Chapter 058: Thinking of Each Other
If at the beginning, the empress would still take Nie Xinrou's words to heart, and would suspect that Nie Xinyao deliberately arranged this assassination, wanting to do it to herself, or in exchange for her trust, then after Huai Jin confirmed Nie Xinyao's injury, there was no such idea.
There is already an example of Nie Xinyu in the past, Nie Xinyao will definitely not joke with her body, otherwise, even if she gains her trust, or let her, the empress, die here, even if Nie Xinyao inherits the throne, she will not be able to sit for long.
"Your Majesty, the injury of the Sixth Highness shows that there are many masters among the assassins, and although the number of forbidden troops is large, they do not have an advantage over the killers with strong martial arts. Qingchen said at this time, "Since the Sixth Highness is temporarily safe, please allow the Minnu to lead her men to help Commander Yun hunt down the assassins, and I will definitely give Your Majesty an explanation." ”
"You're a good-eyed person, so go ahead, and be sure to catch me alive. The Empress commanded, "I want to know who is so bold as to dare to assassinate me in this lonely city mountain." ”
"Yes, the folk girl retired. Qingchen nodded, then turned to leave.
"Mother Emperor, the Sixth Emperor Sister has already been injured because of the assassin, if the retainer sits idly by and ignores it any longer, it really shouldn't be. Erchen is willing to help Miss Mu. When Nie Xinrou saw Qingchen leaving, she immediately said to the empress.
For Mu Qingchen, Nie Xinrou couldn't guess what she was about, and why the national teacher repeatedly ordered her not to move her, but this woman had a huge threat to her, and she even had a feeling that if Qingchen was let out, the next thing would be out of control.
"What can you do? Just stay here, and don't go anywhere. When the empress heard Nie Xinrou's invitation, the smile on her face just now suddenly fell silent, and she said so.
In one sentence, Nie Xinrou understood what the empress meant.
If you don't let her out, you must be suspicious of her, afraid that she will do something from it. She didn't expect that the empress would doubt herself because of Qingchen's few words, and she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.
"Erchen doesn't know martial arts, he can't do anything, but the guard next to Erchen is strong in martial arts, and at the birthday banquet of the Seven Emperor Sisters before, the mother emperor has also seen it, and Erchen means that let him help Miss Mu. Although Nie Xinrou was extremely resentful in her heart, she still said this and pushed Xiao Yi out beside her.
The empress remembered the skills Xiao Yi showed when she cracked Nie Xinlin's illusion before, and thought that Xiao Yi was just a guard, and he didn't have so much ability and ability to play tricks under Qingchen's nose, not to mention that Commander Yun was still outside, thinking that Xiao Yi shouldn't be able to do anything, so she nodded in agreement.
"In this case, let him go out, but if he hasn't come back when Miss Mu comes back, then ......" The empress's words were not finished, but the meaning was self-evident.
Now the situation outside is very chaotic, and Qingchen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Yi to complete some things for Nie Xinrou without avoiding Qingchen, and then come back before Qingchen. Therefore, if Qingchen came back, but Xiao Yi did not come back, it naturally means that Xiao Yi did not help Qingchen, but went to do something else.
"Yes, the Mother Queen, please rest assured, Praruo will definitely help Miss Mu capture the assassin. Nie Xinrou said, then turned to look at Xiao Yi, and spoke again, "You have also heard Your Majesty's words, and you must do your best to help Miss Mu." ”
"Yes. Xiao Yi simply spat out the word in his mouth, and then he didn't turn his head away.
Nie Xinrou's heart couldn't help but rise, she had never avoided Xiao Yi when discussing things with Baolian, because Xiao Yi had already been hit by the Soul Devouring Gu, and she didn't listen to anyone's words except her words, she didn't need to worry about Xiao Yi leaking the news at all. So what she hoped now was that Xiao Yi could understand what she meant, and be able to go out and do something, so that the assassins she had arranged for the main hall would not be discovered by the people under the cloud command.
The dining room fell silent again, Xiao Yi followed Qingchen's steps and walked out, but saw Qingchen perform light skills, and came to the vicinity of the main hall of Cijing Nunnery in Gucheng Mountain without hesitation, and watched Commander Yun lead two teams of forbidden troops to surround those black-clothed assassins, leaving no one a chance to escape.
The scene is very congested, if Nie Xinrou sees this situation, I am afraid she will also understand, even if Xiao Yi knows what to do, it is impossible to do it, because there are forbidden troops everywhere, and there are Yun Commander and Qingchen watching from the side, there is no chance to start at all.
This is what Qingchen planned early on, after inquiring about Nie Xinrou's plan, he started in advance, disrupting Nie Xinrou's plan, so that Nie Xinrou's arrangement had to be stranded for various reasons, and those assassins near the dining room all retreated at the right time, giving Qingchen an excuse to pursue.
And Commander Yun deliberately rushed towards the main hall with a large number of forbidden troops, just to block the retreat of these assassins, the more chaotic the scene, the more impossible it was for those assassins to leave according to the previously planned route, and Nie Xinrou had no way to contact the assassins in such a chaotic scene.
