Encountering Danger for the First Time Chapter 22
The masked man was extremely ferocious, and the guards of the Wang Mansion had already lost the initiative. In their hasty response, they couldn't help but be somewhat flustered.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and outside there was a continuous banging sound. Summer didn't know what had happened, and curiously lifted the curtain. As soon as she poked out half of her head, a shiny steel knife came straight at her. The white light was dazzling, the blade was sharp, and she was so scared that she closed her eyes, almost stopping breathing.
"Bang!" A crisp sound came from above, and the suppressed breath suddenly disappeared.
"Your Highness, please don't come out, I will quickly eliminate these assassins."
In the summer, she opened her eyes to the sound of a commotion, only to see the charioteer's guard lying on the ground, while the warrior stood in front of the carriage, holding a long sword and fighting off the masked men. The guards from the palace were also engaged in battle with the masked men, each wielding their own weapons. A strong smell of blood wafted through the air, making her stomach churn as she hastily retreated back into the carriage.
She never thought that someone would want to kill her, which is simply unimaginable in modern times. She knew that there were no human rights in ancient times, but she didn't expect that even basic personal safety couldn't be guaranteed. For the first time, she felt that this was a truly terrifying place.
As he gazed ahead at the buildings on both sides, a mesmerizing cloud of sand particles rose and fell. Xia Yang immediately sensed danger. He waved his hand to stop the carriages of the Xia family, but his own horse didn't slow down in the slightest. Sure enough, in an instant, a large group of masked men surged out onto the street, their target fixed on the Ling Wang Fu's carriage.
"Big brother, where are you going?" Xia Feng pulled tight on the reins and shouted towards Xia Yang's back.
Xia Yang's eyes flashed like lightning, his expression stern. Although he was anxious in his heart, his face grew even calmer. "Third brother, you stay behind."
Jingchu left half of his guards to protect Xiafeng and the carriage, and took the other half to chase after them.
"Big brother!" Xia Shuang also wanted to ride forward and join the battle array, but looking back at the horse carriage behind her, she restrained herself and didn't move.
The curtain was lifted, and Jingfen stared at the white figure rushing forward in front of her with a mixture of worry and anxiety. When faced with danger, the person he wanted to protect wasn't even his wife, but rather his own sister, and yet her heart still felt inexplicably sour and bitter, filled with unbearable pain.
Two people were standing in the shadows of a street corner, one wearing a large black cloak with a lowered hat that almost covered their entire face.
"Your Majesty is wise, and indeed the Fourth Prince is heading for summer. However, Xia Yang is also here, so I'm afraid today's matter will be difficult to accomplish."
The man in black smiled and said indifferently, "Originally, I didn't expect him to succeed, but just borrowed this arrogant and reckless child to stir up the muddy water, so that Ben Jun could see things more clearly."
"My lord, what should I do next?"
"Situ Xie has a mind to control the imperial court, and he is extremely fond of power and status. Such a person has both abilities and weaknesses, making him a rare good chess piece for us. You follow him closely and try your best to win his trust, I will give you instructions at any time."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
The carriage moved slightly, and she cowered in the corner, trembling with fear. Death was so close to her that she could feel the presence of the god of death. The carriage suddenly shook violently and then galloped forward fiercely. She was thrown to the edge of the door by inertia and almost fell off.
The horse galloped swiftly, the carriage curtains were blown to one side by the wind, and Xia Tian's face turned pale as he grasped the carriage door with a death grip, his upper body almost hanging outside the carriage.
"Princess!" War Ender swung his sword to drive away several masked men, and with a burst of energy, he chased after the out-of-control carriage.
Bang! ~~ Bang! ~~
Large raindrops fell on my face, originally still distinguishable one by one, but soon the raindrops turned into a curtain of rain, dense and urgent, connecting into pieces.
In the summer, she was half-hanging on a horse-drawn carriage, with rainwater hitting her face and hurting, her fingernails breaking due to excessive force, and the strength in her hands growing weaker. Suddenly, a rapid horseshoe sound approached, and before she knew it, he was by her side. She turned her head sideways in fear, and saw a white-clad figure on a white horse, as if a celestial being had descended. Her tears suddenly blurred her vision.
