Chapter 36: Losing a Beloved
Since the left and right battalions still had some finishing touches, Xiao Jingxuan took the personal guard battalion and the middle battalion cavalry to return to the camp first.
After returning to the barracks, Xiao Jingxuan arranged military affairs and returned to the Hou Mansion with thirty personal guards.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Jingxuan came to his backyard and took out the imperial catalogue from his arms to comprehend.
However, after a while, Yan Shu'er came over with the maid and saw Xiao Jingxuan looking at something. Yan Shu'er coughed, interrupting Xiao Jingxuan's thoughts.
Xiao Jingxuan came back to his senses and looked at Yan Shu'er not far away, Xiao Jingxuan said with a smile: "Shu'er, I didn't see you when I returned to the house, and I thought you weren't in the house?" ”
Yan Shu'er said in a coquettish voice: "No, you just returned home, and you didn't send anyone to inform you, I just went to visit my mother and came back." ”
After Xiao Jingxuan took the Imperial Catalogue into his arms, he beckoned to Yan Shu'er.
Yan Shu'er walked over with a red face, Xiao Jingxuan took Yan Shu'er in his arms, and said softly, "Well, I've worked hard for you." By the way, don't prepare dinner, and later you can send someone to inform the Guogong Mansion and say that we will go over for dinner today. ”
Yan Shu'er whispered. The two of them sat quietly for a while.
In the afternoon, after Xiao Jingxuan freshened up, he took Yan Shu'er to drive towards the Guogong Mansion in a carriage.
After having dinner at the Guogong Mansion, Yan Shuer chatted with Yun Niang, and Xiao Jingxuan followed the Guogong to the study.
After retiring the others, Guogong looked at Xiao Jingxuan and asked, "How did you choose?" ”
"What choice does my father want me to make?"
One sentence resisted Guogong. Seeing that Guogong didn't speak, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly felt a sense of revenge.
After adjusting his mood, Grandpa Guo asked depressedly: "Hmph, forget it, is there anything else to ask?" ”
Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and asked, "What's so much that the emperor is more afraid of?" ”
Hearing this question, Liang Guogong was stunned and asked, "It seems that he said enough?" ”
"I didn't say anything, I just said some things briefly, but I didn't explain it."
"Hmph, that's what he thinks, he used to be very good, so good that my father was very optimistic about him, but the power of the family gate valve is beyond our imagination, so he chose to compromise. Be careful, though, you've been too high-profile lately, and I'm afraid they're going to do something to you. ”
"The kids will pay attention."
……
The father and son exchanged pleasantries for a while before Xiao Jingxuan retired and left. After leaving the study, Xiao Jingxuan went to his mother's courtyard.
After chatting with his mother for a while, Xiao Jingxuan left with Yan Shu'er.
After Xiao Jingxuan left the mansion, under the protection of his personal guards, he rushed towards the Hou Mansion in a carriage.
It was almost midday, and it was already dark. Horse-drawn carriages drove down the streets.
At this time, the streets were quiet. Xiao Jingxuan felt bad, and said to the guards through the carriage: "It's a little wrong, be careful, withdraw to the Guogong Mansion." ”
Unfortunately, it was too late, and when the carriage stopped, a large number of crossbowmen appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street, shooting arrows at the carriage.
Seeing the attack, all the guards drew their sabers and guarded around the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Jingxuan hugged Yan Shu'er tightly, afraid that she would be hurt.
Before the rain of arrows from the Assassins was over, a large number of Assassins jumped from the roof and launched a strong attack on Xiao Jingxuan.
Xiao Jingxuan was also a little anxious after seeing the scene outside through the car window.
At this time, Yan Shu'er held Xiao Jingxuan's hand and said, "Xuan Lang, you forgot, I'm not a weak woman, you go to help first, I'll protect Chu'er." ”
Xiao Jingxuan stared at Yan Shu'er and said, "Okay, you must be careful." ”
With that, he took his sword and killed the assassin.
There were quite a few assassins, and Xiao Jingxuan glanced around, there were at least a hundred assassins.
For the assassins in front of him, Xiao Jingxuan didn't dwell too much, and had to deal with the archers first.
With a slight leap, Xiao Jingxuan flew to the roof and launched an attack on the archers.
The strength of the assassins is generally not strong, probably only the strength of the early stage of the Returning One Realm. Xiao Jingxuan had a sword in his hand at this time, so he naturally didn't take these people seriously.
Not to mention, the treasure knife in his hand is too handy, although it is a little heavy, but the power is huge.
None of these archers could survive a single move in Xiao Jingxuan's hands. Just when Xiao Jingxuan's killing was rising, suddenly, his heart was alert.
No, Xiao Jingxuan immediately flew to the side. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
I saw a sharp arrow pass directly through Xiao Jingxuan's chest. Xiao Jingxuan rolled to the side of the roof at this time, and after covering the wound, Xiao Jingxuan looked in the direction where the bow and arrow were fired.
I saw three people standing on the roof of the house opposite. Each of the three wore a face on his head. Dressed in nightwear. It seems to be the leader of this group of assassins.
Although Xiao Jingxuan was hit by an arrow, his injuries were not serious. Armed with a knife, Xiao Jingxuan attacked the three assassin leaders.
At this time, Xiao Jingxuan didn't care whether there were any residents downstairs of the assassin, so he directly put a big move and slashed in the air.
The three assassins also cooperated tacitly, and the two behind attacked directly towards Daogang, and one of the assassins in the center immediately bent his bow and arrows, and shot three more arrows at this Xiao Jingxuan.
