Suddenly, a young palace maid walked past the carriage and greeted Xu Zizhen: "Mr. Xu, the princess invites you."
Li Meng gave a bad laugh and said in a low voice: "Uncle, my sister is looking for you to catch up on old times."
Xu Zizhen smiled and patted his forehead, walked a few steps quickly and jumped into the carriage. As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw Li Luoyan sitting there with a sad expression. Xu Zizhen thought she was still thinking about Li Sheng's death, and couldn't help but feel tender.
He said in a comforting voice: "Girl, don't be too sad, otherwise Brother Li won't feel at ease under Jiuquan."
Li Luoyan shook his head: "Brother Xu, I have kept it secret from you for so long. Luoer is really helpless. Please forgive me, Brother Xu."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "It's nothing, everyone has their own secrets, how can I blame you?"
Li Luoyan said: "It's not just that, Brother Xu, I'm just afraid that this time you come to Xixia... you will be implicated by me."
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but be stunned: "Implicated? How to say?"
Li Luoyan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You have already seen Empress Xiao. Does Brother Xu know that she is now deliberately trying to kill me?"
Xu Zizhen asked curiously: "Why should I kill you? Is she afraid that you will compete with her son for the throne? But you are just a princess and not a prince, so the two have nothing to do with each other."
Li Luoyan shook his head and said: "She is not afraid of me, but she is afraid that people in my family will come to take revenge."
Xu Zizhen became more and more confused and asked: "Xiao Meng said it just now, but I still don't understand. What does your mother's family have to do with Empress Xiao being so arrogant now?"
"Back then, my mother was sentenced to death for no reason, and my Yun family soon received the news. My grandfather and my uncle led the entire family elite into the palace to find...to get an explanation from him, but as the emperor, how could he accept it?
Coercion? What’s more, in a fit of rage, he ordered everyone in my family to be captured.”
Li Luoyan's voice became deeper and deeper, with hatred and anger that could not be concealed: "My second uncle rushed over after hearing the news and wanted to dissuade him, but he...he showed no mercy and killed a member of my mother's clan.
clean."
Xu Zizhen's whole body trembled. He didn't expect that Chongzong, who looked dull and lazy, could be so ruthless. However, he suddenly remembered a scene in his mind, which was the moment when Chongzong gave the order to shoot the assassins.
A sharp look.
Li Luoyan's emotions were obviously out of control, and her whole body was shaking involuntarily. Xu Zizhen patted the back of her hand gently and said softly: "Then what are your plans now?"
Li Luoyan said: "Brother Xu, you don't know something. In that battle that day, although all members of my Yun clan were captured, most of the masters in his palace were killed and injured as a result. The Xiao family took advantage of the situation and took advantage of this opportunity to control
The overall situation in the palace has been affected, and it has become the number one family in my country in Daxia. Even if he wants to stop it, he is powerless."
Xu Zizhen knew that the "he" in her mouth was Chongzong, the current Emperor of Xixia, so he saw that she was emotional and did not interrupt her.
Just listen to her continue to say: "The melee that day shocked the entire Daxia Kingdom. If my father hadn't desperately tried to take me out of the palace, I might have died in that melee. My second uncle tried to dissuade me to no avail but left with hatred.
Go, that is, the Master Jingde you met later."
Xu Zizhen was stunned. He never thought that the second prince of Xixia Kingdom would go to become a monk outside Suzhou. Also, Li Luoyan, who had always been a gentle and innocent woman in the world in his heart, would have such a complicated life experience.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Then...is the Yun family still there?"
Li Luoyan said: "Of course it is. Otherwise, what would the woman named Xiao be afraid of?"
Xu Zizhen asked curiously: "Oh? Does the Yun family still have such great power after suffering such a disaster?"
Li Luoyan said: "The Yun family is the largest family in the Great Xia Kingdom. Even after suffering the disaster, the appeal of the family is still very important, not to mention..." She bit her lips and whispered, "I
The Yun family has always had a feud with the Daliao royal family, and he does not dare to drive out my Yun family and kill them all."
Xu Zizhen finally realized that Empress Xiao framed Duan Hou, which almost destroyed the Yun family. Now that Li Luoyan has returned to the palace and sealed the princess, the Yun family seems to have found the backbone of the family. This revenge must be returned, so Empress Xiao is naturally panicked and also
In other words, Li Luoyan is now not only a princess, but also a banner of the Yun family.
Thinking of this, he was even more curious. He didn't know how powerful the Yun family was. Even Empress Xiao would be afraid of such methods. However, the Jin Kingdom had invaded Daliao, and this once powerful country was about to be wiped out. The Yun family was about to be wiped out.
What should we do if we lose this great help? This news may have spread to Xixia, but why is Empress Xiao still so afraid of the Yun family?
The relationship between this was complicated. Xu Zizhen was not good at thinking about this. He just felt that his head was as big as a bucket and he couldn't figure it out. At this moment, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air outside the car window.
"Be careful!" Xu Zizhen was startled, hugged Li Luoyan and pushed her down in the carriage.
A dense rain of arrows suddenly flew in from the car window, smashing the car into a mess. Xu Zizhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been shot into hedgehogs along with Li Luoyan.
