The pupils of those eyes were as dark as ever, but I don't know if it was because of the cold of the sword and the bloody smell of the sword around me, I seemed to see a faint ruthlessness in that blackness, which made people's hearts palpitate.

Almost subconsciously, he wanted to dodge, but his hand was still tightly grasped by him.

Because of the injury and blood loss, my whole body was cold, especially my hands were as cold as if they were frozen by ice and snow, but his hands were hot, and my slender wrists were in his palms, almost having the illusion that they were about to be burned or even melted.

I struggled a little, and the next moment, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from the ground.

When I stood up, the person staggered a little and almost fell into his arms, I gritted my teeth to make myself stand firmer, but his hand did not let go, but pulled me closer, looking down at me: "Hurt, is it painful?" ”

His low, cold voice and the temperature of his hands were two completely opposite extremes, and I shuddered slightly by the difference.

Actually, I thought he was going to question me.

The situation was so chaotic just now, maybe no one else would care, but I knew that with his shrewdness, he would not let go of a single detail, and he should have noticed that I had shouted a warning before the assassin attacked, but now that everyone was gone, only us, and the guards around him, he didn't question.

He's not going to ask, or—don't ask?

Thinking of this, my heart throbbed again, and I felt his hand reach over and twist my chin, and gently lift it to make me look at him: "I'm asking you." ”

My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't know what he meant, but his other hand had reached over and wrapped around my waist, allowing me to gently press against his body, and I could feel the slight throbbing of my body as I breathed, and his breath lingered around the tip of my nose, encircling me.

The atmosphere that was originally a little cold because of swords and gore suddenly became a little charming because of his action.

“…… No, it's fine. ”

With that, I gently avoided his hand with an almost soft force and took a step back.

The guards around him, still standing calmly as if they hadn't seen anything, the sun shining in from outside, shining on the hand he was still holding in the air.

Two people, speechless.

I don't know how long it took, and some people slowly became loud below, maybe because the queen, Concubine Li, and Concubine Yun were all gone, but the emperor had not yet gone down to Yaowu Tower, and the ministers were a little worried, at this time Pei Yuanhao turned around, didn't say a word, and walked downstairs.

I breathed a sigh of relief and silently followed.

When I got off Yaowu Tower, I saw that almost all the people on the martial arts field rushed over.

And I followed behind Pei Yuanhao, keeping my head down and carefully protecting the wound on my arm, until I went down the steps, I raised my head gently, and as soon as I raised my head, I subconsciously captured the familiar figure in the crowd.

He stood far away, so far that he was almost lost in the sea of people, but he didn't care about the hustle and bustle around him, and only kept searching with a pair of black and shiny eyes, and there was a little panic in his eyes, as if he was desperate to find something, and the moment my eyes fell on him, the somewhat pale face suddenly had a hint of vitality.

Even though it was so far away, I seemed to hear his voice breathing a sigh of relief.

I reached out and gently stroked my arm, looking at him from afar, and he just looked at me like this and lowered his head.

Silence again.

At this time, the squire of the military department had already walked up with someone, and fell to his knees with a plop: "Emperor, Emperor!" The criminal minister's protection is not effective, the emperor is frightened, and the criminal minister deserves death! Sin deserves death! ”

Pei Yuanhao only glanced at them lightly.

This glance was not harsh, and there was not even too much affection, but those people were already in a cold sweat and kowtowed again and again.

Yaowulou's martial arts test is the main examination of the Ministry of War, although the emperor brought the guards of the Praetorian Guard, but the protection here is still done by the Ministry of War, and the assassins were actually mixed into the team of the test takers, and they almost succeeded, even if they didn't punish the nine clans, their heads were not easy to protect.

"Your Majesty, your majesty forgives your sins!"

Pei Yuanhao still didn't speak, just looked at them condescendingly.

The atmosphere on the martial arts field became more and more solemn, I stood behind him, looking at the tall and wide back, I didn't know what he was thinking for a while, but the group of people who were originally going to walk from the viewing pavilion in the distance saw this scene, hurriedly rushed over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

Pei Yuanhao snorted coldly at this time, and looked at the squire of the military department and said word by word: "Hong Ji, you are so bold!" ”

Hong Shilang was already frightened at this time, kneeling there and kowtowing, the martial arts field was a solid stone slab, and after a while, blood was already splashed on his forehead, and the people who saw it were shocked, but Pei Yuanhao didn't seem to see it, his eyes were like a sword, he looked at him coldly, and said fiercely: "The martial arts imperial examination was originally for our dynasty to select talents, and in the future, he will lead the troops to go out to the battle, and he will pacify the four seas for me, and the generals who will serve in all directions!" You'd be glad to let an assassin blend in with the test takers. If they don't come here today to assassinate me, will they let me pay millions of soldiers to traitors in the future, and put the safety of the whole Celestial Empire above the fire? Hongji, what are you guilty of! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen, Weichen deserves to die......"

