Chapter 137: The princess is assassinated
The princess's car drove away from Qingcheng. Wu Liang's body was fine, so he rode with him. Jiajia naturally sat in the princess's carriage. The city lord of Qingcheng gave the princess a lot of valuables, all of which were packed in the car that Wu Liang was sitting in before. Fu Xueyu escorted the princess to the boundary of Xuzhou and turned back.
"Wu Liang, this Xuzhou boundary is not very peaceful, we have to be careful!" Xu Dalin drove his horse to Wu Liang's side and instructed.
"Oh!" Wu Liang replied casually. Xu Dalin turned the horse's head and went to the princess's sedan chair to accompany him.
Does anyone dare to touch the princess? Wu Liang didn't believe it. He looked up at the official road in Xuzhou, the road was smooth, the trees on both sides were neatly aligned, and birds and birds appeared from time to time among the trees. The roads are so well built, how can law and order be chaotic?
But the princess's chariot did not stay at the inn, nor did she stop to rest, but just hurried away. Wu Liang's stomach was already growling. This is the rhythm of starving to death!Wu Liang touched his stomach and thought.
Xu Dalin ran over and handed Wu Liang a piece of cake. Wu Liang ate three times and divided five by two. Then, he untied the water bag from his waist and drank hard.
The horse had been running for a day and saw that the sun was about to set. The group reached the foot of a mountain. Xu Dalin knocked on the door of a farmhouse. The old man who opened the door quickly opened the door as soon as he saw that it was Xu Dalin. The princess's carriage went straight into the courtyard.
This courtyard is clean and tidy, and the items are placed in an orderly manner, not like the clutter of an ordinary farmhouse courtyard. The princess took up residence in the middle room. Wu Liang and Jiajia were arranged in the room on the left. Jiajia was already asleep, and it was Luqiao who carried him out of the carriage. Wu Liang took Jiajia and hugged her into the house.
Wu Liang simply washed up and lay down. He was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a "bang" on the door. He scrambled to his feet. Outside the door, there was the sound of fighting. Wu Liang quickly pushed open the door and ran out.
Damn! Why are there so many people! Wu Liang watched Xu Dalin surrounded by more than a dozen black-clothed people in the middle, and was in danger. Wu Liang was just about to step forward to help, but was intercepted by the masked man in black who jumped down from the roof.
Wu Liang had no sword in his hand, so he could only fight with his bare hands. And the other party is a master and well-trained. Although Wu Liang had no worries about his life, he had no time to help Xu Dalin.
Xu Dalin has been injured in two places and is gradually losing his support. At this time, Wu Liang saw the princess fly into the battle circle and save Xu Dalin's life. Wu Liang just looked at it, and was kicked in the back unexpectedly. He fell to the ground in one fell swoop. The besiegers slashed with their swords. Wu Liang had no choice but to escape underground.
The princess's swordsmanship was so good that she scattered the besiegers, but she saw Wu Liang being stabbed down by the swords of many people. She couldn't save it, and wondered in her heart: This Wu Liang is not as powerful as the legend! After the princess swung her sword and killed them, she did not find Wu Liang's body. The princess was horrified.
"Shoot the arrows!" shouted from the rooftop. The princess flew up to the roof and fought the black-clad masked leader. Xu Dalin then became a target for arrows, and he was about to die on the spot.
"Don't!" Jia Jia rushed out of the house.
"Kid, go back!" Xu Dalin shouted as he waved his sword to block the arrow. He has already been hit by two arrows, and he can't protect himself, and he is no longer able to protect Jiajia.
Unexpectedly, these arrows fell on Jiajia's side one after another. Xu Dalin looked at Jiajia who ran over with some surprise. Jiajia pulled Xu Dalin and ran into the house. The arrow couldn't shoot Jiajia.
"Set fire!" the man in black gave orders as he fought with the princess. Suddenly, the house was on fire. Jiajia and Xu Dalin ran out of the house. They choked on the smoke and coughed.
The princess and the man in black also hit the ground from the roof. The princess was surrounded by the men in black. Xu Dalin knelt on one knee to support his body. He was no longer able to fight. Jiajia and Lu Qiao helped Xu Dalin. Xue Lan has been caught by the man in black.
"Princess, surrender!" said the black-clothed man with a smirk as he held the princess's sword.
"Don't think!" the princess's sword became sharp.
"You're going to die of exhaustion!" the man laughed.
"Who said that?" Wu Liang's hand grabbed the man's throat. The princess's sword stabbed the man in the left shoulder.
"Princess, do you dare to kill me?" the man was still laughing.
"Tell them to get out!" snapped the princess.
"What if I say no?" said the man, with contempt. Wu Liang's hand used a little force.
"You dare!"
"What don't I dare! I don't know you!" Wu Liang smiled.
"Don't hurt him!" the princess said.
"Princess, I don't want to die! If he doesn't give the order to let his men go!, I'll kill him first!" Wu Liang didn't buy it at all. He lit up his captive.
"You guys, you guys get out!"
The man's men hesitated to retreat.
"Let her go! Get out!" Wu Liang picked up the arrow on the ground and threw it out. One person was killed instantly. The others immediately retreated into the distance.
Xue Lan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Lu Qiao picked her up and followed the princess into the car. Xu Dalin was in a coma because of his injuries. Wu Liang put him on the second car. The coachmen were all killed. Midori drove the princess's carriage forward. Wu Liang drove the second carriage forward.
"You'd better let me go!"
"I'll take you to see my father!" said the princess coldly.
"What if I see it? Will my father kill me? Second sister! I won't dare next time! No, there will be no next time!"
Could it be that he is the princess's elder brother? Then why did you assassinate the princess? Wu Liang's ears are very smart.
"Stop!" the princess ordered.
"Princess, are you really going to let him go?" Wu Liang jumped out of the carriage and walked to the princess's car. The princess and the man had already gotten out of the car.
"Remember your promise!" said the princess softly.
"I can't forget! I've drawn it myself, what else?"
Wu Liang saw the paper in the princess's hand. He stepped forward and unraveled the man's acupuncture. The man walked away calmly.
"Just let him go, he's going to kill you!" Wu Liang was a little unwilling.
"He's my brother!
The princess's words were Wu Liang's surprise. He was even more worried about the princess's future.
Wu Liang finally saw the gate of the capital. This capital is really extraordinary. The gate alone is unusual. The walls were tall and sturdy, and the gates were wide and heavy. The vermilion lacquer is particularly bright, and each of them is inlaid with ninety-nine copper ingots. The guards on the edge of the city were neatly armoured, and the soldiers held their heads high. The pennant fluttered on the castle tower.
The princess's car drove to the city gate, and a man who looked like a general came to inspect it, and then he let it go. The car drove slowly into the city.
The city was not as prosperous as Wu Liang thought. The buildings on the roadside are neat and the shops are neat. There weren't many passers-by, but they were all polite.
After about twenty minutes of driving, Wu Liang saw a river. The river is wide, and the water doesn't seem to be shallow. They crossed the bridge and came to the inner city.
The buildings here are gorgeous and there are many shops. There are also more pedestrians on the road, and their costumes are more elaborate. The carriage traveled for about forty minutes, and Wu Liang saw the cornices of the palace. The red walls of the palace are extremely tall. The glazed tiles on the palace wall are particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
Strangely enough, the princess did not enter the palace gate, but went around to the street to the right of the palace. The street is quieter. The trees and flowers on the roadside have traces of being pruned.
At the end of the road is a princess's house. The mansion is not luxurious from the outside. The princess and her party got out of the car. Wu Liang carried Xu Dalin on his back and followed the princess and others into the mansion.
