"Want to kill me? Just you?" Tian An stood on the tall building wantonly, looking at Jiang Wanmeng who was like a clown below.
"What are you still standing there for? Come at me! Kill her, kill her..."
Seeing Tian An's calm and composed look, Jiang Wanmeng almost went crazy. God knows what kind of life she had been living in Huiguo Temple these days.
Why, why should I suffer in that place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, while Tian An, a lowly country girl, can enjoy a luxurious life in this Duke's mansion.
All of this should have been hers, it should have been hers.
"Kill her, kill them, kill them all..." Jiang Wanmeng pointed at Tongxinyuan while trembling hysterically.
Looking at Jiang Wanmeng who seemed to be possessed, Tian An frowned and muttered softly, "Is this person crazy?"
While Jiang Wanmeng was thinking, the person behind her had already rushed into Tongxin Courtyard and was entangled in a fight with the secret guards. She didn't know where she found this person, but he was surprisingly quite skilled and made it impossible for the secret guards to escape for a while.
Seeing that the secret guards were entangled, Jiang Wanmeng showed excitement and was about to enter the yard. It seemed that she wanted to take advantage of the situation and do something with her own hands.
Tian An raised his hand and shot another arrow, which still hit her toes.
Jiang Wanmeng was stunned. After a panic, she saw that Tian An did not kill her. She thought she did not dare to kill her, so she proudly took a step to the side and planned to go around the arrow before going in.
But Tian An was like a cat playing with a mouse. He didn't kill it right away, but just teased her.
Whenever she took a step to the side, the short arrow would stop at her toes in the next second, blocking her forward movement, until the short arrow formed a circle and surrounded her completely.
"you……"
She could no longer bear it and was about to look up and curse at Tian An, but the next second a thin needle not much bigger than an embroidery needle was inserted straight into her arm. Jiang Wanmeng's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Seeing her fall straight to the ground with a thud because no one was holding her up, Tian An hissed and curled his lips, "It hurts just looking at it."
But she deserved it. She was so tactless. Didn't she know she was still in confinement? How could she yell at her?
At this time, all the people brought by Jiang Wanmeng were captured by the secret guards. Tian An waved his hand and had them tied up, gagged, and tied directly to the big tree in Tongxin Courtyard.
They're still busy now! Who has the manpower to go to the woodshed to watch over these people? It's better to keep them under your eyes so that they don't have to worry about them.
Jiang Wanmeng probably never dreamed that she would eventually enter Tongxinyuan in this way!
When I looked outside the yard again, the bandits were either dead or surrendered, and the war was nearing its end.
Turning his gaze towards the direction of the palace, a hint of worry appeared on Tian An's face under the mask.
The palace was brightly lit. After red Lycoris radiata fireworks bloomed in the night sky, the dancer who was dancing in the center of the hall suddenly drew a hidden soft sword from her waist and stabbed at the emperor.
At the same time, many eunuchs and palace maids dropped the teacups and bowls in their hands, took out the weapons they had prepared in advance and surrounded the emperor and empress.
The hall was instantly in chaos, and the concubines in the harem and the ladies who came to the banquet screamed in fear.
The ministers all changed their expressions, and the civil officials were so frightened that they stood there in a daze. Only the military generals reacted very quickly. While shouting "Protect the emperor", they rushed towards the emperor and tried their best to resist the assassins.
Several families who had received the news in advance also reacted quickly. The couple looked at each other quickly, and the wife took the children to find a place to hide, while the husband tried to find a way to protect him.
Looking around, only King Wenxuan was still sitting calmly and steadily in his seat. He was even holding an exquisite wine glass and chopsticks, tasting the delicious delicacies on the plate with a smile on his face, as if he was blind to the chaos in front of him and was just an outsider who had strayed in.
Although Zhao Yiming, who was sitting next to him, looked relatively calm, he was in extreme torment in his heart. On the one hand, he had to keep an eye on and be on guard against Prince Wenxuan beside him, and on the other hand, he was worried about the safety of the emperor and empress, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by assassins.
"Isn't Mingyu going to rescue me?" Just as he was thinking about it, he saw King Wenxuan put down his wine glass and chopsticks and looked at him.
Zhao Yiming turned around and bowed to him, saying something against his will, "The emperor's uncle has a lot of people on his side, but the eighth uncle is alone, and the assassin is brutal. Mingyu should protect the eighth uncle first."
Prince Wenxuan's smile remained undimmed. He was only slightly startled before his smile widened. "Mingyu is indeed worthy of being my good nephew. He truly values love."
After saying that! He stood up, straightened his robes leisurely, and walked towards the emperor and empress, "Let's go! Let's go and rescue the emperor."
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming immediately stood up with caution and became extremely alert.
The emperor also noticed the situation here. Although he didn't show it on his face, he subconsciously held the queen's hand a little tighter.
Even the prince, Xiao Chen and others beside him became more nervous. They took the knife snatched from the assassin in their hands and took a step forward, full of defense.
The queen was held by the emperor with one hand, and with the other hand she was holding Gu Jinyan tightly, protecting her behind her.
Although she was scared and her body couldn't help shaking, Gu Jinyan still suppressed her fear, pulled out a hairpin from her head and held it tightly in her hand, ready to be on guard at all times.
King Wenxuan saw everyone's behavior and curled the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
But he said to the emperor in a hypocritical manner: "Is your Majesty injured? I am late in protecting you, please forgive me."
The emperor couldn't understand why he was still putting on an act at this point. Just as he was about to continue acting with him, he heard the sound of fireworks exploding again in the night sky outside the hall.
King Wenxuan turned his head to look outside the palace, and when he looked back again, his whole impression changed instantly.
His originally elegant temperament and smile disappeared without a trace, and his eyes were full of sharpness, viciousness, and hatred, as if he had become a different person.
There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips. "Royal brother, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to still be so... hypocritical!"
The confused officials were stunned for a moment when they heard King Wenxuan say this, and subconsciously thought it was a slip of the tongue. However, it was obvious that his expression did not seem to be joking, and he did not have any intention of correcting himself. Considering what was happening now, they finally realized it belatedly.
"How dare you, Prince Wenxuan, commit treason? What crime should you be punished for?" An old minister who was over fifty years old slammed the table in anger and pointed at him with a trembling finger.
King Wenxuan turned his head to look at him, and said sarcastically, "Treason? What's the punishment? This is just the beginning."
Looking at the old minister's body that was barely standing, he frowned and pretended to be worried, "Mr. Wang, please relax and take care of yourself!
Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it later. It would be bad if you died of anger on such a beautiful day."
"you……"
