The two secret guards following Xian Shijun were already extremely anxious. They were better than their opponents in terms of martial arts, but these people's methods were despicable and they used this thunder bomb to attack them twice.
One of the secret guards was seriously injured because of protecting Xian Shijun. Now he is at the end of his strength. He is still standing with his strongest will, so they sent out a signal for help.
This time they still did not hesitate at all and rushed directly towards Xian Shijun, trying to use their flesh and blood to withstand the power of the thunder bomb.
Xian Shijun's face also darkened. He knew that after the other party found out that the Third Princess was not in their group, he had become hysterical and vowed to take his life, so he tried his best to protect himself and did not rely blindly on the guards.
But even so, their group was still losing people rapidly. This was the third thing called a thunder bomb that the other side had thrown at them.
The two secret guards cooperated very well. The uninjured one rushed forward, and the seriously injured one rushed to her companions, trying her best to protect her companions. She knew that she would die this time, but she wanted her death to be worthwhile.
The expected explosion sounded, but no pain was felt. The secret guard thought she had lost consciousness, but the next moment someone grabbed her arms and pulled her up.
She sensed something was wrong and was about to fight back with a flick of her wrist, but a familiar voice came to her ears:
"Feng Qi, you are safe now, leave the rest to us."
The secret guard named Feng Qi then looked up and saw the familiar eyes of the boss. He was sure that reinforcements had arrived, and after being completely relieved, he fainted.
The secret guard who was pinned down by Feng Qi also climbed up at this time. After helping Xian Shijun up, he reported to Feng Shou:
"Chief, Feng Qi has used his body to block a thunderbolt bomb and is now at the end of his strength. I am afraid that I can't protect you alone, so I sounded the distress signal."
"No problem! You've done a great job, leave the rest to us."
Feng Shou knew his men well, and they would not easily ask for help unless they had no other choice.
This was because Fengshou had used a dart to deflect the thunder bomb at the critical moment, so it did not hit Xian Shijun and the others, but instead made the other side taste the taste of his own thunder bomb.
While these people were dizzy, the other secret guards who arrived a step slower pounced on them like a tiger descending from a mountain and took them all down in just a few rounds.
Seeing that the situation was not good and knowing that the mission had completely failed, the masked assassin immediately bit the poison hidden in his teeth and committed suicide.
The assassins were dead, but there were others. They were knocked to the ground, and before they could take poison, they were directly hit in the jaw by the experienced secret guards.
Looking at the only five remaining people, Fengshou waved her hand and asked someone to take them away. She personally escorted Xian Shijun back to Zhuo Xiuyuan overnight.
Lianyi was already waiting in Xian Shijun's courtyard, and all the servants in the courtyard were on their toes.
It was not until the second half of the night that a noise was heard. A group of men in black escorted the somewhat embarrassed Xian Shijun back to the courtyard.
When Xian Shijun saw Lianyi, the anger in his heart finally eased. He staggered a little and was supported by Lianyi.
"But you're injured?"
"No, thanks to the Queen, the rescuers came in time and I was not injured. It's just that the Third Princess did not come back with me."
Xian Shijun was afraid that Lianyi would be anxious, so he explained it immediately.
"Why did she make you a target?"
Lianyi frowned and said in displeasure.
"Queen, calm down. I agree with her decision. Since we are training her, we must see it through to the end."
Xian Shijun explained in a low voice.
"Let's not talk about her for now. Go wash up first and let Mei Yuanzheng check your pulse. I'll eat something with you later and you can go and rest."
At Lianyi's command, the servant beside Xianshijun immediately stepped forward and helped his master to wash and dress.
Fengshou then stepped forward and reported the rescue process.
"Thank you for your hard work. While Xian Shijun is washing up, let Mei Yuanzheng go check on Feng Qi first and make sure she is okay. If you need any medicinal herbs, take my jade pendant to the warehouse to get them."
Lianyi said this as she pulled off the white jade phoenix pendant from her waist.
"Yes, I thank the Queen on behalf of Feng Qi."
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward, took the phoenix pendant and left.
After Mei Yuanzheng had taken the pulse of the wounded man and examined Xian Shijun, he let the medicine boy carry the medicine box and help her leave.
Lianyi watched Xian Shijun lie down, so she took a book to read and kept Xian Shijun company.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to accompany me..."
Although Xian Shijun was secretly delighted, he still spoke insincerely.
"You've been through so much fighting and have been frightened. I'll stay with you so you can sleep peacefully."
Ripple said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xian Shijun no longer refused, as it would have been too hypocritical.
Sure enough, soon after falling asleep, Xian Shijun felt a little uneasy, mumbling to himself, with a ferocious expression on his face.
Lianyi directly held the other person's hand and passed some spiritual energy to Xianshijun, which allowed the other person to fall asleep peacefully.
"I didn't realize you were so kind to this wise servant."
The stone mortar suddenly appeared.
"He is the Queen's true love. I failed to protect him in my previous life. As a tasker, I must naturally fulfill the Queen's wish."
"It's just that I'm attracted by your beauty..."
"Why is your signal so good right now?"
“…”
In the other courtyard, Rong Shijun and Huangfu received the news that Xian Shijun had returned one after another. Although it was the late night, Fengshou and the others did not hide it, so it was hard for them not to know.
Among them, Rong Shijun had the biggest reaction:
"You're so lucky that you're not dead even after this!"
His eyes were burning. As the former husband, he knew very well that the person the Queen really cared about was not him, but the wise servant who was only good at wielding swords and guns.
The poor emperor's husband still hasn't figured out the empress's thoughts. She treats him as an enemy, but lets the virtuous minister take advantage of the situation.
Even though he hinted and hinted many times, the other party didn't believe him. Instead, they became more wary of him and did many things to trip him up.
It’s no wonder that the emperor didn’t believe it. After all, the first daughter was his, and the second daughter was the emperor’s unexpected daughter. They already had daughters, so they didn’t care about the birth of the third princess.
Even now, in the fight for the throne, the third princess has been eliminated early on. Isn't this a kind of protection?
He also took part in the assassination of the Third Princess and Xian Shijun this time, but she wanted Xian Shijun to die more! Although he failed, he was once again sure that Xian Shijun was the one the Queen really cared about.
The emperor also felt regretful. As long as the third princess was fine, the death of Xian Shijun would not be a big deal. However, he still arranged for someone to send some calming and nourishing herbs to Xian Shijun to show his magnanimity.
Here, the virtuous attendant escaped danger and the Third Princess also hid herself. Han Lu could not wait for any news from the assassins, so he knew that the mission was probably failed.
However, the success or failure of this assassination had little impact on their overall plan, so after unloading the food, he quickly returned to the territory of Panlong Kingdom with the silver.
Only after leaving Fengqi State with trepidation did General Han feel completely relieved. Unfortunately, he was too early to let go.
My dears, today is a limited free day. Feng Ling will update three chapters as usual. There will be more chapters tomorrow. I hope you will continue to support me! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