"Sin deserves death? Even death will not take away your iniquity! ”

His voice grew higher and higher, and when he said the last sentence, it was as deafening as a thunderbolt, and all the people around him changed their faces with fright, and they knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

I was behind him, too, and I was a little frightened.

Although I always knew that he was not a good-tempered person, but there were really few times when he was so angry, often just his ruthlessness was enough to deter everyone, and now seeing his anger, the ministers around him all dared not take a breath, and stood with bated breath.

"Come on, drag me down, behead!"

As soon as the words fell, the people of the Praetorian Guard had already come up, took off Hong Shilang's official hat and dragged him down, Hong Shilang was already frightened at this time, and struggled desperately to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, the emperor spares your life, the emperor spares your life!" ”

His pleas for mercy were of no avail, and several of the guards had already stepped forward and dragged him away.

Watching Hong Ji being dragged out, the crying gradually faded away, and Pei Yuanhao muttered in a small voice: "It seems that these six parts, I am too late to supervise!" ”

He didn't say this very loudly, but as soon as he said it, it was like lightning and thunder, and the people around him were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath, but when they heard his words, they all widened their eyes in shock, and for a while, the huge martial arts field was so quiet that only the sound of the wind remained.

I don't know how long it took before I heard an old voice slowly sounding-

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

Looking down, it was Shen Gongyi, although Pei Yuanhao was angry, he had to take care of this national abbot in the end, and stretched out his hand: "Master Taifu, hurry up." ”

"Did the emperor hurt the dragon's body?"

"I'm fine."

He was helped up by Pei Yuanhao, and said cautiously: "This time, there are assassins who sneak into the capital, it is really the mistake of the ministers." Fortunately, with the protection of the Praetorian Guard, the emperor's dragon body is unhindered. ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced at him, with a little smile in his eyes, and said: "Praetorian guards escort, that's their duty, this time I was able to escape the assassin's sniping, but it depends on the merit of three people to escort him." ”

"Oh? Which three? ”

Pei Yuanhao smiled slightly, turned his head to look at me, and suddenly the eyes of all the people around fell on me, I was stunned for a moment, and I saw a faint smile on his face: "If it weren't for Qingying just sacrificing his life to protect him, I'm afraid—"

His words were not finished, and he did not need to be finished.

Along with me, all the people changed their faces.

He, call me "Green Baby"!

My current identity is not a concubine, nor a palace maid, but an official of the Jixian Palace, and everyone in the court has to call me "Lord Yue" when they see me, but just now he called me by my name!

The faces of everyone around me became a little delicate, and they all looked at the blood-stained bandages on my hands.

Looking at their appearance, my heart suddenly panicked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to take credit!"

While speaking, I looked at the crowd in a panic, and saw the originally familiar figure, but it seemed that it was really about to be annihilated by the sea of people, listening to the emperor's words, there was no expression on his face, just silently lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered those clear eyes, and he couldn't see anything.

My throat was choked.

The pain in my arm, which I had been able to bear, seemed to be intense all of a sudden, and the pain in my heart and pulse reached my chest, and I could almost feel my face pale, as if the blood in my whole body was about to freeze into ice.

Shen Gongyi also looked at me, with a little smile on his face: "This time, thanks to Lord Yue." ”

“……”

"However, the emperor just said that there are three people who have meritorious service in escorting, but I don't know that the other two are-"

Pei Yuanhao smiled slightly and said, "Come on, pass them forward." ”

Chang Sui obeyed the order and went down immediately, and after a while, he saw Sun Jingfei and Shen Xiaokun being led up.

Sun Jingfei I have seen it before, Shen Xiaokun, a young man, is the first time to look closely, recalling that he was on the Yaowu Tower just now, he really has some ability, especially killing the assassin with one move, not to mention the fierce shot, it is not ordinary people who can have such a deadly ruthlessness; Moreover, he is only eighteen years old, and he has a baby face, round eyes and slightly drooping corners, and he still looks a little childish, but he is tall and has broad shoulders and back, but he has a compelling momentum.

For many years, he has not followed his uncle to help the court, and he has been hiding it before, but this time he is really a blockbuster in the martial arts test.

When Shen Gongyun saw him, he also revealed a little joy: "Xiao Kun has a meritorious escort? ”

"Master Taifu, this nephew of yours has some ability."

When Shen Gongyi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor Xie appreciates it." ”

At this time, Sun Jingfei and Shen Xiaokun also walked up, and the emperor bowed down and thanked him, Pei Yuanhao looked at them and said with a smile: "Very good, you two are on the Yaowu Tower today, but you are showing off your might, one is fierce and fearless to go down the mountain, and the other is as strong and resolute as a newborn calf. ”

When the surrounding ministers heard his words, they immediately shouted in unison: "May the emperor calm the four seas and conquer all directions!" ”

At this time, someone in the crowd whispered: "So, who is Wu Zhuangyuan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at these two people in unison.

My heart chuckled, too.

Today is the competition of Wu Zhuangyuan, but just now an assassin came out to assassinate, completely messing up the last competition, Sun Jingfei and Shen Xiaokun, who is today's Wu Zhuangyuan?
