Chapter 287: Assassination along the road
The Dark Moon Country, the Qingwang Mansion. Situ Huoqing kept pacing back and forth in the study, his face was slightly furrowed, and he had a completely absent-minded expression. At that moment, a guard came in to report it.
"Back to the prince, Miss Shui has already left the prince's mansion and is on the road."
"Okay, give the order, and set off immediately." Situ Huoqing heard this and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates will send people to protect Miss Shui along the way, so you don't have to go." The guards were a little embarrassed.
Recently, Concubine Ning Niangniang sent someone to keep an eye on the palace very closely, if the prince went there in person at this juncture, I was afraid that Concubine Ning would be even more annoyed when she found out.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can do whatever the king says!" Situ Huoqing said impatiently.
He is very clear about the temperament of the concubine, and at the birthday banquet, Shui Ningyan offended the mother concubine and made the mother concubine openly ugly, so the mother concubine will definitely not let go of Shui Ningyan, and if you want to attack Shui Ningyan, this is undoubtedly the best time. At the birthday banquet, he was already guilty for not being able to relieve this woman, and this time he must not let his mother hurt her.
"But Lord Wang, if Concubine Ning knows...... the guards looked embarrassed, and wanted to persuade Situ Huoqing, who expected Situ Huoqing's face to be extremely cold.
"Don't forget who is your master. If you dare to say more, get out of the palace for this king immediately! ”
"Please punish the prince, his subordinates know that they are wrong!" Situ Huoqing put down his cruel words, and the guards were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Situ Huoqing glanced at the guards coldly, and said coldly: "Don't go down and prepare!" If there is a next time, it will be severely punished! ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go now, thank you prince!" The guard got up and slipped out of the room as if flying.
Situ Huoqing stood with his hands in his hands and muttered alone: "Shui Ningyan, you can't have an accident this time!" ”
The golden sun sprinkled all over the woods, and now it was a crisp autumn weather, and the water condensation smoke and the wind sat in the carriage, and the rain sat outside to catch the car. In the quiet woods, the sun shines through the foliage, leaving dappled light and shadows, and the occasional birdsong makes the surroundings even quieter.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Ruofeng looked up and saw her master frowning slightly along the way, a little puzzled.
Shui Ningyan groaned slightly, and then spoke: "I always feel that there is a team of people secretly following us. ”
"Not really. Master, are you delusional? ”
Shui Ningyan shook his head. The vigilance cultivated over the years convinced Shui Ningyan that he had not made a mistake in judgment. Ruofeng also felt that this was very unlikely.
"Is that Prince Situ sending someone to secretly protect his master?" Ruofeng couldn't help but guess.
"I don't know."
When she said goodbye to Situ Shaogong this morning, she refused Situ Shaogong to send people to protect her along the way. So now she can't be sure who is secretly following her.
Shui Ningyan groaned slightly, and then said: "Forget it, no matter who the other party is, we can't be wrong to be careful in everything." ”
Ruofeng felt that her master was reasonable, nodded, and immediately cheered up and was on guard carefully. Two hours later, the carriage reached a cliff with towering peaks on both sides and trees obscuring the sky.
Shui Ningyan looked at the surrounding situation through the car window, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce color: "Everyone be careful, there is an ambush ahead!" ”
"There is an ambush?" Ruofeng and Jiyu were slightly stunned, and then their faces were solemn, and they didn't dare to have a trace of carelessness.
"Hurry up and get out of here!" Shui Ning Smoke commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, master!"
When the rain fell, the whip in his hand waved on the horse's belly again and again, and the horse was in pain, neighed, spread its hooves and galloped forward desperately. Just as he was about to pass through and leave this cliff, Shui Ningyan felt a murderous aura getting thicker and thicker.
"Hurry up and get out of the carriage!"
Shui Ningyan roared, and when the wind and rain heard this, the three masters and servants flew up from the carriage, almost leaving the carriage, and in the next moment, countless boulders hit the carriage.
The carriage was torn apart in an instant, and even the tall horse was hit by a boulder, screamed, and fell to the ground. Ruofeng and Jiyu looked at the boulders falling from the sky, and secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if it wasn't for the master's timely reminder just now, I was afraid that they would all be smashed into meat by those boulders.
At the same time, the two of them were on fire again. Drawing the long sword in his hand, he swept with cold eyes, aiming at the black-clothed people hiding in the shadows, and the next moment he flew away like an arrow from a string. Then came the sound of wailing.
If the wind and the rain raised their swords and fell, the red blood was like a red plum blooming in mid-air, bewitching and bloody, those black-clothed people didn't expect the two subordinates of the water condensation smoke to be so powerful.
At that moment, the leader of the man in black said angrily: "Quick, kill Shui Ningyan!" ”
When the words fell, all the black-clothed people attacked towards the water condensation. Shui Ningyan glanced coldly, and there were fifty or sixty people. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up with a hint of mockery. She hasn't been killing for a long time, and since someone wants to die, how can she not be able to fulfill it?
