Chapter 436 Assassination
"You pack up your things well, and when you're done, you can get on your horse and hurry to the desert, so that you can catch up with me and Changhui Niangniang on the road in an hour. I'm going first, do you understand?! ”
"Yes, obedience!" The generals and soldiers kneeling on the ground of the inn replied loudly and imposingly, they didn't want to throw their lives away in this ancient desert at this time.
Chu Jiechen hurriedly commanded, disdainful and didn't have time to explain anything to everyone, so he rode on the nearest horse and chased in the direction that Qin Liusu left.
Qin Liusu rode very slowly, almost while walking, looking at the surrounding scenery. In fact, she came with Chu Juechen, but just now in the inn, she and Chu Jiechen met a woman---
A woman who is very different from the desert, she is smart and pretty, and even Qin Liusu, as a woman, unconsciously lost her mind when she saw this woman. That's why she saw Chu Juechen looking at her, so she didn't know why, so she directly led a horse and ran out.
Qin Liusu felt the scorching sun shining on her body, because women's clothes were inconvenient, so she came out with the same clothes as Chu Jiechen, they were all men's clothes. Qin Liusu looked at the sun hanging high above his head, and couldn't help but complain about the desert of Beihe Plain......... The heavy silver suit on his body, through the sunlight, seemed to be emitting a hot temperature.
Qin Liusu felt that the farther north he went, the hotter the weather became. Moreover, it was a dry heat, which made her feel stuffy in her chest and a little difficult to breathe. Qin Liusu touched the fine sweat on his head and looked back at the empty place behind him.
This damn Chu Juechen, why hasn't he chased after him yet! It can't be that I really fell in love with the big beauty in that inn, and they are all men! Thinking of this, Qin Liusu frowned, as if he was about to bite a mouthful of silver teeth in his mouth.
In this way, Qin Liusu stuffed his head, rode the horse alone with a sulky breath, and walked forward for a while, he felt dry and thirsty, and gently licked his slightly dry lower lip.
Lisuo picked up the water bag hanging on the horse's head, unscrewed it and poured a mouthful of water, looking at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and squinted slightly.
Looking into the distance, under the reflection of the sun, it seems to be a mirage-like scene. Qin Liusu reflexively raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead, even though she had just drunk a few big mouthfuls of water, Qin Liusu still felt very thirsty.
"Su'er! Su'er! Wait for me! Not far behind him, there were several voices that were familiar to me that could no longer be familiar.
Qin Liusu just regretted that he shouldn't have walked out alone, this kind of weather doesn't seem to be suitable for daytime travel. I heard Chu Juechen calling his name. Hmph, he's finally catching up.
"Su'er, why didn't you wait for me, why did you leave first by yourself?" Chu Juechen panted and caught up with Qin Liusu, looking at the person in front of him with messy hair and dry upper lips, Qin Liusu really couldn't bear to reprimand.
only said lightly: "What?" The girl in purple...... Let's go? Qin Liusu himself didn't know that he was pretending to be so light-hearted, and in Chu Juechen's eyes, he seemed to be a cute appearance of admitting jealousy.
Of course, it was impossible for Chu Juechen to say such words to Qin Liusu, so he was only secretly happy. After all, Su'er of his own family is a thin-skinned master.
"Who? All I know is that Su'er wore a silver one today. Chu Juechen pretended not to understand Qin Liusu's words. Qin Liusu was about to get angry, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Jiechen looking at him with a sly expression.
"I knew that this Chu fox was deliberate, but fortunately he wasn't angry, otherwise wouldn't he fall for his way?!" Qin Liusu grabbed the reins and glared at Chu Jiechen secretly.
Then, "Drive-" clamped the horse's belly with both feet, pulled the reins and continued walking. As soon as Chu Jiechen saw Qin Liusu riding away, he looked around, and there was not even a place to shade the sun around.
It's still hot in the morning, and we can all imagine what it would be like if we really reached the desert border. It can't be the kind that cooks people directly!
Qin Liusu secretly smiled and walked in front, Chu Jiechen saw that Qin Liusu was not angry, and immediately sped up, drove the horse closer, and walked side by side with Qin Liusu.
