Chapter 149: Assassination
The originally quiet garden was splashed with blood for a while.
The maids in the garden screamed and hid in all directions, while the timid ones collapsed to the ground, shivering.
Hua Yue pulled out her blade and swept the sword light and sword shadow in front of Li Jiande, and Sen Han's sword aura swept towards the assassin like a violent wind, forcing those people to retreat.
The accompanying guards also came to their senses, and immediately drew their swords to protect Li Jiande impenetrable.
After a few moves, these guards were all shocked, these people who carried out the assassination were all middle and high masters, and they could calmly advance and retreat under the siege of more than a dozen excellent imperial guards, the cold light flashed, and there was always blood splashed.
The situation is very bad.
The sword in Hua Yue's hand turned into thousands of shadows, her posture stretched, as if she was swaying at will or on purpose, and her clothes flew in the wind, which suddenly made a few maids next to her who were so frightened that they forgot to run away were dazzled.
Ling Yi in front had found a gap and pulled out his knife, and the person followed the knife in, and the sword light pressed towards the assassin like a tidal wave.
The enemy never thought that Hua Yue, who seemed to be weak, would have such profound swordsmanship, but he was unexpected, and he was a little hurried for a while.
In a matter of moments, three of the Assassins had fallen to the ground and died.
But Emperor Qi's guards suffered even more casualties, and seven or eight individuals were killed on the spot.
Moreover, the Assassins were well-trained, and quickly stabilized their minds, turning a blind eye to the death of their companions, without blinking an eye.
One of the assassins was particularly strong in martial arts, and seeing that the secret guards outside also heard the news, he didn't delay any longer, and when the people below were entangled with Hua Yue and Zhong Lang, he was injured and flashed into the sword and sword shadow, and went straight to Li Jiande with the surging energy.
And none of those guards dared to take its edge directly, and involuntarily dodged it.
The Assassins were overjoyed.
Ling Yi was furious, and with a hard slash and sweep, he forced the besieging two people back and flew back to help.
And Hua Yue, who was closer to Li Jiande, had already danced sword flowers, slashed the few people who were blocking him under the sword, and stabbed the person in the back.
At this moment, that person had already slashed the last person in front of Li Jiande to the ground, and the sharp blade stabbed him with lightning speed!
Many of the subordinates watching the battle next to him were so frightened that their feet weakened and knelt on the ground.
If the saint is assassinated in the Taishou Mansion, none of the hundreds of family members in the mansion will be spared! Seeing that Hua Yue and Zhong Lang were too late to save each other, many people closed their eyes in despair.
Hua Yue pierced the man's back with a sword, but it was too late, and everyone watched as the man's sharp blade pierced through the throat of the saint, and blood splattered.
In everyone's minds, only Emperor Qi's eyes were round, and his face was incredibly shocked. Imperial Doctor Song arrived and rushed forward to rescue the person, but was extremely frightened to find that it had only been half a while, and he could not find Emperor Qi's pulse.
The assassin laughed profusely, knowing that he could not escape, and was about to kill himself by the neck, but Zhong Lang swung his sword and swept the sword in his hand to the ground.
Several guards rushed up and knocked him down, expertly removing his jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue and killing himself.
In a short time, all the Assassins had been captured or ambushed. But everyone's hearts were as heavy as a boulder.
Everyone was desperate in their hearts, but they saw Ling Yi and Hua Yue suddenly turn around and salute respectfully: "See Your Majesty!" ”
I saw a person walking under the protection of the guards, judging by his appearance and demeanor, who is the saint today? At this moment, everyone couldn't come back to their senses, but they didn't dare to look at it more, so they knelt down on the ground and shouted goodbye, and their hearts had already set off a storm.
Could it be that one is fake?!
Qi Emperor Li Jiande said indifferently: "No courtesy." ”
Ling Yi, Hua Yue, Yang Taishou and a few imperial guards did not get up, bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, and the maids and subordinates next to them did not dare to move.
The Assassin was escorted up by the guards.
Glancing at the assassin, looking at the corpses strewn on the ground and the bloodstains on the snow, Li Jiande made no secret of the monstrous anger on his face.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Get up, hurry up and clean up here!" ”
As if they had been granted amnesty, they got up and quickly carried the body away under the command of the guards. Many people involuntarily secretly looked at the corpse that had been pierced through the throat, and they were drenched in cold sweat. Others began to clean up the blood from the ground, and after a few moments they were clean up.
Only the disgusting smell of blood remained in the cold wind, reminding me of what had just happened.
When Li Jiande calculated that Hua Yue would be unfavorable to him on this trip, he just took strict precautions, but Ling Yi and Hua Yue insisted that he find a stand-in to ensure that nothing went wrong and at the same time lured out the assassin. They guarded the inner chamber tightly, except for a small oversight when they went out for a walk.
I didn't expect such a slight flaw for the assassin to really get in!
Those secret guards didn't know that someone would assassinate them before, let alone know about the stand-in, and they couldn't find and stop it, so wouldn't he, the son of heaven, be hanging in the hands of others at any time?! If it weren't for Hua Yue's premonition this time, I was afraid that he would be like that stand-in.
Thinking of this, Li Jiande looked at the already dead stand-in, glanced at the Dark Guard Commander, and his gaze coldly fell on the assassin who had stopped the bleeding. He wanted to see who wanted his life!
Yang Taishou cautiously walked out of the crowd and said, "It's windy outside, please move the saint to the main hall." ”
The guards were still carefully checking around, and the maids were cleaning up the flowers and grass leaves that had been cut off by the fight on the ground, and cleaning up the damaged flowers and trees, and there was indeed some chaos in the garden.
Although Li Jiande was angry in his heart, he was a little suspenseful since Hua Yue predicted that there might be an accident on this trip, and now that there was no danger, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately his face eased a little and nodded.
At this time, Zhong Lang, who was accompanying him, saw that Hua Yue and Ling Yi were safe and sound, and he was also relieved. The next group walked through the garden back to the house.
After only a few steps, the mutation is steep!
After Li Jiande passed by, an inconspicuous little maid in the back suddenly burst out and pounced on him with a short dagger while no one was noticed!
At this time, Ling Yi and Zhong Lang and others were discussing the future guards and interrogating the assassins, Hua Yue was the closest, but it was also a few steps away, and the guards next to him didn't react for some reason, seeing the blade falling, they said that it was too late and that it was too fast, and when Hua Yue threw out a branch and hit the short dagger, a person rushed out next to him!
The man pushed Li Jiande to stagger a few steps, avoiding the cold and shining blade, but he was stabbed.
Ling Yi and Zhong Lang had already turned around to rescue each other, and as soon as they pounced, they witnessed this scene, and when they saw the person clearly, they were surprised in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
At this moment, behind the green evergreen tree, another frightened person came out. (To be continued.) )
