Several people turned their heads in unison.

Just look at the small half of the purple gold-rimmed corners of the clothes exposed behind the pillars of the temple.

Yan Liangyi stared at the corner of the clothes, wrinkled her eyebrows and called out uncertainly: "Brother? ”

Yan Qi covered his lips and coughed lowly and walked out, looking at everyone in surprise, stunned, or inexplicable.

It was the first time that Yan Liangyi saw a look similar to embarrassment on Yan Qi's face.

Hesitantly asked, "Was my brother eavesdropping on us just now?" ”

Yan Qi's eyes widened in horror.

shook his head at Jiang Lingran, and said urgently: "I didn't!" ”

Yan Liangyi was even more at a loss by Yan Qi's exaggerated denial.

"Uh" sounded, pointed to the pillar of the temple and said, "Why is my brother hiding?" ”

Yan Qi looked at her meek and calm eyebrows, and she couldn't calm down in her heart!

She had mistaken him for a man who was eating and drinking, and he still hadn't explained it yet.

If you misunderstand him again this time, he has a habit of eavesdropping on girls, but what's the matter!

In a moment, he saw sweat on his forehead, and he took two quick steps towards the temple gate, and said, "That, I didn't know you were inside." ”

"When I heard you say to quit, you just walked out."

"I'm afraid of misunderstanding, so I want to hide."

He explained with great seriousness.

But the effect is not good.

Yan Liangyi was speechless after hearing this.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Lingran, he explained: "My brother is more playful, in fact, there is nothing malicious, don't get me wrong." As he spoke, he pulled her and said, "Let's go." ”

Yan Qi: "Isn't it better not to say this kind of explanation?

Jiang Lingran glanced at Yan Qi's stunned appearance when he turned around, and followed Yan Liangyi away with a smile.

The little eunuch came in with a handkerchief and handed it to Yan Qi.

Yan Qi looked at the direction of the temple gate, like a clay sculpture and wood carving.

What kind of obscene image he has created.

Back to Zhaoyang Palace, the atmosphere in the hall is very strange.

Yan Liangyi took Jiang Lingran and tiptoed back to his seat.

Bai Fu saw them come back and said in a low voice, "Why have you been there for so long?" I'm going to send someone to you. ”

Yan Liangyi explained with a smile and looked at the direction of the emperor.

I saw a long wooden box with a red lacquered wood carved dragon inlaid with treasures on the table in front of the emperor, and a cold sword without sheath was clearly dangling in the box.

She frowned and said, "Is that a sword?" ”

At the birthday banquet, who presented such a fierce sword? Jiang Lingran looked at Jiang Ji standing next to the emperor, and mentioned it with a heart.

Bai Fu glanced at the wooden box, her face was a little tense, and she explained to Yan Liangyi in a lower voice: "It was sent by Ruzhou." ”

When Yan Liangyi heard this, she immediately twisted her eyebrows indignantly: "Didn't Ruzhou's congratulatory gift be sent early?" What are you going to do here? ”

Bai Fu motioned for her not to talk much.

Jiang Lingran frowned when he heard the word "Ruzhou".

The first emperor is Chang, and there are several resourceful and decisive princes under his knees.

At that time, the most sacred heart and the most likely to inherit the unification were the current saint and the current King Wen'an of Ruzhou.

After ascending the throne, he treated his siblings well, and each was given a fief and a lord.

But over the years, Ruzhou has been ready to move, and the thief's heart is not dead.

Now, relying on the mercy and generosity of today, he presents a sharp sword on the day of Wanshou Day.

The meaning of this cannot be investigated.

Jiang Ji smiled slightly: "What the emperor said is right, this sword is a good sword." ”

The emperor stared at the sword for a moment, and said with a light smile: "The general who protects the country has been loyal to the monarch and protected the monarch all his life, and he is an example for thousands of subjects. ”

"I give you this sword today, I hope you can be as loyal to the country as your father!"

