Chapter 167: Assassination in Distress!
Of course, these men are not stupid, and they are very deep in this kind of thinking. You must know that tonight's banquet is not entirely for the so-called Shouwang to choose a concubine. are also young men and women in their twenties, and King Shou held this banquet to let everyone look at each other, and if they have a favorite, they can naturally make friends secretly. They are all well-known families, and marriage is naturally a big deal. Although the nobles of the kings and grandsons are merry by nature, and people are not romantic! However, in the face of the future and romance, the man who really gives up his future for the sake of romance is a fool!
Those men who came to Baili Yumeng tried their best to suppress these thoughts in their hearts, trying not to look at Murong Huan, only staring at Baili Yumeng with affection, and kept looking for excuses to talk to this princess. When they encountered Baili Yumeng's thorny mockery of Murong Huan, they also pretended not to understand, and laughed it off, neither offending Baili Yumeng nor Baili Moxin.
Murong Huan sat there, but he didn't talk much, after sneaking into Baili Moxu's study last night and seeing the preserved portraits, her whole heart was in a mess, and she was a little distracted all day, she wanted to find an excuse not to come to this banquet, but she felt that she owed Baili Moxin too much, and it was not good to save his face.
Barely cheered up and came to Shouwang Mansion, Murong Huan was not in the mood to talk to anyone, she just played with the white jade wine bottle in her hand, secretly observing the ladies who were attending the banquet tonight, and secretly speculating who was the one Baili Moxin liked. She could feel the hostility of the women towards her, but she only smiled in her heart.
In Murong Huan's opinion, she, the unfavored princess, couldn't integrate into the so-called Xilin upper class, so she didn't expect these people to give her a good face. I will come tonight, purely for the sake of Baili Moxin's face, and I have no intention of befriending anyone.
It's said to be a banquet, but it's just a group of young people doing wine and playing poetry and songs. Murong Huan and Leng Yuxin were already wives after all, so they took the initiative to ask Ying to be the referee, and they did not participate, but just watched.
In the meantime, Murong Huan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, got up and went to the clean room under the leadership of the maid. Xiaoqin naturally followed behind him.
The clean room closest to this pavilion was close to the lake, and it was okay for Xiaoqin to go in first to see it, so Murong Huan walked in. Xiaoqin and the maid were waiting outside. For some reason, Xiaoqin faintly felt that something was wrong. Before she could figure it out, the maid beside her had been knocked unconscious by the sudden black shadow.
"What person?!" Xiaoqin immediately gathered her true qi and stabbed at the visitor with her long sword.
The person who came did not speak, only scuffled with Xiaoqin. The two of them attracted Ah Ming, who was secretly protecting Murong Huan, but before Ah Ming could get closer, three more men in black rushed out in the night, and greeted Ah Ming with a cruel beckon.
"Xiaoqin, you take the princess away, I'll deal with them!" Ah Ming pushed Xiaoqin and dealt with the four assassins himself.
Xiaoqin pulled Murong Huan and before he could run a few steps, four more killers with cultivation above level eight appeared, one left and one right, and outflanked him. One of them stabbed at Murong Huan, and the long sword in his hand picked off a piece of Murong Huan's sleeve.
"Princess, I'll drag them, you go back to the main hall quickly!" Xiaoqin was shocked, and greeted Murong Huan in front of her.
"Nini, you go and help Xiaoqin, pay attention not to show your figure!" Murong Huan's heart sank, he never thought that he would be assassinated in Shouwang's Mansion today. What kind of people want their own lives? and send so many killers against themselves?!
"Mother, no, I want to protect you!" Nini immediately objected, although the sword just now only picked the sleeve of her shirt and did not scratch Murong Huan's hand, it also made Nini break out in a cold sweat.
"Nini, this is not far from the main hall, I will be fine. But it's really dangerous for Xiaoqin to deal with four people alone, I'm not at ease!"
"If she has any accidents, I can't forgive myself for the rest of my life!" Murong Huan thought very simply, Xiaoqin followed her from Yelan to this unaccompanied Xilin, accompanied day and night, sharing honor and disgrace, just like her own relatives, she must not let anything happen.
"Mother, I'll send you back to the main hall to help Xiaoqin!" Nini disagreed.
"No!Nini, there's no time, Xiaoqin is already injured!Go and save her!" While speaking, Murong Huan had already seen Xiaoqin being stabbed with a sword, and he was anxious, and ordered Nini, "If you don't go, my mother will ignore you again!"
"Mother, be careful!" Nini also saw that Xiaoqin's injury was not light, and she saw that there seemed to be no other assassins behind her, so she rushed to Xiaoqin's side stealthily, and threw a colorful ball of light in the direction of the main hall, hoping to attract the attention of Baili Moxin and others.
At the same time, Murong Huan turned around and ran in the direction of the main hall, but before she could run a few steps, a black shadow flew over again in the night, and as soon as he made a move, he first clicked on her dumb hole, and then picked up her clothes, and flew towards the frozen lake.
