After rebirth and breaking off the engagement, I supported the new king to ascend to the throne

Chapter 48 Assassination at the City Gate
The next day, as soon as Shen Chenbi went out, he saw Sun Xuemei kneeling at the door with a pale face.

It was a cold night, her hair was covered with frost, dewdrops fell from her hair to her pale cheeks, and her lips were still trembling.

Shen Chenbi was dressed in radiance and his eyes were somewhat mocking.

"Are you still following?"

Sun Xuemei frowned, slowly raised her head, and said word by word: "This slave is willing to continue to serve the girl." What an idiot!

The smile on Shen Chenbi's lips deepened, and her eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Then go ahead."

Sun Xuemei was overjoyed, "Thank you, Miss."

She was most afraid that if Shen Chenbi didn't want her to continue following him, she would have no chance.

As long as she is allowed to follow, she will not believe that she has no chance of climbing up.

When the time comes, she must let Shen Chenbi be her maid and suffer all kinds of torture!

After resting for a night at the inn, everyone was full of energy and continued to head towards the capital.

Sun Xuemei was not in good spirits because she stayed up all night, but she felt much calmer on the road.

I thought I would enter Beijing smoothly, but suddenly the carriage jolted hard.

"What happened?"

Shen Chenbi asked immediately, but the coachman did not answer.

Her heart sank, and she subconsciously touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

Sure enough, she knew that entering Beijing would not be so smooth.

I'm afraid the people behind the scenes don't want Ye Xuanchen to return to the capital.

Suddenly, there were sounds of sword attacks and screams outside. Sun Xuemei had never seen such a scene in the mountains all year round. She subconsciously opened the car door and ran out.

It happened that a man in black killed a guard beside the carriage with a sword, and blood spattered Sun Xuemei's face.

She immediately trembled and screamed in panic.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

idiot!

Shen Chenbi looked a little impatient and wanted to push Sun Xuemei out of the car so that she would not get in the way.

And it was her shout that exposed the women's carriage.

The roof of the car shook violently, and it was obvious that someone had climbed onto the roof.

Shen Chenbi quickly pushed Sun Xuemei out, rolled to the side and hid under the wooden chairs.

With a "stab" sound, a sharp sword was inserted into the car, with blood stains on it.

Immediately, a man in black rushed into the carriage and attacked Chenchenbi with a sword.

At this critical moment, the sword in the man's hand was knocked away by another sword, and then penetrated straight into the heart.

Ye Xuanchen's tall figure appeared in front of the carriage, his dark eyes full of worry, and he looked at Shen Chenbi: "Are you okay?"

Shen Chenbi shook his head slowly, and suddenly his eyes narrowed: "Be careful!"

An arrow flashing with cold light shot straight at Ye Xuanchen. He turned around and swung his sword to deflect the arrow.

But the next moment, countless arrows rained down, and Shen Chenbi exclaimed: "Come in quickly!"

She dragged Ye Xuanchen into the carriage, and Sun Xuemei was frightened. She stared at Ye Xuanchen crawling in like a dog crawling in, her face trembling with fear.

bang bang bang-

The arrows pierced the carriage like a hedgehog, the horse pulling the carriage fell to the ground, and the carriage tilted instantly.

"Ahhh!"

Sun Xuemei's body flew into the air and she screamed again in fear.

"Shut up!" Ye Xuanchen shouted sharply, his brows filled with boredom, and he held Shen Shenbi firmly in his arms.

Suddenly, Sun Xuemei bit her lip and did not dare to call out again.He was afraid that he would be disgusted by Ye Xuanchen and block his way to climb up.

After the wave of arrows ended, Shen Chenbi said, "We have to find a way to get out of here."

Ye Xuanchen let go of her: "I'll go out to check the situation. You stay in the carriage for now."

This carriage is made of fine agarwood and is of excellent quality. Not a single arrow in the hail of arrows penetrated the carriage wall.

"Okay, be careful." Shen Chenbi nodded in agreement.

Ye Xuanchen opened the car curtain and went out, joined Ying Yi, and was alert to the surrounding situation.

At this time, another group of men in black emerged from the forest on the side. They raised their knives and slashed at the two of them.

There was a fight, and cold arrows were shot from time to time.

Shen Chenbi quietly hid in the carriage, his expression condensed.

The assassination this time must be the prince's, there is no doubt about it.

Unexpectedly, the prince could not wait to send Ye Xuanchen to his death.

Ye Xuanchen and Ying Yi were extremely skilled and always protected the carriage.

However, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. These men in black move quickly and have high martial arts skills.

From time to time, he rushed into the carriage to kill Shen Chenbi.

Sun Xuemei was so frightened that she kept shrinking towards the inside of the car. She glanced at the calm-looking Shen Shenbi with her peripheral vision, and a bold idea emerged from the bottom of her heart.

If Shen Chenbi died here, couldn't she just stay with Ye Xuanchen and find a way to become his woman in the future?

But as long as she lives, it will become her obstacle.

Thinking of this, Sun Xuemei's eyes were full of malice, and she could hardly restrain herself from looking at Shen Chenbi.

Anyway, she is blind now. If she bumps into the tip of the knife, it is none of her business if she dies.

Sun Xuemei's face was full of calculations, which Shen Chenbi could not ignore even if he wanted to.

She looked at the flash of swords outside and listened to the sound of swords clashing. She sneered in her heart and probably guessed what Sun Xuemei wanted to do.

Sure enough, the moment a knife with cold light slashed in, Shen Chenbi felt a huge push from her shoulders, trying to push her onto the knife.

With a cold look in her eyes, Shen Chenbi grabbed Sun Xuemei's wrist with her backhand and moved it around. She used a clever move to push Sun Xuemei out of the carriage.

"Ah!" Sun Xuemei looked at Shen Chenbi in shock, almost in disbelief.

But before she could think about it, she saw that her body was about to hit the tip of the knife, and the man in black was dealt with by Ye Xuanchen in time.

Sun Xuemei suddenly fell out and fell to the ground.

She covered her heart with lingering fear, looking at the devastated dead bodies, and panicked to climb into the car.

whoosh-

A cold arrow shot straight through Sun Xuemei's shoulder. The pain caused her to scream: "Ah! Help! Help!"

Shen Chenbi looked at the injured Sun Xuemei, with ridicule flashing in his eyes, he deserved it!
Suddenly, the sound of armored horses was heard, and smoke and dust filled the air in the distance. General Yue Xing rushed over on horseback. The soldiers behind him immediately surrounded the carriage and Ye Xuanchen to protect them.

Yue Xing personally led his soldiers to fight with the men in black and captured them all.

When the last man in black was eliminated, Ye Xuanchen took Shen Shenbi's hand and carried her out of the carriage.

Sun Xuemei covered her shoulders and complained with a pale face: "Your Highness! It was Miss Shen who pushed me. She wanted my life! And she asked the prince to make the decision..."

Unexpectedly, Shen Chenbi glanced at her lightly and said, "Xuemei, you obviously shot this arrow specifically to protect me, why are you saying that I pushed you now?"

"Besides, as a blind man, how can I push you down accurately?"

Sun Xuemei could not refute Shen Chenbi's words, and her face became extremely ugly.

Sun Xuemei almost gritted her teeth. Facing Ye Xuanchen's icy cold light, she could only accept the credit with frustration.

He reluctantly twitched the corner of his lips and said insincerely: "I remembered it wrong. The girl was right. I helped you block the arrow. Fortunately, the girl is safe..."
