Tang Shishi took advantage of the heat of the battle, leaning on his waist and sneaking away from the other side.
It was dark at the moment, there were shadows in the woods, and the gloomy wind was blowing. Tang Shishi took advantage of the shade of the woods and walked away quickly. When she left, the battle seemed to be more intense. Tang Shishi silently prayed for Zhao Zixun in his heart, and said softly: "Sir, it's not that I fled, but I chose the solution with the least damage. You wait, I'm calling Someone came back to save you."
After Tang Shishi left the fighting arena, he ran quickly without concealing it. At this time, a knife stabbed at Zhao Zixun's back, but Zhao Zixun didn't notice it. Zhou Shunhua gritted his teeth and stood in front of Zhao Zixun regardless of his body.
The tip of the knife pierced into Zhou Shunhua's abdomen, and Zhou Shunhua groaned. Zhao Zixun turned around and found that it was Zhou Shunhua. Zhao Zixun kicked the assassin away, wrapped his arms around Zhou Shunhua, and quickly said, "Shunhua, how are you?"
Zhou Shunhua was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she covered the wound with her fingers, and her hands were soaked with blood in an instant. She exhausted all her strength and said intermittently: "Sir, hurry up."
Zhao Zixun hugged her, glanced around quickly, hugged her horizontally, and ran towards a place. The assassin leader waved his hand and ordered in Turkic language: "Chase!"
"Head, the other woman is gone."
The assassin leader frowned tightly and said in a bad tone: "Who is she?"
"I don't know, but she appeared with Prince Jing. There were originally two women, but now there is only one left, and the other has disappeared."
"Not good." Someone in the team said, "She went back to move rescue soldiers."
The assassin leader's face was gloomy. He was negligent and missed a person. Originally, he didn't take women seriously, and dealt with Zhao Chengjun's son wholeheartedly.
This woman was quite astute, she didn't faint from fright, and she didn't foolishly try to save Zhao Zixun. Instead, she knew how to go back to rescue soldiers. The target of the assassins was King Jing originally, and if they let her pass on the news, they would have lost all their efforts.
The leader looked gloomy and said, "Black Eagle, you go after that woman, and the others come with me. Be sure to kill Zhao Chengjun and his son."
"Yes."
In the camp, Zhao Chengjun was reading the newspaper in the tent when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Zhao Chengjun put down the newspaper and listened attentively. This time the movement was more obvious, just outside his tent.
Zhao Chengjun opened the curtain with a cold face, and the soldiers on duty outside were catching foxes. When they saw Zhao Chengjun coming out, they quickly pleaded guilty: "See your lord. Your lord, have you been disturbed by this fox? This subordinate is negligent in his duty, so he will be driven away..."
Zhao Chengjun raised his hand, and the soldier's words stopped naturally. The little fox felt a familiar smell and moved to Zhao Chengjun's feet with a squeak. Zhao Chengjun lowered his head and quietly looked at this lifeless little thing.
Zhao Chengjun asked, "Where is Tang Shishi?"
"Miss Tang?" The soldiers were surprised, looked at each other, and said, "I don't know. Is Miss Tang not with the prince?"
Zhao Chengjun remained silent. Tang Shishi said that she went out to find the fox, but the fox was in the tent and did not run out at all. What did Master Tang do
Zhao Chengjun said with a cold face, "Come here, search the forest."
This lake is quiet and remote, some distance from the camp, which is why Zhou Shunhua chose it at the beginning. Unexpectedly, these advantages have now become a deadly poisonous arrow shot at Tang Shishi.
Tang Shishi ran halfway and was horrified to find footsteps behind him. She ran with all her might, but was caught.
Tang Shishi didn't dare to look back. She was too anxious to pay attention to her feet and accidentally tripped over a stone. At this moment, an arrow brushed past her hair. If Tang Shishi hadn't suddenly fallen, the arrow would have hit Tang Shishi's back.
