Chapter 3 Bewildering

The leader was a tall and strong man. Time had already carved traces of vicissitudes on his horse's face, but his shoulders were still straight, like a standing horse spear.

This man's name is Cui Jiu, and he is also the chief of the fire that guards the city of Hechuan.

Seeing Cui Jiu, Pei Shaoqing inexplicably felt a kind of admiration.

But he quickly realized that this was the emotion that belonged to Pei Shaoqing.

The original Pei Shaoqing lost his parents at the age of nine and survived with the help of the elders guarding the city of Hechuan. Among them, Cui Jiu and his wife were the best for him.

They almost raised him as their own son.

Therefore, when you see Cui Jiu, you will feel admiration.

However, Pei Shaoqing quickly suppressed this emotion.

"Uncle Jiu, the disaster is happening!" Pei Shaoqing said in a deep voice.

Cui Jiu looked stern and asked back: "Dalang, where is the meat ticket?"

"She is." Pei Shaoqing pushed Princess Taiping to Cui Jiu.

"What?" Cui Jiu was stunned. Is this little girl the meat ticket that Master Huo asked them to tie?

Pei Shaoqing said again: "Uncle Jiu, do you know what her identity is?"

"What's the identity?" Cui Jiu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, locking Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping felt uncomfortable all over by Cui Jiu's stare, so she raised her eyebrows and shouted: "What are you looking at? You dare to stare at this princess like this, and turn around and let your ninth clan destroy your nine clans!"

"Princess?" The other guards were startled.

Cui Jiu also felt a slump and asked Pei Shaoqing, "Which princess?"

Pei Shaoqing said with a dark face: "Princess Taiping, the heart of the two saints today!"

"What?" Cui Jiu's expression changed.

Although he was just an old Rong soldier who had retired for many years,

But Cui Jiu also knows what it means to kidnap Princess Taiping.

"I'll go find Master Fire!" Cui Jiu's first reaction was to settle the score with Master Fire.

How many things do you mean to take such a business for us? Isn’t this destroying us?

"Uncle Jiu, don't rush to settle the score with Master Huo for now." Pei Shaoqing stopped Cui Jiu and said in a deep voice, "It is urgent to deal with this hot lyrics as soon as possible!"

"Oh yes." Cui Jiu paused, his eyes locked Princess Taiping again.

Princess Taiping frowned again and scolded, "I advise you to be more aware of your circumstances. If I let me go now, my mother might have spared you for my sake."

"But if you are stubborn,"

"I am the first princess to spare you..."

Pei Shaoqing was impatient and took out a sweat towel from his arms.

In two strokes, he kneaded the sweat towel into a ball, and then forced it into Princess Taiping's small mouth.

Princess Taiping felt a smell of sweat rushing straight from her nose and almost got smoky to death.

Pei Shaoqing turned his head and asked Cui Jiu again: "Uncle Jiu, where is the handover location for your team?"

Cui Jiuyi waved his hand and said, "According to the rules of catching the man, I can't tell you this."

"Uncle Jiu, when is it now?" Pei Shaoqing said with a dark face, "Do you still care about these?"

"Rules are rules." Cui Jiu scolded with a stern face, "You can't break the rules at any time."

But soon, Cui Jiu's expression calmed down again, and he sighed: "But uncle also knows that this job must not be taken over again, otherwise it would be the end of death."

Pei Shaoqing said: "Uncle Jiu, then what do you mean?"

"Let me go!" Cui Jiu sighed, "Send me back."

Pei Shaoqing frowned and said, "The problem is that even if we release others, we are afraid we won't be able to survive."

"I know this." Cui Jiu said unanimously, "We have offended the Two Saints. Even if we release people, we will not be able to escape death. But if we do not release people, we will not die."

"But the entire Hechuan Guard captured more than 3,000 people!"

Cui Jiu's reaction was long as Pei Shaoqing expected.

But this is obviously not what Pei Shaoqing wants, he doesn't want to die.

In short, he will not give up his life easily until the end.

"Uncle Jiu, you can't let anyone go!" Pei Shaoqing said in a deep voice, "You can't give up easily!"

Cui Jiu sighed and said, "Dalang, why do I want to give up? But what can I do?"

"Uncle Jiu, there is actually a solution..." Pei Shaoqing suddenly stopped when he said this.

Immediately, I pulled out the horizontal knife from Cui Jiu's waist and slashed at Princess Taiping with her backhand.

This became hasty, and Cui Jiu couldn't react at all.

Princess Taiping was even more frightened and was stunned.

If I hadn't been blocked, I'd probably have screamed.

The next second, the horizontal knife almost slid across Princess Taiping's cheek.

With a "ding" sound, a wolf-toothed arrow as thick as a thumb was barely blocked.

It's just a little bit short of Princess Taiping was not shot through the head by this arrow.

It turns out that an assassin hides in the woods at the entrance of the village and shoots a cold arrow.

Then Pei Shaoqing and Cui Jiu's voices rang out at the same time.

"Beware, there are assassins!"

"Dalang, don't do anything random!"

Then another arrow shot.

But this time it was no longer one, but a swishing piece!

And without exception, all of these arrows were shot at Princess Taiping.

Pei Shaoqing couldn't stop her with a knife, so he could only protect Princess Taiping with his body.

All this is a long story, but in fact it is only in a flash. When he said it soon, Pei Shaoqing had been hit by several arrows in his chest, but fortunately, his round neck shirt was covered with bright light armor.

The defense effect of the Mingguang Armor is extremely powerful, and the arrows are bounced away one after another.

Several arrows shot at Pei Shaoqing's face were also blocked by him with a knife.

Blocking this wave of arrow rain, the other guards finally reacted.

At that moment, more than a dozen guards rushed forward and protected Pei Shaoqing.

Cui Erlang even waved a spear and stood in front of the queue.

The arrow that came like rain was blocked by Cui Erlang and the others.

"This is a trap, we have been betrayed." Cui Jiu suddenly woke up and shouted sternly, "Dalang, please protect the princess from here quickly and ensure her safety!"

"I can't leave anymore." Pei Shaoqing shook his head and sighed.

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of horse hooves sounded around the village.

"Cuitou, a team of cavalry was found at the entrance of the village, with at least thirty cavalry!"

"There are also cavalrymen at the end of the village, with more numbers, at least fifty cavalry!"

When Cui Jiu looked closely, he saw a team of cavalry wearing black bright light armor rushing towards the entrance of the village.

After seeing the style and color of the Tang army armor, more than a dozen guards exclaimed at the same time: "Right Guard! This is the cavalry of the Right Guard!"

Pei Shaoqing was also shocked.

The situation is really getting more and more confusing.

The Right Guard is one of the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty, so Princess Taiping is also killed?

Also, how could the cavalry of the Right Guard know that the connection between the guard and the chaser was in Jiuli Village?

It seems that the kidnapping case against Princess Taiping is much more complicated than he imagined.

Pei Shaoqing felt that a huge net was covering them.
