Chapter 1091: Assassination Again
"We just have something urgent to pass by here, if Your Majesty has to repay us, it is better to give us a good horse." I didn't forget what Luo Qingluan told him before he came in, and Leng Li immediately said.
"Are you leaving soon?" The empress asked without changing her face, in fact, she was already a little reluctant in her heart. A person as heroic as Leng Li is rare, even in the entire Tianxia Kingdom.
"Yes, we've been here for too long, and we still have important things to do that need to be dealt with immediately."
"That'...... After three days, shall I practice for you? The queen no longer held on, and looked sincere.
"Yes, I see, thank you, Your Majesty." Leng Li no longer refused, and then left the main hall.
As soon as he left the main hall, Leng Li saw Luo Qingluan's white figure, obviously waiting here for a long time.
"How?" Luo Qingluan asked, "Is there a result, what does the empress say?" ”
Although Luo Qingluan in front of her was very calm, Leng Li could understand her anxiety, nodded and said, Repeat what happened just now.
"The queen said to give him three more days, so that she could choose the best horses for us to give, and she would give us a practice." After Leng Li finished speaking, Zhengse said: "It's already said that this is the case, and I can't refuse anymore, so I agreed." ”
"That's right, it looks like we'll have to wait another three days." Luo Qingluan's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, he thought that he could set off today, but he didn't expect to wait a few more days.
"It's okay, you're doing well, at least the Empress is willing to pick horses for us."
Three days is three days, Luo Qingluan doesn't even have this bit of patience, as long as they can leave smoothly, they will be satisfied.
……
Three days later.
Luo Qingluan and the others had been waiting for the empress's practice, but a group of Praetorian Guards suddenly rushed in the pavilion and surrounded them. One by one, they were a little stunned.
"Come on, search for me, and don't let anyone go." The Praetorian Guard commander roared, murderous.
The crowd had no idea what was happening.
"What does the Empress mean by this, does she want revenge and refuse to let us go?" Liang Yuyan frowned, looking at the heavily armed Praetorian Guards outside, obviously very unhappy about this.
Everyone else was silent, but the Empress's actions were no different from the revenge of the generals. Luo Qingluan raised her eyebrows, she was anxious to leave Tianxia Kingdom, but she didn't expect that there was an accident when she left.
Although the Praetorian Guards did not come in at the door, they were not allowed to go out, and they could not force their way in.
In a short time, the female officer who had been ordered to come came and explained the situation to everyone.
"I'm really sorry, because Her Majesty the Empress was plotted again today, and Her Majesty ordered the assassin to be arrested, but the assassin was really cunning and actually infiltrated the pavilion, and we had no choice but to let the Praetorian Guards surround the pavilion." The female officer looked apologetic.
Only then did everyone realize that it was the empress who had been plotted by the assassins again, so it was no wonder that they wanted to besiege the hotel. Thinking of this, the crowd was no longer angry, and waited patiently for the Praetorian Guard to capture the Assassin so that they could leave.
Stomp, stomp!
Footsteps suddenly sounded in the hotel, and a large number of Praetorian Guards poured into the hotel, and Liang Yuyan wanted to open the door to take a look.
The female officer grabbed it and reminded: "Don't open it, that assassin is cunning by nature, and it won't be good if he breaks in and injures a few people." ”
Liang Yuyan also made some sense when she heard it, more things are better than less things, so she withdrew her hand and waited quietly. Anyway, with so many Praetorian Guards dispatched, the assassin couldn't escape, so she didn't have to interfere.
The sound of soldiers intersecting sounded outside, but the room was quiet and frightening, no one spoke, everyone waited for the end of the matter outside.
"Bold assassin, don't hurry up and catch him!" The Praetorian Guards outside the door shouted angrily.
In the next second, the assassin broke through the door, and he waved the weapon in his hand and wanted to rush over, but Liang Yuyan was quick and pulled out the sword on his waist and stabbed it.
The assassin could only turn around to resist Liang Yuyan's sword, and Leng Li's sword also stabbed at him with lightning speed, and the assassin had no time to resist Leng Li's sword, and he was stabbed.
His bare eyes stared gloomily at Liang Yuyan and Leng Li, and the Praetorian Guards outside the door swarmed in, with Liang Yuyan and Leng Li blocking the road in front of him, and the Praetorian Guards chasing and intercepting him behind, his situation could be described as extremely bad.
And Luo Qingluan hugged his son, and the female officials had already retreated behind the Praetorian Guard, they couldn't deal with such an assassin, so it was better to hand it over to the Praetorian Guard.
"You have no way back, just tie your hands." Liang Yuyan's sword pointed straight at the Assassin's face, and if the Assassin refused to surrender, her next sword would split the Assassin's head and body.
Seeing this, the Assassin slowly bent down, and the sword in his hand gradually loosened, and the Praetorian Guards surrounded him and tried to catch him, but then the Assassin suddenly moved, and he got up and suddenly stabbed several Janissaries in front of him.
The Praetorian Guards obviously didn't expect him to make a sudden move, and in a panic, they actually let the assassin kill him alive.
Luo Qingluan led the female officers and retreated to a place far away from the assassin, and the assassin saw that they did not make a move, nor did he attack them.
Seeing this, Liang Yuyan and Leng Li were about to chase after them with their swords, but the assassin turned around and threw something over, and the two thought it was a hidden weapon and dodged away, but when they raised their eyes again, there was still the figure of the assassin.
Luo Qingluan walked in at this time, she picked up the "hidden weapon" on the ground, Liang Yuyan and Leng Li's faces instantly turned blue after seeing the "hidden weapon", and the assassin actually took a stone to bluff them.
