The concubine is often hard to chase: the prince stands aside

Chapter 65

Xuanyuanze still smiled, but Xiao Ruoyi could feel the pressure under that smile.Xuanyuanze is such a person, such a person who cannot let people ignore his domineering aura even if he smiles.

"Yes! Brother Huang, don't worry, my younger brother will definitely protect her." Xuanyuan Yi replied.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Ruoyi couldn't help but sneer in her heart.Is it true that these two people are not in the same family?The same hypocrisy!Xuanyuan Yi originally hated himself to the extreme, but he chose to say something to protect himself.And he honestly guessed that even he tricked himself into it.Besides, Xuanyuan Ze, who knew it was a dead end, wanted to force himself to go, but he wanted to say such duplicity in front of Xuanyuan Yi.

Facing these two hypocritical guys, Xiao Ruoyi simply didn't say anything, and got on the horse directly, and rode away after the two people's hypocrisy was over.But she is really glad that her previous interests were wide enough, so horse riding is not a problem.

Both Xuanyuanze and Xuanyuanyi saw what Xiao Ruoyi meant, so they didn't say anything more.In the end, Xuanyuan Yi said goodbye to Xuanyuan Ze, got on his horse, gave an order, and led an army of 20 soldiers away.

Xuanyuanze stood on the spot and watched the 20 troops leave. He didn't know what he was thinking, but the smile on his face deepened a bit.

Hua Yuebin was standing diagonally behind him, so he could see the change in Xuanyuanze's expression.Xindao: I finally got rid of this thorn in my side, can I rest assured?But things will not go as you imagined, this time the old man will definitely get back what you owe me.

Hua Yuebin was thinking like this, but he didn't notice that Xuanyuan Ze had turned around to look at him.It can be seen that Hua Yuebin has lost his mind, and Xuanyuan Ze can more or less guess why he has lost his mind.However, he said calmly: "Is the prime minister worried about Yi? Don't worry! I can trust Yi's ability."

Hearing Xuanyuanze's words, Hua Yuebin quickly withdrew his thoughts, cupped his hands and said to Xuanyuanze: "What the emperor said is true! The old minister is too worried!"

Xuanyuan Ze smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's natural for the Prime Minister to be worried, after all, the Prime Minister is still Yi's father-in-law in terms of seniority!"

"The old minister dare not! The lord and the emperor are a family, and it is a blessing for her daughter to marry the lord in her tenth life. How dare the old minister call himself an elder?" Hua Yuebin hastily declined.

Xuanyuanze answered casually, "Why is the prime minister so ignorant?" After that, before Hua Yuebin could say anything, he had already got into the sedan chair, put on a frame and returned to the palace.

After five days of marching, the army led by Xuanyuan Yi had left the most prosperous Central Plains region and entered the relatively impoverished Northwest region.It's a big place and not very crowded.Often there is only one town at a distance.Most of the army camped overnight in the wild.

That night, Xiao Ruoyi lay on the bed, leaning against the roof of the tent, and fell asleep after watching.It's been like this for the past few days. The non-stop rush every day made her feel nothing but tired.So I always lie down on the bed and fall asleep within 3 minutes.

But today she slept very restlessly.She always felt that someone was coming in, but because she was too tired, she couldn't even open her eyes.Could it be that I am dreaming?She couldn't hear any sound from the tent at all, presumably it was a dream.Thinking of this, she felt a little more sleepy.

Just when she was about to fall asleep completely, and even had no more dreams, a burst of murderous aura woke her up completely.Can't go wrong!As a killer, she would never mistake such an obvious murderous intent.She opened her eyes suddenly, and almost at the same time, a sharp knife cut down her neck.Xiao Ruoyi grabbed the quilt and covered the head of the person passing by, the movement of the person's hand was a little slow because he couldn't see, Xiao Ruoyi immediately rolled off the bed, ran out of the tent, and shouted, "Come on People, come on people! It's on fire, put out the fire!"

