Fallen fragrance unintentionally stained the world of mortals

Because of thinking about Xiangnu, Xiye led Beichengwei all the way to Chiyao, hoping to finish those trivial matters quickly. The girl was afraid of the dark and strangers approaching, so she stayed with him all day long in the hut. As soon as he left, he trembled with fear. Now that he left quietly, he didn't know what she would look like in fear.

"Drive!" He flicked the whip, and the horse galloped forward even faster.

The temperature is getting lower the further north we go, and now we have been racing all night, the single clothes on his body can no longer cover the invading cold air, but he has no time to pay attention to it, now it is past noon, passing by a village, stopping at a tea house on the side of the road for a drink After drinking some wine, he asked the man to feed the horses some fodder, and then led the Beichengwei on their way.

Those iron guards had received strict training, so naturally they would not be afraid of this little fatigue, but the head guard saw Wang Shangye clutching his chest in cold sweat several times at night, but kept urging his horse to go fast. Hurrying on the way, worried that his injury would worsen, I wanted to step forward to persuade him, but before I got close, I felt a sense of oppression all over his body, but I didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, after running for a few more hours, the sky darkened.

Those iron guards had been tossing around for a day and a night, and they were all exhausted, but Xi Ye didn't say a word, no one dared to rest, finally looking forward to Xi Ye's dismounting, they just drank some wine and ate some dry food and continued on their way.

In this way, he ran non-stop for three days. On the fourth night, Xi Ye finally couldn't bear the severe pain in his chest, and stopped to rest until nightfall. There are still two days away from Chiyao. He must be well Take control of your injuries.

The cold air at night was very heavy, the white mist rose up, the cold wind cut through like a sharp knife, and the air was filled with the unique chill of the north.

Beichengwei tied the horses under the tree, sat down together in twos and threes, poured a few sips of shochu to keep warm, and took dry food while eating and chatting in a low voice. frost, but the horse still snorted and chewed.

Xi Ye leaned against the tree and meditated, her aloof and cold aura kept everyone from approaching.

He has been away for so many days, I don't know how Shannu is doing, she is so dependent on him now, she will be frightened at the slightest sign of trouble, so afraid that she can't sleep all night and night, she will still tremble uncontrollably as she hugs him tightly .Fingers dug deep into the tree, Xi Ye's lips were pursed into a line, and tenderness floated in his eyes, it seemed that he really scared her that day...

Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind him, and Xi Ye's face returned to cold and indifferent in an instant, he clenched the sharp sword at his waist tightly, a murderous aura shot out from his eyes, and a sharp cold light flashed in his deep eyes, he stood up straight , ready to go.

The conversations around had ceased at some point, the moon was covered by dark clouds, the grass on the hillside seemed to be blown by the wind, the treetops rustled, the night frost turned dew, and slipped down along the dry grass, disappearing into the soil in an instant.

The only thing around is the sound of human heartbeats.

With a scream, a sleeve arrow shining with blue light flew from the darkness. With a crisp impact, the blade of the sword had already blocked the gleaming sleeve arrow, and there was a scream from the bushes not far away, and the huge black object fell heavily to the ground.

Soon, more men in black jumped down from the tree and slashed at Xi Ye with big knives.

"what--"

A scream pierced the silence of the night!

Jianfeng pierced the sky with a dazzling cold light. Before the man in black rushed back to his senses, he stared at his bloodshot eyes and watched his body split into two halves from his forehead. The air was suddenly filled with pungent smell. The smell of blood, the bright red blood dripped down the sword body, and condensed into water droplets on the tip of the sword, dripping continuously.

Xi Ye stood with her head bowed and her sword in hand, her long jet black hair tugged at her black clothes and flew wildly, her whole body chilling, her tall figure was as noble and mysterious as a god of death.

The man in black behind was obviously frightened by this terrifying scene, he stopped abruptly, his eyes were terrified as if seeing a ghost.

Beichengwei quickly surrounded Xi Ye to protect her.

Xi Ye narrowed her eyes coldly, and spit out a word: "Kill!"

Beichengwei immediately swung his saber down in a formation, no one survived where the blade passed, the sound of iron clashing was heard, and the bright red blood spilled into the sky, screaming and screaming, although those men in black shot fiercely, they all They all use brute force, which is naturally inferior to the rigorously trained iron guards, but these men in black are all fighting without killing their lives. Limbs and arms were broken everywhere, blood stained the ground black, and there were messy corpses everywhere.

A guard came forward and knelt down with a secret letter: "Your Majesty, a secret letter was found on the body of the leading assassin."

Xi Ye tore it open and read it, her face turned livid immediately, and she saw by the moonlight that there were only four words on the secret letter: "Go to the North to die at night".

He naturally recognized this font. Although the temptress of the Empress Dowager was vicious, she wrote good handwriting, which is not in vain of her reputation as a talented woman when she was young.Judging from the secret letter, the Empress Dowager must have discovered that the news had leaked. Chiyao was located in a fortress, so she must have expected that he would go to the north first, so she sent a killer to assassinate him secretly.

It's just that the Queen Mother's personnel in the palace are closely monitored by the iron guards. If she wants to deploy people, the iron guards will definitely find out.

