Final Volume Chapter 69

The man in black looked at Xiao Xiang, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am Feng Ren. The king sent me to protect His Highness the Princess!"

It's someone sent by Tang Yin! Xiao Xiang was secretly surprised, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and asked: "The last time I was in danger in Rongdi's house, was it you who reported the letter to General Buying?"

At that time, Xiao Xiang fell into Xiao Rong's plan and was trapped in the Young Master's Mansion. As a result, Buying led the army to arrive immediately, killed Xiao Rong and rescued Xiao Xiang. Afterwards, Xiao Xiang also asked Buying carefully why he The meeting came so quickly, and how did she know that Brother Rong wanted to harm her? Bu Ying told the truth. He had no idea that Xiao Rong was going to harm Xiao Xiang. Someone secretly tipped him off, so he brought someone to the Jiu Gongzi Mansion to find out. It turned out that the tip of the tip was true. , Xiao Xiang was indeed in danger at the Ninth Young Master's Mansion. Afterwards, he also wanted to find the person who reported the news to express his gratitude, but the person had already disappeared. (

..)

Since the person who secretly reported the information to Buying could not be found, the matter became an unsolved case. Furthermore, the other party had good intentions. Since he did not want to show up, Xiao Xiang did not delve into it further. Now, She saw the man in black and naturally connected him with this matter.

The man in black smiled indifferently, shrugged and said, "Her Royal Highness is indeed very smart! It's just a simple task, Princess, you don't have to worry about it."

While speaking, he suddenly tilted his head, listened for a moment, put away his smile, and said seriously to Xiao Xiang: "The people from the Fifth Legion will be here soon. I really have to leave. Please take care of yourself, Princess!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Xiang to react, he forcibly pulled down Xiao Xiang's hand that was holding his shirt, and jumped into the wheat field. In just a moment, the person disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Xiang still had too many questions that needed him to answer. She wanted to know why Tang Yin sent people to Zhaoyang, what was his purpose, and why he wanted people to protect her secretly. If she died, those young masters who had temporarily united together would The princesses will inevitably turn around and kill each other. The battle for the throne of Sichuan Kingdom will only become more intense and confusing, and the court will definitely become more chaotic. Isn't this more beneficial to Feng Kingdom?

However, the man in black didn't give her a chance to ask more questions. Xiao Xiang stood up quickly and subconsciously chased in the direction where the man in black disappeared. However, before she could take more than two steps, her feet gave way and she fell to the ground again. The legs didn't seem to belong to him, they were heavy, sore and weak.

Just as she was struggling to get up from the ground again, there was a sound of horse hooves, and a large group of Sichuan cavalry rushed towards her like a whirlwind. In an instant, the Sichuan cavalry rushed to Xiao Xiang and immediately surrounded her. Immediately afterwards, the knights on the horse dismounted one after another. The leader, Sichuan General, walked quickly to Xiao Xiang, knelt down on one knee, and stepped in to salute. , said anxiously: "The general arrived too late to save me and frightened the princess. Please punish me!"

The Sichuan general who spoke looked like he was in his thirties, with a face as white as jade, eyebrows of eight colors, eyes like stars, handsome appearance, and heroic appearance. He was no one else, but the general of the Sichuan Kingdom. Let him go. .

Xiao Xiang stared blankly at the direction where the man in black disappeared. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and turned to look at Ren Fang, who was kneeling in front of her.

Seeing clearly who was coming, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed. She could no longer hold on, her vision suddenly went dark, and then she didn't know anything anymore. Ren Fang's concerned voice could be heard vaguely in her ears: "Your Highness, Princess" ,your Highness--"

When Xiao Xiang woke up leisurely, it was more than an hour later. She was already lying in the tent at the Fifth Army Corps station. Surrounding the bed were either medical officers or maids, while Ren Fang was pacing back and forth anxiously. .

"The princess is awake, the princess is awake!" The medical officer was the first to notice that Xiao Xiang had woken up. He was surprised and shouted repeatedly.

Hearing the call of the medical officer, Ren Fang hurriedly stopped, separated from the crowd, took three steps into two steps, came to the bed, bent down, and asked nervously: "How does the princess feel? Where is she injured?"

The princess was assassinated by an assassin within his jurisdiction. If there were any shortcomings, he would not be able to escape the blame. If not, he would have to kill the whole family and bury the princess with him.

Xiao Xiang first looked at him, then looked at the other people beside the bed, and then slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, her muddy head finally became clearer. She opened her eyes again, looked at Ren Fang, and asked feebly: "Where is the assassin?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured that the assassin is dead now and has escaped. He will no longer threaten the princess." Seeing that Xiao Xiang's pale cheeks finally regained some color, Ren Fang's heart hanging in his throat finally stopped. fell down.

"Have you...have you found out the identity of the assassin?" Xiao Xiang propped up the bed with her elbows and tried to sit up. The maids around her hurriedly stretched out their hands to help her sit up.

