On the third day, Anu's health improved a little.
The situation in Xianyang City was also relatively stable. Diwu Hong had used tough methods to stabilize Xianyang City, and the people no longer fled the city.
Liu Jin did not continue to stay in Xianyang City. He brought Anu, Ah Qing, and the cavalry of the Creation Chapter Camp out of Xianyang City through Xianyang Gate.
On the official road one mile away from the city, there was a lonely pavilion. There was a winding river around the pavilion. The river had already frozen, and willows were planted on both sides of the river bank.
Because it was winter, the river, withered grass, and willows made the winter look even more bleak.
There was no one on the snowy road on the official road. It was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Di Wu Hong and his two trusted aides were already waiting for Liu Jin's carriage in the pavilion.
"Your Highness, the Governor of Xianyang is requesting an audience in the pavilion over there.”
A soldier from the Jianzhang Battalion reported.
Liu Jin nodded and said to Ah Qing,"You guys stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."?”
"Oh." Ah Qing replied.
Liu Jin got out of the carriage. With his hands behind his back, he wrapped his collar tightly and walked towards the pavilion. He seemed to feel that there was someone behind him and turned around to look.
He saw Anu gently get off the carriage, holding her sword and following three steps behind Liu Jin.
Liu Jin wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
This stubborn girl wouldn't listen to anything. Moreover, she couldn't hear him. So be it.
When Liu Jin entered the pavilion, the cold wind howled around him.
Diwu Hong cupped his fists and bowed.""Greetings, Your Highness."
Liu Jin waved his hand, signaling Di Wu Hong to not be polite.
" Your Highness," Di Wu Hong said with a blush," this is the outskirts of the wilderness. The conditions here are simple and crude. The pavilion doesn't even have a curtain to block the wind. It's been hard on you."”
Liu Jin pressed his hand down and said in a deep voice,"Don't say these polite words. Is there something you want to tell me?"”
Di Wu Hong's expression turned serious as he said,""Your Highness's performance this time around was remarkable. I'm afraid that you've already attracted the attention of others.”
"I know what I'm doing." Liu Jin nodded.”
" Also," Di Wu Hong continued in a deep voice," I'm afraid that someone will find trouble with you soon after we arrive in Chang 'an.”
"They might not dare to directly fall out with you and attack you, but they will definitely beat around the bush. Your Highness is still young, and the human heart is very complicated.”
"This old man is in Xianyang and can't help Your Highness much. Here is a set of soft armor that this old man seized when he was catching thieves.”
As he spoke, he asked the servant to pass Liu Jin a huge brocade box.
"If Your Highness encounters danger, you can wear it for self-defense.”
Liu Jin looked deeply at Diwu Hong and said,""Good!"
"Then this old master won't delay Your Highness any longer.”
Liu Jin nodded, turned around, and left. There was no need to say some words of gratitude, nor was it appropriate to say them.
He only knew that this official was loyal to him and the Eastern Palace. That was enough.
……
The large group of cavalry from the Creation Chapter Camp slowly set off from outside Xianyang.
Nothing happened along the way. When they reached forty miles outside Chang 'an, they were surrounded by mountains on both sides. The mountain road was bumpy and difficult to walk on.
It was already night time, so Liu Jin ordered the troops to set up camp.
They would rest for the night and hurry on tomorrow. They would arrive at Chang 'an City by dusk.
Liu Jin finished washing up and was about to sleep in the tent when a loud shout suddenly came from outside.
"Protect His Highness!"
Then, they heard the sound of knives and spears clashing.
Liu Jin was shocked. He then put on the soft armor that Di Wu Hong had given him and put on his clothes.
At this moment, Ah Qing also walked in with a flustered expression. The little girl's face was pale, but she still bravely stood in front of Liu Jin.
" Your Highness, don't. Don't be afraid."
Liu Jin looked at Ah Qing's trembling body and patted Ah Qing's shoulder slightly."It's alright."
Anu did not go out to fight the enemy. She only hugged her sword and stood three steps away from Liu Jin with a cold expression.
Liu Jin opened the tent and went out.
In the pitch-black night, one could occasionally see the cold light of swords and sabers.
It was impossible to see the number of people on the other side, but from the sound of weapons clashing, the number of people on the other side should be far greater than the number of Zhang Creation Cavalry.
The Jianzhang Cavalry was the elite troops of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They were extremely strong in combat. Both sides were in a stalemate for a period of time. The ground was already covered with the corpses of the men in black.
A few soldiers of the Creation Chapter Cavalry had also fallen into a pool of blood.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sky full of arrows suddenly fell from the sky.
Anu rushed out like a falcon. The sword in her hand danced extremely fast. Every arrow that flew towards her became very, very slow in her eyes.
She easily chopped all the arrows flying towards her into pieces.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
This time, it wasn't an arrow, but a hidden weapon.
Liu Jin had never seen this kind of hidden weapon before. It was made of iron and very small.
For someone to be able to use an iron hidden weapon now, it meant that the other party had a certain financial strength.
Chi.
There seemed to be the sound of a hidden weapon entering flesh. Liu Jin could not see what was happening in the darkness.
In the next moment, a masked man rushed over. When he saw Anu, he was slightly stunned, then he rushed towards Liu Jin at an extremely fast speed.
Clang!
Anu's sword blocked the opponent's long saber.
Liu Jin watched all of this with his hands behind his back. His expression was extremely cold.
Swoosh!
Anu waved her sword upwards, and a long saber flew into the dark sky.
Within thirteen steps, Anu's sword was invincible!
In the next moment, Anu's sword was coldly pressed against the other party's neck.
The surroundings gradually quieted down.
The assassination came to an end.
Liu Jin walked over with his hands behind his back and stared at the assassin with an unfriendly gaze.
He reached out and lifted the assassin's veil. It was a young man with a delicate face.
"Who sent you to assassinate me?"
Liu Jin stared at him coldly.
"What's your name?"
The other party remained silent.
"I'll find out." Liu Jin smiled.”
Then, he slowly bent down and took out the Yuchang sword that Gongsun He had given him from his boot.
The current Yuchang sword was not sharp yet. It could only be extremely sharp after seeing blood.
Liu Jin held the Yuchang sword and rubbed it against his chest bit by bit.
The handsome man's expression was ferocious as he gritted his teeth.
"It's about to bleed."
Liu Jin was still talking to himself." You still have some time to explain. I can find out whether you say it or not.”
"Don't suffer so much. I'll send you away happily.”
The handsome man remained silent, but his forehead was covered in cold sweat. The clothes on his chest were torn, and the Yuchang sword was already pressed against his flesh, almost bleeding.
"Then don't say anymore."
Puchi.
The fish intestines were bleeding and slowly pierced into his chest.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The handsome man's hysterical scream echoed in the dark night.