Tang Shishi was so frightened that she didn't dare to stay on the ground, so she hurriedly got up and continued to run. At this time, several arrows passed by her side, Tang Shishi staggered to dodge, and finally slipped and fell on the pile of fallen leaves.
Tang Shishi wanted to get up, but the people behind him were getting closer. He drew the knife, the blade reflecting a faint light. He was covering his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but there was no emotion in his eyes, all of which were cold killing intent.
Tang Shishi couldn't help but step back, still talking, trying to divert the assassin's attention: "This strong man, I'm just an ordinary maid in the team, I usually do some cumbersome work, and I can't even see King Jing's face. . You killed me for no purpose, but wasting time. Isn't it just for money that you worked for others? My family has money, we can discuss how much you want. "
The man in black turned a deaf ear to Tang Shishi's words, and he approached Tang Shishi step by step, the tip of the knife raised slowly. The last bit of luck in Tang Shishi's heart was extinguished. She suddenly opened her throat and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Jing, there are assassins! Ah..."
As soon as Tang Shishi made a sound, the man in black was afraid that his tracks would be exposed, so he immediately slashed at Tang Shishi with a knife. Tang Shishi closed her eyes in fear. She thought that she was going to confess here in her life. At the juncture of death, she was not thinking of the hero and heroine, nor the position of the empress dowager she was thinking of, but her hometown in Linqing.
When she left, she held her breath and refused to look back at Linqing. At that time, she only wanted to make a name for herself in the palace, and then return to the province. She got on the official ship going south, without any hesitation and no nostalgia.
It turned out that was her last look? When things developed to this point, everything was her own choice, and there was nothing to regret. Tang Shishi just regretted that she could not go back to Linqing to see her mother, and then see the Tang family.
It seemed that time was slowing down at the juncture of life and death. Tang Shishi heard the sound of the blade breaking through the air, and even felt the wind from the tip of the blade swept her face. There was a faint sound of arrows behind him, followed by a muffled hum, and a stream of heat rushed on Tang Shishi's face.
Tang Shishi closed her eyes tightly, and it was not until the sound of complicated footsteps around her that she woke up like a dream and realized that she was not dead. Tang Shishi opened his eyes, gasping for breath, a white horse slowly paced to her side, its hoofs curled up gracefully.
Zhao Chengjun put away his bow, sat upright on his horse, and said leisurely, "Come out to find a fox? Just walk around in the woods?"
Tang Shishi was stunned for a while, a few drops of blood hung on her eyelashes and fell suddenly. Tang Shishi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly struggled to get up: "My lord, there is an ambush in the woods."
"I know."
"The prince is surrounded by assassins, and now I'm afraid it's more fortunate than good."
"Zhao Zixun?" Zhao Chengjun seemed surprised, but he felt it was all reasonable. No wonder Tang Shishi appeared here, no wonder she lied and left the camp.
It turned out that it was all because Zhao Zixun was there.
At a critical juncture, Zhao Chengjun did not pursue Tang Shishi's deception, but asked, "Where are they?"
Tang Shishi wanted to get up, but he couldn't use his hands and feet, and he tried several times without success. She supported herself on the ground and tried to use her fingers to indicate the direction: "At the edge of a lake, the place is very remote, I probably have to go from this direction..."
Tang Shishi made gestures for a long time, but he still couldn't tell the direction clearly. She struggled to support the ground and said, "I'm going to lead the horse, I know where the road is."
"No need." Zhao Chengjun said with a sullen face, "There is no time. Reach out."
Tang Shishi didn't know why, and looked at Zhao Chengjun suspiciously: "What?"
Zhao Chengjun leaned over and stretched out his arm towards Tang Shishi. Zhao Chengjun's fingers are slender and well-proportioned, and the joints are even. At first glance, he looks like a pair of pampered hands. There are slight calluses on the tiger's mouth and finger pulps, which are more powerful than graceful.
