humble minister

The dark guard bowed his head, he didn't dare to look directly at the person whom His Majesty put on his heart, and at such a critical moment,

"Your Majesty, the group of His Majesty has surrounded the inn. According to reports from the returned spies, they have spread firewood and kerosene around the inn. I am afraid that the inn will be set on fire in a short while. Please leave quickly with us, Your Majesty and Lord Lian." "The dark guards replied, but they were annoyed at their dereliction of duty, they would allow these things to happen right under their noses, putting His Majesty in danger.

After hearing this, Shi Yu frowned. In fact, he knew that it could not be entirely to blame for the lax security of the hidden guards. After all, they followed the official path, and although this inn was used as a private operation, it was actually owned by the government, so they came here. Naturally, the relaxation of vigilance will lead to such a dangerous situation today.But even if all the hidden guards are relaxed, it is impossible for the other party to plant firewood and kerosene around the inn smoothly. The only explanation is that someone has made arrangements in advance, and only the insiders know the route. It proved that there must be spies of the other party in their team.

"The matter has come to this, then tell everyone to pack up and leave quickly." Shi Yu knew that it was useless to blame at this time, and the most important thing now was to leave quickly before the other party set fire.

While the three of them quickly packed their bags, a small number of hidden guards hidden in the entire inn and its surroundings also acted quickly to notify the whole team of the news that they had quickly assembled and left.But when everyone stepped out of the inn door, they saw the flames around the inn. Although the fire was lit not long ago, the fire is definitely not small now.

"What should we do now?" Yao Li looked at Lian Ying and asked.

"Rush out." It wasn't Lian Ying who answered him, but Shi Yu who had been frowning since seeing the fire.

"What?" Yao Li thought he heard it wrong, but this guy actually said to rush out, how could he rush out with such a big fire? !

"Listen to him." At this moment, Lian Ying echoed.What Shi Yu said is right, there are only two choices at this time, either to retreat to the inn and wait for rescue, or to rush out decisively before the fire has fully escalated, maybe you will be injured, but there is hope if you rush out. It's better than being trapped in an inn and being slaughtered by others.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable, such a big fire..." A man dressed as an entourage couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that the emperor and the left minister said they were going to rush out, and hurriedly objected, but his words were reflected in His Majesty's cold eyes. Gradually I couldn't continue.

Shi Yu glanced at the man thoughtfully, seemingly looking at him, but actually said to all the guards following behind him: "Whoever is willing to rush out with me should follow closely, and those who are unwilling...just Stay." At this moment, anyone with a little brain knows how to choose, since the other party can set such a fire outside the inn, they can naturally set up ambushes and traps inside the inn.

With this kind of handwriting and the conversation with the two Nan Chao people before, Shi Yu can basically confirm that it was written by Borg.Unexpectedly, Borg could actually insert spies into his team for this trip. I'm afraid that his people will be indispensable in the palace.But these can be dealt with later, the most important thing now is how to get out of here, I hope his second brother who has been at home for a long time will not let him down.

Shi Yu glanced vaguely into the distance, then turned to Lian Ying, who pursed his lips tightly, and hugged Lian Ying into his arms while the other party was frowning in thought.

Lian Ying raised his head to look at Shi Yu in surprise, but unfortunately he could only see the perfect curve of his tensed jaw, and the expression on his face was incomprehensible under the crimson firelight.

"Hold me tight."

Lian Ying blinked, subconsciously obeyed the meaning of the other person's words, hugged the other person's waist tightly with both hands, and then felt a jump, heat waves came from all directions, and when he thought some parts of himself were going to When being swallowed, there is always someone who will protect him firmly, without missing a beat.

"Cut." Yao Li saw Shi Yu jumping into the sea of ​​flames with his arms around Lian Ying. On the one hand, he was a little worried and on the other hand, he was a little annoyed: he let this guy take the lead, and when he was about to do that, he saw the result. Everyone was taken away, he was so mad!

At this time, Yao Li would not joke about Ah Ying and his own life. In fact, he also knew that it would be safer for Shi Yu to protect Lian Ying and leave.So after adjusting the placement of the medicine box on his body, Lian Ying, who was not good at martial arts but good at lightness kung fu, also jumped into the flames.

The other guards and followers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally gritted their teeth and rushed into the sea of ​​flames.As for those secret guards who were elusive, they naturally eluded the sea of ​​fire that was gradually flourishing.The few remaining people in the circle surrounded by the sea of ​​fire looked at each other, then slowly retreated into the inn with a tricky smile on their faces.

After rushing out of the sea of ​​flames, Lian Ying was not injured at all except for the discomfort of inhaling a few mouthfuls of thick smoke. On the contrary, Shi Yu, who was protecting him, was disheveled, with paint on his arms and legs, and the traces of the flames were clearly visible. Incomparable, it burned Lian Ying's eyes, made him startled and heartbroken.

