The hero bends down

Chapter 42 Assassinated

On the official road from the capital to Jinnan Pass, a carriage was driving slowly.The outside of the carriage is very simple, others only see ordinary wooden carriages, ordinary wooden wheels, ordinary horses and an ordinary groom.

The groom has an ordinary appearance, a face that you will forget when you throw it on the street.

An impatient voice came from the carriage: "Nighthawk, it's been a few days, why are you still running in this area?"

The driver of the car was a little helpless, he turned his head to look at the curtain of the carriage and said: "Go back to the emperor, the imperial doctor Cheng said that you are not feeling well, the car should not be too bumpy, you have to go slowly."

"..." Long Yi stared.

Then he lifted the curtain of the car and said angrily, "Nighthawk, since when have you listened to them?"

Yeying lowered his eyebrows and said in his ear: "Your Majesty, your bones are not good. This is for the sake of the dragon's body."

"..." Long Yi continued to stare, his expression was as if he had swallowed a big nucleus and was choking.

Then he turned back into the car, glanced coldly at Defu and Cheng Fengnan in the car, and said indifferently: "Dare to indulge you too much these days, anyone who speaks is more powerful than me."

As soon as he said this, Defu quickly stood up from his seat and was about to bow to the ground, but he hit the roof of the carriage when he got up.The roof of the carriage wobbled, and Long Yi lost his footing and almost fell under the carriage.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ye Ying immediately grabbed Long Yi's shoulder and said, "Be careful, Your Majesty."

"..." Long Yi's heart fell into his throat, he managed to stand still, and glared at Defu bitterly.

Defu lowered his eyebrows and listened, and said in the carriage: "The emperor forgives the sin, how dare the slave surpass the emperor."

Long Yi rolled his eyes, let Defu lie on the ground, and walked into the carriage on his own, poured a cup of tea, and cleared his voice just now: "Get up."

Telford got up and waited aside.

Long Yi stared at Feng Nan again.

Cheng Fengnan was carrying the medicine box, leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are only concerned about the Emperor's health, and they didn't mean to embarrass the Emperor on purpose."

Only then did Long Yi retract a pair of dragon eyes, and said to Nighthawk outside the curtain: "Nighthawk——"

He stretched out the word "Eagle" so long that even though the people outside were very skilled in martial arts, they couldn't help but feel guilty when they heard it, and said humbly: "I only listen to the emperor."

Only then did Long Yi sat up straight contentedly, shook his hands and said, "Quicken up for me, I will arrive at Jinnan Pass in three days!"

Once the emperor said, it was hard to catch up with four horses.Nighthawk got the emperor's order and tried his best to drive the horses.First, he had to ensure the speed, and second, he had to ensure that the carriage was stable so that the emperor could sit comfortably. After a day, he was actually sweating profusely.

It's just that when the emperor went out of the palace this time, few people knew about it, and he brought all his cronies with him. As far as the guards alone were concerned, he only brought Ye Ying with him.

It is a heavy responsibility to protect Shengjia, and he must take care of himself.

In the evening, the carriage arrived at an inn beside the official road.After finishing the things on the carriage, Ye Ying entered the inn with Long Yi.

There were several other tables in the inn, and Long Yi only picked out a clean table and chair to make it.

The waiter in the store came out to entertain, Defu explained a few words, and then stood behind Long Yi.

Nighthawk looked around for a week, and saw two people sitting not far from Long Yi's table, one tall and one short.Both of them were wearing hoods, which didn't reveal his original face.

Houtian Shadow Guard's intuition made Yeying frowned, and he lowered his head and whispered something in Long Yi's ear.

Only then did Long Yi look at those two people.On the table of the two of them were ordinary steamed buns with vegetables. Even when they were eating, the two of them did not take off the hood, but lifted the veil on the hood and put them into their mouths one by one.

Short people eat faster, which can be said to be voracious, while tall people eat slowly, which is gentle.

Long Yi also felt it was weird, looking at the sky outside was getting darker, he turned his head and asked, "How far is this from Jinnan Pass?"

Ye Ying said: "If we follow today's drive, it will take about a day and a half."

Hearing this, Long Yi's worries were all wiped away, he smiled happily, took the jug, filled a bowl himself, and said with a slight mouthful: "Then we won't stay in the inn today, and hurry up at night, I might as well go early See Xiao Su."

After he finished speaking, he ordered Defu to pack the food and prepare to leave again.

Defu complied naturally, and followed Long Yi with hot food in his hands.Cheng Fengnan also followed behind Long Yi, but his eyes were vaguely looking at the two figures, one tall and one short.

