the other side.

After Fu Guan put some distance away from Qi Yu, he looked back. In his field of vision, the always proud young master of the Qi family was running away in a hurry. His posture was a bit embarrassed, but his usual arrogance was missing.

Fu Guan's eyes didn't stay on Qi Yu for more than half a minute, and he slowly stopped after he couldn't see anyone.

He glanced back and saw the killers who were chasing after him and surrounded him from both sides.

Just like the night attack on Qing'an Tea House a few months ago, the killers didn't hesitate at all when they attacked, and they acted with cold murderous intent.

Fu Guan calmly pulled the reins. Immediately, his fingers lightly hooked on the bowstring, and the longbow was immediately in hand.

He freed his hand to catch the arrow, and the bowstring was pulled out for a full moon.Then, only a few urgent buzzes were heard, and arrows flew away like meteors!

In an instant, the powerful meteor arrow went straight through the chest of the leading killer, and then hit the body of the killer chasing behind.

But at this moment, a strong wind struck from behind Fu Guan——

Fu Guan looked sideways slightly, and when he caught a glimpse of the threatening cold light in his peripheral vision, he reached out and touched the dagger hidden in the quiver, but suddenly! ——

"Be careful!"

A cold scolding sound suddenly came from the forest on the left. Between the lightning and flint, the flying dagger blocked the cold sword behind him.

Just hearing the buzzing sound of the two swords colliding, the dagger was immediately knocked away and flew out.

At the same time, Fu Guan turned his back and ducked away.

The dagger passed in front of him. Fu Guan's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. He hooked the string on his bow and the dagger flew back to Lou Xiyue's hand.

Lou Xiyue stepped on the fallen leaves in the grass with her toes and chased after him.

Her qinggong movements are exquisite, silent and blatant.She jumped up, turned over in mid-air, and caught the dagger: "Go on!"

After saying that, a long sword was thrown towards Fu Guan.

Fu Guan raised his hand to take the sword, and the two of them coordinated their attacks at the same time. In just one moment, they jointly killed the two killers.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Why are you dressed like this? What did you do just now?" Fu Guan took the time to ask when facing the enemy.

Lou Xiyue was not idle either.While facing the killer, she answered Fu Guan's question: "It's a long story." She said:
"I originally wanted to disguise myself as an assassin and scare Qi Yu. But I didn't expect that before I could take action, someone took action first - I just heard someone calling for help, so I put aside important matters and came over immediately."

Lou Xiyue looked at the assassins around him and said, "Are these people sent by Linlang Pavilion in conjunction with Prince Xiang Feng?"

Fu Guan replied: "You dare to commit murder here openly. If you say that the prince did not know about it, would you believe it if it were you?"

Lou Xiyue said: "It seems that this is all directed at you." She said: "He does this, is he really not afraid of others being suspicious?"

"These killers come from Linlang Pavilion. When the time comes, he will just blame Qiu Zhi's associates. It will be easy to clear the suspicion." Fu Guandao.

When he was still a prince, Xiang Feng was still a little wary of him.But now that the emperor was seriously ill and the prince was in charge of the country, he became more and more unruly, covering the sky with one hand.

He might not be able to do something like kill someone on his own territory.

Fu Guan and Lou Xiyue have both experienced the power of these killers and know that they are the most difficult to deal with. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them.

Lou Xiyue said: "Don't worry, Shangguanjie has already given the signal when we come. I believe it won't be long before reinforcements come."

"Shangguan Jie?" Fu Guan turned his head and asked, "Why are you with Shangguan Jie?"

Lou Xiyue was about to explain: "Is this..."

Before she could finish her words, a guard shouted from not far behind her: "The prince is there! Hurry, hurry up, protect the prince!" As soon as she finished speaking, a dozen guards with swords came after her.

Seeing this, Lou Xiyue immediately stopped.

She put the black gauze back on her face and jumped to Fu Guan's side.The two of them put their shoulders to each other and said, "I am not suitable for showing up in this outfit. You hold on for a while, and I will withdraw."

Fu Dian nodded, and immediately Lou Xiyue withdrew.

With her clever movement, she hid in the jungle and disappeared without a trace.

Later, when the guards came after him, Fu Guan was the only one left to respond to the enemy.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My subordinate's rescue came late. Is your Majesty still okay?"

Fu Guan put away his long sword and still held the long bow in his left hand.He said: "Fortunately you arrived in time, I am fine."

While talking, the guards were already fighting with the killer, and the two sides were fighting back and forth.

"My lord, please step back. I will escort your lord away first," said the head guard.

At the same time, Shangguan Jie came over panting: "Your Majesty the Guard is right. Your Majesty has a daughter of gold. This place is dangerous. Please leave first."

Upon hearing this, Fu Guan immediately turned around and glanced at Shangguan Jie.He was about to say something, but before he could speak, several urgent whistles sounded in the air.

The whistle sounded three long and two short, resounding throughout the jungle.

And the moment the whistle sounded, the killers on the scene all moved.Their bodies stiffened for a moment, and then they stepped back at the same time as if they had received some order.

Immediately afterwards, they retreated and ran as fast as a gust of wind, making it difficult for anyone to catch up.

The captain of the guard thought that the killers were afraid, and immediately ordered: "Don't let them run away, chase them quickly!" He said: "Dare to assassinate in the prince's palace, it is simply unreasonable! If we don't catch them, what will happen? Clear out Tsunaji! Chase him quickly!"

Fu Guan subconsciously stopped him and said: "Wait a minute - the timing of the killer's retreat is not right, there may be an ambush..." But then, he thought of the whistle he had just heard, and Lou Xiyue hiding in the dark.

The captain of the guard asked in confusion: "Is there still an ambush?" This is the hunting ground of His Royal Highness, how could the assassin set up an ambush here?
He thought for a moment and then said: "That's all, you go chase the murderer yourself. Just be careful. If the situation is not right, you can't fight. If you need to retreat, retreat."

"Yes, I understand." The captain of the guard said, "Then, Your Highness..."

Fu Guan: "You can go, Sir Shangguan is here, and I don't need your protection."

"My subordinate understands."

After saying that, the captain of the guard immediately led a group of his men and chased in the direction where the killer escaped.

Fu Guan watched them go away, then turned around after a moment.

At this time, Shangguan Jie also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he immediately said: "The princess just came here ahead of me. Can the prince see the princess?"

Fu Guan looked at him calmly, and then said: "I saw it. It's just that it's not convenient for her to show up, so she hid in the dark." He asked: "But I am very curious, how did Lord Shangguan meet the princess? "

Shangguan Jie smiled sheepishly and said, "To tell you what the prince is saying, this, this is all an accident. Previously, it was the princess who acted righteously and saved me from those dandies.

"Then we heard someone calling for help in the forest, and then together..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in the grass on one side of the path.Fu Guan and Shangguan Jie followed the sound at the same time, but saw Lou Xiyue blocking the grass half a person's height with both hands and getting out:

"Why are you still here? Come with me quickly. There is a situation ahead."