But before she ran out of the tent, the man threw off the quilt and chased after him, swung the sharp knife in his hand, and slashed at Xiao Ruoyi fiercely.It seemed to be hacking randomly, but it happened to block Xiao Ruoyi's escape route.The other party was dressed in black night clothes, including his face was wrapped in black cloth meticulously, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

Xiao Ruoyi dodged left and right. Although he narrowly avoided the opponent's attack, he was also in a panic.Gradually, the opponent's attack became more and more fierce, and she also felt that she was about to parry.But because she was the only woman in this army, even though the tent she lived in was in the middle of the entire barracks, the other tents were far away from her.And she is the princess after all, in order to avoid suspicion, everyone will never approach her tent if there is nothing to do.In this way, it will be even more difficult for her to ask for help!

But now there is no other way but to ask her for help.The other party seemed to be a master, and from his increasingly anxious movements, his patience was about to be worn out.Xiao Ruoyi had to bring in reinforcements before he lost his patience.

At this time, she happened to dodge behind the table because of avoiding the opponent's knife, and glanced at the candle on the table, and she had a flash of inspiration.Immediately grab the candle and throw it aside.The candle was almost extinguished because it hit the tent suddenly.For a moment, there was no light in the tent, and the man in black was stunned for a moment, completely unable to understand why Xiao Ruoyi did this.Do you want to escape while you can't see it?

But the tent that was dark in the next second suddenly brightened up, and it was brighter than ever before.It turned out that the candle flame met the tent made of cloth and burned, and the fire became bigger and bigger.But in the blink of an eye, all the tents on the other side were on fire, and the fire was spreading at an alarming speed.

The man in black hadn't reacted yet, only heard the noisy noise outside.

"It's on fire, put out the fire!"

"The concubine's tent caught fire, go and report it to the prince!"

……

Words like this kept coming, and the man in black finally understood that Xiao Ruoyi's intention of throwing away the candle was to attract people over.But now is not the time for him to analyze the situation.The rescuers were about to rush over, so he couldn't stay longer.Although this woman could be killed in sight, it was a pity to leave now.But there is still a chance to kill her. If he is caught, things will be troublesome.So the man in black turned around and ran out quickly.

When it was too late, Xiao Ruoyi grabbed the dagger she put under the pillow for self-defense, and threw it at the man in black.Xiao Ruoyi's way of throwing the dagger was quite professional. After the dagger was out of her hand, it shot straight at the man in black.Xiao Ruoyi has always been very confident in her flying knife skills. Back then, some people joked that she was the descendant of Xiao Li's flying knife.

But the man in black had martial arts after all, so when the dagger was approaching the man in black's body, he was already aware of it.The opponent dodged to the side, and the dagger that was supposed to hit his vitals pierced his shoulder.But he did not slow down at all in his escape, and several jumping people had disappeared from Xiao Ruoyi's sight.

At this time, her tent had almost completely turned into a sea of ​​flames, and she was still standing inside.

When Xuanyuan Yi rushed over, he saw her standing under the completely burnt-out tent supported only by a few brackets, his heart tightened, and he rushed in without even thinking about it, and pulled out Xiao Ruoyi who was in a daze , shouted: "What are you on the nerves?"

Xiao Ruoyi returned to her senses after being yelled at by him, fixed her eyes on Xuanyuan Yi in front of her, then withdrew her hand, and said calmly, "Someone wants to kill me!"

Before Xuanyuan Yi had time to ask what was going on, Yu Ye hurried over, "My lord, a suspicious person escaped just now. The subordinates sent people to chase after him, but they failed to catch up."

Xuanyuan Yi glanced at Xiao Ruoyi, seeing that she was not injured, he felt a little relieved.Xiang Yuye said: "Continue to send people to look for it, and make sure to find it."

"Yes!" Yu Ye took the order and turned around to leave.

"Wait, Mr. Yuye!" Xiao Ruoyi stopped Yuye, turned to Xuanyuan Yi and said, "My lord, there are no people in this place for several miles, and it's all plains. It's impossible to hide people. So I guess the other party must be still in the army." Middle. No, to be precise, the opponent must be someone from the army!"

"So you have a clue?" Xuanyuan Yi asked.

