Chapter 17 Princess Pingxi

"My Lord, there are two groups of people fighting in front. Should we wait here or..."

"Two groups of people fighting?" Lu Fan asked himself in confusion, and immediately ordered:

"Then wait here for a while."

He is not a saint. He is willing to do things that involve his own interests and are beneficial to himself.

But he will not get involved in things that have nothing to do with him and have no benefits.

"Yes!"

With Lu Fan's order, the team of more than a hundred people stopped, and the two groups in front continued to fight.

One of them was obviously at a disadvantage, and in less than a moment, only a white-haired old man and a girl were left.

Seeing that the other party was coming again, the white-haired old man grabbed the girl's shoulders and rushed towards Lu Fan and his party.

Seeing this, Xiahou Wei, who was at the front of the team, shouted: "Stop... If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you without mercy!"

While shouting, Xiahou Wei burst out with terrifying murderous intent. Seeing this, the white-haired old man hurriedly stopped and clasped his fists and said:

"General, I am the guest elder of the Pingxi Palace, and this is the Princess of Pingxi. We were attacked by thieves. I hope the general will kill the thieves!"

The white-haired old man deliberately raised his voice, so Lu Fan in the carriage of the beast cart could hear it clearly.

"Princess of Pingxi?" Lu Fan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that my cheap cousin!"

In addition to Emperor Qian Lu Zheng, the Daqian Dynasty also has four guarding princes.

Pingdong King Lu Wenhu, Pingnan King Lu Shifang, Pingxi King Lu Xuelong and Pingbei King Lu Shaoqing.

The four guarding princes are called the Four Kings of Daqian, guarding the southeast, northwest and northeast of Daqian respectively, and commanding four major legions.

Because of the four kings and the four major legions, the border of Daqian is also very stable.

Until 20 years ago, the King of Zhenbei mysteriously disappeared.

The entire northern border fell into chaos, and forces of all sizes took the opportunity to rebel. The Tianwu barbarians even invaded, and the northern border was in danger.

Fortunately, the left general of the Zhenbei Army, Gu Tiefeng, strongly suppressed a large number of rebels, and led the Zhenbei Army to counterattack the Tianwu barbarians, which stopped the rebellion.

For this reason, Lu Fan had heard about the King of Zhenbei, Lu Shaoqing, who was his fifth uncle.

However, he did not know much about his fourth uncle, the King of Pingxi, except that he had an only daughter.

Princess Pingxi, Lu Wushuang!

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Lu Fan lifted the curtain and walked out.

Standing on the shaft of the car, he saw the pale and beautiful girl at a glance.

Just as Lu Fan looked at his cheap cousin, the dozen black-robed assassins who were chasing the two also came to the mighty front.

Facing a team of more than a hundred people, these dozen black-robed assassins were not afraid at all.

"Kill!"

The leader waved his hand, and more than a dozen assassins rushed directly towards the guest elders and Lu Wushuang of the palace.

Seeing that these assassins dared to attack, Xiahou Wei shouted angrily: "Looking for death!"

While shouting, the whole person jumped up from the horse's back, and the water and fire soul-stealing spear in his hand swept out.

Puff...

The long spear was like a dragon, instantly piercing the chests of the two assassins, and blood gushed out.

Xiahou Wei waved his hand, and the two assassins were instantly picked up by the spear tip and exploded into blood mist in the air.

At this moment, hundreds of temporary guards also sacrificed their magic weapons and began to besiege these assassins.

Lu Fan did not take action, but stood on the shaft of the carriage and watched calmly.

Of course, his eyes were always on his cheap cousin, Princess Wushuang.

In less than a moment, more than a dozen black-robed assassins were all killed, leaving no one alive.

Lu Fan jumped down from the shaft of the cart, and under the escort of Qin Qiong and eight Xuanwu guards, he came to the pale-faced Princess Wushuang.

Before Lu Fan could speak, the white-haired old man knelt on one knee and said, "Wu Wei pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Oh, you know me!"

Wu Wei shook his head and explained with a fist: "I don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I know the Xuanwu Guards, and His Royal Highness's decree of enthronement has spread throughout Daqian, so..."

"You have some vision, get up!" Lu Fan nodded without comment.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Wu Wei stood up after thanking him, and at the same time took out a golden jade card from his arms and handed it to Lu Fan with both hands.

"Your Royal Highness, this is a token from the Pingxi Palace, please take a look!"

Lu Fan took the golden jade card and checked it, and confirmed that it was the identity jade card of the Pingxi Palace.

After handing the jade card to Wu Wei, Lu Fan looked at Lu Wushuang, whose pretty face was pale.

"Then you are my cousin, Princess Wushuang!"

"Wushuang thanks my brother for saving my life!" Lu Wushuang bowed, with a look of panic and fear on her face.

Looking at the cheap cousin in front of him, Lu Fan smiled on the surface, but sneered in his heart.

"There is really no simple person in the royal family!"

He had been observing this cheap cousin since he came out of the carriage.

She looked very scared on the surface, but in fact she was very calm, and her fear and panic were all pretended.

Especially when she came to him just now.

He clearly saw a trace of disdain, ridicule and disgust in the eyes of this cheap cousin.

Although these micro-expressions were fleeting, they could not be hidden from his eyes.

Of course, the more important thing is the cultivation of this cheap cousin.

Her real cultivation is obviously the first level of Condensation Realm, but the cultivation revealed is only the first level of Refining Qi Realm, hiding a whole realm.

Moreover, the method by which my cheap cousin concealed her cultivation was not simple, and it was obvious that she had deceived everyone.

If he didn't have a system, he probably wouldn't be able to see through his true cultivation.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome!" Lu Fan smiled and shook his head without changing his expression, and then asked:

"Does the Imperial Sister know the identity and origin of these killers? Besides, the Imperial Sister is not staying in the Western Territory, so what are you doing here?"

While asking, Lu Fan observed the changes in his cheap cousin's expression.

"I don't know who they are... We originally planned to go to the imperial capital.

However, he was attacked and chased by these killers on the road, and then he escaped all the way here. All the guards arranged by his father were killed.

If I hadn't met the Emperor's brother here, I'm afraid...I'm afraid things would have been much worse. "

At this point, Lu Wushuang's eyes turned red and he burst into tears, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This acting skill is really amazing. In his previous life, he would have been a proper actor."

He complained and sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be angry and said bitterly:

"These damn traitors are so hateful... Princess, don't worry.

The emperor's brother asked these eight Xuanwu guards to personally escort you back to the imperial capital. With them here, there will be no problem with your safety. "

As he spoke, he pretended to turn around and give orders to the eight Xuanwu Guards, but he kept paying attention to the change in his cheap cousin's expression from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, when he said these words, a trace of astonishment and eagerness flashed in the cheap cousin's eyes.

The next moment, the cheap cousin began to cry out loudly...
