It was only about a cup of tea before those dead men covered in black veils appeared outside Hanquan Palace.
Xia Wenze blocked the door and drew his sword.
Shen Huan walked out quickly and looked at the team of about dozens of people in front of him in surprise. This should be their leading team, and there must be a follow-up outside the palace!
"How did you get in?" Shen Huan had a cold face, but she guessed in her heart that everything was just as Cui Shanggong said. They came in through the north gate so easily. There must be a spy in the Northern Army! And that person, The grade must be very high!
Xia Wenze didn't know who these people were, so he stopped Shen Huan and said, "I'll go in first, I won't let them hurt you."
Cui Shanggong said from the side: "They will not hurt the empress, they are here to take her away."
Xia Wenze frowned and wanted to ask Cui Shanggong what he meant by this, but his eyes never left the leader, for fear that if he was negligent, it would be bad if they rushed up together.
The dead men in black were headed by a slender young man. In the dark night, he only showed a pair of eyes as bright as stars. Those eyes were fully alert when looking at Xia Wenze, but when their eyes touched Shen Huan, they revealed Showing a gentle and soft expression like the spring breeze
Shen Huan felt excited, looked at the leader and asked: "Who are you?"
The leader in black spoke softly and said: "Your Highness, please don't be afraid, we are here to take you back to the palace."
Shen Huan sneered: "This is my palace, where do you want to take me back?"
The man sighed: "Maybe it was here before, but it won't be here now and in the future. Your Highness, we don't have much time. If we don't leave, I'm afraid Chu Xichen will come over and we won't be able to leave."
Shen Huan was still cold: "Whether you can leave or not has nothing to do with me. I won't leave!"
The gentle black-clothed leader seemed to smile, and his laughter was a little helpless, but he quickly made a gesture to his subordinates, and three or four people immediately came forward to surround Xia Wenze. His body shape changed, and he quickly reached Shen Huan's side. , before Shen Huan could speak, he whispered: "Your Highness, I'm sorry." He hugged Shen Huan and carried her to a group of people in black. Cui Shanggong followed behind and was surrounded by people in black. Stay and slowly retreat toward the north gate
"Let me go!" Shen Wen slapped the leader in black angrily, and accidentally pulled off his veil. Only then did Shen Wen realize that the face in the veil was as gentle as his eyes and voice. young
This is a gentle young man. If it were not for the dignified black surrounding him, he should belong to the sunshine.
He was not angry at Shen Huan's actions. Instead, he smiled kindly at her. It was strange that under such a smile, Shen Huan actually felt a little at ease.
"Your Highness, please don't move, we will leave here soon." It was still a gentle smile and a gentle tone, without any dissatisfaction or grudge.
Shen Huan stared at him blankly, forgetting to struggle
Only then did I realize that this man, hidden in black and seemingly thin, actually had a pair of strong arms.
Xia Wenze was still fighting the four people desperately, and Shen Huan shouted loudly: "Don't hurt him!"
The four of them were stunned. Xia Wenze quickly knocked down two of them and rushed into the middle of the men in black, breaking the original surrounding pattern.
Shen Wen took a breath of cold air and shouted: "Xia Wenze!" He must be crazy. How could he alone be able to withstand the siege of dozens of people?
Leader Wen asked: "Your Highness is nervous about him?"
Shen Huan stared at him and said, "He is my friend!"
Leader Wen looked back at Xia Wenze, shook his head gently, and still walked towards the north gate with Shen Huan.
At this time, a group of Yulin Guards came quickly, and the crossbowmen quickly aimed all their arrows at them.
Then, Shen Huan saw Wei Zifeng's face, and then the dazzling bright yellow face - Chu Xichen was sitting on the dragon's bench with a stern look on his face.
When he saw the person holding Shen Huan, he did not cover his face and sneered slightly: "Xiao Wumian, I didn't expect you to come in person. Is the person in your hand very important to you?"
It turns out his name is Xiao Wumian, Shen Huan thought, looking at him, his eyes were still as calm as before
"If you intercept me at this time and know who I am, your Majesty must have been prepared for it?" Xiao Wumian said lightly.
