Chapter 60: Mitigation
Hong Mingyue smiled in her heart, feeling that the maid who approached him with a purpose at this moment really cared about him.
Even Li Xingwei, who was obviously scared to death, was still after the first feather arrow was shot into the carriage, unexpectedly, his pale face imprisoned himself safely in his arms.
At that moment, he lay on Li Xingwei's warm and hard chest, listening to his heartbeat like a drum, his five senses became dull, shielding all the chaos and noise around him, and there was only one him left between heaven and earth.
In an instant, Hong Mingyue felt very tired and exhausted.
The night was dark, and there was no light in the narrow streets.
The man who was fighting relied on the little light reflected by the sword shining in the moonlight to judge the enemy in front of him.
The corpses lying on their backs were still warm, and the blood that was flowing had not yet dried up.
Hong Mingyue's empty hand was hidden in his sleeve, pinching his fingering, manipulating the pocket doll he was carrying, and eating the eyes of the man in black who was close to the two of them.
How could he get a woman to protect himself?
The pocket doll flew around so fast that no one could see what it was.
Goose Huang couldn't react to what was happening, only to hear a scream, and the man in black who was about to slash with a knife was suddenly attacked by something, covering his face, red blood dripping down his fingers.
The man in black raised his hand, and Goose Huang saw that the eyes that should have been black and white were gone, leaving only empty blood holes.
However, everyone only loses one eye.
Such a strange scene made Goose Yellow terrified, and she didn't know that these were all made by the people behind her who were desperately guarding.
The unexpected situation made everyone around them more vigilant.
As they fight, they also have to prevent the attack of this eye-gouging weapon.
There were only 3 guards left in the princess's mansion who were still insisting on resisting, and the man in black on the opposite side was red-eyed at the moment.
Li Xingwei's servant had already made a meat shield, and he pulled it in front of him, and died with a whimper.
After that, Li Xingwei didn't put down the corpse, and slowly followed behind Hong Mingyue with a meat shield.
The distance between the two of them was still widened.
Hong Mingyue, who was manipulating the doll, didn't notice that a man in black who had lost one eye and held a long sword suddenly rushed out and stabbed at him.
By the time he reacted, the tip of the sword had already grazed his throat, and if it was close to a fraction more, it would cut into the neck vein.
Hong Mingyue was forced to shake off her hand.
"Princess!"
Goose Huang felt that his hands were empty, and his heart was not good, so he turned around suddenly and exclaimed.
At the same time, another man in black appeared behind Hong Mingyue, stretched out his knife, and prepared to attack.
Forward and backward pinching.
Hong Mingyue felt the danger behind him, and at this time, he wanted to retreat and dodge the front of him, but he couldn't retreat with a sword, and his doll could only solve one of the two.
Screams rang out one after another, and finally the three guards died heroically.
Just when everyone thought that Hong Mingyue was going to die, the man in black behind him suddenly snorted, Hong Mingyue bent his knees and leaned back, intending to dodge the sword in front of him.
Later, it was Li Xingwei who turned the meat shield on the man in black and beat him back a few steps at once.
In times of crisis, this usually pampered son-in-law has amazing strength.
The front and back flanking failed, and the seven or eight black-clothed people around all came over, intending to end the lives of these three unlucky guys.
Li Xingwei didn't care about anything else, and even forgot to be afraid. He was full of eyes only the pretty person in front of him, in this situation, Li Xingwei disregarded his own safety, strode forward, with long arms, and scooped Hong Mingyue, who had just stood still, into his arms.
The cold moonlight should be engraved into his heart with just a glance on his beautiful and peerless face.
He stroked the back of Hong Mingyue's head and gently pressed the person in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, Mingyue."
Hong Mingyue nestled in Li Xingwei's arms, smelling the smell of rouge on his body, and forgot to think for a while.
The brain is not working, but my heart can't control all kinds of feelings.
Afraid, tired, aggrieved, sad, satisfied, embarrassed......
This is the second time Li Xingwei has taken him into his arms tonight.
He slowly closed his eyes, and the base of his fluttering eyelashes shone with a little starlight.
Don't think about anything!
At this moment, he leaned on Li Xingwei's arms and felt unprecedentedly safe.
Goose Huang knew that none of the three of them could leave alive today, but she still stood in front of the two of them and did her last duty.
The pocket doll hovering above the heads of the three people seemed to be cheered up by someone, and the bulging bag became bigger and bigger, and the man in black didn't know what kind of trick this was, so he didn't dare to step forward for a while.
The doll was big enough to cover the three of them completely like a giant inflatable blanket.
Only then did the leader realize that he had lost the best opportunity for his hesitation just now, and he gave an order, and everyone gathered around and started in unison.
No matter what you are, seven or eight of them will poke into it together, and the copper wall will become a hornet's nest.
In an instant, the punctured doll made a huge explosion, and the surrounding black-clothed people were all blown to the ground.
The three people inside were also uncomfortable, Hong Mingyue heard Li Xingwei's muffled snort, knowing that he should be injured, and stretched out her hand to probe the wound on his back.
It was as if he was actively holding him.
Goose Yellow wasn't doing well, her face was scratched by the flying shards of fabric, and her ears were still ringing.
Li Xingwei was not only injured by the explosion, but also stabbed in the back by the assassin.
Hong Mingyue's slender jade hand cruised up and down behind his back, Li Xingwei moved, pulled his arm back, and took it back into his arms.
The fingertips were sticky and smelled of rust.
Luckily for them, the sound of the explosion alarmed a patrol that was carrying out a curfew mission nearby.
Although the patrol team was usually very lax, the sound just now made them vigilant.
The sound of a couple of people running was heard not far from the street, and the three of them heard the man at the head shouting: "Imperial City Patrol, who is in front?" Why here? ”
They're safe.
Hong Mingyue moved, wanting to break free from Li Xingwei's embrace, and the team would come to them in a while, if they were found hugging each other like this, it would not be good for anyone.
I don't know when, Li Xingwei buried his head in Hong Mingyue's shoulder socket and didn't move.
"Li Gongzi?" Hong Mingyue called softly.
No response.
"Li Gongzi?" The goose yellow on the side shouted.
Still no sound.
The two of them glanced at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the bad result they had guessed in their hearts.
Goose Huang stretched out his hand and helped Hong Mingyue get the person down.
The two of them had just flattened Li Xingwei, and the patrol had just arrived, stopping ten paces in front of them.
They were stunned by what they saw.
The ground was littered with corpses and feathered arrows, and two beautiful women were reaching out to probe under the nose of a man in a gorgeous robe lying on the ground, surrounded by a circle of motionless men in black.
