Volume 1: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 49: Adventuring to Help You
In the western suburbs of Shangdu, the sun is blazing, the leaves are dense, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and there is no one else except a carriage speeding forward on the small road.
There was a sign of Prince Heng's Mansion hanging on the carriage, and a clear female voice came from inside the carriage: "How far is Fahua Temple?"
"It's not far, the princess is injured. Although Fahua Temple is a royal temple, it is located in a remote place. The road is rugged. I'm afraid it will be very bumpy, right?" the coachman replied loudly.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about me. Pray for His Highness, and talk about the bumps and bumps."
The driver cracked his whip vigorously, and the horse's speed increased a bit.
There was no wind or dust around, except for the constant chirping of cicadas.
Suddenly, there was a sound, and the birds in the woods started up and flew in all directions. The galloping horse roared and shook its head. The driver pulled the reins quickly, the horse's front hooves were raised high, and it stopped suddenly when it landed.
In front of the carriage, dozens of men in black appeared in a row, wearing masks and holding long swords, standing solemnly. The light coming from the cracks in the woods directly hit the sharp blades, and the silver light was dazzling.
"What's wrong?" The female voice in the carriage asked anxiously and doubtfully.
"Princess, there is... there is..." Before the coachman could finish his words, the man in black standing in the middle not far away moved his wrist, raised his sword and stabbed at him at full speed. The coachman fell down with his head in his arms.
He rolled on the spot and fell down a slope.
A man in black, who was following closely behind, ran out of the team and chased the driver in the direction where he fell, determined not to let anyone survive.
The sword of the leading man in black did not change direction, but moved towards the carriage with a more fierce attack. When the tip of the sword was about to touch the door, the door suddenly opened, and a woman also wearing black flew out. This person
It's Li Han.
She raised her whip and swung it down, wrapping it around the sharp sword in front of her eyes, and pulled the opponent to the ground to stand.
The man in black suddenly raised his head and saw her face clearly: she was not Princess Heng. His exposed eyes showed surprise and confusion.
Li Han raised his head slightly and said coldly: "Changfeng Li Han, I have let you down." After saying that, she whipped the ground with hatred.
The leader of the man in black paused, and the eight people behind him all stopped and were on guard. In a moment, he picked up his steps again and came forward with his sword raised. The eight people behind him looked at the wind and followed suit.
At this time, there was a rustle in the grass all around, and the man in black's ears moved slightly. He had very good hearing and had a bad heart. As soon as the voice in his heart fell, the royal guards, who were several times their number, quickly approached not far away.
.
His sword was heading towards Li Han, but he saw a flying knife shot out from nowhere, flying towards his face faster than his sword. He had to quickly turn his head and subconsciously put away his sword to block the knife.
Throwing knives. Although he dodged the flying knives, he also missed the best opportunity to attack.
At this moment, the palace guards had already attacked and started fighting fiercely with the man in black. Although the leader of the man in black was very good at martial arts, the palace guards were not vegetarians either, and he could not get away for a while.
Li Han always stood in front of the carriage, holding a whip in his right hand and observing the battle situation carefully.
In the woods, the sound of swords clashing gradually became louder and weaker. Seeing his men being subdued one by one, the man in black took the opportunity and wanted to turn around and evacuate, but another flying knife stabbed into his right calf.
Staggeringly, several swords fell on his neck.
Defeat is certain.
The palace guards quickly tied up the ten men in black, including the one who chased the coachman, and brought them to the carriage.
The leader, the man in black, was considered fierce. The moment his mask was pulled off, he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide. Fortunately, the guards were on guard and did not let him succeed.
At this time, the carriage door creaked open again. Qingxi, dressed in elegant clothes, slowly walked out and walked to the leader of the men in black.
The men in black all looked at her with surprised expressions on their faces.
The moment they saw the palace guards, they knew they had been ambushed. The princess was walking lightly to Fahua Temple to fast and pray for blessings, which was probably a pretense to invite you to enter the urn. Therefore, they thought that there was no princess in the carriage at all. However, at this moment
, but the princess stood in front of them as calmly as a breeze, her clothes were elegant and her elegance was outstanding.
"Actually, we should be considered acquainted." Qingxi looked at the leader of the men in black and said calmly.
The leading man in black looked at her and said nothing.
Qingxi smiled slightly and said softly: "Some people don't have the chance to speak anymore. It's no exaggeration to say that what Your Excellency Baodingshan said at that time changed my life."
The person in front of him had doubts in his eyes. And Li Han behind him didn't know why when he heard this.
Qingxi glanced at the injury on his leg and shook her head with pity: "Before doing something that is life-threatening, you must first ask whether it is worth it."
"Princess, there is no need to waste any words. Today's matter is planned by me alone and has nothing to do with others."
Qingxi's face was very calm: "Who planned it and why they wanted to put me to death? The relevant government offices will have to investigate and find out. This is not my responsibility, and you don't need to tell me." Then, she turned to Li Han and said:
"I wonder if Miss Li has noticed anything after watching this for a long time?"
