Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, he and Ziyin shrank their necks in fright, and the two of them lowered their heads, and no one dared to say more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoShangguan Xiu was drinking chicken soup when a disciple of Tongtianmen came over, came to Shangguan Xiu's side, bowed and saluted, and said, "My Majesty, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Shangguan Xiu put down the soup bowl in his hand, stood up, and walked towards Tang Ling's carriage. After walking out of a few people, he suddenly stood still, looked sideways at the Tongtianmen disciple walking beside him, and asked, "I don't seem to have seen you before, are you a newcomer?"

The lord laughed, the villain has been by His Majesty's side for two years. The Tongtianmen disciple bowed respectfully and replied. "It's normal for adults to have a lot of opportunities every day, and it's normal not to remember villains. ”

There are too many people around Tang Ling, female officials, palace maids, Praetorian Guards, Duwei Mansion, Tongtianmen, etc., how can Shangguan Xiu remember them all clearly. He shrugged his shoulders, didn't ask, walked to Tang Ling's carriage, and jumped up.

When he entered the carport and saw Tang Ling lying lazily on the soft couch with a few plates of snacks in front of him, he smiled and asked, "Xiang'er looking for me?"

"Didn't you say that you only went out for a walk, why didn't you come back as soon as you went out?" Tang Ling asked dissatisfiedly.

Shangguan Xiu could clearly feel Tang Ling's changes in himself.

Before Beijun in the future, although Tang Ling often summoned him, he didn't stick to him, but when he arrived in Beijun automatically, Tang Ling almost tied him to his side, this feeling made Shangguan Xiu feel sweet and helpless at the same time. Bai Plating means that hey, the eye brother closes the mouth and heart chapter

He said, "I just caught a pheasant in the woods. ”

"So you ate it outside!" Tang Ling asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

"It was delicious. ”

"I want to try it too. ”

Tang Ling has always been a very rigid and dogmatic person, unless there is really no way, she never eats outside food.

Even if she eats in the palace, she is also cautious, no matter how much food she hates, she will eat three bites, no matter how much food she likes, she will never eat more than three bites, even Shangguan Xiu, she doesn't know Tang Ling's specific preferences in terms of diet.

This is the least consciousness of being an emperor, never revealing his preferences, so that he will not give others a chance to take advantage of it, even if someone wants to poison her diet, there is no way to start.

Being an emperor is not free, he is constrained by many rules and regulations, and even when to sleep and when to get up have clear regulations, and these regulations have their own reasons, Tang Ling has always strictly abided by.

Now when he heard her say that she wanted to eat the game that Xiao Jue hunted, Shangguan Xiu was very surprised, and after thinking about it, he also understood that it was Xiang'er who trusted herself more and more, and because she trusted herself, she naturally trusted the people around him.

Thinking of this, the smile on Shangguan Xiu's face deepened a little, and he said, "I'll go get some." ”

"Just let the people below pick it up. ”

"I'd better go on my own. It didn't take long for Shangguan Xiu to return to the carriage with a bowl of hot chicken soup, handed it to Tang Ling, and said with a smile: "Xiang'er tastes it." ”

"It smells pretty good. Tang Ling drank a little bit first, and the fresh aroma of the chicken immediately spread in his mouth, which was endlessly memorable.

She smiled and bent her bright eyes, and said, "It's delicious, Xiao Jue will hunt wild meat again in the future, remember to ask him to send me a copy." ”

Shangguan Xiu responded with a hello, sat down beside her, picked up a piece of dim sum casually, and put it in his mouth.

After lunch, the team set off and continued on their way. Further on, the terrain gradually becomes steep, and there are high cliffs erected next to the official road, straight up and down, towering into the clouds.

Passing by here, Shangguan Xiu's mind was uneasy, perhaps out of the vigilance of many years of war, he knew too well where it was easy to set ambushes and where it was easy to set traps.

Heihuling is an excellent ambush site, the cliff is next to the official road, if there is an ambush on the mountain, just push down a falling rock, you can smash the pedestrians on the official road below. Shangguan Xiu couldn't sit still in the carriage, stood up and was about to walk out, as soon as he moved, he woke up Tang Ling, who was pretending to sleep, she grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked curiously, "Xiu, where are you going?"

Shangguan Xiu's expression was very calm, his face did not show the slightest worry, he smiled at her, and said, "I ate a little too much just now, I'll go outside to breathe." ”

As he spoke, he patted Tang Ling's little hand with relief, and then walked out of the carport. The Praetorian Guard warrior who was driving the car saw Shangguan Xiu come out and asked, "My lord, is there something wrong?"

"No! you keep catching the car. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand casually and raised his eyes to look at the top of the cliff on the side of the road.

The cliff is too high, and when you stand below and look up, you can only see clouds and mist, and you can't see anything clearly. Just as Shangguan Xiu was holding his hands behind his back and raising his eyes to look up, suddenly, he suddenly heard a sound of eagles chirping in the sky.

