The thunder in the distance became louder and louder, and it took a while before I heard that it was really not thunder, but the sound of horseshoes. The sound of horseshoes coming from all directions seemed to be overwhelming. Sweeping towards this small Mingyufang, it was like floods on all sides, one wave after another, one wave after another, and it came straight here. I have never heard such a intensive hoof sound. Even when Chen Bing fought on our grassland, Daddy tuned up the people and charged, the momentum was not as great. At first I could faintly hear the exclamation of people in Mingyufang, and the noise of the front building. In the end, I felt that even the surrounding rooms were shaking slightly, and the ash on the dougong fell down. What was in front of the building? The sound is inaudible, only this hoof sound is like the most terrifying tide, surging in endlessly, like the most terrible hurricane in the desert, sweeping in with the dust of the sky, everything between heaven and earth Everything could not escape, and was drowned in this terrible sound.

The assassin didn't speak, but the cross sword forced his Majesty back, step by step.

No one dared to act rashly, but his Majesty suddenly shouted: "Zeng Xian! Kill the assassin!"

The headed man in black was originally called Zeng Xian. I have heard of this name. I know that it is a famous commander in the Shenwu Army. His martial arts are outstanding. It is said that he once defeated a hundred people. Zeng Xian's shoulders were also dripping blood. At this time, the assassin's sword was shining coldly and extremely bitterly. It was standing on your majesty's throat. The difference was not too big, and my vest was full of cold sweat. Li Chengyin suddenly smiled and said to the assassin: "Do you know who I am?"

The assassin's face was covered with a cloth scarf, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and there was no expression in his eyes, but he looked at Li Chengyin coldly.

"Now that the Shenwu Army has arrived, the outside must have been surrounded by iron buckets. If you are stubbornly resisting, you will inevitably end up with arrows. If you put down your sword at this time, I will allow you not to die."

The assassin's eyes were burning, as if hesitated. Li Chengyin said again: "If you don't rest assured, you take me as a hostage. After you are safe, you can let me come back."

My palm was sweating, and even the sword in my hand felt a bit slippery. I was full of heart and stood up from behind him: "If you want to be, let me be a hostage. Anyway, I am a weak woman. You are not afraid of me playing tricks. When you feel safe, let me come back."

Li Chengyin glared at me fiercely, and I glared back unceremoniously. I know what he meant, and I also know that this is not play, but at the moment, I don't want to watch the assassin take him hostage.

The assassin still did not answer, but stood coldly holding the sword. Zeng Xian and others did not dare to persecute too much, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Li Chengyin stood there without moving, but the vigorous voice outside seemed to be quiet again. After a long time, there were footsteps in the corridor and someone was walking over.

My vest is full of cold sweat, and I wonder if it’s an assassin’s comrade. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Li Chengyin suddenly reached out and held my hand, his palm was hot, but I was strangely calm. Maybe it’s just because you know he’s by my side, what if it’s dangerous? Just die! I suddenly became proud. But a lot of people came in. The headed person wore silver armor. Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, they were slightly astonished, but they knelt down and bowed very calmly. The armor on his body was sonorous, saying: "Chen Yinwei is late for help, please forgive me."

"Get up." Although your Majesty has the assassin's sword on his neck, his voice is very calm, "The whole city is ordered to be under martial law and nine doors are closed."

"Yes!"

"The Shenwu Army will join the Habayashi Army of the East Palace, close the city and check the Assassin's party!"

"Yes!"

"Don't leak the news, so as not to disturb the people."

"Yes!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Yin Wei did not even pay attention to the salute, and immediately quit. I heard him whisper several words in the corridor, and then the rapid footsteps approached and far away, and several people rushed out. After a while, he came in again and said: "Please return to the East Palace to calm the people. The minister will clean up here."

Li Chengyin shook his head and looked at the assassin with piercing eyes: "Let go of your father, and I will take you as a hostage." His hand was still holding my hand, and I shouted: "No! Me Hostage!"

Li Chengyin turned his head and gave me a vicious look: "Shut up!"

He quarreled with me before, but he has never been so vicious. Although I was afraid, I still mustered the courage to speak to the assassin loudly: "Speaking of dignity, I am more dignified than these two men. Don’t look at them as the emperor and the prince. But when it comes to importance, I’m no better than me. Since you are an assassin, you must know that I am not only the prince of the dynasty, but also the princess of Xiliang. I am married to Li Chengyin for the good of the two nations forever. Although you have held your majesty, but your majesty’s temperament Resilience, you will not be threatened by you, and you will definitely force His Royal Highness and these Divine Martial Army to smash your body immediately. Even if you are dying to assassinate your Majesty with rebelliousness, it will be a big deal for the Prince to take the throne. You will have nothing but one death. If you take His Majesty as a hostage, your Majesty has more than a dozen sons. His Majesty will not be under your coercion. You must be forced to smash your corpse immediately before your Majesty. Your Majesty will set up another prince. Apart from one death, you will also Nothing else. But I am different. I am not only the prince, but also the princess of Xiliang. If I die, Xiliang will inevitably turn against the whole country. The two countries are at war, and the lives are overwhelmed, so your majesty and your majesty are absolutely extinct. You won’t let me die. If you take me as a hostage, you can guarantee your peace and safety and you can retreat all over."

"Nonsense!" Li Chengyin was furious, "The enemy is now, what are you mixing with here? Come here! Take her back to the East Palace!"

