Qing Yan

After Shen Quan left, Yu Wenrui still chatted with everyone.The difference was that there were a few more small eunuchs inside and outside the hall, and they entered the hall obediently every half an hour, whispering something in Yu Wenrui's ear.Yu Wenrui listened silently, drinking quietly.

It was almost time, Yu Wenrui raised his lips and smiled, picked up the wine cup on the case, and saluted in the direction of Prime Minister Yu Wenguang: "Uncle Xiang Wang has a heart! I respect you!"

King Xiang sat numb in his buttocks, just waiting for her words. Hearing this, he finally couldn't hide the smile that filled his heart, and it spread all over his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all, drink it up.

Yu Wenrui stared at his series of actions intently, and the doubts in his heart deepened: King Xiang is a famous big idiot, and he can't hide his emotions.Judging by his expression, it was obvious that he couldn't wait to find out.Such a person would have such audacious thoughts?Could it be that it wasn't him?

Yu Wenrui also drank a cup of wine with a smile, and said softly: "Uncle Xiang Wang, do you know why I praise you?"

How could the King of Xiang not know?He couldn't hold back his words all the time, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, is it for the lion dance tonight?"

Yu Wenrui played with the cup in his hand, and said to Xiang Wang: "The old family is mourning, and I feel uncomfortable. Uncle Xiang Wang has a heart, and made me happy by making me happy; he also suppressed his grief. It is really an act of loyalty and patriotism to accompany me to have fun here! I am quite moved!"

When King Xiang heard the words, he couldn't hold back his expression of joy, and said respectfully: "Sharing the king's worries is the duty of the courtiers. Your Majesty's absurd praise!"

Yuwen Keqin sat under the king's hand, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the words; Yuwen Kejian looked indifferent, staring at the wine maid without taking his eyes off it.

The ministers under the seat ate and drank separately, as if they didn't hear the emperor playing games.

Yu Wenrui turned back and forth on the faces of Xiang Wang, father and son, and finally landed on Jing Yan.

She got up and said respectfully: "Sister-in-law, it's almost time. Look, would you like to go to the city now?"

The two looked at each other and exchanged a few glances calmly.

Jing Yan gave her a "don't worry" look in her eyes, but there was a formulaic expression on her face, and said lightly, "that's fine."

Looking down from the tower of the Forbidden Palace, the crowds are bustling, the stalls of various colors are bustling, and the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day.

Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is customary for the emperor to ascend the tower at the third quarter of Xu time.Therefore, it was estimated that the time was almost up, and everyone raised their heads and looked up the tower curiously.

Under the yellow Luogai umbrella, Yu Wenrui was dressed in moon-white Wulong casual clothes, a jade crown on his head, and a bright red headband on his forehead. Surrounded by his ministers and clan, he stood on the tower and looked down.The number of guards on the tower has more than doubled, and the imperial guards below the tower can't help but put their hands on the sabers around their waists, lest the emperor might make a mistake.

In fact, the night was getting dark, and the lights on the imperial street below the city were dazzling, and the lights on the city tower were extremely dim. If it wasn't for someone with outstanding martial arts and excellent eyesight, it would be difficult to determine the exact location of the emperor.Jing Yan's guard of honor for the Empress Dowager was not far from Yu Wenrui's side.

Even though he was fully prepared, Yu Wenrui still couldn't help looking sideways at his sister-in-law's safety from time to time.

Jing Yan looked at her, signaling her to concentrate on what the emperor should do.

Yu Wenrui turned his head restrainedly and took a deep breath secretly.She began to look at all kinds of things downstairs——

Because when the time came, the emperor boarded the city, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the lion dance, all kinds of operas, and various juggling performances were performed step by step.

The onlookers watched lively, and Yu Wenrui also had a good look.

Will it be a lion dance?

This lion is much bigger than in previous years. Will there be a weapon hidden inside it?Or hide a few people, so that they can find the right opportunity to do it?

However, looking at Xiang Wang's expression and listening to his words, it is obviously not the case.

Except that before he ascended the throne, King Xiang deceived himself that he was young and was thinking about the dragon chair. In these years, he has not dared to do anything arrogant.

