Chapter 171: The Evil Empress (31)
Twelve hides behind the corner of the box, intending to wait for everyone to leave before going out, but she overhears a conversation she didn't expect.
The group of people seemed to be a spontaneously organized patrol, led by a bearded man, who pointed to the portrait posted on the notice board and said: "This time we are helping Your Majesty find the culprit who cursed him, and Her Royal Highness said that as long as anyone finds the woman in this portrait, whether she lives or dies, Her Highness will reward her with five hundred gold coins!" ”
The patrol team was hotly discussed, and some people said: "Why didn't Your Highness organize the guards to arrest the prisoners, but let us ordinary people go?" ”
The bearded man replied: "Because Her Royal Highness said that this person is very cunning and good at hiding among ordinary people, so our self-correction and self-examination are the most effective, and the guards of the province have alarmed our family." ”
"Her Royal Highness is really sympathetic to the people!"
"Who's to say it's not, but how can I look at the person in this portrait who looks so much like Her Royal Highness?"
"That's a little bit of a thing."
The bearded man saw that the people in the patrol team began to be restless, stretched out his two hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be calm: "This is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, the queen said, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is possessed by demons, Her Royal Highness the queen is a holy woman, who dares not to believe what she said?" ”
People stopped pointing and public opinion again, and began to obey the bearded man's assignment to take charge of different areas.
When the crowd dispersed, Twelve approached the notice board and couldn't help but complain: "It's so ugly!" ”
Hongmeng also poked his head and glanced at it, and since then, he has been holding his beak with his wings and smiling, until he has become a fried chicken.
Twelve thought to herself, this Zhao Jiaqi was also ruthless, in order to prevent herself from saving Victoria, she did not hesitate to reverse black and white, and wanted herself, now she can understand why the guards at the door are soft and hard.
Setting off again, Twelve narrowly missed patrols and guards several times.
It's not that Twelve can't beat them, but if she really hurts people, it will be equivalent to confirming her own crimes, and she hasn't forgotten that her hidden mission is to become the empress.
Victoria hadn't been rescued yet, and she couldn't afford to pay for herself at this time.
So she could only walk around the bend more carefully, but in doing so, it greatly lengthened the distance from her to the palace, and Twelve was anxious in her heart.
is the so-called concern is chaos, not to mention that there are so many people searching for twelve in the city, and she has finally been discovered.
She was found by a civilian patrol team, and coincidentally, the leader of this team was the bearded man who organized the patrol before.
The bearded man recognized Twelve and the Suo Suo she was carrying at a glance, and before Twelve could react, he could hear him pointing at himself and shouting, "She's there!" The prisoners are there! ”
A group of fierce men brandished iron rods and rushed towards Twelve.
Twelve left one dodged, the right one dodged, I don't know how hard it was to hide, this bearded man seemed to know her purpose, deliberately brought someone to wait for her here, how could he be recognized with a hat?
Twelve didn't dare to hit anyone, Suo Suo was different.
Seeing that Twelve was being bullied, Suoso rushed forward with an arrow, and kept screaming at the people, and those who were holding iron rods were also afraid that the fierce Soso would bite him, and they retreated.
But there are always those who are not afraid of death, so they pick up the iron rod and knock it on Suosuo.
"Soso!" Twelve exclaimed in fright, Suo Suo would not bite without her orders, but in this way, Suoso's movement was restricted, and the stick was destined to be impossible to dodge.
At this moment, an off-string arrow broke through the wind and shot the iron rod in the man's hand.
Twelve rushed forward to protect Suo Suo in his arms, and looked in the direction of the arrow, and a tall figure slowly walked out, with impressive eyes and a resolute look, so that Twelve recognized the person at once.
"Cecil?!"
Cecil smiled calmly: "It's exactly below." He lowered his bow and arrows and stared at the group that was about to besiege Twelve.
"Aren't you gone? How did you end up here? Twelve walked over to him while guarding the rope.
"Surprise? I've been in the city for a long time, and when I saw your wanted notices posted everywhere, I knew you were going to be in trouble, so I'm here to help you! Cecil raised his hand to stop a man who was holding an iron bar and trying to rush up.
Twelve smiled and replied, "Thank you, I was before-"
Cecil interrupted Twelve's words: "I don't remember what happened before, and now I'm your friend, Cecil the Traveler, don't you still want to save Princess Victoria?" Go for it! ”
With Cecil helping the twelve to stop the group, she successfully escaped and ran straight towards the palace gate.
And the bearded man didn't seem to want to let go of Twelve, and took advantage of Cecil's efforts to deal with the others, and quietly followed Twelve.
Twelve didn't notice that there was a person behind him, and only walked in the direction of the palace gate, the palace gate at this time was extremely quiet, and there were only two guards guarding the door, Zhao Jiaqi seemed to be very confident that he couldn't enter the city, so the guard at the palace gate was extremely lax.
She was about to rush in, but she felt a cool breeze behind her, and Twelve hurriedly lowered her head, turned around and saw that it was the bearded man wielding a sword chasing her.
Twelve hurriedly drew his sword to meet him, and the movement here quickly alarmed the guards, and one of them ran to call someone.
She was in a hurry, and she had to keep dodging the bearded man's moves, but he was infinitely powerful, and the twelve, known as the "Peerless Sword Queen", was suppressed.
Just as she was distracted, the beard slapped her on the shoulder and restrained her to the ground.
The bearded man said proudly: "Hmph, I'm an assassin sent by Her Royal Highness the Empress, how can you beat me?" ”
"It's a pity that you fools, one by two, have become my sword ghosts! I'll send you to a reunion with the princess's faithful attendant! As he spoke, the beard increased the strength of his hand, and the sharp tip of the sword was about to sink into Twelve's chest.
"What do you say? Say it again?! Twelve uttered the sentence almost through gritted teeth.
She had only heard Vinola say that Salim had been killed by an assassin sent by the Empress, but she didn't expect it to be the person in front of her.
"I said, that female foreman is really a little backbone, in order to delay the escape time for his princess, desperately protecting a dummy, I really thought that what he was holding in his hand was Her Royal Highness the princess, but unfortunately we still saw through it, and he didn't let go of my thighs until he died."
"Even though I pierced his heart, he still wouldn't let go."
"In the end, I had no choice but to cut off his hand, you say, does this man or woman have a bit of backbone, haha-"
