I wanted to go out for a walk and stretch my muscles.
The carriage drove out of the city. In front of it was the moat. The ice on the river surface had melted a little, and the river surface covered with icicles was shining with a cold light in the sunlight.
"Madam, are you going out of the city?" Yu Zhui asked. It was already late, and if they went too far and missed the closing time of the city gate, it would be very troublesome.
Xie Wanyun lifted the curtain and took a breath of the cool air. He felt that the dullness of the past few days was swept away and he felt completely awake.
"Out of town, west," she said briefly.
The moat flows out of the west gate and forms a lake ten miles outside the city. Although it is not large, the lake is surrounded by dense trees and lush grass, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Yuzhui understood what she meant and directly ordered the coachman to speed up.
The horses' hooves clattered as they left the city and galloped westward along the main road.
The forest was faintly visible ahead, and Xie Wanyun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking out. The carriage was moving very fast, and the biting cold wind blew in his face.
Suddenly, her eyes became stern and she frowned slightly.
There seemed to be something unusual in the wind.
It smells like blood.
To dare to rob and kill on the edge of the capital city and at the feet of the emperor is extremely audacious, and he must have a strong backing.
She decided not to get involved in this mess. Just as she was about to tell the driver to turn back, she saw a tall white horse rushing out from the dense woods. The rider was obviously injured, slumped over the horse's back, and staggering.
On his side and behind, there were several riders wearing black armor and holding weapons. They were obviously his protectors.
And from the woods not far away another group of people rushed out, biting the people in front and chasing them closely. The steel knives in their hands reflected the light of snow, so bright that it hurt people's eyes.
There were only a few "whoosh" sounds, and a rain of arrows came. The man running in the front was hit by an arrow, but he still shouted: "Protect the adults!"
The voice was blown away by the cold wind and sent to Xie Wanyun's ears in fragments. She only felt that the voice seemed familiar.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed! That was Chen Zuo's voice!
Chen Zuo is the leader of Yan Suizhi's black-armored guards!
Then the person they are protecting must be Yan Suizhi.
As the horse approached, the rider managed to raise his head. His eyebrows and eyes were striking, his black hair was disheveled, and his snow-white face was stained with blood. Who else could it be but Yan Suizhi?
Yuzhu also saw it and exclaimed, "Madam, that's Lord Yan!"
Xie Wanyun clenched his fists. Should he save her or not?
There were about thirty black-armored guards in the team, but now there were only a few following Yan Suizhi, which showed that the others had been killed.
Two more black-armored guards were shot by arrows and fell off their horses.
As the pursuers got closer, Yan Suizhi's horse suddenly bent its front legs and fell to its knees.
Yan Suizhi immediately rolled to the ground. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground. He was wrapped in a thick sable fur coat, so he was not injured and quickly turned over and stood up.
Chen Zuo had already rushed in front of him, reined in his horse, jumped off, and put him on his own horse.
He shouted, "Sir, hurry up and leave!" while blocking the rain of arrows.
Yan Suizhi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't leave."
The assassins had arrived, spread out, surrounded the two men, and slowly approached.
Yan Suizhi slowly closed his eyes. It seemed he couldn't escape today. He had never feared death. Years ago, when he made that decision, he had already prepared for it.
But he still has a lot of things to do and he is really unwilling to accept it!
Shouldn't Mimi be able to take good care of Jinbai? It's a pity that she hasn't been able to tell Jinbai about her past.
Suddenly, he heard a clear whistle and suddenly opened his eyes!
A slender figure flew over, the long sword in his hand wielding blinding speed. In a flash of cold light, the legs of the assassins' horses were cut off, and they fell to their knees with a wail.
"Wanyun!" Yan Suizhi shouted!
"Thank you, Madam!" Chen Zuo was surprised and delighted.
"Chen Zuo, protect Lord Yan and get on the carriage first!" Xie Wanyun said briefly.
Chen Zuo gritted his teeth, picked up Yan Suizhi and ran away.
