Soon, she would be the bait to lure these people.
Under such circumstances, she did not know if she could come back alive.
The guards in white must have known her plan, so they borrowed the clothes very quickly.
But now, Lin Mengya was faced with a new problem.
If she put on the Queen Mother's cloak, she could almost pass it off as the real one.
But what about the Emperor's cloak?
She put it on, and it was obviously two sizes too big.
"Why don't you take it off?"
The guards in white were indeed the most loyal subordinates of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Seeing that she was in a difficult situation, someone volunteered.
The only flaw was that these people were either a little tall or a little burly.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya chose one who was not bad and dressed him up reluctantly.
"Later, we will rush out. We will pretend to be the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and then find a few more people to surround us. This way, we will be more credible. We will move towards the direction of the street, and at the same time, the Emperor and the Queen Mother will stay where they are. When we successfully attract most of the attention, we will retreat to the palace. "
Before this, she had a little understanding of the situation.
The current situation was that the palace was not lost, because this was the most important place, and it was still like an iron wall.
But the assassins were very clear about the situation in Dragon City, so they had sent people to cut off the route from the palace to here, and at the same time, the road out of the city was also cut off.
In this way, as long as their firepower was a little stronger, they might be able to kill the Emperor and the Queen Mother before the reinforcements arrived.
Almost all the people were gathered on these few streets, which led to extreme chaos.
The one who killed and the one who was killed were both racing against time.
As long as the time dragged on, the Emperor and the Queen Mother would definitely find a chance to break through. As long as they mixed with the reinforcements, the assassins would lose this best chance.
So, this trip would be very dangerous.
"Miss, don't worry. We will definitely protect your safety with our lives."
The guards in white were still trying to comfort her, but Lin Mengya knew that she was digging her own grave.
It was just that if she won, she would get a very handsome reward.
"Alright, then this little life of mine is in your hands!"
She cupped her fists and smiled without the slightest bit of bashfulness.
He put on the Empress Sovereign's cloak and pulled out the hairpins on his head. If his hair was disheveled, there would be more chances to confuse him.
However, just when the guard, who was disguised as the emperor, was about to put his arms around her shoulders, his cloak was pulled down by someone.
"Xi … Your Highness!"
The white-clothed bodyguards all had looks of surprise on their faces. Wasn't His Highness Xi clearing out the enemies on the road to the palace? Why would he appear here?
"Let's go."
Murong Xi did not say anything else. He draped his cloak over his body to hide the bloodstains on his body.
When Lin Mengya came back to her senses, she was pressed into his arms.
"You really know how to cause trouble!"
The sound of the man gnashing his teeth could be heard.
Lin Mengya smiled and her eyes curved slightly. She secretly wrapped her arms around Long Tianhao's waist.
"If I don't do it, there will naturally be others who will do it. You can't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child. How can I be satisfied if such a great benefit doesn't fall into my lap? "
Murong Xi could only hold her shoulders even more tightly. After a cold snort, he reached out and pulled the cloak to cover her face.
"Be careful, this thing is highly poisonous. If you encounter danger, you can use it as a hidden weapon. "
She stuffed a small cloth bag into his palm.
Murong Xi secretly touched it and found that there were many small wax balls in it. Each of them was the size of a peanut.
"You really have the leisure to do this."
Although there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, Murong Xi still allowed her to tie the cloth bag around his waist.
"It's better to be prepared. Oh yes, this thing costs one tael of silver each. Use it sparingly and remember to pay later. "
Finally, Murong Xi could not help but glare at the woman in his arms.
Why was she still so frivolous at a time like this?
The latter smiled at him and shook her head.
"There's no discount. Thank you for your patronage."
Murong Xi's face darkened. He felt that it would be better to throw her out and let her be killed!
Unfortunately, the woman's small hands were tightly wrapped around his waist.
Sooner or later, he would teach this b * tch a lesson!
The few of them rushed out of the door. Amidst the dense crowd of people, the bodyguard's white clothes were exceptionally conspicuous.
She tensed up and tried her best to keep up with Long Tianhao's pace.
Murong Xi was a little surprised. Not only was this person not a hindrance, he was also able to seize the initiative.
There were even a few alleys that he could not remember, but the woman could point them out in time. It was as if the map of the entire Dragon City was imprinted in her mind.
