Chapter 35: Escape

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on the caped man's shoulder. The man in the cloak grabbed the pigeon and removed a small roll of paper from its leg.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang hurriedly turned around and escorted Zhuang Xiaomeng away.

The cloaked man ignored them, unfolding the scroll to look at it.

Zhang Bo and Zhuang Xiaomeng walked briskly for a while, and suddenly found that the man in the cloak was already standing in front of them at some point.

"I received the message that the matter is over!" said the man in the cape.

As soon as the words fell, the sword flashed in the night, and a sharp sword had pierced into Uncle Zhang's chest.

"Miss, go quickly!" Zhang Bo cried out in pain, and his body slowly collapsed.

The cloaked man drew his sword, blood spurting from Uncle Zhang's chest.

"Uncle Zhang!" Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at Uncle Zhang who fell to the ground in pain and cried bitterly.

The man in the cloak held the sword in his right hand, walked towards Zhuang Xiaomeng, and suddenly made a move, and a bright light pierced her chest.

"Scum!" suddenly came a roar, and a bright light slashed at the cloaked man.

The man in the cloak hurriedly withdrew his sword and flew back two feet to avoid the sword.

Zhuang Hao landed beside Zhuang Xiaomeng, looked at Uncle Zhang on the ground, and then glared at the man in the cloak and said, "You deceived me into doing unrighteous deeds, ruining my chivalrous reputation, and trying to kill my family, it is extremely shameless!"

"You still have the face to live?" said the man in the cloak with a sneer, "With Zhuang Daxia's personality, if things don't work out, shouldn't he commit suicide and apologize?

"Dad, your hand ......" Zhuang Xiaomeng said in surprise when he saw Zhuang Hao's broken left arm.

"I'll keep this life to settle accounts with you!" Zhuang Hao said, flying up and slashing at the cloaked man.

The man in the cloak flew back a few meters again, dodging the knife cut by Zhuang Hao, and when he fell to the ground, he was already covered with a pair of black battle armor.

"After tonight, there will be no more Fengyun knives on the rivers and lakes!" said the man in the cloak. Then he flew up, dancing mottled sword shadows in the air, and the sword qi flew towards Zhuang Hao like a white snake.

Zhuang Hao protected his daughter behind him, slashed out with all his might, and shouted: "Wind and clouds slash!"

The dazzling sword light spread out, catching up with the sword qi. The sword light and sword qi collided, and a roar was released. The sword light cut through countless sword qi quilts and continued to strike at the cloaked man. The man in the cloak had no way to avoid it, so he could only resist with his sword, and with a "bang", the sword light cut off the sword and slashed it in his chest. The man in the cloak was repelled several feet, and after landing on the ground, he took several steps back before he stabilized his figure.

If it weren't for the armor protection, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot.

Although the sword qi cut off countless sword qi, there were still three wisps of sword qi flying over and shooting directly at Zhuang Hao's body. The daughter stood behind him, Zhuang Hao could only resist with a knife, but only blocked two of them, and the other wisp of sword qi passed through Zhuang Hao's right shoulder.

A sharp pain came, the strength of his right arm was lost, and the Fengyun knife fell to the ground.

"Fengyun Slash needs to hold a knife in both hands to exert maximum power, but unfortunately you have already cut off one of your arms. The man in the cloak slowly walked towards Zhuang Hao and said, "Otherwise, even if I am wearing battle armor, I will not be able to resist your sword qi." Now your right arm has been abolished by me, so die obediently!"

"Even if you die here today, I won't let you go!" Zhuang Hao said as he looked at the man in the cloak.

"Then go and be a ghost!" said the man in the cloak coldly, stabbing at Zhuang Hao with his sword.

Zhuang Hao turned to look at Zhuang Xiaomeng, he wanted to see his daughter for the last time.

Suddenly, there was the sound of swords clashing from behind. Zhuang Hao looked back and saw that a man in black armor was fighting with the man in a cloak.

"Let's go!" the man said as he greeted the man in the battle tent.

