Chapter Seventy-Five: Life and Death Are Unclear

Tuoba Hongzhang had just spoken, and before he could get to the point, he heard a voice coming from outside the hall.

"I've met the emperor of Duannan Kingdom, so I'm sorry to interrupt you." A man in a royal blue tunic sat at the front, he walked forward with his head held high, his angular face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a pair of dark eyes that were deep and bottomless.

Li Changge was only faintly familiar when he heard the voice, and when he saw him, his calm face changed slightly.

She took a soft breath, she didn't expect to meet him here.

I saw that the man's gaze only swept over her lightly, looking directly at the man on the dragon chair, without the slightest fear, "In the lower Yelus, he is the heir of Xishu." Today, I learned the birthday of the emperor of Duannan, and I came to celebrate his birthday. ”

Tuoba Hongzhang still maintained his usual demeanor, and laughed heartily, "Aren't you happy to have friends from afar?" The prince quickly sat down, and the banquet could begin immediately. ”

Jerus bowed his hand as a sign of courtesy, and sat down with the little eunuch to the empty seat.

After such a distraction, many of the words that Tuoba Hongzhang originally wanted to say were all held back in his stomach, and he hastily said a few words and began the process of tribute.

The countries have presented the gifts that have been carefully prepared over the past year, and no one is willing to lag behind others.

Because no matter what, the wool comes out of the sheep, and the Duannan Kingdom will not treat them badly.

Li Changge looked bored, so he lowered his voice and talked to Li Ke about Yelus.

The more they talked, the more fascinated they became, and they didn't notice at all that the tribute gifts from the envoys of various countries had ended, and they had been replaced by a wave of dancing girls to help the fun.

"Changge, I salute you." Tuoba Hongzhang watched the two of them talk with taste, and he still couldn't help but want to interrupt their thoughts.

Li Changge was suddenly aroused, and instantly collected the look on his face, and responded with a wine glass: "Changge is a minister, how can there be a reason for a king to respect a minister?" ”

Looking at her instantly unfamiliar appearance, Tuoba Hongzhang only felt a sour feeling in his heart.

It's been two years, except for when she talks about that person, she will fluctuate a little, and the rest of the time she is the same expressionless.

No one is exempt.

He silently put down the wine glass in his hand, remembering what he had said to him in the afternoon.

Even him, he just found out why Tuoba Truss chose to leave in the first place.

It turned out that it was not because he couldn't afford to lose as rumored by the outside world, but because he was burdened with a deep hatred of blood and found a place to recuperate.

He knew that Tuoba Truss would definitely come back.

But he didn't dare to think about whether Li Changge would really stand on the side of the country's righteousness at that time, and whether he would really be able to support him without hesitation.

Li Changge didn't think much about it, and after putting the wine glass down, he turned to talk to Li Ke about the topic that he hadn't finished discussing.

Her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure around the corner of the palace, dressed in a completely different outfit from the palace people.

The man seemed to make eye contact with her, and then walked away quickly.

The voice stopped abruptly, and her eyes were fixed on the corner, but she didn't make any movement.

Li Ke followed her line of sight, but found nothing.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with your body?"

Li Changge was just about to shake his head, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his wheelchair and went to the front of the hall.

Sure enough, before she could step forward, a figure rushed straight to this side.

In a flash of light, Li Ke immediately understood what had just happened, he quickly threw the wine glass in his hand to Li Changge, and the whole person jumped up.

"Catch the assassin!" I don't know who shouted, but the scene suddenly fell silent and then began to be chaotic.

Li Changge took the cup, found the right strength and went to the assassin's body.

Unexpectedly, the man seemed to know how she would make a move, and easily dodged the blow, and even changed direction and attacked her.

Li Ke stepped forward and blocked his attack in one fell swoop, but he was shocked back a few steps because he didn't have any weapons.

He was a little puzzled, the man in front of him looked like he was only in his early twenties, why his cultivation of martial arts internal strength was so high.

But the reality didn't allow him to think too much, even if it was this one in a trance, the masked man in black had already shot at him.

Li Ke slapped him hard, and the fishy sweet blood gushed up from his mouth, and he spit on the ground in a daze.

Li Changge's eyes were slightly raised, and there was irresistible irritability in his eyes.

But what people didn't expect was that after the man in black made a move on Li Ke, the target instantly turned to her.

But there was no killing intent.

Just pushed her aside and caught her off guard.

