Chapter 13: The Crisis of the Princess's Career Line (9)
"Phew!" The carriage came to a slow stop.
Wan Yanjing got out of the car and saw Huo Shan pressing the sword on the neck of "Lao Xu".
"Lao Xu" didn't seem to be worried at all, he didn't resist at all, and he had an indifferent attitude.
This is an abandoned alley, and the grass at the head of the wall has grown more than a foot high, and it looks like a good place to kill people and sell goods.
"Huo Shan killed him, and we went back the same way." Wan Yanjing's eyes were cold, and she directly gave the order to kill, without any intention of interrogation.
"Lao Xu"'s original demeanor instantly converged, and he opened his eyes wide and began to look at Yan Jing squarely, with some doubts in his eyes.
Huo Shan's sword was immediately pressed, but "Lao Xu" was half a cut shorter and escaped the sword.
"Bone shrinking work!" Wan Yanjing narrowed her eyes, the bad premonition in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, she pushed Gan Tang into the nearest haystack, let her hide there first, and then ran towards the exit of the alley with the guards.
"Bang," a roll, she was protected by Huo Feng and narrowly dodged the fatal arrow, and five or six young men dressed as beggars appeared in the alley, all of them covered their faces, with gray cloth towels on their faces, and fought with her guards.
The dozen or so guards she had brought with her out today were completely defeated, and after only a few breaths, they all fell to the ground, and five or six assassins continued to chase after them.
Outside the alley is a desolate neighborhood, with a few people setting up stalls on the street.
Wan Yanjing ran across the two streets, and the number of people on the street gradually increased, and when she looked back, she saw that the beggars were still chasing her behind, and she didn't mean to give up at all.
The distance continued to shrink, Huo Feng immediately made a decision, and roared: "Ah Shan! You escort the princess away, and I stop them. ”
Although Huo Feng is a first-class martial artist, but there are five first-class martial artists on the opposite side, it is not guaranteed that there are only a few of them, whether there will be helpers around, Huo Shan can almost predict how Huo Feng will fall tragically.
"Boom" There was a sudden thunderstorm in the sky, followed by scattered light rain.
"Ah Feng! Go with confidence, I will protect the princess! Huo Shan's eyes were red, and he wiped the water droplets from his face, not knowing whether it was sweat or rain.
"Whew, what," Wan Yanjing gasped and couldn't help but interrupt them, "I think the current situation is quite controllable, so it's not necessary to be so sad." ”
She stopped, rested on her knees for a few breaths, and Huo Shan turned around and ran towards the black-armored forbidden army that was faintly visible in the distance, waving and shouting as she ran.
"The forbidden army ahead, don't hurry up and escort it!"
The Praetorian Army heard her voice, and actually rushed this way, and their steps were in unison, and they stepped in a wonderful resonance on the stone pavement of the street.
How obedient is you? Wan Yan was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palms with joy.
"The forbidden army is here, we are saved!"
Huo Shan was not so optimistic, and said sadly on the side: "Princess, how can you be sure that they are here to save us, in case they are here to mend the knife?" ”
Wan Yanjing was instantly doused with a basin of cold water, but at this time, they seemed to have no other way but to pray.
The forbidden army was getting closer and closer, and there was a slightly familiar man in white next to the team.
"Hurry, hurry up, protect Princess Wuxuan!" The man in white looked anxious, ran very awkwardly, and was out of breath.
Zhang Rutong?
Wan Yanjing's eyes lit up: "It's Zhang Rutong, it's a friendly army, let's rush over." ”
The few people chasing behind him also saw the forbidden army, glanced at each other, and then quickly retreated and disappeared into the crowd.
"Princess, are you alright?" Zhang Rutong wiped his sweat, his beautiful eyes were full of worry, he stretched out his hand, as if to personally confirm whether Yan Jing was unscathed, but he restrained his hand when he was about to make contact.
Even no matter how white a person is, he can see that he is really in love with Yan Jing.
