Hearing that there were assassins, the people who were playing in the back mountains ran around in fright, and Zhao Yao and Song Jicai were scattered by the panicked crowd.

Tongxi is glad that he did not break up with His Highness, otherwise if His Highness had an accident, he would be to blame for his death.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Tongxi looked at the crowd rushing around and frowned. If they want to go back to the Taoist temple, or go down the mountain, they have to huddle with this crowd of people. In this case, maybe he and His Highness will be scattered.

Tongxi looked around, this bamboo forest was very quiet, and he could clearly hear the sound of killing and the screams of people coming from the peach forest next door.

"Your Highness, it's not safe here, let's leave quickly." The peach forest is not far from the bamboo forest, and if the assassins kill them, they won't even have a place to hide.

"It's not safe." Zhao Yao's eyes looked at the peach forest not far away, and his face was a little solemn, "Hurry up and go down the mountain." ”

Tongxi squatted down in front of Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, the slave maid carries you down the mountain." ”

As soon as Zhao Yao was about to lie on Tongxi's back, he saw several people walking towards them with Qin Xiulian in their hands. Then, they saw a group of people in night clothes following them.

"Your Highness, let's hurry up." Tongxi stood up directly and ran down the mountain with Zhao Yao in his arms.

The guards protected Qin Xiulian and ran down the mountain.

Zhao Yao glanced back and saw that the group of black-clothed men were holding swords and fiercely stabbing at the guards protecting Qin Xiulian.

A group of people in black saw Zhao Yao and them, and immediately chased after them.

Zhao Yao exclaimed: "It's not good, they want to kill people." ”

Tongxi naturally also noticed: "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave and maid are dead, and they must protect you thoroughly......"

Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of black-clothed people rushing out not far in front of him, holding swords in their hands, and in the sun, the swords in their hands glowed with a cold and dazzling light. They stabbed at Zhao Yao.

The man in black in the back has already caught up, and the man in black in front is also imminent.

The men in black also appeared on the left and right.

Zhao Yao looked at it, there were about thirty or forty assassins.

Sending so many assassins to assassinate Qin Xiulian was to put Qin Xiulian to death.

Tongxi turned his body and let Zhao Yao lie on his back.

"Your Highness, close your eyes."

When Zhao Yao was about to close his eyes, he noticed that several black-clothed people suddenly appeared, and killed a group of black-clothed people who were surrounding them in three or two on the ground.

What's going on?

Why did the Assassins kill each other?

The black-clothed people on the left and right of Zhao Yao were also stunned when they saw the sudden appearance of a few black-clothed people. They thought that these men were their accomplices, but they killed them.

The new black-clothed men are treacherous, deadly, and very vicious.

Seeing this scene, the men in black who appeared at the beginning did not hesitate to assassinate the few men in black who had just appeared.

More than a dozen men in black besieged those men in black together, but they were no match for those men in black at all. Soon, a dozen men in black were out of breath.

Tongxi, who was about to make a move, looked at all this dumbfounded, what happened just now?

Zhao Yao, who was lying on Tongxi's back, was also stunned, completely unaware of what was happening in front of him.

Tong Xi saw the four men in black walking towards them, and immediately became vigilant.

At this moment, the four black-clothed men saluted Zhao Yao: "My subordinates have seen the Ten Highnesses." Immediately they said, "Your Highness, your subordinates will escort you down the mountain."

"Who are you?" Tongxi didn't let his guard down because they called Zhao Yao "Ten Highnesses", he asked vigilantly, "What's the purpose?" ”

"We are the secret guards to protect His Highness, this place should not stay for a long time, we have to hurry down the mountain."

When he heard that it was a secret guard, Tongxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your Highness, we ......"

The tallest of the four men in black spoke, his tone full of respect: "Your Highness, we have to hurry down the mountain." ”

"You're the secret guard protecting me?" Zhao Yao wondered in his heart, when did he have a secret guard, why didn't he know?

Zhao Yao thought that there were many secret guards in the second uncle's house, could it be that these four secret guards were sent by the second uncle to protect him?

