Green Guardian: “???”
Chapter 104 Post-Death Scene
Protector Qing gripped his sword tightly and said nothing.
The secret guard looked at him with piercing eyes, as if to say, "If you don't give it to me, I will take it myself."
The situation in the hall was on the verge of breaking out.
The Green and White Guardians exchanged a glance, their understanding tacit. One of them grabbed the Green Guardian's hand, and the White Guardian snatched the Qingyu Sword from the Green Guardian's hand without explanation and handed it to the secret guard. "Thank you very much. May I ask what your name is, brother?"
The secret guard looked at the sword in Protector Bai's hand, and his breathing suddenly became heavier. He didn't dare to take the sword for a moment: "Jiang, Jiang Yao, you hold it first, wait for me! It will be quick!"
As soon as Jiang Yao finished speaking, he glanced at the sword in his hand, which was uniformly equipped to every secret guard.
This sword is indeed not bad, but compared with the Qingyu Sword in front of him, which is a natural treasure and looks like a treasure from the world, his original sword is just a "weed" on the roadside.
Jiang Yao threw the weeds in his hand to the ground, wiped his blood-stained hands carefully with his clothes, then stretched out his hands and solemnly took the Qingyu Sword.
Jiang Yao's rough hands trembled slightly, and for a moment he couldn't help his emotions, with hot tears in his sunken eye sockets.
The best sword he had ever seen was the sword of their Beishan Sect Leader. The Emperor's was also good, but it was a soft sword, designed to be tied around the waist as a belt, and not hard enough for him.
He just likes hard swords!
This Qingyu Sword is upright and can cut through iron like mud. It is simply his dream sword, tailor-made for him.
The young master was indeed the person who understood him best in the world. He understood him back then and gave him the sword and swordsmanship. After many years, he gave him the sword of his dreams.
Jiang Yao looked at the Guardian Qing, his honest face filled with sincerity: "Guardian Qing, don't worry, I, Jiang Yao, will treat it well in the future! If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning!"
Guardian Qing: "..."
He pursed his lips, and couldn't help but want to grab the sword back, but the White Protector and the Green Protector quickly held him back.
Bai Hufa whispered, "This man is so stubborn. Now is not a good time. Leave him alone for now and leave the sword with him. We can deal with him slowly later."
Green Guardian also advised: "What White Guardian said is right, and this Qingyu Sword was given to you by the Palace Master. It is only natural that the Young Palace Master gives the sword away."
Green Guardian: “???”
As he was speaking, the palace door opened and the queen walked in step by step.
She lowered her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the emperor who was stabbed like a sieve, then retracted her gaze and looked at the only four people left in the hall: "What I said just now..."
The White Guardian released the Green Guardian and bowed to the Queen. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The three of us didn't hear anything just now. Thank you very much for your help this time."
If the Queen's words had not disturbed the Emperor's mind, they might not have succeeded.
The queen smiled slightly and said, "That's good."
The Queen had met Xuan Bing's three guardians in the past. They knew each other's backgrounds and had a common enemy, so they could be trusted.
Then she looked at the other person who was left alone.
The man was holding the Qingyu Sword, kneeling on the ground, his hands trembling and his expression excited.
He didn't even notice the queen coming in.
The Queen was silent for a moment.
Wu Weian's letter said that he still had a sword.
It turns out that this person is the sword.
Over the years, the Queen had also thought about planting people among the Emperor's secret guards, but each of his secret guards was carefully selected and had a special source. The Queen had never figured it out before, and she didn't know that the source was the Beishan Sword Sect, so naturally there was no way to plant a spy.
She thought about bribing people, but failed every time. Instead, she exposed her own spies, and several of them were taken down by the emperor.
The Queen also knew this person, but he was never on her bribery list.
The Queen said, "What about you?"
Jiang Yao raised his head: "Huh?"
Queen: "Did you hear what I just said?"
Jiang Yao looked confused: "Huh?"
Did the Queen say anything?
What did you say?
It seemed like there was, and he was chattering outside the palace all the time. However, he was very busy at the time, thinking about the Qingyu Sword, guarding against the three guardians, and looking for an opportunity to kill the emperor. He had no time to listen to what the queen was saying.
Queen: "Forget it."
She bent down, picked up a sword from the ground, and thrust it into her abdomen without changing her expression.
Jiang Yao stared at the scene in a daze, remained kneeling, and quickly took a few steps back.
This is terrifying! What happened to this queen? She actually stabbed herself?!
It turns out that women are the most difficult to understand in the world. Swords are still better, hehe.
Jiang Yao lowered his head and kissed the sword reverently.
Behind them, the three Dharma protectors were all silent.
Protector Bai patted Protector Qing's shoulder and said, "I take back what I just said. You'd better give up the idea of taking back the Qingyu Sword."
Guardian Qing: "..."

On July 13, the 22nd year of Youchang, the emperor went to visit Li and was assassinated. The emperor died and Li was seriously injured.
*
Five days later, the prince went to the palace to visit the queen with two big black eyes.
During these five days, he hardly slept a wink, busying himself arranging all the affairs of the court.
All the officials were still there, and they all knew that the prince was about to ascend the throne, so they cooperated very well.
The queen leaned on the bed and looked at the prince: "Is everything okay?"
The prince reached out and tucked the corner of the quilt for his mother: "Yes, mother."
Queen: "Next, let's arrange the coronation."
The prince was silent for a moment: "Yes."
The queen looked at him and asked, "What else?"
The prince pursed his lips and said, "Mother, do you think I would be a good emperor?"
The Queen smiled and said with certainty, "You will be."
Most of what she said to Qi Wenyu that day was true.
The prince was indeed not Qi Wenyu's bloodline, nor was he hers. He was the child that the palace maid wanted to strangle to death.
