After the Qiao family and Master Che left the imperial study, two eunuchs got the order and led them outside the palace.
During this period, Grand Master Che had always kept an appropriate distance from the Qiao family, as if he disdained to go with the Qiao family.
Qiao Jiaojiao rested her chin on her father's shoulder and looked at Grand Master Che behind her openly, her heart bubbling.
[This Grand Master Che...if used properly, its effect can be directly comparable to that of Uncle Zhou! Hehe, this way the royal family of the Northern Kingdom will be "blessed"! 】
It was already late at night, and in the weather at the end of August, the evening breeze blowing from the palace road was actually a bit cool.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but shudder, and Qiao Zhongguo immediately hugged her tightly.
[Why do you feel so hairy all over your body? There aren’t many lights on this palace road, so it’s quite scary to walk on it late at night...]
Qiao Jiaojiao murmured in her heart, and suddenly found that Master Che behind her had stopped without warning.
She frowned slightly, and immediately felt something was wrong. She straightened up and looked around like a keen deer.
"Dad, Grand Master Che is not leaving. Be careful of fraud!"
As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao finished speaking, there were sounds of machinery all around, and dozens of people appeared on the red walls on both sides of the palace road!
On the other side of the palace wall, a worried voice sounded:
"Master Captain, please think twice!"
"Since ancient times, the two countries have been at war without killing envoys. This envoy from the Yong Dynasty came to celebrate his birthday. If he died in the palace, he might provoke a war between the Yong Dynasty and Nanli. At that time, I would only fear that rivers of blood would flow. The people are in dire straits!”
A cold and stern voice then sounded:
"Asshole! Didn't you just say that? This envoy of the Yong Dynasty failed to assassinate the king. He has the eldest prince's waistband as evidence and ordered us to kill him on the spot!"
"But......"
This statement is really full of loopholes. Let’s not talk about how the Yong Dynasty envoy could escape safely after the assassination attempt. Who can assassinate others and still hold a child in their hands?
"Lord Captain, this matter should be reported to the Captain first - eh!"
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the person who spoke instantly lost his breath.
"Who else has objections? Act quickly! Otherwise, if we let the assassin go, all of us will die!"
All the Yulin troops behind the palace wall fell silent for an instant. The man known as the captain raised his lips coldly, and meaningfully rubbed the eldest prince's belt hanging on his waist.
It would be better for Yong Dynasty and Nanli to fight, after all, only in this way can the Northern Kingdom take advantage of it!
The young master gave the order to die. The Qiao family must die today!
"Fire the arrow!"
On the other side of the palace wall, Qiao Jiaojiao called out Gongde Mall with a solemn expression. At this time, Qiao Zhongguo gently bumped her head and said in a deep voice:
"Jiaojiao, don't be in a hurry to use your merits."
Hearing this, Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head, looked at her father, and then at her brother.
Good guy! Just hide it from her!
【ah! When Sister Meng and I left Huafang, my father and the others must have cooperated with Baili Chengyou! 】
Boo hoo hoo——
Sharp arrows flew towards him. Qiao Zhongguo protected Jiaojiao in his arms, and Qiao Bo protected Qiao Tianjing beside him. They tried hard to dodge, but they were able to hold on for a while.
Qiao Jiaojiao buried her head in Qiao Zhongguo's arms, trying not to move, and never holding back at the critical moment!
At this time, Grand Master Che was hiding in a corner, his face pale and "extremely frightened", as if he was frightened, huddled up and "forgot" to call for help.
However, when Grandmaster Che was working hard on his performance, he didn't even see a dark figure flash behind him, and he hurried to the imperial study room.
Qiao Tianjing's force level was weaker. Facing the dense flying arrows, he could take a breather under Qiao Bo's protection.
At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he noticed the dark shadow leaving behind Master Che, and felt a little relieved.
The Qiao family had indeed cooperated with Baili Chengyou. He was still afraid that Shen Yuanbai would not arrange for this assassination tonight!
Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but glance at Qiao Jiaojiao, who had shrunk into a little turtle in Qiao Zhongguo's arms.
The specialness shown by the little sister tonight in the other courtyard still stimulated Shen Yuanbai, otherwise today's plan may not have gone so smoothly!
Baili Chengyou, the Qiao family has given you the opportunity as agreed. You must hold on tightly to your position as the leader of the Nanli Kingdom!
————
At this time, the imperial study was also tense.
The king of the country looked at the three sons surrounding him, and at this moment he felt an angry and helpless feeling that all his efforts had been in vain.
He turned his head and shouted angrily at the Duke Guan who came to return his life:
"Then search! Dig three feet into the ground to dig them out! How can our Nanli country allow these outsiders to cause trouble!"
The eldest prince was still hopeful just now, but when he mentioned the silver bead, he was instantly discouraged, and at this moment, he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
The fact that his father drugged his wife this time made him see clearly his father's preference and liking for his second brother. He had been forced to a dead end, so he secretly planned a big event.
This was originally his last alternative plan on the day of the birthday banquet, and it didn't have to be implemented, but to be sure, he had secretly prepared a good manpower.
Today, he launched an attack in advance. He was worried that he would not be able to escape from the imperial study and could not control the overall situation, so he handed over his belt to Yinzhu in advance and asked him to wait for the opportunity.
Just now when his father ordered Eunuch Guan to capture Yin Zhu and Shen Yuanbai, he originally wanted to confess.
But once these words were spoken, his reputation as a treasoner was completely confirmed. Let alone the throne, he was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life.
Yin Zhu and Shen Yuanbai are missing now. They won't... won't...
Thinking of this, the eldest prince was so frightened that he was shocked, but he still held on to the last bit of luck.
No, how could they be so bold——
"My Lord! My Lord! It's not good!"
At this moment, there was a cry of panic outside the door. There was a eunuch who completely ignored the rules and yelled outside the imperial study room.
The king was already angry, but now he was completely ignited. He shouted at Eunuch Guan: "Guan Sheng, how do you control the people below!"
Guan Sheng was so frightened that he hurriedly confessed. He turned around and opened the palace door, and saw a eunuch kneeling there, exclaiming:
"Your Majesty! On the Nanjing Palace Road, the Yulin Army held the waist badge of His Highness and surrounded the envoys of the Yong Dynasty, shouting - Kill without mercy!"
"The servant came to report for help from the envoy of the Yong Dynasty. The envoy said: They came with good intentions, why did the Lord want to kill them all!"
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, the king and the eldest prince in the royal study shouted loudly at the same time. The king looked shocked, but the eldest prince was so frightened that his whole body went weak.
Baili Chengyou and the second prince looked at each other, the timing was just right!
Meng Guxue didn't know that there would be so many twists and turns. When she heard that Jiaojiao and Qiao Zhongguo were ambushed, she quickly shouted:
"Master of the country, please send someone quickly to rescue Lord Qiao and his party!"
"Master Qiao is deeply trusted by the Yong Dynasty Emperor. If anything happens today, I'm afraid there will be no good relationship between Yong Dynasty and Nanli!"
