He didn't mean "caught up", but "caught up this time".

Others may not care, or may think it is a mistake.

But Miss Jun knew what he meant.

That time when she came to assassinate the emperor, Lu Yunqi didn't know about it and was sent away. When he arrived, she was already dead, and he didn't get to take any credit.

This time, he caught up and blocked her fatal blow.

Eunuchs with swords and spears in hand surged in from all sides. The remaining Qingshan Army staggered to protect her, blocking the bows, crossbows, swords and spears, and also blocking her chance to get close to the emperor.

No chance.

So, still no?

So, does this mean that God will not destroy him?

Miss Jun stood there, feeling very complicated. Was she angry? Was she desperate? Or it was as if everything was blank, with no feeling at all.

"Stop it." Lu Yunqi's voice rang out.

His voice was not hysterical, but the shouting eunuchs heard it and stopped subconsciously.

This made Yuan Bao a little angry.

"What are you doing?" he shouted, "Catch the rebels!"

At the same time, he looked at Lu Yunqi with resentment.

He actually caught up with me.

In order to prevent him from getting involved in this matter, he had tried his best to protect Ning Yunzhao in the imperial mausoleum and persuaded the emperor not to let Lu Yunqi kill Miss Jun.

Of course, he didn't care about Miss Jun's life or death, he only cared about who would kill Miss Jun.

It was obvious that the emperor could no longer tolerate Miss Jun. Anyone who killed Miss Jun at this time would be considered a great achievement in the eyes of the emperor.

Of course he should get the credit.

Just the day before yesterday, the Emperor decided to take action against Miss Jun and get rid of the Queen Mother at the same time. He finally persuaded the Emperor to send Lu Yunqi away and bring himself back to the palace to arrange this matter.

Just when the mission was about to be accomplished, Lu Yunqi arrived unexpectedly.

The emperor looked at Lu Yunqi without any anger.

"Yunqi, you're here!" he blurted out.

The voice was full of joy.

Just now, he was really frightened by the sharp silver hairpin that the woman threw at him, which looked like a dart, and broke out in a cold sweat.

I thought I couldn't escape this time, but unexpectedly Lu Yunqi rushed out and blocked it with an umbrella.

After all, these eunuchs are still not as good as Lu Yunqi. Lu Yunqi is still more reliable.

At least in terms of force and speed of response.

The emperor's undisguised praise made Yuan Bao even angrier, and this anger made him alert again.

Lu Yunqi was ordered by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum. After these days of struggle, he has turned Lu Yunqi's Jinyi Guard into a gate guard.

They hid the truth from Lu Yunqi when they left, so why did Lu Yunqi show up now?

Is this considered a violation of the divine will?

Lu Yunqi's silent appearance frightened these rebels, but He Chang did not let him be afraid.

But at this time he did not have the courage to tell the emperor that Lu Yunqi was going against the emperor's will.

After all, Lu Yunqi, who had just gone against the emperor's will, really saved the emperor's life.

I can only keep it for later use to inform the emperor.

Yuan Bao withdrew his resentful gaze.

"Quick, kill this rebel." He pointed at Miss Jun and shouted again.

After Miss Jun's dart was knocked down, Qingshan Jun also stopped his action and was surrounded by layers of eunuchs.

The eunuchs holding crossbows, who were thrown into disarray by the close-range attack, took the opportunity to reorganize their crossbows and aim them at them.

The palace gate was still tightly closed, but since Lu Yunqi had come in, one could imagine that there must be guards and eunuchs everywhere outside, waiting to rush in at the first command.

It's over.

Li Guorui held the shield in one hand and the long sword in the other, his heart chilled.

In fact, he still doesn't know what he is doing.

What is he doing?

He thought that he was originally a small and insignificant military commander, but as a man who joined the army at the age of fourteen without any family background to rely on, and was promoted to an official by killing enemies with real swords and guns, he was worthy of pride.

Not to mention that he then began his dream-like promotion until today when he stands in the imperial palace as the emperor's personal guard. This will surely become a legendary experience in his life.

But now everything is over. This legendary experience will no longer be recorded. There will only be four short words about Li Guorui's life: he was convicted of treason and was punished.

I wonder if it’s too late for him to point the long sword in his hand at Miss Jun?

Or maybe he would just kill himself with his long sword, which would be much easier and save him from suffering the pain of being tortured.

Even though it was another death by random knife hacking, comparable to Ling Chi, Miss Jun felt that it was nothing to be afraid of.

She was just a little dazed for a moment.

Was everything she experienced a dream or real?

Is she dreaming?

In fact, she had just walked out of the Lu family and rushed to the palace to assassinate the emperor. She was not killed, nor was she reborn.

Miss Jun placed her hands in front of her and looked towards Lu Yunqi. There was neither despair nor fear on her face, only calmness.

The Qingshan soldiers beside her, whether they were injured or healthy, all looked calm.

It was as if he didn't care what he did, nor did he care that he was about to die.

There are gains and losses, successes and failures. This is the way of nature, although it may not be fair.

Lu Yunqi was also looking at her.

His eyes were the familiar deep black, but now they were bottomless, unfathomable and undetectable.

Now, all he needs to do is give the order and everything will be over.

"Kill..." The emperor regained his indifference and spoke with a hint of hatred.

Lu Yunqi turned and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to Miss Jun." He interrupted the emperor.

The emperor frowned slightly.

"What else is there to say?" Yuan Bao shouted from the side, "There's no need for such a traitor to talk, she just needs to die."

Lu Yunqi didn't even look at him, but just looked at the emperor.

"I don't intend to interrogate you." The emperor said coldly.

Lu Yunqi responded yes and turned to look at Miss Jun.

"There's one thing you haven't asked me," he said.

Miss Jun looked at him indifferently.

"I'm very sad." Lu Yunqi continued, "I've been waiting for you to ask."

What?

Yuan Bao couldn't help but be distracted and curious.

He knew that Lu Yunqi had been involved with Miss Jun before, so was he asking Miss Jun if she regretted it? If she had obeyed him, how could she have ended up like this?

Men like this posture.

"What?" Miss Jun asked indifferently.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

"How my father died," he said.

What?

Yuan Bao was stunned.

Didn’t Lu Yunqi’s father die from drinking too much?

Miss Jun looked at Lu Yunqi.

Yes, she had wanted to ask this question, but what was the point of asking it?

"How did my father die?" she asked indifferently.

Lu Yunqi gave her a smile.

"This is how you die." He said, raised his hand to pull off his belt, turned around and put his arms around the emperor's neck.

The emperor's face, still sneering, turned purple in an instant, and he instinctively reached for his neck.

But his strength was like non-existent in front of Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi had already brought him in front of him and was pulling the two ends of the belt steadily with both hands. As he moved, the sound of bones being crushed could be heard in the hall.

"That's how he died." He said it again, his voice dull.
