Chapter 190 "Protect the Prince to the Death!"
After receiving a positive answer, Xiao Jiwu's eyes were filled with heartache. He only hugged the boy tighter and repeatedly assured him: "Don't be afraid, I am here and I won't let anyone hurt you."
Yun Qingshi nodded silently in response, but his heart was actually in turmoil.
He wasn't afraid, he was just uneasy.
And as the carriage continued to move in that direction, his heart became more confused.
After a while, Yun Qingshi finally couldn't help but speak to Xiao Jiwu. He asked anxiously, "Xiao Jiwu, is there any other way to return to the palace?"
He was really uneasy and had an inexplicable bad feeling.
Xiao Jiwu stretched out a hand distressedly to stroke the boy's pale face, shook his head and replied: "No, if you want to go down the mountain, there is only one way."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi pursed his lips and said nothing more.
As Xiao Jiwu finished speaking, Yun Qingshi's heart sank.
He thought, no wonder, no wonder the other party could wait so accurately on the road he had to pass, it seemed that he couldn't avoid it after all.
Even if they turn back today and continue to stay in the temple, as long as the other party continues to guard there, they can still wait for them.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi no longer thought about escaping.
What is coming will eventually come, and what cannot be avoided will eventually be avoided.
Then just face it...
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu picked up the teapot and poured tea to the young man, then patiently comforted him again: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi took a deep breath, nodded, took the cup and drank the tea.
The carriage continued to move forward like that. After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
A sudden gust of wind blew open a corner of the car curtain, and the familiar environment outside fell into Yun Qingshi's eyes.
Yun Qingshi had been to Wugui Cliff twice and was deeply impressed each time, so he was very familiar with this area.
This is about it, he thought.
Thinking of this, somehow, he unconsciously reached out and grabbed Xiao Jiwu's hand.
It was only after he grabbed Xiao Jiwu's hand that he realized his actions.
Yun Qingshi was stunned for a moment and wanted to let go, but as soon as he let go, Xiao Jiwu held his hand again.
Yun Qingshi was stunned again.
Xiao Jiwu frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable after sitting in the carriage for so long?"
Yun Qingshi shook his head pretending to be calm: "It's okay."
But the fact is, he was extremely anxious at one point.
Xiao Jiwu obviously didn't believe it. He could see that the young man was feeling uncomfortable throughout the journey.
The carriage had only been going for two minutes and was still a long way from the palace.
After taking a quick look, Xiao Jiwu decided to return to Gratitude Temple first. It would not be too late to go back tomorrow after Ying Shiyi got better.
But before he could open his mouth, several sharp collision sounds suddenly rang out in the mountains where the only sounds were footsteps and carriages.
It was clearly the sound of sharp metal objects colliding.
Yun Qingshi instantly realized that an assassin had arrived, and Xiao Jiwu also realized something.
At the same time, outside the carriage, Ying Yi, who had blocked the arrow, quickly ordered the surrounding guards: "There is an assassin! Protect the master!"
As soon as Ying Yi finished speaking, the guards quickly gathered and protected the carriage in the middle.
The hidden guards also appeared and protected the surroundings.
The rain of arrows continued to come, and everyone drew their swords to resist.
Changshun and Zhao Mingde also protected the carriage with knives.
Because everyone reacted in time, no arrows successfully hit the carriage.
Ying Yi took the opportunity to step forward and report: "Master, there are assassins, and there seem to be quite a few of them."
Xiao Jiwu responded coldly: "This king knows."
Yun Qingshi silently grabbed the sword at his side.
After the arrows were shot into the air, the assassins appeared one after another and rushed out from the front, back and sides.
Upon seeing this, Yingyi quickly commanded everyone in the palace to go forward and fight.
After hearing the noise outside and no more arrows being shot, Xiao Jiwu also got off the carriage with Yun Qingshi.
There was a loud noise of fighting and killing. Yun Qingshi got off the carriage, but his heart sank in an instant.
How could this happen?
It was agreed that there would be hundreds of people, but this dark mass of assassins is definitely more than a hundred, probably two or three hundred.
But there are less than forty of them...
Why? Why did more assassins come after he asked Xiao Jiwu to increase his defense?
Yun Qingshi finally understood where his uneasiness came from.
How could this be resisted...
There was nowhere to run. This place was close to a cliff on one side, a bare mountain on the other, and killers on the other two sides.
The other party probably saw this point clearly and chose to attack here.
Yun Qingshi's heart sank to the bottom, and the next moment, he drew out the sword in his hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu grabbed Yun Qingshi's wrist and frowned, asking, "What are you going to do?"
Yun Qingshi looked into Xiao Jiwu's eyes and replied calmly: "Nothing, I won't run around."
Xiao Jiwu felt relieved after hearing the promise, and slowly let go of Yun Qingshi's wrist.
Yun Qingshi looked around again, and suddenly felt a chill on his face.
Confused, he looked up and found that it was snowing.
It's snowing...
That's quite dramatic...
As for Ying Yi, after realizing the situation was unfavorable, he thought for a moment and quickly returned to Xiao Jiwu's side and suggested in a deep voice, "Master, there are too many assassins coming. I'm afraid our people will be unable to resist them. I will lead my men to fight our way out. Master, take Eleven and leave first!"
Yun Qingshi immediately shook his head and refused: "No, that won't work!"
Not to mention whether it can succeed or not, doing so is basically paving the way with other people's lives.
Xiao Jiwu immediately rejected Ying Yi's proposal: "Don't act rashly. There are too many assassins and you can't kill them all. Send out a signal, fight and retreat, and wait for reinforcements."
After the young man expressed his concerns that day, he not only increased the defenses around him, but also arranged a team of people at the foot of the mountain in advance.
As long as we delay for two quarters of an hour, Ying Er will arrive with reinforcements.
At this moment, Xiao Jiwu suddenly felt extremely grateful for his previous decision.
Ying Yi was still worried when he heard the voice, but as a secret guard he could only obey his master's orders. He quickly responded in a deep voice, "Yes."
Yingyi then released a flare.
Then he went back to the front and fought with the assassin.
As Ying Yi is the leader of the Shadow Guards, his martial arts skills are naturally not to be underestimated. Wherever he goes, the assassins fall one by one.
After killing another assassin, Ying Yi spoke loudly: "Brothers, since we have already died for our master, today, we swear to protect the prince with our lives!"
The surrounding secret guards heard the voice and echoed loudly without hesitation: "We swear to protect the prince to the death!"
"Protect the prince until death!"
"Protect the prince until death!"
