Chapter 259 Assassination
After being forced to retreat back to the gorge bend by falling rocks, several guards were injured by falling rocks in order to protect them. At this moment, they supported each other and retreated.Murong Huayi protected Su Leyan tightly all the way, and after retreating to a safe place, he checked carefully before he was relieved.

"Go to help Wei Lie. This king wants to live." Murong Huayi frowned and looked at the messy road blocked by falling rocks.

The few people who were not injured immediately took orders and climbed up the plants along the cliff. Only two bodyguards who were injured by falling rocks and who were not very agile were left. They were skillfully bandaging themselves so as not to Because of my own mistakes.

"My lord..." Su Leyan looked at Murong Huayi.

"It should be someone from the Seventh Prince."

Only Murong Yu would want his life so urgently.Thinking about it this way, Murong Huayi became even more suspicious of the truth of the incident on the border of Liangguo, and vaguely felt that this matter must have something to do with Murong Yu.While Murong Huayi was deep in thought, several black shadows suddenly sprang out from behind, the sharp sword flashed coldly, approaching Murong Huayi and Su Leyan with a deadly momentum.

"My lord, be careful!"

The injured guard drew his sword eagerly to resist, but after all, he was injured and could not compare with the number of people, so he unfortunately fell under the enemy's sword within two moves.

Murong Huayi blocked Su Leyan behind him, "Don't leave my side."

Su Leyan nodded, "I won't trouble you."

Only then did Murong Huayi feel at ease against the enemy in front of him.It was the first time that Su Leyan knew that Murong Huayi's skills were so good. She usually thought that he was just strong. Facing attacks coming from all directions, he was able to dodge the counterattacks with ease and knocked down two of them at once.However, the opponent's sword held many advantages, no matter how capable Murong Huayi was, it was difficult for him to retreat completely. With blood on his body, Murong Huayi became more certain that these assassins should obey Murong Yu's orders.

Just when Murong Huayi had no time to separate himself, the man in black who had been doing nothing outside the edge suddenly drew his sword and killed the two men in black who stood in front of him, and landed beside Su Leyan.Su Leyan was concerned about Murong Huayi's condition, when she suddenly saw someone attacking her, she was shocked and immediately ran away, but the man in black suddenly pulled down her veil, "Le Yan, it's me."

"Smile?!"

Before Jiang Xiaozuo had time to explain, he stepped forward and took her hand, "Follow me, I will take you to a safe place."

Su Leyan hesitated, "My lord..."

"They are the assassins of the Seventh Prince." Seeing that Su Leyan cared about Murong Huayi and refused to leave, Jiang Xiaozuo protected her behind him, facing the danger that might attack him at any time, "The person they want to kill is Murong Huayi , has nothing to do with you, Murong Huayi has the ability to protect himself, Le Yan, leave here with me."

"Why are you here?" Su Leyan looked at Murong Huayi anxiously, although it was difficult to make a choice, she still followed Jiang Xiaozuo to the side.

"I..." Jiang Xiaozuo hesitated, "I followed the people Yan Zhi sent to kill you."

"How did you get involved with Yan Zhi?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaozuo under such circumstances, Su Leyan was more shocked than happy.At this moment, Jiang Xiaozuo no longer hides from Su Leyan.After that **** and Su Leyan were recruited by Yan Zhi on the street, Jiang Xiaozuo left first, but then went to look for Yan Zhi after Su Leyan left.

"Smile, why..."

Jiang Xiaozuo felt a little sad when he thought about the past, but looking at Su Leyan now, he smiled slightly and was very relieved, "Yan Zhi misunderstood the relationship between you and me, so I made the mistake of committing myself to work under his sect, I just ask him to let you go as soon as possible." Liberty, he also believes in my feelings for you very much, and staying with me is also to restrain you, and I also use this to take advantage of him."

"You mentioned to me the grievances between your parents and Yan Zhi in the past. Yan Zhi had a private relationship with the generals of the Liang Kingdom. When your father and Yan Zhi went to the Liang Kingdom more than ten years ago, they discovered that Yan Zhi was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Afterwards, there was nothing. There is no evidence, so I have been unable to tell the matter, but he seems to have grasped the evidence of Yan Zhi's crime, so Yan Zhi designed to arrest your father and put him in prison, and then poisoned him in prison..."

Su Leyan only knew that her mother was killed by Yan Zhi, but she didn't know that there was such a grievance behind it, and the hatred in her heart was getting deeper and deeper.

"I overheard this matter when Yan Zhi was talking with other people in the house after the border friction between the imperial court and Liangguo a few days ago. Mrs. Yan Zhi was very worried that the old things would be exposed, but Yan Zhi was very sure. …After killing your father, no one will know the truth at that time. And your mother was killed by Yan Zhi. Your mother has never been able to accept that your father will die because of corruption and fear of crime, and has always wanted to get With Yan Zhi's help, after many visits, Yan Zhi was afraid that she would know the truth, so he also killed her..."

Su Leyan fell into silence.It turned out that the bad luck I suffered since I was a child was all caused by Yan Zhi...

"After you disappeared this time, Yan Zhi wanted to put you to death. I was worried about your safety, so I secretly followed the assassins he sent all the way here. I was in Ruzhou a few days ago, and I didn't know how to meet you, how to To tell you these things..."

Jiang Xiaozuo told her everything, and Su Leyan's heart was full of turmoil.Her family should have shared family happiness, but their lives will be ruined by Yan Zhi alone... No, she can't die, she can't just die like this, she must make Yan Zhi pay for it...

"Le Yan, I know you are poisoned, I..."

"Be careful, Le Yan!"

The devastated Su Leyan completely lost her vigilance, Jiang Xiaozuo was eager to comfort her but was careless for a while, a man in black suddenly turned around and came straight to Su Leyan, who was facing them with his back, Jiang Xiaozuo hurriedly pulled Su Leyan, holding the sword Fighting, kicking, the man in black took a few steps back with a muffled sound, and then a sharp sword flew towards the man in black, and stabbed it firmly into the man's back chest, blood gushing out, the man in black tilted his head with a muffled sound fall down.

Murong Huayi kicked the sword in his hand, and immediately fell into a disadvantageous position. Several men in black raised their swords and slashed at him. While dodging, he stooped to pick up a few stones, and hit the man in black neatly on the wrist, snatching away a piece of paper. Putting the sword straight into the opponent's throat, blood splashed all over Murong Huayi.

"Hua Yi!"

Su Leyan looked at the tragic battle on Murong Huayi's side, and called out worriedly.

Murong Huayi naturally recognized Jiang Xiaozuo, he parried the enemy in front of him, and said calmly: "Take her away!"

"Le Yan." Jiang Xiaoyan pulled Su Leyan's hand.

"Smile, I can't leave him here alone..."

"Le Yan, there are enemies up there!" Jiang Xiaoxuan was in a hurry, "I followed all the way secretly, and found that two groups of people have been watching you secretly. The people at the tea stall just now are Yan Zhi's subordinates, and these people are all Murong. The people sent by the imperial court, they want to put Murong Huayi to death, and it will only be more dangerous for you to stay here."