"His shoulder was injured, and it is impossible to recover in such a short time. This should be enough to find him!" Xiao Ruoyi said.

Xuanyuan Yi nodded, and said to Yu Ye: "Yu Ye, go and find out who it is!"

Yuye left after receiving the order.

After Xuanyuan Yi looked at the almost unrecognizable tent behind Xiao Ruoyi, he asked, "Why did it catch fire?"

"If it wasn't on fire, would you guys find out?" Xiao Ruoyi casually answered, then turned around and entered the tent that the guards had rebuilt for her.Before getting the money, she turned back to Xuanyuan Yi and asked, "When will you give me the result?"

"tomorrow!"

After getting a definite answer, Xiao Ruoyi went directly to the account.In fact, the past few days, Xuanyuan Yi's attitude towards her has been very good, at least compared to before.He wouldn't want to teach her a lesson, wouldn't call her a "slut" all the time, and didn't encourage his subordinates to bully him.So in the past few days, the two of them got along fairly well.

But this can't change the fact that Xiao Ruoyi hates him.In short, she is very vengeful, so Xuanyuan Yi has been included in the ranks of his hate from the beginning, so it will not change in this life.

After Xuanyuan Yi watched her enter the tent, he ordered people to strictly control Xiao Ruoyi's tent.He didn't want what happened tonight to happen a second time.Fortunately, that woman is quite smart, otherwise the other party might have already succeeded.Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yi was inexplicably afraid.

Seeing the guards stand up outside Xiao Ruoyi's tent, Xuanyuan Yi turned and walked to another tent.When he walked to the front of the tent, he didn't make a sound, but directly lifted the curtain and broke in.

The people in the tent obviously didn't expect that someone would come at this time, and hurriedly pulled the quilt beside them to wrap themselves up in panic.

Xuanyuan Yi looked coldly at the panicked man on the bed, "It really is you, Li Li!"

The man named Mo Li knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply lifted the quilt and got out of bed, saying: "My lord, I am also following orders!"

Of course Xuanyuan Yi knew that he was following orders, and that he was following Hua Yuebin's orders.Xuanyuan Yi didn't expect that Hua Yuebin was full of promises to what he said that day, but in the end he played this kind of trick behind his back.If it weren't for the inconvenient time to tear up his face with that old fox, he would have killed Li Li without hesitation.

Xuanyuan Yi took a few steps forward, and saw a dagger stuck in Mo Qi's shoulder, and the blood stain on his shoulder clothes had already been soaked.Xuanyuan Yi suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger, Li Li bared his teeth in pain.

Xuanyuan Yi ignored it, but carefully observed the dagger. If he remembered correctly, the dagger belonged to that woman.I heard from Xiao Ruoyi just now that the other party was injured.It's just that Xiao Ruoyi didn't seem to want to say anything more, so he didn't ask.Looking at the situation now, it was the woman who hurt Li Li.But Li Li's martial arts are not weak, so how could a woman succeed without any injuries?

Mo Li pulled a piece of clean cloth and bandaged the wound.During the interval, he said to Xuanyuan Yi: "My lord, that woman is really not simple! She was able to calmly think of a way out when she was so nervous."

Xuanyuan Yi didn't answer.Xuanyuan Yi has already seen this point!
Li Li continued: "Also, I originally thought she didn't know martial arts, because when I killed her, she didn't do anything other than dodge. But when I ran away, she shot the throwing knife accurately. If I hadn't dodged quickly, the throwing knife would have killed me directly. Prince, isn't this strange? Could it be that she is just pretending that she doesn't have martial arts?"

Came out?Xuanyuan Yi stared at the dagger in his hand. He originally thought that Xiao Ruoyi should have stabbed Li Li's body with the dagger, but he didn't expect to hurt Mo Li in such a way.This really surprised Xuanyuan Yi.Accurate knife throwing skills are definitely not something that can be practiced overnight.Did that woman really hide herself all the time?

I remember that when Xuanyuan Yi saw Xiao Ruoyi's extraordinary skills when he was in Yihong Courtyard that day, he believed that she had martial arts.
