The Zhaixing Building is about two or three miles southeast of the imperial palace. With such a long distance, under the cover of the wind and snow, no one noticed the slightest movement in the distance. The white and precious fur on the Zhaixing Tower trembled slightly, and the muzzle of the gun made a loud noise accompanied by fireworks, but the speed of the sound was much slower than the speed of the bullet.
At least for this moment, everyone on the top of the imperial palace and in front of the turrets are still quietly looking at the strong men who are waiting to die in the snow in front of the palace, and the elite soldiers of the Qing army all around, without any awareness that the scythe of the god of death has split the air. , approached their Emperor His Majesty in a way that people in this world could not even imagine.
From the Zhaixing Tower to the top of the imperial city, the fluctuation that represents death will last for more than a second, enough for a person to blink a few times. Then, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been squinting his eyes calmly and watching the city, did not notice the occasional flash of light in the snowstorm two or three miles away this time.
Therefore, the time left for this great master to react has become extremely small. When he sensed a deadly aura suddenly appeared in the world, even an aura that he could not resist, he only had time to blink his eyes, and his expression changed. Turning pale, the light in the pupils condensed and dispersed, and the body quickly retreated like a cloud of smoke!
His Majesty the Emperor was injured, and his true energy was consumed a lot. However, at this critical moment of life and death, an energy that is impossible for human beings exploded. He disappeared in a distant place in an instant, and slammed into it like a wandering spirit. In the turret!
…
…
Suddenly! A muffled sound resounded at this moment, and the high-speed spinning bullet that had no chance of somersaults shot past the bright yellow figure's shoulder, blasting a big hole about one foot square in the hard palace wall. , I don't know how deep!
At this moment, the green brick and hard gravel broke away from the main body and sprayed outward in the form of rays, just like a flower blooming.
Except for the emperor who retreated like a puff of smoke, no one in the city reacted, and no one even realized what had happened, because at that moment, the ferocious flowers blooming on the blue brick wall were still alive. On the way of splashing, the sharp-edged stone chips seemed to remain stationary in the air, mixed with the surrounding snowflakes, and stabbed in one place!
His Majesty the Emperor dodged this shot? No. Regardless of the psychological reasons for the assassin in the snow on the top of the Star Reaching Tower, he paused for a moment when he lightly moved his finger, thus making the seemingly sure-kill shot miss, but immediately afterwards, The second shot came, followed by the muffled sound of the first shot like thunder.
The sound of the first shot was about to reach the square in front of the palace, and the second shot had already arrived like a shadow, like smashing tofu, breaking a fist-sized hole in the wooden door of the turret and shooting into the dark and quiet turret middle.
There has never been a gun that kills, especially when the target is an unfathomable Grand Master. The assassin in the snow on the roof of the Zhaixing Building, due to the restrictions in Kyoto today, the selected sniper location is a bit remote. He can clearly calculate the time it takes for the bullet to fly in the air. He has never expected such a shot. He could kill the emperor, but he knew that in order to avoid the shot, the emperor would tremble all over and would not spare any energy. The physical and psychological shock would definitely make the emperor use all his strength.
That is speed. The assassin on the top of the Star Reaching Tower clearly calculated the position, speed, and instantaneous displacement of the Emperor's Majesty, and moved his fingers for the second time with unusual stability, aiming at the position where His Majesty retreated exhausted. After going out, he actually put all his hopes on this second shot!
Being able to calculate so many things in such a short period of time, and draw a positive conclusion on the emperor's choice, it is obvious that the assassin understands the emperor's disposition, and knows more about the emperor's attitude towards this gun... that is, what the world knows The knowledge and fear of the box.
The most important thing is that the Assassin of Zhaixing Tower can actually know the speed that a great master can display at the moment of life and death, so that he can accurately calculate the final landing point of the emperor, and it is difficult to drift again!
This cannot be calculated, nor can it be verified, because no one in the world, except those few great masters, can really push the great master to a dead end, let alone understand the speed of the great master.
Unless... There was once a great master who personally helped the assassin on the top of the Star Reaching Tower and trained him countless times!
