Chapter 56: Assassination in the middle of the night

What is the purpose of joining the army?

Is it for military merit, for rights?

Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't.

Some people join the army in order to accumulate merit for themselves and become a big official in the future.

Some people join the army just to get enough to eat.

There are also those who join the army out of necessity.

Because of the barren land, Ye had to wage war and loot the surrounding countries when the treasury was empty, otherwise the common people would not be able to eat.

The hardships of the Ye Kingdom are known to the common people, and the hardships of the common people are also known to the monarchs.

But there's no way around it.

Who wants to fight?

Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life?

But the world is such a world, and the world is such a world.

The news from the Ye State side has not come for a long time, Chu Yujia can only temporarily live in the Xingguan Post Station in the city, as for Meng Feihang, he is in the city during the day, and he has to go to the military camp outside the city to rest at night, which is also for his safety.

Although the Qi State is not in the bitter cold land of the northwest like the Ye State, it is also the north.

Because of the snow, it was very cold tonight, and a north wind blew in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, there was a slight noise outside the door.

It was the sound of someone tiptoeing down the corridor.

Chu Yujia, who was lying on the bed, did not move, but his eyes opened a slit.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, those eyes seemed to flash an imperceptible light.

After three years of wandering the rivers and lakes, Chu Yujia's nerves became sensitive, after all, to protect the safety of his daughter, he can't sleep too hard as a father, otherwise when he wakes up, his daughter will be lost, and there will be no place to cry.

The candles in the room had been extinguished, but the moonlight was shining through the window, and although it was not very bright, it was still possible to see things clearly.

At this time, a crack was opened in the door, and then a black shadow quickly came in from the gap, turned his head to look at Chu Yujia on the bed, and found that he was not moving, as if he was still asleep, so he also relaxed his vigilance, turned around and closed the door lightly.

Although he only glanced through the gap in his eyes, with the other party's slender figure, Chu Yujia still recognized the other party.

This princess is really not worrying, and instead of sleeping in the palace at night, she actually ran into her room.

What she was for, Chu Yujia couldn't be clearer, it was nothing more than that young phoenix sword.

After closing the door, the figure did not move, perhaps to adjust to the environment in the room, or to test whether the person in the bed was really asleep.

After waiting for a while, she stood up, raised her legs, landed lightly, and walked cautiously towards the carved wooden bed.

Chu Yujia, who was lying on the carved wooden bed, tilted his head slightly, and saw at a glance that the woman's hand was still holding a dagger that was bright and dangling, which looked so dazzling under the reflection of the moonlight.

It seems that this girl is not here to find a sword, but to ask for her own life.

walked to Chu Yujia's window, glanced at Chu Yujia, who was lying on it, breathing evenly, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he put the dagger against Chu Yujia's neck, and then raised his hand and patted Chu Yujia's cheek: "The surname is Chu!"

This princess is not bad, at least she didn't rush into the killer.

Chu Yujia was still motionless, lying there was no different from a person falling asleep.

Seeing this scene, the princess was also a little angry in her heart, she didn't sleep at night and ran here just to teach this person a good lesson, but he was so good that he was still sleeping without heart and lungs.

"Stupid donkey surnamed Chu, you get up for me!"

"Take the sword of this princess, this princess is going to kill you today. ”

As soon as her words fell, she suddenly saw Chu Yujia, who was lying motionless on the bed, suddenly raised her arm, and then, she only felt that there was a flower in front of her eyes, and her hand was empty, and the figure of the person on the bed rolled over from the bed like a spiritual snake and sat up, and the dagger in her hand also fell into the palm of the person.

The princess was startled, and instinctively wanted to scream, but as soon as her mouth opened, a large hand covered her.

Chu Yujia pressed her mouth with one hand, stomped on the ground with both feet, almost pushed her backwards, and pressed her all the way to the wall.

Looking at the princess's half face covered by black veil, Chu Yujia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, put it on the princess's ear, and whispered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we just met today, even if you are thinking about me, you won't run into my room at night, and I can tell you that I am already married and have children." ”

Who can this person be, it is naturally the eldest princess of Qi Kingdom, Yan Qingcha.

Although it shows that the Wu Empire does not have the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, and the people are open, but as Her Royal Highness the princess who has been high up since she was a child, when has she been so despised by men?

Hearing the other party's ridicule again, Yan Qingcha's face turned red with anger, and he gave Chu Yujia a slap without thinking about raising his hand.

"Smack!"

This slap was strong, and Chu Yujia's heart was angry.

He was very unhappy when he was woken up at night, and the news transmission from Ye Guo was too slow recently, so he was already resentful, and being slapped down by this princess at this moment made Chu Yujia's anger accumulated in his heart suddenly stimulated.

