Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

There was a dense crowd of people outside the imperial city, and the cold moonlight on the armor reflected their cold and solemn faces, making their murderous intent even more apparent in the night.

They didn't move, only a louder curse than a loud sound.

"Chu Tianlang, you have committed many crimes by killing your father and brother. I am here today to avenge my father and brother! I will kill you, a treasonous son!"

"Since the founding of the country by the Taizu, our great Chu army is strong and the treasury is full, but it has only been in your hands for more than [-] years. The Chu country is full of powerful and powerful people, and the people are fish and meat! Disasters are everywhere! This is because you have killed too much! Killing your father How can a sinner who killed a brother through the ages deserve to be an emperor?"

The King of Shu's voice was hoarse, but the voices of the soldiers around him were loud enough to yell out all these words for him, almost resounding through half of the capital.

The emperor led Concubine Shu and hurried out, but after hearing this, he paused for a step.

"When will Pei Anlin arrive?" The emperor's tone was filled with anger.

At this moment, a burst of fireworks was released from the west side of the imperial city. Eunuch Li quickly replied after seeing it: "The signal has been sent out. According to General Pei's speed, it will take half an hour at the slowest to reach the edge of the imperial city." !"

The emperor's face became more and more ferocious under the reflection of the fireworks in the distance, and he held Concubine Shu so hard that it seemed as if he wanted to pinch Concubine Shu's hand off.

Concubine Shu didn't dare to make any complaints, even though her hand hurt unbearably, she still looked weak and leaned tightly on the emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, let's hide in the secret room first." Concubine Shu persuaded in a low voice, "After all, the King of Shu brought an army of [-], and the guards in our palace can't resist that many people."

"I thought I had raised an obedient dog, but I didn't expect him to hide evil intentions!" The anger in the emperor's heart reached its peak: "If I had known today, I shouldn't have left his humble life in the first place!"

The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and a strange blush appeared on his face.

When Concubine Shu saw this, her heart stopped suddenly. The appearance of the emperor was like the last time she saw the first emperor when she was still a side concubine. A disrespectful thought came to her mind—this seemingly healthy body Under the body, I am afraid that it is already riddled with holes.

In an instant, Concubine Shu looked normal again, and only whispered to persuade the emperor to go to the secret room.

The emperor sneered a few times, and looked to the south unwillingly—that was where the gate of the imperial city was.

"Go to the secret room!" The emperor gritted his teeth for some unknown thought.

Outside the city, the King of Shu seemed to be tired of shouting at last. He waved his hands, and the flag bearer waved the big flag representing the King of Shu.

But just as they climbed the ladder, there was a dense rain of arrows falling.

A group of soldiers fell, and another group of soldiers followed. They seemed to be tireless and unafraid of death, only staring at the highest point of the city wall—climb up and open the city gate!

The quiveres of the archers defending the city were empty, and they immediately retreated, replacing them with pots of hot oil.

But the reserves in the palace are limited, whether it is people or weapons, they are almost exhausted.

A Shu soldier in armor rushed up the city wall. Behind him, the soldiers of Shu were like apes climbing up. After them, they wiped the necks of the soldiers guarding the city cleanly and opened their doors. city ​​gate.

The king of Shu watched the majestic and tall city gate slowly open facing him, and a strange emotion appeared in his eyes.

"Follow me and take the head of Chu Tianlang's traitor!" The King of Shu waved his arms, "Whoever can capture Chu Tianlang will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold! He will be promoted to a noble position!"

Tonight, the entire capital city was in a state of panic. The heavy hooves sounded like thunder, and they kept heading towards the imperial city. Everyone knew what this meant.

No matter whether it is a vassal king or an aristocratic family, he can only bring fifty guards to Beijing, just fifty guards, how could there be such a big commotion?An old man who has lived in the capital for decades, when he heard such a voice, it sounded like 23 years ago in a trance.

"Back then...it seemed like the same group of people rode horses and galloped into the imperial city, and then...the sky changed!"

"The capital city at that time was like a rain of blood, and the smell of blood was everywhere."

At the same time, inside Pei Mansion.

Gu Ning was wearing a cloak, standing under the corridor, looking out of the courtyard with heavy eyes.

Chunyu had never seen her like this before, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out. It wasn't until the cup of tea in her hand became cold that she saw Gu Ning's heavy expression change.

"What about the thank you banquet?"

Hearing this, Chunyu was startled: "Your servant didn't see the guard Xie."

Seeing that Gu Ning's face was not very good, Chunyu racked her brains to think of a sentence: "Such a big incident happened in the city tonight, the guard Xie must have gone with the general."

"Grandmother said the same thing." Gu Ning looked indifferent, hiding all emotions under the calm surface.

Chunyu just felt her heart beating extremely fast. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. Could it be that she wanted to reveal Xie Yan's identity?But the eldest princess made repeated orders, and she must not reveal Xie Yan's identity, not even the princess and the county master. In such a large Pei family, there are only four people who know Xie Yan's identity, except for the former prince's subordinates.