Jiang Ji was slightly stunned, quickly came back to his senses, and knelt on the ground to thank him.

Gao Desheng on the side glanced at the emperor's expression very quickly, lowered his eyes and stepped forward, picked up the sword and put it in Jiang Ji's hand.

There was a slight commotion in the hall.

Jiang Lingran clenched his hands.

What does the emperor mean?

Did you not want to see this sword more, let alone keep it by your side, so you gave it to your brother casually?

But what kind of unguessable holy will does the word "protector" imply?

Could it be that the emperor is going to do something to King Wen'an?

So this sword is given to the elder brother, is it to be used by the elder brother?!

At the same time that Jiang Ji Xie En got up, the sword in his hand suddenly stabbed at the emperor.

The incident happened suddenly, and there were gasps in the temple, but no one made a sound.

Wang Zhan, the commander of the forbidden army, was the first to come back to his senses and shouted: "Escort!" He drew his knife and slashed at Jiang Ji.

Jiang Lingran's scalp was buzzing.

She stood up and exclaimed, "Brother! ”

saw Jiang Ji's sword grazing the emperor's right shoulder.

A snake broke in two under his sword!

Jiang Ji looked at Wang Zhan's knife approaching him, his heart sank, he supported the table with one hand, and turned over and crossed over.

Standing behind the dragon chair, his foot stepped on the head of the snake that was still spitting out the red letter.

And the body of the snake clings to the dragon chair.

Where the fracture was broken, blood flowed.

"Poisonous snake, take over!"

Wang Zhan's knife slash fell short, and when he heard this sentence of poisonous snake, he suddenly understood Jiang Ji's sudden move.

Hurriedly escorted the emperor and queen and retreated to the open space in the palace.

Only then did the people in the temple come back to their senses, and they were frightened by the sword and exclaimed, and when they heard the poisonous snakes, they all got up like stings and looked at their feet.

Yan Qi tidied up his clothes and came back to see that there was chaos in the hall.

Just as he was puzzled, he watched a snake quickly swim on the smooth marble floor, and its direction was Jiang Lingran.

He rushed over almost immediately.

As he passed by a guard, a knife was pulled from his waist.

Before Jiang Lingran could recover from the shock, he saw Yan Qi coming towards her with a knife.

Her eyes sparkled, and her feet looked like nails were pierced.

Yan Qi slashed in the air, and the sharp blade slashed through the snake's seven inches.

A streak of blood splattered on Jiang Lingran's table.

Only then did Bai Fu see the poisonous snake that came to them at some point, and she screamed in fright.

Yan Liangyi, who was called Yin, also shouted.

Yan Qi rushed to her, but grabbed Yan Liangyi's wrist beside her, and pulled it back, avoiding the snake head that fell on the table.

The snakehead smashed over a glass of plum wine.

The aroma of wine mixed with the smell of blood spreads.

Jiang Lingran looked at the back that was blocking her like a mountain, and her frozen body slowly warmed up.

She lowered her eyes to see his hand hanging down at her side and carrying the knife trembling undeformably, and her heart was sour and wanted to cry.

The hand in the sleeve moved, lifted it slightly, and slowly retracted it.

He took half a step back and stood respectfully.

Yan Qi looked at Yan Liangyi, who was so frightened that his face turned pale, and said in a low voice, "It's okay!" As he spoke, he glanced in her direction, and saw her standing quietly with her head down, and her heart was slightly relieved.

Yan Liangyi was almost scared to death, if it weren't for Yan Qi dragging her, she would have wilted and sat on the ground.

Hearing him ask, he immediately burst into tears and choked up: "How can there be a snake." ”

Bai Fu hurriedly hugged her and pressed her head in his arms to prevent her from looking. Reassured: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Yan Liangyi encountered a snake once in the imperial garden when she was a child, and she was extremely afraid of snakes after that.
