Under the candlelight, the cold light of the dagger reflected in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, and in his ears came Beauty Chu's death announcement squeezed out from between her teeth:
"Hunjun, I will kill you for the sake of all the people in the world!"
After that, he held the dagger and came to kill with a bang.
Jingwei wants to kill me? Fuck, the assassin is actually Jingwei?
Why does Jingwei want to kill me! Isn't she my teammate? She needs to use a dagger to kill me? A fire can burn me into coke, or is she not Jingwei? No, she must be Jingwei, I don't
Maybe a guess.
Turbulent thoughts boiled in Zhang Yuanqing's mind, but now was not the time to think about these things. He made a prompt decision and shouted loudly:
"Here comes someone."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Meiren gave him a powerful roundhouse kick, hitting his jaw with a click, and the jaw was dislocated.
The second half of Zhang Yuanqing's unspoken words turned into a muffled groan. Seeing the dagger coming, he quickly rolled over.
"Attsu!"
The dagger pierced the quilt and was nailed to the bed board.
When the blow missed, Chu Meiren did not immediately pull out the dagger. Instead, she clenched her fist close to her body and punched Hunjun's throat, followed by a set of "Wing Chun Kickboxing" as fast as the wind to attack the chest.
The beating was so severe that Hunjun was nearly suffocated, speechless, and staggered down.
Only then did Chu Meiren go to pull out the dagger nailed to the bed. She knew very well that during the entire assassination process, Hun Jun could not be allowed to shout loudly. Once the guards and eunuchs outside the palace reacted, she would definitely die.
No, don't do it, I'm one of my own. Zhang Yuanqing covered his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He tried his best to call out, but all he heard from his throat was "ho ho".
Her vocal cords were injured by Chu Meiren's punch.
Seeing Beauty Chu coming towards her again with a knife, Zhang Yuanqing glanced around in panic. Then with an idea, he grabbed the wool carpet beside the bed and pulled it hard.
Chu Meiren staggered, her body tilted to one side, she quickly supported the ground with one hand, made a beautiful cartwheel, and landed steadily.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yuanqing, whose vocal cords were injured, rushed towards the palace gate.
As soon as I ran two steps, I felt severe pain in my calf. I immediately fell to the ground. When I looked back, I saw that the dagger was stuck in my calf.
Chu Meiren threw out the dagger and hit the target. She rushed over like a leopard and hit Zhang Yuanqing on the back, almost killing him. Then, two tight and powerful legs wrapped around his neck.
Chu Meiren leaned back, pulled out the dagger from Hunjun's calf, and was about to wipe his neck.
At this moment, the eunuch's shout came from far outside the palace: "Wanmei has arrived~"
Chu Meiren's expression changed, her eyes quickly rotated, and she started thinking.
Wanmei is here, my Wanmei is here. Zhang Yuanqing felt strong joy in his heart, like a person who fell off a cliff and grabbed the vine, like a person who went bankrupt in stock trading and saw the market rising.
"Hunjun, you'd better stop yelling and follow my arrangements." Chu Meiren's voice came from her ears, accompanied by a cold dagger pressed against her throat:
"Go to bed immediately. When Wanmei comes in, you can send her away on the grounds of feeling unwell."
When did Jingwei grow a brain? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked, feeling the cold texture from the dagger, and planned to cooperate with Chu Meiren first.
After all, he can't make a sound now, and he doesn't dare to struggle. It's better to wait for Wanmei to come in and then wait and see what happens.
He nodded immediately and expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Chu Meiren breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Hunjun, and dragged him to the bed as he staggered.
"Cover the quilt, don't move, don't shout, otherwise I will kill you immediately." After threatening, Chu Meiren quickly scanned the scene.
She took off her robe, pulled off Hunjun's coat, and spread them on the bloodstains to cover up the traces.
Then, she lowered the bed curtains, lifted the quilt and got in.
Zhang Yuanqing was lying on his side on the bed, not daring to move, with his head tilted up. Through the window curtains and the curtains outside, he vaguely saw a few figures appearing by the window, walking towards the door.
Chu Meiren was curled up in his arms. Chu Meiren was leaning against him while pressing a cold dagger against his chest.
Why did Jingwei want to assassinate me? Her mission was to assassinate the Hunjun? If this is the case, the restriction of "not revealing any relevant information" given by the copy is simply sinister. Taking advantage of the brief peace, Zhang Yuanqing thought about it.
