A lonely city
Chai Heng recalled the scene just now. At that time, Luo Jin wanted to tell him something very much, so he felt that when she wanted him to know something, he could also hear her voice.
Getting her favor is not the only way to hear her voice.
The next day, when the shopkeeper sent the team out, he was particularly polite to Luo Jin. Luo Jin still pretended to be stupid and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I was too soft-hearted yesterday and let those two people into the inn. Fortunately, Your Highness was wise and saw through the bad guys' disguise."
The shopkeeper was confused, "Ah? Don't you know?"
Luo Jin blinked, "Know what?"
The shopkeeper: "..."
It seems that the only unfathomable person is the second prince, and this little palace maid just hit it by accident. But she was too lucky to have caught Liu Shu by accident, wasn't she? She helped the second prince catch such an important person in one go, shouldn't she be rewarded? She
was suddenly envious and jealous.
The convoy set off, and two hours later they were out of the territory of Dongyuan Kingdom, and further ahead was Sand City.
Sand City is an ownerless city with low terrain, easy to attack but difficult to defend, and prone to floods when it rains heavily. Before, both Xiyuan Kingdom and Dongyuan Kingdom wanted to occupy this place, but they found that it was easy to occupy but difficult to defend the city. After a few struggles, no one cared about it anymore, and it became a buffer zone between the two countries by default, and no troops were stationed there again. Because there are no troops, thieves and thieves are rampant here, and all kinds of vicious and evil people gather here.
One hour away from Sand City, you can see some sneaky people outside the city, looking in the direction of the convoy from time to time. Luo Jin could already feel the obvious malice around her in the car, which made her feel uncomfortable.
At this time, the convoy stopped.
The voice of the guard A Xuan rang outside the car, "Your Highness, there is a situation!"
In just a moment, there were several sounds of weapons breaking through the air outside the car, which scared Luo Jin so much that she shrank her neck.
"Hide, don't show up." Chai Heng looked solemn, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
A strong murderous aura could be felt all around, enveloping the entire convoy.
A group of masked assassins rushed towards the convoy from all directions, aiming directly at the carriage that Jiang Ge was riding.
The guards were not panicked, but surrounded the carriage in an orderly manner and fought with the assassins.
Seeing Chai Heng show up, several men in black exchanged glances with each other and rushed towards him in unison.
The guard Ah Xuan stood in front of Chai Heng and blocked him with his sword. He was very strong, and with just one move, he forced several men in black to step back, and they had no way to get close to Chai Heng.
Chai Heng suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you don't want your prince to die, I advise you to stop now. I'll count to three, and if you still don't stop... I'll have someone chop off Jiang Ge's hand!"
When the men in black heard this, they really began to hesitate. They wanted to save people, but they didn't want to hurt him in the process. "
Three!"
Chai Heng walked towards Jiang Ge's carriage calmly. The men in black surrounding him stared blankly, not knowing whether to continue the attack.
"Two!"
Chai Heng raised his hand and made a chopping gesture.
"Retreat!" The leading man in black gritted his teeth, "Let's go!"
Chai Heng snorted coldly and stopped counting.
[I didn't expect him to be so handsome when dealing with the enemies. He calmed them all down in one go. ]
[It should be safe now. Huh... I was so scared. I thought I was going to die! ]
[It seems that being a mascot is not that easy. Don't come to such a dangerous place next time. ]
Although Chai Heng was facing the enemy, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard this voice.
The men in black gathered together in an instant. The leading man in black turned around and said in a deep voice: "Take good care of the prince. If he gets hurt, we... will not let
him go." Chai Heng said coldly: "Don't worry about this."
Suddenly, a man in black called out, "Go, why don't you go? Eh? You don't seem... to be..."
Everyone's eyes turned to the man in black at the end of the team. The
man in black was not in a hurry. He crossed his arms lightly, looked at the man in black who was talking to him with cold eyes, and spat out two words coldly, "Too much talk!"
Without seeing how he moved, the man in black who was talking suddenly widened his eyes. His body was split into three pieces in an instant, and when he fell to the ground, he was still looking at the man in front of him with his mouth open in surprise.
"Who is it!" Several men in black immediately rushed up and swung their swords at the man.
The man shook his body slightly, and the long sword in his hand flashed a few cold lights. In just a moment, several black-clothed men who rushed up were chopped into several pieces by him, and they were even still breathing when they fell down.
"Who... who are you?" The black-clothed man in the lead had cold sweat on his forehead, "What do you want to do?"
"Me?" The man sneered slightly, "Here to kill Jiang Ge's people."
Hearing this, the leader of the black-clothed men was furious, "Kill him!"
"Oh, just you guys?"
Luo Jin quietly got off the carriage and hid behind it. She originally thought that the matter had been resolved, but she didn't expect that such a ruthless character would suddenly appear.
She felt sour in her stomach. She couldn't imagine such a bloody scene at all. The strong smell of blood made her feel like vomiting. Just taking a breath, she looked up again and saw that the group of men in black had all fallen to the ground.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and look behind her to see if there was a place to retreat. Seeing how fierce this man was, those guards might not be able to beat him, so she thought she had to run away in advance.
