Looking at the blue-glowing blade, Yue Fuguang shouted a warning, "Everyone be careful, their swords are poisoned!"

Although she could save the poisoned person, there was also a dying Xie Laosi lying inside. Should she save him or not?

Moreover, she always felt that it was a bit strange that these people would attempt assassination in broad daylight.

"System, they wouldn't be doing this on purpose, would they? Are they trying to injure and poison these people so they can force me to give them the antidote?"

How did these people know she had the antidote?

[Host, you guessed right, we're exposing her!]

[Master, be careful! This is after your antidote!]

"What? Little Pearl, you mean these assassins know I have the antidote to save Xie Laosi? And these assassins are from Nanyue?"

Yes, they somehow found out that you had the antidote for all poisons, and the assassination attempt was Yue Ying's idea to Consort Xin before she died.

They'll take you hostage, or injure the people here, to force you to hand over the antidote.

"These mortals are really courting death!"

Everyone sensed the impatience and murderous intent in the words of the Junior Tutor, and Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince glanced at her hastily.

Her face was frosty. "No one can force me to do what I don't want to do!"

"Lord Yu, be careful!" Just then, Yu Shuchun, who was at the forefront and closest to the gate, was suddenly surrounded by three assassins.

It can be seen that, apart from Yue Fuguang, Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince, the person who attacked the most was Yue Fuguang's second uncle, Yu Shuchun.

Just as someone's knife was about to strike Yu Shuchun's back, Yue Fuguang instantly took out a pistol from his storage ring.

The cool-looking, high-tech interstellar pistol appeared in her hand, and she fired instantly without even aiming.

With a whoosh, a beam of light shot out like lightning.

puff!

The beam of light struck the assassin's hand as he raised his scimitar.

Ah! My hand!

Along with the splattering of blood came the assassin's shrill screams and the stunned silence of his two companions.

Hearing the screams of the person behind him, Yu Shuchun turned around and saw Yue Fuguang holding a gun, and instantly felt relieved.

He didn't care what weapon his niece was holding, as long as it wouldn't hurt him.

Moonlight paused for only a second to confirm that the gun she was holding really had no recoil and the sound was very soft. She quickly overcame her fear of firing a gun for the first time, especially at a living person.

She quickly turned the gun around, and swish, swish, swish, swish! Blood splattered everywhere.

He fired more than a dozen shots, one shot for each assassin, all hitting their legs. The men were in pain and fear, and the moment they were shot, they lost the ability and courage to continue fighting.

Some assassins, defying the odds, tried to use their steel knives as shields against the beam bullets, but the beam easily passed through the blade and continued to damage their bodies with undiminished power.

The remaining dozen or so assassins, who hadn't been shot yet, looked at their bloodied and slightly burnt comrades, and their last bit of will to fight to the death was extinguished.

With great enthusiasm, he threw his weapon far away.

We must resolutely distance ourselves from them!

It's too tragic, absolutely too tragic. They could be stabbed to death with a sword or hacked to death with a knife, but they couldn't bear the silent blows from this unknown weapon. Not dying was worse than being dead.

Faced with the dark, gaping muzzle of Yue Fuguang's gun, these people didn't even have the courage to bite open the poison sac.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Yue Fuguang, whose face was as cold as frost and whose expression was stern, like a god of death. They couldn't help but swallow unconsciously.

They stood rooted to the spot, too afraid to move!

The assassin, writhing on the ground in pain while clutching his leg, was completely unable to rouse the crowd who were stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Ignoring the wailing assassin and the terrified colleagues, Yu Shuchun rushed to Yue Fuguang and asked with concern, "Fuguang, are you alright? Are you tired?"

Are you tired? Putting aside everyone else, even the assassin lying on the ground paused for a moment when he heard this!

Is this human language?

In just over ten breaths, she took down so many of them. How tired could she be?

Yue Fuguang put away her gun and replied, "Second Uncle, I'm fine!" She had originally intended to blow on the muzzle of the gun to show off when she put it away.

But when she saw the people around her staring intently at her, and saw her blowing air into the gun, these country bumpkins couldn't understand her charm, and in the end, she was still a loser!

System: Are you sure it's not because this gun doesn't smell of gunpowder and isn't suitable for showing off?

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Seeing the tense atmosphere around him, he couldn't help but say, "If you lose even a single hair today, your grandfather and father will definitely give your second uncle a double beating when you get back!"

Hearing him say that, Yue Fuguang couldn't help but laugh. "I'll plead for my second uncle then."

Her smile was like ice and snow melting, spring returning to the earth, and those around her couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They still recognized the current Junior Tutor; what happened just now was truly terrifying!

Everyone silently looked at their Emperor, feeling that it was their Emperor's responsibility to uphold the feelings of the Junior Tutor.

"That's great! With Fu Guang around, Second Uncle can definitely avoid this beating."

Yu Shuchun's words were clearly pointed, and everyone present naturally understood the implied meaning.

Xie Zhiyan broke the silence first, saying, "Father, Mother, and my younger siblings are all terrified. Let's leave this place together with the Junior Tutor and all the other officials."

Mingxi nodded and ordered the guard commander who had finally broken through the palace gates, "Put all these people in the imperial prison. Don't let anyone die!"

He turned and glanced at the tightly closed palace gates, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. "Put the Fourth Prince and all the eunuchs and maids in Xinrong Palace into prison."

"Without my order, not a single one is to be released!"

The commander of the guards obeyed the order and left. After all the servants were arrested, the fate of the Fourth Prince and Consort Xin was no longer his concern.

The rule of survival in this palace is to obey orders and never ask questions.

After everyone left Pingnan Palace, the Empress, along with her concubines, princes, and princesses, left looking utterly dejected. It seemed that Physician Sun and his colleagues were going to be extremely busy today.

The emperor, along with a group of ministers, went to his Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After taking a sip of tea, Yue Fuguang asked calmly, "Does Your Majesty have anything you wish to ask me?"

【Master, surely the Emperor won't see how powerful your laser pistol is and try to take it for himself?】

"What's there to be afraid of? He's just a mortal; he can't use it even if he takes it."

Even if ordinary people took it, they couldn't use it? Emperor Mingxi couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

He was both pleased that such a powerful weapon was not something anyone could use, and disappointed that he himself was among those who could use it!

No matter how disappointed Emperor Mingxi was, he quickly composed himself, looked at Yue Fuguang with a loving expression, and asked curiously at the right moment, "Fuguang, I really want to ask you, was that... thing just now a hidden weapon?"

"I feel this is several times more powerful than the repeating crossbow you sent to the Crown Prince!"

Zhou Qi'an, who had already joined the Ministry of Works, produced repeating crossbows and siege crossbows based on the blueprints provided by Yue Fuguang, and their power was indeed quite good.
