"Your Highness, be careful!"

In the darkness, an urgent voice broke the silence of the night, accompanied by the sound of the sword whistling, Mu Yutao suddenly turned around, and suddenly pushed a woman in red behind him, with a sound of "ding", blocking the murderous and wanton cold knife, the neat future person kicked aside, and before he could rest for a moment, a white light crossed the corner of his eyes, Mu Yutao stepped back sideways, and the whirling long sword instantly pierced the chest of the comer, and the body that fell down shook the dust.

One after another lit torches lit up the camp, Mu Yutao protected the girls behind him, while scanning the situation in the field, only to see dozens of black-clothed people silently falling from the sky, they had a clear division of labor, full preparation, more than a dozen masters concentrated on the other party Mu Yutao, single-mindedly wanted to kill the woman in red behind him, and the rest of the people used *, poisonous powder, and thunder to try their best to prevent the rescue of their own soldiers, causing the soldiers to fall under the impact of the explosion one by one. It is difficult to support Mu Yutao and the three of them in a short period of time.

The situation was urgent, and Mu Yutao made a quick decision, taking the woman in red and one of her maids to step through the torn tent and quickly retreat.

In the shadow of the sword and sword, the hot liquid was scattered in the dark night, feeling the temperature but not seeing the black blood, in the chaos, the woman in red had been firmly following behind Mu Yutao, trying not to bring the slightest inconvenience to the general in front of her, her face frowned, and her blood was completely gone, not at all like her naughty appearance that disturbed Mu Yutao at every turn a few days ago.

Mu Yutao fought and retreated, the long sword in his hand was cast into an intact city wall, blocking all those who wanted to break through in front of him, the other party was unconsciously taken by his calmness, and the shot became more and more cautious, and before he knew it, the group had moved dozens of meters to the east.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded from above everyone, the man in black moved, and then the offensive became more and more fierce, Mu Yutao secretly scolded "bad", I saw that he suddenly stretched out his left arm, and he couldn't see how to move, and he had already lifted a black-clothed assassin in front of him, and before the person could react, Mu Yutao smashed him hard at the other black-clothed people, and took advantage of the gap when they subconsciously dodged, turned around and pulled the two to run east.

"Let's go, there's a cave over there, get in!" Before they finished speaking, the three of them had seen a small shadow in the middle of the mountain, which seemed to be a depression, black and blended with the night, if it wasn't for Mu Yutao's knowledge in advance that it was a cave, no one would have noticed that there was such a hiding place on the east side of the camp.

The entrance of the cave was extremely narrow, only allowing one person to enter and exit, Mu Yutao pushed the two into the cave, and one stayed outside the cave, wrestling with the man in black.

There was no light in the cave, and the two of them huddled in the corner, silently watching the shadow of the sword on the ground.

"Ahh Your Highness, you see. In the darkness, the maid spread her fingers and stared at her left hand in the direction of the cave.

The woman in red was stunned for a moment, only to realize that her right hand was a little sticky, and without thinking about it, she knew that it was blood, Mu Yutao's blood.

Yaoyao asked tentatively, "He's already injured, should we go out?" ”

Princess Luoxi shook her head lightly and said softly, "Wait. Come on, Qin Luohe, they should be coming over soon. Having said that, she unconsciously moved towards the entrance of the cave with Yaoyao.

The sound of the blades meeting covered the brief conversation between the two, but could not cover the second whistle, Mu Yutao's original calm and calm was originally pretending to delay time, and when he heard the whistle again, he was already at the end of the crossbow, and the vain increased pressure made him tired, although he heard the sound of the wind behind him, he was unable to dodge, he was pulled from the back, his feet were soft, and he fell to the ground face up, only to see a red figure pounce up, and pressed heavily on Mu Yutao's body.

"Your Highness!!"

That was the first time he looked at Luo Xi's face carefully and seriously, Luo Xi's eyes, because of the surprise of his identity on weekdays, even if Luo Xi came to invite him, he also lowered his head and missed the sight, and now he knew that Luo Xi's eyes were like ice and snow, as if he was in a cold winter, cold and scary, but there were a little tears in the light of those eyes, accompanied by distorted cheeks, Mu Yutao heard her roar in a dumb voice, "It really hurts!" ”

In the past two days, Chengxian County was filled with tension, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, the market vendors deliberately suppressed the sound of selling, and even the cats and dogs on the street felt an unusual solemnity, bowing their heads and wilting in the shade, under the scorching sun, only the soldiers standing guard at the post house still maintained their looks, but there was a strong uneasiness and tension in this look.

