The sickly girl makes it hard for her to fly away

Just as Helian Chongchang withdrew his gaze, the palace attendant who walked to his table and placed the wine cup took out a dagger from his sleeve.

The dagger shone sharply under the candlelight beside the table. Wu Anping, who was beside Helian Chongchang, quickly shouted: "There is an assassin! Someone come and protect him!"

There was an uproar at the banquet.

Most of the female relatives were scared and hurriedly fled to the surrounding places where they could take shelter.

Wu Anping's shouting and the chaotic noise at the banquet quickly attracted the attention of the guards guarding the surroundings not far away.

At the same time, Helian Chongchang fought with the assassin who was disguised as a wine delivery palace attendant and wanted to assassinate him.

The scene was chaotic for a time, and the banquet was no longer the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere it had been before, but became perilous.

It is easy to hide the open spear, but it is difficult to guard against the hidden arrow.

The palace attendant who assassinated Helian Chongchang at close range was not alone. After he took action, several men in black emerged from the darkness around him. They rushed forward with masks and swords, and fought with the guards who came to protect the Holy Emperor. together.

He Lianqing saw that his father was in danger, and he quickly joined the fight with the assassin.

The martial arts of the assassin who specifically assassinated Helian Chongchang should not be underestimated. After taking over with him and getting a feel for it, Helian Chongchang took it seriously.

As the sleeves fluttered, the surrounding candlelight was affected, swaying left and right, and the light also swayed accordingly.

Qi Ningning does not know martial arts. As a female, she is not suitable to stay at the scene at this time. It is not safe and can easily affect others.

For example, He Lianqing.

Only if she was not here and stayed in a safe place, he could deal with this group of assassins who appeared out of thin air like ghosts without any distractions and rescue his father from danger.

Now she ran to a rockery and squatted down to watch the scene at the banquet.

The black-clothed assassins are few in number but all of them are very capable. They are ruthless in their attacks and will never get too entangled with others. Their attacks are sure to be killing moves.

Within a moment, the place where the banquet was originally held was filled with corpses and blood splattered everywhere.

Looking at Helian Chongchang, people who can be emperors have always gone through various tests, whether it is literary skills or military strategy, they are by no means inferior.

Even though he was middle-aged, he showed no signs of sloppiness in the fight. The assassin who wanted to kill him at close range never had a real chance to do so.

In addition, He Lianqing was still protecting the surroundings. Once he found an assassin approaching, he would immediately deal with it and never give those people a chance to get closer.

These assassins did not give up until they achieved their goals, and gradually became encircled.

Seeing this, He Lianqing also leaned closer to Helian Chongchang, and several more assassins came from behind. There were now a total of about ten assassins at the banquet.

They should be carefully trained assassins, with sharp moves and very strong martial arts, and they will not be killed easily.

As for the guards who usually protect the emperor, they don't have many chances to fight against people with high martial arts skills and neat skills.

Therefore, it was very difficult for them to deal with these assassins. Although there were many people, they did not have any advantage.

Qi Ningning still remembered that they brought a lot of "security" personnel with them when they set off from the imperial capital, which meant that the emperor could not have only such a few guards around him, and the assassin would not be able to succeed so easily.

Except for the guards guarding the banquet, the other guards were all in other places, some patrolling and some buried in the dark.The furthest ones are those guarding the periphery of the Tianchi Palace. It will take some time to mobilize their manpower.

Qi Ningning squatted behind the rockery and watched with her heart pounding. Even her breathing became tense involuntarily as the people at the banquet were caught in a fight.

She smelled an inexplicable smell in her breath, like something burned, and she also felt a little warm on her back.

She had a bad premonition. Following this premonition, she turned around and was stunned.

I saw a raging fire burning in the winding wooden corridor behind me. The flames soared into the sky and dyed half of the sky red.

After that, there were all kinds of noisy noises nearby. Some people shouted "The water is leaking", and some people were running around in panic. There were assassinations and water leaks in the palace. The summer vacation had just begun and it was thrilling.

Qi Ningning couldn't stay any longer. The raging fire spread quickly, and the surroundings were surrounded by all kinds of dense flowers, plants and trees, all of which were flammable.

If the fire is not put out in time, it will spread to where she is now.

Qi Ningning caught a glimpse of a wooden barrel placed at the base of the nearby wall. Without hesitation, she picked it up and ran to the nearest stream to get some water. Then she went to the corridor to help put out the fire.

The fire was so intense that those who went in and poured water to extinguish the fire came out with their faces covered in black and gray. Qi Ningning was no exception, but no one cared about it at this time. If the fire continued to get bigger, none of them would be able to escape. So no one dares to take it lightly.

Pots, pans, and other utensils that can hold water were all used by everyone.

Over at the banquet, during the fight, He Lianqing saw a fire on the wooden corridor from the corner of his eye, and his heart suddenly became confused.

The assassin he was fighting noticed that he was distracted and took the opportunity to slash at him with a razor.

The wind of the knife struck violently, and He Lianqing couldn't think too much. He subconsciously hit the assassin's wrist with such force that the assassin's wrist hurt and the knife fell to the ground.

The assassin wanted to pick up the knife again, but He Lianqing trampled his hand to the ground. After the opponent's cannibalistic eyes appeared, He Lianqing stepped on the handle of the knife. The assassin's hand, which was hurt by the trampling, had no time to use it. The knife was taken away after he tried his best.

After killing the assassin in front of him, He Lianqing turned around to see what was going on with Helian Chongchang.

He was still fighting with the assassin, and the most deadly scene quietly appeared behind him at this moment.

He Lianqing stepped lightly, ran over in three or two steps at a time, and stopped the man's long knife from behind.

In his hand was a knife that he had snatched from an assassin who had just attacked him. It would be better to fight the assassin with their weapons than with bare hands.

The assassin who was carrying out a sneak attack from behind relentlessly stalked him, and He Lianqing couldn't leave at this time.

As he struck, the sound of the long knife cutting through the air could be heard clearly in He Lianqing's ears. He was concentrating on dealing with the assassin in front of him, but unexpectedly the assassin next to him took advantage of the opportunity.

The long knife pierced Helian Chongchang's chest quickly and urgently. He Lianqing was anxious. He swiped the long knife in his hand to repel the entangled assassin in front of him. Then he turned around and blocked Helian Chongchang. the front.

The long knife struck so fast that they who were fighting the assassin couldn't react in time.

laugh--

The sound that penetrated the flesh was almost terrifying. He Lianqing raised his eyebrows and took the knife with cold eyes. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the sweet taste that had risen to his throat.
