Chapter 149: Assassination
The feast continued, the light of the fire dancing brightly and shining on everyone's faces, sometimes dim, sometimes gloomy.
Leng Chi is responsible for the placement of this autumn hunt, so on such an occasion, there is no way to have fun and not have to be vigilant at all times.
Jiang sat next to Ye Lan, just put down a glass of wine, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Leng Ruoxue sitting next to Ye Mohan.
Jiang Shi remained silent, and asked with his eyes a question that only Leng Ruoxue could understand.
Leng Ruoxue was distracted, and nodded lightly without a trace.
Jiang retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the sitting below, smiling and smiling, and smiled quietly, turning his head to look at Ye Lan.
"Emperor, the concubine has a reluctant request."
Yelan seems to be in a good mood tonight.
"Oh? I don't know what the emperor wants? ”
"Before the concubine was at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, she saw the dance of her sister who dyed away once, and she never forgot it, but she was busy with the autumn hunt during this time, and she didn't have time to ask her sister for advice.
There was just a chance today, and the concubine wanted to ask her sister to dance for the concubine again, which was considered a wish of the concubine. ”
"Hahaha!" Hearing Jiang's words, Yelan couldn't help but laugh a few times: "What should I do if I am alone." ”
Saying that, Ye Lan looked at Dye Li: "Since the emperor wants to see you dance, you can dance a song!" ”
When Jiang just spoke, his face was already very ugly.
Although she used to be a dancing girl and was humble, but now it is different from the past, and she has been deeply favored by Yelan.
In the half moon of entering the palace, Yelan stayed in the Yilan Hall day and day, and the honor and favor were known to the whole country.
Jiang asked her to dance in public, which was simply an insult to her.
But what Ran Li never expected was that Yelan actually agreed!
Yelan agreed in such a sparse, ordinary tone.
Dye Li's hands were twisted together, his face was slightly red, and the anger in his heart poured down like a flood, but he was powerless to refute it, and he couldn't refute it.
The emperor spoke personally, and if she refused, it would be a great sin of disobedience.
She is not Leng Yue, nor is she Ye Jiuchen, she angers Ye Lan, and there is only one way to die.
At this moment, Dye Li finally understood one thing-
It turns out that even if she goes to this position, she is still such a lowly person who can make people call and drink at will!
Dye Li turned his eyes and looked at Leng Yue unconsciously, but saw Leng Yue's face was pale and he sat aside, just looking at himself quietly.
Dye left his chest and felt stuffy, but he could only barely maintain the smile on his face, not showing the slightest embarrassment.
"Since the emperor and queen mother spoke, she will be ugly."
With that, Dye Li got up and walked towards the open space in the center of the banquet.
The musician seemed to be ready, and when he saw that Darili had already walked to the center, he began to play the instrument.
Dye Li took a deep breath, ignored the various stares cast by him, raised his hands, and was just about to dance.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.
The bonfire behind him burned violently, and the red flames burned the firewood and crackled.
Ye Lan's eyes stared straight at the bonfire in the center, but her eyes widened suddenly.
I saw that in the bonfire, a sharp sword suddenly burst out, and under the staggered illumination of the fire and the moonlight, it was like a poisonous snake spitting snake letters and fangs, and attacked him directly.
"There are assassins, escorts!"
Leng Chi was the first to react and shouted, and there was a riot in the venue.
Some courtiers and family members were terrified and screamed loudly by instinct, while Yelan and Jiang sat high and motionless.
It was as if the sharp sword that pierced them could not hurt them in the slightest.
The Assassin appeared so suddenly, that by the time everyone reacted, it was already a little late.
Even though the guards had already drawn their swords and protected them in front of Yelan and the Jiang clan, the assassin seemed to be extremely good, volleying into the air and heading straight for Yelan.
Dariki stood in the middle of the clearing, with a raging fire behind him, surrounded by a panicked crowd fleeing in all directions.
No one paid attention to her anymore, and no one even remembered her.
And she saw that the sharp sword in the assassin's hand was about to stab at Ye Lan, and her breath was suffocating.
No way!
You can't just let Yelan die like this!
Her good life has just begun, and all of this is given by Yelan.
What would she do if Yelan died?
Dye Li seems to be able to foresee what kind of miserable situation he will fall into without Yelan.
Thinking of this, Dye Li hurriedly looked at Leng Yue.
saw Leng Yue, like an outsider, sitting quietly in place, and even the expression on his face did not change too much.
Dye Li was shocked.
How could she be so calm?
Or does this assassination have something to do with her?
No!
Not like!
So what the hell is she......
For a moment, no other sound could be heard in Dye's ears, and he just stood in place in a daze, looking at Leng Yue without blinking for a moment.
But Leng Yue was in no mood to care if Dye Li was looking at herself.
Today's events are too weird.
Emperor hunting, although the time and place are not secrets, but you must know that there are three layers inside and three layers outside the hunting ground, not to mention a living person, even a mosquito, and it is difficult to fly in.
