Chapter 44 Saving

Not far away, there was a bodyguard lying on the official road outside the city. Seeing that he was dressed as the gate guard, the dark guard came forward to check and was breathless.

After a while, a horse leaned against a tree and kicked uneasily. Xiao Yuanqi personally disowned and looked at the horse's temples, and was sure that it was the royal horse.

"Your Highness."

Several dark guards also looked around after Xiao Yuanqi dismanded, trying to find some other clues. Suddenly, there was a shout, and the rest of the people left looking for the sound.

Xiao Yuanqi approached, and the dark guards automatically gave way. A man with his whole body was tied to the tree, and the joints of his limbs showed different arcs. On the ground was a bodyguard with a knife. The guards' eyes were round, as if they were surprised and afraid.

The dark guards, who have always been indifferent to life and death, can't help but look away and can't bear to look at it again.

"Leave two people, bury him, and the rest of the people will follow me."

Xiao Yuanqi's teeth were clenched, and his fisted fingers were white, and the blue veins were bursting, drawing a clear organization on the back of his hand.

In less than half an hour, the people led by Xiao Yuanqi rushed to the scene of the accident. At present, there were messy corpses, and the carriage without horses fell to the ground, which was amazingly bloody.

"Come on."

"In the humble position." The commander of the Gyeonggi soldiers immediately came to take the order.

Xiao Yuanqi's eyes are dark, but it reflects a different light under the night sky, which seems to be spinning and brewing a bigger storm.

"Go count the number of people." Xiao Yuanqi's voice was as cold as the wind in this cold winter.

He watched a body being placed away, and his manic anger rushed up his head, and his eyes were already red.

"Your Highness, there are a total of 334 people, six of whom are men in black, and the remaining 298 are guards of the forbidden army."

298 people? Only two of the three hundred line of imperial guards broke out. One of them should be the body he just saw, and the other...

Xiao Yuanqi looked at the distant sky and guessed one or two when he thought about the pink lotus flowers just now.

Although the kung fu of the imperial army is far less than that of the dark guards, it is not worse than that of the Gyeonggi soldiers. It must have taken a lot of effort to destroy so many people in one breath.

Thinking that the cold night was still by her side at this moment, Xiao Yuanqi calmed down a little.

"Go to the temple."

At this time, I didn't know if something had happened to the ancestral temple. Xiao Yuanqi's eyebrows were tortuous and thoughtful, and let the Jingji soldiers search around for the traces of the crown princess. He rushed to the temple with the dark guards.

When he arrived at the temple, the sky was blue. Xiao Yuanqi saw Xiao Hao standing at the door waiting for him and knew that the temple was safe and sound. First, I breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, my heart was hurt.

"How's Uncle?" Xiao Yuanqi bowed his hand.

Xiao Hao no longer laughed as usual, but brought him into the inner hall with a calm face. There was a bodyguard lying on the bed, and Xiao Yuanqi was worried that this was the last person left.

"He arrived two hours ago. When I saw him, there was only this breath left. He said that he was assassinated by ten people in black on the road, and the princess was in critical condition." Xiao Hao solemnly told Xiao Yuanqi about the situation.

Xiao Yuanqi's body shook invisibly, his thin lips turned white, and his eyes were full of violent blood. Xiao Hao saw it in his eyes and felt depressed. That child was important to him.

The relationship between their uncle and nephew is profound. At this time, Xiao Hao did not delay him much and whispered, "There is nothing wrong with the temple. Go and find the crown princess quickly. I'm afraid that the child will be unpredictable at this time."

Sure enough, the goal of all this was Shen Sirong. Xiao Yuanqi narrowed his eyes and went over Xiao Hao to look at the wound of the bodyguard.

The bodyguard had an arrow on his back, and the arrow was non-toxic, but his front chest was severely damaged by a palm. At this time, he was unconscious. Xiao Yuanqi's eyes stayed on the palm injury for a moment, and his fear suddenly rose. That palm must be done by a person with deep internal strength, and his power is no less than that of a cold night. In addition, the cold night has to protect Shen Sirong's safety, and the enemy has nine other people in black entangled. I'm afraid that the cold night itself is difficult to protect.

Xiao Yuanqi, who knew the situation, no longer stayed in the temple. After saying goodbye to Xiao Hao, he rushed to the scene of the incident again with the dark guard. The Gyeonggi soldiers have gone around to search for Shen Sirong's whereabouts. At this moment, the people who are cleaning up the mess at the scene are very strange.

"Who is here?" Xiao Yuanqi asked.

A man in blue robe stood on the horse and turned his head when he heard Xiao Yuanqi's question.

Xiao Yuanqi did not expect to see Xiao Yuanfeng here. He watched Xiao Yuanfeng disarm and gradually approached him. Xiao Yuanqi raised his chin gently, and the dark guards around him were all alert.

"Brother. Yuanfeng came out of the city when he saw the alarm in the direction of the temple, trying to see if it could help. Xiao Yuanfeng looked at the bodyguard brought by Xiao Yuanqi and explained his intention lightly.

