Chapter 168: Saving the Prince
Before everyone could react, the masked man was already holding a short sword and leaped in front of the prince.
Xiao Qingzi, who was pulling the prince's hand and wanted to escape, raised his eyes and saw it, knowing that he could not escape, so he hurriedly blocked in front of the prince.
The man was blocked by him, and the short sword he swung out instantly withdrew. Because he knew that if this sword was stabbed, it could only be stabbed into the body of that little Qingzi. In this case, when the short sword is drawn again, the perfect opportunity to assassinate the prince will be lost.
He raised his foot, kicked Xiao Qingzi away, followed by the cold light short sword in his hand, slashed a silver fox in the air, and stabbed towards the prince's body.
The prince is also a lifelong battle, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is by no means an idle person.
actually dodged the short sword, and wanted to rush forward and fight with it, but he didn't wear armor, and he was bare-handed, and he was sent to death when he went up, so he only sighed and hurriedly turned around and retreated.
The masked man in black was unwilling to let him go easily, and chased after him fiercely.
The people in the garden could only let out a burst of screams, and which one dared to step forward, and the many women were already frightened and scurryed.
This scene is really shocking, who has ever seen it in my life? One is running desperately in front of him in a panic, and the other is desperately chasing and killing behind as if he is in a no-man's land.
The prince ran around the garden, running in circles, and everywhere he went, the crowd hid like a plague. Because he came, it means that the people who are chasing and killing behind him will also follow, which one is not afraid?!
The prince is naturally old, and he is panicked, and he has been running for half a day, how can he still have the strength.
The power that had just been aroused in the fright had been exhausted at this time.
Soon, his mental strength was exhausted, and his will was still fighting in vain, but everything was in vain, so there is a saying called powerlessness.
At this time, he was already desperate to the extreme, looking up to the sky and sighing, is God going to destroy me? He even thought that if someone could solve his crisis at this time, he would be willing to give up the throne of King Jin! He would rather be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life than die in vain!
He looked up to the sky and called for help, my son Siyuan, come and save me! When he shouted, he was not only stunned, at this time when his life was at stake, why did he only think of his godson Li Siyuan, instead of his own son Li Cunxuan?!
Could it be that his godson is closer than his closest relatives?! He thought of the kindness of his daily heirs, and he really felt that he was really closer than his own flesh and blood......!
He was stunned for a moment, and the robe on his body tripped him under his feet, tripped him up, and fell to his knees.
At this time, the masked man had already chased closer, and when he saw this, he laughed loudly, and then jumped up, towards the place where the prince fell, and immediately ran, the short sword shining with cold light, and stabbed towards the prince with a sword very fiercely.
Seeing that the prince was about to splash blood on the ground, he died under the sword.
At this life-and-death stake, at the critical moment, only a "boom" sound was heard.
But I saw a rough wooden pole falling from the sky and inserting it impartially into front of the masked man in black. Hearing only a "bang", the head of the masked man in black hit the thick wooden pole.
He screamed in pain, then fell to the ground, and did not get up for half a day.
The prince who was lying on the ground waiting for death, did not see movement for a long time, and looked at each other in fright, but saw that there was a thick wooden pole behind him at some point, which was inserted into the ground.
The masked man fell to the ground, humming and screaming, obviously hitting the thick wooden pole, and his heart was not only full of wonder, what was going on?!
At that time, I didn't have time to think about it, it was important to get up and run for my life, so I hurriedly ran away.
The masked assassin did not seem to be an idle man, he was definitely well-trained, and after a little respite, he jumped to the ground, and then leaped and chased in the direction of the prince who had fled.
After three or two strokes, he pushed up, and suddenly pulled the sleeve of the running prince's robe.
The running prince suddenly felt that his sleeves were being pulled by someone, and he was shocked for a while.
The masked man brandished a short sword and stabbed it towards the back of the prince's heart, not only screaming proudly, "Where do you still run?!"
When the prince heard his words, his heart suddenly became cold, and he said secretly, "My life is resting...... I don't want to struggle anymore, and wait for death."
Seeing that the short sword was about to pierce the back of the prince's heart, at this critical juncture, the masked man only felt a shock to his wrist, and a huge pain, like a hammer smashing.
The short sword in his hand flew out in an instant, and he was shocked out five steps away.
The masked man staggered and fell to the ground, his conscious chest was temporarily reversed, he exhaled and panted, and looked up in shock, but he saw a black-faced stout man holding the prince and glaring at him.
"What kind of person? bad things for me?!" The masked man saw that he would achieve his immortal deeds when he saw that he would go down with a knife, but now he was halfway through the way to bite the gold, how could there be no reason not to be angry, and he shouted loudly at the moment.
