The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Seeing the arrow miss the target, Wang Yuanya was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stood there in a daze.

And just then...

"Kill!"

A group of men in black rushed out from the alley, holding daggers.

Why a dagger?

Because outsiders coming in will be disarmed! It's not easy to get a dagger here.

Zhang Xiaolan and Wang Yuanya both looked panicked. Faced with this group of ferocious men in black, they could only fight them with all their might.

However, they were women and unarmed.

How to fight this?

There was only a "puff" sound, accompanied by a muffled groan, and a cut was directly made on Wang Yuanya's arm.

Zhang Xiaolan was horrified and rushed over, "Wang Yuanya!"

She tried her best to stop these people and prevent them from killing Wang Yuanya. After all, the task given to her by Li Zhenbei was to protect Wang Yuanya.

Unfortunately, not only did Zhang Xiaolan fail to save Wang Yuanya, but she was also stabbed.

Wang Yuanya dodged and struggled desperately, but one of the men in black swung a dagger and stabbed her in the chest.

But just then...

boom!

Just when the injured Wang Yuanya was about to die, there was a sudden sharp gunshot. The assassin had a bloody hole in his head and fell straight down.

The two groups of people who were stabbing and fighting desperately turned around when they heard the gunshots, and then they were stunned!

On the street, a man was riding on a tall horse, holding a pitch-black musket in his hand. The soldiers around him also held muskets and looked at this side coldly.

When Wang Yuanya saw the man with the gun, she happily shouted, "Husband!"

Li Jize: "..."

Lean north on me!

This road is his way back to the Prince of Qin's Palace.

After finishing his official duties, he returned home under the escort of his personal guards and saw a group of thugs killing two women in the street.

Under his rule, there were still such rampant things. Li Jize decided to treat them to a plate of "peanuts"! The kind without wine.

Who would have thought that the people rescued would be the ugly Wang Yuanya and an unknown girl.

Li Jize didn't waste any words and shouted directly, "Capture them all for me!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the soldiers shouted at these people to put down their weapons and put their hands on their heads.

result……

Their leader actually shouted out, "The wind is strong! Hurry!"

Then, he left Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan behind and ran away.

This made Li Jize and his guards stunned!

What are they doing?

No! They wouldn't think that the Qin army had bows and arrows or fire sticks, right?

Amidst the crackling sounds, the soldiers began shooting. After one after another fell, the others dared not run anymore.

There's no way to escape! Even a god can't escape!

"Don't move! Put down your weapons and put your hands up!"

"If you dare to move, I'll blow your head off!"

"I don't dare, sir, I don't dare!"

For a moment, after the soldiers pointed their guns at their heads, all the assassins became obedient and dared not move again.

After everyone was under control, Li Jize rode his horse and walked over slowly.

Wang Yuanya was overjoyed. Covering the wound on her arm, she excitedly stepped forward and shouted, "Husband!"

pity!

As soon as she said these two words, Li Jize's horse did not stop at all, and walked past her with a cold face.

Wang Yuanya's smile froze when she saw this, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

he……

Sure enough, he still resents himself for being an undercover agent of the rebels and deceiving him, right?

"Take the man away!"

Seeing that their own Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had left, the soldiers escorted the assassins away without looking back.

Watching Li Jize walking away without looking back, Wang Yuanya felt even more lost and uncomfortable, as if something was tugging at her heart.

Zhang Xiaolan, who was standing next to him, also looked at Li Jize on horseback. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. She followed him away little by little, and finally disappeared without a trace...

Zhang Xiaolan turned around, looked at Wang Yuanya, and complained directly, "Tsk! What does Li Jize mean? When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys! He said that we should wait for his summons, but now we have clearly met, why is he turning a blind eye? And..."

At this point, looking at Wang Yuanya, who was silent and had a grim expression on her face, she added angrily, "Yuanya! A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. After all, you two have lived together in the capital for so long! You've been through so many ups and downs, so what? I think he has no mercy at all!"

Wang Yuanya: “…”

I was already feeling uncomfortable, and she insisted on adding salt to the wound.

Sighing, Wang Yuanya shook his head and said in confusion, "I don't know either. Maybe the Northern King entrusted the wrong person! Maybe... maybe if the person who came to negotiate this time was someone else, maybe he would definitely meet with him!"

After saying this, Wang Yuanya pinched the wound on her arm, turned around and walked away step by step.

Seeing her "disoriented" look, Zhang Xiaolan was puzzled and looked in the direction Li Jize left...

Well! Wang Yuanya might be right.

Originally, Li Zhenbei asked her to come because of the unclear relationship between Wang Yuanya and Li Jize.

For example, when Wang Yuanya came, Li Jize promised not to attack the rebels, and told them to go and fight the barbarians without worry. He really kept his word!

Li Zhenbei still wants to replicate it once more, but I'm afraid it will be difficult!

As this happened, the two of them had complicated thoughts in their minds and walked towards the inn.

As they were walking, Wang Yuanya suddenly stopped, which confused Zhang Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, should we...should we go back?"

"what?"

Zhang Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this. "Go back? Why? Our original mission was to discuss cooperation, and we haven't completed it yet! If we go back like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the King of the North!"

"Do you think we can complete the mission if we stay here?"

After Wang Yuanya said these words calmly, Zhang Xiaolan froze on the spot, a little dumbfounded.

Ah this...

Indeed! Li Jize clearly saw them just now, but in the end he pretended not to see them.

The subtext of this already means that there is no way he will meet with them, so naturally there is no question of cooperation.

Furthermore, Wang Yuanya might be feeling a little uncomfortable and want to escape from this place as soon as possible...

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaolan sighed and said helplessly: "Okay! Let's leave tomorrow."

"Ok!"

After agreeing, Wang Yuanya dragged his tired body to the inn.

Who would have thought that a eunuch was already waiting here.

He smiled and said, "You two are the envoys of the rebel army, right? His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin invites you!"
