Those eyes were as dark as ever, but I wonder if it was because of the coldness of swords and blood surrounding me, but I seemed to see a faint cruelty from that blackness, which made people feel a little terrible.    ?

He almost subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but his hand was still tightly grasped by him.

Because of the injury and blood loss, my whole body was very cold, especially my hands were even cold as if they were frozen by ice and snow, but his hands were hot. My slender wrists were almost burning or even melting.

I struggled a little, and the next moment, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from the ground with force.

When I stood up, the person was still staggering and almost fell into his arms. I gritted my teeth to make myself stand a little firmer, but his hand did not let go, but instead pulled me closer and looked down at me: "Is it hurt?"

His low and cold voice and the temperature on his hands were two opposite extremes. I was trembling slightly by the gap.

Actually, I thought he would question me.

The situation just now was so chaotic that others might not care about it, but I knew that with his cleverness, he would not miss any details. He should have noticed that I shouted a warning before the assassin's trouble, but now everyone has left, only us, and the guards around him who look at the nose and nose, he did not question it.

He, don't plan to ask, or - no need to ask?

Thinking of this, my heart felt a little dizzy again, and I felt his hand reaching out and twisting my chin, and gently lifting it to me to look at him: "I'm asking you."

My heart beat, not sure what he meant, but his other hand had reached over and wrapped around my waist, allowing me to gently press onto his body. I could feel the slight throbbing of my body as I breathed, and his breath was also lingering in the tip of my nose, surrounding me.

The atmosphere, which was originally a bit cold because of swords and blood, suddenly became a little charming because of his actions.

“…No, it’s okay.”

After saying that, I gently avoided his hand with a nearly soft force and took a step back.

The guards around him were still standing calmly as if they had seen nothing, as the sun shone in from outside, shining on his hand that was still stretching in the air.

The two people were speechless.

After a while, the sound of people gradually became buzzing. Perhaps because the queen and Concubine Li and Yunpin had left, but the emperor had not yet gone down to Yaowu Tower, the ministers were a little worried. At this time, Pei Yuanhao turned around and walked downstairs without saying a word.

I was relieved and followed silently.

.

After getting off the Yaowu Tower, I saw almost everyone in the martial arts field coming.

I followed Pei Yuanhao, lowered my head and carefully protected the wound on my arm until I went down the steps, and then I gently raised my head. As soon as I looked up, I subconsciously captured the familiar figure in the crowd.

He stood far away, almost obscured by the crowd, but he didn't care about the hustle and bustle around him. He just kept searching with his bright black eyes, and his eyes were a little anxious, as if he was eager to find something. When my eyes were on him, the pale face suddenly felt a little vitality.

It was clearly so far away, but I seemed to hear his relieved voice.

I reached out and stroked my arm gently, looking at him from afar, and he just looked at me like this and lowered his head.

Another silence.

At this time, the Minister of War had already brought the people up and knelt down on the ground with a pounce: "Emperor, Your Majesty! The criminal's protection is not effective, which will scare the emperor. The criminal's crime deserves ten thousand deaths! The criminal's crime deserves ten thousand deaths!"

Pei Yuanhao only glanced at them indifferently.

This time, it was not severe, and there was not even too much emotion, but those people were already sweating coldly and kowtowed repeatedly.

The martial arts examination in Yaowu Tower was the chief examiner of the Ministry of War. Although the emperor brought the guards of the Imperial Guards, the Ministry of War was still doing the protection here, which actually allowed the assassins to sneak into the team of the candidates and almost succeeded. Even if the nine clans were not killed, their heads would not be easy to protect.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Pei Yuanhao still didn't say anything, but just looked at them condescendingly.

The atmosphere in the martial arts court became more and more serious. I stood behind him and looked at the tall and wide back. I didn't know what he was thinking for a moment. But the group of people from Shen Gongyi who were originally going to come from the Viewing Pavilion in the distance saw this scene and hurried over and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

Pei Yuanhao then snorted coldly, and looked at the Minister of War and said word by word: "Hongji, you are so brave!"

At this time, Mr. Hong was so scared that he was no longer looking at him. He kowtowed with a pounding and pounding. The martial arts field was full of solid stone floors. After a while, blood was already splattering on his forehead. Those who saw it were shocked. Pei Yuanhao seemed to have not seen it. His eyes were like a sword. He looked at him coldly and said fiercely: "The imperial examination in the martial arts field was originally to select talents for our dynasty. In the future, he led troops to fight to pacify the world and to pacify the generals of all directions. You are so good that you dare to let the assassins get involved in the test takers. If they do not come today for the purpose of assassination, will they want me to give millions of soldiers to the treacherous and slandered people in the future and put the safety of the whole country of the Celestial Empire on the fire? Hong Ji, what should you blame!"

"Emperor, I am accused me of death..."

