♂? ，，

Zhao Qian hesitated slightly, bowed down and said, "Emperor Qiqi, there are those people left over from the past, and some of them are people sent by the Xi family to protect the emperor. ”

"Did the Xi family send someone over?"

"Yes, the eldest young master is worried that the emperor will make a mistake, so he sent a master to protect the emperor."

Xuanyuan Yan saw that there were some white-clothed people standing around coldly not far away, and those who dared to approach here were all killed by those white-clothed people mercilessly. Those white-clothed people are all masters, and they also have crossbow arrows and hidden weapons invented by Ye Ruoxi in their hands.

There are also some people in white who rob and kill those people in black from a distance, so that the people in black have a chance to get close to Xuanyuan Yan.

The masters who occasionally rushed over were also stopped and killed by two people, one of whom was dressed in an arrogant blood-red robe and carried an ordinary blood-colored long knife in his hand. A verdant, half-dead look, leaning against a large tree, carrying an equally green sword in his hand in the face of extreme coolness.

The blood-colored long knife and emerald green sword, I don't know what material they were made of, flashed in the moonlight with a bloodthirsty cold glow.

"Those two people are the two of the four protectors under Ye Tianqing?"

"Yes, both of them are masters among the top ten masters in Jian'an, known as Red Devil and Bijiao, and they are the two people with the highest martial arts."

"Ning Bang has a heart."

Xuanyuan Yan whispered, looking at the Red Devil and the Wall Jiao in the distance, the two of them were carrying extremely attractive weapons in their hands, and they rarely made a move, only when they saw that the other party had a master appearing, maybe it was difficult for their subordinates to support it, and they were willing to make a move.

One blow kills, never merciless, few people can go through a few moves under the Red Devil and the wall Jiao.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at it for a moment, and the martial arts internal skills of these two people were even higher than him.

If he had met these two people before, he would never be the opponent of these two, since Ye Ruoxi cultivated the strange sunflower treasure book, he and Ye Ruoxi's dual cultivation of internal skills has improved rapidly, and their martial arts have improved a lot. When you meet these two people at this moment, you can barely fight.

"My father-in-law went to the imperial mausoleum, didn't he bring anyone with him?"

"Xiang Ye's side has always been waiting for the gray charm."

"It's strange, my father-in-law doesn't have the best martial arts master around him, why did he use the worst one?"

"The slave doesn't know that there is now a purple electricity who follows the third young master to protect the third young master. Since the third young master was injured and most of his martial arts internal skills were abolished, Zidian has never left the third young master's side. ”

"Ning Bang's side, why didn't he leave anyone to protect him?"

"The eldest young master has strong martial arts, and there are people around him, originally this red devil and Bijiao were left by Xiangye to the eldest young master."

At this time, under the attack of hidden weapons, crossbow arrows, etc., and the interception of the masters, the black-clothed people who rushed into the palace gradually decreased, and fell down one by one. Someone was checking whether the dead man in black was dead, and the few remaining men in black saw that there was no hope of assassinating the emperor, so they rushed outside the palace.

The Red Devil and Bijiao shot at the same time,

Kill those men in black like lightning, all the men in white guard all directions, block the way of the remaining men in black, and attack with crossbow arrows and hidden weapons.

In a short time, all the men in black were slaughtered, and the fire in the palace was extinguished and quieted.

The shouts of killing outside the palace also gradually weakened.

The Red Devil and Bijiao put away their swords, inserted them into their sheaths, and walked quickly in the direction of Xuanyuan Yan.

The two of them knelt down twenty or thirty steps away from Xuanyuan Yan.

"The ministers see the emperor, the ministers are too late to save the driver, please forgive the emperor."

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the two of them for a moment: "Get up, the two of you come here." ”

The Red Devil and Bi Jiao lowered their heads and walked forward more than ten steps, stopping and bowing more than ten steps away from Xuanyuan Yan: "Please ask the emperor to order." ”

"It's the first time I've seen the two of you."

"It's the emperor, the ministers have a humble position, and they have no chance to see the face of heaven, when the emperor returned from Donghai County, the ministers have seen the emperor's face from afar."

The two bowed and replied respectfully.

"The rebels outside the city are heavy, how did Ning Bang arrange them?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not very clear about this matter, and the ministers were ordered to come to protect the emperor. The eldest young master said that the thieves outside the city would soon be defeated, so the ministers did not need to worry too much about inviting the emperor. ”

Xuanyuan Yan was silent for a moment, as if there was something hidden in this, which he didn't know, which made him a little unhappy.