Nie Xinrou should have made a bloody investment, the assassins she found were all strong in martial arts, and in the face of these forbidden troops, she didn't pay attention to them at all, and these forbidden troops had already gone through a bloody battle just now because of the arrangement of Qingchen, and their physical strength was somewhat exhausted, and the slightly weaker ones were also a little exhausted, and they were really not opponents against those assassins.
At the moment when the assassin gained the upper hand, Qingchen and Xiao Yi appeared one after another.
When Commander Yun saw Qingchen, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he was surprised in his heart, she was Nie Xinyao's person, and naturally knew that there was such a wise man by Nie Xinyao's side, giving advice for Nie Xinyao, as long as Qingchen came over, if she wanted to capture these assassins, it must be no problem.
"Miss Mu, those assassins are stubbornly resistant, and many of us are not opponents, what do you think?" Commander Yun asked when he saw Qingchen.
"It's okay, you just take your soldiers and fight as hard as you can, and I'll take care of the rest. Qingchen shook his head and said, "Those who can ask questions, keep them, and the others ...... Lawfully kill on sight. ”
"But...... If the girl joins the warband, I'm afraid that the forbidden army will hurt you if it loses its level......" Commander Yun said.
"It's okay, if I can't even avoid those things, I'm not worthy of doing things for His Highness the Sixth. Qingchen said, turning around and jumping up, flying towards the circle of the forbidden army and the assassins.
Commander Yun looked at Qingchen's determined expression, and he also made up his mind in his heart. This time is a good time to bring down the Three Imperial Maidens, even if Miss Mu is injured by mistake, but if the Three Imperial Maidens can be brought down, presumably the Sixth Highness will not say anything.
Thinking like this, Commander Yun waved his hand and gestured to the forbidden army around him, and saw that many crossbowmen suddenly appeared around, holding a powerful crossbow in their hands that was many times more lethal than a bow and arrow, aiming at the assassins and forbidden troops who were fighting in the field.
At the signal of the cloud commander, the strong crossbows were fired, and the short arrows only carried a strong sound of breaking the wind, and the force was strong into the throat or heart of the assassins, killing them with one blow, and some of the forbidden soldiers were also accidentally injured by the strong crossbows, accompanying the souls of those assassins to the Western Realm.
Qingchen was at ease in the fight and the arrows in the sky, and she didn't seem to take the situation in front of her to heart, because those arrows couldn't hurt her at all, although she was reborn in a lifetime, and her martial arts did not return to the peak state of her previous life, but it was still more than enough to dodge these arrows.
At the same time, those assassins saw Xiao Yi standing there, and they had an idea in their hearts, and the black-clothed people led by them kept approaching Xiao Yi while fighting with the forbidden army, wanting to contact Xiao Yi and listen to Nie Xinrou's instructions. After all, Xiao Yi is the person next to Nie Xinrou, and he never leaves him wherever he goes, which is well known.
Qingchen seemed to see the idea of those assassins, and while she was fighting, she also slowly moved to Xiao Yi's side, just two steps away from Xiao Yi, not far away, not too close, not too much contact with Xiao Yi, but also just able to stare at other people, and also in the sound of the collision of weapons, the conversation between the man in black and Xiao Yi could be heard clearly.
The black-clothed man led by him approached Xiao Yi and was about to speak, Qingchen listened attentively, wanting to inquire about some news, but at this time, another black-clothed man approached Qingchen, raised the sword in his hand, and stabbed Qingchen in the back.
"Her Royal Highness the Three Princesses can have ......"
"Dust-"
The two voices sounded at the same time, and Qingchen, who was listening intently, was in a turbulent mood, except for the words of the man in black who was the leader, she clearly heard Xiao Yi call her name.
was about to speak, but saw that Xiao Yi didn't say a word, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, but with one move, he beheaded the black-clothed man in front of him under the sword, and then took a step and came to Qingchen's side, blocking the offensive behind Qingchen, and the action was incredible.
The long sword swept, the tip of the sword swept from the neck of the man in black, and a slender bloodshot suddenly appeared on the neck of the man in black, the man in black did not feel pain, the movement in his hand continued, but his body froze involuntarily and slowly fell.
And Qingchen was a little stunned by Xiao Yi's series of actions, she seemed to have forgotten that this was still a battlefield, and her side was still full of crises, as if she had forgotten that there were still enemies that had not been destroyed, and that she still had a mission.
Looking at Xiao Yi like this, her eyes changed from surprise to joy, and then she was excited, and a hundred and ten emotions flashed from her eyes one by one, silent is better than sound, and she was completely knocked by Xiao Yi.
"You...... It's been a long time since I've been called like this. Qingchen involuntarily spoke, smiling.
At this moment, the murderous aura around her suddenly increased, and the powerful murderous aura disturbed Qingchen, she came back to her senses from her thoughts, backhanded a sword, and followed Xiao Yi's example, killing the murderous man in black.
The two seem to have returned to the days when they used to fight the enemy hand in hand, back to back, everything was silent, handing over their rear to each other, giving each other boundless trust.
You come and go, become each other's guards, solve all the fish that slip through the net for each other, and do not let the other party suffer any harm, and live up to the original intention.
