The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 663 It's him in the dimly lit place! (2)
The sound of Leng Jian piercing through the air was shrill.

The emperor suddenly jumped up from the throne, his muddy eyes instantly turned clear, and he said coldly, "Is there an assassin breaking in?"

"It shouldn't be an outsider!" Li Ruixiang gestured calmly, directing the guards to resist the random arrows, and a layer of frost had already shrouded his expression.

Judging from the formation of these archers, it is absolutely impossible for them to be just assassins who sneaked into the palace.

If it was really an assassin, how could such a large group of people sneak in quietly under such strict guards in the palace?
obviously--

The most reliable explanation is that some imperial forest troops in the palace were bribed and used.

"Damn it!" The emperor gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words from between his teeth. While retreating with the guards, he gritted his teeth, and the muscles around his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

The guards around him were always sufficient, and now dozens of people formed an impenetrable barrier to protect him in the middle.

Some of the random arrows shot were swept down by the guards, and some only injured the guards on the periphery.

So for a while, the emperor was fine.

But relatively speaking, the situation of the courtiers who entered the palace for the banquet was not very good. Although Chu Yian urgently ordered the nearby Imperial Forest Army to help evacuate the crowd, those civil servants and female relatives were already in chaos and could not control the situation at all. Can't stop, while running around, countless people were injured by stray arrows.

Someone was injured, someone saw blood, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

Chu Yi'an snatched a guard's saber, and while fending off a round of cold arrows, he retreated to the emperor's side and asked on guard: "How is the father? You are not injured!"

"Your Majesty is fine!" When the Emperor was furious, he was speechless at all, but it was Li Ruixiang who replied on his behalf: "Your Highness, the situation here is not right, there should be something wrong with the Imperial Forest Army—"

"I just looked around, but I didn't find Yang Yunqing!" Chu Yi'an said in a deep voice, also with a dignified expression.

Yang Yunqing is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. On such a big occasion, he should have taken orders near the banquet in case of emergency. Now that his people are not here, there are only two possibilities——

One is that some people are afraid of his bad deeds, and have secretly killed him.

And another kind-

It goes without saying that he took advantage of his position to guard and steal from himself.

Either way, this person is hopeless.

Quickly calming down, Chu Yi'an said: "Don't worry about it here, you protect your father and go first, and the matter here will be handled by this Palace!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already broken out from the protective circle around the emperor.

"Your Majesty, these people are not kind, so let's avoid them first!" Li Ruixiang said, and he wanted to help the emperor's hand.

Unexpectedly, the emperor pushed him away furiously, with such great strength that Li Ruixiang staggered directly.

Then he saw his face contorted, and he yelled, "I'm just watching here, I'm not going anywhere!"

It would be okay if it was just an assassin who broke into the palace gate to assassinate, but now, someone blatantly instigated the palace guards under his nose, and started such a bloody massacre.

Such a thing has never been seen before.

Someone massacred civil and military officials in the palace in front of him, and it spread——

It is simply a great shame and a joke.

The emperor's face was full of anger, and his whole body was on the verge of erupting. His expression was dark and cold, as if he was a beast that could eat people at any time.

Even for Li Ruixiang, it was the first time to see him showing such an expression, and he was stunned for a moment when he couldn't react in time.

However, it was only his momentary hesitation, which suddenly gave people an opportunity to take advantage of——

Among the guards beside the emperor, there was a medium-sized guard whose half face was hidden behind the emperor, and suddenly his eyes moved.

It wasn't a very obvious murderous look, but Li Ruixiang was a person who had to wait for vigilance, and immediately sensed something, and subconsciously called out, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

As he spoke, he rushed towards the emperor.

He grabbed the emperor's hand, and at the same time as he was about to tear the emperor away, a cold light flashed at the back of the emperor's waist, and a dagger thrust out violently.

In the nick of time, even though the emperor was pulled by Li Ruixiang, he still felt a sharp pain on the side of his waist. The dragon robe and belt were pulled apart completely, and the fabric was torn, accompanied by a bright blood splash. .

The emperor snorted and staggered.

The man missed a blow, and then made another blow.

At this moment, Li Ruixiang had no room to pull the emperor away, so he had no choice but to take a step forward, block behind the emperor, and directly meet the man.

That person was determined to kill, and he didn't have the slightest tolerance to strike.

This knife was about to pierce Li Ruixiang's ribs, and under the surrounding danger, there was a sudden change. The light above his head suddenly dimmed. Before everyone could look up, they saw a heavy object falling down on their heads. , the position is impartial, right in front of Li Ruixiang.

but it is--

The corpse of a bloody bodyguard.

When the corpse fell, it blocked the assassin's sight for a moment, and at the same time, to avoid being hit, the man subconsciously took half a step back.

At this moment, another figure floated down from the sky.

This time, the figure of the visitor was very light and flexible. While stepping on the corpse that had just landed, the scimitar in his hand was retracted and slashed, and there were blood lines flying in the cold light, which was already on the assassin's chest. A deep bone-deep wound was opened.

Today's suitable appearance is to enter the palace as Su Yi's future wife, and she is wearing a lotus-colored and exquisitely crafted costume.

The blood splashed from the wound on the assassin's chest, and immediately stained her clothes, leaving her in a panic.

Warm and disgusting blood splashed on her face, but the woman didn't change her face, and turned around without any hesitation.

Her eyes were cold, she didn't stay on anyone irrelevant, she passed by Li Ruixiang, and then helped the slightly injured and crumbling emperor.

The emperor was sweating profusely, and was also a little surprised, and stared at her defensively.

Shi Rong pursed the corners of her lips tightly, expressionless, but said in a humble and respectful tone: "Shi Rong has never intended to betray the emperor!"

With just one sentence, she firmly supported the emperor's arm, calmly commanded the guards to fight a bloody path, and led the emperor to a safe place.

This woman is decisive and relentless. She seems to have a natural appeal that can arouse people's bloody fighting spirit.