It's been two days since she arrived in Chengxian County, Princess Luoxi has been in a coma for three days, Jingjing next to the princess is a master of medical skills, and she has been taking care of the princess since the princess was injured by an arrow, at the time of the incident, because Mu Yutao was called by Princess Luoxi to ask about the customs of Chu State, so he and Yaoyao were with the princess, Zhen Zhen was not under Mu Yutao, and protected her twin sister all the way until Qin Luohe arrived, as for Yan Yan, who grew up with the princess, he was assassinated in this disaster.

General Qin, as the princess's Yan State sending off general, is responsible for protecting the princess along the way, and now the team has encountered such a major event as soon as it enters the territory of Chu State, and his anger has nowhere to vent, so he has to constantly strengthen his defense, patrol around, and even ask to return to China with great fanfare, which makes the people in the county panic.

"Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, she has never suffered any grievances since she was a child, she was injured by an arrow when she first arrived in Chu State, and her personal maid was killed to protect the master, does the King of Chu think that our Yan Kingdom is easy to bully?"

Mu Yutao has heard the same sentence more than a hundred times in the past three days, plus he is unwell, he is really a little annoyed, he glanced back without a trace, and his deputy general came out of the crowd, "General Qin, please calm your anger, the border land, the situation is complicated, and there are many mountain bandits, which makes the princess frightened."

"Frightened? How can the word frightened encompass the princess's suffering like this! Mountain bandits are also mountain bandits in the Chu State, not to mention, are there any mountain bandits who don't want money to kill people? Obviously, someone wants to harm the princess, does King Chu want to forget it? ”

"We have handed over all the captured mountain bandits to Chengxian County to deal with, and the imperial court will also send additional personnel to assist in this matter, I believe that we will give Yan Guo a satisfactory answer, and the top priority is when the princess will wake up and return to Chu City."

"Hmph" was all these words, Qin Luohe had long been dissatisfied, but he was helpless, snorted coldly, and walked away.

After he left, the deputy general exhaled deeply and said, "That mountain bandit is indeed a suspicious point, set fire and poison, and they are all concentrated around the main camp, if it weren't for General Qin and Zhen Zhen arriving in time, I'm afraid it would be really fierce."

Those black-clothed people are strong in martial arts, and they hid in the trees early in the morning to avoid the inspection of the welcoming team, and they didn't suddenly come out until the middle of the night, catching them off guard, and there were many of them, all of them were well-trained, and even Mu Yutao was difficult to parry, fortunately, there was a Jingjing around Luoxi who was good at potion, and the smoke released cracked the opponent's poisonous powder, and fortunately, there was also a Zhen Zhen, who picked up the steel knife that cut at the princess at the last moment.

Mu Yutao said, "Moreover, those men in black all committed suicide after being arrested, and they didn't leave a living mouth at all, this style of acting should be a professional assassin organization, there are not many organizations with such capabilities, and you will definitely be able to find out if you check it carefully." ”

Zeng Zhou nodded, a little hesitant in his words, and asked, "Assassins are easy to say, but they are also employed, so the employer ...... Our whereabouts are a secret, you see...... Who did it? Although it was a doubt, there was no doubt on his face, the two were both children of the family, and they had been friends for many years, and the deputy general obviously knew the truth about the Mu family.

Mu Yutao said, "But that arrow was clearly aimed at me, not like ...... What he did, maybe other countries were dissatisfied with Chu Yan's marriage and secretly sabotage, this matter is handed over to you to investigate, and you must find out, but pay attention, be careful in everything. ”

"There is one more thing" Mu Yu Tao pondered the sentence, "When Princess Luoxi was hit by the arrow, I was on the side, the arrow was shot into the princess's shoulder blade, it was not deep, and the arrow was non-poisonous, it stands to reason that there is no need to be in a coma for so long, I think this thing is a little strange, you should also pay attention to it." ”

Zeng Zhou was a little puzzled, but still replied, "Well, I know." ”