Then his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.

A group of people came and went in a hurry, but they spent a lot of money, and the innkeeper didn't care about anything.

After boarding the carriage, Nighthawk drove forward again.The carriage rumbled forward, and after about two hours, it was completely dark.After a while, Nighthawk only felt the cool touch from the air dripping on his face. Although his vision was blurry, he also expected that it should be raining at this time.

Not long after, the rain began to patter.

Lamp oil was burning in the carriage, flickering and flickering, shaking.

After driving for a day, Long Yi felt tired and exhausted even though he was sitting, so he fell sideways on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.Defu tried his best to help Long Yi pounce on the moths and bugs.Cheng Fengnan sat beside him silently.

Turning around in my mind for a few times, looking at the emperor's sleeping face, I still couldn't bring myself to talk about the strange things before.

While he was hesitating, the Nighthawk in front of him suddenly let out a "wheeze", as if he was reining in the reins, and it should be to stop the running flattery.The people in the carriage were caught off guard and jumped forward.

Long Yi was awakened instantly by the unexpected situation in the carriage, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he asked outside: "What's wrong?"

After asking this question, it took a while before Nighthawk replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, someone is blocking the way."

Long Yi frowned, opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw a figure standing in the dark, whose face was not clear, short in stature, but with a big head, it should be wearing a hood, it was the short man in the inn people.The place where he was standing was really a narrow road where the official road turned. This man held an iron rod and laid it across the road, firmly blocking the direction of Long Yi and others.

For some unknown reason, my heart tightened slightly.

Long Yi raised his voice and asked: "Can the brother in front borrow a way?"

He gathered his eyesight and looked directly at the figure in the darkness.

The figure shook his head and said nothing.

Nighthawk silently pressed the scabbard beside him.

Long Yi frowned and said again: "Brother, we are in a hurry, so please step aside."

The figure still didn't speak, and stood there motionless.

Long Yi's heart sank gradually, and just as he was about to speak, the short man suddenly moved.

The short man's speed was very fast, he almost swept across the ground, the iron rod dragged the ground, making a screeching sound, and in an instant he was in front of Long Yi, the stick hit the tiger with the wind, and slammed down.

Long Yi didn't expect this change, and his face suddenly paled.

One foot away from Long Yi's nose, a long sword stabbed obliquely in the stick, holding the iron stick and attacking.Nighthawk drank heavily, exerted force on his wrist, and pushed away the short man's iron rod.

At this moment, no matter how slow an ordinary person's reaction was, they knew someone was going to assassinate him. Defu and Cheng Fengnan hurried out of the carriage to protect Long Yi's surroundings.

After a few moves with the short man, Ye Ying felt that the other party's inner strength was deep, and he couldn't help secretly anxious. He glanced behind the carriage and saw a black shadow approaching like a ghost from the official road jungle. The speed was astonishingly fast, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up, here I'll handle it!"

Cheng Fengnan also saw that figure, guessed it should be the tall mysterious man seen in the inn, his heart sank, he quickly pulled the reins and said: "Your Majesty, sit still soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the whip rope and slapped the horse's buttocks hard.The horse was frightened in pain and ran wildly on the official road.

Seeing the carriage moving forward, the tall black shadow quickly stepped down, and rushed onto the back of the carriage with a "swoosh", the wind danced and danced, and Cheng Fengnan was so startled that he glanced back.

The four eyes met, the person in the hood watched Cheng Fengnan move slightly, his hands formed sharp claws, and grabbed Cheng Fengnan.

Cheng Fengnan hurriedly took out the medicine bag, before he had time to react, he just felt that he was being lifted up, thrown in the air, and smashed heavily into the grass next to the official road.

The grass was wet and covered with mud, Cheng Fengnan hurriedly struggled to get up, and staggered towards the direction of the carriage.

The black shadow dealt with Cheng Fengnan, and turned to raise the carriage curtain.As soon as he lifted the roller blind, someone hugged his legs. Defu held his trouser legs tightly and said, "Your majesty, your majesty, go!"

Long Yi's eyes darkened.

Hei Ying didn't care about Defu, drew a ladle with one hand, and grabbed Long Yi directly.

The power of his grasp is much stronger than the force of Cheng Fengnan's running and throwing before.Long Yi quickly touched the cloth strip behind the seat with his hands.There was only a two-foot-long handle in the cloth strip, and Long Yi pressed against the mechanism with the handle, and the handle suddenly exploded, revealing the sharp tip of the gun.

