Yang Hua raised his chin and scanned the black-clothed killers with his dazzling eyes. His calm and gorgeous aura shocked everyone present.
Liu Boxuan raised the spear in his hand and forced back the man in black who used the smashing weapon. He also took a few steps back and stood on Xiao Yu's side, but he kept a certain distance from the others.
Liu Boxuan had never seen Yang Hua. He just looked at this handsome and handsome man with a critical look.
"Who are you?" a man in black asked.
Yang Hua pointed at the man with the long spear in his hand: "If you want to fight, then fight, why bother?"
Without knowing the details of the other party, no one is willing to risk their lives to test the true strength of this man with a huge aura.
The two sides were confronting each other, and a burst of neat footsteps was heard from both ends of the street.
Those should be the soldiers of the Fifth Guards Army who are rushing here. It is estimated that the news of the eldest princess's distress has spread throughout the capital.
At this time, there is less and less time left for the killer in black.
If they don't retreat immediately, they are likely to become turtles in the urn.
At this moment, a man in black suddenly stood up. He hugged his fist and said in a sad tone: "Everyone, the opportunity is fleeting, and I will leave my mother to you."
Before anyone else could react, the man showed off two short-handled steel forks, stood up, and rushed towards Xiao Yuwan.
Xiao Yu was shocked. He wanted to support his body and stand up, but Xiao Yuwan gently comforted him not to move.
Xiao Yuwan, on the other hand, was completely calm, sitting on the ground, seemingly looking down on life and death.
Then Yang Hua suddenly shouted:
"You are looking for death!"
The long spear in his hand stabbed out like a swimming dragon, piercing the black-clothed killer's back exactly, but the man didn't even make a sound, and his body went limp.
Before everyone could realize how he did it, Yang Hua suddenly swung the long stick to the ground on the other side with one hand. The person who was stabbed by the sharp stick drew a semicircle in the air with the long stick. Then he fell heavily to the ground, making a big hole in the hard ground.
The black-clothed assassin's liver and intestines were severed and his body was shattered into pieces on the spot.
Everyone present was shocked.
Such an unparalleled young master has such incredible physical strength, which makes people speechless.
"Let's go!" A man in black raised his hands and said angrily.
Yang Hua glanced at the man and said coldly: "Aren't you going to take him with you?"
After hearing this, the man in black cupped his hands, and together with another companion, they took the shattered body with them, and the six of them disappeared into the vast night.
At this time, the street finally returned to calm, and the wooden buildings on both sides of the road were still burning, illuminating the street.
Xiao Yu felt a little inappropriate, and he struggled to sit up from Xiao Yuwan's lap.
But if he exerts a little force, the bone-chilling pain in his left shoulder will increase a bit.
And bright red blood continued to gush out from his wound, soon soaking half of his body.
"Brother Yu, don't move." Xiao Yuwan's eyes were filled with sadness.
The situation was decided, and an indescribable sleepiness and weakness suddenly swept through Xiao Yu's body.
But he still joked as usual: "It's not good for the princess's reputation if I lie on her lap like this."
Xiao Yuwan shook her head gently. She pulled hard and tore off several feet of cloth strips from the hem of her skirt. She balled them up and pressed them on the wound to stop Xiao Yu's bleeding.
Seeing this scene, Liu Boxuan also came over to check on Xiao Yu's injury, but he had always been as cold as ice to Xiao Yuwan.
Xiao Yuwan talked to him, but he ignored her at all.
He took away the ball of silk cloth that Xiao Yuwan used to compress and stop the bleeding, carefully observed the wound, took out a bottle of golden wound medicine powder from his arms, and poured it carefully on the wound.
He took out another roll of bandages from his arms and bandaged Xiao Yu carefully.
"Your Majesty, as your uncle, I have not fulfilled my duty of guardianship, and I really feel unworthy of the prince's trust. But the current situation is turbulent, and your Majesty should protect yourself. Why bother to drown in other families' muddy waters?"
Uncle Liu's words contained a lot of disrespect for Xiao Yuwan, but Xiao Yuwan just watched from the side without saying a word.
Xiao Yu was attentive and smiled apologetically at Xiao Yuwan.
Xiao Yuwan nodded, indicating that she didn't care at all.
At this moment, a belated group of officers and soldiers from the Fifth Guards finally appeared in everyone's sight.
Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, it was just like filming a movie. The gangsters were subdued and the police arrived late. What's the point?
I saw hundreds of soldiers kneeling down in front of Xiao Yuwan. The leading officer just said the same old thing again: The princess is frightened, and the humble minister is late, please forgive me.
Xiao Yuwan was sitting upright. Even though she was at the scene of the fire, she still maintained royal etiquette. She just said some polite words such as "I am fine and all the officers and soldiers are working hard."
The leading officer suddenly looked up and saw Liu Boxuan.
I guess he knew Liu Boxuan, but I heard him shout loudly:
"Boldly rebel against a thief and be captured without hesitation!"
Liu Boxuan pretended not to hear, stood up and bowed in the direction of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuwan.
He picked up the spear and left as if there was no one around.
