The sun was scorching hot, Ouyang Shaochen, Murong Xue and others walked through small paths, crossed avenues, and came to a small river. The small river ran from east to west, with a width of thirty to forty meters, so long that it could not see the edge.
There is a light gray marble stone bridge on the river, with lifelike little lions carved on the bridge railing.
The water under the stone bridge is green and clear, the breeze blows, the water surface is sparkling and golden.
Murong Xue's eyelids twitched when she saw the peaceful and beautiful picture, and a bad premonition arose in her heart: "Everyone, be careful."
When the guards of King Han's Mansion heard the words, they immediately gathered around Tuoba Han, protected him in the middle, and looked around vigilantly.
Xun Feng and Wuhen gathered around Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue, looking around warily.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Ouyang Shaochen said in a low voice, stretched his arms around Murong Xue's waist, and half hugged her in his arms.
The faint fragrance of black bamboo lingered all over her body, Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, stared at him and said: "I can protect myself."
"It's safer this way." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, took Murongxue to the stone bridge, walked slowly forward step by step, followed closely by Xun Feng and Wuhen.
Tuoba Han stared intently, and led the palace guards to follow quickly.
Everyone just strode forward, no one spoke, only the sound of hurried footsteps was heard on the long stone bridge.
Unknowingly, Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue walked to the middle of the stone bridge, and a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the bridge, pushing a wooden cart, and rushed towards them fiercely.
There was a big sack on the cart, I don’t know what was in it, the whole sack was bulging, the sack was still on fire, burning blazingly, thick smoke was billowing, there was a faint almost inaudible sound coming from the sack sounded next.
Murong Xue fixed her gaze, and saw a black thread-like object faintly visible in the recessed gap under the sack, which was burning like a 'chi chi chi chi', shooting out dazzling sparks...
That was... the fuse!
"Gunpowder is put on the cart, step back quickly!" Murong Xue reminded in a startled voice, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a middle-aged man also coming from the bridge here, pushing a burning car. The gunpowder cart rushed over...
Two middle-aged men, pushing two gunpowder carts, rushed towards them standing in the middle of the stone bridge, trying to blow them to death on the stone bridge!
Murong Xue's eyes were cold: "Jump into the river." A lot of gunpowder was put on the wooden cart, and it would explode if touched lightly. They couldn't attack the gunpowder cart, they could only jump into the river, try to stay away from the gunpowder cart to reduce injuries...
Murong Xue grabbed Ouyang Shaochen and was about to jump off the stone bridge, but Ouyang Shaochen held her back: "It's just two gunpowder carts, don't be so afraid."
With a light wave of the palm, two sharp winds flew out from Ouyang Shaochen's fingertips, and hit the two middle-aged men pushing the gunpowder cart hard, knocking the two middle-aged men and the gunpowder cart they were holding tightly together. It flew out and fell straight into the river.
"Bang!" The gunpowder cart exploded the moment it fell into the water, and the clear river water splashed several feet high. The entire stone bridge was like rain, and the water drops fell...
In the water curtain all over the sky, it can be vaguely seen that Ouyang Shaochen hugged Murongxue in his arms, covering her from the splashing river water, while Tuoba Han, Xun Feng, Wuhen and others subconsciously avoided to a relatively safe place. Under the stone railing, raise your hand to block the river...
After the weather calmed down, the stone bridge was covered with water, and there was a faint vapor in the light gray marble, as if there was a flood.
Tuoba Han, Xun Feng, Wuhen and the others were all soaked in their clothes and stuck to their bodies tightly, making them very uncomfortable. They stood up slowly, grabbed the corners of their clothes, and slowly baked with internal force, turning pale His complexion was slightly ugly, and he coughed a few times inadvertently, coughing up traces of blood.
Murong Xue's eyes froze. Although the two gunpowder carts exploded on the water, they were not a few meters away from them, and they were all injured by the gunpowder shock.
"How are you?" Murong Xue hurriedly got out of Ouyang Shaochen's arms, and looked at him carefully.
Ouyang Shaochen smiled lightly: "I'm fine!"
"Is it really okay?" Murong Xue looked at him for a moment, obviously not believing his words: Ouyang Shaochen was standing beside Tuobahan, Xun Feng, and Wuhen. Xun Feng and Wuhen were all injured by the gunpowder , Ouyang Shaochen will be okay
"Of course it's okay!" Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, sizing up Murong Xue without a trace, confirming that her dress was clean and fresh, and that she hadn't been drenched by water or shaken by the explosion of gunpowder. The corners of his mouth curled up. With a shallow arc and a flick of his fingers, a layer of white mist rose around him.
After the fog cleared, Ouyang Shaochen's robes were clean and refreshing, as if he hadn't been drenched by river water, and his complexion was also normal, not as pale and ugly as after the injury.
Murong Xue Gaoxuan's heart was slightly relieved, Ouyang Shaochen dried the clothes that others took less than a quarter of an hour to dry in an instant, so it could be seen that he was not injured at all.
Looking up at the river, I saw a piece of scorched wood, a piece of broken sack, and a section of broken limbs that were scorched by the blast floating up, floating on the water, floating, floating, unable to tell. eye-catching.
Murong Xue slightly raised her eyebrows: "Is this someone sent by the Turkic King?"
Tuoba Han glanced at the stumps in the river, and nodded slightly: "They should be the secret guards of the Turkic palace!"
The secret guards of the Turkic palace only obey the orders of the Turkic king and will not be used easily. Now, the Turkic king has sent them out. It can be seen that the Turkic king hates him to death and can't wait to let his soul return to the underworld...
Murong Xue's eyes were cold: "They came very quickly." After leaving the grove, they rushed all the way without resting. Unexpectedly, the hidden guards of the Turkic palace caught up...
The secret guards of the Turkic royal palace were ruthless, and the methods of murdering them were ruthless and ruthless. If they were not cautious enough and quick enough to attack, they would have been killed or seriously injured by the bombing...
Wait, the hidden guards of the Turkic palace are under the orders of the Turkic king, and the Fusang ninjas were also invited by the Turkic king. The hidden guards of the palace have come to Shiqiao, and the Fusang ninjas must have arrived here too...
Suddenly looking sideways at the surface of the water, I saw a crossbow arrow similar in color to Qingshui protruding out of the water at some point, with a black feather arrow on the string, and shot at Ouyang Shaochen mercilessly...
"Be careful!" Murong Xue's eyes froze, she drew her sword and slashed at the feathered arrow, only to hear a sound of 'Dang', the feathered arrow was chopped into two pieces and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, splashes of water appeared in the clear river, and a Fusang ninja emerged from the river, holding a delicate crossbow in his hand, and shot fiercely at Ouyang Shaochen, Murong Xue and others...
