A thunder struck across the night sky, the moonlight was instantly obscured by dark clouds, and a puff of moisture hit my face.
Ximen Hao, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed through his eyes in the dark carriage.
It has been four days since I left the Imperial City, and I have already left the scope of the Imperial City.
In the past four days, except for the last red envelope, it has never been refreshed.
Sure enough, the refresh time is random and the number is random. It has been three days and there is no one.
"Sir! It's going to rain! There's a small town ahead, why don't you take a rest?"
Captain Liu's voice sounded outside.
"Well~ Hurry up and find an inn to rest for the night."
Ximen Hao said lightly.
"Yes, sir."
Captain Liu took the order and sped up.
In order to keep a low profile, Ximen Hao no longer asked them to call him Prince or His Highness, but called him: Young Master.
"Crack!"
It rained as fast as it could, with heavy raindrops falling on the carriage, completely covering up the sound of the carriage and the sound of horse hooves.
The official road became muddy and bumpy as we walked, and the guards and the coachman had already been completely drenched.
Suddenly, an inexplicable crisis appeared in Ximen Hao's heart, and he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword.
"puff!"
There was a sound of a sharp weapon being inserted into the body.
"Well!"
"Plop!" There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and a guard fell off his horse.
"Be careful! There is an assassin!"
Captain Liu's voice sounded, accompanied by the sound of a sword being drawn.
"Fuck Ximen Guang! Master Hao will kill you sooner or later!"
Ximen Hao didn't even have to think about it, the assassin was definitely sent by Ximen Guang.
"Your Majesty, sir, there is an assassin."
Bilian's little face turned pale instantly.
"You stay in the car and don't come out."
Ximen Hao said, pulled out the Qingfeng Sword, and dodged out of the carriage.
The heavy downpour hit me, and I was instantly refreshed, and my head became much clearer.
At this moment, a crossbow arrow shot straight towards the door, bringing with it a harsh whistling sound.
Ximen Hao was already thinking. He tilted his head and with a "pop" sound, a crossbow arrow made of fine steel was shot on the carriage.
"kill!"
There was a loud shout, and two masked men in black rushed over with long knives. At the same time, five or six assassins in black flew out from the roadside and stood with the guards.
Ximen Hao glanced at the two assassins. One was in the middle stage of Qi Condensation! The other was in the early stage of Qi Condensation!
"Ximen Guang, you really think highly of Master Hao! Kill him!"
He knew that either the assassin would die today or he would die!
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Ximen Hao's Qingfeng sword glowed with golden energy.
After the Qi Condensation Period, he can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth outside to make his Haotian Sword Art even sharper.
At the same time, he also used a light yellow shield to increase his defense.
Although it consumes a lot of money, he is attacked from both sides and cannot afford to be careless.
The two assassins' sword skills were very sharp, and they focused on attacking key points. They almost killed Ximen Hao several times.
"die!"
The assassin who was in the early stage of Qi Condensation found the right opportunity and struck Ximen Hao on the head with his sword.
"You die first!"
Ximen Hao suddenly jumped up, and then thrust out the Qingfeng Sword with a domineering aura.
The assassin's heart trembled, and his domineering aura made him suddenly realize that he was killing the eldest prince of the Qing Kingdom!
But this distraction cost him his life.
"puff!"
The sharp sword tip pierced the assassin's chest.
"Well!"
The assassin grunted, and the sword was still an inch away from Ximen Hao's head, but a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Sir, be careful!"
Bi Lian in the car suddenly let out an exclamation.
"grass!"
Ximen Hao's scalp was numb. He actually forgot that there was a stronger assassin and turned around suddenly to block him with his sword.
"when!"
A long knife struck the Qingfeng sword, but then there was a flash of cold light.
"puff!"
A dagger stabbed into Ximen Hao's chest.
"Master!"
"Your Highness!"
"Kill!"
Captain Liu and the three surviving guards went crazy.
If the prince dies, let alone they will die, the nine clans will even be implicated!
Ximen Hao lowered his head and glanced at the dagger on his chest. It hurt. Yes, it hurt very much.
"Mission accomplished~"
"puff!"
The assassin pulled out the dagger and showed a sinister smile.
"It's over~ It's over, you're numb~"
"Crack!"
Ximen Hao directly put the only puppet talisman on the opponent's body. His heart moved, and the assassin was stunned.
[Ding! The puppet talisman was used successfully!]
"Kill them!"
Ximen Hao pointed at the assassins who were besieging the guards, his voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell.
"kill!"
The assassin didn't even think about it and rushed forward with a long knife.
"Master! Master, are you okay?"
Bi Lian ran to Ximen Hao's side, looked at the man's bleeding chest, and cried anxiously.
If the eldest prince dies and the assassin doesn't kill her, Your Majesty won't be able to spare her.
Ximen Hao did not speak, but took out the small bottle containing the healing pill, poured out a third-grade healing pill, and threw it into his mouth.
The elixir melted in his mouth, and a warm current instantly surged through his body. At the same time, a burst of white light gathered in his chest and began to repair his wounds.
"No! Third-grade elixir! Kill him!"
An assassin noticed this side and turned around to charge.
At this moment, the assassin leader who was in the middle stage of Qi Condensation had already arrived in front of the man, and swung his sword at the other person who was unprepared.
"puff!"
A stream of blood spurted out, and the assassin's head flew up.
The remaining five assassins were stunned for a moment, not understanding why their heads rebelled.
"kill!"
Captain Liu took the opportunity to kill an assassin with a knife, and the other guards also reacted and began to attack.
Together with the controlled assassin leader, the remaining five assassins were eventually killed.
But he never understood until his death why his brother, whom he had been with day and night, suddenly rebelled.
Ximen Hao watched all the assassins being eliminated, his body swayed, and he was supported by Bilian.
However, the time for the puppet talisman was about to come, and my heart moved again.
"Qiang!"
The assassin leader pulled out his dagger, stabbed it into his chest without hesitation, and fell to the ground on his back.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the mud on the ground flowed to the roadside with a lot of blood.
Captain Liu and the three scarred guards watched all this blankly. The assassin's betrayal and assassination were simply too weird.
"What are you doing standing still! Protect the young master! He is injured!"
Bilian shouted to the guard.
"Pa bang bang..."
Captain Liu and others rushed over on the muddy ground.
"It's okay, get out of here first, quickly!"
Ximen Hao waved his hand. Everyone was injured now. It was not a good place to stay for a long time. He was quickly helped by Bi Lian and got into the carriage.
"By the way, Captain Liu, give the medicine to the brothers."
Ximen Hao took out five third-grade healing pills and put them into the storage compartment, threw the medicine bottle to Captain Liu, and then lowered the curtain.
Captain Liu didn't say much, and quickly took out one and ate it himself, then gave it to three seriously injured guards, and then got on the war horse with the help of the medicine.
After taking the elixir, the three guards who were born on the ninth level immediately felt that all the consumption and injuries began to recover, and they were overjoyed.
They have never taken this kind of third-grade elixir in their lives.
