Zu An was originally a little worried that Qiu Honglei's master would be cut in half on the spot, but who knew that in the blink of an eye the situation would suddenly change and the situation would turn over directly. However, it seemed that Zhu Xiechi's heart was not seriously hurt and he still needed to be beaten.
But he was more concerned about the three words Zhu Xie Chixin just said: Grand Master!
This woman is actually a great master?
Then wouldn't it be possible to brag about the fact that he had just escaped the Grand Master's attack without any damage?
The long-haired woman did not answer, but simply waved her hand casually. After Qiu Honglei's break, the encircled believers were supported by a soft force and flew out of the East Palace in an instant.
Zhu Xie hurriedly ordered: "Guo Zhi, you lead your troops to protect the prince to a safe area; Zhao Yuan, you lead your troops to chase the assassin; on gold medal eleven, you take the embroidered messengers present to each palace gate to inform the guards of the specific situation.
, we must not let an assassin go, any one who resists will be killed without mercy!"
The imperial army in the palace is mainly divided into four branches: left and right guards, guerrillas, and knights.
Guo Zhi is the right-guard general, and Zhao Yuan is the guerrilla general. He is also a member of the royal family, but his bloodline is relatively remote from the current royal family.
Too many things happened in the palace today, and the entire Forbidden Army was in chaos. The other General Zuowei and General Qiaoqi didn't know whether they were on the Queen's side or where they were. Anyway, they haven't seen anyone yet.
Guo Zhi and Zhao Yuan also just came over with people.
The four generals are all eighth-level masters. Now as long as Zhu Xie holds back the long-haired woman with the highest level of cultivation among the assassins, they can suppress the remaining assassins.
"Yes!" The two generals accepted the order simultaneously. Although Zhu Xie Chixin's official position may not be higher than theirs, he had a special status and was the emperor's confidant, so he naturally had the right to order them.
At the same time, the two of them looked at Zu An curiously. Wasn't there always only 10 gold medal envoys? When did there be one more?
Zu An also complained secretly, I just came out to make soy sauce, and everything was blamed on me.
But then I thought, it was time to go see if Qiu Honglei had escaped, so I happily accepted the order.
When passing by the Crown Princess, she suddenly said: "Master Eleven, be careful along the way."
Zu An was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but he still cupped his hand and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess."
Then he hurriedly left. Before leaving, he looked back and glanced at the long-haired woman floating in the air. He saw her fluttering clothes, dazzling like the bright moon in the sky, and as insubstantial as the invisible clouds.
Hey, when will I be able to act like this?
But she didn't seem to be flying very high. Thinking about it, there was a large formation in the capital, and practitioners couldn't fly at will. No wonder it was like this. He put away his thoughts and hurriedly sent out the embroidered messenger who followed his bronze medal.
They went to notify the guards at various palace gates.
The embroiderers were stunned: "Don't you need any help around you?"
Zu An waved his hand: "The leader of the thieves is being pestered by Lord Zhu Xie. The other assassins are no match for me. It is better for you to travel together so that you can take care of each other."
He wanted to save Qiu Honglei, so naturally he didn't want anyone following him to get in the way.
The other embroidered cloth messengers didn't know this, but they all admired it. The gold medal messenger was indeed a person with advanced cultivation. Many people had seen his striking style in the East Palace before, and no one questioned this at all.
"Thank you, Master Eleven, for taking care of me!"
After a group of embroidered messengers thanked them, they hurriedly flew towards the various palace gates.
Thinking of the grateful eyes of those people before they left, Zu An almost laughed out loud. It felt so good to have someone count the money for you after you sold them.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and began to look for Qiu Honglei.
He remembered that the long-haired woman had just sent Qiu Honglei and the others to the east, so he subconsciously rushed to the east. He didn't know if he could find Qiu Honglei, or even whether she had left the palace. He could only do everything according to human affairs.
Destiny.
He didn't know how long he had been walking when suddenly there was a sound of fighting not far away. His heart moved and he hurried over following the sound.
Arriving near a rockery, he saw a group of guards besieging several men in black, while the men in black were trying to cover one of their companions from leaving.
