Jiaochu

After saying goodbye to the bamboo forest, Yan Fei left the capital again. Before leaving, he gave the crystal-clear jade bracelet to Ye Lingxi. It was another month since he left. On the way back, he happened to meet the carriages and horses of King Pingnan and his entourage. The sky was dark at that time. It was almost dark, so in order to avoid suspicion, he chose another path to go back.

However, at night, an assassin ambushed King Pingnan and his party.

When Yan Fei heard the sound of fighting and came over, he happened to see the assassin leader using the phantom nine-day assassination trick against King Pingnan, and what he used was a seven-fold phantom.

He remembered a person he had fought with before, the guy next to Wu Peng, but his figure was different.

This was the first time King Pingnan had seen such a weird technique. In an instant, he was attacked by seven clones. The last sword was aimed directly at the heart, intending to kill him.

Fortunately, King Pingnan had deep internal strength and had developed a physique as strong as an iron wall. That sword failed to cause fatal damage. King Pingnan charged up a palm and broke the blade with one blow.

The assassin leader immediately retreated with the remaining people, as if he had completed his mission. Yan Fei followed closely, and Meng Tianlan also ordered Mu Qi to pursue him.

"Father?" Meng Jingxiu's nervous voice came from the carriage. King Pingnan reassured her that it was okay and asked her not to get down, but the people in the carriage got off anyway. There were two people who got off, besides Meng Jingxiu, there was Princess Pingnan.

Seeing the half-cut sword stuck on her father's chest, Meng Jingxiu was so frightened that she cried. Her tears kept falling like broken beads. King Pingnan reassured her that it was okay and pulled out the broken sword. Such reckless operation made Meng Tianlan anxious, and Princess Pingnan also frowned. She first stopped the bleeding and bandaged Prince Pingnan, and settled the accounts later.

When Yan Fei and Mu Qi came back, Princess Pingnan had already bandaged King Pingnan's wounds.

The two caught up with the assassins, but the assassins were very cunning and dispersed, allowing the assassin leader to escape.

When Yan Fei picked up the broken sword on the ground and observed it, he heard Meng Jingxiu exclaim, and King Pingnan spat out a mouthful of blood. He raised his finger and pointed at the broken sword in Yan Fei's hand. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth, and he could not speak at all. say. Meng Jingxiu was so frightened that she lost her mind. Princess Pingnan immediately understood what King Pingnan meant, and immediately gave King Pingnan acupuncture to protect his heart veins, and then sealed the major points all over his body to prevent the spread of toxins.

But he couldn't hold on for long. King Pingnan's face had turned gray-white, and blood was still flowing from his mouth.

Meng Jingxiu was so frightened that she could do nothing but cry. Princess Pingnan could no longer hold back the fear and fear in her heart, her tears kept falling, and Meng Tianlan went crazy to seek revenge on the assassins.

Yan Fei took out a bottle from his arms and poured out the pills inside. Everyone's eyes were focused on that pill, which contained everyone's last hope.

After King Pingnan took the medicine, he spit out a large mouthful of black blood and stopped moving.

Meng Tianlan grabbed Yan Fei's collar and tried to fight him. His eyes were ferocious and blood-red, filled with overwhelming murderous intent and anger.

At this time, a bright light appeared in front of him. It was the light of a torch. I didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend.

The fire approached quickly, and Meng Tianlan yelled, "Who!" The roar was deafening, like a tiger roaring in the forest, which frightened Meng Jingxiu. She had never seen her elder brother like this before, and she was so scared that she dared not cry.

Yanjiang's voice came over, and Yanfei reminded him, "It's the third uncle."

"The emperor asked me to come and meet the prince."

When Yanjiang saw King Pingnan lying on the ground like a dead man, he was startled. When he reached out his hand to check his breathing, he was stopped by Meng Tianlan, "Stop!"

His temper was quite bad, so Yanjiang clicked his tongue in his heart, stretched out his hand to feel King Pingnan's pulse, and asked Yanfei what was going on. Yanfei told what happened, and heard Yanfei give medicine to King Pingnan. "Yes," Yanjiang said confidently, "The prince will wake up in an hour at most."

After hearing Yan Jiang's words, Meng Tianlan calmed down a little. Yanjiang asked people to build a fire, and the bright fire dispelled some of the gloom on everyone's faces.

Everyone was waiting for King Pingnan to wake up, but no one said anything. Occasionally there was a crackling sound in the fire, and the splashing sparks were scattered in the night sky by the wind, like the little tails left behind by meteors flowing back into the sky.

The stars are brilliant, the night is as quiet as water, and the bright flames gradually dispel the coldness on everyone's faces, making people feel warm and at ease.

Yanjiang stirred the fire with a branch and added some branches to make the fire burn brighter.

Princess Pingnan immediately noticed that the grayish white on King Pingnan's face gradually faded, and the cold palms began to warm up. Tears once again overflowed from her eyes and fell on the back of King Pingnan's rough hands.

Seeing her mother-in-law crying again, Meng Jingxiu thought it was her father who was in trouble again, so she also cried.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again.

When Princess Pingnan said that King Pingnan was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with joy on their faces.

Yan Fei showed the severed sword to Yan Jiang and told him that the sword was poisonous. He looked at the fire for a while and said that it was made of black iron. He could tell at a glance that it was cut by King Ping Nan with his palm. Only a master like Pingnan Wang with profound internal strength and pure martial arts can do it, and he may not be able to chop it off with one palm.

Under the light of the fire, the sword blade glowed with a strange blue light.

Yanjiang frowned and looked solemn.

Meng Tianlan saw Yanjiang's expression change and asked him if he could tell what kind of poison was applied on it.

Yanjiang said a name: Xuelihong.

Hearing these three words, Princess Pingnan looked startled, with a look of fear deep in her eyes, as if recalling bad memories. She carefully tucked the blanket over Prince Pingnan and said, "Xuelihong is The secret medicine of the previous dynasty was prepared with more than a dozen rare poisons. It seals the throat when blood is seen, and there is no cure."

Hearing the next eight words, Meng Jingxiu couldn't help but shudder and asked hesitantly, "Then father...?"

Yanjiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty is blessed with good fortune and everything will be fine."

In less than an hour, King Pingnan woke up. The first thing he said after waking up was, "Have I gone to the underworld?" The next moment, he was slapped on the face by Princess Pingnan, and the clear voice was heard. Everyone turned their faces subconsciously to avoid being accidentally hurt.

"What hell! Take a good look at who I am?!"

When King Pingnan saw Princess Pingnan's eyes sparkling with tears, he wanted to go to the King of Hell to settle accounts with him, but Princess Pingnan glared at her and immediately became silent.

Princess Pingnan stood up and saluted Yanjiang and Yanfei to thank them, and Yanjiang quickly returned the gift. Meng Tianlan also apologized to Yanfei for his previous impulsiveness, and Yanfei patted him on the shoulder.

"How do you feel, Your Majesty?" Yanjiang asked across the fire.

King Pingnan looked at Princess Pingnan and did not dare to speak without permission.