…
…
Before the blink of an eye could even finish half of it, His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly overwhelmed by fear from his previously calm and stern mood. Countless domineering qi exploded in his body in this instant, his face was pale, and his pupils shrank and dilated slightly. , floated with all his strength, disappeared from the spot in an instant, and crashed into the turret that had been extremely quiet all along.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who had never been extremely confident and powerful in this life, and who had never known fear, finally felt a trace of fear, a trace of fear of death. Because although he couldn't see what the aura that moved him so much was, he knew that the box he feared the most...had finally appeared.
A muffled explosion resounded across the top of the palace, and the second shot pierced through the wooden door of the turret. Along a straight and invisible line, the murderous bullet was aimed at His Majesty the Emperor who had just fled to the back of the quiet room of the turret, trembling all over. Chest shot!
This shot was so terrific, so terrific that it took into account any thoughts and actions of the emperor. The domineering zhenqi in the emperor's body had already exploded into an invisible air current at the head of the palace. At this moment, there was a void in his body, so it was impossible for him to dodge like a fairy again in an instant. What was even more frightening was that the second shots came continuously, without any interval between them. When the emperor sensed the soul-devouring aura coming like waves, he was unable to react at all.
However, the assassins on the Zhaixing Tower counted all kinds of things, but they couldn't count the corner tower of the imperial city. The quiet room behind His Majesty the Emperor was actually not quiet. There were many, many people standing in it, and a dozen of them were silent, as if they didn't even breathe. A man clad in armor like a ghost and holding a thick steel shield.
These people seem to have stood in this quiet turret for countless years, never changing their posture, blocking the possibility of shooting from all directions to this turret room. When the capital rebelled three years ago, there was bloody slaughter on and off the city, but neither Fan Xian nor the First Prince noticed anything unusual in this room. Where were these shield-wielding ghosts in armor at that time
Could it be that these shield bearers who looked like they had stood indifferently for countless years were the final arrangements made by His Majesty the Emperor in order to calm the fear in his heart? These shield bearers who have stood for countless years, the only mission in this life is to block the deadly bullets fired from that box for His Majesty
But how could these stainless steel shields from the inner warehouse block the most powerful gunpowder weapon in the world? This is the last dragon-slaying knife and the last emperor sword left by the mistress of Neiku in this world. How can the other inheritance left by her be resisted
No one could clearly see what happened at that moment, but the shield bearer standing on the left hand of the emperor trembled, and the dust covering the steel shield he held tightly with both hands trembled, and immediately behind the shield His Majesty the Emperor trembled.
The shield bearer fell down with a bang, and a hole appeared in the steel shield.
It was as if the hammer of punishment had been lowered from heaven, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be hit hard by the sledgehammer, and he retreated abruptly, smashing the back wall of the turret room, coming out through the wall, and was knocked down in the cold on the snow!
Blood flowed from the emperor's left chest. The wound on his body was torn apart by the violent action at this moment when he stood in the Tai Chi Hall. The sword that Wang Shisanlang cut on his right chest, Fan Xian pointed The wounds cut by the sharp sword energy on his neck began to bleed again, turning this mighty king into a pitiful blood man.
The emperor was lying on the snowy ground, breathing rapidly, his black pupils flickered, and his left chest was slightly sunken, covered with blood, and the real wound could not be seen clearly. The snow was under his head, and he stared at the cold and tearful sky, with two hands outside his sleeves clenched tightly to prevent himself from falling into the darkness.
Endless fear and anger flooded his mind, and the box, the box finally appeared. In this world, His Majesty the Emperor has always thought that he is the one who knows the box best, even better than Chen Pingping, because Xiao Yezi used this box to kill two princes silently and sent Prince Cheng's mansion to the Dragon Palace. chair.
There is no one who is not afraid of the existence of this kind of thing, but the son of Prince Cheng or the crown prince was not afraid, because the box belonged to her, and if it belonged to him, it would be considered his own. But...but...after the incident in the Taiping Courtyard, the emperor began to be afraid. He was afraid every day and every night. He was afraid that he would not know when the box would appear, and a spark would suddenly burst out from somewhere. , will be like a divine hand coming from the sky, taking his life away and avenging his master.
