Not long after, there was a clash of swords outside. Jiang Xueyao helped the Queen Mother up and looked at her body left and right: "Grandma Huang, are you okay? Are you injured?"
"The Ai family is fine." The Queen Mother shook her head. Compared to Jiang Xueyao's panic, she just frowned slightly and even stood up, wanting to go out and see what was going on.
"Grandma Huang, let's not go out yet. General Zhou is outside. She will definitely protect us."
Although Jiang Xueyao tried her best to dissuade her, who was the Queen Mother? The woman who once dominated the harem had experienced such scenes not only once or twice, how could she be intimidated?
The Queen Mother had a straight face, opened the car door displeasedly, and walked out.
Jiang Xueyao saw that her obstruction was ineffective, so she had no choice but to chase out half worried and half frightened. She held the umbrella on the Queen Mother's head to prevent her from getting wet in the rain.
"Who dares to stop the Ai family's car!"
Although the Queen Mother's voice was full of majesty, the sudden group of assassins seemed not to have heard it. They completely ignored the Queen Mother and continued to deal with the guards around the carriage.
On the contrary, Rong Qin paused slightly after hearing the sound, then pulled out the long sword that had been inserted into the guard's heart, turned around and looked at the Queen Mother.
The rain wet Rong Qin's long hair, trying to wash away the blood stains on his body, but the blood stains just kept getting more and more.
He bent slightly and said with a little respect and a little contempt in his tone: "Wei minister... I respectfully invite the Queen Mother Jin'an."
"Rong Qin, you dare to assassinate the Queen Mother, you are so brave!" After dealing with the enemies in front of him, Zhou Luan quickly stepped in front of the Queen Mother's carriage and looked at Rong Qin warily to prevent him from harming the Queen Mother.
Dasheng was restless in court, and she knew that this trip would not go so smoothly.
But she didn't expect that the last person to come was Rong Qin.
This is really troublesome.
Seeing that the guards in front of him were almost eliminated and fell to the ground in a mess, he raised his hand to stop them: "Huang Liao, stop."
After receiving the order, Huang Liao sent a look to his subordinates, who immediately stopped what they were doing, switched formations, and surrounded several carriages.
Rong Qin stepped forward and approached Zhou Luan in a leisurely manner: "General Zhou is very good at swordsmanship. He is really a woman, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong master."
"Your Zhou family has been working for Duan Qianjun for so long, but it seems that they haven't gained much benefit."
Zhou Luan sneered: "It seems that it is not Master Rong's turn to dictate who the Zhou family does things for."
Rong Qin stopped beside Zhou Luan, half-lowering his head to meet her angry eyes, but he only found it funny.
Well...it's really not my turn.
There was a female general in the Zhou family. He had previously looked at her with disapproval upon hearing the rumors, but now that he had received the real seal, he felt that this woman exuded an aura of stupidity.
If it's Pei Qi, he should be thinking about what other bargaining chips he can use to bargain with him.
Not intending to pay any more attention to Zhou Luan, Rong Qin stepped directly over her to the carriage and leaned down in front of the Queen Mother: "It's rainy and muddy, and the Queen Mother is precious. Why don't you find another place to rest with me?"
He clearly wanted to invite people, but his whole body was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.
Seeing Rong Qin's posture and the dying subordinates on the ground, the Queen Mother also knew that Rong Qin was bound to win. In order to prevent the two sides from fighting again and losing more manpower, the Queen Mother had no choice but to comply with his wishes.
"Forget it, the Ai family will go with you."
After saying that, the subordinate driving the car knelt down in front of the car consciously, flattened his back, and let the Queen Mother step off the carriage.
But when she passed by Rong Qin, she saw that he had not moved yet, with an unknown smile in his eyes.
Rong Qin opened his mouth to call out to the Queen Mother, looked at Zhou Luan, and then focused on Jiang Xueyao: "Queen Mother, don't be anxious. Before we leave, we might as well play a game."
