At the same time as the reminder, Yuan Qi had already jumped into the air from his horse, flying towards the carriage like a roc spreading its wings, waving a kitchen knife to deflect the arrows that shot towards the carriage. This was obviously a careful sniper kill, because the power of the arrow shot was very powerful, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. At the same time as the arrow was shot, a group of masked men in black with long swords rushed over. While Yuan Qi deflected the arrow, he waved his hand and went straight towards the archer who was still hiding behind. Faced with this situation, Yuan Qi did not hold back at all and fully displayed his greatest strength. Boom A loud sound like thunder sounded on the hillside where the archers were hiding, followed by screams. Lin Sha's bodyguards were not slow to respond and had already used short crossbows to shoot at the people who were rushing towards them. After taking care of the archers behind, Yuan Qi and Lin Sha's bodyguards also attacked the black-clothed and masked men who were rushing towards them. The leader with the best martial arts skills volleyed down with a palm, and the most violent counterattack began immediately. "Leave the leader alive." Lin Sha's guard leader Xilizhu shouted. The two little girls in the car were looking outside. They didn't have time to lie down when Yuan Qi was telling him, and then they just lay tiredly in the corner of the car. Both of them saw Yuan Qi through the car window. The figure who had just jumped outside the carriage to deflect the arrows. Fulin¡¯s little face turned pale with fright, and her little hands nervously grasped the small pillars on the carriage. Lin Sha on the side, although she was also frightened and looked ugly, was obviously much calmer, with anger in her eyes. Both of them looked outside nervously, but their eyes blurred. The figure outside had disappeared, and the stirred dead leaves on the ground were scattered in all directions. When they stretched their heads, they saw Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi had already joined the ambush. The leader handed over. The leading ambusher was not weak in martial arts, but he was still a bit behind the boss. He saw the dead leaves rising from the ground and rushing towards the opponent. When the dead leaves seemed to suddenly lose the power of flying, they scattered and fell to the ground, revealing the ambush. The figure stood motionless, holding his sword high, with a horrified look in his eyes. His arms were stiff, as if he could no longer chop down his sword. "Tick" Blood fell on the ground bit by bit, shattering the moment of silence. He fell to the snow. A gust of cold wind passed by, and the torn clothes on the ambusher's chest were blown open, revealing criss-crossing wounds. , with an expression of disbelief on his face. Not only him, Lin Sha's guard leader Xilizhu and other guards were also very surprised. They all knew that the martial arts instructor hired by the young lady must be good at martial arts, but in their hearts, they felt that he was just playing tricks with the young lady. They were not as good as those who crawled out from the dead, and they looked down upon him at all. But this time, they were shocked, especially Lin Sha's guard leader Xilizhu. Although even without Yuan Qi, these ambushers would definitely not succeed. The real strength of these guards is rarely known to the outside world, but without Yuan Qi to block the arrows, and without Yuan Qi to kill the archers first, what would have happened It's definitely not that easy, and although he can defeat this ambush leader, it will never be that easy. The new gentleman¡¯s palm strikes were so fast and so powerful that he could not match them. Of course, the two frightened little girls in the carriage were also very surprised, especially Fu Lin, who looked at the figure outside with admiration. She wanted to share this mood with the young lady, but after taking a look at the young lady, she saw Seeing the cold look in the lady's eyes, she gave up the plan. Fulin knew that the young lady only had superficial respect for the new gentleman. This was obviously because the young lady had suffered a loss from the new gentleman. His behavior today further illustrates this point. Before the young lady did not change her attitude toward him, it would be best to Don't say this in front of her, otherwise the lady will scold her again. It's better to go back and share such things with Jenny. As the lady's maid, Jenny must be very interested in this But in fact, Yuan Yuan at this time Qi was not as the adoring little girl in the car imagined, but his stomach was churning. He had been beaten and killed a lot after practicing martial arts, and this was the first time he had actually killed someone. Looking at the guards He mercilessly cut the knife on the fallen ambusher, and the feeling of vomiting surged out. He used his internal strength to suppress it, and then asked the two little girls inside. Yuan Qi didn¡¯t know what the little girl in the carriage was thinking, but at this moment he felt that Lin Sha was actually quite pitiful. Such an ambush was obviously aimed at her. A prominent wealthy family would inevitably have political opponents, enemies, strife, conspiracies, etc. She also had to bear these things while enjoying the glory of her family The Duke's Palace after the ambush. The Duke's Palace seemed calm to outsiders, but in fact it wasIt is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent after encountering such an attack. In the duchess's study, Yuan Qi and the palace's chief of guards, Te Lin, and Lin Sha's head of guard, Xilizhu, were sitting there. The captured man had bitten his tongue and committed suicide while Trin and Xilizhu were interrogating him. Xifei Bay is a calm harbor, but there are countless undercurrents surging under the calm surface of Xifei Country in Xifei Bay. This ambush made Yuan Qi feel the turbulence of Xifei. Yuan Qi watched Looking at the Duchess opposite, how this woman who was actually in charge of the affairs of the Duke's Palace would respond, Yuan Qi glanced at her. After learning that the living person was dead, the Duchess didn't seem to care at all. After hearing about the attack, After that, he just elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After