Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 340: Survival from a dead situation (9)

The hunting wind in the grassland blew away his suppressed cries, which was heartbreaking to hear. Now he is not an emperor, but an older brother who is heartbroken for his brother.

"Your Majesty! Take His Royal Highness Prince Rui and leave quickly. We'll stop the assassins behind!" Ouyang Ning said through gritted teeth. He led a horse, handed the reins to Xiao Fengming, and turned to look at the seven or eight guards who had survived the disaster. He said: "Swear to protect the emperor to the death!"

"Protect the Emperor!" A deep voice sounded, gradually gathering into a torrent, rolling in...

"Fifth brother, I will take you back to the palace!" Xiao Fengming took a deep look at the tired but still loyal face behind him, put Xiao Fengqing on the horse, lowered his head, and said this in his ear.

He got on the horse, turned around and looked into the distance. There was the faint sound of horse hooves on the road in the distance, and another group of assassins were coming! He gritted his teeth, swung his riding crop fiercely, and urged the horse forward.

In the distance, the night becomes darker...

In the camp, Nie Wushuang's tent was brightly lit.

"Empress, it's time to rest." Yang Zhi advised more than once. Nie Wushuang frowned: "Is something going to happen? Why do I feel so heavy and panicked?"

Yang Zhi sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty, if you don't have a good rest, you are naturally flustered. Please rest early."

Nie Wushuang took a long breath: "Okay. If you have any news, you must report it to me."

Yang Zhi quickly agreed. Nie Wushuang then summoned Xia Lan to remove her makeup. She was taking down the Golden Bu Yao when suddenly Yang Zhi came running in with a pale face from outside: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good!"

Nie Wushuang's heart skipped a beat, and the Jinbu Yao in his hand suddenly fell to the ground: "What happened?!"

Yang Zhi quickly handed over the cloth strip in his hand. On it were the four words "Emperor Qin Ci" written hastily in blood.

Nie Wushuang was shocked and couldn't help but stand up: "It's actually... it's true!"

Yang Zhi was also shocked: "Yes, this is simply audacious! His Highness must have been in a hurry, so he ordered someone to send this message in a hurry."

Nie Wushuang paced back and forth hurriedly in the tent, her wide skirt dragging on the ground, the candlelight flickering on and off, illuminating her charming face, making her fair complexion paler.

"What should we do now? Concubine? Do you want to activate His Highness's secret guards?" Yang Zhizhui asked.

Nie Wu unconsciously grasped the corners of his long sleeves with both hands and pondered uncertainly. The atmosphere in the tent was tense, and Nie Wushuang felt something fierce and dangerous in the distance with every step he took.

"Empress?!" Yang Zhi called again.

"You can't call the secret guards! Do you want the secret guards that His Royal Highness Prince Rui has worked so hard to train to be exposed in front of the emperor?" Nie Wushuang asked sharply.

"But..." Yang Zhi was embarrassed: "But the situation is critical now. What if something happens to His Highness..."

"The Emperor is still with His Highness!" Nie Wushuang interrupted him: "The Emperor has been warned by this palace, and the Emperor will definitely be prepared!"

Yang Zhi fell silent. After waiting in front of the emperor for so long, he knew that Xiao Fengming was not an imprudent person, but what should he do with the help information in his hand? Should I ignore it?

"Take me to see King Cheng!" Nie Wushuang gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Just in case, we still have to send someone to meet the Emperor and His Highness!"

"Yes!" Yang Zhi's eyes lit up and he responded quickly. Nie Wushuang hurriedly pulled up her hair, changed into casual clothes and came to King Cheng's tent. King Cheng is seventy years old. Although he is old, he is deeply respected by the royal family and his family members. Moreover, he is a decent man. Xiao Fengming also respects him very much and treats him like a father.

The guards in front of King Cheng's tent stopped Nie Wushuang: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has gone to bed. I hope that Concubine Xian will go back to rest. If there is anything, I will report it tomorrow!"

Nie Wushuang's face turned cold: "This matter is so important that you can't afford it! Let me go in!"

The guard in front of the tent just ignored him and looked very scornful. Nie Wushuang became angry, pushed him away and slapped him hard in the face: "Get out of my way! If you delay any longer, I will punish you." One is guilty of contempt for me!"

The noise in front of the tent finally alerted King Cheng. The lights in the tent turned on, and an old voice sounded: "Who is making the noise outside?"

Nie Wushuang quickly pushed the guard aside and broke in. In the tent, King Cheng was wearing a middle coat and an outer robe. He was being helped by his chamberlain to sit down. When he saw Nie Wushuang barging in, he raised his eyelids and said, "You are..."

"My concubine, the Concubine Xian, pays homage to His Highness King Cheng. Your Highness, Your Majesty, the Emperor and His Highness Prince Rui encountered the Qin assassin while hunting! I hope His Highness King Cheng will send troops to rescue him!" Nie Wushuang knelt down and quickly explained his purpose.

The veins on King Cheng's forehead trembled, and a flash of light flashed in his old eyes. He looked at Nie Wushuang kneeling in front of him with half suspicion and half shock: "Is this serious?"

