At this time, the imperial guards and imperial guards 200 meters away had arrived.
The hundreds of imperial guards who arrived first formed a formation in an instant. The leading guard shouted: "Release the sword!" Then he targeted the black-clothed assassin and fired a hail of swords at the black-clothed assassin.
The Imperial Guards were one step too late to arrive, and their swords were also one step too late. The rain of swords was all in vain, and the black-clothed assassins had already rushed into the darkness, leaving the Imperial Guards and the others a ball of air.
"Chase!" The imperial guards who had just arrived, seeing that the imperial guards had no effect, immediately shot into the darkness and chased the black-clothed assassin.
"Your Majesty, my rescue came late. I beg your Majesty to forgive me!" Generally speaking, the leader of the guard station, the first-rank minister, came very quickly. But at this time when Xuanyuan Xinglie was assassinated, as long as he didn't do it at the beginning.
When Xuanyuan Xinglie was escorting him, no matter what time he came, he would be slow to arrive.
It's morning, I've done business in the afternoon, and it's just time for dinner here. The minister in charge of the bodyguard who came after receiving the news was wearing the usual clothes at home. And because he was in a hurry, the minister in charge of the bodyguard came out of the house and went straight to the palace.
I didn't even come with my boots, so I put on a pair of white stockings and rushed to the palace in one breath.
When he saw Xuanyuan Xinglie's face, which was darker than the bottom of the pot, the minister leading the bodyguard said in his heart: "It's over!", and then immediately knelt down and apologized to Xuanyuan Xinglie.
*****
The air was unusually silent, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Xuanyuan Xinglie didn't say a word, but just because he couldn't say a word, he exuded the anger of a king who had been in a high position for a long time, which made a group of imperial guards and imperial guards kneel on the ground in fear, not daring to raise their heads.
, not even breathing.
The Minister of the Head Guard was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, and his feet without boots were running all the way. Not only did his white stockings turn gray, but the soles of his feet were also in hot pain. The Minister of the Head Guard estimated that there must be something on his feet.
There was gravel inserted and it was already bleeding.
However, at this moment, the minister in charge of the bodyguard had no time to care about his own minor injury. Before kneeling down, he secretly glanced at Xuanyuan Xinglie. Although there were beads of sweat on Xuanyuan Xinglie's forehead and his clothes were messed up, his body was obviously
There were no blood stains, so the dragon's body should have been uninjured. However, even if Xuanyuan Xinglie was not injured, the minister in charge of the bodyguard knew that he would not have a good day today.
The minister in charge of the bodyguard cursed the assassins in black in his heart, hoping that the imperial guards who were chasing him could catch the assassin in black and make him guilty and meritorious service. On the other hand, the minister in charge of the bodyguard broke the dull and almost suffocating feeling.
atmosphere.
"I am guilty, I deserve to die, please forgive me!"
As soon as the minister leading the bodyguard opened his mouth, all the imperial guards and the remaining imperial guards all kowtowed and apologized.
Xuanyuan Xinglie still didn't speak.
As a close confidant of Xuanyuan Xinglie, the minister in charge of the bodyguard felt even colder. Xuanyuan Xinglie was already extremely angry.
In this freezing atmosphere, everyone waited for the imperial guards who had returned from chasing the assassin in black.
The imperial guards quickly knelt on the ground. They did not catch up with the assassin in black. "Your Majesty, the assassin in black is very familiar with the palace. I am waiting..."
With a "clang", Xuanyuan Xinglie threw the long knife in his hand to the ground, and the person who was speaking by the imperial guard immediately shut his mouth.
