"Big brother! It's the red horse. One of Qin Han's subordinates pointed to the Huoyun Horse not far away and shouted.

Qin Han looked at where he was pointing, the Huoyun Horse was swimming from the water to the shore, the hot body of the horse broke through the water, and a mist rose from the water surface. Qin Han didn't want Huoyunju, but Li Muya, he didn't rush to give any orders, and continued to observe the situation on the water near Huoyunju intently.

"Could it be under the horse?" said one of his men.

Qin Han still ignored them.

"It could be that they swam underwater in the opposite direction. Another subordinate guessed.

This reminded Qin Han - it is a little strange that Li Xiaohu and Li Muya have not surfaced after falling into the water for so long, there must be demons when things go wrong, they are likely to plot in the water, use Huoyunju to attract the attention of themselves and others, and take advantage of themselves to chase Huoyunju, and the two of them went ashore on the other side and escaped.

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense, so I ordered: "Xiao Cheng, rat, you two continue to keep an eye on the horse from a high place, and the rest follow me to the left." ”

Qin Han searched along the shore of the lake on the left side for a while, but found nothing. As far as the eye could see, there was not even a ripple drawn by a fish. The subordinate who proposed to "sound the east and attack the west" also slowed down and hung at the back of the team at some point.

"Hmph!" Qin Han turned his horse's head, "We were fooled." ”

One of his subordinates behind him seemed to have already put the words in his mouth, and spit it out at this moment: "Those two thieves are really cunning, and they must have hid under the horses when they played a game of 'dark under the lights' with us." ”

When they hurried back to the high slope, they saw that the Fire Cloud Pony had come ashore, but it did not run away, but still lingered on the shore, as if waiting for its owner to come ashore.

"Do you see the target?" Qin Han asked the two subordinates who stayed behind as soon as he came up.

"The horse had come ashore early in the morning, but had not found any trace of the two men. ”

"How is it possible?" Qin Han was also blindsided.

"They won't drown in the lake, will they?" guessed the man who said "It's dark under the lights."

Qin Han glared at him fiercely, and he obediently closed his mouth. At this point, the murderous killers all stood silently on the shore, looking at the mist rising on the surface of the lake, which seemed to be a cloud of suspicion hanging over their heads.

After a while, Qin Han said to the subordinate who said, "It's dark under the light": "Why don't you go to the bottom of the lake to investigate?" Although it was a question, the tone was unquestionable.

The subordinate smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, big brother." ”

Not long after he entered the water, a signal flare exploded over the distant hill. This was discussed by Qin Han and the others before they acted, and when they saw the signal flare, it showed that things had changed and they should retreat immediately. The subordinate who was sent to the lake to investigate also heard a muffled sound in the water, he looked up and saw the signal flare in the sky in the distance through the swaying water waves, and he understood that something was wrong, so he quickly surfaced and shouted to Qin Han: "Big brother, there is no hair under the water!"

Qin Han was extremely angry in his heart, this cub was only in the water for two breaths, and he was afraid that he couldn't even see the bottom of the lake clearly, but he couldn't help it, the moment he saw the signal flare, he understood that his mission had failed, and if he didn't retreat, he could only wait for death. He was sure that Li Xiaohu and Li Muya were not dead, but they escaped through some unknown means.

"Go!" he did not wait for the man to come ashore, and was the first to ride his horse away. When the man in the water saw that the boss was gone, he rushed ashore in a hurry, stepped on his horse, and then kicked the horse in the belly and rushed up.

Qin Han and the others walked out of the mountains and forests, only to see a person lying on horseback coming this way. A sharp-eyed subordinate shouted, "It's Lao Wang!" After speaking, he came down and stepped forward on foot to take Lao Wang's horse and make it stop in front of Qin Han.

Qin Han looked at Lao Wang lying on horseback, only to see that he was seriously injured and kept coughing up blood from his mouth. Lao Wang raised his head and saw Qin Han, and said with difficulty: "The Black Soul Guard is here." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he fell unsteadily from his horse. Qin Han dismounted to check, shook his head after a moment, and said, "Let's go first, the rest of the brothers will escape on their own when they see the flare." There can be no further delay. ”

The subordinate who led the horse couldn't bear the old king's violent corpse wilderness, carried it to his horse, and the group fled to the outside of Longmian Mountain.

People are like this, often can't talk about it on the one hand, although these killers have done a lot of unconscionable, cold-blooded and ruthless things, but they still can't be hard-hearted in the face of the corpses of their companions. Of course, it is not necessarily that they still have good intentions, but it is more likely that their selfish genes are at work, they are just afraid that one day they will be dead in the wild and no one cares.

So at this moment, he made a seemingly benevolent and useless act, maybe a brother who slept next to him yesterday and had a stronger relationship with the old king was lying in a pool of blood somewhere in the mountains and forests at the moment, and who would collect his body?

In the final analysis, he just faintly hoped in his heart that if he had that day, what he did today would be rewarded, and someone would send his body to his family like he helped Lao Wang......

As soon as Li Mingrui heard that his wife's party had encountered assassins, he immediately summoned the Black Soul Guard to come out of the city to rescue him. Of course, in the Black Soul Guard, Huang Zirui's order is an arrogance, and such a large-scale dispatch must have Li Tiancheng's edict. After refusing Li Mingrui's request, the prince was furious, saying that among the assassins' assassination targets were Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and if she had three long and two short, she would wait for all the heads to fall to the ground!

This time the Black Soul Guard was nervous, none of them felt that Li Mingrui was making a big fuss, Li Muya's popularity in the entire royal court was well known, if they missed the opportunity and caused Li Muya to suffer, they would not only suffer the anger of Li Tiancheng, but even the anger of the Huangfu family.

"Follow His Royal Highness the Second Prince's rescue!" the Black Soul Guard general raised his arms and shouted, and a mighty team of people walked out of the south city gate......

Li Mingrui, who rushed to the side of the small river in Longmian Mountain, was half-hugging his wife Lin Yao, for fear that she would be frightened. Before the Black Soul Guard troops arrived, the battle between Huangfu Yan and the black-robed man had ended, the two were like water and stones, and no one could help anyone in a short time, and finally the black-robed man disappeared with the black-robed man's subordinates.

"Has His Royal Highness the Second Prince met Her Royal Highness the Princess on the way down?" Feiye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and saluted Li Mingrui, and then asked anxiously.

"The palace was worried about Yao'er's safety, so I rushed all the way here, and I didn't see the imperial sister. However, General Zhao of the Black Soul Guard went to search. "The General Zhao in Li Mingrui's mouth is the Black Soul Guard general who ordered him to come to the rescue. is named Zhao Shen, and his cultivation is not shallow.

"Mingrui...... I don't know if Mu Ya and Li Xiaohu escaped, the assassins seem to be going for them, you don't care about me, hurry up and save Mu Ya. Lin Yao said anxiously.

At this moment, Zhao Shen came to them on horseback with a team of Black Soul Guards. He dismounted and saluted Li Mingrui, and then said, "The thieves on the other side of the mountain have been wiped out, but ...... There is no trace of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess. ”

"Who are you?" Li Mingrui noticed a man in tattered clothes at the back of the crowd, because the Black Soul Guards were all wearing black and gold armor, so he was particularly conspicuous.

Everyone in the Black Soul Guard gave up their empty seats, and the man was finally completely exposed in front of everyone. I saw that he was holding a head in his hand, and he stood there silently in despair, as if he hadn't heard Li Mingrui's question.
