It happened too suddenly, almost instantaneously, and the four powerless palace maids next to him turned pale and trembled with fright.But today, the target of the black-clothed man was obviously the queen, so he ignored the palace maids next to him, even though they fled in panic outside the garden, and let out a sharp cry for help, "Someone!
There were Assassins—" They acted as if they hadn't heard.Gong Lan's body was hit by a palm and flew backwards, and at the last moment, Lin Yue's body flashed, and she caught her body with one hand, ignoring the black-clothed people who surrounded them, and said lightly: "How is it?"
”There was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he felt that his bones seemed to be shattering, but Gong Lan gritted his teeth and held back, slowly shaking his head, "The slave is fine." ”Lin Yue raised her head, looked at the black-clothed people in front of her casually, and said lightly, "Who sent you?"
”No one spoke."
Such a strict Ouchi Imperial Palace, it seems that you can let so many of you sneak in quietly."
Lin Yue said, but she couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, her brows furrowed slightly, and her scrutinizing eyes looked at the man in black for a moment, and the weirdness in her heart became more and more intense.However, before she could think about it, a sonorous and powerful footsteps rushed outside, and the black-clothed people around her obviously heard it, and their eyes instantly became fierce and abnormal, and Qi Qi rushed towards her with a thunderous murderous aura.The momentum is clear, the moves are fierce and ruthless, they have no weapons in their hands, and the hands that condense the internal force are their most powerful weapons.Lin Yue's eyes were suddenly cold, and she had no time to care about anything else at this time, she let go of Gong Lan's hand, her body jumped up, she spun in mid-air, her clothes fluttered, and an unbearable true qi shot out in all directions like a storm-the black-clothed man who was close to her side seemed to be cut off by an invisible mountain, and she couldn't enter a single inch anymore, and in the next moment, Lin Yue's splitter snatched the whip from Gong Lan's hand, and with a wave of his right hand, with a slight turn of his body, the thick true qi condensed at the end of the whip, and swept out mercilessly with the momentum of thunder- A series of screams rang out, and countless black shadows fell backwards like kites with broken strings!
Bang, bang, bang, bang......
Click, a figure slammed into the weeping willow tree, breaking the branches, and breaking a tree's waist!
Bang, two figures were mounted on the wall, and the sound of bones breaking was clear in my ears!
Plop, plop......
Several figures fell into the Lotus Lake, splashing countless waters!
And these black-clothed men who were knocked out, with neat blood marks on their necks, had successfully killed them long before they hit the wall and fell into the water.When Lin Yue's figure landed suddenly, the neat Praetorian Guards outside had already rushed in, their swords unsheathed, and they quickly exchanged hands with the rest of the men in black."
Queen Mother!"
Ling Xiao's face changed slightly, looking at the messy battle situation in the garden, his frightened eyes swept over Lin Yue's body quickly, and he didn't find any scars, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.Leaning down and kneeling, he pleaded guilty: "The minister is one step late, please ask the queen to punish the crime." ”"Mother."
Gong Lan hurriedly walked over, her tone worried, "Is there anything uncomfortable with Niangniang?"
”She didn't forget that the queen is now pregnant, although she is not injured, but this fierce fight, in case of fetal gas......
Lin Yue shook her head, "I'm fine." ”With his eyes moving slightly, Lin Yue glanced down at Ling Xiao and said lightly: "It's not too late for Commander Ling to come, but this palace doesn't understand, why are there so many assassins hiding in the lake waiting to assassinate this palace, this inner palace is not a public place, right?"
”Ling Xiao's heart sank, and he said respectfully: "The minister will quickly find out and give the queen an explanation." ”Lin Yue raised his head, looked around at the scattered corpses, and said lightly: "Although these people are assassins, their martial arts are just like that, they are not the top level, so under normal circumstances, it is impossible for them to avoid the heavy defense of the Praetorian Guards and sneak into the palace quietly without being detected." ”When Ling Xiao heard this, his heart shook violently.After Lin Yue said this, she didn't want to stay longer, turned around and left the lotus garden.With Ling Xiao here, the assassin can't escape."
How's the injury on your shoulder?"
Lin Yue turned her head, looked at Gong Lan's slightly pale face, and frowned, "Seriously injured?"
”Gong Lan shook his head, "The slave is fine, it makes Niangniang worried." ”Those people's skills are indeed not very good, if she hadn't been distracted by the moment she turned around to remind Lin Yue, she wouldn't have been slapped with a palm, but although the palm was not small, it didn't cause any substantial damage, just a sharp pain in her shoulder.But for Gong Lan, this pain is completely bearable.Lin Yue smiled, "This time has been too calm, and after this incident today, this palace feels a little more normal." ”Yes?
Gong Lan was stunned and looked at Lin Yue in surprise, "Niang Niang knows that she will be attacked today?"
”"Nope."
Lin Yue shook her head slowly, her eyes slightly condensed, "I don't know about this palace, but I feel something, I was not afraid of any danger, but I also knew that my body was not strong, so if you asked this palace not to go to the pavilion in the lake, I won't go."
But at the moment when the palace turned around, the breath of those people hidden in the lake was inadvertently leaked, and the palace became a little vigilant. ”When Gong Lan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "No matter what the identity of these people is, it shouldn't be possible for them to know in advance that Niangniang is going to the Lotus Garden."
So today's attack is very strange. ”"Not strange."
Lin Yue smiled faintly, "Although the Imperial Garden is a place to enjoy flowers, the defense has never been slackened, and there are masters hidden in the shadows in each garden to prevent accidents." ”Gong Lan said: "But when something happened in the Lotus Garden, there was no master who showed up to protect ......"
Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her face changed suddenly, "What does Niangniang mean that those people were originally the masters who should have guarded the Lotus Garden?"
They are......
Praetorian Guard?
”Lin Yue didn't speak, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was unfathomable.Seeing this, Gong Lan was stunned, but he heard Lin Yue say, "Don't worry, it's not a big mess." ”"But if it's really the Praetorian Guard that has a problem......"
"The Praetorian Guard is fine, it's these people hiding in the Praetorian Guard who have a problem."
Lin Yue said, "You see that their skills are not very good, at least, if they want to kill me, they owe more than a little fire." ”Gong Lan was silent for a moment, frowned, and said puzzledly: "Niangniang mean that they don't want to be unfavorable to you?"
”"Disadvantage?"
Lin Yue shook her head, her smile was meaningful, "Their purpose is definitely not good, so they are innocent, but they are the masterminds behind it, but the purpose is not to kill me." ”