But it also shows one thing. If he forcibly reveals his identity and solves the crisis in a way that violates the "notes", he will definitely suffer huge backlash in the next step.
After all, costs and benefits are directly proportional.
If there hadn't been this killing spree, the backlash from revealing his identity might not have been so serious.
Fortunately, I was careful during the day and recruited all the suspected teammates to sleep with me, otherwise I might have fallen into the hands of this little girl Jiang Jingwei today.
Well, with Jingwei's strength, it was easy to kill Hunjun, but she chose to use weapons, which shows that her strength is also limited.
She chose to let me cooperate with her in acting, which means that she did not dare to reveal her identity as an assassin. Did she want to assassinate the Hunjun and then sneak out of the palace quietly?
If she is a spy, it means she is not on the same team as me. It is strange. This is a group copy. She and I are both members of the White Tiger Soldiers, so why are we in the enemy camp... Doesn't this make it clear that we should kill each other?
As the thoughts turned, those figures stopped outside the palace door, and only the faint voice of Wanmei was heard:
"You can stay outside. You don't have to follow me in."
The maid outside responded.
"Squeak~"
The tall lattice door was gently pushed open, and a graceful and refined beauty wearing a plain palace skirt walked into the palace with graceful steps, opened the curtain, and came to the inner room.
She looked around, paused for a few seconds on the clothes scattered on the ground, took a deep breath, walked to the bed, and said resentfully:
"Your Majesty, didn't you ask your concubine to sleep with you? Why did you find another sister?"
Zhang Yuanqing felt the knife in his chest push forward. Chu Meiren, who was curled up in his arms, moaned as thinly as a mosquito: "Let her go, or I'll kill you now."
"Wan Meiren, I have hired Chu Meiren to stay with me today. You can go back." Zhang Yuanqing tried his best to make his hoarse voice sound "weak and pitiful", hoping that his smart teammates could judge his state from his tone.
Now I can only take a gamble and bet that Wan Mei is Little Green Tea or Auntie. They are musicians and are very sensitive to "sound" and "tone".
They don't need to know the true identity of the emperor. As long as they hear that the emperor is behind bars and what he did, they will definitely take action.
This kind of little move is just to bully Jiang Jingwei for not being smart. If it were anyone else, he would definitely be noticed.
"It turns out to be Beauty Chu. Hey, Your Majesty, what's wrong with your voice?" asked Wan Mei outside the bed curtain.
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me."
The dagger on the chest moved forward a little.
Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject: "What I mean is that I have not cleared up the remaining poison and hurt my throat."
"Your Majesty, your poison is not gone, so I should not leave. Chu Mei is still young and does not know how to take care of Your Majesty. I want to stay and serve you." The beautiful woman outside the bed curtain begged softly.
Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing to refuse, she took two steps forward and took the initiative to lift the bed curtain.
Well done! Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed.
Seeing that what had happened, Chu Meiren simply lifted the quilt and sat up. She covered the emperor's mouth with her left hand and raised the dagger with her right hand, aiming it at Wan Meiren outside the bed, intending to kill the two of them together.
At the same time, the beautiful woman who opened the bed curtain suddenly took out a dagger and tried to stab her.
The two beauties holding daggers looked at each other and were both stunned.
The air was quiet for a few seconds...
Are you also here to commit an assassination? The two of them looked at each other. Although they did not speak, they both understood the confusion in the other's eyes.
Zhang Yuanqing: "???"
He suddenly realized one thing. Whether it was a Chu beauty or a Wan beauty, they were both. Since they were, how could they agree to sleep with her?
Since I agreed to stay with you, there must be a purpose.
Chu Meiren is here for assassination, Wan Meiren... is the same.
Their mission is to assassinate me! Damn, I underestimated the difficulty of this copy. No, I underestimated the role of the Hun Jun. The enemy of the Southern Dynasty is the Northern Dynasty, but the enemy of the Hun Jun is not only the Northern Dynasty, but also the "loyal and righteous people" of the Southern Dynasty.
.
Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank to the bottom of his heart and he silently shrank to the corner of the bed.
After a brief exchange of glances, the two beauties seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they turned their gazes on the Hunjun with murderous intent on their faces.
