Aunt Wang clapped her hands and smiled and said: "This is good, this is really good! I originally paid a lot of money to invite Master An from Xifang to paint the door for me after the Lantern Festival. I wanted to draw a picture of singing and playing music. This painting, But Master Bi An is good at painting!" Of course, as the prince of the dynasty, he has been adhering to the famous teachers since childhood, and he is good at poetry, singing, qin, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting.

Li Chengyin was also very proud, he scrutinized with both hands for a moment, then picked up the Luozidai, and inscribed three big characters next to the painting: "Splashing Ink Gate". The three big characters are written like dragons and phoenixes. Although I don't understand calligraphy, I also feel that the momentum is extraordinary. Li Chengyin also felt that he was still unfinished, and wrote a line of small characters at the bottom: "Shangjing Li Wulang", and just threw Luo Zidai, saying: "Draw water! Clean hands!" Aunt Wang smiled and drew water herself to let him wash his hands. I also feel very proud of my life. Although my father was very reluctant to marry me to Zhongyuan, my husband-in-law is actually quite talented except for the fact that he almost rode a horse and almost fought.

After we washed our hands, Aunt Wang asked someone to cook some dim sum for us. Suddenly she became suspicious and looked at Li Chengyin incessantly. I was afraid that she would see something, and was about to utter other words when I suddenly heard a "whoosh" from the back of the courtyard, and a firework shot up into the air. The firework is not the same as the fireworks next to it. It not only rises extremely high, but also rises straight up, pulling out a very high silver-white arc in the black sky, with a sharp whistle, which is extremely attractive. Attention. It was not until it reached a very high place that a muffled sound of "bang" was heard, and the fireworks burst into a huge golden firework. The vertical and horizontal light feathers split the black velvet-like night, and the interlaced blooms drew dazzling arcs. , blasted out fine gold powder, which lingered for a long time, and half of the sky was reflected faintly blue.

Li Cheng Yin's expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran to the backstairs. I didn't have time to ask him, so I had to follow him and run back. He walked so fast that I couldn't keep up. When I got to the covered bridge, I realized that something was wrong. The yard was terribly silent. Under the covered bridge lay a man in black. A creepy little snake. Why are there dead people here? I didn't have time to think about it, so I shouted in a loud voice, "A'Du!" A'Du didn't answer me, I called three times in a row. Normally, I only need to call A'Du once and she will appear. Could it be that something happened to A'Du? My heart was beating wildly and chaotically. Li Chengyin had already kicked the door open. We only left the house for two cups of tea. Originally the room was full of fragrant fragrance, but now the blood is blowing, and the ground is lying on the ground. The bodies were all strong men in black. Li Cheng Yin eagerly turned around the screen, and the curtain was torn apart. It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here. The high table on the couch was overturned to the ground, there were several sword marks on the pillars next to it, and blood splattered everywhere, and more people died here. There was a man in black reclining on the pillar, still panting slightly, Li Cheng Yin rushed over to help him up, his face was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, and his shoulders showed white collarbones, which were actually even arms. It was a miracle that he was able to live with his shoulders chopped off. Li Chengyin said sharply, "Where's Your Majesty?" That man didn't even have his right arm. He grabbed Li Chengyin's chest with his left hand, and held it tightly. He was panting, his voice hoarse:" Your Majesty... Your Majesty... ""Who hurt someone? Where is Your Majesty?"" Masked... Assassin masked... Assassin's martial arts are amazing... The minister is incompetent... "He seemed to use all his strength to point at the open window, his eyes gradually slackening, "... Save Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Li Cheng Yin wanted to ask him something, but his fingers gradually loosened, and finally fell into a pool of blood, motionless.

Li Chengyin raised his eyes to look at me. I saw that his eyes were all bloodshot, his body was covered with blood, and there were dead people everywhere. I also felt very scared. We only left for a short while. The assassins killed so many people in such a short period of time, and these people are all good players in the forbidden army. His Majesty's white dragon fish suit must be accompanied by all good guards. Now that these people have all been killed, I can't imagine how high this assassin's martial arts are. But Li Cheng Yin picked up a saber, straightened up, and chased out the back window.

I shouted loudly: "A'Du!" A'Du doesn't know where to go. I remembered what happened last time and was very worried about A'Du's safety. I was worried about Li Chengyin again, the assassin's martial arts was so high, it would be an easy task to kill me and Li Chengyin. I picked up a sword in a pool of blood, and then pulled out the back window, killing if I wanted to, so I took my life.

