When facing Zhu Jiu, Xuanyuan Che would talk more, and when he heard this, he said, "I've been in an impetuous mood recently, Lan Zhaoyi is good-looking, let her follow, it's comfortable to look alone."

This...... Also a reason?

Zhu Jiu glanced at him playfully, then took out the dagger he carried with him and threw it to Lan Zhaoyi, "With this self-defense, you are in Loulan, you should have learned how to use a dagger, right?"

The land of Loulan is not as peaceful as the Central Plains, even if it is a woman, she has to learn self-defense, that place worships martial arts, not literature.

Taking over this dagger, Lan Zhaoyi's eyes were shining, although the dagger of the queen mother was not inlaid with any bells and whistles, and it looked simple and ordinary, but for her, who often touched the weapon, she knew the weight of this weapon as soon as she took over it.

Suddenly, she happily thanked Zhu Jiu, and after Zhu Jiu nodded to her, she rode her horse and took the guards into the mountains and forests to hunt wild boars.

There was more than one wild boar, otherwise the villagers below the mountain would not have been severely affected.

Zhu Jiu walked to one side, and Xuanyuan Che took Zu Menglan to the other side.

This time Nana didn't follow her, Zu Menglan was a little scared, but she still tried her best to ride a horse to keep up with Xuanyuan Che, but she was unlucky, the horse ran halfway and was shocked, she fell directly from the horse and broke one of her arms.

Zu Menglan shed tears in pain, looking for people everywhere, wanting to avoid the summer palace.

She didn't want to come here to hunt at all, if His Majesty hadn't named her, she should have drunk sweet sour plum soup in the palace and eaten delicious desserts now.

"Is there anybody?"

She endured the pain, limped along the way she came, holding the dagger given by Zhu Jiu tightly in her hand, and completely regarded this as a life-saving treasure.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

The surroundings were very quiet, the shadows of the trees everywhere, the dark environment seemed to cut off all light sources that could shine in, and a chill gradually walked in the air.

It seemed that her voice was heard, and the person who had gone far had indeed ridden back.

But Xuanyuan Che's expression when he looked down at her was very cold, and when he saw her miserable appearance, he even showed a mocking smile: "It's really a waste, just you, and you are worthy of being friends with the queen?"

Zu Menglan really wanted to scold this madman, or the emperor, but her strength was so small, she couldn't even tolerate a woman, no wonder the previous Rong Taishi would be sent to that place in Lingnan by Xuanyuan Che, she had heard that Rong Taishi was a good minister!

And he was assigned only because he had some friendship with the queen.

But taking into account Loulan behind her, Zu Menglan still endured it, pursed her lips and looked at him expectantly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has injured her hand and can't serve you with her, can you send the concubine back to the palace to rest?"

"Do you think Lone called you out today and will let you go back?" z.br>

Xuanyuan Che looked at her with a mocking gaze as if he had heard some joke, then smiled, rode his horse deeper into the mountain forest, and left a sentence before leaving: "At that time, if you die in this mountain forest, it has nothing to do with loneliness, and the queen will only think that you are not capable enough, and it is not a pity to die!"

Bang!

Zu Menglan was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

She knew that it was absolutely nothing good for the black emperor to call her out today, but she never expected that he had the intention of killing her!

But what did he mean by that just now? Could it be that today's events are also instructed by the queen?

By the way, it must be like this, who in the palace doesn't know that Xuanyuan Che listens to the queen's words the most, and even loves the house and Wu, as long as it is a person or thing that the queen likes, he will be pampered for three points.

But when she came to her, the emperor wanted to kill her!

If the queen disagreed, Xuanyuan Che would not dare to do this, no matter how much he hated her in his heart, he could only hold back.

Can...... Zu Menglan couldn't understand where she offended Zhu Jiu, so that Zhu Jiu wanted to put him to death?

At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the sound of rustling sounded all around.

Someone is approaching!

Zu Menglan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly looked left and right, and at the same time clenched the dagger in her hand, but her brain also woke up at this moment

。

No, no, she guessed wrong, if the queen wanted to harm her, why did she save her in the water lily pond in the first place?

Moreover, just before leaving, she gave her this dagger.

Could it be that there is no mystery in the dagger?

Subconsciously, she looked at the dagger, and she didn't have time to see how many black-clothed people suddenly appeared around her, and she didn't have time to care how murderous these black-clothed people stared at her.

Just as she was tinkering with the dagger, suddenly, the handle of the dagger fell off, revealing a lead inside.

This...... There's even a flare hidden inside this dagger?!

Looking at the signal flare that was only the size of her thumb, Zu Menglan hesitated, she didn't know if such a light gunpowder in this signal flare could fly into the sky.

But seeing that the man in black had already approached her with a knife, Zu Menglan gritted her teeth: In order to survive, fight!

She grabbed the dagger and rushed out, and at that moment the flare finally burst into the sky, exploding directly, forming a cloud of red smoke that was very eye-catching even in the daytime.

On the other side of the mountain forest, Zhu Jiu, who had already found traces of wild boars and was about to aim his bow and arrow at the wild boar, suddenly heard this voice, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that it was Zu Menglan who had discovered the secret of the dagger, so he immediately rushed over there.

The eight guards behind her didn't know why the queen suddenly rushed away, obviously the wild boar was close in front of them, but they were still worried that something would happen to Zhu Jiu, so they hurriedly followed.

However, these people were much slower than Zhu Jiu, and by the time they arrived at Zu Menglan's side, many black-clothed people had already fallen in this dense forest.

Zhu Jiu put away the bow and arrows behind him before he came over to help Zu Menglan, "Are you okay?"

Zu Menglan was glad that her brain was still enough, and after thinking clearly, it was not Zhu Jiu who did it to her, and when she saw that Zhu Jiu had saved her like a god, she couldn't help but rush over with tears in her eyes, "Woo, Queen Mother! I'm glad you're here, or I'd have died here today!"

During this time, there were many people in the Central Plains who had contact with her, and she spoke a lot more neatly.

Zhu Jiu was frightened when he saw her, and it happened that those guards also rushed over, so he handed over these black-clothed people to them for disposal.

The guards hurriedly brought the men in black down for interrogation, but Zhu Jiu did not kill them, so they all stayed alive.

However, when one of the men in black woke up, he saw that the situation was not right, and he bit the poison in his mouth as if he were dead.

Things like this happened one after another, and when Zhu Jiu found out that something was wrong, he immediately stopped them, and finally left a living mouth.

As soon as the assassin's mask was removed, a deep-contoured face was revealed, which did not look like that of a Central Plainsman, and his skin was darker.

Zhu Jiu's eyes were like ice, staring at him, "Who are you? By whom? Why do you want to do it to Lan Zhaoyi?"

The assassin's tooth that had hidden the poison had been knocked out by Zhu Jiu before, and now he could not find death, but he did not say a word, and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb during Zhu Jiu's interrogation.
