Chapter 199 Life and Death

Sitting on a colorful horse with a beautiful appearance, for more than an hour, the bones were almost broken.

After walking along the official road for a long time, the traces of Shangguan Chen's motorcade gradually disappeared.

"Why did you disappear here? Could it be that you have been attacked?" Hua Rongrong was startled, and there was a trace of worry on her face unconsciously.

"Rong Rong, don't think so wildly. If you were attacked here, how could there be no trace left at all? At least some blood would be splashed. You can't just disappear out of thin air." Hua Hua was not impressed by Hua Rong Rong at all.

Affected by the tense emotions, it felt as if I was on an outing and sightseeing.

"But, the traces of the carriage disappeared when they arrived here." Huarongrong's eyes kept searching on the soft ground.

"Old man, have you ever seen a carriage and a few people on horseback passing by here?" Huahua did not follow Huarongrong and listen to Huarongrong's complaints, but walked to the side and asked an old man passing by.

road.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, but they were all attracted by the beauty of Huahua and Huahua. Both a man and a woman were extraordinary and beautiful, and they appeared at the same time in this small village, which was rare to see in a hundred years.

After a while, Huarongrong and Huahua were surrounded by people.

"Old man, I just came out of home. I didn't see anyone passing by here. You should ask other people." The old man still had a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing such a noble and handsome man talking to him, he was immediately flattered.

"I know, I know." A dirty little beggar squeezed out from the surrounding crowd and said as if he was offering a treasure.

"Little brother, what color is the carriage you saw?" Hua Rongrong squatted in front of the little beggar excitedly, holding the beggar's arm tightly with both hands and asked.

The people watching were in an uproar.

Such a gorgeously dressed beauty didn't mind the little beggar's clothes, which were so dark and dirty that you couldn't tell what color they were, and she still held his arm so intimately. It was really a blessing in my previous life!

"I, I saw a yellow carriage passing by here, and at that time..." The little beggar didn't expect that Huarong Rong would catch him, and he was so excited that he stammered.

"Thank you!" Hua Rongrong didn't wait for the little beggar to finish speaking, and said urgently: "Then where did they go? How come they disappeared when they got here."

The little beggar was interrupted by Huarong, his face turned red: "Go, go to the mountains."

"What?" Huarong was stunned. He was obviously going to guard the border, so why did he go to the mountains on the way?

"Old man, where does the mountain in that direction lead to?" Huahua ignored Huarongrong and asked the old man again.

"We reached Qizhou after climbing over the mountain, but there are two intersections at the foot of the mountain, one leading to Qizhou and the other leading to Turpan. The person you asked about should have gone to Qizhou." The old man said.

said.

"Oh? How did the old man know that they went to Qizhou?" Huahua asked with a smile on her face.

"Most people take the road to Qizhou, and few people take the road to Turpan because there is a large Gobi desert on the way. A few years ago, there was a locust plague in the village, and some villagers fled together, and they all died in the Gobi.

On the beach, the body was eaten clean by locusts, and if the clothes hadn't been left behind, the family wouldn't have been able to recognize it."

"Thank you very much, old man." Huahua smiled slightly, picked up Huarong on the horse, and ran towards the mountain pointed by the little beggar.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, just as the old man said, there were two forks in the road.

Huahua was about to drive her horse towards Qizhou, but Hua Rongrong suddenly pulled the reins.

"Wait a minute, I have a hunch that the prince and his companions must be taking that road." Hua Rongrong said, raising her hand and pointing to the intersection of Turpan.

"Even if they take a shortcut, they won't have to go next door. The conditions are so bad, and they might be burned before they reach the border." Huahua handed the water bag in his hand to Huarongrong and motioned to Huarongrong to drink some water.

Rest.

Hua Rongrong took the water, took a few sips, and returned it to Huahua, urging: "I really feel that they are taking this road. Since Concubine Li intends to murder the prince, she will not let him reach Qizhou smoothly.

, this way the journey will be shortened again, which will make it even more difficult for her to start. Presumably, in this case, why would Concubine Li bother to take the prince to take a shortcut? "

"Okay, listen to Rong Rong." As she spoke, Huahua had already turned her horse's head and ran towards Turpan.

Sure enough, after not running for long, Huahua and Huarongrong gradually entered the Gobi. There were fewer and fewer plants around them, replaced by messy stones.

After walking for a while, the gradually softer ground turned out to be littered with horse hoof prints and traces of carriage shafts.

"It seems that this is the right place. Let's run faster. I believe we can catch up with them soon." Hua Rongrong felt relieved. As long as she found the right way, she could follow Shangguan Chen all the way. I believe that with Huahua's

Ability, protecting Shangguan Chen is not a problem.

As soon as he finished speaking, a royal signal flare rose in the sky in front of him.

"No, the prince is in danger." Hua Rongrong's heart tightened and she said in a deep voice.

"Huahua, can you hurry up? The prince is in danger." There was a hint of anxiety in Hua Rongrong's tone. Huahua sped up and rushed towards the flashlight.

After Li Fei lit the signal flare, she held her heart tightly in her chest and nervously waited for the arrival of the dead soldiers.

This was the time when the guards were at their weakest. The general had already taken half of the people out to look for water. The remaining people, after a morning of exposure and thirst, probably didn't even have the physical strength to escape, let alone fight.

there is none left.

In this battle, Li Fei can basically be said to be a sure winner.

The dry ground was already hot under the sun, making people dizzy. Several arrows with burning arrows hit the carriage with a bang. The carriage, which had already exceeded the temperature, suddenly burst into flames.

