Chapter 43: Attack on the way back to the palace
"There are assassins!" Ruyi shouted loudly, and at the same time, this guy leaned over and was already lying on the ground.
The accompanying guard's long knife was unsheathed, and the cold light ran through the night, tightly guarding the small sedan chair, but in an instant, the feather arrows rained down, and they came one after another, and the two little eunuchs who carried the sedan chair were the first to bear the burden, and were shot alive by the feather arrows, and the screams before death were extremely miserable in the dark. Immediately after, the eight guards who accompanied him also fell in the feather arrows.
The small sedan chair fell to the ground, Leng Yue listened to the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air in her ears, held the body of a little eunuch carrying a sedan chair, and stood in front of her, like a gecko, curled up on the ground, just now when Ruyi yelled with a thorny face, she had already put the white cloak on her body in turn, this cloak is black and white, black in the dark, very suitable for concealing identity.
According to the faint light in the darkness, her gaze fell on the little eunuch in front of her, and five or six feathered arrows had been shot into his body, the problem was, the style of this arrowβshe knew it too well!
Only the army and the forbidden army use such feather arrows, and the forbidden army is under Ling Tian's management, so it is impossible for the forbidden army to attack her, so today's interceptor is a military person.
In the dark, Leng Yue quietly reached out and touched one of the feather arrows, and sure enough, on the arrow of the feather arrow, she felt the flower print, and told her through touch that her judgment was not wrong. So he pulled out a broken section with a mark and put it in his arms, and the king was awake, but very well-behaved, quietly held by Leng Yue.
Leng Yue scolded secretly in her heart, these people completely wanted her and the life of the king, eight guards and two little eunuchs carrying sedan chairs, the screams of death spread far and wide, why at this time, there were no guards from the capital to come to help?
The feather arrows seemed to be like this, and after the rain of arrows, everything fell into a dead silence, but Leng Yue didn't dare to move, with her intuition, she knew that it was not so simple.
Sure enough, after a while, she heard footsteps, the footsteps were very uniform, many people walked, but the pace was unified, how could I hear the past, it seemed to be a person's footsteps, and then, the footsteps stopped not far from her, a nice voice, but at this moment said coldly: "Check the number of people, see if there are still alive, no one is left!" β
"Yes!" The other people, with neat accents, also agreed together.
No, this person's voice, Leng Yueran, she has definitely heard this person's voice, but who it is, she can't remember at all, and the problem is that now she is not investigating who this murderer is, but she must save her life first.
In an instant, Leng Yue desperately sought a way to get out, just now she climbed down from the sedan chair, covered by the darkness, and could hide behind others, and now, these experienced military personnel will soon search for her, and when the time comes, she will be in a catastrophe. But she wanted to break her head, and she couldn't think of any way to escape from the hands of these vicious soldiers.
"Help......" Suddenly, Ruyi's shrill voice came out far away in the darkness.
"Ruyi is still alive!" Seeing this, Leng Yue was overjoyed, but then she was gloomy, Ruyi deliberately made a voice for her to attract the enemy's attention, then he could only end up dead!
"There's still a living mouth, huh!" The man snorted coldly, and the sword light was like lightning in the dark, slashing at Ruyi's neck.
Seeing that Ruyi's head was about to fall to the ground, at this time, a cold laugh suddenly came from the darkness. The laughter was so abrupt that it caught people off guard.
Something, hit the knife light hard, Ruyi escaped death, and picked up a life from the gap in the blade, but he was already so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.
"Who's the master?" The man at the head shouted coldly.
"Old friend, we're meeting again!" In the darkness, someone slowly stood up from the corpse, carrying a knife in his hand, reflecting the cold glow of the moonlight.
Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, Nian Jiuling did not die. In an instant, she was overjoyed.
"Who are you?" He smiled again: "No matter who you are, you must leave your life today!" β
"What? I forgot my old friends after a few years of not seeing each other! Nian Jiuling sneered, like a flying swallow, and walked away at the voice.
"Nine years old? Are you nine years old? The man recognized Nian Jiuling, and his voice was filled with disbelief.
Leng Yue still didn't dare to move, the other party brought a lot of people, and it was difficult to deal with so many people by relying on Nian Jiuling.
"She's alive!" Finally, someone found Leng Yue, a soldier wearing heavy armor, a hat on his head, and a black cloth, only showing his eyes, the long knife picked open the corpse in front of Leng Yue, and then was shocked to find that she was still alive to read the whole book, so she hid under the corpse with the child in her arms.
But then, the poor unfortunate bastard felt a faint aroma diffuse, and immediately after, the man screamed and fell to the ground.
