"So you know it all. Mr. Zhao said. The prince looked at the two of them with a look of surprise.

"How can you hide that little trick from me?" Leng Qiuhe's tone was full of disdain.

Mr. Zhao added, "It's not too early. Lord Leng, I think we'd better make a quick break, right?"

"Okay!" Leng Qiuhe snorted lightly and attacked unequivocally, he couldn't passively wait for Mr. Zhao to attack, because behind him was the crown prince, the future of the Ming Dynasty.

The two have fought more than 50 times with swords, and they have not yet seen a victory.

"Alas," Leng Qiuhe, who was fighting, suddenly sighed, "I don't know how Yang Daxia would feel if he knew that his proud disciple had become someone else's eagle dog?"

This sentence seemed to hit Mr. Zhao's sore spot, he was shocked when he heard this, the sword momentum slowed down, Leng Qiuhe took the opportunity to slash in, Mr. Zhao came back to his senses and retreated suddenly, but he was still stabbed in the left arm.

"Lord Leng can actually see the inheritance of the teacher below, admire, admire!"

"Haha, Kongtong's 'Thunder Thirteen Swords' is famous all over the world, who doesn't know? Except for the two high-ranking disciples of Kongtong veteran Yang Jiechen, I really can't guess that there is any master in the rivers and lakes who is not confused can use the 'Thunder Thirteen Swords' so skillfully. ”

"It seems that someone Zhao is desperate to leave Lord Leng behind today," Mr. Zhao said hatefully, "I just don't know where Lord Leng learned such superb swordsmanship?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhao doesn't know?"

Zhao was clumsy and couldn't see Lord Leng's mentorship. I only know that Lord Leng has learned a lot, and he has changed the five swordsmanship in an instant, of course, including the 'Thunder Thirteen Swords'. If Zhao's expectation is correct, there is no such thing as Lord Leng's own mastery among these five swordsmanship. ”

"Sir, good eyesight! However, if I use my own swordsmanship, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand here so easily, sir. ”

"Oh, Zhao wants to learn a thing or two. As he spoke, he raised his sword and stabbed towards Leng Qiuhe.

Leng Qiuhe smiled slightly, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he swung his sword to meet it. The two swords intersected with the sound of "dang", and Mr. Zhao only felt a numb right arm at the moment, and was forced to the side by Leng Qiuhe.

Unexpectedly, after Leng Qiuhe pushed the opponent's sword away, the sword momentum was not used, and then he slashed down and cut to the opponent's plate. When Mr. Zhao saw it, he hurriedly stepped back, but he was still slow, because Leng Qiuhe's figure had already been drilled under his sword-wielding right arm, and at the same time, the sword that was picked up by the trend slashed his wrist.

Leng Qiuhe turned to the back of Mr. Zhao, this style of swordsmanship has not yet been exhausted, seeing that the tip of the sword raised flat eyebrows, and suddenly pulled back, drawing half a circle, and then returned to the sheath, at the same time, he used a very fast body to return to the front of Mr. Zhao, blocking the prince.

When there was a loud sound, Mr. Zhao's long sword fell to the ground, and then he "pounced" again, kneeling on his left knee, because the tendons and veins of his left knee and right hand had been broken by Leng Qiuhe, at this time, he looked at the two people who had regarded them as prey before.

"Say, who ordered you to come?" cried the prince.

Mr. Zhao was silent.

"Do you want to say it?" the prince pointed his sword at Mr. Zhao's throat.

"Forget it, Your Highness, his heart is dead and useless. Leng Qiu Dao turned to Mr. Zhao again, "Do you know my teacher now?"

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao raised his head and looked at Leng Qiuhe blankly, and shook his head silently.

"Good. Let me tell you: the footwork I used to kill the fourteen killers before is the authentic 'Flowing Clouds' footwork, and the one that hurt you just now is called 'Splitting Wave Interception', which is the seventh style in the 'Eleventh Arcane Sword Style'. ”

"It seems that I didn't lose unjustly," Mr. Zhao actually laughed, "It is a great honor for Zhao to be able to see the 'Flowing Clouds' and 'Eleven Styles of the Arcane Sword' in his lifetime." The two of you, the future is bumpy, so you can do it yourself!"

When the prince saw Mr. Zhao's body fall on his back, he was about to go over, but Leng Qiuhe stopped, "Your Highness, there is no need to search, I can't find any clues from them." ”

"Then I'm going to see what kind of face this guy looks like!"

"Forget it, Your Highness," Leng Qiuhe sighed, "Let's leave him a little bit of the last dignity of a warrior." ”

The prince snorted hatefully, giving up his plan to reveal Mr. Zhao's true face, "Qiuhe, what should we do now?"

"Go back the way you came, take a detour to the west. ”

"Aren't we going to the fiefdom of the King of the Sea?"

"Yes, but there's a good chance there's already someone waiting for us to drill in. "Cold autumn river channel.

