At the critical moment, a hoarse roar came from the gate of the palace: "Who dares to act wild in the palace of Zhuocheng?" When he said the first word, he was still at the door of the palace, and when he said Zhuocheng, he had already blocked the way.
In front of Prince Chun, his body movements were as fast as Duanmu's sinking of a boat.?
After saying the word "wild", the long sword in his hand collided head-on with the daluo sword, blocking Duanmu Shenzhou's fatal blow.
Duanmu Shenzhou laughed wildly and said: "Nine lives Xiao Baisheng, what an eight-star guard, haha, it is indeed a worthwhile trip." As he laughed wildly, Duanmu Shenzhou cast the light of the Daluo sword from a distance, and the palace
A tiger guard was called by a general and gave chase.
Only then did he see clearly that the person in front of Prince Chun was over fifty years old, with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, a short beard, and a high-spirited look. He must have been a first-class figure in his youth.
The visitor's face was full of astonishment and he said: "Old monster Duanmu of the Great Luo Sword, who sent this assassin to do such a big thing? Your Majesty, Master Jiekong, are you okay?"
Prince Chun regained his breath and looked a little frightened. Then he calmed down, looked at the visitor and bowed his hands and said: "Master Xiao, thank you for saving your life. The king of the foreign country will definitely repay you generously.
Master Jie Kong was seriously injured trying to save me, who is this assassin, so amazing!?"
The person who came was one of the palace guards, who had nine lives, Xiao Bai died.
The Dagan Dynasty is deeply rooted and there are many masters in the palace. Emperor Wanlong Li Chengde was also a master in his early years.
In this land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, the most famous master is the Eight Star Guards, also called the Eight Stars and One Guard. There are nine guards in total, some from the martial arts world and some from official families. If they are selected by the emperor, they can inherit the eight stars.
The title of Yiwei is extremely powerful in the palace. The leader of Yiwei in this generation is Nine Lives Xiao Baisheng.
Xiao Baisheng hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Your Majesty, I am late for your appointment. I dare not say thank you and ask your Majesty to convict you."
Prince Chun waved his hand and remained speechless. Xiao Baisheng continued: "The official received the prince's order and should have come immediately. However, there were some trivial matters in the palace. I was delayed for a while and almost missed the prince's important event."
Prince Chun's eyelids twitched, he took a long breath, and said harmoniously: "Master Xiao, you are serious, you are one of the Nine Guards, and the safety of the Holy One is greater than that of others. It is also rude for me to invite you.
I guessed that someone might come into the house tonight to assassinate you, and I had already set up an ambush. I invited Mr. Xiao to come just to be safe.
How could we expect that such a top-notch master would appear among the assassins tonight? Even the Tiger Guard Camp, Feng Wu Camp, and Master Jiekong didn't stop him. It's a pity that the success failed."
Xiao Baisheng didn't know what Prince Chun was planning. Hearing the words, he continued in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, the assassin is Duanmu Sinzhou with the big sword. There are only ten fingers who can rival him in the world. If you want to defeat him surely,
Nowadays, no one in the world dares to make such wild claims. The Thirteen-Style Daluo Sword is very domineering, but he rarely leaves Kuji Ridge. I don’t know who invited him out this time."
Prince Chun showed his murderous intention, suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Duanmu sinks the boat, which ruins my king's important event!"
Except for the assassins who broke through, none of the assassins who were still able to move in the square surrendered. The Imperial Guards and Tiger Guards who followed Xiao Bai's death killed all the assassins who resisted.
The surviving Tiger Guards and Imperial Guards began to rescue the injured soldiers, and the surviving assassins were also carried away and kept under strict supervision.
Several Tiger Guards stepped forward and were about to help Master Jie Kong away, but Xiao Baisheng stopped him and said: "Don't touch Master Jie Kong, Master is working on his own. If you move rashly, something will go wrong."
Forget it, I'll lend a helping hand to Master, and you go elsewhere." After saying that, he sat cross-legged behind Monk Jiekong, held the door on his back, and slowly sent out his internal energy to Monk Jiekong.
Jie Kong opened his eyes slightly, nodded and thanked him, then closed his eyes and stepped up his performance. The remaining soldiers of Fengwu Camp surrounded Prince Chun as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and were on alert everywhere, fearing that the old monster Duanmu would come out again.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the southeast corner. Li Chengye turned around and saw several palace guards surrounding a woman in white.
Prince Chun frowned slightly. He had seen this woman just before Duanmu Shenzhou retreated. He was looking for something on the field and was not afraid of the light of swords. However, the situation was critical and he didn't have time to think too much. At this time, the assassins had been eliminated, which aroused Prince Chun's attention.
Notice.
Prince Chun glanced at Monk Jiekong and Xiao Baisheng who were performing the exercises, and said calmly: "Leave half of the people to protect Master Xiao and Master Jiekong, and the rest and I will go over there to have a look." After that, he walked to the southeast of the square.
In the past, Feng Wuying separated into two places and followed Prince Chun.
Prince Chun came closer, but the woman in white didn't notice it. She stood up pretty, her face was surprisingly pale, there were blood stains on her hands from rummaging, and there were a lot of blood stains on her clothes, but she could not hide her pure and smooth appearance.
, it is Suxue.
