From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 218

Dozens of men in black rode to chase and kill, but they did not try their best, just waiting for King Jing to come to rescue and act as heroes.

But what they waited for was twenty masters led by Zhou Yuan. The two sides started fighting as soon as they met, and they fought back and forth.

Soon, one of King Jing's guards rushed over and said directly: "The situation has changed. The prince ordered that all enemies on the mountain be killed without leaving a single one."

The leader of the assassins frowned and then said: "That will cost more money!"

The guard said in a deep voice: "The prince promised that after the matter is done, he will give you another 10,000 taels of silver."

The leader of the assassins was shocked when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Brothers! Kill!"

These assassins came to life again and fought with Zhou Yuan's men again.

Zhou Yuan looked at this scene coldly and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Fei, try to delay time, I will go to find Jianjia first."

After he finished speaking, he rode directly into the mountain.

Zhang Fei's face was full of solemnity. This time, not many people were prepared in advance, and they might not be able to hold on.

Last night, Zhou Yuan said that there was no need to prepare too many people with the Jinyiwei, so he did not invite martial arts masters temporarily. Now he really regretted it.

The two sides fought fiercely, and Zhou Yuan rushed into the mountain frantically, shouting at the same time: "Jianjia! Jianjia, where are you!"

All the way to the mountain, he did not see a single person, but he still carefully found some blood on the ground.

Could it be that Jianjia was injured!

Zhou Yuan's scalp suddenly numbed, and he roared: "Jianjia! Jianjia!"

At this moment, Zhao Jianjia and his four companions had already entered the deep mountains and old forests.

"No, I can't do it."

Princess Qinshui looked pale and said with difficulty: "I have lost too much blood. I can't drag you down. You two, take Jianjia away quickly! You must take her home!"

The two guards looked at each other, but they were unmoved.

One guard said: "Your Highness, our duty is to protect Your Highness. I'm sorry that others can't obey your order!"

They knew very well that if Princess Qinshui died, they would not survive.

"Bullshit!"

Princess Qinshui had no strength to yell at people, and said weakly: "This is an order, take Jianjia back!"

Zhao Jianjia sighed: "Your Highness, don't say such things anymore. At this point, we can't leave separately, not to mention that the retreat is blocked by assassins."

"We have to continue to flee to the mountains, even if we have to cross this mountain."

"This is our only way out."

Although Zhao Jianjia is a woman from the Jiangnan water town, she has a tenaciousness in her bones.

Princess Qinshui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer. Jianjia, let the guards take you away!"

Finally, she couldn't help shedding tears and said in a trembling voice, "No matter what, I can't hurt you too."

Zhao Jianjia shook her head and said, "Hold on a little longer. I believe Xiaoying and my husband will send someone to save us."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. No one can save you!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded. Dozens of horseback guards from the Jingwang Mansion had already put on black clothes and rushed here, bypassing the killer battle area.

Princess Qinshui's face changed, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Go! Go quickly!"

Dozens of people jumped off their horses. In the dense forest, walking was faster.

They came with knives, and they were aggressive.

"Your Highness! Take care! The only way for me is to die!"

The two guards looked at each other, roared with knives, and rushed forward.

But how could two people compare to the dozens of carefully trained guards? They only lasted for more than ten breaths before falling to the ground without a sound.

At this point, Zhao Jianjia and Princess Qinshui had reached a desperate moment of despair.

"Jianjia... Jianjia, run away..."

Princess Qinshui stood up with difficulty and pushed Zhao Jianjia into the depths of the dense forest. She choked and said, "I hurt you, I'm sorry, woo woo..."

Her emotions had collapsed.

She had never cared about assassins, because there were not many people in the world who dared to assassinate her, and there were not many masters who could keep her.

Who knew that this time she was betrayed by the personal female guard, and her dantian was seriously injured, and she could not raise a trace of internal strength at all.

She regretted a thousand ways, but it was useless.

Zhao Jianjia gritted her teeth and said, "Who are you! If you have received money, we are willing to give you double, even triple, or ten times!"

She still wanted to make a final effort and delay time.

Unfortunately, they were no longer facing killers, but guards.

"We are not interested in money or women, and there is no way to delay time!"

The leading guard raised his knife and roared, "Brothers! Kill!"

Dozens of people shouted and rushed towards Zhao Jianjia and the others.

