Crown Prince's Counterattack

Chapter 91 Tang Prince Li Chengqian

The carriage rattled along the official road, shuttling between the shades of the trees, kicking up thick dust, and the birds in the forest were also startled by the sudden sound of horseshoes.

As the death day of the eldest grandson empress who passed away was approaching, Sima Yi specially asked Li Shimin to go to the temple to pray for a period of time, and Li Shimin repeatedly praised him for his filial piety. Compared with the usual strictness, his eyes were much gentler, so he was very refreshing The ground agreed, but for the sake of the prince's safety, few people knew about this trip.

The carriage left Chang'an and headed towards the Chanyin Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. The temple is not only full of incense, but more importantly, I heard that the abbot of the temple, Master Kaye, just returned from a long journey, so he just took this opportunity to pay a visit. Fan.

The carriage looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside is unique, not only rich and elegant, but more importantly, no matter how the road is ups and downs, the interior of the carriage is very stable, Sima Yi is most satisfied with this.This time when going out, Sima Yi didn't bring anyone with him, apart from the dozens of guards who accompanied him, Xin Xin followed him out to take care of his daily life.

Sima Yi and Xinxin are not talkative people, not to mention their different identities. The two of them in the carriage were each holding a book and read with gusto. Also relax.

Even the official road is not peaceful everywhere, especially in these densely forested places, it is common for bandits to come and go and rob merchants.

"Protect the master!"

The neighing of horses came from outside the carriage, Sima Yi frowned, thinking in his heart that something might happen!

"Your Highness be careful"

Yi Xin hastily put down the object in her hand, and immediately stood in front of Sima Yi, listening to the movement outside on guard. This subconscious reaction made Sima Yi look at him a few more times, and his eyes became more scrutinizing.

"What happened?"

"Back to the master, I'm afraid I've met a bandit, but I...we will do our best to protect your safety"

Sima Yi's sudden question startled the leader of the guards outside the carriage, and immediately swore his loyalty. Looking at the gangsters who kept rushing up, his eyes were full of murderous intent. No matter what, even if he sacrificed his life, he could not let the prince Something happened to His Highness, otherwise the family would be implicated.

Hearing these words, Sima Yi in the carriage nodded, with no change in expression, but unfortunately the people outside the carriage could not see, Sima Yi knew that this trip would definitely not be peaceful, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to kill those around him. Snakes, insects, ants and beasts were all brought out.

"careful!"

Sima Yi just wanted to lift the curtain of the car window to see what's going on outside, but unexpectedly, he was thrown aside by Yi Xin. A cold arrow was coming in through the window and nailed to the car door. The body of the arrow glowed with a faint cold light. Sima Yi was startled, this time he almost died because of his negligence.Seeing that Sima Yi was safe and sound, Xinxin also breathed a sigh of relief.

With preparedness in mind, relying on his extraordinary five senses, Sima Yi avoided many shooting arrows. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were unusually calm, and he was safe and sound by Sima Yi's side. It's only because he has an unusually sharp spiritual sense.

Having escaped wave after wave of catastrophe, before Sima Yi had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the screaming neighing of the horse, and suddenly felt that the situation was not good. Surrounded by the land, unable to rescue them in time, they could only watch the carriage disappear in front of their eyes anxiously. Rescue Your Highness.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

The carriage was bumping in the mountains, and the mountain wind blowing in the face scattered the neatly combed hair. The black hair flew wildly and scraped on the face, leaving only a pair of black jade eyes, clear and light, Sima Yi Xin thought that even in such a situation, he really had no fear at all.

Xinxin held on to the door, and was careful not to be thrown out by the carriage. The carriage was running rampant on the mountain road. An arrow was stuck near the ponytail of the leading horse, piercing three inches into the flesh, and it was still oozing out. The blood of the horse is bright red, no wonder the horse is mad.

"Afraid?"

With a faint smile on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xin Xin's waist, held him in his arms, and lifted the curtain of the car.

"Not afraid!"

Flattered and surprised, he was a little flustered by being hugged suddenly. After being surprised, he instantly realized what Sima Yi was going to do. He looked at Sima Yi with trusting eyes, and couldn't help but move closer to Sima Yi.In fact, no matter what Sima Yi wants to do, he is willing to accompany him like this.

"Then...jump!"

