auspicious time has come

There was no need for Ji Nanxian to say anything more, Cheng Ping understood and drove towards the direction where the strange movement came from.

The wheels rolled forward, and as they approached, the sound of fighting with swords and swords gradually entered my ears.

When there was only an alley away from the sound, Cheng Ping stopped the carriage suddenly.

"Aheng...you wait in the car!" Ji Nanxuan confessed to his sister, then hurriedly got out of the carriage, and rushed towards the sound of fighting.

Hengyu didn't care too much, and took Cheng Ping to chase after his brother, and quickly walked around the long alley, and when he saw that the carriage with the carriage separated was undoubtedly the prince's carriage, and the corpse lying in a pool of blood beside the carriage was wearing the inner prison robe ——

Hengyu's eyes froze, and there was no chance at all.

"Cui Huai, go to the nearby area and tell the officials of the yamen that someone is here to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince! Please send someone to come to help! Don't delay even a moment!"

Cui Huai's face was startled when he heard the sound: "But girl..."

"Go!"

"Yes!" Cuihuai didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and ran away with her skirt up.

Seeing the blood-stained figure in Chu Jun's mourning attire retreating into a dead end under the protection of several wounded guards, Ji Nanxian exclaimed in shock, "Your Highness!"

In the next moment, several black-clothed assassins who were chasing after him kicked over several half-person-high wooden barrels at the entrance of the alley one after another.

Looking at the things that flowed out of the barrel, Ji Nanxian's complexion changed drastically - kerosene? !

An assassin threw a lighted torch into the alley, and there was a "boom--", and the alley suddenly burst into flames!

"Your Highness!"

Ji Nanxian's eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to rush into the alley to save people.

Emperor Daxing has just passed away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not have any accidents!
An assassin's eyes turned cold when he saw this, and he raised his knife and slashed at Ji Nanxian.

Cheng Pingfei stepped forward, kicked the assassin's heart, and stepped back a few steps to protect Ji Nanxian.

Several assassins immediately surrounded him.

Cheng Ping had just turned back from the palace, he didn't have a sword on his body, and soon it was difficult to resist with his bare hands.

Heng Yu bent over and picked up a blood-stained long sword in the hand of a guard, held it in both hands, and without hesitation stabbed hard at the back of a man in black who was fighting with Cheng Ping!

The man in black froze, turned around stiffly, and stared at Heng Yu.

Heng Yu gritted her teeth, and suddenly pulled out her sword, scarlet blood splashed in front of her eyes.

Cheng Ping, who was already injured, took the opportunity to snatch the long knife from the man in black and stuff it into Ji Nanxian's hand: "Lang Jun, protect yourself!"

Ji Nanxian held the long knife and looked at the figures struggling in the burning flames in the alley. His eyes were red, and his heart was filled with grief and anger. He swung his sword and stabbed at the man in black.

"Don't stay alive!"

The leading man in black issued a death order.

Cheng Ping was seriously injured and fell to the ground. When Heng Yu resisted the attack of a man in black, the long sword in his hand was shot down. Immediately, he had to fly forward and hugged the man in black who was walking towards Cheng Ping with a knife.

At this moment, the image of A Weng covered in blood in the deep mountains outside Youzhou city nine years ago flashed across her eyes, tightly hugging the "bandit" and telling her to run away.

And in that instant, she saw the dark blue pattern on the inside of the left wrist of the man in black holding the knife in front of him.

Hengyu's eyes were extremely cold.

It was them again!
It's them again!

From the time she pounced forward to discovering the tattoo pattern, everything happened in the blink of an eye——

Heng Yu suddenly raised the dagger that was hidden in his sleeve when he got off the carriage, raised his hand and stabbed the man in black fiercely at the neck.

Almost at the same moment, the man in black also reacted, raised his elbow to attack Heng Yu behind him, and threw her flying heavily.

"thump!"

Heng Yu fell heavily to the ground.

Ji Nanxian's eyes were shocked: "Ah Heng!"

Seeing this, Cheng Ping gritted his teeth and wanted to sit up.

The man in black pulled out the dagger that hadn't been pierced too deep into his neck, his eyes changed suddenly when he saw the black blood on it, he cursed angrily, and raised his knife to slash at Hengyu.

"call out--"

A long arrow flew over and pierced the man in black's chest.

Heng Yu, who fell on the ground, supported his body and turned his head to look behind him, only to see a person running one by one.

Soon, there was the sound of horseshoes approaching behind him.

The leading man in black saw that the situation was not good: "Let's go!"

"Keep alive!" Xiao Mu got off his horse, ordered his subordinates behind him, and strode towards Hengyu.

Looking at each other, he saw the girl who was barely sitting up with support, the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, her red eyes were full of determination, and she shook her head at him almost imperceptibly.

Although the answer is now, they still have a lot to do——

This game has even just begun.

In such a situation, if they split up and act independently, or they can confuse the other party's line of sight, there is a better chance of winning.

Facing those unusually calm eyes, Xiao Mu stopped in an instant.

Heng Yu stood up tremblingly, and looked towards the blind alley where the flames were soaring into the sky and the heat was scorching.

The bloody smell, and the unspeakable burnt smell, made people want to vomit.

The fire also made Xiao Mu's eyes red, and he slowly clenched the saber in his hand.

The reason why he was able to arrive here so quickly was that, like Heng Yu, once he learned that the prince had gone out of the palace to go to the eldest princess's mansion, he immediately realized the possibility - if that person wanted to be in the highest position, now the emperor is already Died from poison... Then, who will the opponent's next target be?

The answer is now in front of my eyes...

"Firefighting." Looking at the flames, Xiao Mu ordered in a steady voice: "Keep alive—"

"Yes!"

Soon, the guards who were alarmed by the fire rushed over.

Heng Yu knew that it wasn't because they were slow and lazy in their reactions, but because those people had calculated the time when the guards in the city would be patrolling, and picked this time to strike.

"They" know exactly when His Highness the Crown Prince will leave the Princess' Mansion, and when he will pass by here...

Hengyu looked at the wooden barrels containing kerosene at the entrance of the alley——

Every step has been planned, and all of them are in the plan, exactly.

And there will be no second person who can precisely control all of this.

Everyone put out the fire, and there was thick smoke everywhere, which made people almost unable to open their eyes.

People from the government office also arrived soon. After hearing that the crown prince had been assassinated, Shao Yin of Nanya office came here with officials. He saw the mess in front of him, and then looked at the dead alley where the fire was gradually extinguished and the walls were burned black. The chill hit the top of the head——

"Xiao Jieshi... dare to ask where His Royal Highness is?!" He looked at Xiao Mu and asked in a tense tone.

But he saw that the young man didn't answer him, just stood there, looking at the alley motionlessly.

Nanya Shaoyin followed his line of sight, and his body froze suddenly.

The few corpses burned beyond recognition in that alley, could it be...

"General, there are three survivors!"

Wang Jingyong led his men back and was also wounded.

Heng Yu looked at the three men in black who were escorted behind him.

In order to prevent suicide by biting poison, the mouths of the three people were stuffed with face scarves torn from their faces.

Because of this, they all showed their original appearance.

Heng Yu's eyes fixed on the face of one of them - this person, she had seen before.
