Chapter 8: Xiao Yan's Identity

"Well, Hongu thinks, I should be afraid...... It should be him. ”

Of course, Chu Yi was not afraid, she even took a step forward and approached the figure on the ground.

Yu Bing stepped forward and silently took back his soft sword from Chu Yao's hand and put it back in its scabbard.

In the rear of the side, Liu Cheng, the right lieutenant of the Yulin Army who had escorted Xiao Yan before, led Wu Yangyang and his party to rush over, and shouted from afar: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't get close, this person is an assassin of Yongguo!" ”

"What!" Chu Yao was startled, and even stopped in front of Chu Yi, his eyes full of vigilance, "Little Liu, you hurry back." ”

Liu Cheng stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the Fifth Highness, Princess Yongning." ”

His hands were covered in blood, and the scabbard around his waist was also stained with blood, and it was obvious that the person who was seriously injured on the ground was his handwriting.

"You stay away from the main hall, it's really dirty," Chu Yao looked at Liu Cheng with disgust on his face, and turned his head to comfort Chu Yi with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoliu, with your brother here, the assassin can't hurt you." ”

Chu Yi's eyes fell on a man behind Liu Cheng.

The murderous intent in her eyes flashed, hidden very deeply, but her lips curled slightly.

The man was wearing a red regular clothes, his figure was tall and majestic, he looked like he was in his thirties, and he had a pair of dark brown eagle eyes, looking at Chu Yi with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Liu Cheng picked up the belt of the unconscious man on the ground with the back of his knife and explained:

"The two highnesses don't know, this Yongguo assassin stood on the official road with a sword, waiting for the nobles to be assassinated, such a rampant person died innocently, fortunately, the minister sent Xu Houye to the Zhonghe Hall to find it in time, and he took it down in three moves...... By the way, this is the leader of the envoys who came to envoy Dayan from Yongguo, Marquis Xu of Qingyuan, Yongguo. ”

Chu Yi's index finger on his side curled up, pressed the hatred in his heart, stared at Xu Xiang, and said: "You said that the assassin is from Yongguo, and now most of the people in Yongguo in Beijing are from the mission, that is to say, the assassin was sent by this Marquis Xu?" ”

Xu Xiang, Marquis of Qingyuan, was one of the generals of the Yongguo Kingdom who later attacked Shangjing City to burn, kill and loot, and slaughter the royal family and innocent people!

It was also he who took Zhuxue captive as a concubine, and hung the heads of his father and the crown prince above the city gate.

The enemy was close at hand, and Chu Yi's consciousness was very sober.

She's going to have to kill him, no matter how she does, no matter if he hasn't done that at the moment.

"Don't misunderstand, princess, although this assassin is dressed as Dayong, Ben Hou doesn't know it at all, what's more, Dayong came to form an alliance with Yan Guo this time, how could he send someone to assassinate you nobles in broad daylight."

Xu Xiao didn't know why Chu Yi was targeting him, so he hurriedly explained, staring at her without blinking.

This princess of Yan Kingdom was born so beautifully, it is unforgettable.

Liu Cheng: "Then break the assassin's hands and feet first, and bring him back for interrogation." ”

"That's very good." Xu Xiang only looked at Chu Yi's face, and didn't care about the life or death of the "assassin".

Chu Yi's eyebrows frowned, judging from Xu Xiang's reaction, the people on the ground should really have nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Chu Yi saw the assassin's face clearly and reacted suddenly.

"He's not an assassin."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the side, attracting everyone's attention.

She followed the prestige and saw Xiao Yan standing on the edge of the corridor, staring at the unconscious man on the ground.

Behind him were two Yan Guoyu Lin soldiers escorting him.

Xiao Yan was still wearing yesterday's dark clothes, his face was cold and white, his thin lips were extremely light, his phoenix eyes were faint, and his eyes were glowing with a light black color, looking ghostly and gloomy.

Chu Yi subconsciously looked at the soles of Xiao Yan's feet, and didn't see blood under his feet again.

The man who fell to the ground woke up groaning, raised his head, and could vaguely distinguish his delicate facial features, but he was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, which was very miserable.

