Chapter 39 A Sword

Waiting is the most difficult, especially when you are in your heart, a swaying pendant is heavily attached to your heart, hitting your chest one after another, as if you open your mouth and things will jump out of your throat the next moment.

The shade of the tree was deeply engulfed in the heart of the Tenth Princess. The Third Prince's people had been waiting here for a long time. It turned out that they had kept it when their father was there. Originally, the Third Prince failed to do anything, and they thought they were going to die in this lonely palace, but they didn't expect that they would have such an opportunity.

They had a deep desire to be promoted. After receiving the letter from the Tenth Princess, they wanted to immediately ask them to take the letter to encircle the emperor under the knife.

But this matter was still too difficult for the Tenth Princess. She could kill the servants she served without blinking, but could not kill the brother who had the same bloodline as her half of her body without any burden.

What's more, this man is now the emperor.

She always felt that things were going too smoothly, and would there be something wrong with it?

However, if Twelve had known the assassination plan for a long time, why would he come to this palace and even take the initiative to pester her to hunt?

The Tenth Princess held the reins in her hand and thought in a daze that even if the Third Emperor succeeded, would he definitely be better than the Twelve to be emperor?

When his father was still in power, the third emperor's brother was rejected by his father for many years because of collusion with Jiangnan to sell salt. After that, Yingying, who had been focusing on the backyard, was about to celebrate her 60th birthday at this time. How many years could she be the emperor?

This skill of following the dragon will be thinned soon.

She regretted it a little, but knew that it was an arrow on the string and had to fire it.

Perhaps since Twelve imprisoned her in the palace and raped her wantonly, she had to send her off.

The emperor was walking slowly by her side on horseback. It was still half an hour before noon. They only hunted a few pheasants and hares, and they didn't even see the shadow of a deer.

The emperor smiled and said: The emperor sister can’t hunt deer today, so I wonder who has no chance?

The tenth princess gave him a blank look, whispered a moment, and used her legs to force the horse to run, ignoring the emperor's teasing.When the emperor saw that she was annoyed, he also waved his whip and ran deep into the back mountain.

Seeing that he was about to enter the dense forest, the tenth princess looked back at the emperor who came with her not far away, closed her eyes, and persuaded her in her heart that the emperor deserved the crime. Fortunately, the master did not follow him this time... When he raised his eyes, he was already pretending to be impatient: Your Majesty is leading such a team of people, even if there are deer, he is scared away.

The emperor smiled and advised her: If you don’t follow people, how can you drag the deer back?

The Tenth Princess sneered, with an expression that would have ended here if it were today.

In the end, the emperor could not resist her and asked a group of servants to guard the entrance of the forest, and walked into the forest with the tenth princess.

She deliberately did not go to see him, and clenched the reins in her hand and slowly let the horse walk.

When the emperor saw that her speed slowed down, he didn't speak. The deeper she went, the more uneven the road in the forest became. The forest was very quiet, and there were no traces of birds and beasts.

The emperor slowly rode his horse, as if he didn't hear it.

The Tenth Princess had something to do in her mind, pretending to be looking for traces of her prey. Only she knew that the reins had been soaked in the sweat in her palms, and for a moment, there was only the sound of horse hooves.

Emperor sister.The emperor suddenly spoke, shocking the Tenth Princess.

What's wrong?

The emperor stared at her silently for a long time, then smiled and said, "It's nothing."

So she continued walking, and she felt that there was no end to this forest and could just walk with the emperor.Until a whistle sounded in my ears.

The emperor looked up at the top of the forest: No, this sound is strange.The Emperor's Sister...

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen masked men appeared from the dense bushes. The tenth princess retreated quietly behind the emperor. The emperor pulled out a sword from his waist: Let me come, the emperor sister, don’t move.

The masked man in the lead shouted loudly while holding a machete to attack the emperor: The dog thief, the son of a female slave, dares to usurp the throne. Today is the time for us to uphold justice!

The emperor smiled coldly and raised his sword to block it: It turned out to be for this. I think it was because of the peace of mind for the past six months. Your master accepted his fate. Well, who is your master?

The masked man did not answer, and the hands around him pressed towards the two of them like a tide.

The emperor turned around and kicked away the sword that was stabbed away. He responded to the attacks of several people with ease, and could also share his mind and urge the ten princesses to sit firmly.

