Chapter 24 Assassination
Pei Yan picked up Xuanying and got into the carriage. Lu An followed closely behind and looked at Xuanying with a worried look on his face.
[Judging from Pei Yan's appearance, Xuanying should be fine if he drinks]
[When Xuanying wakes up tomorrow, the sky will probably have fallen]
[Xuanying’s fur is the most precious to him. He has to be combed by me every morning and evening before he can sleep well.]
Seeing that Lu An was still worried about Xuanying, Pei Yan said, "Don't worry. When we were in the military camp, Mo Yuan often secretly gave Xuanying wine when I was not around."
Lu An asked in confusion: "Why?"
Pei Yan: "Because Xuanying doesn't want anyone to get close to him when he's awake."
Then he looked up at Lu An and said, "Of course you are an exception, but when Xuanying is drunk, anyone can touch her. She will become unusually well-behaved and cute."
[Mo Yuan is just a beast, a beast]
[So Xuanying likes me so much?] I will definitely serve Xuanying twice as well in the future.]
The more Lu An thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He really shouldn't have thrown Xuanying to others just for fun.
[I am not a human either. I am really not a human.]
[I am also a beast]
[I betrayed Xuanying’s trust]
Lu An felt like he had to get up and slap himself twice when he was sleeping, for actually handing Xuan Ying over to such an unreliable person just for fun.
Pei Yan saw that he even scolded himself when he got angry, but fortunately he didn't scold him.
Pei Yan and Lu An took a carriage back to the palace. Halfway through the journey, Pei Yan's eyes swept over Lu An from time to time, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Lu An raised his head and asked in a low voice.
Pei Yan said calmly: "Nothing, I just feel something is wrong."
Lu An was also slightly startled, and whispered: "Did something happen?"
Pei Yan shook his head: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped. There was a noisy sound outside and Eunuch De shouted, "Protect the emperor," and then an arrow flew through the air and shot straight towards the carriage.
"Be careful!" Pei Yan pulled Lu An into his arms. The arrow grazed his shoulder and nailed into the wooden board of the carriage.
Lu An was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said anxiously: "Pei Yan, are you okay?"
Pei Yan said calmly: "Nothing."
He lifted the car curtain and found that the outside was surrounded by a group of men in black. Pei Yan's eyes turned cold, and he whispered, "Stay in the car, don't come out."
Lu An also came back to his senses at this time and nodded: "Your Majesty, be careful."
Pei Yan jumped off the carriage and looked coldly at the man in black in front of him: "Who sent you?"
The man in black sneered, "You dog emperor, today is the day you die!"
Pei Yan said no more and rushed directly into the enemy camp. He was unarmed, his movements were quick and decisive, and each of his strikes accurately hit the enemy's vital points. Although the men in black were numerous, they seemed vulnerable in front of the secret guards and Pei Yan.
Lu An sat in the carriage, listening to the fighting outside, hugging Xuan Ying tightly, his heart full of worry. His fingers were tightly clenched on the corner of his clothes, and his knuckles were slightly white.
Just then, a man in black lifted the car curtain and rushed in. Lu An's heart tightened and he quickly stepped back, but he tripped over the carpet and fell to the ground.
"You... who are you?" Lu An asked tremblingly. As he said this, he did not forget to hide Xuanying behind him.
The assassin sneered at his actions and said, "He's the one who wants you dead!"
He raised the knife in his hand and slashed towards Lu An. Lu An closed his eyes, his heart filled with despair.
[C, I just had two good days]
[It’s over, it’s over. This time it’s really over.]
[Now I have to die even if I don’t want to]
At this critical moment, Pei Yan rushed in, grabbed the assassin's back and threw him out. Pei Yan swung his fist fiercely, hitting the opponent's jaw. The dull sound was so loud that it made people's teeth numb. The assassin hurriedly retreated, but was kicked in the chest by Pei Yan and fell to the ground.
Pei Yan turned around and walked quickly to Lu An, whispering, "Are you okay?"
Lu An opened his eyes and saw Pei Yan's face, and his heart suddenly felt relieved. He trembled and said: "Pei Yan...I..."
Pei Yan picked him up and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lu An relaxed in Pei Yan's arms for a while before coming to his senses and looking at the postures of the two of them.
[Is there something ambiguous between Pei Yan and me?]
[But I’m a straight man]
What if Pei Yan takes it by force? 】
[Should I agree or not? 】
Seeing that Lu An was still daydreaming, Pei Yan knew that he had recovered. Then he let Lu An go.
Lu An still remembered that Pei Yan was injured in order to protect him just now, so he reached out with both hands to strip Pei Yan's clothes. What if the arrow was poisoned? There were no specific medicines in ancient times. If a person got infected by a cold, he or she could die.
Pei Yan was also shocked by Lu An's posture. Is he so proactive? But he is not ready yet? This little eunuch must like him.
Lu An pulled open Pei Yan's clothes and saw that the wound was not black or purple or anything, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was just a scratch, it left a long cut. The ancient weapons were really fatal. Fortunately, Pei Yan dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been stabbed.
Lu An felt relieved, and when he looked up, he saw that Pei Yan's ears were red.
[Did I scare him? Why is he blushing? The ears also turned red. 】
[Is Pei Yan thinking of something wrong?] I'm just worried about his wound.]
[He doesn't think I want to force myself on him, does he? Take his brother while he's sick? 】
When Pei Yan heard Lu An’s inner thoughts, he coughed awkwardly. So that’s not the case? Why am I still a little disappointed?
Lu An felt that he needed to explain, "Your Majesty, I just looked at your wound. The arrow should not be poisonous. I will give you a simple bandage first, and then we will hurry back to the palace to see the imperial physician."
Pei Yan nodded, but there was something more important now. Only the people in front of him knew that he had left the palace, and now an assassin came. Could it be that there were spies around him?
The assassins outside had been subdued by the secret guards, and two of them were left alive. Pei Yan walked out and asked, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
The man in black said: "You dog emperor, you will die a horrible death." After saying this, he was seen trying to bite the poison in his teeth to commit suicide. Long Qi quickly went over and removed his jaw. With a click, the assassin's jaw fell off.
Pei Yan raised his phoenix eyes and said condescendingly: "Since you want to die so much, I can also fulfill your wish." Pei Yan said with a creepy smile, "Lock him up in jail."
Lu An saw Pei Yan smiling with a perverted look on his face.
Is Pei Yan crazy?
[Why are you laughing like a villain?]
Pei Yan? ? ?
Pei Yan touched his face in confusion. Doesn’t he like this face of mine the most?
