There was a constant shouting and cheering outside the carriage, and the fight had already started, and she was quite nervous and at a loss.

Pei Yingxiao picked up the long sword in one hand and observed the situation outside the car, and a large group of black-clothed masked people poured out, coming out of the dense forest.

He quickly made a judgment: "Let's get off." ”

"Your Highness?" Fujitoshi frowned, worried that they would become the target of public criticism.

Pei Yingxiao snapped down the bamboo curtain and said, "I am too passive in the car, maybe there are two groups of people who want to take their lives." ”

He was not only guarding against Emperor Tianqing, but also the remnants of the Mengshi father and son with the help of Pu Luogan.

Meng Tianshi knew a lot about Dahuan's passes, and although this time was different from the past, if he wanted to send someone to assassinate him, he only needed time to do it.

The prince and his entourage came to Jiahe County, stayed for several days, and then returned to Beijing in full view, and these messages could be heard without careful work.

Of course, Meng Tianshi could arrange an ambush in advance, and in order to increase the success rate of the assassination, it was not too much for the two groups of people to secretly cooperate.

These are Pei Yingxiao's guesses, and he is used to preparing for the worst in order to deal with them in a timely manner.

Today's danger is unavoidable, since Emperor Tianqing ordered to do it in such a secluded place, he can't help him on the surface.

He also couldn't carry a large number of soldiers with him in the open, but there were quite a few masters in the secret.

Pei Yingxiao got out of the car with Qu Ningxi, and Mingen and Teng Min followed.

Qiu Chi followed closely with a group of people and said, "Quickly escort His Highness into the mountain!" ”

Emperor Tianqing was determined to arrest the crown prince, and all the people sent out were elite dead soldiers, and ordinary guards were not opponents.

If he gets caught in the front and back, even if there are more than 100 people in the prince's honor guard, it will not be enough to kill.

Taking advantage of the fact that an encirclement had not yet been formed, Pei Yingxiao and the others abandoned the carriage and entered the mountain.

The slope of the mountain is not steep, but as far as the eye can see, the slope is extremely large, and countless trees and thorns grow endlessly.

ran all the way up, and after a while, Qu Ningxi was out of breath.

Pei Yingxiao held a sword in one hand and held her in the other, and said, "Find a leeward pass and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Entering the mountains and forests, hindered by trees, it is not easy for the killers to attack from both sides.

If they can take advantage of the mountain to relieve their worries, it is only a matter of time before they kill this group of people head-on.

Qu Ningxi turned his head to look at Pei Yingxiao, and at this juncture, he was still calm, with a moon-white brocade robe and fluttering clothes, as if he was a noble brother who had come to the mountains to explore the wilderness.

Pei Yingxiao took out his saber 'Shuoling', and naturally did not intend to continue to cover his force value.

There is no longer any need to conceal Emperor Tianqing.

As soon as the group stood still, the pursuers behind them arrived, and they were menacing, carrying knives in droves.

It is not an open place, and it is not suitable to use bows and arrows, so you can only fight in close quarters.

Qiu Chi and a few people went up, Ming En was by Pei Yingxiao's side, and Teng Min, she didn't go anywhere, only followed Qu Ningxi alone.

This is the real killing, the blade slicing through the flesh, bringing out warm blood and flying.

Even if Qu Ningxi was far away, he could clearly smell the smell of rust, and it was everywhere......

She was a boudoir woman, naturally she had never seen such a scene, and she was quite nervous, but she did not shout or flee in panic.

Her gaze followed Pei Yingxiao closely, and he made a move.

Pei Yingxiao's swordsmanship had been seen once last year when she was assassinated in a hunting ground, but at that time she was frightened.

And patronizing and surprised, I didn't have time to think about anything else.

At this time, I can carefully watch Pei Yingxiao's sword technique.

His moves are skillful and extremely fast, so it can be seen that he has not fallen behind in sword training on weekdays, and he may be secretly doing it somewhere in the East Palace.

Where the sword flower was raised, it was as cold as a cold man, the sound of breaking the sky, accompanied by the sound of the wind, followed by the screams of the dead.

The man uttered a short cry and collapsed to the ground, dying.

With just one glance, Qu Ningxi was stunned, Pei Yingxiao was already good-looking, wielding his sword neatly, like a jade bead falling on a plate, like a meteor, advancing and retreating.

Her heart was beating like a drum, and she actually saw the beauty.

…… Crazy, he's killing people!

Shuo Ling Shuo Ling, Qu Ningxi couldn't take his eyes off, and suddenly understood why the long sword was named like this.

Shuo is its shape, and Ling is its sound.

The silver-white blade of the sword is like a crescent moon sickle, like the sound of water, like the sound of the wind, and like the cry of a ghost......

A good sword sharpens iron like clay, and the slightest carelessness on the part of the enemy can result in a stump or a broken arm, or even a cut in the throat.

Qu Ningxi had suspected that Pei Yingxiao was strong in force before, and today he witnessed it with his own eyes.

But even so, Ming En stayed behind him for a moment, and the master and servant cooperated with each other, and it didn't take long to kill a dozen people.

