Chapter 87 Attacked
This time Gu Xingzhi went to Datong for disaster relief in the name of the imperial envoy.Although the Ministry of Households has no money to allocate, it is not impossible to get out food.So they have another important task on this trip, which is to send these life-saving food to Datong smoothly.

Early the next morning, Gu Xingzhi gave the order to set off.

Disaster relief was not about sightseeing. He did not take a carriage, but rode with the accompanying officials, trying to shorten the distance and send the batch of food to Datong as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, the road ahead is blocked by falling rocks. I have already sent someone to clean it up. I'm afraid it will take some time. Your Highness, please rest for a while."

The closer you get to Datong, the more difficult and dangerous the road will be.It's not that the mountains and rivers are evil, but that they can always encounter some unexpected situations, which will delay their progress.Just like the falling rock that appeared out of nowhere, the soil on the slope was dry and cracked, and I don't know how the rock slipped down...

Gu Xing dismounted from his horse and sat casually on a stone beside him.When he was away from home, he didn't pay so much attention, and kept everything simple, without the slightest arrogance of a prince.Many people who saw him for the first time thought it was amazing.

After all, the third prince in the rumors has an unpredictable personality and spends money like water. I didn't expect the real person to be so informal.And although his expression was not friendly, he had never bullied anyone, and it had nothing to do with the rumored violence.

The people in front were cleaning up the fallen rocks, so Eunuch Liu took the opportunity to fetch some water from the small river next to him.Although the water in this river is about to bottom out, the water quality is still clean. If you put more water in it, you can be prepared.After all, the closer to Datong, the rarer the water source.

It doesn't rain, and the water in the ground is getting less and less. He can be thirsty, but he can't make His Highness thirsty!

After filling up the kettle, Eunuch Liu walked back satisfied.Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of his eyes. Eunuch Liu subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, but when he realized it, he even frightened the kettle away, and shouted: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Masked men in black swarmed from all directions.The sharp swords in their hands shone dazzlingly in the daylight.Just now, Eunuch Liu was dazzled by Jian Guang!

Gu Xingzhi reacted very quickly, the leader of the man in black was obviously coming towards him, he immediately turned over and hid behind the stone.The tip of the sword slid across the stone, leaving a deep mark immediately.

At this time, all the people who followed him surrounded him. The guards brought by the prince's mansion surrounded him and built a human wall with their bodies to prevent the man in black from getting close.Gu Xingzhi stood there calmly, with no trace of fear and fear on his face.

On the contrary, the bloody light that burst out when the sword cut through the skin made him even more sober!
These people obviously came prepared, and first blocked their way with falling rocks, forcing them to be trapped in place.Here, under the hillside, the only way forward was blocked, and the road behind was also surrounded, leaving them nowhere to escape.

The swordsmanship of the man in black is not messy, every move is very methodical.Gu Xingzhi was unarmed, but his eyes were not idle for a moment.Under the escort of his personal guards, he retreated into the carriage, but his eyes fixed on the leader man in black, full of chills.

"Your Highness, you go first!"

The personal guards had a hard time coping, there were so many people in black, and in the disaster relief team, except for them, all the escorting officers and soldiers were entangled.Eunuch Liu had already gotten into the carriage, and he wanted to drive away with Gu Xingzhi, but he was refused.

Gu Xingzhi turned over and jumped onto the carriage, and then quickly pulled out a sword from under the cushion. Eunuch Liu was dumbfounded. When did the sword hide in there?
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" When watching Gu Xingzhi jump down, Eunuch Liu felt his heart jumping out together, especially when Gu Xingzhi rushed into the encirclement of men in black, Eunuch Liu almost jumped Roll your eyes and perform an online ascension!
"Your Highness, this place is dangerous, please leave first!" The captain of the personal guard almost dropped his sword when he saw Gu Xingzhi appearing beside him.The situation was so critical, he couldn't figure out why the third prince would come back!
At this time, it's not like he can show off his strength, he won't show off his strength in front of the third prince in order to prove his strength.If he stayed here, he couldn't guarantee the safety of his master.If they cover their master's escape, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"I Gu Xingzhi, I have never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

A sharp sword slashed head-on, Gu Xingzhi raised the sword with one hand, and took it abruptly.The two swords collided and made an ear-piercing sound. The captain of the personal guard was surprised to find that the third prince actually caught it!
Gu Xingzhi's hand holding the sword was very steady. Taking advantage of the inertia of the enemy's force, he slid down, and the man was carried forward by the sword.At the very moment, he tapped his toes, touched the ground with his sword and turned around on the spot, barely avoiding Gu Xingzhi's swords that followed him.

That's really a hair's breadth away, if it's even one point away, he'll be stabbed through the chest with a sword!

The captain of the personal guard reacted quickly, and immediately shouted: "Protect Your Highness!"

They changed the strategy of the human wall just now, and no longer protected Gu Xingzhi in the middle, but stayed around, constantly fighting with the men in black who rushed forward.Gu Xingzhi, who had lost his protective circle, also opened the confinement, and rushed towards the leader in black with his sword in hand.

"How could this be?"

The leader of the man in black was shocked. He had been in the arena for so many years, and he could tell at a glance whether the other party had a foundation in martial arts.Before coming, the other party made it very clear that the third prince is just a sick child with no strength to restrain a chicken. Why do all the moves have bloodthirsty ruthlessness?
Moreover, Gu Xingzhi's swordsmanship was smooth and his figure was mysterious, which made it difficult for him to deal with it.If the man in black still had time to be amazed just now, he can only put up all his energy to deal with Gu Xingzhi now.

Eunuch Liu also hid behind the guards and was protected.He looked at Gu Xingzhi dumbfounded. Although he knew that His Highness had learned martial arts from outside masters in order to strengthen his body, His Highness had never shown it, so he didn't take it seriously.

After all, His Highness has never looked at the martial arts masters in the palace, so what can one learn from a wandering warlock outside?
But today, he really opened his eyes.Especially when he saw that Gu Xingzhi was on par with the man in black, he was even more dumbfounded.Could it be that the Wandering Warlock is a retired martial arts leader?
Why does His Highness look so good?

Eunuch Liu doesn't know much about martial arts, but he always feels that none of the captains of the personal guard is as powerful as His Highness.After all, when he wanted to go to help His Highness just now, he was directly blocked by the man in black.Even his arm was scratched, blood was flowing...
