In the midst of the fight, Yelu Ye turned back to glance at Ye Li who was still standing not far away. He raised his brows and smiled, "Princess is indeed brave."
Ye Li leaned against the pillar, calmly saying, "If Prince Yelu didn't lead them here, I would be happier. Actually, right now I'm so scared my legs can't move. "
Having his intentions exposed, Yelu Ye didn't feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "Princess Consort found out ah. Actually, this one only wanted to be a hero saving a beauty. I believe princess won't blame this one, right? "Hearing this, An San raised his brows. He grabbed an assassin with one hand and thrust it forward. The bright light of the blade pierced towards Yelu Ye. Hearing the wind, Yelu Ye nimbly turned around and kicked the assassin who had lost control. "This one … be careful."
An San expressionlessly raised his hand, apologizing without sincerity, "It was a slip of the hand. Prince, please forgive me."
Yelu Ye raised his brows, smiling, "Princess indeed has many capable people by her side. Of course, I won't blame you."
"Yelu Ye! Go die! " It seemed that this casual fight had finally hurt the assassin's pride. With a loud roar, several black-clothed men threw themselves at Yelu Ye. Their attacks were so fierce that it made one's heart tremble. Yelu Ye finally began to gather his energy to deal with them. Ye Li leaned against the pillar, looking at the chaos around them. She gave Mo Jingqi, who was surrounded by guards, a high degree of disdain. His subjects were being slaughtered by assassins. As the monarch, half of his guards didn't move. He refused to let them leave his side to deal with the assassins. She even said that Mo Jingqi was good at controlling people's hearts. Now, it seemed that in the face of life and death, he had forgotten everything. Even though it wasn't a life and death situation yet.
With a few clear sounds, several more black-clothed men rushed into the building. Ye Li couldn't help but frown. The palace was heavily guarded. How capable were these assassins to be able to infiltrate the palace on such a large scale? And the palace guards. It had been almost fifteen minutes, but not a single guard had arrived! Faintly feeling that something was wrong, Ye Li began to move out of the building without leaving a trace. There was a strange sound in the air. Ye Li narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "Let's go! They want to set fire to the building! "Just as he finished speaking, An Er, who was in the corner, had already grabbed Princess Changle and flew out. Behind them, Qing Luan nodded to Ye Li and followed them out. An San, who was beside Ye Li, beat back an assassin with a palm. He grabbed Ye Li and jumped out of Zhai Xing Lou.
Amidst the rain of arrows, Ye Li found a place to hide and steadied herself. When she turned around, the first and second floors of Zhai Xing Lou were already on fire. Apparently, there were some fire arrows among the arrows, and Ye Li smelled some fuel from upstairs. Moreover, it was the beginning of June. Zhai Xing Lou was made of wood and paint, so it was easy to set fire. Everyone was on the third floor. Once the fire started, the already chaotic Zhai Xing Lou was filled with endless screams and cries for help. "An San, save them!"
"Wangfei, we didn't bring many people into the palace." An San frowned.
Ye Li said in a low voice, "Don't worry about me. Save them first." Today, those who had the qualifications to ascend Zhai Xing Lou were all important officials of the court. Not to mention more than half dead, even a few injured would be troublesome.
Helpless, An San could only wave his hand for the Shadow Guards who had followed behind to go upstairs and save them. Very quickly, Mo Jingqi and the other imperial concubines were all rescued by the guards. The guards who had originally surrounded Mo Jingqi and had no place to fight immediately faced the assassins outside. In the darkness, no one knew how many assassins there were. The imperial concubines, princes, and princesses of high status were still fine, as they had people protecting them. As for the imperial concubines who were not ranked in the rankings, no one would care if they died. Upon landing, the Empress looked all around. With great difficulty, she finally saw Ye Li. Without caring for anything else, she hurriedly ran over. "Wangfei … Changle …" Ye Li said, "Wangfei, there is no need to worry. Princess Changle has already been sent to a safe place." The Empress let out a breath, smiling faintly. "Thank you …"
"Be careful!" Ye Li pulled the Empress away, pushing her towards the guards who had followed over. Tilting her head, she dodged the incoming blade and nimbly slipped past the assassin's side. The assassin, who had originally been determined to succeed, only felt a chill in his chest. Dazedly lowering his head, he saw blood spurt out from his chest. Ye Li turned her head and said to the guards, "Take Her Highness the Empress to a safe place." The phoenix embroidered on the Empress's clothes was too dazzling. She had only just landed when two arrows greeted her. After instructing the guards, Ye Li's hand flashed and she once again melded into the darkness. Her eyes calmly stared at everything in front of her.
"Princess Ding is indeed nimble. This humble prince admires you." A voice sounded from beside her, carrying a trace of ridicule.
Ye Li narrowed her eyes, elbowing the person who had suddenly appeared beside her. The person who had come was clearly not an easy person to deal with. He raised his hand, intending to grab her arm. Ye Li's lips hooked into a cold smile. She quickly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and slashed it towards the person who had come. The person who had come snorted and dodged to the side. In the blink of an eye, Ye Li had already sent out a flying kick. She could clearly see that the person in front of her was Yelu Ye who had run off to who knew where in the chaos. Yelu Ye raised his hand to block, but then let go because Ye Li's dagger was already a bayonet. Yelu Ye turned around and helplessly said with a smile, "Princess Ding, the enemy is right in front of us. Are we still going to have internal strife?" He had seen many women who knew martial arts. The women of the Northern Tribes, regardless of age, all knew a few moves. But this was the first time he had seen a woman with such fierce moves. Compared to a specially trained assassin, she was not inferior. Yelu Ye finally confirmed that now was not a good time to provoke her. If they fought and someone else took advantage of the situation, then it would really be trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.
Ye Li flew to the side and looked coldly at him as she said, "Internal strife? Prince Yelu used the wrong words. It must be that you are not used to the language of the Da Chu State. "
Yelu Ye rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "At least we are on the same side now, aren't we? This one only wanted to protect Princess. Now it seems that there is no need. " Ye Li looked at him with a fake smile and said, "There is no need to protect me. Prince Yelu should stay further away from me. Be careful not to injure others." Yelu Ye watched as Ye Li accurately used a dagger to cut the neck of a person who had tried to sneak attack her. He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his neck. This was the Princess Consort of the Da Chu State's Ding Country. She really was as vicious as the legendary Prince Ding. But … … only this kind of woman was interesting … …
"Protect the Emperor!" The imperial guards of the palace finally arrived. The large group of imperial guards rushed in and caused the originally dark situation to lose their advantage. Ye Li turned back to look at the one-sided situation. She did not hesitate to turn and head deeper into the palace. Yelu Ye, who had been staring at her, rubbed his chin and followed with interest.
Ye Li quickly shuttled through the gloomy palace, as if she had walked through the palace thousands of times before and was familiar with the layout of the palace. The slender figure nimbly landed under the eaves of a palace. Ye Li stopped in her tracks and raised her head to look at the eaves behind her. She said lightly, "Prince Yelu, why are you following ben fei at this time?" Having been discovered, Yelu Ye didn't dawdle and jumped down from the roof. He said with a smile, "Is Princess going to find Prince Ding? Do you know where Prince Ding is? "Ye Li said lightly," This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Prince Yelu. If Prince Yelu has the time to think about this, why don't you think about how to explain why you started assassinating people when you just arrived in the Da Chu State. "
