Chapter 45
readx; The assassin came faster than expected, Yan Xiruo leaned against the window of the room, looking at the darkness outside, and the faint sound of weapons clashing occasionally, it seemed that everyone liked to kill people in the dead of night, quietly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Those who suddenly poured into the imperial capital were indeed assassins as Yan Xiruo said, and they came straight to the Mowang Mansion with a clear goal.
The sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and there seemed to be a smell of blood in the air, but it disappeared in an instant.
The shadows hidden in the palace seemed to be even more powerful than she thought, and from the time the assassin was found to the end, it didn't even take a stick of incense.
Yan Xiruo looked back at Xuanyuan Mo, who was sleeping on the bed, it had been more than half a year since she married this man like a child, but she had never really understood him, even if she thought she knew his past, but now it seems that she doesn't know that way.
She only thought that Xuanyuan Mo was once a powerful young general, a hellish ghost who terrified the enemy, but she never knew that this man actually had such a skill and trained such a terrifying shadow.
If it is really as Steward Chen said, there are 80,000 people in the shadow in Xuanyuan Mo's hands alone, what a terrible combat power it should be, and it is no wonder that even his father will be jealous of himself, such a dangerous person, if he has the heart of rebellion one day, then the world will really change color, no wonder, even if he is stupid now, there are people who will not hesitate to kill him, this man seems to have really recovered his memory one day, I am afraid that it will be even more terrifying.
But Yan Xiruo was even more curious, this shadow seemed to be unknown to Emperor Xuanyuan, otherwise how could he agree to keep them and raise tigers.
Whether this man is or was, he seems to be a mystery, so she can't guess, obviously has a childlike mind, but it always makes Yan Xiruo have an illusion that this man seems to be hiding something.
Sighing softly, closing the window, Yan Xiruo slowly paced to the side of the bed, lying beside him, Xuanyuan Mo beside him seemed to feel her body temperature, she had just lay down, and the man's arms surrounded her, and he wrapped her in his arms in a most ambiguous posture, letting her head rest on his chest, listening to his steady breathing, he couldn't even push it away.
Yan Xiruo hooked his lips slightly, smiled a little helplessly, even if he didn't remember anything, but he didn't forget the domineering in his bones, raised his head slightly from his arms, looked at the handsome face close at hand, Yan Xiruo muttered in a low voice: "Xuanyuan Mo, what kind of person are you, why are you so uneasy even if you don't remember anything." ”
But even so, if Yan Xi knows that he can't let him go anymore, not only because he is his wife, but also because this person allows him to be himself again, so that even if he is confused, he can find his way.
Habitually rubbing against his chest, he found a comfortable way to close his eyes.
"Xuanyuan Mo, don't worry, I will protect you."
Those were her last words before she fell asleep, even though she knew that the shadows would not hurt him, but he was her husband, and it was only natural to protect him.
Listening to Yan Xiruo's steady breathing in a dream, the man who hugged her opened his beautiful eyes, looked down at her quiet face, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a doting smile, and even the eyes were full of tenderness.
Gently left a feather kiss on her forehead: "As long as you are by my side, I am very relieved." ”
Early the next morning, Yan Xiruo accompanied Xuanyuan Mo to have breakfast just after dinner, and Steward Chen came with a person.
"My subordinates have seen the princess."
When Steward Chen arrived at the flower hall, Yan Xiruo was playing a game of guessing the size with Xuanyuan Mo, and when he heard Steward Chen's voice, Yan Xiruo just raised the corner of his eyes lazily, and then played with Xuanyuan Mo.
Steward Chen was not annoyed by the princess's attitude, after all, it was the master, and since Yan Xiruo pointed out his identity, he no longer called him a minion, but used his subordinates: "Princess, my subordinates have brought Commander Qin over, about the assassin last night, Commander Qin has a situation to report." ”
Hearing an unfamiliar name, Yan Xiruo raised his head at this time, and saw at a glance the man standing behind Steward Chen, who was about the same age as Xuanyuan Mo, but with a tense face, pretending to be as old as Steward Chen, it was really a waste of that handsome appearance.
"Subordinate Qin Feng, I have seen the princess." Qin Feng saw that Yan Xiruo raised his head and looked at himself, took a step forward, and bowed, although he only glanced at the princess just now, he only needed to know at a glance that their princess was very different, there was no extra emotion in those eyes, as if there were two people who had just accompanied the princess.
"What does he do?" Yan Xiruo raised his chin and asked Steward Chen on the side.
Steward Chen glanced at Xuanyuan Mo beside Yan Xiruo without a trace, and then said, "Commander Qin is one of the four major commanders of the Shadow, mainly responsible for the security of the palace. ”
"Oh." With a cold and indifferent sound, there was no more, for Steward Chen to bring Qin Feng to her, Yan Xiruo did not show much surprise on the surface, but his heart was not as calm as the surface, Steward Chen was willing to bring the leader of the shadow to himself, that can only mean one thing, from today on, she, Yan Xiruo will really intervene in this palace, if Yan Xiruo only managed the daily life of the palace before, then from this politeness, Yan Xiruo still has to manage the group of shadows, and truly integrate into Xuanyuan Mo's life.
"Tell me about last night's Assassins." Yan Xiruo straightened up and pulled Xuanyuan Mo by his side, he was the master of the shadows, and there was nothing to avoid.