Xuanyuan Yan was silent, without saying a word, the atmosphere was suppressed and heavy because of Xuanyuan Yan's silence, the Red Devil and Bi Jiao glanced at each other with some uneasiness, and stood not far from Xuanyuan Yan, not daring to say a word.

"How is the emperor?"

An anxious voice came from a distance, and when the words landed, Ye Ruoxi appeared not far in front of Xuanyuan Yan and looked at Xuanyuan Yan.

"Ministers, see Niangniang."

Everyone around knelt down, Red Devil and Bijiao also knelt down, and their eyes fell on Ye Ruoxi's body.

"The Emperor's ......"

Ye Ruoxi's eyes fell on Xuanyuan Yan's body, and when he saw that there were blood stains on Xuanyuan Yan's body, he couldn't help but be anxious, and rushed to Xuanyuan Yan's side in a few steps and grabbed Xuanyuan Yan's arm: "Are you hurt?" ”

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Ye Ruoxi looked at the blood stains on Xuanyuan Yan's body uneasily, and did not find any injuries on Xuanyuan Yan, so his heart was slightly relieved.

"See the Emperor."

Ye Ruoxi let go of Xuanyuan Yan's sleeves, took two steps back, bowed down on his knees, and saluted Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan was helpless, and only remembered to give a gift at this moment, wasn't it too late?

He stretched out his hand and dragged Ye Ruoxi's arm, and gently pulled his wrist into Ye Ruoxi's arms: "Come on, why come here?" Have all Xuanyuan Qing's people retreated? ”

Ye Ruoxi's eye knife was aimed at Zhao Qian, and it was Zhao Qian who sent someone to deliver a letter to her, saying that Xuanyuan Yan had met an assassin halfway out

, those assassins were hidden underground, and Xuanyuan Yan's life was in danger, so she threw everything behind and ran over to see Xuanyuan Yan.

Zhao Qian bowed his head and said nothing, what he said was the truth, if you don't believe it, please look at his pure eyes.

Xuanyuan Yan saw Ye Ruoxi's eyes, understood what had happened, and smiled slightly at Zhao Qian to show his approval.

"I heard that the emperor had met an assassin and his life was in danger, so I ran over to see it."

"That's true, I was almost killed by those assassins just now."

Listening to Xuanyuan Yan's words, Ye Ruoxi became nervous, looked at Xuanyuan Yan, and then looked around. Suddenly, she saw Jiao Tao's body, lying not far away.

"Jiao Tao, he ......"

"In order to save me, he used his body to block the hidden weapon and sword for me and died, if it weren't for that, lying there at this moment, it might be me."

Ye Ruoxi's heart couldn't help but feel cold, and she stared at Jiao Tao's body for a long time.

"I promised to spare him, arrange for his family, and bury him. Leave this matter to be dealt with, after all, he is a slave. ”

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was heavy, and his lips were close to Ye Ruoxi's ear: "I will write down this account first, and then calculate it later!" ”

Ye Ruoxi looked at Xuanyuan Yan weakly, and was once again killed by Xuanyuan Yan's Mo Yan eyes: "You know?" ”

"Humph......"

Ye Ruoxi looked around, can you find a chance to slip away first?

Her eyes fell on the Red Devil and Bi Jiao, and looked at the two people who were extremely cool: "Who are they?" ”

Xuanyuan Yan was speechless: "Ruoxi, can you be more confused?" ”

Red Devil and Bijiao are two of the four protectors under Ye Tianqing, and Ye Ruoxi is half of the master, so he doesn't know two people.

"Chen Red Devil, Chen Bijiao, see Niang Niang Chitose, Chitose."

The two hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

Ye Ruoxi rolled his eyes: "What a cool name, big ......, the emperor, is it the emperor's guard?" ”

The crowd was speechless.

"Niangniang, Hui Niangniang, the Red Devil and Bijiao are the four protectors under Xiangye, and the two with the highest martial arts."

Zhao Qian could only whisper beside Ye Ruoxi.

Ye Ruoxi was embarrassed and embarrassed to let the two get up.

"How's it going out there? Go over and take a look. ”

Xuanyuan Yan grabbed Ye Ruoxi's arm and walked towards the palace wall with Ye Ruoxi.

"Your Majesty, please stay here with peace of mind, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves, and go to get the head of Xuanyuan Qing for the emperor."

The Red Devil whispered.

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at the Red Devil: "Don't worry, what's the use of the Red Devil for some trivial things, isn't the Ming family cleaning up the bandits?" Let the Ming family do it, the Ming family won't even be able to do this little thing, right? ”

The red devil pondered the meaning of the emperor's words, hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and followed Xuanyuan Yan

Behind.