The real target of the man in black was Tuoba Hongzhang on the dragon chair, and he just looked around casually, and the guards didn't have time to rush over.

At this time, only Li Changge and Li Ke were really able to do it, but they had been temporarily repulsed and were powerless to fight back for a while.

Tuoba Hongzhang didn't care about the safety of his life, he ran down from the dragon chair and helped Li Changge up, focusing only on her safety.

The man in black didn't speak from beginning to end, and the cold light in his eyes was like a sharp blade about to pierce people, and he went straight to Tuoba Hongzhang.

Without hesitation, he drew a dagger from his waist and rushed in front of him like lightning.

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to slash through Tuoba Hongzhang's neck, Li Changge suddenly broke out, using all his strength to push him away and block in front of him, trying to block this fatal blow for him.

At this time, in her eyes, only the righteousness of the country remained, and there was no thought of male and female love.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't know that she would take this action to save people, so they all held their breath.

Some people have even stopped thinking about it, and they can't imagine what the blood-spattered scene is like.

Unexpectedly, the Assassin suddenly changed his course and slashed through the air with his knife, cutting off only a few locks of hair from her head.

Li Changge only felt the sound of the knife whizzing past his ears, but he didn't hear the dull sound of the knife entering the flesh, nor did he feel the unbearable pain as he imagined.

The man in black looked at her cheeks and jumped to the side.

Suddenly, people in black clothes and masked faces came out of nowhere, and they closely guarded the central figure of Fang Cai, and all this momentum can be said to be those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die.

There are many princes in various countries who have people who practice martial arts, and even if they want to resist, they find that they are powerless.

Even the limbs are a little sore.

This is clearly a symptom of being drugged, but I didn't expect that there would be a force to be able to do this, quietly drugging so many people without noticing.

Tuoba Hongzhang stared for a moment, and shouted sharply, "Take them down for me, and try to catch them alive!" ”

But in this scene, everyone has been drugged, and the guards have not been able to arrive in time, who can take the responsibility of arresting people?

They can only be allowed to slip away under their noses, and they are unscathed.

Li Changge only felt a little suffocated now, she had never hated her leg disease more than now.

This sense of powerlessness that she has more than enough strength makes her whole person shrouded in a kind of sadness, her eyes are blurred, and the whole person falls straight to the ground.

At this point, the palace banquet naturally could not go on, Tuoba Hongzhang ordered people to send them back to the post station to live and recuperate, and invited the imperial doctor to go to diagnose their pulse.

The guards were too late to help, and they knelt on the ground without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, and no one thought of this matter today, which did not mean that they could use this reason to prevaricate the past to cover up their dereliction of duty.

"Why are you moving so slowly today, are you really all going to the holidays?" Tuoba Hongzhang couldn't suppress his anger, and the entire hall could only hear the echo of his angry question.

These sabre guards seemed to everyone to be just simple saber guards, but in fact, they were all elite guards trained by the emperor for him, and they used this identity to hide their true strength.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and dropping the chain at a critical time is no different from a wine bag and a rice bag.

The commander of the guards was speechless for a moment, not knowing where to start.

They are indeed responsible for this, but they cannot be blamed for everything.

In the first half month of the palace banquet, the palace has begun to be under full martial law, and the twelve hours a day are guarded by special personnel in turn.

After the palace banquet began, he took all the secret guards to check the precautions everywhere, and everything was normal, which made people block the palace gate.

If it should be said that there are only two possibilities to find out where these men in black came from.

Either they are extremely familiar with the rules of the palace and have been mixed in half a month or even before they have been preparing for half a month, or they are still hidden in a corner of the palace, tearing off their disguises and turning into ordinary people.

The other party's plan seemed to have no flaws at all, and they couldn't imagine who would have such a great hatred and be able to do such a ruthless thing at such a palace banquet.

Tuoba Hongzhan waved his hand irritably, "Don't say anything to me, give you three days, I just want to hear the result." ”

As soon as the words fell, he got up and walked out of the palace.

Now he has more important things to do, such as dealing with the problems of the envoys of various countries, and what is Li Changge's physical condition.

Naturally, these envoys were not vegetarians.

It was already very tiring to encounter such an assassination when you were away from home, but no one really died because of it.

Even those men in black showed mercy to Li Changge's subordinates, which was obvious to everyone.

This is very reflective from the side.

not only increased everyone's speculation about Li Changge's identity, but also increased dissatisfaction with Tuoba Hongzhang's attitude.
