Chapter 563 Night Attack
Yun Qingqing sat in front of the desk for a long time, the ink on the tip of her pen was almost dry. Finally, she thought of an idea. Her eyes brightened slightly and she started writing immediately.
But just after writing one word, she suddenly paused, tilted her head and listened for a moment, then put down her pen, stood up and walked towards the door.
After opening the door, the sounds of fighting outside became clearer and were approaching this side.
Yun Qingqing's face turned grim, and she jumped onto the roof to observe the source of the fighting sounds, but she soon discovered that there were more than one place in the palace being invaded by men in black, and there were hundreds of invaders!
The Regent's Palace consisted of only a hundred or so guards and household servants. Faced with an assassination force that outnumbered them by several times their number, they were defeated and suffered increasing casualties.
While Yun Qingqing was observing the situation, a team of assassins rushed into the yard. Seeing her on the roof, they attacked her without saying a word.
"Protect the princess!"
Several secret guards chased after him and were shocked at what they saw, but they were entangled by the assassin and could not get away.
The assassin in front heard the secret guard's call, his movements suddenly paused, and then he sneered:
"Found it! The Regent Princess is here! Brothers, quickly capture her!"
Following a few shouts, the man in the front blew a sharp whistle, and in a moment all the assassins in the palace came over here!
Even though the palace's secret guards were all very skilled, they were overwhelmed by the large number of assassins. They saw the first batch of dozens of assassins rushing towards Yun Qingqing!
"Princess, be careful!"
The secret guards nearby shouted urgently, and there were more casualties in front of them.
Yun Qingqing's eyes turned fierce with murderous intent in them. She snatched the knife from the assassin who rushed to her first, and slashed it with her backhand. The assassin's head fell to the ground before he could even make a sound.
Yun Qingqing didn't pause at all, her figure turned into lightning. The assassins in the yard couldn't see her movements at all and fell down one after another.
In an instant, dozens of the first batch of assassins were killed and blood flowed like a river.
Yun Qingqing was filled with murderous aura, with blood dripping from the tip of the knife in his hand, but there was not a single spot of blood on his body. He stood solemnly in the courtyard, like a god of death, making people feel cold.
Several secret guards heaved a sigh of relief and quickly gathered around her, listening vigilantly to the chaotic footsteps getting closer.
There were hundreds of assassins who attacked at night, and the hundred or so people in the palace could not stop them at all.
Yun Qingqing knew clearly from the behavior of those assassins just now that these people were clearly coming for her!
"Princess, there are too many assassins. Let us escort you away first!" a secret guard whispered.
It was he who just shouted "protect the princess", but he didn't expect that the other party's target was the princess, and instead exposed her whereabouts.
The secret guard felt guilty and just wanted to quickly escort the princess to a safe place.
Yun Qingqing threw the knife to the ground and sneered:
"Tell them to come over!"
The dark guard took a breath:
"princess……"
Yun Qingqing interrupted coldly:
"If I let anyone escape today, I lose!"
As they were talking, assassins appeared from all directions, including the gate and the top wall.
Yun Qingqing stomped her foot suddenly, and a golden light spread out from under her feet like ripples, instantly affecting the entire palace.
Wherever the ripples passed, the assassins suddenly froze and fell to the ground one after another. The sound of weapons falling to the ground could be heard everywhere, accompanied by groans.
The assassins looked terrified and struggled to get up, but their bodies seemed to be pressed to the ground as if they were carrying a thousand-pound burden and they could not move!
The situation reversed in an instant. The palace guards arrived and began to clean up the aftermath, tying up the assassins who had lost their ability to resist.
Nan Zheng followed Xiao Changheng to the northern border. Yu Dong, the deputy commander of the palace guards, quickly came to Yun Qingqing, knelt down in shock and was about to apologize.
Before he could speak, Yun Qingqing said:
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, and arrest all the assassins and interrogate them strictly!"
"Yes, sir!" Yu Dong was startled and did as he was told.
There were a large number of assassins. Even though the guards of the Regent's Palace were all brave and killed nearly half of them with a small number of enemies, there were still two or three hundred assassins left. It took a lot of effort to tie them all up.
Yun Qingqing frowned and looked for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Where is Commander Zhao?"
She looked for a long time and only saw Deputy Commander Yu in command, while Zhao Qian, the actual commander, was nowhere to be seen.
Yu Dong's depressed expression became worse due to the attack late at night. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"Commander Zhao was ambushed by these damn assassins and has... died."
Yun Qingqing frowned and was silent for a moment:
"Put the assassin aside for now. Take your men and bring all the people who were killed in the mansion to my courtyard!"
"This..." Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "But if these assassins are not tied up earlier, I'm afraid they will..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Qingqing stomped her feet expressionlessly.
Then a series of muffled groans came one after another, and the assassins lying on the ground seemed to be hit on the head by a club, and all of them rolled their eyes and fainted.
Yu Dong was refreshed and immediately responded:
"Your Highness is so majestic! I will do it right away!"
Yun Qingqing watched him immediately get busy, slowly exhaled, secretly put away the Wanjun Bureau of Qimen Dunjia, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand.
This Wanjun Bureau is an offensive bureau. Unlike the Wenxin Bureau, the more powerful the attack is released, the greater the consumption on the planner.
There were a large number of assassins, so at the beginning Yun Qingqing just subdued them all and waited for the palace guards to tie them up. During this period, she maintained the suppression with the lowest spiritual power consumption.
It was not until later that they discovered that there were dozens of casualties in the mansion, even the commander of the palace guards was killed, and seeing that they could not wait any longer, that Yun Qingqing launched the second attack, causing them all to faint.
Yu Dong quickly led people to carry the dead in the mansion into the courtyard.
Yun Qingqing's face was gloomy. Those who were killed included palace guards, secret guards, servants, maids and old women in the mansion.
It's extremely cruel.
She took out a small black mirror with a cold face.
But before she could send the message, there was a sudden darkness in the corner, a familiar bell rang, the temperature in the courtyard dropped suddenly, and many guards shivered subconsciously.
Yun Qingqing paused and looked towards the dark road that suddenly appeared in the corner.
Sure enough, they saw the black and white duo walking towards them from the underworld road. Bai Wuchang still had that same squinting smile on his face as he had for thousands of years. He bowed and was about to speak.
Several secret guards around her suddenly tensed up, stopped in front of her and said sternly:
"Who is it?"
"It's okay, everyone retreat!" Yun Qingqing spoke, and the secret guards retreated, still staring at the Black and White Impermanence.
The palace guards were also nervous, especially after seeing the two men's attire, their faces became filled with fear and alertness.
Yun Qingqing knew that it was because there were too many casualties here, and the negative energy and resentment were too great, so even these people could see the ghost.
I thought to myself, this ghost is so active, could it be that he can’t wait to take the soul to the underworld?
But she had no intention of letting these people in her house die in vain.
Yun Qingqing looked at the Black and White Impermanence and said:
"You two, I'm sorry that I cannot let you take away the souls of these people in the mansion, because their life span should not end today."
