Chapter 413 The leader of the female assassin who has hatred with her
Shangguan Hongye's expression suddenly changed - these assassins are so cruel!
No one knows better than him how much his father fears the Red Blood Legion!
They actually assassinated Ming Lanruo while shouting that they were following her orders to assassinate the royal family!
Although he was unarmed, he angrily overturned the table, flew out, and slammed the table against the assassins: "You are full of nonsense, how dare you slander the princess!!"
Several assassins were hit and screamed, vomiting blood.
King Qin's bravery is known all over the world. He has no weapons in his hands, so he uses everything around him as weapons to hit the assassin.
Chun He and Jing Ming also grabbed the metal wine vessels or accessories they had in hand.
Amid the screams, Jing Ming rushed towards the assassin to fight, while Chun He stood in front of Ming Lanruo to protect her.
But there were too many assassins. The jugglers and dancers at the banquet all drew out their weapons and hacked away at the concubines, noble ladies and ladies of the clan without any explanation.
For a moment, blood splattered everywhere and screams broke out.
Aunt Tan actually had some martial arts skills. She stood in front of the Queen Mother and took two maids who knew martial arts to protect not only the Queen Mother, but also many noble ladies and concubines who happened to be in this direction.
The Queen Mother is used to seeing big scenes. Although her face is a bit livid at the moment, she is calmly directing people to protect the concubines and ladies around her.
However, many people saw that there seemed to be safety in the direction of the Queen Mother, and many people wanted to escape in the direction of the Queen Mother in embarrassment.
Even though Aunt Tan was somewhat capable, she was overwhelmed and unable to cope with the situation.
Under the siege of the assassins, blood was seen on his body, and he had to retreat in embarrassment.
Ming Lanruo quickly dodged the assassin's hidden weapon while keeping an eye on the direction of the Queen Mother. Seeing that the situation was not good, she immediately said to Chunhe: "Escort me to the Queen Mother!"
Chunhe nodded, stood and retreated, escorting Ming Lanruo to the Queen Mother.
Ming Lanruo glanced at Zhou Xiangyun who was hiding in the corner and trembled, waved to her and shouted: "Come here quickly!"
Zhou Xiangyun was stunned and looked at Ming Lanruo in disbelief. Did she really want to save him?
She was so stunned that she saw an assassin suddenly rush from behind and strike her with a knife!
Zhou Xiangyun couldn't help shouting in panic: "Wait a minute, I am Concubine Zhou..."
"You are the one who will be killed!" The assassin sneered and kept cutting Zhou Xiangyun's neck open as soon as he saw it.
Zhou Xiangyun closed her eyes tightly in despair and covered her head suddenly, but she heard the assassin groan and fall down in front of her with a "thud".
"Why are you in a daze? Get up quickly!" Ming Lanruo's anxious and cold voice sounded above her head, but at this moment it was like the sound of nature saving her life.
Zhou Xiangyun was still in a daze when Ming Lanruo pulled her behind her, hid behind Chunming, and retreated in the direction of the Queen Mother.
Zhou Xiangyun's mood was complicated and painful.
Although she just gave Ming Lanruo a hint, but...she and Ming Lanruo were just exchanging benefits.
Doesn't a person like Ming Lanruo, like his father, aunt, and even the King of Qin, regard them as disposable tools?
Like...
My aunt actually asked someone to kill her?
She was not a fool. After the knife was chopped down and the assassin said those words, she knew her aunt's intention for such an arrangement——
An "important" person in the Zhou family must die in order to win the trust of His Majesty and the world. The Queen knew nothing about the bloody assassination at her banquet, and was even a victim, so the Queen had no responsibility.
Anyway, my father still had several daughters from concubines. Without her, Zhou Xiangyun, there could be other Zhou concubines.
Zhou Xiangyun's eyes turned red and tears fell silently.
…
Ming Lanruo didn't know what was going on in Zhou Xiangyun's concubine's mind, so she thought she was frightened.
She pulled Zhou Xiangyun and looked around, seeing that something was wrong. The door of the Queen's Palace not far away was actually closed.
