Princess Huaping returned to her original face, remembering what happened to her in King Xiao's mansion, Wu felt palpitations, recalled the original assassination plan, and felt as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, why should she take such a risk? The princess was not used to blaming herself, so her suspicion quickly turned to others.

Shangguan Ru noticed that the princess's gaze was a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

The princess came to her senses, now was not the time to shirk her responsibility, she was not out of danger, "Who is the woman who is chasing you......?" It's weird, Luo Pingying said that she is a top master. ”

"She's a friend I used to know, and we had a bit of a misunderstanding. Shangguan Ru said, thinking that the misunderstanding between them would probably never be explained.

Luo Pingying led his own swordsman to rescue the princess and the queen mother, their whereabouts did not escape Shangguan Ru's eyes, she quickly followed, but encountered Huo Yun's interception, the two fought from inside the mansion to outside the mansion, Nie Zeng participated, originally wanted to fight two against one, but Shangguan Ru did not allow him to kill Huo Yun, so it evolved into a three-way fight.

The princess hadn't transferred her grievances to Shangguan Ru at that time, so she ordered Luo Pingying to go over to help, Huo Yun was the killer, and when she found that the situation was not in her favor, she immediately fled.

When everyone returned to the princess's chamberlain's house, Luo Pingying believed that Huo Yun had been following them, so he assigned swordsmen to defend them strictly, and he himself went to find out the news.

The princess didn't ask Huo Yun's identity, she had more serious questions to consider, "Luo Cong betrayed me, this bastard ......" The princess looked around, Pang Jing lost his soul, the two swordsmen were watching outside the room without distraction, the attendant and Yahuan were pale, as if they had even lost their souls, and in the end, only Shangguan Ru and the Queen Mother were worth talking to, "What is going on with King Xiao?" He actually sent Yu Linjun to raid his house. ”

Shangguan Ru also felt confused, the Queen Mother was the only person in this room who remained calm, she once refused to leave the palace, especially the touch of the Luo family swordsman, and finally the princess gave an order, a swordsman carried the Queen Mother and left, the Queen Mother did not find that she lacked anything, but she was very unhappy in her heart.

"Of course, the emperor wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, how can he let a group of Jianghu guests go around claiming to be the emperor's benefactor?" The queen mother was very satisfied with her son's ruthlessness.

"Ungrateful. The princess whispered, suddenly thinking that she was also the object of the emperor's ingratitude, and raised her voice: "Isn't the emperor afraid of rebellion by the rivers and lakes? ”

The princess made a slashing move, and her assassination plan was not carried out, and she couldn't help but be angry.

"If the emperor is so easy to kill, won't the world be in chaos long ago?" the queen mother patiently taught earnestly, "The palace guards thought that the emperor was dead, so they would stand by and watch, and the emperor would reappear in his true body, and they would immediately run to pay allegiance." And the emperor will give these Jianghu people a crime later, if I guess correctly, the group of thieves can't show any evidence that they are doing things for the emperor or King Xiao, and the survivors will not only not take revenge, but also have to find ways to get rid of their involvement, claiming that they have been deceived. ”

"Insidious. The princess gritted her teeth, angry that she had lost a trick in her scheme.

"Listen. Shangguan Ru pointed outside, paused for a while and continued, "Don't you think it's strange?"

The streets were full of officers and soldiers, loudly ordering all families not to go out for the time being, the government was searching for the remnants of the thieves, and King Xiao and Yulinjun had taken control of the situation.

"What's wrong?" the princess didn't understand what was strange, "King Xiao was proud. ”

"There is no news from the emperor. Shangguan said.

Once the princess thought about it seriously, she reacted very quickly, "Haha, Queen Mother, although your 'emperor' is smart, you just forgot one thing......"

"No way. Without waiting for the princess to finish speaking, the Queen Mother categorically denied it.

"Is it impossible for King Xiao to betray?" The princess had been suppressed by the Queen Mother's momentum, and finally let out a sigh of relief, "The emperor has been 'dead' for a month, and the charges are placed on the heads of you and me, and they are ready-made, why doesn't King Xiao choose?"

"King Xiao doesn't have the guts. The Queen Mother ended her conclusion with a sentence, she knew King Xiao and believed that the emperor had the ability to control this uncle.

The princess pursed her lips, in her heart, she also thought that King Xiao didn't have this ability, "Then why didn't the emperor show up?"

"Because you and I are not dead. The queen mother came up with a reason for the emperor, "I am **, you are a princess, no matter how big the crime is, the emperor will be pardoned after he appears, so he can't show up now." ”

This explanation sounds a little reasonable, but the princess can't argue, and is trying to find other reasons to stimulate the Queen Mother, Luo Pingying, who went out to find out the news, is back.

As the leader of the Luo family's swordsmen, Luo Pingying and the princess had never met before, but he still insisted on protecting the princess as an oath.

His face was not very good, "There are rumors in the capital, all of which say that the ministers of the court and the central government are preparing to go out of the city together to welcome King Xiao into the palace and ascend the throne. ”

"No way. The Queen Mother denied it again, but her tone was not as sure as before.

