She became nervous instantly, and her hands covered by her sleeves could not help but clenched her fists tightly. Qian Guanguan yelled at the top of his lungs: "Here comes someone! Protect the empress! Protect the empress!"
These secret guards look like deadpools. Although they are tightly wrapped, they can't resist the murderous intention of the Jianghu people emanating from their bodies. If the soldiers don't behave weirdly, I don't know which sect's rules they are.
After these deadpools landed, they first took the sword in their hands and circled it around their necks...
Seen as a threat?
Tell people I'm going to wipe your neck before fighting?!
Chu Yunjing couldn't help but think too much. Seeing these people approaching, Qiu Kang was so frightened that he wet his pants and even blocked her in front of her with his arms.
In the flash of lightning, the swords in the hands of the two leading killers stabbed at her and Qiu Kang. Qiu Kang gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, pushing her back hard.
When they opened their eyes again, there was a Hengdao guard facing them.
It’s Zhou Yang!
Zhou Yang descended from the sky, and his extraordinary sword power shocked everyone... No, he was using the Forbidden Army waist sword at the moment. It should be the 'extraordinary sword power'. A horizontal sword missed Chu Yunjing's two swords by just one centimeter.
A killer wiped his neck.
The blood spurting out from the necks of the two men made Qiu Kang, who was closest to him, glare in the face. He was so frightened that Qiu Kang stared at his big eyes. His other hand still did not take back half a step to block Chu Yunching.
forward.
Chu Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, and the sword he was holding was finally removed. Seeing the unusual visitor, the killers became cautious, changed their moves, and seemed to form some kind of formation.
Holding the sword in front of him, Zhou Yang began to circle around the group of them. Zhou Yang did not raise his head, holding the blood-stained Imperial Army waist knife in his right hand and stroking the scabbard on his waist with his left hand.
He raised his eyebrows and quickly killed only his shadow. Zhou Yang's move was so fast that no one could see clearly. The killers fell to the ground with pain on their faces before they could react.
What move was used? It was so fast that it was ghosted. Chu Yunjing tried to see clearly, but there were only residual moves floating among the killers. Is this the power of the master? He didn’t even leave out the way to attack.
Others study it carefully?!
They couldn't just watch the show. Qian Guanguan had just come over and no one was looking at the magpie. Chu Yunjing turned around to look for the magpie, but this girl wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Before the killers all rushed to Zhou Yang's side.
The magpie hunched over and ran out in a dejected manner. It had already gone a foot away and was about to reach the door.
These dead waiters did not allow any of them to run out of the courtyard, so four dead waiters escaped from Zhou Yang's encirclement and went to kill the magpie.
Chu Yunjing was about to call Magpie to stop, but before she could say anything, Magpie was pierced by the killer's sharp sword, and she stayed where she was.
The killers didn't even give them a chance to breathe. After killing the magpie, they rushed towards Chu Yunjing. Zhou Yang was standing aside, having no background, and was not aware of the murderous intent at all.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Chu Yunjing picked up the dead killer's sword from the ground. The sword was extremely heavy. She raised it with difficulty, and awkwardly raised the sword in her hand to block it. The killer's sword was struck vertically, and she blocked it horizontally.
past.
With a bang, the sword in her hand was knocked to the ground. What a good sword in her hand, it was like scrap metal and could only block a short blow.
The moment he was knocked to the ground, the sword fell on Qian Guanguan's head. The hilt of the sword knocked Qian Guanguan unconscious, and they both fell down together.
Just when Qian Guanguan fell to the ground, a general wearing soft armor rushed in from the door.
At this time, Zhou Yang noticed that someone with extraordinary swordsmanship had entered the courtyard, so he restrained his previous moves and sword intent, and only used the most common moves to attack and defend. Even so, the killers were unable to stop him.
The general came in and struck out from behind, knocking down the four killers who had just rushed towards Chu Yunjing.
At this time, Zhou Yang also killed all the assassins at hand, and hurriedly left to go to Chu Yunjing to plead guilty. He knelt on one knee, holding the handle of the sword upside down with both hands. The sword was still dripping with blood. He raised his hand and said sincerely: "I belong to you."
The rescuer is late, but I still hope that the empress will atone for her sins!"
This apology made Qiu Kang come back to his senses. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed tremblingly. He was so frightened that he pressed his head heavily on the ground. It also meant to apologize.
The ground was in a mess, and blood flowed like a small river towards the outlet. The black-clothed and masked killers who were just full of murderous intent were all scattered here and there. Now they were completely lifeless, and it was too horrible to see.
Chu Yunjing didn't think too much. She had just come out of the fear of life and death. Seeing Zhou Yang kneeling on the ground, she quickly went to help him: "Are you okay?"
She completely forgot that there was a general coming behind her, and anxiously grabbed Zhou Yang's arms and looked around, fearing that Zhou Yang had been injured in the fight with the thief just now.
At this time, Zhou Yang gave her a fierce wink. The two were close, and Chu Yunjing blocked the general behind him. She could not see Zhou Yang's subtle expression. At first, she was confused about what Zhou Yang meant, but she still looked worriedly.
.
A strong male voice came from behind, and she finally realized: "I have met Princess Qi in the end."
Hearing this sound, she thought of the general who came in from the direction of the magpie corpse. She was stunned in place, and her two hands loosened their grip on Zhou Yang's arm.
