In front of the canyon, there are 400 soldiers from the Dead Soldier Battalion, and on the opposite side, there are more than 900 martial arts people led by Xiao Chen.

The collision happened faster than expected. Without any unnecessary nonsense, the two groups of people pulled out their weapons one after another when they were still ten meters away. Xue Wuwei took the lead, and then the two sides instantly fought together.

The cry of killing echoed in the canyon, like an elegy from the gods, moving in the sky.

Xiao Chen sat quietly in front of the carriage, watching the battle in front of him intently. The Death Soldier Battalion was indeed one of the two trump cards of King Xunxi. Even if he faced a martial arts master who was twice as strong as himself, he could not move quickly.

They looked defeated, but on the contrary, the four hundred people relied on each other. Whenever someone tried to use their own force to rush into their battle formation, they would always be cut one or two holes by the spears in the hands of the soldiers of the Death Battalion.

The battle situation was tense, and each side suffered casualties. Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. Generally speaking, his side still had the absolute upper hand. Victory seemed to be only a matter of time, but it was this sense of silence when victory was in hand that made Xiao Chen

Chen felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the sound of a piece of gravel falling from the cliff into the valley bottom caught Xiao Chen's attention.

Following the sound, I saw a man in black hanging on the dark cliff with a rope, looking at Xiao Chen with cold eyes. Wu Liang on the side also discovered the man on the cliff.

A look of horror suddenly appeared on the man's face.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain!" Wu Liang shouted towards Xue Wuwei who was rushing to the front of the battlefield: "Xue Wuwei come back quickly, there are assassins!"

When Xue Wuwei heard this, he just turned his head and saw the assassin turning into a phantom in the dark night and rushing towards Xiao Chen.

"Protect the prince!"

Wu Liang shouted loudly and tried his best to block in front of Xiao Chen. Behind Wu Liang, Xiao Chen looked at this scene quietly and smiled without saying a word. He said that the assassination of King Xunxi was impossible.

It's so sloppy.

The assassin's speed was faster than expected. Xue Wuwei didn't even have time to ride back to defend. The figure of the assassin in black had already arrived less than three feet away from Xiao Chen. In the hands of the man in black, a sharp dagger was in the dark night.

Shining brightly, seeing Xiao Chen's life hanging by a thread, at this moment, the car curtain suddenly opened, and a long sword suddenly thrust out, blocking Xiao Chen's fatal sword.

"clang!"

The sound of the collision of steel rang directly in Xiao Chen's ears. The assassin missed a single blow and immediately retreated, disappearing into the darkness again.

Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at the person who made the move, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect that you saved my life in a critical moment!" Xiao Chen looked at Du Yingying holding a long sword and smiled.

Looking at Xiao Chen's playful smile, Du Yingying snorted and said: "Xiao Dandy, don't think that I am trying to save you. This girl said I wanted to kill you, so you can only be killed by me alone. Others want to kill you."

It’s not okay to kill you.”

Looking at Du Yingying who was pouting and arrogant, Xiao Chen didn't say much, he just lowered his head and smiled stupidly. This girl who shouted that she wanted to kill him day and night was really cute.

Suddenly, Ouyang Xu on the side frowned slightly, looked at the dark cliffs around him and said, "My lord, the crisis is not over yet!"

After hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of fear of facing a formidable enemy.

"Hoo ho ho..." Suddenly there was a whimpering sound in the canyon. With the light of the torch, one could vaguely see figures flashing through the darkness. The assassin was indeed still there, and there was more than one person!

At this time, Xue Wuwei also rode back, looking coldly towards the dark corner of the canyon. A look of solemnity appeared on Xue Wuwei's face and he said: "Your Majesty, there are about twelve assassins, and they are not weak!"

Xiao Chen turned to look at Ouyang Xu and said, "Do you want to take action? This may be your best chance at the moment."

Ouyang Xu grinned and suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist. Seeing this, Xue Wuwei pointed the long sword directly at Ouyang Xu and said, "What do you want to do?"

Wu Liang, who was beside Xiao Chen, hurriedly said to Ouyang Xu: "Ouyang Xu, I warn you not to act recklessly. The prince will treat you very well during your stay in the palace."

Ouyang Xu did not speak, but gave Xiao Chen a meaningful smile. Then he looked at Xue Wuwei, who was pointing the sword directly at him, and said, "Twelve people, five are yours and seven are mine!"

"This..." Xue Wuwei was also confused by Ouyang Xu's sudden words. For a moment, he didn't know whether to believe Ouyang Xu. He could only give Xiao Chen a questioning look.

Wu Liang on the side hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, this Ouyang Xu is a person sent by Bai Qi, you can't trust him!"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, then turned to look at Xue Wuwei on the horse and said, "Did you hear that? They want seven. As the first person under my seat, isn't it a bit too embarrassing to only kill five?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words meant that Xiao Chen believed Ouyang Xu in front of him, and Wu Liang suddenly showed a worried look on his face. But Ouyang Xu looked at Xue Wuwei with a provocative smile.