So, where did she find these assassins?Moreover, I left Yin Louguo for only a few days, and the people who knew about it were all my confidantes, so how did the news that I rushed to Chiyao leak out?And judging from this ambush, it is obvious that he knows the route of his trip!

He narrowed his eyes and sneered, did spies be planted beside him?

It seems that the old woman's methods are more powerful than he imagined!

He crumpled the secret letter into a ball, gritted his teeth and said, "Check these corpses carefully and see if there are any other discoveries."

"Yes!"

The guard carefully inspected several corpses and returned: "Your Majesty, these people are all tall and powerful, and they all seem to come from grassy backgrounds. Everyone has a leopard tattoo on their backs, and they look more like robbers in the forest, but it's strange. Yes, the big swords they use have military seals, and they were issued to the army at the beginning of last year."

Xiye squinted his eyelids and thought for a moment, a little puzzled. The first thing he thought of was naturally the "Bandit Legion" that had been disbanded by him. It was just that those soldiers were assigned to various armies under his own orders, so how could they gather so many? People?

But thinking of Gu He's appearance before, the clarity in his eyes added a bit more.

As a matter of urgency, the only thing to do is to notify Zuo Duwei to start the investigation, and stabilize Chiyao's military power first.

Just as he was about to get on his horse and continue on his way, he heard the rustling of tree branches being broken and withered grass under his feet from the hillside behind him. The heavy panting was getting closer and closer to their direction. It sounded like there were two people, and One of the voices was a woman.

Here is not far from the border, there are wars from time to time, could it be the refugees who fled here?Because people with martial arts generally don't have such heavy breathing, despite thinking so, everyone immediately clenched their weapons and held their breath to focus on that direction.

Xiye's eyes burst out with murderous aura, wishing to tear up all those who wasted his time and throw them into hell. She clenched the hilt of the sword tightly and secretly exerted force in her hand. The sword flew out of her hand, but she heard a low cry of surprise from the darkness.

"night--"

The familiar voice pierced into Xi Ye's mind like a sharp steel needle!

Seeing the sharp sword flashing coldly at the embarrassed figure, he didn't have time to think about it. He threw out the scabbard with his left hand and smashed the sword a few inches away. Two screams came from the two figures over there. At the same time fell into the grass.

Xi Ye ran over and turned over the body that had fallen on the grass, the man's body was covered with dirt, grass clippings and dried blood, reflecting the moonlight, revealing a delicate face that made him miss day and night.

Xi Ye's eyes widened in shock and she was speechless!

sky!How could Shannu come here alone?

If Shannu hadn't pinched his arm tremblingly, he would have thought he was dreaming, this place is so remote, and he has been driving for so long, how could she catch up with him?

"Ye... Nuer is so scared..." After seeing Xi Ye clearly with terrified eyes, Xiang Nu threw herself into his arms, her body trembling like chaff, she didn't know whether it was from fright or cold, she thought with trembling lips He laughed, but his lips trembled too much, so he had to tightly hold on to the clothes on his back.

He quickly pulled Shanu into his arms, and after pulling, he saw another person hiding behind Shanu.

"Su Yingying?" Xi Ye narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn't see clearly just now, he clearly saw the person on the left pulling Xiang Nu to block the sword, so it must be her!

Su Yingying flinched in fright, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm a concubine..."

Xi Ye didn't wait for her to explain, she left her aside, turned around and ordered someone to take his snow fur to wrap up Xiang Nu, and asked the guards to pick up dry wood and light a bonfire.

The flames shot up high, illuminating the surroundings, and only then did he clearly see Xiang Nu's appearance.

Her face was haggard, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, she stared at him without blinking, although she was terrified, there was no trace of tears shed.

Her hair was still simply tied behind her back, but it was already messy and messy. Her hair was covered with grass and dust, and a few strands fell out and hung on her forehead.Her face was pale and bloodless, and she was stained with a lot of mud. Her once plump lips were already dry and cracked, and they were still trembling uncontrollably.

Her white skirt was torn in many places, and there were obviously a lot of dark blood stains on the ermine fur jacket and skirt on her upper body. Although it looked half dry, Xi Ye was still taken aback and checked that she was not injured. , Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, but his face was still ugly. This woman was as cold as ice all over. Although she had put on a jacket, her hands and feet were so stiff and cold that she couldn't feel it.

He took off her shoes for her, intending to move her feet closer to the fire to warm her, but his eyes fell on the damaged shoes in his hands. These shoes seemed to be made of materials from the palace, and the temperature of the Jinye Palace was suitable. Even in winter, it is not too cold, so the boots and shoes of the palaces are not too thick for lightness, but this kind of shoes are not worth wearing in the north. He cast his cold eyes on Su Yingying's feet, and sure enough Seeing a pair of boots matching the white sable jacket on Shan Nu's upper body, a sharp cold light flashed across, and he hugged Shan Nu tightly to transmit his body temperature to him.

"Ye... Nuer will be good." Seeing that his face was cold and his body was trembling even more, Shan Nu's eyes that were stubborn and unyielding just now were filled with tears at this moment, and he hugged his arm cautiously.

Xi Ye sighed in her heart, but still couldn't calm down, looked sideways, and saw Su Yingying was still staring at Xiang Nu with resentment and jealousy on her face, and when she found Xi Ye looking at her, she was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head helplessly.
