Chapter 007: Night Terror
Seven days later, in the evening, the vast mountains.
At the junction of the Heavenly Star Country and the Ningyue Country, it is sparsely populated and inaccessible, and it is the border of the Ningyue Country when you climb over the mountain.
"Princess, it's getting late, so let's set up camp here. Lou Xiyu rode a few steps lightly, came to Mu Qingchen's carriage, and whispered.
General Lou just looked at the arrangement. Mu Qingchen said.
The carriage slowly stopped, Jin Yan jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and helped Qingchen get out of the carriage, and laid a soft cushion under the surrounding trees to let Mu Qingchen rest.
Qingchen leaned against the tree, watched Lou Xiyu set up camp in the clearing in the forest, arranged the people for the night vigil, and lit a fire by the way in case a wild beast attacked.
More than three months ago, Lou Xiyu experienced his first defeat since joining the army in this place.
Qingchen thought in his mind, his face was silent, watching Lou Xiyu arrange all the things on the ground, and there was no trace of inappropriateness in his expression, and he felt a slight determination in his heart: Sure enough, he is the God of War General of the Heavenly Star Country, and his name is well deserved.
"Princess, Prince Yi's convoy has also stopped. Jin Yan looked at another wave of convoy that stopped not far away, and turned to Qingchen and said.
"Yes, let's go and say hello, we went to the Ningyue Country, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future. The corners of Qingchen's mouth flashed with an inexplicable smile, looking at the tent not far away, his eyes turned slightly.
Jin Yan looked at his master, who had served him for more than ten years, and was slightly surprised, as if he ...... Since the princess woke up, she has not been the same as before.
However, Qingchen didn't allow her to think too much, raised her feet and walked towards the tent where Xiao Yi lived, the big red wedding dress hung long on the ground, raising a beautiful arc behind Qingchen, the lotus step moved lightly, and the rhyme flowed.
"His Royal Highness King Yi. Qingchen looked at Xiao Yi, blessed slightly, and nodded in salute.
"It turned out to be Princess Jade Hook, I don't know what Princess Jade Hook is looking for Xiao Wang, what is the so-called matter?" Xiao Yi arched his hand towards Qingchen.
This time when she arrived in Ningyue Country and entered Xiao Ling's harem, she was Xiao Yi's nominal sister-in-law, Qingchen thought for a moment, looking at this prince who had been a proton in the enemy country for ten years, and a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Yi's face with a knife and an axe was even more dazzling in the glow of the trees, Qingchen looked at it, his eyes flashed slightly, and he felt that even Xiao Ling in his memory was three points inferior to him.
has survived in the enemy country for ten years, if Xiao Yi is not cynical and superficial, then it must be a far-sighted and unfazed person, in Qingchen's memory, Xiao Yi is the second kind of person.
So, it's hard to control.
"It's okay, it's just that this journey through mountains and rivers is tiring, and I have to escort me, a weak woman who doesn't know anything, and His Royal Highness the King of Laoyi. "It's just polite words, Qingchen has said too much, and he is easy to say.
"Princess Jade Hook doesn't have to be polite......" Xiao Yi shook his head, and was about to say something, but he heard a strange sound from the surrounding forest, and the arrows flashing with silver light only came from far and near, with a trace of breaking wind, and went straight to Qingchen.
"Stand back!"
Qingchen obviously sensed this sudden killing opportunity before Xiao Yi, pushed away the Jin Yan beside him, quickly turned around, bent down to dodge the arrows, dodged and retreated, and stood by Xiao Yi's side.
A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and before he had time to ask, he saw the overwhelming black-clothed man with a long knife in his hand, rushing down from the tree, his hand up and down, but in an instant, the accompanying guards were killed and injured.
"There's an Assassin - Protecting the Princess—"
"Protect the prince—"
For a while, the forest was suddenly in chaos, and the guards of the Heavenly Star Kingdom and Xiao Yi's entourage fought with those black-clothed men in one place, swords and swords, and staged a bloody killing when the twilight was exhausted and the moon moved to the west building.
If Lou Xiyu's command was determined, the guards of the Heavenly Star Kingdom suddenly became orderly, but the black-clothed people were numerous, all of them were strong in martial arts, and they had the advantage of sneak attacks, so the Heavenly Star Kingdom did not get much benefit.
"Princess, be careful—" Qingchen was stunned, but heard Xiao Yi's voice ringing in his ears.
Qingchen turned her head in surprise, but saw Xiao Yi holding a long sword in her hand, but holding her waist with the other, the burning touch on her waist made her a little stunned, and then relieved, she was a representative of peace between the two countries, the war had just been extinguished, Xiao Yi would definitely not let her have an accident like this.
"Lord Wang, the other party is powerful and has strong martial arts, I'm afraid we are not opponents!" Xiao Yi's subordinates stood and retreated, came to Xiao Yi's side, and said with a serious face, "Please also ask the prince to leave first, and the subordinates will wait for the end!"
"Princess-" Lou Xiyu searched for Mu Qingchen in the vicinity but couldn't, turned her head to look at Xiao Yi, and then saw Mu Qingchen who was protected by Xiao Yi in her arms.
A heart was a little fixed, but in the next second, his eyes widened, looking behind Xiao Yi, and he lost his voice slightly.
"Xiao Yi, be careful behind you-" Mu Qingchen reminded him with his years of experience in fighting on the battlefield in his previous life, but when Xiao Yi was overstretched and busy dealing with the two black-clothed people in front of him, he took off the bracelet on his hand, and his wrist was slightly forced, hitting the black-clothed man behind him in the vital place.
This action was extremely hidden, except for Xiao Yi, who had been hugging Mu Qingchen, almost no one noticed it.
The fight continued, and Qingchen saw that Xiao Yi could deal with it, so he didn't make another move, but just spoke:
"My guards and your retinue are only a thousand, but there are four or five hundred men in black, and if this continues, the entire army must be wiped out. I don't know if the other party is coming at which of the two of us, we will lead some people away, and the rest of Lou Xiyu can handle it. ”
Surprised that Qingchen could be so calm and rational at such a dangerous moment, Xiao Yi only thought for a moment before he understood Qingchen's words.
