The dark sky was like a magician's staff, hiding the killings perfectly. No one knew that the ghost was approaching. However, in this hunting game, who is the hunter and who is the prey is still unknown...
"Stop!" A bone-chilling voice came from inside the dragon chariot, and the carriage stopped immediately.
Dugu Yingcheng tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked to the front of the carriage. "Your Majesty, did you notice anything?" After saying this, Dugu Yingcheng looked up and looked around carefully. The night was still dark, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and he did not find anything unusual.
But he also knew that Emperor Shitian would not easily call for a stop. "Someone, go to the front to check on the Shadow Guards."
"Yes, Prime Minister." The two armored soldiers took the order and immediately turned around and made as if to move forward, only to hear a "whoosh" sound.
"Be careful!" Dugu Yingcheng's eyes shrank, and he drew out his sword. He shot down the hidden arrow. Under the moonlight, the sword shone coldly, silently releasing murderous aura.
"There are enemies, protect the king!" The two rescued armored soldiers nodded to Dugu Yingcheng to express their gratitude, and then immediately returned to their respective posts.
More than a dozen armored soldiers guarded the dragon chariot on both sides, looking around with serious expressions.
All this happened in just a few tenths of a second. Dugu Yingcheng suddenly shouted loudly, jumped directly onto the dragon chariot, and pulled Di Shitian out of the carriage at the fastest speed.
The moment they landed, the luxurious dragon chariot suddenly caught fire, and everyone was shocked.
If it's 0.1 second at night, then the king...
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly, and before these people could react, a dense rain of sharp arrows came like locusts. All the arrows were pointed in the direction of Emperor Shi Tian, and the ownerless warhorse suddenly let out a wail and fell down.
Dugu Yingcheng pulled Di Shitian and rolled sideways to avoid the huge body of the warhorse. Countless arrows were densely stuck on the body of the warhorse. The arrowheads flashed a faint blue light, and it was obvious that they were all poisoned.
"Protect the king!" the leader of the armored army said sternly. As soon as he finished speaking, a broken sword sank into his chest. Then, sharp arrows flew at him again. He fought back. However, he fell to the ground before he could shoot down a few hidden arrows.
In just a moment, more than half of the armored troops and all the soldiers accompanying them were killed or wounded. This attack was different from the previous ones. As for how it was different.
"Damn it!" Looking at the corpses falling one after another, Di Shitian pushed away Dugu Yingcheng who was protecting him, and then stood up.
With a wave of his hand, he picked up the armored soldier's steel knife and threw it in the direction of the hidden weapon. However, it was not as expected. There were muffled groans of injuries or deaths, and the attack of the hidden weapon was not affected at all. A bad premonition suddenly rose in Emperor Shi Tian's heart.
The ones who attacked them this time were not humans!
On the other hand, Emperor Shi Tian was eager to fight, while at the Imperial Palace, Bai Tian was still trying to persuade Jun Liu Feng to leave.
Although Jun Liufeng has always behaved decently, he cannot be careless about the safety of the little princess. If the news that the little princess left the posthouse is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. First of all, the "old ghost" will not miss this opportunity.
The king's love for the little princess at the debate meeting of nations was known to everyone on the continent. The well-informed 'old ghost' should not be unaware of it.
Therefore, capturing the little princess and then using her to threaten the king is definitely a method that a despicable organization like them can think of. In that case, not only will the little princess be in danger, but the king will also be in a passive position. Moreover, he made a solemn oath to the king to absolutely protect the little princess.
"Master Jun, everything Bai said is true. Your spies will know that the king has left." So, you should get out of here as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. Of course, Bai Tian only said this in his heart. He knew that if he really said it out loud, they would probably fight directly, which was not his original intention.
"Oh?" He sighed with a hint of doubt, as if he believed it, but there was something he couldn't figure out. Bai Tian was not a liar. Since he said that Emperor Shi Tian was not here, then Emperor Shi Tian must not be here.
The question is, who else is here? If someone says there is nothing strange about this imperial palace, he will never believe it. For Emperor Shi Tian's attendant to stay here, there must be something important left here - what could it be
At this moment, a man dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of his sedan chair and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Shi Tian has left with his envoys this afternoon."
This man was a spy sent by Jun Liufeng to monitor Emperor Shi Tian. The reason why Jun Liufeng went out was not only because he received anonymous information, but more importantly, his spy did not report back the news that Emperor Shi Tian had left the palace. Therefore, he would use this to determine the authenticity of the source of the information.
But what he heard now...
As soon as the spy finished speaking, a sharp aura burst out from the sedan chair and landed on the spy.
"Puff!" His blood surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Because the force just now was too strong, his kneeling posture was disrupted. He ignored the pain in his chest and adjusted his kneeling posture to apologize, "I did not do my job well, I deserve to die."
No explanation, no complaints, just a serious plea. This is the rule of Cangshengmen. Only the result is important, not the process. A process without a result is worthless. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. If you complete the task, you will be rewarded. This is the rule of Jun Liufeng, and everyone in Cangshengmen keeps it in mind. Therefore, he gladly accepted this punishment.
"Go to the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanglin!" The slender five fingers played with the jade flute in their hands smoothly, and they narrowed their long and narrow peach blossom eyes and said wickedly.
Upon hearing this, the woman carrying the sedan chair immediately turned around and headed towards Yanglin Thirteen Prefectures. Then, the man in black on the ground also disappeared from the spot.
Looking at the imperial palace that had returned to peace, Bai Tian let out a long sigh. Should I be glad that Jun Liufeng was gone? Oh, he was just driven from the little princess to the king. There was nothing to be glad about. If Jun Liufeng really hurt the king, then he could die to atone for his crime.
Looking in the direction of Yanglin Thirteen States, Bai Tian shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom. But before he took two steps, his neck felt cold, and a jade flute was already placed around his neck.
The Jade Flute, he was very familiar with it, "Jun Liufeng!"
As soon as the words fell, an evil and charming laugh sounded, "Hehehe... That's right, it's me!" The Jade Flute did not move, and Jun Liufeng walked around from behind Bai Tian to the front. His narrow peach blossom eyes raised, and the corners of his mouth hooked a charming arc.
"I told you, the king is not here. Could it be that Master Jun thinks Bai is lying?" Bai Tian frowned as he looked at Jun Liufeng who suddenly returned. (To be continued)
