314 - piano sound
The carriage squeaked and swayed on the road, Wang Xiaolai yawned, looked back at the carriage behind him, and from inside, there was a slight snoring of the empress.
He lifted the curtain and peeked inside, where the empress was leaning on the carriage, falling asleep softly, and the corners of her lips were rolling down.
"Your Majesty, you slept comfortably, but it hurt me."
muttering in his heart, Wang Xiaolai rubbed his shoulders and shivered to drive the horse away.
Narcissus who was riding a horse on the side paid attention to everything around him, and when he looked at the forest not far ahead, about a mile or so, Narcissus frowned, and suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.
"Stop!"
Waving and shouting, Narcissus squinted at the scene above the forest.
The five hundred feather Lin Jun stopped when they heard the sound, and they all looked back curiously.
Wang Xiaolai also asked what happened to Narcissus.
Narcissus has been in front of the forest: "There is a situation in the forest ahead. โ
Wang Xiaolai stood up and looked in the direction of Narcissus's finger: "Really?" How do I not think? โ
Narcissus snorted, "What can you find?" The murderous atmosphere in the forest is pervasive, and there must be a lot of people hidden in the secret, come on. โ
The two Yu Lin Jun clasped their fists and came up: "Go, take someone to surround the forest in front of you and see what's going on." โ
The two of them took the order, leaving Wang Xiaolai alone to wonder, and looked at Narcissus and said: "Is it so evil as you said, and it is still murderous, why don't you just say that there are people in the forest in front of you." โ
Narcissus scolded, "Shut up. โ
As she spoke, she also shouted, and the more than twenty members of the secret guard who accompanied her were all around Long Yuan.
The movement disturbed the empress, and she got out of the carriage with hysteria, and opened her eyes blankly: "What's wrong?" Have you arrived at Daxing City? โ
Narcissus shook his head: "No Your Majesty, you go in quickly, don't come out." โ
The empress looked at the Yulin army in the brigade in confusion and rushed to the forest in front of her, and hissed: "Narcissus, what happened." โ
Wang Xiaolai grinned on the side and said: "Your Majesty, you say it's ridiculous, Narcissus has to say that there is murderous aura and ambush ahead, why didn't I see it." โ
Narcissus glared at Wang Xiaolai, and just as he was thinking about speaking, there was a sound of breaking the air in the air.
Narcissus didn't say a word, first pushed the empress into the dragon chariot, and then grabbed Wang Xiaolai's neck and collar with one hand to pick him up, and his head slammed to the side, and a dagger with cold light flew down her cheek.
A line of blood slowly appeared on Narcissus's cheek, and then blood beads stretched out.
"Mrs. Hua Nan, it's you!"
Narcissus said this slowly, and looked in the direction where the knife was coming from.
Otherwise, Hua Nan stood up beside the official road, still holding a flying knife in her hand, and smiled: "It's really a narrow road, but I didn't expect that the person my aunt and grandmother wanted to ambush turned out to be Zhao Ningbing's mother-in-law." โ
As Hua Nan's words fell, on both sides of the road, countless black-clothed people rushed out, slashing at the unresponsive Yulin Army, and almost immediately, dozens of Yulin Army fell.
Narcissus gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, form a battle formation to cover Your Majesty's safety." โ
The Yulin Army, who was beaten at the beginning, also reacted at this time, and raised their shields and knives one after another, and together with their companions, they fought against the black-clothed reckless.
Narcissus looked at Hua Nan at this time: "Ye Wuxian, don't say it's just you." โ
After fighting with Hua Nan so many times, Narcissus knows very well in his heart, but wherever there is Hua Nan, Ye Wuxian will definitely not be too far away.
Hearing this, Hua Nan laughed: "Brother Ye naturally has what he has to do, to deal with your secret guards, my aunt and grandmother alone are enough." โ
"Hua Nan, you are looking for death!"
Narcissus raised his eyebrows at that time, shook off the saddle with his feet, stepped on the horse's back, and went straight to Hua Nan.
"Come on, come on, you and I will fight for three hundred rounds!"
Hua Nan shouted, but ran in the opposite direction again.
Seeing this situation, it was clear that there was a trap, how dare Narcissus chase it?
Hesitantly staying in place, Narcissus did not dare to stay half a step away from Long Yuan, and the members of the dark guard stood in front of Long Yuan, forming a second line of defense to protect the empress.
In the carriage, Wang Xiaolai and the empress, who were listening to the deafening sound of fighting outside the car, hugged each other, you look at me, I looked, and the last shout, the two let go of each other at the same time.
For a moment, the scene became a little awkward.
