The concubine's concubine smiled charmingly, and the villain king would not hesitate to tease h

Xiao Jiwei naturally would not refuse.

He has just arrived in Beihan, and he is not familiar with everything here. The king of Nanyang obviously came to welcome him at the emperor's order, and there is no harm to him, so it is right to follow his arrangement.

The border town where they live is called Hucheng. It is not a big place, but the people are very enthusiastic. Perhaps it is because there are very few people from Dayan here, especially these good-looking boys and girls. It attracted a lot of onlookers everywhere, especially Xiao Jiwei, who was given a lot of flowers by the girls.

It was the first time to encounter such a scene, even Xiao Jiwei was a little overwhelmed, the King of Nanyang laughed when he saw it.

"Your Highness, don't be fooled. Although you are half of the North Han blood, you grew up in Dayan, and because your wife is from Dayan, you look more like a southerner. That's why you let the girl They appreciate it so much!"

Hearing Nanyang King's words, Wen Xun'er couldn't help but sighed: "Why does he have flowers to pick me up? Don't you Beihan people like women with southern looks?"

Nanyang Wang laughed loudly: "My nephew's temperament is quite similar to that of us Beihan people!"

Wen Xun'er shrugged: "It's not shameful to be given flowers, there's nothing to say!"

"Madam doesn't know something!" The person who came was Nanyang King's maidservant, she said in substandard Dayan's words, "Madam is a curly hair, Beihan is the same as Dayan, so a curly hair means that she is a married woman, especially There are many restrictions on women in the south, so whenever you meet a southern woman with curly hair, you are more attractive, and no man dares to send flowers! One is afraid of insulting the woman's innocence, and the other is afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Only then did Wen Xun'er understand.

Walking through the long street, I saw many performances related to fire. In these nine cold days, there were actually some people performing juggling shirtless. Just watching it made people feel cold.

In addition to these, there are also some entertainment programs that can only be found in the south. Nanyang King's maid said that because this place is close to Dayan, people from Dayan will occasionally come here to do business, so there will be some things from Dayan Kingdom. .

After shopping for two days in a row, on the third day, Wen Xun'er was so tired that he just wanted to stay in the inn to rest.

The King of Nanyang originally prepared other programs, but upon seeing this, he canceled it temporarily, thinking that he would be on his way tomorrow, so he gave everyone a day of free activities.

When Xiao Jiwei was free for a while, he stayed with Wen Xun'er in the inn for a day.

That night, the birds chirping continued outside the window, and Wen Xun'er couldn't sleep because of the noise.

She tossed and turned for a long time, then simply sat up, found something, and planned to drive away the birds outside.

Xiao Jiwei was sleeping under the bed, and after being awakened by her, he came to the window with her.

It's just that when the two of them came to the window, they saw a cold light flashing outside the window. Before Wen Xun'er could react, Xiao Jiwei covered her mouth and dragged her behind the window.

Wen Xun'er looked at Xiao Jiwei with lingering fear in his heart, Xiao Jiwei made a silent movement towards her, then let go of his hand, and took out the dagger that he always carried in his sleeve.

The window lattice was pushed open a small crack, and then something protruded in from the outside, blowing smoke into the room.

Wen Xun'er saw clearly.

Isn't this the Mixiang that is often played on TV?

She looked at Xiao Jiwei.

Xiao Jiwei motioned her to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and when the movement outside disappeared, he grabbed a pair of scissors in the dark and stuffed them into Wen Xun'er's hands.

"Hide!"

He mouthed Wen Xun'er.

Wen Xun'er nodded, walked around behind the bed, and hid in a corner.

At the same time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and it was the sound of fighting.

Like a signal, the person outside the window immediately opened the window and jumped in, going straight to the bed.

Xiao Jiwei confirmed that there was no one outside, so he walked around behind the man, covered his mouth and cut his throat, and he immediately dealt with the man, then he dragged the man's body to the side, and continued to sneak into the corner.

"Giggle!"

There were a few birdsong outside the window.

This time, Wen Xun'er realized that the sound was not a bird call, but a fake one, that is to say, it was this sound that woke her up before!

This group of people is really treacherous. Those who can do the assassination mission here must be the Beihan royal family!

Thinking of this, she frowned. She didn't expect that someone would be assassinated just after arriving at the border. She didn't know how many crises she would encounter along the way!

The people outside didn't hear anything, and immediately tried to open the window to come in, but when he saw the blood on the ground, he immediately realized that something was wrong, turned around and wanted to leave.

How could Xiao Jiwei let go of such an opportunity, grabbed his cry directly, and stabbed the man's calf with a knife, and the man fell directly from the second floor with a scream.

Although it is not fatal, it is enough for him to go down to such a high place!

