A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in
Chapter 23 It's Over, Come to Me
Full of hostility.
Furou slowly withdrew her gaze. No matter how important the matter was, she had to wait until she got back to ask. She silently endured those uncomfortable stares and finally waited for the eunuch's bell to ring.
She never thought of letting Lan Ning go, but unfortunately she couldn't find a chance to kill Lan Ning alone.
She couldn't care less about that now. If she let Lan Ning continue like this, her life would not be easy in the future.
Furou had thought of a plan when she was under house arrest. She asked her father and Heng Yue to contact strong men from other tribes at the same time. As long as Lan Ning could be killed under her plan, she would choose the strongest man from those tribes as her husband.
The husband of the future empress of Wanjing Kingdom is still very attractive.
So this morning, many people had secretly ambushed on the Rui Terrace. Even if Jing Ye and Xuan Heng were there to protect him, Lan Ning would definitely not survive the ambush of so many experts.
The bell sounded like an order. She wanted Lan Ning to die here!
Furou took a deep breath, and a smile gradually appeared on her stiff face. She heard a lion's roar, and many people rushed out from the roof of the temple. They were wearing black clothes and masks, so their heads could not be seen. In a few seconds, they dispersed the courtiers who were standing in an orderly manner.
"There are assassins! Protect the emperor!" Someone shouted in panic, and several assassins ran towards the empress. In the blink of an eye, they took care of the eunuchs who were protecting her.
Furou's eyes lit up. She struck out with her palm to stop the assassin. She quickly moved in front of the empress to protect her. "Don't hurt my mother!"
In the crowd, Lan Ning was protected by Xuan Heng, and beside him were several nobles including Bian Zhao. Logically, they should stand beside the empress, but unfortunately the group of assassins separated them, so they came to Lan Ning.
"Don't be afraid, your father will protect you." Bian Zhao really wanted to blindfold Lan Ning at this moment. He didn't want Lan Ning to see any bloody scenes again. However, the latter had a calm face and tiptoed to look in the direction of the empress. Furou had already started fighting with several assassins over there.
Lan Ning sighed. She knew it wouldn't be easy to leave today.
"What does the Regent think?" Bian Zhao knocked an assassin away and did not forget to ask Xuan Heng what he thought about the assassination.
Xuan Heng looked relaxed, "They are all rare masters. They remind me of a few defeated generals."
The lion tribe, the tiger tribe, the eagle tribe and the Liucheng snake tribe.
"Your Excellency, are you not going to protect the Empress? There are quite a few people over there. Princess Furou may not be able to hold on." Xuan Heng protected Lan Ning and retreated repeatedly. There were obviously more assassins on their side.
The road behind them was blocked by court officials, so it was impossible to go out through the main gate, and the assassins were trying to force them to the front of the statue.
Xuan Heng suspected that this group of people were coming for Lan Ning, but all their attacks were directed at himself or these nobles, and they seemed to have no interest in Lan Ning at all.
This shouldn't be the case.
There are some small and insignificant countries around Wanjing Kingdom. For many years, they have been afraid of Wanjing's strength and dared not to overstep their boundaries. How could they dare to sneak into Wanjing and assassinate this time?
The same person who didn't understand was Jing Ye who was trying to get close to the empress. Wanjing City was the capital of the country, and the assassination happened in a sacred place like Rui Terrace. This group of people was simply challenging the dignity of him as the great general who guarded the country.
"You go help the court officials retreat, and the rest of you follow me to protect the empress." Jing Ye quickly arranged his subordinates, and in a flash he appeared in front of the empress, taking the attacks of several assassins for Furou.
"Your Majesty, please follow the guards out quickly. Leave this to us." After saying this, Jing Ye threw himself into the battle.
Furou supported the weak empress and carefully bypassed the battlefield. They passed through the crowded crowd and entered the banquet hall protected by the wolf army. She comforted the empress softly, "Don't worry, the regent and the general are inside, and they will definitely capture all the thieves."
The empress looked at the temple with a little concern. She asked coldly, "Who has been guarding the city during this period? Didn't they even know that an assassin had sneaked into the city?"
The court officials knelt on the ground, and mentioned many names one by one, but they were all refuted by the parties involved. Only Xuan Mo, who had just come out, reported with a frown, "Before Princess Furou was confined to her house, she was in charge."
Later, because of the investigation of the royal heir, both factions in the court were unwilling to give in, and the neutral faction could not win the fight for a while, so the matter of garrison was put on hold. Before the Ji Ji Banquet began, Jing Ye had the trouble to check it out, but there was no problem at that time.
Xuan paused, how could the regent who was in charge of the affairs of Wanjing Kingdom not know about it?
He must know that with his ability he can definitely keep Wan Jing Kingdom safe, but why?
Xuan Mo couldn't figure it out. He looked in the direction of the temple with a complicated expression. Most of the court officials inside had already escaped, with only a few nobles and Lan Ning left.
Thinking of the poor little princess, Xuan Mo became even more worried. He could guess who these assassins came for.
At this moment, Lan Ning was in the temple. She was protected by Xuan Heng behind her. The other party did not let her see any blood and only comforted her occasionally not to be afraid.
Lan Ningke was not afraid, she was well prepared, but she did not expect that Xuan Heng and her father's fighting power was so high.
The assassins Furou found couldn't even get close to them. If this continued, they would be killed soon.
She slowly recovered her strength and finally waited for her 'sixth sense' to work again. At that moment, the noisy sounds around her made her ears hurt.
Lan Ning subconsciously lowered her head to relieve herself. Her abnormality made Xuan Heng worried. Xuan Heng, who was pinching the assassin's neck with one hand, took the time to look back at her and asked her in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Lan Ning nodded obediently, "I'm fine."
Xuan Heng looked at the wave after wave of assassins in front of him impatiently. Although they were all idiots who were not presentable, they were really an eyesore. He had finally got some free time to accompany Xiao Maoer and couldn't waste his time on these rubbish.
"Forget it, let's kill them all. Lord Bian Zhao, please protect Lan Ning and take her out first." Xuan Heng started to use his magic to stuff Lan Ning into Bian Zhao's arms.
Before Lan Ning could react, a large hand covered his eyes. "Let's get out first. He can handle it."
If he couldn't even deal with some assassins, Bian Zhao wouldn't dare to hand over his precious daughter to Xuan Heng.
Bian Zhao protected Lan Ning and walked out of the temple. After they had taken a few steps, new assassins rushed in, as if they wanted to block them inside the temple.
In a panic, Lan Ning smelled a special smell from the blood in the air, which was pungent and unpleasant.
She subconsciously looked towards the source of the smell, only to see several men in black hanging upside down from the beams, holding something burning with sparks in their arms.
"Father! Be careful of the roof!" Lan Ning reminded. Bian Zhao looked up when he heard the voice, but it was too late.
The men in black threw down the things in their arms like throwing water. She saw those things hit the ground and explode instantly.
!!!
There's gunpowder here? That doesn't make sense!
Lan Ning didn't have time to be shocked, she found that most of the gunpowder was thrown towards her.
At this moment, Lan Ning was certain that this was the death trap that Furou had prepared.
Let her die.