"That... Your Majesty..."
The empress blushed and snorted.
"I seem to have heard the voice of Narcissus calling Hua Nan just now."
The empress also nodded: "I heard it too." โ
"It can't be that madman from Hua Nan who came to assassinate you, right?"
The empress snorted and said: "It's not the first time she has assassinated me, I thought that her Juxian Village would be a lot more peaceful after letting An Nuer serve it, but I didn't expect that the dog still can't change its." โ
"Your Majesty, I'll talk about it for a while, I don't know how many assassins there are outside?"
Empress: "ยทยทยท"
"Your Majesty, why don't we rush back to Echo Valley first, it's too dangerous here." Wang Xiaolai muttered in a low voice.
"One Hua Nan scared you?"
Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I always have a feeling." โ
"What does it feel?"
"It's not just Hua Nan who is ambushing us..."
"Nonsense, I heard so many voices outside, besides, Hua Nan and Ye Wuxian are inseparable, where there is Hua Nan, there must be Ye Wuxian, don't you know this better than me?" Empress Dao.
Who knows, Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I didn't mean this." โ
"And what are you talking about?"
Wang Xiaolai just wanted to speak, but suddenly stopped and sighed: "Your Majesty, listen, what is the sound?" โ
The empress, who just wanted to speak, stopped her mouth, frowned and listened, and a crisp piano sound came from far away, ding dong pleasant.
"This song sounds so uncomfortable?" The empress patted her head and said.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a commotion, and Narcissus got into the carriage directly from the outside, glanced at Wang Xiaolai and the empress who were in a state of confusion, without saying a word, stretched out his hands and grabbed the two of them, directly raised the carriage, and jumped to the ground.
With a loud boom, the dragon chariot that they were still waiting for just now suddenly exploded and turned into a piece of wood dust.
Wang Xiaolai and the empress were stunned.
With a snap, Wang Xiaolai was thrown to the ground, and the empress was helped to stand by Narcissus.
"The Secret Guard listens to the order and protects His Majesty to return to Echo Valley."
Narcissus, whose face was covered with blood, wiped her head and shouted, and the more than 20 dark guards under her who were injured by the sound of the piano immediately surrounded the empress at the core.
As for those Yulin soldiers, because of the sound of the piano just now, nearly half of them died on the spot.
"Yo, Narcissus, this is gone?"
Before he could move here, Hua Nan, who had left earlier, came back, putting his hand to his lips and smiling and mocking.
It's just that while mocking, he looked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, and was taken aback in his heart, saying that the old man who played the piano was so powerful, a broken piano, and killed hundreds of people in an instant.
"That woman is handed over to me, Wang Xiaolai, you take Your Majesty to withdraw, if Your Majesty loses a hair, I will cut you alive."
Narcissus gritted her teeth and whispered, wiped it, tore her clothes and wrapped around the wound, and followed straight to Hua Nan.
"It's not my sister, I don't know how to work hard, how can I protect Your Majesty."
But Narcissus didn't listen to Wang Xiaolai's explanation at all, and left everyone and went.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolai had no choice but to turn back into the circle, grabbed the empress, and said, "Your Majesty, follow me." โ
There were the remaining Yulin Army and Narcissus blocking the pursuers, so Wang Xiaolai and their evacuation were easily done.
He ran in the direction of Echo Valley, but after running a hundred and ten steps, a person slipped silently down from the treetops beside the road.
"Ye didn't want to be an enemy of His Majesty, but he was entrusted with loyalty, so don't blame Ye for being ruthless."
When he said this, Ye Wuxian also stopped in the middle of the road.
Wang Xiaolai said badly.
The empress squinted at Ye Wuxian, suppressed her anger, and said, "Ye Wuxian, I won't die today, and I will punish your nine clans." โ
Ye Wuxian shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Ye is only Hua Nan now." โ
The members of the secret guard who protected the empress all rushed towards Ye Wuxian.
Seeing this, Ye Wuxian shook his arms, held his double knives in his hands, and greeted the rushing secret guard.
The two sides fought at close range, and these secret guards were naturally masters in normal times, but their opponent at this time was Ye Wuxian, who was known as Ye Wuxian who was the first person under the heavenly list.
Not to mention these ordinary members of the Dark Guard, even their leader Narcissus is not Ye Wuxian's opponent, let alone them.
In just a moment's battle, four or five dark guards lost their incense.
These people are all relatives who have been with the empress for two years, watching them die for themselves, how can the empress's mood be complicated and clear.
Wang Xiaolai grabbed the empress: "Your Majesty, let's run." โ
couldn't help but say it, forcibly dragged the empress away.
