my princess boy

"Be careful!" At the very moment, Ling Xuetang hugged Mu Xianyi and hid to the side, narrowly dodging the leader's dagger, but the next moment, the man's dagger stabbed at the two of them again!

Ling Xuetang didn't have a weapon in her hand, so in desperation, she could only take Mu Xianyi to dodge like a revolving lantern.

"Protect the princess consort!"

All the guards around, including the hidden guards around Ling Xuetang and Mu Xianyi, came forward to support them, and the common people scattered screaming, and the scene became chaotic.

Mu Xianyi saw that the man in the lead seemed like a ghost that couldn't be shaken off. Surrounded by two or three hidden guards, he was able to withdraw to assassinate him. Fortunately, Ling Xuetang had already received a knife from the guards and blocked it several times. The man's attack.

"Princess, son-in-law, come in quickly!"

Someone from behind shouted at the two of them.

Ling Xuetang was about to take Mu Xianyi away from the temple, but found that Mu Xianyi grabbed him:

"My son-in-law, that child, hurry up and save that child!"

It turned out that there was a ragged child not far away, about eleven or twelve years old, who was running around in the chaotic crowd in a panic. The troublesome assassin almost cut him down several times, the situation was extremely dangerous!

The assassin came in a menacing manner, well prepared, and highly skilled in martial arts. On one side was Mu Xianyi and on the other was an innocent child. Ling Xuetang was full of hesitation. He looked at Mu Xianyi, gritted his teeth, pushed him into a corner, and threw down a sentence: :

"wait for me!"

Then he went to kill in the chaos without looking back!

Mu Xianyi grabbed the door frame in the corner with both hands, and looked anxiously at Ling Xuetang, only to see him charge all the way in, then jump to the child's side in three steps at a time, clamp him around his waist, and lead him back to the door again. kill back.

He was slightly relieved when he suddenly heard a sharp "Mu Xianyi, die!" Following the sound, he saw that the leader of the big man got rid of the guards' encirclement with extraordinary agility, pointing his toes towards him. Come on!

Mu Xianyi's mind was blank, his eyes were wide open, and he saw that the big man was like a mountain, getting bigger and bigger and getting closer to him, but he seemed to be frozen, watching him Raise the dagger at yourself!

"puff--"

The sound of a sword sinking into flesh.

The tall assassin was stunned, and then fell to the ground like a mountain collapsing, revealing a familiar face behind him:

"Mother, I killed someone!" Lou Yuzhang held the sword in his hand, looked at the big man on the ground, his face was full of surprise and stunned.

At this moment, Ling Xuetang with the child rushed over and shouted, "Get back inside!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Mu Xianyi up and walked into the temple.

"Cousin, go!" Mu Xianyi did not forget to call Lou Yuzhang up while walking, and Lou Yuzhang seemed to wake up from a start, and ran in quickly.

After entering the temple, as soon as Ling Xuetang put down the child, she stepped forward to check on Mu Xianyi: "Is the princess alright?"

"I'm fine..." Mu Xianyi quickly shook his head, and said, "It's strange to ask them to keep alive!"

"Yeah!" Ling Xuetang nodded, and was about to go out when his bodyguard walked in and told him:

"Master, all the assassins are dead, there are six assassins in total, four were killed, and the remaining two committed suicide by taking poison."

Ling Xuetang tightly frowned, and her complexion became gloomy: "Well-trained, strong martial arts, comparable to you and me, and after the defeat, he took poison and committed suicide. It can be seen that it was not ordinary people who made trouble, it was clearly a killer pretending to be a civilian to assassinate This matter." He paused, and looked at his subordinates sharply, "Move these corpses back first, check carefully, and we must find clues!"

Mu Xianyi, who was listening from behind, came up and said in a low voice: "If such a big incident happened, Li Jing, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, will definitely come over. I will go back to the mansion in a carriage first, and you will say that I was very frightened. Crying and crying is very angry, he is afraid of taking responsibility, and the six corpses will not ask us immediately."

Ling Xuetang nodded: "Okay, I'll let the hidden guards escort you back, be careful on your way, and I'll take care of the aftermath." Then, she solemnly said to Lou Yuzhang, "Yuzhang, the princess is begging you."

Lou Yuzhang was still in a trance, but after hearing Ling Xuetang's words, he cheered up and nodded seriously: "We must protect him!"

Mu Xianyi turned to leave, but unexpectedly the cloak was caught. He looked back and saw the child that Ling Xuetang saved just now was looking at him earnestly and stubbornly with a dirty face, he was taken aback, and said : "Little brother, you are safe now, go back and find your parents!"

The child quickly shook his head: "I don't have parents."

Mu Xianyi was taken aback again, thinking that there were many orphans among the people who came to receive the porridge and clothes, and this child must be the same, so he said: "Forget it, then you go back with us first, you sit outside the carriage, and go with the driver, that's good ?”

The boy nodded, still looking serious like a little adult.

The three of them got into the carriage, Mu Xianyi looked solemnly at the void not far away, and Lou Yuzhang beside him muttered:

"It really scared me to death. I actually killed someone. Although this man is an assassin, I always feel scared. I'm going to have nightmares when I sleep tonight... Mother, I still have his blood on my hand!"

Mu Xianyi turned her head to see him wiping the blood on his hands with a sweat towel, amused and grateful, and said, "Why did you come suddenly? You came in such a timely manner? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't die today, There will be blood too."

"Hey, I just have nothing to do. I heard from my father that you and Ling Xuetang are here to give away porridge and donate clothes. I thought it would be fun, so I ran to take a look. It happened that I saw an assassin come out. Seeing that you are dangerous, I also I didn't care about that much anymore, so I ran up quickly and drew my sword and stabbed... Well, I didn't think about it that much at the time, and I didn't even think about killing him..." Lou Yuzhang was still brooding about his murder, and said in a low voice. With his head down, he kept wiping his other hand with a sweat towel in one hand.

Seeing this, Mu Xianyi comforted him and said: "Don't be afraid, he is an assassin, he deserves to die, you are killing harm for the people, you are a great hero, you should be commended."

"Hey, is that right?" Lou Yuzhang scratched his head with a smirk, and asked again, "By the way, who are those people, and why did they have to kill you?"

Hearing this, Mu Xianyi's eyes turned cold, and he said, "I don't know, but it's not without people I offended. It's not impossible for them to hate me to the bone and want to kill me."

Mu Jingyuan, for example, always believed that his sister Mu Yinqi's death was inextricably related to him, so it's okay to hold a grudge and want to take the opportunity to kill himself.

It's just, is Mu Jingyuan, or the slain soldier of Prince Qi's mansion, so powerful in martial arts?Moreover, with such careful planning and such well-trained soldiers, he always felt that it was not like Mu Jingyuan's behavior style.

Maybe after Ling Xuetang inspected those corpses, he could speculate on who really wanted to kill him.