Leng Yue took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the ground, thank God, the poison prepared by Nian Jiuling really had a miraculous effect, and this first unlucky egg was solved like this.
One of the soldiers on the opposite side walked up to the dead soldier, and when he looked at it, he already understood that this person was dead. But the problem is, can't you even tell how he died?
"Kill this witch!" Ten people, ten cold and shining knives, surrounded Cold Moon. Wrap it up little by little.
The night breeze blew, and the black cloak of the cold moon was blown up, hunting and dancing, revealing her luxurious long dress, standing awe-inspiring, and the moonlight shrouded her whole body, delicate as a demon!
In the face of such a weak woman, the ten battle-hardened soldiers didn't dare to step forward rashly, and the overly calm smile on her face made them a little frightened, so they didn't dare to be careless at all, and the eighteen cold and shining knives pressed step by step. The circle is getting smaller......
The moonlight shone on Leng Yue's face, and her face was pale and calm: "Many people want me to die, but I'm still alive!" The voice was a little erratic, and it had a creepy feeling in this eerie dark night.
"You won't survive tonight!" The leader sneered.
"You're wrong! Just a few dozen of you, you may not be able to keep me! In mid-air, there was the sound of clothes cutting through the air, Leng Yue's smile was unusual, and in the dark, her big eyes shone brightly.
The leader knew that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, release the arrow!" β
However, it was too late, and the cold light fell from the sky in mid-air, the sword aura was like a rainbow, and the screams were endless...... Two men in black, two swords, wherever the sword light goes, mercilessly harvesting life.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Everyone receded like a tide, scattered in the corners of the surroundings, the two black-clothed people did not chase, the cold light flashed, the clothes crossed the air, and the two stood quietly beside Leng Yue.
Chapter 44: After the catastrophe, he lived for the rest of his life
The man in the lead made a false move towards Nian Jiuling, his body shook, and he disappeared into the darkness, full of messes, with countless casualties......
"Mother." Ruyi got up from the ground tremblingly, wanting to come over to help Leng Yue.
"We're alive!" Leng Yue smiled faintly.
"Yes, we're all alive!" Nian Jiuling walked over and pulled a smile.
Leng Yue said to the two beside him, "Why are you here?" β
Ling Tian smiled, "How did you know we were here?" β
Lin Wenlang put away his sword and said, "Yes, why are you so calm? β
Leng Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just think it's cool." β
The three men laughed, but they didn't pay attention to the three black lines on the king's head.
Ling Tian said: "It was the emperor who asked me to come and see why you haven't returned to the palace yet, and I met the second brother halfway, so I came together." β
Leng Yue glanced at the black clothes on their bodies, who are you fooling! How can there be a chance encounter and wear a night suit at the same time, since you don't want to say it, forget it.
Ling Tian knew that Leng Yue was suspicious, and hurriedly explained: "I was indeed asked by the emperor, and the emperor meant to let me protect it secretly, so I dressed like this." He was the same when I met my second brother, and we didn't make an appointment. β
Lin Wenlang's face turned red, and he said with a wry smile: "I just came out of the queen, and I originally wanted to find the letters between the queen and the Jialan Kingdom, but I didn't find the palace maid who alarmed the night vigil, so I had to run out." When we met the third brother, we didn't know each other's identities, and we had a few tricks! β
Ling Tian smiled: "At that time, I thought it was an assassin, hehe, but the second brother's martial arts have improved a lot, is there any secret?" β
Lin Wenlang's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and then he said haha: "That's your second brother and I are diligent, where did I get the secret?" β
Leng Yue didn't want to listen to the two of them continue to talk nonsense, and said, "Who wants to kill me?" The leader was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. β
Nian Jiuling's lips moved, but he didn't speak, Ling Tian said, "Hurry up and go back, the palace is not far from here, why doesn't anyone come?" β
Leng Yue snorted and said, "How can it be an ordinary person who can buy a soldier to assassinate me?" β
Lin Wenlang patted Leng Yue's shoulder and said, "I'm going back, be careful in the future." β
Seeing Lin Wenlang leave, Leng Yue walked to the palace with King Xi in her arms. After entering, Ling Tian found a sedan chair to send Leng Yue back, while he went to dispose of the corpses outside.
When Leng Yue returned to Huiyue Palace in a small sedan chair, she was unexpectedly found that the emperor was actually waiting for her, and seeing her embarrassed appearance, the emperor was immediately shocked, and was busy taking her hand, and looked at it carefully, the long skirt was stained with spots of blood, and it was broken several pieces, in addition, Leng Yue's arm also had blood marks.
