Suddenly, killers emerged from all directions, all heading towards Zong Zheng Xiaoting.
The scene in front of him really shocked Zong Zheng Xiaoting. Masked men holding all kinds of weapons rushed towards him. No matter how good his Taekwondo or self-defense skills were, two fists could not defeat four hands, let alone all kinds of weapons.
For a moment, the sounds of swords clashing were endless. Zong Zheng Xiaoting was quickly surrounded and protected. Looking at the chaotic scene, the smell of blood in the air stimulated Zong Zheng Xiaoting's nose. These men in black seemed to be desperate. Relying on their numbers that were more than twice theirs, they disintegrated their defenses step by step in an orderly manner.
No matter how skilled everyone was, they were gradually losing ground and were overwhelmed, not to mention the travel in the past few days. With the addition of two nobles, everyone had to protect themselves and the two princesses, which naturally meant more consideration.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting naturally would not sit and wait for death. She picked up the sword, but frowned because it was too heavy. In the end, she could only hold it in her hand with difficulty. This sword has no eyes, but it can more or less give her some help. At this moment, an arrow flew across the sky, heading towards her accurately. The instinct for survival made Zong Zheng Xiaoting quickly grasp the sword to block it. Although she prevented the arrow from hurting herself, she fell backwards due to inertia.
"Princess!" Qingqing called anxiously.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, just be careful..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting hadn't finished his words when a hole was broken in the small circle surrounding him. At this time, it was scattered in all directions. Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was only concerned about his injuries and dodging, discovered that the place where they could stop to rest was actually close to a cliff!
No, I can't retreat any further! Zong Zheng Xiaoting seemed to have sensed something and stopped retreating, but the torn hole was no longer able to block any further attacks, as the killers swarmed in and went straight for him.
This is a problem!
However, before Zong Zheng Xiaoting realized what was happening, a strong wind swept past him. With a cold face and extremely fast speed, Situ Xunxiao appeared beside him, "Hold on tight to me!"
An imperative tone came out of Situ Xunxiao's mouth. He grabbed Zongzheng Xiaoting's waist without saying a word and blocked the attack from the front with one hand.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was constantly moving with him, saw two arrows flying by. From this angle, if Situ Xunxiao protected himself, he would definitely be injured by the other arrow. These killers were obviously well prepared. I'm afraid these arrows must have been tampered with. The most old-fashioned way is nothing more than poisoning!
The body acted before the mind, and before Zong Zheng Xiaoting could make a judgment, her body had already honestly pushed Situ Xunxiao away and subconsciously fled forward. By the time she realized there was a cliff in front of her, the inertia of her body made it difficult to stop.
The rubble fell one by one on the edge of the cliff, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting could only close her eyes and leave it to fate. However, she was not the only one whose body took precedence over her mind. Before Zong Zheng Xiaoting pushed him away, Situ Xunxiao had already discovered the existence of the flying arrow, but he knew the outcome and chose to protect her, but he never thought that he would be pushed away by Zong Zheng Xiaoting at the critical moment.
The moment Zong Zheng Xiaoting pushed him away, Situ Xunxiao was eager to pull back Zong Zheng Xiaoting's hand, but he never expected that when she pushed him away, she ran away at the same time, trying to avoid the attack of the flying arrow.
When he saw the direction she fled, his heart suddenly tightened and rose to his throat. It was because of this distraction that someone took advantage of him and stabbed him several times!
Zhou Miao, Night Eagle and others saw this and hurried over, but before they got close to their master, they saw their master moving further and further away from them.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting braked suddenly, but still inevitably fell into the air. However, a familiar smell entered his nose the next second, and then he felt a warm embrace, holding him tightly.
This taste!
Situ Xunxiao! Zongzheng Xiaoting opened his eyes in disbelief, "What's wrong with you? I saved you in vain!"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting was filled with inexplicable anger. If he hadn't wanted him to avoid the poisonous arrow, he wouldn't have fallen off the cliff. He followed him down for no apparent reason. If he had known, he would not have saved him.
"You stupid woman, if it weren't for you..." Before he finished speaking, Situ Xunxiao's strength seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and he felt the hand on his waist gradually loosening. Zongzheng Xiaoting was shocked, and then he saw that his arm was bloody and his clothes were torn in several holes.
That's a knife wound!
Judging from Situ Xunxiao's reaction now, I'm afraid the knife is also smeared with poison! Zong Zheng Xiaoting reflexively hugged Situ Xunxiao tightly, staring at the vine not far away, but he couldn't free his other hand to hold the vine.
What bad luck! Zong Zheng Xiaoting cursed secretly. At this moment, Situ Xunxiao was already unconscious. His body was so heavy that he couldn't be held tightly with one hand. If he chose to grab the cane, he would inevitably be abandoned.
But whenever he thought of how he saved him when he was unconscious in Cuiyun Palace, and how he had held him tightly in the critical moment just now, and how he had fought ten enemies alone to protect him in times of danger, and how he had inexplicably jumped down because of him, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could not keep himself out of it and abandon him just to save himself.
Well, let's die. Zong Zheng Xiaoting closed his eyes and hugged Situ Xunxiao tightly, frowning, feeling the pain on his face from the wind from falling, but he didn't dare to open his eyes. He felt closer to death step by step, and every second felt like a year.
At this moment, the captain of the guards Qin Xiao, who heard the news, also hurriedly came with a large group of troops to support. Because the killer's target was directly towards Zong Zheng Xiaoting, only one-third of Situ Xunxiao's guards and Zong Zheng Xiaoting's guards were injured. At this moment, the corpses all over the ground showed how tragic the fierce battle just now was.
Although Situ Xunxiao's guards were brave and good at fighting, some of them had to protect Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei, while the other part had to fight against enemies that were twice as many as theirs. They had no time to take care of anything else and just watched helplessly as their master disregarded his own safety for the sake of Princess Xiaoting and fell off the cliff together in order to capture Princess Xiaoting!
Qin Xiao looked around and saw that his master was nowhere to be seen. He frowned and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"In order to save the princess, I fell down with her!" Nighthawk said to Qinxiao with shame.
For the princess?
The muscles on Qinxiao's face twitched slightly.
