The bright moon was eaten by the thick clouds so that only a remnant was missing, and the faint moonlight could not penetrate the dense woods, and the woods were even darker. In the darkness, the swords collided with each other and burst into flames, and the man struggled to catch the opponent's deadly attack, and the strong figure of the opponent could be vaguely seen, wrapped in a night coat from head to toe, only the pair of vulture-like eyes stared at him tightly, which was the firmness and ruthlessness that killed him.

Seven or eight strong men in black surrounded the man, and the wheel battle was repeated, and it was obvious that the man had the upper hand, although he had been well trained since he was a child, he still couldn't match the group of well-trained men in black in front of him, whose force value was not low.

With a pop, his right arm was cut by an unknown sword, and the man grinned, the current situation did not allow him to pay attention to the condition of the wound, and the slightest distraction was in danger of death. After several battles, the man was already out of breath, and although the other party was dead and wounded, he was still tightly surrounded by him.

I hope that Shangguan Tinghan will understand the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and come to his aid before he falls.

On the other side, Shangguan Tinghan chased the suspicious character for a few miles, and suddenly disappeared from the other party's figure, and he searched for a long time in the dense forest before finding the body of the suspicious character. Shangguan Tinghan immediately stepped forward to check, he lit the torch, the faint light shone on the corpse, under the firelight, the corpse's face could be discerned. After some groping, it was found that there was no wound on the body at all.

Confused, he searched the body, but there was not a single piece of information about the man he wanted, except for an ordinary piece of linen with the word "stupid" written on it.

Shangguan Tinghan suddenly thought of something, suddenly extinguished the fire extinguisher, scolded secretly, and hurriedly got up and ran in the direction of his master.

Only two of the men in black who assassinated the man survived, and the man used his sword to block the attack of the man in black in front of him, and with a slight sideways gaze, he kicked the person behind him who was about to sneak attack to the ground. For some reason, after the man fell to the ground, he let out a scream and died. When the man in black in front of him saw his companion like this, he was also red-eyed, withdrew the saber that was pressing on the man's sword, and stabbed straight at the man while he was distracted. The man saw the danger coming, and hurriedly dodged before turning the sword stabbed to the heart of the man in black to his left shoulder. The man in black doesn't care so much, and it won't be in vain to be able to stab him.

The man felt the strength of the black-clothed man's sword, and the pain spread to every sense of his body, and he suddenly felt his face distort in pain. He didn't care so much, and held the sword of the man in black in his right hand, trying to lighten some of the force, otherwise his left shoulder would probably be useless. The crimson blood slowly flowed with the shiny sword body, and fell into the boundless darkness.

The man in black almost exerted all his strength, and the man seemed to be able to see his nose wrinkled by exertion, and his unwilling upper and lower teeth competing with each other.

The man frowned, a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, and countless wounds on his body, large and small, pulled him, he couldn't fall, otherwise there would be no chance to wake up.

"Your Highness." As soon as Shangguan heard Han's words, the man in black in front of the man also fell to the ground, and the long sword was drawn out as the man in black fell to the ground, and in an instant, blood gushed out.

The man fell down in a state of weakness, blinking, not noticing a black figure disappearing into the woods not far away.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness......"

In the early morning of the second day, the man opened his eyes slightly, and saw a young man lying on the side of the bed sleeping extremely unsteadily. The man hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and gently stroked the inky gray crane embroidered brocade on his forehead: "Qian'er, for my brother, I will protect you for the rest of your life." ”

The young man blinked his eyelashes, slowly opened his eyes, and was relieved to see the man on the bed waking up. If he was one step too late, Shangguan Tinghan, that idiot, would definitely let his brother sleep in Shaoyao Mountain outside the city.

The young man took care of the man for a night, and hurried to the court without even eating breakfast in the early morning, and told the story of the man's assassination clearly. Seeing that the man was not awake, he tossed and turned in front of his couch, for fear that someone with a heart would take advantage of the loophole and hurt his brother.