Zhao Jianjia supported Princess Qinshui and ran back, but Princess Qinshui pushed her away and used all her strength to kill them.She shouted with all her strength: "Don't worry about me! Run away!"

"Too late!"

The sharp knife slashed towards Princess Qinshui, making a sharp collision.

At this critical moment, a long sword came out and stopped the terrible knife.

Zhou Yuan's forehead was bulging with blue veins, his eyes were red, and there was only raging anger in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but just swung his sword and cut the opponent's throat at lightning speed.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Princess Qinshui's face was pale and trembling. Looking at Zhou Yuan who suddenly came to kill her, tears could not help but surge out.

"Husband!"

Zhao Jianjia couldn't help shouting out, her voice was crying, in fact, she had been holding on, but she couldn't hold on when she saw Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was slightly relieved to see that she was not injured, but he also felt numb when he saw dozens of assassins in front of him.

"Jianjia! Take her away!"

He held a long sword, his body was already stained with blood, and looked at the dozens of people in front of him fiercely, with murderous intent in his eyes.

There was nothing to talk about at this moment. The other party's purpose was clear and there was no room for negotiation.

This was a desperate time.

However, Zhao Jianjia was afraid that Zhou Yuan would get into trouble, and choked up and said, "What are you going to do then!"

"Don't waste time! Let's go!"

Zhou Yuan growled, this was not the time to be sentimental.

Zhao Jianjia held back his tears and hurriedly went to the mountains with Princess Qinshui.

And the dozens of people in front were already rushing towards Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan knew his own strength very well. It was no problem to deal with dozens of ordinary strong men, but these were all professionally trained guards. Even if they didn't have internal strength, they had martial arts skills. It was a joke to want to stop them.

He could only delay time at this moment! Delay until Xiong Kuohai came!

"Kill!"

He roared, but he fought and retreated, leaning against the dense trees, trying not to be attacked from the front and back.

However, the opponent was not a fool. He left a group of people to deal with Zhou Yuan, and the other group attacked Zhao Jianjia and the others.

Zhou Yuan was furious and roared. He simply retreated and covered Jianjia and the others' retreat.

But fighting like this undoubtedly increased his pressure to the maximum. Even if his kung fu was much stronger than his opponent, he still couldn't beat four hands with two fists.

After killing four people, Zhou Yuan was stabbed in the shoulder and blood flowed.

"Husband!"

Zhao Jianjia's tears flowed immediately. The knife seemed to cut her heart, and she couldn't breathe in pain.

Princess Qinshui was also a little dazed when she saw this scene.

Compared with these guards, Zhou Yuan, as a southerner, was not tall.

But he blocked these people with one sword.

"Come on! Keep going!"

The pain made Zhou Yuan's blood burst out. His whole body was stained with blood, and his face was full of ferocity. He said: "Come on! Even if I die, I will kill you all!"

The inner force of Chunyang Wuji Gong was pushed to the extreme, and the golden light flashed on his sword.

After all, the guards were guards, not guerrillas. They just looked at each other and rushed towards Zhou Yuan without hesitation.

So they started to kill again. Zhou Yuan resisted dozens of people with his own strength. He waved his long sword and swept out his inner force, and he just held on for another wave.

He was very glad that since the last injury, he attached great importance to the practice of martial arts and had made great progress, otherwise he would not be able to withstand such an attack.

But the regret was that he could not hold on any longer.

The shoulder, chest, and back were all stabbed. Although the wounds were not deep and not fatal, he would not be able to bear such bleeding sooner or later.

"Husband! Husband, wuwu..."

Zhao Jianjia was already in tears, crying heartbreakingly.

Princess Qinshui was pale and her consciousness was blurred.

Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely and couldn't help shouting: "Where is Xiaoying! Where is she!"

Princess Qinshui heard this and felt a huge pain in her heart. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.

She knew that all this was caused by her.

What made Zhou Yuan happy was that a petite figure quickly rushed out of the forest, with red eyes, shouting: "Brother!"

It came at the right time!

Zhou Yuan was angry and couldn't help shouting: "Where have you been! I told you to protect your sister, what have you been doing!"

Xiaoying's tears fell immediately, her face turned pale, and she trembled: "I'm sorry, brother, I... I'm lost..."

Zhou Yuan knew that this was not the time to say this, so he shouted: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back! Hurry up and deal with these people! I want them all dead!"

He had never been so angry.