Zhao Chengjun's face was cold and indifferent, with no special expressions, as if he was in a hurry, and said, "Give me your hand."
Tang Shishi was stunned, until Jiaoxue stepped on the horse's hoof impatiently, and she tentatively stretched out her arm and held Zhao Chengjun's hand. As soon as Zhao Chengjun came into contact with Tang Shishi's arm, he immediately used force, held her hand and lifted her up and placed it in front of him.
Tang Shishi just sat on the horse in the blink of an eye, with Zhao Chengjun behind him. She froze suddenly, not daring to move: "My lord..."
"Don't talk nonsense, there's no time. Show the way ahead."
Tang Shishi could only turn his neck stiffly, staring at the road ahead like a puppet. She sat on Jiaoxue's side, Zhao Chengjun's arms wrapped around her waist and held the reins, as if he was holding her in his arms. Tang Shishi tried his best not to pay attention to Zhao Chengjun's broad and powerful chest, his warm and powerful body temperature, and his ubiquitous breath.
Her back was tense, reminding Zhao Chengjun to "turn left" and "turn right" from time to time. Even if the horse in the woods couldn't run fast, it was much faster than a human's footsteps. Soon, Zhao Chengjun and a group of guards arrived at the place where Tang Shishi was attacked just now.
Tang Shishi let out a snort, and could not avoid suspicion, he looked at the ground with Zhao Chengjun's arm: "Impossible, they were still here just now."
Zhao Chengjun's eyes were as bright as falcons. He quickly scanned the traces of fighting on the ground, quickly locked in a direction, and took the lead in patting the horse: "They ran towards here. Chase!"
Tang Shishi didn't know what Zhao Chengjun judged the direction the assassin and Zhao Zixun were leaving.
When Tang Shishi saw the cliff, he felt bad. The protagonist would be chased and killed as soon as he was in the wild, and he would fall off the cliff as soon as he was chased and killed. Shouldn't the plot of Zhao Zixun and Zhou Shunhua be so old-fashioned
Zhao Chengjun Yu made Jiaoxue pace the edge of the cliff and said, "Someone fell."
Tang Shishi's heart sank, and he blurted out: "Is it the prince?"
Zhao Chengjun's face was also not good. He said with a sullen face, "Is it true? Go down and have a look and you'll know. Come on, go to the bottom of the cliff to search for people, if you live to see people die, you will see corpses."
"Yes."
The guards clasped their fists on the horse, then lined up in two lines and ran down the cliff quickly. A team of guards stood by Zhao Chengjun's side and said earnestly, "Your Highness, you are rich and precious, and you can't take risks. There are lowly guards here, you can go back to the camp and rest."
Zhao Chengjun shook his head and said, "This king is not a woman, why is he so delicate. Zhao Zixun hasn't found it yet, what is this king going to do?"
Zhao Chengjun said, glanced at the guard's horse, and instructed: "Give your horse out. Send a group of people to escort her back."
Tang Shishi reacted that Zhao Chengjun was referring to her, and immediately said, "No. Your Majesty, the life and death of the eldest son and Sister Zhou are unknown. I can't wait to take my place. How can I go back to rest by myself
Zhao Chengjun didn't believe a word of this, and still said, "Send her back."
Tang Shishi could no longer fool Zhao Chengjun with his pretty words, so he quickly said, "Your Highness, no. You are outside, the prince is outside, and I am the only one in the camp. If the assassins attack the camp at night, wouldn't I be more dangerous?"
The guards on both sides had just vacated their horses and were subtly silent when they heard Tang Shishi's words. This girl Tang... how is it different from what they thought
Zhao Chengjun knew that this was the truth, he thought about it, and even thought it made sense. Most of the people were searching for Zhao Zixun outside. The camp was really not safe. Zhao Chengjun changed his mind and said, "Forget it, you should continue to follow. Fan Yong, bring the horse and watch her."
