The White-haired Queen

Chapter 142 Wen Lanyue is assassinated

Seeing the long sword flashing with cold light getting closer and closer to her, Wen Lanyue's heart suddenly jumped, and a chill ran up her spine. She looked at Hong He in horror, and saw that she had a smile on her lips, nodded slightly, and her body swayed slightly, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, and didn't realize the danger Wen Lanyue was facing.

Looking at Jing Li again, although he was the closest to him, there was a woman dancing with a sword next to him. If he tried to rescue him, he would definitely hurt that woman.

As for Lin Zhiyu, he was a little further away from him. However, this sudden sword attack was too unexpected and as fast as lightning. Even Lin Zhiyu might not have time to rescue him.

Wen Lanyue was extremely anxious, and various countermeasures flashed through her mind. If she rashly tried to resist, she would definitely expose her skills. No! She couldn't do that!

Suddenly, she had an idea: That's right, we can dodge it! Just let the sword pass by our ears. Thinking of this, Wen Lanyue took a deep breath, calmed her mind, then picked up the wine bowl, showed Bei Mingyu a sweet smile, and raised the wine glass to toast him to express her gratitude.

At the same time, Bei Mingyu also noticed that Wen Lanyue was in danger. He was startled and was about to open his mouth to remind her, but he saw that she avoided the fatal blow in an extremely clever way. Bei Mingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he decided not to intervene in the matter for the time being, but to treat this incident as a good show. So, he stared at Wen Lanyue intently, looking forward to what would happen next.

Wen Lanyue only heard the sound of a sword passing by her ears. When the other party put away the sword, she pretended to bend down to adjust her shoes, and gently let out a breath, sighing, "That was a close call!"

Afterwards, Wen Lanyue stood up, thinking that she had escaped unnoticed, but she had never expected that the opponent would stab her with a sharp sword again. She wanted to let this attack go quietly, but seeing that the opponent was so aggressive and seeking death, if she did not shout again, she would be exposed. So, she immediately screamed: "There is..."

However, before she finished her words, Lin Zhiyu had already taken her hand and dodged the sword with an elegant rotation. Then, Lin Zhiyu turned his palm back and mercilessly chopped at the other party's wrist holding the sword. The other party's wrist was in unbearable pain, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Lin Zhiyu took advantage of the victory and used a move called "Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves". His palm wind was like a knife, and he went straight to the opponent's shoulder. Then he backhanded it and kicked it. The opponent instantly lost the ability to resist and knelt on the ground in embarrassment.

Bei Ming Yu applauded and said, "What great skills!" After a pause, he said to the assassin, "You actually have some courage to be so presumptuous in front of me." Then he slowly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and seemingly casually drew it back and forth in the air.

With this light stroke, two guards appeared beside Bei Mingyu like ghosts. Bei Mingyu's eyes were cold and his tone was chilling as he ordered, "Go and take that arrogant guy down immediately and put him in jail to await your punishment."

Such a change made the originally lively banquet hall suddenly become silent. Everyone was intimidated by Bei Mingyu's majesty and dared not make a sound. Bei Mingyu's eyes did not stay on the troublemaker, but turned to look at Wen Lanyue beside him and asked softly: "Did this change scare Envoy Wen? If you feel uncomfortable, this banquet can be cancelled. Everything depends on Envoy Wen's wishes."

Wen Lanyue was secretly happy in her heart, but she pretended to be overly frightened. She patted her towering chest and said in a tender voice, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was just a little frightened, and it's nothing serious. As for whether the banquet will continue, I will naturally follow Your Majesty's arrangements."

Bei Mingyu nodded slightly, showing his satisfaction. He said loudly: "If that's the case, let's continue. Don't let this little thing affect everyone's interest." After that, he waved his hand, indicating that everyone didn't need to be restrained.

Then, a group of dancers in pure white dresses walked lightly into the center of the venue. Accompanied by the melodious music, they danced like beautiful white butterflies. Their graceful waists were like willow branches swaying in the wind; their graceful figures were like blooming flowers; their soft and boneless jade hands were more like elves dancing on the strings of a musical instrument. Every movement and every posture was so elegant and moving that people were intoxicated and could not help themselves.

Wen Lanyue pretended to be watching the dance performance with great interest, but in fact she had carefully looked at everyone in the banquet hall. She secretly observed everyone's expressions and demeanor, trying to find something unusual. However, when she looked around, she did not find anyone's face or behavior to be obviously different.

So, she held her breath, concentrated her mind, and began to use her extraordinary sixth sense to further explore the surrounding situation. After some effort, her attention finally fell on the wolf lord of the Ebony tribe sitting opposite her. The wolf lord was tall and mighty, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and exuded a kind of majesty and domineering. Although he looked no different from others on the surface, Wen Lanyue felt a faint sense of danger emanating from him.

After locking onto the target, Wen Lanyue leaned over to Jing Li and whispered softly, "Find a few people who are agile and skilled in martial arts, and have them take turns to monitor the Ebony Wolf Lord. Don't let your guard down for even a moment! There must be something strange about this person. The breakthrough point is either from the assassin just now or from this person. Remember, don't alert the enemy, or all your efforts will be wasted!"

Jing Li nodded and said, "Okay." He was well aware of the importance of this operation and he had to be careful and not be careless at all.

Wen Lanyue looked ahead with a firm gaze and continued, "The cards in our hands and our strength are of vital importance and must not be exposed easily. Let Lin Zhiyu be responsible for protecting my safety tonight to ensure that everything is foolproof. And you, need to say hello to the prince, explain the situation to him, and go to the cell to interrogate the assassin who was just caught. Time is running out, and we must obtain useful information from the assassin as soon as possible to prevent the situation from becoming more complicated." There was a firmness and decisiveness in her tone, as if she was ready to deal with all kinds of difficulties.

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Let's get the members of the Shangxie delegation to sing and dance with us!"
