Xiao Jiwei naturally would not refuse.

When he first arrived in Beihan, he was not familiar with everything here, and the king of Nanyang was obviously ordered by the emperor to greet him, and there was no harm to him, so it was right to follow his arrangement.

The border town they live in is called Hucheng, the place is not big, but the people are very enthusiastic, perhaps because there are few people from Dayan here, especially these young people who look so good, they have attracted a lot of onlookers wherever they go, especially Xiao Jiwei, who was given a lot of flowers by the girls.

Encountering such a scene for the first time, Rao is Xiao Jiwei was also a little overwhelmed, and the king of Nanyang laughed when he saw it.

"Your Highness, don't see it, although you have half of the Northern Han blood, you have grown up in Dayan since you were a child, and because your wife is from Dayan, this looks more like a southerner, so the girls appreciate it so much!"

Hearing King Nanyang's words, Wen Xun'er couldn't help but sigh: "Why doesn't he have flowers to pick me up?" Don't you people like women who look in the south? ”

King Nanyang laughed: "My nephew's temperament is quite similar to our Beihan people!" ”

Wen Xun'er shrugged her shoulders: "Being given flowers is not something to be seen or not, there is nothing bad to say!" ”

"Madame doesn't know!" The person who came was the maidservant of the king of Nanyang, and she said in a non-standard Da Yan dialect, "Mrs. is to pull her hair, Beihan is the same as Da Yan, and pulling her hair means that she is already a wife, especially in the south, there are many restrictions on women, so whenever you meet a southern woman who pulls her hair, it is more desirable, and no man dares to send flowers!" One is afraid of insulting the woman's innocence, and the other is afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings! ”

Wen Xun'er just understood.

Walking through the long street, I met many fire-related performances, and on this cold day, there were actually people performing juggling bare-chested, which made people feel cold just by looking at it.

In addition to these, there are also some entertainment programs that only exist in the south, and the maidservant of the king of Nanyang said that because it is close to Da Yan, occasionally people from Da Yan will come here to do business, so there will be some things from Da Yan Country.

After shopping for two days in a row, on the third day, Wen Xun'er was so tired that she just wanted to stay in the inn to rest.

King Nanyang originally prepared other programs, but when he saw this, he also canceled it temporarily, thinking that he would be in a hurry tomorrow, so he gave everyone a day of free time.

Xiao Jiwei was idle for a while, so he accompanied Wen Xun'er to stay in the inn for a day.

That night, the birdsong continued outside the window, and Wen Xun'er couldn't sleep for a while.

She tossed and turned for a long time, then simply sat up and found something, intending to drive the birds away.

Xiao Jiwei slept under the bed, and after being awakened by her, he came to the window with her.

It's just that the two of them just came to the window, but they saw a cold light flashing outside the window, Wen Xun'er hadn't reacted yet, but Xiao Jiwei took the first step to cover her mouth and dragged her behind the window.

Wen Xun'er looked at Xiao Jiwei with palpitations, Xiao Jiwei made a silent gesture at her, then let go of his hand and took out the dagger he had been carrying with him in his sleeve.

The lattice was pushed open a small slit, and something came in from the outside, blowing smoke into the room.

Wen Xun'er saw it clearly.

Isn't this the incense that is often shown on TV?

She looked at Xiao Jiwei.

Xiao Jiwei motioned for her to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and waited until the movement outside disappeared, then he grabbed a pair of scissors and stuffed them into Wen Xun'er's hand.

"Hide!"

He gestured to Wen Xun'er with his mouth.

Wen Xun'er nodded, walked around to the back of the bed, and hid in the corner.

At the same time, there was a sudden movement outside, and the sound of a fight was heard.

As if it were a signal, the person outside the window immediately pushed open the window and jumped in, going straight to the bed.

Xiao Jiwei confirmed that there was no one outside, so he went directly behind the man, covered his mouth and cut his throat, and the person was directly solved by him, and then he dragged the person's body to the side and continued to sneak into the corner.

"Giggles!"

A few bird calls could be heard outside the window.

This time, Wen Xun'er realized that this sound was not a bird's call, but an artificial pretence, that is to say, it was this voice that woke her up before!

This group of people is really treacherous, and the one who can do the assassination mission here must be the Northern Han royal family!

Thinking of this, her eyebrows furrowed, she didn't expect that someone would be assassinated just after arriving at the border, and she didn't know how many crises she would encounter along the way!

The people outside did not hear the movement, and immediately tried to push the window to enter, but when he saw the blood on the ground, he immediately realized that something was wrong, turned around and wanted to leave.

Where would Xiao Jiwei let go of such an opportunity, he directly grabbed his scream, and stabbed the man's calf with a knife, and the man fell directly from the second floor screaming.

Although it is not fatal, it is enough for him to go down to such a high place!