In the back is a small yard with mountains and rocks in the middle. Those stones were transported from the far south to support flowers and trees in the yard. Now the weather is cold and the trees are still bare. Turning around the rock, Li Cheng Yin suddenly stopped and pushed me behind him with his backhand. Abutting on the uneven rock, I stared blankly at the back of his head, and suddenly remembered that the last time I met an assassin, he pushed me away in the same way. I stood on tiptoe and looked over his shoulder, and saw several men in black fighting around a masked man. The man in black at the head was extremely skilled in martial arts, but he was obviously not an assassin's opponent. They are all top experts in the Imperial Army. Although they are all wounded, they are very tenacious. The assassin held a sword in one hand and a man in the other, and that man was His Majesty. Although the assassin held His Majesty's wrist with one hand and held the sword with one hand, his swordsmanship was still unparalleled, and every sword would leave a wound on the man in black. Only by the moonlight did I see blood splattered on the rocks. At this moment, there was a faint thunder-like boom in the distance. The assassin suddenly slammed his sword into His Majesty's neck, and everyone dared not make any more moves, so they could only watch him helplessly.

Li Cheng Yin said, "Let him go!" His voice was caught in the thunder, not very loud, but every word was very clear.

I don't know if it was thunder, but the dull sound in the distance was like a spring thunder, dull and loud. I have never been so afraid as I am today, not because of the dead people in the room just now, nor because of this ghostly assassin, but because I don't know what I'm afraid of.

The thunder in the distance was getting louder and louder, and after a while, I could hear that it was not thunder, but the sound of horses' hooves. The small Mingyufang swept in, like floods on all sides, one wave higher than another, one wave after another, rushing towards here. I have never heard such a dense hoof sound. Even if Chen Bing was fighting on our grassland, and Dad had mobilized people to charge, the momentum was not so huge. At first, I could vaguely hear the exclamations of the people in Mingyufang, as well as the noise of the front building. In the end, I felt that even the surrounding houses were shaking slightly. The sound can't be heard, only the sound of hoofs is like the most terrible tide, coming endlessly, coming, like the most terrible hurricane in the desert, sweeping the sky with sand and dust, everything between heaven and earth Nothing escaped, and was drowned out by this terrifying sound.

The assassin did not speak, but Hengjian forced His Majesty to step back.

No one dared to act rashly, but His Majesty suddenly shouted: "Zeng Xian! Kill the assassin!" , is said to have defeated a hundred people. Zeng Mo's shoulder was also dripping blood, and he was pressing step by step at this time, the assassin's sword was gleaming with cold light, extremely cold, and it was placed in His Majesty's throat. Li Cheng Yin suddenly smiled softly and said to the assassin, "Do you know who I am?" The assassin's face was covered with a cloth towel, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. There was no expression in his eyes, he just stared coldly. With Li Chengyin. "Now that the Shenwu Army has come to help, the outside must have been surrounded by iron barrels. If you resist stubbornly, you will inevitably end up with thousands of arrows piercing your heart. If you put down your sword at this time, I will allow you not to die." Li Chengyin said again: "If you are not at ease, you will take me as a hostage. After you are safe, you can let me back." My palms were sweating, and even the sword in my hand felt a little slippery. . I was heartbroken and stood up from behind him: "If you want to be held, let me be a hostage, anyway, I am a weak woman, you are not afraid of me playing tricks.

My palms were sweating, and even the sword in my hand felt a little slippery. I was heartbroken and stood up from behind him: "If you want to be held, let me be a hostage, anyway, I am a weak woman, you are not afraid of me playing tricks.

When you feel safe, just let me back. "

Li Cheng Yin gave me a stern look, and I glared back unceremoniously. I understand what he means, and I also know that this is not a game, but at the moment, I can't do it if I watch the assassin take him as a hostage.

The assassin still didn't answer, but stood coldly holding the sword, Zeng Xian and others did not dare to push too hard, the two sides were deadlocked.

Li Cheng Yin stood there and didn't move, but the loud voice outside seemed to have suddenly quieted down. After a long time, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and someone was walking over. I was sweating all over my vest, wondering if it was an Assassin's accomplice. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Li Cheng Yin suddenly reached out to hold my hand. His palm was hot, but I was strangely calm. Maybe it's just because I know he's by my side, so how dangerous is it? To die is to die! I was suddenly proud. But a lot of people rushed in, and the leader was wearing silver armor. Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but immediately knelt down and salutes very calmly. The armor on his body was sonorous, and he said: "Chen Yin Wei is late for the rescue, please forgive me."

"Get up." Although His Majesty had an assassin's sword on his neck, his voice was very calm, "Send martial law throughout the city and close nine doors."

"Yes!"

"The Shenwu Army will join forces with the Yulin Army in the East Palace to close the city and investigate the Assassins!"

"Yes!"

"Don't leak the news, so as not to disturb the people."

"Yes!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Yin Wei didn't even pay attention to the salute, and immediately left. I heard him murmur a few words in the corridor, and then the rapid footsteps came from near to far, and several people ran out. After a while, he came in again and said, "Please return to the East Palace to settle your heart, your highness will be dealt with and cleaned up here."

Li Cheng Yin shook his head and looked at the assassin with bright eyes: "Let go of your father, I will take you as a hostage." His hand was holding mine, and I shouted: "No! I am a hostage! "

Li Cheng Yin turned his head and glared at me fiercely: "Shut up!"