There was a commotion among the eunuchs and maids who were accompanying them outside the car, and they exclaimed: "There is an assassin! Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Xu Zizhen whispered: "Girl, just lie down and don't move. I'll go out and take a look."
Li Luoyan showed no signs of panic: "Brother Xu, be careful!"
Xu Zizhen nodded, holding Tang Dao in his hand. He turned over and jumped out of the car. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he ducked and hid beside the car. Li Meng had already been guarding the car. His spear was left in Lanzhou Mansion. At this time, in his hand
He was holding an ordinary steel knife and was looking at the queue with a wary face.
More than a dozen men in black rushed over with long swords in their hands. Xu Zizhen's sharp eyes quickly discovered that the hems of their clothes were all embroidered with golden ripples.
"Damn, it's Sanjuetang again!" Xu Zizhen cursed and shouted softly, "Xiaomeng, you and I are protecting your sister!"
"good!"
The two of them quickly separated and stood in front of the car in the shape of horns. Although the number of people in Sanjuetang was not as large as theirs, they were all highly skilled. It was impossible to resist them with those ordinary palace guards. Those palace maids
The eunuch could only tremble all over and scream.
Since their target is Li Luoyan in the car, they can only stick to the side of the car!
Sure enough, as Xu Zizhen expected, the dozen or so men in black rushed into the team and quickly killed the guards like chopping melons and vegetables. The situation became increasingly critical, and Xu Zizhen couldn't help but feel something coming out of his hand.
Breaking into a cold sweat, these men in black had two ripples on their clothes, and three of them had three ripples. With their skills, he and Li Meng were no match for them.
Soon, the dozen or so men in black rushed straight to the front of the car with lightning speed. The leader didn't say much nonsense at all, and directly slashed at Xu Zizhen with his sword. The sword was fierce and fierce, and it struck at Xu Zizhen's face with a breathtaking power.
Come.
Xu Zizhen ducked and ducked, and he raised the knife to meet it. Hearing a soft crack, the knife in the man's hand suddenly lost a piece. The man was caught off guard and couldn't help but startled, Xu Zizhen even less.
After hesitating, he stepped forward and smeared his neck with the knife. The man grunted, and a blood arrow spurted out from his neck, and he was immediately stopped.
Now that he has rushed into the enemy group, he no longer has any scruples. The sword technique of Luancao is suitable for hitting more with less, not to mention that the current situation is extremely dangerous. Xu Zizhen shouted like a mad tiger in the dozen
The men in black started killing each other randomly.
The Tang Dao was so sharp that any weapon he touched would break or break. More than a dozen men in black were caught off guard and almost lost their position, but after all, they were long-trained assassins in the Sanjue Hall.
Soon he calmed down, and a dozen people spread out, surrounding Xu Zizhen in the center, but not approaching. No matter where Xu Zizhen attacked, the people on that side immediately took a few steps back, and the other three parties quickly surrounded him.
superior.
They are obviously very experienced, so Xu Zizhen has reached a stalemate, his attack has no effect, and he is trapped. Although there is no fighting for the time being, if this continues, once his flaw is discovered,
That's a losing situation.
Xu Zizhen was already complaining secretly at this time. In just a short period of time, he was attacked several times. Although he was not seriously injured due to his quick reaction, he suffered several minor injuries on his back, arms and waist.
The blood was pouring out from the wound, dyeing the clothes blood red.
The men in black still had no intention of attacking, but looked at him coldly, as if looking at a beast trapped in a cage, wary but contemptuous. They were waiting, waiting for Xu Zizhen's will to collapse, that would be their harvest.
At the time of his life.
"stop!"
With a loud scolding, Li Luoyan suddenly lifted the car curtain and stepped out. He glanced coldly at the dozen or so people in black, his expression indifferent, but with a hint of awe-inspiring inviolability. Li Meng dodged to protect her.
In front of him, he said anxiously: "Sister, why did you come down? Go back quickly!"
Li Luoyan shook his head and said firmly: "When did I, the son of the Yun family, become so cowardly? It's just Sanjuetang. If you want my life, just come and take it!"
A man in black smiled and said: "Your Highness the Princess is so courageous. In this case, I will be disrespectful." As he spoke, he waved to his accomplices beside him, and three people immediately separated and attacked Li Luoyan.
Xu Zizhen was anxious and wanted to rush out for rescue, but was dragged away and unable to break out. At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly jumped out of the forest and came to the crowd in the blink of an eye. She had a beautiful face and cold eyes, and she swept her eyes lightly.
He glanced at the dozen men in black and said coldly: "Why don't you take action yet?"
The men in black looked stern. The man in black who spoke earlier put his hand on his chest and bowed respectfully: "Forgive me, Zuo, this person..."
Just as he was speaking halfway, Zuo Shi suddenly raised his hand, white light flashed, and a long sword suddenly pierced the throat of the man in black. The man in black's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
He fell to the ground dead with an expression on his face.
Xu Zizhen saw it clearly in the crowd and couldn't help but be stunned: "Holy shit, Infernal Affairs?"
