The princess of Xixia, Feng Guanxia, ​​who was stepping into the door, looked calm, with a hint of sacredness in her expression, but Xu Zizhen never thought that this so-called princess of Xixia, who was the target of Sanjuetang this time, would actually It will be an old acquaintance of his - Li Luoyan.

It wasn't until then that Xu Zizhen suddenly understood what Li Sheng said before he died. Being in the royal family, it is not uncommon for this kind of competition for favor and succession, although he still doesn't know how Li Luoyan's background is. But he also understood at this moment, why Li Luoyan said that although he liked him, he couldn't marry him.

Li Meng also raised his eyelids out of curiosity and looked, his eyes widened suddenly, and he almost cried out, Xu Zizhen pulled him quickly, Li Meng immediately understood, and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Luoyan stepped into the building slowly, followed by an old eunuch, who was Li Gonggong who brought the two of them here. The old eunuch saw Xu Zizhen and Li Meng standing well-behaved, nodded in satisfaction, but scolded Said: "Little brat, why don't you hurry up to serve the princess when you see her highness?"

Xu Zizhen and Li Meng hurriedly bowed: "Yes!"

Li Luoyan happened to walk to Xu Zizhen's side, and when he heard this sound, he suddenly trembled and subconsciously turned his head to look, Xu Zizhen whispered: "Don't turn around, just pretend you don't know me."

Since the target of Sanjuetang is Li Luoyan, then Xu Zizhen must protect her well, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Sent here by himself, the whole thing seemed to become more interesting.

Xu Zizhen's mission in San Jue Tang is to assist in the assassination or kidnapping of the princess, but neither Sirius nor Zuo Shi thought that he would know the princess, so he became a dark figure instead, so at this time he must not be with Li Luoyan recognize each other.

Li Luoyan reacted quickly, surprise and astonishment flashed across her eyes, but she lowered her head slightly, her feet just stopped before continuing to walk forward, several maids serving her on a soft couch covered with feathers sat down.

Eunuch Li walked a few steps closer and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Chengtian Palace is already under preparation, you should rest here first, I'm afraid it won't be long before you go there."

Li Luoyan nodded, and said lightly, "Got it."

She responded with her mouth, but her eyes glanced at Xu Zizhen next to her from time to time. This was the person she couldn't forget in her heart. Now that she was by her side, how could she not bear to look at him?

Xu Zizhen stood by with his hands down, watching his heart and eyes. He wasn't sure if Sanjuetang was still lurking beside him, just like that Eunuch Li. At this juncture, he didn't dare to show his feet.

The princess didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak out. They just thought that the princess was nervous at today's ceremony, and no one dared to provoke her. After about an hour, a little eunuch suddenly came running outside the door. , calling softly: "His Royal Highness, the grand ceremony is about to start, please move!"

Eunuch Li waved his hand and screamed, "Princess, drive!"

……

The guard of honor moved again. This time, in addition to the original people, there were two more accompanying eunuchs——Xu Zizhen and Li Meng. They followed Li Luoyan's soft sedan chair on the left and the right, and came to a majestic palace. In front of the majestic main hall, there is a large plaque hanging on the head of the hall, with the words Chengtian Palace written on it.

There were two rows of officials on the spacious platform in front of the hall. When Li Luoyan got off the sedan chair in front of the hall, an eunuch had already screamed: "The princess is here!"

Officials on both sides bowed their bodies together, saying that the princess is a thousand years old. Li Luoyan kept his eyes fixed and looked calm. He walked through the middle with light lotus steps, and went straight to the front of the palace. On both sides, Xu Zizhen and Li Meng looked at each other and followed, standing with hands down.

"The Emperor is here!"

A sharp shout broke the dullness in front of the hall, everyone knelt down with a huff, but Li Luoyan remained standing still, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Not long after, a golden dragon chariot came slowly. The man on the chariot was over half a century old, looking a little fatter, his eyes were a little dull, as if he hadn't woken up, he leaned lazily on the cushion until The queue did not stop until it came to the front of the hall.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

After the mountain call, the old man waved his hand: "Get up."

"Thank you!"

Only then did everyone get up slowly, but Li Luoyan still turned a blind eye to all this, only staring at her toes.

Curiously, Xu Zizhen glanced at the old man, and then at Li Luoyan, only to find that the two were very similar. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Is this old man the Emperor Chongzong of Western Xia? If I take that girl If you take it down, won't you become Xi Xia's son-in-law?"

A civil servant with white beard and hair stood out from the officials on both sides of the hall, and he went up to the prelude and asked: "The auspicious time has come, please the emperor to issue an order to perform the ceremony!"

Chongzong lazily sat up straight, waved his hands and said, "Sure."

"I obey the order!" The white-bearded old civil servant bowed deeply, turned around and walked to the front of the hall holding a scroll, stood still, opened the scroll, and began to read aloud.

