Seeing the killer getting closer and closer, Mu Fan wanted to resist but couldn't do anything, and he had lost too much blood and gradually couldn't see everything in front of him clearly.

"Your Highness, don't blame me, I'm just carrying out orders."

At the moment when the dagger stabbed at Mu Fan, the killer suddenly stopped and stood motionless in front of him.

When Mu Fan was puzzled, he heard the killer fall beside him with a "bang".

He narrowed his eyes and vaguely saw an arrow piercing the killer's neck.

In this dark environment, only one person in Mu Fan's acquaintance can do it.

"Mr. Xu." Mu Fan shouted firmly.

"Your Highness!" A figure knelt down in front of Mu Fan, and a familiar voice sounded in Mu Fan's ears, "Wechen is late for help, and you have suffered." After that, he hurriedly commanded the accompanying doctor to check Mu Fan's body.

Before Mu Fan could respond, there was another excited shout in the distance: "No. 1!" His Highness is here, and Mr. Xu is also here, so presumably His Highness is safe. ”

When a few people arrived, they saw the miserable scene in front of them, and the joy of finding Mu Fan just now disappeared, leaving only bursts of cold sweat from their bodies.

They were afraid that if Mr. Xu was not here, they would probably lose His Highness forever.

"Xu ...... Mr. Xu, you are also here. Your Highness...... He's okay. No. 1 even forgot to ask Mu Fan for peace, and greeted Xu Changping tremblingly.

"Humph! Do you think he looks good or bad? If I'm a little late today, you'll never see him again. Of course, if he has any strengths and weaknesses, you all have to go to the funeral. ”

has been following Mu Fan for so long, everyone knows that His Royal Highness's teacher, Mr. Xu, usually doesn't say a word, and if he speaks, even the dead can give him a life.

The best way not to be scolded by him all the time is not to talk, let him keep scolding, and when he says enough, he will naturally stop.

Of course, that was usual, and not speaking at such a critical juncture would have touched his scales.

"What does it mean to not speak at all? Why, do you really think you'll stop when you don't answer me and wait until I've said enough? Xu Chang glanced at them, "Why are there only a few of you, and the others?" Ran away? ”

"No. 3 took half of the guards to find His Highness in that village."

"But Your Highness is here." Xu Changping thought for a moment and asked, "What order did you give him?" ”

"If you can't find Your Highness, kill the whole village."

Mu Fan, who was already on the verge of a coma, heard No. 1 say this, and immediately bit his tongue to wake himself up.

He was so angry that he used his last strength to order: "Don't touch a single person in this village." ”

After saying that, he passed out.

"But Your Highness, they have been going for a while on the third, and they are estimated to have already started to do it." No. 1 looked at Mu Fan tangledly, and couldn't wait for Mu Fan's response for a long time.

But I heard Xu Changping's roar: "Didn't you hear His Highness's order?" I don't care what you do, go and stop Three for me right away. If there is any mistake in the village, come and see it. ”

What the master said was an absolute order for the dark guards, and they naturally carried out the orders given by Mu Fan unconditionally.

Xu Changping is not only their master's teacher, but also the second person besides Mu Fan who can control their power of life and death, after all, they have made a military order before, if Mu Fan has any mistakes, his group will go to the funeral.

This is the fate of a secret guard.

When the master gives birth to them, they live, and when the master dies, they die.

One and the other guards rushed to the open area with all their might, and after releasing the flares that their guards used to communicate, they hurried towards the village.

At this point, One can only pray that Number Three will see the signal flare that represents the pause before he moves.

But he didn't know that the number three would never get a chance to see again.

At that time, No. 3 followed No. 9 with ten secret guards, and the more he walked, the more he felt weak, and gradually showed signs of poisoning.

Their secret guards have been trained since childhood, although they can't be said to be invincible to all poisons, but ordinary poisons can't help them, but at this time, they were unknowingly poisoned, and they are still looking for His Highness.

The eleven Dark Guards were weak on all fours, and they walked more and more slowly, and only Nine was still swaggering ahead.

"Nine, what's going on? Why are we all poisoned and you're okay? ”

The only answer to number three is silence.

"Nine! Say something! ”

"Nine?" Nine, who was walking in front, tore off the skin of his face and waved, "Are you calling him?" ”

No. 3 looked at the unfamiliar face and said sharply, "Who are you?" What is the purpose of pretending to be Nine? ”

"What is the purpose? Of course, it's to catch you all. The man showed a look of disdain, "It is said that the secret guards of the Third Highness are well-trained and are the most perfect of all the secret guards. ”

"But when I saw it today, I couldn't even find my colorless and odorless poison."

"Isn't that number nine the best at tracking among you, but his anti-tracking ability is really not very good, and it's really boring to be put down by me so easily."

