Just when facing Zhu Jiu, Xuanyuan Che would talk more. Hearing this, he said, "I am in a state of impetuousness recently. Lan Zhaoyi is beautiful. Let her follow her and look at her comfortably."

This...is also a reason?

Zhu Jiu glanced at him with fun, then pulled out the dagger he carried with him and threw it to Lan Zhaoyi, "Hold this self-defense, you should have learned how to use a dagger in Loulan, right?"

The land of Loulan is not as peaceful as the Central Plains. Even women have to learn self-defense. In that place, they respect martial arts and not literary.

After taking the dagger, Lan Zhaoyi's eyes were bright. Although the Queen's dagger was not inlaid with any fancy gems and looked simple and ordinary, for her who often touched weapons, she knew whether the weight of this weapon was good or bad as soon as she took over it.

Suddenly, she thanked Zhu Jiu happily. After Zhu Jiu nodded to her, he rode his horse and took the guards into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

There were more than one wild boar, otherwise the villagers at the foot of the mountain would not be seriously affected.

Zhu Jiu walked on one side, while Xuanyuan Che took Zu Menglan to the other side.

This time Nana didn't follow her. Zu Menglan was a little scared, but she tried her best to ride a horse to follow Xuanyuan Che. But she was not lucky and was shocked halfway through the road. She fell off the horse and broke one of her arms.

Zu Menglan burst into tears in pain, looking for people everywhere, wanting to avoid the summer palace.

She didn't want to come here to hunt at all. If His Majesty hadn't called her, she should have drunk sweet sour plum soup and had delicious desserts in other palaces.

"Yes, is anyone?"

She endured the pain, hugged her arms and limped, walking the way she came, holding the dagger given by Zhu Jiu tightly in her hand, completely treating it as a life-saving treasure.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

The surroundings were very quiet, with shadows of trees everywhere, and the dark environment seemed to isolate all light sources that could be shined in, and a chill gradually roamed in the air.

It seemed that she heard her voice, and the person who had walked away had indeed rode back.

But Xuanyuan Che looked down at her with a cold expression. Seeing her miserable appearance, he even showed a sarcastic smile: "What a waste, just you deserve to be close to the queen?"

Zu Menglan really wanted to scold this lunatic, but she was still the emperor, but she was so arrogant that she couldn't even tolerate a woman. No wonder Grandmaster Rong was sent to the Lingnan area by Xuanyuan Che. She heard that Grandmaster Rong was a good minister!

And he was exiled because he had some friendship with the queen.

But considering Loulan behind her, Zu Menglan still endured it and looked at him with pursed lips and hopefully: "Your Majesty, I have injured my hand and can't serve you with you. Can you send me back to the palace to rest?"

"Do you think Gu asked you out today and would let you go back?".z.br

Xuanyuan Che looked at her with a mocking look, then smiled, rode his horse toward the deeper forest, leaving a sentence before leaving: "When you die in this forest by then, it has nothing to do with orphans. The queen will only think that you are not capable enough and you are not willing to die!"

Boom!

Zu Menglan felt like she was bolt from the blue.

She knew that there would be no good things for the black-bellied emperor to ask her out today, but she never expected that he would have the intention to kill her!

But what did he mean just now? Could it be that today's affairs were also instructed by the queen?

By the way, it must be like this. Who in the palace doesn’t know that Xuanyuan Che listens to the queen’s words the most, and even loves houses and mists. As long as the queen likes, he will favor three points.

But when he arrived at her, the emperor wanted to kill her!

If the queen disagrees, Xuanyuan Che will definitely not dare to do this. No matter how much he hates her, he can only hold it in his heart.

But... Zu Menglan couldn't figure out where she offended Zhu Jiu, so that Zhu Jiu would kill him?

At this moment, a cold wind blew over and rustling sounds sounded around.

Someone is approaching!

Zu Menglan's heart tightened and looked around and tightened the dagger in her hand, but her mind woke up at this moment.

.

No, no, she guessed wrongly. If the queen wanted to harm her, why did she save her in the water lily pond?

Moreover, just before leaving, she gave her this dagger.

Could it be that what is the mystery of the dagger?

Subconsciously, she looked at the dagger without having time to see how many people in black suddenly appeared around her, nor did she have time to care how murderous the eyes of these people in black staring at her.

Just as she was fiddling with the dagger, suddenly, the handle of the dagger fell off and a lead wire was exposed inside.

There is actually a signal flare hidden in this dagger?!

Looking at the signal flare that was only the size of a thumb, Zu Menglan hesitated. She didn't know if the amount of gunpowder in this signal flare could fly into the sky.

But seeing the man in black holding a knife approaching her, Zu Menglan gritted her teeth: I will fight for life!

She grabbed the dagger and rushed out. At this time, the signal flare finally rushed into the sky and exploded directly, forming a thick red smoke, which was very eye-catching even during the day.

On the other side of the forest, the traces of wild boars were found. Zhu Jiu, who was about to aim his bow and arrow at the wild boar, suddenly heard the sound, narrowing his eyes slightly, knowing that Zu Menglan had discovered the secret of the dagger, so he immediately rushed to the other side.

The eight guards behind her suddenly rushed away. Although the wild boar was in front of her, they were still worried that something might happen to Zhu Jiuhui, so they hurriedly followed him.

However, these people were much slower than Zhu Jiu. When they arrived at Zu Menglan, many men in black had fallen from this dense forest.

Zhu Jiu pulled the bow and arrow behind him before walking up to help Zu Menglan up, "Is it okay?"

Zu Menglan was glad that she had enough brains. After thinking about it, she thought it wasn't Zhu Jiu who was attacking her. Now she saw Zhu Jiutian rescue her like a god descending to earth. She couldn't help but burst into tears, "Woooo, Queen! Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have died here today!"

There have been more people from Central Plains who have come into contact with her during this period, and she speaks much more easily.

When Zhu Jiu saw that she was scared, the guards rushed over and handed the men in black to them for disposal.

The guards quickly took the man in black to interrogate him, but Zhu Jiu did not kill them, so they all left a living opportunity.

However, when one of the men in black woke up, they saw that something was wrong, and they looked dead and bit the poison in their mouth like home.

Things like this happened one after another. When Zhu Jiu found out that something was wrong, he immediately stopped them, and finally left a living mouth.

As soon as the assassin's mask was pulled off, a face with a deep outline was revealed. He did not look like a person from the Central Plains, and his skin was darker.

Zhu Jiu's eyes were like cold breeze and stared at him, "Who are you? Who is instructed? Why do you attack Lan Zhaoyi?"
