"There are assassins, protect your lordship!"

The soldiers behind immediately surrounded him, and there were also some brocade guards and secret guards who came with Chu Wuxie, and at this time they all drew their swords to block, and there was a "clanging" collision sound on the empty road.

Chu Wuxian's face was cold, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he shouted: "Don't panic, people are behind the dirt slope, go around to the back and force them out." ”

"Yes!"

The brocade guards took the order and left, and soon there was a sound of fighting behind the dirt slopes on both sides.

Xin Xing rode his horse to Chu Wuxian's side and said in a low voice: "Master, it's the killer of Southern Xinjiang!" ”

Chu Wu hated his head, "It's expected." ”

"Whoosh-"

An arrow shot straight at Chu Wuxian's head from the side at an extremely tricky angle.

Chu Wuxian didn't look back, leaned back slightly, raised his hand and grabbed the arrow accurately, the arrow cluster was glowing with a faint light, and his face turned cold: "The arrow is poisonous, be careful!" ”

"Ahh

"Poisonous!"

After a while, a lot of people fell.

Chu Wuxian's eyes sank, "Xin Xing, get off the horse." ”

"Yes."

The two turned over and dismounted, and the next moment a line of black-clothed people suddenly popped out of the snowdrifts on both sides, if it was usually under the cover of the night, the black-clothed clothes were really not easy to find, but the previous snow had not melted, and new snow was added, and the surroundings were white, and these black-clothed clothes were simply live targets.

Chu Wuxian pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist with his backhand, the embroidered spring knife was thin and fast, and it was impenetrable to the wind in his hand, like a bright moon, and blood splashed between the flickering cold light.

The dusty white snow instantly became a few more reds.

The sound of screams, fights, and the sound of weapons cutting flesh were intertwined, and people were dizzy to hear it.

"So many assassins, are you crazy? It can't be that all the details have been transferred, right? ”

"Their target is the adults, are they trying to prevent the adults from going to the frontier?"

"It's not nonsense, the adults went to the frontier to stabilize the situation, it's not a good thing for southern Xinjiang, but I feel that their assassination came a little suddenly, wouldn't it be better to wait for us to go farther and come back?"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and something flashed in Chu Wuxian's mind when he heard this, and he was caught by someone after a moment of distraction.

A dark arrow struck from behind and aimed at Chu Wuxian's heart.

"Master, be careful!" Xin Zhi was entangled by several black-clothed people, a little far away, he couldn't do it in a hurry, and in a fit of rage, he cut off the head of the person in front of him, "Get out-"

Chu Wuxian came back to his senses, and when he noticed that he wanted to hide, suddenly a whip broke through the air, and he stopped the hidden arrow, flicked it one by one, and returned the same way.

"Ahh

The attacking Assassin was shot through the heart with an arrow and killed instantly.

Chu Wuxian and Xin Xing looked up, and saw a person coming on horseback in the air, and a whip swept out, directly whipping the person upside down and flying out.

It stands to reason that after the whip hits someone, the injury is not very serious and they can still get up, but these people began to foam at the mouth, and rolled their eyes after two convulsions.

"Only you can poison?"

The cold voice made people shudder.

Whether it was the assassin or the soldiers of the five-color battalion, they were all shocked, where did such a cold-faced beauty come from?

Xin Xing shouted in surprise: "Xin Wu? What are you doing here? ”

Xin Zi generation, it turned out to be Hou Ye's person.

The people of the five-color camp and the brocade guard are relieved, just come with friends.

"Why are you here?" Chu Wuxian dealt with the assassin beside him and looked at her with a blank face.

Xin Wu jumped off the horse and said in a cold voice: "The subordinates are here to protect the master." ”

"I'm not letting you stay in the princess's mansion—"

"That's what the princess meant, too." Xin Wu interrupted Chu Wu's words, his eyes were bright, "The princess said that the front line is more dangerous than Jindu, and the master needs subordinates more. ”

Chu Wuxian was silent.

He naturally understands this truth, but truth is truth, and selfishness is selfishness.

What else did he want to say, Xin Wu said in a low voice: "It seems that something happened to Jindu, not long after his subordinates left the city, they heard that Jindu was under martial law, and they had to be checked by the Imperial Forest Army when they entered and exited, and suspicious people were not allowed to enter the palace, and they were still arresting." ”

Xin Xing frowned, "What do you mean?" Catch whom? ”

Xin Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but I tried to send a letter to the people in Jindu, but I couldn't send it in, and there was no reply, I'm afraid that something will happen to the princess's mansion." ”

"What? So what to do? Xin Xing immediately turned his head to look at Chu Wuxian, "Master...... Shall we go back? ”

Xin Wu was also looking at him.

Chu Wuxian looked in the direction of Jindu with an uncertain expression.

"Master......" Xin Xing wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he could say, on one side was his sweetheart, and on the other hand, tens of thousands of people on the border, how to choose was very disheartening!

He looked at Chu Wuxian's face and did not change, but the hand on his side was clenched tightly, the green tendons were bursting up, and the joints were tense and white, as if he was trying his best to endure it.

Xin Wu said bluntly: "Master, do you want to turn back?" The subordinates feel that the overall situation is important. ”

"Xin Wu—" Xin Xing glanced at her disapprovingly.

Xin Wu didn't look at him, and said without changing his face against Chu Wuxian's deep eyes: "The princess is a princess in the end, and she can't succeed to the throne, those people have no reason to kill her, and if she is in her hands, she can still hold you hostage, so the princess has no worries about her life, so there is no need to worry too much." But the frontier is different, and the fate of tens of thousands of people in southern Xinjiang is like a mustard in the eyes of the people of southern Xinjiang, and no one will be afraid of them. ”

"If the border is lost, and the southern Xinjiang is driven straight in, there will only be more deaths, and the master should know better than his subordinates."

I don't know when the fighting around me stopped, and the few remaining assassins wanted to run away when they saw that the situation was not good, Chu Wuxian threw a backhand knife and cut off a person's neck, and the blood splashed fell on the tail of his eyes, and he wiped it with his thumb, and his eyes suddenly became red.

He let go of his hand, turned to find his horse, and leaped up on the stirrup, "Keep going, speed up!" ”

Xin Wu is right, even if Jianing is controlled by others in Jindu, he will not worry about his life, but the border war cannot be delayed, if he abandons the people at this juncture, Jianing will also look down on him, his Jianing is the general's daughter.

The sound of horses' hooves returned, leaving behind a field of severed limbs and red blood.

No one looked back, even if there were brothers they had fought side by side.

Because there are many more people waiting for them on the road ahead.

……

Just after the fifteenth day, the streets and alleys of Jindu have been deserted, the people are closed, and the inns and restaurants have turned off their lights early.

Hurried footsteps sounded in the empty streets, torches were connected, like a snake jumping from the palace to the outside of the palace, and finally stopped in front of the princess's mansion and the Chu mansion.

"Go in and search for me!"

General Liu, who was the leader, shouted, and immediately stepped forward without knowing whether he was alive or dead, but before they could touch the door, the door was pushed open from the inside, and Qingtao stood in the middle in a light cyan jacket, his little face was tense, and he asked, "Who dare to me?" ”

"This is the mansion of the eldest princess of Rongding, and now it is the mansion of Princess Jianing, but the first emperor gave His Majesty an inscription, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to be wild here? Don't they all have nine heads? ”
