Chapter 122

Although Zheng Shishi can fight against ten with one, and King Xiaoyao is enough to protect himself, but after all, the opponent has a lot of people, and each of them is a life-threatening master, so soon, their side is completely at a disadvantage. Apart from Zheng Shishi, of the other four guards, two were dead and two were wounded in battle, while on the assassin's side, there were more than a dozen of them, and there were still seven or eight left!
Seeing that she was completely unable to resist, the princess thought of a way to survive in a desperate situation. She secretly took out a fire pocket from a bundle in the carriage, and asked two maids to cover it. Silk clothes, boil it with a fire, and throw it out at a nearby place with the most fallen leaves!

Because it is now in late autumn, the weather is characterized by dry wind and dry things.In addition, in the maple forest, fallen leaves everywhere may spontaneously ignite at any time, even if there is no external force to manipulate it. Now that the princess's flaming clothes touch the dry leaves, what's the point?It was just a little bit, and the flames of Lao Gao burst up in an instant.

The assassins who were killing in the dark were confused by the sudden fire. One of them reacted the fastest and shouted: "No! We can't let this fire start! They are calling for help!"

That's right, the original intention of the princess was to ask for help!

This maple forest is already very close to the Wangcheng. If there is a fire here, the people in the Wangcheng will be able to see the fire to a large extent. The eyes and ears of King Xiaoyao or the Holy One in the Wangcheng should notice!Taking a step back, even if they didn't notice, there is a village nearby, and the government can't just sit idly by!

Although by the time the rescuers arrived, they might have been wiped out, but this was always the last hope, and it was the only way they could come up with in this situation.

Long Luofeng and the others also instantly understood Wang Hao's intentions. Looking at the burning fire, they seemed to feel a little hope for life again in their hearts, and their tired bodies also rejuvenated their fighting power!

Seeing that the fire could not be extinguished, the assassins had to readjust their morale. Probably one of the leaders shouted loudly: "Brothers, we must fight quickly! We must kill Xiaoyao before their rescuers arrive. king!"

"Kill the Happy King!"

"Kill the Happy King!"

"Kill the Happy King!"

……

For a while, the morale of the assassins rose again, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding. Seven or eight assassins all rushed towards Long Luofeng. Zheng Shishi and the other two guards resisted desperately, but they were completely red-eyed. In the blazing flames, the strong men looked even more terrifying, as if they were devils from purgatory.

However, on the side of Wangcheng, many people found the flames very quickly. When Zheng Shisan found out, he saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, and the golden flames flickered proudly. He had no special idea at all. , I thought it was just a forest that was on fire, after all, this season, mountain fires are still very common.But when he walked on the street, the discussion of two common people reminded him:

"Hey, do you know where the water came from?"

"Where is the running water? It's obviously a wildfire. If any family has such a big movement of running water, it won't be burned badly."

"Wildfire? Where is it?"

"I heard people say that it seems to be in the maple forest on the outskirts of the city."

"Oh, that maple grove, it's no wonder that it catches fire in this season, and it must be burning very badly this time."

"It's so close to us, won't it spread here?"

"No way...don't scare me!"

……

As soon as Zheng Shisan heard the word "Maple Forest", his heart skipped a beat. After careful calculation, Xiaoyao Wang and his party should have arrived near the outskirts of the city today, and they are not far from Maple Forest at this moment... …

Although I can't be sure, Zheng Shisan's many years in the arena are not in vain, and his experience and sense of smell in protecting Xiaoyao Wang for many years are not fake either.At the very first moment, he used a flying pigeon to send a help alarm to the guards of the palace, and then he dispatched two guards with strong martial arts skills from the Xiaoyao Palace, and hurried to the maple forest!
If Zheng Shisan arrived half an hour later, then he would have to collect the bodies of his brother and Xiaoyao Wang and his wife.

When he arrived, he saw that the maple forest was steaming, and in the flames, there were more than a dozen corpses lying here and there, including a big man in black clothes and black trousers, a woman in beautiful clothes, and others. From the clothes of the men, one can tell they are the guards of Xiaoyao Palace!
On the other side of the two or three carriages, the horses were so startled that they kept raising their hooves and neighing, and the female family members on them hugged into a ball, some cried bitterly in fright, and some probably lost half of their souls in fright.

The most important thing is that side!
He saw his younger brother Zheng Shishi, holding a big knife, standing proudly in the flames, surrounded by four burly men, all panting and exhausted.Behind him, a man was holding a woman covered in blood in his arms, calling her name constantly, his expression was close to collapse.

Zheng Shisan roared, and rushed into the forest with two guards, another burst of swords and blood!
There were only four assassins left. Of course, Zheng Shishi's body was approaching its limit. If Zheng Shisan and the others hadn't rushed over, he wouldn't be able to withstand much effort.With Zheng Shisan's strong martial arts "rescue soldiers", the situation was reversed in an instant. The four assassins were subdued with three strikes and five divisions. He vomited blood and died on the spot.

Afterwards, the bodyguards sent by Long Luochen from the palace also arrived, because it was estimated that there would be casualties, so Long Luochen also sent a few imperial doctors with the team, unexpectedly they were really useful.

"Sixteen assassins are all dead. On our side, four guard brothers died, and five female family members, including four servant girls, and a distant relative of Yongle Hou Mansion..." Zheng Shishi was very emotional. It was sad, "It's all my fault that I'm useless, even they can't protect them! And... and the princess! If there's anything wrong with the princess, I, I will apologize with death!"

Zheng Shisan saw that he was agitated, so he could only curse: "There is no use in apologizing for your death! The princess is a rich man, and with your cheap life, ten times of death is not enough to accompany you!"

Mei Ruotian knew that their brothers were blaming themselves, so she couldn't say anything, so she could only comfort her: "Don't do this, I can't blame you, Fourteen, you are already brave enough...your wound..." He just found out that his His arm was wounded and bleeding.

Zheng Shishi glanced at his bleeding arm, but he didn't care: "I don't care! By the way, you go in quickly, the prince and the others are all inside, and the princess... is in a critical situation, and they are all waiting for you!"

Xiao Mengmeng's condition is critical... Mei Ruotian's head buzzed.
