Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"There are weapons!"

The Lieutenant of the Forbidden Army reacted the quickest. Although the attacker's weapon was so fast that it was almost impossible to see what it was, he could guess it based on the force of the blow and the general attack movement - it was definitely two long guns!

Turtle, how did you fit two long guns into such a small compartment? !

Chapter 7 Tai'an City with many disasters and disasters (2)

The imperial guards at the gate of the Daxia Palace are not ordinary people. Although they are far inferior to the Dragon Guards in terms of combat effectiveness, they are also the elite among ordinary soldiers.

Facing the oncoming carriage, the imperial guards formed a small formation without hesitation. The captain stood at the front with his spear in hand, and the other soldiers followed closely behind.

The moment the carriage hit, the captain's whole body's attention was concentrated on the driver on the carriage and the carriage behind.

As he expected, the cold light flickered and went straight to his heart.At this moment, the soldiers behind him brandished their spears and stopped those two cold rays!

At this moment, the school captain has no worries at all.

He steadied his footsteps, his feet remained motionless as if they were nailed to the ground, then moved his waist and hips, and took a long gun from the comrade behind him. Holding a long gun in each hand, he clamped the two long guns under his armpit with all his strength, accompanied With a slight exhalation sound, the two horses bumped into the spears abruptly.

The huge impact almost knocked the captain's body over, but the two long spears remained motionless as if they were embedded in stones. The captain was using his own flesh and blood to compete with the speeding carriage. , blood spurted from his mouth, but the carriage was stopped abruptly!

The bodies of the two horses were pierced through the chest and died on the spot.

"in!"

Feeling that the impact from the carriage was rapidly disappearing, the captain was free to shout to his comrades behind him.

The imperial guards standing at the back of the formation immediately understood. They raised the spears in their hands above their heads, and then threw them vigorously!

Four spears pierced the coachman's body and the entire carriage.

The biggest duty of the imperial guards is to protect the safety of the palace, which is the first priority, and the second is to investigate the facts.The person in the car had already blatantly attacked his side before, so it couldn't be explained by an accident, but an undisguised attack.

In the face of such an attack, the safest thing is to let the enemy who made the attack die immediately.

After confirming that there was no movement inside, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard immediately rang the alarm bell at the gate of the palace, and then rushed up to check the carriage.

And the impaled coachman.

However, something that surprised them happened.

There's no one in the car, and the driver... has a strangle mark on his neck.

The strangle marks are new and, it seems, not a previous scar.The coachman didn't look like someone who could charge cavalry - although he looked like a typical working commoner who could do the job, there was no sign of using aura on his body, let alone playing with a long spear ...He is a man of his size, and he is good at heavy work, but it is impossible to be perfect with a long spear.

"Captain, just these things, nothing else."

The soldiers of the Imperial Army who searched the carriage pulled out what appeared to be several broken spears and showed them to their officers.

The captain looked down at the weapons.

"It's the kind of long gun that can be assembled in several pieces," the Imperial Guard frowned. "Hurry up, the people in the car may have already sneaked into the palace! Ring the emergency alarm three times!"

Three urgent tones, that is, three quick and quick knocks on the alarm bell, is equivalent to notifying the palace people that the enemy may have entered the palace, and reminding all the armed forces in the palace to be vigilant and search.

......................

in the palace.

Qin Ji stood up when he heard the three urgent tones of the alarm.

Xia Yuxiao, who was working, also raised her head and listened to the bell: "It's really here."

"Your Majesty already expected something to happen today?" Qin Ji asked suspiciously.

He didn't tell Xia Yuxiao that someone might come today, Xia Yuxiao has no reason to predict that she will be attacked, right?

"That's not true, it's just that, judging by your state today, it doesn't look like you're fine." Xia Yuxiao looked Qin Ji up and down, "You're not so vigilant on weekdays."

"I see. In the eyes of His Majesty, am I so lax?" Qin Ji smiled.

"That's not true. If you were slack, you wouldn't find me such a high-quality bait to catch big fish, don't you think?"

Xia Yuxiao said such a sentence abruptly.

Qin Ji paused for a moment, then looked at Xia Yuxiao.

Xia Yuxiao was still sitting gracefully in her seat at this moment, looking at him calmly with those golden eyes, as if everything didn't matter in front of her.

"Why do you think so?"

"The state of the imperial guards is much more tense these days than before, and Lingyan is rarely by your side these days. Considering that the scum of the Devil's Cult has not been arrested yet, and you are constantly strengthening your defenses around me, it is only possible You know I'm going to be attacked these days. Or at least you think I'm going to be attacked."

"In addition, I didn't expect you to collude with Song Jingqing. Are you worried that I will hinder your actions after learning that I will be used as a bait? Or are you worried that my unnatural response will cause the enemy to ambush in the palace?" Pile's vigilance?"

At this moment, Qin Ji saw the feeling in Xia Yuxiao's eyes as if he was playing with prey.