At this time the palace

The shouting and killing outside the wall gradually faded away, leaving behind corpses and bloodstains, and those who attacked the palace gate and the palace wall were attacked by the Ming family again because of heavy losses.

The shouts of killing in the distance gradually subsided as a sign of their defeat, and if those men had succeeded, they would have come to assist them in attacking the palace.

A touch of dawn rose from the east, and the palace walls turned blood-red, dazzling. The palace walls, which were stained red with blood, exuded a strong smell of blood.

Countless corpses lay outside the palace walls, with severed limbs and human heads strewn everywhere.

In the cold wind, the blood condensed into red ice, and in the morning light, it reflected a magnificent and miserable red, which stabbed everyone's eyes.

Skulls rolled in the cold wind, countless corpses piled up in a mountain, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand to cover Ye Ruoxi's eyes: "Don't look." ”

He turned Ye Ruoxi's body around and hugged him into his arms, preventing Ye Ruoxi from seeing the tragic situation outside the palace walls.

Ye Ruoxi was speechless, when he was fighting against Rishengguo, did he see less bloody scenes? This level is far worse than what I saw in Tokai County. At that time, in the final battle with Oda Jun, the beaches, roads, and the sea were full of corpses, and when you looked at it, there was an endless layer of red.

The sharks in Tokai County must be very fat, right?

She obediently lay down in Xuanyuan Yan's arms, buried her face in Xuanyuan Yan's arms, and did not look back at the tragic situation outside the palace walls.

"Emperor Qi, the Ming family has defeated the Seven Princes."

"Emperor Qi, Xi Shangshu has cleaned up the chaos of the Yan family and confiscated the Yan family's ......"

"The Emperor's ......"

One by one, news gathered here from everywhere and returned to Xuanyuan Yan.

Tie Mingxiong led people to clean up the corpses outside the palace walls, and sent people to inquire about the news everywhere, the news has never been broken, Kang Yuanbang and Kang Yuanyuan, every once in a while, they will send people over to report some news.

The Ling family has not moved, neither following the Yan family to make a rebellion, nor assisting in the suppression of the rebellious party. It wasn't until after dawn that he saw the situation clearly, and began to dispatch forces to clean up the Yan family's chaotic party, intending to win a share of the credit in this rebellion.

Xuanyuan Yan looked into the distance, he was waiting for news from Kang Yuanbang, and the rebels outside the city were the things that worried him the most.

"Your Majesty, please go back and rest, there is news that the ministers will return to the emperor as soon as possible."

Tie Mingxiong whispered beside Xuanyuan Yan.

The Red Devil bowed again: "Your Majesty, leave Bijiao for the emperor to send, and the ministers will go to see where Xuanyuan Qing has gone, and take his head for the emperor." ”

"It's fine, don't keep me waiting too long."

"Yes, I obey."

The Red Devil bowed and jumped out of the palace wall, his body disappearing into the morning light like electricity.

"The Xi family is full of talents,

It's rare to see such a master. ”

Bi Jiao hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, the ministers are the emperor's courtiers, and they are just temporarily staying in the Xi family to serve the emperor." ”

Ye Ruoxi pinched Xuanyuan Yan's chest fiercely, what is the Xi family full of talents, the big demon is afraid of the Xi family's power, is it beating the Xi family with words?

Labor pains came from Xuanyuan Yan's chest into his body, he remained silent, and let Ye Ruoxi pinch his chest, very good, it was another account, and it was calculated slowly.

"Da, da, da......"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and someone in the distance led a group of cavalry covered in blood to the palace wall.

The first person was covered in red, covered in blood, and almost all of his silver armor and the white horse under his crotch were dyed red.

He jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee outside the palace wall: "Chen Kang Yuanyuan, see the emperor, return to the emperor, the chaotic party in Jian'an City has been taken, and the Yan family has been confiscated." ”

Ye Ruoxi hurriedly turned around and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the blood stains on Kang Yuanyuan's body.

Xuanyuan Yan's arm tightened, and Ye Ruoxi didn't say anything.

"Ning Yuan, are you hurt?"

"Thank you for the emperor's inquiry, the ministers were not injured, these blood are the blood of those rebellious ministers and thieves. The emperor, the ministers came to pay homage to the emperor, so they went to clear the rest of the chaotic party, and asked the emperor to go back to rest, and the ministers came to meet the emperor and return to the emperor later. The emperor doesn't need to worry, the rebellious army outside the city has retreated. ”

"Go ahead."

Xuanyuan Yan wanted to ask something, but finally didn't ask, turned around and walked back in the direction of the dormitory with Ye Ruoxi.

