The civil servant was so frightened that he was paralyzed. He nodded subconsciously with a blank face, turned around and ran away.
Chu Yuanqi has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts skills are not bad at all. But after all, he comes from a noble family and learned how to lead troops in battle. He still suffered a lot against elite assassins who were specially trained to kill people.
The assassin has a murderous look in his eyes, his moves are extremely cunning, and he presses forward step by step.
Chu Yuanqi struggled to deal with it and tried his best to hold off the assassin. As long as the assassin was prevented from chasing others, he would win.
But the consequence of doing so is undoubtedly putting yourself in the most dangerous position.
"Qiang!" The assassin's blade collided with Chu Yuanqi's blade, and sparks instantly burst out.
The assassin's strength was astonishing, and he pressed the blade of his knife to get closer.
Chu Yuanqi gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead, and tried his best to resist.
Seeing a stalemate.
The assassin's hands gripping the handle of the knife suddenly slid upwards, and the blade rubbed violently, causing a string of dazzling sparks to burst out.
Chu Yuanqi was already very close, and the sparks almost splashed into his face. He instinctively closed his eyes.
At this moment, the assassin bent down and let go, knocking him to the ground with a fierce sweeping kick. He turned his left hand, and sharp iron claws popped out of his wrist guard and grabbed him on the neck!
A strong wind blew in my face.
Chu Yuanqi fell heavily to the ground, and his bones felt like they were falling apart.
He didn't have time to think of anything. He rolled on the spot out of reflex and rolled half a meter to the side.
At the same moment, "Clang!!" was the harsh sound of the clash of gold and steel.
The iron claws gripped the ground hard, and the solid bluestone floor tiles instantly shattered, erupting into large clouds of dust.
"Ahem..." Chu Yuanqi, who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, couldn't help coughing because he was choked, and his vision was blurred.
The assassin missed the target, swung his sword without hesitation, and struck down again.
Chu Yuanqi's face turned pale and he had no time to escape.
The next second, blood splattered everywhere.
A sharp sword tip penetrated the assassin's heart from behind and stopped in front of Chu Yuanqi. The blood dripping from the sword tip flowed onto his face.
Chu Yuanqi raised his head blankly: "..."
"Huh." Xiao Lingyue drew her sword, kicked the dead assassin aside, and asked directly: "Have you seen the two children?"
Chu Yuanqi had just escaped from death, his mind was blank, and he looked up at her blankly.
Xiao Lingyue looked embarrassed at the moment.
The hem of her skirt was torn apart, covered in dust and mud, and her black hair hung loosely, floating around her cheeks, making her face look as cold as snow.
The veil on his face was also spattered with blood drops, and the exposed eyebrows were sharp and black and cold, like ice flowers blooming on the blade of a knife. There was a cold and dangerous beauty in every lowered eye.
Chu Yuanqi felt his heart beating wildly.
"Little Marquis, little Marquis?" Xiao Lingyue called him twice. Seeing that he was so frightened that he couldn't recover, she felt even more anxious.
She had searched the entire square and could not see Beibei and Hanhan anywhere. Even when she asked people, the frightened civil servants and noble ladies couldn't answer questions, and they wanted to drag her away.
let go.
The imperial army that initially protected the two children completely disappeared in this chaotic situation.
Xiao Lingyue was so anxious that she had no patience to wait for Chu Yuanqi's answer, so she turned around and left to look elsewhere. Popular『』