Xue Wuwei, who was born in the army, immediately became anxious and snorted angrily: "How many you kill depends on your ability, not your mouth. You just have to be optimistic, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Xue Wuwei twisted the long knife and rushed into the darkness. Wu Liang looked at Ouyang Xu with a warning look on his face and said: "I tell you, don't play any tricks."

Ignoring Wu Liang's warning, Ouyang Xu held a soft sword and followed him into the night.

Two masters of the true self realm took action, and the outcome was naturally a one-sided massacre. In the darkness, miserable wails could be heard from time to time.

Xiao Chen sat in the carriage, taking a sip of wine by himself, with a playful smile on his face. This time, he finally made the right bet, but so what if he made the wrong bet?

Looking deeper into the darkness, Xiao Chen's smile grew stronger. His backhand had not yet been fully used...

Wu Liang tilted his head to the side, showing a depressed look.

Xiao Chen patted Wu Liang's shoulder and said, "What? You still don't like Ouyang Xu?"

Wu Liang smacked his lips, turned around and let out a long sigh: "I just think that boy is Bai Qi's man and is unreliable. But you trust him so much, Your Majesty. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will fall into that boy's trick."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said: "I understand your concerns, but don't forget my skills." Xiao Chen pointed to his eyes and said: "My eyes are good at seeing people, Ouyang Xu

It is indeed Bai Qi's man, and he also killed my best friend Han Feng, but in the final analysis, he is just his own master, the fault is not his, and you don't have to look at him with prejudices."

A look of surprise appeared on Wu Liang's face and he said: "Then, Your Majesty, Commander Han will not avenge him?"

Xiao Chen raised the wine jar and saluted the night sky and said, "Han Feng, you should understand what I'm thinking, right?"

Wu Liang stared blankly at Xiao Chen in front of him. He suddenly felt that since Xiao Chen returned to Yong'an, he could no longer see through his own prince.

On the top of the mountain, watching Ouyang Xu help Xiao Chen, Linghu Chu looked at Bai Qi with a look of anger on his face.

"General Bai, what do you mean?"

Bai Qi glanced at Linghu Chu in confusion and said, "What does the prince mean by this? I don't quite understand!"

"You..." Linghu Chu glanced at Bai Qi fiercely and said, "My people are about to kill Xiao Chen, but General, that Ouyang Xu you sent out actually helped Xiao Chen deal with my people.

General, don’t you think you need to give me an explanation for Linghu Chu?”

"Explain?" A cold look appeared in Bai Qi's eyes: "What explanation do I, Bai Qi, need to give you, Linghu Chu?"

Looking at Bai Qi's iceberg-like indifferent eyes, Linghu Chu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered his current situation under the eaves. Linghu Chu, who had recovered his senses, bowed his hands to Bai Qi unwillingly and said: "

Linghu Chu was speechless for a moment, and I hope the general will forgive me."

Bai Qi chuckled and said calmly: "Do you really think you can kill Xiao Chen without Ouyang Xu taking action?"

Linghuchu lowered his head, although his face showed dissatisfaction, he did not speak.

Bai Qi continued: "We all thought that Xiao Chen only had five thousand black armors under his command, but from today's perspective, that may not be the case. How can you guarantee that besides the thousands of people below, does Xiao Chen have any other means secretly?"

"Furthermore, I sent Ouyang Xu to Xiao Chen's side just to protect Xiao Chen's safety. You and I both know this. Now that Ouyang Xu is fulfilling his duties, how dare you turn around and question me?"

"But..." Linghu Chu said with an embarrassed look on his face: "General, did you tacitly allow me to take action against Xiao Chen?"

Bai Qi nodded and said: "Yes, I did acquiesce to your actions, but I didn't tell you that I would help you..."

After listening to Bai Qi's words, Linghuchu understood everything in an instant. In Bai Qi's eyes, how could he have any of his own people?

He deliberately let himself and Xiao Chen fight internally. Only the one who wins is qualified to talk to Bai Qi. In Bai Qi's eyes, there is only the word value from beginning to end. If he can't even handle Xiao Chen, what will happen to him?

To Bai Qi, it was naturally of little value. But now that he had openly betrayed Cao Xun, he had no way out. Even if there was a dead end ahead, he could only follow Bai Qi's path to the dark side.

"I understand!" With a long sigh, Linghuchu shook his head gently and took out a yellowed fireworks from his sleeve robe. After hesitating for a long time, Linghuchu slowly opened the fireworks.

"Chirp!"

As a bird chirped in the night sky, a bright firework directly lit up the entire night sky.

Bai Qi turned to look at Lu Lengyan who had taken everything in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "In your opinion, can Linghu Chu succeed?"

With a flower-like smile on his face, Lu Lengyan looked at the bottom of the valley and said:

"Compared to this angry Xunxi King, I am more interested in Prince Xiao."
