Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Su Ling's mind.
【Danger! Danger! 】
[The target has poisoned the dragon and phoenix on the table, please be careful to avoid it! 】
Su Ling's eyes moved slightly, looking at the dish called Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang on the table, and then chose to ignore it.
She couldn't make any noise or make any moves. She had to force the puppet to hurry up. This time it was about patience.
Su Ling looked at the bustling hall and waved her hand to tell everyone to stop. Suddenly the music and conversation stopped, and the hall became quiet.
"Everyone stop it!"
The subordinate Xiao Guijun immediately asked: "Is there anything that makes Your Majesty unhappy?"
Su Ling looked at everyone and said, "Where are my birthday gifts? Please present them all one by one."
The civil and military officials were speechless. It turned out that the empress wanted to see the gift.
Hearing this, Xiao Guijun smiled and said, "In that case, I will show my shame first."
Xiao Guijun glanced at the eunuch behind him. Soon, a huge scroll was carried up by two palace maids. Xiao Guijun walked to the scroll and was about to signal the palace maids to unfold it when Su Ling hurriedly waved.
"I've been dealing with court affairs too hard recently, and my eyes have become blurry. I can't see your gifts clearly when they are placed so far away. Can you bring them closer?"
The corners of the mouths of the civil and military officials twitched when they heard this. The empress had been dealing with court affairs recently. She was clearly eating, drinking and having fun every day.
When Xiao Guijun heard this, he quickly asked the palace maid to come closer holding the scroll.
"Your Majesty, is this okay?"
"Can't see clearly, get closer."
"how about this?"
"Closer!"
When the scroll was held a few steps in front of Su Ling by the palace maid, Su Ling nodded.
"This distance is enough."
Everyone was speechless again. They couldn't see clearly at such a close distance. This wasn't because their eyes were dazzled. It was because they were blind!
Seeing that Su Ling had no objection, Xiao Guijun signaled the palace maid to unfold the scroll. The palace maid obeyed the instruction and slowly unfolded the scroll bit by bit in front of Su Ling. Soon, a picture of the empress crouching on the desk appeared in front of Su Ling.
Su Ling was greatly disappointed. There was no dagger hidden in such a large scroll. She had been waiting for Jing Ke to assassinate Qin for a long time in vain!
"Your Majesty, this was painted by my servant. I wonder if your Majesty likes it?" Xiao Guijun looked at Su Ling.
Su Ling took a look at it. Xiao Guijun's painting skills were superb. This huge painting was really good, but it was a pity that it was still a little behind her.
"Yes, the painting shows my hard work. Your Majesty, if you are interested, let this painting hang in the imperial study room." Su Ling nodded with a smile and continued to shout.
"Next!"
Xiao Guijun, who thought the empress would say something else, was a little helpless. He asked the palace maid to put the painting away and then silently stepped aside.
The second one was Lan Shujun, who gave me red coral.
The third one is Ning Wenjun, and the gift is Ruyi.
the fourth…
the fifth…
When it was Mr. Siyu's turn, Mr. Siyu took out a set of the four treasures of the study.
"Your Majesty, this set of Four Treasures of the Study is called 'Moyun Baoguang'. It was made by people from Jiangnan. Please take a look at it."
Just as Su Ling was about to take it and take a look, the alarm in his mind rang again.
【Danger! Danger! 】
[The target is preparing to launch a poisonous needle into your heart at 11 o'clock. Host, please be careful to avoid it! 】
Su Ling didn't stop moving, and even moved slower, deliberately giving the puppet a chance to shoot her heart with a poisonous needle.
It doesn't matter, she's not afraid at all wearing soft hedgehog armor and a heart goggle. This must make the puppet mad to death!
Sure enough, as soon as she took the Four Treasures of the Study, a small voice sounded in front of her chest. Su Ling glanced secretly with her peripheral vision, and a silver needle fell on her dress. She waved the silver needle. The needle hit the ground, as if nothing had happened.
Su Ling pretended to admire the thing in her hand, but in fact, she secretly looked towards the 11 o'clock direction and found that there were male concubines and a group of eunuchs and maids. She didn't know who made it.
"Master Siyu understands me. I love writing. These four treasures of the study are very good. I will use them later." Su Ling said with a very satisfied look.
Mr. Siyu thought of that day when Su Ling took down all the books in the imperial study and wrote less than ten words for a long time. He didn't say anything and went on silently.
Su Ling remained calm, secretly calculating what the puppet's next move would be. For so long, her hand basically never left the gun.
Unfortunately, until all the birthday gifts were displayed, the puppets did not move, and a group of dancers came out to dance again.
Su Ling leaned on the throne and admired it, not daring to slack off at all. Suddenly, a danger warning sounded in her mind again.
【Danger! Danger! 】
[The target is dressed as a dancer and is about to assassinate the host, please avoid it! 】
Su Ling was overjoyed, and the big gun in his hand was already hungry.
One of the dancing girls moved her body further and further forward, suddenly took out a dagger and rushed towards Su Ling, shouting.
"Emperor Dog, take your life!"
Su Ling stood up excitedly. Before he could take out the Desert Eagle in his hand, the Dragon Guard from the darkness had already rushed out and captured the dancing girl.
Su Ling:?
Are puppets so good?
"His Majesty!"
The male concubines screamed and rushed over, and all the civil and military officials in the palace were so frightened that they all stood up.
Su Ling looked around and felt something was wrong.
If this dancer is the puppet, according to the plot in the original book, if the puppet is caught, the surrounding scene will collapse. But now everything is obviously normal, which means...
This dancer is not a puppet at all, but an ordinary assassin!
She said that this dancer seemed to be acting like cannon fodder. How could she scream before assassinating her, as if she was afraid that she would not be caught.
But does this assassin really have nothing to do with the puppet? Is it really a coincidence?
Wait, are you afraid that you won’t be caught?
Su Ling suddenly realized something. She looked at the male concubines surrounding her and tried to raise her hands to stop them, but it was too late. A huge alarm sounded in her mind.
【Danger! Danger! 】
[The target is approaching the host with sleeve arrows, please pay attention to the host to avoid it! 】
Whoosh!
A Hidden Arrow struck at Su Ling's facade. Su Ling turned around and knocked over the food and wine on the table. The Hidden Arrow grazed the tip of Su Ling's nose and hit the screen behind Su Ling. Suddenly, a hole was shot through the screen.
Su Ling broke into a cold sweat. She turned around and looked at the group of male concubines, holding the Desert Eagle tightly in her hands.
who?
Who is it?
...Is it really him?
"Dragon Guard, protect His Majesty quickly!"
Xiao Guijun shouted and ordered at Long Wei who had not yet reacted.
"Escort me! Hurry and escort me!" Bai Meiren shouted in panic and trotted over.
Su Ling raised the pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom! ! !
A deafening gunshot echoed in his ears. Bai Mei felt a powerful force penetrating his body. It was like being hit hard by a hammer. His body was instantly shocked and fell backwards. A bloody hole in his chest spurted out with blood. came out, staining the clothes and the surrounding ground red.
The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder. Bai Mei fell to the ground in disbelief, and a dagger fell out from under her sleeve with a clang.
"You, how did you know it was me..."
Beauty Bai stared and lost her voice. A flash of white light flashed, and Beauty Bai disappeared on the spot. There were only three little wooden figures without faces on the ground.
