The two got married much earlier than in the previous life, and perhaps it was not the time for the murderer to take action.

However, this is always a hidden danger.

If you don't do anything when you get married, sooner or later the day will come.

After Li Qingyi was reborn, he recalled what happened on their wedding day over and over again, but he still couldn't think of any clues.

After all, as a newlywed, she had her head covered from beginning to end and knew very little about what happened that day.

So the purpose of her asking Qin Zeng was to learn about some suspicious people from him and give her some hints.

However, Qin Zeng just said: "Leave everything to me, you can just sit back and get married."

Seeing that the Golden Crow was hanging down and about to fall behind the mountain, Li Qingyi had no choice but to temporarily put aside the idea of ​​asking more questions, and went down the mountain with Qin Zeng to find Princess Yuanheng and return home.

Qin Zeng held Li Qingyi in his arms all the way down the mountain. Princess Yuanheng knew that Qin Zeng was not actually a eunuch, and she had different ideas from the Ruan family. When she saw this, she wanted the two of them to cultivate their relationship, so she asked Li Qingyi to sit with Qin Zeng in a car. Carriage, discuss and see if there is anything that is not thoughtful before getting married.

Li Qingyi indeed had something to say to Qin Zeng, so he had no objection.

The two got on the carriage, but Princess Yuanheng remembered something and stopped them.

Li Qingyi reached out and opened the car curtain, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Princess Yuanheng smiled and said, "I have something to give you."

She didn't let the girl do it for her. She stepped on the pedals and stood under the carriage. She leaned over and handed a palm-sized brocade box to Li Qingyi and said, "This is the talisman I asked the master in the temple for when you went up the mountain just now." , it is said that it is very effective for newlyweds to carry and can wish you all happiness."

Li Qingyi knew that Princess Yuanheng always wanted to do something for her, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

She reached out to take it and opened the brocade box.

Before I could see what it was, there was light flashing in the cracks of the brocade box.

"careful!"

Qin Zeng is such a smart person. The moment he saw the light flashing in the box, he had already grabbed the cloak at hand to block it and threw it towards the brocade box!

However, some of the fine needles had already burst out of the gap in the box with a slight flow of air, making a soft chirping sound. As the brocade box was opened, a gust of wind filled the entire carriage.

Fortunately, Qin Zeng's cloak wrapped the box, and the front part of the remaining fine needle was shot into it. Otherwise, at such a close distance and in such a small space, the two of them would have been stabbed all over their heads and faces. .

Qin Zeng raised his hand and pulled out the needle that was stuck in his hand. He looked up to see Princess Yuanheng and saw that her left arm was densely embedded with a dozen fine silver needles. ap.

Li Qingyi also saw it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mother!"

At that time, because she wanted to show Qin Zeng the talismans in the brocade box, she brought the box close to Qin Zeng and sat sideways. The fine needles did not hit her, but hit the man sitting on her left. Qin Zeng, and Princess Yuanheng, who was standing on the carriage shaft on the right and talking to her.

Princess Yuanheng's eyes had begun to wander, and she fell straight down from the shaft of the car. Fortunately, Chang Lan reacted quickly and helped her immediately.

"Get out of the car first!"

Qin Zeng jumped off the carriage with Li Qingyi and commanded in a deep voice: "Changshan and Changze, form an formation to cover!"

The dusk clouds are hanging low, and there are waves of pine trees in the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, screams were heard from all around, and arrows shot through the air with a piercing scream, shooting towards them like raindrops!

The carriage that Qin Zeng and Li Qingyi were riding in was instantly turned into a sieve!

Li Qingyi's face turned pale.

If Qin Zeng hadn't led her to jump off the carriage in advance, she might have been turned into a hedgehog at this time.

The escort servants brought by Princess Yuanheng had long been in disarray. They were either pierced by an arrow or broke up and fled. The scene was extremely chaotic.

After all, Dongchang's guards were well-trained. Under the command of Nagasawa and others, they responded in a matter of seconds, using the surrounding areas as cover to look for opportunities to counterattack.

The arrows from the opposite side were still being fired at them. The horses were the first to suffer as their targets were too large, and they hissed in pain.

Li Qingyi followed Qin Zeng and hid behind the carriage. From time to time, stray arrows passed over their heads and ears. She looked at Princess Yuanheng worriedly, "What should I do? She must have been poisoned."

Changlan looked solemn and said: "When the princess asked the eminent monk for the magic talisman just now, the servant was always following her. She saw the magic talisman put into the brocade box with her own eyes. How could it become a hidden weapon?"

Chang Ning said: "The eminent monk handed the brocade box to the young novice beside him, who then handed it to the princess. It is very likely that he exchanged the brocade box!"

Obviously, this was a premeditated assassination!

Qin Zeng was only hit by one needle, and he had internal power to protect his body, so he had not had an attack yet. However, Princess Yuanheng was unable to restrain a chicken and was hit by more than a dozen poisonous needles in a row. She didn't know how long she could last.

Qin Zeng took out a pill from his arms and gave it to Princess Yuanheng, "It can temporarily protect her heart."

"And you?"

"Only one."

Li Qingyi bit his lip and looked at what was going on outside the encirclement.

Although the Dongchang guards had rich experience in fighting the enemy, they were ultimately unable to withstand the successive premeditated plots and ambushes, and gradually fell into a weak position.

Qin Zeng whispered: "Spot the opportunity soon and follow me on horseback to break out from the southeast."

Li Qingyi raised his head and glanced, "How can we break through such a dense arrow attack?"

"The opponent uses a nine-repeated crossbow. Each shot has three arrows. After nine consecutive shots, twenty-seven arrows need to be filled in one breath. Although the opponent takes turns holding the crossbow to fire, their movements are inevitably fast and slow, especially in the southeast. The direction and cooperation are a bit poor."

Chang Ning added from the side: "The arrows used by the Nine Repeating Crossbows are much more serious than ordinary arrows. One of them weighs half a pound. They can't carry much weight!"

Li Qingyi understood.

With limited replenishment, according to the opponent's intensive offensive, gaps will soon appear, and then it will be their time to break out!

Sure enough, not long after, the opponent's attack density suddenly dropped, and Nagayama Nagasawa immediately mounted his horse and signaled a breakout.

Li Qingyi quickly climbed onto a horse that was still alive. Fortunately, the injury on his leg was mostly healed, and there was no need for Qin Zeng to take her on a horse. Otherwise, if the two of them rode together, their speed would inevitably slow down, making it more difficult to escape.

Princess Yuanheng has also been helped onto the horse, lying face down on the horse, being led by Chang Lan.

Qin Zeng's horse leaped forward, Qin Zeng turned over and led everyone to rush toward the southeast.

The opponent obviously didn't expect them to be so bold and choose to break out so quickly. Most of them were still filling their crossbows, and their hasty defense seemed vulnerable to the fierce offensive of everyone in the East Factory.

After the first group of people who blocked their way were chopped down by Nagasawa and others, the people behind them who held up their swords to stop them felt frightened, and for a moment they shrank and hesitated before being trampled under their feet by the horses that broke through, and screamed in agony.

Qin Zeng took the lead, and the others surrounded Li Qingyi and others. Dozens of people broke through the encirclement and ran towards the front.

But the sound of the pursuer's hooves was heard immediately behind him!
