Chapter 36: Arrows on a Moonlit Night
Halfway up the hill, lanterns hang on the sides of an attic, swaying from side to side in the wind.
The night gradually fell, Gong Huan stood at the highest place in the attic, his eyes looked in the direction of Luzhou Palace, and he saw nothing in his eyes except for the lanterns rising on the street.
"All the people at the border will be transferred, and they will be brought out of Yunyin tonight." Although he could only see the dim light of the Luzhou Palace, he still looked in that direction.
Gong Ran stepped forward, looked in the direction he was looking at, and said, "Second brother, I have lost my hand in the daytime, will it be too risky to go again tonight?" ”
Gong Huan turned around and glanced at him, looked at the several Haoyue Palace men who were standing with their heads bowed, and said coldly: "The deity will go in person tonight." ”
"Second brother...."Gong Ran turned around and shouted urgently, walked in front of him and looked at him, but his cold eyes blocked what he wanted to say behind him.
Several men also looked up at Gong Huan one after another, their eyes showed surprise, and when they saw that his face was no longer negotiable, they lowered their heads and remained silent.
Gong Huan turned around and took the mask in his hand and went down to the attic. Presumably, Gu Hanxuan was already preparing to return to the palace, if Mu Yunche, who was on vacation two days later, was discovered, her side would definitely be on guard at that time. If you don't take her out tonight, it will be difficult to take her away in the future. Thinking of this, his steps couldn't help but be more brisk.
The bright moon that rose high was half covered by the clouds, and the courtyard where the original silver-white moonlight poured was suddenly darkened at this moment.
The clouds slowly drifted across the sky, and when the moonlight fell on the courtyard again, a man was already standing at the gate of the courtyard.
He was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, and his indifferent face gradually transformed into tenderness when he looked at Mu Yunqi.
Mu Yunqi watched Gu Hanxuan approach with steps, his eyes unwavering.
"There is a banquet in the palace tonight, King Yi and the future princess are here for the banquet, you can go with me to have a lively time." Gu Hanxuan said softly, looking at her calmly.
Mu Yunqi was slightly stunned, she had never heard that Gu Hanyi had set a princess before, but for her, it had nothing to do with her, she and Gu Hanyi just had a fight in the snow four years ago, and there was no intersection, and she had no intention of seeing his princess.
"What does this excitement have to do with me?" She couldn't understand why he was now acting as if nothing had happened when he had clearly left today.
Gu Hanxuan stood under the railing, looked at her with his hands down, and stopped talking.
The courtyard was silent, Mu Yunqi didn't look at him, looking up at the night sky where the bright moon was hanging, anyone who saw this scene would definitely be able to see the yearning in her eyes.
After a few moments, he slowly turned around and walked away.
Mu Yunqi was in the dark night, looking at his lonely and departing figure by the moonlight, his heart was filled with a faint sadness, as if it was for him and for himself.
In the courtyard, except for the silvery moonlight pouring in the sky, there were no lights on, and the soldiers outside the courtyard surrounded the courtyard, wrapping the courtyard layer by layer, which made her unhappy but helpless.
She stood in the railing, looking up at the night sky, the clouds covered the full moon and scattered. Her red dress was not half bright under the moonlight, like the black and red after blood clotting, with a cloudy and dim color.
Yingtang lit the candles in the room, and the dim light shined out of the house through the window lattice, illuminating a bright color.
Mu Yunqi lowered his head and groaned, and stepped into the room.
"Miss, rest early." Yingtang gently lowered her bun to her waist, and her hair was scattered like ink and green silk.
She nodded, got up and went to the couch, ordered Yingtang to extinguish the candle and sleep sideways.
Yingtang stood on tiptoe to extinguish the candle, and the room fell into darkness.
Before she could get out of the door, there was a sudden sound of roof tiles being trampled on the eaves, and she immediately turned to look at the couch.
The moment Mu Yunqi heard the sound, he had already put on his clothes and walked quickly to the door.
Several black-clothed people fell from the sky in the courtyard, and it could be seen in the moonlight that the man who was the leader was wearing a mask, and Mu Yunqi's heart suddenly lifted.
