Chapter 20: Assassination on the way

Out of the imperial city, Chu Yuan got down from the carriage, led his imperial horse, turned over and jumped on, and galloped forward. It seems that as long as you leave the person's sight, you can vent your dissatisfaction wantonly, and let that hidden emotion be full of violent catharsis.

Because of Chu Yuan's leadership, this group of people can be said to be in a non-stop hurry, and in the evening, they had already left the town on the border of the imperial city, and the group rested by the woods outside the town.

The bonfire had already been lit, and the maidservants who accompanied him also boiled hot water and made tea for Chu Yuan. Lin An served closely, setting up the meal on the small table in front of Chu Yuan, and quietly clothed the dishes.

In this wilderness, the sky is dotted with stars, sit on the ground and eat a simple and exquisite dinner, relax your mood, and your mood will be broadened. After dinner, Chu Yuan came to a stream and stood there, looking at the crisp sound of the gurgling water, and sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, are you going to sleep here tonight?" Lin An stepped forward to inquire after a while, the Royal Forest Army had already led people to thoroughly investigate the surrounding environment, and it was safe and quiet.

"It's still early, keep going." Chu Yuan made a decision, Lin An answered the order and hurriedly went down, and when he was moving forward, Lin An wanted to persuade Chu Yuan to take the carriage, but when he saw Chu Yuan directly taking the reins of the horse, he didn't dare to answer.

They could all see that the emperor was in a bad mood, and he didn't fully recover on horseback this day. Lin An looked at each other with several ministers who accompanied him with some distress, and all he got was a puzzled shake of his head, too, Lin An followed closely and didn't understand why the emperor was unhappy, and they didn't know why.

It was just when Lin An sighed bitterly and rode after Chu Yuan that he suddenly remembered what happened that night. That night, they brought back the unconscious Lord Su, who did not know the true identity of Lord Su at the time, and the emperor was angry that Lord Su deceived him, as if he had given Lord Su a "profound" punishment.

And now, the little Wenchen Su Ziche will be the supreme king of the next country, this matter is a bit oolong, and the consequences are a little serious.

"Oh my God! This, this...... The emperor actually put the next king on the bed, what should I do......" Lin An had a headache, and he also understood that his emperor was also having a headache, and it seemed that the friendship between the two kings seemed to be over.

Lin An instantly realized Chu Yuan's mood, the emperor really had a sincere heart for Lord Su before, but now that this matter is troublesome, there must be no way to end it perfectly. Lin An sighed bitterly, and shuddered a little, if something like that happened, King Yi would definitely not be able to accept it, and he would not be able to attack Chu Yuan, so they who were involved in this matter, I don't know if they will suddenly be killed one day.

Lin An was very sad, and when he looked up again, he found that he had walked in a mountainous and wooded area, with high mounds on both sides and dense trees, and it was pitch black at night, and it was so deep that it seemed to be able to drown people in it.

Lin An couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, but at this moment, a strange sound came from the woods on both sides, and when Lin An noticed it, many figures flew out of the woods on both sides, stabbing at them with swords.

"Escort, escort ......" Lin An blurted out, at this time he was a little away from Chu Yuan, and when he looked forward, he found that the two groups of people in front of him were already fighting together. The sound of swords and halberds colliding, Lin An's heart almost stopped, he waved the reins of his horse with trembling hands, and ran in the direction of Chu Yuan in a panic.

When Lin An was about to approach Chu Yuan, he was confronted by a man in black, and Lin An had no power to resist, so he could only struggle to hide to the side. The sword didn't stab Lin An, but it slashed the horse, the horse screamed in pain, and Lin An was thrown to the ground.

Without waiting for Lin An to come back to his senses, the horse actually rushed forward directly, and there was a scuffle in front of him, Chu Yuan was in the middle of the battlefield, raising his sword and fighting with a man in black with strong martial arts. Chu Yuan was engaged in the battle, when the frightened horse rushed over, Chu Yuan couldn't dodge, kicked the stone next to him to borrow strength, jumped over his body, just sat on the back of the frightened horse, pulled the reins hard, and after a few frightened horses, he finally calmed down.

This series of movements was coherent and fast, but during this period, the man in black was given an opportunity, and when he raised his sword and stabbed Chu Yuan from behind, a secret guard withdrew in time, and a dart changed the direction of the sword, but it still slashed diagonally from Chu Yuan's back.

"Your Majesty ......" Lu Qinuo was worried, roared angrily, stepped over with light skills, and directly killed the man in black who wanted to attack Chu Yuan again.

Lu Qinuo killed this person, and the rest of the secret guards were even more ruthless, which could be described as a move, and the people who came to sneak attack obviously didn't expect Chu Yuan to still have a hidden secret guard, and now they were already at a disadvantage, so they could only withdraw unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Lu Qinuo stepped forward and saw that Chu Yuan was slashing the person who wanted to evacuate under the sword.

"Don't let anyone go!" Chu Yuan spoke, his voice was cold and murderous, and his eyes flashed with anger and a cold light full of killing.

Everyone carried out the order, but a few people still fled, and these people who came to sneak attack were all excellent in martial arts, and it seemed that they were all famous killers in the rivers and lakes. Hearing such a return, Chu Yuan was silent, and after a while, he said gloomily: "Go to the front inn and rectify it for the time being." ”