"It seems that the assassin is really cunning." Luo Qingluan said calmly.
Liang Yuyan took the sword back in her hand, she held the stone tightly in her hand, she was very depressed, that assassin dared to use such a means to deceive her, if it wasn't for worrying about Luo Qingluan and Xiao Shizi, she wouldn't let go of this assassin.
The assassins fled, the female officers left, and the Praetorian Guards blocked the city gates, and several people wanted to leave, but they had to go and talk to the empress herself.
Everyone was led by the palace people to the queen's bedchamber, and after the report, they stepped in, only to find that there was a imperial doctor standing inside.
The Empress lay limply on the luxurious bed, the curtains scattered and randomly opened, one of the Empress's jade arms was exposed, and the Imperial Physician was taking her pulse.
Luo Qingluan looked at it and stepped forward with concern: "How is the situation of Her Majesty the Empress?" ”
After finishing the pulse and lowering the curtain, the imperial physician got up and bowed to Luo Qingluan and the others, and said, "Her Majesty the Empress has eaten something unclean. ”
After he finished speaking, he went down to write the prescription, Luo Qingluan stepped forward to look at the empress, but the bed curtain directly blocked her vision, and she could only vaguely see the empress's graceful body and the eyes that seemed to be open.
When the empress saw Leng Li coming, she ordered someone to lift the curtain of the bed and stare at him with burning eyes.
"Why don't you let me see it for Her Majesty." Luo Qingluan stepped forward and wanted to take his pulse.
But the empress didn't appreciate it, she casually waved away Luo Qingluan's outstretched hand, and said with a cold face: "No need, the imperial doctor said that he had a bad stomach, so there is no need to look at it anymore." ”
Her refusal couldn't be more obvious, and Luo Qingluan was not reluctant, she withdrew her hand and retreated.
The empress rejected Luo Qingluan, but her eyes kept staring at Leng Li, her eyes were very ambiguous, and there was an indescribable emotion.
Liang Yuyan's eyes widened and she could see clearly from the side. At the beginning, she thought that the empress was in love with Leng Li, but they still didn't believe it, but now they always believe it.
But Leng Li's face was still cold, he had already clearly rejected the empress, but this woman still didn't give up.
"These days, I have been plotted by the assassin, my injuries have not healed, I don't want to eat, I have something to ask Leng Gongzi to help me find that assassin, and I will be grateful afterwards." The Empress raised her eyes lightly, and she looked at Leng Li with silky eyes.
Her eyes were full of coldness, but she didn't know how surprised Luo Qingluan and the others were when she said this.
Could it be that this empress really takes a fancy to Leng Li?
The matter is not small, Liang Yuyan was a little reluctant, she spoke: "Your Majesty, we are not from Tianxia Country, we outsiders are not suitable to interfere in the internal affairs of Tianxia Kingdom, Your Majesty might as well let us leave earlier." ”
Luo Qingluan quietly dragged Liang Yuyan at this time, this empress is afraid that the drunkard is not interested in drinking today, she should see what the empress says.
When the empress heard this, she turned her head to Liang Yuyan and looked at Liang Yuyan with some displeasure.
In the end, the majesty of the empress is not easily revealed, but Liang Yuyan is not afraid, she just said what she should say. As Western Chu people, they had already rescued the empress well, and now they let them help catch the assassins, which is inevitably a bit overstepping.
As soon as she looked at the expressions of several people, the empress understood, and she smiled faintly, looking weak: "It seems that I am a little presumptuous, but now that I am injured, in case the assassin comes again, I really can't bear it." Can Miss Luo let Leng Gongzi stay and let him keep me safe? As she spoke, she turned her eyes back to Leng Li.
Luo Qingluan was embarrassed and glanced at Leng Li.
Leng Li's face was expressionless, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? ”
"What's wrong? I've opened my mouth, don't Leng Gongzi give me this face? The empress was lying on the bed, looking weak, "I know you want to leave the Tianxia Kingdom, but now that the matter of the assassins has not been resolved, the city gate is blocked, you can't leave, and you have to bother to stay for a few more days." ”
Up to now, Luo Qingluan still doesn't understand that the empress is taking the opportunity to blackmail, if they don't agree, the empress may suspect that they did it, after all, the assassin happened after they came.
When the time comes, let alone leave, they may have to be arrested.
The faces of several people were not very good-looking, although the empress said that she was letting them rest in the hotel, but there were so many guards outside, no matter how they looked at them, they looked like prisoners under house arrest.
After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan said calmly: "Empress, then I'll go and discuss with Leng Li, and then I'll reply to you." ”
She winced, and retreated to the side hall with Leng Li and the others.
"That empress is really hateful, we obviously saved her, but she took the opportunity to threaten like this, she is clearly taking revenge!" Liang Yuyan clenched her fists, she had never met such shameless people, and when she heard that they were leaving, she began to play tricks.
Luo Qingluan shook his head: "Don't say it, be careful that the wall has ears, if it reaches the ears of the empress, it will be bad." ”
Liang Yuyan stopped talking, still indignant.
On this day, the empress of the Xia Kingdom was really a person who would take revenge, and she knew that she shouldn't have been saved that day, just let her be killed by those assassins, and it didn't matter if she was dead or alive.
Even if he regretted it, everyone had no choice, Leng Li was also kind enough to save the empress of Tianxia Kingdom, who would have thought that the other party would hit him with the idea, and used so many means just to be able to stay for Leng Li.
Luo Qingluan's brows tightened, she sighed and said, "Leng Li, what do you think now?" ”