Wan Yanjing glanced at him deeply, and her expression was a little strange: "Hmm, I'm fine." He turned to Huo Feng and said, "I'm safe, you go and help Huo Shan, Gan Tang is still in the alley, I hope she's fine." ”
"Yes!" Huo Feng glanced at Zhang Rutong warningly before leaving.
Zhang Rutong's eyes widened, and his face was sincere: "Brother Huo, don't worry, you can get busy, the princess has me here, and this place is not far from the Wuxuan Palace, I will definitely send the princess home safely." ”
It is indeed not far, although the place where the alley is located just now is remote, it is only a tea distance away from the side gate of Wuxuan Palace.
They chatted and walked towards the Wuxuan Palace.
"Why did Lord Zhang appear here with the forbidden army so coincidentally today?" Wan Yanjing glanced at him and asked.
Zhang Rutong's reaction was something she didn't expect.
I saw this gentle and handsome little brother, his face turned red, and his two hands were entangled:
"It's... Be... It's because I... It's because he stuttered for a long time, then closed his eyes, and looked like he was about to break the jar.
"I was worried about the princess, so I sent someone to follow the princess all the way. Seeing that the princess was in distress, I was a scholar, and I was powerless to rescue the princess in person, so I could only call the forbidden army. ”
After saying that, he lowered his head in shame.
"I'm so useless, the princess won't blame me, will she?"
Hey, Wan Yanjing was amazed in her heart, ashamed of herself.
The side door of Wuxuan's palace was close in front of everyone, and everyone was a little more relaxed, and the forbidden army gradually left and resumed normal patrols.
But it was only a moment of relief, and the crisis suddenly came.
An old man who was sweeping around the street corner suddenly straightened up and stabbed Wan Yan Jing with a dagger.
Wan Yan Jing was not too flustered, this old man was not comparable to the previous first-class master assassins, a little martial arts but not much, her level of third-rate martial arts could easily deal with it.
She stood there for a long time, intending to wait for the old man to come and take it down.
Unexpectedly!
Zhang Rutong beside him suddenly rushed towards the knife.
"Princess, be careful!"
"Poof" The sound of the knife stabbing in, Zhang Rutong opened his mouth wide, looked down in disbelief, covered his lower abdomen and slowly fell, fortunately, Wan Yan Jing reached out in time to give him a hand, otherwise he would have smashed directly to the ground.
The white clothes were dyed red, and there was panic all around.
Wan Yanjing closed her eyes and said to the guards who heard the sound in the palace: "Carry him to the medicine hall and let the imperial doctor come and show him." ”
"As for him." Wan Yanjing looked at the dagger assassin who had been subdued, and said to the forbidden army, "You can take it away and deal with it according to the rules." ”
Because Huo Xiang was seriously injured, two imperial doctors specializing in surgery had been living in Wuxuan's palace for a long time, and they were urgently brought in for treatment by Zhang Rutong at this time.
Zhang Rutong's face was miserable, and his lips trembled in pain when the doctor debrided him, but he couldn't help but make a sound, he raised his eyes and looked at Wan Yanjing, Wan Yanjing's face was dark, and he seemed to be extremely angry.
Ah, do you feel sorry for yourself? Zhang Rutong thought.
After the imperial doctor finished the diagnosis and treatment, Wan Yanjing ordered everyone to go down first, she stared at the last person to close the door, and the footsteps disappeared outside the door, before turning around and walking towards Zhang Rutong step by step.
Why doesn't this atmosphere feel quite right?
Zhang Rutong looked at Wan Yanjing, who had a gloomy expression, and found that the direction of things might be a little different from what he expected.
Oh, yes, it's a big difference.
Wan Yanjing's peach blossom eyes were not smiling, she raised her hand and fiddled with the token hanging around her neck, looked at him coldly and said, "Do you know why I want to venture out today?" Guess what, why did I hang this sign like this? ”
"Zhang Rutong, this token, you are familiar with it!"