The masked man quickly stepped up to the door, led Mu Yunqi and hurriedly flew to the eaves.
The sentry who had already watched the observation post in the distance blew a whistle, and the soldiers outside the courtyard quickly entered the courtyard with their swords raised and blocked the courtyard gate.
The sound of orderly strides forward, as well as the sound of armor running-in, sounded especially loud in the silent night.
The firelight that was getting closer and closer came towards the courtyard.
The archers who were lying in ambush stood up at the right time, drew their bowstrings, and pointed their arrows at the courtyard.
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, not wanting Gu Hanxuan to prepare such a big battle.
More and more night people appeared on the eaves, jumping down in the courtyard one after another, blocking in front of Mu Yunqi and the masked man.
Before the two of them could fly onto the eaves, sharp arrows struck the courtyard like rain, and the sound of the blades resisting the arrows was piercing.
"Second brother, take Xiaoyin first." Gong Ran stood in front of the two of them, and the soft sword swayed the sharp arrows shot from afar.
The soldiers at the gate of the courtyard spread out, and Gu Hanxuan stepped into the courtyard with his hands in his hands, followed by King Yi and the others.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his vague gaze shot straight at the two people on the eaves in the night, and he raised his hand, and the rain of arrows stopped.
Mu Yunqi turned to look at him, only to see that he snatched the bow and arrow from the soldiers beside him, and pointed at Gong Huan, a lone arrow came towards him. Frightened, she leapt to her feet and threw him down, tumbling down from the eaves.
In mid-air, Gong Huan's hand wrapped around her, hugged her into his arms, and the two fell to the ground.
Gu Hanxuan's eyes were stung by the scene when she blocked the arrow, and his heart was like a knife, he frowned and looked at her arm, which was cut through a long gap by a sharp arrow.
Mu Yunqi looked sideways at the wound on her arm and smiled sarcastically, in just one day, she was injured twice.
"You want to go with him?" Although Gu Hanxuan asked her, his cold-blooded eyes looked at Gong Huan, the mask covered his face, but he could see that his exposed eyes were cold.
The four looked at each other, and the two looked at each other with a lightning light, making the people around them dare not step forward.
Mu Yunqi hesitated, and then said, "Let them go, I'll stay." ”
Gu Hanxuan sneered, the corners of his mouth hooked up with self-irony, and he looked at her coldly and said, "Mu Yunqi, if you want to leave, I will let you go, but I'm afraid it's not that easy." After saying that, he took a step back, and dozens of secret guards rushed forward, and he said, "Bring the queen out and release the arrows." ”
The dark guards swarmed up, blending into the team of the men in black, and fiercely clashed in the courtyard, the swords and swords shook in the moonlight, their faces were fierce, and their hands were quick and vicious.
Mu Yunqi didn't have time to think about it, followed into the camp of the man in black, and attacked the dark guard.
As she struggled with one of the guards, a blast of force slammed into her chest, knocking her to the ground.
"Queen."
"Yun Yin."
The two voices shouted at the same time, and they rushed to Mu Yunqi's side.
She had an arrow stuck in her chest, and the tail of the arrow shook as it struck her.
"Second brother, let's go." Gong Ran stepped forward and scuffled with Gu Hanxuan.
The people at the gate of the courtyard all flew into the courtyard, hundreds of men fought in this small courtyard, the emperor Yiwang and others were in the courtyard, no one dared to shoot arrows in the distance, and no one could enter the courtyard.
Gong Huan's hands holding Mu Yunqi trembled slightly, his face was as terrifying as a hell Shura, and the moment he flew up to the eaves, he glanced fiercely in the direction of the bow and arrow, and walked out of the palace under the escort of Gong Ran.
After Gu Hanxuan chased after the palace, there was no one in his sight, thinking of Mu Yunqi's appearance of falling from an arrow, his heart was pierced like a thousand needles, painful and angry, and roared in place like crazy.
On the platform of the palace, a woman saw that Mu Yunqi, who was holding a sharp arrow in his chest, had left, and a vicious smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
