When the boulder fell to the ground, there was a loud bang, and Tang Shishi's heart also sank.

No matter how slow Tang Shishi's response was, it was time to react now. The bloodstain is fake, the assassin wants to introduce Zhao Chengjun into the cave. Even the prince Luo Ya is probably a fake. Now Zhao Zixun is just a small prince, and he has nothing without King Jing. He will not join forces with assassins to plot against Zhao Chengjun. , led Zhao Chengjun into the trap they had prepared for a long time.

However, Zhao Chengjun's concern is chaos, and he is in the scheme. Zhao Chengjun could have avoided it just now, but he didn't know why this group of people attacked Tang Shishi. Zhao Chengjun was imprisoned in the cave together in order to drag Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi was very puzzled, why didn't Zhao Chengjun leave? She and Zhao Chengjun are not relatives, so what does her life and death have to do with Zhao Chengjun? Even better if Tang Shishi died, she was the eyeliner sent by the Empress Dowager Yao. Taking this opportunity to let her die in an assassination righteously, wouldn't she kill two birds with one stone

Tang Shishi didn't understand. At the moment when the boulder fell, the assassins hiding in the cave appeared one after another and attacked Zhao Chengjun together. There was no light in the cave, and everything was blurry and unclear. Tang Shishi only knew that there were enemies in all directions, and the only person holding her wrist was her only recourse to fend off all attacks for her.

Tang Shishi's ears were full of the sound of weapons colliding, and he couldn't tell the direction for a while. Gradually, the sound of weapons became less and less, and the sound of gasping in the cave became heavier and heavier. Suddenly, a wind of swords came towards her, and was blocked by Zhao Chengjun's backhand. Zhao Chengjun held the knife with one hand, and pushed Tang Shishi away with the other hand: "If you want to survive, leave quickly."

Tang Shishi staggered two steps, holding on to the stone next to him so that he did not fall to the ground. She felt that the place on her wrist that Zhao Chengjun had just held was sticky, and there was a faint smell of rust. Tang Shishi only touched it once and didn't dare to touch it again, her heart clenched, and her whole body was rigidly leaning on the stone, not knowing what to do.

Now that Zhao Chengjun is fighting with assassins, and no one is chasing her, this is the best chance to escape. But... If she leaves, what will Zhao Chengjun do? He is already injured.

Tang Shishi stalemate next to the stone for a long time, until the sound of the soldiers gradually stopped, and a muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came. Tang Shishi's voice trembled and asked, "Your Highness?"

There was silence in the darkness for a long time, Tang Shishi's heart sank suddenly, just when she thought it was the assassin who won, a familiar voice sounded: "Why are you still here?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and he was unusually calm, as if he was enduring something. Tang Shishi was undoubtedly relieved when he heard Zhao Chengjun speak. It was King Jing's voice, that is to say, it was an assassin who died.

They are safe for now.

Tang Shishi barely found the position of the voice, and stumbled to Zhao Chengjun's side. As soon as she touched Zhao Chengjun's arm, she was startled: "My lord, why is there so much blood?"

Zhao Chengjun propped himself on the ground with his knife and stood up slowly: "Someone else's."

other's? Tang Shishi didn't believe it. But now is not the time to talk about this, she quickly helped Zhao Chengjun to stand up and asked anxiously: "My lord, what shall we do next?"

The guards of the palace were outside, but they were blocked by a boulder. Zhao Chengjun touched the stone wall with his knife, shook his head and said, "Unless you find someone, you won't be able to pry it open for a while. Change paths, you can't stay here, and there are other assassins inside."

Tang Shishi nodded quickly. She looked at the blood on Zhao Chengjun's body and hesitated a little: "But, my lord, the injury on your body..."

"It's okay." Zhao Chengjun cut a piece of cloth from his body, pinched it on the wound, and stopped the gurgling blood, and said, "It's better to take a chance than to wait for death. I heard the sound of water, and followed the sound of water. , there must be a way out.”

Tang Shishi looked at Zhao Chengjun's injury, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only reply in a low voice: "Okay."