Xiao Jiwei then closed the window, locked it from the inside, and then took Wen Xun'er out.

The fighting outside the house was extremely intense.

As soon as I came out, I saw men in black all over the aisle, and whether there were men in black pouring out of each room, they all obviously climbed in from the window!

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan was leading his people to fight, but the aisle was too small to perform well, so he was suddenly at a disadvantage.

"Protect Your Highness!"

With Zhang Yuan's order, everyone gathered towards Xiao Jiwei's room. Xiao Jiwei closed the door and came to the window again. After opening the window and looking down, he realized that there were more than one or two people in black outside.

"The inn should be surrounded! We have nowhere to go!"

The person who fell just now fell unconscious and was lying down below.

"This group of people have high martial arts skills and are professional killers!"

From the vicious moves of those people, Xiao Jiwei has judged that this group of people is not easy to deal with!

At this moment, Chunsheng hurriedly opened the door and entered: "Your Highness, madam, come with me! The King of Nanyang has already prepared the carriage for us, and it is in the backyard!"

Xiao Jiwei hurriedly took Wen Xun'er out.

A group of three people came to the opposite room and went down from the opposite window, which happened to be the backyard of the inn. If they jumped down, they could walk a few steps to the back door!

"Let's jump!" Wen Xun'er looked at the tree on the side, judged the position, and let Xiao Jiwei jump first.

"You go down first! Chunsheng, then Madam!"

Chunsheng responded and jumped directly onto the big tree below. The big tree was only one step away from the window, so it was not difficult, and Wen Xun'er had some skills, so it was no problem.

She jumped up the tree and walked with Chunsheng.

But at this moment, someone rushed in at the door, saw them running, and threw a long sword towards the window, Xiao Jiwei sideways avoided, and that person was also killed by the sword from behind.

It's Zhang Yuan.

He looked at Xiao Jiwei: "Your Highness, go!"

He closed the door, blocked the door, and fought with the assassin.

Xiao Jiwei immediately stepped onto the window sill and jumped towards the tree.

The three of them came to the carriage in the backyard together.

Qiuyue was already inside, but there was blood on her body. I don't know if she was frightened. She was trembling all over. When she saw Wen Xun'er coming in, she hugged Wen Xun'er and cried, "Miss, are you okay? There are a lot of dead people !"

"I'm fine!" Wen Xun'er comforted her, "Are you injured?"

Qiuyue shook her head: "Other people's blood!"

Wen Xun'er was relieved.

Just at this moment, there was movement outside the carriage, Xiao Jiwei opened the curtain to look out, and saw the group of assassins chasing towards the carriage on horseback.

He immediately frowned.

The carriage must not be able to outrun the horse. In this way, sooner or later someone will catch up!Especially since few of them know martial arts!

Fortunately, their people appeared in time and stopped the wave of assassins, and the danger was temporarily lifted.

Chunsheng was driving in front.

He didn't know the way, so he could only instinctively run towards the road.

On the other side, King Nanyang finally escaped and got into another carriage. Seeing Xiao Jiwei and his party disappear at this intersection, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go over there, at least spread out the troops for Your Highness!"

Xiao Jiwei and Wen Xun'er fled in a hurry, they didn't put on their coats.

Fortunately, there was a thin blanket in the carriage. Even though the three of them were crowded together, they could temporarily avoid the cold.

Wen Xun'er was shivering from the cold: "They didn't attack until the third day, it seems that this group of people have been watching us for several days!"

Xiao Jiwei's face was gloomy, seeing Wen Xun'er trembling all over, he stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, Wen Xun'er was really cold, so he didn't struggle, she motioned for Qiuyue on the other side to hold her.

The three of them cuddled together like this, and Wen Xun'er heard the words: "There will be pursuit and killing just after arriving in Hucheng, I'm afraid there are only a few more assassins on the road behind!"

Xiao Jiwei lowered his gaze: "It seems that we can't go with Emperor Uncle and the others!"

The more people, the bigger the goal!

"Call-"

Ahead, Chunsheng stopped his horse suddenly.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, there are many people!"

Xiao Jiwei lifted the curtain and took a look, only to find that there were twenty or thirty masked men in black in front of them, completely blocking everyone's way.

"retreat!"

He ordered decisively.

Chunsheng quickly turned his horse's head and galloped away in another direction. At the same time, the assassin in front also moved and came straight towards the carriage.

There are so many assassins, it is inevitable.

"Wen Xun'er, listen, I'm the one they're going to arrest. I'll go down and distract the pursuers later. Run as far as you can!"

Wen Xun'er grabbed him tightly: "Then you have thrown yourself into a trap?"

