To catch a thief, to catch a phoenix first

Things are not as smooth as she imagined.

Because when she approached the south gate, she found a wave of troops approaching.The sky was dark, and a mass of black heads gradually approached her, surrounding her.

After some consideration, Shi Xianyu felt that it was impossible for her to rush into the south gate with her thin body.Therefore, with a flick of his sleeve, he tore off the gun, and said in a deep voice, "Who dares to stop Gu?"

The sound of swords being unsheathed rang out in unison, and a man walked out from the crowd, raising his hand to stop the movement of the army, the burly figure was quite depressing.

Among the royal family, not everyone was born with red lips and white teeth. For example, Shi Aoyun, the fifth son of the first emperor, and the current Prince Han are a good example.

But I saw a strong man wearing a dragon-pattern black robe, with a tiger's head and a swallow's forehead, a rough face, and a weak crown at a young age, but he was born like a ferocious thief, without any youthful spirit.

He was born to be scary, but now he grinned and showed his big white teeth: "Sister Seven is the current emperor, so naturally no one dares to stop you."

Halfway through speaking, he touched his chin again, and the smile on his face almost scared the child to tears: "It's just my brother's ignorance, I don't know why the Seventh Emperor's sister is so beautiful at night. The Seventh Emperor's sister is as beautiful as a fairy, and it is a pity that no one appreciates it."

"It's late at night. The Seventh Emperor Sister was supposed to rest in the Zichen Palace. Why are you wandering outside and only now come back to the palace? Then... who is that person in the Zichen Palace? How dare you pretend to be the Seventh Emperor Sister, It really deserves death."

There were thousands of rebels. King Han wore a bronze tiger amulet around his waist, with the word "Lin" engraved on it. It was the Lin family army.After making such a commotion, the imperial guards must be coming.

General Lin Cheng of Tiance will not be confused next year, after two dynasties, he only sent his daughter into the palace a few months ago.It seems to be called Lin Ningning, tsk, you changed your mind so quickly?

Really unpredictable.

"King Han was joking. You are the king alone, and you are the ministers. There is a difference between the monarch and the ministers. It is not appropriate to call the Seventh Emperor Sister. It is very harsh to listen to Gu. You should call Gu Your Majesty according to the etiquette."

Shi Xianyu paused, pretending to be surprised, and said again: "The person who dared to pretend to be lonely, I'm afraid it is King Han, right? Dressed in a dragon robe, leading the army to force the palace, such treason and disregard for rituals and music, it is another What's the meaning?"

King Han had inquired about the wind earlier, saying that the person who was recuperating in the Zichen Palace was not the real empress, but someone else pretending to be.In addition, someone fanned the flames and lured the snake out of the hole, which forced the palace ahead of time.

This treacherous trip killed Mulan and the others by surprise, but fortunately they were not unprepared.

Hearing this, the soldiers burst out laughing as if they had heard a big joke, their faces were full of unbridled smiles.His cold gaze swept across the crowd inch by inch, but he couldn't stop their laughter.

What's ridiculous is that King Han silenced everyone by raising his hand, but he withdrew his smile, coupled with his innate mighty face, he was full of ruthlessness.

"Hmph, what a pity, I'm afraid your throne will be lost. For the sake of your beauty, you can still save a dog's life and send it to Annan for marriage! Brothers, don't you think so?"

"Hahaha, the prince is right, right!"

"Little girl, what are you pretending to do? If you don't want to obediently catch her, lest the sword be blind and hurt your life, that would be bad!"

The crowd laughed again.

The fist was clenched tightly, and then loosened again.She heard the heavy sound of the south gate being pulled open, a creaking sound pierced the sky.The heavy and long night is passing quietly.

Shi Xianyu was betting that after Mulan received the letter, she would have been prepared and guessed that King Han would raise troops temporarily today.Otherwise, her little life might have to be explained here.

Never die unjustly!

"Back away quickly, otherwise don't blame the lonely and ruthless people who will not leave anyone behind!"

She grabbed the long sword horizontally, the moonlight was deserted, and the sky and the earth were stunning. With the sword in her hand, she let out a loud shout that made everyone take a step back unconsciously, but the people behind did not move, causing them to fall down a lot.

