Chapter 83: Phoenix Life Oiran: Lord Wang, please respect yourself 38
"It's not good to have assassins."
As the dagger was knocked to the ground, the hall suddenly became a pot of porridge, and the Imperial Guards quickly surrounded the emperor in the middle, while the other ministers were guarded by soldiers.
"Tick", a drop of juice on the dagger fell to the ground, and the floor quickly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a short time a hole about the thickness of a little finger appeared in place.
"It's so poisonous."
Everyone who saw this scene sighed, and Xu Xingchao, who was regarded as a target, was even more frightened to sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Although Xu Xingchao is five big and three and loves to ride horses, he is really a scholar without any martial arts, and he can't help but feel irresistible in his heart for these people who can take his life with a wave of his hand.
"Whoa", Xu Mengyao held the saber on the waist of the soldier closest to him in his hand, and his slender arm blocked Xu Xingchao in front of him.
Xu Xingchao looked at Xu Mengyao who was blocking in front of him, and his heart was both guilty and relieved.
And Xu Mengyao doesn't care about this, because the task released by the system says that it is necessary to protect Xu Xingchao's safety, all ......
Whoever dares to follow my mission but can't get along with him, I can't get along with him!
"The true character of the hero of the phoenix life Oiran, as a person with strong martial arts, how can he allow Xu Xingchao to die in front of him? Requirements: Protect Xu Xingchao until the end of the banquet, task reward: Phoenix Life Oiran Set 12 [Hero True Colors], reward: Primary lottery once. ”
After a long time, there was no next move, and it seemed that the assassin left after failing once.
But Xu Mengyao knew that this person must not have left yet, and if he really left, the system would not set the time until the banquet was over.
In other words, this killer will be waiting for an opportunity somewhere in the hall before the banquet, and the target of the mission must be Xu Xingchao.
"Check! Be sure to check it out! The palace unknowingly entered such an assassin. ”
The emperor was also frightened at this time, although the target of the assassination was not himself, but he was still uneasy.
The longer you live, the more you cherish your life, let alone the emperor who has always been in a high position.
While everyone was looking around with a tense expression, Xu Mengyao sat on the seat with a big grin, picked up chopsticks and ate slowly.
He didn't seem to be aware of the assassination at all.
Xu Mengyao, who received everyone's gaze, finally raised her head and looked around, "Eh, I haven't eaten anything since morning, you go on, don't look at me." ”
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and even the emperor's corners of his mouth twitched slightly at the moment.
"Sit down, all of you, the Imperial Guards will find the Assassin's ......"
The emperor waved his hand and everyone sat down, Xu Mengyao was eating chicken legs while looking at the empty table beside the emperor.
The emperor has been paying attention to Xu Mengyao all the time, and when he saw that Xu Mengyao had been looking at the position beside him, he sighed in his heart, and looked sideways to see that the protagonist of the fourth prince, who was supposed to be sitting here waiting to pick up the wind and wash the dust, was gone.
"Where are the four princes going?"
No one knows where the four princes went, but under the rhythm of Xu Mengyao's silent eating, everyone didn't have to worry too much, after all, the four princes were unreliable except when they went to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
After three rounds of drinking, the right minister and several bureaucrats who came over drank and talked happily, and everyone forgot about the assassin.
Xu Mengyao patted her well-fed stomach and squinted her eyes lazily, but the knife she snatched from the soldier was tightly held in her hand and ready to block the assassin's attack at any time.
"Report! The four princes who were seriously injured and unconscious were found in the cold palace, but there were no assassins......"
The anxious voice of the soldier came from outside, and the noise in the house stopped instantly, and the emperor's slightly drunk face immediately became clear.
The soldier stumbled into the palace, his face purple and black, and he fell to the ground limply when he stepped into the palace, with a small dagger stuck in his back.
Xu Mengyao opened her eyes and looked at the soldier, but at the moment when the soldier fell, a dagger flew from behind the soldier towards the right Xiangxin.
"Bang Dang ......"
The figure flashed and the figure still appeared in front of the right phase, the dagger fell at Xu Mengyao's feet, and the venom splashed on the hem of the clothes, corroding small holes.
didn't stop, one by one flew in from outside the palace, frowning slightly.
Why didn't this person come in? Only outside the door?
"Step back."
Looking at several flying knives that had been quenched with poison, I was afraid that if I didn't pay attention to it, when I blocked it, I would hurt the people on the side.
And the people around him only froze for a moment, but they didn't move.
They could already see that this assassin was heading towards the right, not himself or the emperor.
Holding the heart of eating melons, everyone did not retreat, but silently gave way to the palace gate and watched quietly.
Are they all idiots?
Xu Mengyao was so angry in her heart that the daggers that flew with her wrist flipped were all blocked, and several daggers flew out directly and were inserted at the feet of a theater official not far away.
"Ahh My clothes! ”
The woman's screams attracted people's attention, and it was only then that everyone realized that the dagger was quenched with poison, and as long as it was stained a little, it was no different from poisoning.
"So are my clothes."
"Stand back."
The panicked voices were endless, and Xu Mengyao looked at the place where the emperor was sitting, he was no longer there at this time, and he should probably go to see the fourth prince.
"Bai Haocang, you protect the right phase, I will be an assassin."
Xu Mengyao hooked her fingers at someone who was standing aside and eating watermelon with the other princes, and called him by his name as a matter of course, which almost made many ministers and nobles lose their eyes.
What surprised everyone even more was that Bai Haocang actually patted the clothes on his body, and walked towards the right minister, and at some point there was an extra short sword in his hand, looking at this look, he really wanted to protect the right minister.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of the officials and the jealous eyes of the nobles, he stepped like an arrow from the string to meet the dagger that flew again.
As Xu Mengyao approached, everyone retreated to the back as fast as they could, and no one wanted to get closer.
Xu Mengyao was very happy about the interest of these people, but there was a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
Why isn't Mo Xing in the main hall?
Xu Mengyao searched every corner of the palace, but she didn't see Mo Xing's figure at all.
didn't have time to think too much, Xu Mengyao's main thing now was to solve the assassin, otherwise her mission would be in vain.
In the blur, Xu Mengyao saw a black shadow in the distance and left in a panic, glanced at no one around, grabbed it at his waist, took out the leather whip from his backpack, and with the sound of breaking the air, he was a whip to the figure galloping away in the distance.