Originally, everything should be kept secret, whether it is Linwei or Suilongwei, in order to ensure that Xia Yuxiao's response is absolutely natural and does not arouse the vigilance of the traitor, neither he nor Song Jingqing let Xia Yuxiao know about this matter, and, As for the orders from Huilin and Suilongwei, they also directly issued specific tasks instead of telling the entire task target, also to prevent ghosts.

However, Xia Yuxiao knew...

"The Great Xia court has Huilin and Suilongwei, and the enemy is also planting ghosts here." Xia Yuxiao put the pen aside, "So, I also have other places besides Suilongwei and Huilin. There are other ways to get information."

When Xia Yuxiao said this, she looked thoughtfully at Sui Longwei outside.

Whether it is Suilongwei or Gray Scale, one is for guarding and the other is for purging.But besides this, Xia Yuxiao has another team of her own.

This team does not have the strong combat capability of Suilongwei, nor does it have the arresting and investigation capabilities of Huilin Office, but it can at least guarantee the supervision of core officials.

Most of the time, if you know some details about the palace, you can get a lot of information indirectly. Therefore, Xia Yuxiao has a lot of eyes in the palace. Maybe these people don't have the ability to directly compete with the ministers, but she can get through them. eyes and draw their own answers.

Qin Ji was not surprised by this.

Xia Yuxiao is an emperor, and her position was also won by force. She is very familiar with this kind of affairs.

"Then what about now, is your majesty going to take me down and discuss the crime?"

Qin Ji asked in a relaxed tone.

"Hmph," Xia Yuxiao waved her hand, "That's not the case. I believe you won't harm me. Since it's to catch the Demon Sect, it's fine if I sacrifice myself a little bit."

Although what Qin Ji did was a private decision without permission, Xia Yuxiao really hoped that the matter of the remaining members of the Demon Cult could be resolved as soon as possible.

At this time, she felt that it was safer to trust her family members.

Chapter 8 The city of Tai'an in troubled times (3)

"It's nice of you to understand."

Qin Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

A normal person might be very angry when faced with such a thing, because this is a real bet on his life, not to mention that Xia Yuxiao is still an emperor.

However, after being in contact for such a long time, Qin Ji can be considered to know a little bit about his majesty's character. If this behavior has the possibility of solving the problem for her, she doesn't mind trying it in a low-risk situation. Last try.

What's more, behind her, there are many people who are behind her, including Qin Ji.

"So, my honorable husband, you should be ready to fight now, right?" Xia Yuxiao asked with a smile.

"That's natural."

Qin Ji pulled out the Ring Shou Dao from his waist, and then went straight to the door: "You can hide first, and hide in a safe place. Anyway, the enemy has already taken the bait. At this time, safety is the most important thing."

"Hiding? At this time, hiding is the most dangerous thing. These demon cultists used all kinds of strange methods when they were besieged and suppressed. It is easier to die by hiding alone."

Xia Yuxiao is very aware of this fact. She has done a lot of homework on the Demon Sect. After all, it was these people who almost brought down half of Daxia back then. The incident also became the source of the country's internal affairs chaos.

The exercises mastered by these members of the Demon Cult are very strange, and they cannot be guessed by ordinary people. In order to improve the efficiency of infiltration, some even choose to practice the exercises that cripple themselves, and some even spend their entire lives. To practice a move hard is to kill a person.

They should not be dealt with in an ordinary manner.

"Then please follow me, Your Majesty."

Qin Ji said.

At this moment, an imperial guard quickly ran up to the two of them.

"Report to Your Majesty and Taiwei, according to the previous news, the imperial army intercepted the carriage, but did not find any attackers."

"No one alive?"

Qin Ji immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Yes."

"Okay, I get it."

Qin Ji shrugged helplessly.

Watching the imperial army leave, Qin Ji turned his head and looked at Xia Yuxiao.

"Your Majesty, stay away from me later."

He reminded so.

Faced with such a reminder from him, Xia Yuxiao didn't understand why, but considering that Qin Ji was still experienced in this field after all, she didn't say much.

Qin Ji looked at the distance between her and himself, and after confirming that the distance was basically no problem, he walked out the door.

Here, he can overlook half of the palace, if the other party came to assassinate by flying over the eaves and walking over the walls...

and many more......

The moment Qin Ji thought of "flying over the eaves and walking the wall", he immediately realized a more serious possibility.

He turned around without hesitation, and went straight to Xia Yuxiao who was still in the room!

And at the same time he rushed towards Xia Yuxiao, the solid roof above Xia Yuxiao's head was completely broken, and a figure jumped down from it.

The gleaming long spear went straight to Xia Yuxiao, this killer who didn't follow the rules at all was even about to succeed.

at this time......

"boom!"

A figure flew by from a distance, and then accurately smashed into the roof.

The assassin was knocked sideways, and the spear completely lost its aim, and landed on the ground in front of Xia Yuxiao.

The moment the assassin missed, Qin Ji had pulled Xia Yuxiao behind him.

"Huh...sorry for being late, Your Majesty."

Song Jingqing calmly patted off the dust on her body, and then said.