"You..." Shi Yu pulled Lian Ying behind him as soon as he opened his mouth, and before he could react, he heard the sound of arrow feathers.

Shi Yu became more cautious since the moment he came out of the sea of ​​fire. He knew that the sneak attack was not over, so he was able to react quickly when the first arrow feather was shot at them.Pulling Lian Ying behind him to protect him, he took out his sword and waved back the arrows that were shot from all directions. At this time, the hidden guards no longer hid, and all of them showed up to protect their master.

For a moment, the sword, light and sword shadow reflected the scorching fire, which was not like ordinary scenes, and was very heroic.

As soon as Yao Li came out of the sea of ​​flames, an arrow flew towards him. Fortunately, he was clever enough to dodge the arrow by swinging the medicine box he carried with him.It's just that more arrows flew at random, which caught him off guard. Fortunately, the hidden guards around him gave him a helping hand, so he could barely cope with it.Taking the time to scan the overall situation, he found that fortunately Lian Ying was fine, and that guy Shi Yu was pretty reliable.

However, those guards and followers who rushed out of the sea of ​​fire with a little slack and poor food and martial arts did not have such good luck. They died or were injured, and in the end there were fewer and fewer people left.As for whether the hidden guards will protect them, it's a joke. The only thing the dark guards need to protect from the beginning to the end is their master—Shi Yu, and Lian Ying and Yao Li are just incidental.

The fire behind him was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more arrows in front of him. What was even more terrible was that those who were lucky enough to survive could smell a strange fragrance.Gradually, the whole body seemed to have lost its strength and became extremely sore and limp, and the movement of swinging the sword to block the arrow slowed down.

Shi Yu staggered, and was shot at the arm holding the sword by an arrow shot from a tricky angle, and suddenly felt his hand soften, and he almost couldn't hold the heavy iron sword.

Lian Ying held him back from behind, looked at the more and more scars on Shi Yu's body, and was very anxious, and then saw that there were fewer and fewer hidden guards in the arena, and Yao Li's body was gradually smeared. , Feeling powerless and ashamed for a moment!At this time, at this time, he was the only one not only not busy at all, but also always dragged back. If it wasn't for him, perhaps Shi Yu would have been able to escape. How could it be getting worse and worse like it is now.

It seems that all along, in such a situation, he will never be the one who can't help.

"Ah Yu..." Lian Ying whispered into Shi Yu's ear the title that he hadn't dared to say for a long time, with a rare begging and persuasion in his words, "Can you ask the secret guard to protect you out?" ? Leave me alone!"

Except for the subtle change in Shi Yu's expression when he heard that address, he was still the same cold but stubborn guard, guarding in front of Lian Ying without moving away, and pulled out the arrow. Shihou also let the blood flow, at least this kind of pain can make him more awake, but his complexion is getting paler.

Lian Ying was moved, but it was impossible for him to put Shi Yu in danger for himself just because of this move.He is not only the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, but also the person he likes.

"Your Majesty orders you to escort him out." Seizing the opportunity, Lian Ying ordered to the closest and most intact hidden guard.

The duty of the hidden guards is to protect the emperor. If His Majesty hadn't ordered them to protect Lian Ying and Yao Li, they would have escorted His Majesty away long ago, and they would still be in such a hard-fought situation.

Immediately, the hidden guard jumped over, shared part of the pressure and said respectfully to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, I implore you to follow us to kill the general, and we will definitely protect His Majesty!"

Shi Yu's body shook for a while, and he kept the ground with his sword, but he didn't say anything, and he completely ignored the entreaties of the hidden guards. The next round of flying arrows will end without knowing when.

At this moment, everyone is at the end of their battles, and they may die here in a short time. It stands to reason that it doesn't matter if they die, as long as the emperor of the Northern Dynasty is still alive, then the Northern Dynasty will not be chaotic.But how can you tell Shi Yu to let go of Lianying?If you can't let go, you won't be able to live. This is the idea of ​​the other party.

It's a pity that the other party is doomed to be disappointed.Shi Yu sneered in his heart.

Just when the few remaining people thought they were going to die, screams came out from the hidden dark places in all directions, and the sounds of swords colliding and bodies falling to the ground sounded one after another.Everyone tensed their nerves, not knowing which group of people it was.

Shi Yu, who had been tense all the time, laughed out at this moment, and then lived up to his expectations, a lazy and frivolous voice came from far and near——

"Ouch, the fight here is really hot~ If I don't come in time, I don't know how it will end!"

As soon as the voice came out, Lian Ying heaved a sigh of relief, as soon as he heard such a beating voice, he knew that there was no one else but someone.

"You're still talking nonsense, why don't you hurry up and save people?!" Another clear voice sounded, followed by the sound of a certain part being kicked and someone begging for mercy, it really deserves a beating someone.

The dark clouds parted, the moonlight was clear, and it was Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang who came by the moonlight?
