Xiao Langyan frowned slightly, seeming uncomfortable with the sudden attachment to the little guy.
Shen Dingzhu stepped forward and tried to pull the child back: "Chengcheng, don't yell."
Xiao Langyan did not agree to recognize the child, and Shen Dingzhu did not discuss it with him. If he didn't want Chengcheng, then of course she would take the child and fly away.
In this way, the little guy cannot be allowed to know who his biological father is casually.
Unexpectedly, Su Xincheng cried even harder, opening her little mouth and moaning.
Shen Dingzhu took a look and guessed that the child was too scared and she urgently needed a father figure to bear her uneasiness.
She was about to drag Su Xincheng back, but unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan bent down and picked up the little guy.
"I have said that good children should not cry easily. The tears of a daughter's family are even more precious. You have to cry for something worthwhile. It is a good thing to find your father. You shouldn't shed tears. Do you understand?"
His tone seemed distant, but also close. Su Xincheng listened to his words, nodded immediately, and wiped away her tears with her little chubby hand.
Although Shui Lingling's big eyes were still red, she had puffed up her cheeks: "Don't cry anymore, Chengcheng don't cry."
Shen Dingzhu did not expect that the usually naughty little guy would be willing to listen to Xiao Langyan.
At this moment, the sound of smoke horns suddenly came from not far away, and sudden explosions sounded in the air, twice in a row, which was especially ear-splitting in this deep mountain.
Su Xincheng shrank in Xiao Langyan's arms: "What is the sound?"
The expressions of the surrounding secret guards changed: "No, Your Majesty, please leave as soon as possible with your lower rank."
The smoke signal sounded once to report news, and twice to report danger. The other group of secret guards must have encountered those vicious assassins.
Xiao Langyan made a quick decision and ordered a secret guard to carry Chen Heng on his back and leave for now.
The remaining three secret guards covered his and Shen Dingzhu's retreat.
However, as soon as they climbed up to the top of the cave, they heard the sound of arrows piercing the air. Xiao Langyan stretched out his hand to pull Shen Dingzhu, and with his other hand, he suddenly hugged Su Xincheng tightly in his arms.
"Kill! The Dog Emperor is right there, kill him and avenge you!" Many figures of men in black emerged from the hillside, holding machetes and rushing towards Shen Dingzhu and the others.
The three secret guards did not hesitate and immediately waved their swords to stop him: "Your Majesty, please go!"
Xiao Langyan had a calm face and without hesitation, he turned to pull Shen Dingzhu, and the family of three walked quickly through the woods despite the rapid rain.
The sound of fighting behind him became louder and louder. Xiao Langyan thought for a while and handed Su Xincheng to Shen Dingzhu: "You take the child and leave first."
Shen Dingzhu's face turned pale: "Then what should you do?"
"Their target is me. With the three of us together, no one can escape." At this moment, Xiao Langyan's stern face was still sober and calm.
Unexpectedly, Su Xincheng was afraid, and tightly hooked Xiao Langyan's collar with her little hands: "Daddy, don't leave us, don't leave us!"
The little guy's face turned pale with fright, and his little body was shaking pitifully.
Shen Dingzhu gritted his teeth and said immediately: "No, the emperor will take Chengcheng away, and I will lead them away wearing your clothes."
Xiao Langyan's eyes were as bright as fire and he immediately shouted angrily: "Nonsense! As a woman, how can you distract the assassin?"
"It's precisely because I'm a woman that they won't continue to chase me when they find out it's not you. Moreover, I'm absolutely sure to escape." Shen Dingzhu pointed to the fork in the path not far ahead. "When I had no money before, I would often Come to the mountains to pick game, and I know the mountainous terrain to the south."
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were filled with anger, and the rain made his clothes darken, just like the frost in his eyes: "I don't agree."
"There's no time!" Shen Dingzhu looked back and hurriedly pushed Xiao Langyan, "Chengcheng is following the emperor, I don't have to worry."
After saying that, she lifted his leather robe over her head and ran towards the other side of the mountain.
The group of men in black fighting with the secret guards saw the back of "Xiao Langyan" and immediately separated into several people: "Chase! The Dog Emperor ran that way!"
Su Xincheng cried and stretched out her little hand: "Mother..."
Xiao Langyan covered her small mouth. His red and cold eyes glanced at the direction Shen Dingzhu left. Then, he hugged Su Xincheng and left without looking back.
Shen Dingzhu didn't lie to him. When she had no money, in order to fill her stomach, she came to the south of the back mountain every day to pick wild fruits and vegetables.
However, she was only familiar with the section of road ahead. The woods here were dense, and she lost her sense of direction as she ran.
Shen Dingzhu found a suitable opportunity, threw Xiao Langyan's robe away, hung it on the bushes nearby, and then she ran away in another direction.
However, the assassins were not stupid. After a few steps, they found no footprints on the muddy ground. They knew they were being tricked, so they immediately changed direction and chased after him quickly!
Shen Dingzhu was chased by the three assassins. She heard the movement behind her but did not dare to stop. However, one of the assassins shot her in the calf with a stone!
"Ah!" Shen Dingzhu screamed in pain and immediately fell to the ground. Seeing that she couldn't escape, she dug into the muddy soil with her fingers and smeared it on her face randomly.
The assassin caught up with him, took a closer look, and yelled angrily: "It's a woman who's so confused!"
"No, this woman has been following the Dog Emperor just now. Her identity is not simple!"
Shen Dingzhu begged for mercy: "My lords, please do well. I am a girl from a good family in Nanzhou City. I don't know the dog emperor you call me. Just now, that lord held me hostage and forced me to run away from here wearing his robe." , I sincerely ask you to let me live."
The assassins looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
"It turned out to be a cover-up. The Dog Emperor is really cunning!" One of them tugged on the clothes of his accomplice, "Let's go after the Dog Emperor. This is an excellent opportunity and we can't let him get away!"
The three of them were about to leave, but one of them, a tough man, waved his hand: "Wait!"
The other two people were wondering: "What's wrong?"
They followed the man's narrowed eyes and looked at Shen Dingzhu again.
The rain was so heavy that half of the mud that had just been applied to her face was washed away.
Although there is still mud under the mouth and nose, the upper half of the face has already revealed its natural and beautiful appearance.
The black eyebrows, Sai Xue's skin, and the pair of frightened eyes like a deer were shining with water.
The clothes on her body were soaked through and clung tightly to her curvy figure.
"She is a beauty! Her identity is definitely not simple. If we take her back, if she is not one of that dog emperor's people, it will not be a loss for us to ruin her!" After the tough man said roughly, his big rough hands moved toward Catch Shen Dingzhu.
Sudden!
A sharp arrow came through the air and pierced the man's palm quickly and accurately!
The man was in pain: "Ah!" He screamed repeatedly.
The other two accomplices turned around suddenly. Unexpectedly, the man behind them fired two arrows at once. Before they could react, he was shot through the chest.
Shen Dingzhu hurriedly hid aside and looked forward.
Xiao Langyan's tall and tall figure, holding a bow and arrow, walked over like a cold-faced Shura.
