Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 72 Assassination
In a hut under an ancient tree in Minhui Village, Xia Zijin and Xia Ziwu were escorted here by the hussars.Apart from a dilapidated bed with low feet and a few simple household items, there is nothing else in the room.

Although it is different from the palace, it is better than being in the prison.

"You two princesses, the last general will escort you here." The deputy general clasped his fists at the two of them and bowed his head.

"Thank you, Deputy General." Xia Zijin nodded slightly. The hussars did not make things difficult for them along the way, but treated them with courtesy. She was naturally grateful.

"Princess Mingzhu speaks seriously, then I will resign."

After finishing speaking, the deputy general stepped out of the hut, organized the team, and with a wave of his hand, he and the hussars all retreated.

The hussars retreated, and the sound of clanging footsteps became farther and farther away. Xia Zijin stood at the door, watching the retreating back of the army, but felt vaguely ominous in his heart.

"Sister Zijin, why did the general leave in such a hurry?" Xia Ziwu wiped the water stains on his lips with his cuff, and tightened the stopper of the water bag. Fortunately, the hussars left enough food and water for them, otherwise After three days of thirst and starvation, even if no one comes to kill them, they will die of dehydration or starvation.

Xia Zijin moved to the bed, gently patted the dust off the bed and said, "I'm afraid it's because of the monsters in the village, Minhui Village is a dangerous place now, and hundreds of villagers live in the village like Monsters run rampant, even the hussars don't want to encounter a group of monsters."

Speaking of this, Xia Zijin also frowned slightly. She had seen the horror of those monster villagers with her own eyes, but even though they were escorted by the hussars today, it seemed that it was too easy for them to enter the village.Those brute force monsters with blue faces and fangs seemed to have disappeared out of thin air that day, and the whole village fell into dead silence.

"Monster..." Xia Ziwu lowered his eyes, feeling really scared in his heart. He heard that the monster would bite living things, its sharp nails cut through the flesh, and it ate the flesh and drank the blood.

She shivered and said, "Father put us here, could it be that those monsters will bite us to death?"

Xia Zijin nodded mockingly and said, "It is said that the demon star will bring disaster to the country. Only by allowing you and me to spend three days safely in the village under God's decision, can we be cleared of the suspicion of the demon star. It's just..."

It's just that you and I can only survive one.

But Xia Zijin didn't have the heart to say the rest of the sentence. She sat on the low bed, and Xia Ziwu was three inches away. The choice between the two has always been an eternal problem. What they can do now is to survive as much as possible before the monster finds them.

No matter how Xia Ziwu didn't understand, she didn't say a word at this time. She grabbed the skirt material on her knees and turned her mind a thousand times. Finally, she looked at Xia Zijin with an extremely complicated expression.

"For now, let's hide it first, don't let monsters find us." Xia Zijin dodged and opened his eyes slowly, and then he closed the door of the hut from the inside, and pushed the only wooden table and chairs in the house Pushing against the door and pulling it a few times to confirm that it was correct, I felt a little relieved.

Xia Ziwu nodded with a complicated expression, and also got up and closed the only window in the room.

The two of them sat together on the low-foot bed, but they had nothing to say, neither of them knew how to speak, nor how to make a choice when their lives were at stake.

"Ninth Sister..." Xia Zijin was about to speak after sitting there for an unknown amount of time, when the door of the hut slammed.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound from the door became louder and louder, and the "things" outside the door seemed to break into the house, constantly hitting the already weak door panel.

Xia Zijin bit her lip, strode to the door, and used all her strength to hold the table and chairs. Xia Ziwu also hurriedly followed. The two of them were sweating profusely, pushing the table and chairs to support the crumbling door, and the atmosphere was not good. Dare to come out, for fear of making a sound and attracting things outside the door.

Just when the two were about to be exhausted, the movement outside the door suddenly subsided, and then the force acting on the door panel was stripped away. The two raised their sleeves to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, and looked at each other. At a glance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But before the two of them could rest for a moment, the window of the hut was knocked open with a loud bang, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Xia Ziwu yelled, covered his eyes but didn't dare to look, his body was trembling, and there was only a fear of imminent death in his heart.And Xia Zijin frowned tightly, grabbed the wooden stool a little bit with his hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a nerve was tense.

The "something" that broke into the bed landed firmly on the floor of the house. Xia Zijin looked intently, but found that the person entering the house was not some monster villager, but a man in black. He was also wrapped in a thick black face scarf, and only a pair of slender eyes were exposed all over his body, which were sharp and somewhat cold.

"Who are you?" Xia Zijin asked in a deep voice, her vigilance did not decrease, but became more intense. She looked up and down the man in black, and she could hardly find any valuable proof of identity except for the black all over. .

"Who is Princess Pearl?"

