Journey to another world with a legend

Chapter 397 The Killer in the Night

Just as Xue Kui was lying on the bed drowsily, outside the duke's mansion, a masked man in blood jumped over the wall and jumped into the duke's mansion, avoiding the guards vigorously, and came outside Xueguigui's room.

I saw the masked man walking to the one-foot-long door of Xuemeigui, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door lightly. After hearing that there was no response in the room, he tiptoedly opened the door gently, and walked away. Enter the room.

As soon as the masked man entered the room, he immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist and went straight to Xue Meigui's bed. The dagger in his hand flashed coldly, and he stabbed Xue Meigui who was sleeping.

Seeing that the blood rose was about to be destroyed by his knife, a smile flashed across the corner of the masked man's mouth, but the next moment, the smile on his face froze instantly, and his body trembled uncontrollably stand up.

I saw the sleeping Xue Meigui suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, a flame of fighting energy emanated from Xue Meigui's right hand, and struck the masked man directly. , but relying on the powerful strength of rushing up, it is still possible to forcibly cast skills. Of course, its power is far less than attaching skills to weapons.

Seeing Xue Meigui who suddenly changed from a prey to a hunter, the masked man didn't react for a while, so Xue Meigui's fiery swordsmanship hit the latter without any suspense.

The masked man wailed, and his body flew backwards by the powerful impact force of the raging fire swordsmanship. To say that the masked man was not a rookie, he failed in his own assassination and found that Xue Meigui's combat power was not his own. Now that he could deal with it, he immediately used the momentum given to him by the raging fire swordsmanship to dodge out of Xueguigui's attack range.

The masked man who had landed smoothly cast a gloomy glance at Blood Rose, knowing that today's mission had failed, he didn't say much, and jumped out of the window. His assassination skills and techniques were no less than that of Dark Ye, who is famous for his proficiency in assassination techniques. Elf, if he hadn't just seen that the masked man's ears were human ears, Xue Meigui would have thought it was a killer sent by the night elves.

Seeing the masked man jumping out of the window, Xue Meigui didn't chase after him, because she knew that a killer like this who retreats immediately after missing a hit must be proficient in stealth, and the night outside happens to be the best time for this kind of killer. Cover, they are like ghosts in lotus leaves, you never know when, where, and in what way they will assassinate you, so it is unwise to chase them out at this time.

Looking at the gold medal engraved with the word "Dragon Guard" in his hand, Xue Meigui smiled meaningfully, and said to himself: "Is the Dragon Guard family? Hehe, I didn't expect you to be interested in joining us. I know that you will not be content with peace. After all, such a huge empire has fallen into the hands of others. Whoever puts this matter on anyone will feel uncomfortable. If it is done in normal times, I might turn a blind eye and close it. Forget it, wait for Xiaobu to come back and let him deal with it himself. But you should never have chosen to do it at this time. As I said, you must first settle inside when you are in trouble, and now you are cleaned up. It also prevents Xiaobu from being dragged back at critical moments in the future."

After all, Xue Meigui smiled again, turned around and walked towards the bed. After an assassin fails in one assassination, the killer will often not carry out a second assassination on the same day. This is an unwritten rule since there are killers on the mainland. So Xue Meigui wasn't worried that the killer would come back again.

Just as Xue Meigui fell asleep, outside her house, among a pile of rockery in the yard, a masked man with a burnt chest quietly watched Xue Meigui's room. The assassin who just failed to assassinate Blood Rose.

The assassin narrowed his eyes slightly, watching everything in the room quietly, and when he saw that the magic in Blood Rose's room went off again, the assassin even wanted to cry.

As an assassin, he has super endurance like a poisonous snake. There are two main reasons why he suddenly turned around and came out of Xue Meigui's room just now. It was not enough to kill him. Another reason was that, under the circumstances at that time, after he escaped from the bright room, under normal circumstances, the people who were attacked would come out to chase him, and the night was his best. As long as he leads Xue Meigui into the night, or asks the guards in the mansion to look for the assassin, then the Duke's Mansion will be in chaos, and he himself can take advantage of the chaos. He is absolutely sure that he can do her silently. to complete the task assigned above.

But who knew that Xue Meigui didn't play cards according to the routine at all. Looking at the Xuemeigui room where the lights were turned off, she hesitated for a while and finally did not go in. She was really not sure what Xuemeigui was going to do, and the killer's creed did not allow her to carry out a second assassination tonight.

