squeak—
The heavy door was pushed open from the outside with unimaginable softness, and there are hidden pulleys under the door, so the door weighing hundreds of catties is not as heavy as imagined, showing the brilliance of the manufacturing process and the ingenuity of the designer.
The two court ladies were ordered to enter with two basins of clean water, and then the two eunuchs of the Master Attendant stepped forward, checked the two court ladies up and down, and tested the water temperature to check whether the water was poisonous. It made the two pots of hot water a little cold, and finally nodded and allowed the two maids to pass.
Huangfu Taiming shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "Eunuch An, Mr. Xue, you are really being cautious. Now I have to go through these tests every day when I wash my face and drink porridge. It's not warm, and the porridge is cold, which is really depressing."
An Zhongxin and Xue Gong laughed, they naturally knew that Huangfu Taiming was joking, and they were not angry. As for his personal safety, no amount of caution could be overstated.
The two of them didn't speak, Jiang Shuihan next to him buried his head in reviewing a volume of secret report, without raising his head, he said calmly: "Fourth brother is used to addressing me, so I have to learn how to do it next. And this is mainly for For the sake of your safety, the enemy's methods are impossible to guard against, if something happens to you, all our efforts will be in vain."
An Zhongxin and Xue Gongwang looked at each other and nodded together.
The two of them also had the same idea in their hearts, but their identities were different, but it was impossible for them to talk to Huangfu Taiming like Jiang Shuihan.
Although somewhat disrespectful, the two elders also know that the relationship between Huangfu Taiming's brothers is by no means normal and cannot be shaken by anyone, and the brothers are doing their best for Huangfu Taiming's throne, not to mention others, Just Jiang Shuihan in front of him and the strong strength of his subordinate Da Jiangmeng made the two veterans exclaim. Jiang Shuihan handed over half of the strength of his subordinates to the imperial court, which directly constituted two-thirds of the strength of the imperial court's inner guards, which is amazing.
Huangfu Taiming scratched his head, sighed, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the eighth brother has already explained it like this, if I am hypocritical, I will be annoying. Come on, come on, wash your face, and refresh yourself , we will make the final mission arrangement later.”
While speaking, Huangfu Taiming walked towards the two court ladies.
The two basins of clear water had already been placed on the stand, Huangfu Taiming walked over with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to wash his face.
But when it was less than ten feet away from the water basin, it choked—
There was a soft sound of drawing a knife out of its sheath, and a flash of light from the knife flashed from the beam, and then the room was completely cold.
Including Xue Gongwang, An Zhongxin, and Jiang Shuihan, they all exclaimed, but Huangfu Taiming's face suddenly became quiet, and he didn't look up at the knife light under the hood, but stared closely at the eyes, posing In the momentum of full defense, the original forward steps suddenly retreated backwards.
Xue Gongwang and An Zhongxin, the two masters of the palace, made moves at the same time, and they blocked Huangfu Taiming.
The two turned a blind eye to the light of the knife above their heads.
The light of the knife poured down, like a galaxy falling, vast and majestic, it seemed that nothing in the world could stop this knife from falling.
It's just that the things in the feeling are often wrong.
Suddenly a little water splashed in the water basin, a small drop flew forward, and came into contact with the light of the knife falling from the sky. Continue to fly forward, piercing through Huangfu Taiming's [Heaven and Earth Bahuang Jue]'s protective qi in an instant, Huangfu Taiming spat out a mouthful of blood, before the water droplets reached his body, he had already suffered internal injuries, seeing that the water droplets were about to penetrate his body, Xue Gongwang's figure Finally arrived, he swung his fist horizontally, the front of the fist hit the water drop, and An Zhongxin's figure flashed, immediately pulled Huangfu Taiming's body back more than ten zhang.
boom!
A muffled sound—
Xue Gong looked back and took two steps away, his face turned pale in an instant.
Swish!
The light of the knife fell from the sky, Sanada Ryuhiko's face was even uglier than that of Xue Gongwang, the treasured sword "Raikiri" in his hand trembled uncontrollably, his eyes stared unblinkingly at the basin of clear water not far in front of him, his eyes flashed with anger , chopped off with a knife in his hand, and the light of the knife split the copper basin in half, and splashed the clear water all over the sky to the rear.
Everyone's breathing stopped.
An extremely weird sneer—
The water droplets splashing all over the sky suddenly paused, and then quietly floated in the air, and then, under the incredible eyes of everyone, they merged together drop by drop, slowly condensing into a human figure.
The figure of that person was not very tall, it could even be said to be extremely thin, but the energy contained in it made peerless masters like Xue Gongwang and An Zhongxin widen their eyes.
The human figure gradually formed, and the hands of Sanada Tatsuhiko holding the knife trembled involuntarily.
That back figure, that frightening figure, actually appeared in front of him.
At first, I thought that I had escaped far enough, but I didn't expect that I would meet that man like the devil again in the end.
No one spoke.