Because of this fear, His Majesty the Emperor seldom left the palace after the incident in the Taiping Courtyard. No, just like what Fan Xian had heard when he first entered the capital, the Emperor hadn't been out of the palace much since then!
Although he has never seen that box, he knows the terrifying effect of the box. He is hiding in the high imperial city like a turtle, surrounded by palace walls, and there is no one in the capital that can pass through. The buildings of these walls.
His Majesty's subjects all thought that His Majesty was diligent in political affairs, that's why they kept locked in the palace. Who knew he was afraid? They all thought that His Majesty was merciful and caring for the people, and that he couldn't bear to disturb the local area, so that's why he didn't patrol the border. Who knew he was still afraid
This situation lasted until the fourth year of Qingli, when the child from Danzhou finally entered Beijing, the fifth child seemed to have really forgotten a lot of things, and no one connected himself with the incident in Taiping Bieyuan, His Majesty the Emperor gradually relaxed After a while, she will occasionally leave the palace in casual clothes. Even so, he still didn't dare to leave the capital, because in those long fields of the Qing Dynasty, who knew if there would be a fire of vengeance hidden in the darkness waiting for him? For the Dadongshan incident, the emperor had to leave the capital, but he recalled Fan Xian back to Danzhou immediately, and called him to his side, because only with his son by his side could he feel that he was safe!
Speaking of it, what a sad life this is. The emperor owns a boundless land and hundreds of millions of subjects, but he can't see or feel it. In the second half of his life, he seems to have everything, but in fact? He was just a prisoner imprisoned in the palace by himself.
…
…
The emperor is not afraid of death, he is only afraid that he will not see his grand plan and great cause come true before he dies. There are not many people or things that can kill him in this world, except for the blind man and the box, so when Chen Pingping came back from Dazhou in an unusually indifferent and cold-blooded way, His Majesty the Emperor felt a bit of coolness in addition to his anger.
Those sergeants covered in dust and holding shields were hiding in the turrets of the imperial city like this. When His Majesty squinted slightly and watched the old dog die in the Qiuyu Falun with his hands behind his back, those people waited silently. Behind him, however, that day, the box did not appear.
However, the box appeared today, and it appeared so abruptly. His Majesty the Emperor found with some sadness that he still underestimated the horror of the box, at least the ability of the person using the box today. He did not expect that the breath of death could find his location accurately under the shelter of the turret. It easily pierced through the fine steel shield, and finally shot at himself mercilessly.
The pure white snow was stained red by the blood flowing from the emperor's body. At this moment, the people on the turret finally came to their senses. Although they still didn't know what happened, at least they knew that things had changed!
Eunuch Yao crawled to His Majesty's side with a face full of horror, his voice hoarse and unable to utter a word, his whole body trembling, his palms subconsciously pawed at the wound on His Majesty's chest and abdomen, pulled out some broken pieces of metal, and pulled out Some flesh and blood were lost, but the murder weapon was still nowhere to be found.
The emperor's body rose and fell with rapid breathing, and he looked at the eunuch Yao beside him with distracted eyes: "Zhen... I can't... die!"
His Majesty the Emperor gritted his teeth to say these words, but after such a severe injury, no matter how harsh the words were, they seemed a little weak. His Majesty the Emperor looked past Eunuch Yao's face, still staring fiercely at the snowflakes falling from the sky, howling in his heart, I am ordered by the sky, who can kill me! If I don't die today, it's because God won't let me die!
The assassin on the top of the Star Reaching Tower counted everything, but after all, he didn't count how powerful the physical body of His Majesty the Great Master is. To be more precise, he didn't count that His Majesty the Emperor, who looks down on the world, is actually afraid of death So, actually put a breast shield on the atrium in the dragon robe!
The soul-eating line blasted by the heavy sniper traversed a long distance in the sky of Kyoto, and then penetrated the steel shield. In the end, although there was no deviation, it accurately hit the chest of His Majesty the Emperor, but it was already at the end of its strength. A large piece of his sternum was shattered, but he didn't tear all the flesh and blood that came into contact with it from the root bone, immediately and completely destroying the life of this king.
