Chapter 275 Escort!
[@Sheng Zhixing (the fugitive emperor of Nanzhao): The two lions dance more flexibly than ordinary lions. The biggest reason is that the lion heads move with a larger amplitude and are more agile. The lion dancers who act as the front bodies of the lions must be too flexible, right?
How do you achieve such a large arc for the hands and body? 】
As expected of a professional investigator, his observation ability and sharpness are amazing!
When the students at the banquet heard Sheng Zhixing's words, they all became alert.
[@贺凛(大明星): I have heard that some acrobatic troupes use dwarfs as tall as children for performance effects and hide them in leather suits so that no one will notice them.]
Jiang Lili watched her classmates' speeches and remembered what Xin Che had once told her about a strange thing he had encountered on the battlefield.
Master Liao and Jiang Lili thought of the same thing at this time: [The prince once told me that some people would train dwarfs to be killers, and then have them disguise themselves as children to make the target be on guard, which makes it very easy to succeed.]
As for why Master Liao knew this... this story was told by Xin Che to comfort him and prove that it was okay even if he didn't grow taller...
Master Liao feels that he is learning martial arts from Xin Che now, and by the time he is five years old, he has the potential to become an unexpected child killer! Make history!
【@学委員薛蔚（太傅的子）：That is to say, there is a high possibility that the dwarf killer is hiding under the lion's robe.】
Zhou Jushan looked at everyone's chat history, moved Emperor Qingning's wine glass to the southeast, and then poured wine for Emperor Qingning.
This was the secret code he and Xin Yingshu agreed upon before the palace banquet began, and it was a sign of danger.
Xin Yingshu saw Zhou Jushan moving the emperor's wine glass, drank the wine in his hand, then took off the armor on his hand and played with the wine glass in his hand nonchalantly.
Emperor Qingning, who was enjoying the lion dance, was unaware of the danger and was obviously very satisfied with the lion dance performance.
Thinking that the banquet was hosted by the eldest prince, Emperor Qingning asked Zhou Jushan to reward the eldest prince, Prince An, with a glass of wine.
Emperor Qingning raised his wine glass and said to the eldest prince, "Congji, this performance of 'Lion of Luck Delivering Blessings' that you arranged is really refreshing to me. There hasn't been such a good performance in the palace for a long time."
Being praised by the emperor, the eldest prince showed a warm smile: "If I can make my father happy, then whatever I do is worth it."
Prince Jin also spoke up for the eldest prince at this time: "You don't know how much effort my elder brother has put into hosting this Lantern Festival banquet to make you smile."
"Big brother did many things himself. In order to supervise the lion dancers' performances, he even lived and ate with them."
When the eldest prince heard what Prince Jin said, he narrowed his eyes and had a strange expression.
What exactly is his younger brother trying to do? He's trying to be in the spotlight one moment and speaking for himself the next.
Prince An was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Just as his brain was racing, trying to figure out what was wrong, the two jubilant lions in the banquet hall suddenly opened their mouths!
"Swoosh, swoosh" two hidden arrows shot out from the lion's mouth!
Prince An's pupils shrank. How could this happen?
After being reminded by Sheng Zhixing, Zhou Jushan pulled Emperor Qingning down to squat when the lion opened its mouth.
"Click——"
The two arrows penetrated deeply into the wall behind Emperor Qingning, creating a crack!
The atmosphere at the scene changed from lively to solemn in an instant!
Although Zhou Jushan was mentally prepared after Sheng Zhixing's reminder, he still shouted in panic: "There's an assassin! Protect the emperor~~~"
The banquet was in chaos, the lion dance team's costumes had been thrown aside, and there were three assassins hiding under each of the two lions!
The people who shot the arrows into the lion's mouth were actually two short dwarfs, about the same size as children.
At this time, the crossbows in their hands fired continuously, "Swish, swish--"
Another four arrows flew out, and this time the table that was blocking the view had been lifted up by the assassin!
Emperor Qingning opened his eyes wide. He was quite skilled when he was young, but even though he still had a foundation in martial arts, his reactions were a bit slower.
Just as the black arrow was about to pierce his shoulder, a teacup flew over with a "ding" sound and blocked the arrow.
The arrow hit the wall behind Emperor Qingning and the teacup shattered into pieces.
All this happened in a flash.
The Emperor Qingning, who survived the disaster, looked up at the person who saved him with a teacup, and found that it was Concubine Ying, who was a stranger to him!
Xin Yingshu had already walked to the side of Emperor Qingning and said to Zhou Jushan, "Eunuch Zhou, take the emperor away."
Emperor Qingning looked at Xin Yingshu deeply.
Emperor Qingning's skills have not changed over the years, but he himself has changed.
Xin Yingshu didn't even bother to even look at Emperor Qingning. She was just afraid that after Emperor Qingning died, he would ask her to be buried with him. Besides, it would be very troublesome if this damn emperor died now.
Zhou Jushan protected the emperor and took him to escape through the side door closest to the dragon throne. However, before they reached the side door, a group of masked assassins rushed out from the side door, there were fifteen of them!
Even if there were secret guards coming down from the beams to protect the emperor, they were still unable to hold out.
[@周居善: Damn it, I have already suffered the heaviest blow in my second half of life, I don’t want to suffer a second blow! ]
[@江麗麗: Brother Haiwang, don't be scared, trust our modern anti-stab equipment! And you have Xin Yingshu, a master, by your side! How are Xiaoxiao and Xue Wei? ]
Jiang Lili had already distributed red envelopes of concealed and handy weapons to the students present.
After Jiang Lili's reminder, Zhou Jushan was no longer afraid. As the emperor's personal eunuch, he could not easily draw his weapon and could only hide.
At this moment, he could only throw whatever he could at the assassins. He could only be thankful that he had been exercising well to prevent himself from becoming a sissy.
【@薛蔚: I’m fine! 】
When Xue Wei was a child, he was sent to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts because he was too active and could not sit still. After traveling to ancient times, he did not dare to slack off, so he asked his father to hire a martial arts master to train him, just as an exercise after preparing for the exam, combining both movement and stillness.
Now I can barely fight a few moves with the assassin.
Xue Wei, who was sitting in the corner, used the stun gun hidden in his sleeve to sneak attack an assassin and snatched the knife from his hand.
【@江麗麗: Where's Xiaoxiao? How's Xiaoxiao? 】
[@侯潇潇: I brought the poisonous insect with me, don't worry, I'm fine! @贺凛@戚允, big star and squad leader, hurry up and inform my grandfather's servants and the Miao people in the capital! There's a coup in the palace! Hurry and come to the rescue! ]
【@贺麟: Okay! I'm already on my way back to the city, hang in there and be careful! 】
Hou Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Jushan, who was surrounded by assassins, still had the strength to fight back.
She was just about to slip out, leave this place of trouble, and find a chance to tip off someone, when she saw Prince Jin, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside her, using his crutches to attack an assassin, and then running towards Emperor Qingning.
