Liu Rumian finally asked Xiao Dingcheng to accompany her on the trip to offer incense... After all, if Sheng Nuan was taken by the old lady and princess to offer incense on the same day, but she did not go, how would she behave in the palace in the future?
Xiao Dingcheng learned that Sheng Nuan was asked by the old lady to go with him. He originally wanted to stuff Liu Rumian in, but as soon as he went over, he was stopped by Aunt Gui, saying that the old lady didn't like people waiting around.
The words "Idle people waiting" almost made Liu Rumian cry in humiliation on the spot.
Later, Xiao Dingcheng had to prepare a carriage for Liu Rumian alone, but the specifications were naturally not as good as those of the old lady and the princess... Behind those huge and luxurious carriages, he looked like a servant.
Liu Rumian felt humiliated in her heart, but she could only endure it. If she couldn't stop being angry now, those people would only find a reason to do something.
When they arrived at the temple, Liu Rumian endured the humiliation and wanted to wait in front of the old lady, but the old lady only took Sheng Nuan with her and didn't even look at her.
She could only force herself to find the princess, but the princess was even colder and said she wanted to be alone.
In the end, Liu Rumian could only lick her face and muster up the courage to go find the princess, thinking that at least she would not go back alone in someone else's car... However, she was killed by the Su before she could even see the princess's face.
My aunt stopped me.
Just like that, on the way back, Liu Rumian was still nestled in the carriage, gnashing her teeth with hatred and crying...even though the carriage was actually spacious enough for her.
But just when the convoy reached the mountain forest between Huguo Temple and Shengjing City, the assassin attacked...
When Sheng Nuan received the reminder from customer service, the convoy had already entered the assassin's ambush.
Because this plot had nothing to do with her mission in the original plot, customer service did not check it in advance and did not issue an emergency warning until danger struck.
Sheng Nuan didn't bother to scold the unreliable customer service, and subconsciously pressed the old lady's head down and lowered her down... The old lady was shocked and furious, thinking that Sheng Nuan was crazy. The next moment, a pop of arrows
The sound of arrows sounded.
A thick and sharp arrow pierced through the wall of the car, revealing a sharp tip. The old lady was so shocked that her expression immediately changed.
"Lie down and don't move."
Sheng Nuan's scalp was also a little numb. She shouted urgently while dragging Aunt Gui next to her and letting her lie down with the old lady.
"Don't worry about me, protect the old lady..."
Aunt Gui still wanted to struggle, but Sheng Nuan pushed her down without any explanation.
She covered the two old ladies with the quilt in the carriage, and then dismantled the wooden table in the carriage into two wooden boards to block the sides.
"Hold the board and don't move it."
After saying that, she opened the curtain and got out... but in this moment, the outside had become a hell on earth.
First, a burst of thick siege crossbows came with murderous intent, and the surrounding guards were pierced and fell from their horses before they even had time to react, and then came the dense arrows.
Xiao Dingcheng's face turned livid when he saw the siege crossbow.
After all, he had been tempered in the military, so he did not panic. While commanding the remaining guards to protect the palace's female family members and flee immediately, he arranged for a dozen or so skilled soldiers to kill in the nearby mountains and forests.
After several rounds of arrows, the men in black who were ambushing in the forest rushed out... Their goal was to kill people, and of course they would not hide in the dark and let the Zhenbei Palace's carriage escape.
Seeing the men in black surrounding them, Xiao Dingcheng immediately led his men to greet them, buying time for the female family members behind to escape.
"Cheng'er, Cheng'er..." the princess kept shouting, but was hugged tightly by the maid and dragged into the carriage.
"Princess, you can't go out. Going out will distract the prince."
The princess froze suddenly, came to her senses, held back her tears and shouted: "Hurry, make people hurry up, and leave quickly."
She also knew that the sooner the female family members left safely, the sooner her son could escape.
Several carriages drove forward one after another. The assassins were stopped by Xiao Dingcheng. Instead of trying to break out and pursue them, they all besieged Xiao Dingcheng.
Sheng Nuan saw that scene on the carriage frame and immediately realized that the assassins were coming for Xiao Dingcheng, and the purpose of besieging the carriage was to force Xiao Dingcheng to stay behind.