No. 3 knows that he will not escape death today, but even if he dies, he will take this person with him.

Only a few of them know that this No. 9 is fake, and if he escapes, it will definitely threaten the safety of His Highness.

Several secret guards glanced at each other, nodded tacitly, and slowly got up with the last of their strength, slowly dispersed, and surrounded the man in the middle.

The man looked sarcastic and said disdainfully: "Why, isn't it good to wait quietly for death?" You still want to rebel against me, hehe, you're really loyal. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, even if you die, you will be pulled on your back, and the thief will take his life!"

……

When No. 1 desperately arrived at the scene, he saw twelve corpses lying compactly on the ground.

He looked carefully and found that the eleven people including No. 3 didn't know what they had experienced, and they all smiled with satisfaction.

Several of them held the limbs of a man he had never seen before, and one held the man's head tightly.

The man held a human skin mask, which Number One recognized, and it was Number Nine's face.

Three held his favorite sword and stuck it in the man's heart, his body stiff but still kneeling and refusing to fall, as if he was going to put his whole body weight on the sword.

"Three, what the hell have you been through? Why is the battle so fierce? Number One clenched his fists and slammed into the ground, "Who the hell is it!" Not only did he hurt His Highness, but he also didn't let go of our secret guards. ”

He blamed himself for whether he could have discovered Nine's anomaly early enough to save the brothers from disaster.

Although they are secret guards who don't even have names, they have no family and no friends.

But after so many years of being born and dying together, they have long regarded their companions as relatives.

They are different from the dead who have no feelings and can only kill.

They also have the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people, and they are reluctant to see any of their relatives leave.

Holding back the grief in his heart, One, along with the other guards, found a place to bury the dead brothers.

After simply making a few graves and kowtowing three times on the spot, No. 1 left with the rest of the secret guards, and they all secretly swore in their hearts that they would definitely kill their enemies and avenge these brothers who died in vain.

When No. 1 returned to the meeting place that Xu Changping had agreed with them, he saw Xu Changping anxiously walking around the house like a headless fly. Every time a doctor came out of the house, he would come up and ask about it.

Watching the doctor keep bringing out basins of blood and water from the house, No. 1 knew that His Highness was not good.

No. 1 ran to Xu Changping in three steps and two steps, and asked nervously and cautiously, "How is Your Highness?" ”

Xu Changping sighed and shook his head: "The wound is next to the heart, and whether you can survive it can only depend on the will of heaven." ”

He bowed to the sky, "I hope that Niangniang's spirit in the sky can bless Your Highness." ”

Mu Fan spent a thrilling night here, and Xia Yan's family didn't close their eyes all night.

"Mother, it's dawn, we've been waiting all night. Why hasn't Mu Fan come back yet? Xia Yan's eyes were red and he asked anxiously.

"Could it be that you are wandering around at night and getting lost?" Yan gently comforted Xia Yan, "Yan'er, you go to sleep for a while, and your mother and your brother will go out to find it." Mu Fan is so smart, even if he gets lost, he won't run around. ”

Xia Yan shook his head, "Mother, I want to go with you." It's all to blame for saying something I shouldn't have said yesterday and leaving Mu Fan angry, and when I find him, I will apologize to him as soon as possible. ”

"Hey, why do you bother?" Yan touched Xia Yan's head, "Yan'er, you remember, when you are angry in the future, you have to think about it when you are angry, you are not happy to say cruel things, you are comfortable, but what is the feeling in the hearts of the people who hear it?" ”

"I know, mother. Not in the future. Xia Yan nodded obediently and agreed.

Xia Yan and the three of them went out and searched around the village, but they didn't find any trace of Mu Fan.

They unconsciously walked to the place where the three men had fought before.

Xia Yan pointed to the messy battlefield and asked uneasily: "Mother, you see that there is so much chaos there, and there is so much blood, it can't be Mu Fan's." ”

"No...... Impossible, who dares to kill someone in broad daylight, maybe this is the blood left by which family killed pigs there, Mu Fan must have been lost in the foggy mountains, Yan'er, didn't you find him there before, let's go into the mountains to find out. ”

The three of them hurried to Wubi Mountain, and turned around the periphery of the mountain, but still found no trace of Mu Fan.

Yan Shi also began to get anxious, she bit her lip and thought about it, and finally decided to take her two children to the depths of Wubi Mountain to find it.

Xia Huai, who was aware of Yan's purpose, immediately stopped her, "Mother, we can't go inside anymore." Everyone in the village knows that you can't just go into the foggy mountain in winter. I was scared on the periphery just now, but now it's getting dark, and there are only two ends for us to go in like this, either we get lost and starve inside, or we are eaten as dinner by wild beasts. ”