The officer shouted again: "How dare you rebel against a thief! How dare you despise me! Come on! Get me!"
All the soldiers agreed and pointed their spears at Liu Boxuan.
At this moment, a bright long spear suddenly pressed against the goggles on the officer's chest.
The officer glanced sideways and saw that the person pressing against his chest was a handsome and graceful man.
It is said that the eldest princess's consort, Captain Pan Duo, is a first-class beauty. Could this be Pan's consort?
The officer grinned dryly and said: "Prince-in-law... what is the prince-in-law doing..."
Yang Hua did not explain: "I advise your men not to move. If this brother is really angry, even a hundred more won't be of any use."
This sentence was heard by Liu Boxuan who had walked more than ten steps. He stopped and turned around to salute Yang Hua.
Yang Hua's face was as dark as water, and he nodded slightly in return.
Looking at Liu Boxuan's retreating figure, Xiao Yu felt a touch of bitterness in his heart.
He is really old, and it is difficult for him to be as handsome and vigorous as before.
Gradually, Liu Shishu's back disappeared into the black night fog, leaving no trace. I don't know when and what month they will meet again.
After Liu Boxuan left, Yang Hua took back his long hair and returned to Xiao Yuwan. Only then did he look at Xiao Yu.
The officer hurriedly followed behind Yang Hua and held up his hands with a flattering look on his face: "The Prince Consort doesn't know something. The thief is Liu Boxuan, the wanted criminal by Your Majesty. Today, the thief came to assassinate the princess. We and other soldiers will use their lives properly." To repay the emperor and princess, how can we let her go so easily?"
Yang Hua turned around, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Captain Prince Consort? Are you calling me?"
"Exactly, the last general is..."
"I don't care who you are, how can the Prince Consort scream while Her Highness the Princess is watching?"
The officer raised his eyes slightly and saw Princess Yongning looking at him seriously, and his heart pounded.
Yang Hua turned half of his body and raised his hand towards the officer: "I am Yang Hua from Wudu. I am the guest of the princess palace."
The officer's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly knelt down to Xiao Yuwan, kowtowing vigorously, and told that it was not his intention to let the assassin Liu Boxuan go.
Xiao Yu found it funny, and the officer shouted to catch the assassin. He still didn't know what the assassin looked like.
He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Yuwan. Princess Yongning was still sitting like a stone statue with an expressionless face. He didn't know how she could hold her nerve.
Xiao Yu saw that the officer looked familiar, and suddenly he remembered the officer he met not long ago.
He opened his mouth and asked: "The general's surname, have we ever met him?"
The officer rolled his eyes again. He didn't dare to raise his head, but just rolled his eyelids upward.
I saw a young handsome man lying on the beauty's lap. His face was haggard and he looked a little weak. The left half of his body was stained with blood, as if he had been seriously injured.
Apart from the emperor, the only one who can lie on the lap of the most noble eldest princess in the Da Qi Empire is the prince consort!
Could it be that this handsome young man is the Prince Consort? But his appearance is obviously not as handsome as that of the court guest named Yang Hua.
"The last general, Wang Yingde, pays homage to the Prince Consort."
But he didn't expect that Xiao Yuwan would actually smile after he finished his obeisance.
When Wang Yingde saw Princess Yongning smiling, he felt secretly happy.
"The last general is a member of the Zuowei Army. His ancestors are from the Wang family in Taiyuan. Our ancestors also came to Jiankang when they were traveling south. They also served as officials in the previous dynasty. In my generation, they only joined the military academy. As for the prince consort, The captain said whether he had seen him before, but the general couldn't remember it for a while."
Xiao Yu did not correct him. He secretly looked up at Xiao Yuwan. Xiao Yuwan was suppressing a smile and glanced at him from time to time.
"Oh, just now."
"just?"
Wang Yingde's waist suddenly straightened up a bit, and he boldly looked up at Xiao Yu.
"You forgot, I asked you to find a few people to accompany me to rescue the princess, and you pushed me and said you were not free. Have you forgotten?"
Wang Yingde was suddenly startled and began to kowtow to Xiao Yu as if he was pounding garlic.
Xiao Yu still tried his best to hold back his smile: "Well, if you refused to come to rescue the princess, that was your dereliction of duty; then you brought the troops here again, so you have merit, and your merits and demerits are equal to each other! Don't do this in the future. Let me mention it again, including your meeting with Liu Boxuan. You must know that I am doing this for your own good. If this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor, His Majesty will not look at how many achievements you have made in the past. Just your rejection of this prince-in-law will be a serious crime. It’s enough for your whole family to move three thousand miles away, no, it may be from the Yi tribe.”
Wang Yingde's body trembled, his head subconsciously shrank back, and he quickly bowed his head to thank him.
Xiao Yuwan shook her head helplessly. For the first time, she felt that her cousin really had too many evil thoughts.
He didn't want to worry too much about when Xiao Yu had his awakening. After all, she liked the current Xiao Yu.
In addition, she has some other considerations, but whether they can take shape is another matter later.