The man in black ignored the doubts of the two, opened his lips and spit out a few words coldly, his sharp eyes were full of murderous intent, and stared at the two of them.

Xia Ziwu, who was hiding behind Xia Zijin, trembled. He was already quite frightened. Hearing the man in black's question, his eyes flickered.Seeing the murderous intent in the eyes of the man in black, she hesitated for a moment, bit her lips and raised her right hand tremblingly, pointing at Xia Zijin in front of her, and said, "It's her..."

Xia Zijin felt a chill in her heart, before she could come anyway, the man in black had already flashed in front of her.

Great fear enveloped her, she wanted to run away, but the man in black grabbed her hair with one hand, and threw her heavily to the ground.

Xia Zijin groaned in pain, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the sharp palm of the man in black grabbing her neck. She dodged quickly, but her jawbone was still firmly pinched.

Xia Ziwu, who was standing aside, screamed, then cried and pushed the tables and chairs against the door away, and was about to break through the door and escape.Before she could take a step, the man in black lifted her clothes behind her, knocked her left brain to the ground, rolled her eyes and passed out.

"Who are you, do you know what a crime it is to murder a royal princess!"

Xia Zijin's hands trembled, and the killing intent in the eyes of the man in black couldn't be more obvious. At this moment, she only felt that she was on the verge of death, and fear surrounded her whole heart.

"I collect money to do things, it doesn't matter what your identity is!"

The man in black sneered, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xia Zijin, no matter how much she punched and kicked, he would not waver at all.

I saw the man in black squeeze Xia Zijin's teeth with one hand, and took out a round-bottomed porcelain bottle with the other hand, pulled out the lid and poured it into Xia Zijin's mouth.

Xia Zijin's eyes widened, but her body couldn't move, her chin was pinched tightly, she could only yell falteringly, watching the man in black's hand holding the bottle getting closer, her scalp felt numb.

"Oh!"

At this moment, the wooden door of the thatched hut was kicked open. The man in black stopped his movements and looked, only to see a person in a deep robe and a black crown rushing to the man in black with lightning speed. Attacked on his face.

The man in black tilted his head to dodge, and started to wrestle with the person coming. He could only hear the wind of palms passing by his ears. Harm.

"Who are you, and why do you want to get involved?" The man in black asked in a deep voice, the movements of his hands changed rapidly, dodging the attack, and not to be outdone, he raised his palm with the intention of restraining the opponent's move.

"Don't talk nonsense, watch the trick!" The other party shouted, and the movements in his hands became even more violent, and the more he raised his empty fist, the inner force was catalyzed from the dantian, and it hit the man in black directly on the chest.

The man in black staggered a few steps back with a muffled grunt after being hit hard by the palm, shook his head, and then swooped forward to wrestle with the opponent again.

Xia Zijin fell to the ground, staring blankly at the man wrestling with the man in black, with starry eyebrows and jade-like crowns, whoever it was if it wasn't Xia Shengqing.

Her jaw was numb with soreness, but she couldn't care less, her eyes were fixed on the two of them flying up and down in the room, and the shock in her heart came after waves.

Why is it that Xia Shengqing knows martial arts and doesn't look weaker than the man in black at all.

She watched Xia Shengqing hit the man in black's chest and the back of his head with his palm many times, and she was already clearly in the upper hand. Overwhelmed by Xia Shengqing's hooked legs, he grabbed his head and twisted it left and right.

With just a click, the vertebrae in the neck of the man in black were snapped by Xia Shengqing, and he lost his breath for a moment.

Xia Zijin moved her body backwards in a daze, looking at the very strange Xia Shengqing, suddenly she didn't know what to do.

Xia Shengqing exhaled lightly, covered the arm that was pierced by the hidden weapon of the man in black, pulled out the hidden weapon with a puff, and threw it on the ground with a ding ding dong dong.

"Princess……"

He looked at Xia Zijin with pale lips, and without stopping a step, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.His shoulders trembled a little, and there was only a million luck left in his heart. Fortunately, he arrived before Xia Zijin's accident, and fortunately she was fine.

This hug she had missed in prison, but at the moment she was in a daze, she could only hear Xia Shengqing whispering on her shoulder, Xia Shengqing, who was so cold and murderous just now, seemed to have changed back to that gentle and jade-like person at this moment, making her I don't know which one to believe is the real him.

"It's all my fault. I didn't come earlier. I have been entangled with those monsters in Minhui Village for a long time. It was too late, and the princess was frightened." Xia Shengqing's palm was very warm, and he stroked Xia Zijin's. Hair, as soft as jewels.

Xia Zijin's eyelashes trembled slightly, no wonder he didn't see any monsters on the way, it turned out that he was lured away by Xia Shengqing's breath.