Many ladies and ladies who originally rushed to the palace gate could not escape, but instead screamed under the assassin's sword.
Jing Ming was trying to break through the palace gate, but the effect was not very good. He was held back by several assassins who were not afraid of death, but Shangguan Hongye...
Those assassins attacked him in vain, but they didn't dare to actually hurt him. Instead, the fool chased the assassin and beat him on the butt.
"Shangguan Hongye, come here!" Ming Lanruo frowned and shouted at Shangguan Hongye.
When Shangguan Hongye turned around, he found that Ming Lanruo had run away from him at some unknown moment and was still dragging his lost wife closely.
Shangguan Hongye was stunned for a moment, but he quickly turned around and rushed over. He had already snatched the assassin's knife from his hand.
"Go to the Queen Mother and find a way to protect the other women!" If Minglan figured it out, Shangguan Hongye would be the best shield.
But Shangguan Hongye didn't notice anything unusual, and immediately followed her instructions, and together with Chunhe, they protected her and retreated back together with Zhou Xiangyun.
Along the way, Ming Lanruo also picked up some ladies and young ladies who were frightened to death, but could still manage to get up and run away.
Sure enough, with Shangguan Hongye protecting them, his assassins were timid and did not dare to do anything to them.
Empress Zhou hid behind the Queen Mother and watched as Ming Lanruo and his men retreated, while her son fiercely protected her. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She wanted to rush over and slap her son several times.
But Shangguan Hongye had already covered the retreat and even killed several assassins who were besieging Granny Tan and the others, greatly reducing the pressure.
Seeing that all the main targets were gathered together, except for a few scattered assassins who were still hunting down those powerless ladies and ladies, most of the assassins gathered around the Queen Mother and others.
Shangguan Hongye danced his sword fiercely and said angrily: "You shameless people, if you don't retreat quickly, I will spare your life!"
But unexpectedly, the leading female assassin pointed at Ming Lanruo with a sneer: "If you are willing to hand over our Miss Ming, we can let you go, she is our leader!"
These provocative remarks immediately made the ladies and concubines around the Queen Mother look angrily at Ming Lanruo, the "culprit."
The Queen Mother immediately raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Shut up, you idiots, really the Ai family can't see that the one you really want to kill is Lan Ruo!"
The female assassin looked at Ming Lanruo bitterly and coldly and smiled——
"The Queen Mother, how could we kill Concubine Ming? You are holding her hostage now, otherwise we would have killed all you beasts!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the assassins all set up their crossbows and aimed at the Queen Mother and others.
Everyone was so scared that they fell into silence.
Shangguan Hongye took a sharp look and found that the structure of those crossbows looked like those in the military. Suspicion flashed in his heart, why did the assassin have crossbows in the military?
Before he could figure out why, Empress Zhou grabbed him and whispered in his ear from behind: "Hongye, hurry up and leave from the window. You are good at martial arts. It will be much faster if you go alone!"
Ming Lanruo looked at him with cold eyes: "Shangguan Hongye, you can't leave. If you leave, everyone here, except your mother, will die!"
How could she not see that Queen Zhou wanted to get rid of her son? Shangguan Hongye, a fool, probably didn't know that his mother had set up this bloody Hongmen Banquet.
Shangguan Hongye's face turned serious: "What do you want to say?!"
Empress Zhou became anxious, glanced at the leading female assassin, and made a secret gesture.
As soon as the female assassin raised her hand, the assassins suddenly fired crossbow arrows at the Queen Mother and others.
Shangguan Hongye, Chunhe, Granny Tan and others were shocked and immediately raised their hands to shoot down the crossbow arrows.
But there were too many people hiding behind them, and they couldn't take care of them. Screams and blood broke out everywhere.
The leading female assassin moved and grabbed Ming Lanruo: "Come with us, Miss Ming!"
Ming Lanruo clearly saw the resentment in her eyes, and there was a sharp hidden weapon hidden in the hand she grabbed, and doubts arose in her heart——
This assassin leader seems to have a grudge against her?
