Fortune Princess

Chapter 23 Dangerous Attack
The hand on the side of the commander was clenched into a fist, with bulging veins, and he continued: "The thief is cunning, and his subordinates are also incapable of maneuvering, so they were scattered by them. It took some effort to get the survivors together. The subordinates I have been looking for His Highness nearby, but unfortunately..."

"I didn't expect God to be merciful, and I finally met His Highness today. It is my subordinate's incompetence that caused His Highness to suffer!"

"In addition, the emperor learned that you were missing, so he sent someone to help, and he will arrive here to join us in two days."

When Xiao Yichen heard the news, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly. He knew what the people in the capital were planning.Dragons and snakes are mixed among this group of people, and it may take some effort to deal with them.

Thinking of those people in the valley, Xiao Yichen's expression softened. He would never allow anyone to disturb their lives!
Jing Yi rested his chin with both hands and looked at the clouds in the distance, wondering where Xiao Yichen was right now?In the past, she only thought that he was so stupid that it made people angry, and couldn't help teasing him, but suddenly without such a person, Jing Yi felt a little boring instead.

"There will be a difference. There is no difference between morning and evening, so don't think too much. Go catch two chickens, and mother will make you your favorite spicy fried chicken today." Seeing that Jing Yi was a little wilted, Fu Qingyu urged with a smile.

Hearing the spicy fried chicken, Jing Yi suddenly regained his spirits, the lethargy just now was swept away, and he happily ran to catch the chicken.Mother was right, a Xiao Yichen was nothing, she still had Uncle Mu, Grandpa Jiang and the others!

Without Xiao Yichen, the days in the valley were still peaceful.

When he learned that the prince was safe and had returned to Beijing, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.Some people with bad intentions secretly hate in their hearts.

Such a good opportunity was not grasped, a bunch of idiots!
The leader of the team sent by the emperor to find Xiao Yichen was Xu Qianxiong, the second son of Xu Zhong, the general who ruled the country.He has always been a general under his father, with an upright temper and extraordinary skills.Xu Zhong is a princeling, and he is very close to Huo Ting and others. Xu Qianxiong ran this trip, and both the emperor and Zhenyuanhou were very relieved.

Several horses were killed along the way, Xu Qianxiong followed Xiao Yichen's order to meet His Highness the Crown Prince in Xingxiang Town.

"My lord, we've been in Xingxiang Town for two days, and we haven't seen His Highness the Crown Prince, so nothing will happen?" Xu Qianxiong's deputy, Qi Rui, came over and whispered.

Xu Qianxiong is short-tempered, staying in Xingxiang Town for two days is already the limit, and Qi Rui reminded him that he had a reason.

"That's right! In case something happens to His Royal Highness, the head on his neck is not enough to compensate. Let's go, let's meet His Royal Highness." As long as he is not bored to count flies every day, Xu Qianxiong can go anywhere.

The group packed up quickly, and before they could leave, someone from below reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.

Xu Qianxiong didn't dare to delay.Immediately got up to pick it up, and Qi Rui followed closely behind Xu Qianxiong.

"The final general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing Xiao Yichen, Xu Qianxiong bowed his head and bowed.

Xiao Yichen got off his horse, stepped forward to help Xu Qianxiong up, and said with a smile: "It will be difficult for you to stay in Xingxiang Town for two days with your temper."

The two are about the same age, when their father held palace banquets, they would always bring Xu Qianxiong and his brother into the palace.Xiao Yichen was able to say a few words to anyone, and soon won the favor of Xu Qianxiong, so they played together.

It's just that after growing up, Xu Qianxiong was mostly in the training ground, and rarely had the opportunity to enter the palace, so naturally the number of meetings was less.

When Xu Qianxiong heard this, he smiled naively, and stroked the back of his head: "The one who knows me is none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness has returned safely, and I finally lived up to my father's entrustment."

There were already subordinates who took care of everything and booked the best inn in Xingxiang Town for Xiao Yichen to stay in.

"His Royal Highness, take a short rest here tonight, and we will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning." Xu Qianxiong said respectfully.

"Okay, I'm sorry, General Xu." Xiao Yichen had no objection, after coming out of the valley, he had been on his way, and he was indeed a little tired.

Hearing His Highness the Crown Prince call himself Little General Xu, Xu Qianxiong showed a row of big white teeth and bowed to leave.He personally chose someone to guard outside Xiao Yichen's room. He and Qi Rui spent the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and must ensure safety.

Everything was quiet in the first half of the night, and Qi Rui came to replace Xu Qianxiong.Xiao Yichen in the room did not fall asleep, and the movement outside the door was clear.

There was a muffled sound outside the door as the drums beat. Xiao Yichen's eyes opened abruptly, his ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of the door being pried open from the outside.

Closing his eyes and feigning sleep, he wanted to see who was impatient and couldn't wait to make a move.

The barely audible sound of footsteps came from far to near, and soon they reached the edge of the collapse. With a flash of silver light, the knife slashed directly at Xiao Yichen's neck.

"Keng!"

When the swords collided, the person who came was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Xiao Yichen kicked the opponent's stomach, causing him to stagger back.

The people who came after realized that something was wrong and rushed forward, Xiao Yichen was also unambiguous, turned his sword and fought with several people.

"My Highness wants to see today, who wants my life." With a pick of the sword, the other party's face mask fell off, showing a look of horror, and then he gritted his teeth, a stream of black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the dead body fell land.

Xiao Yichen's heart trembled, obviously these people were a group of dead soldiers.Seeing this situation, the opponent prepared to make a quick decision, and the offensive became more and more fierce.With one swing of the knife, a bloody gash was drawn on Xiao Yichen's arm.

From the time he discovered them until now, Xiao Yichen has been gritting his teeth and persevering. Although his kung fu was taught by a famous teacher, but the poison in his body is raging, his foundation is worse than that of ordinary people, and now he is at the end of his strength.If Xu Qianxiong does not come again, it is very likely that today will be his death day.

Suddenly Jing Yi's face appeared in his mind, thinking of his worried appearance, Xiao Yichen couldn't help but smiled wryly, maybe he was right.

If Jing Yi were here, he would be able to kill all these people without leaving behind.

"Your Highness! The last general came too late to save you!" A loud shout was especially loud in the inn.

Xu Qianxiong was drenched and furious, he blocked the opponent's attack with a knife, and protected Xiao Yichen behind him.

"Fortunately, it's not too late." Xiao Yichen's face was pale, and his breath was a little confused.

Being scolded could make Xu Qianxiong feel at ease, but Xiao Yichen's words made his rough face turn red, his eyes were bloodshot looking at these uninvited guests, and he vented all his shame and anger on them.

"Keep alive!" Xiao Yichen hastily ordered when he saw Xu Qianxiong killed Red Eye, and there was only one person left on the other side, who wanted to retreat but was forced to escape.

"Yes! Your Highness!" Xu Qianxiong agreed, his strength restrained, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, directly took him down, and knelt down in front of Xiao Yichen.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xiao Yichen's eyes were slightly cold.

"Remove his jaw." The dead man's molars were poisonous, and if he was caught, he would immediately bite through the poison and commit suicide.

Xu Qianxiong quickly removed the opponent's chin, and took out the poison inside along the way.

"Search him."