Zhuang Hao no longer hesitated, and ran with Zhuang Xiaomeng immediately, and soon disappeared into the night.

The man in the cloak saw Zhuang Hao's father and daughter fleeing and wanted to chase him, but the man in black armor in front of him was pressing and couldn't get out at all.

This man in black is the prince's disciple Wu Wei, who came to investigate Zhuang Hao's assassination of the six princes on the order of the prince.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, but it was still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. The man in the cloak wanted to chase Zhuang Hao's father and daughter, but he couldn't pull away, and Wu Wei wanted to break the cloak to see the true face of this person, but he never found a chance.

Wu Wei had no intention of fighting again, and after forcing the other party away with a knife, he flew away.

The East Palace of the Imperial City.

Wu Wei bowed down to the prince and said, "The subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to verify the identity of the other party. ”

The prince waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as Zhuang Hao's father and daughter don't die, it will be beneficial to us!

Wu Wei retired in arrears.

After Wu Wei left, Yuan Tang walked out from behind the screen and said, "Although Zhuang Hao has escaped, he may be wiped out at any time." ”

"Find him, hide him in the outer house, and I will see who dares to touch him!" said the prince angrily.

The children of the royal family generally lived in the imperial city, but there were also residences outside the imperial city, called the outer house.

"Absolutely not!" Yuan Tang hurriedly said, "Zhuang Hao is now a suspect in the assassination of the Six Princes, His Royal Highness must not have anything to do with it!"

"Wouldn't it be better for him to tell the employer behind him?" said the prince.

The problem is that Zhuang Hao may not know who the real employer is. Yuan Tang said, "Since the people who contacted him wore cloaks throughout, it means that they were deliberately concealing their identities." ”

"Then what should I do?" the prince was a little anxious, "If Zhuang Hao is killed, things will be even more troublesome!"

"In this situation, unless he hides in the mountains and does not come out, or leaves Huaguo. Yuan Tang said, "The crown princess is the princess of Dongfang Liguo, it is better to find Zhuang Hao and guide him to Liguo by himself." When he arrived in Liguo, the crown princess could naturally find someone to protect him. ”

"That's it, we need to find him as soon as possible!" said the prince.

Zhuang Hao and his daughter rode a horse and galloped all the way west.

"Dad, where are we going?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked.

"Huaguo can't stay any longer, we have to get out of here!" Zhuang Hao said, "I heard that there are many rare and exotic herbs in the wilderness beyond the barrier, maybe we can find dragon ginseng there." ”

"What is the enchantment?" Zhuang Xiaomeng had never heard of this thing.

"In order to avoid wars between races, the creator god used enchantments to separate the human race from the other races. Zhuang Hao said, "Between the enchantments of the various races is a wild land, and we can only go there to try our luck." ”

Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't say anything more, but there were tears in his eyes. As soon as she was born, her mother died. She has been frail and sick since she was a child, and her father traveled all over China in order to treat her, but he has never been cured, and he can't even find out what disease she has.

Later, I met a master of the Medical Sect, checked her situation and said that this is a disease and a fate, and this disease is called "Eighteen Flower Tribulations" in the secret scroll of the Medical Sect. The Grandmaster of the Medical Sect told Zhuang Hao that all girls who get this disease are frail and sickly since childhood, and generally do not live to be eighteen years old. Most people who have had this disease in history have died before the age of eighteen, and only one girl has been cured. This girl was a princess of Huaguo hundreds of years ago, because she took the dragon ginseng given to the emperor by Dongfang Liguo, and was cured of this disease.

This dragon ginseng is a unique medicinal material in Liguo, and only one is produced in a hundred years. Five years ago, the prince of Huaguo married the princess of Liguo, and among the gifts sent by Liguo was a dragon ginseng.

A few days ago, the man in the cloak approached Zhuang Hao with a token and said that he was sent by the crown prince. The man in the cloak said that as long as Zhuang Hao could assassinate someone, the prince would be able to give him dragon ginseng.

Zhuang Hao was eager to save the woman, so he was used by the man in the cloak.
