The Ninth Prince and Yan Jiaojiao's suddenly widened eyes reflected a splatter of blood.
Princess Cheng landed on the ground, and under the sharp tip of the knife, blood slowly dripped to the ground along the blade.
An assassin falls.
【sky! 】
[Godmother’s strength is worth it! 】
Seeing the dashing figure of Princess Cheng confronting the assassin with two swords in hand, Yan Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with stars.
"No wonder Uncle Wang keeps saying that the most skilled person in Wu Dinghou's house is not Wu Dinghou nor the Crown Prince, but Aunt Wang. I thought he was bragging before."
The Ninth Prince murmured softly.
No wonder Princess Cheng was so angry that the entire palace was trembling with fear.
Princess Cheng's sudden move meant that in addition to her really good skills, she also had the upper hand.
The assassins on the opposite side were all masters, but Princess Cheng did not dare to be careless.
After a moment of silence, the two sides fought again.
Princess Cheng held the assassin's sword with both swords and shouted: "Wait until A Ze and Jiao Jiao leave!"
Just when the coachman waved his whip and was about to turn the carriage, a sword light suddenly appeared like a crack in the sky.
The driver didn't have time to react, and a line of blood appeared on his neck.
In an instant, he fell down clutching his neck.
The Ninth Prince and Yan Jiaojiao only had time to see a black figure, and then the sword pointed sharply and stabbed into the car.
The Ninth Prince was small and agile. The moment he saw the coachman's death, he hugged Yan Jiaojiao tightly. He rolled down from his seat regardless of his appearance and narrowly avoided the swift sword of the man in black.
【ah! 】
Yan Jiaojiao was frightened and moved at the same time, and tears fell untimely.
On the one hand, it was the first time to face such a momentous matter of life and death, and I was really scared.
On the other hand, being moved by such a moment, the Ninth Prince not only did not lift himself up as a shield, but even used his body to protect himself behind him!
What's this?
This is the savior!
Never call the Ninth Prince a little green tea again!
In his wild thoughts, the black-clothed assassin's sword light struck again.
This time, the two people in the car were unable to escape.
As soon as the Ninth Prince closed his eyes, he heard only a clanking sound and a sharp metal collision.
The man in black's sword was missed by an arrow.
Immediately afterwards, several more arrows shot through the sky with fierce murderous intent.
The man in black waved his sword to block.
The manpower of the archer was extremely powerful, and he shot nine arrows in a row, forcing the man in black to take a few steps back and stand still.
The next moment, the archer had abandoned his long bow, stepped forward with a heavy sword in his hand, and fought with the assassin in black.
[Okay, so scary...]
After recovering from the shock, Yan Jiaojiao bit her lip and tried hard not to cry.
When her life was at stake, she couldn't help, but at least she couldn't hold him back.
The Ninth Prince also calmed down, first put down Yan Jiaojiao, then shook his hands to support the carriage and turned around, then blocked Yan Jiaojiao behind him - he was really weak-handed, so he simply sat at the bottom of the carriage. He looked outside the car with lingering fear.
At this time, another assassin in gray was killed by Princess Cheng.
The other two people saw that something was not good, whistled in their mouths, turned around and rushed away quickly.
On the other hand, the assassin in black and the master who appeared later had passed thirty or forty moves in the blink of an eye.
The two were on par, and the assassin in black had no chance.
Without further entanglement, he flew out a hidden weapon from his sleeve, and while the opponent was dodging, it flew away like a breeze.
In the blink of an eye, only the bodies of the guards and the two assassins were left scattered on the mountain road, as well as the blood that spread out.
"The general's rescue came too late, please forgive me, Your Highness, Ninth Prince!"
The master who had just fought against the assassin in black bowed in front of the carriage.
Before the Ninth Prince could speak, there was a howl of ghosts and wolves outside.
"My beloved concubine!"
King Cheng shook off the people behind him and rushed to Princess Cheng. He put his hands on Princess Cheng's arms and looked up and down carefully.
Seeing that there were no wounds on Princess Cheng's body, and presumably the bloodstains on her clothes were from others, King Cheng felt relieved.
Turning his eyes, he saw the body of an assassin in gray at the feet of Princess Cheng.
There was a stab wound in front of the assassin's body, diagonally from his left shoulder to his lower right abdomen. Half of his body was stained with blood.
