Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

In the heavy rain, a horse-drawn carriage was wobbling along the mountain road.

Around the carriage, a group of guards in black and straw raincoats were standing. The rain was hitting their bodies, soaking them, but they seemed unconscious and looked around vigilantly.

The tightly closed car window was opened by a bony hand, and the cold air and raindrops poured into the car uncontrollably, splashing the man all over.

"What bad luck!"

Wu Xiaowen patted the dirty water spots on his sleeve with a look of disgust and complained: "If we had known it would rain so hard, we might as well have stayed in the temple."

The carriage was very large, and there was a lamp hanging on the inner wall of the carriage, which made the interior particularly bright.

The tightly sealed carriage blocked out the sound of wind and rain outside. A young man in black was holding a book and reading it intently.

Hearing Wu Xiaowen's complaints, the little girl with a pale face lying on the bench in the pavilion flashed before his eyes.

"Your Highness, you are not familiar with Madam Zhou of the Duke's Mansion. Why should we give the yard to her?"

Wu Xiaowen was even more puzzled. "Besides, Madam Zhou has been coming to the temple to burn incense for many years, so she must have her own dedicated incense room."

"You talk too much nonsense!" Ye Mo gently turned a page of the book in his hand, "If you talk too much, you can go out and sit down."

go out?

How could he say such cruel words?

Wu Xiaowen recalled the quick glance he had just taken and saw that Zhuifeng and the others were soaked to the skin, and he shook himself.

He likes cleanliness and would never do such a messy thing.

"Ye Mo, you met with Master Xuwu today. Did you get any news about him?" Wu Xiaowen asked in a servile tone.

snort!

Ye Mo made him unhappy, so naturally he had to find something to make him unhappy.

As expected, Ye Mo's face darkened as soon as he mentioned this.

"Do you really want to go out?" His few words were light and intimidating.

Wu Xiaowen leaned against the wall of the car and laughed, "Don't I feel wronged?"

"If I spend a day in the alchemy room at the mansion, I might be able to figure out the properties of the Flame Water Lily flower, and perhaps the progress of alchemy can be advanced."

Wu Xiaowen looked depressed. "This is a waste of a whole day."

"I didn't force you to come." Ye Mo replied softly.

These words choked Wu Xiaowen.

"Yes, yes, yes!" He agreed helplessly, "Your Highness Prince Qi didn't force me. It was because I was afraid you might feel unwell and be in danger that I insisted on following you."

He curled his lips and said, "You know I'm narrow-minded. Besides, that Miss Su once said something like that."

When they first met, he observed that the girl looked at His Highness with a strange look in her eyes.

It wasn't a look of admiration, but rather one of worry and pity.

She once, unafraid of pressure, forcefully told him, "Your Highness, it's best not to leave the city for the next month. If you absolutely must, be sure to take it with you."

Now, Ye Mo broke her warning.

In a short time, he was out of the city.

Wu Xiaowen hurried to look at his chest, and even reached out to touch it anxiously...

"What are you doing?" Ye Mo stopped his restless hand and said, "Behave yourself."

"Please wear the breastplate that girl gave you."

Wu Xiaowen reminded again, "Recently, the Huanyue Kingdom's spies in the capital have been active. They are still a little hesitant while we are in the city."

"Once we leave the city, if we encounter another assassination attempt, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of!" Ye Mo slammed the book in his hand onto the low table next to him. "If they have the guts to come, I will make them return dead."

"Have you arranged the personnel?"

Wu Xiaowen leaned over and asked slyly, "I watched carefully. When we went to Baiyun Temple this morning, the people following the carriage were all ordinary guards from the palace. Now, they have been replaced by expert secret guards."

He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, are you setting a trap with yourself to catch all the spies?"

Ye Mo picked up the teacup on the low table, took a sip of tea, and did not answer.

Instead, it was Zhuifeng at the shaft who, quite fittingly, suddenly called out, "There's an assassin, Your Highness! Sit tight."

It was clearly a tense moment of life and death, but a hint of excitement could be heard in his voice.

There was a crack of the whip in the air, the horse neighed loudly, and the wheels rolled faster on the muddy ground, making a dull grunt.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard all around.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Through the sound of rain, the sound of arrows breaking through the air came at a high speed.

The two people in the car reacted quickly, squatting down and lowering their bodies.

"Boom"

"dong dong"

"dong dong dong"

The sound of arrows hitting the carriages was one faster than the other, so close and rapid, like the cry of death and the roar of war drums, which made people's heart beat faster.

Ye Mo lay on the wall of the car and looked out the window through the special viewing port.

In the dense forest not far away, a group of assassins in black drew their bows and shot arrows.

In the reflection of lightning, arrows were tempered with dark green poison and shot towards him like raindrops.

The carriage is made of hardwood and covered with a layer of metal black iron. It looks ordinary but is extremely sturdy.

The arrows came at me with great force, hit the wall of the carriage, and fell down one after another.

The carriage was intact.

The twenty secret guards behind the carriage dismounted as quickly as possible.

They took out pieces of black iron from the saddles and quickly formed shields to block the enemy's rain of arrows.

Seeing that their plan failed, the assassins pounced on them with swords in hand.

"Bang!" The speeding carriage suddenly stopped, and the two people inside the carriage held on to the carriage to steady themselves.

Zhuifeng called out, "Your Highness, the road ahead is blocked."

Ye Mo lifted the car curtain and saw that a century-old tree in front of the car was broken in half, spanning the entire road, with some boulders scattered around it.

"Kill, leave no one behind."

In the heavy rain and wind, the assassin leader's shouts were deafening and made people's blood boil.

A group of assassins, armed with long swords, surrounded the carriage and attacked like crazy hornets.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaowen grabbed the wall of the carriage and pulled it out, revealing a sharp sword. "Your Highness, please wait a moment. Let me meet them first."

On weekdays, when he was around Ye Mo, he always called him by his name without any respect.

But once faced with a critical moment, he always remembered the distinction between the monarch and his subjects, and would never let Ye Mo take any risk.

The white figure, completely ignoring the rain and mud outside, fought with the killer.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and only the sound of rain and the shadow of swords remained in the world.

The rain blurred everyone's vision, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

Each of Ye Mo's Golden Dark Guards is a top martial arts master, especially Wu Xiaowen.

He studied medicine, and his body seemed to be boneless, lying down all day long. He looked thin, but among this group of people, his swordsmanship was the best.

A long sword in his hand moved around like a dragon, and the severed heads rolled on the ground like watermelons.

The Jin Anwei's men were ruthless and became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The killers' bodies were scattered all over the ground, and the wailing sounds continued.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the assassin leader was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He aimed a poisoned arrow at the people in the carriage.

"Ye Mo, you are a coward. Since you are hiding, I, your grandpa, will kill him."

No sooner said than done, the arrow changed direction, like a flash of lightning, piercing through the rain curtain and heading straight for Wu Xiaowen's heart.