The named guard clasped his fists and responded loudly, "Subordinates obey."
Tang Shishi changed to another horse, led by Fan Yong, and slowly trailed behind the search team. The wind at night was full of chills, and Tang Shishi folded his arms, feeling a little cold.
Zhao Chengjun noticed that on the surface, he was calm, but he took off his cloak and threw it on Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi was shocked when a red object suddenly flew in front of her eyes. She was quite surprised when she saw that it was Zhao Chengjun's cloak. She secretly looked at Zhao Chengjun, Zhao Chengjun looked ahead, his face was cold, and he could not see any emotions. If it wasn't for Zhao Chengjun's cloak in his hand, Tang Shishi would have thought it was an illusion.
Tang Shishi thanked him in a low voice and wrapped the cloak around himself. The cloak also carried Zhao Chengjun's body temperature, which was warm and spacious inside, and was faintly dipped in a scent.
Tang Shishi didn't know what kind of fragrance it was. The smell was very light, but it had a long stamina and was quiet and elegant. It was the smell of Zhao Chengjun. Tang Shishi secretly sighed, one's background and class cannot be concealed. Zhao Chengjun guards the frontier and often deals with warriors. He is a rude person in theory, but his every move has the unique fineness of the court.
Incense is a habit that only the imperial court of the Forbidden City and the wealthy family have.
Tang Shishi was in a daze, when a soldier's voice suddenly came from the front: "My lord, there is blood here!"
Bloodstains? Tang Shishi's spirit was shocked, and all his thoughts returned to the cage in an instant. She knew that Zhao Zixun was injured. Was this pool of blood left by Zhao Zixun
Zhao Chengjun also had the same suspicion, he said solemnly: "Follow the blood and keep looking."
Bloodstains come and go, and it is not easy to identify them in the dark. They followed the blood trail to a stone cave, and the soldiers who opened the way ran back and reported, "My lord, the blood has disappeared in the stone cave."
The cave was dark and looked like a natural cave. Zhao Chengjun dismounted, stood at the entrance of the cave and watched for a while, then whispered, "Be alert in line, and search in slowly."
"Yes."
The men were all around the entrance of the cave, and Tang Shishi was worried about Zhao Zixun's whereabouts, so he also dismounted. She saw Zhao Chengjun parked in front of a stone, stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"
If Zhao Zixun got inside, there should be bloodstains all around. Zhao Chengjun stared at the blood on the edge of the stone and did not speak, but his brows slowly wrinkled.
The bloodstain is slender and radial at the edge, which is the shape that only splashes can have. If these bloodstains were really left by Zhao Zixun, they should be dripping, not splashing.
Zhao Chengjun realized that it was not good, and immediately said loudly: "Withdraw, there is an ambush here."
Zhao Chengjun suddenly made a sound, and the assassins realized that their whereabouts were exposed, and immediately began to attack. Tang Shishi was concentrating on finding traces, and without warning, many people suddenly jumped out around her, and many arrows hit her.
Zhao Chengjun reacted abruptly, he couldn't see clearly when it was dark, and the assassin couldn't see who was giving orders. He only knew that the one in red was King Jing. Now, it is Tang Shishi wearing his cloak.
Zhao Chengjun thought badly, and immediately grabbed Master Tang and pulled her behind him. Tang Shishi didn't know what happened, his wrist was suddenly held. She staggered, and vaguely heard Zhao Chengjun say to her, "Take off the cloak."
Tang Shishi didn't know why, but he went to untie the tie immediately. However, it was too late, the assassins identified the direction and attacked her together. Zhao Chengjun had no problem getting out by himself, but to protect Tang Shishi, he immediately fell off. Zhao Chengjun was forced to take two steps back and entered the cave with Tang Shishi. At this time, with a bang, a boulder quickly fell from the entrance of the cave, sealing the exit firmly.