The scrolls were full of parallel sentences, Xu Zizhen didn't understand a single one, but the old man read it slowly, which made him drowsy, until he finally understood four words in the last sentence - Princess Yuping.

The old civil official finally finished reading, folded his hands together the scroll and bowed to the sky, then raised his hands high, Li Luoyan stepped forward, Yingying took it, his face was still as cold as before, without making a sound, the old civil official said anxiously in a low voice: "Your Highness, Long live your mountain."

Chongzong stepped down from the chariot, and waved his hands with a smile: "Forget it, there is no need to mention such trivial etiquette." After speaking, he looked at Li Luoyan, his eyes seemed a little complicated, and he sighed softly, "Luoer, you are already After returning to the palace for many days, are you still blaming the emperor?"

Li Luoyan said lightly: "Luo'er dare not."

Chongzong smiled wryly, but didn't say any more. He changed the subject and said, "Today's grand ceremony is complicated, and you are tired. Go down early and rest."

Li Luoyan glanced at him, and was about to step back, but at this moment, a few people from the two rows of guards behind Chongzong rushed out, and with a flick of the wrist, the light of the knife appeared, and shouted loudly: "Kill the dog emperor!"

This sudden turn of events, no one expected that in broad daylight, when hundreds of officials gathered, there would be an assassin appearing, and there was a commotion in front of the hall, none of the civil and military officials were prepared, and they panicked all of a sudden.

"Escort! Escort!"

The old eunuch beside Chongzong reacted very quickly, pulled Chongzong back a few steps, and shouted in panic, Xu Zizhen's heart trembled, and he was about to pull Li Luoyan away when two rows of officials beside him suddenly appeared Two people came, also armed with sharp knives, but they came straight to Li Luoyan, one of them hadn't come near, and suddenly shouted at Xu Zizhen: "Do it!"

It was only then that Xu Zizhen discovered that the official was disguised as Sirius, and it suddenly dawned on him that this so-called big task was actually aimed at both the emperor and the princess!

The sky wolf was extremely fast, and as soon as he finished speaking, he jumped over. Xu Zizhen suddenly raised his hand, and the Tang knife in his palm had already been revealed, and he dodged in front of Li Luoyan.

Sirius is very confident in his skills, seeing the pretty face of the princess in front of his eyes, he feels indescribably proud. This mission is extremely dangerous, but as long as he succeeds, it will be time for him to ascend to the sky once he returns safely. It's just that he hasn't been complacent for a long time, but he found that Li Luoyan's face was abnormally calm, and there was a look of contempt in his eyes.

"not good!"

Sirius subconsciously shuddered, but before he could react, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Luoyan, with a narrow and straight long knife in his hand. The steel knife made of steel was cut in half lightly.

"Don't move, be careful that my hands are shaking." Sirius was inexplicably surprised and before he came back to his senses, he felt a chill on his neck, and Xu Zizhen's smiling voice rang in his ears.

Sirius didn't expect that Xu Zizhen would catch him by surprise at this juncture, and he caught him off guard, and suddenly there were several screams next to his ears, but they were thrown out at the same time as him. The assassin was unexpectedly stabbed by Li Meng, and his heart was chilled.

And not far away, Chongzong, who was panicked, suddenly stood still, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Kill!"

There was a sharp sound of piercing the air, and the assassins who were about to pounce in front of him suddenly froze in place, with dozens of sharp arrows densely pierced into their bodies, and several palace maids held short crossbows that shot into the air. surround him.

The sudden change of the situation made Sirius dizzy for a while, and he stared at Xu Zizhen in surprise and anger: "You... who are you?"

Xu Zizhen shrugged: "Guess who I am? By the way, isn't your San Jue Tang very powerful in intelligence?"

Sirius felt that his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't figure out why Xu Zizhen would fight back.

Xu Zizhen chuckled lightly: "The one hundred thousand Xia army at Jincheng Pass was blocked, so didn't you ask who the thousand riders charged into the battle?"

"It's you!" Sirius finally understood and took a deep breath.

Of course he knew about Jinchengguan, but he was not in charge of the assassination of Wen Chengyan, so he didn't know about the extra Xu Zizhen. Unexpectedly, they picked up two enemies.

Xu Zizhen came close to his ear and said in a low voice: "I am not a good man and a believer in women. Since you San Jue Tang have the guts to provoke me, then don't blame me for being rude. Brother Sirius, you should go down and wait."

Sirius' pupils shrank suddenly, and before he had time to struggle, he felt the blade on his neck move slightly, and the world in front of him suddenly spun.

With a soft bang, Sirius' head fell to the ground. Xu Zizhen put away the knife, turned his head and smiled at Li Luoyan: "Girl, are you scared?"
