The person who appeared in the darkness also had a short sword in his hand, but it was far sharper than in Lu Jian's hand. The cold light flashed in the dark, Xiao Yizhan was very embarrassed for a while, and it was very difficult to parry.

Li Xianru became more and more anxious, only hoping that the nearby guards could come to help, but before Xiao Yizhan was in a hurry, he sent all the people near the left to gather his officials, and for a while there were only a few young maids and maids nearby, hiding in the corner and shivering.

Xiao Yizhan was able to dodge the opponent's attack, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart, when suddenly there was another sound of breaking the air, and the black-clothed man in front of him suddenly froze, and a silver arrow appeared from his chest.

Xiao Yizhan, who escaped death, gasped again and again to calm his mind. When he looked up, he saw Liu Binyuan holding a bow and arrow, as well as Liu Guanglei and other core figures in the Liu family. The frightened Li Xianru was speechless for a while, but Liu Binyuan spoke first: "Shizi, madam, who is such a thief, who dares to come to the palace to assassinate?"

Xiao Yizhan reacted first, and arched his hand: "Thank you Liu Gongzi, if it weren't for Gongzi's arrow, Xiao would have died in Huangquan." But it's late at night, why did the Liu family happen to come here and just bump into this thief?" Xiao Yizhan was secretly attacked. Just got out of danger, and his heart was depressed, and Liu Binyuan and others appeared here late at night, a little suspicious, and blurted out the words of questioning.

Hearing Xiao Yizhan's questioning tone, Liu Binyuan showed an unhappy look on his face, and Liu Guanglei said: "The prince must have misunderstood, it was the prince himself who sent someone to find us, saying that there was something important to discuss." After he finished speaking, a teenage boy poked his head out from behind them, and then stood up and saluted Xiao Yizhan.

Xiao Yizhan recognized that this was one of the few subordinates sent out before, and Xiao Yizhan stayed by his side to serve because of his cleverness. Xiao Yizhan vaguely guessed something in his heart, Xiao Tong grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he must not know much about the relationship between the Liu family and Benhai City, the Liu family has been in frequent contact with Xiao Yizhan and others recently, and it is expected that the Liu family is also an important minister of Benhai City, so he also notified it.

Xiao Yizhan hurriedly laughed and said, "It's Xiao who is abrupt." The incident happened suddenly, Xiao was in an impatient mood, and offended everyone, but it was really Xiao's fault. ”

Liu Guanglei waved his hand, signaling that he was out of the way, and then asked, "Dare to ask the prince what is going on, where did the guards in the palace go?"

Xiao Yizhan hesitated for a moment and didn't need to tell Liu Guanglei and the others, after all, this is a family matter in Benhai City, and it is a bit embarrassing. At this time, Li Xianru stepped forward and said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I have infiltrated a lot of Dongliu City's eyeliner in Benhai City, just now these two people are, lying that Prince Chengji was in danger in Yunzhong City, and took advantage of our panic to sneak attack, almost landing on their way." ”

Liu Guanglei showed a solemn look and said in a deep voice: "If this is the handiwork of Dongliu City, then it shouldn't just be an opportunity to assassinate. ”

Xiao Yizhan was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting "Shizi", the voice gradually approached, and a person dressed as a guard walked in from the door, at this time, Xiao Yizhan's personal guard was also the person Xiao Yizhan sent out to gather the generals before. He had obviously run a long distance and was slightly gasping.

"Lord Shizi, my subordinates met General Qi on the road defending the city, and he said that he received your order that there was an enemy attack in the south of the city, so he mobilized his men to go south. The subordinates felt strange, so they rushed back to report to the son. The guard said.

Xiao Yizhan glanced down at Lu Jian on the ground, and scolded: "It's broken!" He found that he had made a fatal mistake, although he was unwilling to transfer the garrison in the city, but he ignored that the garrison generals were responsible for guarding Benhai City, and they had the right to dispatch their own sergeants when they heard about the military situation, not to mention that Lu Jian was the minister of the DPRK and China, and he was also holding Xiao Yizhan's handwriting.

"In this way, Dongliu City has been premeditated, and wants to transfer the city's defense and take advantage of the weakness. Presumably, at this time, the enemy army was about to attack the north of the city. Li Xianru's face was covered with gloom.

Xiao Yizhan frowned and looked at Liu Guanglei. Liu Guanglei suddenly understood, and after a little hesitation, he spoke: "The Liu family is willing to advance and retreat with the prince." He knew in his heart that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed, and if he didn't sell his face to Benhai City at this time, whether it was the defeat of Benhai City and the lair of Dongliu City, or the retreat of Benhai City from a strong enemy, everyone in the Liu family would not end well. The dozens of people in the Liu family are not enough to become a climate.

"Where's Miss Ying'er?" was when everyone was discussing the breakout plan, Liu Binyuan suddenly interjected.

Xiao Yizhan was stunned for a moment, but Li Xianru replied: "I have already sent someone to call her." ”

Just a moment later, someone reciprocated. Li Xianru sent a grandmother who had served by her side for many years, and everyone unconsciously looked behind her, but they didn't see Xiao Ying'er.

The grandmother's face was dripping with beads of sweat, obviously very anxious, and she couldn't speak clearly for a while: "Husband...... Madame, Miss is not ...... Not in the room, a few personal maids are gone!"

