657 [How is it in the world] (6)
In addition to Emperor Kaiping and Minister of Rites Tang Jian, there were two eunuchs holding trays at the center of the altar. These were people around the emperor, so even Pei Yue didn't pay much attention.
The eunuch on the left threw away the tray and rushed towards Emperor Kaiping. He touched the back of his head with his right hand, and a sharp wooden bun appeared in his palm.
For the warriors in this world, only a few people can do it. Flying flowers and picking leaves to kill people without being seen can be done by this quick and agile inner prisoner. However, he is obviously not a weakling with no strength.
The distance of one foot can be crossed in only two or three steps, and that bun of hair in his hand can be used as a murder weapon to take someone's life.
The incident happened suddenly. The imperial guards were all around the center of the altar. The one closest to the emperor was Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites.
Several people standing at the edge of the altar shouted harshly, but their reactions were different.
Wang Pingzhang, Duke of Wei, and Han Gongduan, who participated in the political affairs of Dongfu, shouted "Guide". The former rushed forward without any hesitation. Although the latter was twenty years younger, his legs and feet were not as good as those of Wang Pingzhang, who had practiced martial arts.
However, there was someone who moved faster than Wang Pingzhang. When the eunuch threw away the tray, the eldest prince Liu Xian rushed forward like an arrow from a string, his face full of anxiety and anger. His two younger brothers were incomparable.
It seems a little slower. Of course, this is because Liu Xian has shown good martial arts talent since he was a child. Although he is not as talented as Ye Qi and Gu Fan, he is still quite outstanding among the children of the royal family.
Wang Pingzhang was not good at martial arts cultivation, which Pei Yue had confirmed a few years ago.
Time seemed to be suddenly slowed down, and everyone's movements were clearly visible in Pei Yue's eyes.
He saw Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites, standing in front of Emperor Kaiping, Wang Pingzhang's unfailingly angry expression, Liu Xian rushing forward with all his strength, the second prince seemed to have accidentally twisted his ankle, and two figures on the right side of the altar were flying up and down.
The assassin who came up was surrounded by the imperial guards who were rushing towards the center of the altar like a wave.
It seems like a long time passed, but in reality it was just a blink of an eye.
Pei Yue made his own choice. He ignored the inner prisoner who suddenly became angry. He kicked the ground with his right foot. All the energy from his body spurted out. His body was like a bolt of lightning and he rushed towards the two assassins. He was so fast that he left a row of people behind.
Afterimage.
Even if the eunuch is a master of martial arts, he cannot be a supreme master, otherwise he will definitely be unable to hide it. Even if Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites, loses his life, he can still block it, and this time is enough time for the imperial guards to react.
On the contrary, the two assassins on the right are very dangerous.
The distance of six to seven feet was swept by Pei Yue, and he arrived not far from Emperor Kaiping at almost the same time as the two assassins.
These two assassins are not young, they are about thirty or forty years old. Their figure, face and temperament are not outstanding. They are characters who are difficult to attract attention in the crowd.
Pei Yue's pupils suddenly shrank like needles.
The assassin actually has a dagger in his hand!
You must know that Pei Yue has never been an arrogant person. He doesn't like the emperor's fishing tactics, so he not only mobilizes the elite troops to protect him in the overall situation, but also does not relax internally. Since Emperor Kaiping felt that another force was also in the hands of
There may be a confidant of the Fourth Prince, so he will not allow any weapons to appear in the Circular Mound Altar.
Everyone who entered the Circular Qiu Altar today, except Wang Pingzhang, Han Gongduan, Tang Jian and the three princes, were all carefully inspected by the imperial guards to ensure that no weapons were brought in, and then there was a fight between the imperial guards.
Check each other and make sure everything is as safe as possible.
However, the two assassins who suddenly appeared actually had daggers in their hands. There was only one possibility for this, and that was that someone had hidden the weapons in the Circular Mound Altar.
The two assassins looked at Emperor Kaiping who was only a few steps away, completely ignoring Pei Yue who was standing in the middle.
They took action at the same time, approaching quickly from the left and right, the daggers in their hands glowing with a terrifying cold light.
Pei Yue heard the exclamation of Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites, from behind him. He thought he had been stabbed by the eunuch. At this time, he had no time to worry about the minister. He knew very well the crisis he faced.
At this moment, Pei Yue didn't hesitate at all. He took a step back, threw his right fist behind him, then exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and the tip of his tongue was like spring thunder.
A punch hits like a cannonball!
The body swung out in an arc.
His fist hit the wrist of the assassin on the left, and the dagger fell. At the same time, the dagger of the assassin on the right plunged hard into his shoulder.
However, since the other party dared to assassinate the emperor, how could he give up easily, let alone panic?
The assassin on the right took a step forward, hugged Pei Yue with his left hand, put his right hand on the dagger, and pushed forward hard.
The assassin on the left did not panic, leaned down to pick up the dagger that fell on the ground, and leaped forward to sprint towards Emperor Kaiping's heart.
The severe pain from his shoulders tore through his heart and lungs. Pei Yue let out an angry roar and punched the assassin holding him in the nose with his backhand, smashing the man beyond recognition. At the same time, he raised his right foot and kicked the opponent in the crotch.
He used his strength to hit another assassin, using himself as a weapon.
His perspective cannot see the situation behind him. Although his movements are slightly slower than that of the assassin, the emperor behind him should not be frightened and completely stunned. As long as he can avoid it in time, even if he is a little embarrassed, Pei Yue
You can knock the assassin away.
Both sides know that success or failure depends on one move, and they also know that the opportunity is just a hair's breadth away.
The assassin who jumped towards Emperor Kaiping suddenly had a look of panic and fear in his eyes, and then he jumped into the air.
At the same time, Pei Yue had already bumped into him.
The two of them groaned in unison and fell heavily to the ground.
Pei Yue turned his head hard and looked to the side, only to see that the dagger with cold light was still in the assassin's hand. There was no blood on the dagger. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt the sharp pain in his shoulder rushing to his forehead. Even if he was so determined,
A perseverant person can't help grinning.
The assassin wanted to get up, but was immediately restrained by the imperial guards who caught up in time.
The assassin who was kicked away by Pei Yue also suffered the same fate.
The imperial guards looked at Pei Yue who fell to the ground with fear and gratitude in their hearts. Although their reaction was quick enough, the assassins finally took the opportunity. The gap in that moment was enough for the assassins to attack Kai evenly.
poses a mortal danger to the emperor.
If Pei Yue hadn't tried his best to block the assassin's fatal blow, none of these imperial guards would have survived, and their families might have been harmed.
Even though someone helped Pei Yue up, no one dared to touch the dagger on his shoulder.
Pei Yue finally had the chance to look behind him and saw Emperor Kaiping still standing intact, looking at him gently.
Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites, was not injured, but the eunuch fell at his feet, with the bun stuck in his own throat.
Pei Yue wondered, could it be that the Minister of Rites was actually a hidden master of martial arts?
