One, two, three...
Lanterns in the dark are like stars in the night sky, emitting a warm and peaceful light.
Especially in such a Shura field, which is full of blood and screams, as if someone will take his life in the next moment.
"It's okay, I'm okay, great! Dad! Mom! Are you okay?"
"Blood, husband, why are you bleeding? What? Isn't this your blood? Great, you scared me to death!"
"Brother, it's okay. Ling'er is okay. How are you and brother Yuan Jin?"
…
The chaos quickly subsided after the lanterns were turned on. Some people hugged each other and cried, some cared about each other, and some were counting their family members.
Miraculously, except for some people who suffered bumps and scratches because they were too panicked, only three people suffered stab wounds, and the wounds were not deep.
In fact, even though they were in darkness, they noticed someone walking around them.
At least several people claimed that they had been rescued after the lights came on.
"The knife almost fell on me. Fortunately, fortunately, His Highness Zhaoming's people came quickly..."
"No, I was forced under the table, thinking that I wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
"It's so abominable. Where did these assassins come from? Can't you just say this properly? Even if you don't care about your own life, you still want to attack innocent people like us."
…
The people here were still commenting on the assassins and easing their fear of going to hell. Qin Zhui over there had already begun to direct people to move the assassins' bodies.
"I told you to be gentle when you start. It's OK to kill him, but don't cut off his arms and legs! We have to find his stumps when we move him away. Doesn't this delay things?"
"What? You said this was your fault, master? Okay, that's fine."
Qin Zhui looked at Qi Xiao in front of him with an awkward smile, wondering when his master was so kind and learned to take the blame for his subordinates?
If others don't know his swordsmanship, doesn't he know it?
But the master has said so, so he has to admit it.
Only Qi Xiao glanced sideways at Feng Xi beside him. It was hard to tell whether the look in his eyes was helplessness or a sigh.
He had long known that tonight's banquet would not be peaceful, so he also packed in a lot of people when he bought servants a few days before the eldest princess's mansion to ensure that no one would die at the banquet.
Judging from the skills and reaction speed of those assassins just now, they are by no means elites, but just fledgling warriors.
He can't even be called a dead soldier, but is very similar to a word Feng Xi once said - cannon fodder.
Their main purpose seems to be to assassinate Feng Xi, but in fact it is to spread the news that the people behind him want them to spread, and at the same time to assassinate as many people as possible who come to the banquet.
This can be seen from the fact that although those people were the first to attack Feng Xi, they consciously spread around to find others.
At the same time, they basically didn't take action against the guests on the opposite side. He didn't believe there was any article in it.
It stands to reason that under such an arrangement, even if his people rescued in time to ensure that no one died, it was impossible for only a few people who were in the darkness and chaos to be injured.
The injuries sustained were minor injuries that could be basically ignored or could only take a few days to recover from.
Even the speed at which they clean up the assassins and light up the lanterns cannot be that fast.
Unless there is an invisible force intervening...
"What are you looking at me for? I didn't intentionally let them lose their arms and legs. Isn't it because the superpower has been useless for too long, and the attack power of the space system is too strong."
Feng. Invisible power. Xi said what can she do?
It’s difficult for her too!
You must know that just to cut off the assassin's head instead of cutting off Feng Jing's head as well, she used her brains!
How much CPU is consumed by the madman's brain?
"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful."
Qi Xiao smiled and pinched the back of Feng Xi's neck. It didn't look like he was saying she was the most powerful, but rather like he was saying she was the cutest.
However, Feng Xi always had a big heart, so she nodded seriously and said:
"Of course, don't worry, I will protect you from now on!"
Qi Xiao: "..."
Okay, his stomach is fine, but that doesn’t mean he can’t eat soft food, right?
But regardless of whether he is a soft rice or a hard rice, he feels that it is not appropriate for people to know the strength of his little Phoenix during this extraordinary period. After all, the opponent does not have no trump cards.
Therefore, he just naturally took the blame for Xiao Fenghuang's trembling hands, and after she pranked Feng Jing, he did something similar to Feng Jing.
No, Feng Jing over there was looking at him fiercely, her hair stuck to the side of her face soaked in blood, and she looked at him in embarrassment and resentment.
And just when everyone gradually calmed down and felt that today's events were over, a maid who had been squatting aside and trembling with fear suddenly stood up.
Her skills are obviously much better than those before.
If those people only had a foundation in martial arts, then she would be considered a little master.
Of course, if she had taken action with that group of people at that time, she might have been able to die a more heroic death than those people. With better luck, she could have caused more serious injuries to some noble people.
But she is smart!
She knew that the best time for her to take action was when the people in front of her felt they were safe.
It was said that the time, place, and people were favorable, and now she happened to be huddled right where the eldest princess was standing, with his back to her.
So she almost immediately got up, one hand wrapped around Feng Yunxuan's slender and white neck, and the other hand held a knife against Feng Yunxuan's throat.
"Don't come here! Put down the knives in your hands! Otherwise, I will kill her now!"
The maid's delicate face was distorted by the angry shouting, and her hand holding the knife was obviously shaking, but her eyes were unusually firm.
Especially when these pretty eyes looked at Feng Xi:
"Listen to me! If you don't want her to die, then trade that thief Zhaoming for it! I only want that thief Zhaoming's life and I will never harm anyone else present!"
When the maid said these words, the knife in her hand also moved a little closer to Feng Yunxuan's fair skin. Everyone saw the bright red blood slipping from Feng Yunxuan's neck, which was shockingly red.
For a moment, the woman's screams sounded again in the field, and the men's faces were equally ugly.
Not only them, but even Feng Yunxuan himself shrank his pupils, and his heart suddenly began to beat.
Who is this?
Is this the person arranged by her mother and concubine?
No, they couldn't arrange for such an uncertain person to act with her.
Because she was tightly restrained by the other party, she could clearly feel that the other party was not acting, but that the other party really wanted other people present to exchange Feng Xi for her as a hostage.
If Feng Xi cannot be replaced, the other party may really kill her...