In an instant, the originally neat and orderly army became disorganized and chaotic.Taking advantage of such a rare time, she stepped back hurriedly, just in time to meet the imperial guards coming from the south gate.

It's a joke, no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. If she rushed up to fight them desperately, wouldn't she be chopped into flesh?What's the point of coming to kill the fish and break the net, living is much more important than this.

"Protect Your Majesty! Kill!"

The Praetorians surrounded her and fought fiercely.Layers of crowds pushed her back further and further, Shi Xian's fish clothes were stained with blood, and her hair was a bit messy. There was only a sound of fighting, and the surroundings were in chaos.

At this moment, a hand suddenly pulled her back and pulled her out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate is rude. The situation is urgent. Please move to the Zichen Hall with your subordinate first, and avoid it for a while before making any plans."

It was Mulan's voice.

Turning her head to look, she saw that the woman was wearing tight-fitting clothes, kneeling on the ground with one knee, she couldn't see her face clearly, and her vision was blurred in the night, but she still noticed that Mulan was injured.

Through a thin layer of clothing, blood continued to ooze from the wound, it was indeed inappropriate to say any more at this time, it was better to go first.

Mulan's martial arts are not as good as hers, if she doesn't make a move, with Mulan's strength alone, it may be difficult for both of them to retreat completely.

The rebels will not be unprepared, they must have arranged many assassins to lurk in the palace.No matter how unsafe Zichen Palace is, it is much safer than outside the palace.

So Shi Xianyu supported Mulan with one hand, and backed away from her back to back.At the same time, they looked around on the road. The imperial guards in the palace were all transferred to the south gate to stop the rebels. The concubines had no power to restrain the chickens, so they could only hide in the bedroom and pray for blessings.

This also created a lot of convenience for the two of them. There were very few people on the road, and everyone was in a panic, so they dared not run around.

From the day the empress ascended the throne, everyone had already prepared in their hearts that someone would force the palace in the future, but they never expected that this day would come so soon.

Several assassins jumped over the wall, without saying a word, the cold blades in their hands stabbed Mulan and Shi Xianyu, who were still wearing the bra, respectively. They received the order to capture the empress alive.

The two girls looked exactly alike, and for a moment it was hard to tell which was the real empress, which made people confused, so they had to attack the two separately, trying to capture them with extreme speed.

On the road to Yingdi, Mulan had already been ambushed by many assassins, and now she was gradually exhausted, and the corners of her lips were bloodshot.She thought, if this battle is unfortunately defeated, she must do everything in her power to protect His Majesty.

Sensing that the opponent's attack was slowing down, Shi Xianyu's face turned cold, and he quickly swung the long sword in his hand faster, targeting the vital points of six people one after another, and killed them with one blow.

The hot blood splashed between the eyebrows is more gorgeous than lip balm.

She walked the road in the palace thousands of times since she was a child, but never once was it as hard as it is now.She raised Mulan's right arm, put it on her shoulder, and supported the shadow guard who had been with her for many years with her thin body.

Mulan coughed a few times, and the warm blood from her throat spurted onto her shoulders, and her weak voice rang in her ears intermittently.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... let go of your subordinates, they can't tell the difference between your subordinates and you, as long as they take your subordinates away, you will be safe."

"Shut up, you don't need to replace your lonely life with someone else's."

In the end, the words stuck in her throat, and she still shut up.

The steps were unbelievably heavy, Shi Xianyu's face was cold and grim, and he still walked towards the Zichen Palace firmly, keeping an eye on the surroundings. Fortunately, there were not many assassins, and within half an hour, they had arrived at the Zichen Palace.

The people from Zichen Palace greeted him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is back!"

"Quickly prepare hot water for His Majesty!"

Everyone was mixed with grief and joy, but Shi Xianyu raised his hand to stop them from moving, looking at Mulan who was dying in his arms, his tone was so cold that it was almost freezing: "Didn't you see that there is another person in the lonely arms?"

Oh, they are good, one is more loyal than the other, very good!Everyone is blind, can't see that Mulan is covered in blood?

Qingbai, one of the shadow guards, came out of the side hall, seeing the two supporting each other, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty sees you..."

"Don't be too polite, quickly heal Mulan!"
