into the bosom

Chapter 292
When the whistle stopped, everyone held back their breath, for fear of missing the sound.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long while, there was no reply at all.

Emperor Xian's face became even uglier, "Blow it again."

"Yes." The imperial guard's face was ashen-colored at the moment, and the hand holding the golden whistle couldn't help trembling. Tremblingly, he raised the golden whistle to his lips, blew a few whistles, and it was like that just now. like waiting.In just a few breaths, Xu Jiao saw that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down from his temples, which was pitiful.

After waiting for a while, when Emperor Xian was about to get impatient again, there was finally some movement from the depths of the forest.

"Here we come." The forbidden soldier was the first to show a happy smile.

It's just that the joy didn't spread in time, Deputy Commander Zi suddenly raised his eyes to look at a certain place in the forest, and shouted "Be careful, Your Majesty."

Almost at the same time, the sound of cold arrows piercing the air suddenly reached the ears, and a rain of arrows suddenly shot in the forest.

Deputy Commander Zi swung his knife to cut off a sharp arrow that was directly attacking Emperor Xian's face, and at the same time shouted, "There are assassins, escort them!"

The rain of arrows came suddenly, and in an instant, several people were hit.But fortunately, Ziyiwei was well-trained, and soon came to his senses, and pulled out their waist knives one after another, protecting Emperor Xian and others.

When Deputy Commander Zi yelled the initial sentence "Your Majesty be careful", Xu Jiao, who had been on guard because of anxiety, quickly slid off the horse's back, and at the same time, dragged Li Xi who was stunned on the horse's back. When they got down, the two ducked and hid behind those tall purple-clothed guards and imperial soldiers.

When the dense rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the forest, the purple-clothed guards and imperial guards not far in front of them missed several shots and were shot by sharp arrows. Xu Jiao changed his face when he groaned. Turning his head suddenly, his eyes stabbed at Li Xie like electricity.

The latter also paled slightly, met her eyes, and shook his head in a state of bewilderment.

Xu Jiao gritted her teeth, now is not the time to pursue this.Moreover, judging from this posture, I'm afraid Li Xie, a little clever but not vicious little lady, can arrange it.

After a shower of arrows, a dozen black-clothed masked men rushed out from the direction where the arrows rained just now, waving sharp knives in their hands, and rushed straight to this end.

A group of purple-clothed guards and the imperial guards also killed them, and in a short time, they became a group.The waiter Gan next to Emperor Xian tremblingly took out a ringing arrow from his sleeve, lit it, and released it into the sky with a "swish".

Almost at the same time, a masked man in black was cut down by two purple guards and fell to his feet not far away. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving. Out of one neck.

"Your Majesty, look!" Gan's servant was sharp-eyed, glanced at it, and suddenly said in a high-pitched voice.

Xu Jiao and the others were not far away, and they looked over after hearing the sound.Most of that neck was stained with blood, but you could still clearly see a vague black mark on it, which was the same as the mark on the captured Beijie assassin and Lanzhou's inexplicably drowned boy Songtao.

Xu Jiao's heart sank suddenly, and he saw Emperor Xian suddenly turned his head and looked at her.

She obviously didn't say anything, but Xu Jiao met his eyes, and her already heavy heart sank again, but the next moment, she had to lower her eyes, and suddenly shouted, "Be careful behind you, there are stabs in the back .” But they used the dialect of the Jie tribe.

Following her words, several of the masked men in black suddenly turned their heads and looked behind——

Emperor Xian's expression slightly changed when he looked at Xu Jiao, but it was not difficult to see his satisfaction.

Xu Jiao's hands hidden under the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and the nails were deeply embedded in the palm.What about hiding her special skill as promised?She actually betrayed her as soon as she said she would sell it, and she had to let her catch up on her own.Of course, even if she pretends to be stupid and pretends not to understand Emperor Xian's hints, even if she doesn't take the initiative to speak, Emperor Xian will tell her clearly in a while, it's better for her to speak up, no, His Majesty's good feelings towards her are not just Are you satisfied?

Those black-clothed masked men realized that they had been duped, and became even more furious. They yelled obscenities in Beijie dialect, and became even more merciless when they became angry.Another person took out an object and blew it, and the sharp sound like the cry of a beast pierced the sky.

Xu Jiao's complexion changed slightly imperceptibly.

