One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 35
When Yuan Zhao asked, the old man laughed silently a few times, and said slowly:
"Just now I heard them calling you princess outside..."

In Wu Chu, there were too many people trying to assassinate her, upon hearing this, the guards stepped forward vigilantly, trying to block her behind.

The old man ignored it and said to himself:

"How could such noble daughters as the princess appear on the border of this remote mountainous area in Nanzhou? After thinking about it, the old man heard that Dingyuan Hou and his son were stationed on the border of Nanzhou. His young daughter is also the princess, and she is also in Nanzhou..."

Following his words, the atmosphere in the room became heavy and tense. The old man glanced at them and said:
"You don't need to panic. When I was young, I had a relationship with Beidi once, and I made a solemn oath that my family will not be an enemy of Beiyueshi in this life..."

Hearing this allusion, some of the guards breathed a sigh of relief, while others still looked solemn and waited for the next article.

Sure enough, the old man said again:

"Here today, except for Bei Yuezhi, anyone who has seen the old man will die, so you should kill yourself."

He said that if he was not an enemy of Bei Yuezhi, he would naturally not be able to kill Bei Yuezhi's people.

"Absurd," Yuan Zhao cried out in pain, and said weakly, "If you are not an enemy of our clan, why do you want my people to commit suicide? Old man... I can provide you with a route to leave Wuchu safely. I just ask you to let me go." people who passed me."

The other party is obviously good at medicine, and if she can drug her guards, she can also poison her.He didn't poison, presumably it has something to do with the oath he just said.

"Oh?" The old man couldn't help laughing when he heard her voice, "You are so clever..."

He actually guessed that he was a fugitive, worthy of being the descendant of Beidi.It's a pity that the Northern Emperor Yingming I, when he was old, had a foolish disease and changed his youngest son to be the emperor.

Not only lost the country, but also harmed the entire Beiyue clan.

"Princess..." The guard standing in front of her stopped her, "No!"

That was her secret escape route, and one more person would know that it would be more dangerous.

"With you here, I have a chance to go back alive; without you, in my current situation..." Hiss, Yuan Zhao gasped for air from the pain of the arrow wound, and forced himself to say, "How to escape?"

"Old man, your people are already approaching, there is an ambush in the forest, and it will take a cup of tea for them to get here." The old man said slowly, "Give you one last chance, kill yourself, I will not only let her go, but also save her." She dies."

Although the arrow missed the heart, it took so long, and with the child's physique, even if he was rescued, it would be very dangerous.

"You die, she lives, or neither!" the old man insisted.

"Wait a minute," Yuan Zhao spoke before the guards could react, "how about this, my people and I exit this room..."

In order to save her, the family members are very likely to split into two groups.Breaking in directly from the forest all the way, killing the enemy all the way through the secret path to catch the enemy by surprise.Therefore, she only needs to hold the old man for a while, and everyone can be rescued.

"Little girl, don't try to delay the time." The old man saw her intention at a glance, and his eyes stared at the guards gradually became cold, "I have taken half of the medicine on your body, if you don't do it, I will send her on the road first."

Now that the matter has come to an end, the male guard standing in front of Yuan Zhao knew that his life was hopeless, so he said in a deep voice:
"I hope that the old man will keep his word, and I will follow my orders."

After saying that, he raised his sword and fell down on his neck.

Soon, the same movement sounded from around him one after another.People around him fell down one by one, including He Chun and Jin Niang who were full of joy in the mansion before and wanted to go to the capital to open their eyes.

The life that was still alive yesterday, now fell silently before her eyes.

In an instant, Yuan Zhao's tears fell like beads, and his heart was cut like a knife.

The coach is incompetent, and the army is exhausted, is she the one talking about?

With a short stature, she clenched her saber tightly and stubbornly staggered to her feet.The arrow wound on my body no longer hurts, but my heart feels like a blunt knife is cutting, and the sharp pain like suffocation hits me wave after wave.

She stared at the old man, just about to speak, suddenly glanced back, and said coldly:
"Why don't you die?"

Behind her was a guard who was half kneeling, trembling all over, seemingly dumbfounded.Hearing her question, he was about to speak in a murmur, when he got up suddenly and ran out of the house desperately.

It turned out that he was waiting for his numb limbs to calm down, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Yuan Zhao, who was still on the verge of death just now, threw himself vigorously, and the sharp sword in his hand was precisely inserted into the opponent's vest.

She recognized this person, it was the guard who reminded everyone to pay attention to the white fox in the forest.He was killed because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and wanted to abandon his master and run away.Abandoning the master is tantamount to betrayal, such a person would not dare to stay in the Hou's mansion if he escaped.

In order to save his life, he is very likely to surrender to the enemy.

The guard is different from the maid, he is trained by Uncle Ji and others, and knows more about some things than Yuan Zhao.Although this is just speculation, she knows that once this person surrenders to the enemy, there will be endless troubles.

The guard's numb limbs had just recovered, but his movements were still sluggish, and Yuan Zhao stabbed him straight.

He stared wide-eyed, desperately looking at his master who was obviously hit by an arrow, but still had the strength to turn him over; she was obviously a yellow-haired girl, her eyes like single eyelids were still full of tears, but she had no childlike innocence, and said indifferently:
"You are a traitor!"

No, he is not, the person he is loyal to is not her or Dingyuan Houfu from beginning to end.Before he could defend himself, a flash of sword light flashed in front of his eyes, and he saw a bright red splash in his throat...

"As expected of the Queen of the Northern Emperor..."

Execution of the bodyguard who abandoned the master with his own hands, a sentimental old voice came from behind Yuan Zhao.She stuck the point of her sword into the ground, tried her best not to fall, turned around slowly, and said coldly:
"Old man, you'd better keep your word, otherwise, if the princess doesn't die for a day, your descendants will end up with them!"

Why descendants?Looking at the age of this dead old man, I don't know if he can live until she grows up.

"Hahaha……"

The old man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the laughter penetrated the dilapidated roof, crossed the burning grass, and spread far away...

When Ji Wu led people out of the secret passage, he found that the fire outside had already burned around the house.Braving the threatening heat wave, he rushed to the main hall of the house with a group of guards, and suddenly found that the little master's guards were all dead.

Fortunately, the little princess is still alive, lying under the cover of the bodies of He Chun and Jinniang.

The sound of fighting was still heard in the forest outside, those assassins were dealt with by themselves, Ji Wu roughly checked the wounds on the little master's body, luckily nothing serious happened.Leaving a few confidantes to clean up the scene, he carefully picked her up and left through the secret passage.

After several twists and turns, he finally returned to the General's Mansion.

At this time, Dingyuan Hou and his son were still on their way back.After receiving the urgent letter sent by Ji Wu, the father and father were furious, and Bei Yueli led the soldiers to the scene to investigate and hunt them down.

They are personal soldiers, not soldiers in the battalion.

Today, the generals to replace the father and son are in place, and the handover of military power is completed. The only thing the father and son can use is their own soldiers.The son turned to chase the assassin, and Marquis Dingyuan went to the government to report the case and informed the government of his daughter's assassination.

Although aggrieved, it is a formal procedure.

Knowing that the little princess was assassinated in the suburbs, the local officials who were about to go to the banquet were happy to send a favor, and ordered to close the city gates and arrest all suspicious persons in the city.

In an instant, people in the city were panicked and everyone was in danger.
