As the Assassin's blade was about to touch the corpse of the guard, he suddenly heard a roar from his side, and before he could see what was happening, a figure flew from the side and knocked him directly out of the carriage, and the figures of the two rolled together under the carriage.

At the critical moment, a guard with a big waist and a round waist flew over, both of whom were covered in armor, lost their weapons, and fought on the ground again.

The two of them shook their fists and slammed each other's heads desperately, their armor colliding with armor, splattering fragments mixed with scarlet blood.

This was just the tip of the battle, as more and more Assassins broke through the guards and stormed Yin Xiang's carriage.

A guard jumped into the carriage and dragged Yin Xiang out, and then helped her and said urgently: "The assassin is menacing, the princess quickly go into the crop field and hide first......

Before the poor guard could finish his words, a sword flew diagonally from his side, striking him in the temple and piercing his head in an instant.

The guard's corpse fell down in front of Yin Xiang, which also made Yin Xiang's eyes round with horror.

At this moment, an assassin rushed towards Yin Xiang with his bare hands, his fingers bent as if he were a ghost.

When he was less than five meters away from Yin Xiang, a guard pounced on him and slammed him headlong into the crops on the side of the road, and the two of them engaged in a life-and-death scuffle in the grass.

Yin Xiang swallowed her saliva, her neck stiffened and looked around her, there were battles everywhere around her, guards and assassins were fighting everywhere, swords and swords, blood splashed from time to time, the corpses on the ground were stacked on top of each other, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was impossible to distinguish which were the guards and which were the assassins.

At this point, she felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff. Her life hangs by a thread, and any external force can push her into the abyss.

The fear that came from the depths of her heart sent a shiver through her spirit, and she could no longer care about the majesty of a princess, so she fell to the ground and crawled into the fields by the roadside.

Beads of bean's sweat dripped down Yin Xiang's cheeks and neck from time to time, and she couldn't remember how many corpses she had crawled over. Finally entered the wheat field by the roadside.

When life and death are at stake, where can she care about what is dirty or not, she walks on all fours, and drills into the depths of the wheat field one by one.

It wasn't until Yin Xiang used up the last bit of strength in her body that she stopped, she didn't dare to look out to see how far she had crawled, her face was pressed to the ground, and only the strength to gasp for breath remained.

The sound of fighting in the distance became weaker and weaker, and I don't know how long it took. Finally, there was no sound, only the faint smell of blood in the air.

Yin Xiang lay on the ground, not daring to raise her head, her body shrunk into a ball, shaking non-stop.

"Sand, sand, sand!"

The sound of the wheat ears being trampled on was heard, and it got closer and closer, and Yin Xiang's heart beat faster and faster, so fast that she had to cover her mouth. I'm afraid that I'll scream, and I'm afraid that my heart will pop out of my throat.

"Sand, sand!"

Footsteps are closer. As close as Yin Xiang could hear the creaking sound of the soles of the visitors' feet pressing against the dirt, the footsteps finally stopped, and the wheat field became silent, silent and terrifyingly quiet.

Yin Xiang slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of military boots. There was mud and blood on it, and she slowly raised her head, her gaze swept over the other's knee pads, breastplate, and finally landed on the other's face.

What she saw was a pair of scarlet eyes, as hideous as the face of a demon.

Her mouth opened wider and wider. But he couldn't say a word, the man's red eyes narrowed sharply, the long sword in his hand was raised little by little, the long sword stopped in the air, and the edge flashed with a dazzling cold light.

Yin Xiang saw the killing intent in the other party's eyes, and felt the murderous aura from the other party's body, but at this time, no one could save her.

Yin Xiang has never been so close to death in her life, she has even smelled the breath of death, in an instant, countless scenes flashed in her mind like a marquee, from childhood to adulthood, so the scenes that impressed her were replayed one by one, and in the end, what she thought of was not the assassin, who was instructed by the assassin, but Lin Haotian.

When Lin Haotian's appearance appeared in her mind, Yin Xiang didn't know where she got the strength, and she suddenly could make a sound, and she screamed: "Lin Haotian save me-"

She suddenly shouted the words 'Lin Haotian save me', which stunned the assassin who was close at hand and was about to swing his sword, but at the moment of his stunnedness, a figure suddenly shot out of the rice field behind him, and between walking and passing, the cold light drew a long arc.

