The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 363 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

The smell of blood wafted through the hall with the night wind, and the sound of fighting came from all directions, making it difficult for people to tell where it was coming from.

This time, the Imperial Forest Army came out in full force, and the Xun Ji Si was held back so tightly that he couldn't enter the Xie Fang Palace at all.

The palace lanterns under the eaves of Xiefang Hall swayed with the wind, and the candlelight danced and reflected on the ground. Shang Meng stepped in step by step, breaking the light under his feet, and the blood on the tip of the knife meandered all over the ground.

"It's really lively today, why are you all standing?"

There was an evil smile on Shangmeng's rather handsome face, and his demeanor was quite different from his stable and reticent appearance before.

Xiao Yu glanced at him, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He doesn't seem to be from Duke Ding's side...

"Shang Meng, I treat you well on weekdays. Is this how you repay me? You have been unfavorable for several times, and neither I nor the Tai Tuo have sinned against you. It's fine if you don't want to repay you. Today, you actually colluded with them Forcing the palace to rebel, I really missed it."

Jun Rong regretted that he should have been taken down in the first place.

Hearing this, Duke Ding and Duke Ning looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction, and the old concubine couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. After tonight, no one can hinder her anymore!

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take down this traitor!" The old princess scolded.

Unexpectedly, Shang Meng just cast her a glance, and did not catch Xiao Yu as she said, but mocked: "Old princess, do you think I am yours? It's too self-indulgent to talk around ?”

"You—what do you mean?"

"Of course it is—literally."

Shang Meng looked past her and landed on Xiao Yu who didn't say a word.

He gently twitched the corner of his mouth, changed his tone, and greeted him familiarly: "Why isn't your lord afraid at all, isn't he afraid that I will really kill you?"

"If you really wanted to kill me, would you still stand here and talk nonsense with me?" Xiao Yu was very calm, even so calm that he didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the entire Xiefang Palace.

"As expected of a prince, I really didn't come to kill you this time. In other words, I came to save you."

Shang Meng raised his hand and said to the Imperial Forest Army behind him: "Surround this place to death, not a single fly is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to be released."

The Imperial Forest Army split into two groups in an instant and surrounded them from behind.

Feeling that the situation was not right, Duke Ding immediately lowered his face and shouted sharply: "Shang Meng, what do you want to do? Didn't we all agree..."

"Say it? Duke Ding, Lord Ding, it's in vain that you planned such a big game, and you still haven't realized it. You and them are just players in the game. The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind, and now it's us When the oriole catches the net." Shang Meng stretched out his hand to touch them one by one, smiling wantonly.

"You?" Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes.

Shang Meng looked at her and smiled, "Yes, us. The lord wouldn't think that I'm going to deal with you, I only brought the imperial army here? You're so smart, I dare not underestimate you, so I found some helpers, not too much Bar?"

After the words fell, he raised his left hand and snapped his fingers in the air.

The next moment, countless men in black suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.

"Shang Meng, are you out of your mind? How dare you collude with assassins?"

"What on earth do you want to do?! No...who are you?" Ding Guogong finally realized, the note he saw that day flashed through his mind, and his heart jumped.

But he asked a lonely question, and no one paid attention to him.

The men in black rushed into the hall with the night wind, and a murderous air rushed towards them. Their eyes were cold and their bodies were strong. They were all masters at first glance.

"what!"

"Who is this?"

"What the hell is going on?"

This sentence spoke out the hearts of everyone. At first they could watch the excitement from the sidelines, but Shang Meng's appearance completely broke the balance in the hall.

Everyone was in a panic because they were not sure whether Shangmeng was an enemy or a friend, and it seems that they may be enemies rather than friends.

At some point, Jun Rong came to Xiao Yu's side and held Xiao Yu's hand tightly.

Xiao Yu glanced at him sideways, only to see his thin lips tightly pursed, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Prince Regent, my master admires you very much, so I specially asked me to invite you to come. If you obediently leave with me, everyone will be safe and sound, but if you refuse...don't blame us for offending. "

When Shang Meng flipped his wrist, the cold light on the blade was bright and murderous.

"Could it be that your master is the master of the Lianhua Palace who hides his head and shows his tail?" Xiao Yu had a guess in his heart. All of today's events may have something to do with that person, and what's more, this situation was designed by him alone.

I don't know where I thought, Xiao Yu suddenly asked with a thought: "Is he here?"

"Hahahahahaha——My lord is sincere and thoughtful, and he can still be so calm at this time. No wonder my master admires you so much. Why doesn't your lord consider joining my master? My master is wise, talented, and talented. He is the destiny Your Majesty, what's the point of assisting this humble puppet?"

Shang Meng stared at Xiao Yu with scorching eyes, not taking Jun Rong seriously at all.

Jun Rong's fists were clenched, and she repeatedly ravaged the Mistress of the Lianhua Palace, who didn't know her appearance, thousands of times in her heart.

"Okay, stop wasting time with nonsense, now I give you two choices, follow me or be taken away by me?"

With a wave of Shang Meng's hand, the assassins and the imperial guards took another step closer, and all the officials were scared out of their wits and retreated one after another.

"Aren't you too confident for talking nonsense on my territory?" Xiao Yu looked at him indifferently.

"My lord, I should give this sentence to you. Do you think I can't see that you are delaying time? Are you waiting for the Black Eagle Army outside the city to rescue you? But you probably don't know. They were tampered with in the army's food, and now they can't get up together with the guard army."

"What?!" Xiao Yu's expression finally changed slightly.

Not only her, but the rest of the officials also showed shock on their faces.

Shangmeng watched with satisfaction: "The Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. You should obediently capture him, my lord, otherwise you will be hurt, and we will not be able to explain to the master."

Jun Rong's heart tightened, and she said in a low voice: "Teacher, I will hold them back, let Hanyi protect you and hurry up, and the Xunji driver can hold off for a while."

"No, if you stay, they will definitely not let you go!" Xiao Yu refused without thinking.

"Can……"

"Stop talking nonsense, if it doesn't work, we'll kill it."

At first, Jun Rong didn't understand what Xiao Yu's words meant.

In the next moment, she pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve with her backhand, and laid it across her neck.

Shang Meng's pupils shrank, and he asked in surprise, "What is your lord doing?"

"You and your master are too self-righteous. I can be wherever I want, and no one can force me. You want me to go with you. Well, let's try to see if you are faster or my dagger is faster. "

Xiao Yu's face was calm, without any fear.