Xiao Ji's dangerous eyes paused for a moment: "Didn't you say that I belong to the millennium of the disaster? Don't worry, I won't die!"

With that said, he came to the front of the car, planning to find a chance to jump off.

But at this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes ahead, and it was Zhang Yuan and his party who were behaving humanely!

Wen Xun'er was overjoyed: "We are saved!"

Xiao Jiwei looked at the person in front of him, but his expression did not soften.

Zhang Yuan and his party are naturally highly skilled in martial arts, but the assassins in the rear are well-trained, and they seem to be stronger than the group of people in the inn. Zhang Yuan and his party may not be able to retreat unscathed if they go here!

But protecting him is the group's mission.

When the two groups of people fought together, Zhang Yuan ordered one group to follow the carriage, while the other group stayed to fight.

The sound of fighting gradually faded away, and the carriage ran to a hill. Chunsheng had no idea where the group of people had gone. He stopped the carriage only after making sure that the surrounding area was safe.

The guard found a cave.

Wen Xun'er twisted his foot when he jumped off the tree just now.I can't walk at all right now.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiwei squatted down in front of him.

"Come up."

Wen Xun'er didn't want to be hypocritical at the moment, and went directly to his back.

With her on his back, Xiao Jiwei followed the crowd and walked directly into the forest.

Inside the cave, the guards had already lit a fire.

Both Wen Xun'er and Qiuyue were so cold that they were shivering all over, and when they were illuminated by the fire, the chill was immediately driven away.

"Your Highness, clothes!"

It was a few bodyguard uniforms, which were obviously taken off by the guards outside.

Xiao Jiwei wrapped the clothes around Wen Xun'er, and then looked at her legs.

"Bring the legs here."

He grabbed Wen Xun'er's foot, took off her shoes and socks, and checked her injured leg.

Wen Xun'er sprained his leg when he jumped from the tree, and he heard a cracking sound at that time, guessing that he must have hurt the bone inside.

"pain!"

Being pinched to the wound by Xiao Jiwei, Wen Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jiwei's eyes were cold.

"Chunsheng went to find some logs."

When the wood arrived, Xiao Jiwei fixed Wen Xun'er's leg with a branch, and looked out of the cave.

"We can't stay here for long, we have to find a doctor."

"It's not safe in the city now. If you go out and encounter assassins again, you will be in trouble. It's better to stay here and find a doctor when the sky is bright tomorrow."

Xiao Jiwei looked at Wen Xun'er: "Can you hold on?"

"I can do it." Wen Xun'er paled.

Xiao Jiwei tightened his lips, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally did not refute.

When I completely relaxed my mind, I realized that my leg was really hurting.Wen Xun'er woke up from the pain several times throughout the night, and he didn't want to drag everyone down because of his injured leg, so he kept silent.

Xiao Jiwei obviously felt it, he has always been a light sleeper.

So when Wen Xun'er turned over again, he woke up.

"wait for me."

He walked out of the hole, not knowing what he had done.When he came in again, he had something in his hand.

After looking carefully, Wen Xun'er realized that it was snow wrapped in leaves.

Putting the leaves on Wen Xun'er's injured leg, the latter immediately felt a chill, and the burning pain of the wound was relieved a lot.

Afterwards, Xiao Jiwei would change the melted snowflakes every once in a while. After a whole night, his eyes turned red, but Wen Xun'er actually fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, a group of people went down the mountain road to find a doctor in the city.

As soon as they entered the city, they found that the streets were full of officers and soldiers, and the inn where they rested last night was directly sealed up. Seeing the corpses being carried out, there were assassins and their people, a group of guards gradually became popular. squinted.

The group of them who followed Zhang Yuan and Xiao Jiwei were life and death brothers. Now, how could they not feel sad when they saw their brother die tragically?

Xiao Jiwei watched this scene from the carriage.The coldness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Wen Xun'er sat by the side, really feeling the chill emanating from his body.

Finally found the doctor.

After checking Wen Xun'er's legs, the doctor thankfully said, "Thanks to Madam's legs being packed with ice water, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy."

Wen Xun'er remembered Xiao Jiwei's leg that had been wrapped all night last night, and couldn't help but look at him again.

"Then how long will it take for my wife's legs to recover?" he asked the doctor.

The doctor laughed: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just a hundred days of injury, and Madam's legs will definitely need to be raised for a while."

Wen Xun'er sighed, it's easy to talk about other places, but it's really troublesome to hurt a leg, and you have to be carried when you go out.

By the time the doctor finished bandaging his legs, the guards had already fetched their clothes from the inn.

Xiao Jiwei sent Wen Xun'er to the carriage, suitable for Qiuyue to change her clothes.

