Bright Spring

The glare of the sun made her feel a little dizzy.In a trance, the voices that had said mother countless times echoed again as if they were imprisoned in their minds.

Those white mantras, like a mournful ghost in the middle of the night, and like the sound of the wind falling into the endless abyss, will always be entwined in her heart.

Duan Xue couldn't help but touch the old scar on his arm, every mark seemed to be able to hear the sound of a whip, and even now he could still feel the pain of the whip.What does mother say this pain is?Your biological father was scalded with a branding iron by members of the Mu family, and every blow was more painful than this!

Sometimes when Duan Xue hates seeing Buddha statues, he can't help but think about those perfect Bodhisattvas who fell into the boundless hell for some reason... This is probably my late father's impression.

But Duan Xuehen couldn't tell what kind of person his mother was.If it wasn't for some time to play, my mother never smiled in front of her; Duan Xuehen probably did the same, I can't remember when I laughed.

Duan Xuehen even felt that her mother hated her daughter, she hated everyone.However, the only person close to Duan Xuehen is her mother Duan Yang; without Duan Yang, Duan Xuehen would not have grown so big.

... In the past 20 years, she has learned many things, most of which are assassination, poisoning, opening doors, and climbing over walls.If she is fighting with warriors in the sun, she is not necessarily better than others; what she wants is to take advantage of people's unpreparedness and make a surprise attack!

What happened in the Liyuan last time resurfaced in front of my eyes again, and the attack that I thought was bound to succeed also missed.That incident left a shadow on her, and Duan Xuehen was even more uncertain at this moment, thinking that it would not be easy to assassinate these warriors who led the troops to fight.

So for the past three days, Duan Xuehen has been skeptical, will he really succeed in assassinating Mu Sheng in broad daylight this time?

However, if I missed this time, as my mother said, once the incident in Dali happens, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to kill my enemy with my own hands again!

Duan Xue hated every once in a while, so she glanced sideways through the crack of the door. From here, she could see the situation of the street outside clearly.At this moment, a group of people appeared outside the main gate of Mu Mansion, and they were slowly coming here!

Duan Xuehen's body tensed immediately, his eyes stayed in the crack of the door, carefully observing the situation on the street.She hoped to see Mu Sheng riding a horse, not a car!

After a while, she finally saw clearly that a carriage was surrounded by a group of guards, and the person sitting inside might be Mu Sheng...

Duan Xuehen's heart turned cold, and suddenly a sense of fear welled up in her heart.She had thought that her heart was already ashamed and she would not be afraid of anything, but she didn't expect that at this time, she still had great fear.

At this moment, is she afraid of failure or death?She couldn't tell. Fear was probably very difficult to restrain, and it was born with people.

Duan Xuehen sat back to his original position, picked up the crossbow at hand, and breathed slowly and long.She closed her eyes slightly, imagining the position of the team of people; guessing, after the horse pulling the cart was hit by the crossbow, those people's respective reactions and running positions.

There was still a trace of panic in her heart.

Duan Xuehen said to herself silently in her heart: if a person is alive, if there is only pain, hatred and fear, then death may be a relief.At least the bitterness and tiredness that she didn't want to face can no longer be felt.It was as if a huge stone on her body was suddenly removed, and a kind of relaxation was calling to her.

She opened her eyes suddenly, with only a cold and fierce light in her eyes, she drew a crossbow | arrow, and pulled the crossbow string forcefully.

Chapter 249 The battle is too big

/p>The rapid sound of horseshoes echoed in the air. Zhu Gaoxu raised the curtain of the car and glanced back and forth, feeling that the sound of horseshoes came from more than one direction.

Galloping horses are usually not allowed in the city, and at this time pedestrians on the street started running around.Baskets with bearers tumbled to the ground, fruits were scattered everywhere, and the fabrics hanging under the eaves were flying in the wind.A panicked cry came from nowhere...

Seeing this messy scene, Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that the atmosphere was full of tension.

But he thought: Yao Fang had just returned to Kunming on a fast horse, even if the incident happened in Dali, it would not spread to Kunming so quickly.So the turmoil in Zhu Gaoxu's heart also disappeared, and he looked around calmly.

Under the escort of the horse team, Zhu Gaoxu's carriage had just arrived at the intersection when he suddenly saw a woman in Tsing Yi staggering and falling against the wall.She was struggling to grab the wall and try to get up.

Zhu Gaoxu took a closer look and recognized the woman at a glance, she was the female assassin who assassinated in Liyuan!

