Suddenly, a snow-white light flashed in the darkness of the forest!

It was the cold light of the long sword, inadvertently revealing the killing intention!

"Oh my God!" Marcus screamed, "someone...... Someone!"

The darkness of the forest was still silent, and even the cuckoo had stopped its deft song.

But that apparent quietness, Qi Lang certainly knew the current situation. Danger lurks in the shadows, and the three Credons are choosing the best place to lurk, and when the sky is completely dark, and the surrounding darkness is too dark to reach, they will secretly assassinate the killer.

It should be said that Qi Lang is still somewhat sure of dealing with these three assassins, because he can completely summon Iglu. Just like the previous distress times, the snow wolf would rely on its keen sense of smell to make the opponent in the shadows fall under its claws before it had time to show its face.

However, Zi Lang did not make that choice, not because Igro went on strike due to overwork, but because he wanted Marcus to taste some hardship. To be honest, Qi Lang was a little suspicious of Marcus now, suspecting that he was deliberately trying to expose his whereabouts. Marcus clearly didn't want to lose his life, and judging from his past performances, he cherished himself so much that he would scream for a long time when he even had a blister on the sole of his foot.

But his behavior is really abnormal, although Qi Lang repeatedly reminds him not to communicate with anyone, he is like a stubborn naughty boy, always through a few words to reveal his noble identity to the world.

"There's a good chance Marcus was testing me. Qi Lang thought to himself, "It is very likely that he wants to know more about his only guard, and maybe he has some special purpose." ”

"What do you see, Your Royal Highness the Prince?" Qi Lang deliberately pretended to be confused. He had secretly made up his mind that he needed to give Marcus a taste of the bitter fruits, and at the same time he wanted to see the other face of Marcus more clearly.

Marcus had shrunk up, as if he wanted to completely stuff his huge body into Qi Lang's baggage: "Don't you see, we have enemies! They are here, nearby!"

Qi Lang frowned and looked around vigilantly: "Your eyesight is really good. There really seems to be someone here, hopefully not the Credon you mentioned. ”

Qi Lang took the bow and arrow in his hand, and opened his legs to chase into the depths of the forest. Marcus, however, grabbed him by the arm and protested loudly, "Wait a minute, you can't leave me here!

Qi Lang patted him on the arm and comforted him, saying, "It's okay, the future great king of the Luman Empire, you should show your courage, and I'm pretty sure you'll be safe." ”

"Wait...... Hey!" Before Marcus could dismiss Qi Lang's proposal, he had already rushed out and disappeared into the darkness ahead.

Marcus sat down on the ground, his fat body shuddering: "This bastard, I'll sue you, I'll tell old Henry, you're not trustworthy......"

But the whispered whining was clearly unlikely to bring him more comfort. The surroundings were uncomfortably quiet, as if there was a dangerous aura everywhere, and the echo of his deep voice was undoubtedly more like an invitation to assassinate the enemy in the shadows.

Rustling footsteps came, front, left and right!

They're coming!

The sword shimmered coldly, dragging it to the ground, sliding gently across the soft earth.

"Sizzle......"

The sound was chilling, and Marcus shivered even more. He lifted the fat hands up and covered his eyes with all force, as if that would also blindfold the three assassins at the same time, so that they would never be able to see the fat man in front of them.

"Marcus?" a hoarse voice rang out.

"He's not at home!" Marcus replied in a shrieked voice, presumably the voice of one of the maids he knew best, "Please...... He's not at home!" But his performance couldn't hold on, and in the end, he still showed his feet, and switched back to his original thick, low voice, and screamed pleadingly.

Whoosh!

The sound of arrows piercing the air rings in my ears!

Then, with a thud, the three corpses had fallen neatly in front of Marcus.

"Ah!!" Marcus howled hoarsely, "pull him away, he's got my feet!"