Of course, this is not true. It's not surprising that he knows the royal code, but did he see it so coincidentally? Xiao Yuanfeng has also been probing about driving.

Others may not know, but Xiao Yuanqi knows why he came here. However, Xiao Yuanqi believes that he will not hurt Shen Sirong.

"Hmm." He answered casually, Xiao Yuanqi didn't care about Xiao Yuanfeng, at least at the right time.

Xiao Yuanfeng brought the guards of the Glass Palace and asked them to follow the Gyeonggi army to find Shen Sirong's whereabouts. But because the sky was not bright, nothing was achieved.

"Go, you too. Be sure to find the princess for me." Xiao Yuanqi ordered to the dark guard. Xiao Yuanqi's dark guards have always acted secretly. At this moment, they are all dressed in the clothes of the guards of the East Palace to hide their eyes and ears.

"Yes."

There are many people who are good at tracking in the dark guard. Before dawn, news came that traces of blood and fighting were found in the woods. Xiao Yuanqi didn't close his eyes all night. As soon as he heard the return, he was taken into the woods. Xiao Yuanfeng followed silently.

When they arrived at the place mentioned by the Dark Guard, they did find blood stains and a dart.

The dark guard went down and gave the dart to Xiao Yuanqi to check: "Your Highness, this dart is poisonous and will make people lose their power in two days." Of course, the poison of losing her skills went to the cold night. It seems that the cold night was injured, so is she okay?

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yuanqi knocked the dart into a tree. Looking along, the dart was completely embedded in the trunk of the tree. If he didn't look closely, he could not see the scars at all, and the dark guards were shocked.

His Royal Highness was really angry.

"They were injured in the cold night, and they can't run far. Seventh brother, we took our own people to find each other, as evidenced by the news." With that, he took out a dark whistle from his belt.

"Good." Xiao Yuanfeng was not as clear as Xiao Yuanqi, but he also knew that Shen Sirong was very dangerous. He agreed and took people to search in a hurry.

When Xiao Yuanfeng's people went far away, he led the dark guard in the opposite direction.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Walking to the depths of the woods, the surroundings were no different, Xiao Yuanqi asked.

"Your Highness, rest assured that the 'eagle' has carefully identified the direction. The traces of fighting are coming in this direction, and there are people's marks on the tree trunk."

Xiao Yuanqi nodded and continued to walk deep.

On the other side, Xiao Yuanfeng stopped after walking for a while. He was hesitating where to go. He was not secure, and he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Shen Sirong. Now there are two roads in front of us. One is to return to the original road and catch up with Xiao Yuanqi according to the suspicion in his heart. The other way is to continue to look in this direction.

He has lost once, and he doesn't want to lose again this time. He wants to find Shen Sirong before Xiao Yuanqi. The first person he wants her to see is Xiao Yuanfeng.

Concided, Xiao Yuanfeng divided half of the royal palace guards to find in the original direction, and the rest returned to pursue Xiao Yuanqi's path.

"I didn't expect him to chase so fast." Xiao Yuanqi found Xiao Yuanfeng's movement and ignored it with a sneer. Now he doesn't have the time to compete with him. He chases after him. Shen Sirong's safety is what he cares about most at present.

He has already divided the dark guard into three groups and went to find three lines, which eventually reached a slope. Xiao Yuanqi looked at the slope, and an unknown feeling fluttered in his mind.

Obviously covered with traces of someone rolling over. Xiao Yuan closed his eyes and opened it again. When he opened it again, a light in the distance entered his eyes. He took a breath and jumped to stand still in the place where the bright light appeared.

There is a phoenix hairpin lying steadily in the long grass. The phoenix's eyes are decorated with two red gems, and the reflective one just now is this gem.

Xiao Yuanqi clenched the phoenix hairpin in his hand until it hurt.

"Go down and look for it."

Calling back all the scattered dark guards, Xiao Yuanqi has been able to confirm that Shen Sirong is under this slope.

In the small cave on that side, the situation between Shen Sirong and the cold night was very bad. The cold night was injured, and even keeping warm in the cold weather became a problem. At this time, the cold night had started a high fever and passed out.

Shen Sirong took advantage of the cold night to untie her clothes. The wound on her left shoulder was not treated in time, and her clothes stuck to the wound. Shen Si tolerated the pain and slowly tore off his clothes. With this action, the original wound bled again.

"Water...water..."

He spatted in the cold night, and Shen Sirong approached to hear what he was saying. Shen Sirong thought about picking up the vine and went out of the cave.

To be careful, Shen Sirong tied one end of the vine to the stone in front of the cave gate and grabbed the other end in his hand. She hasn't closed her eyes all night and hasn't eaten anything. The next step is a virtual step.

Step by step moved to the open space that fell yesterday, but Shen Sirong couldn't find water. He thought that the snow had melted away. Shen Sirong leaned against the stone wall and closed her eyes. After a long time, she stood up.

For some reason, Shen Sirong walked unsteadily when he went back along the path. From time to time, he kicked some small stones under his feet and grabbed Mantiao's hand and was numb.
