Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 150 The Great Danger at Yuxiang Pass

It seems that giving her the title of Duke of Zhenguo was not without reason.

The owner of the mask, who was helped back to the carriage, supported herself on the soft pillow with one hand, and with one hand she took off the twigs that covered her face. Her red lips moved slightly.

"Think it over before you answer. You said, maybe you have seen her?"

When the warrior who had followed him since childhood told him this news, he did not believe it.

"If he was within my sight, it would be impossible for me not to remember him."

"I dare not speak nonsense. She has indeed never appeared in front of you." The dead soldier with fine lines at the corners of his eyes had a face that was forgotten as soon as he saw it. Only the gleaming pupils in his drooping eyes had some vitality.

"But she is... the important person around. It must have started many years ago. She has at least a thousand lives of our people in her hands."

The assassins who were observing everything from the dark could hardly conceal their excitement.

As Lou Xiao and the young assassins were attacking, the figure of the girl in front of him gradually overlapped with the figure in the rainy night many years ago.

He originally thought that the martial arts master was a dwarf, but in fact, it was a young girl who had not yet grown up.

This is more frustrating than anything else.

"More than a thousand people... you mean!!"

Her charming eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she recalled the most regrettable rainy night.

He thought he could take advantage of the right time and place to kill Xiao Zhaocheng and prevent her from returning to the capital, but he did not expect to lose more than a thousand of his most capable warriors, which led to repeated failures afterwards.

It can be said that the current situation all started with that failed assassination attempt.

"Isn't it the dwarf expert that Xiao Zhaocheng found? Is it her? At that time, she was... yes, yes! The stature of a young girl... ha!"

It's ridiculous that they only know of her existence now.

The rapid breathing indicated the excitement of its owner. Xiao Zhaocheng was sitting in the palace and it was difficult for him to reach her, but the person in front of him...

The instigator of his own downfall was all alone...

"You can't kill her." He quickly calmed down, his eyes slightly drooped under his long eyebrows, with a layer of blush, it was unclear whether it was anger or excitement.

"Kill a thousand of my men... Xiao Zhaocheng's most hidden man was finally released."

--------

several years ago.

A galloping carriage followed by several horse-riding guards rushed towards the capital without stopping.

Sitting in the carriage was Her Majesty the Queen, who was still a king. Despite the bumpy ride, she remained as still as a mountain.

But the other person beside her was different.

At that time, although Xiao Zhengdu looked like an adult, his mind was still very restless. His nerves were tense and his head was constantly on guard, fearing that the assassination would come at the next moment.

"Are you afraid?" His Royal Highness King Cheng asked him softly.

"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Zhengdu relied on his height to block his own sister with his body.

But he was also afraid that the assassination might come from somewhere else, so he was in a dilemma.

"Yuxiang Pass has set up a killing trap. I originally wanted you to find another way, so you don't have to take risks with me."

The road to the throne is full of murderous moves. When she left the capital this time, the news was leaked. At the same time, His Majesty was seriously ill and the capital was in chaos.

She had to rush back as quickly as possible.

No matter how many strangleholds she faced on the road, she had to go.

Xiao Zhengdu is not good at studying, but he is pretty good at martial arts. How could he leave his sister in danger and run away?

If something happens to the imperial sister, how can he ever make a name for himself in the capital?

Therefore, I must protect her even at the cost of my life.

“As long as we pass Yuxiang Pass, the people guarding the county ahead will be our own people, and my sister will be safe.

Even if the King of Zheng is well-connected, he can't do anything bad to you in the capital!"

Xiao Zhengdu was a little confused by the bumpy ride, "As long as we pass Yuxiang Pass... my sister will be safe..."

"Don't be afraid." King Cheng once again comforted the brother she had raised with her own hands, "Someone will help."

"Well! I'm not afraid!" Xiao Zhengdu said this, but he had already made up his mind in his heart. If the guards outside were useless, he would use his body to block the killing move, and he would send the imperial sister out of Yuxiang Pass even if he died!

On the Yunwu Mountain at this time.

The gray carrier pigeon landed in front of the bamboo house.

A pair of calloused hands took off the bound letter, and after taking a look at it, his brows furrowed like mountains.

“Xiaoxiao——!”

"Hey!"

A lively girl with shoulder-length hair came out of the bamboo forest with a bamboo leaf on her head, "Master! What are you doing?"

"Your senior sister is in trouble, go help her."

"What's wrong? Someone wants to steal my money?" The girl only knew that my senior sister was a golden thigh, super rich.

The biggest threat she could think of was probably robbers.

The old man was upset. "Your mind is full of vulgar things. Your sister has a big family and a great fortune...someone wants to kill her. Just protect her and get her through Yuxiang Pass."

The girl said, "Oh," OK.

He turned around and was about to jump away, but his master grabbed him by the clothes and asked, "You're going empty-handed?"

The girl didn't react, "...Master, do you want me to bring some local specialties to Senior Sister? But I haven't dug bamboo shoots today..."

"I asked you to bring a weapon! Yuxiang Pass is located in a narrow mountain valley. There are countless people who want to kill your sister. What can you do with nothing?"

The girl said "Oh" again, "But Master, what weapons do we have on the mountain? The hoe is all rusty..."

You can't let her carry a bamboo to fight, right?

“Take all three swords from my room. This is going to be a tough battle, so don’t take it lightly.

Remember, don't waste time talking to your sister unless it's necessary. If you have anything to say, wait until she comes up the mountain the next day!"

The girl couldn't stick to her senior sister. She would talk a lot whenever they met. This was not the time for her to reminisce about the past.

"Okay."

The girl agreed immediately, took the sword and put it on her back, tied her hair into a ponytail with a cloth strip, and said goodbye to her master.

"Then I'm leaving, Master. Would you please tell Senior Sister to buy me a new hoe next time we come to the mountain... otherwise it will be hard to dig bamboo shoots..."

"...Get lost! If you keep on wasting time, your senior sister will be dead in Yuxiang Pass! Hurry up and leave!"

“What’s the hurry…” The girl quickly disappeared. The old man walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, feeling worried and unable to even drink his favorite wine.

As we got closer to Yuxiang Pass, the road became narrower and more dangerous, especially in the dark night under the heavy rain.

Xiao Zhengdu had completely lost hope as to what the imperial sister was talking about.

The carriage was running fast, and it would never stop even if it knew the road ahead was dangerous.

Amid the regular sound of horse hooves, a strange and sudden sound came from the top of the carriage, like a switch, triggering Xiao Zhengdu's entire body's alert.

There's someone up there!!

He held the sword in one hand and stared at the top of the carriage, ready to strike, but his good sister raised her lips and held down his still thin young body with one hand.

"She is coming."

On a rainy night,

The girl who appeared out of nowhere grabbed the top of the carriage with one hand, lowered her body and merged with the carriage.

A pair of eyes swept across the top of Yuxiang Pass Mountain under the black hair wet by the rain, and a figure seemed to be there and not there.

So many people!

She wanted to say hello to her senior sister in the carriage, but the arrows flying at her were shining silver, piercing through the raindrops, densely packed, and there were also those guys in black clothes rushing up -

These bandits were better dressed than she was.

Well, there's no time to talk now.
