Chapter 150 Don't be nervous, nothing will happen
Hmm, hmm, hmm what?
He's like a little kid. No matter how grown up he is, he still insists on sitting next to others.
Is that childish?
The villain's character is almost completely broken.
Yun Qingshi felt a little helpless, but for him this was no different from someone handing him a pillow when he was sleepy. He immediately leaned comfortably against Xiao Jiwu and closed his eyes.
But oh my god, I can finally go back to the palace.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he began to study his escape plan.
He must be able to think of a foolproof plan!
————
The Huguo Temple is not close to the imperial city, so it is obviously impossible to go back in one day.
In the evening, the group stayed at an inn in Qixia City as requested by Prince Xiao.
The guards had arrived in advance to clear out the inn and rent it out, so today the entire inn only accommodated Prince Xiao and his group.
Yun Qingshi and Xiao Jiwu naturally stayed in the best room.
But in fact, this was not Yun Qingshi's first time to Qixia City. He had been to this city last time when he secretly came out to see a doctor.
There weren't any particularly skilled doctors here, but Yun Qingshi remembered that the sugar-roasted chestnuts from a shop in the west of the city were a delicacy, the best he had ever tasted.
Adhering to the principle of being already here, Yun Qingshi still dragged Prince Xiao there even though it was almost dark. Fortunately, they went not too late and managed to catch up. Yun Qingshi also got to eat the sugar-roasted chestnuts he had been craving for.

The next morning, after breakfast, the team continued their journey.
Yun Qingshi spent half the morning sleeping and another half reading a storybook. In the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.
However, with so many people on the road, it was obviously not suitable to go to a restaurant for a meal, so everyone ate the dry food prepared in advance.
Of course, it was impossible for Yun Qingshi to eat dry food while following Prince Xiao.
They had lunch bought by their secret guards.
But because there were the emperor's men in the team, the two had to eat in the carriage.
After lunch, Yun Qingshi habitually planned to get off the carriage and take a walk for a while.
He really couldn't sit still anymore, his butt was numb from sitting so much.
Prince Xiao was unaware of his plans. Seeing Yun Qingshi about to leave, he stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was really speechless now. Seeing Prince Xiao's appearance as if he couldn't leave him even for a second, he couldn't help but frown and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't make it clear that Xiao Jiwu had no intention of letting go, Yun Qingshi had no choice but to speak: "I'm not going anywhere. I just want to get off the carriage and walk around for a while. I haven't moved all morning and I can't sit still anymore."
After hearing this, Prince Xiao let go of Yun Qingshi's wrist, but then he got out of the car with Yun Qingshi.
Yun Qingshi was too lazy to say anything more. He strolled around for a while and then stood there to enjoy the breeze.
Xiao Jiwu stood in front of the carriage all the time, but his eyes were always on the young man.
Yun Qingshi was almost done with his activities and was about to get on the carriage. He quickly returned to the front of the carriage and said respectfully to Xiao Jiwu, "Your Highness, it's almost time to set off. Please get in the carriage."
After all, we're in front of others, so we have to pretend.
Prince Xiao nodded in agreement.
Yun Qingshi then prepared to help Xiao Jiwu go up first.
But at this moment, suddenly, a strong wind blew.
The moment he realized something was wrong, Yun Qingshi instinctively wanted to avoid it.
At the same time, Xiao Jiwu quickly pulled the young man back half a step.
The next moment, a feather arrow suddenly hit the carriage.
The arrow feathers were still trembling. Yun Qingshi thought that if he had dodged a second later, the arrow would have pierced his head.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
But he also knew that no one would come specifically to assassinate one of his secret guards. He and Xiao Jiwu were closest to each other just now, and the arrow should have been aimed at Xiao Jiwu, but it was not accurate and almost hurt him.
The next moment, Ying Yi also quickly appeared in front of the crowd and ordered sternly: "There is an assassin, protect the prince."
As soon as Ying Yi finished speaking, Ying San and Ying Twelve also appeared and protected Yun Qingshi and Xiao Jiwu in the middle.
And the arrow just now was obviously just the beginning, followed by a rain of arrows.
Several secret guards quickly began to block the arrows.
Zhao Mingde, who had just been beside them, now stood in front of Xiao Jiwu with his arms outstretched, calling out to everyone to protect him: "Quick! Come! Protect the prince!"
The guards of the palace and the people sent by the emperor also came over to protect him.
After shooting for a while, the arrows finally missed, and then the hiding assassins rushed down from the hills on both sides.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Yun Qingshi hurried back to the carriage and took out the two swords.
One is his and the other is Xiao Jiwu's.
He could see that the assassins who came this time were obviously much more powerful than the group of stupid bandits from last time.
There are only so many of them, so it's still very dangerous and we have to be vigilant.
Yun Qingshi quickly handed the sword to Xiao Jiwu: "Prince."
Upon seeing this, Prince Xiao raised his hand to take the sword. Hidden behind his wide sleeves, he gently squeezed Yun Qingshi's palm and whispered a reassuring word: "Don't be nervous, everything will be fine."
Yun Qingshi was startled when he heard this. He quickly avoided Xiao Jiwu's gaze and withdrew his hand.
He didn't expect that Xiao Jiwu could see that he was nervous.
He was indeed nervous. Anyone who was almost pierced through the head would be nervous. Moreover, after traveling here for so long, this was obviously the most dangerous and urgent situation he had ever encountered.
The assassins rushed over quickly, shouting and killing.
Shadow Three and Shadow Twelve were already drawing their bows to shoot the assassins, but there were too many of them and it seemed that their efforts were ineffective.
Yun Qingshi took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and drew his sword.
For the time being, there are guards protecting him on the outside, so it is not the time for him to take action yet.
But it seemed that the assassins had a plan, and soon the guards of the palace were dispersed by them.
There were also a few assassins attacking them.
However, the secret guards were not lured away by them, and no assassin could get close to Xiao Jiwu.
But when he turned around, Yun Qingshi saw a masked assassin suddenly swinging a knife at Zhao Mingde.
Zhao Mingde was holding a knife, but he obviously didn't know any martial arts.
Almost instinctively, Yun Qingshi suddenly raised his sword to block the assassin's knife that was slashing towards Zhao Mingde, and then cut the assassin's throat neatly.
All this happened in an instant, and the assassin was killed with one blow, without him suffering any harm.
But after the assassin's neck was cut, blood splattered out. Yun Qingshi subconsciously closed his eyes to avoid it, but the warm blood still splashed on the side of his face.
The pungent smell of blood was overwhelming, and Yun Qingshi's chest was churning, and he almost couldn't help vomiting.
But he managed to hold it back, but the hand holding the sword was shaking slightly...
