Xiao Beiyuan didn't pay attention to painting the boat at all, all his attention was on Ming Jiuge. If it weren't for her words, he hadn't noticed anyone on the boat.
There are about a dozen painted boats on the river, floating on it, adding the smell of Qinhuai's smoke and dust. Xiao Beiyuan frowned and took Ming Jiuge's hand, "Let's go."
Being dragged out of the pavilion, Ming Jiuge glanced back and smiled: "You are very disappointed when you leave."
"Go home!"
"Hey, wait, it's decided, if you say you regret it, then you regret it."
Xiao Beiyuan stopped and looked around. The streets under the night were more prosperous than in the day, the crowds were bustling, and the cries were endless. Wuming waved his hand, whispered a few words, Wuming made a gesture, and the guards behind him instantly dispersed and walked into the crowd.
"Xiao Beiyuan, forget it in the pavilion, don't even think about driving away the people on the street."
"Don't worry." Holding the soft little hand, the mood also improved.
The guards did not drive away, but scattered among the crowd, intentionally or unconsciously separating Xiao Beiyuan's surroundings from the crowd, forming a vacuum.
Some people saw the difference between these people, and Xiao Beiyuan and Ming Jiuge were so conspicuous, and those young men and women who approached intentionally were all blocked by the guards.
While Xiao Beiyuan gently talked about the past of Cangcheng with Ming Jiuge, he watched the surrounding environment on the other side, his eyes scanned the crowd, and the state of the people around was clear at a glance.
On the high platform in front of him, he is recruiting relatives. Any man who can answer questions can come on stage to fight. As for whom the young lady likes, it depends on luck.
Ming Jiuge is full of enthusiasm. This kind of plot has only been heard before, but I have never seen it in person. She squeezed into the crowd, bends behind her and yelled twice, it didn't work at all.
When Xiao Beiyuan talked to his acquaintances, Ming Jiuge squeezed into the front row.
The guards were given orders to ensure the completeness of the princess, and squeezed in. More than a dozen people were divided into two layers of defense, inside and outside, to protect Ming Jiu Ge. With the current arrangement, it can be described as safe and sound.
When encountering Xiao Beiyuan on the streets of Qixi Festival, Naze was also an accident. He originally went to the hospital to hire a doctor for his mother. The street was crowded with people and the carriage was difficult to walk, so he got out of the car and walked instead.
Xiao Beiyuan greeted Naze with a smile, and Naze was surprised that the unsmiling king Beiyuan accompanied him.
The princess was walking in the market, and she smiled when she saw him. He didn't know what this smile meant, but he felt unspeakable weird. King Beiyuan would laugh, unheard of.
Realizing that it was wrong, Xiao Beiyuan narrowed his smile, and faintly exchanged greetings with Naze, separating them from each other. Ming Jiu Ge is full of interest in the crowd. He smiled again.
The guards were all in the crowd, and the skulls were secretly protecting, he was relieved.
Originally, these young aristocrats had their own places to go. But Ming Jiuge didn't want to go. The reason was simple. The men there had "lust" in their eyes, and the women coveted Xiao Beiyuan's beauty. She didn't like it.
Now that it was left as it was, Xiao Beiyuan simply let her have a good time. In his opinion, these customs hinder rigor and disagree. If it weren't for Ming Jiuge, he would not even bother to walk among these gorgeous crowds and be watched by many strangers.
Standing among the crowd, he suddenly smelled an unusual breath. Xiao Beiyuan turned his head, but saw the prince lightly dressed and simple, walking towards him. At a glance, he recognized that the person dressed up by the young man next to him was actually Gu Yalan next to the empress dowager.
According to the customs, the prince took Gu Yalan around, regardless of his identity and safety, obviously not worried about being known by the emperor or the queen dowager. Could it be...
After thinking, the prince and his party came closer. Fortunately, everyone was low-key and did not attract the attention of people around.
Gu Yalan saw the crown prince and Xiao Beiyuan standing at the same place. He was not as powerful as Xiao Beiyuan and was not angry and mighty, and his appearance was even more different. If it was not because of the difference in identity, it was the crowds of people beside him.
Where there is Xiao Beiyuan, Ming Jiu Ge must be there. Gu Yalan looked around and found that a figure in the crowd was very impressive of her. Between the shaking of the figure, she saw clearly that it was Ming Jiuge, who was waving her hand and yelling at the pretty figure on the high platform. That excited, unscrupulous back made her deeply jealous.
"His Royal Highness is in good spirits."
"The prince is too."
A gust of wind passed, and the corner of a back in the crowd was lifted, and the dazzling blade flashed, and Xiao Beiyuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he immediately moved towards the target.
"Protect the prince and leave quickly." Wuming was worried, glanced at Xiao Beiyuan's direction and protected the prince away.
No voice
When he fell, Xiao Beiyuan had already reached behind his back and slashed his palm towards the neck of the predecessor. The person in front noticed that there was a difference behind him, and he pulled out a scimitar from his waist while turning sideways. The crowd burst instantly and fled in all directions.
Two more people rushed towards Xiao Beiyuan from the dark. "Protect the prince!" Ming Jiuge was the first to pounce, releasing the green vine, and entangled one person in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding guards reacted quickly, and two black-clothed assassins were surrounded by the breathing room.
Xiao Beiyuan's sword pointed directly at the assassin, and Ming Jiuge was already standing next to Xiao Beiyuan.
"Are you okay?" The two asked each other at the same time, and smiled at each other.
A sharp whistling sound, hidden in the noisy surrounding environment, broke through the air. Then there was another sound, several times in succession, the sound was fatal.
The arrows are like fine raindrops, one after another. The guards swung their swords and provoked, blocking the left and the right, making them a little embarrassed for a while. Xiao Beiyuan guarded Ming Jiuge in front of him, and from time to time he pulled away Jian Ling with the long sword in his hand.
Although there are many people in Xiao Beiyuan's belt, this arrow rain is too weird and weird, and the prince is just right. If the prince is injured, he will not be able to explain.
The archer did not show up, and the person disappeared after all the arrows were shot.
"Find me the trace of this group of people."
When Xiao Beiyuan spoke, the guards were a little afraid. If the princess was hurt a little bit, they wouldn't want to be safe. Someone commanded, the guards began to search in an orderly manner, while Skeleton took two guards by his side, Xiao Beiyuan, the other guards did not join the search team and were still secretly guarding.
The nameless report that the prince is safe and sound, has returned to the palace. Xiao Beiyuan felt relieved. But when I think of the brief rain of arrows just now, I still have lingering fears. Thanks to his previous arrangement, the assassin did not succeed.
People are definitely indispensable to create the effect of arrow rain, and naturally they will leave clues. Sure enough, it was not long, and the guards came to report that there were signs of trampling on both roofs. Looking at the trace analysis, there are no less than 15 personnel.
Xiao Beiyuan's eyes cast into the darkness. The matter is not tortured and simple. If the prince arrives earlier, he might stand here too. It would be hard to think about it thoroughly, and he and Ming Jiuge must have a time when they are overwhelmed, and then...the consequences will be disastrous.
