The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom was different.

Zhu Biao is benevolent by nature, but Zhu Fan is extremely cruel.

Brutal to the point that he often takes pleasure in torturing and killing.

After he was named King of Qin, he was very fond of abusing lynching.

For example, cutting off people's tongues, burying people in the snow and freezing to death, tying them to trees and starving to death, burning them with fire, and so on.

All this is just for him to pass the time when he is bored and to enjoy himself.

For this reason, Lao Zhu, who has always been very fond of him, once scolded him for "not knowing people, stupid as a beast".

In addition, Zhu Fan is also very bold.

How big is it?

He dared to make himself a dragon bed and dress his wife in the queen's costume.

And now, Zhu Fan has decided to use the boldest, simplest and most direct method to deal with those who may compete with him for the throne.

Kill Zhu Yunxi!

Zhu Yunxi was invited by Zhu Di to go out of the city to hunt, and as soon as he died, Zhu Di could not escape the blame.

In this way, two competitors were eliminated in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zhu Fan is not a fool.

He still knows how to leave a way back for himself.

Therefore, the person who went to attack and kill Zhu Yunxi was not from his Qin Palace, but the Wu family, a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan.

……

Wu House.

Several stewards of the Wu family were there.

"You say, let's attack and kill His Royal Highness the Four Emperors?"

Wu Wanggeng, the head of the Wu family, looked at the envoy of the King of Qin who came, and his voice was full of shock.

"Not bad!"

The envoy sent by Zhu Fan nodded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said, if this matter is done. He will definitely give the Wu family a marquis one day. ”

Wu Wanggeng shook his head and said: "My Wu family is just surviving, and it is enough to keep the current family business, but I don't expect to pay homage to the prime minister." ”

"Assassinating His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun is a crime full of beheading."

"I ......"

Before he could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by the envoy of the King of Qin.

"What? Wu Wanggeng, do you still want to refuse? ”

"Don't forget the identity of your Wu family."

"Now Bu Sibei is still in the prison of Ying Tianfu because he collided with Zhu Yunxi."

"What is the relationship between your Wu family and the Bu family, and what is the origin, you don't need me to tell me, right?"

"Zhu Yunxi has received the will to go to strictly interrogate Bu Sibei, if he finds out your identity and origin, can your Wu family's family business still be saved?"

"Now that we are drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle and killing Zhu Yunxi, our crisis can be resolved."

"If not, without His Royal Highness King Qin's help, Your Majesty will not be able to spare you first...... Hmph......"

The messenger did not go on to say more, but the meaning of it was self-evident.

After a while, the messenger said:

"Didn't your Wu family still raise a group of outlaws? Just send them, even if the court investigates, it won't be able to find your Wu family's body. ”

Wu Wanggeng's face changed again and again, and he was silent.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind, and his face became hideous.

"Okay, the old man will arrange it immediately. He must be killed before Zhu Yunxi returns to Jinling City. ”

……

On the carriage, Zhu Yunxi came back from his contemplation, lowered the curtains, and looked at Xu Miaojin, who was sleeping soundly.

"It's ...... that you can fall asleep on such a bumpy road"

He smiled and shook his head.

The carriages of this era did not have the shock absorption system of later generations.

Although the pavement is paved with green bricks, it is far from being as smooth as the cement road.

The carriage went up, bumping and bumping.

Anyway, Zhu Yunxi couldn't sleep, and Xu Miaojin could sleep so soundly, he could only admire.

"Hey, wait!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Xu Miaojin slept too hard, not like a normal sleep.

He reached out and touched it, only to notice that her forehead was hot.

"Is this little girl sick?"

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback, and immediately found that there was a wound on Xu Miaojin's half-open chest.

Around the wound, it was slightly blackened, as if it was poisonous.

However, the wound has been treated simply and sprinkled with medicine.

It may be too hot to bandage, but most of the time it should not be life-threatening.

"It's really naughty and strong."

