Xu Guan moved his lips, and something flashed in his eyes, but he immediately returned to his calm demeanor. "What do they do to me?"
As soon as the voice fell, the girl seemed to be unable to stand and was supported by Feng Jun beside her. "Mother, how are you?"
Xu Guan leaned forward and subconsciously reached out his hand. When he realized what he was doing, he clenched his fists behind his back and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, this has been delayed long enough."
"I don't understand what you are saying." Su Man pretended to be stupid.
Xu Guan chuckled, "I have to say, you're worthy of praise for risking your life just to force me to show up."
He slowly drew the long sword from his waist. "Unfortunately, your plan is too simple. Sending a palace maid to call for reinforcements, do you think she can leave this Chongsheng Temple?"
Su Man frowned, "What do you mean."
"What I mean is, you want to walk into a trap, but unfortunately your reinforcements will not come. I have already sent people to intercept Wu Xia."
Xu Guan pointed the knife at Su Man and said, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country after all. If you don't resist, I will leave you with an intact body."
"No!"
Before Xu Guan could make a move, Feng Jun opened his arms like a hen protecting her chicks, "Dad, you can't kill His Majesty. If you kill His Majesty, I won't live either!"
Xu Guan frowned, "Get out of the way."
"No."
"Do you think I really don't dare to touch you?"
Although Xu Guan's eyes looked dangerous, Feng Jun did not retreat in the slightest. On the one hand, he wanted to protect Su Man, and on the other hand, he did not believe that his father would kill him.
Seeing Feng Jun's insistence, the last trace of smile on Xu Guan's face disappeared, "In that case, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between father and son."
"Humph, Dad, if you want to send your son to his grave, then chop him off!"
Feng Jun was fearless, but Su Man saw something unusual in Xu Guan's expression. When Xu Guan moved, she was faster than him and pulled Feng Jun back.
At the same time, Xu Guan's knife was only a few millimeters away from Feng Jun's belly.
In other words, if Su Man hadn't pulled Feng Jun, he could have had an appendectomy by now.
Feng Jun was obviously frightened by this scene. He realized it later and said, "Dad, are you serious?"
Xu Guan didn't answer, but made a gesture to the assassin behind him.
...
With a "ding" sound, General Hu's long sword blocked the assassins in front.
The assassins on both sides also attacked. Su Man pulled Feng Jun behind him, dodged the sharp blade, turned around and kicked, and snatched a long sword.
The situation was critical, and the female prime minister temporarily put aside her romantic feelings and waved a long door bolt to resist the assassin.
It can be seen that these assassins did not kill Feng Jun and the female prime minister, which made them timid when they took action and they were unable to do anything to them for a long time.
Xu Guan's expression grew colder as he said in a deep voice, "A quick and decisive battle! Anyone who stands in our way will be killed without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin's swordsmanship became fierce.
The female minister's door bolt was broken into pieces. General Hu's two fists were no match for four hands, and Su Man was becoming more and more exhausted.
They fought and retreated, and soon they were stuck to the edge of the incense table.
A strong wind blew, and Su Man spun around to avoid it, just in time to bump into the other two assassins.
After barely dodging two sharp blades, Su Man said to the monk beside him, "When are you going to attack now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monks who were originally cowering pulled up their robes to reveal the armor underneath and rushed straight forward.
At the same time, the door outside was knocked open, and the "monks" filed in and quickly subdued the assassin.
He didn't realize what was happening until the beard crown was taken off.
He was held down on the ground by two people behind him, but he still managed to raise his head and look at Su Man, his eyes full of resentment. "Why?"
Su Man walked in front of him. Although her hair was disheveled, she still exuded an aura of dominance. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You thought you knew my plan, but you didn't know that what you knew was what I wanted you to know."
It turned out that after Su Man guessed that the traitor was Xu Guan, she wanted to catch him in a trap, but she simply pretended not to know his identity, which made it easy for her to be discovered.
So she played along, making him mistakenly believe that he had grasped her rescue plan. Little did he know that her real plan was not with Wu Xia at all, but with the monks of Chongsheng Temple.
She asked General Hu to send a group of soldiers into the temple in advance. In order to conceal their presence, she asked them to shave their heads and dress up as monks. It was perfectly normal for monks to go to the temple.
Xu Guan thought that as long as Su Man went up Chongsheng Mountain, he would be isolated and helpless, but what he didn't know was that the monks on the mountain were actually soldiers in disguise.
As for why he didn't ask the monk to take action immediately, it was because Su Man wanted to test how much the woman knew about Xu Guan's plan.
The conclusion is that the female appearance is completely controlled by the love manual.
...
Xu Guan, who was already on the verge of defeat, seemed to have his life drained out and instantly aged by ten years.
"I lost. I still can't beat you born royal nobles."
Su Man said calmly, "How are you any different from the princes and nobles you mentioned? You hate them for arbitrarily controlling the fate of others, but what are you doing now? You use the female prime minister to deceive her true feelings. You disrupt Dayong's rule and provoke war, leaving the people in dire straits. Isn't this what you hate the most?"
Xu Guan was stunned.
how so?
He obviously just wanted to stop being helpless because of his lack of power and status, and not even be able to save the woman he loved.
