Chapter 4: The Assassins of the Woods
After this time, everyone was a lot more polite to Yan Lun!
He saved everyone's lives just now, and at the same time, he also taught them a lesson, even if they are royal guards, but the magic is high, and they still have to pay the price for underestimating the sinister rivers and lakes.
Back in the carriage, Princess Xixia couldn't hold it back for a while, stared at her big eyes, patted her half-towering chest and said:
"Thanks to you for saving us all this time! But... How do you see such an insidious trap? โ
Xuan Bing next to him looked at Yan Lun and seemed to be a lot more pleasing to the eye.
What can Yan Lun say? You can't say I have special abilities, right?
"I was just alert all the way, and I felt that something was wrong from the incident on the official road before, and then there was no one on the path, so I had a guess."
It's okay to deceive a fool with these words, but the two women in front of them really don't believe it.
You can be wary, but how do you know that this trap ambush is coming from the ground? Or even so accurate that the ground collapsed just after exiting?
However, the two daughters are not people with particularly low emotional intelligence, so they didn't go over to ask, and Princess Xixia said:
"I saw that you were closing your eyes all the way to recuperate, but I didn't expect you to always be vigilant, no wonder God of War Valley specially asked you to come this time."
The topic started talking, and Yan Lun began to relax when he spoke.
"Actually, I've slept a lot along the way, and it's really comfortable in this carriage, even more comfortable than the bed I slept in the sect."
As he spoke, Yan Lun half-leaned on the cushion, his hands behind his head, looking very casual.
Xuan Bing glared at him, and the goodwill on his face disappeared again.
What a faux pas! How could this person speak to Her Royal Highness the Princess in such a gesture?
But Princess Xixia didn't care at all, but started chatting with Yan Lun:
"What's your weapon? Why didn't I see it? โ
"I heard that the Valley of the God of War is famous for its physical cultivation, so what kind of exercises are you practicing?"
"What level are you now? How old is this year? โ
ยทยทยท
I don't know, but after this chat, Yan Lun was surprised to find that this beautiful pearl of the Qinxiang Empire, the dignified Princess Xixia, was so gossipy and very talkative.
As soon as her conversation box was opened, she couldn't hold it back, Yan Lun suddenly regretted talking to her with such a casual attitude at the beginning, but she didn't expect this golden branch and jade leaf to be so down-to-earth!
Soon, the two had nothing to talk about.
But it's not that the relationship is so close that there is nothing to talk about, but Yan Lun really doesn't know what to say, this princess is a curious baby completely.
But from the conversation, Yan Lun also heard that Princess Xixia has hardly been out of the palace since she was a child, and she has never experienced ordinary life, and the people around her are respectful to him, everyone who can chat.
This can be seen from Xuan Bing in front of him, Xuan Bing must be with her often in the palace, the two are of the same age, but they don't see any sisterhood at all.
Because Xuan Bing was too polite and respectful to her, Princess Xixia still has no one to talk to.
In the next three days, the two became very familiar with each other, Yan Lun had been extremely experienced, and when he talked to her, he could hear that her eyes were full of stars, and even Xuan Bing on the side was surprised by some of his whimsical words.
In the end, Princess Sunset sighed and said:
"Hey... It's a pity that my father wants to marry me to the Pasha Empire, if I still stay in the palace, I will definitely let my father recruit you as my bodyguard, so that I can chat with you every day..."
Yan Lunxin said that it's okay, I'm not your guard...
It may be that the princess also felt that Yan Lun was really tired of what she said, so she asked:
"Are you thirsty? I'll have some water come in. โ
After saying that, he lifted the curtains and asked the guards outside to bring in two jugs of water.
As soon as she lifted the curtain, Yan Lun immediately had a very uneasy feeling!
"No!"
As he spoke, he reached out and knocked the princess down! At the same time, she scolded herself for being careless, how could she let her lift the curtains?
Then, a loud sound came to his ears, and then there was the sound of metal crashing!
Yan Lun's eyes saw that Ao San had already appeared in the carriage, holding a long sword in his hand, and a pitch-black arrow feather fell from the ground, which should have just been shot when Princess Xixia opened the curtain, and was knocked to the ground by Ao San.
This is not good!
The goal is so obvious, it's straight for the princess! This time it's definitely not a bandit, I'm afraid it's an assassin of the Bishan Empire!