Xiao Jiwei immediately closed the window, locked it from the inside, and then pulled Wen Xun'er out of the door.

The fight outside the house was particularly fierce.

When I came out, I saw people in black all over the corridor, and whether there were people in black pouring out of various rooms, obviously climbing in from the window!

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was leading people to fight, but the aisle was too small to play, and he was at a disadvantage for a while.

"Protect Your Highness!"

Zhang Yuan gave an order, and everyone gathered towards the location of Xiao Jiwei's room, Xiao Jiwei closed the door and came to the window again, and when he opened the window and looked down, he found that there were more than one or two people in black outside.

"The inn should be surrounded! We have nowhere to go! ”

The person who fell just now fell directly and fainted, and now he is lying down below.

"This group of people is strong in martial arts and is a professional killer!"

From the vicious moves of those people, Xiao Jiwei had already judged that this group of people was not easy to deal with!

At this moment, Chunsheng hurriedly pushed the door in: "Your Highness, madam, come with me!" King Nanyang has prepared the carriage for us, right in the backyard! ”

Xiao Jiwei hurriedly took Wen Xun'er out.

A group of three people came to the opposite room, and went down from the opposite window, which happened to be the backyard of the inn.

"Jump!" Wen Xun'er looked at the tree on the side, judged the location, and sure enough, let Xiao Ji jump first.

"You go down first! Chunsheng, and then Madame! ”

Chunsheng responded, and jumped directly onto the big tree below, the big tree was only one step away from the window, it was not difficult, and Wen Xun'er himself had some skills, so it was naturally not a problem.

She jumped up the tree and walked with Chunsheng.

But at this moment, someone rushed in at the door, saw them running away, and threw a long sword directly towards the window, Xiao Jiwei turned sideways to avoid it, and the person was also killed by a sword in the back.

It's Zhang Yuan.

He looked at Xiao Jiwei: "Your Highness, go quickly!" ”

He closed the door and barricaded it, fighting the Assassins.

Xiao Jiwei immediately stepped on the windowsill and jumped down from the tree.

The three of them came to the carriage in the backyard together.

Qiu Yue was already inside, but there was blood on her body, I don't know if she was scared, the whole person was trembling, and when she saw Wen Xun'er coming in, she immediately hugged Wen Xun'er and cried: "Miss, are you okay?" So many dead people! ”

"I'm fine!" Wen Xun'er comforted her, "Are you hurt?" ”

Qiu Yue shook her head: "Someone else's blood!" ”

Wen Xun'er was relieved.

At this moment, there was movement outside the carriage, and Xiao Jiwei lifted the curtain to look out, and saw that some of the assassins were chasing in the direction of the carriage on horseback.

He immediately wrinkled his eyebrows.

The carriage will definitely not outrun the horse, and in this way, sooner or later it will be overtaken! Especially since a few of them don't know martial arts!

Fortunately, their men appeared in time to stop the wave of assassins, and the danger was temporarily lifted.

Chunsheng drove in front.

He didn't know the way, so he instinctively ran towards the road.

On the other side, the king of Nanyang finally escaped, got into another carriage, and saw Xiao Jiwei and his party disappearing at this intersection, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go over there, at least disperse the troops for His Highness!" ”

Xiao Jiwei and Wen Xun'er fled in a hurry, and they didn't put on their coats.

Fortunately, there was a thin blanket in the carriage, and although the three of them were squeezed, they could temporarily avoid the cold.

Wen Xun'er was so cold that she shivered: "They only started on the third day, it seems that this group of people has been staring at us for several days!" ”

Xiao Jiwei's face was gloomy, and when she saw Wen Xun'er trembling, she reached out and took her into her arms, Wen Xun'er was really cold, so she didn't struggle, she motioned to Qiuyue on the other side to hug her.

The three of them snuggled up like this, and Wen Xun'er heard this: "There was a chase just after arriving in Hucheng, and I am afraid that there are only a lot more assassins on the road behind!" ”

Xiao Ji lowered his gaze: "It seems that we can't go with Uncle Huang and them!" ”

The more people, the bigger the goal!

"Phew—"

Ahead, Chunsheng suddenly stopped his horse.

"Temple...... Your Highness, there are so many people! ”

Xiao Jiwei opened the curtain and took a look, only to find that there were twenty or thirty masked black-clothed people in front of him, completely blocking everyone's way.

"Retreat!"

He gave the order decisively.

Chunsheng quickly turned his horse's head and galloped away in another direction, while the assassin in front of him also moved, heading straight in the direction of the carriage.

There are so many assassins that there is no way to avoid them.

"Wen Xun'er, listen, the person they want to arrest is me, I'll go down to lure away the pursuers later, how far you run!"

