Chapter 51 Assassination
He had just made up his mind yesterday, and today he was going to break his appointment with the little princess. Chu Mo felt very upset when he thought of this.
He stood in front of her gate, hesitating.
Suddenly, the courtyard door was opened, and a familiar figure jumped into sight. Chu Mo smiled unconsciously, without saying a word, just looking at her from afar.
Jing Xuan keenly noticed the sight, followed the direction, her eyes immediately lit up, and she walked away slowly with her dress in hand: "Good morning~"
Chu Mo knew that the little princess was in a good mood.
Whenever she was in a good mood, the tail end of her voice would be drawn out, her voice soft and she would inadvertently act coquettishly.
At the same time, he also knew why the little princess was so happy.
Sure enough, a soft voice sounded, Jing Xuan tilted her head, a little proud: "I got up very early, just worried that you would wait for a long time."
Chu Mo's Adam's apple rolled, but he said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Jing Yu noticed that something was wrong with him and asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to watch a variety show? Although it's still early, you can go shopping or listen to other books first, right?"
"Of course." Chu Mo's voice was hoarse.
Jing Yu narrowed her eyes sharply: "You don't want to go? You want to break the appointment?"
Chu Mo opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
It was visibly that Jing Xuan put away her smile. After a moment, she smiled again with ease: "Is there something important?"
The young man paused and nodded: "Something happened in the military camp."
"Then go quickly." Jing Yu asked anxiously, "What are you waiting for?"
"But, you..."
"Chu Xiaomo! You're so stupid!" Jing Yu pouted: "The military camp matters must have come before me, what are you struggling with?"
Chu Mo was startled, then suddenly smiled: "I was confused."
"Go, go!"
Chu Mo responded and turned to leave.
However, the moment she turned around, the unconcealable frustration in the little girl's eyes still hurt his heart.
He knew that the little princess was looking forward to it, but he could only pretend not to know.
Jing Xuan kept looking at Chu Mo's back until he completely disappeared, then she suddenly dropped her shoulders with a lost look.
"It's okay!" She straightened her back suddenly and said confidently: "Chu Xiaomo is doing serious work! I have to understand him!!"
Having said that, she nodded heavily, turned around and was about to go back to the courtyard.
"My dear."
A gentle voice called her, Jing Yu looked over and smiled: "Sister Li!"
"Sister is going out, do you want to come with me?" Li Qing asked.
Xiao Fu covered her mouth and laughed: "I heard that there are outsiders opening the show today. Miss Chu, don't you want to watch the acrobatics?"
Jing Xuan's eyes lit up: "I want to go!"
Li Qing: "Go pack up and leave in one stick of incense."
"So early?"
"Outsiders start early, so we have to go earlier." Xiao Fu knew all this very well.
Jing Xuan responded happily and became more and more expectant.
It was a sunny day today, but the weather was still cold. She put on a light white cloak, and Chu Xue helped her with her hair, which was soon done.
After one stick of incense, the four of them walked out of the mansion together.
The circus was in the east of the city, and the general's mansion was in the south. They traveled all the way there, and when they arrived at their destination, there were already quite a few spectators.
Jing Yu was surprised: "So many people?"
“This is bad.”
The four of them were all girls, so how could they squeeze with a group of men? They were not very tall, and from their current position they couldn't even see the figure in the middle.
Just as she was worried, a man paused and smiled at Li Qing, "Isn't this Miss Li?"
There was a hint of doubt in Li Qing's eyes, as if he didn't recognize this person, but his smile was still decent and gentle.
The man glanced at Jing Xuan and the other two again, knowing their difficulties, and then laughed heartily: "Don't worry, Miss Li, Lao An will help you."
As he spoke, he pushed forward with his strong and solid body, shouting, "Go, go, make room."
The people around were very dissatisfied. After a sidelong glance, they saw that it was Li Qing and Jing Yun, and then they made room for them without complaint.
Jing Xuan and Li Qing looked at each other, smiled helplessly, then thanked and accepted the gift.
The jugglers were all strong and sturdy with solid bodies. They wielded swords with great power and looked murderous.
They are highly skilled and can do handstands, tightrope walking, juggling jars, spinning plates, etc. They can remain calm even when huge stones are crushed on their chests.
The people present exclaimed in amazement, and Xiao Fu clapped her hands until they were about to break.
But since when, Jing Xuan, who had been in high spirits, stopped talking, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was obviously very satisfied.
Suddenly, a familiar voice with a deep smile came: "Hey, little cousin, what a coincidence."
Jing Xuan glanced to the side and saw that Lao An beside her had been pushed away at some point. The man standing next to her was dressed in red, tall, and always had a smile on his face.
It was Tuoba Xun. He was wearing a mask and staring at Jing Xuan with his eyes lowered.
Jing Xuan raised her eyes to look at him, then continued to watch the acrobatics.