Baili Moxin and the others were talking and laughing, and suddenly a colorful ball of light flew into the hall, and everyone was startled and immediately jumped up. Ye Zi and Feng Zi were protecting Leng Yuxin, and several men also stood beside Baili Yumeng. Baili Moxin frowned, secretly screamed badly, swept his body, and rushed out.
The person who grabbed Murong Huan didn't want her life, but threw something like thunder from the air, blasted a hole in the surface of the lake with a bang, and then threw her into the ice hole, and shouted, "Die!"
Murong Huan immediately fell into the icy water, and the thick cloak dragged her landlubber down quickly. Murong Huan struggled and fluttered, but he still couldn't change the fate of sinking to the bottom. The icy water poured into her mouth, and she struggled to untie her cloak, trying to slow down her descent to the bottom. In the dark night, the man in black smiled ruefully, and his figure disappeared.
When the last ray of light disappeared, Murong Huan actually felt that he saw Baili Moxu's face in the night sky. The corners of his lips rose slightly, and he curved a beautiful arc, like staring at himself so affectionately that night under the fireworks by the West River.
"Moxu ......" Murong Huan blocked the name in his throat, and he couldn't shout it, which made him feel uncomfortable. A tear slipped out of the corner of his eye, mixing with the icy water of the lake. Himself, I'll never see him again, right?" Murong Huan gradually lost consciousness in the cold.
Baili Moxin rushed out of the main hall and saw colorful and multicolored balls of light flashing in the direction of the clean room, and the sound of weapons colliding from time to time came, but he was just about to fly over, but he heard a loud noise on the lake, and then there was the sound of falling into the water. Baili Moxin frowned, almost relying on his own intuition, his body turned around and rushed towards the lake.
An eerie whistle sounded in the night, and the eight Assassins who were fighting Xiaoqin and Armin retreated almost simultaneously, swept into the night like bats. Ah Ming rushed to Xiaoqin and grabbed the injured Xiaoqin, "Where's the princess?"
The princess went back to the main hall herself. As Xiaoqin spoke, she already felt that something was wrong, and suddenly thought of something, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Ah Ming, "It's not good!
"Lake!" Amin also realized, and picked up the violin and flew towards the lake. Those who came from the main hall and the guards of the Shouwang Mansion also arrived at the lake at this moment.
I saw a huge ice hole appear on the surface of the lake, and the guards surrounded the lake, and the torches illuminated the lake clearly.
Nini can't speak, and Xiaoqin can't understand its beast language, but Nini stealthily dragged her desperately to the ice hole, and Xiaoqin immediately understood what Nini meant, "Amin, the princess is in the water!"
"What?!" Ah Ming's face turned pale, Murong Huan didn't know how to water, could she still survive if she fell into this ice water on such a cold day?
At this moment, a figure suddenly rose from the water, and everyone was shocked, and when they looked at it, it was Baili Moxin who rushed out of the water with Murong Huan in his arms.
"Princess!" Xiaoqin and Armin stumbled on their feet.
"Lord Wang!" "King Shou!" The guests and guards also rushed over. Of course, there were also two teams of guards who began to search the entire house to arrest the Assassins.
In the face of this sudden change, everyone couldn't figure out what was going on, and looking at Xiaoqin, who was still dripping blood, everyone frowned. Who is so bold that he actually assassinated King Shou's Mansion, and the most bizarre thing is that the target turned out to be Murong Huan. This assassination is really intriguing.
Those people who are good friends with Baili Moxin are secretly speculating, and they also sweat for Baili Moxin, no matter what the cause of this matter is, it is definitely not a good thing for Baili Moxin.
"Cloak!" Baili Moxin hugged Murong Huan and just stood firm, he trembled and stretched his hand to the end of her nose, feeling a faint breath, and immediately snorted. Anyone can hear that Baili Moxin's voice is a little trembling, and it can be seen that he is very nervous.
Only then did everyone realize that Murong Huan's face was pale, his teeth and eyes were closed, and his hands were hanging stiffly, looking like he was dead. But there must be a breath left, otherwise this Baili Moxin must have gone crazy a long time ago.
Immediately, the eldest son of General Nage untied the fox fur coat on his body and spread it on the ground. Baili Moxin put Murong Huan on the cloak, and everyone noticed that Murong Huan's sleeves were torn, his arm was scratched by a sword, and the bright red "Shougong Sand" on his arm was particularly conspicuous on this white ice.
There are two "dead fans" of Baili Moxin who can't care about jealousy at this time, and in order to show their kindness in front of Baili Moxin, they also took off their cloaks and sent them up. Baili Moxin grabbed the cloak and wrapped it around Murong Huan, knelt on one knee on the ice, and didn't care about the difference between men and women, through the cloak, he began to press on Murong Huan's abdomen
