Chapter 41: Exclamation
The people of the eldest prince have already lost their fighting spirit because of the previous sneak attack and the escape all the way, and the nerves have been in a tense state when fleeing, so they are very tired, anyway, the assassin side is very relaxed, although they have also been fighting, but they are in a state of sneak attack, so compared to the guards of the eldest prince, both mentally and in a state are much better than the people of the eldest prince, and the situation is developing in the direction of the eldest prince's disadvantage.
Of course, the eldest prince also saw such a situation, but he had no ability to change such a situation, at this time the eldest prince hated his powerlessness, as a prince, his force value was not very high, and he couldn't help, on the contrary, he had to be guarded by two guards on both sides of him.
Soon seven or eight of the prince's guards died, while only a few on the Assassins' side were slightly wounded, and some were able to fight.
The eldest prince looked very anxious on the side, and said to the two guards beside him: "You also go over to help, I don't need your protection here, now in a time of crisis, I can protect myself." After speaking, he drew the sword at his waist and motioned for the two guards to come forward to help.
Seeing this, the eldest prince suddenly said in a hurry: "What are you doing, Your Highness has already said that I don't need your protection here, so don't you go up and help." ”
At this time, one of the guards said: "Your Highness, my brothers and I have promised the eldest brother that even if we die, we will escort Your Highness back to the barracks, and the two of us know that there is still a road to the dock, and the eldest brother said, if we encounter obstacles this time, then my brothers and sisters will escort His Highness, and the rest of His Highness, whether they live or die, we will definitely escort His Highness to the barracks at the dock safely." ”
The eldest prince was slightly stunned after hearing this, and involuntarily looked at the chief of the guard who had been in a different place, he had been guarding his own safety for many years, and now he was even more for his own head in a different place, and after his death, he also planned a way out for himself, which showed that he was loyal, and suddenly moved inexplicably moved in his heart, and thought of this assassination, thinking of his younger brother, and suddenly inexplicably angry in his heart.
The eldest prince's mother died early, raised by the Gao family since childhood, for the Gao family, the eldest prince's heart is full of gratitude and respect, and his relationship with the second prince when he was a child is also very good, but since, after the king of Qi gradually revealed the prince, the feelings of the two brothers have gradually become strange, and even to the point where they are now fighting each other, the eldest prince sometimes even thinks if they were not born in the emperor's family, what would it be, but the world has no if, so his relationship with the second prince is getting worse and worse, even though the Gao family has been mediating for the two of them, But it still can't change the situation of brotherly disagreement between the two.
The eldest prince thought in his heart, if he was given such a chance, would he do the same as the second prince? The answer is that he doesn't know, maybe he will, maybe not, but he thinks that even if he will, he will not do so much like the second prince, at most he will put him under house arrest, and he will never think of killing him, thinking of this, the eldest prince suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Huang, my brother is still not as good as you." The pain of his smile is also insufficient to be humane with outsiders.
Just when the eldest prince was full of thoughts, the eldest prince's guards fell a few people, and he also came to the edge of the battlefield under the escort of the two guards, and the two guards saw this, turned their heads and said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, quickly, let's retreat quickly, and walk along the reeds over there, there is a very hidden path in the reeds that can go directly to the barracks at the dock." ”
After hearing this, the eldest prince no longer hesitated, followed the two hurriedly waving the horsewhip, all the way to the reeds, Cang Songkui, who had been watching the battle, saw the eldest prince break away from the battle circle and fled in the direction of the reeds, and said with a slight smile: "Your Highness, Your Highness, since the old man has made a move, how can you avoid the pursuit of the old man, forget it, the old man didn't want to do anything to you, so let someone else send you on the road, I hope you go underground, don't blame the old man." ”
The eldest prince followed the two guards all the way to the direction of the reeds, during which he was most afraid of Cang Songkui to make a move on him, because he knew very well the strength of Cang Songkui, if he made a move, he would definitely die no matter how he escaped, but what made him puzzled was that until they entered the reed swing Cang Songkui was still to shoot at it, the eldest prince knew that Cang Songkui would not attack him again, and his heart was suddenly relieved, and he said secretly: "As long as Cang Songkui will not let me make a move, then I still have a chance to escape, as long as I get to the barracks at the dock, I will be safe." ”
After entering the reeds, the eldest prince obviously felt that his speed had slowed down, looked down at his feet, and saw a muddy pile under his feet, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "This road is so difficult to walk and so hidden, how did you find out?" ”
One of the guards replied: "Your Highness, the little one grew up by the lake since he was a child, and he followed his grandfather and father to fish since he was a child, and he is very clear about these roads hidden in the panic weeds. ”
The eldest prince glanced at him with great admiration and said: "After returning to the national capital, His Royal Highness will definitely be rewarded, and at the same time, I thank you for not leaving Your Highness at this time of crisis." ”
The guard Geng smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious, my father told my mother that since you are a guard, you have to be loyal to her master's family, so as not to be worthy of your identity." ”
The guard next to him also said: "Dayong is right, my father and my mother also said this to me." ”
The eldest prince heard the accents of the two and immediately asked, "Are you from the same place?" ”
Dayong was surprised: "How did Your Highness know that I am from the same village?" ”
The eldest prince smiled slightly and said, "Listening to your accent is so similar, Your Highness guessed." ”
Da Niu looked at the eldest prince with admiration and said: "My father is right, people who read are very smart, especially the people in the palace, I am really convinced, just by virtue of my and Dayong's accent, His Royal Highness can guess that we are from the same village, so powerful." ”
Dayong also nodded frequently in agreement.
