Chapter 86 Thinking about it every moment
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of men in black jumped out of the water, holding long swords and stabbing at Xiao Yuheng.
Shen Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold. She took out the golden whip from her sleeve and swung it swiftly. The whip came out as fast as a snake coming out of a cave, with a whistling sound.
The man in black felt his hands go empty, as she easily wielded more than ten large swords.
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, she shook her wrist again and used a move to sweep away thousands of troops. With a few crisp "pa pa" sounds, a row of men in black were instantly torn to pieces, blood splattered, and they fell back into the water screaming.
The whole process happened extremely quickly. Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Second Director is really amazing."
"That's because the prince chose a good whip!"
Shen Yue raised her chin proudly and swung the whip again, sometimes whipping, sometimes hooking and swinging, the whip shadow flashing so fast that it was dazzling.
Some of the men in black had their hands and feet cut off in an instant, some were sent flying far away, and some were gutted, with blood all over their faces. My mother couldn't recognize them.
At this time, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from the woods not far away, mixed with screams.
The shadow guards and the assassins were fighting each other, and the heavy black shadows mixed with the cold light of swords overlapped dimly in the night.
"It seems that the enemy is quite numerous and is coming in two groups. Your Highness, follow me!"
Xiao Yuheng was leaning against a tree trunk watching the fun when he was suddenly picked up by a soft little hand. With a tap of his toes, the two of them flew to the top of the tree.
The remaining men in black were about to fly after him when they were stopped by shadow guards coming from a distance.
Swords collided and sparks flew.
The shadow guards cooperated well, sometimes fighting alone, sometimes forming a siege array, and soon there were only a few men in black left.
Shen Yue, who was on the top of the tree, kept observing the battle situation in the distance, while the man beside her kept his eyes on her face.
"Second Director, aren't you going to help?"
"No, my first priority is to protect the prince." Shen Yue responded, but her eyes did not move away.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Yuheng followed her gaze and saw that it was indeed the direction of the box.
"Have you seen the brocade box?"
"Yes. The prince's brocade box is so important that it shouldn't be placed in a box. I'd better bring it here!"
As she spoke, Shen Yue was about to get down from the tree, but the man pulled her back.
"Who just said that the first priority is to protect the king?"
“…”
Shen Yue glanced at him speechlessly, "Isn't Your Highness alright now? We've almost killed all the assassins here. If anyone else comes, Your Highness can just pierce them with the little ice spikes."
"No, this king requires your protection."
His tone sounded like he was playing tricks, and Shen Yue couldn't persuade him, so she had to stay where she was.
"Then Your Highness, could you please take your hands away? It's weird for two men to hug each other!"
After hearing what she said, Xiao Yuheng hesitated for a moment, frowned, and let go of her hand.
Is it strange? It does sound a bit strange.
But if that person is Shen Er, he likes it very much.
He wanted to hold him, every moment.
Seeing that Shen Yue was still concentrating on looking into the distance, a slight sense of loss welled up in his heart. He maliciously gathered an internal force in his palm and quietly rushed towards the branch under his feet.
As the branch trembled violently, Shen Yue screamed and quickly wrapped her arms around his waist.
Through the thin robe, she felt his slender and well-defined waistline, raised her head and smiled embarrassedly.
The man was already overjoyed in his heart, but his face looked serious.
"Second Director, it does seem a little strange for two men to be hugging each other."
"Is it strange?" Shen Yue chuckled, "I don't think it's strange, I think it's great."
The man then secretly raised the corner of his mouth: "In that case, then this king will reluctantly do it..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yue shouted to the distance: "Stop!"
Then, the whole person flew away with a "whoosh".
Xiao Yuheng was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He gritted his teeth and flew to catch up.
In the woods, two dark shadows were running one after the other in the distance, while Shen Yue and Xiao Yuheng were following them from a distance, stepping on the treetops, trying to shorten the distance as much as possible.
Suddenly, the figure in front flashed and disappeared behind the tree trunk in the blink of an eye. Shen Yue said to herself that something was wrong and quickly got down from the tree.
The dark night enveloped the sky, almost swallowing up all the light, leaving only a hazy and chaotic fog. The surroundings were silent, with only the occasional crow's cry or two, revealing a bit of eeriness.
Shen Yue quickly shuttled through the forest, searching, but could not find the two figures. At this moment, her wrist was held by a warm big hand.
"Come with me."
Then, “Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——”
Xiao Yuheng's body was as fast as lightning and his legs were as fast as the wind. In just a few blinks of an eye, he took her to search the surroundings thoroughly.
Finally, they found the traces of the two people behind a thick tree trunk.
One of them was lying on the ground, obviously dead, and the other was standing there blankly. When he heard footsteps, he turned around in a daze.
It turned out to be Jiangda.
When Jiang Da saw that the person coming was Xiao Yuheng, he quickly knelt down and clasped his fists.
"Your Highness, I saw someone stealing something from your trunk, so I followed him all the way here. But just as I caught up with him, he... died."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Yuheng looked at him doubtfully, then turned his gaze to the corpse on the ground.
Shen Yue walked forward, took the brocade box from the corpse's hand, and then turned it over.
"Zhao Si? It's actually him."
Seeing that familiar face, Jiang Da seemed more shocked than the other two.
"No wonder I felt that thief's back was so familiar. I never thought it was him... Zhao Si, you are really confused!"
Jiang Da's face was filled with shock and grief. His body, kneeling on the ground, was trembling slightly. His clenched fists turned white, and his eyes gradually turned red, with a faint light in them.
"The prince treats you well, why are you doing this? Alas!"
Shen Yue raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yuheng, then squatted down and patted Jiang Da's shoulder.
"Brother Jiang, I just saw several poison needles stuck in Zhao Si's chest. He must have triggered the mechanism when he opened the brocade box, which is why he died. It's already happened, so don't be too sad. There's no one to take charge of the situation by the river right now, so we have to hurry back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Da wiped his eyes and stood up.
"Brother Shen is right, Your Majesty, let's go back first."
"Alright." Xiao Yuheng looked at the body on the ground. "Chen Er is small and can't carry heavy objects. You can bring Zhao Si's body back."
"yes."
Jiang Da carried Zhao Si's body and suddenly remembered something. He frowned slightly and said to Xiao Yuheng:
"Your Highness, Zhao Si went to such great lengths to steal this brocade box. I think it must contain something very important. Your Highness, please check it out!"
Xiao Yuheng's eyebrows moved, he looked at him for a moment, and nodded, "Okay."
Then he took the brocade box from Shen Yue's hand, opened it, took a look, and closed it again.
“Nothing is lost, don’t worry, Shen Er, put the box away.”
"yes."
Shen Yue took the box calmly, but was confused in her heart.
Xiao Yuheng's movements were very quick just now, but she could see clearly that the brocade box was clearly empty.
