After dressing as a princess with cubs, she conquered the whole capital

Chapter 224 Assassination
Lan Guo envoys leave the capital, and Jing Jue is ordered to send them out of the city.

When they arrived outside the city, Jing Jue first said something on the scene with Song Fei and his party, and then came in front of Huo Chenxiao and Lan Qing.

"My lord, be careful on this journey."

King Li's prestige in the army is not comparable to that of ordinary people, Emperor Jing has always been jealous, this time he promised King Li and his wife to go to Lan country with great joy, there is no guarantee that he will not have other plans, so it is better to be careful in everything.

Huo Chenxiao couldn't understand what Jing Jue said, so he nodded, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, First Prince, for your concern."

After mentioning Huo Chenxiao, Jing Jue shifted his gaze to Lan Qing again, his eyes softened a lot unconsciously, "The princess is also on this trip."

Lan Qing just wanted to nod her head, expressing that she would also pay attention to safety, when she heard Jing Jue's next words.

"The journey is long, the princess must take good care of herself, and the most important thing is to take care of her health."

"..." Unexpectedly, what the other party was going to say was this, Lan Qing's original words were choked in her throat.

But after meeting Shang Jingjue's sincere gaze, he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart, and at the same time felt a little happy.

After all, this eldest prince looks exactly like her brother in this world.

It made her feel as if her own brother had told her before leaving.

"I see, thank you Your Highness." Lan Qing's voice softened, and she obediently agreed.

"Okay, it's getting late, so there's no delay, you should leave early." Jing Jue spoke first.

Then he stepped back and let them go.

Seeing the convoy drifting away, Jing Jue also turned around and prepared to go back, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred——

A dozen masked killers suddenly appeared from the nearby woods, with fierce moves, they came straight to Jing Jue!

"Come on! Escort! Escort!" The accompanying officials were terrified by the battle and immediately called for help.

However, the ones who were sent off this time were only ordinary guards, and there was no chance of winning against those well-trained killers.

What's more, no one would have thought that someone would dare to assassinate the prince on such an occasion, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Jing Jue picked up the sword next to him, and dealt with several assassins who wanted to get close, but when he turned around, he found that the accompanying guards and officials were dead or wounded, and only he and the two guards were left.

But on the opposite side, there are still more than a dozen people, and judging from their physical appearance and moves, all of them are masters.

Seeing this, Jing Jue sneered. It seems that the person behind the scene is determined to take his life...

On the other side, Huo Chenxiao who was riding on the horse suddenly turned his head and glanced behind him.

He had already traveled so far, so of course he couldn't see anything with his eyesight, but this did not hinder Huo Chenxiao's judgment.

With his hearing ability, he could hear voices several miles away, and he also had a strong sense of smell, which caught the faint, almost non-existent bloody smell that was blowing in the wind. These were enough to make Huo Chenxiao sure that something happened outside the capital. up.

Wufeng at the side was the first to notice his master's abnormality, and rode forward, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Huo Chenxiao glanced at the team that was still marching normally. Everyone looked as usual and didn't notice anything unusual. He whispered to Wufeng: "Something happened outside the city, you send someone to help the eldest prince and his party."

"Yes, subordinates know."

After listening to the prince's words, Wufeng knew that the matter was of great importance, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurried to do it.

Huo Chenxiao was right next to the carriage, so Lan Qing naturally heard the movement outside, and stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, "My lord, what's the matter, is something wrong?"

Although Lan Qing lowered her voice, many people still noticed their side, and Huo Chenxiao didn't want Lan Qing to worry, so he just smiled, "It's nothing, it's been resolved."

Hearing what he said, Lan Qing also understood that now was not the time to ask, so she simply answered and put down the curtain again.
-
After a hard fight, there were only three assassins left in the end, but Jing Jue was not optimistic. The two guards were at the end of their strength, and Jing Jue himself was injured. His right chest was pierced, and half of his body was covered with blood. stained red.

The leader on the opposite side also noticed it, and said to the remaining two people: "Let's go together, they have no strength to resist!"

The next moment, the three of them raised their knives and went forward. According to their previous information, this eldest prince does not have any power, and his own kung fu can only protect himself.

Unexpectedly, there are many masters around him, and he is also a formidable one. They lost so many brothers in vain due to their carelessness!

At the moment when the three were about to approach, Jing Jue thought that he would die this time, but in the next second, a person appeared behind the three like a ghost and killed them with one blow.

Before those people realized what happened, they died and fell to the ground, their faces were still full of surprise, their eyes were wide open, and they were dying.

Seeing this, the two guards around Jing Jue braced themselves to protect the master behind him, putting on a defensive posture.

"May I ask who is Your Excellency?" Jing Jue watched the other party withdraw his knife, and knew that he was not with those assassins, but the other party's face was covered, which really made him unable to guess his identity.

The masked man didn't answer him, but just said: "Instead of asking who I am, why don't you tell the others to come here quickly, your two guards are seriously injured."

After being reminded by him like this, Jing Jue didn't bother to ask about the identity of the other party, and quickly contacted other people.

When the others arrived, the masked man had already left at some point.

The prince was intercepted and killed when he was sending his envoys away. Emperor Jing was furious when he heard about this, and ordered Dali Temple to investigate the murderer with all his might. Take people away.

After the people left, Jing Jue sat up clutching his wound, looked at the empty room, and said coldly: "Find out the instigation behind the scenes, I want them to pay a hundred times the price!"

After Jing Jue finished speaking, the candlelight on the table flickered slightly, and then returned to calm.

After finishing speaking, Jing Jue leaned against the bed again, staring at the bright candlelight in a daze...

Lan Qing and the others followed the envoy of the Lan Kingdom for a day, and finally arrived at the next station before dark, and moved in smoothly.

After dinner, Lan Qing was taking a bath, Wu Feng walked to Huo Chenxiao's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Wu Ying is back."

"how?"

"Just as the lord expected, someone outside the city gate hired murderers to intercept and kill the eldest prince. Wufeng went there in time and dealt with the rest of the people. Now the eldest prince has returned home to recuperate from his injuries."

"Oh, I see."

Seeing this, Wufeng asked one more question, "My lord, do you want to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"No need." Huo Chenxiao shook his head.

Hearing what the prince said, Wufeng didn't say anything more, bowed and retreated.