Almost uncontrollable, Chu Yujia pinched the princess's hand that was still in mid-air, and bit it down.

Yan Qingcha was in pain and wanted to scream, but her mouth was covered tighter by Chu Yujia.

"Damn...... You're damn ......"

She could only keep scolding the person in front of her in her heart.

It's a pity that now she is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and she doesn't even have the slightest room to fight back.

Chu Yujia let go of his mouth, and at the same time let go of the hand that was helpless the other party's mouth, stared at Yan Qingcha in front of him, and said coldly: "You should be glad that I don't kill women, otherwise you will be a corpse today." ”

"As I said, your skills are not worthy of that sword, and when you have the ability, you can come to me and take it yourself. ”

"Bastard...... Bastard ......"

This is perhaps the dirtiest swear word that a highly educated princess can swear.

It's a pity that these words fell on Chu Yujia's ears, and they were almost painless.

Just when Yan Qingcha was still about to scold a few words, suddenly her mouth was blocked again, and then in the surprised eyes of the princess, Chu Yujia's whole person was attached to her body.

Yan Qingcha just wanted to slap Chu Yujia again, but her hands were grabbed by Chu Yujia.

At this time, Chu Yujia asked softly, "The princess also brought someone else?"

Hearing this, Yan Qingcha was stunned for a moment, and shook her head slightly at Chu Yujia, with confusion in her eyes.

Chu Yujia slowly let go of Yan Qingcha's hand, and then made a silent gesture to her, saying, "There are guests coming, you better be quiet." ”

Without waiting for Yan Qingcha to react, Chu Yujia reached out and picked it up, tiptoed a little to the ground, swept towards the wardrobe, first stuffed Yan Qingcha in, and then got into it himself.

The space in the wardrobe was small, and Chu Yujia and Yan Qingcha hid in it, naturally unable to avoid some skin touches, causing Yan Qingcha's newly recovered face to start blushing again.

"If you dare to do anything, do you believe me to tell my father?"

"What about telling?"

"You came here on your own initiative. ”

Just when Yan Qingcha still wanted to speak, Chu Yujia made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said, "If you want to watch the play, don't talk from now on." ”

Take advantage of yourself and still don't let yourself speak?

For a while, the princess was so angry that she wanted to bite the two bites in front of her.

After taking several deep breaths, she finally calmed down.

But at this time, I suddenly saw through the gap in the wardrobe that the window that was originally reflected into the room through the window was blocked by something.

In a short time, a dagger was inserted through the crack in the window, and the dagger opened the wooden gate that hung the window from the bottom to the top, and then the window was gently pushed open, and a black shadow crept in from the outside, followed by five or six black shadows that followed the mermaid.

Among these people, there are those with long knives and those with long swords, and they are all murderous.

Even if you are a fool, you can understand what these people are doing.

Seeing this, Yan Qingcha was shocked, could it really be that someone wanted to assassinate Chu Yujia?

In any case, she is on her father's side, and his father is now vigorously supporting the peace talks between the two countries, and the reason is that she as a woman doesn't want to care about it, and she can't control it, she just knows that it is good to support her father unconditionally.

But if Chu Yujia is assassinated, even if it is only injured, it will affect the relations between the two countries.

The relationship between the two countries is already tense, if Chu Yujia has an accident in the Qi country, the war is bound to start again, and when it comes, I don't know how many soldiers will die in battle, let alone how many people will be homeless.

There is no winner in the war, and it is always the common people and ordinary soldiers at the grassroots level who suffer.

Just when Yan Qingcha was thinking about who sent someone over to assassinate Chu Yujia, the person next to him had already pushed open the cabinet door and rushed out.

Chu Yujia's figure was like the wind, and he rushed behind a man in black, raised his hand and slashed at the back of the man's neck, knocking him to the ground.

The other four saw the man rush out suddenly, and saw the bed empty, even if they thought with their toes, they should know who this man was.

One of them screamed, and slashed at Chu Yujia's head with a knife.

Chu Yujia suddenly turned to the side, avoided the opponent's knife, took a step closer to the opponent's side, and smashed a punch on the person's chin from bottom to top.

This punch knocked the man weighing nearly one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds upside down and flew out, smashed the carved wooden bed, knocked out all the teeth on his mouth, and was dripping with blood, and the person fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, the remaining three Assassins were all shocked.

They had long heard of Chu Yujia's bravery, but they had not seen it with their own eyes, and when they saw it with their own eyes at this time, they also felt that the person in front of them could be described by the word bravery, and he was clearly a monster......

Just as the three assassins looked around and around, thinking about whether to launch an attack, suddenly Yan Qingcha walked out of the closet, and the three of them asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, who sent you......
