The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

The assassin on the opposite side did not expect that there was someone standing behind the Emperor of Chu.

The dragon throne is wide and has a curtain behind it, which is enough for one person to hide.

He widened his eyes and looked into the eyes of the young man opposite who was grinning evilly.

The young man raised his arm and flipped the crossbow switch. A sharp arrow shot out and went straight to his forehead.

Although it is a light crossbow, the crossbow arrow shot from such a close distance is extremely powerful.

The assassin was unable to dodge and was hit right between the eyebrows, dying with his eyes open.

The assassin was knocked back two or three steps by the crossbow arrow and fell to the ground with a bang.

The King of Chu took this opportunity to look at his sons. The second son clenched the wine glass in his hand and bent his body slightly, as if he was startled, but when he came to his senses, there was a hint of excitement in his expression.

The fourth brother, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes, stood up and prepared to rush forward.

When he saw the fifth prince, Emperor Chu's eyes darkened completely.

The Fifth Prince had been drinking at the palace banquet because of the recent suppression and neglect from the Emperor of Chu. When he saw this scene, he was a little drunk and it was most obvious.

He stood erect, his mind focused, not even trying to stand up. His pupils were slightly dilated, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

And there was Xiaoliu. The Sixth Prince's face was full of panic and fear. He fell down because he was too flustered when he stood up. When Emperor Chu looked over, he saw him climbing up with his arms.

Until the assassin fell to the ground, the originally chaotic palace banquet suddenly became silent.

Everyone's eyes turned to Emperor Chu, no, it could be said that everyone's eyes turned to the young man who appeared behind Emperor Chu.

The first one to recognize him was Lu. She covered her mouth and looked at the young man behind Emperor Chu in disbelief.

Is this, is this her Kang Ge'er?

They have grown so big now.

Her eyes began to moisten and her vision began to blur.

The next one was Chu Qinling. He fell and when he looked up, he saw the assassin fall to the ground.

Looking over there, I saw Kang Ge'er standing behind his father with a smirk on his face.

There were also other people who looked surprised.

Lord Rob had already rushed forward quickly and was almost able to catch the assassin, but he saw the assassin suddenly retreat several steps and fall down.

It was shocking to see this brat running behind His Majesty.

He was almost anxious to death when he said he couldn't find anyone before. Now when he saw this kid, he knew that this must be a signal from His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, is the dragon in good health?"

Lord Luo knelt in front of Emperor Chu and looked at him with a worried look on his face.

At this time, everyone at the palace banquet knelt down, except the Emperor of Chu who was still standing.

The Emperor of Chu glanced around and reached out to help Master Luo up.

"I'm fine, my dear, please get up quickly."

Turning around, he saw the queen also kneeling, and called her and the imperial concubine up.

The rest of the people did not receive any instructions and continued to kneel.

The King of Chu still remembered who had shot the arrow. He turned around to speak to him, but saw no one.

The Emperor of Chu took a step to the side and looked sideways, just in time to stare at Kang Ge'er.

"Why are you kneeling here? Why don't you come out?"

The King of Chu found Kangger kneeling behind the dragon throne with half of his face blocked by a curtain and found the scene really funny.

The anger he originally felt at being assassinated was dispelled by a smile after he saw this scene.

Kang Ge'er looked up and heard the Emperor of Chu calling him out. He stood up, patted his body, and then stood out.

"Your Majesty, this boy is quite capable. He said he could protect you, and he certainly could."

Emperor Chu patted Kang Ge'er's shoulder. This kid had become half a head taller than him after not seeing him for a few years.

"Not bad, not bad. The Duan family has done a great job in educating people."

After hearing the conversation between the two, the people below were all wondering whose descendant this was.

When hearing the name Duan, most people thought of Duan Bo's Mansion, but they all felt that it was impossible.

"You all get up."

The King of Chu then sat back on the dragon throne and looked at the huge crowd kneeling.

The corpse on the ground was dealt with quickly, and even the traces were wiped away, as if nothing had happened.

There is no need to keep such assassins alive, as nothing can be obtained from them.

"Please sit down, everyone. It's a pity to ruin such a good mood."

The King of Chu drank a glass of wine and placed it heavily on the table.

The sound struck the hearts of everyone below, making their hearts skip a beat.

At this time, Kang Ge'er stood next to Emperor Chu and winked at Chu Qinling.

Chu Qinling didn't dare to look away, but his peripheral vision was focused on Kang Ge'er.

Seeing that he was not serious, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly lowered it. No one noticed except Kang Ge'er.

Kang Ge'er had already seen his mother and the others, but he was always afraid to glance over there. When he noticed his mother crying, Kang Ge'er became a little anxious.

Emperor Chu noticed the movement of the boy beside him and turned his head to look over.

Kang Ge gave an awkward but polite smile.

The King of Chu looked towards Duan Bo's mansion, and remembering what the boy had complained to him in the morning, he spoke out.

"My little general, go back to the Earl's Mansion. You haven't fulfilled your filial duties for several years. Stay in the capital for a while."

General Duan!

The King of Chu said this with a smile, and others didn't know whether this statement was true or false.

But as the saying goes, a king never jokes. The impact of these four words was too great, and everyone in the palace looked at Kang Ge'er.

Kang Ge'er gave a military salute and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he walked back to Duan Bo's house "calmly". Although he looked calm, he was actually extremely nervous inside.

But when he really took this step, Kang Ge'er's steps became faster and faster.

Walking up, he immediately knelt down, hugging his grandmother.

"Grandma, I am an unfilial grandson. I made you suffer for my sake."

When he heard the news about his grandmother, although it was good news and bad news at the same time, he still felt sad.

Now that I see my grandmother is fine, I feel relieved, but in the blink of an eye, all I feel is guilt and fear.

My grandmother is old and really can't afford to cause any trouble.

Song Shengfu looked at Kang Ge'er in detail. There were several old scars on his face, which looked like they had been there for some time.

There was a cut above the brow bone, as if it had been cut, and the eyebrow was missing a line, which had now turned into a white scar.

Also on the cheeks and chin.

"Brother Kang? Is it really you?"

Song Shengfu couldn't believe her eyes. They had been waiting for Kang Ge'er since they heard that the emperor had returned from the capital. Now that he had finally returned, they couldn't see Kang Ge'er because he didn't leave the city.

Only high-ranking military officers who were about to be awarded titles attended the palace banquet. Although they had no hope, they still looked among those generals again and again, but there was no sign of Kang Ge'er.

They were numb to the ridicule in their ears and just wanted to find him quickly.

Mrs. Lu stepped forward, held Kang Ge'er's face, and touched the scar on his face with heartache.

"Does it hurt?"

Kang Ge'er called out "Mom", his voice was slightly choked and became hoarse.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

At least he remembered that this was a palace banquet. They sat down and his family members gathered around him and started asking about his well-being.