The cold light was gone, the blood was gone, and the assassin didn't even see where the sneak attacker came from, and his neck was cut off by a sword.

At first, only a red line appeared on his neck, and then, blood flowed down this red line, and then, his body involuntarily shook back and forth, and as a result, this shaking shook his neck and head off as well.

"Bang!"

The human head fell to the ground, until it reached Yin Xiang's eyes, and the distance from Yin Xiang was so close that the tips of their noses were about to touch each other, until this time, the expression of the severed head did not change at all, and the angry eyes were still staring at Yin Xiang.

"Ahh

Yin Xiang came back to her senses, she was so frightened that she jumped from the ground to a high level, and then her legs were weak, and she fell to the ground again, her buttocks rubbing against the ground and rubbing back.

"The assassin is dead, don't panic Your Highness the Princess!" The man who came out of the wheat field just now walked quickly to Yin Xiang, squatted down, and said quickly to Yin Xiang, whose gaze had completely lost focus: "The people of the Fifth Legion have rushed over, they will take care of the princess, and they can't stay here for a long time, so they will leave first!" As he spoke, the man made a gesture to get up and leave, but when he stood up halfway, he found that Yin Xiang's hand had firmly grasped the hem of his clothes at some point.

Yin Xiang turned her head mechanically and looked at this person, the other party was dressed in black, and his face was also covered with a black scarf, revealing only two bright eyes outside.

Her voice was low and trembling, and she asked intermittently, "Sue ...... Tell Hongu that you ...... Who are you?"

The man in black looked at Yin Xiang, pondered for a moment, and said, "Down there is a golden man, and it was the Lord who sent me to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

It was someone sent by Lin Haotian! Yin Xiang was secretly taken aback, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. Asked: "The last time the palace was in distress in Brother Rong's mansion, it was also a letter from you to General Buying?"

At that time, Yin Xiang fell for Yin Rong's plan and was trapped in Gongzi's mansion, but Bu Ying arrived with the army at the first time and killed Yin Rong. rescued Yin Xiang, and after that, Yin Xiang also asked Bu Ying carefully, why did he come so quickly, and how did he know that Brother Rong was going to harm her?

Bu Ying told the truth that he didn't know that Yin Rong wanted to harm Yin Xiang, but someone secretly reported to him Tongjin, so he took the letter suspiciously to the Jiugongzi's Mansion to find out, and the news of the person who reported the letter was really right, Yin Xiang was indeed in distress in the Jiugongzi's Mansion. Later, he also wanted to thank the person who reported the news, but the person was long gone.

Since he couldn't find the person who secretly reported to Buying, this matter became an unsolved case, and besides, the other party was motivated by good intentions, since he didn't want to show up, Yin Xiang didn't dig into it anymore, now. She saw the man in black and naturally connected him to the matter.

The man in black smiled indifferently. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Her Royal Highness is really smart! That's just a gesture, and the princess doesn't have to worry about it." As he spoke, he suddenly tilted his head, listened for a moment, and put away his smile. said to Yin Xiang Zhengse: "The people of the Fifth Legion will arrive soon, and they are really leaving, Your Royal Highness the princess take care!"

After speaking, without waiting for Yin Xiang to react, he forcibly pulled down Yin Xiang's hand that grabbed his shirt. Jumping into the wheat field, only a moment of work, the person has disappeared without a trace.

Yin Xiang still has too many questions for him to answer, she wants to know why Lin Haotian sent someone to Zhaoyang, what is the purpose, and why he wants someone to secretly protect herself, if she dies, those princes and princesses who have temporarily united together will inevitably turn the spearhead and kill each other, the battle for the throne of the Yan Kingdom will only become more fierce and confusing, and the court will definitely be more chaotic, isn't it more beneficial to the Jin Kingdom?

It's just that the man in black didn't give her a chance to ask more, Yin Xiang hurriedly stood up, and subconsciously chased in the direction where the man in black disappeared, but she ran out of two steps, her feet were weak, and she fell to the ground, her legs didn't seem to be her own, heavy and sore, and she couldn't use her strength.

