Chapter 140: Assassination

The road from Yinchuan to Longcheng in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is long, and it can really be described as trekking through mountains and rivers.

"Lord Han, the princess said that she was tired from the boat and car, and she was not feeling well, and she needed to get out of the car and rest for a while." The maid in the carriage lifted the curtain again and shouted to Hanxin.

Sitting on horseback with a cold heart, wearing a black power suit is more energetic. After listening to the maid's words, she glanced at the carriage behind her, and said in a deep voice: "Ten miles away, there will be a farm, and then I will ask the princess to rest." ”

After speaking, he continued to ride his horse forward, ignoring the maid's depressed expression.

In the car, Xia Qingxi heard the chilling words, ripped off the hijab on his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Doesn't he listen to what Princess Ben says?" ”

The maid Caiyue saw that Xia Qingxi was displeased, and hurriedly comforted: "Princess, don't be angry, what is your identity?" And what is his identity? No matter how powerful he is, he is just a courtier, you are the princess of the emperor's own title, and when you arrive in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you may become the queen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, why not find a chance to clean him up. ”

Caiyue's words really played a lot of roles, and Xia Qingxi's anger also disappeared by half. Reaching out to lift the curtain, he saw the back of the high seat on the horse's back, and the slightest conspiracy swirled under his eyes.

Along the way, Hanxin can be regarded as seeing what kind of virtue this pampered eldest lady is. It's a long-distance trip, but people hurt here and there all day long. Walking too fast, disgusted with the bumpy carriage, eating dry food, disgusted with bad taste, living in the guest house, disgusted with the bed uncomfortable. It was supposed to be a month-long journey, but if it continued like this, I was afraid that I would not be able to reach Longdu on time.

Cold-hearted no longer had anything to do with her temperament, and ordered the guards beside the carriage that as long as there was no order from herself, everyone must not stop, but can only continue to hurry.

In the middle of dusk, I finally arrived in a nearby town.

found an inn, and asked the boss to arrange the best room for Xia Qingxi.

The group was also exhausted and went down to rest.

Since leaving Yinchuan, Hanxin has not been lying down and sleeping comfortably. Every time I sleep, I just recline on the bed, and the saber is always placed closest to the hand.

Although he didn't like Xia Qingxi, in the end, she was now a princess who was close to her, and if something happened to her, she was afraid that Ling Yan would use the topic to play and affect the relationship between the two countries.

During the reign of Dongfang Huai, a large number of construction projects were carried out, coupled with the drought in the previous years of Shengtian, and the treasury was already empty. After Dongfang Sheng ascended the throne, although the military power is now unified, he still has to recuperate, and it is not suitable for war, let alone war.

She knows this, and others also know it, so Xia Qingxi's safety is like a*, if someone lightly ignites it, I'm afraid that everything will be blown to pieces.

In the night, I saw a few black-clothed people coming in the breeze, and their clever figures were like cheetahs galloping on the grassland, seeking the right time to tear the food off.

Hanxin closed his eyes lightly, breathed evenly, and slept lightly.

The slight rattle of the tiles was abrupt in the silence of the night. As soon as his ears shook, he quickly opened his eyes.

A moment later, I heard the window of the chilling room gently pushed open, and several black shadows descended and jumped in softly along the eaves.

The bright knife glowed with murderous aura, and the location of the bed was identified by the cool moonlight. The curtains swayed gently by the wind that penetrated the room.

Several dark shadows slowly approached, and seeing that they were about to reach the bed, their eyes were understanding, and they quickly slashed towards the bed.

The thin quilt was smashed, only to realize that the bed was empty.

"Hit the mark!" One shouted softly. Several dark shadows were startled and turned to leave, but were blocked by a shadow falling from the sky.

"It's a guest from afar, and I haven't been entertained yet, how can I leave?" The chilling words are like an edict from hell, with the smell of death.

Several black-clothed people didn't expect Hanxin to be so alert, their eyes showed a fierce light, raised their knives, and attacked Hanxin.

