Li Xiaoyuan was sitting in the Nanshan Teahouse. As long as he turned his head and looked out the window, he could clearly see the four people hanging on the execution ground. In the cold night with wind and snow, Li Xiaoyuan knew how long Li Luo could hold on. He looked at the incense burning in the incense burner beside him, then looked down at the hot tea in his hand, swirled the tea, and said to the chief guard beside him the first sentence he said after sitting in the Nanshan Teahouse: "Go and see if Li Luo is dead."
The chief of the imperial guards responded, "I obey your order," and turned and ran downstairs.
Yu Xiaoxiao took Jiang Zhuojun and Xiao Wei to the roof of Nanshan Tea House. Xiao Wei was used to being carried by his princess, but it was Jiang Zhuojun's first time. Just like a person who gets airsick when flying, the feeling of weightlessness during the ups and downs made Jiang Zhuojun cover his mouth and vomit after his feet stepped on the roof.
Xiao Wei didn't bother to look at General Xiao Jiang. He listened to the movement under his feet and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, are you sure Li Xiaoyuan is in here?"
Yu Xiaoxiao also squatted down and said, "Yes, there are secret guards all around here. The emperor must be in this building."
Xiao Wei was just about to lift the tile to look into the house, but when he heard Yu Xiaoxiao's words, he froze.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked around and whispered to Xiao Wei, "Li Xiao is much more afraid of death than my father."
Xiao Wei stuttered, "W-what do you mean?"
"My father only brings four secret guards with him when he goes shopping on the street," Yu Xiaoxiao counted the secret guards hiding in the dark and said, "There are twelve secret guards here. Are they bullying us because Fengtian is a small country?"
Xiao Wei originally wanted to draw his knife, but unexpectedly, the first action he took was to raise his hand and slap his forehead. Does this have anything to do with the size of the country?
Jiang Zhuojun also squatted down at this time, covering his mouth and asked Yu Xiao: "How are you going to set the fire?"
Xiao Wei said: "There are twelve secret guards here. I think we are surrounded."
Jiang Zhuojun..., the feeling of nausea disappeared miraculously.
Yu Xiaoxiao: "Hehe."
Xiao Wei also laughed.
This time it was Jiang Zhuojun's turn to feel the malice from this ruthless and heartless world. General Jiang stared at the two people in front of him who were laughing at him and said, "Then why did we come up here?" They came to set fire, not to die, right? Well, setting fire is actually to die.
"Who is it?!" someone shouted loudly in the darkness.
Xiao Wei stood up suddenly and drew his knife neatly.
"There's an assassin!"
"Catch the assassin!"
"personal!"
"Don't let them get away—"
…
The chaotic shouts broke the silence of the snowy night.
A dozen dark shadows surrounded the little jade man on the roof.
Jiang Zhuojun also drew his sword and subconsciously protected Yu Xiaoxiao behind him.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Xiaoyuan's secret guards.
"Go!" one of the secret guards spoke.
Yu Xiaoxiao grabbed a tile and lifted it up.
The tiles on the entire roof were lifted up by Yu Xiaoxiao like tearing a piece of paper.
Snow fell on Li Xiaoyuan's face, making him feel cold to the bone.
"Your Majesty!" The guards who were guarding Li Xiaoyuan exclaimed, rushed forward together, surrounded Li Xiaoyuan, and escorted Li Xiaoyuan to go downstairs.
Li Xiaoyuan looked up, only to realize that the tiles above his head had disappeared.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood on a beam, picked up a secret guard who was approaching her and threw him into the house, looking at Li Xiaoyuan with cold eyes.
Xiao Wei landed at the stairs at this time, and he held a sword across his body to block the retreat of Li Xiaoyuan and his group.
"Who are you?" Li Xiaoyuan looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao and asked.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Zhuojun who was standing on another beam: "Do you want to kill him for revenge?"
Jiang Zhuojun, masked with white cloth, also looked at his king with cold eyes. It was this man who ordered his father, brother, and nephew to be beheaded in public. The four young corpses that he had personally sent to the tomb still appeared in his dreams from time to time. How could he not hate this man?
"Xiao Jiang?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.
Snowflakes fell into Jiang Zhuojun's eyes, almost freezing them. But when he looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, there was a little warmth in his beautiful eyes. Jiang Zhuojun whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao, "It's important for us to save people."
"Shoot!"
The people in the house began to shoot arrows at the beams.
Yu Xiaoxiao kicked off the beam she was standing on and smashed the glass bottle in her hand at Li Xiaoyuan's feet.
The heavy and solid beams blocked the flying arrow. After the glass bottle shattered under Li Xiaoyuan's feet, a fire broke out, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol.
The flames burned Li Xiaoyuan's eyes.
"Protect the emperor!" the guards shouted in panic.
Xiao Wei smashed a glass bottle hard on the wooden stairs, and the stairs were immediately engulfed in fire.
Yu Xiaoxiao took Jiang Zhuojun out of the Nanshan Teahouse and looked to the north. The restaurant in the north was already engulfed in flames.
Xiao Wei and the others jumped to Yu Xiaoxiao's side and said, "Princess, shall we go?"
Jiang Zhuojun stared blankly at the fire beneath his feet, his mind going blank again.
Two guards protected Li Xiaoyuan and jumped out of the window.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood on the eaves of the roof and kicked a piece of eaves brick away.
The rocks hit the two guards, and they were knocked to the ground in the snow.
Xiao Wei said, "Li Xiaoyuan won't die, right?"
Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Someone is making a meat cushion for him, so he can't die."
In the last moment before they fell into coma, the two guards still performed their duties faithfully and protected Li Xiaoyuan with their bodies.
Shouts of killing were also heard at the execution ground.
Xiao Wei said: "The Prince Consort has also taken action."
Yu Xiaoxiao said "hmm" and watched several people run up and help Li Xiaoyuan up.
Little Wei Layu looked at Jiang Zhuojun who was still in a daze.
At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao said to Li Xiaoyuan who was standing in the snow: "Li Xiaoyuan, the Eternal Life Temple can give you eternal life, but I can make your life worse than death."
Xiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It was enough that his princess didn't ask your mother to ask you to go home for dinner.
"The assassin is there!" a soldier pointed at the eaves where the little jade man was standing and shouted.
Li Xiaoyuan, who was temporarily unable to see, looked up in the direction of the voice and shouted angrily: "Who are you?!"
Arrows flew towards the eaves like locusts.
The sound of the arrows breaking through the air finally woke up Jiang Zhuojun, who was in a trance. He turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoxiao beside him and said, "Be careful!"
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Jiang Zhuojun up and flew up, kicking the eaves towards the burning building.
The buildings collapsed in the fire and impact without even offering any resistance.
"Your Majesty!" The guards desperately pulled Li Xiaoyuan back quickly.
In the darkness, Li Xiaoyuan heard a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female telling him, I am the one who will make your life a living hell!
"Who?!" Li Xiaoyuan struggled hard to break free from the guards' hands.
Yu Xiaoxiao, who had already gotten close to Li Xiaoyuan, raised her hand and punched Li Xiaoyuan in the face. Not only Jiang Zhuojun remembered the four small corpses, Yu Xiaoxiao also remembered them.