Chai Heng didn't show any panic, he just ordered in a deep voice, "Form a formation!"
The guards quickly moved to a special formation with the carriage as the core.
Chai Heng stood in the formation and asked loudly: "Your Excellency has great kung fu, I wonder who this master is?"
[He is Yue Qinghai! Yue Qinghai, one of the five greatest masters of the time! ]
[The pervert who likes to chop people into three pieces! It must be him! ]
[Can Chai Heng and his group beat him? He will find us if we run away now, we won't all die here, right? 】
【Why is there such a strong person? He is destroying the balance of the game! 】
Yue Qinghai did not answer, but said coldly: "I am only entrusted by someone to end Jiang Ge's life. You are his enemy, not his friend. There is no need to risk your life for him. Get out of the way. I don't intend to kill anyone from the Chai family."
Chai Hengsi did not retreat, "Senior Yue, although you are a martial artist, the Qingyun Sword Formation is not made of paper. Senior Yue, why don't you give it a try?"
Yue Qinghai frowned. He was obviously a little wary of the Qingyun Sword Formation, and he was also a little surprised that his identity was revealed all of a sudden.
"I didn't expect that the second prince is so knowledgeable at such a young age."
Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the carriage where Luo Jin was hiding, and his figure suddenly shot out like an arrow, swinging his long sword.
A flash of sword light passed by, and the carriage was forcibly split into three pieces in front of Luo Jin. After a series of faint rustling sounds, it scattered all over the ground.
Luo Jin was completely stunned.
"I didn't expect that the Second Prince would have such a refined taste to carry out such an important mission, and would bring a little beauty with him." Yue Qinghai held the long sword and smiled at Luo Jin, "How about asking the Second Prince to choose between the person in the carriage and this little beauty?"
Luo Jin laughed dryly, "I... I'm just a little palace maid, serving people..."
"Is that so?" Yue Qinghai sighed, "Then if I chop this little palace maid into three pieces, I'm sure the Second Prince won't feel bad, right?"
As he spoke, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
"No!" Chai Heng said anxiously.
Luo Jin knew that with her ability, she would be beheaded before she could even see the moment he drew his sword. She also knew that Chai Heng would never exchange a little palace maid like her for someone as important as Jiang Ge. Yue Qinghai didn't care about killing one more little person like her.
She was anxious for a moment and shouted, "Han Erniu!"
Yue Qinghai's face turned fierce in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You...what did you say?"
Luo Jin retreated towards the carriage and said vaguely, "Nothing, but a friend told me about a wanted criminal named Han Erniu, and said that this man had a big birthmark on his back. I wonder if you recognize him..."
"You...shut up!" Yue Qinghai shouted and swung his sword.
The carriage surrounded by the guards exploded in the middle at this moment, and a long sword flew out, blocking Yue Qinghai's sword. Then, a tall figure in green flew out of the car, one hand grabbed Luo Jin's shoulders, holding her in his arms, and the other hand firmly grasped the flying long sword.
Luo Jin touched his heart and felt that his heart was about to jump out.
"Stand back." The tall man whispered.
Luo Jin could see the man's appearance clearly. He was a very tall man, nearly two meters tall. He had delicate eyebrows and handsome features, and there was an obvious scar on one eyelid.
[He Xiao!]
[He is so handsome... He is worthy of being the male protagonist, so strong!]
[Sure enough, he was the one in the car, and he almost died.]
[I said, Liu Shu was knocked down silently at that time, and only He Xiao in Dongyuan Kingdom could kill him in seconds.]
[He must be waiting in the inn, so he must have followed the team. Since he didn't show up, he must be in the carriage. The other three carriages are used for loading goods, so he can only be in this carriage. 】
【But where did Jiang Ge go? Did he stay at the inn? I thought he was in the same car with He Xiao...】
He Xiao was slightly startled, but he had to concentrate on meeting the enemy, and had no time to look back at the little palace maid behind him.
He had found it strange before, why Chai Heng brought a little palace maid in the convoy.
Now he seemed to understand a little.
Yue Qinghai's eyes were full of murderous intent, he stared straight at Luo Jin who was hiding behind He Xiao, wishing he could chop her with a sword.
Luo Jin saw that he had a fierce look in his eyes, but there was no panic in her heart. She was now protected by He Xiao, and was not afraid of him at all, and even made a face at Yue Qinghai provocatively.
Yue Qinghai gritted his teeth and said, "General He, hand over the little maid to me. I will kill her and leave here, and I will never oppose you again!"
He Xiao said, "As a general, it is my duty to protect all the people of Dongyuan. As long as I am here, I will not let Mr. Yue hurt Miss Luo's hair."
Luo Jin was even more proud and shouted provocatively, "Han Erniu! Han Erniu!"
Yue Qinghai was furious. He finally saw what the real version of "a dog relying on the power of others" was. With He Xiao as her backer, she actually dared to bar her teeth at him!
