Chapter 4: The Sudden Assassin (2)
Seeing that the soft sword in her hand was taken off, the dancer quickly took out a short arrow from her sleeve and shot it hard, only to see that Qin Jian raised his hand slightly, and his index and middle fingers clamped the short arrow.
Qin Jian is Xiao Huangyu's personal guard, and is specifically responsible for protecting Xiao Huangyu's personal safety. He is usually in places where others can't see, but when Xiao Huangyu encounters danger, he will definitely appear in time. Just like it is now.
He flipped his body slightly, and the hands that imprisoned the dancer pressed him to the ground.
The ministers and concubines were all nervous and scared, but Xiao Huangyu was the only one who looked lazy and lazy when he was used to seeing strong winds and waves.
If he wasn't afraid, he wasn't. It's just that habit has become natural.
In the past year, there have been more than a dozen assassinations of him in various ways!
On average, it's almost once a month!
All the fears and tensions are indifferent in the face of so many times.
Other people's emotions are not already, but the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was already frightened into a cold sweat when he saw the scene just now, and the whole person almost knelt on the ground.
Although the dancer was shackled by Qin Jian, she raised her head with all her might, glared at Xiao Huangyu with resentment on her face, and shouted loudly: "Dog Emperor......"
A "snap" slap was thrown on the dancer's fair-skinned and handsome face, and Xiao Tang, the eunuch beside Xiao Huangyu, scolded: "Shut up! How dare you insult the emperor? ”
Xiao Huangyu saw the red mark on the assassin's face that was thrown by Xiao Tang, met his eyes full of hatred, sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Take him down first." ”
If something like this happened, this birthday banquet naturally couldn't be held, everyone retreated, and Xiao Huangyu and the concubines in the harem also went back to their own residences.
This time it was really a good thing to do a bad thing, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites looked uneasy. The soldier who walked with him looked at him and asked with concern, "Master Li, what's wrong with you?" His face looked very pale, wasn't he frightened by the assassin assassinating the emperor just now? ”
Because he was afraid that others would steal the credit, he planned this time completely by himself, and even the squire of the military department, who had always been good friends with him, did not tell him.
Now he was really scared in his heart, and since the soldier squire asked, he thought it would be better to discuss it with him.
"Actually......" Li Ren finally said after a long time, "I specially found those dancers to perform for the emperor." ”
The squire of the military department was surprised: "The assassin ......"
Li Ren hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't know about that assassin. I really don't know exactly when he disguised himself among those dancers and then took the opportunity to assassinate the emperor. You have to trust me! ”
Although he was a little slippery, he had always been cowardly, and he dared to collude with the assassins to murder the emperor.
The squire of the military department was friendly with him, so he naturally understood him, and said: "I naturally believe you, but those dancers were arranged by you, and there was an assassin matter, so it is difficult for others to believe you, especially our emperor." ”
Li Ren rubbed his head, looked miserable, and sighed: "If I knew this, I might as well do those things to please the emperor!" ”
Now there is definitely no hope for promotion, and he can't even take his little life!
Xiao Huangyu went back to Yongning Palace, as if nothing had happened, sitting leisurely on the soft couch, and casually picking up a novel of Zhiwei that he hadn't finished reading this morning.
