Empress Dowager Li finally turned pale.

The two have been fighting since the beginning of their accession to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Keli has always failed, her eyes reflect the light of hatred, and she suddenly shouted to the inner room: "Ke'er, come out, we won't get married!" ”

But there was no bride inside.

Empress Dowager Li called again: "Ke'er? ”

After a long time, someone finally came out of the inner room, dressed in red, covering her hijab, but when the bride took off her hijab, it was not the face that Empress Dowager Li was familiar with.

"Red tassels? How are you? ”

Wen Xun'er was also full of surprise, how could Hongying be here?

"Hongying has seen the emperor and the queen!" Hongying bowed down to salute Xiao Jiwei and Wen Xun'er.

Xiao Jiwei bowed his head lightly and looked at the Empress Dowager Li: "It's best for the queen mother not to get involved in this dispute, otherwise, it will only be you who will suffer!" ”

The implication is that she should not interfere in this marriage!

Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth, couldn't say a word, and suddenly got up and walked to the inner room, only to find that Xiao Muke was already unconscious on the bed.

"Kerr?" The anxious voice of Empress Dowager Li came from the inner room, and when it was confirmed that Xiao Muke was only unconscious, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her face changed dramatically.

"What do you want to do with her?" Outside, Wen Xun'er asked Xiao Jiwei about it.

The latter turned his eyes to look at her, but did not speak.

Wen Xun'er's side, Cang La hid behind Wen Xun'er with some fear, and there were still undried tears on her face.

"Cangla, go to sleep in the tent inside, and when you wake up, your brother and sister will be in front of you." Xiao Jiwei touched her head.

"Really?" Cang La was a little unconvinced, and looked at Wen Xun'er.

Wen Xun'er patted her shoulder soothingly: "Go, the emperor's golden mouth, he won't lie to you!" ”

Xiao Ji glanced at Wen Xun'er lightly, and Cangla was dragged in by Qiu Yue.

"Your Majesty, the wolves have stopped it for the time being, but the Xuanshen Sect has obviously been prepared, and a lot of bows and arrows have been prepared, if it goes on like this, when it gets dark, we are not their opponents at all."

Xiao Ji bowed his head: "Let Zhang Yuan lead everyone to retreat to the mountain." ”

Chunsheng took the order and went out to convey his will, and behind him, Xiao Jiwei said again: "Let her in." ”

After a while, Wen Xun'er saw a familiar figure coming in from outside, it was none other than Qingran.

Xiao Jiwei is using the Twelve Shadow Guards?

"Meet the emperor and the queen!" Blue Dye saluted respectfully.

Xiao Jiwei looked at Hongying on the side: "Take her there." ”

Qing Ran took the order and walked out with Hongying, and it didn't take long for the sound of arrows outside to suddenly stop, and Wen Xun'er vaguely understood what was coming over-

Just now, the people outside shot arrows unscrupulously, which clearly meant to wipe out the people inside, but at this moment, the red tassel appeared and the arrows stopped, can it be understood that the red tassel was actually the hostage who was coerced? After all, on that day of the imperial mausoleum, she witnessed with her own eyes that at the last moment, Wan Yin risked the danger to take the red tassel away.

But how did Xiao Jiwei persuade Hongying to obey his arrangement.

"I'll explain my questions to you later." Obviously knowing what she wanted to ask, Xiao Jiwei interrupted her train of thought, "Later, Zhang Yuan will lead people to retreat, you follow him, and the people inside will be handed over to you." ”

"Are you going to confront Wanyin directly?"

Xiao Jiwei nodded: "You forgot, I still have his poison on me, it's time to make a break!" ”

Wen Xun'er suddenly blocked his way: "I'll go with you!" ”

Xiao Ji's dark gaze fell on her, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he rejected Wen Xun'er's proposal: "No." ”

Two seemingly random words, but with a tone that cannot be refused, Wen Xun'er keenly felt that these two words were not like before.

She suddenly remembered that on the day of the death of the first emperor, Xiao Ji left dangerously in the face of changes in the palace.

At that time, he also forbade her to be with him, but at that time, the tone was more worried about her being in danger, in other words, that refusal was protection.

But the two words at this moment were somewhat indifferent, as if he simply didn't want her to follow, and other than that, it didn't involve any other emotions, that is, this refusal was his original intention.

For some reason, a slight emotion rose in Wen Xun'er's heart, and she was inexplicably a little lost.

Xiao Jiwei's figure had already left the camp.

She didn't know what was going on outside, and it didn't take long for someone to walk in, it was Qingye.

"Niangniang, the emperor ordered his subordinates to protect your safety." She was dressed in black, with an indifferent expression, and respectfully saluted Wen Xun'er.

Wen Xun'er was worried that no one would tell her about Hongying, but she didn't expect her to come.

"What's going on with the red tassels?"

"She listened to the words of the gangsters before, and almost harmed the emperor, and the emperor gave her the opportunity to atone for her crimes and let her go undercover in the Xuanshen Sect, so her stay in the Xuanshen Sect during this time was not a rebellion, but just to pass on news to us."

Wen Xun'er was puzzled: "If that's the case, shouldn't the Emperor of the Xuanshen Sect's lair know about it early on?" Why do you need to go around in such a big circle and have a big wedding to lure Wanyin out? ”

"Niangniang doesn't know, although Hongying is not a rebellion, but Wan Yin is very suspicious and doesn't believe in Hongying, although Hongying is in the Xuanshen Sect during this time, the information obtained is limited, and the Xuanshen Sect's lair is located in the downtown area and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not a good place to kill, luring him out is the method with the least casualties."

"The Xuanshen Sect is in the middle of the city?"

"Yes, it's on the ground floor of North Street."

Wen Xun'er suddenly realized.

The most lively market in Licheng is the north and south commercial streets from the north of the city to the south of the city, where the households are dense, and there are many vendors, plus there is no curfew in the northern cold, so whether it is day or night, it is quite lively, if you attack the Xuanshen Sect in that place, the other party is likely to take ordinary people hostage, and then not only helpless, but also casualties.

But it's not the same in the hunting grounds.

In addition to the hundreds of officials and their families, there are professional Praetorian Guards, and the casualties are the fewest here.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Yuan came to her camp and conveyed the order to retreat.

Wen Xun'er didn't say anything more, and walked to the mountain with Empress Dowager Li and Xiao Muke and her party.

There, a passage had already been fought out by the Praetorian Guards, so the road was unimpeded, except for the corpses on the road.

Cang La was so frightened that she grabbed Wen Xun'er's hand tightly, avoiding the corpse while looking for a familiar face in the corpse.

"Don't be afraid, your brothers and sisters are very safe, and they won't be in these."

Wen Xun'er relieved Cangla's fear with a word, she raised her head, and stared at Wen Xun'er with shrunken pupils: "Really? ”

"Well, they are all waiting for us on the mountain, and as long as we pass safely, we will be able to join them!"

Kura relaxed at this time, and then he didn't look around all the way.