Could that face that couldn't hide his thoughts be a disguise?

Or, is it this group of jugglers and jugglers?

Could the knife that was swallowed in the mouth be real?

Could that cock that danced like a wheel be real?

Are they planning to use these things to assassinate me soon?

Yu Wenrui stared at every move downstairs, feeling both hopeful and nervous——

What I look forward to is that she hasn't fought with anyone for a long time, and her muscles and bones are almost loose. She is looking forward to such a fight and enjoys the hands-on addiction.

The nervous thing is that on this city tower, not only myself, but also my sister-in-law, and the ministers of the Zhu Kingdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Yu Wenrui's palms were filled with sweat, and she swallowed forcefully to suppress the beating heart that was beating faster and faster on her left chest.

However, none of what she expected and worried about happened.

The people below the city tower cheered and shouted, and the people above the city tower pointed and commented, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, it was Haishi.

The lion dance and juggling under the city gradually receded, only to hear the chief of ceremonies yell loudly: "The auspicious time has come! My emperor Lone, for the people!"

The people under the city tower, when they heard this sound, their spirits were lifted, and they all rushed to the foot of the city.

The Inner Court Secretary had already prepared baskets of fruits and pastries at the battlements, and with an order, they poured down like water prices.

The common people below the city tower shouted joyously and scrambled for it.

As in previous years, it is inevitable that there will be quarrels, even tearing and insulting due to physical conflicts.

Jing Yan frowned secretly when he heard it in the city, thinking that maybe the Ministry of Rites had a good point, this is really not a good ceremony.

She turned her face slightly, looked at Yu Wenrui, and found that the child was raptly staring at the dark crowd and clusters of lights under the tower.

Jing Yan was wondering why the child was watching so intently, but he saw a sly smile on the corner of Yu Wenrui's lips.Jing Yan is even more strange.

She has no martial arts, and she didn't know that Yu Wenrui has excellent eyesight and hearing. She has already seen the inner court guards disguised as ordinary people pick up a rather burly man in black from the crowd, and several guards in disguise immediately surrounded him. Go up, hold down and drag the man in black away without anyone noticing.

Immediately afterwards, two more men in black were dragged out of the crowd.Yu Wenrui was delighted, but he caught a glimpse of something strange about the two men.

She was about to shout "Shut their mouths" in her mind, but unexpectedly, the two men had already made a move, they gritted their teeth, their bodies trembled and stopped moving.

All the inner court guards were afraid of attracting attention, and dragged the two dead bodies away like a dead dog.

Yu Wenrui was secretly startled——

Take poison and commit suicide!

Dead man!

Just at this time, the celebration fireworks arranged in the four cities of the capital were ignited together, and with a "bang", they soared into the sky, illuminating the entire capital, and also illuminating the faces of everyone on the Forbidden Palace tower in front of the Imperial Street.

The common people below the city, the officials and clans on the city couldn't help but look up at the night sky, sighing with emotion at the gorgeous fireworks.

In an instant, following the fireworks, there were four black shadows.They were facing the place where Yu Wenrui was, and they jumped up for more than ten feet.At the same time as they jumped up, the four of them bent their bows and set their arrows at the same time, and the arrow points were all pointing in the same direction——

Emperor Yu Wenrui!

Yu Wenrui's cultivation base is higher than that of ordinary people, so he can see clearly than ordinary people.

At the very moment, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning——

Arrow kill!

This scene is so familiar!

Didn't the emperor's brother Yu Wenzhe be...

Could it be that today they came to kill me again!

The inner court guards below the city saw the assassin soaring into the air, they were shocked, and they all drew out their weapons and jumped to block it. The guards on the tower also saw the assassin's intentions at this time, and rushed forward.However, they were not as fast as the four assassins after all, and they watched the four arrows burst out from the four powerful bows and flew straight towards the emperor.

Seeing that the assassin was about to succeed, at a critical juncture, a white figure flew out of a slanting stab, stepped forward, stopped the four arrows at the waist, stretched his wide sleeves, and wrapped the four arrows.Immediately afterwards, as if stagnant in mid-air, the man turned around sharply, without looking carefully, he tossed it casually, and the four arrows returned the same way, flying straight towards the four assassins.

