Chapter 44: Killing

Outside the entire hall, groups of Praetorian Guards were walking back and forth. Don't dare to relax in the slightest, after all, this is outside the palace, and it is easiest to assassinate or do something.

Meng Xie held the knife in one hand and slowly walked towards the entrance of the hall with a small group of people behind him. I happened to see his immediate boss still standing at the entrance of the hall, and the whole person was very serious and cautious.

"Tsk, he's blocking here, it's not easy to act." Meng Xie cursed in his heart, he looked at the group of disguised people behind him, and looked around without a trace. With a wave of his hand, the group waited for him here. Meng Xie himself slowly walked up the steps and walked to Sun Zhu's side.

"Commander." Meng Xie smiled and shouted at Sun Zhu. Sun Zhu was also rare to relax in front of him, and nodded.

"Alas, the summer banquet, I don't know how long it will last." Meng Xie grumbled, and leaned against the door behind him.

"It's like this every year." Sun Zhu was relieved, he looked up at the sky, and then said, "It's almost over." ”

Meng Xie followed his gaze, but all he could see was the black sky and a curved bright moon, and he didn't know how Sun Zhu knew that the banquet was almost over.

Sun Zhu's Sun family has been the leader of the royal family for several lifetimes, and it can be said that it is a family full of merits. Sun Zhu is also an old commander, he served as the deputy commander of the Janissaries of the first emperor when he was a teenager, and after the death of the first emperor, he was promoted by Fu Yan to become the orthodox leader of the Praetorian Guard, diligent, down-to-earth and loyal, so Fu Yan reused him a lot, and it was also a good treatment for the Sun family.

This situation and benefits are not comparable to the evil spirits who have become monks halfway.

"The trust of the emperor is deep, and the future must be promising." Meng Xie said with a smile.

Sun Zhu glanced at Meng Xie in surprise and quipped: "Old Meng, why did you suddenly make a sycophant?" ”

"That's not something you're an upright old man can say."

Geng Zhi Lao Meng, this is the character of Meng Xie in the Praetorian Guard. He doesn't seem to understand anything, but he is actually scheming.

"Hey, you're the one above me, too." Meng Xie laughed. "It's not that I hope you will be developed in the future, take care of my little brother a little more."

"You still need my care? With your old Meng's ability, it won't be long before my position as commander will be in your hands. ”

"Hehe, how can I have that ability. I just want to be safe and secure in this life. Meng Xie said with a smile, I don't know if it's true or not.

While the two were chatting, an exclamation suddenly sounded from not far away.

"Walk the water, walk the water!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then with a surprised expression on their faces, they looked towards the place where the voice came from, and faintly saw a red light.

Just when Sun Zhu wanted to lead people out, a voice came from another direction.

"Catch the assassins, catch the assassins!"

Meng Xie and Sun Zhu didn't have time to think about it, the two of them glanced at each other, and then rushed over in different directions.

It is worth mentioning that when Meng Xie left, almost all the people who were guarding the gate of the temple were transferred.

Inside the hall, the sound of the commotion outside naturally also came inside. It's just that the singing and dancing inside are leveling, and part of the sound outside is blocked, but people with sensitive ears can hear it more or less.

Fu Jing knew that Meng Xie had taken the people outside away, and this was the best time.

He pretended to be casual and pushed down the jade porcelain plate next to his hand.

The sound of the broken porcelain plate is very light and refreshing, and it can be heard very clearly when the music starts.

"Presumptuous!" Fu Jing's face changed, full of anger, he covered his hands and stood up and yelled at the maid standing beside him.

This roar also made the musicians stop playing, and the dancers also stopped their movements one after another, not daring to move. The attention of the audience was focused on Fu Jing at the moment.

"King Xiangyang." Suddenly, Fu Yan stared at Fu Jing and suddenly shouted, calming Fu Jing down. Then Fu Yanbian gestured to the close attendant eunuch beside him.

That eunuch has been with Fu Yan for several years, and he is also a person who can do things, and he immediately knows what the emperor is going to do.

He walked up to Fu Jing and said, "Yo, this palace maid is not sensible, hairy, prince, don't be angry because of a little palace maid and move your gold." ”

Fu Jing looked at the eunuch and snorted coldly, ignoring it. The eunuch smiled and beat the little palace maid a few times with her own whisk, and she was about to cry aggrieved.

It was clearly not what she did, but she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach at this moment. Who called her just a palace maid with a low status, she didn't take the blame, who did it.

Just when the little palace maid squatted down, picking up the fragments with tears in front of everyone's eyes, a sword of silver light suddenly flew in from outside the hall and went straight to Fu Yan's faΓ§ade.

Li Shu slapped the table, stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty, get down!" ”

Fu Yan was originally stunned, but when Li Shu shouted like this, he instinctively lowered his head and shrank down the table. Coincidentally, the silver light happened to pass through Fu Yan's scalp and was set on the back of Fu Yan's chair. It's a silver sword.

