Half an hour later, Murong Fu left Yuelu Academy alone. Huang Shang finally did not agree to enter the palace with him, but gave him a map, which marked several places where Lin Chaoying might be hiding people, including two.
The first place is the Imperial City Palace and the Zhaotai Palace, and the other two places are the Imperial Garden and the Chui Gong Hall. Both of these places have Lin Chaoying's temporary hiding place.
The three major priests have a transcendent status, and they often secretly handle some shady matters for the emperor. However, no matter what, there must be one priest who personally protects the emperor, so the three of them will have places for them to hide everywhere in the palace.
Murong Fu knew Huang Shang's difficulties. Now that he had the map, he didn't embarrass him anymore. Of course, this map was not a complete map of the palace. At least a lot of confidential information was not revealed. Otherwise, he really couldn't guarantee whether it would be possible.
Do something big.
Murong Fu looked at the map carefully and wrote down several routes. After thinking about it for a while, he headed towards the imperial city. But at this moment, a voice came from behind, "Murong Fu!"
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then looked back and saw that the person coming was Huang Ying.
"You... why don't you take a good rest?" Murong Fu asked doubtfully.
Huang Ying came to stand in front of him, with her hands behind her back and her pointed chin raised slightly, "I'll go with you."
"What?" Murong Fu thought he heard wrongly, "Say it again?"
"I'm going with you." Huang Yingqiao blushed and said coquettishly.
Murong Fu couldn't help but look her up and down, his face was rosy, his energy was many times better than when he got sick before, and his aura was not weak either.
In fact, whether it is Jiuyin Juemai or Liuyin Juemai, they are no different from ordinary people before and after the onset of the disease. They come and go quickly. This is one of the reasons why Juemai is rarely spread in the world. Many people unfortunately suffer from it.
People with broken pulses may freeze to death in the first three times they get sick. Before that, no one knows what kind of disease they are suffering from.
Murong Fu looked at her for a while and frowned slightly. He didn't know whether this woman followed her on her own initiative or on Old Man Huang Shang's wish. If it was Old Man Huang Shang's wish, then she had an ulterior motive.
Huang Ying also said that he cared about his body, and felt a little warm in his heart, and said softly, "Don't worry, the cold poison just happened, and it won't happen again in a short time. I am no different from a normal person now."
"
Murong Fu rolled his eyes, "Do you know where I'm going?"
"What's the problem?" Huang Ying smiled mysteriously, "You want to go to the palace to find someone, right?"
Then she added, "Grandpa told me everything."
Murong Fu's face suddenly darkened, "Did your grandfather ask you to come?"
Seeing the change in his expression, Huang Ying couldn't help but stick out her tongue, "No, I ran out secretly. Oh, why are you such a mother-in-law? I am the most familiar with the palace. Taking me will only bring you benefits and no disadvantages."
Murong Fu became more and more sure of his guess and looked at her deeply, "That's fine, but I have agreed beforehand that if you spoil my affairs, I will not be polite to you."
He understood that the old man Huang Shang must have deliberately leaked his whereabouts to Huang Ying so that she could follow him and prevent him from doing something detrimental to the royal family. Murong Fu didn't care about this. If he really wanted to
Huang Ying can't stop her from doing anything, and she also has a guide for nothing, so she is naturally happy to see it succeed.
"I know." Huang Ying gave him a big eye roll and curled her lips.
After a while, the two came to the vicinity of the imperial city. Murong Fu was planning how to sneak into the palace, but there was a fierce sound of gold and iron. Looking around, he saw a chaos in front of the gate of the imperial city, dozens of people.
A guard is besieging several men in red.
Murong Fu raised his eyebrows. Could it be that someone entered the palace to assassinate him? This is a good opportunity.
Huang Ying beside her was stunned for a moment when she saw this situation. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "It seems something happened."
Murong Fu originally wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the imperial city, but when he approached the palace gate, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and stopped. He pulled Huang Ying and hid in the shadows to watch what was going on.
But I saw those men in red resisting the soldiers on the outside while killing a sedan in the middle. There was a circle of servants holding swords around the sedan. These people looked calm and did not panic at all. They were obviously all
Experts who have undergone rigorous training.
Murong Fu stopped because he recognized the men in red as the killers of the Blood Shadow Palace, and they were also silver medal killers.
The Blood Shadow Palace consists of three parts. One part is the peripheral members. Some of these people are people under other organizations of the Murong family, and some are martial arts masters recruited from the martial arts world. They only have a name in the Blood Shadow Palace and occasionally perform some assassination missions.
Earn some extra money and have no affiliation with Blood Shadow Palace.
One part is the logistics department, which can be regarded as formal members. These people have almost no martial arts skills and are only responsible for receiving assassination missions and subsequent handovers, intelligence gathering and gathering, lurking and other trivial matters. Finally, they are the real core members of the Blood Shadow Palace, divided according to their strength.
There are three levels: Bronze Killer, Silver Medal Killer, and Gold Medal Killer.
