Chapter 025: Assassination
Lunch was quickly arranged, and Chu Wenyu and Li Qianxun both sat at the table, quietly waiting for the rest of the people.
When everyone arrived one after another, Li Qianxun spoke: "Since everyone has arrived, let's eat first!" ”
Concubine Wu and Concubine Ya glanced at each other for some reason, Pei Yueming still smiled lightly, while Ying Zichu frowned and glanced at Li Qianxun, and then sat down first like a leader. The others sat down as well.
Ying Zichu just wanted to move, but when he saw the vermilion chopsticks, the movements in his hands stopped, and his face instantly turned black and cold, which made everyone a little confused, so they all looked at him, but the movements in the hands of Li Qianxun and Chu Wenyu did not stop.
The eunuch who had no sense of existence standing behind him, like a roundworm in his stomach, handed a pair of chopsticks made of high-grade mutton fat jade with a pure white handkerchief a few steps forward, and the jade bowl, Ying Zichu began to eat.
Everyone was stunned. Especially Concubine Wu, she looked at Ying Zichu with her mouth wide and looked at a monster, and said, "Concubine Lan, why are you picky about these things like a girl...... Hmmm......"
Before Concubine Wu finished speaking, her mouth was suddenly gagged by the chicken nuggets thrown by Ying Zichu. If it weren't for Concubine Wu's quick reaction, I'm afraid she would have choked. Concubine Wu chewed the chicken nuggets in her mouth indifferently, and felt that the taste was still good, so she finished eating the chicken nuggets with a chirp, and everyone who watched it was another meal, Ying Zichu's body stiffened, and he was hesitating whether to change to another pair of chopsticks.
Concubine Wu felt a little embarrassed at this time, and her face was slightly hot: "Our people will never waste food." ”
Li Qianxun thought about it, Sara is a small tribe, and the place where it is located is very poor, the grain harvest is naturally not much better, and the economic lifeline is in some business travelers, so the food is naturally not so rich.
"Hurry up and eat! The dish is going to be cold. Li Qianxun spoke, and everyone began to move their chopsticks.
Concubine Wu looked like an active person, and without saying a word, she began to sweep the food on the table regardless of her manners, and everyone only felt that it was the most suitable to describe it as miserable. But Ying Zichu frowned, there seemed to be displeasure on his face, but he still held the dishes unhurriedly, but the dishes that were touched by Concubine Wu were not touched by no one moved the chopsticks.
While eating, a palace maid came up with a plate, bowed her head respectfully so that people could not see her appearance clearly, she walked to Li Qianxun's side and said, "Your Majesty, this is the last dish, green and high-spirited." ”
Father-in-law Su is an old man in the palace, he has served for so long, and it is the first time he has seen the food so slowly, and Li Qianxun also felt a little strange in his heart.
Just when the palace maid was about to serve the plate, Gonggong Su immediately thought of something and shouted at Li Qianxun: "Your Majesty, get out of the way!" ”
In the sword light, I saw the palace maid throw down the plate, take out a dagger from her sleeve, and her voice was no longer calm: "Dog Emperor!" You slaughtered my Li family, and today I will let you pay for your blood debts! ”
The palace maid stabbed Li Qianxun with a dagger, and Li Qianxun had already secretly sensed that something was wrong and narrowly avoided the blow. At this time, Father-in-law Su's fat and bloated body stood in front of Li Qianxun, and the woman was also a good player, obviously not wanting to hurt the innocent, so she kicked Father-in-law Su to the side, and continued to attack Li Qianxun A few steps back, looking flustered, but in fact steady and orderly......
In terms of melee attacks, no one dares to call Li Qianxun the second one. But......
Out of the corner of Li Qianxun's eyes, he glanced at the people who were eating, except for Pei Yueming, Concubine Wu and Concubine Ya, who had already stood up, the rest were sitting in place peacefully, and something flashed in Li Qianxun's heart.
Pei Yueming is from her side, and when he stands up, it shows that he is really loyal to this country, Concubine Wu and Concubine Ya are the people who take refuge in her, if she dies, their tribe will not be protected, and for them, she naturally can't do anything. Chu Wenyu had already made his position clear sitting there, so ...... What about Ying Zichu?
Ying Zichu is the eldest son of Marquis Ying Yuan, although he is not hostile, he will not watch her be assassinated.
Li Qianxun thought of a possibility, they were assessing their own strength.
Although she is a leader in melee combat, she does not have the so-called internal strength in ancient times, so it is a matter of time before she loses, even if she has thousands of ways to make the woman in front of her die, but she doesn't want to reflect her strength too early.
Once her strength is revealed, the four countries will begin to be jealous of the Li country, which is equivalent to giving the Li country a life talisman. Thinking of this, Li Qianxun understood. She's going to show weakness.
Time has only passed, and after Li Qianxun has put things in order with two minds, he has made a few weaker moves without a trace. Seeing that the woman's dagger was about to slash at Li Qianxun's throat, there was a commotion outside the Chaoyuan Palace.
"Someone! There are assassins! Escort! Escort! ”
The female assassin's eyes flashed with incredulity, and she smiled mockingly, but the movements of her hands were much faster. Li Qianxun only felt that the voice seemed to be a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember whose voice it was.
In the middle of breathing, Nie Chen rushed in with a group of Imperial Forest Army, his face full of anxiety: "Don't wait for the escort quickly!" ”
The Imperial Forest Army surrounded the woman in an instant, and Nie Chen ran to Li Qianxun's side, climbed Li Qianxun's shoulders with both hands, and said anxiously: "Cousin, are you okay?" Did it hurt anything? ”
Li Qianxun looked at him steadily, as if the assassin was not her, and said lightly; "I'm fine, why are you here?"
Nie Chen's eyes showed too much concern, and it didn't look like a fake.
Although the woman was strong in martial arts, she could not withstand the skills of a group of specially trained guards, and she was arrested in a few moments, and she wanted to curse, but she was gagged by the quick-eyed guards with a piece of cloth, so as not to disturb the ears of the nobles.
Nie Chen let go of his hand, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he saluted respectfully, and said to Li Qianxun: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being rude, return to Your Majesty, Weichen wanted to discuss important matters with Your Majesty in the next court, but I didn't think that Your Majesty was in a hurry, Weichen followed, according to the eunuch who followed, His Majesty was in Yuhua Palace, Weichen wanted to go to Chaoyuan Hall first, and waited, I never thought that Chaoyuan Hall was mixed in by gangsters, and His Majesty was almost assassinated." ”
Nie Chen bowed his head respectfully when he spoke, Li Qianxun couldn't look at his face, and Nie Chen also explained the order of the matter very clearly, it didn't look like he was lying, so Li Qianxun didn't care.
"Bring me the Assassins."
