Chapter 78 Assassination
The carriage stopped suddenly, accompanied by a horse honking.

Immediately afterwards, there was the angry voice of the driving guard——

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Hit someone?Cheng Muqing frowned inadvertently, she opened the curtain, and saw a tall young man with an umbrella slowly getting up from the ground.

"Lu Xiu?" She was a little surprised.

"Princess Qi?" Lu Xiu was holding an umbrella, he was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed to her from a distance, "Sorry, I didn't mean to fall in front of the carriage of Prince Qi's residence."

"The road is slippery in rainy days, I understand." Cheng Muqing smiled, "Why are you alone?"

"There is something wrong with the account books of Luji Commercial Bank, and the carriage I was riding in was also broken down on the road. I was impatient, so I came here by myself." Lu Xiu explained.

Cheng Muqing let out an "oh".

The needle-like drizzle hit her face along the wind, itching and smelling of damp.Cheng Muqing wiped it with a handkerchief, and said to Lu Xiu, "Come on, I'll give you a ride."

"No need." Lu Xiu curled his lips into a chuckle, "The business is not far away, so I'll go by myself."

"It's also a partner, come up." Cheng Muqing calculated that if he still refused this time, he would leave directly.

No, the other party just hesitated this time, and readily agreed.

The carriage in Prince Qi's Mansion is very big, and there are more than enough room for five people in the carriage.

But for Lu Xiu's arrival, Lin Heng was very unhappy.

Intuition told him, this guy is not a good person!
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Xiu got into the car, he started chatting with Cheng Muqing.The two of them talked about Lin Heng's paintings most of the time.

After Lin Heng started experimenting with landscapes, Lu Xiu's boat painting became more and more effective.

"My lord is now the signature painter of our boat." Lu Xiu admired all over his face, "I believe that with his strength, he will soon become a master of Danqing."

Although he was praising himself, Lin Heng was still very unhappy.

He hates him.

"My lord is so embarrassed." Seeing that Lin Heng ignored him, Cheng Muqing began to talk to him proactively.

"Don't be embarrassed, the prince is really excellent." Lu Xiu nodded slightly to Lin Heng, with a very gentle expression on his face.

Lin Heng closed his eyes and did not talk to him.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

The rain outside the car gradually became heavier, crackling, and seemed to be mixed with hail.

"Have the prince and concubine had dinner yet? If you don't wait, what can we eat at Yaoxiangxuan?" Lu Xiu offered to propose, "When you two arrive there, I will treat you well."

"Okay!" Cheng Muqing readily agreed, holding his chin and thinking about what to eat.

She was thinking about it when her ears moved suddenly.

"Get down!" Cheng Muqing wrapped his long arms, subconsciously brought Lin Heng into his arms, and pressed himself down.

"Wh-oh-"

A long arrow shot into the car compartment and stuck on the wall of the car, right next to Lu Xiu's ear.

Lu Xiu's face was pale, and he slowly moved his face aside, "It's really... fate..."

"Hmm..." Cheng Muqing raised his eyes and replied dryly.

Is it so rough today?Don't even let me eat?Cheng Muqing complained secretly in his heart, and quickly shouted loudly, "Quick! Go back to the Qi Palace! Guard Cui, protect the prince!"

If the calculation is correct, it should be almost at the Prince Qi's Mansion.She turned to look at Lu Xiu, "You, too, go back to the mansion with the prince."

Lu Xiu nodded again and again, "Okay."

He didn't seem to have recovered, his face was still pale.

"Shhhhh-"

The wind rubbed against the arrow, cutting through the air, and there was a piercing sound.

Guard Cui got into the carriage room, "Princess, you and the prince can ride away directly!"

"how many people?"

"At least ten people."

"No!" Cheng Muqing immediately made a decision.

The opponent has a bow and crossbow, if he shoots the horse, the two of them will fall into ambush.

"You protect the prince." Cheng Muqing pulled Cui Huwei into the carriage room, and walked out of the carriage alone.

"Princess! Come in!" Although Jin Xi was frightened, she still did not forget to protect her.

"It's okay." Cheng Muqing squatted down, pulled her into the carriage, and pushed her into the carriage, "Be careful."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the saber hanging in the carriage room, and cut off several arrows that had been shot.

The rain wet her eyelashes and blurred her vision. She touched her face and looked around——

Those who shoot arrows are a group of people in night suits. They wear masks, and they cannot tell whether they are male or female.They came from all directions, their bodies were light, and they came with swords!

15 people?No... 20 people!

On my side, I only have myself, Cui Huwei, and five attendants who can practice martial arts.Cheng Muqing was thinking in his heart, and kept fighting against the man in black who jumped into the carriage with his sword.

Between swords and swords, Cheng Muqing eliminated two of them, but his men also lost two attendants.

"hiss--"

Several long arrows were shot out in the dark night.

She narrowly escaped, but the horse was not so lucky.