You can even vaguely see the assassin's organs flowing out from the wound.
King Cheng: "..."
He rolled his eyelids and fell down.
Princess Cheng reluctantly caught her husband and ordered the guards who followed, "Carry the prince to the carriage."
The guards rushed King Cheng to the carriage.
The Ninth Prince and Yan Jiaojiao looked at the bleeding and unconscious King Cheng with four eyes, and they were both speechless.
The two children were still alive when His Highness the Prince passed over first!
The Ninth Prince did not pay too much attention to his uncle. Instead, he nodded to the expert outside the car and raised his hand to support him. "General, there is no need to be polite. I also want to thank the general for saving his life."
"The general's responsibility lies with me. I dare not express my gratitude as His Highness."
"I have long heard that General Wei is brave and invincible. When I saw him today, he truly lived up to his reputation."
Princess Cheng put away her swords and walked over to praise, her phoenix eyes filled with admiration for General Wei.
General Wei handed over his hand and said, "The princess is a majestic woman, Wei admires her."
This place is really not a place for exchanging compliments and greetings.
General Wei invited Princess Cheng into the carriage, arranged for his personal guards to collect the bodies of the guards and assassins on the roadside, and personally escorted Princess Cheng and others back to the city.
[This General Wei looks so powerful! 】
With the danger gone, Yan Jiaojiao's little mind finally started to become active again.
【Majestic appearance and mighty appearance. Who is he? 】
[If the second brother can become his disciple, he will definitely be able to practice martial arts well and get what he wants! 】
The Ninth Prince blinked.
"Aunt Wang, your kung fu is getting better and better!"
The Ninth Prince praised.
While Princess Cheng was feeling relieved for Prince Cheng, she snorted, "You almost fell to the sword. Where did I improve?"
Princess Cheng couldn't help but feel scared when she thought of the assassin in black who just seemed to fall from the sky, stabbing the car with a thunderous sword with cold light.
If the Ninth Prince really had a problem, she wouldn't be alive!
The Ninth Prince chuckled, "My nephew is wearing gold silk armor."
Yan Jiaojiao: "?"
【What do you mean? 】
[Did you know in advance that someone was going to assassinate you and make preparations in advance? 】
After thinking for a moment, Yan Jiaojiao understood.
No wonder there are two swords hidden in Princess Cheng's carriage. When the Ninth Prince's life was hanging by a thread, General Wei descended from heaven.
And here we just repelled the assassins, but over there King Cheng led his men and rushed out...
[Good guys, you knew there was an assassin and you brought me out! 】
The slight feeling of being moved by the Ninth Prince protecting her disappeared in an instant.
【So angry! 】
[Ignore Godmother and the Ninth Prince anymore! 】
Yan Jiaojiao hummed twice and turned his head to the side.
King Cheng also woke up at this moment. Seeing his wife beside him, his eyes were red, "My beloved concubine!"
She was too weak to take care of herself and tilted her head on Princess Cheng.
"Sit down!"
Princess Cheng pushed her husband away. However, looking at his aggrieved little eyes, I still couldn't bear it, and gently held Cheng Wang's hand, "Your Majesty is here for me, I am very happy."
King Cheng was happy and sat up straight, his brows filled with the majesty that a prince should have, "My princess is the most amazing woman in the world!"
The Ninth Prince simply lost his sight.
He coughed twice, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, who is the general who just saved me?"
Yan Jiaojiao pricked up his ears.
King Cheng was relieved when he saw that his nephew was fine, so he simply sat at the bottom of the carriage with his princess and nephew.
"That is General Zhaoyong Wei Zhao. He was born in Zhongyongbo Mansion and is the brother of the virtuous concubine in the palace."
The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "He's the Second Emperor's uncle..."
The virtuous concubine in the palace was still the concubine when his father was the prince.
Relying on her family background and the second prince, the Concubine Xian often made things difficult for Empress Xu secretly.
King Cheng showed a mysterious smile, stretched out the index finger of his right hand and shook it, "This General Wei does not have a good relationship with the Zhongyong Mansion. He and Concubine Xian... are not enemies, but they are close to each other."
[Sounds like a high-ranking person! 】
The Ninth Prince hurriedly asked, "What's the reason for this?"