After squatting in the rockery for a while, the masked assassin had to leave in a hurry, but he didn't know that the plaque representing his identity had fallen into Xue Meigui's hands. If he knew, even if he knew he was not Xue Meigui He will also try his best to get his identity card back. The loss of his identity card is absolutely fatal to the killer.

Except for this small episode, the entire Duke's Mansion was still very peaceful, and Xue Meigui was not affected by the killer at all, and had a dream. He dreamed that Lu Xiaobu was back, and in the dream, Lu Xiaobu was As usual, he gently stroked his hair and kissed his forehead, while he snuggled into Lu Xiaobu's arms, talking about the suffering he had suffered after Lu Xiaobu left.

But dreams are dreams after all, no matter how charming you are or how reluctant you are, you still have to wake up. The first ray of sunlight the next morning shone into Xue Meigui's room, and Xue Meigui yawned innocently. Glancing at the pillow where tears were left, Xue Meigui sighed with a wry smile. Since Lu Xiaobu left, he has cried countless times, sometimes waking up from a dream, and then fell into a deep sleep. Even I can't remember how many times I woke up crying.

After tidying up the sheets and washing up briefly, Xue Meigui returned to her aloofness when she was in front of others. After all, she can be said to be the helm of the Os Empire now, and the weakest side of her heart will always be in Lu Xiaoyu's eyes. In front of the cloth, it is never seen by others.

After tidying up, Xue Meigui walked towards the Golden Luan Hall in the palace. Xue Meigui didn't want to live in the palace. Although the facilities in the palace were far more gorgeous than the Duke's Mansion, they lacked human touch. The huge palace seemed deserted. After returning to the Duke's Mansion, the familiar environment, familiar servants and familiar smell will remind Xue Meigui, Lu Xiaobu did not leave, because his smell is still there, so although Xue Meigui can be said to be the queen of the Ossi Empire now , but he does not live in the palace, but in Lu Xiaobu's original duke's mansion.

After walking out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a golden carriage pulled by nine ground dragons had already stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and a group of silver-armored guards followed behind the carriage. After coming out, both the proud imperial guards and the coachman said respectfully, "Hello, Queen."

Their voices were full of respect from the bottom of their hearts, because it was the woman in front of them who withstood the impact of the "devil god" and the Holy See of Light, and kept the sovereignty of the empire. Since Blood Rose took over the power of the Os Empire, the empire The changes in the city are very obvious. The streets in each city are wider, the smiles on the faces of the common people are more, and the nobles who were originally extremely domineering have also restrained themselves.

Think back to when this woman first said that she wanted to be in charge of the Aussian Empire, almost everyone in the empire disagreed, and some people even proposed the slogan of deposing the Queen Blood Rose, because in their opinion, letting a woman in charge of the empire Political power, this is an absurd thing that can no longer be absurd.

However, Xue Meigui did not flinch amidst the tide of opposition. She relied on iron-blooded means and extraordinary command to forcibly take over the power of the empire with the support of the Imperial Finance Minister and the head of the Reaper Legion. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Come out, Xue Meigui, the head of the Reaper Legion, and the Minister of Finance are all part of the same family. Although Ouyang Xin and Fatty can be said to be in power now, they have never forgotten who gave them everything today. So when Xue Meigui proposed to take over the power of the empire, the two gave their full support without saying a word.

With the support of Ouyang Xin, who is in charge of the legion, and the finance minister who is in charge of the empire's economy, the opposition from all over the empire immediately weakened a lot. As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that Blood Rose is determined to win the power of the empire, rather than offend him at this time The future helm of the empire might as well turn around the limelight and support Xue Meigui, maybe Xue Meigui can still remember himself after taking power.

Of course, those who support Xue Meigui also have those who oppose Xue Meigui. After most of the original royal family of the Oss Empire were killed or injured, the mysterious dragon guards also moved from the original dark place to the bright place, whether it was in the army or the court. There are figures of the dragon guards in all of them.

The forces that oppose Xue Meigui's power are headed by the patriarch of the Hulong Clan, and they chanted the slogan "If a woman is in power, the country will perish."

Although they did not fight for Xue Meigui in the end, they also took advantage of this opportunity to install many cronies of the dragon guard clan in the court, and they fought against Xue Meigui everywhere in the court. Well, at least they just hid in the dark and manipulated the policies issued by Xue Meigui, but for some reason, recently they jumped directly to the bright side to point fingers at Xue Meigui.
