ruthless plan to cut off the way back
Qi Yan was horrified, and there were three people standing near the pillar, and these three people were all familiar to him!
They are Chen Chuansi, the head of the chambermaid, Qiu Ju, the female official in charge of the inner court, and Xia He, the female official in charge of the Chengchao Palace. These three people can be said to be the most personal palace servants around him and Nangong Jingnu, who are in charge of the two. All the diet and daily life, how could the three of them appear together here
Qi Yan couldn't believe her eyes, the masked man was so confident, she had long suspected that Nangong Jingnu or her side was "unclean", but she never thought that there would be three!
Qi Yan was planning to go back quietly and make plans, but Qi Yan suddenly thought of a possibility!
This thought exploded in Qi Yan's heart like a thunderbolt, and the fear of being dominated by the masked man after a long absence, once again swept through his heart...
Blindfolding!
Over the years, the masked man has been like an invisible mountain in Qi Yan's heart, surrounded by fascinated clouds, so unattainable and insurmountable.
In the days when Qi Yan was eager for revenge, this feeling gave Qi Yan unlimited motivation and made her firmly believe that as long as she learned the skills from the masked man and obeyed her arrangement, she would be able to succeed in revenge.
But... to this day, Qi Yan stood on the opposite side of the masked man, and the mountain was so overwhelming that he could hardly breathe!
Qi Yan looked at the three people next to the pillar and felt that all her thoughts had been understood by the masked man, but she could only guess the tip of the iceberg what the other party thought.
The three people in front of them may be the piles that the masked people placed in the inner court, or not one of them, it is more likely that at least one of the three of them is, and the rest is just a trick.
Qi Yan didn't know how the masked man's stubs coaxed other people to come here, let alone why there was no guard at the entrance of Nangong Jingnu's bedroom, but Qi Yan wanted to understand one thing: although these three people were all servants Identity, but on the premise that he does not reveal his identity, even the imperial husband has no way to punish them all at once. It is impossible for Nangong Jingnu to agree!
In other words... The masked man did fulfill her promise, but at the same time he anticipated the possibility that he would betray her, and took effective precautions.
Unless Nangong Jingnu was already dead at this time, it would be useless for Qi Yan to see the so-called "pile".
If he rashly attacked the three most important palace servants in the inner court, he would attract the suspicion of Nangong Jingnu!
In the darkness, Qi Yan clenched his fist tightly, what a ruthless person!
At the same time, Qi Yan has also strengthened her determination to find the masked person. With such a person lurking in the dark, the safety of Nangong Jingnv and Wei Guo Sheji will be in danger of overturning at any time. Progress, but still not the opponent of the masked man.
Anyway, he has already decided to confess his identity, right
What's so scary about that? !
Qi Yan slowly loosened his fists, took a deep breath and walked out of the darkness.
The first person to discover Qi Yan was Xia He, the female official in charge of the Chengchao Palace. Xia He let out a "huh" and asked in surprise, "Da Gong, how are you...?"
Qiu Ju and Chen Chuansi asked An Dao, "See Da Gong."
Qi Yan: "What are you doing here?"
The three of them were silent for a moment, but Qiu Ju replied, "O Palace, there is something this servant should say or not."
Qi Yan: "Go ahead."
Qiu Ju: "I also ask Omiya to forgive the slaves and maids for taking the liberty. At this juncture, you should not do anything wrong."
The original meaning of this sentence is: During the national mourning period, I shouldn't be in the same room with Nangong Jingnv, but ... Qi Yan's ears seem to mean something else
Qi Yan kept calm and asked, "Why is there no one serving at the door? Where is the person?"
Xia He replied: "Master, it was the slave servant who sent all the servants on his own initiative, slave servant... Seeing that Da Gong has entered the dormitory for a long time, I am afraid that they will be looked at by these people below. It's not easy for us to investigate."
Qi Yan asked again, "Then why don't you three stay at the door? What are you doing here?"
This time, it was Chen Chuansi who answered, "Reporting to Ogong, those of us who are slaves should not talk about the master's private affairs. Although the slaves have made mistakes, they are loyal. I also ask Ogong to forgive me."
Qiu Ju grabbed the white and said: "It was the servant who was worried that he would have avoided discussing this matter outside the palace, and collided with His Majesty and the palace, so he suggested a quiet place."
Before Qi Yan could speak, Xia Heran exclaimed, "Oh my god, is the water gone?!"
Qi Yan looked back, and a red light pierced the sky in the direction of the main hall of Ganquan Palace, accompanied by the sound of explosions.
Oops! Tune the tiger away from the mountain!
This red light is not water, but a sky-shooting arrow developed by Sifang Qianzhuang! The signal was sent by Qian Tong, someone was assassinating Nangong Jingnu!
Qi Yan picked up the hem of the palace dress and ran in the direction of the main hall, Xia Hexia shouted from behind, "Da Gong, be careful!"
The three also followed Qi Yan to the direction of the main hall. On the other side, there was a team of soldiers from Youzhou Prefecture hidden in the second palace wall of Ganquan Palace. The 100 guards personally selected by Gongyanghuai also saw Ganquan. Changes in the palace.
Gongyanghuai's drunkenness had long since disappeared, he pulled out the sword from his waist: "Brothers, come with me!"