I only fixed my eyes on the assassin: "Think about my words, don’t you?"

I don't know what I said that touched the assassin. After a while, he actually nodded slowly.

I was overjoyed and said: "Let go of your Majesty, I will go with you!"

The assassin looked at me coldly, and finally said: "Come here first." His voice is very strange, it seems that when I first learned the Central Plains Mandarin, there were no ups and downs, and it was unspeakable. But the matter is urgent, I can't think about it, I just bargained with the assassin: "You let go first."

The assassin did not speak any more, but took the sword gently in for another point. Seeing that the thin layer of skin between your majesty’s throat was about to be cut, I had to shout: "Don’t move, I’ll It used to be."

Li Chengyin snatched up to stop me, but I "slashed" at him with a sword, and he had to dodge sideways. I already rushed to the assassin's side a few steps. The assassin grabbed me with one hand, and naturally loosened one hand slightly. At this moment, I didn't know where to "swish" several times, and the arrows were shot at the assassin straight from a height. The assassin's skill is also serious. He twisted his figure at an impossible and strange angle, and swung the sword to chop off those feathers. His Majesty took the opportunity to break away from his control, and I took the sword to assassinate the assassin, but he shot. As fast as a ghost, "swipe" the sword that has knocked down me, and just so slowly, I have opened my arms and pounced on my body. At the moment of the flash of lightning, I have already touched your majesty's body. Push him away.

Your Majesty was pushed back several steps by me. Zeng Xianli grabbed His Majesty's arm and pulled him out of the assassin's sword light. And the assassin's cold fingers had pinched my throat, and his sword was colder than his hand, which immediately lay across my neck.

"Little Maple!"

I heard Li Chengyin call me. I turned my head and saw only his face and the miserable look in his eyes.

I think I will remember his face forever if I die. I know that His Majesty and he will never let the assassins go. I am not that important, and Xiliang is not that important. The set of things I just said, both he and I understood in their hearts, it was a lie.

The Shenwu Army gathered around to protect His Majesty and Li Chengyin. I smiled at Li Chengyin. Although I knew I must be ugly, I still grinned as much as I could. If this is the last time, I don't want to cry, I want him to remember the way I smile.

My lips were wide open, and I said silently: "Let me down."

I know that the Shenwu Army must have laid ambush the archer on all sides. As long as the arrows are all fired, I am not afraid not to shoot the assassin into a hedgehog. This man has such a high level of martial arts, killed so many people, and once again held his Majesty. If he is not removed immediately, it will definitely be a big trouble.

Li Chengyin didn't see my lips at all. His Majesty said in a deep voice: "Don't move rashly!"

I didn't expect your Majesty to give this order. The assassin's Senleng sword was still on my throat. Li Chengyin took a feather arrow from Zeng Xian and said sharply: "If you dare to hurt my wife half a point, I Li Chengyin will smash every inch of your skin to death when he exhausts his life! You let her go immediately, and I allow you to leave safely at this time. You must do what you say, with such an arrow!" Li Chengyin snapped the feather arrow into two pieces with a "click", threw the broken arrow under the assassin's feet, and shouted: "Let the people go!"

The assassin seemed to sneer, and then turned the hilt back and knocked it **** the back of my head. I just felt the darkness before my eyes and fainted.

When I woke up, I was cold and hungry, and my hands were tied, so I couldn't move. It took me a while to remember that the assassin took me as a hostage, and Li Chengyin vowed to let him go. So where am I now? It was dawn now, and all I could see when I opened my eyes were the branches, and the dense pine and cypress covered a large blue sky. I don't know how long I was fainted, and I don't know where the assassin went, let alone where it is.

There was the sound of running water in my ears, and the wind was getting colder and colder, and I was shivering. Although I can't move, I can move my eyes. I can see a withered grass next to my left face, and a pile of dirt and rocks next to my right face. . No matter how far away, I can’t see it. I’m hungry and dizzy. I want to go to the capital to be so big. Even if the Shenwu Army is closed to the city, it will be impossible to find them inch by inch. . If I can't wait for the Shenwu Army to search for it, I will starve to death. That would be really pitiful.

While thinking like this, suddenly a corner robe appeared to my left. I looked at it with slanted eyes for a while, and recognized that it was the robe worn by the masked assassin last night. I didn’t expect that he hadn’t left me to fly away. . Perhaps because of the martial law in the Nine Cities, the Shenwu Army and the Habayashi Army searched too hard, so he took me as an amulet. This man is a man of great martial arts, murderous, and dare to intimidate the emperor, obviously a desperado. Now I am in his hands, I don't know how he will torture me, thinking of this I can't express the fear. But I was afraid to be afraid, and I knew in my heart that it was useless to be afraid, so I had to deceive myself and close my eyes, be frustrated, and go with him if I wanted to kill.

After a long time I didn't hear anything, but suddenly I smelled a tempting fragrance. I wanted to keep my eyes closed, but the fragrance was so tempting, I finally couldn't help but open my eyes secretly. It turned out that there was a pack of yellow mutton next to my face. This kind of thing, let alone in the East Palace, is just normal eating in the street market, but I slept for a day yesterday and didn’t even eat dinner. I don't know how long I have been fainted, and I have been hungry. This package of lamb was placed next to me, and the scent rushed to my nose, which really made me feel so uncomfortable.
