Chapter 624 Su Runmo's Game of Chess

Xiao Tingchen dropped a pawn, got up and left.

The lights are dimmed.

The emperor looked at the untied Zhenlong chess game, and sighed silently.

The wrinkles between his brows made him look ten years older.

Just as Xiao Tingchen left the dragon tent, he suddenly heard a loud noise from a distance:

"There are unicorns in the mountains!"

"It's the auspicious unicorn!"

Excited shouts were louder and louder.

As a mythical beast, no one has ever seen the true face of Qilin.

But yesterday, the strange fragrance of Su wine attracted the phoenix, and everyone believed that there really were divine beasts in the world.

The envoys of the Seven Kingdoms were so excited that they set off into the depths of the mountains with their bodyguards, hoping to capture the auspicious beast Qilin and present it to their own emperor, so as to make their country's fortunes more prosperous.

Teams of torches meandered towards the mountain with enthusiasm, and the excitement was overwhelming.

Even the emperor was alarmed. He came out of the tent and looked towards the deep mountain.

Noticing that Xiao Tingchen was also there, he said in a gentle voice: "It is said that the one who gets the unicorn wins the world. If there is a unicorn, I really want to get it. Is Huaijin interested in hunting in the mountains? If I can catch a unicorn, I will follow you wishes, not to reveal your life experience."

Xiao Tingchen smiled inexplicably, "Okay."

He took the emperor's personal guards and galloped towards the deep mountains.

Other interested courtiers also followed suit.

For a while, the entire camp was mostly empty.

Su Jiu also heard the commotion.

She came out of the tent, "But what happened?"

Shuang Jiang danced and danced, "I heard that someone saw a unicorn in the mountains. Everyone was excited and rushed to hunt in the mountains! I have never seen a unicorn when I grow up so big, I really want to see what it looks like!"

Su Jiu's eyes moved slightly.

She doesn't know if there are unicorns in the world, but...

The appearance of this so-called unicorn is too coincidental.

While contemplating, Gu Yu appeared leading a group of hidden guards.

He said coldly: "The master has an order, please enter the tent immediately. Before he comes back, the princess is not allowed to leave the tent."

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows.

It seems that Xiao Tingchen also noticed the strange appearance of the so-called Qilin, and sent someone to protect her.

She returned quietly to the tent.

She sat down behind the short table, and Gu Yu actually led the team of hidden guards to follow in and surrounded her tightly.

"What is this for?" She said coldly, "Spy on me?"

Gu Yu smiled, "What did the concubine say, the master is worried that something will happen to the concubine, so he left the hidden guards to protect the concubine."

Su Jiu: "What will happen to this camp?"

Gu Yu still smiled, "I don't know, but follow the master's order."

Su Jiu took a deep breath.

Gu Yu is different from Jing Zhe, Jing Zhe is clumsy and clumsy, she can always easily get Xiao Tingchen's secrets out of his mouth.

However, Gu Yu is meticulous and has his own set of rules, which is why he was promoted to be the chief steward of Prince Yong's Mansion. No matter what she says in daily life, he can't get Xiao Tingchen out of it.

Long night.

The guards around him were all dark-faced and motionless.

Needle drop can be heard in the tent.

Su Jiu read a few pages, and couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he suggested to Gu Yu, "Can't you go outside the tent and keep watch?"

"The original words of the master are that you must guard the princess 'inseparable'."

Su Jiu was speechless.

She flipped through a few more pages of the book and asked casually, "Everyone went to the mountain to catch unicorns, who are left in this camp?"

Gu Yu: "The emperor and empress are all here. His Highness the Crown Prince has no interest in the unicorn, and he is still staying in the camp. The female family members are also in the tent, very excited, probably waiting to see the unicorn."

Su Jiu was thinking about it, when there was a commotion outside the tent.

She got up and wanted to go out to have a look, but Gu Yu stopped her, "Master has an order, Wangfei is not allowed to leave the tent for half a step. Wangfei wants to know what's going on outside, I just send someone out to have a look."

He gestured while speaking.

But after a while, the hidden guard who went out to investigate the situation immediately returned, cupped his hands and said: "A lot of assassins have come to the camp, and they are coming to the emperor's tent. They are probably going to assassinate the emperor!"

Su Jiu was awe-inspiring.

Things are very clear.

Su Runmo's family was killed by the emperor, and he left Beiliang with a grudge.

He wanted to use Jin Shixing to control the situation in Beiliang, thereby destroying Daqi, but Jin Shixing was an idiot who couldn't help him, so he had to settle for the next best thing and make a seven-nation alliance.

The center of the Seven Kingdoms is Chang'an, and the place where the covenant was signed can only be Chang'an.

He came here with the elite, took the opportunity of hunting, deliberately created some unicorn beasts, took the opportunity to transfer all the soldiers and horses in the camp, and then sent assassins to assassinate the emperor, intending to take revenge!

What a big game of chess!

She said coldly, "Is the emperor's personal guard still there?"

Gu Yu: "They were all taken away by the master, and went to the deep mountains to look for Qilin."

Su Jiu frowned, "No one protects the emperor now?"

The secret guard who just went out to investigate replied: "Yes. Because the prince is not interested in Qilin, the soldiers of the Eastern Palace are still in the camp, and they will probably take on the responsibility of protecting the emperor."

Su Jiu: "..."

It would be better to let the emperor run for his life than to count on the ostentation of the East Palace to protect the emperor, the hope of surviving may be greater.

At this time, the Prince's tent.

All the guards of the Eastern Palace were sent out by him to protect the emperor, and there were only two guards outside the tent.

He sat under the lamplight, his fingertips trembling.

"It's over, it's over, everyone is going to the mountains to catch unicorns, and I can only protect my father... But how should I protect my father, I'm so scared..."

At hand, the bouquet of wild rhododendrons is in a vase, blooming very brightly.

Zhao Wuyang didn't care about his fear and fear at all, but calmly dressed in the mirror.

"Yangyang, what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Wuyang was expressionless, and pulled up strands of his hair, "The assassin didn't come after me, so I don't care what you want to do."

"I mean, do I want to protect my father?"

Zhao Wuyang sneered, "The emperor doesn't regard you as his own son at all, so why do you rush to be filial?"

Yuan Xu frowned.

Ever since Jinling and his party that year, he had learned from Sikong Chen that his father didn't like him.

Everyone said he was stupid, but in the eyes of his father, he was probably just a stupid son who didn't matter.

but……

No matter how stupid and incompetent he is, he still wants to prove himself in front of his father.

He made up his mind, stood up without saying a word, picked up the thin armor on Mu Shi, and put it on his body seriously.

Zhao Wuyang was surprised, "What are you doing?"

"Escort!"

Zhao Wuyang laughed immediately, "Escort? You?! Hahaha, Yuan Xu, are you trying to laugh at me to death?! With your three-legged feline skills, escort?! You are clearly rushing to die!"

Yuan Xu didn't care about her sarcasm.

He put on his helmet in front of the bronze mirror, and picked up his saber.

There is a wine jar on the table.

He uncovered the mud seal, raised his head and poured most of it, then smashed the wine jar to the ground!

The handsome eyebrows are sharper than ever before.