There was a sound of fighting in the bedroom of Ganquan Palace, Qi Yan pushed open the door and rushed in, only to see two men in black lying in the bedroom, with two pools of blood under them, and two others fighting with Qian Tong , one of them saw Qi Yan come in and wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but was blocked by Qian Tong's long sword!
Qi Yan: "Qian Tong, don't let one go, live or die!"
Qian Tong: "Yes!"
It wasn't that Qi Yan didn't want to catch the murderer, but he was worried that if Qian Tong showed mercy, the assassin would take the opportunity to escape. Anyway, he knew the mastermind behind the scenes, so it wouldn't matter if he didn't have the murderer, but if he let an assassin escape and report to the masked man, then all the All your efforts are in vain!
Without this concern, Qian Tong's moves became more and more severe, and every blow was a killer move! Qi Yan quickly found out that the two surviving assassins were not professional killers, but ordinary people with relatively better skills.
Qi Yan picked up a round stool and went around the screen. She glanced at the bed. Nangong Jingnu was unharmed and slept soundly.
Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, put the round stool in front of her, and used her body to cast the last barrier for Nangong Jingnu.
A few more rounds passed, a blood splashed on the screen, and the sound of fighting stopped.
Qian Tong came to Qi Yan's side, dropped the blood-stained sword and knelt down on one knee: "Master, the assassins have all been resolved!"
The other three also rushed over. Xia He saw the blood in the room and screamed and passed out, and was hugged by Chen Chuansi. Qiu Ju's face was pale, and she held on to the door frame for a while to stabilize her figure, and then Staggeringly, he ran towards Nangong Jingnu: "Your Majesty!"
Qi Yan shouted sharply, "Stop!"
Qiu Ju looked at Qi Yan puzzled, but did not stop at her feet.
Qi Yan didn't speak any more, she rounded the stool and smashed Qiu Ju directly to the ground.
Qi Yan: "Qian Tong, go and bring the two of them under control, and kill them immediately if there is any change!"
Qian Tong: "Yes."
Chen Chuansi collapsed to the ground in fright: "Da Gong, what are you doing?"
Qiu Ju lay on the ground, weeping, and shouted: "Damong, you are... Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Holding a round stool, Qi Yan retreated to Nangong Jingnv's bedside facing Qiu Ju, raised her hand to probe Nangong Jingnv's breath, and was completely relieved.
Qi Yan: "Sister Qiu Ju, I have offended you."
The sound of weapons colliding with armor came from the courtyard, and Qiu Ju shouted hysterically, "Come here, escort!"
Gongyanghuai: "Enclose the yard for me, and no one is allowed to go out!"
Everyone: "Yes!"
Gongyanghuai: "You two stay here, I'll go in and have a look."
Guard: "Yes."
Gongyanghuai came in alone, saw the mess in the hall, and his legs softened: "Your Majesty!"
Gongyanghuai: "Yuanjun, what's going on, your majesty she, majesty she..."
Qi Yan remained calm and observed the expressions of the other three in the arena. Xia He was dizzy, Qiu Ju cried bitterly, and Chen Chuansi seemed to be scared out of her wits...
When Gongyanghuai approached, Qi Yan pulled him behind the screen, blocked his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, she... This matter must be kept secret and must not be publicized. !"
Gongyanghuai's eyes were rounded, but she saw that Nangong Jingnu's chest was still up and down, and she felt Qi Yan grabbing her arm hard, and she understood.
Qi Yan slowly let go of her hand, Gongyang Huai replied, "...Don't worry, the palace has been under my control, and the news will not leak."
Qiu Ju was the closest, and after listening to the two of them talking like this, she thought that Nangong Jingnu had been killed, and burst into tears.
When Qi Yan hit her with a heavy hand, Qiu Ju was injured and lay on the ground, unable to get up, but she glared at Qi Yan angrily and scolded, "You scoundrel! Why are you doing this? Your Majesty treats you badly! You will come down. Hell, Qi Yan! Kill me too!"
Qiu Ju's shouts floated far away from the bedroom, especially in the silent night.
Gongyanghuai ordered Qiu Ju, Xia He, and Chen Chuansi to be tied up and locked up in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, and he was sent to guard him. I personally tore off the black masks of the four assassins, one of the two men and two women seemed to have seen it somewhere...
After seeing the assassin's face, Qian Tong showed an incredible expression.
He came to Qi Yan's side and whispered in Qi Yan's ear: "Master, these four people are all from the Chengchao Palace..."
Hearing this, Qi Yan's head fell into a brief blank with a "hum", and when he came back to his senses, his face was extremely ugly.
It was clearly the idea of sacrificing his own chess piece if he was unsuccessful, completely blocking his retreat...
Qi Yan calmed down: "I see, find a few people to drag their bodies down, don't deal with them yet."
Qian Tong: "Yes."
Only the sleeping Nangong Jingnv, Gongyanghuai and Qi Yan were left in the hall, as well as a few pools of blood on the ground...
Gongyanghuai closed the doors and windows and pulled Qi Yan aside: "What's going on?"
Qi Yan: "This inner court is not clean. Qiu Ju, Xia He, and Chen Chuansi are all suspects. I feed your majesty and take medicine, and I won't wake up for three days. Give me three days, and I want your full cooperation. I, don't ask anything in the meantime."
