However, on the eve of arriving at Lishan, on the winding mountain road of Anshan, an unexpected assassination suddenly fell from the sky in the early afternoon.

The terrain of Anshan is extremely precipitous, and the place where this accident occurred is close to the main peak of Anshan on one side, but on the other hand, it is a cliff, so everyone was frightened to the extreme for a while, and the sound of "escort" came and went.

However, the guards soon divided into two groups in an orderly manner under the leadership of Wang Shouxing, one group firmly protected the emperor and the queen, and the other wave rushed towards the masked assassins and fought with the masked assassins.

Due to Yun Tian's low position, the car she was riding in was far away from Xi Ze's car, so although Xi Ze was firmly protected by the guards, her eyes did not stop searching for Yun Tian's figure.

Seeing that at this moment, she was alone in the melee between the assassins and the guards, dodging left and right in horror, and she fell to the ground in an instant, the bright red blood stuck to her clothes, I don't know if it was her own or someone else's, Xi Ze's heart hurt to the extreme, how could she still bear it, he quickly ordered Mu Xuehan: "Xuehan, I'll leave it to you here!" ”

After saying that, he immediately pulled out the soft sword he was wearing, kicked down the guard in front of him, stepped on his shoulder, jumped forward, and quickly killed Yun Tian all the way, just to save her from the assassin's sword, and Yun Tian narrowly escaped the catastrophe.

Xi Ze held on tightly to Yun Tian and fought with the assassins all the way, but these assassins were all strong in martial arts, although Xi Ze's martial arts were not under them, but now he had to protect Yun Tian and was blocked everywhere, so it was very difficult to deal with.

However, for the Assassins, Xi Ze's sudden appearance was tantamount to the heavens' help, so they quickly spontaneously approached Xi Ze, tightly surrounding Xi Ze and Yun Tian in the center. Launched a fierce attack on Xi Ze, pressing forward step by step, and killing him with his moves.

Although the guards wanted to rush in to escort them, it was difficult to do so at this time.

Seeing this, Yun Tian couldn't help but raise her heart to her throat, she hugged Xi Ze to the death, but Xi Ze was very calm, he protected Yun Tian beside him, responded calmly, and tried his best to resist.

I don't know how long this desperate fight lasted, for Xi Ze, the knife wound can no longer feel pain, the blood can no longer block the vision, and the strength seems to be endless, and it can't be used up.

In the end, Xi Ze resisted with amazing perseverance, and all the assassins were killed by the combined attack of Xi Ze and the guards.

At this moment, Yun Tian was already frightened, and she looked at Xi Ze, who had eight stab wounds in front of her, and couldn't say a word in surprise.

It was still Xia Wanfeng who was still calm, and the royal doctor came to Xi Ze's rescue loudly.

Seeing this, Xi Ze reluctantly raised a smile and comforted Yun Tian: "Yun Tian, don't be afraid, it's all over!" With me here, no one will want to hurt you! ”

Yun Tian nodded hurriedly, but the tears rolled down uncontrollably, one after the other.

"Fool!"

However, at this moment, a shocking change came.

Wang Ningxuan's exclamation suddenly came from the side of Yun Tian and Xi Ze: "Green clothes, don't go, that's a trap......"

The two turned their eyes to look, only to see Shen Luyi suddenly rush out of the concubine team, and quickly ran towards an assassin who was lying on the edge of the cliff and could still move, as if to prevent him from committing suicide, just when she was about to catch the assassin, the assassin quickly got up and pushed Shen Luyi to the cliff with one palm, and at this critical moment, Xia Wanfeng jumped up, grabbed Shen Luyi's wrist with one hand, and grabbed the edge of the cliff with the other, gritted his teeth, and held on.

Shen Luyi escaped, his whole body hung on the cliff, he was suddenly scared and sweaty, and when he looked up, the assassin pulled out the dagger hidden at his ankle and stabbed Xia Wanfeng's back with lightning speed, and bright red blood gushed out instantly, however, despite this, Xia Wanfeng still grabbed her wrist tightly, used all her strength to support it, and said to her: "Green, hold on to my hand, don't let go of ......"

