I don't know if the little palace lady had reported the news, or if the master palace lady who died in his hands was suspicious, but Fan Xian knew that this fight, although he didn't let the master palace lady make a sound, it would definitely startle He was a real expert in the palace, so he didn't care about dealing with the corpses on the ground at all. With his toes on the stone floor, his whole body had turned into a sharp arrow and flew towards the palace wall he had planned.
The palace wall was still so high, and Fan Xian was a little annoyed at his own speed. When he finally climbed to the top of the wall, he heard a buzzing sound coming from behind his head, as if the air behind him began to tremble.
He turned his head in astonishment, and then looked at the turret of the palace city in the far distance, there was a general looking at him with his bow.
In the night sky, a feathered arrow flew towards his face like a soul-devouring fetish!
Before one breath, the arrow is in the sky, after one breath, the arrow is in front of the eyes.
There seems to be a violent soul on the arrow, which is invincible. Fan Xian roared wildly, and the black scarf on his face was shattered into pieces by the roar. The nameless and domineering true energy that had been silently cultivated in his body for sixteen years was poured wildly and violently into his hands at this moment of life and death. .
Hengkong punched each other, and it happened to hit the shaft of the arrow!
For a moment, the violent qi held by the fists clashed with the powerful force attached to the arrow. The shaft of the arrow had been shattered into powder, and the arrow narrowly brushed against Fan Xian's hair, piercing the night sky far away!
A loud noise resounded through the night sky of the imperial city, waking up those who were asleep and terrifying those who were awake, like a thunderclap on the palace wall.
This arrow was so fierce that it was impossible for a mortal to shoot it. After blocking it with both fists, Fan Xian's true energy was emptied, and he fell down the palace wall powerlessly. His black clothes fluttered in the night wind, looking very miserable. .
Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the imperial palace on the corner tower of the distant palace, watched the assassin fall down the palace wall, narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a very powerful look, and said coldly: "He is not dead, go and catch him."
"Yes!" The subordinate guards took the order and left.
Under the palace wall, Fan Xian, who was all in black night clothes, fell slumped. The moment he was about to hit the ground, he twisted his body forcibly, supported the ground with one knee, one foot and one hand, and hit the ground with a muffled sound. The powerful shock force made him spit out blood, which wet the remaining pieces of black cloth on his face. Immediately afterwards, with a low growl, he ran into the woods outside the palace wall, and disappeared into the dark night of Kyoto just before the guards at the corner of the city appeared.

On the second day, in an unremarkable small room at the root of the imperial city. Old eunuch Hong seemed to be in a bad mood, sitting on the main seat with half-closed eyes. The two generals below are also closing their eyes and resting their minds. It seems that no one is willing to speak.
After a long time, the deputy commander Gong Dian who was resting at home last night said softly: "Your Majesty is shocked."
Yan Xiaoyi, who shot Fan Xian off the wall with an arrow last night, slowly opened his eyes and said coldly, "One of the eldest princess's maids died, and the eldest princess is very angry."
After the two spoke, the old eunuch Hong slowly opened his eyes, and said in an old voice: "I got a trick yesterday, and the queen mother is very upset."
"Who is it?" Gong Dian asked logically. In his mind, even if he was trying to trick a tiger, he would have no possibility of escape if he was targeted by a peerless expert like Hong Gonggong, who still had the power of a tiger despite his illness.
"I don't know." Eunuch Hong smiled slightly, "His performance is only in the upper middle of the ninth grade, but he is very familiar with the buildings in Kyoto, especially in the dark night. I was led around the capital by him for a whole day. In the end, I lost track of him, this person... is amazing."
It can make Eunuch Hong say that he is amazing. That person must be truly remarkable.
Yan Xiaoyi is thirty-five years old this year, and it is at the peak of the spirit of the elite. As the commander of the palace guards, he has to bear the responsibility for the safety of the entire palace. He gave the old eunuch Hong a cold look, and said: " Where did the father-in-law follow in the end?"
"In an alley not far from the Dongyi City Mission."
Gong Dian said: "The results of today's investigation came out. Eunuch Hong's pair of chopsticks pierced the clothes of the first assassin. After comparison, the Overwatch Council confirmed that it was from Xiang He Duan."
Yan Xiaoyi began to close his eyes and meditate. Gong Dian continued: "The Overwatch Council found out that the Dongyi City Mission had ordered a batch of clothes in Tianxiang section a while ago, and it was not in the name of the mission, but asked someone to help order it."
Eunuch Hong asked softly: "What does the deputy commander want to explain?"
Gong Dian smiled and said: "Why do you need to use someone else's name to order clothes? Obviously, it is because we are worried about some subtle traces being caught by us. According to various clues, the assassin who came for the first time should be from Dongyi City. The only one who can reach the level of the ninth rank is the first disciple of Si Gu Jian, Yun Zhilan who has been very quiet in the capital these days."