As soon as he thought of this, the black iron chain around his waist flew out. The water condensation smoke is ruthless and fast. Those black-clothed people only saw the light and shadow of the black iron chain, and before they could make any movement, the black iron chain wrapped around their necks like a spirit snake, and in the next moment, Shui Ningyan's wrist shook slightly, and the head fell from the neck in response, and they could clearly hear the crisp sound of bones breaking when they were dying.
The water condensation smoke is almost a one-stroke killing. Those men in black were suddenly terrified. They completely underestimated Shui Ningyan's strength, originally saw Shui Ningyan's two subordinates have extremely high martial arts, and it is not easy to deal with, thinking that Shui Ningyan's seemingly delicate woman must be easy to deal with, but they didn't expect that the woman in front of them has a fairy-like appearance, but she is more ruthless and terrifying than a bloodthirsty devil.
The black-clothed people who were hit by the condensation smoke fell down one after another like rice, and the black-clothed people who were originally fifty or sixty fell in the blink of an eye.
"Tell Miss Ben who ordered you to kill me?" The cold voice carried an aura of non-anger and self-authority, as if it came from the Netherworld Hell.
The men in black trembled violently in fright when they saw their companions fall one by one, looking at the scene of rivers of blood and corpses piling up in front of them. In the end, the remaining seven or eight black-clothed men threw down the big knife in their hands, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Miss Shui's life, I am just acting on orders, and I ask Miss Shui to be merciful and spare my dog's life!" ”
"Well, if you tell who is behind this, I can spare you from death!" The water condensation smoke rubbed the blood-stained blackiron chain on the dead black-clothed man's body, and after retracting the blackiron chain, he said slowly.
"Miss Shui, I can't hide it, it was Concubine Ning who ordered me to come and take your life, so please; Will you spare our lives? ”
"Yes, Miss Shui, Concubine Ning hates you so much, so she ordered us to kill you."
"Miss Shui, I don't know Taishan if I have eyes, and I ask you to spare the little one."
At this moment, the men in black were cold, and kept begging for mercy, for fear that they would die at the hands of Shui Ningyan if they were not careful.
"Concubine Ning?" Shui Ningyan frowned slightly, she had already guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was likely to be Concubine Ning.
Those black-clothed people thought that Shui Ningyan didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "Miss Shui, what we said is true, and please Miss Shui must believe it!" ”
"Master, these men in black dare to kill you, they really deserve death, you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain." Ruofeng and Ji Yu walked up to Shui Ningyan at this time and said angrily.
When the man in black heard this, he was immediately frightened and howled: "Miss Shui spares her life, the little one has already told the truth, you can't kill the little one!" ”
"Heh, you are right, if Miss Ben kills you, wouldn't it be discredited?"
After Shui Ningyan finished speaking, the eyes of the black-clothed people suddenly lit up, and they quickly nodded and said, "What Miss Shui said is good, thank you Miss Shui for sparing her life." ”
After the words fell, several people in black hurriedly got up, and were about to flee, when Shui Ningyan suddenly shouted coldly: "Slow! ”
The man in black suddenly trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Shui, what else do you command?" ”
"Miss Ben just said that if you tell the person behind the scenes, you can consider sparing your life, but if she didn't say it, she will definitely spare you!" Shui Ningyan tidied up the clothes on his body and said slowly.
When the man in black heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily, they didn't expect Shui Ningyan to be so cunning at all, they wanted to argue with Shui Ningyan, but they were afraid of annoying the other party, so as long as they held back the anger in their hearts, they kept begging for mercy.
"In this way, go back and tell Concubine Ning, if she is obsessed again, Miss Ben will definitely let her head be in danger!" After Shui Ningyan finished speaking, he paused slightly, and continued, "Of course, only one person is needed to pass the message, whether which of you will pass the word to Concubine Ning or it is up to you to decide." ”
Shui Ningyan looked at the black-clothed people for a long time, and the next moment he saw that the black-clothed men began to fight each other, and the scene was extremely bloody. After a cup of tea, only one person survived in the end. The man in black who was lucky enough to survive was like a frightened bird, and he didn't even have time to pick up the big knife on the ground, so he dragged his seriously injured body and hurriedly fled.
When Ruofeng and Ji Yu saw this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts for the black belly of their master.
After solving these black-clothed people, the three masters and servants were about to continue their journey, but who knew that not far away, there was a sound of horses' hooves rattling. At the moment, the three masters and servants stood in place, frowning slightly, and secretly said in their hearts: I don't know who it will be this time?
At that moment, the corners of the lips of the water condensation smoke couldn't help but draw a playful arc. I'm afraid that this time her journey back to Dongli Kingdom will definitely not be easy.
The mysterious person who was in the miasma forest before has not yet been settled, and then the grudge with Princess Dailan deepened, and this Concubine Ning did not plan to let her go, so this road is destined not to be peaceful.
However, she killed the gods when she met the gods, and killed the Buddha when she met the Buddha, and it was not easy to get her head on the neck.