Wen Xun'er grabbed him: "Then aren't you throwing yourself into the net?" ”

Xiao Ji's eyes paused dangerously: "Didn't you say that I belonged to the millennium of scourge?" Don't worry, I won't die! ”

With that, he went to the front of the car, intending to find an opportunity to jump.

But at this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and it was Zhang Yuan and his party!

Wen Xun'er was overjoyed: "We are saved!" ”

Xiao Jiwei looked at the person in front of him, but his face did not soften.

Zhang Yuan and his party are naturally strong in martial arts, but the assassins in the rear are well-trained at a glance, and they look more powerful than the group of people in the inn.

But it is the mission of this group of people to protect him.

When the two groups of people killed together, Zhang Yuan ordered one group of people to follow the carriage, and the other group of people stayed to fight.

The sound of the fight gradually faded away, and the carriage also ran to a hill, and Chunsheng had no idea where the group had been, but only stopped the carriage after making sure that it was safe all around.

The guards found a cave.

Wen Xun'er twisted her foot when she jumped from a tree just now. There's no way to walk at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiwei squatted down directly in front of him.

"Come up."

Wen Xun'er didn't want to be hypocritical at this time, so she went directly to his back.

Xiao Jiwei carried her on her back and followed everyone and walked directly into the forest.

Inside the cave, the guards had already lit a fire.

Wen Xun'er and Qiu Yue were so cold that they couldn't do it, they shivered all over, and when they were illuminated by the firelight, the cold suddenly drove away a lot.

"Your Highness, clothes!"

It was a few guards' uniforms, apparently taken off by the guards outside.

Xiao Jiwei wrapped Wen Xun'er in clothes, and then looked at her legs.

"Bring the legs over."

He grabbed Wen Xun'er's feet, took off her shoes and socks, and examined her injured leg.

Wen Xun'er sprained her leg when she jumped from a tree, and she heard a click at that time, guessing that she must have injured the bones inside.

"It hurts!"

was pinched to the injury by Xiao Jiwei, and Wen Xun'er poured a few breaths of cool air.

Xiao Jiwei's eyes were cold.

"Chunsheng went find some wood."

When the wood arrived, Xiao Jiwei fixed Wen Xun'er's leg with a branch and looked out of the cave.

"We can't stay here for long, we have to find a doctor."

"It's not safe in the city now, and if you go out and encounter another assassin, it's better to stay here and find a doctor tomorrow when it gets dark."

Xiao Jiwei looked at Wen Xun'er: "Can you hold it?" ”

"I can do it." Wen Xun'er's face turned white.

Xiao Jiwei tightened his lips, and after thinking about it again, he finally did not refute again.

When I was completely relaxed, I realized that my leg was really painful. Wen Xun'er woke up several times in pain throughout the night, and she didn't want to drag everyone back because of her injured leg, so she didn't say anything.

Xiao Jiwei obviously felt it, he had always slept shallowly.

So when Wen Xun'er turned over again, he woke up.

"Wait a minute."

He walked out of the cave, not knowing what he had done. When I came back in, I had something in my hand.

Looking closely, Wen Xun'er realized that it was snow wrapped in leaves.

Sticking the leaves on Wen Xun'er's injured leg, the latter immediately felt a cold attack, and the pain of the hot wound immediately eased a lot.

After that, Xiao Jiwei would change the melted snowflakes every once in a while, and after a whole night, his eyes were red, but Wen Xun'er actually slept a whole night in the second half of the night.

Early the next morning, the group went down the mountain road to find a doctor in the city.

As soon as they entered the city, they found that the streets were full of officers and soldiers, and the inn where they rested last night was directly sealed, and seeing the corpses carried out from it, there were assassins and their people, and a group of guards gradually turned red.

They followed Zhang Yuan and chased Xiao Jiwei as brothers in life and death, and now, seeing their brother die tragically, how could they not be sad?

Xiao Ji watched this scene in the carriage. The cold under his eyes can no longer be hidden.

Wen Xun'er sat on the side, and really felt the chill emanating from his body.

Finally found the doctor.

After the doctor checked Wen Xun'er's legs, he rejoiced: "Thanks to Madame's legs with ice water, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy." ”

Wen Xun'er remembered that Xiao Jiwei had dressed his leg all night last night, and couldn't help but look at him again.

"And how long will it take for my lady's leg to heal?" He asked the doctor.

The doctor laughed: "Lang Jun doesn't have to worry, it's just that after a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, Madame's legs will definitely have to be repaired for a while." ”

Wen Xun'er sighed, it's easy to say that you hurt your legs, but it's really a trouble to hurt your legs, and you have to have people carry them when you go out.

By the time the doctor had finished bandaging his legs, the guards had already fetched their clothes from the inn.

Xiao Jiwei sent Wen Xun'er to the carriage, and it was appropriate for Qiuyue to change her clothes.