Li Han raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone remained calm: "Qijingshan Taoist Master Yi Bo has a disciple. I heard that he left Qijing Mountain two years ago for unknown reasons. Yi Bo Taoist Master is good at using swords and has his own unique sword.
Fa. He has never been out of Qijing Mountain in his life, and the Hardy Sword Technique is actually only used for daily practice and health preservation, and its moves have no offensive power. But he," she said, glanced at the man in black, and continued: "He just used the move
Although the swordsmanship is difficult, the moves can kill people, so ruthless, I'm afraid it will make Master angry to death."
The man in black looked pale.
Li Han pouted, put away his short whip and said: "Although I am not good at martial arts, my eyesight is not bad." She looked at the man in black indifferently and said again: "You have used this set of swordsmanship with force.
It is easy to deal with ordinary people, but the guards of the palace are not ordinary people. The more force you use, the more flaws you will have, so it is not a shame for you to lose today."
"You..." The man in black's face turned red again, and he was very angry.
Qingxi lowered his head and smiled. It seemed that Li Han's irritating skills were not only effective on Qingsong.
"You know who I am, right?" Li Han leaned over and looked at the man in black who was glaring at her. "I am from Changfeng Escort Agency. I am not good at anything else. The guys who travel around like to spread their knowledge."
The man in black's eyes darkened.
Li Han clicked his tongue: "Master Yiwu is kind and cute..."
Qingxi and the man in black both looked at her. She actually used the word "cute" to describe a Taoist priest who was nearly 70 years old.
Li Han felt their eyes, but after thinking about it, she used the word cute correctly, so she continued calmly: "I heard that he and Taoist Master Shiquan made an oath to each other, and that he and his apprentice would never get involved.
Otherwise, I will give up my Taoist temple in Qijing Mountain and never enter Qijing Mountain again." She paused, and seeing that the change in the face of the man in black was in line with her expectations, she continued: "Maybe it's time.
Qijingshan might be able to give up the Taoist master's level, but if the whole world knew that his disciple was so unkind and upright and wanted to take people's lives, he would probably be killed by a headlong collision. He would be pointed out by fellow Taoists.
, being discussed and criticized by everyone in the world, and not being able to guarantee the end of the festival, it’s so miserable!” She shook her head helplessly.
The man in black's whole body was heaving violently, and his breathing was unbearable.
Qingxi stepped forward and said gently: "In fact, it is easy for the court to find out your true identity. If you are willing to cooperate, maybe the court is also willing to fulfill your respect for the elders." She waved her hand: "Send them to where they should go.
Bar."
The guards of the palace were ordered to escort the people away. The remaining guards were on alert again, far away from Qingxi and Li Han. At this time, the driver who rolled down the hillside also came back under the escort of a guard.
Qingxi immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
The coachman smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a little scratched. Oh, even though I'm scared, I still feel like I've done something big."
Qingxi said softly: "Thank you for your hard work." She raised her head again and said to the guard who brought him back: "There is ointment in the car, please help him apply it."
The two of them took the order and headed for the carriage.
Qingxi smiled and nodded at Li Han beside him: "Thank you very much for today, Miss Li. I think that person will speak up. As a confidant of Prince Guang, he knows a lot. This time, you have helped His Highness a lot.
." She lowered her head slightly and her voice became hoarse: "He will thank you very much when he comes back."
Li Han smiled with a smile on his lips: "Sixth Master should be grateful to the princess for her adventurous plan. In fact, the princess does not need to come today."
Qingxi shook his head: "Before I saw that group of people, I wasn't sure whether Prince Guang would take action. I had to come and confirm. And weren't the palace guards taking risks to complete their mission? They are here, and I must be there. Maybe I can help.
It's not a big deal, but at least I want them to know that His Highness will advance and retreat with them. Besides..." She frowned, as if thinking about something, and continued: "I originally thought that if I could sustain some injuries at the scene
, if the news spreads out from the court, it will be even more unfavorable for the resolution of Prince Guang's matter. However, you protected me so well today that there is no chance." These words sounded really regretful.
She turned around and looked at the road leading to Fahua Temple: "That's fine. I will continue to fast at Fahua Temple and pray for His Highness. I hope that everything goes well for him in the southwest." She paused and murmured: "He
I wonder if his injury has been healed?" After saying this, she seemed to remember something. She realized that Li Han was beside her, so she looked at her and said, "You don't need to worry about his injury." She tried her best to make herself laugh.
It's less embarrassing.
But Li Han's expression was slightly thoughtful.
Qingxi thought she was really worried about Xiao Yizheng and didn't know what to say, so she stepped forward.
"Princess," Li Han called her.
Qingxi looked back at her.
Li Han said: "You have worked hard these past two days. If you go to Fahua Temple to fast again, your body may not be able to bear it. You can rest for two days."
"No need..." Before Qing Xi finished her words, she heard Li Han say: "I'm offended."
Li Han raised his hand and patted her neck. Immediately, she vaguely saw the guards not far away rushing over, and her eyelids gradually darkened and she fell into darkness.