"The emperor sent us to protect His Highness."

"Father?" Zhao Yao looked surprised. It's actually a secret guard sent by the stinky father.

"Your Highness, let's hurry down the mountain."

Hearing the sound of killing behind him, Zhao Yao looked back and saw that the guards surrounding Qin Xiulian were struggling to deal with the assassination of the black-clothed people.

"Won't you save the concubine?"

The tall dark guard glanced back at Qin Xiulian, who was being assassinated by the assassins, his brows did not furrow, his eyes did not change, and he answered Zhao Yao's question in a very calm tone.

"Your Highness, it is our duty to protect you." It means that Ying Concubine is not within their protection.

The assassins chasing Qin Xiulian behind were pressing them step by step, and the tall secret guard saw this, and hurriedly hugged Zhao Yao from Tongxi's back.

Before Zhao Yao could react, he was carried by the secret guard and ran down the mountain.

The other three secret guards followed closely behind Zhao Yao.

When Zhao Yao was sent to a safe place, the four secret guards disappeared.

Zhao Yao was about to ask them some questions, but he didn't expect them to disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Your Royal Highness, this ......" Tongxi looked shocked, "The emperor actually sent a secret guard to protect you." ”

Zhao Yao was also very surprised: "I knew it for the first time. "It makes sense for the stinky father to send secret guards to protect him, but it's also unreasonable.

"Your Highness, what should we do next, go back to Beijing directly?" They were sent down the mountain by four secret guards.

"We're waiting for the little sunspots to be them, they will be separated from us, and they will definitely be very worried about us." The bottom of the mountain is very peaceful, unlike the chaos on the mountain.

"Then let's wait here, it's not safe to go up the mountain now." Tongxi hesitated, but still asked, "Your Highness, Ying Concubine's side...... When they just went down the mountain, Ying Concubine's situation was very dangerous, could it be that something happened now?"

"I was just about to call four secret guards to save the concubine, but before I could speak, they disappeared." Since he had met, it was impossible for him to die without saving him. Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Tongxi Ling went up the mountain to have a look." ”

"Your Highness, the slave is gone, what should you do?"

"Since my father sent four secret guards to protect me, then they should be nearby, and they won't watch me have an accident, you hurry up the mountain to see Concubine Ying."

Tongxi thinks about it, too, the secret guard must be hiding nearby, secretly protecting His Highness.

"Your Highness, the slave maid went up the mountain to take a look."

"If you meet them, tell them I'm okay." Zhao Yao was worried that Xiao Heizi would look for him in the mountains.

"Yes, Your Highness." Tongxi did not hesitate to go up the mountain.

When he went up the mountain, he learned that all the assassins had been ambushed, and that nothing had happened to the concubine. Tongxi hurriedly went to find the little black man.

Sure enough, Zhao Yao guessed it, and the little black man and the others were anxiously looking for him.

When they saw Tongxi, they hurriedly asked Zhao Yao how he was.

Tongxi told them that Zhao Yao was fine, and that he had already descended the mountain and was waiting for them at the bottom of the mountain.

Knowing that Zhao Yao was safe and sound, Zhang He and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhao Yao had an accident in Baiheguan, they would be to blame.

Song Jicai and the others didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly went down the mountain with Tongxi.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was really unscathed, Song Jicai and the others were completely relieved.

"Boss, it's great that you're okay."

"Boss, we're scared to death."

"Boss, do you know how worried we are when you get separated from us?"

"Boss, I'm glad you're okay."

Zhao Yao smiled at Chu Huan and them: "I'm fine, are you all right?" ”

"We're fine."

Zhang He said with a bitter face: "Boss, you and we are separated, my mother and my sister almost beat me to death." ”

"You're reunited with your mother?" Zhao Yao asked with concern, "Are they okay, why didn't they go down the mountain with you?" ”

Song Jicai said: "My mother and my sister have gone to kill the assassins. ”

It was learned that there were assassins, and the target of the assassination was Ying Concubine Niangniang. Song Jicai and Zhang He's mother and sister were busy saving the Ying Concubine.

