Clang, the crisp sound of ceramic falling to the ground and shattering -

A group of samurai dressed in palace costumes but armed with weapons suddenly appeared in the hall, surrounding everyone.

Thanks to Jiang Xuanshui's attack from behind, interrupting the maid's movements, Qi Fengting escaped.

Qi Song reacted quickly and protected Qi Fengting behind him.

Such a change was unexpected by Emperor Nanfeng.

His complexion changed drastically, and he shouted, "Someone, escort—"

Outside the hall, however, there was silence, and not a single guard entered.

Emperor Nanfeng's heart was cold, but he had to keep his composure, trying to delay for some time, "Who are you?" ”

Naturally, no one paid attention to him.

Jiang Qiushui scolded secretly in his heart.

Before entering the palace, they were carefully searched and were not allowed to carry any weapons, which meant that they could only confront these assassins with their bare hands.

The palace maid who tried to attack Qi Fengting just now saw that her trick failed, and she was still unwilling, revealing an arm-long dagger with a cold face, and slashed at her.

Qi Song protected Qi Fengting behind him with one hand, and raised his foot to kick her away.

He was so fast that the palace maid's reaction was not slow, dodging his feet and making a gesture to slash at his neck.

Qi Song frowned, still thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and his body was pushed violently, so he dodged.

He raised his eyes and found that the person who pushed him was Qi Jin.

Cut, who asked him to help.

He sneered.

And the current situation does not allow him to wander.

Qi Song's distraction, and the scene changed rapidly.

The palace maid who had just shot at him was fighting with Ruan Yuan.

Ruan Yuan was holding a long whip in her hand, and the long whip seemed to be very flexible and relaxed in her hand, but it was full of loopholes in Qi Song's eyes, and he sighed.

And the palace maid also saw her shortcomings after fighting with her for a moment, her eyes flashed, she grabbed the flaws exposed by Ruan Yu in front of her eyes, and stabbed her heart with lightning speed.

Qi Song's heart tightened, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed over to break the palace maid's offensive.

When Ruan Yuan saw him coming, he paused.

"Don't want to die? Dare to be in a daze! ”

Qi Song glared at her with hatred, and took advantage of the situation to hold her right hand holding the whip and waved the long black whip to resist the palace maid's fierce attack.

At this moment, although the long whip was still in Ruan Yuan's hand, there was a noticeable difference.

Every stroke he made could accurately fall on the palace maid's body, as if he had predicted her position in advance, turned defense into offense, and beat her back one after another.

Bang Dong –

The whip landed on the maid's hand with a snap, knocking down the dagger in her hand.

Ruan Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and subconsciously rushed over to snatch the dagger first.

Qi Song didn't have time to stop it at all, so he saw Ruan Yuan unsuspectingly exposing his back to the palace maid's eyes.

In the next second, another dagger appeared in the palace maid's hand.

She sneered, and was about to pierce the back of Ruan Yuan's neck.

——

Ruan Yuan was suddenly hugged by Qi Song, who rushed over, and the strange breath and warm embrace made her whole body freeze.

Until she felt the stiffness of Qi Song's body, as well as the fishy smell of blood coming from her.

When the boy on her back slid limply off her with difficulty closing his eyes, Ruan Yuan almost thought that his heartbeat had stopped.

Immediately, his eyes were hot and he caught his body.

The palace maid was shocked by the strong hatred and killing intent in her eyes that she raised unexpectedly, and her movements hesitated for a moment.

Then there was a pain in her chest, and she slowly looked down to see that the dagger that had fallen from her hand had penetrated her chest.

Brush –

Before she could react, the dagger was jerked out by Ruan Yuan.

Poof—

It was the sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh again.

When the Imperial Guard's Praetorian Guards finally arrived late and subdued the remnants of the Assassins, Jiang Qiushui wandered and found Ruan Yuan's figure.

She watched incredulously as Ruan Yuan stabbed the female assassin who had long since lost her breath.

Then his eyes fell on Qi Song, who fell not far away, and he subconsciously frowned and glanced at Qi Jin beside him.

Qi Jin's face was calm, so that people couldn't see a trace of anxiety.

However, the action of rushing to Qi Song's side was very fast, and when Jiang Yushui led Qi Fengting over, Qi Jin had already skillfully pointed at many acupoints on his body and stopped the bleeding for him.

Feeling that the little girl's hands were cold and scary, Jiang Yushui whispered to her, "Your second brother will be fine." ”

She shook Qi Fengting's hand vigorously, hoping to give this little girl some strength.

Qi Fengting didn't have a trace of blood on his lips, but he still held the corners of his lips firmly, and smiled palely, "I know, the second emperor brother didn't hurt him, and the eldest emperor brother stopped the bleeding in time." ”

Her eyes fell on Ruan Yuan, who was like a magic barrier, and motioned, "Sister-in-law, go see your friend." ”

Jiang Yushui was also worried about it in his heart, and confirmed that Qi Fengting's mood was quite stable, so he put his mind at ease, and didn't pay attention to her title, let go of her hand and rushed to Ruan Yuan's side.

The splitter snatched her dagger, and when Ruan Yuan reached out to grab it, Jiang Yushui raised her voice and called her name.

"Ruan Yuan, do you know who I am? See clearly! ”

A hint of clarity flashed in Ruan Yuan's eyes, and he stopped snatching and hesitated: "...... Ah Late? ”

"It's me." Jiang Qiushui said softly, "Qi Song is still alive." ”

After hearing the word "Qi Song", the stiff muscles on her face instantly relaxed, pulled her face, hugged Jiang Wushui suddenly, and choked up: "Woo, I'm scared to death." ”

Jiang Yushui patted her back soothingly.

——

The Assassins were taken down by the Janissaries who had been long overdue, and the hearts of the people were relieved.

At that time, the scene was extremely chaotic, everyone was in danger, screams and cries were incessant, and tension and fear occupied everyone's heartstrings, so no one noticed how Qi Song was injured.

Now that it is safe, people have noticed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Beicang was pierced in the abdomen from behind, and he has long passed out.

Emperor Nanfeng immediately recovered from his fright, and Shen Sheng ordered the palace people to carry Qi Song into the inner hall on a stretcher, let the imperial doctor follow, and gave a death order, ensuring that Qi Song's life was worry-free.

Ruan Yuan watched as the unconscious Qi Song was carried away by the palace people, getting farther and farther away from her.

She wanted to follow, but the moment she raised her foot, she thought of something, stopped abruptly, and bit her lower lip.

And this hesitation, Qi Song has been surrounded by everyone and sent away, until she can no longer see his figure clearly.

Jiang Yushui noticed her depressed mood, secretly squeezed her hand, and was surprised to find that her hand was even colder than Fang Cai Qi Fengting's hand, and glanced at her sideways.

She thought about it and decided to tell her.

So he whispered in her ear and said, "Just now I asked Ah Wei to follow along, don't worry." ”
