Chapter 23 Sword Dance

People always encounter unpreparedness and are caught off guard. At this time, they don’t care about fear or have other ideas. People like Princess Taiping who have no experience in physical combat can only wait for death.

Xue Chongxun is much better. After all, the ability he practices the most is martial arts, and his response is almost out of instinct and his mind is blank.

The girl missed a single blow and launched a second attack without any hesitation. In the flash of lightning, Xue Chongxun could even feel the sound of the sharp sword cutting through the air.

Princess Taiping was in his arms, and there was no defense on her entire back. She said that it was Chi Nao that she was approaching with a cold murderous attack.

Xue Chongxun immediately hugged Princess Taiping's waist and turned around. With a puff sound, the pain and chill on his left shoulder suddenly reached the bone...

Why did he do this, who knows?

He himself wouldn't understand that he had no time to think about his actions in a moment.

Perhaps it was because he often practiced the body technique of avoiding the stabbing, but in short, the reactions he responded instinctively to the most familiar ways.

ah!

Xue Chongxun let out his right arm without looking back and swept his punch back.

As his fist swung out, his body turned around and turned.

There was an empty wind sound, and it was obvious that a punch was not hit.

Xue Chongxun turned around and couldn't see clearly how the girl avoided the attack. Another flash of eyes, and the rapid assassination came again.

The ghostly quick attack was still in dispersed, his nerves tensed all over his body, and a thin cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Here!Suddenly, there was a dull sound, and the air seemed to solidify in an instant. Xue Chongxun's right hand directly grabbed the sword's edge, and blood immediately dripped into the air.

His left shoulder was injured and affected the muscles of his entire left arm. He couldn't use any force, so he grabbed the short sword tightly with his right hand and immediately twisted it.

The girl was startled and immediately let go of the hilt of the sword, reacting very quickly...

Xue Chongxun realized at this time that this young girl was very skilled in fighting skills.

Congratulations!Princess Taiping shouted out tremblingly at this time.

Xue Chongxun's hands were covered in blood. After snatching the short sword, he did not attack immediately, but continued to stand in front of Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping stared behind her eyes and looked at the wound on Xue Chongxun's left shoulder that was still bleeding. Her shirt was wet, and her face was pale and she couldn't say a word.

Princess Taiping saw a tall figure standing in front, and she felt a strange sense of dependence in her heart, just like a drowning person suddenly grabbed a straw.

There were assassins, assassins... The palace maids and eunuchs shouted in horror. Two eunuchs finally rushed towards the girl who had lost their weapons.

But they immediately screamed twice, and the two of them were kicked without resistance, and they were thrown to the ground and screamed in pain.

Xue Chongxun turned the short sword in his hand over and held it tightly in his hand. His fingers were so curled up and could still press the wound to prevent blood loss in the wound on his hand, but there was no way on his back.

He quickly looked up at the unveiled tiles on the roof, and felt worried: If another assassin of the same skill came down immediately, he really didn't know if he could handle it.

The palace servants in the bedroom are simply useless in fighting, and it will take some time for the guards to come in to rescue the driver.

Several other eunuchs and palace maids surrounded the female assassin Baiyue from left to right. Baiyue was looking for weapons everywhere. Her physique was destined to be unable to compete with her, and she could only rely on sharp weapons and dexterity to defeat the enemy.

Chongxun, how are you?Princess Taiping reached out and pressed Xue Chongxun's wound.

Xue Chongxun didn't answer her question, but said: Let's go!After saying that, he replaced the dagger with another hand, reached out and grabbed Princess Taiping's wrist and ran towards the palace gate.

Bang!

Xue Chongxun and others didn't care about turning back when the heavy object came from behind him blocked the female assassin. They rushed away when the palace maid and eunuch blocked the female assassin. As long as they could avoid it, they would not be able to fight the assassin.

At this time, the wind from somewhere came into the palace. The curtains on both sides fluttered gently with the wind. The two of them held hands and walked through the beautiful silk curtains one by one.

After being extremely nervous, Princess Taiping felt a little dazed after following him. She suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if she was not escaping from assassination, but escaping from a suffocating imprisonment...

It is a bit like the ascension of Xiaoyao described in Yuqing's cultivation.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a figure running over from the hall gate. Xue Chongxun felt tight. After a while, she realized that the person who came from Taoist Yuqing was the Taoist priest. She was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a long sword in her hand. It was probably just now that she had just gotten up, and her hair was not combed. Her hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her long hair was clear and white and thin face.

Did Your Highness meet an assassin?Yuqing asked, then glanced at Xue Chongxun's blood-dropped hand.

Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief: That's right, right behind.

Xue Chongxun saw Yuqing using a sword when he was in Luoyang. This female Taoist priest not only knows how to refine elixirs, but also knows sword skills. When she came, she felt relieved.

