Chapter 559
Li Jiye and Li Qingnu are also planning to return to Liang Kingdom, but the time has not been determined yet. They want to take this opportunity to visit the bustling scene of Healthy City again.

Zhu Xiuyuan, as the receptionist for the Liang State envoys and Li Jiye's only friend in the Chen State, naturally needed to accompany him.

In addition, Dong Shuzhen also came. When she met Li Qingnu and Li Qingnu, she held hands and chatted, and walked aside instead of joining Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye...

Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to let out a long sigh. After so many days, Li Qingnu was still avoiding him!
He really wanted to explain clearly to her face to face that if she wanted to punish her, she would be punished, and it could be regarded as a solution to a problem in his heart.

But now, Li Qingnu didn't give him a chance at all, and Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't get along with him alone.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt like he was stuck in his throat, so he could only look for another good opportunity...

The "remaining warmth" of the Shangyuan Festival has not completely dissipated. According to the old practice of previous years, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival will continue for three days.

Today is the day after the Shangyuan Festival, which means there is still another day to watch the lanterns tomorrow.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Li Jiye, Li Qingnu, and Dong Shuzhen traveled together and visited various scenic spots around the capital, such as Mochou Lake and Shenlie Mountain, all of which left their footprints.

After the tour, everyone was a little tired, so they went back to their homes to rest, and agreed to go to the Qinhuai River tomorrow to take advantage of the "remaining warmth" of the Lantern Festival to finally appreciate the bustling beauty.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others traveled as agreed, and it was still him, Li Jiye, Li Qingnu, and Dong Shuzhen.

Along the Qinhuai River, Chaoku Street.

The entrance to Wuyi Lane.

The time was midnight, about nine o'clock in the morning.

The four of them, Zhu Xiuyuan, had been shopping for half a day and felt a little tired, so they planned to go to Dong Shuyu to rest for a while.

Li Qingnu and Dong Shuzhen walked in front. They held hands, talked closely, and laughed, just like sisters.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye fell behind. As they walked, they were still discussing a topic.

Zhu Xiuyuan was a little absent-minded. He moved slowly, but his eyes fell on Li Qingnu's back from time to time.

This time, Zhu Xiuyuan felt the distance of Li Qingnu as the princess of Liang Kingdom!

out of reach!
After all this time, he still hasn't found a chance, eh...

This feeling always makes Zhu Xiuyuan feel like it is out of reach!

Don't look at Li Qingnu who calls him "senior brother" affectionately, and sometimes acts cute, like a girl next door.

However, once people become aloof, they become so out of reach and unattainable...

Behind Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye was Yan Dashan.

Behind him were the generals of the mansion in plain clothes, and Liang soldiers also in plain clothes, about thirty of them.

These thirty or so people were only visible in person, there were hundreds more secretly scattered among the crowds of people on the street.

This security force can be said to be very powerful.

However, in the face of highly skilled assassins, this level of security force seems redundant!
That is, in an instant, a mutation occurs!
When Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes vaguely withdrew from Li Qingnu's back again, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of five or six people suddenly rising up to his right and running towards him like crazy.

These people were wearing ordinary people's clothes, nothing special, and they were not conspicuous at all among the crowd.

But their behavior of rushing over like crazy was extremely unusual.

Zhu Xiuyuan just caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye. He didn't react because the time was too short.

However, the visual images coming in are endless, regardless of whether you can react or not.

In a short period of time, the images of "those five or six people pulling out their shining daggers" and "other 'citizens' in the crowd hurriedly stopped them" were forced into Zhu Xiuyuan's mind.

Perhaps it was because the amount of information was too large and he couldn't react, and his brain couldn't process the information. The picture that was forced in made Zhu Xiuyuan feel a kind of pain like acupuncture.

Even the corner of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth still had a downward curve. It was a bitter smile because Li Qingnu didn't give him a chance to explain.

Finally, a second seemed to pass. Zhu Xiuyuan turned his head to the side like a nervous reflex. This was purely a subconscious reaction.

But what he saw was a scene of "the tip of a dagger rapidly zooming in". Behind it, there seemed to be two or three assassins being stopped by plainclothes.

But the assassin who rushed forward came straight towards him. The tip of the dagger was almost in a straight line without any trembling in the middle.

