Its tight defense is astonishing.

But Sui still looked indifferent. After looking around for a few times, he shook his head slightly.

"Is this serious?"

She looked at Maria beside her and asked with some confusion.

In her mind...it was just a sneak attack.

It's not a big deal.

Is it necessary for so many people to appear here?

"..."

Sui did not hide his voice. Soon, a large number of imperial guards turned their heads and stared at Sui seriously.

Zuo Zheng, who was standing by, also had a headache, but he still took out the token in his hand and showed it to everyone present.

"Give Way!"

Although Zuo Zheng looked like a punching bag in front of Maria and Sui, in the eyes of others, the girl was still an absolute prodigy. After seeing the token, they hesitated for a while and then decisively refused.

"Sorry, Miss Zuo, the situation is urgent now. You are not allowed to enter until we find the madman!"

Although the girl revealed her identity, the imperial guards did not dare to let her in easily, but refused decisively.

"This……"

Seeing that the token was useless, Zuo Zheng hesitated, but after a moment, she gritted her teeth and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"General Wei! General Wei!"

"Ok?"

The nearby imperial guards heard the sudden commotion and looked over. Several vigilant imperial guards were already approaching with their weapons raised.

Seeing this scene, the man next to him also frowned slightly.

But fortunately, things here did not get out of hand.

Soon, several internal guards came out.

Although they cannot be compared with the imperial guards in terms of status, who made them Wei Sanzheng's personal soldiers?

After they appeared, the actions of the other imperial guards paused slightly.

But soon, the other party spoke.

"His Highness has ordered these people to come in."

"Yes!"

The Imperial Guards hesitated at this time, but after a moment, they nodded.

After all, as imperial guards, what they train most on a daily basis is not actually fighting, but obeying orders.

For them, no identity is as direct as the simplest command.

So, after the other party gave the order, their leader thought for a few moments and then waved his hand.

At the side, the guard came forward decisively and led him in.

When Sui saw this, he did not continue to attack. He just curled his lips and walked inside.

Soon, surrounded by a large group of people, Maria and Sui met the current emperor.

It was different from what Maria thought.

Although he was attacked, the man was still conscious. Although his face was a little pale, his fighting spirit was not diminished at all.

After seeing Maria and others coming here, he nodded slightly.

On the side, a large group of Wei Sanzheng's personal soldiers were on guard around.

Several bodies lay on the ground, apparently dead.

Several elderly doctors, led by young apprentices, were trying their best to heal the man's abdominal wound.

Although this wound is not actually fatal, it will be fully recovered in one or two weeks with normal treatment.

But after all, given their status, they dare not neglect it.

"You two, please come."

The man waved his hand, and the doctors beside him almost immediately stepped back.

He also stood up slowly, patted Wei Sanzheng's shoulder first, and then walked step by step to the two people.

After taking a deep breath, his eyes became sharper.

"So... you're not dead yet? If you're not dead, why are you calling us here?"

He is still as outspoken as ever.

She thought these villains were about to die and were preparing to do something big, so they called her and others over.

result……

That's it?

Then why call them over?

"...Maybe the wicked live longer."

The man said something casually and then looked at Zuo Zheng beside him.

He actually didn't call Maria and others.

The main thing is that he can be sure that this assassination has nothing to do with these two people... After all, for the behemoth, such a situation is just a minor fight.

But Zuo Zheng still called Maria and others.

Obviously, Zuo Zheng was worried that he would mistakenly think that the attack was done by these two behemoths, which would lead to a deterioration in the relationship between the two sides?

This made the man feel a little helpless.

As the person who was the first to be attacked by the assassin, he was able to identify the key to the matter at once, but Zuo Zheng actually didn't see it... It can only be said that he was too concerned.

But... does this attitude mean that these two girls are very important to Zuo Zheng?

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, but still gathered these thoughts and looked at Maria and Sui beside him again.

"It was just a petty theft... I didn't expect you guys to come here."

"Um……"

Sui didn't mean to reply, but Maria turned her head slightly.

"I heard you haven't caught the murderer yet?"

"..."

"There may be some problems with your defense design."

Maria spoke calmly, but even these words made the guards beside her lower their heads.

The Emperor of Great Yan is the center of the entire Yan Kingdom. As his guards, they could actually allow the assassin to attack and escape in such a brazen manner?

This is no longer just dereliction of duty, it can even be said to be malfeasance!

Maria's words almost pierced their hearts.

When the man saw this scene, he just shook his head.

"This isn't their problem. An attack on the palace hasn't happened in nearly a hundred years... We're not plants, so how can we be so tense all the time?"

"but……"

The man first spoke to comfort the other guards, then changed the subject, "This matter can't be brushed aside like this."

The man looked at Wei Sanzheng beside him.

"Third brother..."

"I'm here!"

Wei Sanzheng was an honest man. He didn't want to defend himself at this time. He just gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

No matter what the reason was, the end result was that they not only failed to protect the safety of the good man, but they even failed to catch the criminal... He would not be surprised even if he was beheaded for such dereliction of duty.

"The salaries of all members of the Fire Guard will be reduced by one level this year, and the ranks of all lieutenants will be reduced by two levels."

The man did not hesitate.

The emperor may be easy to talk to, but his majesty cannot be violated!

In fact, after such a big incident, the only punishment was demotion and salary deduction, which is already a great favor.

The other guards also sighed softly after hearing these punishments.

Anyway, at least I saved my life.

But the story obviously doesn't end here.

"As for the other punishments, we'll discuss them after you catch that scoundrel..."

"I'll give you three days and nights... If you can't produce anything within three days and nights, even if it's you, Third Brother, I won't show any mercy..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Sanzheng gritted his teeth and spoke decisively.

He knew that the man wanted to minimize the matter.

No matter what, such a big thing happened. As his bodyguard, he would be exiled at least if not dismissed from his post.

But the man did not start to accuse him immediately. Instead, he gave him three days... It was obvious that he wanted him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

This made him feel even more grateful to the man.

Maria watched this scene silently. After a moment of silence, she turned her head to the side.

"that's all?"

“…This is not the most important thing right now.”

The man certainly understood what Maria meant, but he really didn't plan to settle the accounts for the time being.

The most important thing now is to find out who the attacker is and what his purpose is.

Just as he himself said, no one dared to attack this imperial city for almost a hundred years.

Now that such a big thing has happened suddenly, even he is a little dazed.

But Maria didn't care much about it.

The king was assassinated...isn't that normal?

It is actually very rare for an emperor to live to the end of his life.

Therefore, she did not say much about the man's decision and turned her head slightly.

"Then...a few over there."

"Ah... indeed, little sister, come out."

Noticing that Maria turned her head, the man paused for a few seconds, then turned his head and looked to the side.

Although they were brothers and sisters, Maria could tell that compared to his indifference towards Wei Sanzheng, the man was obviously more concerned about this so-called youngest sister.

As he called out, a woman who was lying next to a white-haired maid in the library walked out with a look of horror on her face.

After seeing the corpse beside her, she was so frightened that she buried her head in the maid's arms and trembled all over.

"Little sister..."

Seeing this scene, the man felt a little distressed.

He didn't care about his status and walked over a few steps.

"Brother Emperor..."

The girl's hair was snow-white, and her wide eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

Panic.
