The scene was very chaotic, with swords and swords flashing and blood soaring into the sky. Even though he was very good at kung fu at the end of the season, it was difficult for him to defeat four people with his fists. In addition, he had to protect Yan Susu, and it didn't take long for him to feel powerless.
Yan Susu knew that she was Ji Mo's burden. If she continued like this, Ji Mo would not only be unable to save her, but even herself would be in danger.
Not wanting to drag Ji Mo down, Yan Susu broke away from Ji Mo's hand when Ji Mo was fighting five masked men and ran towards the small slope on one side.
"Susu, where are you going!" Ji Mo was about to catch up, but he was entangled by five people at the same time. He had no time to separate, so he could only shout anxiously and angrily at Yan Susu's back, "Come back! Danger!"
Yan Susu looked back, gave Ji Mo a grateful smile, and then ran up the slope by herself.
A masked man in black quickly discovered her escape and chased after her with a shining silver sword. Yan Susu knew that she couldn't outrun him, but she didn't make any decision.
Looking left and right, she soon discovered a trail on the left, winding up to a green hill, and a steep slope on the right. At the bottom of the slope was a large river with rolling waves and rapid water.
Seeing that the man was about to chase him, Yan Susu gritted her teeth and ran up the steep slope. The slope was very steep. If she was not careful, she might fall down. There were rocks and grass on the slope. If she really rolled, she would fall down.
If you fall, you will definitely die.
Yan Susu could only try to master her balance, running down hard while trying to lean back as much as possible to prevent herself from falling over.
The assassin who was chasing behind him was very skilled in kung fu. When he saw Yan Susu running down the slope, he tapped his feet lightly and used Qing Kung Fu to lift his sword and pounce towards her.
Yan Susu is simply not a real lady. Her body is not weak, her running speed is not slow, and her mental quality is extremely strong. She can still remain calm in such a critical moment, and her legs do not become weak.
That's why he didn't let the other party catch up for a while.
Running down the steep slope, Yan Susu rushed to the river without stopping. Just when the assassin's sword was only a finger away from the back of her neck, she desperately jumped into the rushing river.
The petite body was quickly washed away along the river, and only a few strands of black hair were seen floating on the river.
"Damn it, I'll freeze you to death!" the assassin said rudely. He was as tall and strong as an ox and was a little annoyed because he couldn't kill Yan Susu.
Behind him, a masked man came over. When he saw him, he knelt down with a sword in both hands and said urgently: "Master, the old woman is not here. We have fallen into the trap of an empty city. A large group of people are coming to kill us. What should we do?"
The masked man took off the veil on his face, revealing a rough face, with facial features as hard and strong as a rock, a beard that covered his entire chin, and a chilling violence in his eyes.
As soon as he heard that the Queen Mother had run away, he suddenly squeezed the black cloth in his hand together and smashed it to the ground angrily: "Damn it, the damn old woman dared to play tricks on me. She thought she was hiding in the palace all her life. I
Is there nothing we can do to her? Damn it, I will cut her into pieces, send out signal flares, and retreat."
A roar like a lion sounded by the river, deafening and deafening.
——
Beijing, Ciqing Palace, the Queen Mother's Residence.
The Queen Mother sat safely on the chair, took a sip of tea, looked at the eunuch who came to report, and asked: "Sure enough, there are assassins ambushing you, right?"
"Yes, almost all the advancing troops were wiped out. Concubine Liu and others were all killed. The lives and deaths of the rest are still being counted one by one. Five assassins were captured alive, but they all had sheepskin sachets under their tongues.
As soon as he was arrested, he bit open the skin and swallowed the medicine to kill himself." The eunuch responded respectfully.
"These bastards look like dead warriors. It's a pity that child, I don't know if she's bad or good."
The child the Queen Mother was referring to was Yan Susu. Before setting off last night, everyone had already boarded the carriage. She suddenly received a reliable tip that someone was ambushing and assassinating her on the road.
At the moment she wanted to cancel the trip, but then she thought about it and ordered the carriage to set off as usual, pretending not to know anything and traveling at a normal speed. This was just to throw out bait and fish out the mastermind of the assassination.
Naturally, she would not take risks herself, so not long after the carriage left the city, she escaped from the shell and returned to the palace, escorted by a small group of guards in royal robes, while the convoy to Xiling was still huge.
As we were walking, we must not have noticed anything strange.
The entire team, including Yan Susu, Ji Mo, Liu Fei and more than 50 people, are all bait.
As soon as the snake was lured out of the cave and the people placed in the convoy sent out a secret signal, the Queen Mother's Royal Guards Brigade, which had been arranged long ago, rushed eight hundred miles away to capture the assassin alive.