Li Fei did not expect that the dead soldier would attack the carriage directly. She was startled and screamed: "Someone is coming, the carriage is on fire!"

The few remaining guards were suddenly in chaos, with no one to direct them. They just subconsciously set up an attack formation, but they couldn't resist the flaming arrows that shot at them one after another. They also didn't care about Li Fei who was still calling for help in the carriage.

Individuals were defeated and each found a safe place to hide.

"Enter!" Several assassins dressed in white rushed forward and opened the curtain. When they saw that there was only Concubine Li in the carriage, they were shocked: "No, the third prince is not here."

"Help me quickly, cough cough." Li Fei was choked by the thick smoke and had to cure her cough, but the door was surrounded by fire and she couldn't get out at all, so she said to the assassin.

"I'm sorry, Concubine Li. We only received an order to assassinate the Third Prince, but we didn't receive an order to rescue you. You'd better ask for your own blessings." One of the leading assassins said stiffly.

Then they lowered the burning car curtain in their hands, and the group began to search around, making sure to find the prince and silence him.

"How could you do this? I am the emperor's beloved concubine. The emperor will definitely kill you if he finds out!" Li Fei was so smoked that she couldn't breathe. Her eyes were wide open. She didn't believe that the emperor would treat her like this.

"Help! Help!" Li Fei shouted with all her strength.

But no one paid attention to her. She was still dreaming about entering the palace in the future and waiting for her beautiful life. At this time, everything disappeared in the thick and choking black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"Hurry! The prince is here!" Someone shouted, and several assassins quickly ran towards the back.

Shangguan Chen held a sword in his hand, but he had already forgotten how to use it, and was blocked by the assassin in front of a big stone.

"Who sent you here?" Shangguan Chen asked sternly, exuding a frightening aura.

"Hmph, you are about to die, why are you asking this? The third prince should go ask the Lord of Hell." The leader of the assassin snorted coldly, not thinking that Shangguan Chen could still get out alive.

"It's because death is imminent that I want to know more about who is displeased with me. I don't want to die in such an unexplained way." Shangguan Chen took a deep breath and tried to keep calm while listening to Concubine Li in the carriage.

Shangguan Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad at the screams.

It seems that the emperor only regards Concubine Li as a chess piece. After using it, there is no need to keep it anymore.

"Humph, I'm going to die anyway, so it's okay to tell you. We are the emperor's dead soldiers, working specifically for the emperor. You are deliberately treason, how can the emperor keep you alive in the world!" With that, he waved his sword at Shangguan.

Cut it up in the morning.

"Wait!" Shangguan Chen hurriedly raised his hand to block it. The sharp sword carrying the sound of wind suddenly appeared on Shangguan Chen's arm, and blood instantly stained a large area of ​​his clothes red.

"I have one last wish. If the strong man can fulfill me, I will be grateful." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Shangguan Chen's forehead. He tried his best to delay the time, praying secretly in his heart, why hasn't the general come yet?

From the very beginning, Shangguan Chen had a trace of doubt in his heart when Li Fei pestered him to go to the border with her.

In addition, Hua Rongrong also reminded him once, which made Shangguan Chen feel more alert.

Ordering the general to take people out to search for water was actually just a pretense. Shangguan Chen just wanted to test Concubine Li and see what her purpose was in following her on this trip.

In fact, Shangguan Chen ordered the general to take a few guards to a camp not far away to borrow troops. However, it was already this time and the general had not returned yet. Shangguan Chen had no choice but to delay as much time as possible and try to stay calm.

The assassin leader was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What is your wish?"

"I hope you won't embarrass my princess after I die." Shangguan Chen's face became more serious. He raised his eyes and looked directly into the eyes of the assassin leader. He exuded a strong aura that was irresistible.

The assassin then moved his gaze to the side, no longer looking at Shangguan Chen, and said: "My order is only to kill you, other people are no longer within my assassination range."

After saying that, he looked at Shangguan Chen and said, "You can rest in peace now."

"No!" A sharp soprano sounded from behind Shangguan Chen, and a white figure suddenly flew in front of him, blocking the assassin's fatal sword!

Hua Huayan watched the assassin stabbing Hua Rongrong with his sword. The blood had already dyed the snow-white clothes red. She was furious and forgot about concealing her identity. She flew forward and blocked Hua Rongrong and Shangguan.

Chen Qianqian stared at the assassins on the opposite side with red eyes, approaching them step by step.

The assassins were panicked by the sudden appearance of a beautiful man, and they all backed away slightly.

"Haha, you still know how to be afraid? That's good. Fighting like this is exciting enough!" Huahua seemed to have changed. His whole body was shrouded in a cold air. In the hot afternoon, the assassins were stared at and beaten by Huahua.

A shiver.

"Go!" The leader of the assassin suppressed the shock caused by the huge pressure, swallowed his saliva and said harshly.

But no one behind him rushed forward following his words.

Even the emperor's carefully trained warriors have emotions and desires, and when life and death are at stake, they will instinctively retreat in fear.

"Haha, what, are you scared?" A trace of evil smile appeared at the corner of Huahua's mouth. Different from the pure beauty before, Huahua at this time has never been more charming. She doesn't know when her beautiful eyes turned from dark to dark.

Became scarlet!

I don't know where I pulled out a gleaming bow. From the bow body to the bow wire, there was a cold light, which made those who looked at it feel terrified.

Huahua stretched out her slender white fingers gracefully and pulled the bow wire as if playing a piano. Suddenly there was a beam of light in the air that condensed into the shape of an arrow, extremely sharp!
