot of eyesight, and in an instant, he took the few remaining guards to deeply open a way for Xie Lingxu.
At this time, whether the golden cicada can come out of its shell depends on opportunity and providence. Now...... Every second counts——
Xie Lingxu cut the horse's back with a sword, only to hear the war horse neighing violently, and then galloped desperately forward......
Fast...... As long as you are fast enough, you are 40% sure that you will be able to escape from the encirclement.
The emperor hugged Xie Lingxu's waist, and he didn't care about pulling the person behind him off his body, only to feel that the latter's chin seemed to be against his shoulder......
Emperor: "Slow ...... Slow down......"
Xie Lingxu was irritable for a while:
"Damn, if you slow down, there won't be anyone to collect the body for us!"
The Emperor: "But I, I can't hold it back." ”
Xie Lingxu: "You...... , your majesty, hurry up! ”
Xie Lingxu shook off the cavalry who came after him, and cut off the head of another person on his side with a backhand.
The pursuers followed one after another like leeches that could not be shaken off, followed by the two thin figures on horseback.
"Driving...... ...... driving"
Xie Lingxu waved the reins, and his cold eyes looked at the dense forest with staggered terrain in the distance.
Fast...... Hurry up!
The cavalry who caught up with Xie Lingxu drove side by side, only to see a knife flying in front of him, Xie Lingxu pulled the reins on his side, and leaned over to dodge the unkind sword. Seeing that the former turned the spearhead, and the next sword was almost aimed at the emperor, Xie Lingxu's heart tightened, and he blocked the blade back with his backhand......
Pulling out the short sword he was carrying, Xie Lingxu threw it to the emperor-
"Do you know how to use a sword?"
Seeing that the emperor was holding the short sword and almost didn't catch it, Xie Lingxu had an answer as soon as the corners of his mouth twitched.
The Emperor: "I ...... I won't! ”
"When you see someone trying to kill you, you can block it with your sword, it's as simple as that!"
The Emperor: "Yes, but it's ......"
Xie Lingxu turned his head:
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm so capable, I can't protect you!"
didn't hear the emperor say more, Xie Lingxu drove his horse and drove towards the road in front of him, hoping that this time, he could get out of danger smoothly......
There may really be a so-called miracle, the horses under the seat actually rode in the dust, and when they approached the deep forest, they left the cavalry behind them......
The dawn of victory seems to be close at hand-
The noisy pursuers watched the people in front of them gradually disappear from sight but were powerless to return to the sky, Yuan Cheng picked up an armor-piercing arrow and put it on his shoulder, since there was no way to capture the emperor alive as a bargaining chip...... Then don't leave a single mouth alive!
The whirling armor-piercing arrow shot straight at the person on the horse, and the corner of Prime Minister Yuan's mouth sneered, waiting for the fallen back of the person in front of him-
However, what was expected did not happen after all, and the people in the distance seemed to have dodged the sharp arrows, and after a while, they disappeared into the deep forest......
Damn-Prime Minister Yuan threw down the bow and arrow in his hand fiercely, and shouted angrily:
"Give me chase!"
