Chapter 176 Who are you?
Su Yu chuckled, and seeing Huo Xingzhi's expression, she said, "Your Highness is acting as if we are parting forever."
Huo Xingzhi held her waist and leaned forward.
"Isn't marching and fighting a battle about separations between life and death?"
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting long."
The next day.
Huo Xingzhi got up very early.
Seeing that Su Yuheng was still sleeping soundly on the couch, he leaned over and pecked her on the forehead, then put on his clothes and went out the door.
Outside the door, Bai Ze rushed over.
"My Lord, what will happen to the princess if we leave?"
Huo Xingzhi glanced into the wing room and said, "She is going to Qin State alone. You send a message to Tianji Pavilion, and have Tianji Pavilion send a message to Qin State Yipinxuan, and have someone secretly assist Heng'er in Qin State."
"If Heng'er loses even a hair, I'll use them to test them."
Bai Ze bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Huo Xingzhi continued, "Also, if Heng'er goes to Qin, have all the secret guards from Prince Li's mansion go with her and make sure they protect the princess."
"Once the border matter is over, I will go and fetch Heng'er back."
"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Ze said, then turned around and made arrangements.
At the hour of Mao, Huo Xingzhi, Prince Rui, and Prince Qi were ready to set out for the frontier.
Under the city wall of Yanjing, Prince Rui sat upright on his horse, looking at Prince Qi beside him, his eyes sweeping over Prince Qi.
He sarcastically said, "What's wrong with Brother Qi? I feel like your steps are strange. Is there something wrong with your body?"
The King of Qi's expression changed. He gripped the reins tightly, gritted his teeth and looked at the King of Rui beside him.
"What does Huaijin mean? My health has always been good, what could be wrong?"
Prince Rui chuckled and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just think it's strange that Prince Qi walks with his legs crossed."
"Since Brother Prince Qi is in good health, that's good. It won't affect the war."
After King Rui finished speaking, he pulled the reins and walked forward.
He turned around and looked at the city wall of Yanjing, and saw Shen Wan in pink standing on the wall, her eyes fixed on his direction.
The girl stood on the city wall, her hair disheveled by the wind, her face full of worry.
Prince Rui felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and thought of the scene between him and Shen Wan in his previous life. He turned the horse's direction with the reins in his hand and rushed down to the city wall.
"Wan'er."
Shen Wan came down from the city wall and hurried to the front of King Rui’s horse.
King Rui stopped his horse and looked at her while sitting on it.
"Wait for me in Yanjing. Don't worry, I will come back soon to marry you."
Shen Wan bit her lip, her eyes slightly moist.
"Huai Jin, you must come back safely."
"Don't worry, I will be safe." Prince Rui pulled the reins and signaled the two maids beside him to send Shen Wan back.
He no longer dared to think about his past life.
He had arranged everything for Shen Wan before leaving.
Soon, three teams of soldiers set out from the city wall of Yanjing.
Prince Rui looked at Huo Xingzhi beside him and asked, "Why don't I see Princess Li?"
Huo Xingzhi pulled the reins, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The little girl is still sleeping, I can't bear to disturb her rest."
"Don't let her come to this kind of farewell scene."
Prince Rui said, "My Royal Brother, you are truly thoughtful. If she wakes up and knows you're gone, how sad she will be."
Huo Xingzhi remained silent.
I tormented Su Yuheng for so long last night because I wanted to let her sleep more today so as not to make her sad.
After the three teams of soldiers left Yanjing, Su Yuheng's carriage caught up with them about quarter of an hour later.
"Your Highness Prince Li, it seems that Princess Li is chasing us."
When the soldier's voice fell, Huo Xing pulled the reins and looked behind him.
Then they saw a carriage rushing towards them.
The girl in the carriage opened the curtain, her eyes red.
"Look, the Queen's sister-in-law is chasing us."
Huo Xingzhi immediately pulled the reins, turned the horse around and walked back.
He stopped the horse and got directly into the carriage.
The girl in the carriage looked at him with red eyes.
"Huo Xingzhi, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
Huo Xingzhi pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Heng'er, you misunderstood."
"I kept you awake for so long last night. I just wanted you to have a good rest."
Su Yuheng pushed him away, bit her thin lips, and looked at him with red eyes.
Seeing Su Yuheng like this, Huo Xingzhi reached out and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Heng'er, don't be like this."
"Don't worry, I won't make you wait for me for another year."
Su Yuheng said, "Huo Xingzhi, I hope you will keep your word."
Huo Xingzhi said: "Don't worry, I will do what I say."
"After I leave for the border, all the guards in Prince Li's Palace will be at your disposal."
Su Yuheng nodded and said, "No matter what happens, remember that someone is waiting for you."
"I hope you can protect yourself and King Rui."
Huo Xingzhi nodded.
After the carriage left the border of Yanjing, Huo Xingzhi got off.
After seeing Su Yuheng's carriage go away, Huo Xingzhi turned around, mounted his horse, and headed to the front of the army.
The King of Qi sat upright on his horse, looking at the King of Rui and Huo Xingzhi with a gloomy gaze, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
As long as they reach Jiajing Pass, Huo Xingzhi and Prince Rui will be dead.
Prince Rui and Huo Xingzhi looked at each other and nodded.
After about four hours, the three teams of soldiers finally arrived at Jiajing Pass.
Jiajing Pass is in a dangerous position and it is getting dark.
Huo Xingzhi, Prince Rui and others felt something was wrong before they even entered Jiajing Pass with their soldiers.
A deputy general pulled the reins and ran to Huo Xingzhi, saying, "Your Highness, the terrain at Jiajing Pass is rugged and it looks like there's an ambush. How about we take a detour?"
King Qi said, "Deputy General Qu, if we take a detour, how long will it take to reach the border? Although the Jiajing Pass is dangerous, it is also a shortcut. How can we take a detour?"
"Besides, who would set up an ambush at Jiajing Pass for no reason?"
Huo Xingzhi looked calmly ahead at the Jiajing Pass.
The Jiajing Pass is very narrow and surrounded by dense forests. There are indeed human figures swaying in the dense forests.
He said in a deep voice: "Brother Prince Qi, what you said is not without reason. According to Prince Qi's wishes, we should pass through Jiajing Pass."
Prince Rui also echoed: "Deputy General Qu, let's do as my brother wishes."
The King of Qi snorted in his heart.
These two idiots, prepare to die.
As soon as Huo Xingzhi, Prince Rui and others led the soldiers into Jiajing Pass, the soldiers took something to plug their ears.
Watching the soldiers' actions, the King of Qi was a little confused. Before he could react, everything around him began to become chaotic.
From inside Jiajing Pass, a faint flute sound was heard.
The sound of the flute makes people dizzy instantly.
Then a group of killers in strange costumes jumped out from the surrounding bushes.
The killers rushed forward with knives in hand.
For a moment, the soldiers were in chaos.
"Your Highness, there's an assassin!"
Huo Xingzhi sat upright on his horse and looked at Deputy General Qu beside him.
"Let the soldiers hold their ground and watch the show."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After Lieutenant General Qu gave the military order, the soldiers covered their ears and continued to move forward.
Behind those killers in strange costumes, another group of killers in black jumped out.
Those killers in black were extremely ruthless and fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, they killed all the assassins in strange clothes with one sword and disappeared at Jiajing Pass.
Seeing this scene, the King of Qi was stunned.
He turned his head and looked at Huo Xingzhi in disbelief.
"The assassin from Tianji Pavilion?"
"Huo Xingzhi, who are you?"