Looking at the bow and arrows flying towards him, Xiao Jingxuan had no choice but to fly back towards the way he came. Then, after landing on the ground, he used the sword in his hand to cut off the three arrows one after another.
These three are masters, Xiao Jingxuan immediately performed light skills, flew to the side of the dead minions, picked up the bow and arrow, and immediately shot at the three of them.
Xiao Jingxuan's archery skills are not bad. After shooting a few arrows at the three of them, Xiao Jingxuan took the opportunity to attack the three of them again.
Just as Xiao Jingxuan was about to attack the three assassins, a voice suddenly came from downstairs. "Stop."
Xiao Jingxuan looked downstairs and saw that he had eaten a lot, and his personal guards, Yan Shu'er and the maid Chu'er had all been taken down by the assassins.
I saw the assassin downstairs say to Xiao Jingxuan: "Xiao Jingxuan, put down your weapon, I will spare the lives of your subordinates and your woman." ”
Xiao Jingxuan looked at the thirty guards, but now there are only eight left, and all of them are injured, Yan Shu'er's condition is not good, and she was also stabbed.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingxuan smiled miserably: "Let them go, if you want to kill them, I will never resist." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan threw the weapon in his hand to the ground. I'm going to get caught.
At this time, Yan Shu'er hurriedly said to Xiao Jingxuan: "Xuan Lang, see you in the next life." ”
After saying that, he hit the enemy's knife edge and wiped his neck directly. At this time, several of the captured guards also shouted: "General, avenge us." ”
After saying that, the remaining eight guards committed suicide one after another. Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were red, and there were only two words in his mind, that is, revenge.
Xiao Jingxuan's hand moved downward. The treasure knife flew into Xiao Jingxuan's hand. Then, Xiao Jingxuan began to kill the assassin.
At this time, Xiao Jingxuan fought for his life in every move, regardless of defense, even if the enemy's weapons were attacked in front of Xiao Jingxuan, Xiao Jingxuan did not return the knife to save himself.
Xiao Jingxuan is currently killing, killing, killing. Perhaps it was the power of anger, but the assassin at this time did not have the enemy of Xiao Jingxuan. All of them were cut in two by Xiao Jingxuan.
Including the three Assassin leaders. Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's murderous appearance, those assassins were a little scared, and they didn't even dare to step forward.
However, there is no need for them to step forward, Xiao Jingxuan will not let go of a person.
In less than half an hour, all of the assassins had collapsed in pools of blood. After seeing that the assassins were all destroyed, Xiao Jingxuan dragged his seriously injured body and staggered to the corpses of everyone.
Looking at the guards who followed him through the battlefield, Xiao Jingxuan choked up and said, "Brothers, go all the way, I will avenge you." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan came to Yan Shu'er's face, Xiao Jingxuan squatted down and held Yan Shu'er's body in his arms.
Xiao Jingxuan's tears finally flowed out. Straightened the hair on Yan Shu'er's forehead that was somewhat disheveled.
Xiao Jingxuan hugged Yan Shu'er like this, and after a while, the soldiers of the city defense battalion finally arrived.
Seeing the generals led by him shouting there, Xiao Jingxuan was irritable for no reason.
With his left hand, he picked up the sword on the ground and swung it into the air at the general. The phrase "Damn" came out of his mouth. ”
I saw a sword gang directly shatter the general. Xiao Jingxuan didn't even look at the general, but just whispered to Yan Shu'er.
Although Yan Shu'er was arranged by her master, Yan Shu'er was really good to Xiao Jingxuan, and she was wholeheartedly towards Xiao Jingxuan.
Perhaps, Xiao Jingxuan doesn't love him, but it is indeed the person closest to Xiao Jingxuan.
Maybe it was excessive sadness, maybe it was the recurrence of an old injury, at this time, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly had a splitting headache.
Xiao Jingxuan, who was in pain, shouted at the sky. After another moment, the people of the Guogong Mansion finally arrived.
The person who came was Liang Guogong. saw the corpse in one place, and saw the sad son and Yan Shu'er in Xiao Jingxuan's arms.
This angry Liang Guogong finally broke out. shouted at the guards beside him: "Order, urgently transfer Liangzhou Iron Cavalry into Beijing." I want to see who dares to attack my son, quickly, not quickly. ”
At this time, Liang Guogong was really sad and angry, seeing the son he raised, the young Huafa.
Liang Guogong walked to Xiao Jingxuan's side and whispered, "Xuan'er, why don't you go back to the Gongfu first." ”
Xiao Jingxuan didn't answer, just silently hugged Yan Shu'er.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's appearance, Liang Guogong didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only stand like this, accompanying his silent son.
Until dawn, everyone was standing here, and at this time, Xiao Jingxuan moved, Xiao Jingxuan hugged Yan Shu'er and staggered to his feet.
Xiao Jingxuan smiled and said to Guogong: "Let my father bother, my son is fine, my son will go back to the house first, and I will come to visit my father another day." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan hugged Yan Shu'er and walked towards the Hou Mansion.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan return home, Liang Guogong hurriedly arranged for people to follow and protect.
Xiao Jingxuan hugged Yan Shu'er like this, all the way from Dongmen Street to his mansion.
Along the way, many pedestrians and vendors pointed at Xiao Jingxuan, but Xiao Jingxuan didn't care.
After arriving at the mansion, Xiao Jingxuan came to his courtyard with Yan Shu'er in his arms, and after putting Yan Shu'er on the bed, Xiao Jingxuan squatted on the side of the bed, took Yan Shu'er's hand and said: "Shu'er, don't worry, I will avenge you, no matter who it is, I promise, I will let him die all over the house, and I will cut him with a thousand knives." ”