Thinking of this, Chunyu dared not speak again.

Suddenly, there was the sound of pattering rain, mixed with the sound of footsteps.

Gu Ning's eyes lit up, and he looked out of the courtyard with burning eyes.

The man she had been worrying about all day was standing at the door with a smile, looking at her tenderly.

Gu Ning had seen Xie Yan's gentle expression only when the two of them were rubbing each other's ears. Under the dark night, Gu Ning could not feel the slightest chill even though the cold wind was blowing.

She lifted her foot, subconsciously going to Xie Yan's side.

But suddenly, her eyes were fixed on Xie Yan.

"Are you going to the imperial city?" Gu Ning frowned, looking at Xie Yan displeased.

At this time, Xie Yan was wearing a set of clothes unique to the palace guards, and he made it clear that he was going to help the emperor.

Gu Ning pursed his lips and remained silent, but the coldness in his eyes had spread inch by inch.

Xie Yan smiled helplessly upon hearing this.

He walked towards Gu Ning with strides, the black boots on his feet splashed the rainwater in the puddle, making a crisp sound.

"Ning'er, this is the general's arrangement." Xie Yan looked deeply at Gu Ning, with a gentle light in his eyes, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Gu Ning heard the words, but faintly noticed something strange.

Xie Yan and the emperor have a deep blood feud, what is he going to do in the imperial city?Is it to help the king of Shu?

No!Gu Ning suppressed this idea in an instant. Although she didn't know the king of Shu, she knew the Pei family. The Pei family was always loyal to the emperor and would never do anything against others.

The first emperor intended to belong to the first prince, but was killed by the emperor. In order to protect the orphan of the first prince, the Pei family would help the emperor consolidate the country, but they secretly wanted to support Xie Yan to ascend to the throne.

Gu Ning only felt that her brain was in a mess, and all her thoughts were thrown out, obviously there was a key clue, but they couldn't be connected together.

Seeing that her eyes were clear, and she was the only one left in her eyes, the vacancy in Xie Yan's heart seemed to be filled.

"Ning'er, I..." Xie Yan pursed her thin lips lightly, but suppressed the thought in her heart, and said in a low voice: "I will definitely come back safely."

Before Gu Ning could speak, he said again: "I did this because I want to have an identity that matches you."

Gu Ning pinched Xie Yan's chin in displeasure. Although she was a bit shorter, her aura overwhelmed the guilty Xie Yan: "What are you going to do? What uncle wants you to do is so secret? Even I can't know?"

"It's not a secret." Seeing her angry look, Xie Yan suddenly smiled, and his stern face instantly softened, "I just went to rescue her."

Hearing his understatement, Gu Ning just breathed a sigh of relief, but opened his eyes wide the next moment: "Help me?"

Xie Yan nodded: "The emperor is trapped in a secret room, if he doesn't arrive in time, he might die."

Gu Ning wanted to continue to ask, but he heard the rough voice of General Pei from outside the door: "Okay, it's too late, wait for you to rush over, the emperor will become the soul of the King of Shu!"

Xie Yan smiled apologetically at Gu Ning, and let go of Gu Ning's hand.

His figure gradually disappeared into the night, Gu Ning's face flushed with anger, and he clenched the things in his hand.

Huh?

Gu Ning looked at the jade pendant in his hand, walked quickly into the bedroom, and took out the jade pendant hidden in the deepest part of the makeup box.

These two jade pendants are of the same quality, as if they were cut from a piece of rough stone, but the patterns on them are different, one is engraved with a phoenix, and the other is engraved with a golden dragon.

The one engraved with the phoenix was given to her by Xie Yan after she asked Xie Yan to investigate Yan Yu, saying it was the key to the private treasury.

What about this one?

Gu Ning rubbed the two jade pendants lightly, full of doubts.

Could it be the key to another buried point of the private vault?

Behind her, Chunyu who rushed over was stunned, staring blankly at the two jade pendants in Gu Ning's hand.

From Chunyu's eyes, Gu Ning read other meanings.

She put the two jade pendants in front of Chunyu's eyes and waved them: "Do you know what these are?"

Chunyu trembled all over, and quickly lowered her head: "I just saw that these two jade pendants are shiny and smooth, they are two good pieces of jade, I didn't expect Xie Weiwei to have such a good jade pendant because he is poor and poor!"

"Continue to make up." Gu Ning sneered, "If you can't make up a satisfactory answer for me, I will throw this jade pendant!"

While speaking, Gu Ning made a gesture to throw the jade pendant on the ground heavily.

"Don't!" Chunyu hastily stopped you.

Facing Gu Ning's smiling eyes, Chunyu knew that she had been fooled.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "If the county master wants to know the key points, it's best to ask the eldest princess. The slaves don't know anything and dare not say anything!"

Gu Ning snorted softly, and she knew that Chunyu knew something inside.

"Okay." Gu Ning strode out of the courtyard.
