There was no shouting behind him, but the continuous sound of swords was even more terrifying.

The more there is no roar, the more bloody and murderous it feels.

But now, neither Xiao Qinglang nor Xu Chu have the heart to think about that. Even, they didn't have time to fear. saw that before the two of them could settle down, Xiao Qinglang backhanded the sword blade that broke through the air, and at the same time dragged Xu Chu behind him.

As the figure full of murderous intent rose and fell, although the sword was facing Xiao Qinglang's short knife, it was actually coming straight at her. Even if she didn't know martial arts, she already understood at this time that the target of these people was her at all.

In other words, Xiao Qinglang's former worries have become a reality. Those people were originally running for her. Not to take revenge on Xiao Qinglang

Xu Chu clenched his teeth tightly and moved with Xiao Qinglang's movements. Only when those assassins were close could she take advantage of the other party's might as well use the autopsy knife that she instinctively pulled out of the toolbox when Xiao Qinglang was solemn just now, and cut the opponent's throat.

His hands were sticky with warm blood stains, and everywhere he saw in his eyes, there was a blood red, so much so that Xu Chu couldn't help but tremble slightly. She never thought that one day, she would kill someone to protect herself.

Maybe it was the blood sprayed on her face that made her wake up suddenly, or maybe it was the sound of sword collision from the killing moves that Xiao Qinglang blocked for herself again and again that woke her up. At this time, her slightly hesitant eyes suddenly became firm.

Since you want to live or die, it is natural to rely on your own ability. If she wants to live, Xiao Qinglang also wants to live, then the other party must die. Inexplicably, the panic in her heart disappeared invisibly, and was replaced by a fierceness that had never been seen before.

At this time, although she still needs Xiao Qinglang's protection, it is difficult to hide her killing intent. So much so, with the fur he learned in the police academy in his previous life, he really injured a few people by skill.

In the deep mountains and forests, I don't know who should be frightened at this time.

In the dark, I saw a man with an iron mask standing on a high place and watching the birds that kept flying in the forest. After a long time, when a bloodied man stumbled over to report the news, he squinted slightly and said to the old man beside him, "Withdraw!" ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, looked at the gloomy aura emanating from his master's body, and whispered, "Young master, we have trapped the people around him, as long as we wait a little, we will be able to kill that person." ”

The man in the iron mask snorted coldly, looked at the old man gloomily and said, "I don't know what it is!" The person who can be valued by the Dog Emperor and placed next to Xiao Qinglang, which one is an idle person? The time that can trap them for half a cup of tea is already the limit. Now, seeing the frightened birds flying in the forest has not stopped, it is doomed to fail. ”

The old man was shocked, and he didn't dare to drag the mud and water anymore, so he hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

After a while, the man in the iron mask saw that Lin Zi had regained his calm, and then he disappeared.

And in the woods, just as Wei Yan and Wei Guang were surrounding those assassins, they suddenly heard the sound of fireworks and firecrackers. Then, the assassins who had been murderous just now all faded away, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest with just a few ups and downs.

Just after Wei Guang, Wei Yan and the others gathered wet, Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed weakly on Xiao Qinglang's side. And the hands were already so cold that they didn't even notice it, and they couldn't even feel the sticky and thick blood on their hands.

This time, it's different from the last time you were in distress at the Hibiscus Inn. Although it was a crisis, it didn't make her lose her proportions, let alone let her experience the fear of dying.

And this time, her faith seemed to be on the verge of collapse. In this era when human life is treated like a mustard, those powerful and conspirators can take people's lives in the shadows at any time, does she really have to compete with those people?

I have to say that Xu Chu had a little obvious fear. This was something she had never thought about, and it was the beginning of her self-doubt.

Xiao Qinglang half-squatted beside her, and saw that her face and hands were all red, and there were several lifeless bloody corpses under her feet. Immediately, he understood in his heart the reason why Xu Chu was so sluggish.

He suppressed the panic in his heart, reached out to wipe the blood red on Xu Chu's face, and then did not shy away from holding her bloodstained hands in his hands and rubbing them. The coolness on his hands was like a little thread, winding into his heart, and then wrapping tightly, making his heart ache.

"It's okay, those people are gone." Xiao Qinglang's low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears, and seeing that she still didn't move, she sighed after a while and pulled the person into her arms. "I'll get you out of here."

At this time, Aunt Chu also came in a mess, still holding a blanket in her hand. When she saw Xu Chu like this, she felt a little distressed inexplicably.

"Lord Wang, wrap Xiao Chu first."

When Xiao Qinglang helped Xu Chu wrap up the blanket, and when Aunt Chu checked her pulse, Xu Chu suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and trembled slightly, and he said, "Those people, the person who wants to kill is me, right?" ”

Her voice was dry, but with a palpable stubbornness.

"In other words, my dad isn't as safe as I thought he was, right?"

