The guard who came to deliver the message was named Zhou, and he was the third in the family. He was a cousin of the same clan as Guard Zhou, and they had been selected together as the bodyguards of the "Sixth Princess" since they were young. After the "Sixth Princess" became the seventh prince, they were also included
He became the personal bodyguard of the seventh prince.
Zhou Weiwei was the commander of the guards, and Zhou Lang also became the captain of the guard team.
Zhou Lang was young, about 20 years old. After entering the boudoir, he did not dare to raise his head and knelt down neatly to salute: "Young man, I have seen Miss Xie San..."
"Call me the seventh prince's concubine." Xie Mingxi interrupted Zhou Lang lightly.
Although she has not formally bowed in court, Xie Mingxi should be the seventh prince's concubine today.
Zhou Lang was stunned for a moment, then quickly changed his words: "Yes, I have met the seventh prince's concubine."
Xie Mingxi's eyes fell on Zhou Lang's face: "Report everything you know truthfully. Do not omit anything, do not exaggerate at will or intentionally deceive."
He didn't deliberately raise his voice, nor did he speak loudly and harshly. However, it conveyed a pressure that made people unable to breathe.
Zhou Lang's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and replied: "Yes, I will never dare to hide anything."
"Today, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is riding on a BMW in his wedding attire, and several princes are accompanying him to welcome the bride. He is also accompanied by several schoolmates and friends, including Young Master Zhao."
"The wedding procession is huge, and there are many ordinary people on both sides of the street watching the fun. However, there are a group of guards in front of His Highness, and nearly a hundred guards follow behind. The idlers cannot get closer than fifty meters to His Highness..."
…
The guards had already received strict orders and were on alert along the way, not daring to relax even a little bit.
Guard Zhou even personally led dozens of guards to closely follow the seventh prince.
The wedding team was chattering and walking at a slow pace. For more than half an hour after leaving the mansion, everything was fine. Seeing that they were still five miles away from Xie's mansion, the guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a boy who was only five or six years old was accidentally squeezed and fell onto the road. The guards who were clearing the way were extremely skilled in riding and managed to avoid it with great difficulty.
The boy was so frightened that he cried loudly. Among the people on both sides of the street, there were no parents of the boy. The procession to welcome the bride had to stop for a moment, and one of the guards picked up the boy and put him on the roadside.
Sheng Hong, who was dressed in wedding clothes, suddenly felt something strange. His sharp eyes quickly glanced around.
Changes occur in an instant.
A dark sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the teahouse a hundred meters away.
The sharp arrow came very quickly, far faster than the speed that ordinary bows and arrows could achieve. The moment they heard the sound of the arrow piercing the sky, the arrow was already in front of them.
Sheng Hong reacted extremely quickly, and immediately leaned down, and the sharp arrow passed by his hairline with great difficulty. Then, it hit the people who were unable to dodge. Suddenly, someone was hit by the arrow and screamed in agony.
However, this arrow is just the beginning.
Among the people along the way, dozens of dead warriors dressed as ordinary people suddenly appeared. They did not try to assassinate the seventh prince, but took out their hidden sharp weapons and attacked the innocent people around them.
The people were so frightened that something unexpected happened, they screamed and ran away in all directions. For a while, the scene was chaotic.
The guards had to allocate part of their manpower to deal with these dead soldiers first.
Most of the others followed the direction of the arrow.
Several sharp arrows galloped at the same astonishing speed, shooting from different directions. The third prince and others who were close at hand were also horrified, but the several sharp arrows had the same target, and they all shot at Sheng.
Hong. Even with all his efforts, Sheng Hong will be killed!
This is no ordinary bow and arrow!
It is the fastest crossbow with the longest range!
Sheng Hong no longer cared about the BMW on his crotch, and jumped to dodge between the flashes of lightning. The BMW was hit by two arrows in a row, blood spattered, and it fell to the ground with a long hissing cry.
Sheng Hong couldn't avoid it and was hit by an arrow. Fortunately, the arrow did not damage any vital parts and hit his arm.
Although the injury was not too serious, it is always unlucky to see blood on your wedding day.
Sheng Hong could not continue to come to welcome the bride, so he had to order someone to deliver the message, while he rode another fast horse back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
…
Zhou Lang was able to be sent to deliver the message, so he was outstanding. He spoke very eloquently, and in just a few moments, he had already told the whole story: "... among the people watching the excitement on both sides of the street, more than ten people were killed or injured. Your Highness
An arrow hit the arm. The other princes and highnesses were not injured, but they were also quite frightened."
Gu Shanchang was frightened when he heard this, and asked subconsciously: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince's injury is really okay?"
Zhou Lang showed admiration in his eyes: "His Highness dodged more than ten arrows in a row. Until the last arrow, he was shot in the arm. I don't know the severity of the injury, but it is not life-threatening."
His Highness the Seventh Prince's skills are truly astonishing.
There were three dead men hiding in the dark shooting arrows with bows and crossbows. They shot several arrows in succession from three different directions. In total, there were more than ten arrows.
If it were him, Zhou Lang, under such a dense attack of arrows, he would have been shot into a hedgehog long ago.
No, it's not just him. Even the most skilled guards have no chance of survival under such an attack.
His Highness actually avoided more than ten arrows.
This kind of skill is simply appalling!
Xie Jun's rapidly beating heart finally calmed down a bit. He looked at Xie Mingxi and said, "Ming Niang, your highness's injuries are fine. Don't be impatient and wait patiently in the house. If such a big thing happens, the emperor and empress will never ignore it."
Hands, there will definitely be a message to the Xie family. I can't go to the church to get married today, so it doesn't hurt to choose another auspicious day..."
"Can't wait!" Xie Mingxi suddenly said three words, looked up at Xie Jun, and spat out a few words: "Today, we must get married!"
Xie Jun: "..."
Gu Shanchang reacted faster: "Mingxi is right. If you miss today, I'm afraid the marriage will change!"
The reasons are all ready.
It was unlucky to see blood on the day of the wedding, and Xie Mingxi was hit with evil spirits, so she was suspected of being a traitor. Emperor Jianwen could have chosen another lady from a well-known family as the seventh prince's concubine.
Sheng Hong was in a hurry to ride back home, obviously worried about changes in the marriage. He wanted to treat the injury immediately to stop the bleeding, change into a wedding dress and come to welcome the bride!
Xie Jun frowned, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Then what should we do now? We don't know the severity of His Highness's injury. No matter how fast we go, we have to rush back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, have to treat the injury and change clothes, and then come to Xie's Mansion again. At least it will cost a lot of money.
Two or three hours. If I go to worship at that time, I'm afraid I'll miss the auspicious time."
Furthermore, the news that Sheng Hong was assassinated and injured must have reached the palace.
No one can guess how Emperor Jianwen would react when he was angry.
Xie Mingxi looked at Xie Jun and said calmly: "His Royal Highness is injured, it is not appropriate to rush around to greet the bride, lest the injury worsens and the auspicious time is missed. My father called his second uncle and two cousins to take me to the Seventh Prince's Mansion for a ceremony.