The black shadow seemed to know the weapon used by Long Yi, so he turned to avoid Long Yi's spear, and slashed at Long Yi's hand holding the gun.

The bottom of Long Yi's hand sank slightly, and he raised the tip of the spear up to the black shadow's jaw.Even if this challenge can't break the black shadow's throat, it will also lift the veil on the black shadow's head.

Fighting twice, the black shadow did not retreat, jumped up and broke through the roof of the carriage, like a night falcon spreading its wings, Defu couldn't help the black shadow's strength, grabbed the air, and fell to the ground.Taking advantage of the falling momentum, the black shadow swung a palm at Long Yi.

The rigor of the palm was mixed with pure and honest strength, blowing off Long Yi's clothes.Long Yi's eyes tightened suddenly, he jumped out of the car, and stabbed the black shadow's palm with his gun.

The black shadow's palm suddenly changed, and he grabbed the gun head. The two people collided with each other, and Long Yi only felt a sharp pain coming from his back, and the old wound broke out again.

He breathed slightly, but the black shadow seemed to have expected it. He swung his left palm violently. Long Yi held the gun in both hands, and slowly freed up a hand to block, but it was a step too late, and the black shadow hit Long Yi with one palm. chest.

This palm is full of his decades of cultivation, aiming to win with one blow.Long Yi let out a muffled snort, only to feel that his eyes were darkened, his whole body was thrown up vigorously, the spear was dropped from his hand, and he hit the ground heavily with others.

The rain was still falling drop by drop, wetting the ground.The black shadow fell to the ground and quietly glanced at the figure in the distance.

Long Yi fell on the ground, motionless and unresponsive.

In terms of the power of the palm just now, Long Yi would definitely die.

Hei Ying thought silently in his heart, and took a step forward, just waiting to verify whether Long Yi was dead.Between his legs, he heard someone shouting, "Don't move!"

The black shadow looked to one side, there was someone covered in mud, staring at him, panting.

He also stopped in his tracks.

"I have Wudusan on me..." Cheng Fengnan was not sure, walked to Long Yi, protected the emperor, and said pantingly: "You grabbed my clothes just now, and there are black marks on your hands. If the black marks spread If you don't die, you will be disabled. If you go back to force the poison now, there is still time."

Hei Ying looked at Cheng Fengnan and suddenly smiled.But with a hood and veil on his head, Cheng Fengnan couldn't see his smile.According to Cheng Fengnan's words, he looked at the palm, and there was indeed a vague black shadow.

When he saw the black shadow, he seemed to be seeing something more interesting. He smiled again, and looked at Cheng Fengnan again. Suddenly, his luck was light, and he let out a long cry, and hid in the jungle beside the official road.

Cheng Fengnan squeezed a layer of cold sweat in his hands, hurriedly squatted down, and helped Long Yi up.

Defu stumbled and ran over with a limp, and saw Long Yi closed his eyes and fell silently on Cheng Fengnan's arm, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, he couldn't help but turn pale and said, "Your Majesty!"

Cheng Fengnan shook his hands to take Long Yi's pulse. Long Yi, who was in a coma, twitched his hand suddenly, and spat out a mouthful of blood from one side of his body.

Defu hurriedly supported Long Yi's body and said, "Your Majesty, are you all right, Your Majesty?"

Long Yi coughed a few more times, adjusted his breathing a few times and said, "I'm not dead."

Defu didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, but there were tears rolling in his eyes.

Long Yi frowned uncomfortably, and added: "But I almost died."

"..." Defu's tears rolled faster.

Long Yi closed his eyes, didn't speak, just frowned.

Cheng Fengnan finally calmed down, took Long Yi's pulse carefully, frowned and said: "The emperor's palm hurt the internal organs, so I have to go back to Beijing for treatment."

Long Yi turned his head and remained silent.

Cheng Fengnan said: "Your Majesty, looking at the situation just now, those two people must know the Emperor, so they came to assassinate." He paused and said: "Our deeds have been exposed, and I'm afraid it will be more dangerous in the future."

Long Yi still didn't speak.

Cheng Fengnan remonstrated: "Jinnan Pass is the border, and it is extremely dangerous for the emperor to go here."

After he finished speaking, Long Yi opened his eyes and said after a long time: "Jinnan Pass is the border, it is indeed very dangerous."

Cheng Fengnan thought that Long Yi had changed his nature, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next sentence made the imperial doctor's heart hang again.

"But Xiao Su is there, I must go." Long Yi took a breath and said again.