After Wen Xun'er's clothes were changed, Xiao Jiwei also changed in the tailor's shop beside him, and brought out some extra clothes by the way.

"My lord, this is what you want."

Chunsheng handed a scroll to Xiao Jiwei.

Xiao Jiwei immediately got into the carriage and opened the scroll.

It was actually a topographic map of Beihan.

Xiao Jiwei stared at the picture for a long time, circled it with his fingers from time to time, and finally found a way in it, and he told Chunsheng: "Take this way."

Chunsheng stiffened.

"Let our guards be divided into three waves, take the carriages separately, and go to the imperial city from three different directions."

Xiao Jiwei pointed to three directions on the map.

Chunsheng wrote it down and hurried to find the guards.

After Zhang Yuan's hard work last night, he lost a lot of brothers. He is clearly not in good spirits at the moment. Hearing Chunsheng's words, he looked towards the direction of the carriage from a distance, and then walked over.

"Young master." He called Xiao Jiwei softly outside the carriage, "Can we stay for a day or two before we leave? These brothers followed us all the way, from Dayan to Beihan, through life and death. I don't want them to expose their corpses to the wilderness, at least bury them before leaving. Walk."

Xiao Jiwei responded in silence for a moment.

"As it should be."

A group of people led the body out from the government and buried it on the nearby mountain.

Unable to engrave an inscription, they used a tablet without words.

Wen Xun'er sat in the carriage all the time because of his limited mobility.

Just when the bodies of those people were buried, it suddenly began to rain lightly.

When the eloquent raindrops fell, they wet everyone's hair, as if it was the silent farewell of the guards.

Wen Xun'er was lying on the carriage, her eyes were a little red, and Qiuyue beside her was already crying.

"Miss..." She threw herself into Wen Xun'er's arms, and finally couldn't help crying.

An assassin nearly killed her last night, and it was a guard who saved her, but the situation was so critical that she didn't even see the face of the savior clearly, and it was because of this that she was filled with guilt.

In other words, among the dead was her savior.

Wen Xun'er hugged her and didn't speak.

It was only the first stop, and they suffered heavy casualties. Counting carefully, dozens of them died.

After burying the guard's body, Zhang Yuan began to arrange the carriage.

But he was worried about Xiao Jiwei leaving alone, so he divided the guards into three, and he himself stayed to protect Xiao Jiwei.

When Qiuyue learned that she was going to be separated from Wen Xun'er, her eyes were full of reluctance: "Miss, just let me follow you!"

"There are too many of us, the target is too big, and the assassin's target is my uncle, you and Chunsheng will be fine."

Qiuyue shook her head and refused to let go of her hand.

Wen Xun'er could only soften his voice: "Don't worry, we will meet again after the crisis is over!"

Things have come to this, Qiuyue can only agree.

A total of four carriages set off in different directions.

Zhang Yuan specially arranged for three guards who were about the same stature as Xiao Jiwei to put on his clothes and sit in the carriage, trying to confuse the real one with the fake one. In this way, Xiao Jiwei's target was much smaller and much safer.

Apart from the other three teams, Xiao Jiwei chose the most remote and difficult road, and even had to cross snow-capped mountains at one point.

It's just that, Wen Xun'er's injured leg was a hindrance.

I have reached a place where I cannot go.He could only ride a horse, but fortunately Wen Xun'er's riding skills were not bad, even if he hurt his leg, he could still ride a horse safely.

It's just that the weather in the north is so cold that her hands once developed chilblains.

At night, the three of them slept in the woods with a fire.

Because Zhang Yuan didn't want to disturb them, he lit a fire not far away by himself.

He and Xiao Jiwei are two people, one is in charge of the first half of the night and the other is in charge of the second half of the night.

When Wen Xun'er was sleeping, he saw Xiao Jiwei sitting by himself with a preoccupied look, so he walked over.

He covered the two of them with blankets, and then sat down beside Xiao Jiwei.

"Thinking about assassins?"

Xiao Jiwei turned his head to look at him.The fire shone on his face, flickering on and off.

Wen Xun'er didn't know what he was thinking, seeing that he didn't answer, he could only say: "People cannot be resurrected after death. If you are thinking about those dead guards, there may be more sacrifices along the way."

Xiao Jiwei shook his head: "The dangers along the way have been foreseen, but I didn't expect these people to be so vicious, but the more vicious they are, the more they are afraid of me returning to the imperial city, so I want to go back, the person who hurt me, I am alone Will not let go."

Wen Xun'er didn't speak anymore.

The night wind was blowing, with a piercing chill, and the fire on the side was clearly extinguished.

Because of the cold, Wen Xun'er leaned against Xiao Jiwei's body, and the latter opened his cloak, wrapped her tightly, and hugged each other to keep warm.