Earlier in the abandoned garden, when Fan Xian took out the steel plate from his chest, the emperor sarcastically reprimanded him, saying that small tricks can't accomplish great things, but who would have thought that His Majesty the emperor would have escaped with such small tricks in the end.
But for those who achieve great things, be cautious, no matter how extreme caution is necessary, and cherish life, no matter how embarrassing and boring, it is necessary to cherish life. From this aspect, the emperor and Fan Xian and his son are actually two shameless people who are very similar in the world.
"Zhaixing Tower." The emperor stared at the gray sky with scattered eyes. He knew that the person who used that box today must not be the fifth child, because if the person who came was the fifth child, he would have already entered the palace by this time , he gasped and said, "Kill them all."
…
…
His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated suddenly, he was unconscious, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. This incident was like a thunderstorm, and all the officials and generals in the imperial city were shocked, and they didn't know what to do next. Those strong men surrounded by countless people in the imperial city still haven't escaped. As long as the second wave of arrows is shot again, I'm afraid everyone will die, including Fan Xian who is still unconscious.
The imperial doctors were rushing over here from the imperial hospital. Gong Dian had already rushed to His Majesty's side with a pale face, took out the wound medicine he carried with him, and tried to stop the bleeding, but the effect did not seem to be very good.
However, Eunuch Yao still firmly remembered His Majesty's last confession before he fell into a coma. With trembling body, he walked around the turret, and approached the deputy commander of the imperial army cautiously.
Eunuch Yao crouched on the palace wall, looking very funny, but he was really scared, because he knew how powerful His Majesty was, but such a powerful king was seriously injured by an invisible assassin, how could he If he wasn't afraid, he even worried that he would be torn into a piece of flesh and blood by invisible lines in the air the next moment.
The scene that happened immediately made Eunuch Yao's pupils shrink suddenly, and he fell to the ground, confirming his fear once again!
…
…
With a muffled puff, the deputy commander of the forbidden army standing indifferently at the head of the palace was about to wave a flag to give the order to let the soldiers above and below the city rain down arrows again, but his shoulders just moved, and his whole head suddenly disappeared!
Yes, just like a ghost story in broad daylight, the head of the deputy commander of the forbidden army suddenly exploded like this, like a ripe watermelon, or like a skin bag filled with water, bursting open for no reason. It turned into a piece of bloody white pulp on the city wall, spreading all over the sky...
What's even more frightening is that after the head of the deputy commander of the forbidden army exploded, it seemed that his body didn't even know the fact that his head had turned into a sky full of brains. The puppet of the thread, the whole person collapsed!
Shouts and screams resounded from the top of the imperial palace. Such a horrific scene happened in front of countless officers and soldiers. How could they not be frightened? Everyone began to tremble and opened their eyes desperately. , On the imperial city, under the city, in the team of companions, even in the sky where there is nothing but snowflakes, desperately search!
Of course they couldn't find anything, they didn't know what happened, they only knew that the deputy commander's head suddenly exploded! The elite Imperial Guards of the Qing Kingdom would never have thought that the assassin was several miles away. They shouted in vain and searched angrily.
Searching for nothing has gradually turned into fear. This kind of invisible assassin, this kind of irresistible killing, how can mortals be able to resist
Endless panic began to quickly pervade the walls of the palace. All the soldiers searched helplessly. Some people were almost collapsed by the pressure of silence. The bows and arrows aimed at the people below the palace also subconsciously loosened some.
The Qing Army's military discipline was strict, and it was impossible for the Qing Army's deputy commander to become a mass of scattered sand because of the tragic death. On the battlefield, during the suppression of the rebellion, the Qing soldiers did not know how many strange and horrific ways of death they had seen. However, such a divine blow like today's really forced the secular people to think in those weird directions.
Another general roared bravely a few times, trying to subdue the emotions of the subordinates of the Forbidden Army, and at the same time issued an order to attack downwards, but his roar only lasted a few times before it stopped abruptly, because the officers and soldiers in the city were terrified. The killing intent came again, the general's chest and abdomen were blown out a huge hole, his stomach and intestines turned into a ball of rotten blood, he fell down without even groaning.
At this point, the atmosphere of panic could no longer be suppressed, and the imperial city was in chaos.
