Chapter 163 A Near Miss
The two secret guards following Xian Shijun were furious. In terms of martial arts, they were better than the other. However, these people were cunning and used this kind of thunderbolt to assassinate them twice.
One of the secret guards was seriously injured because they were protecting Xian Shijun. Now he was at the end of his strength. He was still standing because he was holding on with the strongest will, so they sent a signal for help.
This time they still didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly towards Xian Shijun, trying to withstand the power of the thunderbolts with their own flesh and blood bodies.
Xian Shijun's face also darkened. He knew that the other party was already a little hysterical after discovering that there was no third princess in their party, and vowed to save his life, so he tried his best to protect himself and did not blindly rely on the guards.
But even so, their group was still rapidly reducing their numbers, and this was already the third thing called a thunderbolt thrown by the other party.
The two secret guards cooperated very well. The uninjured one jumped forward, and the seriously injured one rushed towards her companions, trying to save her companions as much as possible. She knew that she would die this time, but she also had to die in a worthwhile way.
An expected explosion sounded, but no pain occurred. The secret guard thought she had lost consciousness, and in the next breath, someone grabbed her arms and pulled her up.
She sensed something was wrong and flicked her wrist to prepare for a counterattack, but a familiar voice came from her ears:
"Feng Qi, you are safe now, leave the rest to us."
The secret guard named Feng Qi then raised his head and saw the boss's familiar eyes. Only then was he convinced that reinforcements had arrived. He was completely reassured and fainted.
The secret guard who was pinned down by Feng Qi also got up at this time. After helping Xian Shijun up, he reported to Feng Shouhui:
"Chief, Feng Qi used his own body to block a thunderbolt bullet and was already at the end of his strength. My subordinates were afraid that they could not protect Shijun by themselves, so they sounded the distress signal."
"It doesn't matter! You have done a good job, leave the rest to us."
Feng Shou knew that his men would not ask for help easily if they had no choice.
This is because Feng Shou used a dart to miss the thunderbolt at the critical moment. It did not hit Xian Shijun and the others, but instead gave the other party a taste of his own thunderbolt.
While these people were dizzy, other secret guards who arrived a step too late pounced on them like tigers descending a mountain, and captured them all in just a few rounds.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the masked dead man knew that the mission was a complete failure, so he immediately bit the poison hidden in his teeth and committed suicide.
The dead soldier was dead, but there were others. These people were knocked to the ground, and before they could take the poison, their jaws were removed directly by the experienced secret guards.
Seeing the only five people left, Feng Shou waved her hands to let them be taken away. She personally protected the Xian Shijun and returned to Zhuoxiu Garden overnight.
Lianyi was already waiting in the courtyard of Xian Shijun, and the people waiting in the courtyard were all in high spirits.
It was not until late at night that I heard a noise. A group of men in black protected the somewhat embarrassed Xian Shijun back to the courtyard.
After Xianshijun saw Lianyi, the anger he was holding in his heart was relieved. He staggered and was supported by Lianyi.
"But you're injured?"
"No, thanks to the Queen, the rescuers arrived in time. I was not injured. It's just that the Third Princess did not come back with me."
Xian Shijun was afraid that Lianyi would be anxious, so he explained immediately.
"Why did she make you a target?"
Ripple frowned slightly and said.
"Queen, calm down. I agree with her decision. Since it is to train her, it must start and end."
Xian Shijun explained in a low voice.
"Let's not talk about her for now. You go and freshen up first and let Mei Yuanzheng take your pulse. I will eat something with you later and you can go and rest."
After Lianyi gave the order, the servant next to Xian Shijun immediately came forward and helped his master to wash up.
Feng Shou took a step forward and reported the rescue process.
"Thank you for your hard work. While Mr. Xian is grooming, let Mei Yuanzheng go check on Feng Qi first. Make sure she is okay. If you need any medicinal materials, take my jade pendant to the warehouse to get it."
Ripple said as she pulled off the white jade phoenix pendant from her waist.
"Yes, I would like to thank the Queen on behalf of Feng Qi."
After saying this, he stepped forward to take Feng Pei and retreated.
After Meiyuan was checking the wounded person's pulse and looking at Xian Shijun, he asked the medicine boy to carry the medicine box and help her leave together.
Lianyi watched Xian Shijun lie down, so he took a book and read it while accompanying Xian Shijun.
"The Queen does not need to accompany me..."
Although Xian Shijun was secretly happy, he still said it insincerely.
"You were beaten and killed all the way back, and you were frightened again. I'll stay with you so you can sleep peacefully."
Ripple said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xian Shijun didn't refuse anymore, that would be too pretentious.
Sure enough, soon after falling asleep, Xian Shijun felt a little restless, murmuring in whispers, and with a ferocious expression on his face.
Lianyi directly held the other person's hand and transferred some spiritual energy to Xian Shijun, so that the other person could sleep peacefully.
"I didn't realize that you were so kind to this virtuous servant."
The stone mortar suddenly appeared.
"He is the Queen's true love. He failed to protect him in his previous life. As a taskmaster, I naturally have to fulfill the Queen's wish."
"It's not just because of sex..."
"Why is your signal so good now?"
"..."
In the courtyard on the other side, Rong Shijun and the emperor's husband received news that Xian Shijun was back. Although it was late at night, Feng Shou and the others did not cover up, so it was difficult for them not to know.
Among them, Rong Shijun had the biggest reaction:
"Your life is so great, you won't die even if you do this!"
His eyes were burning. As a former official husband, he knew very well that the person the Queen really cared about was not him, but the virtuous servant who only knew how to wield a sword and a gun.
The poor emperor still hasn't understood the queen's thoughts. He regards him as an enemy, but allows the virtuous servant to benefit from the fishermen.
Even though he explicitly hinted at it many times, the other party didn't believe it. Instead, he became even more wary of him and did many things to stumble him.
No wonder the emperor's husband didn't believe it. After all, the first daughter was his, and the second daughter was the emperor's husband who came by air. They both had daughters, so they didn't care about the birth of the third emperor's daughter.
Even now, in the battle for the throne, the third princess has been eliminated early. This is not a kind of protection.
She also took action in the assassination of the Third Princess and Lord Xian Shi this time, but she wanted to kill Lord Xian even more! Although he failed, he was once again convinced that Xian Shijun was the one the Queen really cared about.
The emperor's husband also felt regretful in his heart. As long as the third emperor's daughter was fine, it would not be a big deal if Xian Shijun died. However, he still arranged for someone to send Xian Shijun some anti-shock and nourishing herbs to show his generosity.
Here, Xian Shijun escaped from danger, and the third princess also went into hiding. Han Lu knew that the mission was probably a failure before he could wait for the news of the dead man.
However, whether the assassination was successful or not had little impact on their overall plan, so after unloading the food, he quickly returned to Panlong Kingdom's territory with the money.
After leaving Fengqi Kingdom's territory in fear all the way, General Han was completely relieved. Unfortunately, he was relieved a little early.