Xu Chu gritted his teeth, his hands tightly clutched Xiao Qinglang's sleeves, and he only felt a chill in his heart. Just now, the moment those people retreated, she suddenly understood something

What is the secret that Daddy is hiding, the secret that is vaguely inextricably linked to the Imperial City? It is worth those people to commit murder under Xiao Qinglang's nose!

And the reason why Daddy left that note, is it just to prevent this incident? Because, by Xiao Qinglang's side, she can be protected to the greatest extent.

At the very least, Xiao Qinglang, as the king of Jing'an, would never allow the villains to be so provocative.

Xiao Qinglang was indifferent for a moment, put his forehead on Xu Chu's head, and said with a solemn expression, "I don't know if this assassination is related to Xu Chengzuo, but one thing can be confirmed, those people have the same origin as the assassins who appeared in the Furong Inn. ”

The same technique, the same layout, and the same number of martial arts in the fight. None of this can be done by Deadpools from different backgrounds.

When Wei Yan on the side heard this, he also bowed his head and said, "That's true, the number of paths of those people is the same as the number of paths of the assassins who appeared in Yunzhou that time. ”

Wei Yan commanded the secret guards around Xiao Qinglang, and Mo said that there were countless assassinations he had encountered, and even the assassinations they participated in were not one or two. Therefore, the judgment of the origin of the assassin is more convincing than others.

Xu Chu glanced at him a little blankly, and after a while, he bit his lip and said, "So, the person who caused Daddy's disappearance, the person who wanted to kill me, and the person behind the control of Jinzhou City, is simply one person?" ”

She bit her lip and said no more.

The wind blew through the mountains in the forest, making Xu Chu, who was covered in blood, unconsciously shrink. Even though she was wrapped in a blanket, she still felt cold in her heart.

If it is really what they guessed, then what kind of turbulent waves will be waiting for them and their father in the capital?

Xiao Qinglang didn't want to see her like this, so he got up and hugged the person horizontally, and said in a deep voice, "Since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and one day, you and Xu Cheng will not have to live so anxiously." ”

Xu Chu saw that his eyes were firm, as if no matter how great the danger was, he couldn't trap his steps, until one day, he overcame thorns and thorns to clear the clouds. At this time, Xiao Qinglang, who was standing against the light, suddenly gave Xu Chu endless courage.

Maybe things weren't that bad, she thought. At least, she still has a chance, as long as she finds out the mastermind behind the scenes and uproots the forces he is secretly operating, no matter how deep that person's scheming is, she will definitely be helpless against them.

In the middle of nowhere, it's hard to find a place to stay, let alone a team of people who have just been assassinated. Not to mention in the wilderness, even if they are now in the county seat or a certain village, I am afraid that they will be treated as thieves.

Moreover, after the assassination, there were casualties among their group, as well as the loss of horses. It's also unrealistic to rush quickly.

Thinking of the actual situation, Xiao Qinglang simply ordered Wei Guang to take the guards to find a cave, and then took everyone to rest in the mountain for the time being.

The sky gradually darkened, the mountains were deserted, and the half-moon rose slightly to sprinkle a piece of moonlight, but it also made the world lonely. The sound of insects and streams mixed with each other, but Xu Chu's heart gradually calmed down.

In the cave, Aunt Chu found clean clothes and helped Xu Chu change and wash. Then, the two of them roasted the game that Wei Guang had gathered outside.

In a place they didn't know, Xiao Qinglang suddenly stumbled and slowly leaned against the trunk of the tree amid Wei Yan's exclamation.

"Lord Wang!" Because of this sudden assassination, even the secret guards all appeared at this time. Of course, they all disguised themselves, but they were afraid that in addition to the prince and Wei Guang, even Xu Chu could only recognize Wei Yan alone.

Xiao Qinglang raised his head to stop his voice, and his voice was empty, "Be quieter." ”

After speaking, he squatted under the trunk of the tree, smiled bitterly and took the ointment in his arms and threw it to Wei Yan.

"I had some injuries on my body when I jumped in the carriage, and you helped me with medicine."

At this time, Wei Yan discovered that there were many blood marks on his prince's body. The pale skin was all red, and the knees and elbows were even more bloody and blurry.

"Lord Wang, do you want someone to prepare hot water to scrub first?"

"Let's deal with it simply, don't make a fuss, when you were in the south, weren't you used to helping me treat my wounds?"

Wei Yan saw that he didn't care about it, although he still didn't agree, but he didn't insist. After all, being a dark guard is not the same as a squire. The guards, like Wei Guang, may be able to persuade the prince. can be used as a secret guard, so he can only obey the words of the prince.

Those wounds were not big, but they were all extremely deep, and where some branches were embedded, Wei Yan had to pick them out slightly with a blade. By the time the bleeding area was finished, there was not much left of half a bottle of ointment.

After everything was done, the two of them heard some rustling sounds, followed by Xu Chu's voice tentatively looking for them.

The two glanced at each other, Xiao Qinglang gave Wei Yan a closed look, and then got up to greet him after getting dressed.
