C322 Return

"Your Highness, don't worry. I will definitely bring Princess Changge back to the capital safely." Shen Haoxuan promised solemnly.

Xuanyuan Chen patted Shen Haoxuan's shoulders and nodded.

Yesterday, after listening to Ji Rufeng's advice, he had already decided to split the team into two, one team would have around ten people, and all of them would be his secret guards. Shen Haoxuan was the leader as he escorted Xuanyuan Changge back to the capital.

However, the other team was loud, and had to attract all the enemy's attention to their side, and they would be led by him and Xie Qingrong.

He had to let the Ye Family succeed, but he couldn't let the Ye Family succeed completely.

He and Xie Qingrong had discussed the plan with each other overnight.

Xuanyuan Changge was bidding farewell to Lin Mu, and her eyes were slightly reddened. In the past month, their relationship was really too harmonious, warm, and sweet to the point where she was extremely reluctant to part with his.

She twirled Lin Mu's finger, and said with a smile: "You have to take care of yourself, you have to eat on time, you can't look at other women, you can't like others …" He chattered on for a long time.

Then he laughed at himself, "Don't laugh at me. The most important thing is that you must come back alive. If you die, I will definitely forget about you and marry a man even more outstanding than you. "

"Alright." Lin Mu laughed for the first time ever, and said a word that sounded good. The word that lingered around the tip of his tongue had a hint of bitterness, he paused for a moment, then changed his words: "I will definitely live.

Xuanyuan Changge felt that the tears in her eyes were about to fall, and she immediately threw herself into Lin Mu's embrace. The ice armor that contained a hint of coldness made her tremble, but she only hugged Lin Mu tighter.

"I'll go back on my word. I won't marry anyone else. If you die, I'll be your widow for life. I, Xuanyuan Changge, will keep my word. " Xuanyuan Changge whispered into Lin Mu's ear.

Lin Mu's pupils constricted, and sorrow filled his heart. What ability did he have to get Xuanyuan Changge's favor and exchange blows with him?

No matter what, he would live on. He would do his best to survive.

Shen Haoxuan shook her tasseled fan and said helplessly: "Princess, we should depart. If you continue to say goodbye to Lin Mu, the sky would turn dark."

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Changge reluctantly withdrew from Lin Mu's embrace, and wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Remember what you said, don't forget it!"

Even as he mounted the horse, he did not forget to remind Lin Mu, "You must not fall in love with any other woman, not even one look!"

Lin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he listened to Xuanyuan Changge's warnings and warnings. However, he secretly nodded in his heart.

Watching Xuanyuan Changge's group leave, Xuanyuan Chen's and Xie Qingrong's team were also about to leave. When they were about to leave, Xuanyuan Chen patted Lin Mu's shoulders and warned him: "Right now it's a busy season, I don't even know what will happen at this year's gate. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately."

Lin Mu nodded solemnly.

Only now did Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong feel at ease riding on their horses, as they majestically headed towards the main road leading back to the capital from Mo Bei.

The further south they went, the warmer the climate became. Although there was still some coldness, it was unlike the Mo Bei, where one could only feel the bone-piercing cold wind.

The weather here was so warm that it could almost make people fall asleep.

The entire journey was extremely peaceful, and not even a single accident occurred. Xie Qingrong furrowed her brows, and the bad premonition in her heart grew even stronger.

"Chen, there's something wrong with the calmness." Xie Qingrong suddenly said, her voice was a bit like the calm before the storm.

Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrow, and laughed: "A Rong, right now, the calmer you are, the more intense the situation becomes, don't worry A Rong, I have already made the perfect preparations, and am only waiting for the chance to invite you into my trap."

Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows confidently. He wasn't afraid of him, he was only afraid that he wouldn't come.

"There's a river ahead. It's been a day. Time to rest." After walking for a day, she was starting to get thirsty.

"Soldiers, listen up. Pass this king's order. The troops in front of us will be temporarily halted. We will rest here for two hours." Xuanyuan Chen instructed.

After he finished giving orders, Xuanyuan Chen sat down beside Xie Qingrong with the water bag and handed the water bag to Xie Qingrong. However, when he handed it over to Xie Qingrong, he suddenly paused.

Then, without batting an eyelid, he placed it in Xie Qingrong's hand and gently swiped her finger across Xie Qingrong's palm. Xie Qingrong immediately understood.

Ye Zichen raised his head to drink a mouthful of water expressionlessly, yet he kept scanning his surroundings out of the corner of his eyes.

The atmosphere in the air was extremely unsettled. Xie Qingrong could clearly feel the restlessness of the horse, as well as the hint from Xuanyuan Chen's finger just now when he passed by her palm.

His fingers had already pressed on the sleeve arrow's mechanism, looking at it from the side, it seemed like he had placed his hand on the side, not revealing any of it's flaws.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the air changed, and the factors of unease gradually increased.

The horse let out a long hiss, its hooves kept scraping the ground as if it had encountered something terrifying. However, because the reins were tied to the horse, it could not leave. It could only trample on the ground and whimper incessantly.

The sound of breaking air suddenly came over, as though a sharp sword had cut across the sky, and a bright white light flashed across Xie Qingrong's eyes, the curve of her mouth slightly widened, bringing along endless ridicule and killing intent.

The sleeve arrow on his wrist, had already extended its thin sharp blade out, the sword tip releasing a cold light, his body leaned back slightly, blocking the incoming sword attack, the sword on his wrist hacked down heavily, the sword was immediately cut off.

Xie Qingrong seized the opportunity and thrusted his blade into the black clothed man's abdomen, the white blade entering, the red blade appearing, a black clothed man's figure immediately fell to the ground.

One sword strike had taken away a life.

The blade in his hand was like a reaper's scythe. With a single slash, he had reaped a life.

Xie Qingrong's eyes never blinked, upon seeing such a situation, she was not afraid, but instead cold, bloodthirsty and expressionless.

The horse whinnied in pain.

Accompanied by Xie Qingrong's clean slash.

The corpse was lying on the ground with blood splattering all over.

A thick stench of blood floated in the air. Xie Qingrong looked at the corpse on the ground in a deadpan manner, the black clothed man on her side had already been taken care of, the soldiers who were not aware of the arrival of the assassins yet had not pulled out their swords to fight the enemies, protecting the Princess Consort Chen.

He discovered that in the blink of an eye, the weak girl whom he had to protect had silently taken away many lives. He immediately became so afraid that his legs trembled, and he kept recalling whether or not he had offended the Princess Consort Chen.

Xie Qingrong's dark and gloomy gaze swept across the black-clothed men surrounding Xuanyuan Chen. With a stride, she directly arrived in front of Xuanyuan Chen.
