As a result, Ashnak's next sentence was: "I just want to ask, Your Majesty, why is your skin as bright as moonlight?"

Xiao Jining: "..."

What the fuck are you talking about Ashinaq?

Although Xiao Jining listened, he probably heard Ashnak scolding him for being white, like a girl, and a sissy, but Ashnak's words sounded like he was molesting him?

Xiao Jining pursed his lips and did not speak, Ashnak's words really stumped him.

The rest of the courtiers of the Great Xiao also looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words. Xiao Jining's face was indeed snow-white, and he was the most mellow and least emperor-like among Emperor Yunhong's sons, but this could only be said in private with Emperor Yunhong before Xiao Jining ascended the throne. Let me tell you, now that Xiao Jining is on the throne, who would dare to tell him directly that you are too white and good-looking to be an emperor?

Xiao Jining had no choice but to ask Xiao Dan for help: "Dan'er, how do you answer?"

Xiao Dan pondered for a moment: "It's hard to answer, you can scold him."

Xiao Jining asked again: "What are you scolding?"

Xiaodan replied: "You are a lowly person!"

Xiao Jining: "..."

"I beg you." Xiao Jining lowered his head, "Boss Dan, tell me how to refute him."

Xiaodan showed mercy, and said to Xiao Jining: "You don't need to refute him, you just need to turn your head to the right."

"Huh?" Xiao Jining was puzzled when he heard Xiaodan's words, "Why do you have to turn your head?"

Xiaodan said again: "Let you sideways."

Xiao Jining could only do as he said, and moved his body to the right according to the words.

And the next moment, he felt a gust of wind rush past his ears, it was a sharp arrow that shot straight at Xiao Jining, the strength of this arrow was so deep and heavy that it even pierced Xiao Jining's cheek , made a shallow cut, and made the arrow vibrate "buzzing" when it was inserted into the back of the chair behind Xiao Jining, and kept making "clank" sounds, and it took a long time before it returned to calm.

Xiao Jining opened his eyes wide, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and looked at the arrow in disbelief.

Only then did the guards come to their senses, Mu Kui shouted "Escort—!", and many imperial guards surrounded Xiao Jining, and then many masked black clothes jumped out from the forest, all holding sharp swords towards Xiao Jining Come rushing.

Moreover, these assassins had extraordinary skills, treacherous and powerful martial arts, and the ordinary Imperial Guards were no match for them at all. Several groups of the Imperial Guards had fallen, but only a few of these assassins were slightly injured, and no one was injured or killed.

Xiao Jining suddenly turned his head to look at the Turkic royal family, because one of the people most likely to assassinate him here was Ashinamuga and Ashinaq, but he saw the expressions of their two brothers, and found that they were killed when they saw the assassin appearing. He was also stunned, then frowned, pulled out his sword by his side, and retreated behind the guards, as if he was also coveting these highly skilled assassins.

If not the Turkic royal family, who would it be?

Xiao Jining had seen the rest of the foreign missions, and found that they were also very surprised by the sudden appearance of the assassin. It didn't seem like their handwriting, so Xiao Jining could only turn sideways and look at the other people who might want him to die - the fourth prince and the fifth prince. Prince.

But the fourth and fifth princes also looked stunned, and even looked at each other, as if suspecting that the assassin was arranged by one of them, Xiao Jining understood that it wasn't the two of them who did it.

Seeing the assassins constantly approaching him, Xiao Jining gradually became a little flustered.

He might be able to know why the assassin came to assassinate him at this time - the most powerful Jing Yuan beside him is in the hunting forest at the moment, and it is difficult to rescue the fire from far away, and Da Xiao and other powerful generals from other countries are not here at the moment , he didn't have any capable guards around him, so this was the best time to assassinate him.

Xiao Jining asked Xiao Dan: "I'm your honorable player, and I'm about to be assassinated, why don't you panic at all?"

"You won't die." Xiaodan said firmly.

Xiao Jining asked suspiciously: "Why are you so sure?"

"Don't you have Xi Shu by your side?" Xiaodan asked him back, "Have you read the attributes of Xi Shu?"

Xiao Jining said truthfully: "No, let me see."

After finishing watching, Xiao Jining fell silent.

Xi Shu's martial arts value is 97, but his character is stupid.

Xiao Dan explained to him: "Xi Shu is Xiao Mo's adopted son. He was raised as the future successor of Dongchang since he was a child. It's just that although Xi Shu has high talent in martial arts, his intelligence and ambition are too low. There is no way to raise him. Xiao Mo couldn't find any other good seedlings, and he still likes this caring adopted son very much, so he can only keep raising him like this. It can be said that there are very few people in the entire Great Xiao who can beat him, and he is not like Mu Kui grew up with you, otherwise, with his status, why would Jing Yuan agree to let him stay by your side?"

"Oh, you should have said it earlier, then I'm relieved." Xiao Jining sighed and leaned back. He felt that the arrow was stuck in his side, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it out, casually throwing it on the ground. .

Seeing this, Ashina Muka looked at the arrow on the ground and then at Xiao Jining, as if shocked that such a dangerous assassin in front of Xiao Jining could still keep his expression on, but Ashina Ke looked at Xiao Jining with more interest in his eyes.

"Xiao Jiu! Xiao Jiu!" On the other side, the Seventh and Eighth Princes held their swords and walked in front of the Imperial Army, as if they wanted to go to Xiao Jining's side, but they were stopped by the Imperial Army and Xi Shu, and they could only worry about it from a distance away. shouted, "Don't be afraid!"

