Chapter XXVI: Assassination

The next day, a girl came early in the morning to report: the carriage at the door was ready, just waiting for Shen Xiaoxiao.

This morning, the pomegranate came to urge Shen Xiaoxiao to get up just after dawn, and after some dressing up, he simply ate breakfast. Now it's time to go.

When he came to the door, Jia Min was already waiting at the door. Shen Xiaoxiao took a few quick steps and pulled Jia Min's hand guiltily, "Yuanchun made my aunt wait for a long time. ”

Jia Min shook her head gently with a smile and said, "My aunt has just arrived, so don't worry, and the guests in the North Courtyard haven't arrived yet." ”

As he was talking, Emperor Long Hui came out of it, and I saw Emperor Long Hui wearing a dark costume, with dark lines faintly flashing inside. With a majestic face, they nodded when they saw Jia Min and took the lead and walked out. Jia Min and Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly saluted him, and when they got up, they could only see his back. Long Si and Long Qi, who were following behind, saluted them. When Long Qi was still finishing his salute, he made a grimace at Shen Xiaoxiao, looking very lively.

Lin Ruhai followed closely behind Emperor Long Hui, and after leading Emperor Long Hui to sit in the first carriage, he arranged for Long Si and Long Qi to sit in the second carriage, he and Jia Min took the third carriage, and Shen Xiaoxiao took the pomegranate to the fourth carriage. And Mama Lin and the other girls took the fifth carriage. So in the end, a total of five wagons departed.

The accompanying guards rode horses and followed the first carriage to stand guard, and the group set off in the direction of Gaomin Temple.

The carriage traveled for about three hours, and when Shen Xiaoxiao felt a sore back and a sore buttocks, a guard was heard shouting in front of him: "Gaomin Temple has arrived." Then the carriage slowed down and stopped, and finally came to a complete stop.

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't sit still in the carriage, so she opened the door and jumped out of the carriage by herself, and Ruode Pomegranate shouted loudly: "Ouch, hey, girl, be careful not to fall, girl, you wait for me." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage and looked around, it turned out that the five carriages were now parked on a large platform in front of the temple, the terrain was higher, and the trees on both sides were even more lush. Looking up, you can see a seven-story Tianzhong Pagoda standing on the waterside of the Sanchai River from afar.

At this time, the people in the carriage in front also got out of the carriage, and Shen Xiaoxiao walked forward quickly. Everyone consciously followed Emperor Long Hui from a distance, and only Lin Ruhai followed Emperor Long Hui to introduce the origin of Gaomin Temple and Pagoda by half the distance of Emperor Long Hui. Emperor Long Hui was surrounded by his own guards.

Shen Xiaoxiao actually wanted to listen to the introduction of Gaomin Temple, and unconsciously took two more steps forward, so Shen Xiaoxiao was in a place very close to them.

Suddenly, Shen Xiaoxiao noticed that there seemed to be a murderous aura coming from not far ahead, don't ask Shen Xiaoxiao how he knew, since he cultivated the truth, especially after practicing qi, his body's facial features were much more sensitive, and sometimes he could even sense the subtle emotional changes of others without exerting his mental power.

Sensing the murderous aura here, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that things might not be so simple, and released his spiritual power to probe ahead, and sure enough, on a big tree more than twenty meters in front, there was a man in black who was holding a bow and arrow, and the arrow was pointing towards Emperor Long Hui, not good, this is someone who wants to assassinate Emperor Long Hui. Shen Xiao thought carefully: Emperor Long Hui can't have an accident at this time, otherwise Lin Ruhai won't be able to get out of it.

It's too late, it's too soon. Seeing that the archers had already shot the arrows, Shen Xiaoxiao shouted "Be careful", but the people had already blocked in front of Emperor Long Hui. There was a thud, and the sound of an arrow entering the flesh sounded.

Shen Xiaoxiao's arrow fell into Emperor Long Hui's arms, and Emperor Long Hui had to shout loudly under the voice of the guards chanting "escort" and "protect Your Majesty": "Yuanchun, Yuanchun, how are you." After Shen Xiaoxiao heard the guard's call, although there was a sharp pain in his chest, he still endured the pain, showed just the right amount of surprise, and tried his best to make his voice say: "You~ Long live...!" But before he finished speaking, he fainted. At this time, the surrounding guards had already surrounded Emperor Long Hui and Shen Xiaoxiao.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min also rushed towards Shen Xiaoxiao, shouting "Your Majesty" and "Yuan Chun" in their mouths. It's just that the guards can't get in, so they can only wait anxiously.

At this time, Long Si was stunned, and when he saw Shen Xiaoxiao slumping softly in the arms of Emperor Long Hui, his head was blank and white. Long Qi, who was on the side, saw that Long Si's expression was wrong, and quickly pushed Long Si and shouted: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, what's wrong with you!"

Ryuchi's scream woke Ryusi, who knew that now was not the time to panic and grieve. Long Si suppressed the tearing pain that kept surging up in his chest, and rushed with the guards in the direction where the arrow was fired, just in time to see a man in black fleeing out. Long Si pursued all the way, and finally captured the man in black at a distance of one or two hundred meters, Long Si quickly took action and removed the jaw of the man in black, Long Si's eyes became darker and darker, and there seemed to be countless storms and lightning surging in his eyes, but Long Si said to the man in black in an unusually calm voice: "You want to die so easily, dreaming." ”

Over there, Long Si captured the assassin, and here Long Hui Emperor shouted: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor will come over immediately." The accompanying Doctor Ma hurriedly trotted all the way over, the guards made a way for him, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min also took the opportunity to follow, and the Imperial Doctor reached out and grabbed Shen Xiaoxiao's wrist and carefully checked the pulse.

After taking the pulse, Doctor Ma looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's wounds, face and pupils again, and then said to Emperor Long Hui: "I carefully examined Miss Jia's wound, and the arrow was only half an inch away from hitting the heart, but fortunately, it was off the other half an inch, and Miss Jia's life was not in danger for the time being." But he looked at the mouth of the arrow and found that the mouth of the arrow was coated with poison, but the strange thing seemed that Miss Jia had drugs in her body that resisted poison, so this poison was not dangerous to Miss Jia. ”

When Emperor Long Hui heard that the poison was ineffective against Shen Xiaoxiao, his eyebrows moved: "Oh, is it? Before the imperial doctor could answer, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min glanced at each other and said, "Long live the lord, this Weichen knows." When her niece came to the Lin Mansion, she told the insiders that she had an adventure, and she met a Dao aunt who gave her a red fruit, and Dao Gu told her that after eating it, it would not be invaded. But Yuan Chun, she only told it as a joke to the ministers. ”

Emperor Long Hui was stunned after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "This Yuan Chun is a blessed person, and he can be valued by people outside the party. Today, he saved my life so desperately, and I will definitely repay this love. Doctor Ma hurriedly prepared to draw arrows for Miss Jia to heal her injuries, if Miss Jia has any problems, you don't have to do it. ”

Doctor Ma Tai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to heal Miss Jia, and please order Miss Jia to be carried into the temple, find a clean place, and treat Miss Jia's injuries in a humble position." ”

Before Emperor Long Hui could order, a voice sounded: "I'm coming." It turned out that Long Si had already come back at this time, and when he heard that he was going to carry Shen Xiaoxiao inside to treat his injuries, he came over and personally picked up Shen Xiaoxiao and walked inside.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly ran to the front to arrange the room, fortunately, Lin Ruhai had already sent someone to prepare here the day before yesterday, and specially instructed that the temple should not be open to the public for the next few days.