"Brother." The young man put away his careful thoughts, and his eyes were filled with tears: "The assassination of my brother, Qian'er has already reported to my father, and my father has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and my brother only needs to recuperate." ”

"How many days did you sleep for my brother?"

"My brother woke up today from the wound he was wounded last night."

"That's right!" The man chuckled: "Is there any movement in the court?" ”

"Not yet."

"Who is going to investigate this thoroughly?"

"The right phase is clearly worn."

"Oh?" The man laughed again and sighed lightly: "I really want to know what kind of explanation the right minister will give me!" ”

"Well, Qian'er wants to know too." Zhongli Boqian darkened his eyes, got up to cover the futon for Zhongli Bojun, and said with a smile: "Since my brother has woken up, then Qian'er is going to go to the appointment, and Qian'er has made an appointment with Sima Yuqin, the son of the Shangshu family in the Criminal Department, to talk about music theory." ”

"Go ahead!" Zhongli Bojun waved his hand at him, watched his figure disappear into the dormitory, and then summoned Shangguan to listen to the cold.

……

"The subordinates are not well protected, please punish Your Highness." As soon as Shangguan Tinghan stepped into the dormitory, he knelt down in front of Zhongli Bojun's couch.

"Go to the torture chamber and get ten boards." Zhongli Bojun looked helplessly at the stubborn man in front of the bed.

"Your Highness......" Shangguan Tinghan still knelt: "Ten boards are too light to make up for the mistakes made by subordinates." ”

"Listen to Han, you and I grew up together since childhood, like brothers. Besides, you still have to protect me, and if I punish you severely, who will save me if I am assassinated again? ”

"Your Highness......" Shangguan Tinghan is loyal to Zhongli Bojun.

"That's it, those ten boards don't need to be used, just pay attention next time." Zhongli Bojun sat up with difficulty, and when Shangguan heard this, he immediately stepped forward to support him.

"How is Your Highness feeling?"

"Minor injuries don't get in the way." Zhongli Bojun smiled at him with a relieved smile: "It stands to reason that the assassination of His Royal Highness has been reported, there should be no shortage of people to visit me in this Qingxian Palace, right?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Seventh has announced to the outside that you need to recuperate, and all visits will not be seen, and you have asked the emperor, and after receiving the emperor's decree, naturally no one dares to disobey the holy decree."

"Well, you don't have to see the prince's gloating face."

"Who knows? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gloating or unwilling? Shangguan Tinghan sighed lightly: "Isn't this bullying His Highness for having no backer?" ”

Zhongli Bojun pondered for a moment.

"Listen to the cold! I want you to do one thing for me. ”

When Shangguan Tinghan heard this, he hurriedly stood up straight, lowered his head and listened.

"I want you to help me lure out the young master Qingzijin of the Delusional Sect."

"Your Royal Highness......" Shangguan Tinghan heard Qing Zijin's name, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Highness, you must not, that vain birth door can't be provoked casually." ”

"Listen to Han, if I have the support of the Delusion Sect, I will be able to protect Qian'er, and I will have a few more chances of victory in the future struggle."

"Your Royal Highness, this matter is really inappropriate, the five princes want to use the delusional birth gate to compete for the position of the crown prince, Qing Zijin was provoked to be very impatient, it has only been two years since she killed the five princes in anger, her methods are extremely cruel, her martial arts are unmatched by her subordinates, and Qing Zijin was only fourteen years old back then." Shangguan heard Han and saw that Zhong Li Bojun was silent, and continued: "After the eldest prince ascended to the throne of the crown prince, he buried the matter of Qing Zijin killing the five princes in anger, Qing Zijin may still have some friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, if you and I go rashly, it is inevitable that we will fall into the fate of the five princes." ”

"It is impossible for Qing Zijin to have a relationship with the prince, legend has it that she is arrogant, cold and powerful, and will never take the prince in her eyes."

"Then Qing Zijin doesn't put the crown prince in his eyes, how can he put your Royal Highness in his eyes?" Shangguan Tinghan retorted.

"I'm ......" Zhongli Bojun was speechless for a moment.