The guards, who reacted quickly, pulled away the assassin under the leadership of Wang Shouxing, and quickly rescued Shen Luyi.

Shen Luyi looked at the scene in front of him in despair, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while, but his ears rushed to the wild laughter of the assassin after his success: "I can't kill Helian Xize, killing you Xia Wanfeng is also a great achievement, this assassination is not a failure!" I quenched poison on this dagger, Dugu prayed at night far away in Changbai Mountain, see how you live this time?! Haha......"

After saying that, he immediately bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Due to Xi Ze's serious injuries and inability to travel long distances, the holy driver had to suspend his trip to the Lishan Palace and camp on the spot for the night.

The accompanying imperial doctor bandaged Xi Ze's wound and told Xi Ze that he must rest well, but Xi Ze held Yun Ze's hand tightly from beginning to end, and refused to let go no matter what.

That night, Wang Ningxuan came to Xi Ze's tent to report the situation of the people who accompanied him, but when he saw this situation, he didn't see it, his expression was calm and calm, so calm and calm that Yun Tian was both surprised and guilty, Yun Tian lowered his head and cramped up to greet her, but before the words came out, she stopped him and said: "Rong Meiren doesn't have to be polite, sit down quickly, and take care of the emperor with peace of mind!" ”

Therefore, Yun Tian had no choice but to answer "yes" and sit down as he said.

Seeing that it was Wang Ningxuan, Xi Ze hurriedly asked eagerly, "What is the situation of everyone now?" ”

Wang Ningxuan knew that he was anxious, and he couldn't care about those false courtesies, so he hurriedly replied: "The two princes are safe and sound, and now they are sleeping peacefully under the care of Dan Guifei and Qin Meiren respectively, and the concubines Yan Guiren and Liu Guiren have suffered a little skin trauma, and everything else is fine, but Ying Guifei is seriously injured and unconscious in order to protect everyone, but now she is under the treatment of the imperial doctor, and she has no worries about her life for the time being!" ”

"How is Kaede's injury now?" Xi Ze hurriedly asked again.

At the mention of this, Wang Ningxuan's expression immediately seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds: "As the assassin said, there is poison on the dagger, and the situation is not very optimistic now!" The concubine has sent someone to Changbai Mountain to ask for a divine doctor as soon as possible in accordance with the emperor's instructions, and the military order pigeon has also been released, although the imperial doctor has tried his best to save him, but Lord Xia's body may not be able to hold the divine doctor back......"

The military order pigeon in her words is a very high-quality, extremely fast carrier pigeon that Xi Ze secretly trains, but even if this military order pigeon is dispatched, it will take at least three days to spread the news to Qi Ye who is far away on Changbai Mountain, plus the time for Qi Ye to return from Changbai Mountain to Anshan, it will take at least eight days in total, and judging from Xia Wanfeng's current situation, it is far from lasting so long.

When Xi Ze heard this, he naturally understood the stakes, and couldn't help but be so anxious that he was covered in sweat: "I don't know what the use of these quacks in the Imperial Hospital is to raise them?" At the critical moment, no one can share my worries! ”

Seeing this, Yun Tian's heart ached, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have all traveled together with so many hardships and obstacles, we will definitely be able to survive this time, and there must be other ways to save Lord Xia!" So you must take care of your dragon body now! ”

"Rong Meiren is right!" Wang Ningxuan also continued to persuade, "Your Majesty, you must not be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, the people below will be more panicked and confused, which will only make the situation worse and worse!" At the critical moment, the dragon body is important! ”

Although the words are not wrong, but in this war against time, Xi Ze is really not completely sure that he can win in the end, and he can't help frowning: "Isn't it the same whether I am in a hurry or not in a hurry?" What else can I do now? ”
