Just as Yang Biao was talking to Liu Shen, the adjutant Ma Zhichu under Fu Tianliang who reported the news, the housekeeper of Yang Biao's mansion, and a number of guard soldiers dressed as servants of the Yang Mansion, together with me, galloped in the starry night, and rushed to the gate of the palace camp in the Qingliang Mountain enclosure at the fastest speed that my body could bear.

We stopped in front of the camp gate and were cross-examined.

Because the emperor is here, the camp of the Imperial Forest Army is heavily guarded, and the continuous military camp is densely covered with flags, swords and guns are like forests, and war horses are like clouds, surrounding the palace where Liu Shen lives from all directions.

The housekeeper of Yang Biao's house came forward to speak, he took out the waist card of Yang Mansion and Mrs. Yang Biao's greeting letter, proving that his party was from Yang Biao's house, claiming that there was an important change in the family, and on the order of his wife, he came to tell Yang Biao in person, and brought his wife's personal maid to report on behalf of his wife.

Zhou Daiyue's henchmen, nephew Zhou Tingchen, and his immediate boss, the veteran Li Guozhong, were jointly responsible for guarding the camp gate.

Zhou Tingchen and Zhou Daiyue were originally a group, and they knew very well what was happening in Liu Shen's palace, so they were particularly strict in their access control.

After inspecting the waist card of the Yang Mansion and the seal of Mrs. Yang, he still felt that this matter had come a little too coincidentally, and there seemed to be something strange in it, so he felt not very relieved, so he sent soldiers to search the people one by one and check their belongings. There was nothing suspicious about his belongings, except for the family's self-defense weapon. As the soldiers examined each other, he watched the group's reactions. I don't know why, he always felt that the maid of the inner house wearing a loose dress, a hood and a half-veiled veil, the figure and eyebrows were slightly familiar, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt as if he had seen it somewhere. The suspicion in his heart grew stronger. So he walked over to the maid who was standing by the horse.

That maid is actually me.

I watched him come over. I don't know his name, but I do know that he's seen me. From the insignia on his attire, I can already tell that his rank in the army is not low, and he must have seen me many times at the annual festival pilgrimage, royal banquet and other ceremonies. I clenched the little bow under my loose burqa and waited for him to recognize me, wondering what I would do if he recognized me.

Sure enough, he walked close to me, stared at my face, and examined my face carefully.

He said, "Please take off your veil." ”

He said: "Although you are a maid with status in the Yang Mansion, I should respect it, but now that the emperor's palace is inside, the responsibility for safety is not trivial, even if you have the waist card of the Yang Mansion, I also know the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, and the responsibility is in my body, I have to be extra careful and routine." Thank you for your understanding. ”

I looked at him intently. He felt an invisible coercion in my gaze. However, he resisted psychologically.

He looked at me and said, "What? Is there anything wrong with taking off the veil? Need my help? ”

He reached out to take off my veil. I took a step back and tilted my head a little. I reached out and took off the veil myself.

My countenance was unobstructed before his eyes.

Zhou Tingchen looked at me for a while, and then, the expression on his face suddenly changed, his face suddenly turned pale, and then turned red again, and his eyes flashed with a complex light of surprise, fear, shock, and viciousness. His mouth opened slightly, his gaze shifted from my face to my burqa, and he surveyed my figure. He took a few steps back from in front of me.

He was shocked and said, "You, you, you are ......."

He looked around in confusion and shouted at the soldiers, "Don't let them go!" Get them! They are not people from the Yang Mansion, they are ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he only felt a sharp stabbing pain hit his chest, followed by a shockwave, he clutched his chest and screamed, and involuntarily took a few steps back, and sat back in the dust. It wasn't until he sat down on the ground that he reacted, and a small bow appeared in my hand, and I used it to shoot a white feather arrow without an arrow for practice, which hit him directly to the heart with lightning speed.

Before he could fully react from the pain and shock of being shot, he heard me shout loudly: "Bold traitor!!" Now that you know it, you dare not kneel rudely, and speak back! ”

Zhou Tingchen got up from the ground in a daze and annoyed manner, pulled out the stainless steel saber he was carrying, pointed at me and shouted, "Catch her!" She must not be allowed to enter the palace! ”

Again, before his words fell, I felt a sharp pain in my left and right knees, and two white feather arrows flew out of my hands again, hitting the acupuncture points on his knees, he couldn't control his knees, and his knees bent accordingly, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

He screamed hoarsely as he fell to his knees: "Catch her! ”

The third sharp pain slammed through the center of the eyebrows between the foreheads and exploded. He only felt that the nerves in his entire face were instantly on fire and burning. He clutched his eyebrows when he was hit by the practice arrow, screamed, fell to his side, and rolled to the ground.

The soldiers were stunned by what was happening in front of them and did not know how to react for a moment.

As soon as they hesitated, I turned on my horse as fast as I could, and with my bow and arrows, I aimed at the group of soldiers around me. This time, it was no longer a practice arrow on the bowstring, but a real white-feathered arrow with a shiny arrow.

Those who followed me also seized this opportunity, and all of them flew on their horses and unsheathed their blades.

I shouted, "Listen to the soldiers of the Han army! I am the wife of the current emperor, the queen of the middle palace of my dynasty, the biological mother of the crown prince, the only daughter of General Chen Shizhao, the founder of the Han army, and the sister of the late general. I have come to the barracks today because there are people in the palace behind you who have committed rebellion, kidnapped and detained His Majesty the Emperor, tried to blackmail the Emperor into abdicating, and attempted to kill the Emperor. I came to meet Yang Biao and rescue the emperor. Today, whether you are allowed to go or not, I will enter the barracks and meet Yang Biao. If anyone dares to commit a crime and stand in my way, the end will be exactly the same as this traitor! ”

After speaking, I only heard a scream, Zhou Tingchen, who had just gotten up from the ground, pulled out his saber, and rushed towards me in a rage, was hit by my fourth white feather arrow, and a bright red blood line sprayed out from his carotid artery, flying several meters away, Zhou Tingchen immediately fell to the ground in a pool of blood, covering his neck and legs kicking wildly, falling into a dying struggle.

At this time, the soldiers of the guard who followed me raised their sabers together and shouted in unison: "The queen has arrived!" All the soldiers at the camp gate, kneel to welcome the phoenix! (To be continued.) )