The atmosphere was oppressive and weird. The figures with their backs to the crowd showed their real figures from the transparent water droplets. They were dressed like Yingzhou warriors. The skin could be seen under the worn clothes. Two wooden clogs stomped on the ground. On the ground, the other party twisted his neck, and a strange tone suddenly sounded: "Oh, oh, I didn't expect to meet the traitor I've been looking for for two years here, and I didn't expect you to hide here …Long Yan, do you know how important you have ruined? This matter has not been completed, how should I explain to the general? Oh hey, you are still going to make amends by taking off the head of Ni Huang and handing it over to him personally. Where's the general?"
The other party turned around slowly, revealing a pair of eyebrows upside down like a broom, an eagle watching a wolf, his eyes are as sharp as stars, all his hair is raised high by a red hair rope, his appearance can be said to be outstanding, but his nose is like a hook And thin lips, but ruined a good face, it shows that he is an extremely difficult and unkind person at the same time.
However, he has the aura of the world's sharpest sword out of its sheath all over his body. He is extremely fierce and does not move. The aura on his body makes it impossible to stare at him. If you stare at him for a long time, your eyes will be forced by the saber aura on him. bleeding.
The person was not tall, with a short ribbed knife stuck in his waist, his hands tucked into the large sleeves of the toga, holding his shoulders firmly, and staring at Tatsuhiko Sanada with playful eyes, which made Tatsuhiko Sanada look like a man. Back, even with Xue Gongwang as a "heavenly master" by his side, he couldn't hide the chill in his heart. At the same time, Xue Gongwang himself did not dare to act rashly.
"For those who come, sign up!" Jiang Shuihan asked coldly.
At the same time, the soles of the feet paused, and the signal was faintly transmitted from the underground agency.
The Yingzhou warrior did not speak, but the one who spoke was Xue Gongwang who was at the front.
Xue Gongwang took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "He is the number one warrior in Yingzhou, the master of Yingyu Shrine, and the number one strategist under the shogunate—Yuan Laizhou."
It's him!
The visitor bowed with a smile, and gave a respectful salute, which was regarded as an acknowledgment of Xue Gongwang's introduction.
Even Jiang Shuihan, who had always been calm, couldn't help being shocked.
Originally, as the leader of the Dajiang League, he didn't care about who the strongest person in Yingzhou in the East was, but as he commanded all the secret forces of the Jiangnan court, he who led the strategy must have access to all the existence of the Jiangnan court in the world. Threatening personal information. Among them, the number one warrior in Yingzhou is a peerless master of the same level as Long Sudunzhu of the Great Western Fan Kingdom. His martial arts realm has been stable for decades. Looking at Wu Dalu, he is one of the few top masters.
Unexpectedly, such a character finally came to the opposite side of his own side, and directly attacked his own side by means of assassination.
The situation where you could steadily improve your strength and weaken the enemy step by step, suddenly became dangerous.
After the visitor saluted, he slowly raised his head, glanced at the crowd with a sneer, and finally his eyes fell on Xue Gongwang, the arrogance in his eyes was irritating, and he said in a blunt tone: "Unexpectedly, there is such a master in Nanchao who can catch me With a strike of seven successes, you must be the rumored "Heavenly Hand" Xue Gongwang. Not bad, not bad. Only a master like you deserves to die under my knife. Although this assassination is important, if you can Fight me fairly, and I am willing to give up this assassination mission!"
"Fart!" An Zhong jumped up and cursed confidently, "You bastard think this is your home? You still have an assassination mission, do you think you have the ability to get out alive?"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of figures broke through the doors and windows all around, and a group of master attendants in tight samurai uniforms and green scarves rushed in, instantly surrounding Yuan Laizhou.
And there are countless masters in the outer circle, who are respectively led by the main force of the original Dajiang League, such as "Fixed Wind Stick" Min Ning, "Human Bear" Xiong Yuanlu, "Li Bengshan" Ran Sanxiong, etc., because they did not receive Jiang Shuihan's order. Still not daring to act rashly, looking at the scene here from a distance.
As for Yuan Laizhou, who was under heavy siege, he showed no fear, he didn't care about his situation, he continued to stare at Xue Gongwang, and said in a dark voice: "Will you accept my challenge? Do you think I will be afraid of you people?" many?"
Xue Gongwang suppressed his blood in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What an arrogant Yuan Laizhou, you intend to assassinate the emperor of my dynasty, the crime is extremely heinous, if this is an ordinary martial arts battle, I, Xue, would like to practice with you, but you offended my emperor , I must hold you accountable!"
"Ask the crime? Humph—" Yuan Laizhou glanced evilly around, "A mob is no better than Maizi!"
"Bold, take it!" An Zhongxin was already impatient with waiting, and he also knew that Xue Gongwang was not a stupid person, and would not really challenge such a master one-on-one. When the opponent was talking nonsense, he took advantage of the chaos to protect Huangfu Taiming from the dangerous place. good time.
So he gave an order, and the black-clothed masters all around made their moves together, one-third of the hands rushed at the enemy, one-third of the masters threw all kinds of hidden weapons and ropes, and the last third of the hands threw smoke Bullets and other blinders block the enemy's line of sight so that colleagues can transfer the emperor smoothly and safely.
