Li Qingxuan tried his best to squeeze forward. There were too many people, but at the speed of his slight steps, he was still able to squeeze to the front very quickly.
But suddenly, he caught sight of Long Qingfeng, the commander of the imperial army, tightening his grip on the hilt of his knife and quickly moving towards the west side of the square.
As the bodyguard of the empress, Long Qingfeng should protect the empress at all times at this time, so why did he leave suddenly.
Unless there is something that could threaten the empress.
Like an assassin or something like that.
Li Qingxuan had long heard that there were many opposing forces when the empress ascended the throne, and Daxia was surrounded by enemies.
If the empress dies at this time, it will be beneficial to all forces.
Originally, the life and death of the Empress of Great Xia had nothing to do with Li Qingxuan, but if there was trouble at the scene and someone assassinated the empress, then his wife, as the empress's maid, would most likely be accidentally injured.
Thinking of this, Li Qingxuan had to stop, then turned around and followed Long Qingfeng's direction.
now.
I saw Long Qingfeng walking into an alley, holding the handle of the knife tightly.
Although the sword was not unsheathed, for a master like him, it only took an instant for the sword to be drawn out.
"Dragon Commander."
Li Qingxuan said.
The next moment, the cold light flashed away.
Long Qingfeng swung his sword and slashed at Li Qingxuan.
Li Qingxuan hurriedly retreated, his body turned into an afterimage, and he avoided the sword light.
"It's me, Commander Long."
Li Qingxuan said hurriedly.
At the same time, he also tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
If the other party still takes action, then he will have to resist.
Although the opponent was at the pinnacle of the eighth level, Li Qingxuan was confident that with the killing sword, he might not be weaker than the opponent.
Only then did Long Qingfeng see Li Qingxuan's appearance clearly, and said in shock: "Why is it you?"
"I saw Commander Long coming here cautiously, so I couldn't help but follow him to take a look."
Long Qingfeng looked at Li Qingxuan suspiciously.
His sword strike just now was extremely fast, and it would be difficult for anyone of the same level to dodge it, but it was actually dodged by Li Qingxuan.
"Do you know martial arts?"
he asked in a deep voice.
"When I was chopping firewood, I sometimes chased rabbits, which was faster."
Li Qingxuan explained this.
There was still some doubt in Long Qingfeng's eyes, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he said anxiously: "You should leave quickly. There are gangsters who want to assassinate Your Majesty. They just entered this alley."
As an eighth-level peak person, Long Qingfeng has great confidence in his own skills.
But that means he is alone. If Li Qingxuan is added as a burden, his performance will be greatly affected.
"I..."
Li Qingxuan was about to speak when suddenly several figures appeared on the surrounding walls and at the ends of the alleys.
"Commander Long has such sharp eyes. You actually chased him here. In this case, don't leave."
A man in black with his face covered, who should be the leader of this group of people, looked at Long Qingfeng coldly.
"Eighth grade?"
Long Qingfeng instantly judged the opponent's strength, and his face looked a little ugly.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the opponent's strength. After all, Long Qingfeng, who was at the pinnacle of the eighth rank, could beat Elder Qian until he vomited blood. The ordinary eighth rank was not looked down upon by him at all.
But the problem is, these people all have crossbows in their hands.
This kind of hard crossbow not only has a long range, is powerful, but can also fire continuously.
Especially the black arrow, which shows that it has been quenched with poison.
Of course it doesn't matter if it's Long Qingfeng himself. With his strength, he can retreat easily.
But now that there is Li Qingxuan next to him, if he wants to protect Li Qingxuan from being shot, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult.
But he had no choice.
This Li Qingxuan is someone your Majesty knows. Although he does not know the relationship between Li Qingxuan and Your Majesty, he must not let him get hurt.
"Fire the arrow!"
The leader didn't waste any time and waved directly.
I saw people from all directions raising their crossbows, covering the two people in the field like locusts.
"Hide behind me."
Long Qingfeng shouted.
The long knife in his hand turned into a sword light, blocking all the flying arrows.
After Long Qingfeng blocked one round of arrows, he thought that the second round was coming soon, so he didn't dare to relax at all.
But after waiting for a long time, the second shot didn't come.
Looking up, he saw a white shadow approaching in a flash.
Then blood spurted out from the necks of the men in black, and then they fell to the ground one by one.
"Quickly retreat."
The masked leader's expression changed wildly, and he hurriedly withdrew.
When Li Qingxuan saw the white shadow, he felt relieved and knew that it was Yun Ling who took action.
Long Qingfeng's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
The killer was frightened back. Who was responsible?
As the emperor's personal guard, he knew that his majesty did not have such a master beside him.
The fierce sword light just now definitely reached the ninth level, and it was not the ninth level like Elder Qian who relied on his skills, but a master with very rich fighting experience.
In other words, he can beat Elder Qian until he vomits blood, but when he encounters this ninth-grade man, he can only drink his hatred.
"Do you know the master just now?"
Long Qingfeng looked at Li Qingxuan.
He always felt that the master seemed to be protecting Li Qingxuan.
"do not know."
Li Qingxuan shook his head decisively.
"real?"
Long Qingfeng didn't believe it.
But Li Qingxuan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
There is no doubt that this team of killers is here to assassinate the emperor. If not for their appearance, once the opponent sneaks into a position fifty steps away from the emperor and suddenly rebels, His Majesty the emperor, who does not know martial arts, is very likely to be killed. The assassination was successful.
Even if it fails, if His Majesty is assassinated in the capital, it will cause panic in the capital.
Li Qingxuan did not stay in the alley longer, he was rushing to see his wife.
His wife said she took off her mask, and Li Qingxuan was actually quite curious.
His wife always said that she was a stunning beauty. Of course Li Qingxuan believed that women are all so narcissistic.
Every woman in the world thinks so.
"Your Majesty, we just found a group of assassins in the alley. They were holding powerful crossbows. I request that the crowd be dispersed immediately to keep a sufficient distance between them and Your Majesty's dragon chariot."
Long Qingfeng came to the empress' chariot and reported in a low voice.
If the crowd is dispersed five hundred steps away, then the husband will not be able to see him.
Huazhi clenched the death-free gold medal in her hand. She had originally planned that if her husband recognized her today, she would give him the gold medal and confess her identity.
Although Yang Xuanji said that this would cause shock to the government and the public, Huazhi really didn't want to wait any longer.
"No need. Since they have already run away, they will probably not take action again."
After Huazhi finished speaking, he ordered Long Qingfeng to strengthen the guard and looked outside.
Just in time to see Li Qingxuan's eyes constantly scanning the crowd of palace maids, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
"This fool, don't you know how to look at yourself in the dragon chariot?"
"Isn't he curious at all about the legendary beautiful emperor who conquered the country?"
