Xiaolan was still sleeping soundly, her tired look was pitiful, but the baby in her arms had her eyes wide open at this time, as if she was aware of the danger approaching, but what is strange is that the baby did not even make a sound.
of noise.
Tang Yaotian's face was calm. The footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer. After a moment, several figures suddenly emerged from the forest and surrounded him. One of them moved extremely fast, and the dagger in his hand was instantly wiped out.
His neck. Several others quickly moved towards Xiaolan.
It was obvious that these people came here just to kill people. As the only outsider here, Tang Yaotian was naturally their first target.
The cold blade was close to Tang Yaotian's skin, but he did not move. The man who wielded the knife had sharp skills. With a move of his right hand, the sharp blade slashed Tang Yaotian's throat. But what he didn't expect was that this knife actually
Sparks were drawn, but no blood was spilled.
Tang Yaotian's eyes opened even wider, which allowed the assassin to see his face clearly, and he trembled in fright and backed away. The other people were also frightened when they saw sparks splashing on the blade.
"Why don't you take action?" Tang Yaotian said softly.
The assassin knew that he had met an expert and did not speak. He made a strange sound from his mouth. The two men who rushed towards Xiaolan raised their daggers and were about to stab her. But at this moment, two black lights struck.
However, the two men did not understand what was happening, and their heads were cut off.
The dark moonlight passed through the layers of leaves and scattered sporadically in the forest. After seeing this, the assassin made a strange noise and rushed towards Xiaolan.
Tang Yaotian still didn't move, but just reminded: "Keep alive!"
These people thought that they could kill Xiaolan with their large numbers, but whenever they approached Xiaolan, they were all killed by black light, and their heads were cut off. Only one of them had his arm cut off. Their wounds
, all leaving a piece of black feathers.
Blood splashed on Xiaolan's face, causing her to wake up from her dream. When she saw the corpses lying next to her, her expression changed instantly. She hugged the baby tightly in her arms, trembling all over and not daring to say a word.
.
Before and after, in just a sip of tea, a total of seventeen people who came to assassinate were killed without anyone noticing, and one person was captured by Jingyu, but the other person quickly committed suicide.
It was beyond Jingyu's expectation.
Tang Yaotian looked at the limp body of the man with a broken arm. He frowned and asked, "Suicide?"
Jingyu said 'hmm': "I didn't expect him to react so quickly. I could have stopped him!"
Tang Yaotian smiled and said: "I don't blame you. These people came to assassinate with the intention of death. Even if they were left alive, they might not say anything."
Tang Yaotian said, walked to Xiaolan's side, grabbed the other person's arm with one hand, lifted her up directly, and asked: "Are you still resting?"
After hearing this, Xiaolan shook her head repeatedly and said in a trembling voice: "We... let's leave quickly, thank you... thank you!"
Tang Yaotian smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer. After all, you know in your heart that with me here, nothing will happen to you!"
Xiaolan looked embarrassed when Tang Yaotian revealed her thoughts, but she said extremely sincerely: "I know you are very powerful. For the comfort of our mother and son, please help us. If...if you think that I
It’s very troublesome, so just leave me behind and send my child to the general’s mansion in Xuanwu City!”
Tang Yaotian waved his hand, called the wolf head over, and said: "Get in the car quickly, don't always talk nonsense!"
"Thank... thank you." Xiaolan said softly after getting in the car.
Tang Yaotian shook his head gently and didn't reply. When the carriage came out of the woods, the sun had already risen. Tang Yaotian didn't say a word all the way, and he didn't ask about the killers. But the little boy sitting on the carriage
Lan, however, was extremely uneasy. Sometimes she wanted to say something, but she held it back.
In Xuanwu City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, an old man in his eighties was pacing back and forth in the room. His forehead was covered with wrinkles, and his curved body gave people the possibility of falling down at any time. But from his perspective
His shrewdness can be seen in his aura and gaze. It seems that age has not erased his youthful heart.
This is the current Prime Minister of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Jia Di, who is one hundred and seventeen years old and is a half-cultivator. He learned alchemy by chance when he was young, and it is because of this that he has achieved today's achievements.
At this time, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in from outside. Seeing him, the Jiadi people hurriedly asked in a low voice: "How is the matter going? Have you got the child?"
"No one came back, so there must be trouble!" the middle-aged man answered neatly.
The Jiadi patted his thigh, gritted his teeth and said, "How could something go wrong?"
