Chapter 50: Choose One of the Two
Naturally, he wouldn't talk to her so well, but confronted her directly in person.
Leng Qingxiu immediately agreed, if she liked it, she would ask Xiuzhu to send her another one another day.
While the two were chatting, there was a sudden sound of a sonorous fight below, and the guards at the door also hurried to a few people, leaving a sentence with a heavy expression: "The assassin has attacked!" Don't go out if you stay here! ”
Immediately turning around, he led the rest of the guards of the stargazing tower and rushed down to meet the Assassins.
The screams and fighting sounds everywhere made people panic, how could a palace maid in Xiuzhu have ever seen such a scene?
Without waiting for Zhu Jiu and Leng Qingxiu to speak, she turned pale with fright, and hurriedly turned her head and asked, "Niangniang, what should we do?" Run away! ”
She hurriedly helped Leng Qingxiu to stand up, but was held down by Zhu Jiu, and reminded calmly: "Don't run around, the stargazing tower is absolutely safe." ”
Just when she watched the excitement, she could see that these guards were no weaker than those assassins, and as long as they stayed here, they would be fine.
"Absolutely safe? How can you guarantee it? If something happens to my master, can you afford to be a slave of sin! ”
Xiuzhu refuted her with red eyes, and almost vented all her dissatisfaction with Zhu Jiu in the past few days.
If it weren't for the panic in her heart and her lack of reason, she wouldn't have lost her temper so much.
Leng Qingxiu frowned, and immediately scolded: "Xiuzhu! ”
When Xiuzhu was unwilling to shut up, she turned her head and apologized to Zhu Jiu embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Tuoba girl, my maid has a straightforward personality and speaks a little ugly, please don't take it to heart......"
Zhu Jiu didn't plan to fight with them, but secretly took out a golden needle to prepare for self-defense.
Although she was sure that these guards were strong in martial arts, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.
Bang!
The stargazing tower shook for a while.
It turned out that after Fang Cai Xiuzhu shouted "My master", he was heard by those assassins below, and they saw that the Purple Pole Hall could not be attacked for a long time, and they thought that there were people in the Stargazing Tower that Xuanyuan Che cared about, and they all rushed here.
The female assassin at the head threw out a piece of gunpowder and ordered: "Capture the people on the stargazing tower!" Use them to threaten Xuanyuan Che! ”
The female assassins were not stupid, and when they found that the guards of the stargazing tower were extremely strong, they attacked them all.
The earth-shaking movement was caused by the gunpowder.
With her order, several more gunpowder exploded, almost destroying half of the stargazing tower, if it weren't for the fact that the building here did not cut corners and was very well designed, I am afraid that it would have collapsed under such repeated bombardments.
Xiuzhu's face turned even pale, and she turned her head angrily and asked Zhu Jiu: "It's all your fault!" You also said that this place is absolutely safe, if you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have rushed out with my master! How could you be in such a dangerous ......?"
Before the words fell, Zhu Jiu's eyes sank, and he quickly reached out to hold her and pushed her back: "Be careful!" ”
A flying arrow shot from where Xiuzhu was standing, firmly stuck on the floor.
Before Xiuzhu could widen her eyes and recover from her panic, several more arrows came one after another.
If it weren't for a lame leg, Zhu Jiu would only be more agile than now, seeing that Leng Qingxiu's legs were weak and she couldn't walk from the moment she saw the flying arrow, she had no choice but to hold Leng Qingxiu and send it into Xiuzhu's hands, and hurriedly ordered: "Hide under the table!" Don't just walk around! ”
Fortunately, the use of the Phoenix Nirvana Technique had reached the point of proficiency, and Zhu Jiu drew his sword from the corpses of nearby guards to resist while using the internal strength method, and fought with the assassins who rushed up.
On the side of the Purple Pole Palace, the courtiers were also relieved to see the assassins suddenly rushing towards the stargazing tower.
They were afraid that the assassins would kill them! He was afraid of escaping from the Purple Pole Palace, and before he could die at the hands of the assassins, he would be beheaded by the new emperor first.
At this time, there are people who are in front of the dead ghosts, so they don't have to worry about their lives.
Luo Zheng hurriedly looked in the direction of the stargazing tower, turned his head and reminded Xuanyuan Che: "Your Majesty, the second miss Tuoba seems to be surrounded by assassins, just now someone came to report that Concubine Leng Niangniang is also on the stargazing tower, do you want to send troops to rescue?" ”
"It's not time to close the net yet."
Xuanyuan Che said lightly, staring at the troubled stargazing tower over there, just like Zhu Jiu's lively appearance.
"Yes!"
For a while, Luo Zheng lowered his head and suppressed the suspicion in his eyes: Strange, didn't Your Majesty have long expected that these assassins would attack the Stargazing Tower, so he arranged Tuoba Ye there in advance?
He said, this Tuoba Ye has repeatedly made His Majesty unhappy, how could His Majesty spare her life?
Now it seems that His Majesty has made arrangements for a long time!
How could he have suspected that His Majesty had a heart for Tuoba Ye? What a sin.
At that time, the stargazing tower fell into a bitter battle more and more.
Rong Ruo also saw the scene of Tuoba Ye fighting the assassin in the Purple Pole Palace, and couldn't help but glance sideways at Xuanyuan Che, seeing that Xuanyuan Che was indifferent, he also lowered his eyes and did not open his mouth to ask for help for Tuoba Ye.
Soon, most of the guards of the stargazing tower were lost, and they had to be withdrawn.
Leng Qingxiu and Zhu Jiu were captured by the female assassin one after another, and as for the palace maid Xiuzhu, she fainted in fright the moment the assassin broke into the stargazing tower, and her concentration was not as good as her master.
At least Leng Qingxiu is still a graceful appearance no matter how embarrassed she is, and I still feel sorry for her.
Unlike her, who is weak, although the two of them stood together, Zhu Jiu's back was straight, and he was still neither humble nor arrogant when he was escorted outside the Purple Pole Hall by the female assassin.
The breezy and indifferent look, as if the person who was arrested was not her, her dark eyes were clear and distinct, without the slightest fear and trepidation, as if she had already put life and death aside.
The female assassin was masked, with a pair of eyes full of hatred and a sneer, and shouted outside the hall: "Xuanyuan Che! I heard that one of these two women is the only concubine in your harem, and the other is the most favored palace maid around you, now I will give you a chance, among these two women, I will kill one and release the other, do you have the right to choose...... Nature is in your hands! ”
Kill one, put one?
The eyelids of all the ministers jumped when they heard this, and they all looked back, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their eyes: this assassin is so bold! How dare they threaten their majesty with human life?
Doesn't she know that in the eyes of His Majesty, the most useless thing is human life?
After all, these ministers are just pawns in the eyes of His Majesty, let alone two useless women?
The envoys of Gao Xin and Xia are also watching a play, their princesses are not married, and it is not bad to be able to witness Xuanyuan Che's loss of the two most important women.
At this time, someone stepped forward and arched the fire: "Your Majesty Xuanyuan, this person intends to kill your concubine and pet maid in front of you, and he obviously doesn't take you seriously!" Why don't you rush out and take the opportunity to catch those female assassins! ”
Rushing out at this time, Xuanyuan Che didn't even have a chance to choose one or the other, and the female assassin would shoot Leng Qingxiu and Zhu Jiu before him.
Leng Qingxiu closed her eyes, a crystal teardrop slipped down, but her weak tone was particularly righteous and awe-inspiring: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want you to be embarrassed, it is the blessing of the concubine to be able to save Miss Tuoba, you choose her!" ”