The chilling, thin body hides amazing strength. The corner of his mouth sneered, drew out his long sword, and soared up, in the strange figure, several blood marks quickly crossed, transformed into blood flowers, and fell to the ground, several black shadows widened their eyes, and they fell down one after another.

The door was pushed open, Chen Yuan and Wu Xu rushed in, and in the moonlight, they saw corpses all over the ground, standing alone in the middle of the house, and the evil aura all over their bodies made people tremble.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Chen Yuan hurriedly asked.

Wu Xu had already lit the candle, and the room suddenly lit up.

"Dispose of the body." After Hanxin finished speaking, he walked out. In the next room, the window was originally open with a gap, but it was also gently pushed shut and closed tightly.

Early in the morning, Xia Qingxi went downstairs and saw that Han Xin was already sitting at the table, quietly eating breakfast. The delicate side face reveals indifference.

"Did Lord Han have a good rest last night?" Xia Qingxi, supported by the maid, slowly came to the side of Hanxin and asked out loud.

Hanxin didn't get up, only raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Qingxi, "Thank you princess for your concern, Weichen slept very well last night." ”

At this moment, Wu Xu walked in from outside, "My lord, everything has been taken care of." It's just that last night's assassin's matter, does it need to be thoroughly investigated? ”

Before Han Xin could speak, Xia Qingxi exclaimed: "What? Assassin? There were assassins last night? Is Han-sama okay? ”

Hanxin looked at Xia Qingxi's appearance as a thief shouting to catch a thief, and he only felt funny. "It's just a few little thieves, and they've been dealt with. Princesses need not worry. After Hanxin finished speaking, he got up, "Princess, please hurry up and eat, we must leave as soon as possible." ”

Before the words fell, he had already taken Wu Xu out of the door.

Caiyue looked at the back of the cold heart disappearing, and shouted at Xia Qingxi: "Princess, what should I do?" ”

Xia Qingxi had already put away his innocent expression and pulled down his face, "It's okay!" If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, I don't believe he can be so lucky at any time. Father's revenge, this palace must be avenged. ”

The team continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the dragon capital. Hanxin also became more and more cautious, and assigned Chen Yuan and Wu Xu to both sides of Xia Qingxi's carriage to protect them all day.

These days, the assassination has been dialed in, and the cold heart has been tightly deployed, blocking the killers back. But after all, people's energy is limited, and there are still ten days to go, and everyone is a little tired.

After dinner that day, only a scream was heard from the carriage, and the maids panicked.

"Lord Han, the princess is sick, please send a doctor to treat the princess quickly!" Caiyue poked her head out of the carriage and hurriedly shouted.

Because Xia Qingxi was not feeling well, the team stopped.

Coldly turned, the horse's head came to the carriage and took a closer look. I saw that Xia Qingxi's whole person was weak and paralyzed, and his whole body was covered with black spots, itchy and painful.

Chen Yuan summoned the accompanying doctor to treat Xia Qingxi.

After the diagnosis and treatment, the doctor looked solemn. He knelt down and saluted Hanxin: "Lord Hui, the princess seems to have a plague!" ”

Before the words fell, there was a commotion in the queue.

Xia Qingxi suddenly fainted.

The maids who were still serving around Xia Qingxi all got out of the carriage with various excuses.

"Doctor, is there a cure?" Hanxin asked.

The doctor still shook his head weakly, "Lord Hui, the princess's symptoms are very similar to the plague, if it is diagnosed, I am afraid that I will be weak to return to heaven!" ”

Wu Xu saw that Han Xin's expression was unpredictable, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, what should I do next?" The Eastern Jin Dynasty has sent officials to wait thirty miles outside the city of Longdu, if we can't get there on time, what can we do? ”

Hanxin pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Tell me to go down, continue to hurry, let the accompanying doctor continue to treat the princess, if it is not good, rush to Longdu as soon as possible, and you can also find the best imperial medicine to treat the princess with the best medicine." ”

Everyone did the same, not daring to stop at will, and hastened their way.
