Chapter 174 Killing Heart

On a hidden mountain road in Guanmei Mountain, Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan ran all the way to the back mountain.

Xie Zhaozhao has briefly explained the distance between these few steps. The back mountain has a secret passage into the temple in Guanmei Mountain.

Now that the situation was urgent, Xie Changyuan no longer bothered to ask her how she knew.

There were weeds growing on the hilly road, and the clothes on the brother and sister were all torn.

The two of them used their swords to cut off the weeds to clear the way. After walking for a while, before they entered the back mountain, they heard a noise in front of them and the sound of swords clashing one after another.

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan looked at each other and immediately quickened their pace towards the mountain.

After a while, the field of vision widened.

Among the green mountains and green waters, several figures in gray clothes moving not far away looked very dazzling.

"Where did the thief come from!"

Xie Changyuan shouted coldly and took the lead in sweeping away with his sword, picking up a piece of withered grass and thorns and flying towards those people.

Several people were wearing gray hoods, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and they immediately attacked Xie Changyuan and Xie Zhaozhao.

"Stay alive."

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan winked, drew their swords and stepped forward.

Hongxiu Hongxia, who came with them, and the two Lei parents around Xie Changyuan also swarmed up.

There were about ten people in gray clothes. Although their martial arts were good, Xie Changyuan and Xie Zhaozhao fought fiercely, and several of them fell down in an instant.

Seeing that he was outmatched, the man in gray retreated.

But when the people here started to take action, Xie Zhaozhao had already fired the signal arrow.

The imperial troops and escorts brought by the prince in front of Guanmei Mountain saw the signal, and some people were already surrounding the place.

Not far away, standing on the big rock behind the shade of a tree, was a man in green clothes and a black scarf covering his face.

The man's eyes showed surprise and deep thought.

Why did Xie Zhaozhao come?

At this moment, a man in gray rolled under a tree not far in front of him, and Xie Zhaozhao also pursued him.

The frosty moon sword flashed with silver light, and the man in gray screamed and fell.

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes moved slightly, and he caught sight of the figure behind the shade of the tree. The next moment, he stabbed that person with his long sword.

The figure behind the shade of the tree flashed, dodged with agility, and landed lightly in front of Xie Zhaozhao.

"It's you?"

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were condensed, "How dare you plot to assassinate the prince!"

Chu Nanxuan said coldly: "I just heard a noise here, so I came to check, it was just a coincidence."

"Then you are really lucky." Xie Zhaozhao sneered and slashed at Chu Nanxuan's face with a sword flower.

She doesn't believe it at all!
Chu Nanxuan gritted his teeth and said, "I saw your signal arrow, so I came to check it out."

However, Xie Zhaozhao no longer wanted to talk to him, and his every move was extremely fierce.

Chu Nanxuan's heart sank, he never expected this.

These assassins must not be left alive, otherwise he will really not be able to get away with it if they continue to be traced.

He took advantage of the gap between his actions and Xie Zhaozhao's attack, and swiped his sword with his backhand.

The man in black who had just been defeated by Xie Zhaozhao had his throat sealed with a sword and died.

"I'm really here to save you—" Chu Nanxuan scolded in a deep voice, and then used two swords with his backhand to kill the other person.

Xie Zhaozhao's expression was gloomy, and he pushed Chu Nanxuan far away with his swords.

If she had just suspected it just now, now she was sure that it was Chu Nanxuan who was plotting to assassinate the prince.

This treacherous and despicable thing.

Over there, Xie Changyuan also noticed that Chu Nanxuan was behaving strangely, and if the assassins in front of him were not alive, they would not be able to do anything to Chu Nanxuan without evidence.

Xie Changyuan gestured towards Hong Xiu.

Hongxiu nodded and led Hongxia to surround the defeated assassins. Xie Changyuan and the Lei brothers dealt with the remaining assassins.

"The most important thing now is to go to the front to check on the prince's condition instead of wasting time here." Chu Nanxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Xie Zhaozhao, why are you so unreasonable!"

Xie Zhaozhao sneered: "You don't need to teach me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed Chu Nanxuan with his sword.Chu Nanxuan was born in a general family and had practiced diligently for many years. She considered herself to be extremely skilled in martial arts. She had been unable to benefit from Xie Zhaozhao's fight since she was a child.

But today, Xie Zhaozhao had murderous intentions and pressed forward step by step.

In a moment, Chu Nanxuan's body was stained with color in several places.

Chu Nanxuan was horrified and angry.

He was shocked by her moves, but even more angry that she had no mercy for him and actually wanted his life.

They have been together since childhood. Although he and Xie Xingchen had something in common, he had really been moved by Xie Zhaozhao back then, otherwise he would not have impulsively handed over all the Chu family's death-free certificates to her.

Now, now—

Xie Zhaozhao slashed his sword, but Chu Nanxuan immediately dodged, still too slowly.

Chu Nanxuan felt an unknown amount of blood dripping down his cheeks, he tasted a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth, and his face bones ached.

Chu Nanxuan was extremely angry, all the hesitations in his heart disappeared, and he no longer reserved any moves.

Although Xie Zhaozhao suffered several superficial injuries, he became more courageous as he fought.

Taking advantage of Chu Nanxuan's missed opportunity, Xie Zhaozhao swiped at him with his sword.

At this moment, there was a "swish" sound from behind.

Someone fired a hidden arrow.

At this time, Xie Zhaozhao leaped into the air, tried his best to avoid the vital point and took up his position, and struck Chu Nanxuan's waist with his sword.

Chu Nanxuan rolled down the hillside.

When Xie Zhaozhao landed, he almost lost his sword.

She lowered her head and saw a short arrow piercing her shoulder, and purple-black blood seeping out of her clothes.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly, feeling dizzy and confused.

"Zhao Zhao—"

Xie Changyuan was heard calling her anxiously.

Xie Zhaozhao was unable to respond and fell softly.

……

Xie Zhaozhao lost consciousness and jolted for a long time in a daze before reaching some warm and soft place.

She raised her eyelids with difficulty and saw that there seemed to be people coming in and out, and someone was sitting next to the bed.

"woke up?"

The man asked, with unspeakable excitement and worry in his voice, "Someone come quickly -"

Xie Zhaozhao's head became even more dizzy and he fell into a coma again.

In a trance, she dreamed that when she was a teenager, she and her father and brother traveled to various battlefields and suffered countless injuries, large and small.

Once he was shot in the abdomen with an arrow.

Although there were no critical injuries, the fighting was too intense, which delayed the treatment time. In addition, the weather was cold and he caught a cold. He actually fell into a coma and did not wake up for more than half a month.

But all his parents and brothers were frightened.

That time, I felt so groggy.

When she woke up, there was a haggard-looking young man lying beside the bed. He didn't know how long he had been guarding her.

Xie Zhaozhao woke up from sleep with pain in his shoulder.

I don’t know how long it took, but I just felt as uncomfortable as my throat burning.

She raised her eyelids with some difficulty and looked at the light pink bed curtain for a long time before slowly exhaling.

The hand was pinched and wrapped between a pair of big palms.

Xie Zhaozhao remembered what happened in his dream and looked sideways at the couch with difficulty.

The handsome-looking young man leaned against the bedpost with his eyes closed and his eyebrows furrowed, looking stern and full of melancholy.

His face looked as haggard as in a dream, and he hadn't had a good rest for an unknown amount of time.

Xie Zhaozhao felt soft and did not wake him up.
