I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 374 Li Qi's Enlightenment (Third)

The cell door opened suddenly, the long knife hanging outside the door, the bloodstains flowing on the ground, and the sound of fighting from a distance. Everything came very suddenly, but it clearly explained one thing——

Someone wants to take Yu Pingjun's life.

"Cang Lang Lang!"

"Who?!"

Turning his head suddenly, Li Qi pulled out the Emperor Sword from his waist without hesitation.

And as the cell door was fully opened, several people outside the door rushed in, but the other party was also taken aback by the question.

"Emperor, Your Majesty?!"

There were five people in total, all wearing the official uniforms of the prison guards of the Ministry of Punishment, and the long knives in their hands were covered with blood.

At this moment, their faces were full of astonishment, and they even took a step back subconsciously.

Obviously, no matter who they were ordered to kill Yu Pingjun, they didn't expect to see Li Qi here.

Compared with their panic, the latter quickly came back to his senses, and immediately shouted sharply:

"Trespassing the prison! You guys are so brave!"

"Don't let me go!"

"."

"This"

A loud shout made the five people retreat again, but when the sound of fighting not far away floated into their ears, they suddenly regained their senses.

"Your Majesty! I'm sorry!"

"The Queen must die today!!"

Up to now, there is no way out, and the person behind them threatened their family members, making them want to kill Yu Pingjun no matter what.

As for Li Qi, although the five of them had already rebelled, they also knew the consequences of assassinating the emperor of a country, so none of them had the intention to kill at this time.

"Shh!!!"

The five figures flashed past, heading straight for Mr. Yu Ping, who was curled up on the stone bed with wide eyes, ready to kill him quickly and then commit suicide on the spot.

No matter how big a prison cell is, it is only a few feet long and wide, so the five people have shot near the stone bed almost in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment, the man holding the Tianzi sword took a step forward and protected Yu Pingjun behind him.

"presumptuous!!"

"I want to see which of you dare?!"

Although he knew that these five people were secret agents, Li Qi could see that they were still quite afraid of him, so the emperor's air in his tone was revealed, and he tried to use this to scare the other party away.

However, this kind of tactic also depends on the situation. Now that the assassin is determined to die, this move will have no effect.

"Your Majesty, get out of the way."

He stopped suddenly and pointed forward with the tip of the knife.

The face of the leader no longer had the panic at the beginning, but he uttered a word in an extremely cold voice.

"If the villains are cornered, they will kill you together."

"."

For a moment, there was a moment of silence in the cell.

Li Qi's expression suddenly became gloomy, but he knew in his heart that the other party was definitely not scaremongering, and he would not give himself too long to think.

Therefore, I must make a decision immediately.

To let, or not to let?

The five opponents are all middle three ranks, the same as myself.

But if there is a real fight, I am afraid that I will lose the enemy within a few breaths.

As the king of a country, Li Qi naturally has a treasure to save his life.

But now the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, if the other party really wants to kill, then it is still unknown how long these objects can protect themselves.
"emperor!"

Suddenly, an urgent cry interrupted Li Qi's thinking.

He looked back subconsciously, and then saw the face full of tears.

"Your Majesty! Anyway, I will die sooner or later! What are you doing to stop me?!"

"Stop pretending to be hypocritical here! Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!!!"

Yu Pingjun grabbed Li Qi's lapel tightly, screaming with all his strength, trying to push the former aside.

However, the owner of the white dragon robe did not move at all.

At this moment, Li Qi seemed to have some kind of enlightenment, and suddenly understood how to be an emperor.

This is the first time he understands this matter after he has been on the throne for more than [-] years.

As a king, you can't retreat!

Slowly parting the pale fingers on his chest, he turned his head and looked at the five assassins in front of him with nervous expressions.

All worries and hesitation have long since disappeared, only the Tianzi sword slowly raised, and the choices a true emperor should make.

"remember."

"I promise you to die, so you can die."

"I won't allow you to die, no one in this world can kill you!"

"This is the case today!"

"It's the same in the future!"

"Aren't you going to kill me?!"

"come!!!"

"boom!!"

The next moment, the Tianzi Sword, which was wrapped in the power of a monstrous emperor, roared with a strong dragon roar, and swept towards the five astonished assassins.

"Ding ding dong dong!"

"Shoot!!"

"Zheng!!"

Amidst the intertwined sound of Jin Ge, Yu Pingjun stared blankly at Li Qi, who hadn't taken a step back, and at the blood splattered on the latter's body.
She suddenly felt that the man she had hated for twenty years was very strange.

So unfamiliar that she no longer hates it.
"Emperor, Your Majesty."

"It turned out to be a concubine, I'm sorry."

An hour later.

When Wei Changtian and Li Wutong rushed to the palace at the fastest speed, everything that happened in the prison had already come to an end.

Wei Changtian never imagined that someone would assassinate Yu Pingjun, let alone that the Dafeng Palace was so riddled with holes that the assassins actually succeeded.

What surprised him the most was that these assassins actually met Li Qi, and Li Qi saved Yu Pingjun with all his injuries!
It's outrageous! !

"emperor!"

"Father!"

Leaving the old eunuch behind and rushing into the hall, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong immediately saw Li Qi surrounded by a group of imperial doctors.

The latter's face was a little pale, but it didn't seem like a big problem.

After all, as the king of a country, as long as he keeps his breath, there is a high probability that he can be rescued, not to mention that the reinforcements arrived in time at that time, Li Qi's injury was actually not that serious.

Of course, even this appearance is enough to make his daughter feel distressed.

"Father Emperor!!"

Crying and running to Li Qi, Li Wutong's tears poured out of his eyes as if he didn't want money.

In comparison, Wei Changtian was much calmer, and after a few words of concern, he directly asked the most critical question.

"Your Majesty, how is the Queen doing now?"

"."

Li Qi waved his hand to signal all the imperial doctors and eunuchs to go out, Li Qi's expression was very calm.

"Life is safe, but it may be due to heavy injuries, and I am still asleep."

"Are you asleep or not?"

Wei Changtian frowned and asked, "Is there nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

"Well, I haven't found a way yet, but it won't be too long."

"That's fine."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Wutong who was still wiping tears beside him, and asked another question through voice transmission.

"Your Majesty, did the Empress say anything about the conspiracy between Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng?"

"."

"No."

Shaking his head, Li Qi also condensed his inner strength and replied: "But she will definitely say it when she wakes up."

"Is it?"

Seeing Li Qi's calm expression, a somewhat inexplicable thought suddenly flashed into Wei Changtian's mind.

"Your Majesty, let me ask one more question."

"It's not about you tonight"

"No."

Li Qi's answer was very straightforward and indifferent.

"I just follow the trend."

"That's all."