It is located in a desert area, surrounded by yellow sand, and when the wind and sand rise, the yellow sand splits the sky and can almost submerge several towns. Qin Liusu discussed with Chu Jiechen intermittently on the road, "If it weren't for the city wall guarding, I don't know how many villages around here would be buried." ”
"This second prince of the desert is not easy to be, it seems that the place that Beihe was in charge of is hard enough, Su'er, do you say yes~" Chu Juechen said unkindly to Qin Liusu.
The more Qin Liusu and Chu Juechen walked forward, the more barren they became, and there were almost no villages and people in sight around them. Chu Juechen's attendants who remained in the inn hadn't followed yet.
Qin Liusu and Chu Jiechen rode on their horses together, looking at the loess road in front of them that seemed to have no end in sight, they were a little stunned, and they glanced at each other tacitly.
Chu Juechen looked back again, and there was also a piece of loess behind him, and when the horse passed by just now, a large piece of dust was raised, so that the road behind him could not be seen clearly.
"I don't know if they can keep up without a shadow," Qin Liusu raised his head and said to Chu Jiechen worriedly.
"Su'er, you are our secret guards for nothing, this little thing can't keep up, and it's been in vain for so long with the people around me, don't worry, don't worry, let's go on, they look like they should be there soon." When Chu Jiechen heard that Qin Liusu was worried, he immediately spoke out to reassure him.
"The road to the desert, shouldn't it be this?" Reined in the horses, Qin Liusu stopped in the middle of the road a little dazed. It looks like I'm lost. looked at Chu Juechen suspiciously. Chu Jiechen also raised his eyebrows. However, they themselves should have been moving forward all the way just now, how could they suddenly get lost?
"Da Da, Da Da ......" Suddenly, a sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and it seemed that there were still a few people. Chu Juechen looked back behind him violently, and Qin Liusu also secretly grabbed the reins of his horse.
In the loess in the sky, more than a dozen people and more than a dozen horses were rushing in the direction of themselves and Chu Juechen. Because the dust was so big, I couldn't even see the faces of the group clearly, and I didn't know whether they were friends or foes.
Slowly, the group approached. "Lord, mother."
At this time, Qin Liusu saw his appearance clearly, more than a dozen people, at a glance, all of them were grizzled, "Hehehe......" Qin Liusu couldn't help but laugh.
That's right, even if they are disgraced, Shadowless and his companions stand upright, unsmiling.
"Well, just keep up, I'll find some water later." Chu Jiechen saw that there was no shadow of them, so he said expressionlessly.
With that, the group continued on the road again. Led by Qin Liusu and Chu Juechen, Wuying followed behind, followed by a group of attendants and secret guards.
The group was speechless all the way. But Qin Liusu looked around, it was deserted, and there was no trace of breath. There are only a few rows of cactus trees and jujube forests endemic to the desert.
It was surprisingly quiet, looking up at the sky, he always felt that something was coming, and turned his head to look at Chu Juechen next to him, he was also frowning. It seems that this journey to the desert should not be very boring and boring.
Suddenly, Chu Jiechen stopped riding the horse, and Wuying also grabbed the reins and raised his right hand to signal everyone not to act rashly. Suddenly, a large group of people all stopped next to the jujube forest in the desert. Qin Liusu saw Chu Juechen's serious expression, and as if he had noticed something, he immediately instructed everyone to be on guard.
Shadowless held the sword in his hand tightly, and the other attendants and shadow guards also subconsciously took out the bow and arrow they were carrying behind their backs.
Chu Juechen seemed to casually point to a direction in the jujube forest, and before the attendants' arrows could be shot, they heard a sudden wind in the woods, and the branches of the jujube trees were swaying violently, and the sand and stones were flying.
Even the horse couldn't stop hissing, and the attendants and shadow guards had to quickly put down their bows, and while pulling the reins to control the horse sitting down, they used their other hands to block the flying sand in the sky. A whistle was heard in the haze, and when I opened my eyes again, the forest was calm again.
It was eerily quiet for a while, as silent as before a storm at sea. "Wuying, you protect Su'er!" Chu Juechen rode to Qin Liusu's side and calmly instructed the shadow guards.
The shadow guards guarding behind Chu Juechen, as soon as they heard Chu Juechen's order, they all moved forward one after another, surrounding Qin Liusu, and more than a dozen people surrounded the city in a semicircle, consciously surrounding Qin Liusu and Chu Jiechen in the middle. They all looked around vigilantly, raised their weapons in their hands, and then flashed a cold light under the sun.
