Chapter 302 Which No. 1 Assassin?
When Emperor Zhao of Wei was young, he always regarded Prince Guangyong as a thorn in his side.
Now that Prince Guangyong and the Princess have passed away one after another, he feels happy, but the thought of the princess who is living abroad still makes him feel sad.
Even if the original owner was just a powerless little girl, he would wipe out the roots!
The last time he sent out assassins, they were defeated. Emperor Wei Zhao was furious when he guessed that someone was helping her.
This time, he sent out more assassins at all costs, and even sent out one of the only two assassins around him, vowing to kill Shi Li.
"When I think of a trace of his bloodline being lost outside, I can't sleep at night."
After Emperor Wei Zhao sent out his assassins, he was still furious and sat on the dragon throne with a deep frown on his brows.
The eunuch guarding outside the palace slowed down his pace and walked in, lowering his head in fear, "Your Majesty, the prince requests an audience."
"Hmph, let him in." Emperor Wei Zhao opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Although the prince was born to his first wife and had always been favored by the emperor, he pleaded for Princess Guangyong a while ago and was neglected by the emperor for a while.
Now that the prince has taken the initiative to ask for a meeting, he must have thought it through and knows that he is here to plead for mercy.
Emperor Wei Zhao did not mind giving him another chance. After all, he was the legitimate son of a novice who had been married for many years, which was better than the illegitimate son born to a concubine...
After leaving the flowers, Axue carried the two of them forward.
The wind was getting stronger.
When they arrived at a quiet bamboo forest, Shi Li nervously reached out and hooked her hand around Xuan Yi's sleeve, looking up at him silently.
Xuan Yi was still smiling. He stretched out a finger and gently touched her forehead.
"Axue, go wait for me in front."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward with force and flew into the air, his sword unsheathed, the sword light was as cold as frost.
After receiving the order, Axue continued to run forward with Shi Li on her back without looking back.
A good horse can run as fast as lightning when it gets serious.
Shi Li wanted to look back several times, but her reason told her to calm down. After all, Xuan Yi had already made up his mind and must have thought more about it than she did.
The best she could do was not to burden him.
So, he pursed his lips into a straight line and held the reins tightly.
Let the wind whistle past your ears.
The rustling sound of the wind passing through the pines and bamboos could not block the crisp sound of the long sword scratching the ground.
Xuan Yi drew a deep line in the air on the ground, looking down at the killer who was chasing him from behind, his eyes full of contempt.
"Anyone who crosses this bamboo forest will be beheaded."
His voice was as light as the wind, not deep and powerful, and even the sword mark on the ground was only a faint one, but it stopped dozens of killers.
These killers were all paid heavily, and each of them was worth ten men at once. However, when facing Xuan Yi, they felt terrified and did not dare to take a single step closer.
The two sides confronted each other, and the wind was howling.
The fallen leaves are like scrolls.
After a long while, the leading assassin laughed dryly and said coldly: "Do you think we are the only ones? Do you think you can save the little princess of Prince Guangyong by stopping us?"
After he finished speaking these few words, before he could even react, a deep blood line appeared on his neck.
When he fell, his eyes were full of disbelief.
At the same time, the other killers saw that the smile on Xuan Yi's face was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Axue carried Shili and ran very far, all the way to another forest, before slowly stopping.
It seemed to know that Shi Li was not good at riding horses, so it carefully bent its front legs so that Shi Li could get off the horse easily.
Shi Li's hands, which were holding the reins, were covered with red marks, and the blisters from breaking branches were all broken, leaving a bloody mess on the palms.
She gritted her teeth, turned over and landed on the ground, and touched Axue's back with her other intact hand.
"Shall we wait for him here?"
This time, Axue didn't neigh, but just raised his front hoof slightly, then lay down beside her.
Shi Li took a deep breath, half leaned on Axue, looked at the direction from which he came, his face as gloomy as water.
While worrying, he kept telling himself that Xuan Yi was the number one assassin and would be safe.
But why did he let himself go first?
Obviously it wasn't necessary to do this last time. Why use her as bait or even tease her?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt. He didn't care about his bleeding palm at all. His upper and lower rows of teeth were clenched together, and his mouth was full of the smell of blood.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Axue suddenly became restless. She stood up and kicked the dead leaves on the ground, shaking her head from side to side.
[I have a bad feeling...]
[Anchor, you seem to be in danger! ]
[Is it too late to escape now? ? ? ]
In fact, there was no need for the barrage to remind her. Axue's reaction and intuition had already told Shi Li that she was in danger.
But, does running away really help?
Ah Xue had already carried her for such a long distance. If someone caught up with her, it could only mean...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore and looked back with wide eyes.
Outside the forest, a man in a white cloak appeared, his head and face hidden in the huge hood, exuding a dangerous aura.
He was dressed all in white, and looked very different from the killer he had met before.