The four assassins had just shot arrows with all their strength, but they fell straight to the ground due to gravity, and their bodies had no time to react; moreover, the strength of the four arrows returning was far stronger than their previous skills, how could their flesh and blood Can it withstand the power to destroy gold and crack rocks?Only four consecutive sounds of "噗噗噗噗" could be heard, and the three words "Keep alive" that Yu Wenrui blurted out still echoed in the air. up.

The assassin fell to his death, so naturally the guards below took care of him.But the people below were scared to death. They cried for their fathers and mothers for a while, and they were in a mess. The more powerful and innocent were trampled and injured.

Yu Wenrui couldn't bear to hear it, and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt innocent people!"

All the people on the tower were dumbfounded. The generals were quite courageous, so they woke up first, and hurriedly complained to the emperor, and went down to deal with it.The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Jing Zhaoyin, and the commander of the imperial guards were all shocked: it is not bad to assassinate the emperor blatantly!

Even though Jing Yan didn't have martial arts skills, she knew what happened at this moment. With a trembling of her delicate body, she grabbed Bingbi's wrist who was standing by her side, and hurriedly moved towards Yu Wenrui.

Although Bingbi was frightened, at least she still had a little clarity in her mind, and she was an outsider, so she wouldn't be as concerned as Jing Yan and be confused.She hurriedly grabbed Jing Yan, and hurriedly said: "Master! Don't be in a hurry..."

Bingbi did not say the latter words.Why doesn't Jing Yan understand?

Right now, the place where the emperor is is the target of public criticism. Four assassins jumped out just now. Who knows if there are still people in the crowd below?The emperor knows martial arts, so he can probably handle it, right?But the empress dowager rushing over at this moment will undoubtedly only distract the emperor.

Jing Yan stopped suddenly, and she stared at Yu Wenrui for a moment, but the palm holding Bingbi was getting tighter and tighter.

At this moment, Yu Wenrui felt a little at ease, and was looking helplessly at the woman in white clothes standing on the battlements.

Although the woman's face is covered, but those unruly eyes, that proud standing figure, who is it if it's not her senior sister, Chai Qi?

At the same time that Chai Qi threw four arrows in the air, he just heard Yu Wenrui's words "keep alive", but it was too late, no matter how fast she was, she couldn't catch up with the murderous weapon she threw out.

Facing Yu Wenrui's helpless gaze, Chai Qi raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "Those guards of yours are too weak in martial arts!"

So weak that even the assassins couldn't catch them, and let them jump up and hurt people.

Yu Wenrui was choked by her Gu Youyou for a moment, and stared at her with rounded eyes.

How many people in this world do you think have your skills?

Well, Senior Sister Chai, you saved my life, so I should thank you, right?But, I didn't expect you to make a move!I originally set up the manpower, even if the guards are not up to the task, I can take care of it myself!

Well, well, after all, Senior Sister Chai saved my life... Yu Wenrui is in self-hypnosis.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, clusters of fireworks rose again in the night sky.

Facing the tower of the Forbidden Palace, on the most inconspicuous flat ground, a person jumped up silently among the crowd, and silently bent his bow and set an arrow.

Yu Wenrui seemed to have sensed something, and turned her head in panic. In the bright fireworks, she was meeting those cold eyes.

No, how could those eyes be cold?That day, when she thanked herself, there was warmth in her eyes.

She's not emotionless, she's just cold-tempered.

So Yu Wenrui saw those hands, pale and powerful, just like the four words she had written to remind herself of the approaching danger; but at this moment, they were holding the bow and string, manipulating the deadly arrow aimed at her arrow.

So Yu Wenrui understood what was contained in the package that was loved by that person like his life - a bow, a good bow, but a deadly bow!

So she frankly met the man's cold gaze, and asked her with her eyes: "Are you going to kill me?"

"..."

The man was speechless, and the only answer to her was the ferocious roar of the arrow piercing through the void.

There was also Jing Yan's stern exclamation.

"Worry-"