The Ten Princess's face was pale, as if she was really scared by this sudden assassination.

The horse under her was frightened and kept slamming her hooves. She grabbed the reins tightly, and the blue veins in her hand swelled up, and even forgot to pull out the sword on her body.

In one breath, the emperor had chopped and killed the people who were attacking first, and covered the ten princesses tightly behind him.

Seeing that the strong attack was not good, the leader made a gesture. The masked man in the back row actually set up a crossbow from behind and shot at the two of them.

The emperor hurriedly pulled the tenth princess and rolled on the spot to block the fierce rain of arrows with the back of the horse.

Taking advantage of the gap where the masked man was wearing a batch of crossbow arrows, the emperor suddenly rose up and picked up the three masked men who were chasing in front of him with a sword, and pulled the ten princesses to run wildly in the forest.

The Tenth Princess was tightly held by him, and she didn't even care about what was being stepped on under her feet. The sharp weeds were on the two of them, leaving behind a piece of branches and leaves, and ran wildly on the mountain path.

Behind were the killers chasing, and the flying insects and birds that were striking along the way were making way for these uninvited guests.

She felt that the sunshine shining above her head was with them like a shadow, as if she wanted to illuminate all the sins of these people.

It’s not that I don’t care about the direction when I run, but the people behind me don’t give them the chance to change direction at all.

The emperor thought about the previous hunting route, while comforting the ten princesses beside him who had never spoken since the beginning: Sister, I have a cannon on my body!

As he said that, he waved his sword to block the ripples flying towards them: I will hold them back later, and you will walk up the mountain with the cannon!

Upon hearing this, the Tenth Princess looked up at him in a daze, neither nodding nor saying anything. The emperor had no time to care about it. He rushed forward alone, caught the big knife that several people slashed, and pushed the people back with force, then pulled the Tenth Princess standing beside him and continued to rush up the mountain.

Both of them were exhausted, and there were still ten masked men following behind them. There should be a group of their crossbows. It would be different if they could stop them. If they were dead, if the swords on these people were fighting in close combat, they would probably not be able to make it with swords.

He finally heard the Ten Princess say softly: Give me the letter cannon.

The emperor let go of her hand, took out a cannon from his arms and stuffed it into her: We can wait for the guards on the top of the mountain for half an hour.

The Ten Princess said in a low voice and then pulled out the sword, and the cold sword light reflected her expressionless face.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more rugged and steep the road, and the trees become scarce.

The Tenth Princess looked up at the emperor's side face, and looked at his slightly frown eyebrows and his sweat-wetted temples. The air in the wind became heavy, the sky was covered with clouds, and there was no dazzling sunshine, and it was about to rain heavily.

The emperor ran and noticed the tenth princess' eyes, and still smiled and comforted her: Don't worry, sister, you're almost here...

Gradually, they couldn't hear the sound behind them. They had practiced and their footwork was not bad. Although they had pulled the distance apart, they did not dare to take it lightly and were still shuttled through the mountains and forests quickly.

Soon after, he rushed to the top of the mountain. The wind roared as if it could take away everything. The emperor quickly locked his eyes on the bushes half a person tall next to the path. The sky was dark, and if he didn't pull the cannon, he would be covered by the heavy rain that was about to come.

He decided to go to face the enemy by himself, and he was the one who was going to kill them. The Tenth Princess could take the cannon to a safer place and then pull it away, and he could hold them back for a while.

The Ten Princess looked at the emperor who had been entrusted with her seriously and held the sword in her hand tightly.

The emperor touched her cheek and smiled relaxedly: Why is the emperor looking at me like this?We are divided into two groups, and they will definitely chase me, so you don’t have to worry.

She took a deep breath and laughed: I understand.

I really don't have to worry.

The emperor glanced at her deeply, turned around and printed the steps he had when he came and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a sharp sword stabbed his left chest with an unstoppable momentum and pierced deeply into his left chest.

At that moment, the emperor did not feel the pain at all. He froze, with a little surprise in his mind. His neck seemed to have been turned into wood, making him unable to turn around to confirm what was going on behind him.

Even the wind stagnated with the blood in his body. He blinked and opened his mouth, but couldn't ask why.

I heard the Ten Princess gently say behind him: Your Majesty, I will return this sword to you.
