The middle-aged man seemed not to see an arrow being shot towards him, but was staring at the arrow heading towards the girl. He clenched his fists, feeling more nervous than ever before, but he was too late to rescue her.

Yang Xuan held the girl and fell off the horse, with his back to the arrow. The girl struggled in his arms, raising her head just in front of the flying arrow. This was also the reason why the middle-aged man and the guards were stunned for a moment.

Jin Qiyan looked pale and wanted to stab himself.

Yang Xuan, who was falling, felt his spine numb and his body twisted strangely.

This move stirred up the girl, and her head slammed into Yang Xuan's head, with tears streaming down her face.

The arrow passed by the side of her face.

Call!

A sigh of relief.

Facing the flying arrow, the middle-aged man raised his hand and flicked it with his fingers. Just when the arrow was about to reach his face, he gently flicked the arrow away like water droplets.

The arrows exploded in the air, and the middle-aged man looked calm, "Kill them all!"

Arrows penetrated into the assassin's location from all directions. If there were veterans in the army, they would definitely exclaim that these guards were so skilled in arrows that they could block the assassin's route in an instant.

Jin Qiyan couldn't believe it and cursed: "What the hell! How did that kid do it?"

While cursing, he led his men towards Yang Xuan.

Under the cover of arrow rain, another wave of guards rushed into the dense forest in twos and threes. With their formation and superb coordination, even the elite of the army could only sigh in disbelief.

puff!

The girl fell on her back, and the tears she was holding back finally burst out, "Why do you let me support you!"

Yang Xuan jumped up suddenly, glanced across the dense forest, and said, "I can stop the arrows from coming again."

He was up there blocking the arrow from hitting the girl.

The girl said angrily: "You still won't look back?"

She tilted her head and tears fell.

How embarrassing!

The girl was really angry.

Jin Qiyan rushed over with his men and said nervously: "My dear, are you injured?"

The girl sat on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face in her knees, and shook her head gently.

The maids surrounded the girl and guarded her on the outer level.

Yang Xuan stood up and prepared to leave.

He walked past a guard and saw the guard raising his hand, feeling puzzled.

The guard behind him slapped his chest hard.

Boom!

He passed the next guard.

The guard beat his chest hard behind him.

Boom!

One by one, the guards beat their chests solemnly...

Watching Yang Xuan walking slowly ahead.

This is the greatest compliment given to a comrade in the military!

Yang Xuan found his horse and stroked it gently.

This was a good horse. Mr. Wang was very generous and gave it to him casually.

Yang Xuan never takes advantage of others in vain. Even if he gets a piece of dry biscuit from others in the mountains, he will find a way to return the favor.

Huang Laoer came, patted his back hard, and said with a smile: "What a good boy, you actually saved the little lady, just drink the good wine later."

After camping in the past few days, the guards took turns drinking. Yang Xuan smelled the aroma of the wine. He had never drunk in his life, and he was a little moved. But he was just a country boy who was attached to the Wang family's motorcade. How could he have the nerve to ask for a drink?

. He was embarrassed to speak, but these guards were all human beings, and he had already noticed it.

The middle-aged man discussed matters with his staff, raised his eyes, and nodded gently to Yang Xuan.

I didn’t have a niece on this trip, but I couldn’t bear the niece’s obsession with my eldest brother, so I had to take her with me in the end.

The Wang family's daughter has a respected status, and her niece is deeply loved by her eldest brother and him. She can be called the Wang family's jewel. If something happened before, he didn't dare to think what would happen to his eldest brother or what would happen to him.

Yang Xuan!

The middle-aged man recited the name silently, and then began to wonder who was the mastermind of the assassination.

Naturally, we couldn't leave anymore today, so everyone started to set up camp.

Yang Xuan disappeared quietly.

"Where's Yang Xuan?"

someone asked.

"The horse is still there, I guess it's for convenience."

Later Jin Qiyan came back to plead guilty.

"Mr. Erlang, the thief was well prepared. He missed a single hit and ran away. We were unable to catch him. He only killed a dozen or so dead men behind him."

Jin Qiyan was a little annoyed and ashamed.

"This is a jungle." The middle-aged man said calmly: "Wang's mines are numerous, and you will have to deal with thieves in the jungle for a long time. You can practice hard."

This is knocking.

Jin Qiyan lowered his head solemnly, "Yes."

The staff beside him smiled and said: "The assassin knows that he cannot kill Erlangjun, but if he can kill the young lady, Dalangjun will definitely be furious. When Dalangjun is angry, there will be a storm in Chang'an City. I don't know who can fish in troubled waters.

.”

The middle-aged man's eyes were deep, "Brother sent someone here a while ago. Chang'an has been uneasy recently. Someone suggested cutting off 30% of the gate, which caused an undercurrent."

The staff was surprised, "This is the emperor's intention. Does the emperor want to deal with five surnames in the family?"

The middle-aged man nodded and shook his head, "It's the emperor's wish, but the emperor sent someone to Wang's house to deliver the message beforehand. We can just watch."

"I think every family with five surnames in Chang'an City has someone from the palace to pass the message." The staff member stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's the people from the mirror, the one-eyed dragon's subordinate." When mentioning the mirror and the one-eyed dragon, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little more wary, but more disdainful. He said slowly: "Don't worry about this matter. It's just halfway.

Someone assassinated me... Do you really think that I, Wang Douxiang, have a good temper?"

Everyone was in awe.

Wang Douxiang, a middle-aged man, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Send someone to the front to spread the word about encirclement and suppression!"

Jin Qiyan responded, "Yes. But Erlangjun, I'm afraid the assassins won't be able to surround you."

The staff member stroked his beard and smiled, "Er Langjun is trying to scare the snake. All you need to do is let people know that someone has assassinated Erlang Jun. There are five surnames in the family... The Wang family controls the mine. If the Wang family gets angry, the Tang Dynasty will also tremble. Behind that

People will panic, but if there is even the slightest clue, even if he is a relative of the emperor, Wang will make him pay the price."

Wang Douxiang said calmly: "Who can kill those assassins if they can still escape from assassinating Wang?"

Invisible anger swept over him.

The guards knelt down and lowered their heads.

Now that the assassins are far away, they will be difficult to capture.

Jin Qiyan was ashamed, "I am incompetent!"

Wang Douxiang waved, "Xian'er."

The girl frowned as she was surrounded by maids. The maids actually all carried horizontal knives.

"Dereliction of duty!" Wang Douxiang turned away with the girl, and his voice came softly, "Punishment!"

After a while, the maids lay on the ground, and the sound of chopping boards echoed in the middle of the camp.

…

In a dense forest seven miles away from here, three people were sitting on the ground and resting.

The leading man leaned against the tree trunk, looking up and drinking water.

The water from the water bag spilled from the corner of his mouth. The man drank and shook his head, water droplets splashing everywhere.

Someone came hurriedly, and the three of them stood up to be on guard.

The visitor, dressed in black, approached and said, "Wang's pursuers have returned."

The leader took off his mask and said with a smile: "The Wang family is nothing more than that, hahahaha!"

The hearty laughter startled the nearby birds.

The four of them sat down, ate dry food and talked in low voices, but they didn't see a young man standing quietly behind the big tree not far away.