Now, some of the guards were dispersed to escort the female family members, leaving only a few people around Xiao Dingcheng.
Sheng Nuan asked the customer service: "In the original plot, he was alive and well. Shouldn't anything happen today?"
The customer service staff stuttered a bit: "Host, I just checked and learned that the assassination in the original plot was not on this day, so the result is unknown."
Sheng Nuan was suddenly dumbfounded.
In other words, Xiao Dingcheng may not be able to return alive...but if he dies, her mission will be in vain.
Sheng Nuan cursed in a low voice and told the coachman: "Hurry up and send the old lady back, and I will pick up the prince."
Before she finished speaking, she flew out lightly.
At this time, the guards around Xiao Dingcheng had fallen down one after another.
His face turned cold, and he knew in his heart that today's ambush was aimed at him, but... why?
Why would someone want to kill him? And he used a siege crossbow. Who is so crazy?
"Your Majesty, leave quickly..."
The only five remaining guards already considered death and urged Xiao Dingcheng to leave in unison.
But now it was no longer whether he wanted to leave, but whether he could leave...
The man in black launched a new round of attacks, and five guards were injured one after another. Xiao Dingcheng was unable to fight with his four fists. He was caught off guard, and a long sword stabbed him from behind... By the time he realized it, it was too late to dodge.
He reluctantly turned sideways to avoid the vital point, but just when the sword was about to stab him, a figure swept over from the side and raised his hand to knock the sword away from the assassin's hand.
When he saw the person coming, Xiao Dingcheng was stunned: "Nuan Nuan..."
It's actually Sheng Nuan.
She was still wearing a moon-white complex long dress, but it was already stained with blood. She came to his side with a sword and picked up a man in black with her sword. Then she said quickly: "Husband, leave quickly."
As he said that, he swept the long sword and forced the men in black who were stabbing the three guards back: "Spread out."
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Xiao Dingcheng and flew onto the nearest horse next to her...
The two fled on horseback, and the men in black behind them also dispersed to look for the horses and gave chase.
Xiao Dingcheng was sitting behind Sheng Nuan, with blood pouring out from a bone-deep wound on his chest, but he felt that his heart was soft and hot.
In the situation just now, she actually came back...
He knew that she knew martial arts, but she was a woman after all, and no one would blame her if she left with the other women...but she still came back to him.
Even if he is surrounded by assassins.
There are many stories in the short songs about life and death promises of never leaving each other, but Xiao Dingcheng never believed it.
He never believed that one person would value another person more than his own life. After all, when a person dies, there is nothing... But now he believes it.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far behind...the assassin was chasing him.
Xiao Dingcheng's eyes were a little dark due to blood loss. He realized that the horse could not run fast carrying the two of them... At this moment, Sheng Nuan pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse stopped immediately, and then Xiao Dingcheng was given a hand by Sheng Nuan.
Pull off the horse.
His eyes were filled with confusion, and the next moment, Sheng Nuan took off his robe.
Xiao Dingcheng suddenly realized what she wanted to do and was shocked: "Nuan Nuan..."
"Don't make any noise, I'll be fine by myself."
Sheng Nuan put on Xiao Dingcheng's robe, quickly pulled up his hair, and then pushed him down the short slope next to him: "Husband, hide."
Before she finished speaking, Sheng Nuan got on her horse and left...
Xiao Dingcheng's eyes were red, but he could do nothing. He could only grit his teeth and roll down the hillside without saying a word, hiding himself in the thick grass.
He couldn't let Sheng Nuan's hard work go in vain.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves approached...
"In front, I'm catching up soon."
An assassin shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves galloped past the road above, chasing straight ahead without stopping...
On the other side, on the carriage, Su Lan held Princess Lin'an tightly: "Your Highness, you really can't go."
Su Lan was puzzled and very excited to dissuade her: "Your Highness, that is just a concubine in the palace, you..."
Princess Lin'an lowered her eyes coldly: "Let go."
Su Lan froze suddenly, and then heard her princess say: "She is mine..."