The assassination happened at the birthday banquet, anyone could be the mastermind of this assassination, except for the forbidden army, no one can get close to Xiao Jining, it is understandable that the forbidden army wouldn't let the Seventh and Eighth Princes get close.

"It's okay." Xiao Jining raised his hand and asked Xi Shu to let the two of them come over.

The Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince were quite anxious at first, but when they saw Xiao Jining's calm and composed appearance, they couldn't be anxious anymore, and asked him with a slight frown: "Ninth Brother, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm a little scared." Xiao Jining said, "But I don't think they can kill me."

The Seventh Prince looked at another wave of fallen imperial troops, and said solemnly: "These assassins are cunning and cunning. I'm afraid the imperial army won't be able to stop them for long. Let's evacuate first."

Xiao Jining said: "But Jing Yuan and the others haven't come back yet."

"At this time, why do we care what they do?" The eighth prince said anxiously, "If you don't run away, when they come back, they will have to collect the corpse for us."

"Look again." Xiao Jining shook his head, and began to focus on the assassin with the highest martial arts in the arena.

He was wondering who would have arranged the assassination.

If everyone present is not the mastermind, then perhaps the mastermind is not here, but one of the people who entered the hunting forest.

In this way, the answer will be ready to come out.Who else is interested in the throne?

Only Jingyuan.

But Xiao Jining felt that it wasn't Jing Yuan, so who could it be?

Xiao Jining stared closely at the leading assassin, trying to get some clues from him.

At this moment, Xiao Jining suddenly felt the ground shaking, as if there were thousands of iron hooves running towards this side.

Xi Shu also turned his head to Xiao Jining in surprise and said: "Your Majesty, General Jing and the others should be back!"

"The assassins are going to escape." Mu Kui raised his voice, "stop them quickly, don't let them escape—"

But these words were of no use, the assassins also felt the abnormality on the ground, and saw the leader assassin let out a piercing whistle, the next moment the assassins who were still attacking the imperial army suddenly changed their offensive, turned around to protect the leader Assassin, almost suicidally covering him to leave.The assassin who was forcibly left behind by the imperial army fought, and after realizing that the leader assassin had retreated safely, he bit the poison between his teeth and committed suicide.

Jing Yuan came back here with a cold face, and the Imperial Army who had blocked the Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince from getting close to Xiao Jining just now all gave way one after another, so that Jing Yuan could go straight to Xiao Jining's side.

He asked Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Jing Yuan's hands were clenched tightly by his side, and Xiao Jining could see that Jing Yuan actually wanted to raise his arms to hug him tightly, but he couldn't do that under the eyes of everyone, so he could only retract his raised hands.

So Xiao Jining shook his head and comforted him softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Xiao Jining was also concerned about people watching around, so he didn't raise his hand to hold Jing Yuan, but he was eager to reassure Jing Yuan, and forgot to call himself "Zhen".Although it shouldn't be surprising that Xiao Jining sometimes forgets because of nervousness, his tone of voice shows that he is not nervous, but full of tenderness and comfort.

So Mu Kui was startled when he heard Xiao Jining's words, then he raised his head to look at the two of them, then quickly lowered his head.

Although Jing Yuan was comforted by Xiao Jining, he was not at ease, his Adam's apple was rolling up and down, his face was tense, his expression was solemn, he gritted his teeth and said: "You are injured."

Xiao Jining was taken aback, raised his hand to touch his face, only then remembered that the arrow scratched his face just now.

The wound was extremely shallow, only a little blood smeared into beads, but it did not fall, hanging half solidified next to the faint blood line, it did not feel pain to the touch, at most it was because Xiao Jining's complexion was snow-white, and at first glance It's just a little obvious.

And the blood bead was blurred when Xiao Jining reached out and touched it, forming a bloodstain on his face.

"It's just such a seam." Xiao Jining smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt."

Jing Yuan looked deeply at Xiao Jining, and didn't speak any more. He took a breath and closed his eyes for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, his expression calmed down a little, and he said in a low voice: "But I think you are in pain."

Hearing this, Xiao Jining was even more stunned.

At this time, a forbidden soldier came, and Jing Yuan turned slightly to look at him.

The forbidden army told Jing Yuan, "General, there is no one alive."

Jing Yuan said coldly: "Take it away and feed it to the dog."

The forbidden army replied: "Yes!"

After the assassins left, the place was already covered in blood. Although the palace servants and guards came to clean it up soon, the bloody smell still lingered for a long time. The fourth and fifth princesses who were as helpless as Xiao Jining Huarong's face was already pale with fright, and the empress Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan were still in shock.

Seeing this, Mu Kui asked Xiao Jining for instructions: "Your Majesty, this place is filthy and smells like blood. Why don't you let the servants change to another place to continue holding the birthday banquet and deal with the prey that everyone hunted? Or let's end it like this today and look at the prey tomorrow." ?”

Xiao Jining looked around at the crowd below.

The expressions of the people below were different, some were still panicked, some quickly came back to their senses and calmed down, and some quietly raised their eyes to look at him, looking at him who was just said by the Turkic second prince as "white and bright like moonlight" Emperor Yun Chu.

At this moment, Xiao Jining's face was covered with bloodstains, but his snow-white hunting clothes were not stained with blood at all, not even stained with dust, it really looked like the moonlight was bright and clear - high above, untouchable.

Xiao Jining bent his lips and said with a smile: "Just watch it here."
