I didn't become a princess today

Chapter 363
Pushing the cups and changing the cups, the palace banquet was in full swing, and there were still many noble ladies who wanted to come forward to perform, just want to catch this time and almost fly into the sky.

This time, with the exchange of seven cities from Daming, Nanjiang can breathe a little in a short period of time.

But if we don't deal with the root causes, sooner or later we will be left empty-handed.

Shen Yuan looked in Wei Yan's direction from time to time, but Wei Yan didn't seem to notice it, and didn't know if he didn't recognize her or...had forgotten.

Shen Yuan thought of Wei Yan's symptoms after being hit by the Gu, and guessed that Wei Yan's current situation should be related to the Gu worms planted in his body.

The pool of blood in the dream was ominous, and perhaps the situation was more complicated than she had guessed.

Another round of dancers came to the hall, and Shen Yuan temporarily retracted her gaze from Wei Yan. She looked at the dancers who stepped into the hall without any focus, and tapped her fingers on the table, absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, not knowing what Shen Yuan saw, she looked at a group of dancers passing by in front of her, frowned slightly, and asked Chu Xiu, "Aren't the dancers in the palace trained in a fixed team?"

Chu Xiu replied as a matter of course: "Of course it is fixed. After the dancers in the palace enter the palace, they will first divide into teams and then practice. When performing, the personnel are also determined, and there is no such thing as changing people midway."

Hearing what Chu Xiu said, Shen Yuan didn't let go of her tight lock, but looked at the faces of these dancers.

Shen Yuan has a photographic memory, she has seen this team of dancers just now, but goodbye now, it seems that there are many new faces among them.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the enchanting dancers twisted their waists, showing off their charm to their heart's content. However, Shen Yuan saw two of the dancers trembling slightly, and from the corner of their eyes, they would fall on the people around them from time to time. body, as if he was afraid of something.

Finally, the leading dancer stepped on the dance steps, boldly stepped forward, and slowly approached Chu Xu.

"Chu Xiu, do you have a weapon with you?" Shen Yuan's voice was like a stream of clear water dripping into a frying pan in this noisy environment, and Chu Xiu's mood, which had been a little active because of the palace banquet, instantly calmed down.

"What's the matter?" Chu Xiu's hand in her sleeve had already touched the hidden weapon.

"There are assassins."

As soon as Shen Yuan's words fell, she heard the dancer girl who was close to Chu Xu suddenly draw a soft sword from her waist, and shouted angrily at Chu Xu: "Go to hell!"

At the same time, the assassins who mixed into the dancer team also showed their swords one after another, killing everyone they saw. Everyone in the hall was their target.

Chu Xiu pulled Shen Yuan back, and the hidden weapon in her hand flew out, injuring one person.

Shen Yuan looked in Wei Yan's direction. Wei Yan stood in front of Chu Xu. The short sword that had not yet been unsheathed blocked the assassin's surprise attack. The blade of the soft sword was only two or three inches away from hurting Wei Yan, but Wei Yan Yan didn't even blink his eyes.

Shen Yuan's heart was lifted, and the situation soon became chaotic, several people had been killed, and the timid noble ladies backed away again and again, not daring to look at it.

The entrance of the main hall was sealed, and no one could get out. The sound of silk and bamboo drums that should have stopped was still ringing now. Obviously those musicians were also enemies. They used music to cover up the sound of fighting and screaming, so as not to attract more people.

These assassins are not low in martial arts, several generals are entangled and cannot escape easily, not to mention the noble ladies and noble sons who have no negative power.

Chu Xiu kicked a table with force on her legs, and was split in two by the opponent's long sword, "There must be an internal response in the palace, after I finish this group of people, I will catch the thief who betrayed my brother Ling Chi !"

Although Chu Xiu said harsh words, her abdominal injury had not fully healed, and she still felt a faint pain when she moved just now.

"Come on, I'll take you to Brother Huang's place. It's safer over there, but it's too dangerous here." Chu Xiu held Shen Yuan and protected her to lean towards Chu Xu.

The people around were in a mess, all afraid of being hurt by these sudden assassins, they all ran around like headless chickens, and some even pushed people out to shield themselves from the knife, the smell of blood soon spread in the air .

With the crimson dagger out of its sheath, Wei Yan seemed to be a killing machine that had been pressed into the mechanism. With Chu Xu's order, Wei Yan started to kill.

Seeing Wei Yan like this, Shen Yuan's brain suddenly went blank.

Can't speak, doesn't feel pain, has no memory, and only takes orders from one person... This appearance is simply the second Xiao Nanshan.

"Don't be distracted at this moment!" Chu Xiu dragged Shen Yuan to avoid someone, and finally entered Chu Xu's protection circle, "Brother Huang!"

It was only after Chu Xu recognized Chu Xiu that he said to the two generals beside him, "Protect the princess."

"Yes."

Shen Yuan watched the fight with cold hands and feet, she wanted to stop Wei Yan, but she didn't have the courage to accept the fact.

Once a southern border medicine man is refined, he can live forever, but he has to pay the same price.

They lose their names, their memories, their sense of autonomy, they change from human beings to tools...

A dart half the size of a palm just landed at Shen Yuan's feet, Shen Yuan lowered her eyes, staring at the sharp point on the dart, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and turned into endless layers of black deposits .

Chu Xiu's attention was all on Chu Xu, so she couldn't see Shen Yuan behind her picking up the flying dart and hiding it in her hand.

Wei Yan wiped out half of the assassins almost by himself, and the remaining assassins were also taken down one after another. All the musicians were executed on the spot, not a single one was spared.

The imperial guards who rushed over also knelt down in fear, "The end is late! I beg the king to forgive me."

Chu Xu didn't let the people in the palace go out. After an assassination, dozens of people in the palace were killed or injured. The captured assassin committed suicide with poison, leaving no one alive.

"Today, everyone brought their families to the banquet, right?" Chu Xu asked suddenly after the atmosphere was oppressive and silent for a long time.

The official in charge of the palace banquet scrambled out of the ground, and replied stammeringly: "Yes... yes..."

Chu Xu smiled coldly, and ordered: "Then it will be easy, arrest all the family members, kill one in a quarter of an hour, and one of them will always be your wife and daughter!"

Everyone knew that if so many assassins could sneak into the palace banquet, and all the musicians could be replaced, there must be their internal support, or even the mastermind, in the court.

"My lord spares my life, my lord spares my life! I don't know anything!"

"My lord, please spare me!"

Chu Xu was unmoved, his eyes were full of anger, even if the price today was to kill everyone, he would not let the person who betrayed him go!

"Brother Huang!" Chu Xiu was startled, thinking of the 5000 people who were buried alive, what Chu Xu said now was not just words.