The Queen Mother looked shocked, she rushed over and hugged Fu Yan directly, and then shouted: "Escort!" Someone stabbed it! ”

In the main hall, which was originally filled with a strange atmosphere, there was a sudden chaos. At this moment, there was a noise outside the hall.

"Kill!" With an order, the door of the temple was vigorously pushed open, and countless black-clothed people rushed inside.

When one of them saw a man, he cut his knife mercilessly. It doesn't matter what kind of dignitary you are, or you are a dancer musician, as long as you are caught, the knife will not hesitate.

"Help, help!"

"Crazy, crazy, they're a bunch of crazy people!"

"Ahh

With one terrible scream after another, people continued to die under the knives of the group of black-clothed men.

Li Shu and the others took advantage of the chaos to run to the emperor's side, Chu Nan protected Fu Qingya tightly behind her, Fu Tianya had no force, just a weak woman, and she had to be watched closely at this time.

"Quick, go, run out of the apse and find the Praetorian Guard!" Li Shu pulled up the Queen Mother and Fu Yan on the ground, and pushed them behind along with Chu Nan.

"Shi Yao." Liu Yunshao anxiously turned his head and looked at Li Shu. Li Shu was now at the end of them. She didn't remember that Li Shu was good at dancing knives and guns, for fear that the group of people behind would catch up and give Li Shu a big knife directly.

"Stop talking, let's go." Li Shu didn't have time to make eye contact with Chu Nan, she looked at the people behind her, who were getting closer and closer to her and others, and urged hard.

In the face of life-and-death matters, Li Shu and the others were not slow to run, and even the two elderly people, the Queen Mother and Yun Ji, were in a hurry to rush to the apse.

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away before the man in black noticed them. But it backfired, and there was a guy behind him who was not enough to achieve and more than to lose.

"Wait for me, wait for me." Chen Luoniang lifted her complicated skirt, yelled at Li Shu and them, and then hurriedly ran towards them. This time, I just want to make it difficult to get people's attention.

"Idiot." Chu Nan couldn't help but scold, but what's the use of scolding Chen Luoniang now? If you don't go, your life will be gone.

Chu Nan and the others didn't care about Chen Luoniang, and stepped up their speed to escape. It's just that they are a little far away from the apse, and although they want to go faster and faster, they still haven't walked much.

When the man in black caused a commotion, Fu Jing, who had already hidden himself, looked at Li Shu's back and sneered, and said to a person beside him who seemed to be the leader of this group:

"Tell them to stop playing, taking down the emperor is the top priority, don't let them run away."

When Fu Jing spoke, his eyes were very sharp, and even the man in black, who often licked blood on the knife edge, couldn't help but feel a cold feeling. He nodded, slipped out while people were not paying attention, signaled to the group of people who were still killing indiscriminately, and rushed straight towards Li Shu.

"Quick, they're coming." Fu Tianya shouted, and the pace of everyone's running also accelerated. Finally ran to the apse, Li Shu hurriedly closed the door of the apse, and then moved the things that could be moved to the back of the door.

"It's not the way to go." Li Shu gasped lightly, and she could feel the people getting closer and closer to them.

"Too many people are a burden, and if this continues, we will all be caught."

"But what are we going to do?" Liu Yunshao was holding her stomach, she now felt a faint pain in her stomach, probably because she was running too fiercely just now.

"Run in two teams, one to lead the people away, and one to find the Praetorian Guards. Now that's the only way. Li Shu bit his lip and said with a pale face.

"Bang bang." The incessant crashing sound sounded at the door, and everyone's faces changed again.

"Chasing... Caught up. Chen Luoniang's legs were trembling with fright now, and the Queen Mother glared at her angrily.

"There's no time to choose, Your Majesty, I can only let you go with me." Li Shu let out a long sigh, felt the sound of shouting coming from the door behind him, and made a final decision.

"Okay, their goal is me, and I'll go with you." Fu Yan had no objections, his gaze was as flat as before the incident, making it impossible to see the depth.

"Quick, you guys jump out of the window and run." Li Shu ran to the window of the apse, opened the window, looked at it, and said to the people inside.

Chu Nan nodded, first walked to the window with the Queen Mother and Yunji, sent the Queen Mother and Yunqi out, and pushed Fu Tianya and Liu Yunshao out, and finally she turned over again and turned out of the window. As for Chen Luoniang, they didn't have time to care about her, so they turned it over by themselves.

Chu Nan finally took a deep look at Li Shu again, and she lip synched: "Be careful." ”

Li Shu nodded when he saw it, and quickly pulled Fu Yan to the window. Fu Yan was stunned when he saw Li Shu holding his hand. But he couldn't help it at once, and the group had already slammed the door open.

"Boss, they want to jump out of the window." After a group of people rushed in, they saw Li Shu dragging Fu Yan to jump down, and they ran to the window just to see the backs of these two people.

"Give me chase. If you can't get someone today, it's a head! The man said viciously, and then took the brunt of the rollover, ready to chase Li Shu and them.

"Don't worry about the others, you must take down the emperor's dog head today!"
