Chapter 351 Melee

"Shuhong!" A baby-like voice called out urgently. Shuhong turned her head and saw little Li Sheng in red clothes being protected by Si Jinyu and two other people, coming quickly towards them.

The hidden arrow just now was obviously shot by one of them.

Shu Hong was so frightened that she quickly hugged little Li Sheng into her arms, scolding him, "Who told you to run away?!"

Li Sheng had insisted on riding in Si Jinyu's carriage with him. Logically, Si Jinyu's carriage was at the back of the team, and the assassin's target was the emperor, so the carriage at the back was obviously the safest.

Shu Hong was also glad that little Li Sheng happened to go to the carriage at the back, because who would have thought that the child would actually run to the front by himself!

What if I get accidentally hit by a stray arrow?

It was rare for Shu Hong to yell at her, and little Li Sheng was startled, but she still said obediently, "Brother is also worried about Ling Long."

Knowing that the team at the front suffered the greatest impact, Si Jinyu could not sit still and allow Si Linglong in the front to fall into danger even if the rear was stable.

Even though she knew that she was safest staying with the emperor, who could guarantee it?

Si Jinyu wanted to come over, and Li Sheng also wanted to follow, so she had no choice but to bring him over. Seeing that he was in Shuhong's arms, Si Jinyu said to her, "Follow your sister Shuhong. I'll go to the front to find Linglong."

Having said that, he rushed straight into the melee ahead with two guards.

Little Li Sheng watched him leave and was about to follow him, but was hugged by Shu Hong.

In this case, they can't cause trouble.

Staying quiet is the only thing they can do now.

…

At this time, almost all the green-clad assassins were gathered in front of the team. Helian Yue and the Queen Mother were both safely protected in the middle, but they were unable to escape. They could only watch as their driver was pulled away by the horse and disappeared.

Seeing that they could not break through for a long time, some of the green-clad assassins rushed towards the concubines' carriages. If they could capture one or two concubines, they could force the dog emperor to show up.

An assassin in green set his sights on the nearest carriage. He finally tore through the guards and climbed onto the carriage. Just as he was about to get inside, he was suddenly stabbed in the chest by a dagger.

The assassin didn't even have time to utter a scream before he was kicked out of the carriage the next second.

Gu Qingquan took off her heavy cloak and walked out of the carriage in a long dress with a tight waist and narrow sleeves. In her hand was a pitch-black dagger, which was the one that Wu Lie won for her in Pingcheng.

The black dagger was stained with blood, but there didn't seem to be any blood on the dagger. Only the black edge on it showed an increasingly eerie light.

Gu Qingquan just stood there silently, her cold face full of chilliness. Xiang Ye stood beside her, holding two swords in her hands. She did not look like the respectful and capable palace maid that she usually was.

Gu Qingquan glanced ahead and saw that only the Queen Mother's carriage was left, and he frowned.

"Xiang Ye, follow me and ride."

As soon as Gu Qingquan finished speaking, he jumped off the carriage and headed quickly towards the Queen Mother's carriage. Xiang Ye didn't say a word and stood behind her master to clear some obstacles for her.

The guards around naturally recognized who this master was, and they knew that she came from General Gu's mansion. Although it was rare to see her take action, they did not dare to let her get hurt, and hurriedly followed to protect her.

Gu Qingquan, relying on a dagger and the guards around him, tore open the outer wall and tried to break in on his own.

Wu Lie was leading the secret guards to help the imperial army to clear out the green-clad assassins who kept pouring in here. With the corner of his eye, he saw the extraordinary figure, and his face under the mask sank.

Seeing several assassins who were attacked from behind by her becoming angry and rushing towards her, Wu Lie's heart sank. Without hesitation, he killed the assassin in front of him with a sword. Then, he moved like a ghost and landed on the side of Gu Qingquan in the blink of an eye. The sword flashed, and the two green-clad assassins fell to the ground.

Gu Qingquan turned around suddenly and bumped into Wu Lie's gloomy eyes.
