Emperor Jin

Chapter 36 The Queen
(This is what I owed yesterday, please forgive me)
Li Huan raised his eyebrows in astonishment. He forced himself to calm down and observed the difference between the two arrows.

The last time it was the iron arrow that the land of Shu was good at, although it was strong, it couldn't hold far, but this time it was just a little feather feather, which could penetrate the courtyard and destroy the wall without breaking.

Could it be someone from the imperial court...? !

There was silence in the distance, and the swaying lights in the courtyard dragged the tree shadows into twists and haze. In this piece of tranquility, there seemed to be countless ghosts hidden.

The sound of footsteps is from far to near, steady and light, neither fast nor slow.

Li Huan hid in the courtyard, his heart was burning with anxiety, but he was helpless.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and then subsided, only the sound of water flowing, as if someone was dumping something.

Li Huan sniffed lightly for a moment, and his face suddenly changed. His hair was standing on end, and he was extremely frightened and angry——

It's oil! !
The torch was ignited, illuminating one side of the courtyard, the leader was about to throw it, but his whole body froze.

He froze for a moment, and then fell slowly to the ground, Huo Zhe fell weakly at his feet, and in the middle of his throat, there was a Go cloud!
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, the murderer is gone, and the arsonist is coming again!"

A clear and crisp female voice came from the sky like ice and snow breaking through the embankment.

As if even the night sky was dazzled by this unvoiced sound, the woman standing on the wall was dressed in white and covered her face with a silk scarf. She held a sword in her right hand and held a cloud in her left hand. Seen under the moonlight, her slender fingers looked like Crystal clear.

"You came to visit late at night, I don't know which song is singing?"

She smiled softly, her eyes were dim and drooping, and when she looked under the moonlight, she floated out of the dust, as if she was an immortal.

The second group of men in black didn't answer, and swiped their weapons straight at the eldest son in the courtyard. The woman in white laughed lightly, a cold light flashed, the long sword came out of its sheath, and flew down from under the wall, and the clothes fluttered down. , I saw the sword light is vague and uncertain, like a silver light swallowing the moonlight and beauty, the bare hands are slender, I feel pity.

This seemingly weak sword move hit his chest in the cold light, the man in black twisted his face, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.

In the last glance, the snow blade has become blurred and distant, and the bright red blood splashes around the full moon, adding magic charm to the coldness.

Bao Jin rushed into the formation, moved and jumped, after a few flashes of sword light, there were only three corpses left on the ground, the leader gave a loud shout, and arrows flashed from all sides immediately!

Feathers are like snow, under a full moon, there are thousands of attacks, there is no end, Baojin's long sword is swung out, and the sword energy surges through the air, as if cutting a road out of thin air in the sea of ​​arrows.

I saw a piece of mysterious light flickering, and those black arrows were swept away layer by layer, and there was a tinkling sound when they landed.

This situation seems to be calm and calm, but Baojin has a sense of suffering in his heart——

The meridians all over her body were in pain, and although her true energy was flowing upwards, it seemed to be exhausted... She is only at the end of her strength, and even if she holds on, she won't last long.

The more critical it was, the clearer her spirit platform was, she quickly speculated in her mind, carefully looked at the arrow's direction, and finally made up her mind.

She dodged and suddenly sped up, and flew up to the eaves like a ghost, and the cloud in her hand flew out like a torrential rain, which could hit something in the distance.

"As expected, it was shot from a long distance with a miniature version of the military bed crossbow..."

Not far away, Li Huan whispered, he cooperated tacitly, and when she was exhausted, he barely blocked the thin incoming arrows.

The only man in black saw that the two of them had shown signs of decline, and turned back to kill them.

He flew forward and restrained Li Huan with one move, but instead of killing him, he stretched out his hand to search for something in his arms.

Holding onto the thing that looked like a ledger, he raised his sword to stab it, but at the very moment, there was a sharp pain behind him, and he let go of his palm, and the ledger fell immediately.

Standing on the top of the wall, Shen Hao flashed the sleeve crossbow in his hand, and shot and killed the enemies who were still about to attack one by one. He saw the flames flashing farther away at a glance, and knew something was wrong, so he shouted: "Quick back! "

There was only a sharp golden wind blowing towards the face, and several pine torches were thrown in, and the flames met oil, and they burst into flames with a bang.

The flames rushed towards the face, straight into the sky, and the entire night sky was illuminated red, and the flames were winding all over the ground, raging and resplendent like a dragon.

Bao Jin's heavy eyes were reflected by the flames, she couldn't exert any strength, but she clenched her teeth and pulled Li Huan up from the ground, "Go! We can't die here!"

Li Huan was injured in one shoulder, and supported Uncle Zhou with the other hand, but before leaving, he hesitated and bent down to pick up the account book——

He was finally a moment late, the tongue of flames raged, and in a blink of an eye, he reached his feet, the account book was involved in it, twisted slightly, and turned into ashes, and there was a faint fragrance of ink in the air.

When Baojin looked back, it was too late. Although she felt regretful, she had no time to take care of it. The three supported each other and climbed over the low wall at the other end, barely escaping their lives. Collapsing in tongues of flame.

"Probably mixed with sulfur!"

Shen Hao stepped forward to respond, but in the chaos and noise, no one could hear his words clearly.

***
The queen was quite restless that night, she looked at the moon in the sky, and murmured: "What a big moon..."

She didn't feel sleepy, so she simply called Lin'er and several maids, set up the sandalwood table, and wiped the cards.

The queen was not good at wiping cards, and in a short while, most of the golden lockets on the table were lost. The three of them were startled, and were about to secretly put down the cards, but they saw that the queen was absent-minded, so naturally they were not unhappy.

At the first watch, the three of them got up one after another and advised the empress to rest earlier. The queen asked them to close the door of the palace tightly, but they didn't go to bed, but just read a book silently.

At the third watch, someone came to report. The queen was not surprised, and called softly: "Come in!"

Someone entered quietly, and the lapis lazuli ground was stained black and gloomy by the soot from his cuff.

"Missed?"

Queen Liu frowned, and put down the scroll in her hand, "There are so many people, why can't they just deal with a dude?!"

"The minister has violated the imperial edict of the empress, and the crime deserves death."

He Yuan kowtowed again and again.

"You have always done things safely, what happened this time?"

There was a faint haze in the Queen's eyebrows, and she asked again: "What happened to the account book, have you ever found it?"

"The minister is incompetent..."

He Yuan was terrified, and kowtowed again.