Tang Shishi helped Zhao Chengjun to go deep. Zhao Chengjun was right. After a while, the sound of water became more and more obvious, and the fishy moisture in the cave became obvious. Tang Shishi tried to outline the terrain in her mind. She was about to speak when Zhao Chengjun suddenly stopped.

Tang Shishi was taken aback and stopped. What she wanted to ask, Zhao Chengjun raised his finger, motioning her to be quiet.

Tang Shishi held his breath, completely daring to make a sound. In the silence, the sound in the cave was no longer concealed, and gradually, Tang Shishi also heard a series of footsteps.

Listening to the voice, there seemed to be two people, who stopped and walked, as if looking for something. Tang Shishi looked at Zhao Chengjun nervously, and asked with his mouth: "Who is it?"

Zhao Chengjun had a sullen face, and he also wanted to know who these two were.

It may be the rescuer of the palace, or it may be the killer.

Zhao Chengjun gradually put his hand on the handle of the knife, Tang Shishi felt a sticky warmth in his palm again, she knew something was wrong, and Zhao Chengjun's wound burst again.

Tang Shishi was so anxious that he couldn't continue like this. Zhao Chengjun's wound was not treated, and it was already very dangerous. If he confronted the assassin head-on, it would be life-threatening. In the plot of the original book, Tang Shishi didn't follow him to hunt, and Zhao Chengjun was not locked in the cave. The current situation is entirely due to Tang Shishi's changes.

Tang Shishi didn't dare to bet that if Zhao Chengjun had an accident in this accident, Zhao Zixun would just be an ordinary prince of the vassal. Without Zhao Chengjun to support him, Zhao Zixun would be cut off in a few years. At that time, it will be a problem whether Tang Shishi can save his life, let alone being the queen and the queen mother. Tang Shishi was reluctant to die, but Zhao Chengjun couldn't.

Tang Shishi bravely held Zhao Chengjun's hand and stopped him from drawing his sword. Zhao Chengjun didn't seem to expect Tang Shishi to be so bold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Tang Shishi indifferently.

Tang Shishi drew to Zhao Chengjun's side and said in an air voice: "My lord, attacking is the bottom, and outsmarting is the top. Now that the enemy and I are unknown, it is not appropriate to expose it too early."

Zhao Chengjun's eyes darkened and he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Tang Shishi boldly looked directly into Zhao Chengjun's eyes and said, "I have a plan."

The two men in black were carefully checking the cave when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front. They immediately became vigilant and quietly moved forward.

They hid behind a rock and saw a woman stumbled towards him. She described being embarrassed and kept asking around: "Is there anyone? Come and save people."

The two men in black looked at each other calmly, one of them tore off his mask, stood up from behind the stone, and said, "Miss Tang, you are the secret guard of the palace, and have been ordered to protect the prince. Why are you here?"

Tang Shishi saw them, and his eyes burst out with obvious joy: "You are from the palace? Great, come with me, the prince was seriously injured and in a coma."

Tang Shishi said and ran back, Da Lala exposed his back to the two men in black, completely unprepared. Tang Shishi took two steps, but he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He turned back in dissatisfaction and scolded: "What are you doing, come here soon."

When she said these words, her tone was arrogant as it should be, and at first glance she looked like a pampered female family member of the house, who was used to supporting others. The man in black and his companion looked at each other, and the two followed together, saying, "We're coming."

Tang Shishi led the way in front of him, staggering and staggering to a fork in the road. The man in black frowned and asked, "Isn't King Jing injured? Where is he?"

Tang Shishi said: "Your Highness is injured, of course you have to choose a safe place to rest. Oops..."

Tang Shishi said that he suddenly fell down, as if he had slapped his foot. Her voice was sharp and abrupt, echoing in the cave, obscuring other voices. The two dark arrows were hidden in the echoes and shot towards the back of the man in black.

The arrows were smeared with poison, and one of them was killed on the spot, while the other escaped in time and missed the shot. This person noticed Zhongfu and immediately came to arrest Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi's fingers were hidden in his sleeves, and he suddenly tapped his sleeve arrows. Such a close distance was unavoidable. The man in black was hit by an arrow in his arm, and his eyes widened in surprise. He had no idea that a woman who was weak like a sheep in his mind would actually plot against him.

