Chapter 234: Assassination Failed
Gongzi Qingqian sat in his tent as usual and looked at the topographic map.
The border battlefield covered by night has temporarily calmed down. Rouxin changed into a red candle and poured a cup of tea for Gongzi Qingqian.
Hanguang stood beside the young master Qingqian and looked out the window. His brows were frowning, looking worried.
The situation at the border was extremely severe. The enemy's troops were several times more powerful than me, and Hanguang tried several times to persuade Gongzi Qingqian to give up this town. But he knew Gongzi Qingqian too well. It was almost impossible to let him give up here and place residents in the fire and fire.
"Young Master! It's time to rest!" Liu Tao walked into the camp and said with a tribute.
"Not busy!" Gongzi Qingqian took a pen and circled the topographic map.
Liu Tao walked out of the tent. Suddenly, he found something seemed to be spraying on the tent opposite, and a large area of blackened. Then, the candlelight in the tent went out.
"Young Master! There is something wrong!" Liu Tao drew his sword and stared at the tent opposite him with his eyes.
Three darts rushed straight to Liu Tao and the two guards beside him.
Liu Tao used his sword to push away two darts. Another dart was inserted into the throat of a guard.
"Guard the head coach!" the remaining guard shouted.
At this time, more than a dozen masked men in black rushed out of the tent opposite. They pushed away the feather arrows and rushed over. Liu Tao held the sword to meet the enemy. Only then did he realize that these people were all very skilled in martial arts.
"You go out and have a look!" Young Master Qingqian said to Han Guang.
Han Guang left the camp and saw that Liu Tao was besieged by several masked men in black, and he was already in danger. If he hadn't had his light skills and his dodging timely, he would have been hit.
Hanguang killed two men in black with a sword. He and Liu Tao joined forces to confront the eight masters of Linguo.
The other man in black rushed into Gongzi Qingqian's camp. The soft-hearted Lingxiao sword technique made the masked man in black frightened. They had never seen such a fast sword technique.
Liu Tao and Hanguang were forced into the tent. After Rouxin killed the three of them, Hanguang and Liu Tao joined forces to protect Gongzi Qingqian.
"Kill Gongzi Qingqian at any cost!" Zhang Xuan, the leader, issued a death order.
He intercepted Rouxin and fought. Six people surrounded Liu Tao and Hanguang.
The remaining four people took the sword and rushed straight to Gongzi Qingqian. Hanguang injured his arm and blocked Gongzi Qingqian with his sword.
The bright red blood dripped from the light-hiding left arm, and the young master Qingqian's right eyelid twitched.
The two of them entangled Han Guang. The other two held swords and stabbed Gongzi Qingqian's chest.
Only two sounds of "Puff! Puff!" were heard, and the two masked masters fell to the ground and died. They only knew that the young master Qingqian's legs were broken, but they ignored that his martial arts were still there.
Zhang Xuan was shocked, his left shoulder was stabbed by Rou Xin. The soldiers in the military camp had rushed in. Zhang Xuan led the remaining nine masters to fight to the death. Seeing that he had no hope of assassinating Young Master Qingqian, he ordered his retreat.
In the end, Zhang Xuan fled back to the Linguo military camp with only two masters.
When the Sixth Prince heard that the assassination failed, his heart became much brighter. Then he asked in detail about the assassination and learned that Rouxin was not hurt, he was quite happy.
"That woman is very powerful! I was hurt under her sword!" Zhang Xuan said gritting his teeth.
"Here you heal their injuries!" The sixth prince said as he saw the doctor coming.
"The Sixth Prince is kind! We have done our best! Please give us a few more beautiful words after returning to Beijing!" Zhang Xuan knew what the assassination failed meant!
"Okay! You guys should recuperate well." The sixth prince said gently.
"We can't conquer for a long time, so we have to think of a way! Otherwise, how can we explain to the emperor? Especially the Sixth Prince, you are the first time you lead the army, you can't just go back like this!" Fan Cheng, the chief general of the border, pounded the table and said.
"There is one way!" The sixth prince's eyes were pounding with the light of candlelight. He wanted to compete with the young master Qingqian!
