Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 42 Waiting for the Rabbit
The rattlesnake tied a tight knot around the leg of the stool, but kept clinging on.
Xue Junyou's heart felt numb after seeing it. Anyway, this thing would have died long ago when someone comes to clean it tomorrow. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. He piled two heavy boxes on the stool and saw that the snake could not be moved before turning and leaving.
Quickly open the door of the imperial concubine's bedroom.
Suddenly, Xue Junyou's eyes reflected a sharp edge. Before he could see it clearly, he forcibly turned his body sideways, and then lowered his waist deeply.
That sixth sense of early warning saved his life again.
When he was careless, he saw a silver horse's spear sweeping across his throat.
No! This doesn't look like a horse. If you look closely, it looks like a spear.
A silver weapon that looks like a spear but not a spear!
Xue Junyou suddenly remembered what Mr. Shi Quan had said, so he took advantage of his opportunity to retreat to the stool that was holding the snake's head. He pressed his palms on the box above and tried hard to pull the snake away.
The nerves in the leader's head were instantly crushed to pieces, lest the other party would use this thing's mouth to kill him later.
"You are the assassin who killed one of the imperial concubines ten years ago."
Xue Junyou focused his eyes on the other party, as if he was looking at something carefully: "It seems that there is someone in the harem... who can come here to wait and see."
"Since you know you are a rabbit, give me the box and spare your life!" The other party's voice did not sound like a Gyeonggi native, although he was already trying his best to learn to speak with the accent here.
Since they are not from Gyeonggi, they are naturally from the other four states. Xue Junyou also took care of him in Nanzhou, so he is definitely not from Nanzhou.
But based on the clues we got, it's not hard to guess.
"Is there a black armor outside? Aren't you afraid that if I shout, you will be doomed?"
Xue Jun looked at the opponent with a worried smile, but he didn't feel confident in his heart, because it could be seen from the sweeping sweep just now that it was too much, and it was obvious that this guy was an expert, and he might not be able to beat him with empty hands.
"Don't you dare shout, because if you shout, your investigation will be in vain." The other party said coldly, like a poisonous snake that lives in the dark every day. It seems that the snake should be raised by him.
"You're right."
Xue Junyou nodded, but he still shouted out the window: "Here comes someone! Another person broke in and stole something!"
The other party was stunned, obviously not expecting it, so he bit his teeth and immediately stabbed towards Xue Junyou.
Xue Junyou hurriedly dodged a move, and the black armor who was guarding outside the palace broke in and started fighting with the assassin.
The assassin was indeed very strong. He even killed several black armored men with that dissimilar silver weapon.
Xue Junyou kicked up a black-handled sword with a golden dragon carving, and passed through the crowd like a swimming dragon, only hitting the man's throat.
There was a sonorous sound in the crisp wind chimes.
The tip of the sword was actually blocked by the barrel of the weapon. Xue Junyou was sure that this must be a magic weapon. If it were an ordinary piece of wood, it would have been pierced and opened by the force he exerted.
"Kuanfeng Yiyu!"
The man used his inner strength to shake Xue Junyou away, and temporarily confronted everyone, as if he had noticed something: "You are the disciple of Master Hongxiu."
"Hey! It seems my teacher didn't lie to me."
Xue Junyou turned the sword in his hand and stood it up behind him, "He is really famous in the world, so you are a member of the world. That would be difficult. We can only find out if you stay here."
Your identity."
"How dare a yellow-haired boy boast!"
The man seemed to be aware of the crisis, and his moves became even more fierce. Especially when facing Xue Junyou, he tried his best to kill him with every move.
Xue Junyou resisted with methodical moves. Although this person was ruthless, his moves were no match for him. The reason why he was so behind was because the opponent's weapons were too much better than his own.
At this moment, Xue Junyou actually thought about the weapon in his hand.
Although Zizi Nirvana is a spear technique, there are hundreds of moves that can be used on any of the eighteen weapons.
Even if the opponent has some martial arts skills and magical weapons, he can't stand up to the large number of people.
Xue Junyou saw that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to deal with him, so he began to switch from defense to offense, pressing each other tightly with swords and swords. The man parried hundreds of killing moves coming from all directions, and finally his position was messed up.
Xue Junyou seized that opportunity, concentrated all his strength on his left hand, and punched him hard on his left shoulder.
There was a sound of a dead branch splitting, and the man was beaten far away. His left shoulder sunk in in an instant, and his entire arm seemed to be disconnected from his body in an instant.
Xue Jun was worried and secretly happy that he should be able to catch both the weapon and the person now, so he jumped over with his sword and planned to destroy his knees first to prevent him from escaping.
Unexpectedly, when he was jumping into the air, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a flash of cold light.
Xue Junyou was shot straight on, and he fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
When the man saw that everyone was panicking because of the crossbow arrow, he vomited a mouthful of blood and took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Heijia chased after him, but Xue Junyou felt that he might not be able to catch him.