In the next moment, someone grabbed her hand fiercely, "Jing Yue, you. Look!" It was Li Xie, her face was half pale, and she tremblingly raised her hand to point not far away, those black The direction the clothesman came from.

Xu Jiao raised his eyes, and saw another twenty or so figures approaching quickly, each of them holding a light crossbow in their hands, and from time to time, there were sharp arrows coming through the air.

Zi Yiwei, who stood in front of them, fell down two more.

"Escort Your Majesty, retreat!" Deputy Commander Zi's purple shirt was half stained with blood, and he waved his waist knife while yelling orders in a low voice.

Most of those purple-clothed guards were killed, and some of them were badly injured, and some of them could not get up anymore, but they didn't seem to be afraid at all, they all responded "yes", and they all took waist knives , Protecting Emperor Xian with his flesh and blood, and slowly retreating.

For a person like Emperor Xian, how can He De win the loyalty of these people who protect each other with their lives?For a moment, Xu Jiao's chest was full of complexities, and he joined hands with Li Xie, and was also protected among them, fighting and retreating.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Xi stumbled and fell to the ground, bringing Xu Jiao to the ground as well. In the scene of turning pale with shock, one of the light crossbows was facing them, but at the moment when they fell down, it lifted up and released the feather arrow.

With a muffled groan, the purple-clothed guard in front of them deflected the arrow with a knife, but he couldn't dodge completely, and was still shot in the arm.

There was another shout of killing not far away, and another dozen black figures rushed out of the forest.

Xu Jiao was horrified, how many killers were in ambush?
The hand she was holding Li Xie was soaked in cold sweat, and her palm was slippery.They fought and retreated all the way, and they just retreated to a mountain depression, and the sight of those assassins was blocked... In the blink of an eye, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, she turned her head and said to Emperor Xian, "Your Majesty, this is not the way to go! Why don't we run away separately! Your Majesty's safety is related to the well-being of the world, absolutely nothing can happen, Your Majesty loves the moon, and is willing to use your body as a bait to lure some killers away, Your Majesty is blessed by the heavens, and death will be auspicious!"

After Xu Jiao spoke uprightly, she bowed deeply, her actions were totally beyond everyone's expectations, whether Emperor Xian or Li Xie, including Gan Neishi and others all stared at her in a daze.

"Princess, don't do anything foolish!" The purple deputy commander also heard it, and while wielding a waist knife and cutting down another person neatly, he shouted loudly, wanting to come closer, but he didn't want to be surrounded by several assassins again.

As if Xu Jiao didn't hear it, he said, "Your Majesty, forgive me!" As he spoke, his hand was like lightning, and he stretched out his hand to take off the bright yellow dragon pattern cloak on Emperor Xian's body, and he couldn't help but put it on himself with his backhand. On the body, the other hand was holding Li Xi tightly, saying "Xue Xue, Hong Ying! Go!" and hurriedly took steps.

Li Xi was stunned, and thought in a daze, you want to be loyal to the emperor, why drag me up?

Although Lingxue and Hongying didn't know why she made such a sudden move, they didn't hesitate at all, responded and followed her closely.

"Yingyue... Yingyue, don't do anything foolish!" Emperor Xian came to his senses and shouted loudly, but he didn't know if he was afraid of attracting the attention of those assassins, so he didn't dare to speak too loudly. He scolded angrily, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you let a few people follow? If there is something wrong with the princess, I will take you to ask!"

There was a sword in Hongying's hand, she was out of its sheath at this moment, the snow glowed darkly, she raised the sword in her hand, stabbed the person in front of her, picked up the waist knife in his hand, and handed it to Lingxue, who took it, the two of them left and right, Protecting the sides of Xu Jiao and Li Xie, Xu Jiao also held a short dagger in his hand, but it was not used for the time being.

She dragged Li Xi, and ran forward all the way, looking back from time to time, and saw that there were indeed several assassins chasing towards them.

Li Xie finally came back to his senses, and while walking along without a choice, he looked back and saw that only a few assassins were chasing him, and at the same time, several purple-clothed guards were also chasing him.She couldn't help but said, "Your method is too clumsy, those assassins don't seem to be fooled! Moreover, you are so disregarding your own danger to try to lure the assassin away for him, but how did they treat you? Look, Pai People can count them on one hand! If it’s not for acting and doing a full set, but also for others to see, he might not even send these few people!”