"Is it interesting?" Tuoba Xun asked.
Jing Xuan nodded.
"How does it compare to the ones in the capital?"
Jing Xuan paused, her face expressionless, and said calmly: "The one in the capital is more interesting."
This indifferent look is somewhat similar to Chu Mo.
Tuoba Xun's smile deepened, and he said lazily, "Really? Then I have to go and see."
Jing Yu said nothing and watched the performance intently.
The surroundings were bustling with noise and cheers that lasted for a long time. Xiao Fu's voice was even more lingering, but the two of them remained silent, looking out of place in this environment.
"Speaking of which--" Tuoba Xun dragged out his tone, breaking the silence between the two, and said slowly: "Do you feel strange?"
After a pause, he added, "The jugglers, as well as Old An from before, and a few civilians."
Jing Xuan's eyes suddenly darkened, but she didn't turn to look at him.
"It seems that they have discovered it long ago." Tuoba Xun slightly bent his back and took a few steps closer. Amid the noise, he lowered his voice and said in a volume that only Jing Xuan could hear: "Now, take your little sister away. Remember to be natural and don't be too deliberate."
"What about you?" Jing Yu also lowered her voice.
"Their target is me. If I leave the crowd, they will attack immediately."
"What are you going to do?"
"If I don't leave, they will also fight, so I plan to leave when the fight is about to end and lead this group of people to another place." Tuoba Xun said: "There are too many people now. Once a fight breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jing Xuan was silent, knowing that this was the best solution, and said, "Be careful."
"Let your little maid protect you. If you get hurt, Chu Mo will definitely kill me." Tuoba Xun said jokingly, but his expression was very serious.
"I will protect myself." Jing Yu said in a deep voice.
After she finished speaking, she moved quietly and approached Li Qing: "Sister Li, I don't want to watch it anymore, let's go."
Li Qing agreed: "Okay."
Xiao Fu also heard it beside him. Although she wanted to continue, she knew her limits.
Chu Xue naturally didn't mention it. She would go wherever Jing Yun was.
After making up their minds, the four of them tried to squeeze out of the crowd.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. It was Lao An from before: "Miss Li, you guys don't want to watch it anymore?"
Li Qing smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Lao An is honest, harmless and simple.
Jing Xuan's alarm bells were ringing and she became extremely alert.
Xiao Fu was the first to leave the crowd, followed by Li Qing, then Jing Xuan and Chu Xue.
But just as Jing Xuan was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly shouted -
"careful!!"
As soon as she heard Tuoba Xun's voice, she knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, the sword flashed and stabbed almost close to her slender neck.
If she had not dodged in time, if Chu Xue had not attacked Lao An at the same time, she would have been covered in blood. She could only cover her neck helplessly and watch the blood flow all over the ground.
But even so, there were still many bloodstains on the white and slender neck.
The people at the border were cautious and sensitive by nature, and they all dispersed in a few breaths, and soon they were the only ones left in the huge street.
Tuoba Xun looked coldly at the dozen people who had torn off their disguises, and walked towards Jing Xuan: "Is there anything wrong?"
"no problem."
Tuoba Xun turned his eyes to look at Chu Xue: "Chu Wei?"
Chu Xue ignored him and stared at Lao An, wishing she could tear him into pieces immediately.
Tuoba Xun: "Protect your young lady."
Chu Xue was already doing it without him saying anything.
Li Qing and Xiao Fu were lucky enough not to be surrounded. They stood not far away, looking quite uneasy.
Xiao Fu was so angry that she almost cried: "What should I do??"
Li Qing: "Calm down! The General's Mansion should have received the news by now, and someone will come soon. In addition, the general will also come immediately, so there will be no danger."
Although he spoke calmly, his fingertips kept trembling.
She saw clearly the scene where Jing Xuan was attacked just now. Li Qing's heart trembled when she thought about how she almost got into trouble.
Now all they have to do is wait for reinforcements! !
At the same time, in the military camp and the big tent.
Chen Fu cursed: "What a bunch of idiots! Are they so scared by just a few hundred cavalry?? What are you talking about thousands of cavalry? That's bullshit!!"
Wen Zhixun was also quite surprised: "I haven't fought for too long, my brain is rotten."
"Martial law." Chu Mo said coldly.
"yes!"
Chu Mo was about to speak when his heart suddenly twitched and he frowned fiercely: "No..."
Shen Fu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Chu Mo seemed not to have heard his words, frowning and thinking: "The purpose of bluffing is--"
He suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze like a flash of lightning, shooting towards the city. Instantly, his pupils shrank, and he almost jumped up on the spot, rushing towards the warhorse outside the tent. Only a barely audible word fell behind him -
"My dear!"
The two people in the account didn't hear clearly, but Wen Zhixun understood instantly: "Lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Shen Fu's eyes widened: "Tuoba Xun!"
