However, Zhu Houzhao, who was running wildly at this moment, also felt a bit of fear and panic in his heart. After all, he had never experienced anything like this before. When it came to life and death, there was no difference between a high-ranking emperor and an ordinary person.
The only thing that is better is Zhu Houzhao's young mind. Although he is frightened, he is not confused. He knows that Du Yu and other people stayed behind to give him a chance to escape. If he is like a headless person here,
If they mess up like flies, then the efforts of Du Yu and others will be in vain.
After escaping for a while, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no movement behind him. The front was already the boundary of the royal hunting ground, and he might encounter the patrolling Jin Yiwei.
When he thought that all the guards following him were dead and wounded and Du Yu was the only one left, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but whispered: "Du Yu, it's better that nothing happens to you."
After all, Du Yu has been a guard who has been with him for many years. With Zhu Houzhao's affectionate, nostalgic, and affectionate temperament, it is impossible to regard Du Yu as a dispensable chess piece.
Affectionate.
Just as he was thinking about this, Zhu Houzhao's expression suddenly changed, a sound of galloping was heard, and a shout was heard from behind: "That boy, why don't you stop quickly."
Zhu Houzhao looked back and saw two men in black galloping towards him. Just looking at the blood dripping from behind the horse, he knew that the two assassins in black had used tricks to arouse the temper of the horse.
To catch up in such a short period of time.
I looked around and saw that there was a tall forest surrounding me. The two men in black were already chasing them. Even if I tried to run away, I couldn't escape.
Thinking that one day his majestic emperor would die so cowardly in the hands of a group of assassins, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of waiting for death. He grabbed the bow and arrow on his side and shot out an arrow, which shot through the air.
With a muffled groan, one of the assassins was hit by an arrow. However, the arrow did not hit the vital point. It only hit one of the assassin's arms. The assassin was ashamed and angry and said: "Damn it, I'm going to chop you into eight pieces."
."
Another assassin looked at Zhu Houzhao with a sympathetic look, "Why did you stimulate Mao Qi? He could have died happily, but he may have to endure some torture before he can rest in peace."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel disappointed when he didn't kill the assassin with one arrow. He tried to draw his bow but it was already too late. The sword flashed, and the angry Mao Qi directly slapped Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder with the blade of the sword.
Photographed Zhu Houzhao off his horse.
Zhu Houzhao, who fell heavily to the ground, endured the severe pain and stood up. He staggered back a few steps and stared at the two assassins in black who were approaching. There was no trace of fear on his face.
"Hey, you kid, aren't you afraid of death? Why don't you cry and beg like others? Maybe we will spare your life!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the other person's eyes full of teasing, and said with a bit of disdain and arrogance: "Even if he dies, Zhu will not be that person who is afraid of death and kneels down to beg for mercy."
The man in black on the side said: "Okay Mao Qi, time is tight, send him on his way quickly, we have to go back to help the leader."
Mao Qi muttered when he heard this, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Boy, if you shot me with an arrow, I will also shoot you with an arrow."
As he spoke, Mao Qi pulled out the well-made arrow on his arm, pointed the blood-stained arrowhead at Zhu Houzhao's heart and said, "Do you want to taste what it feels like to have an arrow pierce the heart?"
After the words fell, a cold light flashed in Mao Qi's eyes, and he stabbed Zhu Houzhao in the heart with an arrow. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.
"How brave, Li Huan is here, stop it!"
Accompanied by a shout, a shout like thunder came. Zhu Houzhao, whose heart had fallen into the abyss, felt that the shout was like the sound of nature, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he saw a figure descending from the sky. He knocked down the arrow piercing his heart with a single blow and raised the blade. With a streak of blood, the head of Mao Qi, who was about to kill him just now, flew up directly and fired.
The blood even splashed all over Zhu Houzhao.
However, when Zhu Houzhao felt a few drops of warm blood splashing on his face, he did not feel the slightest panic. In his eyes, there was only the figure that was not burly but as steady as a mountain standing in front of him.
On this day, Li Huan led people around as usual and then went to the old place to practice at Deshu. As a result, he was awakened by the sound of horse hooves while he was in meditation, and saw two men in black chasing a young man.
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't figure out what was going on, but seeing the young man facing two men in black, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and fearless in a life-or-death situation, which immediately made Li Huan feel a little fond of him.
So when Mao Qi was about to attack Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan directly blocked the arrow and killed the opponent smoothly.
"Damn it, kill my brother, you go to hell!"
The man in black on the side came to his senses and saw that Li Huan had ruined their good deeds and killed Mao Qi. With murderous intent, he directly stabbed Li Huan's heart with the long sword in his hand.
Zhu Houzhao, who was protected by Li Huan behind him, couldn't help but panic when he saw this scene. He must know that Li Huan had just killed Mao Qi, and his moves were already old, and he couldn't even change his moves to block.
"Flash!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't think much at all, and almost instinctively shouted to Li Huan who was standing in front of him.
Li Huan heard Zhu Houzhao's urgent and concerned cry and couldn't help but smile at Zhu Houzhao. This young man didn't have a bad heart, and he didn't think about it. If he ducked to avoid the sword in this situation, wouldn't that sword be the same?
It's stabbing himself.
Seeing that Li Huan was not dodging, even though he raised his hand to strike at him with the knife, the man in black could guarantee that his long sword would definitely penetrate Li Huan's heart first.
Even though Zhu Houzhao couldn't see the long sword, he could see the movements of the man in black, and he could guess the danger Li Huan was facing, especially the ferocious look in the eyes of the man in black.
The pride made Zhu Houzhao realize that Li Huan, who was protecting him behind him with the sword, was probably in danger.
Zhu Houzhao instinctively stretched out his hand to push Li Huan's figure, trying to push Li Huan aside to avoid the sword.
However, just when he reached out and touched Li Huan, Li Huan's voice suddenly sounded: "Little brother, don't move, he can't hurt me."
As if Li Huan's words had a strange magic power, Zhu Houzhao stopped his movements subconsciously. At this moment, along with the sound of breaking gold and iron, the man in black heard the incredible exclamation: "You...
What kind of kungfu are you doing! Iron cloth shirt... golden bell cover?"
When Zhu Houzhao looked around, the man in black was holding the broken long sword and fell to the ground. There was a long gash on his chest, the flesh and blood rolled out, and the blood gurgled out. His eyes were full of shock and unwillingness.
