Chapter 36: Pie in the Sky

He had no retinue with him, let alone an escort.

A man and a horse, walking out of the bleak and lonely cemetery, the nobility on his body dissipated, like a lonely soul roaming the world.

He walked slowly, with an elegant temperament at every step. Su Qiang looked at him in a daze, and it wasn't until everyone around her asked for An Bi that she remembered that she should say hello.

Bending his knees slightly, his gaze met his inquiring calm and deep eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

Zhang Yinbao, who was happy beside him, looked slightly stunned, raised his hand to cover the corners of his grinning mouth and stepped back.

It wasn't an appointment.

That is, their own masters have a soul.

Li Cong led the horse and stood outside. His complexion was whiter than before, and the narrowness of his eyes had not changed. Hearing Su Qiang ask him, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The crown princess can come, but the palace can't come?" I haven't asked you yet, how did you come to the cemetery on the good day of the Shangsi Festival? ”

She hadn't pointed out that this was the tomb of the Fuguo Mansion, but he mentioned it first.

Su Qiang snorted coldly and said lightly: "For Your Highness, this is a cemetery. But in the eyes of the concubines, this is just a jade mountain. ”

Li Cong smiled and took a few steps forward, but he stumbled slightly when he walked slowly.

The breeze blew through the gaps between the pine branches, and the tip of Su Qiang's nose moved.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the smell of blood grew stronger and stronger as the prince approached.

"How do you ......"

"Don't ask," he said, gesturing behind him, "hold on to the palace and get on the horse." ”

That means there are pursuers behind them, and there are quite a few of them.

Su Qiang felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Through the prince's thin black spring shirt, she guessed in her heart the part of his injury. Behold, the wicked have their own harvest. Before she could do anything, someone assassinated her.

Isn't this pie in the sky?

All she had to do was wait for the Assassins to chase after her, so she could give up the prince and sit aside to collect the body.

Su Qiang stood in place and tilted her head, and said with a provocative expression: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joking, why do you need the concubine to help you get on the horse?" Prince, you are strong, a dragon among men, and a ...... of instruments."

Before Su Qiang could finish speaking, Li Cong suddenly leaned on the horse and slowly bent his knees and slid down. A deep mark of blood, drawing a striking color on the horse's body. And the spirit that he had been struggling to support seemed to have been broken.

"Zhang Yinbao!" Su Qiang subconsciously called: "Quickly help the prince to sit down." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yinbao and Xiaoqing had already leaned in, and the guards they were carrying had already drawn their waist knives and leaned against their masters to be on guard.

There were a few whistles in the air, and the towering pine trees swayed from far to near, and then black figures came up from all around.

Su Qiang listened to the sound and identified the position, there were five of them in total, although the speed was fast, but it was faintly declining, which should be caused by long-distance tracking or already injured.

"Bold! Who are you? Any idea who this is? Don't hurry up and kowtow and confess! Zhang Yinbao helped the prince to sit down with his back against a pine tree, and shouted loudly at the surroundings in a hoarse voice, not only to embolden himself, but also to intimidate the other party.

The figure hiding behind the bushes in front of them said a few words, but it was the Northland language they didn't understand.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are they fans?" Zhang Yinbao saw that the prince was already in a coma, so he pinned his hopes on Su Qiang. He was thinking in his heart how long it would be before he would come back if he went to the regent by the river for help. And his hostess, can she survive until that time.

"It's Jinren," Su Qiang said coldly, "They said that if we hand over the crown prince, they will let us live." ”

Zhang Yinbao trembled and squatted down, protecting Li Cong while trying to pull the horse, trying to let the horse and the big tree surround the prince. Hearing Su Qiang say this, a ray of joy in his eyes said: "Your Highness actually understands the words of the Jin people, Your Highness can tell them that we are protecting Prince Dahong, and they dare to provoke us, not only will they not be able to eat and walk around, but it will not be beneficial to their Jin Country." ”

Su Qiang pursed her lips and sneered, "Don't you understand?" What they said was for us to hand over the crown prince, and they knew the identity of the prince. ”

Zhang Yinbao's eyes were as big as copper bells, his face turned pale and he looked around, speechless for a long time.

Who would have thought that the Kingdom of Jin, which had already been defeated by the regent and surrendered, would dare to send assassins to assassinate the crown prince in the capital of the Dahong Dynasty.

"Miss, what shall we do?" Xiaoqing was quite calm, and gritted his teeth in front of Su Qiang.

What to do, since I heard them speaking Jin Guo dialect and asking to hand over the prince, Su Qiang didn't want to hand it over.

The crown prince could have died at her hands, but even if he committed the most heinous crimes, he should not be lynched by the enemy.

At this moment, she is still a general appointed by the imperial court, and he is the people she wants to protect.

"You and Zhang Yinbao are guarding the crown prince," Su Qiang said, "No matter what happens, don't leave here." ”

She stood up as she spoke, and said a golden word in a loud voice outside.

The Auxiliary Prince's Mansion has fought against foreign enemies for several generations, and it will be more than a golden language. The map that Cui Wange recognized when he was a child was marked in several languages.

The people besieging them outside obviously didn't expect her to be able to speak golden language, and it took a moment for someone to stand up from the bushes to answer.

"Are you sure you agree with us to take it away?" The Jin Kingdom Assassin said.

Su Qiang said coldly: "Pingshui meets, we don't need to die under your knife for this person." But you have a lot of men, and in order to prevent fraud, you will send three of you first. Two of them took the unconscious man and one of them as a hostage, and we could not leave until we left the woods. ”

The assassin hiding behind the tree hesitated, and then discussed it for a while. Seeing that Su Qiang's side was waiting for the battle, and there was no possibility of compromise, he learned that Suo Suo had walked out of the forest.

Su Qiang turned her head to look at her guard, who realized that the assassin was no more than two feet away from them.

"Kill!" Su Qiang gave an order, and the guards beside her pounced on the nearest assassin according to her instructions, and Su Qiang's hand had already poked out of his sleeve, and a dagger flew towards another assassin.

Her archery skills are good, her knife skills are good, but the best is to throw hidden weapons in the air. The Guogong Mansion disdains the use of poison, but it is not a problem to use hidden weapons.

Seeing that something was wrong, the third Assassin shouted and raised his sword. Su Qiang flashed around, drew the dagger from the throat of the second assassin, raised her arm to block, and with a bang, the long knife in the assassin's hand snapped.

Blood splattered, Su Qiang had already dodged, and her plain clothes were not stained with dust.

The third assassin slashed at Su Qiang with a broken knife, Su Qiang ran a few steps quickly to cover her body with a big tree, raised her hand to pick up the broken knife on the ground, and stabbed the assassin in the chest with a pop.

By this time, the remaining two Assassins who had remained behind the woods had also arrived.