Fortunately, Song Jicai and their mother and sister rescued her, otherwise Concubine Ying would have had an accident today.

"They are now guarding the Ying Concubine Niangniang on the mountain." Song Jicai said, "We're worried that the boss will follow Tongxi down the mountain to see you." ”

"Are you okay sisters?"

"It's okay, my mother and my sister have very high martial arts, and those assassins are not their opponents."

Zhao Yao praised: "It is worthy of being a general." ”

"Boss, you'd better go to the mountain with us first."

"Boss, the mountain is safe, let's go and meet my mother and them."

"Boss, my family has gone back to Beijing to report the assassination of Concubine Ying, and my father and they should come soon."

"Boss, you're still safe with us, otherwise we won't worry about you."

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain with you." Although the mountain is safe, there is no guarantee that the journey back to Beijing will be safe. Besides, if he returns to Beijing with Tongxi first, they will not be at ease with the little blacks.

In Beijing, after Song Dekang received the news, he immediately reported to the emperor.

At this time, the Emperor had already received from the Dark Guard that there were assassins in the White Crane Temple. However, the first thing he learned was that Zhao Yao was in the White Crane Temple. Fortunately, Zhao Yao was protected by secret guards and did not have an accident. Later, he learned that Ying Concubine had been assassinated at Baiheguan.

Song Dekang roughly reported to the emperor about the existence of assassins in the White Crane Temple. After speaking, he pleaded guilty to the emperor, because their younger sons took the Ten Highnesses to the White Crane Temple, causing the Ten Highnesses to be involved in the assassination. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Ten is fine, otherwise they would not have been able to explain to the emperor.

The emperor didn't blame Song Dekang and his youngest sons, "Okay, go with me to the White Crane Temple." ”

"Your Majesty, just wait for a few ministers to go to the White Crane Temple, you don't need to go in person, it's too dangerous."

"Xiao Shi, that stinky boy is in the White Crane Temple, I have to go over and take a look." The emperor said, and said meaningfully, "Also, my concubine was assassinated at the White Crane Temple, how could I not go to visit?" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, follow me."

After a while, Empress Xie and Concubine Rong learned of the assassination of Concubine Ying in Baiheguan. Because the emperor was worried about the concubine, after hearing about this, he hurriedly left the palace and rushed to the white crane to watch the concubine.

"The emperor is so worried about her?!" Concubine Rong's face was very ugly.

"Niangniang, maybe Concubine Ying is dead." Jin Mei gloated and said, "Even if the emperor goes, Concubine Ying is already a dead person." ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Yes, maybe she is dead." ”

In Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Xie was not surprised to learn that Concubine Ying was assassinated in Baiheguan.

Jiang Chuan saw Empress Xie's calm appearance, and asked in surprise: "Niangniang, you already knew that Concubine Ying would be assassinated?" ”

Empress Xie chuckled and said, "Isn't this an obvious thing. Concubine Ying has not officially entered the palace and has been favored and cared for by the emperor, do you think Concubine Rong will let her enter the palace smoothly? ”

"Niangniang, do you think that Concubine Ying's assassination was arranged by Concubine Rong?"

"Who else but her." Empress Xie had a mocking smile on her face, "In this palace, the person who is most afraid of Concubine Ying entering the palace is her Concubine Rong. ”

"Isn't Concubine Rong afraid of being suspected by the emperor?" Jiang Chuan felt that Concubine Rong was not so stupid, "Once Concubine Ying has an accident, everyone will suspect that Concubine Rong did it." ”

Empress Xie has been fighting with Concubine Rong for so many years, and she more or less understands Concubine Rong's temperament.

"She just wants the emperor to know that she sent someone to assassinate the Ying Concubine."

Jiang Chuan asked puzzledly, "Isn't Concubine Rong afraid that the emperor will blame her if she does this?" ”

"She just wants to test whether the emperor will blame her for this." Empress Xie sneered, "She just wants to test whether the emperor loves her or Ying Concubine." ”

Jiang Chuan felt that Empress Xie's guess was too ridiculous. Concubine Rong is not a stupid person, so it is impossible for her to run to test the emperor for the sake of Concubine Ying.