"Autumn Red Tears!" Zu An recognized her at a glance. The two had just fought for a long time, so it was not difficult to recognize her even if they were covered with a veil.
He looked at the guards, and suddenly his heart sank, because these were not ordinary guards, they were also surrounded by a golden-armored leader. The leader's armor was similar to that of the right-guard general Guo Zhi and the guerrilla general Zhao Yuan. They were obviously of the same level.
of.
"It should be General Cheng Xiong of the Left Guard." Zu An quickly made a judgment. He is an eighth-level master.
There was already a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and with the addition of Cheng Xiong, an eighth-level master, Qiu Honglei and his party soon became unable to hold on any longer. If they weren't accompanied by the master who had previously fought against the Prince's Young Master in the East Palace, I'm afraid these people would have been unnecessary.
Resisted.
But that demon sect master had obviously just been seriously injured in the East Palace, so he was no match for Cheng Xiong in his prime.
The other companions were captured even more to death. Upon seeing this, the master of the Demon Cult hurriedly picked up Qiu Honglei's shoulders and threw him out: "Quickly go!"
Qiu Hong's beautiful eyes were full of tears, but she also knew that this was not the time to be emotional. She clenched her teeth and tried her best to gather her strength and run out. She couldn't let her companions die in vain. But Cheng Xiong laughed ferociously: "Where to go!
"
He took advantage of the situation and slapped the demon sect master on the chest. The demon sect master suddenly collapsed to the ground. Before he could get up, the swords of the guards around him were already on his neck.
Cheng Xiong did not stop and continued to chase Qiu Honglei in the direction he left. He was confident that he could catch up with the opponent within three breaths. The opponent was only a sixth-grade man, and the gap was too big.
Feeling the strong wind behind her, Qiu Honglei knew that the enemy was approaching quickly, and she couldn't help feeling a little desperate.
There was some resentment in my heart: "That bastard tried his best to protect the Crown Princess, but when something happened to me, I couldn't see him."
Of course, she also knew that this complaint was unreasonable. You must know that after they came out of the East Palace, in order to avoid being caught in one fell swoop, they broke into pieces and ran in all directions. As a result, they were unlucky and happened to bump into the leader of the army.
General Zuo Wei came.
Even she herself didn't know that she would be so unlucky, so how could Zu An know about it? What's more, the palace was so big that the other party wouldn't be able to find her even if they wanted to look for her.
She touched the dagger at her waist, and a look of perseverance flashed across her face. If the others among her companions were caught, they could still pretend to be King Qi's people according to the established plan. Those who participated in the mission this time were all chosen not to be afraid of death.
Elite.
It's a pity that others can be captured, but she cannot. Firstly, she has a special status in the church, and secondly, she is a woman, and a very beautiful woman. If she is captured, she will suffer embarrassing humiliation if she cannot be saved.
So she was determined to die before the attack. Her colleagues in the church were all willing to sacrifice their lives for a great ideal, so how could she be an exception?
The only thing I can't bear to do is not seeing that guy before I die...
At this moment, a flaming sword tens of meters long struck towards her. Her face turned pale. There were indeed many masters in the palace. This time, even if she wanted to die, she might not be able to achieve her wish.
However, what surprised her was that the oncoming flaming sword did not hit her, but instead struck her back from the side, just in time to hit Cheng Xiong who was chasing behind her.
Cheng Xiong was shocked when he saw this. He crossed his arms in front of him. The steel rings on his arms rotated rapidly and made a harsh sound. Then he opened his hands suddenly, and a huge tiger shadow appeared on his body, roaring and rushing towards
Got the flaming sword.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and many of the surrounding rockery trees turned into powder. He waved his hand and shook away the smoke and dust in the sky, but no trace of the assassin could be found anywhere.
At this moment, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly rose in the direction of the East Palace. Even with his cultivation, he could hardly stand and knelt on the ground. He couldn't help but look at the direction of the East Palace with shock on his face:
"The Emperor has taken action? Is there anyone in the world who deserves all his strength?"