A long arrow pierced the horse's neck. The horse took two steps, and fell down before it could cry out in pain.

The moment the horse fell, the body shook violently.

Cheng Muqing jumped out of the car with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Boom—" the carriage overturned, Cui Huwei's left hand was Lin Heng, and his right hand was Jinxi, and they landed safely.

Seeing that Lin Heng was fine, Cheng Muqing was much relieved.But in a blink of an eye, she saw Lu Xiu lying on the ground not far away, and a man in black was slashing at him fiercely with a long knife.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the world.

The blade is sharp and shines brightly.

Acting almost subconsciously, Cheng Muqing threw the long sword in his hand, tapped his toes on the ground, and with a "swoosh", he jumped several meters.

"Ding--"

The long sword collided with the knife, making the knife buzz.

The man in black holding the long knife felt a numbness in his palm. The long knife left his palm and fell vertically, inserting it into the ground.

"Go!" Cheng Muqing kicked his long legs forward like kicking a football.

Poor Lu Xiu just got up from the ground when he was kicked several meters away by her kick.He was like a wheel, rolling several times on the ground, and finally hit a tree, unconscious.

Cheng Muqing bowed his body, took the opportunity to pick up the long sword on the ground, swung his long arm, and cut the neck of the man in black with the sword.

In an instant, blood gushed out, splashing blood all over her face.

Before she could catch her breath, another man in black came to kill her.

The knife skills of this group of people are extremely sharp, and every blow seems to be desperate.Cheng Muqing didn't like this style of play, one or two was fine, and a bunch of people besieged, it was really difficult.

On the other side, Cui Huwei held a long knife, and the blade rubbed against the air to make an empty sound.He was originally the bodyguard of the Cheng family, and as the bodyguard of the general's family, he naturally had two talents.

Just as this group of people attacked her again, several men in black jumped out from the forest on both sides.

no?and also!Cheng Muqing retreated again and again, feeling chills in his heart.

"Boom-"

The group of men in black held long swords and helped her block the men in black.

Is it an allied army?Before Cheng Muqing had time to think about it, there was another gust of knife wind behind him.

She turned around and resisted the knife.

Dark clouds were covering the world, and the world was pitch black. The sound of swords and swords slashing each other, as well as people's cries of pain, continued to be heard in the air.

On the other side, a man in black suddenly jumped down from the tree and slashed at Lin Heng with a knife.

"My lord!" Ah Feng eagerly opened his arms and dodged to protect Lin Heng.

Just when he closed his eyes, the pain didn't come.

"Let's go!"

A Feng opened his eyes, and what he saw was the girl's thin back.

"Ah Qing!" Lin Heng's heart trembled, and his lips trembled.

"Quick... Hide." Cheng Muqing said in a suppressed voice, her voice was quite labored.

Lin Heng knew that he should be obedient now, so he backed away silently and hid well...

"when--"

Cheng Muqing pulled Ah Feng and jumped away, "Why are you in a daze?"

"I'm sorry..." Ah Feng said hastily.

"You run fast, call for rescue." Cheng Muqing pushed him back, and opened the way by himself, fighting with the man in black, protecting him from retreating a little bit.

A Feng ran for two steps, then stopped suddenly, watching Cheng Muqing's well-repelled movement, his eyes dimmed.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Muqing cast a glance at him.

"No!" Ah Feng grinned, turned around and ran quickly, but disappeared in the darkness after a while.

Under the constant pressure of the men in black, Cheng Muqing waved his arms, instead of going head-to-head, the sword was blown away.

At the same time the sword was blown away, Cheng Muqing's tiger's mouth burst open, blood flowing out.But she reacted very quickly, and quickly swayed to avoid the fatal blow, grabbed the man in black's wrist with one hand, and slammed a hand knife on his neck.

Taking advantage of the slow movement of the man in black, Cheng Muqing snatched his long knife for his own use.

The long knife of the man in black was a bit heavy, but Cheng Muqing felt that it was in his hand unexpectedly.

Here, she was playing heartily, just listening to——

"careful!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, Cheng Muqing felt his body lighten and was pushed to the ground.

And beside her was a long arrow.

There are still people lurking in the dark... A chill suddenly rose in Cheng Muqing's heart.

But just at this moment of stupefaction, someone swung a knife and slashed at him.

who are they?Why put them to death?Cheng Muqing raised his saber to resist the blow.

Now she is half lying on the ground, receiving moves very passively.

Lin Heng managed to get up, and saw Cheng Muqing struggling to contend with the man in black in front of her, and there was a man in black behind her trying to make up for it.

Hardly thinking about it, Lin Heng charged straight at the man in black who was confronting Cheng Muqing, knocking him staggering.

The man in black was annoyed, and he raised his knife to finish him off, but this move gave Cheng Muqing a chance.She turned her palms up and drove straight in with a big knife in her hand, ruthlessly piercing the man in black's jaw.

Blood dripped on her face and splashed into a blood flower.

