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 noble ladies, most of the assassins gathered around the Queen Mother and others.
Shangguan Hongye wielded 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 had already grabbed him and whispered into 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 she had doubts in her heart——
This assassin leader seems to have a grudge against her? This chapter has been completed!