Xu Jiao dragged her to continue fleeing into the depths of the dense forest, while replying in a flat tone, "I just want to be clumsy! I'm a woman, what kind of thoughtful solution can I think of when I'm in a hurry? But it's all about being loyal. I want it." , those assassins are not fooled!"

"What do you mean?" Li Xie suddenly felt that there was some deep meaning in her words, and frowned in confusion.

"Running for your life! Why are you talking so much? Shut up!" Xu Jiao finally had time to turn his head to look at her, but he gave her a hard look.

Li Xi still had a lot to ask, so he had to shut up for now.

Xu Jiao's strategy obviously failed, she did not lure away too many assassins, the number of those assassins was twice as many as that of Emperor Xian's guards, and they acted as if they were desperate for their lives, and they were extremely ferocious in their actions. Emperor Xian and his party were blocked in the mountain depression, unable to move.If this goes on, sooner or later he will be invincible.

Emperor Xian's face was extremely ugly, and he asked quickly, "Where are the reinforcements? Why didn't the reinforcements come?"

No one could answer him, the people standing in front of him fell down one after another, the despair and fear rose in Emperor Xian's heart like never before, could it be...he is really going to die here today?No!cannot!He is the son of heaven, and has a lucky star beside him, so he should live the same life as the sky, he will not die, no!
The heavens seem to have heard his prayer, and there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes outside the valley, followed by the sound of swords and swords intersecting. The assassins turned around and attacked outside the valley. Only Emperor Xian, the waiter Gan, and a few guards who were in charge of guarding him were left.

The sound of fighting outside the col gradually subsided, and you could faintly hear Deputy Commander Zi yelling "Keep alive", the sound outside gradually subsided, and two bloody figures came slowly from outside the col, and appeared in sight.

Deputy Commander Zi's purple clothes were mostly stained with blood, while the other man, wearing black armor, could not see any traces of blood, but a few drops of blood splattered on his cold face, which looked like a sculpture made of ice and snow. Er Wen's eyes, coupled with the murderous look all over his body, gave people an illusion that Shura was alive.

I don't know if it's because he was wearing such a suit of armor today, or because he killed someone just now, the first time he saw Helianshu, Emperor Xian was filled with fear.In the past, I only heard about his reputation, but I have never seen his terrifying appearance with my own eyes. I just think that it is good that he has such a reputation, it just shows that he and the police guard are a handy knife.But if you really face it directly, you will still feel almost instinctively timid.

It wasn't until he saw him and Deputy Commander Zi knelt down in front of him with fists folded together, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being too late to save you!" Xiandi's fear suddenly disappeared.

No matter how powerful it is, so what?Aren't you going to bow down to him?

Emperor Xian regained his composure, with confidence in his heart, and a smile on his face, "Helian Aiqing, please get up quickly, thanks to Aiqing's timely arrival, I was not in danger!"

"This is what a humble job should do." He Lianshu replied in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is better to leave as soon as possible."

"That's right! Ai Qing is right, since that's the case, you should quickly escort me away!" Emperor Xian was about to make a move as he spoke.

"Your Majesty! Please, Deputy Commander Zi, escort His Majesty to leave! I will take a few people to look for Princess Yingyue and Miss Li Wu." He Lianshu said coldly.

Emperor Xian let out an "Ah", and then said, "Yes! Look at my memory, I should look for these two children, they led the assassin away for me, it's my fault, I didn't stop them! "

A deep worry appeared on Emperor Xian's face, but He Lianshu just glanced at it, and kept his eyes down.

Emperor Xian suddenly felt a little inexplicably guilty, waved his hands and said, "Go! We must rescue Yingyue and Xiexi safely, go quickly!" Now he became Emperor Xian again in a hurry, adding The worry on his face is really like an elder who is worried about the younger generation.

He Lianshu clasped his hands together, answered "Yes" quickly, then turned around abruptly, and strode away.

After a while, there was a sound of horseshoes going away.

Emperor Xian's face darkened, and he said coldly to Deputy Commander Zi, "Take the assassin and return to the Hunting Palace."

"Yes." Deputy Commander Zi replied without saying a word.

In a valley not far away, Xu Jiao and Li Xi were short and holding their breath, and they hid in the bushes with Xue Hongying, watching the men in black who were chasing them divide into two groups, one group and Those purple-clothed guards who were chasing after them fought, but the others searched the surrounding bushes hastily, turned their heads and left after finding nothing.