Yan Xiaoyi suddenly opened his eyes and said: "It's not Yun Zhilan. If people from Dongyi City want to sneak into the palace, what new clothes do they need to buy, just knock out a passer-by on the street and strip him of his clothes? Zhilan is such a straightforward person."
Eunuch Hong nodded: "Although the ninth-rank middle-ranked man concealed his sword intent, he still took the path of Si Gu Jian, so the old man is very interested. If it wasn't for Yun Zhilan, would there be someone from Dongyi City who dared to come here?" Don't listen to Yun Zhilan's orders?"
"There is a high possibility of blaming Yun Zhilan." Gong Dian frowned slightly after listening to what the two said, "It's a coincidence, so maybe someone blamed Yun Zhilan."
"How many people in Dongyi City are likely to take over Sigu Jian's mantle?"
"Three ninth grades including Yun Zhilan."
"The other two are suspected."
"Let's talk about the night walker who was shot down by the commander in the end. I heard that the commander's arrow shocked the whole palace, but it's a pity he didn't shoot him to death." From the tone of his words, it seemed that the old eunuch Hong had a similar relationship with the commander. There is not much harmony between the internal commanders.
Yan Xiaoyi looked down on this eunuch at all, but knowing that the other party was really the most unpredictable person in the palace, he snorted coldly and said: "The second assassin is also a rank nine character, although he is only a rank nine, but if you If I can shoot him to death with one arrow, wouldn't I become the Four Grand Masters?"
"Another ninth-rank?" Gong Dian was shocked. He himself had been wandering in the realm of eighth-rank all his life, and it was still difficult to make an inch of progress. Hearing that two ninth-rank masters sneaked into the palace last night, he had to have many complicated emotions. Come.
"There are only seven ninth ranks in the entire Qing Kingdom, and only four in the capital. How can there be so many ninth ranks in this world." The old eunuch Hong said lightly, obviously not believing the judgment of Commander Yan, thinking that the other party was giving Shirk responsibility yourself.
Gong Dian is most afraid of this kind of scene every time, and said quickly: "Your Majesty has a strict decree, ordering us to close the case within ten days. Judge clearly why the other party took such a big risk and sneaked into the palace."
Yan Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "The latter person doesn't know why, but the former person must have something to do with Dongyi City, so let's start with the Dongyi Mission to find out why those clothes were ordered. Know where every piece of clothing goes.”
While preparing the layout of the investigation, suddenly a young eunuch rushed in and announced the Holy Majesty's will. All the events of last night will be investigated by Ye Zhong, the garrison of the capital.
After the little eunuch left, the three palace guards in the room looked at each other. Yan Xiaoyi slowly closed his eyes, knowing that His Majesty began to doubt one of the three of him. Eunuch Hong walked out with his hands behind his back, his face was calm.
In the next few days, the Dasuo assassin in Jingzhong found nothing.
※※※
His Majesty's will actually relieved Fan Xian, the real entrant into the palace. In this plan, there were not too many mistakes in all aspects, but forcing Wu Zhu to wear the new brown clothes was a bit pretentious and showed his feet instead.
Fan Xian secretly found out that the batch of clothes Dongyi City ordered from Tianxiang Satin was because the son of Dongyi City Lord liked the retro style of Kyoto clothes, so he ordered a batch. As for why the order was placed anonymously, it was actually because of a very simple reason - the young master of Dongyi City, where merchants from all over the world met, was actually envious of the clothes of Nanman Qingguo. Those businessmen who have always been very courageous are scolded to death.
Of course, Fan Xian would use such a trick more, mainly because he didn't believe that Uncle Wu Zhu could perfectly imitate Si Gu Jian's sword intent. If he had known that Wu Zhu was so powerful to such a perverted level, Fan Xian would definitely use the trick of framing More perfect.
But the ending was good, at least the palace was still suspicious of the other two ninth-rank masters in Dongyi City, and the Overwatch Council also started to confirm where the other two disciples of Sigu Jian were on the day the enemy came to the palace.
No one would think of Fan Xian. Because on the night when the enemy came to the palace, all the high-ranking officials in the capital of the Qing Dynasty watched him drink a thousand bottles of wine and a hundred poems in the main hall, making Zhuang Mohan, a great master in the Northern Qi Dynasty, vomit blood with anger, and wished that his hair would turn white overnight. In the end, he was so drunk that he fell at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor.
This is a misunderstanding of human thinking. It is not just that it is impossible for Fan Xian to get up when he is drunk, but people are used to that when a person does something shocking, it is impossible to do another immediately. one thing.
It is impossible to climax again after the climax, there must always be a refractory period.
