Chapter 2 Before entering the palace, there are already countless enemies
The crossbow in the hands of Qin Wang Zhao Defang was powerful. The arrows shot out seemed to have eyes, and flew towards the black-clothed masked assassins with a fierce momentum!
The thirty-six elite guards, with their steel knives in their hands, were not vegetarians either. They chopped down the black-clothed masked men who flew down.
The seventeen shadow guards who were closely guarding the prince and the flower sedan also sent a few people to fly towards the archers on the roof.
A fierce battle with a huge disparity in strength ended in less than a cup of tea. Several black-clothed masked assassins who wanted to escape when they saw the situation was not good were also chased by the shadow guards and killed one by one.
Yun Yi used his Qinggong to leap to a bed crossbow on the rooftop a few hundred steps away, and killed three black-clothed masked men who had just loaded the string but had not yet fired. Afraid that this powerful bed crossbow would be used to shoot the prince again, he used his internal force to smash its string control part with a palm!
On the way back, Yun Yi killed an assassin with high kung fu skills, jumped off the roof, and came in front of the King of Qin.
He knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, it's the bed crossbow in the army! I have killed the archer and destroyed the bed crossbow."
The King of Qin nodded and looked around!
Forty-three black-clothed masked assassins were killed, but there were also thirty or forty innocent people who died in a pool of blood.
Several of the Shadow Guards and Mo Yun's personal soldiers were also wounded by arrows, but fortunately, none of the wounds were life-threatening.
Blood flowed on the wide street, and the bright red wedding dresses and bright red sedan chairs worn by the wedding procession made the scene look bizarre, enchanting, sad and tragic!
A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the King of Qin! He
ordered in a deep voice: "Yun Yi, leave a few people to deal with the aftermath, and give each family of the dead people three hundred taels of silver for a lavish burial.
The rest of you continue to guard the sedan chair back to the palace, and don't miss the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony!"
The drums and music sounded, and the wedding procession continued to move forward.
Luo Li pushed away the four maids lying on her with a sudden force!
: "I'm dying of suffocation!... If I'm not shot to
death by the sharp arrows, I'll be crushed to death by you guys!" The four maids were so scared that they turned pale and were terrified!
Ruhua, with a pale face and trembling body, hurriedly coaxed the young lady, "Miss, I'm glad you're okay. It's better to be suffocated for a while than to be pierced by a
sharp arrow!" Luo Li leaned back in the seat and patted his chest with lingering fear: "Damn it! I'm scared to death!
If I were shot to death in the sedan chair, I might be the shortest-lived bride in the world."
Siyu hurriedly comforted the young lady, "Miss, you are a lucky person. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."
: "Bullshit good fortune in the future! The short-lived dog Qin Wang will cause me to lose my life one day!"
Ruhua was so scared that she wanted to cover the young lady's mouth again!
: "Miss, please be careful with your words! Except for Hong Gu, everyone outside this sedan chair is from the Qin Palace."
Luo Li raised her hand to block Ruhua's hand, straightened the crooked phoenix crown on her head, pulled the big red veil over her head, closed her eyes and looked back!
Her real name is Xiao Qian, and she was a military doctor in a peacekeeping force in China in the 21st century. While performing a mission in Africa, she was attacked and killed by local opposition armed forces. However, her soul traveled to the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago and possessed the silly lady who accidentally fell into the water and died in the scholar's mansion.
Except when she was sad because of missing her relatives in her previous life, this identity she traveled through made her satisfied and she could wake up with a smile in her dreams.
Fortunately, she did not travel through time to become a beggar in the city or a poor farm girl in the mountains, but became the daughter of Lord Luo Jiluo, a third-rank scholar of Guanwen Hall. She is definitely the child of a high-ranking official of a privileged class!
Even more fortunate is that Xiao Qian, who was 28 years old and of average appearance, woke up to become the beautiful Miss Luo Li, 16 years old, young and pretty. She really made a fortune!
The original owner's parents loved and doted on this silly daughter who had a brain disease due to a high fever when she was a child. This made Xiao Qian, who had been missing the love of her father and mother since she was six years old, feel the warmth of fatherly and motherly love.
Xiao Qian was born in poverty and suffered a lot in her previous life. Now that she has a new life, she wants to enjoy this wonderful life with such a good background!
She wants to make a fortune by doing business with the knowledge beyond a thousand years in her head and become a wealthy woman in the Song Dynasty.
She wants to live a life of luxury and extravagance. She wants to have a thousand mansions, fertile fields, servants like clouds, and enjoy all the glory and wealth to make up for the good things she owed herself in her previous life!
This beautiful dream lasted less than a year before it was shattered by the King of Qin's request for a marriage!
