The branches swayed and the fruits fell to the ground.
Chu Changsheng used these fruits of different colors to make a garden picture.
"There are still some dark red fruits left." Her delicate eyebrows wrinkled, "There are too few red fruits."
Chu Hongyu leaned her head over and said, "There are also many camphor trees growing outside the wall of our backyard. I will pick fruits for you."
"Brother, you can't tell the difference between light red, deep red and water red." Chu Changsheng stood up with his hands clean, "Brother, please stay in the backyard to entertain the guests. I will pick the fruits myself."
Xie Xian pursed her lips and smiled: "Chang Sheng, I'll go with you."
"Both of you can't climb trees, I'm going to help." Xie Shiyun volunteered. In fact, he was out of place here and would rather find something to do.
Meng Shen ordered the servants in the courtyard: "You all follow up and be careful, don't let the little princess fall."
Chu Changsheng was accompanied by two personal maids and a maid who knew Kung Fu, sent by the Yun family to protect Chang Sheng.
Five or six servants surrounded the young master and walked towards the outer wall of the backyard.
There was a side door here. The maid asked her mother-in-law to open the side door and walked out first. Seeing that there was no one waiting outside, she let a few children out.
Chu Changsheng looked at the tall tree with a smile on his face: "Look, those clusters are all red."
Xie Shiyun geared up, rolled up his sleeves, hugged the tree trunk and was about to climb up.
The maid hurriedly said: "This tree is too tall, so I'd better be a slave."
She jumped onto a branch, then continued upward, and soon reached the crimson fruit.
While she was picking fruit, something unexpected happened.
Above her, a strong wind suddenly struck.
She looked up and saw a man in green clothes hidden among the leaves. If he hadn't been so close, she wouldn't have been able to spot him.
The man in green took out a long sword from his sleeve and faced the maid's face.
The maid quickly avoided it and her arm was slashed.
She reacted quickly and said loudly: "Quickly, take the princess back to the house!"
Then he turned sideways, raised his left leg, and kicked it hard. He then pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the opponent's heart without ceremony.
When her sword was only a few feet away from the opponent's neck, another strong wind struck from behind.
It turned out that there was someone hiding in the shadow of the tree.
The maid had no time to dodge and was hit in the back. She fell from the tree and fell hard to the ground.
The children under the tree were already stunned.
The accompanying servants picked up Chu Changsheng, Xie Xian and Xie Shiyun by the way, and hurriedly ran to the back door of the palace, shouting as they ran: "Come quickly! There are assassins!"
Prince Pingxi's Mansion in the Western Zhou Dynasty had arranged soldiers and secret guards to protect the entire palace. As soon as something happened here, the soldiers would have already received the news.
All the assassins hiding in the darkness emerged.
Not one or two.
But dozens, close to a hundred.
Wearing clothes of various colors, hiding in trees, in the grass, under the eaves...
The servant holding three children was stabbed in the back by the assassins before he could even run into the palace gate.
The assassins' eyes glanced back and forth at the three children, and finally, without stopping, they picked up all three children and carried them on their shoulders.
"Quick, stop them!"
The soldiers and secret guards quickly chased after him. Just as they were chasing him out of the alley, another wave of assassins attacked and blocked the way.
The royal banquet is still going on.
While they were drinking and drinking, the program rushed in with an anxious look on his face: "Your Majesty... Your Highness, the princess has been kidnapped!"
"What!" Chu Yi stood up suddenly, quickly followed the procedure and walked towards the backyard, and said coldly, "Recruit eight thousand elite soldiers immediately, seal off the capital, and search with all your strength!"
Yunchu also got the news, and when he walked from the banquet hall, he staggered a little.
She simply couldn't believe it. Someone dared to kidnap Chang Sheng at the back door of the palace. Who was so brave?
"The soldiers who had a direct confrontation with the assassins said that those assassins did not speak the Jin language, and they looked different from the people of the Jin country." The program's voice was deep, "My subordinates are suspicious that they are spies from other countries..."
Chu Yi's voice was cold: "Where are the soldiers in that mansion!"
The soldier was seriously injured and stabbed in the waist and abdomen, but he was still holding on for breath. He tried his best to imitate the assassin's tone of voice.
"They are from the Dongling Kingdom!" Yun Chu's eyes were filled with frightening coldness.
She only knew that more than ten years later, the Dongling Kingdom invaded the Jin Dynasty, but she did not know that people from the Dongling Kingdom had sneaked into the capital so early.
Those people burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. She didn't dare to think about how Chang Sheng would be tortured if he fell into the hands of those people...
"They came prepared." Chu Yi gently held Yun Chu's hand, "Chu'er, go back and take care of Brother Jue. I will definitely bring Chang Sheng home unharmed."
Yun Chu looked into his eyes: "When Chang Sheng was scared, the person he wanted to see most was his mother. I want to go with you."
The capital was immediately on alert.
All the west gates were closed, and all the roads out of the city were blocked.
The people didn't know what happened and didn't dare to stay on the street any longer. They went home and locked up. But soon, the searching officers and soldiers came and searched the house inside and outside...
In an inconspicuous courtyard, a carriage drove in.
Three children who were knocked unconscious were thrown out of the carriage.
Several people in the courtyard were talking in a language that the Jin people could not understand.
"Asshole, why did you seal off the capital so quickly? Getting out of the city is a big problem!"
"Didn't you say that the princess is not your legitimate daughter and is not valued by King Pingxi? Why did you send so many people to blockade the capital?"
"We have been lurking in the capital for so long and planning for so long. Don't get into trouble. It's not too late to leave the city after the storm has passed."
"There are so many people in the capital who need to eat. It's impossible to keep the city gates closed. Let's wait for the opportunity and bring the princess back. It will be a great achievement."
"Although she is not the legitimate daughter, she is also the biological daughter of the new crown prince and the future eldest princess. Gee, this is the greatest weapon for our Dongling Kingdom in the future!"
“……”
The sky gradually darkened.
Chu Changsheng only felt a headache, the pain was about to explode. She slowly opened her eyes, but everything was dark. She suddenly remembered that when she was picking red fruits behind the palace, an assassin suddenly appeared. She was The assassin slashed the back of the neck hard and fainted.
So now, is she in the hands of an assassin?
Once you become familiar with the dark environment, your eyes will gradually be able to see something.
She saw two people lying next to her, and she exclaimed in a low voice: "Xian, wake up, Shiyun..."
Xie Xian and Xie Shiyun touched the back of their necks and slowly opened their eyes. It took a long time to adapt to the light.
"Where is this..." Xie Xian's voice was full of fear, "The bad guys have captured us. What are they going to do? Are we going to die..."
