When Huangfu Xun and Qin Qifeng heard what she said, they felt relieved. They each picked up their glasses and continued drinking, no longer worrying about Mei Miao's adaptability.
The result of this banquet was unexpectedly Lan Ting's victory.
The people attending the banquet and his friends were shocked.
King Yi, who thought he would not be able to survive the New Year, seemed to have a lot of background, but His Majesty the Emperor, who was previously high-spirited, became tired of coping.
During this meal, many people were not in the mood to eat. Everyone looked at King Yi, who had lost all his previous decadence and was high-spirited, and then looked at King Lan, whose face was ashen and forced to smile.
Whether those who were already standing in line or those who were watching, their eyes began to flicker.
The atmosphere at the banquet seemed lively and lively, but in fact it was very depressing. It felt like the calm before the storm.
Manmiao and Huangfuxun didn't worry too much about this. They ate happily, but Lan Ting had been socializing around and looked very busy.
When returning home in the evening, Manmiao went back with Huangfu Xun. After all, she was the daughter of the Huangfu family. It was impossible for her to go to her cousin's house when her brother was around. It was unjustifiable.
Lan Ting and Huangfu's family are separated by a square mile. After all, one is from the royal family and the other is from aristocratic family. Although there is only one word difference, their identities are worlds apart.
Man Miao lazily leaned against the wall of the carriage. How could Huangfu Xun dare to care about her? He knew that she was very tired recently, so he just let her lie down like this. He really didn't have a bad temper towards this sister. The one who could help her a lot was his big ally. He couldn't blame her.
rise.
During this section of the journey, both of them lost their guard, thinking that it was only twenty minutes, half an hour was up, who could be so blind and dare to cause trouble in the capital?
Unexpectedly, something really happened!
When the screams came, Manmei thought she was dreaming!
Huangfu Xun was a military commander after all, so he reacted very quickly. He immediately pulled Manmiao to lie down on the floor of the carriage. He glanced at the window and picked up the weapons placed in the carriage. "Don't come out. This carriage is safe."
Yes, there is an iron plate inside, so arrows cannot penetrate it."
At the critical moment, Manmei was not pretentious at all. She nodded, reached out and took out the dagger from the secret compartment, holding it tightly in her hand, "The sword has no eyes, you have to be careful."
Huangfuxun nodded, pushed the car door and stepped out. Manmiao imitated Huangfuxun's movements and leaned against the car window to look at the situation outside.
In the capital, Huangfu Xun's bodyguards were strictly restricted. These people ambushed in advance to occupy the advantageous location and launched a surprise attack, which made Huangfu Xun very passive. Many people were killed and injured in a while, and only a few elite personal guards defended.
Behind the carriage.
Huangfu Xun went out to fight for a while. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, he rushed into the car and dragged Man Miao out, "Come out! Let's fight out together."
Manmei grabbed a piece of furniture in the car with her hands to steady herself, refusing to go with him. She smiled and shook her head, "You go ahead, don't worry about me. I'm a drag. The most important thing is that you save your life."
Huangfu Xun was stunned. He never thought that Manmiao would say that. Manmiao took the opportunity to break free and said to him with a smile, "You should leave quickly. If they find out it's me, they might not kill me and will leave me to negotiate terms with you.
You must come to save me then."
Seeing him standing still, Manmei pushed him and urged, "Let's go."
Huangfu Xun was caught off guard and was pushed back by her. He shook his head firmly and said, "I won't leave. If I can't even protect you, a weak woman, and I try to escape, I won't be able to see anyone in the future. Even if I
If I die, it will prove that there is no coward in Huangfu's family, which is better than leaving a woman and running for her life alone!"
Huangfu Xun grabbed Man Miao's hand again, pulled her in front of him, and blocked her with his broad shoulders, "The men of the Huangfu family do not have the tradition of leaving women to run for their lives."
When his personal guards saw their masters coming out, they took cover one after another, using the cover of the houses to resist the attack. After all, they were attacked by a surprise attack, and their manpower was severely damaged. If the Huangfu family had no reinforcements, they would be completely wiped out in a matter of minutes.
Manmiao was held tightly by Huangfu Xun and hugged her chest, for fear that she would be hurt a little bit. Although it was such a critical moment, Manmiao was not afraid at all, and she even felt that she would have no regrets even if she died here.
When Manmei made her decision to let Huangfu Xun leave her behind, it was a wise move after weighing the pros and cons. Her rationality told her that it was the right thing to do, but emotionally, a weak woman had to face a group of vicious men alone.
Who wouldn't be afraid of assassins?
In order to block the stray arrow for her, Huangfu Xun's arm was scratched. Seeing the blood, Mei Miao felt that his arm was getting tighter and tighter. She didn't say anything, she just hugged him tightly and tried not to cause any trouble to him.
Seeing that they were about to be killed in front of them, there were fewer and fewer guards in the Huangfu family. Manmiao and Huangfuxun looked at each other and saw the meaning of farewell in each other's eyes. Manmiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would be like this."
This way of dying, being able to die in the prime of life without having to face the sorrow of a beautiful woman in her old age, is also a good ending."
Huangfu Xun clenched the saber in his hand, lowered his head and glanced at Manmei. With a smile on his lips, he said heroically, "I have not embarrassed the Huangfu family. It is worth it to have a beautiful woman as my companion on the road to hell."
While the two were talking, an assassin rushed over with a knife.
At this time, the guards of Huangfu's family were fighting on their own, and no one was guarding them. Huangfu Xun's right hand was injured, but he still held the knife in his left hand, guarding Manmiao behind him, and prepared to fight.
A sharp arrow flew through the air and knocked down the assassin who rushed to the front. The arrow was very powerful. The assassin was hit by the arrow and his feet were lifted off the ground by the arrow and he fell down.
Then there was a precise rain of arrows, which just separated the Huangfu family and blocked the assassins.
"Reinforcements are coming." Manmiao murmured.
The reinforcements arrived very quickly. It took only ten minutes until they were attacked, maybe even shorter. After all, when people are in danger, time always feels very long.
With the reinforcements, the pressure on the Huangfu family's personal guards was reduced a lot. Those reinforcements didn't say much. They just glanced at Huangfu Xun and Miaomiao Wuwu and charged towards the assassins.
Manmiao looked at her clothes and felt that they looked strange. She didn't look like the person Jiang Shang arranged for her, nor did she belong to the Huangfu family. She frowned and asked, "Isn't this the reinforcement sent by the Huangfu family?"
Huangfu Xun also frowned and looked at the visitor, and said with certainty, "No! Aren't these people brought by the Jiang family?"
Manmei shook her head, "No, they don't look the same. The people Jiang Shang brought are all from Jianghu. These people," she took a closer look and pursed her lips, "felt like soldiers to me.
He doesn’t look like someone from the martial arts sect.”