thanking him, he began to discuss the security arrangements in the mansion. Yuan Qi was also asked by the Duchess to participate. His residence was also moved from the original place to the building of the Duchess and Lin Sha. He also accompanied Lin Sha when she went out. Yuan Qi naturally had no objection, so that he would have a better chance to communicate with her. The Duchess was contacted. Yuan Qi looked at the Duchess leaning back on the chair calmly and casually, but no matter what posture she was in, her manners and appearance were always so elegant and impeccable. Yuan Qi did not dare to stay longer on the Duchess's face. This woman's charm was too great. He had just had some opportunities. Offending her would be more than worth the loss. He quickly adjusted himself and calmed down. She was thinking that such an attitude meant that she might have a way to deal with it. But Yuan Qi didn¡¯t know that after he left, the Duchess changed her calm look and looked a little tired. For a big family with great power, the king's suspicion, the royal family, and the power disputes among powerful ministers will inevitably spread to the Duke's Palace. These things are not easy. She can only do it alone and bear the pressure silently. She cannot She cannot rely on her husband, nor can she rely on anyone else. She relies on herself. Although these are difficult, she can still cope with them, but the disputes within the family make it even more difficult for her, and this is partly due to her own reasons, because she has never given birth. Since there are no children, the heir to the Duke's Palace will be left hanging in the future. It may be Lin Sha, or he may adopt an adopted son to inherit. Although the Duke spends most of the year at sea, he also works hard on other noble ladies during his time in Heaphy. In fact, the so-called adoption of an adopted son is nothing more than publicly turning the Duke's illegitimate son into the legal heir. This may also be the Duke's intention. The Duke's thoughts Actually there is another one. The Duchess shook her head. Although the Duke had never disclosed these two thoughts to her, she had still seen some clues over the years. The reason why the Duke is keen on conquering the ocean is, firstly, to reduce the king's suspicion when he is away all year round. Secondly, the Duke's heart may not be so peaceful. The Lindu family's contribution is already great enough, and the Duke's status has reached its limit. , and the Duke is still happy with it, probably to establish his prestige among the people. And she could keenly feel that the Duke had such thoughts because she accidentally discovered that there were some contacts between the Duke and Japan. This was not an ordinary relationship, but a relationship with a high-ranking official in the Japanese court. This was a very special event. Danger signal. There is no doubt that Xifei occupies an important position between Huaxing and Japan. Japan has always been ambitious to defeat Huaxing in order to occupy the prosperous land of Huaxing, but it has always been wary. After all, Huaxing is the largest country in the mainland. But if Xifei can form an alliance with Japan, Japan will not have any disadvantages. Although Xifei does not have decent land power, its powerful navy can provide Japan with landing needs, so the result will be difficult to say. And if the Duke is willing to do this, the main purpose is to replace the royal family that has always been on good terms with Huaxing and become the new supreme ruler of Xifei with the support of Japan. This is simply playing with fire. It is hard to say whether Huaxing can be defeated. If Huaxing is defeated, Japan will become a behemoth. If the Duke wants to be king, I am afraid he can only be a short-lived king. And Japan has been defeated. Huaxing He will also not let him go, and Heaphy is destined to become a conquered country by then. But obviously, the Duke has been blinded by Quan Yu and has no intention of looking back. Who would know that the Duke showed deep love for his wife and his sister in front of outsiders? The extra care is just a means to paralyze the king. When the time comes, they will be the ones he abandons. It's just that those stupid ladies who have the Duke's children don't understand the Duke's "painstaking efforts" at all, and they can't help it.?I couldn¡¯t wait to jump out. "Don't think about the Duke's most secretive things for the time being. There is still time to think about it slowly. It is better to solve the immediate problem first. Since someone dares to attack the Duke's Mansion, he will have to pay the corresponding price!" The Duchess rubbed her head gracefully, then stood up and walked into the bathroom The Duchess gently untied her dress with her beautiful hands, and her hands followed the exaggerated undulating curves of her waist. The skirt that was covering her buttocks fell off a little. The graceful plumpness with the elasticity and smoothness that can be felt by the fingers. Looking at the dimples and proud breasts that are as beautiful as a fairy in the mirror, an expression of self-pity and self-pity can't help but show up on her face, her jade hands are gentle. The ground moved all the way down her jade neck, breasts, and lower abdomen, as if with magic. Wherever her jade hands passed, her delicate body became crimson, but when her hands stayed under her lower abdomen, His body seemed to become cold all of a sudden, and he looked there blankly. There was a mark like a small key. When the Duke saw this mark on the wedding night, he did not rush forward excitedly, but turned around as if he had seen a ghost. room. Since then, the two have never slept together, but kept looking for other women outside. Later she learned that this small key-like imprint was the semen-sucking woman of Xifei. When having sex with such a woman, a man would be drained of his semen and blood by the woman and turn into a withered corpse and die. This is why Xifei was so big The origin of the custom of keeping the bedroom lit with bright lights on the wedding night. The Duchess looked there and couldn't help sighing: She didn't want to be a noble goddess in the eyes of Xifei men, but wanted to be a woman who could be favored by men, preferably with a child (To be continued . )