In an instant, Zhu Xiuyuan's whole body tensed up. Although he could not make any evasive movements, there was a death-like reaction deep in his heart, and his whole body was trembling with chills.

Now Zhu Xiuyuan is like a frightened old hen. When someone scares him, he will automatically curl up on the ground and be "picked up" by others.

"Well... sir..."

Suddenly, a cry from the abyss sounded in my ears, a little far away, hazy, and inaudible.

The tip of the dagger was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that the next moment, his vision would be completely black!
"Husband... Jun..."

"Emperor...brother..."

Vaguely, Zhu Xiuyuan seemed to hear two more shouts, both of which were extremely horrified, frightening and heartbreaking.

In that short period of time, the image of Dong Shuzhen seemed to appear in Zhu Xiuyuan's mind.

When he traveled to this world, Dong Shuzhen was the first person to treat him well. She was lively and cute, simple and carefree, although sometimes, Dong Shuzhen could make people's heads explode.

But more often than not, getting along with them is joyful and joyful.

For this reason, Zhu Xiuyuan has completely integrated into this world...

But now, are you about to leave her?
Just like that world, not even a single greeting could be left, there were so many things in my heart, I couldn't say a word, so I just left like this?

At that moment, Zhu Xiuyuan felt a kind of sadness.

It was an unspeakable loneliness...

It's such a huge regret to leave without leaving a word!

boom!
However, at that critical moment, Zhu Xiuyuan was hit hard on the back.

The force was so strong that Zhu Xiuyuan felt like a kite with its string cut off, and was knocked away.

Everything inside was burned, as if the whole body was broken into several pieces.

He almost fainted. He only felt pain all over his body and his head was extremely dizzy.

Damn it, who is it? Even if he was not killed by that dagger, he would be killed by the collision...

His head felt dizzy for a while, and Zhu Xiuyuan always felt that there was a lot of noise in his ears, as if someone was shouting something loudly.

The drowsiness in my head gradually subsided, and the noise in my ears became clearer and clearer.

Finally, he heard clearly that there was a woman crying loudly: "... Husband... wake up soon... Husband... don't let anything happen to you... Husband... don't die... 嘤嘤嘤!”

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

It turned out that he was lying in Dong Shuzhen's arms. The figureless Dong Shuzhen was sitting on the ground, holding Zhu Xiuyuan tightly with one hand and wiping tears on his face with the other.

At this time, Zhu Xiuyuan's head became clearer again, and he could already hear that there was a "background sound" amidst Dong Shuzhen's crying.

It was an angry roar and the clang of weapons. Judging from the sound, it seemed that a fight was going on over there. "Madam..."

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his arm, holding Dong Shuzhen's face wet with tears, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"..."

Dong Shuzhen's wailing stopped abruptly.

She put down the hand on her face, looked down quickly, and saw that Zhu Xiuyuan had woken up, opened his eyes, and held half of her face with one hand.

She burst into tears of joy, and the look of crying on her face had not disappeared. A smile forced its appearance again, so her face looked particularly weird.

"... Husband!"

Thousands of words, finally reduced to these two words.

The feeling of surprise could not be concealed.

"Madam, it's so nice to see you again!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan held her face in his hands, he didn't think it was enough, so he pinched it again and again, as if he wanted to feel her baby's fat face.

Naturally, Dong Shuzhen couldn't tell the profound meaning of Zhu Xiuyuan's words.

This time, he almost thought he would never see Dong Shuzhen again, and he would just leave without saying hello.

Unexpectedly, things changed, and he escaped from hell and came back to life.

Now that he saw his little lady again, Zhu Xiuyuan felt very happy and suddenly felt that the world was beautiful!
At the same time, the discomfort all over his body gradually subsided, and he was filled with a feeling of happiness.

As soon as his body recovered a little bit, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately figured out that he was being assassinated again!
So Zhu Xiuyuan struggled to get up. Seeing this, Dong Shuzhen got up first, and then helped Zhu Xiuyuan stand up.

It turned out that Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were surrounded by three layers of plainclothes, blocking their view. So Dong Shuzhen supported him, pulled off the three layers of plainclothes, and looked at the crime scene where a fierce fight was going on.

