Chapter 445: The Assassin Appears
The appearance of the two is quite compatible at first glance-
One is a tall, handsome, unruly handsome general, and the other is a pink-faced beauty with gentle intentions and bright eyes and bright teeth. When they talk together, there is an indescribable sense of harmony.
During the banquet, everyone finally came back to their senses and was in an uproar.
Some of the concubines disdain, some sympathize, and some secretly hate that it is not themselves who are chosen.
Some officials regretted that their daughters and granddaughters could not be able to enter Jiang Ye's eyes, and at the same time bowed their hands to Xia Jingzhi with mixed feelings.
As for the Xia family?
For the Xia family, there is no more suffocating news than this.
Xia Jingzhi's face darkened at that time.
He rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Xia Qingyang's brother Xia Zhike clenched his fists, his eyes were on fire, if it weren't for Xia Qingyang's sister-in-law blocking him, he probably could rush up directly and punch Jiang Ye.
The daughter (sister) who was looking forward to returning home once finally regained her sanity and could call their names, and she was going to marry into a neighboring country, and the object was still such a vagabond with a very bad reputation?!
Acting in full set. Jiang Ye took Xia Qingyang's wrist and took her to Ren Fu to ask for an order.
With this will, Ren Fu has no way to regret it afterwards.
Xia Qingyang knelt down at the foot of the stairs, raised his eyes inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of the corner of his clothes peeking out from Ren Fulong's chair.
"Hahaha, you didn't see the expression of the surnamed Gu just now, you really laughed to death." Daojun sat back in his chair and shook his legs with joy.
"What expression?"
Xia Qingyang asked in his heart, but Daojun refused to say anything, and only smiled hehehe.
Xia Qingyang pondered for a moment, and his heart was a little drumming.
He shouldn't be misunderstood......
Ren Fu didn't care about Xia Qingyang's whereabouts, he made an order casually.
Empress Yin was a little anxious, and wanted to stop her twice, but after receiving Xia Qingyang's eyes, she quickly figured out the reason.
In this way, General Chiang returned to his seat with a holy decree and his "new wife."
"Come and sit with me." General Chiang pointed to the edge of his seat.
Xia Qingyang turned his head to look at Concubine An Guifei, who was almost about to flinch the table, thanked General Jiang for his kindness in a low voice, and returned to his original seat.
"What's going on? How did you agree? As soon as she came back, Concubine An Guifei really couldn't help but ask again and again.
Xia Qingyang explained the reason in her ear softly, and only then did she appease Concubine An.
"Then what should Sister Yin and I do. I'm going to leave the palace too! ”
Concubine An was afraid that Xia Qingyang would leave them behind. Just like in the previous copy, after they separated, it took a long time for them to see each other again.
Xia Qingyang teased her: "Then why didn't you promise General Jiang just now?" ”
"I—I'm not that smart, how could I expect so much."
Concubine An Guifei grabbed Xia Qingyang's arm, and she wanted to think of a way to take herself out of the palace as well.
"Okay, you can wait for me to think about it."
-
After this little episode, the palace feast continued.
The next performance is Huangmei Opera.
Because the Queen Mother likes to listen to operas, this time, the Internal Affairs Office, which hosted the palace banquet, specially found the best opera troupe in the capital to perform on stage.
The actors took the stage one after another, either reading or singing, and there was a play between their eyebrows and eyes, and the story was particularly moving. It has won praise several times.
At this point, the palace banquet finally ushered in a small climax, and the atmosphere rose.
"--Suddenly I saw the evil dragon playing in the water on the wall, I couldn't help but scatter my soul, and a layer of blood and skin under a cane, beating me wow, my flesh and blood were dripping, and my heart wanted to be destroyed——"
The actor who played Dou E had tears in his eyes, turned his head to the simple public hall built on the stage, as if he wanted to seek reason from the government, and walked quickly towards the court, singing as he walked, "The sky is cloudy, the ground is dark, and who are you complaining to." There is no justice in the hateful court—"
Everyone was immersed in her performance, completely substituting a feeling of hatred and grief.
No one thought that at this moment, the actor suddenly stepped up, crossed the stage, and killed Ren Fu who was seated a few meters away.
I saw a knife out of her cuffs, and the blade glowed with cold light, straight towards Ren Fu's heart.
"Stop!" Ren Yi had long been ready to capture the assassin.
Although it was contrary to her expectations, this assassin was not in the mission, but from the folk troupe, she still stopped him as soon as possible, and flew and kicked him.
The dodge of the play is very timely, and it has obviously been practiced.
It's a pity that compared with the battle-hardened Ren Yi, the three-legged cat's kung fu in the play is completely insufficient. After about two or three breaths, the knife in her hand was kicked away by Ren Yi.
Seeing that the assassination was hopeless, the actor looked back desperately at her colleagues in the troupe, muttered something, and then the molars strained hard, and without the slightest hesitation, they bit the poison entrained between the teeth.
"Wait ......" Ren Yi wanted to stop it but didn't have time, so she could only hold the actor's wrist and watch her body fall down.
"Your Majesty!!" Only then did many officials react to what was happening, and hurriedly got up, dodged and dodged, and showed loyalty and loyalty.
But in fact, Ren Fu was protected by the guards for the first time, and he was very safe.
Xia Qingyang took advantage of the chaos to come to Ren Yi's side and asked in a low voice: "Something is wrong, Your Highness, why are you from the opera troupe?" ”
The most important thing is that she can be pretty sure that this play is not a player.
Could it be that there was more than one group of people present who wanted to assassinate Ren Fu?
Xia Qingyang and Ren Yi thought of this at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, both of them understood that something was wrong.
Ren Yi immediately scolded everyone to disperse and return to their original positions not to move.
But it was still a step too late, and several figures had already taken advantage of the panic of the crowd to approach Ren Fu.
Show one’s true colors in the end. As soon as these people's weapons lit up, they immediately frightened the people who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are assassins, protect Your Majesty!" Ren Yi finished shouting, and casually dragged an official who was blocking the way to the side and pressed him down.
I saw that these assassins were surrounded by black cloths, and they held shiny scimitars in their hands, and they were all well-trained.
In a few short encounters with the guards, the blade could slash the throat of the guards, and blood splattered.
Seeing this, everyone screamed and scattered.
There were eight assassins, six of whom were heading for Ren Fu and two towards the Empress Dowager Qu Rushuang.
Qu Rushuang didn't have as many guards around him as Ren Fu, but fortunately, Ren Yi arrived in time and blocked the knives of the two assassins with the strength of one person, protecting Qu Rushuang behind him.
After a few cuts, Ren Yi didn't expect that with his own strength, it would be so difficult to deal with these two assassins.
She also wanted to be distracted by Qu Rushuang's situation, but one of the assassins grabbed the flaw and threw something in her face.
I saw Jiang Ye suddenly appear, and while pushing Ren Yi away, he threw off the coat he didn't know when he took off, blocking all the powder.
"Be careful yourself." Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows, and wanted to be handsome.
As a result, Ren Yi forced the assassin back with a knife while drinking him: "Isn't General Jiang supposed to explain - why are there so many assassins in your country's mission?!" ”
Belch. Jiang Ye touched his nose, didn't dare to skin it again, snatched the knife of the guard on the side and came to help her.
