Chapter 69: Halfway through an assassin

The early morning sun was particularly dazzling, and through the curtain of the car window, it was sprinkled on them, warm. Suddenly, I heard a shocking roar from the horses outside the car, and the carriage stopped at great speed.

"Lord Wang! Be careful! There is an ambush! Outside the car, Zhang Yuan's words did not fall, only to hear the sound of a whooshing rain of arrows striking the carriage at lightning speed, followed by the sound of swords colliding.

"Miss, are you alright?" Ling'er hurriedly climbed into the car, only to see Yun Yan being held in Xiao Ruoran's arms, and was relieved to see that she was fine.

Yun Yan looked at Xiao Ruoran nervously and asked, "What's the matter?" How can there be assassins on a dayless day? ”

Xiao Ruoran glanced outward, then looked at the frightened Yun Yan in his arms, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's just a few little thieves, and you can't even take the life of this king!" ”

Yun Yan heard him so determined, her heart was a lot more steady, she slowly came out of his arms, looked out the window, only to see Zhang Yuan holding a long sword, fighting with six masked black-clothed people, I thought he was just Xiao Ruoran's little follower, I didn't want him to be a practitioner, at this time he was surrounded by the six people in the middle, Yun Yan turned his head and shouted to Xiao Ruoran: "You go and save him!" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruoran's expression was indifferent, and he spit out two words lightly: "No!" ”

"You ......" Yun Yan wanted to scold him for being cold-blooded, but before he could speak, the sound of swords outside the car stopped abruptly.

She looked out, only to see that the six black-clothed men were all lying motionless on the ground, Zhang Yuan put away his long sword, walked towards the carriage, and said to the car: "Lord Wang, the subordinates have not found anything on them, only one point, they are all ......"

"What?" Xiao Ruoran said coldly.

"All eunuchs!" Zhang Yuan seemed a little embarrassed, and then asked, "Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to go and tell the emperor first?" ”

Xiao Ruoran thought for a moment and instructed him: "At this time, it should be early, you go directly to the main hall and tell the emperor truthfully in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go!"

Yun Yan lifted the curtain, only to see that the palace gate was less than a mile away, who was so bold as to dare to assassinate at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

"Are we safe now?" Yun Yan retracted his gaze and looked back at Xiao Ruoran, "Who wants to kill you?" ”

Xiao Ruoran straightened his sleeves, sat back in place, and sneered: "It's just stupid people!" ”

Such a tone suddenly reminded her of the scene when she met him for the first time, and she said to herself: "Could it be her? ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Ruoran asked.

Yun Yan had no evidence, so she didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, she glanced at herself, then looked up and said to Xiao Ruoran: "Maybe the person they want to kill is me!" ”

"On what basis?"

Yun Yan thought for a while and said: "The first thing that can be excluded is the people in the palace, because the people in the palace will never choose to commit crimes in front of their own door, and the second is the people who are officials, if they want to kill you, they will definitely not send such a few eunuchs, and they don't have that ability." ”

"So what?" Xiao Ruoran seemed to be looking forward to her answer.

"So the main messenger of this matter can only be a woman, but with your status and status, it is estimated that no woman in the entire Star Moon Kingdom will want to kill you, therefore, she just wants to kill me, and if I die, no one can pose a threat to her, but she underestimated you and thought that you would not save a woman!"

"You're half right, she may want to use this to test the king's mind, so as to sow discord and achieve the goal of winning over someone, otherwise how could she shoot arrows directly at the king's car? Doesn't she know the strength of this king? ”

Yun Yan pondered for a while and said, "That's right, but by someone, do you mean?" ”

Xiao Ruoran pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, and said, "It's just a child!" Sometimes if you are too persistent, you will often go astray and become a tool used by bad people! ”

"So what do we do now? You can't just wait there, right? Yun Yan didn't bother to take care of his personal affairs, he just wanted to leave this ghost place quickly.

"What, you're scared?"

Yun Yan glanced out at the six dead corpses, feeling that goosebumps were about to rise, she leaned closer to Xiao Ruoran's side and said, "It's the first time I've seen so many dead people, do you think I'm afraid?" ”

Xiao Ruoran stretched out his hand and took her in his arms, and smiled: "Since you are frightened, then stay here well, after a while, the imperial brother is here, and this king will also give him an errand!" ”