Lin Heng took a deep breath, and for a moment of sluggishness, a whistling wind came from his ear.

It was the man in black who originally planned to sneak attack!

"Be careful!" Cheng Muqing turned around quickly, pulled him past him, and brought him behind her.At the same time, she moved forward, slashing forward with the long knife in her hand.

Following her movement, the blade in front also turned and slashed across her chest.

"Ah Qing!" Lin Heng hugged her behind her.

"It's okay." The clothes on the girl's chest were torn, and a big gash was cut horizontally by the knife. Blood seeped in little by little, soaking the clothes.

She didn't fall backwards, but stood stubbornly holding a long sword.

The rain hit the bulging veins on her hands and wet her clothes.

She stood in front of him like this, with the corners of her clothes flying and her hair messy.

The man in black was a little surprised, but quickly turned around to meet her and continued to kill her.

Because of the injury, Cheng Muqing's movements were a little slow, but fortunately, the other party was also stabbed by her.

Lin Heng saw the blood seeping from her body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and could feel the pain in his chest.He slowly put his hands on his chest, feeling a warmth.

It should be his own blood leaking out.

He clenched his slender fingers slightly, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

If only he could protect her behind him like the knight in the book...

Before, he just wanted to stick to her all the time.

But now, he wants to protect her all the time.

"Da da da--"

It was the sound of galloping horses.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Muqing saw a white horse.On the white horse, a young man with outstanding posture came with a long sword in his hand.The moonlight shone on his cold white skin, adding a bit of chill.

Behind him, there were five men following.

A few people got off their horses, passed through the battle with their friends, and immediately suppressed the man in black present.

This group of men in black were all dead soldiers, so they gritted their fangs and committed suicide immediately.But fortunately, two of their fangs were knocked out, and they were spared.

The young man on the white horse flicked his long knife and ordered in a cold voice, "Take it away."

Yan Yinian, it's the Golden Eagle Division who came... Cheng Muqing took a long breath and shook his body.

"Princess Qi!" Su Ya also ran to her side, "Are you alright?"

"What do you think?" Cheng Muqing pushed Lin Heng to him, "Take him to the doctor quickly."

At this moment, Lin Heng's chest was already blood red.

"Okay." Su Ya also took Lin Heng onto the horse, "Golden Eagle Division has a doctor, should I take him back to Golden Eagle Division now?"

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded, and put his hands on his chest, "Hurry up and save him!"

"Okay!" Su Ya Yile turned her horse's head and ran away.

After Lin Heng settled down, Cheng Muqing went to a certain tree to help Lu Xiu up.

The other party had already woken up, looked at her, and remained silent for a long time.

Cheng Muqing felt that he was being stimulated, so he asked someone to send him to Luji Firm.

After settling down the crying Jinxi, she turned her gaze to the group of men in black who helped her.

"Princess Qi Wanan." The people in black bowed to her.

"Are you?" Cheng Muqing frowned slightly, "My father's?"

The sword and boxing techniques they used were all written by the Cheng family.

"Yes." The young man in the lead nodded, "We were arranged by Lord Hou to protect you and His Highness King Qi."

"Thank you." Cheng Muqing bowed in vain.

Jinxi who was on the side saw her weak appearance and started to cry again.

"Why are you crying?" Cheng Muqing panted slightly.

"Princess...I've never seen you hurt so badly..."

"There are so many people, it's strange that they weren't injured." Cheng Muqing knocked on her forehead, "Didn't your arm also be injured?"

"No...it's not the same..." Jin Xi twitched.

"Come up." A cold voice came into Cheng Muqing's ears.

She looked up and saw Yan Yinian sitting on the horse, reaching out to herself.

"Go back to the Golden Eagle Division."

"Thank you." Cheng Muqing supported the saddle and stepped onto the horse's back.

Yan Yinian silently withdrew his hand that was parked in the air, turned the horse's head, and led her away without saying where to go.

The horse was not walking fast, Cheng Muqing supported the sword at his waist, and walked silently all the way.

Yan Yinian was a disciple of Master Cheng Hou, and he was also the coldest among his disciples.Cheng Muqing once wanted to get along well with him, but the other party was a rock that couldn't be warmed up.

She is not a character with a warm face and a cold heart. If the other party does not respond to her kindness, she will no longer show affection for him.Therefore, the relationship between the two can only be said to be "average".

 Thanks to Yu Ming for the two recommended tickets~
  Cheng Muqing: Today was really bumpy, I didn't have a meal.

  Lu Xiu: Today is really bumpy. There was an accident in the business, and I fell in the rain. I almost died and was kicked into a pulley.

  Cheng Muqing: ...

  Preview of the next chapter:

  Her face was pale, and her face seemed to be thinner.

  Lin Heng took two quick steps and greeted her, "Why did you come out?"

  "I heard you went to find Cao Da?"

  The two blurted out almost at the same time.

  "Looking for you."

  "Ah."

  The two answered each other's questions at the same time.
