Chapter 7 The Dangerous Journey
Before the assassin could react to this sudden change of move, the soft whip in Toya's hand was already wrapped around the bare feet of the opponent, and the assassin was stunned and tried to get rid of it, but was pulled by Toya and fell to the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Toya pulled out a delicate gem-encrusted dagger from her boot and held it against the assassin's throat, "Who wants my life?" ”
The assassin's gaze was sharp, and he lost color in an instant, and Toya hurriedly ripped off the other party's face towel, but it was too late, the assassin had already bitten the pill in his mouth.
"It's a dead man." Toya stood up and looked at the corpse on the ground, her eyes were a little gloomy, she just wanted to see him often, but she never thought that someone didn't want her to come.
From the woods came the sound of horses' hooves, and Toya could hear that it was General Lian who had turned back, and when she looked down, she saw something in the assassin's arms at her feet, and shook her eyes.
Leaning over to take it out, it was a small token, Toya hurriedly hid it in her sleeve, put on the assassin's scarf again, and flew into the car, like a nine-day Xuannu, and the curtain fell again, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, General Lian's mount had already come to the front of the car, without a word of inquiry, he boldly opened Toya's car curtain, and looked at each other, Toya clearly understood the incomprehension in General Lian's eyes, and his eyes were condensed with coldness, "The subordinates are presumptuous, the subordinates are just worried about the safety of the princess, please forgive the princess." ”
"General Lian has a meritorious service in protecting the palace, how can he take the liberty to say that the killing here is too heavy, and the palace has palpitations, so please let the general set off quickly."
"Departure"
Through the curtain of the car, Toya's eyes were still secretly watching General Lian's actions, he sat on horseback, his eyebrows were a little twisted, his face was not good-looking, and he occasionally looked back at the dead bodies, as if he was looking for something.
Toya took out the small token from her sleeve, it turned out to be gold, and the person who can do this step is probably a person with a noble identity, on the back of the token, there is a word "Xiang", Toya said secretly, it seems that this assassin is not without a trace.
Although Toya was wary of General Lian's behavior, there was no evidence after all, and it was not a good deed to comment on it, and this matter still needs to be slowly verified.
Toya had already explained to her maids, and did not let them tell General Lian and others about the subsequent attack, but said that nothing happened.
The martial arts of the poisoned assassin are already good, and if you let those who have a heart know that she knows martial arts, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future.
In the days that followed, Toya was also extra careful in her diet, usually secretly tried it with silver jewelry before taking it, and there were really two attempts to poison, but Toya did not say anything, only pretending that nothing had happened.
She carefully observed General Lian, but she didn't observe that he had the previous different color in these two times, which made Toya a little surprised, and her heart was even more suspicious.
It stands to reason that this general should be the person sent by the Qinglong Emperor Chu Tianlei, but Chu Tianlei has no reason to kill her, she is the princess of the Northern Underworld and the pearl of her father Khan, if she dies in the Qingxuan Kingdom, it will not be of any benefit to Qingxuan, but since it is not Chu Tianlei, who will it be?
Perhaps, as long as you know the owner of this token, all the mystery will be revealed.
For a whole month, sitting in the rickety carriage, through the curtain, a towering castle gradually came into view, and the capital of Qingxuan Kingdom - Zhaoye.
As the overlord of the Central Plains, their capital is truly extraordinary, with towering restaurants, neat shops, shuttle business travelers, and elegantly decorated horses and chariots.
The two maids beside Toya were already dizzying at this time, and for them, everything was so new.
Toya was placed in a post house in the city, and when she arrived here, Toya understood why General Lian would say that it was a simple post house before, and the luxury was far beyond what she used in the Snow Cold Palace.
Compared with the utensils they usually use, the Central Plains can be described as very exquisite, the carvings on it are delicate and delicate, vivid, Toya plays with it in her hands, and she can't put it down.
No wonder the people of the Central Plains have always regarded them as an uncivilized people, just for the use of post houses, but what about the royal ones?
As soon as it was sent to Zhaoye, even the general retired, and another group of guards were replaced in the post house, and there were more female dependents around him.
"Princess Anning, the emperor sent a eunuch to inform you that you will enter the palace tomorrow to meet you, and you will have a good rest today to relieve the fatigue of the journey."
The next day, I freshened up and dressed up, and found a few delicate pieces of jewelry among the wedding items and decorated them carefully.
"The princess doesn't bring these things with her on weekdays, how can she think of using them today?" The maid who accompanied the marriage, Urina, carefully wore it for Toya.
Tuoya smiled at the corner of her mouth, but there was a trace of helplessness in her eyes, after all, she was the princess of the Northern Underworld, even if she didn't like it, she couldn't make people feel shabby after all.
Led into the Showa Hall, on the throne of the carved dragon, sat a majestic middle-aged man, wearing a golden dragon robe, broad shoulders, lined with a face as resolute as a rock, and his eyebrows were full of majesty, this is the Qinglong Emperor Chu Tianlei who once frightened many enemy countries.
As far as Toya looked, a tall figure in a navy blue python robe came into view, with beautiful eyes like stars gathering, with calm and calm, looking at Toya who was walking slowly from outside the Showa Palace.
At this moment, Toya's originally calm heart made waves again, her cheeks began to burn, and her breathing became rapid. Father Khan was right, he could only be seen when he came to this strange country.
"Tranquility to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"Excuse me."
"Your Majesty."
"Princess An Ning has traveled a long way, and the journey is hard, and I have already chosen an auspicious day, which is set for the twenty-eighth of the next month."
"There is the trouble of the emperor, and he is peaceful but listens to the arrangement." Tuoya knew that it was a discordant thing to see the king of a country wearing a veil, but the Qinglong Emperor did not ask, he must have heard Chu Yichen talk about it.
After a few formal greetings, the Qinglong Emperor ordered his subordinates to send Toya back to the post house, although he did not dare to face Chu Yichen in the Showa Palace, he was already very satisfied in Toya's heart.
According to common sense, the emperor should conduct a formal summons with the presence of the minister of civil and military affairs, but there is only one person in the entire hall, the palace maid and eunuch and Chu Yichen who serve with him, and he treats a princess who is married from afar, today's etiquette is too light, Tuoya smiled bitterly, it must be because of her face, it is really not suitable to see people, but I am afraid of losing the face of the royal family.
She didn't have anything to worry about about these, but she didn't know if in Chu Yichen's heart, like his father Qinglong Emperor, regarded her as a faceless existence.
Sitting by the window, the sun is very good outside the window, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, those who don't need a veil are so beautiful when they laugh!
