Chapter 529 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3] 33

Chapter 529 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](33)

Bai Wu smiled brightly across the bonfire, "The first time Prince Wei met me, he called out the name 'Meier'. Later he asked me if I recognized her. I guess this girl who looks very similar to me is Prince Wei's sweetheart."

?”

Wei Changce said nothing, his eyes moved from her face to the fire in front of him, and veins appeared on his hands.

Bai Wu thought to herself again, "The prince is young and promising, and he values ​​friendship so much. Miss Meier is so happy."

"She's dead." Wei Changce said these three words from his throat, and the fire in his eyes seemed to jump faster.

Bai Wu was stunned, "Sorry, I don't know..."

Wei Changce stood up suddenly and cast a sideways glance, "It's cold at night. Even if Miss Liu is thinking about the emperor's heir in her belly, it would be better to hurry back to the carriage."

He stroked the black cloak on his body and made a gesture to leave.

However, a cold arrow cut through the cold wind and pierced Bai Wu with sharp light.

The cold arrow came quickly, but Wei Changce's movements were faster.

He instantly drew his sword, split the arrow into two pieces, and then flew to protect Bai Wu.

"There is an assassin, everyone, be careful!"

The guards who were already a little sleepy suddenly woke up and rushed over one after another, surrounding Bai Wu.

In the dark night, arrows glowing with cold light were shot one after another.

Wei Changce waved his sword to resist, while protecting Bai Wu and retreating continuously.

The guards around him fell down one after another. Guard Changce stared, whistled to summon his mount, and jumped up with Bai Wu in his arms.

The unexpected feeling of weightlessness made Bai Wu cry out.

Hearing this familiar cooing voice, Wei Changce stiffened subconsciously.

Just when he was lost in thought, a sharp arrow struck from behind.

He turned sideways like a conditioned reflex and dodged.

Looking at the woman huddled in his arms, Wei Changce gritted his teeth.

Now is not the time to be distracted, you have to get rid of those people quickly.

He tightened the reins and galloped the horse through the woods.

Although the night was dark, Wei Changce was still able to avoid obstacles and cold arrows shot by assassins behind him with ease.

The assassins were obviously aware of this, so they put down their bows and arrows and chased after him on horseback.

After leaving the forest, not far ahead is the town where the guards are stationed.

As long as you get rid of those people, they will be saved.

Bai Wu also knows this very well.

But now she is pretending to be a pregnant woman who is pregnant with Liujia. If she doesn't react, Wei Changce will definitely find clues based on his thoughts.

So she snorted coldly, grabbed the hem of Wei Changce's clothes, and moaned in pain, "Wei, Prince Wei, no, my stomach hurts..."

Only then did Wei Changce realize her body. The reins tightened and the horse's hooves slowed down.

But at the same time, those assassins also seized the opportunity to catch up.

The guard commander simply put Bai Wu down, drew out his sword, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and killed her back.

In less than a moment, most of the assassins who caught up were already gone.

But one punch can't defeat many.

No matter how skilled Wei Changce was, he still let an assassin take advantage of him without paying attention.

The assassin rode on a horse, flew up and struck Bai Wu who was hiding behind a stone with a knife.

Bai Wu couldn't dodge and could only huddle on the ground.

However, with a howl, the assassin fell not far from her.

Bai Wu opened her eyes and saw that he had been hit by an arrow on the head.

The arrow shot so deep that it almost penetrated his skull, killing him on the spot.

This shows the strength of the person holding the arrow.

Behind the assassin was Rong Chen, dressed in snow.

He was riding a white horse, the crossbow in his hand had not yet been loosened, and his eyes were as cold as an abyss of ice.

Seeing this, Wei Changce breathed a sigh of relief and raised his sword to kill an assassin nearby.

The remaining people saw several white-clothed waiters coming on horseback. After looking at each other, they gave up the idea of ​​assassinating and fled in panic.

Rong Chen dismounted his horse and walked towards Bai Wu calmly, then bent down and stretched out his hand, "Are you okay?"

But Bai Wu clearly saw the tension and uneasiness in his eyes that could not be concealed under his golden face.

His breathing was also noticeably faster.

Bai Wu secretly curled her lips and did not take the hand he extended, but looked at him slightly in surprise, "Master Priest? Why are you here?"

Wei Changce also dismounted, frowned and stepped forward, picked up Bai Wu and protected her behind him, "Miss Liu is right to ask, why is Master Sacrifice here?"

Rong Chen saw the hostility in his eyes, and closed his fingertips to his side.

The tension and anxiety in his eyes disappeared completely in an instant.

"Your Majesty, you don't think these assassins were brought by me, do you?"

Wei Changce snorted coldly, "How can I dare to maliciously speculate on the priest? But it seems that no one except the priest knows that we are taking this road back to Beijing, right?"

Si Tong couldn't listen anymore and stepped forward with a deep eye, "Prince Wei, speak carefully. It's because we adults are worried about you that we came back to look for you. If not..."

"Si Tong." Rong Chen said in a low voice, "Don't be rude."

Then he looked at Wei Changce calmly, "Your Majesty's suspicion is reasonable, but I have nothing to do with this matter. The reason why I came to you is because something unexpected happened."

Then he glanced at Siqi.

Si Qi turned around knowingly, entered the carriage, and pulled out a corpse from inside.

It was Wu Xian from Lingnan Town.

Wei Changce looked at the bloodless corpse on the ground with a look of shock on his face, "This..."

"He died the day after we left Lingnan Town." Rong Chen said calmly.

"Who killed him?" Wei Changce also stared.

Rong Chen shook his head, but glanced at Bai Wu calmly.

Because there is a pair of dark purple fang marks on Wu Xian's body.

It looks like the traces left by a python.

He immediately thought of the black python necklace Bai Wu had worn before.

He always felt that it was not a dead thing.

So in order not to cause unnecessary panic, he concealed the cause of Wu Xian's death.

Not even the followers around him knew the truth.

But Wei Changce did not lower his guard because of this, and still said coldly, "Wu Xian's death is none of our business. Is this the reason why you came to us?"

Rong Chen seemed to have expected that he would say this, and calmly took something out of his sleeve.

"I have received a letter from the eldest princess. She requested that I go to the imperial city to discuss the succession of the throne."

Wei Changce took the handwriting and quickly locked the seal on it.

It was exactly the same as the one he got from General Chang.

He couldn't help but frown.

What on earth is the eldest princess going to do?

Little did they know that a mischievous light flashed in Bai Wu's eyes hiding behind him.

She sent someone to deliver the handwriting to Rong Chen.

After all, she will soon return to the palace as Liu Qiqi, and there will be a bloody storm.

With the high priest of the temple here, this storm will only become more violent.

How can she close the net without bringing people together?