"Sin deserves ten thousand deaths? Even if there is ten thousand deaths, your sins will not be eliminated!"

His voice became louder and louder. When he said the last sentence, he was as deafening as a thunderbolt. Everyone around him was so scared that he changed his face and knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

I was behind him and I was also a little scared to hear it.

Although I always knew that he was not a good-tempered person, he had not had such a big thunder several times. Often, his cruelty was enough to shock everyone. Seeing his anger, the ministers around him were all proud of breath and stood with their breath in their arms.

"Come on, drag it on me and behead you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Imperial Guard had already come up, took off Mr. Hong's official hat and dragged him down. Mr. Hong was so scared that his face looked like a dirt at this time, and he struggled desperately to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, please spare your life!"

His begging for mercy was useless at all, and several guards had already come forward to drag him away.

Watching Hong Ji be dragged out, the crying gradually faded away. Pei Yuanhao murmured in a small voice: "It seems that I have monitored these six departments too late!"

He said this sentence not very loudly, but as soon as he said it, it was like lightning and thunder. The people around him were so scared that they didn't dare to take a breath. At this time, when he heard his words, everyone was so shocked that they opened their eyes wide. For a moment, the huge martial arts field was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left.

I don't know how long it took to hear a mature voice slowly-

"Prince, please calm down."

When he looked down, it was Shen Gong. Although Pei Yuanhao was furious, he had to worry about the father-in-law and raised his hand: "Master Taifu, please calm down."

"Did the emperor hurt the dragon's body?"

"I'm not seriously injured."

He was helped up by Pei Yuanhao and said carefully: "This time, an assassin sneaked into the capital. It was really a mistake for the ministers. Fortunately, with the guards, the emperor's dragon body was not hindered."

Pei Yuanhao glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes and said, "It is their duty to protect the Imperial Guard. This time I was able to escape the assassin's sniper this time, but it was because of the three people who protected the carriage."

"Oh? Which three?"

Pei Yuanhao smiled slightly, turned his head to look at me, and suddenly everyone around him looked at me. I was stunned for a moment and saw a faint smile on his face: "If Qingying had just sacrificed her life to protect her, I was afraid--"

He didn't finish his words, and he didn't need to finish them.

Together with me, everyone changed their faces.

He called me "Qingying"!

My current identity is not a concubine or a palace maid, but an official from Jixian Palace. When people in the court see me, they would call me "Master Yue", but he just called me by my name!

Everyone around me looked at the blood-colored bandages on my hands.

Looking at their appearance, I felt a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, I dare not take credit!"

While speaking, I looked at the crowd in panic and saw the familiar figure, but it seemed that it was really going to be destroyed by the sea of ​​people. After hearing the emperor's words, there was no expression on his face, but he just silently lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered his clear eyes, and he could not see anything.

My throat suddenly clogged.

The pain on the arm that could have endured seemed to be severe again at this time, and the heart meridians hurt all the way to my chest. I could almost feel my face pale, as if the blood in my body was about to freeze into ice.

Shin Gongyi also looked at me with a smile on his face: "This time, thanks to Lord Yue."

“…”

"However, the emperor just said that there are three people who have made contributions to protecting the emperor, and I wonder if the other two are—"

Pei Yuanhao smiled slightly and said, "Come on, tell them to come forward."

Changsui immediately went down, and soon he saw Sun Jingfei and Shen Xiaokun being led up.

I have seen Sun Jingfei before. This is the first time that Shen Xiaokun, a young man, is looking up close. Looking back at the Yaowu Tower just now, he really has some ability, especially killing the assassin with one move. Not to mention the sharpness of his move, it is not something that ordinary people can do if he can have such a fatal ruthlessness. Moreover, he is only eighteen years old and has a baby face, with round eyes slightly drooping, and he looks a little childish, but he is tall and has a wide shoulders and back, but he has a compelling momentum.

He has not followed his uncle to help in the court for many years, and has been hiding it before. This time he made a big splash in martial arts test.

When Shin Gongyi saw him, he also showed some joy: "Is Xiaokun a contribution to protecting the emperor?"

"Master Taifu, your nephew is a little capable."

When Shen Gongyi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your praise, the emperor."

At this time, Sun Jingfei and Shen Xiaokun also came up and both bowed to the emperor to thank him. Pei Yuanhao looked at them and smiled and said, "Very good. You two are on the Yaowu Tower today, but they are showing off their power. One is powerful and fearless tigers from the mountain, and the other is as fierce and courageous as a newborn calf. If there is such a tiger general in our dynasty, why worry about the unfairness of the world and the uncertainty of all directions?"

When the ministers around him heard his words, they shouted in unison: "I wish the emperor to pacify the world and his war uniforms!"

At this time, someone in the crowd whispered: "Who is the top martial arts scholar?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at the two people together.

My heart skipped a beat.