By the time they dodged another group of people's attacks, they were already very close to the end of the street.
"What's the situation now?"
Murong Xi asked in a low voice as he leaned against the alley and gasped for breath.
The bodyguard in charge of scouting ahead was in a very bad condition. His left arm was cut off by an assassin. If Gong Ya had not bandaged him in time to stop the bleeding, he would have been dead by now.
"There are … a lot of people guarding outside. We fought with them. These people are very experienced. Whether it's civilians or other … other aristocratic families, when they go over … they will be killed by them. "
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at Long Tianhao.
She gestured to the nearest two bodyguards in white to temporarily take care of the wounded, and then walked to Long Tianhao's side.
Seeing him frowning, she felt a little distressed.
"You must have seen these people before, right?"
It was probably not good news that Long Tianhao had arrived in time.
The latter nodded with a cold face.
"These people's martial arts are not good, but they are ruthless and disregard their own safety. We don't have enough men, so it's difficult for us to break through in a short time. Moreover, they have explosives in their hands. "
Lin Mengya lowered her head and thought about it. She felt that these people's behavior was a little unreasonable.
"Where were the explosives placed during the first explosion?"
Murong Xi was at the scene at that time and immediately recalled.
"It seemed to be next to the high platform. The second time was at the exit with the most crowd, and the next few times should be at the exit where the crowd gathers."
If it were her, wouldn't the success rate be higher if she directly placed the explosives under the high platform?
Unless, their target was not the Emperor and the Empress!
"Quickly inform the Emperor and the Empress to immediately dismiss all the aristocratic families. Let them follow the crowd, don't stop, and must run around!"
Although Lin Mengya had guessed the real purpose of the other party, she still felt puzzled.
It seemed that the other party's target was the royal family, but in fact, they were taking the opportunity to slaughter the aristocratic families.
After all, after blocking several exits, there were still few civilians, and most of them were aristocratic families.
If they were all gathered in one place, it would be convenient for the murderers to assassinate.
Only by moving around would they be unable to find a specific target.
As for whether it was safe or not, it was up to everyone!
After a good rest, the team continued to move forward.
The air was filled with the damp smell of gunpowder. It was the smell of melting ice and snow after the explosives had exploded.
Lin Mengya was tightly held in Long Tianhao's arms, and all she could hear were the sounds of fighting and screams.
This was not a good feeling for her.
She could not help but shrink into a small ball, but she adjusted her pace at all times, trying not to be a good-for-nothing who would be a burden to others.
Their team was like a small meat grinder.
Lin Mengya's nose was full of the smell of death and blood.
She inadvertently glanced at a person dressed like a commoner, waving a silver blade, but he was killed by a guard in white.
She could only choose to hurry past all of this and pretend that she did not see it.
Death became the most common topic of conversation that night.
Perhaps many years later in Dragon City, people would still remember this feast of blood.
An arm hugged her tightly, giving her the first and most profound sense of security.
"Don't be afraid."
Long Tianhao said softly as he blocked the assassination of a fish that slipped through the net.
"I'm fine, don't be distracted."
He heard that she was trying hard to maintain her composure, and she was even comforting him.
In the past, he hated this kind of burden the most.
Why didn't he feel the slightest bit impatient today?
The killing continued. Whether it was the guards in white or the murderers hidden in the crowd, they all seemed to have gone mad.
They attacked more fiercely, and Lin Mengya's team could not move an inch.
In the end, as the guards in white fell one by one, they were in a precarious situation.
Then, Murong Xi had to let go of her in his arms and pushed her behind him.
"Don't look."
He flung the cloak that was draped over his shoulders and wrapped it tightly around her little head.
The steel knife in his hand was already stained with blood, and even the blade was bent, no longer as sharp as before.
But in his hands, it was still majestic, carrying with it a cold and gloomy light, as if it was the end of hell.
Lin Mengya took off the cloak and stared at his back.
Unconsciously, she seemed to be used to the fear of seeing him like this, protecting her from behind without hesitation.
It had nothing to do with being strong, even though she knew that she was a woman who had a much stronger endurance than ordinary women.
But at this moment, there was only endless worry and heartache.
Because that was the man she loved.
