Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 134 Assassin
"Concubine Shizi, you must not go!"

Xia Lan firmly grasped the carriage, but didn't dare to knock on the carriage, so she could only shout: "His Royal Highness told the servants that you must not go to the battlefield, it will be dangerous. His Royal Highness told the servants!"

Xiao Beiheng ordered Su Mo not to go to the battlefield.When she was not careful, Su Mo sneaked out by herself.Fortunately, she caught up in time.If Su Mo is really allowed to go, what awaits her is unknown.

The carriage rang softly twice, and the driver immediately stopped the carriage.

"Xia Lan, help me."

The door opened, and a green hand stretched out from inside the car.Xia Lan didn't care to wipe the tears on her face, and ran over quickly to help Su Mo get out of the car.

The weather outside the pass was cold, both Su Mo and Xia Lan were wearing exquisite cotton clothes, thick cloaks and thick cotton caps on their heads.

On both sides of the road, the height of withered and yellow weeds can almost reach the waist of a person, shaking in the cold wind.

"Concubine Shizi, the outside of the pass is no safer than the inside of the pass. If you are in danger, the prince will kill your slaves." Xia Lan had a common smile on her face, "Besides, it's so cold outside, why don't we go back to the camp?"

She deliberately made the situation serious in order to let Su Mo return to the camp as soon as possible.In fact, there are a hundred elite Dingbei Army guards following Su Mo's carriage alone, and it is impossible to encounter any danger.

Su Mo didn't answer her words, but looked up at the end of the road in the distance.Dozens of thick smoke rose from behind the earthy yellow hillside ten miles away, dyeing the afternoon sky into a deep black, and even the air seemed to have a choking smell.

"Xia Lan, the prince is really fighting Beidi's army?"

"Yes... yes." Xia Lan smiled nervously, "His Royal Highness has specially ordered that swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, and we girls can't get close."

If it had been someone else, she would have tied it up with a rope and taken it back.But Su Mo is the master, and she is the slave.No matter how much you don't want it in your heart, you can't say it hard, you can only persuade him with nice words.

"I don't think so," Su Mo shook her head lightly, "There is so much smoke, it looks like a fire. What did the prince say?"

Xia Lan blinked, and said vaguely: "I heard that there is a Beidi army approaching us, and His Royal Highness led the army to meet it. The servant has been with the imperial concubine, so I don't know."

Su Mo pondered: "If the enemy dares to come to fight our Dingbei army, it must not be a weak force. But Beiheng only led [-] cavalry and left all the generals in the camp, which shows that the opponent is not an army. The army. Since it is not an army, why do they have the guts to challenge?"

Xia Lan felt that her smile was almost completely frozen.

The princess is really not easy to fool.

Su Mo was thinking, and the Dingbei Army soldiers who were guarding around shouted, "Who is it?"

The weeds on the side of the road were noisy, and a shadow rushed out of the grass and rushed towards Su Mo.The coming is ferocious, like a hungry beast that has been lurking for a long time.

"Madam is in danger!" Xia Lan yelled, covering Su Mo with her body, and drew out her dagger.

Without waiting for her order, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army who were on guard had already raised their halberds, and several halberds pierced into the chest and abdomen of the visitor.

Su Mo looked over Xia Lan's shoulder. He was a young man from Beidi. He looked less than 20 years old. The sharp knife he raised had fallen to the ground. blood stained.

"Xia Lan, get out of the way." Su Mo ordered calmly.

Although she was on the battlefield for the first time, she was not like an ordinary woman.She was born with courage in the face of danger.

Xia Lan refused to move away, still holding the dagger: "Madam, you can't go there, in case he hurts you in his dying struggle."

"He's not a Beidi soldier, he's just an ordinary person." Su Mo walked around Xia Lan and walked towards the Beidi man.Xia Lan didn't dare to pull it, so she had to walk by her side.

Anyway, this man was hit with several halberds, so it was obviously hopeless.

"Who are you?" Su Mo squatted down and asked. "Why did you assassinate me?"

The Beidi man's eyes were about to burst, and he screamed something.Every time he yelled, a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

Su Mo couldn't understand Beidi's language, but she could tell that the other party's hatred for her seemed unforgettable.

The Beidi man yelled two sentences, one short and one long.His head drooped limply, and he lost his breath.The sergeants around pulled out their blood-stained halberds and looked around vigilantly.

"Go and search in the grass to see if anyone is lurking!"

Seeing the command of the guard commander, dozens of soldiers immediately rushed into the grass by the roadside, brandishing their knives and searching around to see if there were any assassins lurking in the grass.

The guard commander stepped forward, first kicked away the sharp knife on the ground, squatted down and turned the man over with a long halberd for a closer inspection.

"Concubine Shizi, he is dead." After checking, the guard commander stood up and said to Su Mo.

Su Mo lowered her eyes and said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Xia Lan said: "Concubine Shizi, it was very dangerous just now. Fortunately, there are guards. Let's go back quickly."

"Which one of you understands Beidi language?" Su Mo didn't answer her, but looked around at the sergeants. "Tell me, what did he say before he died?"

Hearing Su Mo's question, everyone around looked at one of the sergeants.

At first the sergeant wanted to hide behind others, but seeing that everyone was looking at him and he had nowhere to escape, he said in a panic: "The villain understands, but he dare not say it."

Su Mo didn't say a word, but turned to look at the guard commander.

The guard commander shivered, and shouted at the sergeant: "If there is anything you dare not say, you can say it if Madam tells you."

"Yes, yes," whispered the sergeant. "He said...he said 'demon.'"

Xia Lan said with a smile: "Hehe, we and Beidi are mortal enemies, of course they are demons in their eyes, let's go back, Shizifei."

"He should have said more than that," Su Mo said to the sergeant without moving, "What else did he say?"

The sergeant hesitated for a moment, then looked at the guard commander.

The guard commander glared at him: "What are you afraid of, tell me!"

The sergeant could only say: "He said 'the devil who destroyed our village'."

Su Mo's eyes widened suddenly, she turned her head to look into the distance billowing in thick smoke, and murmured: "Beiheng, you..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Lan just wanted to persuade her.Su Mo walked quickly towards the carriage and said to the driver, "Take me to the place where Yanqi is now."

Xia Lan turned pale with shock, followed Su Mo and said, "Princess Shizi, there may be enemies there, so don't go there."

"There are so many guards, why should I worry?" Su Mo held the car door and said to the guards, "You will protect me, right?"

The guard commander lowered his head and said, "This subordinate will swear to the death to protect the safety of the Crown Princess."

"That's good." Su Mo boarded the carriage and said to Xia Lan, "You chased him all the way just now, so get in the carriage too."

"Concubine Shizi, you can't go." The smile on Xia Lan's face had almost turned into crying, but she didn't dare to stop the master.

"Don't worry, if Bei Heng is angry, I will speak for you." Su Mo comforted her, "I will explain this to Bei Heng, you can get in the car."

Xia Lan had no choice but to get on the carriage, surrounded by the army, and turned around the hillside with the wind and dust rolling all the way.

With Xia Lan's support, Su Mo got out of the carriage.Before she could even take a step, she smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, which almost made her vomit on the spot.The choking smoke blackened the sky overhead.

"Concubine Shizi, cough...it's too choking here." Xia Lan said, "You go back to the carriage first, and the maidservant will check and come back...cough...report to you."

"It's okay."

Su Mo covered her mouth, pushed Xia Lan's arm away with one hand, and walked around the carriage.

In front of him was a village engulfed in flames, and corpses hanging from dead tree branches.