"Niangniang, Concubine Rong wouldn't do such a stupid thing."

"Jealousy can make a person crazy and make her do stupid things." Empress Xie smiled faintly, "Concubine Ying is a thorn in Concubine Rong's heart. No, it is Si Youying who is a thorn in the heart of Concubine Rong. Si Youying died, Concubine Rong thought that the thorn was gone, but she didn't expect that after many years, a person who looked exactly the same as Si Youying appeared, and the appearance of Concubine Ying awakened the thorn in Concubine Rong's heart. ”

Empress Xie smiled playfully: "This thorn pierced Concubine Rong's heart fiercely, and also reminded her of the emperor's preference for Si Youying, she began to be scared and began to panic, even if she knew that Concubine Ying was just a substitute for Si Youying, so she decided to kill Concubine Ying, so that Concubine Ying would disappear forever in this world like Si Youying." ”

"The most important thing is Concubine Rong, she doesn't dare to bet."

"What don't Rong Guifei dare to bet on?"

"She didn't dare to bet that after Concubine Ying entered the palace, she would be as favored by the emperor as before." Empress Xie mocked, "Concubine Rong has favored the Sixth Palace for many years, and she can't accept that she will lose to a substitute one day." She can't accept that she has fallen out of favor, she has always felt that she is the emperor's favorite woman, which is what she is most proud of. If after Concubine Ying enters the palace, the thing she is most proud of is lost, do you think she can accept it with her arrogant temperament? ”

"Concubine Rong's temperament is unacceptable, but is Concubine Rong really not afraid that the emperor will blame her at all?" Jiang Chuan still didn't believe Empress Xie's speculation, "Isn't it provoking the emperor to kill her when Concubine Ying enters the palace?" ”

"Next, Concubine Rong will take the initiative to ask the emperor for her guilt and tell the emperor why she sent someone to assassinate Concubine Ying." Empress Xie said, letting out a sneer, "This palace guesses that after the emperor listens to her reason, he will definitely be soft-hearted and will not blame her heavily." ”

"It's impossible, the emperor loves Ying Concubine so much."

"Concubine Ying is just a substitute for Si Youying after all, she is not the real Si Youying. A substitute is not as important as Concubine Rong who grew up with him since childhood. This is the reason why Concubine Rong blatantly sent someone to assassinate Concubine Rong. ”

"This trick looks stupid, but it's actually ......" Speaking of this, Empress Xie didn't say any more, and her face became distorted by jealousy for a moment. Regardless of whether Concubine Ying dies or not, the emperor will not bear to blame Concubine Rong. ”

Empress Xie suddenly sighed lonely: "At this time, the palace hopes that the emperor really loves Concubine Ying." ”

Jiang Chuan seemed to understand something, and asked in surprise: "Niangniang, is this why you don't make a move on Ying Concubine?" ”

"Concubine Rong will take action against Concubine Ying, why do you need to do it in this palace."

"I don't know if Concubine Ying has had an accident."

"Concubine Rong will definitely not let Concubine Ying live, but I am afraid that it will be useless for the emperor to rush to Baiheguan."

"Niangniang, maybe Concubine Ying didn't die."

"If Concubine Ying doesn't die, then there will be a good show to watch next." Empress Xie said with a smile, "This palace hopes that Concubine Ying is safe and sound, and can enter the palace smoothly." ”

"If Concubine Ying doesn't die, after she enters the palace, she will definitely find Concubine Rong for revenge, and then Concubine Ying will fight with Concubine Rong to the death, we will help Concubine Ying in secret, and Concubine Rong will definitely be defeated at that time." Jiang Chuan said with a smile, "At that time, there will be no one who is your opponent anymore." ”

A watch is coming.

It's really uncomfortable to code words on the high-speed rail, but I still coded more than 4,000 words.

It was also time for Zhao Yao to know how much Emperor Wu of Zhou cared about him.

There is also a shift in the evening.