Chu Juechen's face seemed to be slightly solemn, but he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and held Qin Liusu's hand tightly. "Su'er, don't leave me half a step later, you know?" Chu Jiechen told Qin Liusu, as if he had forgotten that Qin Liusu could also do martial arts.
Qin Liusu looked at Chu Juechen holding his hand tightly, what inn and what purple-clothed woman, all of them were nothing at this time, they were all left behind by Qin Liusu, and he only looked at Chu Juechen nervously, for fear that something would happen to him.
Immediately, as if he felt Chu Juechen's uneasiness, he gently squeezed his hand, and when he saw Chu Juechen looking over, he smiled with a smile.
Suddenly, a large number of people rushed out of the Suojube forest, looking at the clothes and equipment did not look like people from the Central Plains of Qi Kingdom, and the scimitar mink fur and hairstyle looked like people from the desert on the other side of Beihe Yuan.
This time, Chu Juechen, Qin Liusu and others went to the desert for the big wedding in Beiheyuan, and it shouldn't be possible that they sent someone over, so you don't have to think about it......
Those centaurs, it is naturally no problem to take down others, but this Chu Juechen is no one else, looking at the past coldly, the group of leaders who secretly turned pale with fright, but because of their face and mission, they couldn't shout, "Kill, brothers!" ”
Seeing that they rushed directly towards Wuying, Chu Juechen's eyes turned slightly, but he couldn't let go of Qin Liusu, fortunately, Wuying was not a vegetarian for decades under Chu Juechen's training, I saw that Wuying's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the sword in his hand suddenly swung up, and attacked a few guards in front of him by pretending, and when those guards retreated slightly, they quickly dodged, flashed straight in front of the leader of this group of people, and then quickly detained it in his arms.
The men were stunned by the sudden change. Shadowless said angrily, "If you don't want him to die, let those people retreat." Shadowless's hand was tightly clasped around the neck of the person in his arms, and there was no merciless killing intent in his voice.
"No shadow, let him go, no one here will be left." Chu Jiechen looked at this group of minions and said in a secret voice, "Wait, go somewhere else to kill, I'm afraid that Su'er will have a shadow when he sees it." ”
"Yes. Subordinates obey! As soon as Wuying heard the master's order, he and the others immediately led the assassin to the outside of the Suojube Forest.
There were a few unwilling people, as soon as they heard this, they immediately took their swords and went straight to Qin Liusu's face, and before Qin Liusu could make a move, Chu Jiechen slapped and exhaled, and the person was ten meters away, and he didn't move after a few moves.
There was a fight outside the forest, shouting and shouting, swords and swords, inside the forest, Chu Jiechen hugged Qin Liusu and leaned her in his arms, looking outside lightly.
One of the people on the other side saw that Chu Jiechen and Qin Liusu were alone, so he desperately raised his knife and slashed towards this side.
When Wuying saw this, he was frightened into a cold sweat, but he was stopped by a few at this moment, and he couldn't get out, so he had to shout "Lord, little ......" Before he finished shouting, he saw the scolding man holding a knife kneeling on the ground.
Looking at Chu Juechen's eyes as if he was looking at a dead man, he shivered secretly without a shadow, fortunately, fortunately. Then he raised his sword and stabbed the assassin hard.
In less than half an hour, the shouting outside gradually weakened, and after about half an hour, the sound was gone.
Shadowless knelt in front of Chu Juechen with a sword in his blood and said, "Lord, all the assassins have been annihilated, none of them have escaped, and none of them have survived. Only a few of the men and horses on his side were stabbed, and they were fine. ”
"Well, good job, let's go down." Chu Juechen nodded and said. Seeing that Qin Liusu had been lying in his arms, he helped her up, "It's okay, Su'er......" Chu Jiechen was very helpless at the moment, but he gently patted Qin Liusu's face dotingly, "Wake up, Su'er, wake up......
Seeing Qin Liusu sleeping unguarded in his own arms at the moment, Chu Jiechen was angry and funny.
Su'er still believes in herself so much, but fortunately, she has the ability to live up to her belief. Bowing his head and smiling bitterly, he pulled the reins, and walked forward slowly, letting Wuying lead the horse that Qin Liusu had ridden.
The group continued to walk towards the edge of the desert as if nothing had happened just now.