Moreover, the hunting grounds are guarded and patrolled all year round, and it is difficult for an assassin to break in.
In this way, it means that the assassin may have been put in by someone with a heart.
But what is it for?
Leng Yue didn't believe it, she really came to assassinate Ye Lan.
Ye Lan's martial arts guards guarded him every step of the way, as well as Leng Chi and other courtiers, but the assassin was alone.
Rather than choosing to go head-to-head, it's easier to get a black hand.
Therefore, the goal of this assassin may not be to assassinate Yelan at all.
So what is his goal?
Someone deliberately put the assassin in, not to assassinate the emperor, but the sword was stabbed towards the emperor......
In an instant, Leng Yue's brain was spinning rapidly, one thought after another, one conjecture after another, like a mess, two chaotic entanglements.
But faintly, it seems to reveal some answer.
Everything is nothing but lightning, a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the assassin's sword was about to stab Ye Lan, a sharp blade suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the sword that flashed cold light stabbed at Ye Lan directly blocked it.
Leng Chi held a long sword in his hand and stood in front of Ye Lan, with an awe-inspiring and righteous body.
Leng Yue's eyes widened suddenly.
Yes!
Leng Chi is in charge of the security of this autumn hunt, so ......
At this time, Leng Yue and Liang Qian, one was protected by Ye Jiuchen and the other was protected by Xiao Hei, and they had already retreated to the side.
On the other side, Ye Sibai had also protected Cheng Yanran, and Ye Mohan took Leng Ruoxue to a safe place, with guards in front of him.
Leng Yue's eyes stared straight at the assassin.
At this time, the assassin had been entangled by several imperial guards, outnumbered, and in the blink of an eye, the assassin had been hit by several swords.
The black nightwalk was soaked in blood, and although the scarlet color was not noticeable, it was still visible to the naked eye.
The assassin seemed to see that he had no chance, and within a few moves, he found a gap, quickly pulled out, and went deep into the dense forest.
Ye Jiuchen frowned and looked at everything coldly.
Beside him, a figure suddenly flashed.
"Cold Moon!"
Ye Jiuchen was distracted, and hurriedly chased after Leng Yue.
"Cold Moon! What are you doing in the cold moon? ”
As soon as Liang Qian saw Leng Yue running away, he immediately couldn't help shouting, and this shout immediately attracted the attention of Ye Sibai and Ye Mohan who were standing aside.
Yesi's white eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at the person beside him silently.
The man received Ye Sibai's signal, took advantage of the chaos to retreat into the darkness, and the figure disappeared immediately.
And Ye Mo Han saw that Leng Yue chased the assassin regardless of it, and couldn't help but want to chase after him, but he didn't want to be grabbed by someone in his sleeve.
Leng Ruoxue held a pair of pitiful eyes, looking at Ye Mohan pleadingly.
"Fourth prince, it's too dangerous, don't go!"
Ye Mohan looked at Leng Ruoxue and was suddenly stunned.
In a moment, some images that had just been ignored suddenly came into mind.
There was a time in the afternoon, when Leng Ruoxue was nowhere to be seen.
When I asked her myself, she just went out and walked around.
At the palace banquet just now, the Jiang family seemed to ask Leng Ruoxue something with his eyes.
Then there is the image of Dye Li about to dance, and the assassin appears.
Thinking of this, Ye Mohan suddenly grabbed Leng Ruoxue's wrist and raised it high.
Ye Mohan's sudden move made Leng Ruoxue's body shrink involuntarily.
Leng Ruoxue asked Ye Mohan in horror: "Fourth prince...... You...... What's wrong with you? ”
"What did you do?"
Ye Mohan lowered his voice, word by word, but every word was like ice.
Leng Ruoxue was stunned, but she didn't let herself show anything unusual.
"What are you talking about, the fourth prince, the concubine, the concubine didn't do anything?"
Ye Mohan's eyes were full of coldness, and at this moment, he was almost certain that Leng Ruoxue had something to do with tonight's events.
But what the specific relationship was, he couldn't imagine.
Leng Ruoxue's skills and connections, he knows very well, if it is an assassin arranged by Leng Ruoxue, she does not have that ability.
Can......
Ye Mohan's heart was very chaotic, but now at this time, it was too late for him to calm down and think again.
He could only turn his eyes to look in the direction where the cold moon had disappeared.
Liang Qian was already crazy at this time, and punched Xiao Hei with a punch.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find Leng Yue?"
Xiao Hei also looked anxious, but looking at Liang Qian's expression, there was obvious worry.
Liang Qian hated that iron was not made of steel: "I'm fine, you go quickly!" ”
"Okay, then be careful!"
After saying a word, Xiao Hei immediately chased in the direction where Leng Yue disappeared.
The chaotic scene gradually fell silent because of the disappearance of the assassins.
Everyone had horror on their faces, as if they couldn't completely ease their minds about what had just happened.
But no one noticed that on Yelan's face, there was a meaningful smile that flashed like an almost invisible face......