Just as she was thinking of this, Xiao Yuwan heard another burst of scattered footsteps behind her.
I saw a golden-armored general rushing out of the night fog with more than a dozen guards. Most of them were defeated.
They bowed their heads when they saw Xiao Yuwan and Xiao Yu.
"Meet the eldest princess and the prince of Jiangxia."
The kneeling Jinjia General is Pei Zhi, the Zhige General, and his uncle is Pei Shuye, the governor of Northern Yanzhou who guards Huaiyang.
When Wang Yingde, who was still kneeling beside him, saw this, his intestines turned green with regret, and he beat his chest and feet in his heart.
"General Pei, please wake up quickly!"
Princess Yongning was obviously much warmer to him than to that Wang Yingde.
Pei Zhi saw that Xiao Yu was seriously injured and ignored the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. He got up and went to check.
I felt relieved when I saw that the bandage on my left shoulder was tied tightly and the bleeding had temporarily stopped.
"The young prince needs to return to his home for rest as soon as possible. When he goes to the imperial hospital, he will ask the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment. Don't blame the root cause of the disease." Pei Zhi said and took out a packet of medicinal powder from the side of the Mingguang Armor. "The last general will come from the army." At home, many enemies were injured on the battlefield. Our ancestors also summarized the expertise of various military doctors and made this kind of medicinal powder, which has the effect of removing decay, promoting muscle growth, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. I will give this small packet to the young prince first, and I will visit you at the end of the day. Visit and send more.”
Xiao Yu grinned and smiled dryly.
At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped smiling. He suddenly felt that everything in front of him suddenly lost its color and turned into black and white.
He saw everyone looking at him anxiously, and he couldn't hear a word of what was said.
The black and white in front of him gradually merged into one color, and only the endless darkness was his destination.
He seemed to have experienced such a moment before, that time due to a car accident.
But this time, maybe there was too much blood loss.
…
I don't know if it's worth sarcasm, but this time death didn't wave to him.
On a sunny evening, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself in an elegant and unique courtyard, with the wind chimes under the eaves playing crisp music in the evening breeze.
He calmed down for a moment and turned around to look, and saw several porcelain earthenware jars scattered on the small table beside him, and the strong medicinal scent was still wafting over the room.
On the other side of the table, a bamboo curtain was rolled up. From his position, he could see the lotus bushes outside the window.
The lotus flowers are growing luxuriantly and delicately, shining with a different kind of brilliance under the reflection of the setting sun.
There is only one word to describe this situation: comfort.
Xiao Yu didn't want to think about anything else. He just wanted to lie quietly and enjoy the good time before night.
It happened that at this moment, there was the sound of objects falling from somewhere nearby.
The sound was not loud, but it seemed to alarm someone, and then there was another shallow yawn.
"Um?"
Listening to the sound, Xiao Yu subconsciously wanted to get up and take a look.
Unexpectedly, just when his left arm was about to support his body, Xiao Yu felt a tearing pain in his left shoulder that made Xiao Yu's whole body covered in a layer of white sweat. He gritted his teeth and screamed in pain.
Next to the cabinet next to the bamboo wall, someone heard the sound and leaned over to look in Xiao Yu's direction.
"Little prince! You wake up!"
It was Qingxue, a smile broke out on her tired pretty face. She quickly got up and came to Xiao Yu's bedside.
"When did the young prince wake up? I don't know if he will say anything to me."
"Just now, what time is it now?"
"Well...the sun is setting soon, so the Youshi hour should be here!"
"Youshi...where is this place? How long have I been here."
"This is the eldest princess's mansion. That day, General Pei Zhipei personally carried the young prince back. The eldest princess followed behind. I don't know why she cried all the way. This is the first time that a servant has served the eldest princess in so many years. See her cry."
"Alas..." Xiao Yu sighed, "Did she say anything?"
"I don't know, but I think she said something to the Prince Consort. They dismissed the servants and were alone in a pavilion, so they couldn't hear it at all. But that day, the princess seemed to be very angry with the Prince Consort. Because of his bad temper, the Prince Consort left home again."
"It turns out that Consort Pan has always run away from home." Xiao Yu murmured, "Then how long have I been lying here?"
"It's been five days."
"You've been guarding me here for five days?"
Qingxue lowered her head shyly.
"Does this slave have a smell?"
"No no!"
"Although I don't know what the young prince has been going through outside, in the past few days, I have not dared to leave the young prince. I also prayed for blessings from the gods and Buddhas. It seems that the gods and Buddhas have appeared and made the young prince recover again."
"Thank you, Qingxue, you have been tired these days."
"Why did the young prince say this? It is the slave's duty to take care of the young prince." Qingxue blinked and looked at Xiao Yu for a moment, her eyes full of warmth.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"This slave is thinking about what the young prince said when we parted that day."
"What words?"
"I just can't remember when the young prince went up the tree to pick plums for me to eat..."
Xiao Yu blinked: "That was a long, long time ago."
"How long? Why doesn't this slave remember?"
"It was a long time ago anyway."
"Humph, the young prince is cheating again."
