Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

A moment later, Xu Ce hurried over.

Nan Huaishuo looked at Xu Ce with a smile, his tone very gentle.

"Master Xu, I wonder if you really meant what you said before."

There was no expression on Xu Ce's tense face, and he no longer had the previous confusion and anger, like a fish placed on the chopping board that no longer struggled.

"I will never go back on my word. I will obey your orders, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Nan Huaishuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Here is an opportunity for you to show your loyalty."

……

On the official road on the south side of the capital, less than two hundred miles away from the capital, Nan Rongjing had only five guards around him at this moment.

Too many people might attract the attention of the surveillance. This was discovered when Nan Rongjing was 500 miles away from the capital. Someone was monitoring the road into the capital, and there were even people following on the small roads.

Nan Rongjing didn't know whether these people were targeting him, but he intuitively felt that this matter was related to him.

He had been away from the capital for a whole month. In another day, he would arrive in the capital. The reason he was one day late was precisely because of these lingering "eyes".

The group disguised themselves as a caravan, pulling a cart of silk, and were not moving very fast.

"Your Highness, if we pass through the dense forest ahead, we can shorten the journey by thirty miles and arrive in the capital half a day earlier."

Nan Rongjing looked up at the dense forest in front of him. Countless towering trees stood straight and sparsely distributed at the foot of the mountain, blocking out the sky and the sun. The depths of the dense forest were dark and without light.

It's really a good place for an ambush.

Nan Rongjing was alert. Since there were people monitoring him, it was normal for there to be assassinations as well.

But now he just wanted to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to see the figure he had been thinking about day and night. It had been a whole month, and he had never thought that he would be so worried about someone.

"Let's go through the forest."

"Yes!"

The soft ground was covered with fallen leaves and branches, and the horses and wheels made a creaking sound when they rolled over it. This sound echoed in the unusually quiet forest and scared away a flock of birds.

They had walked a short distance when the voice of the guard following Nan Rongjing was heard in a low voice.

"Your Highness, there is something wrong with this forest."

Nan Rongjing nodded calmly. He realized something was wrong the moment he stepped into the forest.

Quiet, too quiet.

Apart from the birds perching on the treetops, there was no other sound. It was the middle of summer, and even if there were no large wild beasts in this dense forest, there would at least be small animals like squirrels and hares.

But now there is nothing in sight.

Animals have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they will run away and hide when they sense danger.

So, there are things in this forest that scare them.

Nan Rongjing's eyes darkened, "Speed ​​up!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of breaking through the air resounded throughout the dense forest. The inky black arrows flew through the dense forest like horizontally falling raindrops, and flew straight towards Nan Rongjing and his group.

Nan Rongjing and his close bodyguards were extremely skilled and dodged the rain of arrows in the blink of an eye. They each found a thick tree trunk to hide behind.

There are plenty of places to hide when using arrows in the dense forest.

Sure enough, the other party did not expect that the arrows could kill them. After a rain of arrows, dozens of masked men in black came towards them from the depths of the jungle.

Nan Rongjing took a quick glance and saw that there were at least sixty people.

One to ten!

The other party obviously wanted to finish them off in this dense forest. Every man in black was wielding a sword, and the clanging sound of gold weapons suddenly resounded throughout the dense forest.

The men in black are all very skilled in Kung Fu, and you can see that some of them can cooperate with each other and have a good understanding of each other, but the others are fighting alone and don't seem to be familiar with each other.

Two groups of people?

When Nan Rongjing saw that he could mobilize two groups of people to assassinate his opponent, he immediately thought of Nan Huaishuo.

The group of people fighting each other were obviously assassins, and Nan Rongjing was very familiar with their moves...

Isn't this the move used by the assassin who once assassinated Lin Yushu? !

It turned out to be the assassin from the small wine shop in the south of the city.

But the other group of people were more open and honest. Unlike the death squad, they did not like sneak attacks. They were obviously familiar with each other. Where did these people come from?

Before he could think any further, he and his five guards were forced to retreat.

The difference in the number of people is too big!

Just as he blocked a few long swords in front of him, several more long swords immediately stabbed out from the side. If he was slow to react, he would be stabbed into a hornet's nest in an instant.

The guards around Nan Rongjing gradually became exhausted, with bloody wounds all over their bodies.

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"

Nan Rongjing's expression gradually became irritated, and a feeling of brutality rose from his heart.

Compared to Lin Yushu's favorite use of poison, he preferred to dismember the enemy with a knife himself, so at this moment he still calmly chopped off a hand with his left hand and pierced a leg with his right hand.

He was enjoying the killing, but the guards around him were obviously unable to resist.

Disappointing!

Nan Rongjing held the sword in one hand and swung it out with dazzling sword flowers. Wherever the sword went, blood and broken limbs splashed. With the other hand, he reached into his arms and took out a medicine bottle. This was the poison that Lin Yushu gave him for self-defense before he left.

However, before he could open the bottle of medicine, something strange happened!

A guard behind Nan Rongjing was injured and fell. Seeing this, two men in black rushed to him and stabbed at his head with swords raised.

These guards have been with Nan Rongjing for more than ten years. Even though they are not as close to Nan Rongjing as Mu Shang, for Nan Rongjing, who has been "fatherless" and motherless since childhood, they are more like family than Prince Jin.

In a flash, Nan Rongjing's body moved faster than his thinking. He swung the hand holding the medicine bottle downwards and hit one of the men in black with his elbow, breaking his arm backwards.

The man in black who was hit screamed and knocked down another man in black who was wielding a sword sideways, and the two of them rolled into a ball.

Before Nan Rongjing could even hold his breath, three sword shadows attacked his back at the moment he was distracted.

When Nan Rongjing turned around after hearing the sound, a sharp sword pierced his shoulder...

Gu Zhi, who was standing on the hillside in the distance and had been staring at Nan Rongjing, relaxed his brows and immediately revealed a smile when he saw this scene.

The next day, at the General’s Mansion.

"Miss, Mu Shang wants to see you!"

Chuntao was combing Lin Yushu's hair when Leng Dai suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Lin Yushu raised her eyes and looked at Leng Dai's anxious face in the bronze mirror. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little flustered.

She immediately turned around and looked at Leng Dai with a frown, "Let him in."

Mu Shang no longer had his former cold and sharp temperament. He looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. His usually neat and tidy Yulin guard uniform now looked a little messy. He walked in quickly, and the moment he saw Lin Yushu, he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Princess, something happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
