Qumuli scattered her carefully dressed hair and pulled out a hair-thin iron wire. It looked like a carefully crafted weapon.
Shen Ruoyan's dancing red silk could also be used as a weapon, and she also hid a soft sword as thin as a cicada's wings in her delicate-looking girdle.
At this point, no one could pretend anymore. The two of them looked at each other and saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.
"Come out. If a fight breaks out, one person will be killed." Qumuli raised an eyebrow.
As for what happens next, it’s up to God.
The two of them walked out shyly, their faces slightly flushed from drinking.
"Your Majesty has rested. I will leave first." The two men whispered.
The eunuch on duty tonight didn't notice anything wrong for a moment.
According to custom, only favored concubines and high-ranking concubines are eligible to stay and sleep with the emperor after they go to bed. Those with higher status and less favored status must go back to their own rooms to sleep.
The eldest eunuch only felt that tonight was too fast and there was little movement.
He waved his hand and ordered, "Send the two girls back."
He led his people carefully into King Beirong's tent to see if there was anyone he needed to serve.
King Beirong was lying on the bed covered with quilt. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with him. He seemed to be sleeping very soundly.
The chief eunuch soon realized something was wrong. It was too quiet and there was no sound of breathing.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" he asked boldly.
Nothing happens.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Still no response, the eunuch stepped forward, put his hand under his nose and tried it, but there was no breath. He also put his fingers on his neck, but there was no beating.
The great eunuch was so shocked that he didn't care about so many things and pushed King Beirong with his hand, and said loudly, "Your Majesty."
The sound was too shrill, and soon the tent was filled with people.
"What's wrong with this?" the imperial guard came in and asked.
The big eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty is dead, catch those two women who just left!"
"They were the only ones in the tent just now. They can't escape His Majesty's death!"
The imperial guards immediately chased him out.
When Shen Ruoyan and Qu Muli heard the noise, they quickly came to the side to take care of the people who were sending them back.
The two of them ran away in different directions in the dark with a tacit understanding without looking back.
Suddenly two types of fireworks of different colors exploded in the sky.
"His Majesty was assassinated, arrest the assassin!"
"There's a fire..."
The entire camp was on fire, with fires breaking out in several directions. With the pursuit of assassins, Beirong was in chaos for a while.
The tribes that were originally the most combative, after receiving the news, did not immediately hunt down the assassins, but immediately started fighting against their own Xiao Jiujiu.
The death of King Beirong is a foregone conclusion, and who is the new king is more important to them.
If one of their own comes to power, it will be the most powerful for them.
At this time, how King Beirong died and who killed him became less important.
In the chaos, the uncle of the third prince, who was leading the troops outside, ordered his men, "Immediately, at all costs, spread the news that King Beirong is dead to the battlefield, and ask the third prince to lead the troops back quickly!"
It was no surprise that the third prince who had the greatest hope of ascending to the throne in the future was the third prince with great military exploits.
It's hard to say now.
"Don't worry, Lord Wolf, my subordinates will bring the message to you as quickly as possible."
Here, Concubine Yun, her father directly brought people here.
Concubine Yun acted so calmly from beginning to end that the leader of the Flying Eagle Tribe laughed outright, "My daughter is indeed very elegant, not inferior to any man."
He had always loved Concubine Yun the most, so he gave Concubine Yun to King Beirong as his concubine. Naturally, he was very ambitious.
Concubine Yun has lived up to his expectations over the years, and her power can rival the queen.
It's a pity that the emperor asked the third prince to lead the troops to attack this time, which was obviously to build momentum for him and also to tell everyone that the third prince was his favorite candidate for the new king.
Concubine Yun has been planning for so many years, so naturally she doesn’t want to lose.
So I chose to take a gamble and cooperate with Yan Chu. Unexpectedly, it really succeeded.
Concubine Yun said calmly, "Although Si'er is prepared, we still need to ask father and brother to immediately bring people back to the imperial city to help him."
The Wolf Lord laughed heartily, "Don't worry, we will win this round, and that position will definitely be ours."
As one of the most powerful tribes, they directly brought people back to the imperial city.
It was difficult for others not to think too much, and the third prince's mother's family was also forced to follow suit.
In the light of the fire, Beirong, whose hearts were already in chaos, gave Shen Xingwan and the others the time and opportunity to escape.
After Shen Xingwan set the fire, he fled along the route he had planned before and soon met someone who came to rescue him.
Qingtang took advantage of the chaos and walked out because she was very favored before. So when people from Beirong met her, they didn't dare to say anything.
In the light of the fire, Qingtang ran with all his strength to the east. That was the edge of the conference, and he could enter the woods after walking past.
The direction she was walking in was obviously wrong, going opposite to where she was staying.
It soon attracted the attention of several guardsmen who were pursuing the assassin.
Bows, arrows and knives were aimed at him, and the leading guard asked sternly, "Why are you running here, little master? It's very dangerous here."
The confidant maid beside him was so frightened that Qingtang said calmly, "The tent I lived in was burned down. After I ran out, I ran in the wrong direction."
Several people obviously didn't believe her words, but due to her previous favor, they didn't dare to do anything to her for a while.
"Please, Master, please come back with us. It's dangerous here and it won't be good if you get accidentally injured." The Imperial Forest Army said forcefully.
Qingtang turned back and glanced ahead.
That was the freedom she had longed for, and she was just a little closer to it. She was really not willing to return here.
Qingtang had a struggling look in his eyes and didn't move for a moment.
The imperial guards became more and more suspicious of her and aimed arrows at her.
The arrow is on the string, ready to go off.
The maid tugged at her sleeves with tears in her eyes, "My lord, let's go back."
Qingtang sighed silently, what a pity.
As long as she runs forward, she can escape from this place she hates.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly a few arrows popped out of the night, and several forest guards were quickly dispatched.
"Who are you?" Qingtang pretended to be calm.
The man in black said, "We are here to pick up the girl on behalf of Coach Lin."
"Coach Lin asked us to tell you that you are free from now on, and this time she did not break her promise."
Qingtang, who had never cried in any pain since she became sensible, suddenly burst into tears.
"Yes, she didn't leave me behind this time and came back to find me." Qingtang whispered.
He was quickly taken away and disappeared into the night.
There was a fight between Shen Ruoyan and those who were chasing him. Fortunately, many people had been arranged to come to the rescue.
After quickly dealing with everyone, everyone went to the agreed place to meet.
In the dark night, everyone stood on a high place. Looking down into the distance, the entire camp was lit up with flames. Several people had changed into clothes and shoes that were more convenient for walking.
"What we have to do now is to escape from Beirong's territory as quickly as possible before they react."