In the battle circle, there were more than 20 assassins dressed in plain clothes, some holding daggers, or holding broadswords and swords, etc., showing their fierce looks, and they were working together to kill in one direction.

Yan Dashan and several plainclothes men, who could not tell whether they were Jiangcheng Bofu's generals or soldiers of the Liang Kingdom, were stubbornly blocking the way, lying on the road, fighting to the death with the assassins.

In addition, the entire battle circle was surrounded by hundreds of plainclothes. They all held knives in their hands, hunched over, raised their swords diagonally, and were on alert.

In fact, the individual skills of these hundreds of plainclothes men are not very strong, at least far inferior to those of these assassins.

Only Yan Dashan and the several plainclothes men who were fighting with their high skills could stop the attacks of these assassins.

However, Nayan Dashan was already injured. There was a big gash on one arm, and blood was flowing freely, as if for free, dyeing his entire body red.

"Husband, Yan Dashan just pushed you, and the dagger stabbed his arm..."

Dong Shuzhen supported Zhu Xiuyuan, and at the same time she clung to him tightly, as close as a little cotton-padded jacket.

"I see!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded. Although Yan Dashan pushed him hard and almost pushed him to death, he still saved his life...

Zhu Xiuyuan looked behind Yan Dashan and saw many plainclothes people gathered there.

Moreover, the group of plainclothes men seemed to be carrying something and kept retreating.

The Assassins kept attacking and killing, seemingly not giving up if they couldn't succeed.

What are they carrying?

Zhu Xiuyuan hesitated for a while, then suddenly his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Brother Li!"

At this moment, as the group of plainclothes men moved, a gap was revealed, and Zhu Xiuyuan could see clearly at once.

The person they were protecting was indeed Li Jiye.

Moreover, Li Jiye had lost consciousness and was lying on the ground. He seemed to be asleep, and he also seemed to be... dead!

But looking at the performance of these assassins, they seem to be unwilling to give up, which means that Li Jiye is probably not dead yet. Otherwise, why are the assassins still holding on?
Destroying corpses?
impossible.

After Zhu Xiuyuan figured this out, he felt a chill in his head and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't die.

If Li Jiye really died in Chen Guo, then...

That's a huge change!
After he breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown again.

These assassins clung to Li Jiye, and it seemed that their target was Li Jiye.

The man who assassinated him just now must have followed the trend...

Suddenly, Zhu Xiuyuan saw Li Qingnu guarding Li Jiye again.

At this time, Li Qingnu no longer looked dignified and elegant.

Her long skirt was covered with dust, her temples were bunned crookedly, and she looked very embarrassed.

However, at this time, it is obviously not the time to take personal image into account.

Li Qingnu guarded her imperial brother tightly, watching all directions and hearing all directions, holding a rapier in his hand, ready to fight with anyone at any time.

This shocking change came too suddenly!
The streets in front of Dong Yulou turned into a war ring, surrounded by hundreds of plainclothes.

Passers-by on the street, as well as diners coming in and out of Dong Yulou, were frightened and retreated several feet.

The timid one had already been frightened and fled, scattered to various parts of the city, and spread the news of the shocking incident in front of Dong Yu Tower to the whole city.

There were also some bold ones who gathered around a few feet away, viewing the surprise as a lively event.

Some of the people watching the excitement were extraordinary. Although they were dressed as ordinary people, they were now staring closely at the situation in the battle circle.

"Send the news about Uncle Jiang Cheng's attack quickly!"

There was a leader-like figure among them, waving his hand to summon a subordinate, and whispered something to him.

The subordinate nodded hurriedly, pulled away from the crowd, and ran towards the flower-filled buildings in Pipa Alley.

Yes, these people are Kou Wanwan's men.

She was placed next to Zhu Xiuyuan in order to keep track of Zhu Xiuyuan's movements at all times.

The sudden change had just occurred, and this group of people almost came to help, but because they saw that Yan Dashan had rescued Uncle Jiang Cheng, they did not move and just mingled with the crowd of onlookers and acted according to the opportunity.

Ping Pong Pong!

Dangdangdang!

The shouts and shouts were loud!
In that battle circle, fierce fighting was still going on.

This is a real fight to the death, not juggling, it's about killing people!
