At this time, it was dark, and here was a wilderness ridge. There was no smoke around.

Dong Mingchun walked quickly into the octagonal pavilion with a lantern.

With the dim yellow light of the lantern, he found an arrow mark on the post of the pavilion.

He hesitated and decided to go in the direction of the arrow.

Ahead is a grove.

It was dark in the woods. I couldn't see anything clearly. Occasionally, I could hear the sound of small animals running past.

Dong Mingchun walked forward carefully. He was so scared that his hands trembling with lanterns.

Just then, a man in black suddenly fell from the sky, and the blade in his hand went straight to Dong Mingchun!

Dong Mingchun learned the art of riding and shooting when he was young. He has been a civil servant for so many years. He has long forgotten the art of riding and shooting. In addition, his reaction is far less sensitive than when he was young.

He could feel the cold wind falling above his head. His intuition told him that he was in danger and had to avoid it, but his body's reaction speed could not keep up with his brain.

He just stood where he was.

Seeing that the blade was about to fall on his head, another sword light suddenly came out to block the fatal knife of the man in black.

The weapons collided in mid air and made a clear sound.

Zhao Xian arrived in time with five jade guards and protected Dong Mingchun.

After the man in black landed, he quickly retreated and whistled at the same time.

The whistle drew three more men in black.

The two sides fought to the death.

Zhao Xian has vigorous skills and excellent martial arts, but the four people in black are not vegetarian. They are extremely fierce. They don't even care about their own life and death. They just want to kill each other. Every move is ruthless.

Dong Mingchun looked at the flash of swords in front of him, and his face was white with fear.

He hurried back, trying to leave the dangerous place.

Zhao Xian was bent on dealing with those people in black. He didn't notice that Dong Mingchun was getting farther and farther away from himself. When he heard Dong Mingchun's scream, he found that Dong Mingchun's arm was cut, and blood kept pouring out.

The lantern in Dong Mingchun's hand fell to the ground and burned immediately.

He covered the wound on his arm and screamed in pain.

When an expert fights, the victory or defeat is often in an instant.

Because Zhao Xian was attracted by Dong Mingchun's cry, he was caught by a man in black and slashed down his chest with a blade in his hand!

Just as he was about to be stabbed, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

Then the knife of the man in black was opened by an invisible force.

The accident stunned the man in black.

He has been wandering the Jianghu for many years, and countless innocent souls have died under his knife, but he has never seen such a strange thing.

Zhao Xian quickly reacted. He grabbed the gap between the other party's stupidity and pierced the other party's throat with a sword.

The man in black fell straight into a pool of blood. He didn't even have time to close his eyes. The stunned expression on his face solidified forever.

Zhao Xian rushed to Dong Mingchun at the fastest speed, protected Dong Mingchun behind him and continued to fight with other people in black.

Two of the four men in black were killed one after another, and the remaining two were in bad shape. They immediately resisted the bodies of their companions and retreated away.

Zhao Xian's six people all hung up and their actions were limited. In addition, Dong Mingchun fainted because of too much blood loss. Zhao Xian resolutely released and chose to abandon the pursuit.

They escorted Dong Mingchun back to Shengjing.

Luo QingHan didn't know the news of Dong Mingchun's assassination until the next morning.

Zhao Xian truthfully told the story in detail.

Luo QingHan asked, "can you see the origin of the four people in black?"

Zhao Xian had thought about this question all night last night and replied without hesitation.

"Judging from their crisp style, they are like professional killers, especially the two who escaped. Their martial arts are very powerful. If they are really killers, they must be experts in killers. General Mo has several friends in the Jianghu. I'll ask them later to see if I can find clues."

Luo QingHan nodded: "I'll leave it to you."

"Here."

Luo QingHan then asked, "how is Dong Mingchun now?"

Zhao Xian: "Dong Shangshu suffered a knife wound on his right arm. The wound was a little deep and shed a lot of blood. He is recuperating at home."

Luo QingHan said, "you worked hard last night. Go back and have a good recovery."

"I will obey."

He turned and limped away from Mingguang palace.

Last night, he fought with the killers. He accidentally cut his right leg. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and did not hurt his muscles and bones. He should be able to recover after a few days of rest.

In fact, he wanted to ask about the amulet.

Last night, he was almost killed by the man in black. At the critical moment, the knife was bounced away by an invisible force. Later, he checked his injury and found that the amulet originally placed on his chest had turned black.

Zhao Xian guessed that the reason why he could get away with it was probably related to this amulet.

He wants to know how the amulet came from? Why can it have such a magical effect?

But reason told him that some things were beyond his control.

So he wisely chose to shut up and didn't mention the amulet.

At noon, Luo QingHan went to Qingge hall.

He had lunch with Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xixi chewed the duck neck with relish. The duck neck was cooked in brine for a long time. It was very delicious.

Luo QingHan looked at her expressionless.

How greedy the woman is for meat. She even refuses to let go of the little meat on the duck's neck.

Seeing that he had been looking at himself and thought he wanted to eat, Xiao Xi pushed the plate with a duck neck in front of him and said enthusiastically.

"Would you like to try it, your highness? The duck neck is delicious."

Luo QingHan refused.

He won't eat this pickle!

After eating and drinking, Xiao Xixi was ready to take a nap as usual, but he was stopped by Luo QingHan.

"You change your clothes and do something with Gu Chu palace."

Xiao Xi was surprised: "what are you doing out of the palace?"

"Dong Mingchun was assassinated and injured last night. I want to go and see him. By the way, I can find out the specific situation. Maybe I can help you."

Xiao Xixi is very dedicated in business.

She reluctantly gave up her lunch break plan and nodded her head.

She put on a light lotus colored narrow sleeved Ru skirt and followed the prince out of the palace, accompanied by two small eunuchs and a dozen Yu Linwei.

The party arrived at Dong's house smoothly.

Knowing that the prince's highness was visiting, Dong Mingchun got up from bed with his injured arm and took his sons out to pick him up.

The Dong family knelt down at the door.

Dong Mingchun knelt at the front and said respectfully, "I don't know if your Highness the prince is coming. It's far from welcome. I hope your highness will forgive me."

Luo QingHan said faintly, "don't be polite. Get up and talk."

Dong Mingchun stood up with the help of his two sons.

Because of his injury, Dong Mingchun's face was particularly pale. He took a step back, turned aside and let the prince go first.