The man in black was stunned, and a knife light flashed behind his back. Zhao Chengjun got rid of the man in black and asked, "How are you?"

Tang Shishi fell to the ground and paused for a while before he recovered: "It's okay."

Zhao Chengjun stabbed the two of them with a knife in their throats, making sure that they couldn't die any longer, so he squatted down and searched for the things on the two of them. After Tang Shishi had calmed down, he did not dare to be alone or approach the dead, and asked nervously, "My lord, do they have anything on them?"

"No." Zhao Chengjun stood up and said, "They are here to assassinate, and they won't wear obvious signs on their bodies. But it's okay, let's go."

Zhao Chengjun knew who these people were. He checked their clothes, just to confirm it.

The two of them continued to walk forward. This cave was the turtle caught in the urn, and they must not stay in it any longer. Tang Shishi kept his heart high all the way, for fear that there would be another assassin, but fortunately the rest of the way went smoothly, the air gradually flowed, and they finally came out.

Tang Shishi was worried that there would be guards at the door, but fortunately there was no one. Tang Shishi was surprised for a moment, and soon understood.

Those two people were the ones guarding the entrance of the cave just now, but luckily they were killed by Zhao Chengjun ahead of time. Otherwise, there is no cover at this moment, and Zhao Chengjun will be in danger with one enemy against two.

It was already raining outside, and the raindrops fell through the leaves and fell to the ground with a unique moisture. Tang Shishi stepped on the fallen leaves, and when he looked up, the trees were shadowing, and the fallen leaves under his feet were three inches long, so he couldn't tell where he was.

The rain fell down with Tang Shishi's hair, Tang Shishi hurriedly wiped the water off his chin, and asked blankly, "Where is this?"

Zhao Chengjun didn't know either. Pressing the wound with one hand, his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, and he said, "Go into the woods."

"Okay." Tang Shishi took two steps and found that Zhao Chengjun didn't keep up, so he hurried back to help him. When Tang Shishi's hand touched Zhao Chengjun, he was shocked.

Zhao Chengjun's fingers were cold, and there were bloodstains all over his body. Tang Shishi was frightened and hurriedly asked: "My lord, how are you? Why is the wound still bleeding?"

Zhao Chengjun quietly pushed Tang Shishi's hand away, his voice was calm, and said, "I'm fine, you go first and find someone from the palace."

After such a short time, Tang Shishi's hands were full of sticky blood. Tang Shishi had never seen so much blood before, her fingers were shaking, and she hurriedly asked: "Did the wound collapse? I remember that the imperial doctor said that there is a kind of grass on the grassland that can stop the bleeding, Wang Ye, please persist, I will go right away. Find medicine."

"Why don't you go quickly?" Zhao Chengjun said in a cold voice, "Didn't you hear what this king said, you can't do anything, staying here can only drag this king down."

Zhao Chengjun's voice was cold and harsh, but Tang Shishi was not afraid of him this time. She held down the blood and said, "If you want to walk together, you can't die here. Neither you nor me."

The night rain fell from the leaves, wetting the clothes of the two of them. Tang Shishi's face was stained with dust and blood, and his hair was twisted against his body, which was definitely not good-looking. However, this was the first time that Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi seriously.

He originally thought that with Tang Shishi's greedy personality, he would run away as soon as he found an opportunity. He didn't expect that Tang Shishi would stay by his side persistently, and even use his body as bait to assassinate the two men in black.

Why bother? Her goal is only Zhao Zixun. If he dies, Zhao Zixun can inherit the throne. Isn't it better for Tang Shishi

The two walked deep and shallow in the woods, with stale leaves under their feet and icy rain beside them.

In the silence, Zhao Chengjun suddenly asked, "Why?"

Zhao Chengjun's question was abrupt, almost overshadowed by the sound of rain. Tang Shishi was silent for a while, then said softly, "Because you are King Jing."
