C428 Screaming late at night (1/2)
”That will depend if you have the ability to protect her.” Lian Fu caught the edge of his sword between his fingers and moved his body away.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly. He absentmindedly felt that the cultivation technique was no longer that youth that only knew how to follow Lian Ruyue. His entire body faintly emitted a dangerous aura, causing him to have no choice but to treat this person as an opponent.
The sharp tip of the sword touched his skin, causing a slight tinge of red to appear. He said disdainfully, ”Lian Fu, remember, no one can take Yue Er from my hands. When I liked her, you were still in the nurse's embrace!”
”Second Brother!” At this moment, Xiao Hu quickly walked over, and he held Xiao He's wrist with one hand as he exerted strength in his body.
”Hmph.” Xiao He remembered that he still had something important to do today, so he coldly snorted and sheathed the longsword in his hand. His ice-cold gaze slowly retracted from Lian Fu's body before he hurriedly left with Xiao Hu.
Lian Meng narrowed his eyes. He moved his hand over his neck, leaving behind a trace of blood. His eyes reflected a trace of coldness.
Night came, and the banquet gradually came to an end.
Zhou Chengdi said to the left and right, ”It's getting late, I should get up and return to the palace.”
Lian Yanqing led the rest of the Lian Family to their knees and said, ”This humble subject respectfully sends Your Majesty off to thank Your Majesty for his grace.”
The rest of the people also knelt down, one after the other. ”We respectfully send you off, your majesty.”
Emperor Zhou Cheng, Lian Zhaoyi, and Feng Guiyao left first. The others also took their leave, including their mother, Lian Yanqing, Lian Yanfeng, and the others. They stood at the entrance of the banquet hall to send off the princes, princesses, and nobles.
Lian Yan Qing sighed inwardly.
Ah!
Ah!
As Zhou Chengdi and his team passed through the garden, two female screams suddenly sounded out from an unknown location. The screams pierced through the dark night, causing everyone to feel numb and stop in their tracks.
”Protect the emperor!” Jiang Keji immediately drew his sword and protected Zhou Cheng Di's surroundings along with the other guards. He vigilantly looked around his surroundings.
Lian Yan Qing hurriedly walked over and his legs became weak. He almost fell to the ground as he said fearfully, ”This has disturbed the emperor. This humble subject fears that it might be some blind servant. This humble subject will send someone to investigate right now.”
He frowned and looked around. Where did this voice come from? He wondered if Lian Shiya was faking it again.
However, after that, they listened attentively, but no one made a sound. The crowd held their breaths, not daring to even breathe.
Ah!
Just as Jiang Keji was about to retract his sword, he heard another miserable scream. This sound was truly terrifying in the dusky night air.
”The voice is coming from here, Your Majesty!” At this time, a person in the crowd pointed at a fake mountain in front of them as he spoke with a trembling voice.
”Liantian, hurry up and go take a look.” Lian Yan Qing's brows tightly knitted together as he immediately instructed the manor's guards.
”Your majesty, why not let Chief Jiang go with us?” At this moment, Xiao Zhenhai walked over and whispered into Zhou Cheng Di's ear.
Zhou Chengdi felt that Xiao Zhenhai's words made sense, so he nodded and said, ”Jiang Keji, bring some people over to take a look and see who is playing tricks on us.”
”Yes sir!”
Jiang Keji and Lian Tian led their subordinates and approached the fake mountain together. Everyone was standing not far from the fake mountain and closely watched, not even blinking, afraid that they would miss a single detail.
