Chapter 40 Life and Death
In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Su Quandang borrowed all the master Li Yuanxiu from Zhao Dongting.
But no one expected that in the middle of the night, dozens of men in black quietly touched the palace along the cliff.
Zhao Dongting was sleeping soundly, but suddenly heard the guards outside shouting: "There is an assassin!"
Then there were several screams one after another.
He hurriedly jumped out of the bed.
After listening carefully, even the sound of weapons fighting was vaguely heard. The assassins were obviously very close to his bedroom.
Zhao Dongting immediately realized that these assassins were coming for him.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the guards guarding the yard of the bedroom running outside the yard with the geese-ling sword.
In the darkness, you could vaguely see someone fighting. It turned out that the assassins had actually reached the gate of his bedroom.
"emperor!"
At this time, Ying Er and Le Wu also ran out of the room. When they saw Zhao Dongting, they hurriedly ran towards him.
Zhao Dongting looked at the assassins outside the yard, and knew that the guards could not resist it. He looked at the house, and even if he hid it, he didn't know where to hide it. At this moment, he felt a little anxious. Although he had traveled through time, he was not a god.
Ying'er, Lewu ran to him, and Ying'er hurriedly said, "Master, let's go quickly!"
Even after the last assassination incident, the number of guards inside and outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom had increased to more than ten, but there were many black-clothed assassination guests. At this time, the guards were still suppressed into the yard and were about to be unable to withstand it. Zhao Dongting could already see the heads of those black-clothed men wearing facial scarves.
Le Wu's delicate face was also full of anxiety. At this time, her eyes rolled twice and said, "Follow me."
Then she pulled Zhao Dongting to the wall. Ying'er hurriedly followed behind.
When you reach the wall, Liwu easily stepped onto the wall.
Although Ying Er's light skills are not as good as hers, she also leveraged the lamppost next to her and jumped onto the wall.
But Zhao Dongting was too young and could only look at the two-meter-high courtyard wall.
Le Wu said: "Your Majesty, climb up the lamppost quickly, let's pull you up."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongting hurriedly climbed onto the lamppost and handed it to Le Wu and Ying'er with both hands.
The two women held his hand and pulled it up, and Zhao Dongting himself also stepped on the wall to leverage the force.
But at this time, a light shout sounded behind him: "Where can the foolish lord escape!"
Then there were two sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
It turned out that the guards were all defeated in this short period of time.
Zhao Dongting groaned, and the pain on his back was burning. Fortunately, at this moment, Ying Er and his daughters also pulled him to the wall.
The three of them jumped down.
Zhao Dongting rolled to the ground, and before he could make any moves, he was pulled up by Lewu and ran away.
In the dark night, the three of them ran wildly.
Not far behind, there were many men in black who had crossed the wall chasing them. The sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air sounded one after another.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and those hidden weapons did not hit the three people, most of them shot on the trees, making a dull sound.
Zhao Dongting gradually turned from pain to numbness, but there was no time to take care of this life-and-death moment, letting music and dance, Ying Er staggered and ran.
The thorns in the woods cut their clothes and pierced their skin, like fire.
"Quick! Quick!"
Lewu kept shouting in her mouth.
The scolding and shouting behind him stopped, and the three of them turned a deaf ear to each other.
In times of life and death crisis, people can always burst out with unimaginable potential, which makes the man in black behind fail to catch up.
But tonight seems to be destined to be a great disaster for Zhao Dongting.
Suddenly, the sound of waves slamming the shore came from my ears, and the front suddenly became empty, and it was actually at the edge of the cliff.
The three of them hurriedly stopped by the cliff.
Zhao Dongting leaned over to look down the cliff and saw that the reefs were rugged. Their foothold was more than ten meters high from the sea.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Dongting couldn't help feeling depressed, "I didn't expect that before I met the Yuan army, I would have to die here..."
There is a dead end in the front, but there are pursuers behind. In this case, if you want to escape from heaven, you can only have wings.
At this time, Le Wu put her left hand in her mouth and whistled.
The whistle spread melodiously in the sea breeze.
The man in black behind him chased him, and there were dozens of people.
The person in charge has a tall figure and black hair hangs behind his head and drifts in the wind.
He sneered and said to Zhao Dongting: "Dog Emperor, now it depends on where you are running!"
Zhao Dongting held Le Wu and Ying'er's hands and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
The leader in black saw Le Wu's appearance clearly and lost his mind in an instant. But in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal and said, "Of course we are the ones who practice the way for heaven."
Zhao Dongting wanted to say something else, but was caught off guard by Le Wu and jumped down the cliff, "Ah..."
Ying Er also jumped off.
A man in black quickly issued a hidden weapon, but it was a little late after all, and the hidden weapon only pierced the night sky.
Zhao Dongting and the other two fell heavily into the sea.
The strong impact force caused severe pain in Zhao Dongting's chest and abdomen, and he fell into a coma in a blink of an eye.
In the moment before he was unconscious, he seemed to see a golden shadow jumping towards him in the sea water at a very fast speed.
A group of men in black hurried to the edge of the cliff.
Someone asked, "Do we need to go and have a look?"
The black-clothed leader was silent for a while and raised his hand and said, "No need, we have already alarmed the guards, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time."
Then, the men in black quickly disappeared in the night and rowed away from the island of Benzhou.
The sky is dark and bright.
Zhao Dongting woke up and turned around, opened his eyelids with difficulty, feeling endless fatigue, but heard the sobs of a woman in his ears.
Looking at it, it was the little girl Lewu.
Lie on Ying'er's legs, Ying'er drowsy with her head down and she has not yet woken up.
Zhao Dongting opened his mouth, felt thirsty, coughed twice, and asked, "Lewu, you cry..."
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the golden sea snake not far away next to Liwu.
But the sea snake was lying on the ground at this time, not moving.
The sea snake is dead.
Ying Er was awakened by Zhao Dongting's cough. When she opened her eyes and saw Zhao Dongting, she cried and laughed, "Your Majesty, you are awake! You are awake!"
Le Wu also glanced at him, but then she lowered her head and cried, crying very sadly.
"sorry……"
Zhao Dongting murmured. He remembered the golden shadow he saw before he was unconscious and knew that the death of the sea snake must have something to do with him.
Ying'er gently wiped off the mud and sand from Zhao Dongting's face, and her eyes were also red. "Lewu she... She fed you Huanglong's gentian..."
Zhao Dongting said: "Why?"
Ying Er replied: "The hidden weapon on your back is poisonous..."
As he said that, he couldn't help but cry softly.