Not only her pale skin color is special, but Zhu Gaoxu remembers her appearance.At that time in Liyuan, the assassin's attack really made Zhu Gaoxu deeply feel the threat and fear, so he was very impressed.

"Stop!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered.

He jumped off the carriage and walked up to the female assassin.She looked up at Zhu Gaoxu vigilantly, froze for a moment, and seemed to recognize him.Pressing the arrow wound on the outer side of her thigh with her hand, she looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a complicated expression, only despair and fear remained in her eyes, and she didn't even say a word.

She is Duan Yang's daughter, Duan Xue hates it!

The sound of hooves seemed to be getting closer, and horses galloped from both ends.

Not allowing any hesitation, Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much, and immediately said a word: "I can help you." He stretched out his hand after speaking.

Duan Xuehen stared at his face, gritted her teeth and stood up, finally took Zhu Gaoxu's hand lightly.Zhu Gaoxu immediately held her arm and helped her into the carriage.

"The person chasing me is the guard of the Mu residence." Duan Xuehen said a word.

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Duan Xuehen said the reason why those people chased her again: "I almost killed Mu Sheng just now."

Zhu Gaoxu was still very calm: "You don't need to worry about anything, I understand."

Zhu Gaoxu's mother once said a word: Clothes are prestige and money is courage.Isn't money equal to power?Anyone can be stable as long as they have enough strength.

So he was very calm and calm at this time.In the territory of Yunnan, if you really want to play hard, what forces will fight against the [-] elite guards in the Han Palace alone?After saying that, he took out a white silk handkerchief from his sleeve, gently wiped away the blood beside the car door, and then put the handkerchief back into his sleeve pocket.Duan Xuehen next to him has been watching him.

Duan Xuehen may be a little confused about Zhu Gaoxu's actions, but why doesn't Zhu Gaoxu himself have doubts?

After finishing this matter, he realized it later and wondered about his subconscious reason.Perhaps most men have some pity for young women; and Duan Xuehen's speed and intimidation in Liyuan back then not only made Zhu Gaoxu's heart skip a beat, but also made him recognize her talent... For a talented person, all The instinct of the superior is to win over and possess first, and then to destroy, so as not to retaliate against oneself.

"Stop!" shouted from outside the car.Duan Xuehen next to Zhu Gaoxu showed a slightly frightened look.

Chen Dachui's voice said: "This is the chariot of the King of Han, how dare you block it? Hurry up and get out of the way!"

The voice said just now: "An assassin came here, offended."

Chen Dachui said: "Then why don't you catch the assassin quickly and stop the King of Han's car?"

The voice said: "The assassin is injured, look at the blood here. She can't go far, please check the carriage at the end."

Chen Dachui's voice said: "What is your identity, can you check the prince's car?"

Zhu Gaoxu opened a corner of the car curtain, only showing half of his face.Zhao Ping clasped his fists on the horse and said, "My lord, someone is blocking the way."

A strong general rode his horse to the side of the carriage, got off the horse and cupped his fists and said, "May I ask you, are you His Highness the King of Han?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought in his heart: You are not good enough, you are not qualified to talk to me.

He didn't even look at the general, and said to Zhao Ping: "Zhao Ping, you go back to the palace first. Order the Yi Guards and the Guard Office to come here to pick me up. Order Wang Bin, Wei Da, and Liu Ying to summon the three guards from the left, middle and right. Army, the whole army is on standby at the school ground immediately."

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he handed the seal of the personal guard to the corner of the car window.Zhao Ping got off his horse and knelt down on one knee to receive it: "The last general has orders!"

Just now the general stood there in a daze, looking at the seal in Zhao Ping's hand, wanted to check but didn't say anything.

Zhu Gaoxu directly put down the curtain of the car. "Shua! Shua..." The sound of guards drawing their swords sounded outside the carriage.Chen Dachui's voice said: "Anyone who approaches the prince's carriage will be shot to death!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Guard the prince!"

Duan Xuehen endured the pain and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in shock.

At this moment, the voice of the general who blocked the way just now said: "Get out of the way!"

The carriage continued to move forward, there was a long silence in the carriage, Duan Xuehen said in a voice: "King of Han, why is there such a big battle?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said: "I have other uses for mobilizing soldiers and horses." He then asked kindly, "Is your injury serious?"

Duan Xuehen's gaze flickered a little, and her expression seemed a little surprised. She lowered her head and said, "There is no fear of life."
