Chapter 33: The Assassins
Ling Caiwei stood up in the midst of everyone's screams, stretched out her arms, and cried out in surprise: "Ding Ding Dong, why are you here?" The ferret jumped on her arm in joy, and she caught it steadily, rubbing her face against its furry body. The white ferret was lying in Ling Caiwei's arms, dancing and laughing, and the four little black paws were as if they were wearing boots.
The joy of reunion after a long absence made Ling Caiwei forget the chaos caused by this little animal in the main hall for a while.
King Huai rushed to them, and watched the ferret frolicking with the princess affectionately, his eyes were full of jealousy: "Princess, this ferret belongs to the king." He reached for it.
The ferret rolled its pink round eyes, looked at King Huai and looked up at Ling Caiwei, and then plunged into Ling Caiwei's arms without hesitation, only poking out its snow-white little head and looking at King Huai sadly. It seems that King Huai is a bad person, specially to create a life and death separation between him and his master.
Ling Caiwei looked at King Huai's outstretched hand vigilantly, and hugged the ferret even tighter: "The ferret will recognize the Lord spiritually, and King Huai said that it is yours, then you try to call it back." Ling Caiwei patted its little head soothingly, and said to the ferret gently: "Ding Ding Dang, it's up to you to do the following." It's up to you to decide whether to choose a sister or a Huaiwang. She let the ferret down and sat side by side with King Huai in front of it.
"What kind of animal is that?" Nanhou looked through the gap in the protective circle and saw a white-haired cat-like animal with two hind legs on the ground, raised two little black paws and made a gesture at King Huai, and quickly jumped into Ling Caiwei's arms, and everyone was amazed.
"Back to the queen, it was a ferret, I heard that King Huai bought it from a butcher a few days ago. At that time, the butcher was going to slaughter it and skin it on the street, and the little animal screamed at the passing King Huai, who looked cute and brought it back to the house. Hey, I don't know what's going on today, this animal seems to know the crown princess?" Du Fu was curious, seeing that little animal was really cute and coquettish, even people like him who don't like animals inevitably looked at it twice.
Nanhou coldly glared at Ling Caiwei, who was talking to King Huai, and waved her hand: "What kind of monster should I be, let's disperse, don't get in the way of the palace." ”
Du Fu and the palace maid immediately stood on both sides and performed their duties.
King Huai lowered his hand and looked at the ferret in Ling Caiwei's arms reluctantly: "It turns out that it is called Ding Ding Dong, don't let it wander outside next time, be careful to be caught and skinned again." ”
Ling Caiwei was grateful, hugged the ferret's front paws and said, "Ding Ding Dong thank King Huai for saving his life, let's go to the mansion to visit King Huai another day, okay?"
King Huai touched Ding Jing's head and returned to his seat with a slumped face.
Princess Huai was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she had been married to King Huai for less than a year. Watching King Huai leave the ferret at the crown princess from afar, his eyes were red.
Ling Caiwei hugged the ferret and walked over to comfort her: "Don't be sad Princess Huai, this little guy's injury is not good, I will take it to the palace to play when I am cured, don't bother us when the time comes." ”
Princess Huai pouted and nodded, and stretched out her hand to pat Ding Dong's head, Ni Xiaonuan hurriedly opened her hand from the side: "Don't touch it, this little thing bites." The ferret seemed to understand that she was saying bad things about it, and stuck her head out of Ling Caiwei's arms, squeezing her teeth at Ni Xiaonuan to intimidate her. Ling Caiwei hurriedly pressed her head into her arms.
"It doesn't bite, I fed it with the prince for more than ten days, and it is very well-behaved. "After all, it is a pet that I have raised, and I am short-sighted with Princess Huai, and I don't allow others to say that the ferret is not. Ding Ding Dong heard someone praise it, and poked out its little fluffy head and "yaw" and winked at Princess Huai.
Ni Xiaonuan held up the bloody wound to show her: "What is it that it doesn't bite? Livestock is livestock." ”
"The county lord should go and take care of the wounds. Ling Caiwei gave Lime a look, and Lime understood, and helped Ni Xiaonuan to go to the back to take medicine. Seeing that she didn't want to go, Ling Caiwei scared her: "Although the saliva of the ferret is non-toxic, it will make the skin ulcerate when it enters the blood of people. ”
Ni Xiaonuan raised her fist at the ferret, turned around and followed Lime and the little palace maid on duty to the apse.
At this time, the female maiko in the main hall had already retreated, and a group of strong male maiko were replaced, performing the dance spirit of the opening scene of the Southern Dynasty. The performers of this dance are all wearing masks and swords, and they are majestic and powerful as soon as they enter.
The deafening sound of war drums echoed in the main hall, stirring people's hearts.
Ling Caiwei stood in front of Princess Huai's case, and the dancers circled around in the hall with their swords, passing by Ling Caiwei one by one.
The ferret was frightened and slipped into Ling Caiwei's sleeve and refused to come out, she turned sideways to avoid the dancing crowd and slowly walked to her seat.
The unexpected came too quickly. A sword suddenly flew out of the maiko and stabbed at Ling Caiwei's back of the heart impartially.
Princess Huai's eyes were always on the ferret, so while everyone else was paying attention to the performance, she saw the impending assassination. Her desperate screams attracted everyone's attention, and at the same time, a black image in the hall struck Ling Caiwei like lightning.
"Be careful. The black shadow rolled to the ground with Ling Caiwei in her arms, put her down and immediately jumped up, and struck a fatal slap at the assassin who continued to kill. Seeing that the assassination had failed, the other Maiko swung their swords and stabbed at Minami Eiyeol. Seeing that the master was surrounded by people, Siliang snatched the knife from the guard's waist with a long roar and rushed over.
Ling Caiwei's arm was cut by the sword, and she was bleeding, and the ferret saw that her master was injured, so she was so anxious that she circled around her and made a "sizzle" sound.
The lively banquet suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, and the ladies fled to the apse in fright, and the princes were caught off guard by the sudden incident, and they didn't see clearly who was surrounded by the assassins. Seeing the situation, King Xian shouted: "There are assassins, protect the queen mother." ”
Under his leadership, the princes rushed to the Dan Fan to block in front of Nanhou, and several young princes were already crying in fright, Du Fu led the palace ladies to bring them all to Nanhou. The guards on duty also rushed in and surrounded the Assassins. However, not a single person did anything, and they stood in the temple as if they had been ordered in advance, their swords in their hands, and they stared at the male maiko in the middle.
Nanhou on the main hall tightly grasped the armrests carved with the dragon head on the dragon chair with his two hands, staring intently at the battle situation in the hall.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, save His Highness quickly. Ling Caiwei shouted for help at Yuan Leyao. Suddenly, in Yuan Leyao's anxious and ruthless eyes, he understood that the mastermind of this assassination was Yuan Leyao after the South.
She anxiously looked for the prince's figure, and it turned out that he was pretending to be disabled.
Nan Ronglie and Siliang fought the enemy back to back from the inside circle, and gradually lost their physical strength.
"There is poison on the sword. Nan Ronglie found that the true qi in his body did not obey the call, and the palm power that was struck out began to be weak. It seems that the old witch has planned all this a long time ago, and wants to kill him.
"Master, you hold on, I'll take you out. ”
"Save the crown princess, leave me alone. ”