Ye Ruoxi looked at Xuanyuan Yan's face, and knew that Xuanyuan Yan had a very heavy heart, and when he entered the dormitory, the slaves and maids waited for the two to change clothes and wash up, and present breakfast.

This is the first time that Xuanyuan Yan has openly entered the dormitory in recent days, and he has eaten with Ye Ruoxi, Jinxiu repelled all the slaves and maids, and waited with Xiaoyun in the outer room to wait for orders.

"The suspicion is still so serious."

"The suspicion is not lighter than mine."

"What is the emperor worried about? Are you worried about the rebellious army, or are you worried about the Xi family? If I am worried about the chaos of the army, I have nothing to say, if I am worried about the Xi family, why do I have to leave my eldest brother and third brother to serve? ”

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at Ye Ruoxi and didn't speak, bowed his head to eat, Ye Ruoxi didn't speak anymore, and buried himself in eating.

"Your Majesty, Kang Yuanbang asks to see the Emperor."

"Biography."

As soon as the two of them finished eating, Kang Yuanbang went outside the dormitory.

"The minister sees the emperor, Niangniang."

Kang Yuanbang's visit to the shrine has been completed, his face is full of tiredness, in the past month or so, he has not had a moment of leisure, and he has not had a night to sleep peacefully.

"Ning Bang, you haven't eaten yet, come here, pass the meal."

"Thank you to the emperor, the minister doesn't have time to eat, and he has to keep an eye on it immediately after returning to the emperor."

"It's not too late to go after eating

, The body is important, and my sister will fight hard with me when she is tired. ”

Ye Ruoxi pursed her red lips, Kang Yuanbang bowed down to thank you, and hurriedly went down to use something to come back.

"Your Majesty, the rebels of the Lin family and the Li family have temporarily retreated, and now they are waiting. The people of the Yan family and the chaotic party are being further eliminated, so we must not let go of any of them, please don't worry about the emperor. ”

"How did you know that the rebels of the Lin family and the Li family would retreat?"

Xuanyuan Yan was very concerned about this matter in his heart, and Kang Yuanbang asked people to come and go, saying that the rebellious army would soon retreat, which made him feel that Kang Yuanbang seemed to have something to hide from him.

"Your Majesty, the rebels of the Lin family and the Li family are not many, and they are urgently marching here. In order to avoid obstacles and eyes and ears, their besiegers were far from enough to break through Jian'an City. The Lin family and the Li family are waiting for the Yan family to respond internally and open the city gate for them, or break the forbidden palace and open the way for them. The Yan family was wiped out, and there was no one to respond for them, and these rebels would inevitably retreat after heavy losses, so as not to suffer from the enemy. ”

"Will they come back to attack Jian'an City? I don't want to be attacked by these rebels under the city of Jian'an, it's really annoying to me, and I can't stay for a long time in this life. ”

"Your Majesty, please don't be in a hurry, the Ling family has been refusing to make a move last night, secretly watching, and has secret dealings with the Lin family, the Li family, and the Yan family. The ministers asked for the holy decree to clear the Yan family and the Ling family first, so that the city of Jian'an was stable. ”

"Exactly."

"The minister retired."

Xuanyuan Yan also understands that the most important thing now is to stabilize Jian'an City first, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves and rebels.

Kang Yuanbang came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

After a while, someone replied, and the Red Devil met him.

The Red Devil was carrying a red cloth bag in his hand, and I don't know if it was red, or if it was dyed red with blood.

"Your Majesty, the minister lived up to the emperor's trust and took Xuanyuan Qing's head for the emperor."

The red devil raised the package in his hand above his head with both hands, someone took it, Xuanyuan Yan glanced at Ye Ruoxi, Ye Ruoxi pursed her red lips and stepped aside, but it was just a human head, what was there to see, she didn't bother to look at it.

The servant opened the package, and Xuanyuan Qing's head was impressively in the package, grinning teeth, hideous face, round eyes, with a look of unwillingness and fear.

Xuanyuan Yan waved his hand, and Zhao Qian ordered someone to take the head down.

"Aiqing beheaded Xuanyuan Qing and killed the rebellious leader, it is a great achievement, get up."

"Thank the emperor, it is an honor for the minister to share the emperor's worries."

The Red Devil got up and bowed again: "Your Majesty, at this time, there is not yet peace in Jian'an City, the ministers will retreat to clear out the other rebellious parties, and go out of the city to have a look by the way, please ask the emperor to order." ”

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at Bijiao: "Let's go together, bring your people with you, I will be fine here." ”

The Red Devil hesitated: "Your Majesty, let Bijiao stay and protect the Emperor." ”
