Chapter 314: Blocking the Knife
The people in the house took it for granted.
Chang Tingyi was thinking about another question. There were many people like this young man who fell from the sky into dust, and they were all at the hands of the prince.
Assassins from the Taiji Palace kept coming in succession, and I don’t know how many of them were heading for the East Palace.
While thinking about this, Bei Jingchu happened to encounter a wave of assassinations over there.
Under layers of defense, no assassin has ever been able to get close to her in the seven years since she was established.
This time, a palace maid who was delivering food was replaced, the lunch box was opened, and the hot dish that was supposed to be served turned into a dagger.
With a cry of surprise, the dining hall fell into chaos.
The assassin approached Bei Jingchu's face at a rapid speed.
Haoyue was about to step forward to stop them, but was pushed back.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Bei Jingchu was held tightly in his arms, and the scent of orchids filled her nose.
It should have been a critical moment, but the common plot of palace fighting in novels flashed through her mind.
The hero was stabbed and the heroine blocked the attack.
The hero discovered that there was a woman who loved him so much that she was willing to sacrifice her life for him.
Looking at the heroine whose life is hanging by a thread, it seems like she is about to lose the treasure she has found with great difficulty.
The heroine recuperates while the hero feeds her medicine, and their relationship heats up rapidly.
She couldn't help but dig her toes into the ground and wanted to scream.
Who is so fierce! He came up and hugged me, affecting my performance, you know?
The body was encircled, but the hands were still exposed.
The assassin was approaching at a very fast speed with a dagger in his hand, and the blade was stabbing straight into the body of the ferocious guard.
Bei Jingchu threw out a chopstick, stabbed her wrist, and knocked the dagger off her.
The sound of metal hitting the ground and the assassin's screams reached my ears.
At the same time, a bloody hole appeared on the assassin's wrist.
There was still one chopstick left in her hand, so Bei Jingchu threw it away.
The assassin's left hand was also nailed to the ground.
Symmetrical!
Perfect!
This moment is good news for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Jiang Longshou waited for a long time, but instead of feeling the pain of sorrow piercing his flesh, he only felt a finger tapping the back of his head.
"Brother, can you let me go?"
He quickly let go, still in a daze.
The situation changed so quickly.
The assassin was pinned to the ground, and the guards removed her jaw as per procedure to prevent her from committing suicide by taking poison.
The movements are smooth and flowing, and the skill is so impressive that it makes people's heart aching. It is obvious that she is very experienced.
He checked his mouth and took out the poison.
With a click, the chin was pressed back.
Perhaps there was no one behind him, and this time the assassin was not determined not to reveal the truth.
Instead, he was filled with hatred and cursed viciously: "Bei Jingchu! You will be punished."
"I have sneaked in today, and sooner or later someone else will sneak in as well."
"You will be a corpse without bones...ah!"
The jaw was removed again.
The assassin who was reinstated finally learned how to speak properly. Although his tone was still aggressive, at least he didn't dare to make personal attacks anymore.
"You can conquer the land of Tuning, but you can't conquer the people of Tuning!"
It turned out to be the remnants of Tu Ning's fallen nation.
Bei Jingchu corrected her: "What Tu Ning? That's Ningzhou in Dayue."
She was obviously provoked and became even angrier. "One day, as long as there is one person left in Tunning, we will cut off your head and sacrifice it to our Khan... Ugh!"
This time his mouth was blocked and he was taken away for interrogation during the struggle.
Next...
Bei Jingchu went to look at the reckless boy standing upright beside her.
Although it is really fierce, it is also very bloody.
However, it would be wrong not to reward him for his loyalty to his master.
"Jiang Longshou?"
"I am here."
"Your loyalty is commendable. From today on, you will be appointed as the commander of the Left Guard."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Although she was annoyed at being delayed for her meal, Bei Jingchu had a new discovery about this assassination attempt.
She couldn't help but share her joy: "She's even talking nonsense now."
Haoyue, who hadn't recovered from the shock yet, was stunned: "What?"
Bei Jingchu repeated: "She's always talking nonsense."
"I remember Nian'er said that when interrogating assassins a few years ago, it was difficult to interrogate foreigners."
"Because they don't understand Dai Viet's language."
"As a result, today's assassins all speak beyond their words."
"Do you know what this means?"
Haoyue pursed her lips, trying not to utter a single word of such rebelliousness.
How would she know?
Fortunately, Bei Jingchu was not testing her.
She raised her chin with pride and said, "The first thing I did after conquering Tunning was to unify the official language and system."
"Just keep at it for ten or twenty years."
“Only when culture and faith begin to merge can we truly become a country.”
“It is really gratifying that it has achieved results.”
On the other hand, the guards were very jealous of their friend's promotion.
However, facing Long Shou who was packing up his things, he had a question: "With your distance at that time, you could have taken down the assassin directly, why did you block the knife?"
"If it really gets stabbed in the body, it may not save your life."
Long Shou paused as he was packing up his clothes. Isn’t this... a self-torture tactic?