Xuan Bing obviously thought of this as well, and said:
"Don't go out, you must stay with the princess, and Lord Ao will deal with the affairs outside!"
I don't know when, Yan Lun can already make her trust and even entrust.
But then there was no movement, and the people outside were still on alert.
At times like these, the quieter it is, the more dangerous it is!
Suddenly, there were several loud noises, followed by two muffled snorts! And then there's the sound of people falling to the ground.
Oops! Someone got an arrow!
Then came the sound of horses screaming and falling to the ground.
Yan Lun narrowed his eyes and scanned his surroundings! I suddenly felt that it was a big trouble...
There were at least forty archers hidden within a hundred feet of the surrounding area!
He hugged Princess Sunset in his arms, and the strength was so great that he almost brought Xuan Bing over, Xuan Bing glared at him and then patted the seat under him, and suddenly a dark compartment opened.
Then she took out two silver shields from them, handed them to Yan Lun, and said:
"This carriage is made of Jinchuan wood, ordinary arrows and feathers can't shoot through, you and I seal the windows on both sides, and the carriage is safe!"
Yan Lun had no choice but to take a shield and block the window, followed by the sound of "clanging".
The sound was particularly dense, and there was also a sound of killing from the depths of the woods, it should be Ao San who led people into the jungle.
In the face of the many archers who were hidden, they did not dare to stand here and become a live target, Ao San obviously knew that the carriage was very strong and would not be broken in a short time, so it was better to rush into the forest and turn the situation around as soon as possible.
At this time, Xuan Bing's face began to show a look of difficulty, and the hand holding the shield began to tremble a little.
Because the arrows were so powerful, she not only had to rely on the strength of her shield to resist the sharpness of the arrows, but also had to withstand this huge impact!
Those who cast arrows are all martial arts cultivators with good strength, and Xuan Bing alone keeps resisting the attacks of dozens of people whose strength is not weak, or even not below her at all, and it is only a matter of time before she can't support it!
Yan Lun saw him biting his lip, his face was already slightly pale, and sweat was dripping down his goose-egg cheeks.
Princess Sunset wants to come forward to help, but how can she help?
"Give it to me!"
Yan Lun shouted! Then without asking Xuan Bing's opinion, he directly reached out and took her shield and drove her aside.
Then, Yan Lun half-squatted in the middle of the carriage, his left and right hands outstretched, each holding a shield, and he was in charge!
Yan Lun's strength is strong, how can his physical strength be comparable to Xuan Bing?
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The sound of the impact from the shield was getting louder and louder, but Yan Lun was still as steady as Mount Tai! Stand still!
Princess Xixia and Xuan Bing looked at the resolute expression of the young man in front of them, as well as the strong muscles of their arms, and a sense of leisurely and security.
Now they understand what a disciple of the Overlord Sect is, and what an excellent disciple of the God of War Valley is.
At this stalemate, Yan Lun's expression changed, and his expression naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the two girls in front of him.
"What's going on?"
Yan Lun's gaze looked in one direction.
"A couple of people are rushing this way, not our people."
Xuan Bing and Princess Xixia followed Yan Lun's gaze, but this was in the car, and the two of them couldn't see anything and couldn't feel anything, they actually forgot about the danger for a while, and were full of curiosity.
"How do you know? Can you see through this carriage? โ
Princess Sunset said with a question mark in her eyes.
Yan Lun just wanted to scold...
A woman's curiosity is really unreasonable, and she still has the heart to ask this at this time?
Yan Lun glanced around, and said to Xuan Bing Zhengse:
"The assassins in this direction have been killed by our people, so it's safe for the time being, and you can take the shield to protect the princess and leave quickly in this direction! I'll hold these people and go to you! โ
Xuan Bing shook his head and said:
"No! Lord Ao, they must have a way to organize this group of people! He is a martial artist-level powerhouse, and it will be no problem for us to hold on for a while and a half! โ
Yan Lun almost wanted to play her head at this time! yelled:
"Wait for a fart! The fact that someone can rush towards us already shows that Ao San and they are powerless to take care of us! If you don't leave, do you want to put the princess in danger? โ
Princess Sunset grabbed Yan Lun's arm! Rush Color:
"Are you sure you can resist it? How do you make sure you find us at night? โ
Yan Lun smiled confidently.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll find you!"