Zhu Yunxi had already guessed that Xu Miaojin went to get the jade pendant back, and it was probably not as easy as she said.

The two sides may have fought each other, and Xu Miaojin was injured because of this.

She had been holding back the pain before, and she didn't show it at all.

The little girl is so stubborn.

"Stop!" Zhu Yunxi ordered: "Immediately send someone to the best medical center in the city and ask a doctor to come over." ”

Xu Miaojin's injury actually can't stand the bumps and needs to recuperate.

And for her own simple handling, Zhu Yunxi is not at ease.

In this era, there are no antibiotics, and in the current hot weather, bacteria are very easy to breed, and once the wound is infected, the consequences are unimaginable.

Immediately a guard was commanded to go.

Minutes and seconds passed, and in the middle of the afternoon, a carriage came across the road.

"Ying'er, why are you here?"

Looking at the people who got off the carriage, Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment.

"The slave and maid waited at the gate of the city early in the morning, and His Highness has not returned for a long time, and the slave and maid are not at ease, so they came to take a look, fortunately, His Highness is fine."

Zhu Yunxi smiled dumbly and said, "I'm just going out of the city to hunt with the fourth uncle, what can I do?" You're worrying too much. ”

As soon as his words fell, at this moment, a change abruptly appeared.

Bang!

A bowstring sounded.

A sharp arrow came straight at him.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Ying'er's face changed greatly, and her body pounced towards Zhu Yunxi.

Use his own body to firmly protect his young body.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Sting!

The sharp arrow flew quickly and did not enter Ying'er's heart.

Thump!

She fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

"Ying'er!"

Zhu Yunxi's face changed drastically, and he screamed in surprise.

"Kill!"

Dozens of black-clothed people rushed out of the dense forest not far away.

"There are assassins!"

"Protect His Royal Highness!"

The guards were all shocked, and even fell into a bitter battle.

Zhu Yunxi traveled in micro-clothes this time, and he didn't bring many guards.

Although all of them are masters, they are difficult to beat with two fists and four hands.

Soon, all the guards fell in a pool of blood.

Before they died, they also fought out more than half of the black-clad assassins, but they were still powerless.

Zhu Yunxi didn't panic, nor did she flee, just sat quietly in front of Ying'er's body, looking at Ying'er, who was still looking at her until death, protecting her, two lines of tears, rolling out.

Ying'er gets along with her day and night, but he doesn't know Ying'er.

She was a handmaiden, and she was also a man of flesh and blood.

She would rather die herself than let His Royal Highness the Four Emperors Sun suffer any harm.

Perhaps, this is her belief in life.

Zhu Yunxi raised his head and looked at the man in black who was approaching step by step.

With his current small body, it is impossible to escape.

"Die!"

A man in black roared and slashed at him.

Swish!

A sword light rose from inside the carriage.

Xu Miaojin's figure flew out.

A sword stabbed the man in the throat.

"What are you still in a daze, go drive the carriage and go!"

The next moment, Xu Miaojin picked up his body violently and threw him into the carriage.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Xu Miaojin's sword is fast and fierce.

A sword can harvest a life.

But just a few swords had almost exhausted all of her essence.

Although she is strong, she is only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl after all.

Last night, I ran around again and again, and I was injured, and I was able to make a few swords, which is the limit.

On the carriage, Zhu Yunxi came back to his senses and rode his horse and whipped!

"Drive!"

He whipped the horse hard.

The carriage jerked forward, facing the few remaining black-clad assassins.

"Get in the car!"

When he passed by Xu Miaojin's side, he shouted at Xu Miaojin, whose body was already crumbling.

Xu Miaojin's figure suddenly rose from the ground, and in mid-air, he looked back at a sword and killed the man in black who was in hot pursuit.

With a thud, her body fell heavily on the carriage, and the person had already fainted.

"Smack!"

Zhu Yunxi used the strength of suckling and whipped the horse again.

Angry horses galloping.

The carriage galloped like a fly, heading straight for Jinling City.
