Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

The atmosphere around was frozen and extremely silent.

Suddenly, countless figures in black appeared on the roofs on both sides, they were as silent as ghosts. Their bodies were wrapped in black clothes, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. This familiar feeling was the same as the deadpools I met during the day.

The moonlight was like water, and the swords in the hands of the assassins on the roof glowed coldly in the dark night, as if they were sharp blades from hell.

An Yi and other secret guards quickly surrounded the carriage. They stood tall with serious faces, ready to attack at any time.

"Send the signal! Kill as many as come." Xiao Jingzhan's tone was cold and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The auras outside are quite strong, and they are all experts.

"Yes, Master." After saying that, An Yi fired a flare into the sky, and the assassins who had been following in the dark appeared one after another upon seeing the signal!

The two groups of people were facing each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

On one side is the weird Deadpool, with a nimble body, holding a sharp blade, empty eyes, and extremely strong attack power.

On the other side were the mysterious secret guards. They were dressed in uniform, had pairs of sharp eyes, and exuded a chilling aura.

A fierce battle broke out the moment the two sides appeared.

The sound of swords clashing was especially noticeable in the darkness.

Inside the carriage, Shen Yanyan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

boom!

"Ah! Shit!" Shen Yanyan touched her forehead and cursed. It hurts!

Xiao Jingzhan covered his chin, looking a little pale.

Why are you so surprised?

Hearing Shen Yanyan's cry of pain, he anxiously pulled her over and pulled down her hand that was covering her forehead, and saw that her forehead was a little red and swollen.

"Why are you making so much noise!" Looking at her slightly red and swollen forehead, Xiao Jingzhan frowned, with a hint of blame in his tone.

Then he took out medicine from the grid of the carriage and applied it on her forehead.

After applying the cool ointment, Shen Yanyan felt that her headache was not so painful anymore. "I heard the sound of swords and knives." She was sleeping soundly when suddenly the sound of swords and knives came. Shen Yanyan sat up like a conditioned reflex. There was no other way. She had encountered many assassins in the past two days, so she became alert when she heard the sound of swords and knives.

"Where are we?" Listening to the fighting sounds outside, Shen Yanyan was a little confused. Wasn't she sleeping on the bed in the villa, so how did she get to the carriage?

"Jingcheng! I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up." After applying the medicine, Xiao Jingzhan blew gently on the red and swollen area.

Shen Yanyan felt a cool breath spreading on her head, but her face was inexplicably hot.

"How about I go help the people outside." Listening to the sounds of fighting, they were all masters, and there were quite a few people.

"No need. If they can't even handle such a small number of people, then I've kept them in vain!" Xiao Jingzhan poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Shen Yanyan took the tea and drank the whole cup.

He handed the cup over again, motioning Xiao Jingzhan to pour him another cup.

Xiao Jingzhan smiled and poured her another glass.

After finishing the second cup, Shen Yanyan put the cup in her hand on the small table and lifted the curtain to look outside.

My goodness, it would have been fine if I hadn’t looked, but I was shocked when I saw it. What’s going on with so many people?

All the secret guards during the day were guarding the carriage, looking around vigilantly, protecting the carriage in the middle like a city wall.

All around, the men in black were the same as Deadpool in the daytime, even their martial arts were the same, but these were obviously more difficult to deal with. They should be their trump cards, specially used to deal with Xiao Jingzhan.

The other people were the secret guards she saw in the courtyard yesterday. They were wearing the same secret guard uniforms and were easy to identify.

Both sides were well-trained masters, and the fight was fierce and intense under the moonlight.

But it seemed that the secret guards were better, they cooperated closely, and their swords danced like flying, dissolving the attacks of the deadpools one by one. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, which made people shudder.

The two groups fought fiercely.

After a while, the battle gradually subsided, leaving only corpses and blood all over the ground. Under the moonlight, the corpses looked particularly strange, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood!

An Yi flew to the carriage and reported, "Master, has the first batch been dealt with?"

"Well, keep going!" Xiao Jingzhan's tone was calm, not at all like someone who was being blocked and surrounded.

"Yes." An Yi waved his hand, and everyone drove the carriage forward again. The others followed in the dark, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Looking at An Yi like that, Shen Yanyan still admired him a little. It really took real ability to be the captain of the dark guard. Look at his energy. He fought from day to night without getting hurt at all. It was really amazing.

Shen Yanyan leaned over to the dark and cast an admiring look at him.

Shen Yanyan lowered the curtain, looked at Xiao Jingzhan and asked, "Such a fierce fight didn't attract the night patrol troops. How strange!"

Xiao Jingzhan saw her staring at An Yi, and his tone became colder, "Does it look good?"

An Yi, who was outside, felt a little cold on his back. It must be because it was night!

"What do you mean by good-looking or not? You haven't answered my question yet!" Shen Yanyan frowned and looked at Xiao Jingzhan. She didn't care whether anything she looked at was good-looking or not.

"The ones on night patrol today are the Imperial Guards, and the commander of the Imperial Guards is Prime Minister Gao's man." Although the assassination tonight was tacitly agreed upon, it cannot be made public. It is just a contest in secret. We can tear each other apart but not completely. Now is not the time.

"Then just let Prime Minister Gao go!" This old man Deng had hurt them so badly, she couldn't bear this humiliation, and when she returned to the palace, the first thing she would do was to make fun of Concubine Gao.

Shen Yanyan just remembered that in order to prevent rebellion, no army could enter the city without an imperial edict. Ten thousand imperial guards were guarding the imperial palace, and twenty thousand garrisons were stationed outside the city. Only the garrisons and the imperial guards could enter the capital. But just in case, another two thousand men were drawn from the imperial guards and the garrisons to take turns guarding the city defense and patrolling. It seemed that the imperial guards had just arrived today. No wonder so many people were dispatched to stop them from entering the city at night.

"The Imperial Guards didn't show up despite such a big commotion. It's time to replace the leader of the Imperial Guards." Xiao Jingzhan's eyes were cold and his face was a little dark as he looked outside.

"Yes, if it were your people, those guarding the palace would all be the prime minister's men, would you be able to sleep well every day?" Shen Yanyan didn't know these things, but the people who guarded the emperor's safety were all arranged by others, which really made her feel uneasy.

"The commander of the Imperial Guards is his man, but the Imperial Guards are not his." Xiao Jingzhan said meaningfully.

"An Yi, throw out the remaining baits, find their lair tonight, and give Prime Minister Gao a good reward!" Xiao Jingzhan said with a sneer on his face.

"Yes, Master. I have already asked someone to make the arrangements."
