Paranoid male protagonist always wants to attack me

Chapter 26
There was still no movement inside the carriage. The torch held high outside sparked sparks in the wind. It floated higher and higher, flickering and flickering, as if it was about to set the curtain of the carriage on fire.

"Since the Eighth Prince refuses to get off the carriage, my brothers will be offended. Search for me." The commander of the imperial army gave an order, and the imperial army team behind them raised their torches and started to search.

Seeing the severe situation at the moment, Xuan Sheng had no choice but to come forward, and lifted the curtain at the door of the carriage, but it well covered Shen Mingxi's figure in the carriage.

He pretended to be drunk, as if he had just come down from a banquet.

"You guys are quite courageous, you dare to search the carriage of the king directly." Xuan Sheng was still holding the curtain at the door of the carriage, looking at the person who had half stepped into the carriage, and stopped him.

"I'm afraid you don't want the position of the commander of the imperial army." Holding the majesty of the prince, he said coldly.

"Whether the minister's job is guaranteed or not depends on whether the minister can complete his task, not on the prince." The commander of the imperial army said indifferently without being moved at all.

"Continue to search."

The people of the Eighth Prince who pretended to be eunuchs and guards pulled out their swords and confronted him in an instant, blocking the forbidden army who was about to search, and blocked them from the carriage.

"Eighth Prince, are you trying to disobey the order?" The commander of the imperial army looked at the two sides fighting with each other.

From the weird behavior from the beginning, and the appearance of resolutely blocking the search, it can be said that it is [-]% sure that if the emperor wants to find something, it must be inside.

Even if it is not there, there must be a ghost.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and just as the commander of the Imperial Guard was about to directly kill the surrounding guards and force him to search the Eighth Prince's carriage, he saw someone coming from the direction of the palace.

The horseshoe nails collided with the stone bricks on the palace road, making a crisp sound, and behind him a group of soldiers surrounded the carriage in an orderly manner.

It can be said that the encirclement is airtight, let alone run away, even if you have wings, you will not be able to escape.

Xuan Song straddled the royal horse under him in front of the army, and slowly came to the carriage of the Eighth Prince, looking at Xuan Sheng who was guarding the carriage door, he didn't think it was strange.

"At this time, shouldn't the eighth brother be at the palace banquet." After a pause, seeing Xuan Sheng's flustered expression, he continued.

"Why did you leave the palace suddenly at this time?"

He was asking questions, but his tone was affirmative, as if he knew the other party would be like this early in the morning, and there was no surprise at all.

"The younger brother was too drunk, so he left the table first, and wanted to ask Brother Huang what he is doing now?" Xuan Sheng asked without any panic, but the curtain in his hand was soaked in sweat.

Xuansong smiled and turned his head sideways, looking at the place where the door of the carriage was covered by the curtain, "I didn't do anything, I just lost something and I need to find it."

"However, my things... seem to be where the eighth brother is."

"Please eighth brother, hand over my things." It was not a request, but a direct order, with a look of contemptuous eyes, looking down at the person in front of him.

It seems that the other party is just a plaything, an ant, no matter how much you writhe, you can't escape from your palm.

The Eighth Prince Xuan Sheng didn't speak, but just looked at the crowd of soldiers surrounded by the fire light around him. At this moment, there was probably no other way.

Even though he knew in his heart that he had lost this game, he still didn't want to bow his head.

The curtain that Xuan Sheng was holding on to was wrinkled quite a bit, but he just refused to let go.

He didn't understand why Shen Mingxi expected that he would lose in the end, but he looked at the eyes that were mixed with blood and blood immediately.

Then he understood that the gentle appearance of Xuansong before was just a disguise of going out these years, and it really deceived everyone's eyes.

At the beginning of the fight for the throne, who would have thought that the most favorable contenders, the Fourth Prince who was born in the first place and the Ninth Prince who was the grandfather who held the military power, would all be defeated by this person's scheme.

Who would have thought that the person sitting on the throne now would be Xuan Su.

That's right, no one would have expected that if it wasn't for him to suddenly know something at the end, it would be too late to intervene.

A person with a humble temperament, gentleness, politeness, general intelligence, and dedication to the common people will have this dark and indifferent face.

Sure enough, how can a person who can sit on the throne be a person with a gentle appearance.

Xuan Sheng smiled, only thinking about making this last fight, he lifted the curtain and pulled Shen Mingxi, who was fidgeting and trembling inside, in front of him.

The sharp dagger at the frame and neck was pulled along with Shen Mingxi's figure, cut through the skin, oozing bright red blood, and soaking the skirt of his clothes.

Shen Mingxi tilted his head back, tried his best to avoid the dagger that was attached to his neck, he was so painful that he dared not move an inch.

But when he got out of the carriage, he suddenly met the eyes of the man on the tall horse.

She couldn't see through him from the beginning, and she still couldn't see through him now, and she didn't understand why there was still a trace of worry in those indifferent eyes.

Is that for yourself?
"Eighth Brother, what are you going to do?" Xuan Song just slightly raised his eyebrows at the Eighth Prince's move, as if he was watching a play again.

"Brother Huang, I don't want anything else, how about a life for a life." Xuan Sheng glanced at the hostage in his hand, looked at Xuan Su, and made a deal.

The sharpness of the dagger was far beyond Shen Mingxi's imagination, even though it did not move while cooperating, it still enlarged the wound.

There was more and more blood, which slid down the dagger and onto Xuan Sheng's hand, and then dripped down.

Xuansone squinted his eyes and looked at this scene. He neither agreed to the other party's deal, but also did not refute it.

"I'm very angry now."

Xuansong looked at the Eighth Prince, and said he was angry, but his tone was still flat, the indifference on his face remained unchanged, he just pulled the horse rope under him, and approached a little bit.

Xuan Sheng knew that the person in his hands was his only bargaining chip, as long as he could escape from Shangqing Kingdom, he would not worry about making a comeback.

"The only one who can hurt her is me." Eyes raised slightly, looking at Xuan Sheng with cold eyes, as if he was just a dead person.

As soon as the words fell, the hidden guard who was originally protecting Xuan Sheng, a man pretending to be an eunuch, suddenly turned his sword back and slashed behind Xuan Sheng.

The sudden change and betrayal caught Xuan Sheng by surprise, and the severe pain and strength behind him made Xuan Sheng loosen his grip on Shen Mingxi.

It's just this sudden change, the situation reversed instantly, the Eighth Prince's hidden guards were massacred in just one breath, and Xuan Sheng was directly captured alive.

Xuansong got off the horse, looked at Shen Mingxi who was lying on the ground, walked up to him and squatted down.

Due to the excessive blood loss caused by the wound on the neck, Shen Mingxi's mind began to be a little dazed, and he lay on the ground weakly.