Although silver medal killers are only ranked in the second level, gold medal killers are actually very rare. There are only the palace master Li Mochou, the four major sword wielders and a few others. Even Hong Lingbo can barely be considered a bronze medal killer in the palace, so the silver medal killer is
The killers work very lightly in the Blood Shadow Palace, and they will no longer take on tasks when they have free time, unless there is a huge benefit, or there is a direct order from the palace master.
Because of this, Murong Fu was so surprised. Could it be that the Blood Shadow Palace has received some big business recently?
"Hey, that seems to be Master Murong's sedan. It's strange, who actually wants to assassinate Master Murong?" Huang Ying looked at it for a while, seemed to recognize the person in the sedan, and couldn't help but murmured in surprise.
"Master Murong?" Murong Fu was startled when he heard this, "Which Master Murong?"
"Of course it's Mr. Murong, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice." Huang Ying answered smoothly, and suddenly remembered that there was a person named Murong next to her. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "I forgot, your surname is Murong too, maybe you are
Master Murong is a distant relative."
Her words were originally meant as a joke, but the speaker did not mean it, and the listener meant it. Murong Fu closed his mouth with a guilty conscience.
In fact, the descendants of the two Murong clans have known about each other's existence for many years, but no one wants to recognize each other, and there is even a slight hostility. Back then, the huge Murong family fell apart, and Murong Longcheng died with hatred, mainly because
Murong Yanzhao led his troops to defect to Zhao Kuangyin at a critical moment, so it was naturally impossible for their descendants to live in peace.
In fact, the descendants of Murong Longcheng's branch had previously wanted to eradicate the other branch to avenge their ancestors. However, times have changed and Murong Longcheng's branch has gradually declined over the years. The population is not prosperous, and now only Murong Fu is left.
If there is only one seedling, the matter of revenge will fade away.
"Look, those killers are so powerful. If this continues, Master Murong will be in danger." Huang Ying suddenly exclaimed and said with a hint of worry.
Just when Murong Fu was distracted for a moment, several killers in red had almost cleared away the guards, and they were getting closer and closer to the sedan in the middle. If the expert guards dressed as servants could not resist it, the people in the sedan would surely die.
undoubtedly.
Although it is at the entrance of the palace, the nearest guard room is two miles away. It will take at least a quarter of an hour for a large number of guards to arrive. Such a long time is enough for the silver medal killer.
Murong Fu watched everything with great interest. He had no intention of rescuing him at all, but he was a little curious about who paid for Murong Chao's life. Moreover, if five silver medal killers were dispatched at once, the price would definitely not be cheap.
, at least five hundred thousand taels.
Huang Ying's mind was tense, and her little hands unconsciously grasped Murong Fu's palm tightly. She could hardly restrain herself from taking action.
"Uh uh uh..." A scream rang out, and the servants and guards around the sedan did not last long. They were quickly eliminated by five killers, and the five people slowly surrounded them.
Huang Ying suddenly had a long sword in her hand, and when she was about to take action, Murong Fu grabbed her backhand.
"What are you doing?" She looked at Murong Fu with confusion and anxiety, and asked in a low voice.
Murong Fu's eyes flashed slightly, "Don't make things more complicated. If you mess with these people, you will be in endless trouble."
"You..." Huang Ying was a little angry. She had always hated evil, especially Murong Chao, who had a very good reputation in the court. Even her grandfather said that this man was a good official. How could she watch him die?
I wanted to forcefully break away from Murong Fu's hand, but at this moment, there was a loud "chichichi" sound, and a burst of extremely strong energy suddenly burst out. I turned around and saw countless streams of light flying out of the sedan, and in an instant,
Five men in red drowned.
Huang Yingtan's mouth was half open, and she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear for a while. Even Murong Fu looked at the field with an incredulous expression.
When the light dissipated, three of the five figures were lying down, and two were stumbling away away.
With a "bang" sound, the sedan fell apart, revealing the person sitting inside. He was wearing a red robe and a Jinxian crown on his head. He was thin, with a pale face and a few sparse beards under his chin. He was clearly another member of the Murong clan.
Murong Chao, the contemporary head of the family.
The two surviving men in red looked back at him while escaping, their faces full of horror and confusion. They never imagined that Murong Chao, who was said to be incompetent according to the intelligence, could actually be a master, and his martial arts skills were amazing.
Gao was no less generous than the palace master.
Not only them, but Murong Fu and Huang Ying were also surprised. They didn't expect that this person had such superb martial arts.
Murong Chao smoothed his beard under his chin and stood up slowly, "Now that you are here, don't go back."
As he spoke, he reached forward with his hands, and immediately two extremely powerful energies shot towards the two killers respectively. The speed was as fast as thunder. In their current state, they could not even dodge.
Murong Fu sighed secretly in his heart and flicked his fingers twice in a vague manner. However, after hearing two soft and inaudible "puff" sounds, Murong Chao's two energies were dissolved into nothingness.
Murong Chao's expression changed slightly, he turned around and looked around, but found nothing.
With this moment of delay, the two killers from the Blood Shadow Palace disappeared into the night with a few ups and downs.
Murong Chao's expression changed for a while, then he finally shook his head and slowly left the place, turning a deaf ear to the corpses on the ground.