Liu Zhiyuan was setting up the stage just now, listening to the screams below, I don't know why. Looking down, I saw an old man running for his life in front of him, and another masked man chasing after him, and holding a short sword with a glittering cold light in his hand.
Liu Zhiyuan didn't know that the person who fled for his life was the prince of Jin. But he felt that no one had the right to deprive others of their right to life. So he thought that he should take action to stop this from happening.
He was looking for the best time, because improper rescue could hasten the old man's death. In that case, as a prisoner, he will be held accountable and the punishment will be increased. But he must not die without help.
Just as the two of them ran to the shelf they had built, Liu Zhiyuan immediately threw the thick wooden pole down to block the masked assassin.
Immediately flew down again, jumped closer, and swung a punch, knocking down the masked man's short sword stabbing at the prince, saving the prince's life.
The prince died nine times in his life, his heart "banged" and kept beating, he turned his head to look at the person who saved him, and saw that it was the person who had just flown up and down on the top of the shelf, although he was a prisoner, but he was still grateful, and said: "Thank you for the grace of saving ......!"
Panting with a whirring heartbeat.
At this time, Xiao Qingzi, who had just been injured, limped over and hurriedly supported the prince, his face turned pale with fright.
trembling all over his body, he looked at Liu Zhiyuan, nodded and thanked him for a while: "Thank you, thank you for saving the strong man......!"
Because if something happens to the prince today, then his life will be gone, because he is responsible for serving the prince every day.
Liu Zhiyuan saw the masked man who fell to the ground, and jumped up on the ground unwillingly, and a vicious tiger came out of the hole, and immediately pounced on Liu Zhiyuan and the others.
Liu Zhiyuan knew that his intention was to dance the sword of Xiang Zhuang, and he intended to be Pei Gong, so he hurriedly urged Xiao Qingzi, "Quickly help people to ...... elsewhere!"
Xiao Qingzi agreed, supported the prince, and the two of them escaped together at a trot all the way.
When the crowd saw that the prince was out of danger, they let out a burst of cheers.
When the masked man saw this, he was even more angry, and this man had ruined his good deeds, and at that moment he was angry from his chest, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and he howled and rushed forward.
Liu Zhiyuan saw it, dodged it, and quietly hooked his ankle with his toes, and the masked man couldn't hold it for a while, and rolled over.
But he took advantage of the roll, got up, and rushed forward after him.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned, he didn't expect this assassin to be so dedicated, he really didn't achieve his goal, and he didn't give up.
Seeing that they were chasing in the direction where the two had escaped, everyone shouted in fright wherever the masked man went.
The little Qingzi and the prince had already run out of the back garden and came to the front yard.
The guards of the palace caretaker courtyard, who were patrolling around the palace compound, heard the report and immediately ran forward and ran towards the back garden.
Halfway through the road, he greeted the prince, and the leader shouted, "Protect the prince!"
Several people immediately rushed forward and surrounded the panicked Xiao Qingzi and the prince, and the masked man also arrived.
The leader of the nursing home shouted, "What kind of person?
Then he waved his hand to the nursing home, "Take down the ...... for me!"
The guards were ordered, and with a shout, their swords struck out, and surrounded the masked man in the middle. When the masked man saw this, he let out a screaming sound, which shook everyone's eardrums and made them short of breath and weak.
Not only were the people horrified, this was the first to take the lead, and before they could fight, the nurses had already been scared by three points.
Don't look at him with his bare hands, but he has no timidity, he flies up and down, strikes left and right, and hits the north with his fingers, which dazzles everyone for a while.
The waist knife in the hands of several nursing home guards was kicked to the ground by his flying feet, and he picked it up, and with the waist knife in his hand, it was even more unstoppable.
After a few strokes, he rushed forward and cut down several of the family members guarding the prince to the ground.
The prince was taken aback, turned around and fled.
The leader of the nursing home shouted loudly: "Quickly protect the prince——!"
The family had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward to protect the prince.
Just now, Liu Zhiyuan, seeing the masked man chasing forward, stepped forward and followed a few steps, but suddenly did not dare to go forward, because he was a prisoner, wearing prison clothes, and without permission, it was a crime of escape, so he had to stop in embarrassment.
When the family members saw it, they hurriedly begged: "This brother, the prince is in trouble now, and he bothers you to go and rescue ......!"
"I ...... This ......?!" Liu Zhiyuan looked at the family members in embarrassment, and then looked at the messenger in the distance, "I'm a prisoner now......!
"Oh, that's ...... that's the case!" a few family members understood now, and hurriedly turned their heads and shouted to the messenger who was hiding by the wall, "A few old brothers, quickly approve this brother to go and save the prince......