"I am very curious. If Zhou Luan and the fifth princess can only keep one person back to the imperial capital today, who will the Queen Mother abandon?"
One is his own granddaughter who he has always doted on, and the other is his loyal subordinate.
By killing Zhou Luan, Duan Qianjun loses the Zhou family. By killing Jiang Xueyao, Duan Qianjun loses the power of Jiang Xueyao's mother's family, Yun Mansion. To Duan Qianjun, either one of these two forces is fatal.
At the palace banquet, Duan Qianjun and Pei Qi had to pay back all the obstacles they had put to him.
Did you really think that if he prevented Jiang Fengchuan from ascending the throne, there would be nothing he could do?
This is just the beginning.
The Queen Mother's footsteps stopped in place the moment Rong Qin finished speaking. She had been standing in the harem for so long and was used to all kinds of coercion and inducement methods. However, Rong Qin, who could control other people's life and death with ease, was the young lady in the palace. have.
No matter who she chooses, she will be resented by the forces on the other side.
If Jiang Xueyao is allowed to live, the Zhou family will not blame Rong Qin for his despicable manipulation of life and death, but will ask her why the Queen Mother did not choose Zhou Luan, and vice versa for the Yun family.
No matter what, everything is lost.
Oh, what a Rong Qin.
The Queen Mother turned her back to Rong Qin, but her tone was not as impetuous and angry as he expected, but surprisingly peaceful: "Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing this?"
Um? Divine punishment?
puff……
Rong Qin seemed to have heard a joke and laughed out loud without any scruples the next second.
After he had laughed enough, he remembered to answer the Queen Mother: "God's punishment... If there is such a thing as God's punishment in this world, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will not be as prosperous as she is now."
"You were once a queen, how many people's blood did you have on your way to favor? How many bodies did you step on in the previous dynasty's fight for the right to inherit the throne? Does the Queen Mother really think that just because you went to Qianfo Mountain to eat vegetarian food in your later years? , can all these crimes be covered up by paying homage to the Buddha?"
"Some hands are already dirty and can never be washed again."
The beads scattered on the ground should be regarded as Rong Qin's way of exposing her crimes in front of many gods and Buddhas.
After saying this, Rong Qin raised his head and looked at the sky, letting the heavy rain hit his face.
Divine punishment...
Ah.
Rong Qin's life and death will be decided by the so-called "heaven".
If this "Heaven" really cared for the world as much as the world revered, it would not have seen the Great Anni Dynasty dripping with blood inside and outside, and the people in the city would have become dead souls in the hands of others.
"It's getting late, has the Queen Mother made a decision?" Xu Shi didn't want to stay any longer, so Rong Qin turned around and urged.
The Queen Mother clenched her hands and wanted to fiddle with the Buddhist beads in her hand twice as usual, but she forgot that the beads had been destroyed long ago, so she only fiddled with them.
After a long time, she spoke helplessly: "In that case, let's keep Xueyao."
If these two people have to choose one, it would be better to choose the one that is most beneficial to her.
Although the Zhou family is a general, it does not have military power. Compared with the power of the Yun family, it is still somewhat insufficient.
Just give it up.
Huang Liao's sword, following the Queen Mother's order, pierced Zhou Luan's chest fiercely. Jiang Xueyao, who was still on the carriage, also collapsed into the carriage in fear of Zhou Luan's death.
Seeing this, Rong Qin jumped up with a tap of his toes, and landed firmly at the door of the car the next second, looking down at Jiang Xueyao.
"Don't...don't kill me..."
Jiang Xueyao was instantly frightened to tears, her little face was full of fear, and she was crying so hard.
Rong Qin knelt down, pinched her chin, and gently brushed away her tears with his other hand.
After changing his frightening expression, Rong Qin actually comforted her in a low voice: "Princess, why are you crying? Since Zhou Luan is dead, I will not kill you."
"It's just that... the princess needs to remember that the person who took away the Queen Mother today was the Zhaolan Palace under the hands of the guilty minister, and you have never seen her true face."
"Understandable?"
