The music is loud and the dance is beautiful.
The wine is good, and the food is also good. As both the owners of Xichuan, Li Hongxin and Wei Shu toasted to Qining frequently.
Qining's table was in the living room, but it was close to the main entrance, so it was easy to see the singing and dancing outside, while the officials and gentry were all seated outside.
Qining thought to himself that it was lucky that it was spring. If it were winter, he didn't know how these people would feel sitting outside.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Hongxin suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think of this dance, Lord Marquis?"
"Not bad." Qining said with a smile.
Li Hongxin said with a smile: "This is an appetizer. I have invited a theater troupe over. After the banquet is over, we can still listen to the opera. I just don't know if the Marquis likes it?"
"The things that Your Majesty likes must be very particular." Qining said with a smile: "I'm afraid I don't understand. Your Majesty will explain it to me more later."
Eve sat next to Qining, and she was a little nervous at first. After all, there were so many officials and gentry present, and the pomp was huge. She had never seen it before.
But she never looked at Li Hongxin from beginning to end.
Li Yuan killed several Miao people in Heiyan Cave indiscriminately, and cut off the heads of Ya Gan and sent them to the mountain. Naturally, Heiyan Cave and the Shu Palace formed a blood feud.
After three rounds of drinking, another batch of kabuki dancers were changed. For this banquet, Li Hongxin invited kabuki dancers who are also famous in Chengdu. For a time, they were red, green, thin, singing and dancing, attracting the attention of most people present.
He glanced at Li Hongxin and saw that Li Hongxin was watching the singing and dancing with great interest. He was holding a wine glass in his hand and lowered his head to drink. Suddenly he frowned and saw that he suddenly looked up. The music stopped at this moment. At this moment, a "click" sound was heard, and the roof of the building split open. A man covered with a black scarf fell from the sky, and a long sword in his hand turned out to stab Li Hongxin hard.
At this time, most people's eyes were still attracted by the singing and dancing, and many people were still whispering and criticizing. No one noticed the sudden change here.
Ximen Changshi sat under Li Hongxin, his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "There is an assassin!"
When he said there was an assassin, he had already pushed Li Hongxin away immediately. When he saw Li Hongxin being pushed away, the sharp sword suddenly turned and stabbed Ximen Hengye.
Ximen Hengye screamed strangely, flew back, and shouted: "Protect the prince and the marquis!"
The assassin forced Ximen Hengye back with a sword. At this time, he had already landed on the chair. He drew his sword sideways and stabbed Li Hongxin. The sword technique was strange, fast and urgent.
Li Hongxin's expression changed greatly at this time. He was suddenly pushed by Ximen Hengye. Before he could stand still, the long sword came. He took several steps back. The sword flashed and actually stabbed Li Hongxin's shoulder. Blood spurted out. out.
Amidst the music, some people had already reacted, and some even shouted loudly: "There are assassins, there are assassins!"
This sudden change also frightened Qi Ning. He immediately protected Eve behind him. When he saw Li Hongxin was stabbed in the shoulder by the assassin, he fell to the ground. He was almost rolling and crawling to dodge the assassin's sword. He was dignified. The king looked extremely embarrassed at the moment.
At this moment, the sound of cracking was heard from the roof, and another person fell from above. This time, the target was directly at Qining.
Qi Ning was well prepared, holding Eve's hand and retreating quickly, but the assassin was like a tiger descending the mountain, pursuing Qi Ning with a sharp sword.
Qi Ning grabbed a chair and threw it at the man. The man swung his long sword, the light of the sword was like lightning, and cut the chair in half. He then thrust his sword and stabbed Qi Ning again.
"Protect the Marquis, protect the Prince!" Ximen Hengye shouted twice. Seeing Li Hongxin's critical situation, he picked up a chair and threw it at Li Hongxin's assassin.
Li Hongxin looked embarrassed and angry, with blood streaming from his shoulders. When he saw Ximen Hengye entangled with the assassin, he immediately distanced himself from the assassin.
Qi Ning was using his bare hands, but the assassin drew his sword one after another. The eyes under the mask were unusually cold, and the sword was ruthless and ruthless. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Qi Ning.
The assassin suddenly appeared, and the early officials in the yard were already panicking. Most of them were looking for a place to hide, and they were in a mess.
When many generals entered the Jianjia Hall, they could not carry weapons and were bare-handed. However, seeing the critical situation, several people picked up their chairs and rushed towards the room.
Qining was defenseless and unable to fight back. He held Eve's hand and backed away. Seeing that the assassin was too fierce, he suddenly let go of Eve's hand. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward diagonally. It was Xiaoyao Xing who walked around to the side. The fist hit the assassin. The assassin moved quickly and dodged lightly, and stabbed Qining diagonally with his sword.
Qi Ning's expression was grim, and he turned around and passed by again. The assassin obviously did not expect that Qi Ning's kung fu was so good. He shouted lowly and fired three swords in a row, but Qi Ning dodged them all.