Shangguan Xiu was no stranger to the eagle chirp in the air, and he didn't know how many times he had heard it when he was marching and fighting.

Shangguan Xiu screamed secretly, without thinking about it, turned around and ran back into the carriage, Tang Ling, who was lying on his side, didn't realize what was happening, and suddenly felt that his waist was tight, and the person had risen into the air.

She couldn't help but scream, opened her eyes, and saw that she had unbelievably flew out of the carriage's carport, and it was Shangguan Xiu who jumped out with her in her arms.

She was just about to open her mouth to ask a question, when suddenly, she heard a loud bang in mid-air, and at the top of the cliff, a round boulder more than two meters high rolled down, and the loud sound was the sound of falling rocks hitting the cliff wall.

It was too late, it was too fast, Tang Ling didn't react, and then there was another deafening bang.

Click!

The huge falling rocks were impartial, and they were smashing on the carriage that Tang Ling was riding, pulled by sixteen horses, and the carriage inside and outside the carriage was wrapped in iron sheets, which was instantly smashed by this big falling rock.

It is not difficult to imagine that if the two of them hadn't jumped out of the carriage in time just now, they would have to be smashed into meatloaf by this boulder like this carriage.

After two or three seconds, the Praetorian Guards and gendarmerie at the scene reacted, and for a while, people's shouts and screams were everywhere.

"There is an ambush! There is an assassin ambush on the mountain!" "Protect Your Majesty!"

The people around flocked to Shangguanxiu and Tang Ling. Before the people could get to their side, a gunshot suddenly rang out halfway up the mountain. The sound of gunfire was dull, and the echo lingered in the valley for a long time.

Shangguan Xiu didn't have time to think about it, he took Tang Ling's figure and turned on the spot, using his back to block the spirit bullet that was flying rapidly.

With a crisp sound, the spirit bullet that pierced through the sky and roared hit him firmly in the back of the heart.

The powerful impact of the spirit spear made Shangguan Xiu's figure can't help but stumble forward a few steps, feeling as if he had been hit by a hammer in his back, his throat and eyes were licking, and his internal organs were churning.

This is also thanks to his quick enough reaction and timely use of the invisible body protection, otherwise with the power of this spirit bullet, it can penetrate the back of his heart.

The Assassin misses a shot, and if he wants to fire a second shot, there is no chance. A large number of Praetorian Guards and gendarmes, holding high curtains, surrounded Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling, and no matter where the assassins were, there was no longer an angle to shoot.

At the same time, thousands of other Praetorian Guards and gendarmerie swooped down on the Assassins lurking in the shadows.

It didn't take long for the sound of fighting to be heard halfway up the mountain not far away. Shangguan Xiu, who was covered under the curtain, put Tang Ling down and said in a deep voice to the people on the left and right: "You protect Your Majesty, I will arrest the assassin!"

In broad daylight, openly assassinating the emperor, how bold it must be, Shangguan Xiu has to figure out who sent these assassins.

After explaining to the people around him, Shangguan Xiu whispered to Tang Ling again: "Xiang'er, you are here, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back!"

"Ah Xiu, be careful!"

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu agreed, squeezed out of the gap in the crowd, and when he got outside, he covered his spirit armor and ran straight to the halfway point of the mountain where the fight was taking place.

Shangguan Xiu's speed was extremely fast, only a few ups and downs, and the person was already a hundred meters away, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the crowd of many Praetorian Guards and gendarmerie.

The people who were close to Tang Ling were almost all disciples of Tongtianmen. A young man in his early thirties squeezed in front of Tang Ling and asked with concern, "Is Your Majesty okay?"

Tang Ling's face sank like water, and he said, "I'm fine! On my way back to Beijing, there were assassins in ambush on the road, how did you do things for me?"

The faces of all the disciples of the Heavenly Sect were ugly, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Tang Ling's eyes full of anger. This section of the road, not only the Dark Banner has done a careful investigation, but Tongtianmen and the Praetorian Guard have also done a detailed investigation, not to mention that they have not seen the shadow of the assassins, and even found a little abnormality, and now the assassins suddenly appeared, and their brains were also confused, and it was not clear where these assassins came from.

The young man who spoke just now frowned and said: "The assassin hid on the top of the mountain, and he was able to accurately hit His Majesty's carriage with falling rocks, which shows that the assassin's actions were premeditated, and after precise design, the villain suspects that it may be ......."

"What could it be?"

"It may be that there is a spy on His Majesty's side, someone is secretly shielding the assassin and secretly reporting to the assassin!"

Hearing this, Tang Ling's face became more and more ugly, there was actually a spy around her? She looked at the young man and asked, "Who do you suspect?"

The young man's eyes turned to a Tongtianmen disciple standing behind Tang Ling. As he looked at the man, the eyes of everyone around him turned to him.

The man's face changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief, "Qiao Shan, you doubt me?"

"If it's not you, who else can there be?!" the young man spoke, and the saber suddenly unsheathed and stabbed straight at the man.