Su Xue followed Li Luo out of Qingxin Tower when he was thrown away by Li Luo. In desperation, she had to search the front yard. When she saw the sea of swords and fire and the corpses everywhere, she couldn't hold back and vomited out. Her legs were weak.
Just want to leave.
But when he thought of Li Luo, he gritted his teeth and stood still. He even asked several tiger guards but they all said they hadn't seen him. What's more, they even pushed him away. Su Xue had no choice but to search for him in the square, and saw a short man.
They dug out the body and took a look, fearing it was Li Luo.
Su Xue walked, vomited and searched, almost getting stabbed by stray arrows, and was almost mistaken for an assassin by the Tiger Guards several times.
However, a frail woman walking back and forth in the killing field really attracted attention. Several assassins and tiger guards looked at Su Xue when they passed by. Su Xue acted as if there was no one around, and miraculously she was not injured.
"Who are you?" Su Xue was at a loss when suddenly a majestic voice came from the side.
Su Xue looked back and was slightly startled. She quickly knelt down and whispered, "Your Majesty."
Li Chengye ignored it and said to the Tiger Guards beside Su Xue: "You go down and clean up the battlefield."
"Yes." Several tiger guards bowed and retreated.
Li Chengye looked at Su Xue carefully and felt that he looked familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen him before. He frowned and said, "What are you doing here, a woman from the inner palace?"
"My servant Su Xue is the maid in Qingxin Tower."
Prince Chun was startled and asked in astonishment: "Qingxin Tower? Then why did you come to the front yard?"
Su Xue quickly replied: "Reporting to the prince, the young prince heard that there was an assassin in the front yard and came over with a sword. The slave did not hold him back for a while and followed him to look for him."
"What!?" Prince Chun was shocked and said sternly, "Hu Guard, go and have a look, you guys should go too." Prince Chun said to the Fengwu Camp soldiers beside him, then turned to Su Xue and roared, "
Why didn't you stop the young prince? If something happened, I, Wang Wei, would ask you."
"This..." All the guards looked confused, and suddenly they heard someone next to them say: "Go ahead, the prince has me here." But it was Xiao Baisheng who came over, saluted Prince Chun and said, "Master Jiekong has nothing to do with you.
It’s bothering you, just adjust your breath for a while, go back and cultivate for a few months and you’ll be fine.”
When the guards of Fengwu Camp saw Xiao Baisei, they felt relieved and hurriedly started searching.
Seeing Prince Chun's brows furrowed and confused, Xiao Baisheng comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The young Prince has always been very courageous, well-founded in martial arts, and extremely intelligent. The lower officials have heard about it, so he won't come here rashly."
.”
Prince Chun thought of Li Luo on weekdays and felt relieved a little, and said slowly: "Care will lead to chaos. This child is too much for me to worry about." Seeing Su Xue still kneeling on the ground, his voice became gentle and said, "Get up, he is leaving.
, you can’t hold it back.”
"Yes." Su Xue stood up, slightly choked with sobs. When Prince Chun saw it, he was already crying. He looked at Xiao Baisheng and smiled bitterly, saying: "It's so dangerous here. If you can ignore your safety, it means you have good intentions. Don't
Cry and go find the young prince."
Xiao Baishi smiled meaningfully at Su Xue, who was still in shock, and said, "The little girl is frightened." Prince Chun gave Xiao Baishi a strange look and was speechless.
After a cup of tea, the guard came to report that Li Luo was seen in the Changchun Courtyard near Juyong Pavilion in the east courtyard and that he was alive and well.
Prince Chun finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart. Su Xue's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. After calming down, he followed Prince Chun to Changchun Courtyard to find Li Luo.
Li Luo was unaware of the fierce battle in the front yard that night, but that day the assassin was able to tell the eight moves to break the blood. This move was only passed down in the military. Although it was not a special skill, it was not something ordinary people could see. In addition, after the incident,
I learned something from the guards in the mansion that the assassin entering the mansion would probably have something to do with the imperial army's use of troops. It's a pity that Prince Chun's plan was cut to pieces by Duanmu Shenzhou's Da Luo knife.
Everyone in the palace was busy, and the bloodstains had been wiped away. If it weren't for the black marks on the room, the fight would have seemed like a dream. What was a good Mid-Autumn Festival night turned into a picture of murder on a moonlit night.
No matter what, the assassin succeeded. Several dignitaries were all killed by Duanmu Shenzhou overnight. Prince Chun was very angry about this and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The assassin's timing and terrain were so accurate, there must be someone inside the palace. In addition to Luo'er, the Tiger Guard found out that it was a steward in the front yard who leaked the information.
But this manager did not do it for money or profit. No matter how hard the Tiger Guard tried to force him, he refused to speak. In the end, he could not survive the torture in the palace and found an opportunity to commit suicide in prison. The other assassins were poisoned to death at the same time on the same day. It was time to take action.
I've already taken poison.
It is not known whether these assassins knew that they had been poisoned by others before the assassination, but the clues were all broken. Prince Chun was shocked and angry, and punished several jailers. He was furious about this, and it is said that even the emperor was alarmed.
There were often imperial guards coming in and out of Prince Chun's palace, and there was a lot of noise in the palace, and everyone was in danger.