At this moment, the girl assassin was already running from behind. It seemed that the palace maids and eunuchs were freed in a moment...

So a large group of people are useless to deal with a little girl who has lost her weapons. What is it that she is not a waste?

Princess Taiping said: I’m chasing you!

Yuqing said: Your Highness, don’t worry, I will meet her for a while.After saying that, the elegant figure flashed, he pinched a sword technique with his left hand and made a cross-sword with his right hand to respond to the enemy.

But the girl was holding a blood-stained golden hairpin in her hand, probably found from the dressing table.Xue Chongxun was shocked when he saw this: What kind of deep hatred do we have with her family?

At this time, Yu Qing's body movement was elegant, and he had already stabbed two swords, and the wind sounded clearly and obviously had not yet attacked the real thing.

After a moment, with a hissing sound, Jianfeng cut a large hole in the curtain next to him.

The first three sword techniques were not fast or slow, but they completely gained the upper hand even though they had not made up for it. The girl obviously had passive defense and avoided, and could not escape or take the initiative to attack.

After a moment, the sword shadow flashed, Yuqing's movements became faster and faster, and her flexible figure made the sword look like a dance...

She looks good but lacks murderous aura. The essence of her swordsmanship is probably mostly for self-cultivation, but not for killing people. Otherwise, how could she have so many tricks?

The last thing is to save the Lord late, and the crime of death is the sin of death!Suddenly, a big man with iron armor fell to the ground with a loud bang, almost piercing the carpet brick floor.

Princess Taiping pointed behind her and said: Why are you still kneeling down? Take it down for me!

Follow the order.The big man quickly got up, picked up a long-handled sword on the ground, and killed it!He shouted and rushed forward with a group of iron men.

Soon more and more guards came in, surrounded by armor, protecting Princess Taiping and others in the middle, with several layers of iron walls inside and outside.

Now they are safe. Even if an army comes to assassinate with random arrows, it is unlikely that such heavy defense can be easily overcome.

These people who are serving in the palace guards may not be very good at martial arts, but their height will definitely not be too bad. They are mainly for the dignity of the ceremonial guards. They are all tall men. They stand a few floors around and completely block their eyes. I don’t know how the female assassin was subdued.

But there is no suspense that the assassin Baiyue was caught. However, in a short while, she didn't even have the chance to escape or even commit suicide and was beaten to death.

The troops made way out and saw Baiyue being pressed to the ground and unable to move, her mouth was covered in blood. Her very delicate body struggled for two times and proved that she was not dead.

Princess Taiping said: Imperial Doctor, hurry up and find the Imperial Doctor!

Xue Chongxun lost a lot of blood and looked pale, but he was still standing there.

Princess Taiping looked at him with a complicated expression, you... She really didn't know how to express her mood at this moment. She probably didn't expect Xue Chongxun to use her body to block the sword for herself.

Xue Chongxun's reactions and practices were completely instinctive, and he was not mentally prepared at all. He himself did not think about right or wrong.

But at this time the crisis gradually passed, and his thinking had returned to normal. Seeing that Princess Taiping looked moved, she realized that this was an opportunity, so she hurriedly fell to the ground and said with emotion: As long as my mother is safe, my son will feel at ease even if he dies.

Princess Taiping hurriedly reached out to help him, and couldn't help but feel moved.She was really moved and couldn't say anything good, but just stared at Xue Chongxun, who looked sincerely.

At this time, Xue Chongxun asked: Who is the chief guard tonight?

Most of the soldiers stood up and stood up, and did not dare to speak. A general walked to the hall gate from outside and fell to the ground and said: Your Highness, the Yulin Commander Liang Wu knew that his dereliction of duty had caused the assassin to enter Your Highness's bedroom. His crime was unforgivable, and he had already made apologize in front of Changchun Palace.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun walked out of the door, stood by the building and looked down. He saw a general kneeling under the verge and motionless, as if he was dead.

Princess Taiping's anger faded a little after hearing this and sighed: Don't implicate her family, and bury the body with great strength.

After a while, the soldiers downstairs carried two more hedgehogs to the Quexia. They saw that the two were covered with arrows, at least dozens of them, and they probably could not die anymore.

The following people reported: Two assassins outside the hall resisted stubbornly and were shot with arrows by the guards and were killed.

The imperial physician came up to heal Xue Chongxun. At this time, Yu Liben glanced at the female assassin Baiyue who was pressed to the ground and whispered: After asking the envoy behind the scenes, His Highness King Jin wanted to deal with the assassin... How could she die?

A trace of cold hatred flashed across Princess Taiping's face, and she said coldly: Let her beg for death!

Yu Liben hurriedly said: I must continue to give her the order to survive and die...