"Aifei, what's the matter?" The emperor said urgently.
Leng Yue sighed, "It's so dangerous tonight, I almost didn't come back." Your Majesty, have you told others about my departure from the palace? Leng Yue asked a little suspiciously, but she didn't expect that when she left, she encountered an assassin. She was very suspicious in her heart that there was a mole around her.
"I'm not stupid, how can I tell others about your departure from the palace?" The emperor shook his head and said, "Concubine Ai, what's the problem?" "He is also a smart person, Leng Yue said this, which naturally means that there are traitors among their own people.
Leng Yue thought for a while, shook her head and said: "No one in the palace knows, the rest of the people are all arranged by the emperor, but they are all dead, so they are definitely not traitors." β
The emperor frowned and thought deeply, Nian Jiuling and Ruyi brought hot water and clothes at this time, and Leng Yue simply changed and washed. Long Xi was sitting on the bed, and when he saw the emperor coming, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and grabbed the emperor's beard and said with a smile: "Father!" β
The emperor's eyes were full of surprise, this child is only a few months, he can be called his father, he happily hugged Long Xi and kissed him, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being my son, he is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely be a generation of Ming Jun in the future." β
Leng Yue cleaned up, came over and said with a smile: "Other people's concubines don't dare to say it, but this kid is definitely the emperor's blood and bones, you see, he has a flame birthmark on the center of his foot, which is the same as the emperor's touch." β
The emperor looked at it, his face changed, as if he remembered something, he put Long Xi in Leng Yue's arms and said, "I still have something, Concubine Ai should rest first." β
Watching the emperor leave in a hurry, Leng Yue vaguely sensed something, but he couldn't talk nonsense without evidence.
On the second day, Zuo Xiang came, and his face was very bad. Leng Yue hugged King Xi and looked at him, and after a long time, Zuo Xiang said, "Fortunately, your life is hard enough." β
Leng Yue smiled: "I'm a demon concubine, where is it so easy to die?" β
Zuo Xiang said with a sullen face: "The prince has gone too far this time. β
Leng Yue thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure it's the crown prince?" On the contrary, I doubt the Queen Mother! β
Zuo Xiang glanced at Leng Yue and said, "The Queen Mother won't kill you, otherwise she wouldn't have put the four maids she cultivated in your palace to protect you." β
Leng Yue was surprised a lot this time, and asked, "The Queen Mother is protecting me?" How do you know it's not surveillance? β
Zuo Xiang waved his hand, as if he didn't want to dwell on this topic: "Don't talk about that, the emperor gave me a secret fold today and asked me to investigate the prince." β
"Oh, how could the emperor give such an order?" Cold Moon is strange.
Zuo Xiang said: "The prince's deeds in recent years have not been very good, and the emperor has long wanted to tear off his title as the prince, but first, he is afraid of the queen, and second, there is no better heir." Now that the queen and the crown prince have broken up, and the king is born again, the emperor's heart has begun to waver. β
Leng Yue was very curious about what happened between the prince and the queen, so she asked, "What's wrong with the queen and the prince?" β
Zuo Xiang said in surprise: "You don't know? You didn't even know such a sensational thing? β
Leng Yue said with a black line on her face: "How do I know! After the miscarriage was in a coma for a few days, who knows what happened. Besides, the crown prince and the queen are not very close in the first place, who would have thought that something would happen to them. β
Zuo Xiang smiled: "It's the old minister who is confused, it's what happened in the days when you were unconscious." At that time, the emperor was almost angry to death, but fortunately, the prince was clever and did not continue to make trouble. β
Leng Yue rolled her eyes and said, "It's really unreasonable that no one told me about such a big thing." β
Zuo Xiang stroked his beard and smiled: "Probably because I'm afraid that you're worried, you're weak, and it's for your good not to tell you." β
Leng Yue was curious, and asked, "Say it quickly, say it quickly, what's going on?" β
Zuo Xiang deliberately sold Guanzi, looking at the empty teacup, Leng Yue hurriedly poured tea for him with his own hands as if flattering. Only then did Zuo Xiang speak: "After Ni fell into a coma that day, the emperor called all the imperial doctors in the palace to Huiyue Palace, but those imperial doctors thought that Niangniang couldn't survive and knelt on the ground. Fortunately, the red magpie beside you can also heal and help you slip the fetus and stop the bleeding. The emperor saw the fetus floating in the blood water of the wooden barrel and shed tears, and the minister had never seen the emperor so sad. At this moment, the prince came running and ......" The old man deliberately paused and drank tea from his teacup.
