Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"You haven't said anything yet! Why are you leaving?!" Xu Jiaoer hurriedly stopped Li Huoyue who was about to leave without any reluctance.

Li Huoyue stopped at the door and turned back to ask, "What did you say?"

"I told you the secret of my palace examination, shouldn't you tell me how to survive?!" Xu Jiaoer walked quickly to Li Huoyue and wanted to grab Li Huoyue's arm.

Li Huoyue was wary of her and dodged Xu Jiaoer's hand. "You..."

In Li Huoyue's eyes, Xu Jiaoer was actually doomed to die. She had come here to get some information, and as an exchange of information, she had already told Xu Jiaoer that time travelers were not welcome in the Southern Country, and she hoped that she would wake up a little and stop running to the emperor to ask for official positions and rewards.

But Xu Jiao'er, who seemed to be stuck in a quagmire with her last breath left, looked over with a look of hope amidst despair.

She paused, unable to say anything.

What's the use of being sober? You've been targeted and there's no way to escape death.

Is there a big difference between dying conscious and dying confused?

"You should find a way to improve your own value." Li Huoyue sighed. Her life was not smooth sailing at the moment. "Since you have the wisdom to make His Majesty look forward to the gun manufacturing drawings, you'd better keep him looking forward to it. Don't really give him nothing, and don't reveal everything at once."

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing." Li Huoyue said sincerely, "Others can listen to what those people in Nanxia River say, but you can't. You must not think about escaping from Kyoto."

What was the best advice in Li Huoyue's eyes had a different meaning when it came to Xu Jiaoer's ears.

"You want me to die, right?" Xu Jiao'er was a little overwhelmed. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears and they kept rolling down.

Li Huoyue suspected that she had heard it wrong. She was giving good advice on how to live longer, so why did it become a suggestion about wanting someone to die?

Get sick!

Xu Jiaoer saw Li Huoyue standing at the door with a calm expression, as if he never had any worries.

Yes, she has been a pampered young lady since she was born. How could she have any worries? If anything happens, her father and brothers will be the first to protect her.

And what does Xu Jiaoer have?

A poor person who traveled through time and had no one to rely on, finally managed to stand on her own feet with her talent, but she was told that from the moment she decided to show her talent, she was sending herself to the guillotine.

Li Huoyue's indifference was in stark contrast to her desolation, causing her to almost lose control and yell, "I'm just an ordinary person. At most, I can recite some poems. How can I have so many things that His Majesty can expect?! Don't you know what he expects?!"

Li Huoyue didn't know what Xu Jiao'er was thinking. It seemed like Xu Jiao'er didn't understand what he was saying. "I know, but what? Don't you need to save yourself? Is there any connection between whether I know or not and whether you can survive?"

"Then why don't you let me go?!"

Li Huoyue really couldn't stand this idiot anymore, and he cursed anxiously, "When did I stop you from leaving?! If you want to die, just go ahead! Who stopped you?!"

It was getting late, and Li Huoyue had to hurry to meet his father.

Without saying anything more to Xu Jiaoer, he walked past her and left quickly.

Afraid of being harassed by Xu Jiao'er again, she sped up a lot and almost disappeared as soon as she went out.

When Xu Jiaoer immediately chased out, Li Huoyue was nowhere to be seen.

"Li Huoyue! How can you just leave like that?!"

Li Huoyue could no longer hear Xu Jiaoer's roar, and she did not have to be responsible for Xu Jiaoer's emotions.

It was still raining, lightly and continuously, mixed with a slightly cool spring breeze.

The grass is sprouting and the willow trees are sprouting new buds. Everything is developing in a good direction of prosperity.

The whole of Kyoto welcomes another spring in the mist and rain.

Li Huoyue stayed at Xu Jiaoer's place for a while. Fortunately, he arrived at Jingxuan Bridge just in time. As soon as he stood still, he saw a royal carriage galloping towards him from afar.

Li Huoyue didn't bring any handy tools when she went out, so she could only pick up a smooth stone from the roadside. She stared at the carriage, ready to take action as soon as it got closer.

However, it was not only Li Huoyue who attacked the carriage today.

Before Li Huoyue could make any move, there was a sudden sound of something sharp breaking through the air.

"call out--"

An arrow with a red tail pierced straight into the galloping horse's head, piercing its eye.

This move happened too quickly and hit the target immediately, leaving no chance to dodge.

At the same time, two figures flashed out from the southeast and quickly moved towards the carriage and the horse's head.

The speed was so fast that the coachman had no time to react to what was happening. He subconsciously reined in the horse, causing the horse and carriage to stop in the middle of the empty road.

"Gan!"

Li Huoyue had no time to think, she could only rush forward. The distance was too far and the assassin was about to succeed. She turned her wrist and a stone hit the temple of the person who rushed into the carriage.

Eager to save her father, she threw the stone with all her might, and the smooth stone actually went straight into the assassin's brain, killing him instantly.

The remaining assassin's goal was to cooperate in chopping off the horse's head. Just as he succeeded, he was surprised to find that his companion had suddenly fallen down, with blood all over his face and the knife still in his hand.

The coachman was so frightened that he was shaking, but he didn't dare to move aside. He was almost chopped to death just now. His mind was blank, but he kept shouting, "How dare you! Do you know who is in the car?!"

After chopping off the horse's head, the assassins didn't care about the death of their companions. They came here with a mission today, and the people in the car must die!

Without further ado, the assassin swung his knife again.

Li Huoyue also arrived. Using the force of the carriage, he climbed onto the carriage and swept the assassin down with his legs.

The assassin didn't even notice where Li Huoyue came out from, and was flown away without noticing.

Since the person was not dead, he had to continue. He got up tremblingly, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and prepared to go forward to fight again.

Li Huoyue picked up the dead assassin's knife and threw it out like a javelin, effortlessly breaking off one of the opponent's legs.

The assassin staggered and fell, and Li Huoyue snatched the coachman's whip and swung it hard at the assassin's hands.

The movement was clean and neat, without any pause in the whole process, and two assassins were left lying there, one dead and the other injured.

"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for wine or food?" Li Huoyue threw the whip back to the driver. "Hurry up and notify the patrol team. There are people who dare to assassinate openly around the palace. It's a good thing that the person in the carriage is not His Majesty!"

The coachman nodded repeatedly, half fell and half crawled out of the carriage to find the Yulin Army on duty.

Li Huoyue was also a little frightened, but now that everything had calmed down, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her useless old father almost got hacked to death right under her nose.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked inside while saying, "Father, who have you offended?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the scene inside the car, the color drained away from her face and she froze in place in a daze.
