Chapter 41 Sigh

The eldest prince's men had already lost their fighting spirit because of the previous sneak attack and the escape of the road. In addition, the nerves of the escape were always tense, so they were very tired. Anyway, the assassin had to be very relaxed. Although they had also fought, they were in a sneak attack. Therefore, they were much better than the eldest prince's guards in both spirit and condition than the eldest prince's men. The situation was developing in a direction that the eldest prince was unfavorable.

Of course, the eldest prince also saw this situation, but he was not able to change such a situation. At this time, the eldest prince hated his powerlessness. As the prince, his martial arts value was not very high and he could not help. On the contrary, two guards had to be on both sides of him.

Soon, seven or eight of the eldest prince's guards died. On the other hand, only a few of the assassins were slightly injured, and some were able to fight.

The eldest prince looked at it very anxiously and said to the two guards beside him: "You go and help, I don't need your protection here. Now in a crisis, I can protect myself." After that, he pulled out the sword from his waist and signaled the two guards to come forward to help.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were still unmoved and still protected the eldest prince and slowly retreated. Seeing this, the eldest prince immediately said anxiously: "What are you doing? Your Highness has already said that I don't need your protection here, so why don't you go up and help."

At this time, one of the guards said, "Your Highness, my brothers, have promised that even if we die, we will protect His Highness and return to the military camp. We both know that there is still a way to the dock. My brother said that if we encounter obstacles this time, my brothers will escort His Highness. The other people, regardless of their lives or death, will definitely escort His Highness to the military camp at the dock safely."

The eldest prince was slightly stunned after hearing this, and involuntarily looked at the commander of the guard who was already in a different body. He had been guarding his own safety for many years, and now he was planning a way out for himself after his death. It can be seen that his loyalty was inexplicably moved, and he thought of this assassination, and his younger brother, he was inexplicably angry.

The eldest prince's mother died early and was raised by Gao since childhood. She was full of gratitude and love for Gao. When he was a child, he had a good relationship with the second prince. However, since the King of Qi gradually revealed that he was the crown prince, the relationship between the two brothers has gradually become unfamiliar. Even to the point where he is now in war, the eldest prince sometimes even wonders what would happen if they were not born in the imperial family, but there is no if in the world, so his relationship with the second prince is getting worse and worse. Although Gao has been mediating for him, it still cannot change the situation of brotherly disagreement between the two.

The eldest prince thought in his heart that if he gave himself such a chance, would he do this like the second prince? The answer was that he didn't know, maybe, maybe not, but he thought that even if he could, he wouldn't do so so extreme as the second prince. At most he would put him under house arrest and would never have thought of killing him. Thinking of this, the eldest prince immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I am still inferior to you for your brother." The pain of his smile is not enough to be told to outsiders.

Just when the eldest prince was thinking a lot, several of the eldest prince's guards fell down, and he came to the edge of the battlefield under the escort of the two guards. Seeing this, the two guards turned to the eldest prince and said, "Your Highness, hurry up, let's retreat quickly, walk along the reed marsh over there, there is a very hidden path in the reed marsh that can reach the military camp at the dock."

After hearing this, the eldest prince stopped hesitating. He followed the two of them quickly waving their horse whips and rushed towards the reed marsh. Cang Songkui, who had been watching the battle, saw the eldest prince breaking away from the battle circle and fleeing towards the reed marsh. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, since I have taken action, how can you escape my pursuit? Forget it, I didn't want to attack you at first, so someone else will send you on the way. I hope you get underground and don't blame me."

The eldest prince followed the two guards all the way to the reed marsh. What he was most afraid of during this period was that Cang Songkui attacked him, because he knew Cang Songkui's strength very well. If he took action, he would die no matter how he escaped. However, what puzzled him was that until they entered the reed marsh, Cang Songkui still attacked him. The eldest prince knew that Cang Songkui would not attack him anymore, and he felt relieved and said to himself: "As long as Cang Songkui didn't take action, I still have a chance to escape. As long as I arrived at the military camp at the dock, I will be safe."

After entering the reed marsh, the eldest prince clearly felt that his speed had slowed down. He looked down at his feet and saw a muddy under his feet. He immediately smiled bitterly: "This road is so difficult and so hidden, how did you find it?"

One of the guards replied: "Your Highness, the young man grew up by the lake and followed his grandfather and father to fish since he was a child. He is also very clear about these roads hidden in the panic weeds. After coming to the Qihuangjiang Military Camp, my elder brother asked us to explore the surrounding environment. I discovered the small road here, but this road is hidden in reed marshes. Because it is flooded by the river for many years, it is very difficult to find. The small man was discovered by accident."