The prince glanced at Mr. Zhao again, "Yes, people are dying and their words are good." ”

Leng Qiuhe said again, "Your Highness, let's go quickly, this is not the place to talk." ”

The prince looked around, and saw that there were corpses all around, and blood was all over the ground. Rao is self-determination, but he still feels a little disgusting, after all, he was born in the deep palace, and he has never seen such a scene, "That...... These corpses ......"

"It's too late to deal with it," Leng Qiu said, "They will never send only these few people to assassinate, and the backup may arrive soon." Besides, there is a good chance that this incident will alarm the local government, and our actions will be completely exposed at that time. ”

"Alright then, let's get out of here. ”

So they took the path and headed north.

Ten miles north of Huaiyin City, Leng Qiuhe looked around vigilantly, and determined that only he and the prince within a radius of ten zhang could relax a little, but they still didn't dare to be careless and remained vigilant at all times. After all, if all the people who come are masters, if they attack, the distance of ten zhang is also very dangerous.

Leng Qiuhe took off his backpack, took out dry food and shared it with the prince, and the two of them had not eaten for seven or eight hours in order to hurry. Leng Qiuhe looked at the gobbling prince, and felt quite unbearable in his heart: The prince has been clothed and fed since he was a child, how could he have suffered such a crime? In the days when he started to flee for his life, there were still a few guards, looking at the prince's expression, it was still full of excitement and excitement. But today, it seems that his face is full of vicissitudes and tenacity. However, this is the real prince of the country.

The prince took the kettle handed by Leng Qiuhe, poured a few sips, and then put it down, looking at Leng Qiuhe, who had finished eating for a while.

"Your Highness has a lot of questions in mind, right?" Leng Qiuhe asked when he saw this.

The prince nodded silently.

"Those six brocade guards have long been coerced by the rebels and thieves!" Leng Qiuhe said in a shocking voice.

"What?!" The crown prince had already lost his composure at this time, and his face was surprised, he didn't believe that the loyal Daming Jinyi Wei would betray him.

"In the first few days, I noticed that something was wrong with the two of them when we were resting or sleeping. One night, I stalked a guard who had crept out and sent him to mark the path we had walked, but I still didn't want to believe that they would betray us. I think that Guan people may have another strange soldier, and they may be contacting them. But then, after we had been pursued several times, I began to be suspicious, until three days ago, in that ruined temple in the south of Huaiyin, I overheard their conversation that night. It turned out that someone had taken the family hostage to coerce them. ”

Leng Qiuhe saw that the prince nodded slightly, and continued, "From their conversation, I also know their pain and helplessness: loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. If they choose 'loyalty', their mothers, wives and children will be in different places; if they choose 'filial piety', they will be guilty of killing the king and bearing the infamy of the ages, and they also know very well that if it is done, that person may not let them go, and it is very likely that they will kill them. But as sons, husbands, and fathers, how could they bear to watch their relatives die one by one? So, they finally made a decision......

"What decision?" the prince asked anxiously.

"Filial piety first, then loyalty. The people behind the scenes just want them to expose our whereabouts, and they don't need to do it. So they decided to do their best to protect both of us after the last execution of their conditions, even at the cost of their lives! They also knew that the result of this would probably be 'disloyalty and unfilial piety'......"

"Disloyal or unfilial?" the prince was shocked, "In other words, death can't protect the two of us?"

"Well," Leng Qiuhe nodded, "but that's all they can do." First do your best to save your family, this is called filial piety, and then, sacrifice your life to protect the king, this is called loyalty. Alas, if it were me, I would do the same. ”

"That's why you let them die?"

"This is the best way to liberate them. If I do it with the six of them, of course, I will annihilate Mr. Zhao and the others, but their relatives will inevitably die because of this, and even if the six of them will stay with His Highness in the future, they will live in the pain of the death of their relatives all day long. And there is a possibility of resentment, and there is an unwise move, after all, their family died because of the two of us. Therefore, their death is the best way to solve the problem. ”

"If they die, will their families be saved?" asked the prince.

"Yes!"

"Oh?"

"According to my speculation, the people behind the scenes must have controlled a lot of people like the six guards, and maybe some of them are even higher than the six of them, and they are closer to the emperor and His Royal Highness. In their eyes, the death of the six guards is likely to be such an illusion: the mission of the six people has been completed, and then Mr. Zhao has been killed, but the two of us were rescued by the master, and Mr. Zhao and the others were also killed by the master. So, they believe that the six guard missions have been completed and their families can be freed. "Leng Qiu Dao," if I expected it to be true, they would also give some money and silver to the families of the six guards as a pension. ”

"It's just wishful thinking. The prince apparently didn't believe it.

"Your Highness, because in the eyes of others, the six guards also died for the people behind the scenes, and this must not be hidden from the other people who are controlled. If the man behind the scenes doesn't release them according to their agreement, will anyone else serve him? Of course not! He will not only release them, but he will make sure that they live well, so that those people will be willing to use them for him. ”

The prince fell into deep thought.