Li Xianru's expression was pale, her body was shaky, and a maid beside her hurriedly hugged her. Xiao Yizhan and Liu Binyuan also looked anxious, pacing back and forth, unable to speak.

The guard, who fell to the ground, spoke: "The north of the city is empty, the situation is critical, the enemy can take advantage of the weakness, and ask the prince to go and command the overall situation." ”

Xiao Yizhan stood still and turned his head to look at Li Xianru, but Li Xianru panicked and didn't notice Xiao Yizhan's gaze. He straightened the armor on his body, gritted his teeth at the guard, and said, "You hurry to the south of the city, inform General Qi and the garrison in the south of the city to come to the north of the city to support, and I will go to the military camp to transfer troops first." As he spoke, he turned his head and bowed deeply to the people of the Liu family.

"The situation is critical, Xiao is lacking skills, and the little sister and her mother are not out of danger, I can't rest assured, and I ask you to lend a hand, and the Xiao family will be grateful in the future. ”

Liu Guanglei hurriedly helped Xiao Yizhan up and agreed repeatedly. He didn't want to charge for Xiao Yizhan, and it was easier to have the errand of guarding his family.

And Liu Binyuan didn't listen to their conversation at all, holding the bow in his left hand and looking into the distance.

......

He Yue paced back and forth a little impatiently, looking up from time to time. There were three people standing beside him, all dressed as household servants, and they all showed respectful expressions in front of He Yue.

A slender silhouette gradually appeared in the darkness, and she still carried a cloth bag on her shoulder, obviously still with some weight, and her steps were a little staggering. When He Yue saw the figure, his face was overjoyed, and he quickly beckoned a few people behind him to come forward to pick them up.

Xiaoxi handed the cloth bag on his shoulder to the three people beside He Yue, and then supported his knees with both hands, panting slightly. He Yue walked up a little impatiently and opened the cloth bag. By the moonlight, he vaguely saw a fifteen-year-old girl inside, dressed very luxuriously, she didn't move, only her chest rose and fell slightly, obviously in a coma.

He Yue's impatient expression swept away, and Chong Xiaoxi smiled: "It's her, right?"

Xiaoxi's face was pale and he nodded slightly.

He Yue made a gesture and asked a few of his subordinates to carry the cloth bag, and a person dressed as a family member next to him asked, "Don't you wait for Lu Jian and them?"

A trace of unhappiness appeared on He Yue's face, and he looked up at the lights in the distance, and the faint sound of horses' hooves came in the wind. He frowned: "Don't wait, the assassination of Xiao Yizhan is also dangerous, even if they succeed, it will be difficult to get out." This chick has arrived, and the top priority is to get out as soon as possible. ”

The three people around all nodded and stopped talking, only Xiaoxi's face became more and more pale, but the night was deep, and He Yue didn't notice it.

He Yue took everyone to turn left and right in the palace, they were all people who had been lurking in the palace for several years, and they were very familiar with the route and layout of the palace, and easily bypassed the crowds in the palace along the way. They are weak and it is impossible to break through the city gate, He Yue has already reconnoitred clearly, there is a low wall on the east side of the palace, which can barely be climbed, and it is the place where Xiao Ying'er met Liu Binyuan that day.

The group quietly came to the east wall, which is relatively remote, it is a passenger compartment, which is the residence of everyone in the Liu family, He Yue still has a headache How to avoid the eyes and ears of the Liu family, but the Liu family was all summoned by Xiao Yizhan by chance, and the surroundings were silent, and they met a few servants and maids who came and went and were easily disposed of by them. He Yue was secretly happy in his heart, and beckoned everyone to climb up along the low wall.

He Yue was in a hurry, and wanted to be the first to climb over the wall, but thinking that the situation outside the wall was unknown, he asked one person to climb over first. The man was also very agile, and easily jumped over the wall, but there was a dull sound of landing outside the wall. A few shallow moans followed.

He Yue's face changed, and he was secretly glad in his heart that he had sent his subordinates to test the waters. He then sent someone to fetch a quilt and pillow from the east compartment and threw it out of the low wall. Then he was relieved to let the remaining few people roll over the wall, and this time he wisely chose the last one to go out.

Xiaoxi's body was delicate and she couldn't climb up for a long time, He Yue urged her unhappily, and even wanted to leave her behind, but remembering that she had made a meritorious service, she couldn't chill the hearts of her subordinates, so he asked a few people to support her to climb up, and he also ordered someone to carry the cloth bag together.

He Yue was the last to climb over the wall, and the rest of the people were already standing. As soon as he made a gesture, he led the people eastward.

They agreed with the receiving team to be more than ten miles east of the city. He Yue was quite anxious on the road, urging everyone to speed up to the agreed place, and the group traveled all the way east, until they came to an abandoned winery on the outskirts of the city. Looking south, you can faintly see a faint flash of fire in Liyun Harbor, presumably a dock worker working at night.

It was pitch black in the winery, He Yue hesitated for a moment before slowly walking in, and Xiaoxi and the others followed behind him. Entering the winery, there were only a few old wine jars stacked in the corner, and even some holes were broken in the floor, but there was no one in sight.

He Yue's heart was pounding, and he wondered if he had exposed his horse's feet, and unconsciously reached out to touch the blade on his waist.

Suddenly, a shallow laugh came from behind him: "Second young master, long time no see!"