Zhou Yang was still winking at her, but this time she understood. She swept away her previous panic expression and turned around pretending to be dignified and calm.
The general had sheathed his sword, held the scabbard in both hands and knelt down on one knee.
"Without courtesy, I would like to thank this general for his life-saving grace. I don't know which family the general belongs to, so I can go and reward him and say thank you!" she asked with a sad face.
The identity of the visitor was unknown, so it was inevitable that the Queen had a back-up plan. She had never seen this general, whether it was from the Forbidden Army or any minister, let alone any general who came to the palace to pay a visit would come to the Sixth Palace...
Chu Yunjing felt suspicious and looked at the man in front of him who was wearing silver armor and was worn by many years of work. His hands were rough and bruised, as if he had been through battles for a long time.
The general did not raise his head and said without surprise or joy: "The last general is Zhongbei Army Zhongwu General Wen Shao!"
Zhenbei Army!!!
Have the Zhenbei Army returned?
Wen Shao is the third son of the Marquis Wen family!
The previous news that the Zhenbei Army had won another great victory and that it might be possible to return to the court in the near future was based on speculation. Now, does Wen Shao's arrival confirm these news?
Zhaoyuandian always kept a strict tone and never disclosed any news about the previous dynasty. She didn't know that Wen Shao had returned to Beijing and met him here.
What about her husband...will he come back?
Smoothing his thoughts, his words were a little stumbling: "Uh...it turns out to be General Wen. Please get up quickly. You...are you back from the front line?"
Last year, I heard that Beiyue was attacking again. Wen Shao, who was supposed to return to Beijing, was prevented from doing so for the first time. He became the only one who fought against the enemy in Beiyue in these years.
The war continued until half a month ago, and the battle ended again with the defeat of Beiyue. From seven years ago to the present, the Zhenbei Army and Beiyue have fought more than three hundred consecutive battles. Most of them were defeated by the Northern Barbarians, but why are they still fighting?
The national power of small countries must be compensated to invade the Central Plains.
I heard that Beiyue has really been unable to bear it in the past two years. It has been fighting for many years and it is difficult to grow any grass. Even if it does some fur and rare meat business, it will be difficult to sustain the war.
Maybe Beiyue has the intention of reconciliation. He had a good life when he had a no-war treaty with Da Feng. The army was rich and the people were strong. However, the new king had three fires when he took office. He had to burn the fire of war, which only caused two troubles.
The people on the country's borders are suffering unspeakably.
not authentic!
If the rumors of armistice and reconciliation are true, then I hope that this reconciliation can be negotiated, so that hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Zhenbei Army can return to their hometowns, and their families will no longer be left alone. Living a harmonious and beautiful life is the right way...
"The last general is here to serve as the herald. King Beiyue wants to come to the capital to meet with His Majesty to discuss a reconciliation treaty."
Sure enough, it was the wind of the battlefield that made people grow old. I had met Wen Shao's wife before. She was twenty-four or five years old and she was pretty and lovely. Wen Shao was probably not much older, and she seemed much older than her peers.
It is these soldiers on the front line who, with their sword-wielding hands and their faces that have seen the vicissitudes of life, are able to maintain the elegance and splendor of the Great Feng Dynasty.
The most miserable thing was for them, the soldiers on the front line. She felt sick when she thought of the fawning and colluding faces in the court.
The clan nobles in the court have no bottom line to protect their own interests all day long, oppressing poor families, worshiping superiors and suppressing inferiors. What shame do they have to waste this hard-earned and stable life.
Whenever I make a mistake, I will only use words like "protecting Dafeng's face, protecting Dafeng's foundation, for the sake of the Holy One, my ancestors have made meritorious deeds" to seek blessing. Incompetent people hide behind these words, and they are worse than pigs and dogs!
The evil world!
Now that King Beiyue is coming to Kyoto to pay homage to His Majesty, it is inevitably a major event that attracts national attention.
Must be negotiated!
She thought in her heart that she must reconcile whether it was for personal or public reasons.
"Thank you for your hard work, General. Are you here to look for me, General?"
She asked questions unabashedly and always went straight to the point. She couldn't think of any other reason for Wen Shao to appear in the Shangfu Bureau except to look for her.
"Yes, I will be looking for you in the future. Firstly, I will tell you that the war will be reconciled, that King Beiyue will come to Kyoto, and also the prince! If everything goes well, your Majesty will soon issue an order to summon His Highness back to the capital, and then the Empress will also be able to meet His Highness.
.One more thing, His Highness’ concubine Lan is already four months pregnant.”
The two were seven steps apart. Wen Shao stood tall and straight, and reported slowly.
She nodded frequently as she listened, sifting through the useful information in the words.
Pregnant? Concubine?
The husband and his concubine had a child without even meeting each other!
She probably understood Ning Ruoshui's feelings. She was a little angry, but she had to be generous. She was not too angry. It made sense if she thought about it carefully. After all, men don't keep themselves clean...
"I know, thank you, General. The General hasn't come home yet, has he? You should go home early. Your parents, wife and children are waiting for you at home. Please tell them that you are safe!" She smiled dryly.
Then Wen Shao mentioned his younger siblings, Wen Zhao and Wen Qi, and it would be a good time to come back so that they could catch up with Wen Qi and Chu Che's wedding ceremony.
Wen Shao is a smart person, and she feels that he is not as pedantic and unreasonable as Mrs. Wen.