As she struggled to get up from the ground again, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a large group of flame cavalry rushed towards her like a whirlwind.

In an instant, the Yan cavalry rushed to Yin Xiang's approach, and immediately surrounded her, and then, the knights on the horse dismounted one after another, and one of the leaders Yan General walked quickly to Yin Xiang, knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said urgently: "The last general is too late to save the car, so the princess is frightened, and please ask the princess to surrender!"

The Yan general who spoke had the appearance of being in his thirties, his face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were colorful, his eyes were like stars, his appearance was handsome, and he was heroic.

Yin Xiang's gaze stared blankly at the direction where the man in black disappeared, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, turning her eyes to look at Ren Tianxing, who was kneeling in front of her.

Seeing the person coming clearly, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes suddenly darkened, and then she didn't know anything, and Ren Tianxing's concerned voice was faintly heard in her ears: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess-"

When Yin Xiang woke up slowly, it was already more than an hour later, and she was already lying in the tent of the Fifth Legion's station, surrounded by either medical officers or maids, and Ren Tianxing was pacing back and forth anxiously.

"The princess is awake, the princess is awake!" The medical officer was the first to notice that Yin Xiang had woken up, and one by one he was surprised and shouted.

Hearing the call of the medical officer, Ren Tianxing hurriedly stopped his steps, separated the crowd, took three steps into two steps, came to the bed, bent down, and asked nervously, "How does the princess feel?"

The princess was assassinated by assassins under his jurisdiction, and if there were three longs and two shorts, he would not escape the blame, and if he didn't get it right, he would have to behead all the houses and bury the princess.

Yin Xiang first looked at Ren Tianxing, then at the others beside the bed, and then slowly closed her eyes.

After a long pause, her muddy head finally cleared up a little, and then she opened her eyes again, looked at Ren Tianxing, and asked weakly, "Thorn ...... Where's the guest?"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, rest assured, the assassin is now dead and fleeing, and will no longer threaten the princess. Seeing that Yin Xiang's pale cheeks finally regained some blood, Ren Tianxing's heart hanging in his throat finally fell.

"Yes...... Can you find out the identity of the assassin?" Yin Xiang propped up the bed with her elbow arm and tried to sit up, but the maids around her hurriedly reached out and helped her sit up.

Ren Tianxing shook his head with a frown, and said, "The assassin did not leave any evidence or clues on him. Even the armor they wore was unwoven. ”

The armor of the Yan Kingdom was numbered as long as it was distributed, the Central Army was branded with the mark of the subordinate legion, the local army was branded with the local mark, and the family army was also branded with the family insignia, and the armor worn by these Assassins did not have these markings, and it was impossible to judge their specific identity from this.

Listen to Ren Tianxing's words. Yin Xiang had a wry smile on her face and said, "In this way, the armor they wear is all privately made. ”

"Oh......" Ren Tian nodded in embarrassment and replied, "It's very likely." "However, there is another possibility, that is, the assassins have someone in the manufacturing department, and through the internal response of the manufacturing department, they secretly steal the armor that has just been created and has not had time to be branded.

Of course, the last thing Ren Tianxing wants is for this to happen. The Manufacturing Division is also not under his jurisdiction.

Yin Xiang still wanted to speak, but suddenly frowned again, and said to the maids on the left and right: "Get a cup of water for the main palace!"

A maid hurriedly agreed, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Yin Xiang. The latter drank it dry in one gulp, and the water went down her stomach, and her whole person looked a lot more energetic, and she cleared her throat. He asked again, "What about the casualties of those guards brought by the palace?"

"This ......" Ren Tianxing lowered his head and said nothing.

"General Ren has something to say, just say it directly. This palace can still hold up!"

"Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Princess's guards are all loyal, and they are now ...... Now all of them have been martyred, and none of them have survived. Ren Tianxing said his words hard.

After Yin Xiang heard this, the cup in her hand fell to the ground, and her eyes turned red. Tears rolled down silently.

Her personal guards, many of whom had been following her for years, might not give them a second glance, but that didn't mean she had no feelings for them. Now that I heard that the guards were fighting desperately and all of them were killed, Yin Xiang was sad from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't cry out loud.