Where is he an assassin, he is clearly Xiao Yan's right-hand man, and in the future, the commander of the army of the Yuwang Mansion - Jiang Zhiying!

It's just that Chu Yi's impression of the shadow is blind in one eye, and his left eye wears an eye patch all the year round, and he is silent......

Chu Yi's pupils condensed slightly, could it be that the eyes of the shadow were blind at this time?

"I, I'm not an assassin, I'm Gongzi Yan's entourage, I came to Yan Kingdom with the mission, I'm just waiting for Gongzi here." The shadow struggled to explain, and blood stained the ground beneath him.

"Those who pass here are His Majesty's concubines and children, and you must have bad intentions when you wait here with a sword! What's more, you said that you are a member of the mission, who can prove it, Marquis Xu, do you know him? ”

Liu Cheng disdainfully lowered the blade of the blade to the neck of the shadow.

Xu Xiang said with a confused face: "There are a large number of envoys to your country this time, and it is difficult for Benhou to distinguish them for a while." ”

"Marquis Qingyuan, he is my entourage, I can testify myself."

Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze from the shadow and looked at Xu Xiang, his cool eyes glowing with a layer of red.

Liu Cheng said: "What Xiao Proton said, there is no integrity in our Dayan, and this matter still needs to be proved by Hou Ye Xu." ”

Holding his stabbed arm, he weakly explained: "I, if I am really an assassin, how can I not resist in the face of you, but let you ......"

He didn't dare to resist, if he resisted, he would really become an assassin in the palace of Yan Kingdom, so he could only be caught by Liu Cheng and others, but he found that Liu Cheng was really indiscriminately killed, so he desperately struggled to escape to the side of the road.

Liu Cheng: "That's the strength of Captain Bendu's martial arts, and you can't resist." ”

"Ben Hou really can't remember," Xu Xiang's eyes were gloomy, and he said lightly, "Childe give Ben Hou some time and let Ben Hou think about it." ”

Think about it, and how long will you think about it?

A quarter of an hour, an hour, or the blood of the shadow is drained here.

Xiao Yan's palm on his side suddenly clenched into a fist, driving the stinging pain of the wound on his muscles and bones.

Chu Yao looked at this farce and said in a low voice: "Little Liu, do you think that person is an assassin or not?" ”

Chu Yi said lightly: "I'm not blind. ”

There won't really be any Yongguo assassins who dare to blatantly carry a sword and assassinate them at the gate of the palace corridor, right?

"Brother Wei heard that Xu Xiang is the uncle of the three princes of Yongguo, and the identity of Gongzi Yan is ...... Xu Xiang is afraid that he would die in our Dayan, so that the three princes can have one less opponent. ”

Chu Yao said with emotion, looking at Xiao Yan's eyes showing a little disgust.

Chu Yi frowned and grabbed Chu Yao's pigtails: "Chu Yao, are you hostile to Xiao Yan?" ”

Chu Yao let her pull it, nodding without any disguise, he smiled handsome and uninhibited, but at the moment he had a cold face:

"Yes, Xiaoliu, you don't know about the court, then Xiao Jixing put us together, saying that he sent his son as a hostage, but it was the son of the first emperor, but the wood has been completed, after all, our Yan Kingdom won the battle, and peace talks are the most important thing, and the father doesn't care about them."

Xiao Jixing is the Emperor of Yongguo, Chu Yi heard Chu Yao's words, his red lips pursed slightly, and he said word by word: "I know." ”

Xiao Yan's identity, she knows better than anyone else.

It is true that Xiao Yan is the prince of Yongguo, but he is not the prince of the current Yongguo Emperor Xiao Jixing, but the son of Xiao Ji'an, the first emperor of Yongguo.

Xiao Ji'an died that year, and the only prince Xiao Yan was not made the crown prince before this, but his imperial uncle Xiao Jixing took out his will and ascended the throne from the emperor's younger brother.

Since then, Xiao Yan has become an unspeakable taboo in the Yongguo royal family.

He was abandoned by his homeland and sent to Yan Kingdom, which was a fate he couldn't choose.
