Chapter 8 The Praying Mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch follows
Su Chengxi's eyes were full of appreciation, and he loved this child more and more.
She took Xiao Yuhuan's little hand, straightened her waist, and walked steadily towards the sedan chair, and the honor guard and civil and military officials behind her followed behind their mother and son with great momentum.
The Royal Forest Army opened the way in front, mighty and mighty, and the sonorous footsteps stepped on the hearts of everyone, making people involuntarily feel awe.
When the sedan chairs of the emperor and the queen mother passed by, the people watching the ceremony knelt down and bowed, and they did not dare to raise their heads.
Xiao Yuhuan in the sedan chair held Su Chengxi's hand tightly, the fine sweat from his palms exposed his uneasiness, Su Chengxi glanced at him sideways, his eyes were full of encouragement, Xiao Yuhuan took a deep breath, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't say a word, his eyes gradually became firm, and his anxious heart also calmed down.
As long as the queen mother is around, he is not afraid of anything.
After the honor guard walked through the street, they went to the sacrificial platform.
At this moment, chaos suddenly erupted in the crowd, and the panicked people fled in all directions, and the Imperial Guards hurriedly stepped forward to surround the sedan chair to defend against the sudden assassins.
Panic flashed on Xiao Yuhuan's immature little face, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the queen mother beside him, and saw that the queen mother's eyes were gloomy, staring at the front expressionlessly.
"Queen Mother...... Is someone trying to assassinate you and your sons? ”
Xiao Yuhuan asked in a low voice with a slight trembling voice.
Su Chengxi nodded, lowered his eyes to look at his son with an uneasy expression, and said seriously: "Huan'er, what you experienced today is just a very small twist and turn. You were born into a royal family, and now you are an emperor, and there are countless tribulations you will face in the future. The Queen Mother hopes that no matter what happens to you in the future, you will be calm and calm; Even if you are in danger, you must maintain the ability to think and use everything you can to get out of danger. You can never be defeated by anyone or anything, you know? ”
"Understood! The sons remembered the teachings of the queen mother. ”
The uneasiness on Xiao Yuhuan's face disappeared, and he nodded solemnly: "The father and the emperor have not come back yet, and the sons and daughters must not only be good as this emperor, but also protect the queen mother!" ”
"The Queen Mother believes that you can do it."
Su Chengxi's eyes rubbed Xiao Yuhuan's little head softly.
The assassins were all well-trained masters, and Su Chengxi knew that this was the work of Xiao Jianmin, the king of Zhennan.
In the original text, the little emperor held an enthronement ceremony, and the king of Zhennan set up an ambush to assassinate the little emperor, causing the little emperor's life to hang by a thread, and he quickly returned to the court to imprison the little emperor in the palace on the grounds that he was unwell, and controlled the court situation.
Although he is not the emperor in name, he holds the supreme imperial power in the actual sense, and the little emperor is reduced to a puppet.
As for the original owner, as the queen mother, she was forcibly possessed by the king of Zhennan, singing every night, and the name of the demon queen spread all over the world, and she was nailed to the pillar of shame with the crime of red face and trouble.
But she was clearly the emperor's biological mother, but she was forced to be humiliated for 10,000 years.
And Su Chengxi, who knows all this, how can he not be defended?
The ancients had a cloud: the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.
The attics on both sides of the street were all open, and there were archers with bows and arrows, and their arrows were pointed at the Assassins, and they were so fast and powerful that the Assassins who were exposed to the light of the sky had nowhere to hide.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
The leader of the assassins shouted: "Kill the little emperor at all costs!" ”
"Yes."
The Assassins spoke in unison, and they all rushed towards the sedan in disregard.
Jiang Hao protected the sedan chair with a cold expression, and said loudly: "Escort, kill the rebel, all will be rewarded!" ”
"Yes, Commander."
The rousing shouts of the Imperial Forest Army resounded in the sky, and one by one the sturdy men fought bravely to kill the enemy.
The two teams of men and horses fought together, swords and swords, without mercy, and the blood sprayed out was like a magnificent ruby thrown on the ground, shining with pale golden light when it was illuminated by the rising sun.
The cries of the injured and the frightened cries of the people were endless, Su Chengxi sat in the sedan chair, and asked Jiang Hao, who had been guarding outside the sedan chair, with a gloomy face: "Have you found any suspicious characters?" ”
"The Empress Dowager, I haven't found it yet."
Jiang Hao was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why the Queen Mother asked him to always pay attention to a tall man with tears in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't dare to have doubts. He has been watching and listening to all directions, always paying attention, but he has never found out where the person the Queen Mother said.
Su Chengxi was very sure that Xiao Jianjin had come.
But I don't know where he is now, and what he has dressed up into.
The original text understated this part of the plot that is developing today, causing her to be blind now, but she is not discouraged.
The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, she will not lose to anyone!
What's more, she now occupies the right time, place and people.
Whether it is Xiao Jianjin or Xiao Jianmin, they can't easily shake her.
Because Su Chengxi was fully prepared, the fight between the assassins and the Royal Forest Army did not last long, and all the assassins he saw were killed, Jiang Hao counted the number of people, and said: "The Queen Mother, there are a total of twenty-four assassins, all of whom have been killed, and I ask the Queen Mother to show you." ”
"That's not right! It should be twenty-seven! ”
Su Chengxi's face instantly became solemn.
In the next moment, a sharp sword flew quickly towards the figure in the sedan chair.
Jiang Hao was startled, and hurriedly dodged in front of the sedan chair, but he was a step late, seeing that the sword was about to stab into the sedan chair, Xiao Yuhuan was so frightened that his eyes widened, and Su Chengxi didn't react for a while.
Could it be that even if she made all the preparations, she still couldn't escape the fate of death after all?
At the last moment, Su Chengxi hurriedly pushed the child aside.
It was too late, and just as the sword was about to stab into Su Chengxi's throat, suddenly a figure flashed into the sedan chair, grabbed the handle of the knife suddenly, threw it back, and stabbed the assassin who threw the sword into the sedan chair quickly and accurately, and the assassin died of anger instantly.
Su Chengxi was so frightened that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It was just a second, just a second, and she died.
"Mother...... Queen ......"
Xiao Yuhuan hurriedly crawled over and grabbed Su Chengxi's arm with a crying voice, and shouted worriedly and fearfully: "Queen Mother, how are you?" Are you alright? ”
The child's voice woke Su Chengxi up, she turned her head stiffly to look at her son who was about to cry or not, took a deep breath, and then trembled and clenched the child's little hand, pulled the corners of her mouth and shook her head: "It's okay, Huan'er, the queen mother is fine, don't cry." ”
Her life hung by a thread, she almost died, no matter how strong her psychology was, she was still scared after all.
But in front of the child, she didn't want to be too weak.
She tried her best to restrain the trembling of her body and the frightened heart of Fang Cai at that moment, she turned her head to look at the person who suddenly appeared in the sedan chair, only to see that this person was wearing a tattered straw hat on his head, his face was covered with a piece of linen, he was tall, and his eyes were staring at her with restraint, Su Chengxi felt a sense of displeasure that was offended.
But in any case, Fang was the one who saved her life, she suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, opened her thin lips lightly, and asked lightly, "Who are you?" ”