Her silent tearful appearance made people feel even more distressed when they saw it, even Ren Tianxing felt unbearable for a while, and he persuaded in a low voice: "People can't be resurrected after death, Her Royal Highness the princess still asks for condolences!"

Yin Xiang looked at Ren Tianxing with teary eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "This palace is not worth crying about their death, but also crying that they are bullying this palace too much!"

Ren Tianxing's heart trembled, and he doubted: "Them?"

Yin Xiang's weeping eyes stared at Ren Tianxing without blinking, and asked rhetorically: "General Ren thinks that who can raise so many and such powerful assassins, and is so eager to kill the palace, even at the risk of taking the risk within the garrison of the Fifth Army?"

"This ......" Ren Tianxing is not a fool, he can naturally guess that this matter must be related to the battle for the throne, and nine times out of ten the assassins are also sent by the prince or princess who is not compatible with Yin Xiang, but he can't say this, there is no evidence, and he suspects the prince and princess without authorization, which is a big rebellion.

He finally shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Yin Xiang glanced at him with resentment, and said with a crying voice: "So far, General Ren still wants to stay out of the matter, and still want to have no quarrel with the world? In order to compete for the throne, they have resorted to all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and they have tried every possible means to kill the palace, and they are also good at making claims, and have invited the princes of the Thirteenth Road to lead the family army to besiege Zhaoyang, I am afraid, if the palace does not die, the family army outside the city will forcibly enter the capital, and the palace will be stabbed, will General Ren continue to sit idly by and let the palace be slaughtered?"

Ren Tianxing's body was shocked, and the spirit of the spirit shivered, and subconsciously said: "No, Your Royal Highness the princess, no matter how bold the princes are, they will never dare to openly commit a crime and murder the princess......"

"What if they really want to do that?"

"Then he must do everything in his power, even if he is broken to pieces, to destroy rebellion and ensure that the princess is safe. ”

"In this case, General Ren should now stand on the side of the palace, expel those princes who returned to the capital without the order of the imperial court, and strictly investigate the murderers behind the assassination of the palace!" The tears in Yin Xiang's eyes disappeared, replaced by strong hatred.

Ren Tianxing smiled bitterly and hung his head silently.

What will be the final result of chasing down the culprits behind the assassins and expelling the princes back to the capital, it will definitely evolve into a war against each other, if it really comes to that point, the whole Yan country will have to be in a mess, and this is exactly what the Jin country wants to see.

Yanguo can't withstand such turmoil and civil strife, this battle for the throne can only be a literary struggle and not a martial fight, this is the true thought in Ren Tianxing's heart.

He insisted on his position of not leaning towards either side, so that Yin Xiang and Yin Ting, Yin Yuan's forces can reach a balance, both sides have mutual concerns, no one dares to use force easily, the battle for the throne between the two sides can only be maintained to the extent of fighting but not breaking, once his attitude is tilted, whether it is to Yin Xiang or Yin Ting, Yin Yuan, it will make his confidence swell, make the other side fall into despair, and the situation will progress to the point where it is difficult to control.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please forgive me for the difficulty of obeying my fate. Ren Tianxing's brows twisted into a pimple, what should he do, he is a little undecided now.

Speaking of which, Ren Tianxing still refused to stand on his side, which made Yin Xiang feel helpless and frustrated, she said unwillingly: "General Ren, don't think that you can stay out of the matter by moving out of the capital and living in the barracks, they will not let you go, and may even implicate your family." ”

Hearing this, Ren Tianxing's face immediately sank, and he said, "The princess threatens the last general so much, it really makes the last general panic." ”

"It's not that this palace is scaring you, but now that they are mad and dare to assassinate this palace in broad daylight, General Ren thinks that there is anything else they can't do, or they don't dare to do?" Yin Xiang reminded in a heavy tone.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for your warning, the last general knows. Ren Tianxing nodded, but his face was still gloomy, and he had no intention of continuing. He knew in his heart that under his repeated refusals, Yin Xiang was already anxious, and what she said was just her angry words.

In fact, it was indeed Yin Xiang's angry words, but how did she know that she was really unfortunate to be hit by her. (To be continued......)
