Chapter 956 Your Blood Is so Sweet 26

At the banquet, everyone drank and drank until everyone had finished eating. The queen suggested: "Your Majesty, everyone has finished eating and drinking. I also asked people to prepare fireworks. How about inviting everyone to go to the star-catching platform to enjoy it?"

In fact, even the emperor himself didn’t know about the fireworks section that followed.

Originally, he thought that this banquet would be just like the previous banquets, with eating and drinking, even boring. Unexpectedly, the queen actually prepared such a big surprise for him.

Fireworks were still very rare at this time. Although the emperor had seen them, they were not common.

Immediately, after hearing the queen's suggestion, the emperor laughed a few times: "The queen is determined. In that case, all my dear friends, please bring your family members to go pick the stars and enjoy the fireworks."

When the emperor opens his mouth, naturally no one dares to disobey.

The emperor and empress walked in the lead, and everyone followed the emperor and empress to the star-catching platform.

The Star Reaching Platform is not far from where the banquet was held, and it only took a few steps to reach it.

The star-catching platform is not small, but not everyone can stand on it. In addition to the royal family members, only officials with status above the third rank have the honor to lead their family members to stand on the star-catching platform, while the rest of the people all stand on the ground below to watch.

The fireworks were set off together, exploding high in the air with a bang, and then exploded into various colorful fireworks inside.

Although the fireworks were just a flash in the pan, the beauty stayed in everyone's hearts.

Fireworks are a rarity in this era, and you may not see them even once a year.

Not only the emperor and the empress, but also all the civil and military officials looked up and gazed at the dazzled youth.

This fireworks was not a rare thing for Xia Yichu. After taking a look at it twice, she lost interest.

Luan Jiu, who was next to him, kept his eyes on Xia Yichu, looking at her increasingly beautiful face under the light of the lights, with deep eyes.

Everyone was looking up and concentrating on admiring the fireworks blooming in the sky, and from time to time some exclamations came from everyone's mouths. At this moment, Xia Yichu suddenly felt something was wrong.

There were many people coming to the banquet today. Looking down from the star-catching platform, we could see that the crowd below was densely packed.

However, Xia Yichu keenly noticed that some people were quickly approaching the star-catching platform with small steps.

When Xia Yichu started, she didn't react. It wasn't until she saw the cold light flashing under one of the people's long sleeves that Xia Yichu's mind suddenly flashed something superfluous, and when she was about to speak, she loudly reminded everyone that there was something wrong. When she was assassinating, the voice of King An next to her screamed before her.

King An shouted: "There is an assassin! Everyone, be careful!"

King An's cry not only alerted everyone watching the fireworks, but also alerted the assassins!

When the assassins saw that they were discovered, they did not bother to hide. They directly revealed their weapons, leaped into the air, and before the guards could react, they raised the long swords in their hands. He said to the emperor: "Emperor Dog, I will kill your dog today!"

After saying that, they all came towards the emperor to attack.

"Quick, quick, quick! Escort! Escort!"

Several eunuchs and ministers standing beside the emperor quickly protected the emperor behind them, while General Huwei, who was standing next to the emperor, directly drew out the long sword from the waist of the guard next to him and entangled with the assassins.

Suddenly, there was a continuous flow of panicked screams, which were also accompanied by the sound of cold weapons colliding together.

This is the palace after all, and the palace has always been heavily guarded. Soon, the guards patrolling nearby noticed something was wrong here and rushed to support.

The ministers and family members who were under the star-catching stage had already hid aside. With the addition of various imperial guards, the originally evenly matched assassins gradually gained the upper hand.

Seeing one assassin after another die at the hands of the Imperial Guards, the assassin leader who just spoke harshly was obviously a little anxious.

His cultivation suddenly skyrocketed, and the strong fluctuating aura around him directly knocked aside General Huwei who was fighting against him.

The assassin leader's murderous eyes were focused on the emperor, and he roared angrily: "Emperor Dog, even if I die here today, I will drag you into hell!"

Everyone was frightened by what he said. However, what frightened everyone even more was the aura blooming from his body. It was too strong and terrifying, and his murderous intent was too strong.

The imperial guards and bodyguards tried to stop him one after another, but they were all knocked away by him like an egg striking a stone.

The powerful aura of the assassin leader almost made the eunuchs and ministers standing in front of the emperor kneel down. They wanted to run away, but they did not dare to.

Regardless of whether the emperor escaped this disaster today, if they leave now, it will be a death penalty.

Everyone looked at the assassin leader in horror. King An ran from nowhere, opened his arms to block the emperor, and shouted angrily: "If you want to kill my father, then first Step over my corpse before you talk!"

"You don't overestimate your capabilities." The assassin leader sneered disdainfully. Just when he was about to give King An a pleasure and let him meet the King of Hell early, a ray of white light suddenly fell from the sky.

When this white light appeared, everyone felt the holy aura emanating from the white light.

Anyone who has been to the Holy See or has been baptized by the Holy Son and Saint Daughter’s Light Technique will know that this white light contains all the holy power that is of great benefit to the human body.

Then, under everyone's gaze, this white light landed on the assassin leader.

Being given the art of light was originally a very comfortable and enjoyable thing for anyone. However, when the white light landed on the assassin leader, the assassin leader seemed to be burned by fire. He resisted for a while at first, and finally dropped the weapon in his hand and screamed in pain.

Xia Yichu, who released the light technique, stood in the corner.

She is wearing a white robe, holding a scepter in her hand, standing tall, with delicate appearance, indifferent expression, and noble temperament, just like the snow lotus blooming on the mountain, which cannot be concealed even if she stands in a dark corner. The unparalleled beauty in her body.

Xia Yichu didn't bear the slightest bit of pain towards the assassin leader's screams of pain. She didn't even frown. She waved the scepter in her hand, and a great light spell appeared. White light fell on the assassin leader, and he fell. After screaming in pain for a few times on the ground, his face was not ferocious at last, his eyes were like evil ghosts, he glanced at Xia Yichu unwillingly, and finally turned into a black mist.

The white light released by Xia Yichu directly swallowed up the black mist, and everything returned to water-like silence.