At this moment, the eunuch shouted from outside the palace:
"Diva Wang is here~"
The expressions of Chu Meiren and Wanmei Ren changed, and the latter snorted coldly:
"As expected, he is a lustful and foolish king. He found three women to sleep with in one night. It will be an advantage for you to kill him with one knife."
After saying that, Wanmei jumped onto the dragon bed, lowered the bed curtain again, put the knife on Zhang Yuanqing's back, and said sweetly:
"Let her go back."
Jiang Jingwei silently retracted into Hun Jun's arms, holding the dagger against his chest: "Yes, let her get out!"
Believe it or not, she also came to assassinate me... Another unexpected situation occurred, interrupting the rhythm of the two female assassins, but Zhang Yuanqing was not happy at all.
He lay down again and listened as the tall lattice door was pushed open. A plump and tall figure walked in, stopped beside the bed curtain, and said sweetly:
"Your Majesty, I have come to bed with you."
For a moment, Zhang Yuanqing felt two daggers at the front and back gently pushing against him.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Singer Wang who was standing behind the bed curtain, and said in a tone of grief greater than heartbreak:
"Stop acting, you are here to assassinate me too."
Wang Geji was stunned for a moment, and then her demeanor changed drastically. Her watery eyes were as sharp as a knife. She pulled out a short dagger from the snow-white ravine, held it in her hand, and looked around with vigilant eyes.
"No need to look, there is no ambush." Zhang Yuanqing's voice was hoarse: "But there are two of your accomplices on the bed."
When he said this, he had a sense of absurdity that fate was playing tricks on people. The majestic Yuanshi Tianzun had been running copies for many years, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of three yellow-haired girls.
He has already thought about it. If he is really desperate, he will reveal his identity and the backlash will come back. He has to survive first.
"Foolish King, don't play tricks." Wang Geji didn't believe it and held the dagger in a defensive posture.
Chu Meiren and Wan Meiren on the dragon bed looked at each other, took the initiative to lift the quilt and opened the bed curtain.
The two men held Hunjun hostage, one holding a knife to his chest and the other to his neck.
The three women looked at each other, scrutinizing each other, with doubts, guesses, and thinking in their eyes. The three of them assassinated Hun Jun on the same night. Although they didn't know each other's identities, even Jiang Jingwei felt something was wrong.
Wang Geji was silent for a second, then tentatively said:
"Why do you want to assassinate Hun Jun? After assassinating Hun Jun, what are your plans?"
Chu Mei was straightforward: "The foolish king is incompetent and relies on his relatives to bring trouble to the court. Killing him is for the common people in the world. As for his plans after the assassination, I can't tell you."
Wanmei said: "Me too!"
After speaking, she looked thoughtful.
Wang Geji looked at Chu Meiren, then at Wan Meiren, and suddenly showed a joyful smile: "I know, you are. Without further ado, kill Hunjun first, and let's escape from the palace together."
Chu Meiren nodded, exerted force on her wrist, and stabbed a small dagger into Hun Jun's chest.
Just as Zhang Yuanqing was showing off his cards, the flames on the candlestick beside the bed suddenly "crackled" and suddenly three slender fire snakes sprang out, striking into the mouths of the three female assassins like streams of light.
"ah"
Wanmei screamed, the dagger in her hand fell off, and the white and tender tiger's mouth was burned to pieces.
Chu Mei and Wang Geji suffered the same attack, covering their mouths and retreating, looking at the candlestick.
The flames on the candlestick expanded again and turned into a huge fireball. From the fireball, a figure appeared. He was tall, dressed as a eunuch, with restless eyebrows and frosty hair on his temples.
It was Li Changshi.
Zhang Yuanqing was so moved that he said to himself that there was such a loyal person in my palace. If I don't die, I will become his adoptive father.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly. I'll hold them back." Li Changshi pressed Zhang Yuanqing's shoulders and threw him out of the dragon bed. In the process, he exchanged palms with Chu Meiren and Wan Meiren each.
Zhang Yuanqing flew up like a cloud and mist and fell several meters away.
The singer's eyebrows stood upright, she picked up the dagger on the ground with her toes, and pursued her like a leopard.
Li Changshi cut off Song Ji's path with a high kick, buying time for His Majesty to escape.
"Remember, remember to stay alive." Zhang Yuanqing warned, quickly got up, knocked open the lattice door with his body, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "There are assassins, there are assassins, come and save me~"