The two men hurriedly stood up and rode their horses to catch up with Chu Mo.
If something happens to Tuoba Xun inside the Great Wall, the grassland will have enough reason to go to war!
Even if they killed the person themselves! !
But...can they really kill him?
The checkpoint inspection was rigorous and only a dozen people managed to get in with great difficulty.
But a mere dozen people wanted to take action in Dasui, especially in Yunan Pass where Chu Mo was stationed. It was simply... stupid!
Tuoba Xun said coldly: "Your master... is so stupid that I can't bear to look at him."
Lao An... no, it should be Wu Qi'an who wiped the blood off the sword, licked the blood off the fingertips with his dark red tongue, his eyes full of excitement: "So sweet! So sweet!!"
He stared at Jing Yu and laughed pervertedly: "Your blood is so sweet!!"
Jing Xuan: “…”
She was speechless and disgusted.
"Chu Mo's cousin!" Wu Qi'an said word by word: "I will definitely kill you and eat you up bite by bite!"
Jing Xuan suddenly felt a chill, but at this moment, her thoughts were still wandering. She thought: Sure enough, Chu Mo is not the only pervert who eats cats.
Wu Qi'an's words made Tuoba Xun and Chu Xue's faces suddenly darken, and murderous aura surged in their bodies, and they were furious.
There was no need to hold back, and almost instantly, the two sides started fighting.
Tuoba Xun no longer held the folding fan. He quickly and decisively broke one man's neck, picked up his weapon, and rushed straight towards the enemy.
When holding a folding fan, he looks like a romantic and playboy, and when holding a sharp knife, he looks like a fearless warrior.
Every move was merciless, just like chopping cabbage. The enemy's severed limbs fell to the ground, blood flowed like a river, and screams were heard everywhere.
The red dress he wore was dyed darker and darker, and his untied long hair was disheveled. He was like the most ferocious wolf on the grassland, cruel and ruthless, making people shudder.
As Chu Xue is one of the Chu Guards selected from thousands, her martial arts skills should not be underestimated.
She had a cold personality, and her expression did not change at all when she killed people. Her eyes were as cold as a pond, as if what were in front of her were not living people at all, but just a group of corpses.
She was killing people while protecting Jing Xuan.
Compared with these two people, Jing Xuan is much more ordinary.
Her martial arts skills are quite good, so she can handle a one-on-one fight or a fight with two people without any problems, but if several people attack at the same time, she will be unable to resist.
Fortunately, Chu Xue and Tuoba Xun were there, so she was not in much danger.
Soon, figures suddenly appeared and rushed towards the battlefield.
They were dressed in black and were brutal and cruel in their actions, very similar to Chu Xue's - they were the Chu guards hiding in the city.
With their participation, Wuqi'an and his gang soon could no longer make any waves and were all forced to kneel on the ground by the shoulders.
Tuoba Xun walked slowly to his side, leaned down, and sneered: "What on earth is your master thinking? Let you come and die?"
After being captured, Wu Qi'an had kept his head down, but at this moment he slowly raised his eyes and met Tuoba Xun's.
His eyes were small, narrowed, and shifty, but they made Tuoba Xun's heart tremble and he felt uneasy.
The next moment, the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air suddenly rang out. His scalp suddenly went numb and he looked over fiercely.
He saw two arrows coming at him at an extremely fast speed, one was aimed at him, and the other was... Jing Yu!
"careful!!!"
For a moment, a rare look of fear appeared in Tuoba Xun's eyes.
He can dodge, but Jing Xuan can't!
The people of the grassland are a nation on horseback, and they are very good at archery on horseback. It is quite difficult to stop the swooping arrows, and Jing Yu’s martial arts cannot do it!
Chu Xue, who was able to do it, was far away because she had to explain things to Chu Wei and was unable to save Jing Yun in time!
At this moment, Tuoba Xun thought of Chu Mo last night, the young man whose eyes were full of doting smiles when he talked about the little princess.
no! Absolutely not! !
Nothing can happen to her! !
Chu Wenxi couldn't stand it! ! !
All his thoughts flashed through his mind in a split second. He had no time to take care of himself. Like Chu Xue and the others, he ran towards Jing Yu with all his might!
"Miss!!!"
Jing Xuan did not wait quietly for death, even though the arrow was already in front of her.
At this moment, what made her move was not reason, but the instinct for survival!
She couldn't dodge it with her speed, the only slight chance was to stop it with a weapon!
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she thought of a lot of things in an instant, including her father, mother, brother, and... Chu Mo.
[What a pity.] 】
She thought to herself, although she didn't know why she felt regretful.
——"My dear!!!"
A familiar voice came, filled with fear and anger.
Jing Yu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
[Yes, I haven’t had time to look at Chu Xiaomo again…]