Ren Fang frowned and shook his head, saying: "The assassins did not leave any evidence or clues on them, and even the armor they wore was not programmed."

As long as the armor of Sichuan Kingdom is distributed, it will be numbered. The central army will be branded with the mark of the affiliated legion, the local army will be branded with the local mark, and the family army will also be branded with the family emblem.

The armor worn by these assassins did not have these marks, and their specific identities could not be determined from them.

After hearing Ren Fang's words, Xiao Xiang showed a wry smile and said, "So, the armor they wear is all privately made."

"Oh..." Ren Fang nodded in embarrassment and replied: "It's very possible." However, there is another possibility, that is, there is someone in the manufacturing department who has just been manufactured by the assassin through the internal response of the manufacturing department. The armor was secretly stolen before it could be branded. Of course, the last thing Ren Fang wants to see is this happening, and the Manufacturing Department is not within his jurisdiction.

Xiao Xiang still wanted to speak, but suddenly frowned again and said to the maids on the left and right: "Bring me a glass of water!"

A maid quickly agreed, poured a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Xiang. The latter drank it all in one gulp and downed the water. She looked much more energetic. She cleared her throat and asked again: "What are the casualties of the guards I brought with me?"

"This..." Ren Fang lowered his head and said nothing.

"General Ren, if you have anything to say, just say it. I can still stand it!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the princess's bodyguards are all loyal and loyal. Now...all of them have died for the country and no one has survived." Ren Fang gritted his teeth and finished the sentence.

After Xiao Xiang heard this, the cup in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes turned red, and tears rolled down silently.

Many of her personal guards have been following her for several years. Normally, she might not look at them twice, but that doesn't mean she has no feelings for them. Now I heard that the guards are fighting to the death, all of them. Xiao Xiang was deeply saddened by his death in battle and tried not to cry.

The look of her silently weeping made people feel even more distressed when they saw her. Even Ren Fang felt bursts of heartache when he saw it. He persuaded in a low voice: "There is no resurrection after death, so please forgive me, Princess!"

Xiao Xiang looked at Ren Fang with tearful eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I am crying that their death is not worth it, but I am also crying that they bullied me too much!"

Ren Xin's head trembled and he asked suspiciously: "Them?"

Xiao Xiang's eyes red from crying stared at Ren Fang without blinking, and asked: "General Ren thinks who can raise so many and powerful assassins, and be so eager to kill me, even at the fifth Are you going to take risks within the military base?”

"This..." Ren Fang is not a fool. He can naturally guess that this matter must be related to the battle for the throne. The assassin of the ten is also sent by a young master or princess who is not compatible with Xiao Xiang, but he cannot say this. It is treason to doubt the young master or princess without any evidence.

He finally shook his head and said, "I don't know the end."

Xiao Xiang glanced at him with a resentful look and said with a cry: "Now that things have happened, does General Ren still want to stay out of the matter and remain uncontested? In order to fight for the throne, they have used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks and countless desires. He caused me to die, and even made my own opinions. I invited thirteen princes to lead my family army to besiege Zhaoyang. I am afraid that if I don't die, the family army outside the city will forcefully invade the capital and kill me. , Will General Ren continue to sit idly by and let me be slaughtered? "

Ren Fang shuddered, stirred up a shiver, and said subconsciously: "No, Your Highness, no matter how daring the princes are, they will never dare to commit the crime openly and murder the princess..."

"What if they really want to do this?"

"Then the general must do his best, even if his body is broken to pieces, to kill the rebel and ensure that the princess is safe."

"In this case, General Ren should stand on my side now, expel those princes who returned to the capital without the court's order, and strictly investigate the murderers behind the assassination of this palace!" The tears in Xiao Xiang's eyes disappeared and were replaced. It's a strong hatred.

Ren Fang smiled bitterly and lowered his head without saying a word.

The culprit behind the pursuit of the assassin and the expulsion of the princes back to the capital will be what the final result will be. It will definitely turn into a war. If it comes to that, the entire Sichuan country will be in chaos, and this is exactly what the tigers are watching. What Feng Guo wanted to see.

The Sichuan Kingdom cannot withstand such turmoil and civil strife. This battle for the throne can only be a literary battle, not a military battle. This is Ren Xin's true thought.

He insists that he does not lean towards any side, which can balance the forces of Xiao Xiang, Xiao Ting, and Xiao Yuan. Both sides have mutual concerns, and no one dares to use force easily. The battle for the throne between the two sides can only remain in a fight without being resolved. To a certain extent, once one's attitude tilts, whether towards Xiao Xiang, Xiao Ting or Xiao Yuan, it will inflate his confidence, make the other party fall into despair, and the situation will progress to the point where it is difficult to control.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders." Ren Fang's brows knitted into knots. He was now a little undecided about what to do.