"I don't know, but the time has come. Since they haven't come back, they will never come back!" the middle-aged man said with certainty.
The Jia Di people glanced at each other and asked: "It won't be leaked, will it?"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, these people are all mute. Even if they die, they won't be able to say a word!" the middle-aged man replied.
The Jade man sighed helplessly and said: "We struck preemptively, but we didn't expect that the fate of the mother and son was so great. Who was helping her secretly?" When he said this, he glanced at the middle-aged man and asked
: "No one in the general's office knows about this matter yet. Is there anything else that can be done?"
The middle-aged man understood what the other party meant, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "After passing the Qingsong Forest, we will arrive at Xuanwu City soon. The people we sent have not come back. Even if we send out, they probably won't succeed.
On the contrary, our purpose may be exposed."
The Jiardian sighed helplessly, and then said: "In that case, let's put this matter aside for now. I want to see who is helping her! Go down!"
"My subordinates resign!" the middle-aged man said and left quickly.
There was murderous intent in the eyes of the Jiadi people. They originally thought they were bound to win, but they failed in the end. This kind of gap really makes people feel unwilling.
--------------------------------------------------
Because he met the assassin, Langtou's speed increased a little, and it was not until noon that Xiaolan said, "By evening, we should be able to reach Xuanwu City."
Seeing that Tang Yaotian still didn't speak, she asked cautiously: "Brother, are you angry with me?"
This sentence made Tang Yaotian happy for a moment, and he said softly: "Your matter has nothing to do with me, why should I be angry? I have been thinking about what changes have happened in Xuanwu City!" Indeed, the distance from Xuanwu City is getting closer and closer.
Tang Yaotian couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. He looked ahead faintly, thinking about the past along the way.
"You are my savior. I shouldn't hide it from you, but I'm afraid that the Li family's affairs will bring you trouble." She sighed slightly and added: "I am the wife of General Li Da of Xuanwu Kingdom.
Three months ago, I took my son back to Yamamaru Castle to celebrate my mother's birthday. When I came back, I was robbed and killed by gangsters. All my followers were killed in the battle, and only one person was left to lead me out."
She paused and then said: "I just didn't expect that it rained all night, and we encountered a pack of wolves on the way. If it hadn't been for my brothers to save us, we, mother and son, might have died long ago!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Tang Yaotian quietly. Seeing that the other party did not speak, she whispered: "What I said is all the truth, and there is absolutely no lie! Please believe me!"
"Do you know who is chasing you?" Tang Yaotian asked.
Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't know. My husband controls most of the military power of the Xuanwu Kingdom. He has fought in the north and south, and conquered many kingdoms. Just like this, he has also established enemies in the court. I just didn't expect that these people would actually
They will attack me!"
Tang Yaotian sighed. He never thought that someone would kill him: "This world is like this. People's hearts are sinister. You can never guess what others will do."
After hearing this, Xiaolan said slowly: "Actually, there are many good people, but you have a good heart!"
Tang Yaotian laughed loudly. If this woman knew that she watched the other party's bodyguard being killed without even a little compassion, she might not think so. If it weren't for the baby's cry,
How could he care about this woman?
"How do you know I'm a good person? Maybe I'm worse than those who want to kill you!" Tang Yaotian said.
The woman gritted her teeth, looked at Tang Yaotian's back, and said, "No matter what, you saved the lives of our mother and son, and I want to thank you!"
Tang Yaotian took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Who is the current king of Xuanwu Kingdom?"
"We are all addressed by His Majesty, so how can we directly say His name?" the woman said.
Tang Yaotian sneered and said: "There are quite a few rules. Then I ask, and you just answer. Is the current Holy Emperor Han Tian?" When he uttered the last two words, there was a trace of emotion in his tone.
murderous look.
When Han Tong was dying, there was a lump of air in his throat, as if his soul could not go to heaven or hell. This was resentment. Now that Han Tian was mentioned again, although Tang Yaotian was different from Han Tong, the resentment in his heart still remained.
Although so many years have passed, Tang Yaotian has never forgotten this incident. But having said that, now that so much time has passed, it is impossible to know whether Han Tian is the Holy Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom.
But Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said: "Yes!"
After hearing this, Tang Yaotian suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter echoed around and lasted for a long time. He couldn't help but say: "I remember there is an old saying, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. Look.
It’s true!”
Xiaolan was slightly stunned. The sarcasm in the other person's words was naturally referring to the current emperor. She didn't know why the other party belittled Han Tian so much. Although she was confused, she didn't dare to ask.