"What method?" Fan Cheng hurriedly asked.
"Now is the time when the sky is high and the wind is strong, so it is suitable to use fire to attack!" The Sixth Prince wanted to see how Gongzi Qingqian responded.
"Young Master! The enemy came to attack the city with a thick shield, and our arrows could not hurt them. After pushing them back, they found that the soldiers behind the shield were carrying buckets." Liu Tao came to report.
"No! They want to attack with fire!" What happened to Gongzi Qingqian the most feared thing happened.
"Hurry! Let the people in the city transport sand and soil! Let the soldiers carry sand and soil onto the city wall!" Gongzi Qingqian said anxiously.
"Yes!" Liu Tao went out to pass the order.
The fire still started to ignite. The city tower on the east side had already started to ignite. The black oil in other places was covered and suppressed by sand.
Liu Tao entered the camp and kept coughing. It took him a while to say something: "The fire is basically under control!"
"Okay! Our reinforcements are coming! Instruct the soldiers to hold on for another night!" Young Master Qingqian's phoenix eyes were particularly bright tonight.
"Young Master! Are we really okay?" Rou Xin brought the tea to the young master Qingqian's desk and knelt beside him and asked happily.
"It's okay!" Young Master Qingqian hugged Rouxin and said softly.
Han Guang coughed and walked out. Rouxin's face turned red.
"I'll squeeze your back!" Rouxin got up and walked behind Gongzi Qingqian.
Linguo launched a new round of fierce attacks. Only about 8,000 troops were left on the border.
"Young Master! Some people in the city have fled to Yiyang!" Liu Tao lowered his head to report.
"Let them go!" Young Master Qingqian picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"They will shake the morale of the army!" Liu Tao added.
"It's not a problem! Let them go!" Young Master Qingqian put down the teacup and looked at Liu Tao.
"Yes!" Liu Tao walked out and let people go.
"How do you know he caught those people?" Rouxin asked in confusion.
"If he didn't catch him, he wouldn't say the following words! Why are you still not improving at all?" Young Master Qingqian turned his head and looked at Rou's heart beside him.
"I'm a woman! I won't bother with you!" Rouxin walked to the tea table with her tea bowl.
"Young Master! It's time to have a meal." Hanguang walked in with the food box.
"Where did Xuanfei go?" Young Master Qingqian felt that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"He has probably gone to Xiaozhu and Yaoweng Pharmaceutical. He has too many injuries." Hanguang put the rice on several cases.
Gongzi Qingqian collected the map and asked everyone to eat together. Han Guang refused at first. Rouxin pulled him down and sat down.
"Go and call Liu Tao!" Young Master Qingqian glanced at Rouxin.
"Yes!" Rouxin went out.
Liu Tao had just finished taking a shower, changed into new clothes and walked over. He saw Rouxin and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Young Master calls you!" Rouxin didn't say the word "eating".
Liu Tao entered the tent of Gongzi Qingqian and found Han Guang sitting opposite Gongzi Qingqian. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over to salute.
"Okay! Young Master asked you to have a meal!" Rouxin sat next to Young Master Qingqian.
"I dare not! I'd better go out to eat!" Liu Tao said and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Is it okay to have a meal with me?" Young Master Qingqian was a little unhappy.
"No!" Liu Tao had to turn around and bow.
"Then sit down!" Young Master Qingqian's face turned obviously cold.
"Yes!" Liu Tao had no choice but to kneel beside Han Guang.
"You will become the pillars of Youjing in the future. So let's have a meal together today, even if we congratulate you in advance!" Young Master Qingqian's words made Hanguang and Liu Tao feel a little confused.
"Young Master wants..." Han Guang asked in confusion as he looked at the young master Qingqian who picked up the chopsticks.
"From then on, I will live in seclusion with Rouxin." Gongzi Qingqian handed the chopsticks to Hanguang and Liu Tao.
"I am willing to follow the young master!" Liu Tao bowed.
"No! Then the seventh prince will have doubts, and we will all be killed!" Gongzi Qingqian took a mouthful of the dish and put it in his mouth.
