That was close! I got it!
I let out a breath of joy, and Yueze turned around in alarm. At this moment, I suddenly felt my shoulder sink as the longsword in my hand clanged and fell to the ground!
NND, this projectile was actually a link sleeve! When I blocked it with my sword, it suddenly turned into two flying scythes. One of the scythes stabbed into my shoulder with a 'chi' sound. I immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain!
"Ah …"
I staggered a step, my vision blurred, and I fell diagonally.
In my ears, I heard Yueze give a sharp cry of alarm, and then he rushed over and held me up.
My shoulders felt numb.
"Lian'er? Are you all right? "Someone come quick, catch the assassin …"
There was a hubbub outside the pavilion, and my heart clenched... Was there really an assassin this time?
"It hurts …"
"Be careful, your wound is poisonous!"
Yueze immediately bent down to examine my wound. There was black blood on the wound, and it must have been poisoned by a hidden weapon.
Yue Ze's finger quickly pressed a few acupoints on my body to stop the poison from attacking my heart. His voice was urgent, but it was also painful. "Lian'er, why did you help me block …"
"I, I just …"
I wanted to say something, but the numbness spread quickly to my chest.
Sigh, should I tell him that my original intention at that time was only to block it for him with my sword? I didn't think that I would be so unlucky as to be hit by a chain of hidden weapons, and even be poisoned!
Very soon, Yue Ze's guards rushed in. They were slightly surprised to see me, but very soon they threw themselves into battle. As expected, the black-clothed assassin did not go far. He began to fight with the guards.
"Capture him alive, we need the antidote!" After giving the order, the sounds of fighting became even louder.
I struggled to raise my head and look at the silhouette of the assassin not far away.
Ah, that figure is so familiar. It was actually Ran Mo!
He fought with all his might and finally got rid of a few guards. Then, he rushed towards me!
Even though his face was covered by a black cloth, his thin figure and agile sword techniques were all familiar to me.
Why did Ran Mo want to assassinate the Emperor? What was he trying to do?
I was worried that my guards would hurt him, but I was also afraid that I wouldn't be able to let him escape. At this moment, Ran Mo had already rushed in front of me. He pointed his sword towards Yue Ze, who shielded me and quickly kicked him! At this moment, Yue Ze raised his hand and pressed down on a wooden handle of the pavilion. Immediately, a large iron wire net fell from the sky, enveloping him within it!
"Don't kill him!" I screamed and struggled forward.
Yue Ze raised his hand, and the guards finally stopped their attacks.
The black cloth on his face was torn off. He looked at me with extreme anxiety. "The antidote is in my sleeve. Take all three of them. Hurry!"
Yueze stepped forward and quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his ink pocket. He took out some medicine and fed it to me.
The numbness in my shoulders lessened, the pain lessened, but Ran Mo became a prisoner.
I looked at him reproachfully. "Why have you come? Didn't you already escape? And why did you do it!? You clearly know that we, the Bai Family, cannot betray the Imperial Family! "
The youth lowered his head, his eyes a little red. He stubbornly said, "General, I'm here to save you!"
This child...
My heart warmed as I sighed, "Are you stupid? This is the imperial palace. How could you succeed?"
Ran Mo raised his head and looked at Yue Ze unhappily before lowering his head again. "I was clearly short of a moment ago, and I was able to capture the emperor as a hostage! If not for you, General, I would have succeeded long ago! "
He is a little wronged, and I am a little vexed... Sigh, I didn't know it was your concealed weapon just now! Otherwise, I will go with you and capture the Emperor …
However, I couldn't say these words directly to him, so I could only sigh, "You're really stupid … You'll lose your life just like that, don't you know? "
"My life was saved by the general. If I were to die for the general, it would be natural …"
Everyone, I really want to strangle him!
I fiercely glared at him and turned around. I struggled to kneel towards Yueze. "Your Majesty, he is mine. I must trouble Your Majesty to be merciful and spare his life …"
Yueze didn't seem to want to give me face, so I panicked and rushed over to grab his sleeve.
Then the pain in my shoulder intensified, and I slumped into his arms.
Yue Ze was moved. "Lian'er …"
I looked up at him. "Ze, please! I beg you to let Ran Mo go, and let my family go! "
I looked at him mournfully. I knew that it was easiest to ask him for mercy at this time.
You see, I got hurt for him, I almost died for him, I'm so pitiful and so cute...
The fox tribe's charm couldn't be underestimated. Yue Ze was finally moved, and he hesitantly nodded his head.
However, as if he had made a great decision, he said to me, "I can agree to your request, but there is one person who must die here!"
"Who?" I was startled.
"You."
"Huh?"
I stared with wide eyes at the young monarch, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
What do you mean? You want me to die?
I didn't have time to react. Then I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and then the darkness hit me and I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, things had changed.
General Bai Lian's conspiracy was reversed, and all of the Bai clansmen were released, returning their properties that they had copied before and regaining their title as a god. However, it was impossible to return the military power that they had taken back, so the emperor reorganized the Bai clansmen, dismantled their original arrangement, and dispersed them into the troops controlled by the royal family. Although the Bai Clan had lost their military power, to be able to restore their reputation and regain their honor in such a short period of time was considered one of the luckiest things that could happen to them. The only person who had been injured in this incident was General Bai Lian … General Bai Lian, who had been out fighting for many years, had many old wounds. This time, he was unlucky enough to catch a bad disease in prison and died in vain after being rescued.
At this point, the huge incident that had alarmed the people of Nan Yu had finally been resolved.
After the death of General Bai Lian, the emperor was deeply saddened. He gave him the title of the first-class protector of the kingdom, and buried him in his own grave. On the day of the funeral, it was said that all the citizens of the imperial city sent their generals off on their own. At that time, it was really the same for the entire country.
In other words, when I woke up, the legendary general had already died. General Bai Lian, that legendary man, he has been killed by the Emperor in history. The only one who remained behind was me, I am currently the female official of the Longsong Palace, Ah Bao.
Remember what Yueze said to me when I woke up... He looked at me with a smile and said gently, "Bai Lian, if you want to continue to live, you have to abandon your former identity and stay by my side. After that, you can't call yourself Bai Lian anymore. You have to abandon your past completely and forget about it. "
Forget it, I can't remember much; besides, I'm a man who has always been at ease and has a thick skin.
I asked him, "Since I can't call myself Bai Lian, what should I call myself in the future?"