The eldest prince looked at him with admiration and said, "After returning to the capital, I will definitely receive a lot of rewards. At the same time, I also thank you for your continued resignation to you in this crisis."

The guard Geng smiled and said, "Your Highness is so serious. My father told my mother that since he has become a guard, he must be loyal to his master's family, so that he will not be worthy of his identity."

The guard next to him also said, "Dayong is right, my father and mother said to me in this way."

When the eldest prince heard the two of them, he immediately asked, "You are from the same place, right?"

Dayong said in surprise: "How did Your Highness know that Yu Daniu belongs to the same village?"

The eldest prince smiled slightly and said, "I heard that your accent is so similar, my Highness guessed."

Daniu looked at the eldest prince with admiration and said, "My father is right. Scholars are very smart, especially those in the palace. I am really convinced. Just by the accent of me and Dayong, Your Highness can guess that we are from the same village. It's so amazing."

Dayong nodded frequently on the side to express his agreement.

Seeing that the two of them were so honest, the eldest prince immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Are you smart? Are the royal people really smart? Alas!" The eldest prince sighed deeply in his heart.

At this time, the eldest prince seemed to have some changes in his heart. Looking at the two men in front of him and thinking about himself, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and sighed at the relationship between him and the second prince.

Just as the eldest prince and the two guards were running towards the dock, a cold and fierce boy wearing a black tights outside the reed marsh, with a Tang sword on his waist slightly smiled, then jumped up, ran wildly at the top of the reed marsh, heading straight to the place where the eldest prince was. It was so fast and light skills were extremely good.

The big bull said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, the exit of the reed marsh is not far away. After this reed marsh, we can go to the official road. Then we can follow the official road and we will reach the military camp at the dock in half an hour."

The eldest prince was happy after hearing this and said, "Then let's go quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest prince heard a gust of wind. He turned his head and saw a black shadow approaching them at an extremely fast speed. The eldest prince knew that it was an assassin, so he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Run quickly, it is an assassin." After that, he hurriedly rode his horse and ran.

The big bull Yu Dayong also followed closely behind, but the road was muddy in the reed marsh, and no matter how fast the speed was, it was not as fast as it could. Before the eldest princes could get out of the reed marsh, they were caught up.

The young man slapped his palm and immediately knocked the eldest prince out, and fell heavily on the official road not far away, spitting blood in his mouth. Daniu and Da Yong immediately said anxiously: "Your Highness."

However, soon Daniu and Dayong followed the footsteps of the eldest prince. They were kicked and directly kicked the two out by the young man and fell next to the eldest prince. The two of them immediately vomited blood.

The black shadow also went up to the official road, standing not far from the eldest prince, looking coldly at the three people who were lying on the ground.

The eldest prince raised his head and looked at the man with difficulty. He saw that the man was wearing a black tights, with a red tattoo on his chest, a sign on his neck, and a word Wu engraved on it. The eldest prince was shocked and said, "Huai Tu Gang, black shadow."

The Huaizhi Gang is a famous assassin organization in the Central Plains. All the members of the gang are assassin masters. Among them, the leader and the top ten assassins under him are the most famous. Each assassin has a representative sect. The code-named Wu Xiao is the person in front of the eldest prince. Assassin Black Shadow has a strange body technique and great light skills. People can only see a black shadow, which can be called Black Shadow by the Jianghu. Black Shadow is also named the fifth seat of the top ten assassins by the leader with his strange body technique and excellent light skills.

The black shadow slowly pulled out the Tang sword from his waist. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to the eldest prince more, but just wanted to solve his mission goal as soon as possible.

When the eldest prince saw the shadow pulling out the Tang sword, he was already desperate. He didn't expect that he had finally arrived here, but he still couldn't escape this pursuit in the end. He wouldn't expect that his younger brother would even invite the assassins of the Huaizhi Gang to kill him.

This is to get rid of him with the determination to kill him. The eldest prince's heart is filled with bitterness and unwillingness.

The eldest prince stood up with difficulty and was ready to run without saying a word. However, before he could move, the black shadow appeared in front of him and stabbed him in the heart. The eldest prince was shocked. At this time, Dayong pushed the eldest prince away. Tang Dao entered directly from Dayong's right shoulder, causing Dayong to roar.

The black shadow kicked Dayong away with one kick, and Daniu came up to help and was kicked out together. The two of them fell to the ground and obviously could not stand up.

Seeing Daniu and Dayong lying on the ground, the eldest prince's heart was already dead. The speed of the black shadow just now made him feel deeply desperate, and he did not intend to resist any more. Even if he resisted, it would be useless.