At this moment, he heard Eve's exclamation from behind him. Qining felt a sudden strong wind behind him and was about to turn around. However, the assassin in front of him stabbed him with his sword again, even faster. Ning felt chills in his heart, knowing that he was being attacked from both sides. Both of these two men were extremely skilled in swordsmanship. If he had a sword in his hand, he might be able to fight, but with bare hands, it would be difficult to deal with them both at the same time.
Suddenly hearing an exclamation, Qi Ning felt that something was wrong. He roared, but his body dwarfed. The sword in front of him was stabbed through his head. Qi Ning also took this opportunity and stepped forward. Bully, gather energy on his fist, punch out, and reach out with the other hand to snatch the sword from the opponent's hand. The opponent's body is moving forward, almost hitting Qining's fist. The force of this punch Absolutely, the man was immediately knocked away by the punch, and Qining snatched the sword from his hand almost the moment he flew out.
Qi Ning fought off the assassin with one punch, but felt that the sharp wind that was coming from behind disappeared. He turned around and his expression changed drastically.
He only saw Eve standing behind him, with his back to him. Opposite Eve, there was a masked assassin, and a long sword in his hand actually pierced Eve's body.
The assassin obviously didn't expect to be blocked by Eve, but he was a little stunned at this time.
Qining felt his mind went blank for a moment and his whole body felt dizzy.
At this time, the generals who rushed in from outside saw the situation here and rushed over with loud shouts. The assassin saw that the situation was not good, drew his sword, turned around and left.
Qi Ning's eyes were split open, and he shouted sternly: "Stay!" He suddenly raised his hand, and the long sword in his hand had shot out like a meteor.
He struck out with all his strength. When the assassin saw the long sword flying towards him, he raised his sword to block it. With a "choking" sound, the two swords struck each other. The assassin obviously did not expect that Qining was young but had strong internal strength and a surging force. The surging power penetrated from the arms straight into the body. The whole body was collided by this powerful internal force, as if it was about to be torn apart. The sword could no longer be held in his hand and fell from his hand.
Several generals shouted and rushed forward, surrounding the assassin.
However, Qining had already taken two steps forward and hugged Eve who was about to fall. He saw that Eve's face was pale, her clothes were stained with blood, and she was inconsolable for a moment.
Of course he already understood that the two assassins were attacking one after the other, and they cooperated skillfully. Eve saw someone attacking from behind, and she stepped forward to stop the assassin who attacked from behind. However, the assassin's swordsmanship was too good, and Yifu Fu's martial arts skills were mediocre, but she was actually injured by an assassin.
Qi Ning didn't care about the assassin at all at this time. He hugged Eve and said sternly: "Doctor, call the doctor quickly!"
The embarrassed Li Hongxin assassin had also escaped and rushed forward. When he saw the blood-stained Eve in Qining's arms, he immediately shouted: "Quick, please doctor, please doctor!"
Qining thought of something and shook his head: "No, we can't wait. I have to take her to the hospital now, prepare a car, and go to the hospital...!"
Li Hongxin shouted: "Hurry and prepare the car to take Mr. Marquis to the hospital."
Qining hugged Eve and felt weak all over. However, under the protection of several people, he left the Jianjia Pavilion. Someone had already prepared the car in a hurry. Qining hugged Eve and got into the carriage. Eve opened her eyes slightly. Opening his eyes, his breath was weak, and he saw Qining's eyes were blood red, with tears in the corners of his eyes. He wanted to raise his hands, but felt weak, so he forced a smile and said: "Little... little brother, what are you doing... why are you crying...?" "
Qining shook his head and choked: "No, Sister Eve, you... why are you doing this...!"
"You said... you said you wanted to marry me, you are... my lover brother, I... I naturally... naturally can't see you die...!" Eve's breath was weak, but she still whispered: "You... don't cry, I... I won’t die…!”
She was penetrated by a sharp sword, and Qining didn't know whether it was critical or not, but looking at her pale face and cold body, she knew it was more serious than bad.
"I said I would protect you for the rest of my life...!" Qin Ning burst into tears, "But in the end it was me who got you involved. Chengdu is extremely dangerous, and I knew a long time ago that I shouldn't have brought you here...!"
Seeing Qi Ning's annoyance, Eve raised her hand again, only halfway up, but unable to pick it up. Qin Ning grabbed her hand and felt that Eve's hand was cold, and her heart was even colder to the bone.
"I'm... beside you, so happy...!" A smile appeared on Eve's lips that overflowed with blood: "Being with you... Being with you these days, I... I'm very happy, but...!" Her body suddenly shook. Trembling, blood gushed out of her mouth again, a look of pain appeared on her brows, but she still held back and said: "Little... little brother, I... I can't... be your wife, you... don't be sad, if I... When I die, you cry, and then... then forget about me... just forget about me...!"
Qi Ning's heart felt like a knife, and he put his face against Eve's pretty face and said: "You remember what you said, you said you would give me an explanation. This is the most beautiful agreement I have ever heard. Miao people keep their word. , so you can’t lie to me. If you lie to me, I won’t forgive you...!”
Eve closed her eyes, but tears were already rolling out of the corners of her eyes.