Qi Lang had already walked back. In fact, he didn't stay away at all, but hid in the canopy of a fir tree, quietly observing all the movements here. He was given an extremely useful piece of information. Marcus does have reservations about him, and it seems that he has another task given to him by his father - to test his loyalty.

"Arise, Your Highness, Prince, they are dead. Qi Lang smiled and stood in front of Marcus, his eyes flashing with a sly gaze.

Marcus finally withdrew his hands and kicked the dead body away in front of him in fear. The three Assassins each had three arrows stuck in their bodies, exactly in the back of the heart.

Although he did not know the strength of the three assassins, from past experience, Credon would never send any weak person to assassinate such an important person. And the first few, this yellow-skinned guard also spent a lot of effort, and even found the snow wolf to help, before finally narrowly escaping the doom, now it seems that Qi Lang's strength has improved again, after more than two months of escape, he has even gained some benefits from it!

"You've been hiding on the side?" Marcus jumped to his feet and asked Qi Lang with a look of hatred.

"Yes, how can I leave the great prince here alone?" Qi Lang leaned down and pulled out the arrows, wiped the blood on the corpse, and retracted them into his quiver, "Now, the crisis has passed, and we are safe again." ”

Marcus had already clenched his fists in anger and yelled in protest, "You bastard, you are using the noble Prince Marcus as bait!

Qi Lang shrugged his shoulders lightly: "I have no other way, Your Royal Highness the Prince." We're in the light, they're in the dark, and in this situation, I have to take unconventional measures. I have to do this, or we'll all die here. They will kill me first, and then torture you hard. ”

Zi Lang's attitude, Marcus, of course, will not be satisfied. Because he realized that he had been tricked, and his true intentions were completely tested by this guard. However, what Qi Lang said was quite reasonable, after all, he was not hurt in any way, but he was frightened, and his ankle was grabbed by the unwilling corpse, and everything was not serious.

Marcus slowly quieted down, and he laughed innocently again: "You are so sinister, Sergeant Qi Lang, it seems to be more insidious than the devil. You'll use your intrigues to reach your goals, and in that sense, you're not really a good person. I think I'm going to pay more attention to you for the next few days. ”

Qi Lang smiled indifferently: "I also need to pay more attention to you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." Sometimes, I even feel like I'm walking with the devil, because you always have a lot of secrets hidden in your heart. ”

Marcus twisted his head, looking nonchalant, "You're right. I remember old Henry saying that in extreme danger you can walk with the devil until you cross the bridge. We should all be careful, because it's a mess right now, and you can't trust anyone without reservation. Of course, even if this person may hurt you in the future, you must stand with him as long as he is in the same interests as you for the time being. ”

"So, what benefits do you think I'll get from you?" Qi Lang was a little puzzled.

"There's no doubt about that. There was a hint of confidence in Marcus' eyes, "That's more than you can imagine." But old Henry said, until then, I must have 100% trust in you, and I must be sure that you will not have bad thoughts under any circumstances. ”

"You probably don't realize that you're risking your life. Qi Lang frowned, the complexity here was greater than he had expected, "What if I give up, what if I throw you to them and escape the danger in front of me on my own?"

Marcus had a fearless look on his face: "Then I'll die, I know the result very well." But that was nothing, because Marcus's life was nothing compared to the hopes of the Empire. Marcus had to accomplish this task for his dear father, and even if he sacrificed his life for it, it would be worth it. ”

"What kind of mission is that?" Qi Lang began to feel a chill run through the back of his neck.

He finally discovered that the simple, stupid prince had only one face of his own, and that his occasional shrewdness had been imposed on him by his father. As Gila had predicted, Henry X was not an old fool, he sat in the tall and magnificent palace, as if he knew nothing about what was going on in the world, but in fact he knew everything well, and he would control the situation with all the resources at his disposal.

"You'll know, and I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Marcus betrayed him, and at the same time he winked at Qi Lang smartly, "Besides, I have to tell you that I have long seen that you will not let me be hurt." Although you are cunning at times, I know that you are a kind person and a person with a sense of justice. ”