At first, it was fine, they didn't find it difficult, but the killers in the dense forest seemed endless, and people kept pouring out.

This group of people is well-trained, not afraid of death or pain, and has firm eyes, but has only one goal -- to capture the crown prince.

And after two quarters of an hour of fighting, seeing that they could not be captured alive, a short whistle sounded out of nowhere, and the killers' moves suddenly changed.

The already ruthless style of play is even more ferocious, and they don't care about it completely, they don't want to die!

Ming En frowned: "This is a death hand!" ”

Pei Yingxiao was unsurprised by this, and he couldn't be arrested, so he would take the body back, and it must have been ordered by His Majesty himself.

He couldn't help but sneer, this is the royal father-son affection.

has been raised for many years, and he will kill when he says it, and nothing can match his own importance.

Suddenly, another wave of killers arrived, several of them carrying bows and arrows on their backs, hiding in the shadows, trying to hurt people with arrows.

Pei Yingxiao's eyes were quick, he dodged a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Sent by Meng Tianshi." ”

He stayed in Shuzhong for many days, enough for the rats in the gutter to be assassinated.

Ming En didn't need to be reminded, they had already taken precautions, and they wouldn't be messed up at the moment.

However, it is obvious that a protracted war cannot be fought, and the size of the prince's entourage is fixed, and even if he wants to take precautions, he cannot send an army to accompany him.

In this way, they will be exhausted and prone to falling into a passive situation.

Pei Yingxiao expected this, he squinted at Ming En, and waved his sword to evacuate.

He retreated to the center, pulled Qu Ningxi with one hand, and said, "Follow me into the mountain." ”

The prince's car could not enter Beijing from the official road on the surface, it was a "target," and he was afraid that there would be a steady stream of assassinations.

Simply took this opportunity to make a false appearance of escaping and escaped into the mountains and forests, so that the two groups of men and horses could not be traced, and they lost their traces completely.

Ming En's group had discussed earlier, and at this time, they would make an invincible defeat and cover the crown prince and the crown princess to retreat into the dense forest.

When the two groups of dead soldiers saw this, they thought that they were about to succeed, so they naturally pressed even more urgently.

The two sides fought and retreated, and continued to go deeper into Yifengpo, completely away from the official road.

There is a path on the slope, and Xu was walked out by a nearby woodcutter hunter, but Pei Yingxiao did not take Qu Ningxi to walk on the path.

They strayed far from the mountain path, speeding through the thorny weeds.

Qu Ningxi is a maid's skirt, although it is relatively simple and not so cumbersome, but where has she walked such a 'road'.

Stumbling, Pei Yingxiao couldn't look at it, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he directly hugged the person.

"Your Highness?" She was startled and wrapped her arms around him.

Pei Yingxiao was tall, she was too petite for him, she was easy to pick up, and her feet were like flying.

Qu Ningxi didn't dare to relax, and wrinkled her brows and said, "Let me go by myself......"

There are pursuers behind him, he has to beware of cold arrows and plots, and he has to hurry, how can he carry her forward with a load?

It made her feel uncomfortable.

"Wait obediently and don't move," Pei Yingxiao had insight into people's hearts, and of course he knew what she was thinking, and lowered his eyes and said: "Lone knows that this has happened, and he insists on taking you, all of which are self-inflicted." ”

He used these words to comfort her, Qu Ningxi opened his mouth, and he couldn't say leave her alone, she really couldn't escape.

I can only close my mouth slowly, nest quietly in his arms, do not shout, do not disturb.

Accept Pei Yingxiao's protection, and also accept this blatant preference.

Is it a preference?

Everyone was bent on protecting his safety, but he went out of his way to carry her on the road.

Qu Ningxi's heart is fleshy, and it is difficult not to be touched by this person's every move in his eyes.

*******

Near noon, the group found a flat place, paused to rest, and ate some dry food and spring water to replenish their strength.

After Qiu Chi led the people to break off, he covered up all the places they had walked through, and even if the other party had reconnaissance skills, it was not so easy to track them down.

Ming Eun and Fuji Min looked like they were always walking outside, even if it was a barren mountain or a wild mountain, they could quickly boil hot water to make tea and serve it.

Not only them, but everyone else is the same, scones and soup are in their own role, neat and skillful.

This set of survival skills is almost a must-have for those who march and camp, and it makes people feel very down-to-earth when they see it.

Qu Ningxi stayed by the fire, occasionally secretly adding a dry firewood.

It is no wonder that the predecessors said that 'it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles', and every day she has experienced since leaving Beijing is very different from her past.

In a wilderness like this, you have to sleep out at night?

Qu Ningxi is not afraid of hardship, nor does she feel bitter, she was born lucky, she fell into the official eunuch's house, the four bodies are not diligent, and she can't always divide the grains.

She was glad that she could gain more knowledge.

Perhaps these insights are useless to a woman from a wealthy family or even a deep palace, and she is not happy to know nothing.

Live like a dream.

Pei Yingxiao saw that she was quiet, and asked out loud, "Aren't you tired?" ”