Shen Huan was shocked and quickly looked at Chu Xichen. Chu Xichen did not look at him, but murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
For some reason, Shen Huan whispered in Xiao Wumian's ear: "Let's go quickly."
Xiao Wumian also saw the murderous intent in Chu Xichen's eyes and quickly retreated. A group of dead soldiers stood in front of them.
Chu Xichen gave an order: "Fire the arrows! Leave no one behind!"
Shen Huan looked at him in surprise. Sure enough, he saw a rain of swords flying towards them. A circle of dead soldiers in front of them quickly fell down. Xiao Wumian protected Shen Huan behind him while blocking the flying arrows.
Those people stopped pestering Xia Wenze and quickly came to protect Xiao Wumian. Xiao Wumian led Shen Huan and jumped over the crowd and ran towards the north gate. The north gate was still under their control. As long as they left the north gate, they could Leave the palace
Shen Huan hugged Xiao Wumian tightly. She could still see the rain of swords in the sky and the men in black who kept falling. There were swords flying towards them, but Xiao Wumian dodged...
A cold smile appeared on her lips, Chu Xichen, do you really want to kill me...
There were not many men in black left, and the Yulin Guards were chasing after them. Fortunately, Xiao Wumian finally escaped from the north gate with Shen Huan. A carriage had been prepared outside the north gate. Xiao Wumian sent Shen Huan to the carriage. On the way, Shen Huan was in shock and suddenly screamed: "Teacher! Where is the teacher?!"
Xiao Wumian was stunned and looked back. The Yulin Guards were already chasing him. There were only a dozen dead soldiers surrounding the carriage, so they would definitely not be able to resist him!
But... Shen Huan shouted: "We can't leave the teacher behind!"
Xiao Wumian frowned and walked back. As soon as he took two steps, he saw Xia Wenze coming with Cui Shanggong.
When Wei Zifeng saw Xia Wenze coming with Cui Shanggong and leading Cui Shanggong to the carriage, Wei Zifeng's face darkened and he shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Xiao Wumian quickly pushed Shen Huan into the carriage, closed the door, and ran towards Cui Shanggong
Shen Huan only heard the sound of sword rain hitting the car door. She was too frightened to open the door, so she had to lift the curtain and look out with one eye. However, she could see nothing except the light of swords and the shadows of swords.
The carriage started moving, and the speed was getting faster and faster. She held on to the handrails in the carriage tightly to prevent herself from being knocked upside down.
After an unknown amount of time, the car door opened and she saw Xiao Wumian, Cui Shanggong, and... Xia Wenze!
Xiao Wumian and Cui Shanggong are both safe, but Xia Wenze...
Shen Wen rushed over and saw that Xia Wenze's back was covered with the Eagle Feathered Arrows of the Yulin Guards! Like a hedgehog, they were densely packed without any gaps.
"How could this happen?" she asked sharply, her voice trembling.
Cui Shanggong looked pale and said in a hoarse voice: "To save me..."
Seeing that Xia Wenze's fingers were still moving, Shen Wen quickly held his hand and cried, "Brother Xia!"
Xia Wenze opened his eyes and saw Shen Huan. His voice was too low to hear clearly. Shen Huan put his ear closer and heard him say: "Huan, don't misunderstand the emperor. The Yulin Guards are well-trained and they will not accidentally hurt you." your……"
Shen Wen's tears flowed down violently, and she cried: "How long have you been talking about this? You saved the teacher, you saved the teacher with your body?!"
Xia Wenze exhaled slowly, and the sound was like a mosquito. Shen Huan tried her best to listen, and then she heard him say: "If she dies, you will definitely be sad. I... don't want you to be sad..."
"No...Brother Xia, if you die, I will be sad too! Don't die, Brother Xia, please don't die..."
Xia Wenze's mouth opened, but no more sound came out. Shen Wen only felt his hand sink... His eyes slowly closed... Shen Wen held his weak hand tightly and refused to let go. , I opened my mouth wide but no sound came out, but tears kept pouring out until I fainted.