Her moves in the chess game were perfect. Not only was she unscathed, she was also able to capture the assassin, find out the mastermind, and eliminate a major problem.
What she didn't expect was that those assassins were well-trained. Once caught, they would bite the medicine pouch under their tongue and commit suicide.
The eunuch who responded thought that the queen mother was talking about the end of the season, so he hurriedly replied: "Ji Guiren is fine."
"The Ai family is not talking about her, but..."
"Where is the Queen Mother, Su Su? Just now Dian Lin came to report that someone assassinated the Queen Mother on the road. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was not on the carriage and was still in the palace, so she escaped. Queen Mother, how could you be in the palace again, where is Su Su?"
where is she?"
Just before going to court, I heard the report from Dian Lin, the chief of the imperial army, that Yuan Minrui had only gone to court halfway, and hurried to Ciqing Palace in court clothes, feeling uneasy and worried.
As soon as he came in, he couldn't wait to ask. His narrow eyes were looking around, as if he was searching for something.
The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor would definitely come and ask about this matter, but she did not expect that the Emperor would only ask Yan Susu in one sentence.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned ugly: "Your Majesty, don't you want to care about your mother? Do you only know that woman?" The Queen Mother already knew that Yuan Minrui liked Yan Susu, so she specifically asked Yan Susu if she liked her.
I like Yuan Min Rui.
Judging from Yan Susu's answer, Yuan Minrui is simply being sentimental. The Queen Mother doesn't like her two sons hanging around the same woman, not to mention that the woman doesn't like the two brothers at all, and they are passionate about her.
How rude is it to have a cold ass?
Although she admired Yan Susu's courage, at this moment, the Queen Mother hoped that Yan Susu would die cleanly, so that her two sons would not be obsessed with her.
Yuan Minrui knew that he might have lost his composure, so he quickly calmed down and greeted the Queen Mother: "When did the Queen Mother return to the palace? Were you scared?"
"Shortly after setting off last night, the Ai family got out of the car because they received a secret report that there was an ambush on the road." The Queen Mother said in a calm tone, because she was not personally involved in the tragic situation at that time, so she spoke casually as if it was nothing to do with her.
"The Queen Mother didn't come to tell me, but she still let the convoy set off as usual. Queen Mother, are you—could it be that you deliberately asked Susu and the others to serve as bait?"
Yuan Minrui knew that the Queen Mother was cruel and always did everything based on her own preferences. For example, if she didn't like the color pink, no one in the palace was allowed to wear pink clothes and accessories. If anyone dared to disobey, he would be killed or injured.
He thought twice before sending Yan Susu to the Queen Mother. He originally thought that Yan Susu was a matchmaker and a woman engaged to Xiang, so the Queen Mother would not make things too difficult for her. Unexpectedly, she actually arranged for Susu to be used as a bait.
Die.
Slowly, a surge of anger began to accumulate in Yuan Minrui's chest, and the Queen Mother's tone became a little stiff and cold.
The Queen Mother did not take it seriously, completely treating the fifty or so lives as nothing, and said lightly: "I don't discuss it with you because I know that you are soft-hearted. After knowing that there is an ambush and assassination, you will definitely recall the convoy. As for Yan Susu, the Ai family also feels that
It's a pity that the Ai family likes her quite a lot, and the list of immortals hasn't been released yet, so maybe she can survive."
"She has no power to restrain a chicken, and she is bound to be in danger. Queen Mother, if something happens to Yan Susu this time, I will never forgive you in this life!" This is probably the first time Yuan Minrui has said to the Queen Mother since she was a child.
Such disrespectful words.
The Queen Mother was a little dazed, and it wasn't until she saw Yuan Minrui flinging her sleeves and leaving that she realized what she was doing. She became furious, violently slapped the golden lacquered Luanfeng wooden chair, and yelled at Yuan Minrui's back: "
Your Majesty, stop for the Ai family!"
Yuan Minrui stopped, but only for a moment, and took up his steps again, angrily walking away without stopping for a moment.
The Queen Mother was very angry. Although she had good looks and looked like a young woman, she was old after all. In her anger, she felt dizzy and short of breath. She staggered a step and fell heavily into the chair.
Aunt Gui, who was waiting on the side, saw this and hurriedly came up to help: "My dearest lady, please take care of yourself!"
"You are a traitor, you are a traitor!" The Queen Mother stroked her chest as if she was in pain. Aunt Gui rubbed her back and comforted her. Only then did she catch her breath, but she started to hate Yan Susu. "
What on earth is that little girl capable of? This is the first time in so many years that the emperor has disobeyed the Ai family and is in trouble with the Ai family. Aunt Gui, do you think that little girl is a witch?"