Seeing that the two of them were so upright, the eldest prince suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart: "Are you smart? Are royal people really smart? Ay! The eldest prince sighed deeply in his heart.
At this time, the eldest prince seemed to have undergone some changes in his heart, looking at the two people in front of him, and thinking about himself, he was inevitably a little ashamed of himself, and sighed about the relationship between him and the second prince.
Just when the eldest prince and the two guards were running all the way to the dock, a cold young man wearing a black tights and a Tang knife pinned to his waist outside the reeds smiled slightly, and then jumped up and ran all the way to the top of the reeds, straight to the place where the eldest prince was.
Da Niu said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, not far away is the exit of the reed swing, out of this reed swing, we can go to the official road, and then along the official road, we can arrive at the barracks at the dock in half an hour." ”
After hearing this, the eldest prince was overjoyed and said, "Then let's go quickly." ”
As soon as the words fell, the eldest prince heard a gust of wind, and immediately turned his head to look, only to see a black shadow approaching them at a very fast speed, the eldest prince knew that it was an assassin, and immediately said in a hurry: "Run, it's an assassin." After saying that, he hurried and galloped.
The big bull Yu Dayong also followed closely, but in the reeds, the road was muddy, and no matter how fast the speed was, it couldn't go there, and before the princes could get out of the reeds, they were caught up.
I saw that the young man slapped out and immediately knocked the eldest prince out, and fell directly on the official road not far away, spitting blood from his mouth, Da Niu and Da Yong suddenly said in a hurry: "Your Highness." ”
However, soon Da Niu and Da Yong also followed in the footsteps of the eldest prince, and were directly kicked out by the young man, and fell next to the eldest prince, and the two of them immediately spat blood.
The black shadow also went to the official road, standing not far from the eldest prince, looking coldly at the three people who fell to the ground.
The eldest prince raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man, only to see that the man was wearing a black tights, with a red tattoo on his chest, and a sign around his neck, with a Wu character engraved on it. ”
The Huai Assassin Gang is a well-known assassin organization in the Central Plains, all the members of the gang are assassination masters, among which the leader and the top ten assassins under his command are the most famous, each assassin has its representative identity of the faction, the waist card of the code name Wu is the person in front of the great prince, the assassin black shadow, its body is weird, light work, people can only see a black shadow, to be called the black shadow by the people of the rivers and lakes, the black shadow is also by virtue of the strange body and light skills by the leader of the fifth seat of the top ten assassins.
The black shadow slowly pulled out the Tang knife on his waist, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk to the eldest prince more, he just wanted to solve his mission goal as soon as possible.
The eldest prince saw the black shadow draw out the Tang knife, his heart was already desperate, he didn't expect that he had finally arrived here, but in the end he still couldn't escape this pursuit, and he wouldn't have thought that his younger brother would even invite the assassins of the Huai Assassin Gang to kill him.
This is with the determination to kill him, the eldest prince is full of bitterness and unwillingness.
The eldest prince stood up with difficulty, and was ready to run without saying a word, but before he could move, a black shadow had appeared in front of him and stabbed him in the heart, and the eldest prince was shocked.
The black shadow kicked Dayong away, and Da Niu came up to help and was kicked out together, and the two of them suddenly fell to the ground, obviously unable to stand up.
Seeing Da Niu and Da Yong lying on the ground, the eldest prince's heart was already dead, and the speed of the black shadow just now made him feel deeply desperate, and he didn't plan to make any more resistance, even if he resisted, it was useless.