Qin Feng straightened up and said slowly about the situation of last night's review: "Last night, there were a total of thirty-four people who attacked the palace, thirty people were killed on the spot, and the remaining four people were all arrested. As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Xiruo, and saw that she was listening to him very seriously with her head in one hand, and continued: "My subordinates learned from those four people that they are all from different organizations. ”
"Different organizations?" Yan Xiruo looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Who are they and where do they come from?" ”
"One of them is from Ninglang, claiming to be avenging the destruction of the country; There is also a killer organization called Xing Yuege from the rivers and lakes, and as for the other two people, their subordinates have not been able to judge anything useful, so they committed suicide. Speaking of the two people who committed suicide, Qin Feng himself felt ashamed, as the leader of the Shadows, he actually let people commit suicide under their noses.
"Suicide?" Yan Xiruo raised her eyebrows, but she didn't care much, anyway, this time they could commit suicide, and there was a next time, she didn't believe that this time that group of people could learn to be obedient: "You just said that there is an assassin from Ning Lang, who assassinated the prince to avenge the destruction of the country?" ”
Although Qin Feng didn't know why the princess asked about this Ning Lang assassin, as a subordinate, he still nodded affirmatively.
Yan Xiruo glanced at Xuanyuan Mo next to him, and saw that he was blinking and looking at himself, so obedient that he didn't make any noise to let him play with him, his well-behaved appearance made Yan Xiruo couldn't help but smooth his long hair, and he didn't notice that the expressions of the two people in front of him had completely changed, if Yan Xiruo turned around at this moment, he would definitely be frightened by Steward Chen and Qin Feng's frightened expressions at the moment.
"Even if Ning Lang's people want to take revenge, shouldn't they go to the current emperor, it was the current emperor who destroyed their country back then, why is the emperor still alive, and he wants his son to repay his debts, even if the father and son repay the debts, the emperor is such a son, why is he looking for the prince of my family, I am really a good bully." Yan Xiruo's expression when he said this was very calm, but it inexplicably made the people present feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Feng and Steward Chen glanced at each other, and saw a happy expression in each other's eyes, fortunately, the person in front of them who made them feel cold was their princess, although it was a little embarrassing to be shocked by a woman, but it was certain that this princess was different, and she had the capital to convince people.
Is this what the Phantom Girl was born with?
"Commander Qin." Yan Xiruo looked at Qin Feng, the corners of his mouth were lightly hooked, it seemed to be warm, but it was cold: "Take good care of that Ning Lang's friend for this concubine, I want to know everything, as for the other person, ......." The corners of his mouth rose, and his expression was very pleasant: "Cut off my hands and feet, cut off my tongue, gouge out my eyes, and then send me back to Xingyue Pavilion alive." ”
Dare to make a momentum under her nose, do they really think she has a good temper, in her previous life, she dared to have blood on her hands, how could people bully her in this life.
Qin Feng felt that cool air spreading from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, how could he not have found out before, it turned out that their princess was so terrifying, if he knew, he would definitely persuade Steward Chen to explain their identities earlier, this is obviously more torturous than them.
Cutting off hands and feet, cutting out tongues, gouging out eyeballs, and sending people back to Xing Yue Pavilion alive is obviously a warning to Xing Yue Pavilion.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." No matter how much he stayed, Qin Feng turned around and disappeared.
Yan Xiruo turned his head and found that Steward Chen was still standing in place and did not leave, raising his eyebrows: "Steward Chen still has something?" ”
"Aang, yes." Steward Chen was obviously also frightened by Yan Xiruo, but as a person who had been with Xuanyuan Mo from birth to death, he quickly came back to his senses and arched his hands forward: "There was news in the palace just in the morning, the border is about to fight, and the emperor specially ordered the third prince to lead 500,000 horses to the border to support General Yan, set off next month, and ......." Steward Chen did not continue, but raised his eyes to observe Yan Xiruo's expression.
Yan Xiruo looked at him and didn't understand what he was doing: "What, what are you saying." "Do you have to guess the second half of a sentence yourself?
"And the emperor decreed that the fourth lady of Yanfu, Yan Zixi, would marry the three princes and marry them one day."
"I ordered my fourth sister to marry Xuanyuan Hao, and choose a day to get married?" Yan Xiruo smiled, this is interesting, her fifth sister has just passed away for less than a month, since the emperor here has decreed that the sister of the former third princess will be married to his brother-in-law, I really don't know, is the emperor old and confused?
"That's what my subordinates got the news." Steward Chen also felt that it was unimaginable that the third imperial concubine had just died, so he was in a hurry to recruit a new imperial concubine for the third prince, and she was still a sister, so it was a little unbelievable to think about it.
"I see, you go down first." Yan Xiruo waved his hand, sent Steward Chen away, leaned back in the chair, and turned his head to see Xuanyuan Mo quietly playing with his fingers on the side.
Smiled and took his hand: "Let's go play, Xianggong." ”
How could Yan Xi not guess the meaning of the emperor's will, even if he was once a good brother in life and death, once he became the emperor, he would be suspicious, not to mention, the Yan family could have been regarded as a high meritorious, even if the emperor was a brother in the Yan family, it was impossible to have no scruples, not to mention, the daughter of the Yan family had just died, and now the emperor decreed that he just wanted to contain the Yan family, of course, there may be someone who went to the emperor's ear and said something not necessarily.
It's just that Yan Xi didn't expect that the Yan family didn't raise any objections, her three uncles accepted it like this, I believe it's right, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention the marriage, the three uncles are so heartfelt, even if they have thousands of unwillingness in their hearts, they won't say it, who let it be the king they are loyal to.
Speaking of which, Yan Xiruo found that she didn't seem to have seen her second brother who was a colt since she came back.
