My emperor, long live!

More and more people gathered at Yuexi Lake, and the crowd even squeezed to the edge of the lake. Except for the sound of fireworks, there was noisy shouting and talking.Under the cover of the night and the noise, a group of men in black suddenly jumped out of the crowd, covered their faces, and stabbed the boat in the lake with a sword in one hand.

It was the one that Pei Mo and Qin Ran were on!

The sound of the sword cutting through the air rang in Pei Mo's ears. Fortunately, Pei Mo was agile and turned around while holding Qin Ran to avoid the sharp swords that were stabbing him.The men in black did not succeed in this sneak attack, and immediately exchanged glances with each other. Some of them changed their daggers to fight with Pei Mo in close quarters. Pei Mo pushed Qin Ran into the elegant room of the painting boat, barely avoiding those people who stabbed him in the heart. dagger.

Those few people entangled Pei Mo and deliberately distracted Pei Mo. The other men in black stepped onto the boat, slaughtered the boatman and the helpless maid without batting an eye, and went straight to the boat. time away.

In the private room, Linglong, who stayed behind to serve, mingled with the man in black, and the swords and swords were reflected in Qin Ran's eyes. Qin Ran's heart immediately trembled. Who sent so many well-trained assassins?Her mind was wandering, wondering who would know about her and Pei Mo's departure from the palace today.

Seeing that his companions surrounded Qin Ran, the killer who was entangled with Pei Mo in the distance didn't want to fight. He shot more than a dozen darts at Pei Mo, and left Pei Mo to kill Qin Ran!

Pei Mo knocked down the dart with his sleeves, and realized that the man in black was heading towards Qin Ran. He frowned dangerously, his eyes dimmed, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes: "Linglong!"

Hearing this, Linglong turned around and kicked up the long sword hanging on the wall of the painting boat, and Pei Mo raised her hand to catch it.

The long sword was unsheathed, and Pei Mo's figure was like a ghost. The assassins hadn't seen how she made the move, but they felt a chill in front of her body, and the gleaming sword blade pierced through several people, blood spattered everywhere, and fell down in a pool of blood among.

Pei Mo moved very quickly, and Linglong, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was on the side to help out. The assassins were at a disadvantage for a while. While resisting the long swords of Pei Mo's master and servant, they used their old tricks and took out darts to attack Qin Ran in the corner.

A white light flashed in front of Qin Ran's eyes, and then she became dizzy for a while, and someone rolled her on the ground while holding her.When he opened his eyes, he saw Pei Mo holding her in his arms, his sleeve was cut open and stained red with blood.

The slender wound seemed to be engraved on Qin Ran's heart, his heart was tightened suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in a trembling voice: "Pei Mo, you, you are injured..."

Noticing that the body of the person tightly guarded in her arms was trembling slightly, as if frightened by the danger of the sword, Pei Mo gently covered her tear-filled eyes with his generous palm, and comforted her softly: "A little injury That's all, don't worry." After saying that, he raised his long sword and stabbed the man in black who was attacking from behind.

The shoulder of the man in black was pierced by the long sword, and the right hand holding the sword suddenly loosened and dropped the weapon. Seeing this, Linglong raised her leg and kicked the man in black from behind. The man in black couldn't bear such a powerful blow and plopped Kneeling down in front of Pei Mo, with a long sword on the side of his neck, he dared not move.

The rest of the accomplices saw that Pei Mo's master and servant were really difficult to deal with, and the failure of the assassination plan was a foregone conclusion, so they threw a gun, disturbed Pei Mo and Linglong's sight and jumped into the water to escape.

When the smoke dissipated, the man in black had long since disappeared. Linglong wanted to chase after her, but she saw her master's left sleeve was soaked in blood, and the blood dripped down the sleeve. : "Linglong's escort is ineffective, please punish me, master!"

Pei Mo glanced at his injury lightly, and saw Qin Ran staring at the wound worriedly without blinking, his eyes darkened, and his tone calmly said: "This assassination is obviously prepared, the most urgent thing is not to ask guilt and guilt, It’s about finding out who’s behind the scenes.”

As he said that, he lowered his eyes to look at the man in black who was captured alive under the sword, the sharp blade touched the man in black's neck with a slight force, and the small opening was cut open, blood slowly spilled out, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" sent you here?"

The assassin was not afraid of the sharp and cold blade, so he raised his head to look directly at Pei Mo's dim eyes, and curled his mouth contemptuously.

"Not good! He's going to take poison and kill himself!" Seeing the assassin's teeth clenched, Linglong guessed that the assassin must have bitten his mouth open in advance and wanted to kill himself, so she stepped forward to stop it.

Unfortunately, it was too late, the assassin let out a low choking sound, and then purple-black blood flowed out from the seven orifices, and his body collapsed on the board of the ship. Linglong had no chance of stopping her at all.

The plan was meticulous, and after the incident was revealed, he resolutely took poison and committed suicide. He didn't look like a soft bone struggling to survive. It seemed that these assassins were not ordinary people of various religions, but must be dead soldiers carefully cultivated by some kind of force secretly.

Thinking of this, Pei Mo looked at the assassin with a cold gaze, and said solemnly: "Linglong, clean up the painting."

After dispatching Linglong away, Pei Mo withdrew his chaotic thoughts, looked down at Qin Ran who was still pale and dull-eyed in his arms, gently brushed away the loose strands of hair on her forehead, and said softly, "Let's get out of here first."

Pei Mo held Qin Ran's waist with one hand, and went ashore with lightness kung fu. Qin Ran found that the direction Pei Mo took her was not the way back to the palace, so he couldn't help but tightened his sleeves tightly, and asked in a panic, "Go back to the palace?" The road is on the other side, Pei Mo, where are you going?"

Cold fingers touched Qin Ran's soft and pale lips, Pei Mo's face sank like water, and he said in a low voice: "Going back to the palace with my current injury will definitely cause commotion among the people in the palace. If the eyeliner finds out about it and plans to do something wrong, I'm afraid you and I will be in danger. You accompany me back to the prime minister's mansion, there are no outsiders there."

Hearing the words, Qin Ran secretly sorted out all the forces in the palace and the twists and turns in it, and realized that if Ruo Mao returned to the palace rashly, the situation after the two of them would be in crisis, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but think it was dangerous .

Pei Mo took the pale-faced Qin Ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly. Pei Mo usually lives in Yusheng Pavilion and rarely goes back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Therefore, the people who clean and serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion can be regarded as Pei Mo's confidantes. , loyal to Pei Mo, not afraid of someone leaking the news.

Qin Ran took off Pei Mo's coat patiently and carefully. The blood from the wound had solidified, and the flesh was slightly turned outwards, mixed with some scraps of sleeves, which looked shocking.

Qin Ran's distressed tears swirled in his eyes. He picked up the scissors and carefully cut off the sleeve fabric that was sticking to the flesh. Seeing all the wounds showing up, the tears still couldn't help falling down like beads with a broken thread.