When Wen Xun'er's clothes were changed, Xiao Jiwei also changed his clothes in the ready-to-wear store on the side, and brought a few more clothes out by the way.

"Childe, this is what you want."

Chunsheng handed a scroll to Xiao Jiwei.

Xiao Jiwei immediately got into the carriage and opened the scroll.

It turned out to be a topographic map of the Northern Cold.

Xiao Jiwei stared at the picture for a long time, drawing with his fingers from time to time, and finally found a path inside, and he instructed Chunsheng: "Take this road." ”

Haru stiffened.

"Let our guards divide into three waves, take the carriages and go to the Imperial City from three different directions."

Xiao Jiwei pointed to the three directions on the map.

Chunsheng wrote it down and hurried to find the guards.

Zhang Yuan had lost a lot of brothers after last night's battle, and his spirit was not very good at this time, and when he heard the words of Chunsheng, he looked in the direction of the carriage from a distance, and then walked over.

"Childe." He whispered to Xiao Jiwei outside the carriage, "Can we stay for a day or two before leaving, these brothers follow us all the way, from the Great Yan to the Northern Cold, born and died, I don't want them to expose their bodies to the wilderness, at least bury them before leaving." ”

Xiao Jiwei was silent for a moment.

"As it should be."

The group took the body out of the government and buried it on the spot on a nearby mountain.

Unable to engrave the inscription, they used a wordless tablet.

Wen Xun'er has been sitting in the carriage because of her limited mobility.

Just as the bodies of the group were buried, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky.

When the rain drops fell, it wet everyone's hair, as if it were the silent farewell of the guards.

Wen Xun'er was lying on the carriage, her eyes were a little red, and Qiuyue on the side had already cried into tears.

"Miss......" She threw herself into Wen Xun'er's arms, and finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

An assassin had nearly killed her last night, and it was a guard who had saved her, but the situation was so critical that she didn't even see the face of her life-saver, and because of that, she was full of guilt.

In other words, among the dead is her savior.

Wen Xun'er hugged her and didn't speak.

At this first stop, they suffered heavy casualties, and when you count them carefully, they have killed dozens of people.

After burying the guard's body, Zhang Yuan began to arrange the carriage.

But he didn't worry about Xiao Jiwei going alone, so he divided the guards into three, and he himself stayed to protect Xiao Jiwei.

Qiu Yue learned that she was going to be separated from Wen Xun'er, and her eyes were full of reluctance: "Miss, just let me follow you!" ”

"If there are too many of us, the target will be too big, and the target of the assassin is my uncle, you will be fine with Chunsheng."

Qiu Yue shook her head and refused to let go of her hand.

Wen Xun'er could only soften her voice: "Don't worry, when the crisis is over, we can meet again!" ”

At this point, Qiu Yue could only respond.

There were four wagons in total, each heading in different directions.

Zhang Yuan deliberately arranged for three guards who were about the same size as Xiao Jiwei to change into his clothes and sit in the carriage, trying to confuse the real with the fake, so that Xiao Jiwei's target was much smaller and much safer.

Except for the other three teams, the road chosen by Xiao Jiwei was the most remote and difficult to walk, and even had to cross the snow-capped mountains at one point.

It's just that in this way, Wen Xun'er's injured leg dragged back.

Got to a place where you can't go. can only ride a horse, but fortunately, Wen Xun'er's riding skills are not bad, even if he hurts his leg, he can ride a horse safely.

It's just that the weather in the north is too cold, and her hands once got frostbite.

At night, the three of them slept in the woods and roasted the fire.

Because Zhang Yuan didn't want to disturb them, he made a fire alone not far away.

He and Xiao Jiwei are two people, one is responsible for the first half of the night and the other is responsible for the second half of the night.

When Wen Xun'er was sleeping, she saw Xiao Jiwei sitting alone and looked preoccupied, so she walked over.

He put the blanket over the two of them, and then sat down beside Xiao Jiwei.

"Thinking about the Assassins?"

Xiao Jiwei turned his head to look at him. The light of the fire shone on his face, and it was extinguished.

Wen Xun'er didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing that he didn't answer, he could only say: "People can't be resurrected after death, if you are thinking about those dead guards, there may be more sacrifices on the road later." ”

Xiao Jiwei shook his head: "The danger along the way has long been foreseen, but I didn't expect these people to be so vicious, but the more vicious they are, the more afraid I am of returning to the imperial city, then I want to go back, and I will not let go of any of the people who hurt me." ”

Wen Xun'er didn't speak again.

The night wind blew whirring, with a biting chill, blowing the fire on the side to extinguish it.

Because of the cold, Wen Xun'er's whole body leaned on Xiao Jiwei, who opened his cloak, wrapped her tightly, and snuggled up to each other to keep warm.