"Of course it's true!" Nie Wushuang took out the cloth from her arms and handed it over: "This is a distress message from the people around the emperor!" She concealed the source of the message and said vaguely.

King Cheng took a look, stood up and paced back and forth in the tent. He pondered for a while: "But when the emperor went hunting this time, he told me that he brought a flag guard battalion of three thousand soldiers to escort him. No matter how powerful the Qin State was, they would not be able to harm the emperor in the midst of thousands of troops. One point."

Nie Wushuang was halfway relieved, and she knew that Xiao Fengming must be prepared. Three thousand soldiers from the flag-protecting battalion are enough to keep the troops safe.

"That's good..." Nie Wushuang took a long breath and sat softly on the ground.

"Concubine Xian, please get up." King Cheng softened slightly and ordered someone to bring her a chair. Nie Wushuang sat down, his face still uneasy: "But

...His Royal Highness King Cheng, should you send someone to check, in case..."

King Cheng hesitated, and after a while he said: "Okay, I will send another thousand people to greet you. If nothing happens, that's fine. If something happens, I can rescue you."

Nie Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, His Highness King Cheng!"

King Cheng issued an order for the guards in the camp to dispatch a thousand soldiers and horses to search and investigate in the direction of the imperial driver's hunting. This matter was related to the safety of the emperor. King Cheng was afraid of causing unnecessary panic in the camp, so he issued a silence order in the army. A thousand soldiers and horses quickly gathered and set out overnight to find the emperor's wife and chariot.

After King Cheng finished all this, he looked at Nie Wushuang who looked tired and sighed: "I have heard all kinds of rumors about Concubine Xian for a long time, and thought that the emperor's title of Concubine Xian was not worthy of the truth. Now it seems that the emperor was not wrong. people."

In the palace, Nie Wushuang was used to being jealous and discussed by the palace people. In the Yingguo royal family, she was often treated coldly by the royal family members. Now when she heard the praise from the oldest member of the royal family, her usually calm face could not bear it. A blush appeared all over.

"Your Highness King Cheng is so complimentary!" Nie Wushuang bowed down.

King Cheng laughed: "You are very good. No wonder the emperor likes you."

Nie Wushuang was startled and lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with sadness...

The horses were galloping in the grassland, and Xiao Fengming mechanically beat the horses under him. He ran for who knows how long. It seemed that the road in front of him was as long as a lifetime, and the vast darkness made it easy for people to lose their way.

He glanced at Xiao Fengqing, who was leaning against him. He had passed out, and he didn't know what happened to his injuries. Xiao Fengming thought and looked back. The pursuers behind him were gone. Also missing were the nine loyal warriors who volunteered to stay behind to stop the assassin.

He stopped his horse, which, like the man, was already tired. He couldn't run any longer. If he ran any longer, the horse would be exhausted. At that time, it would be impossible for him to take Xiao Fengqing out of the grassland on his own.

Xiao Fengming dismounted and placed the unconscious Xiao Fengqing on the ground. Xiao Fengqing was seriously injured and unconscious. Xiao Fengming endured the anxiety in his heart and took the water bag on the horse to feed him water. He also took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out a few pills. This is a nourishing and refreshing pill prepared by Taiyuan Hospital. He never liked this kind of pill, but at this moment he hoped that the only pill on his body could make Xiao Fengqing wake up for a moment.

After drinking water and swallowing the pills, Xiao Fengqing woke up half a day later. He opened his eyes and looked at the outline in the darkness, and it took half a day to recognize Xiao Fengming.

"Third... Third brother... Why didn't you leave?" He leaned against him and said with difficulty.

"How could I leave you alone!" Xiao Fengming looked at the end of the night warily. If there was any trouble, he would immediately hide with Xiao Fengqing. At this time, he had already run more than half the distance, surrounded by dense forests. , if there is a situation, hide in the dense forest, it will not be so easy for the assassin to find them again.

Xiao Fengqing moved her wrist and felt severe pain in the meridians all over her body. He took a breath and asked, "Third brother... what time is it?"

Xiao Fengming sat next to him and took a sip of water: "I don't know, maybe the ugly period has passed..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and the water bag in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Xiao Fengqing was about to speak, but turned around and saw Xiao Fengming motionless. She quickly asked: "Third brother... what's wrong with you?"

It took Xiao Fengming a long time to pick up the water bag. He looked to the northwest and said in a deep voice: "Who is the leader of the Flag Guarding Camp? If my guess is correct, the Flag Guarding Camp has not come to rescue you for a long time... I'm afraid..."

What are you afraid of? ! Xiao Fengqing was shocked and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Fengming. Both of them were silent, eerily silent.

Originally, the three thousand flag guarding battalion should be ready to come to the rescue when Xiao Fengming sent out the fireworks signal, and the flag guarding battalions were all light cavalry, one in a hundred. It would be easy to go back and forth a thousand miles in one day, but now after so long, actually I didn’t hear any sound of an army galloping along the way!