The dog King Qin ignored so many talented, beautiful and gentle noble ladies in the capital, and chose this notorious silly lady, and asked the emperor for an imperial decree to grant her marriage.
The dog King Qin's own life is in danger, and he tied this lady to his broken chariot that is shaking in the wind and rain!
But there is no other way! In this era of strict class hierarchy, disobeying the imperial decree is pure suicide, and it will also implicate her parents and family who love and pamper her.
She can only get on the chariot obediently and think about how to get out of the fire pit.
Luo Li's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration! It seems that there is a law in the laws of the Song Dynasty that allows divorce if the couple is not in harmony.
[Yes! Divorce! Luo Li
sat up straight with excitement!
If she could find a way to get a letter of divorce, wouldn't she be able to escape from the hell of the Qin Palace and save her life?
The four maids who came with the dowry were startled. Was the young lady suffering from a brain disease again due to the stimulation?
Ruhua hugged the young lady, fearing that she would jump up, "Young lady, don't be afraid, the assassins have been killed!"
Luo Li slowly collapsed again, "It's okay, it's okay! I have thought of a new way to cook your young lady, I guarantee it will be absolutely delicious after it is cooked!"
Several maids didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were afraid that their young lady's greedy character would never change in this lifetime.
Mo Wen, who was outside the sedan chair, twitched his mouth!
[I can't hear! I can't hear! I can't hear how greedy the silly princess my prince married is! 】
After figuring out that there was still a way out in this desperate situation, Luo Li's resentment was slightly reduced, and she felt much more relaxed.
She had been toiling from the time she woke up at dawn until now, and was frightened by the assassin who had killed her on the way. She was a little tired. Her eyelids became heavier, and she fell into a deep sleep amid the loud music.
Because the battle ended too quickly, the news that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was assassinated by a masked man in black on the way to the wedding was known to everyone before it was spread.
The private room on the third floor of Taihe Restaurant facing the street had been booked a few days ago. When the wedding procession approached, the guests in the private room all stood up and stood in front of the windows with good visibility.
In front of the window of the southernmost private room, several women in bright clothes surrounded a woman in purple, crowded in front of the open window and looked out. The
woman in purple was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gorgeous appearance and a graceful and charming figure, like a blooming peony, full of charm and elegance.
Her charming red phoenix eyes stared at the handsome face of the Prince of Qin, who was like a demon, with a glittering light in her eyes and a surge of charm.
A woman in red beside her looked at the King of Qin on horseback and said angrily: "In terms of beauty, talent and family background, the only noblewoman in the capital who can match His Majesty the King of Qin is you, the daughter of the Prime Minister with stunning beauty.
But the position of the King of Qin's wife fell to a fool with a brain disease. This is too infuriating! I don't know what the King of Qin is thinking?!"
Zhao Zhiya glanced at Rong Yanran who was defending her, and then turned her eyes to the window.
Looking at the luxurious big flower sedan, the arrogant expression on her face suddenly became a little distorted because of jealousy, and her contemptuous eyes were mixed with a strong jealousy.
: "What if a fool takes the position of the Princess of Qin? Can His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin live in harmony with a fool who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and grow old together?!"
Zhao Zhiya's voice was full of jealousy and unwillingness.
In the private room in the middle of the wine shop, a slender woman in yellow clothes, hearing the sound of drums approaching, stood up and slowly walked to the window.
When her eyes saw the figure riding on the horse, she had been thinking about day and night, tears filled her eyes instantly, and her resentful eyes were always glued to the man with beautiful appearance and unrivaled appearance of his time.
: Your Royal Highness the Prince of Qin! You are so talented and brilliant, why did you choose a fool who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun to ask for an imperial decree to marry you?
Do you know that Luo Ruixue, a talented woman in the capital, has been in love with you since she saw you at the age of thirteen? Do you know that Ruixue worries about you, feels sorry for you, and is worried about you every day?
Miss Luo's tearful eyes were always glued to the King of Qin until she could no longer see the figure of Yue Meiziyi in the distance.
"Miss, now that things have come to this, don't be sad anymore, lest you hurt yourself." The personal maid consoled her distressedly.
Miss Luo's tearful eyes showed a firmness!
"Although the position of the Qin Prince's principal wife has been taken away, doesn't the prince still have two concubines?
I don't believe that with my talent and beauty comparable to that of Li Ye, a talented woman in the Tang Dynasty, as long as I enter the Qin Prince's mansion, I can't fight against a silly princess who only knows how to eat and have fun?!"
Luo Lisi, who was sleeping soundly in the flower sedan, had no idea that she had countless rivals before she even entered the palace.