Sima Yi smiled in satisfaction, but his gaze slowly became more cautious. He saw the flat grassland in the distance early on, and when he was in position, he jumped with the person in his arms and hit the ground a few times with the momentum. He stopped after rolling, his body was already covered with grass clippings, and his whole body was in pain, but at least he avoided the danger.The frightened carriage kept running towards the mountain road, and soon disappeared before the two of them.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Yi Xin hurriedly got up from the ground, the first thing he thought of was Sima Yi, he looked anxiously to see if Sima Yi was injured.

"……Walk"

Sima Yi patted the grass clippings on his body, gritted his teeth and sat on the ground. There were bursts of severe pain in his right foot, which had some problems with walking. It seemed that he just sprained it when he jumped out of the car. At least he kept his normal left foot, and he stood up with the support of his heart. They had to leave here quickly, otherwise someone might catch up from behind.

Xin Xin was also anxious and chaotic, now she came to her senses and helped Sima Yi to walk towards the woods...

The two of them walked with their arms like this for several hours. The mountain road was not easy to walk. Even if it was a man, Xinxin was sweating profusely when he was supported all the way down. Both of them were in a mess.Fortunately, they didn't meet any pursuers along the way, so the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.

"...Luck is really good"

Sima Yi looked at the thatched hut that appeared a hundred meters away from his field of vision, and finally something happy to hear happened along the way.

It's going to be dark soon, and at night, the forest is full of dangers. He still wears it, and the other is a powerless person. Besides, the two of them feel tired after walking for nearly a day, so we can Finding a safe place to rest for the night is certainly the wisest thing to do.

Looking at the thatched hut not far away, Yixin's eyes lit up instantly. His Highness must be tired after walking for so long, not to mention the injury on his foot, which Yixin has never forgotten.

The fence was full of weeds, and the thatched cottage was also very dilapidated, probably no one lived in it for a long time, but it was exactly what Sima Yi and Xin wanted, so at least no one would bother them.The lock holding the door was already rusty, and with a little force from Sima Yi, the door was pushed open.Although the beds and chairs in the room were a bit worn out and covered with a thick layer of dust, they were still somewhat complete, which made the two people who had been worrying about them finally feel at ease.

"Your Highness, sit down first, I'll fetch some water for you to freshen up"

In fact, both of them were tired after a day's driving, especially for Xin, but when he relaxed, the first thing he thought of was Sima Yi, and it had nothing to do with his status.He supported Sima Yi to find a cleaner place to sit down, and said with distress when he saw the dust all over Sima Yi's body.

Sima Yi looked at the back of Xin Xin leaving, with a somewhat unpredictable and complicated look in his eyes.

The forest is very dense, not to mention that when the sun sets, the light in the forest is much dimmer, and the trees are so different in size that it is easy for people who are not familiar with the road to get lost while walking.But Xinxin didn't seem to be disturbed in any way. Walking alone in the silent woods not only showed no fear, but also revealed a different kind of leisure.

After walking for a long time, Xinxin finally heard the sound of gurgling water, and her face immediately looked better.

The running water in the mountains was cool, and Xin Xin tore off the hem of his clothes, soaked in the cold stream, wrung it vigorously, washed the broken bowls brought out from the thatched hut, and filled a bowl of clean water before heading back.Seeing edible wild berries on the road, he didn't forget to pick some and put them in his arms. He didn't forget that the dinner for the two of them hadn't arrived yet, so he could only make do with it for the time being.

The mountain road was circling, and Xinxin's walking was a little anxious, because there were still people waiting for him in the thatched cottage, but even so, the water in his bowl was not spilled, and he walked steadily all the way down.

As soon as he walked outside the fence, Yixin heard a few strange noises coming from the thatched cottage, and his heart immediately became aroused. Did someone catch up to him? His Highness...

"Your Highness..."

Xinxin pushed open the door suddenly, with obvious panic on his face. Seeing the scene in the room, his face paled instantly, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground. After a crisp sound, water splashed on his trousers, and he The eyes that looked at Sima Yi were obviously full of shock.

"……why"

Xin Xin looked at Sima Yi with both puzzlement and distress, why did he break his own foot with his own hands...

"You're back..."

Sima Yi glanced lightly at the stunned Xin, and threw away the wooden stick in his hand. His head was covered with cold sweat, his lips turned white, and it was obvious that he was already in pain, but his eyes were chillingly cold.