Luo Pingying glanced at the Queen Mother and continued to say to the princess: "The Yulin Army has taken control of the whole city, killed many Jianghu people, the survivors have escaped from the city, you can't walk casually on the street, this place is not suitable for a long time, Your Highness should also prepare to leave the city." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Luojiazhuang, or somewhere to hide, the world is so big, there is always a place to hide. ”

The princess let out a series of laughs, and then also glanced at the Queen Mother, although they have been enemies since the first day of acquaintance, they are also people who understand each other at this moment, "Luo Pingying, I am not from the rivers and lakes, although the world is big, I can only live in the capital, leave here, hide in the east without power and power, and kill me now." ”

This is also the reason why the Queen Mother is willing to wait for death, unless the emperor is willing to forgive her and restore her status, the Queen Mother would rather die.

Luo Pingying actually understood what the princess meant, and bowed slightly, "Please allow Your Highness to let me go of the two disciples to inherit the Luo family's swordsmanship, and the others will stay and do their duty to death." ”

The princess was astonished, she regarded loyalty as inevitable, but she never imagined that it would be the swordsmen who rarely met her who would stay with her at the last moment, and not the group of bearded men and officials of the court.

"Of course, you can let a few go. ”

There were only seven swordsmen left in the Locke family, and Luo Pingying called them all in and designated two people, "Pingsheng, you are not the best swordsman in the Locke family, but you have learned all the stunts of the Locke family, so you have to live." Shaojie is still young, the future is limitless, and he should live. In the future, the two of you are masters and apprentices, don't go back to Luojiazhuang, find a place to be incognito, and practice your martial arts well until you have the ability to regain the world from the hands of the people of the Western Regions, understand?"

"Yes. The two swordsmen neither shirked nor promised, and bowed their bids to the other five Locke swordsmen one by one, then bowed to the princess, said nothing, and turned to leave.

The princess was deeply moved, and she made another decision, and said to the attendants and maids, "Don't wait for me to die, and go to your own life." ”

The attendant felt that he should say something, but he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to get it if he overdid it, so he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the princess a few times, got up and ran out trembling slightly, and everyone else did the same, and no one dared to squeak.

The princess sighed, thinking that this was the final end, and suddenly laughed, and said to the queen mother, "I have five swordsmen left, but you have nothing." ”

"My son will rule the world alone. The Queen Mother refused to admit defeat at all.

The princess shook her head with a smile and turned to Shangguan Ru: "You can go too, you are not from the Central Plains, let alone my entourage, so you can't get involved in the things here." When facing Pang Jing, his face sank, "You can't go, you must stay and die." ”

"The princess gave up too soon. Shangguan said.

"This is not the Western Regions. The princess said softly, this is the first time she admits that she is much older than Shangguan Ru, "You see a few of us are fighting back and forth, in fact, the decision is in the hands of those ministers who do not show up, they refused to come forward last night, I ...... and the Queen Mother have already lost completely. The so-called assassination was just a whim of mine, and I'm sorry to have bothered you. ”

There was an atmosphere of telling the truth in the room, and Shangguan Ru said, "I have my own selfish intentions. She looked at the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother has already told me everything." ”

The princess smiled and was willing to give her heart and soul for another person, which must have been a good feeling, but she could no longer experience it, perhaps never before, "Then you don't have to stay, go to the Dragon King, tell him the truth, and tell him that the Queen Mother and I died together, and his enemy is the only one left with the emperor." ”

"The truth!" Shangguan Ru's eyes lit up, wondering why he hadn't thought of this earlier.

"What?"

"The emperor is not dead at all, so the charge of killing the monarch is naturally not established, and it only needs to be proved that the Jinpeng killer has nothing to do with the queen mother and princess, then even the last charge does not exist. ”

The princess and the queen mother glanced at each other, and no one showed interest, "The emperor can always find the crime, he will say that he discovered the danger in advance, so he secretly arranged a stand-in, although he is not dead, the fact that I and the queen mother 'killed the king' still can't get rid of." No one would believe us at all. ”

"Someone will believe it. ”

"Who?"

"Those heroes who survived, they were framed by King Xiao and the emperor, there will always be people who wake up, they will believe in the princess and the queen mother. ”

"A rabble. The princess whispered, but she was a little moved, and the performance of the Locke swordsman just now gave her a little hope.

"I will not be an enemy of the emperor. The Queen Mother flatly refused.

"Not for the enemy. The princess hurriedly explained, "We will not snatch the throne, but just restore the previous position, and a little lower is acceptable." ”

The Queen Mother is still hesitating.

Luo Pingying suddenly pulled out his sword, and the other four swordsmen immediately blocked in front of the princess.

Two things broke through the window, fell to the ground and rolled a few times, everyone gasped, it was clearly the heads of Luo Pingsheng and Luo Shaojie, the two who carried the hope of the Luo family, died before they left the capital.

Shangguan Ru knew that Huo Yun was chasing after him. (To be continued.) )