He slowly sat up and pulled out the crossbow arrow from his arm. It looked like the standard for the imperial capital's defense.
"Female..." Xue Junyou muttered to himself as he threw the crossbow arrow aside.
With the help of the sun, he had just caught a glimpse of the person shooting the arrow in his peripheral vision. It was vaguely seen that she was a woman. Since she was waiting in Ning'an Palace at this moment, it meant that the woman was still from this palace.
Or maybe it's a certain princess.
... ... ...
Gongzhong Tai Hospital.
Xue Junyou's wound was simply bandaged. This matter has not been spread yet, but it will be soon.
Xue Junyou was brought here by the Crown Prince. Fortunately, the Crown Prince left early. If he had been injured, Xue Junyou would have been guilty of a great crime.
"I asked the doctor, and he said there was no poison in the arrow."
Luo Junhe pushed the door open from outside and walked in. He stood in front of where Xue Junyou was doing, with something hidden in his eyes: "What on earth are you checking? It doesn't look like it's just a Fei Jue token."
"Why isn't it all about that token?"
A smile appeared on Xue Junyou's face: "Perhaps everyone is here for what the imperial concubine hides in Fei Jue."
"But the one you mentioned involves a lot."
Luo Junhe replied with a worried expression, and then took out a crossbow arrow wrapped in paper from his sleeve, "This is an arrow for the defense of the imperial capital. If this happens, the safety of the imperial capital will be affected."
Xue Junyou already knew where that arrow came from, but since the other party dared to use it, it meant that he was confident that he would not be able to find it.
"Your Highness, have you been outside since you left?" Xue Junyou suddenly asked.
The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, as if he had realized something, and asked: "Have you seen who the person who shot the arrow is?"
Xue Junyou nodded, but frowned, "It's not like I saw it, I just caught a glimpse of it from the corner of my eye."
"who is it?"
Luo Junhe asked quickly: "If my father discovers who is tightening the imperial capital's defense, he will never let him go leniently."
Is it because he is afraid of a mutiny? Xue Junyou knew clearly, but when it came to wooing the imperial capital's defense, he was even more confused about this matter.
Xue Junyou immediately expressed his deepest doubts and said: "I saw it was a woman. Which woman do you think the Crown Prince would win over the Imperial Guard?"
"That's absolutely impossible." Luo Junhe immediately replied: "Since the founding of our country, there has been no case of a woman in power. Although there are ministers who are close to the princess, when it comes to military affairs...
.never had."
"What if someone sets a precedent?"
"That's impossible. A princess in the previous dynasty was very ambitious because of her favor. She even wanted to participate in the government affairs. However, it still aroused the remonstrance of the ministers and even triggered a civil uprising. In the end, the late emperor had no choice but to execute the princess in the street.
, and all the courtiers who are friendly to the princess."
Xue Junyou fell silent after hearing this. In this way, Anyang was the only one who had the power and could make his ministers willing to sacrifice their lives to rely on him. But he knew Anyang's character very well, and it would definitely not be her.
After being silent for a long time, Xue Junyou suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Does His Highness know how many concubines there are in the harem, or whether there are other princesses entering the palace today?"
"There are many concubines in the harem. According to the convention, a beautiful girl will enter the palace every three years, and they will all stay in the palace as concubines. This is difficult to check."
"What about the princess? Are there any other princesses entering the palace today besides Anyang?"
"This is also difficult to check." Luo Junhe smiled, feeling that the Nine Prince Consort still didn't understand the royal etiquette: "According to the basic etiquette of the royal family, if there is no grounding or other mandatory decree from the father, every
All the princes and princesses will come to visit their biological mother every few days, and coincidentally, except for Nangong, all the princesses and princes have entered the palace today, and they have not left yet."
"I haven't left yet..." Xue Junyou was stunned.
"That's right." Luo Junhe nodded, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth as he spoke: "I was about to leave, but I heard that a certain prince-in-law caused trouble again, so he is probably staying in various palaces to enjoy himself."
Xue Junyou sighed softly, thinking that the royal family did nothing every day and were extremely idle. But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he raised his head and asked the crown prince: "Happy? What kind of fun do they want to watch?"
Ah."
"What do you think?"
At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. It was not heavy but not light either. However, Xue Junyou could tell that this person's kung fu was definitely not weak.
Because this was obviously an attempt to test his hearing. This kind of test was unsolvable, because the moment Xue Junyou heard it, he stopped talking to the crown prince.
This is instinct. Even if Xue Junyou wants to pretend, his brain will automatically give an early warning.
Soon, the door to the inner room of the Taiyuan Hospital where Xue Junyou was staying was pushed open again. He raised his head and looked up, and saw a man of indistinguishable age and a handsome demeanor.
This man was smiling slightly at him, but he was obviously smiling very gently, but Xue Junyou felt an unreasonable coldness on his back.