…
…
The changes in the imperial city have naturally spread to the city, but the sergeants who ordered to seal the surroundings did not know what happened, and the archers who aimed at the people waiting to die in the snow felt their hands It was almost sour, but still did not get the will to release the arrow. Those generals frowned even more, they were very worried about what happened on the imperial wall and how it could be so chaotic.
If it was an ordinary leader fighting, if today's palace was just a simple battlefield, then no one would foolishly wait for His Majesty's order before firing arrows. However, today is different after all, the direction of ten thousand arrows, the circle of people is Lord Xiao Fan.
Everyone knew what it meant to kill Fan Xian, and the grievances and enmities between Lord Fan and His Majesty were also well understood by everyone. Without His Majesty's clear will, no one would have dared to shoot arrows so rashly, but At this time, the generals in the city did not know that His Majesty the Emperor was seriously injured, fell into a coma, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
This eerie silence didn't last long. He will be outside, facing the tense situation, he must have his own reaction, even if it is only outside the palace. General Fei frowned and stared at the middle of the snow field, and found that the besieged assassins seemed to have noticed the change on the palace wall, and began to have the courage and idea to break out of the encirclement.
But after all, Shi Fei was a formidable figure who was able to subdue Yan Xiaoyi's North Camp all by himself. He didn't know where the whim came from, so he didn't issue the military order to attack directly, but issued it through the deputy general beside him. On the one hand, it was the unknown fear that made him make this choice, on the other hand, Shi Fei, like all civil servants and generals in the Qing Kingdom, never wanted Fan Xian to die by his own hands.
This thought directly saved Shi Fei's life, because the lieutenant beside him had just raised the command flag in his hand before falling to the ground.
It wasn't that he didn't ride the horse steadily, nor was it because of any other reason, because following the lieutenant general's body, the horse under him also fell into the snow, and countless blood quickly stained the white snow red.
Shi Fei shrank his eyes and looked at the flesh and blood of the lieutenant beside him with a pale complexion. He knew that if he gave the order before, then he would have died. Who can stop this invisible and unpredictable blow from the sky!
Shi Fei also understood the reason for the change on the palace wall, but... is His Majesty still alive
…
…
After the slight commotion in the imperial city, it returned to the quiet, deathly quiet. The military discipline of the Qing army was indeed the best in the world. Who dares to do anything? The complexions of all the sergeants were somewhat pale or even blue. They were waiting for His Majesty's order, but His Majesty never appeared on the imperial city again.
Another gunshot broke the tranquility of the square in front of the palace. When an ascetic monk wearing a hat tried to use his bravery to drive the silent soldiers to charge, he was accurately knocked down in the snow. Without a trace of convulsions, it directly turned into a dead body.
Deathly silence.
There was another shot.
There was another dead silence.
There was another shot.
Four times like this, there were four more dead bodies on the snow, and the gunfire fell silent, as if it would never sound again. Everyone in the imperial city understands that this supreme assassin who can complete a blow from outside the sky is the police and everyone in the court of the Qing Kingdom. Don't try to make any moves. Anyone who dares to move on this vast white snow, They are all the targets he must kill.
There was a sound, one person died, and a bloody corpse lay in the snow. It was never an accident. This kind of cold and silent announcement froze everyone's hearts.
This is a man challenging a country.
…
…
The deadly silence lasted for an unknown amount of time. The horses began to kick their hooves a little uneasily, splashing a little snow. The strong men surrounded by the snow didn't seem to want to touch the tense nerves of the mighty Qing army. There is no option to force a breakout at this moment.
No one knows what happened to those muffled noises piercing through the snowy and clear sky of Kyoto, and how those people died.
Ye Zhong, who was in full armor, sat indifferently on his horse. The elite cavalry he led was enough to guarantee two back and forth charges, and he killed these strong men in the snow, but he did not move. Although with his strong strength of the ninth rank, he could hear those muffled noises coming from behind him, he vaguely felt that the assassin who struck from outside the sky could not cover the whole audience, and it was a matter of arrows shooting at a blind spot, if the cavalry at this time Rushed over, thinking that the assassin couldn't stop himself.
But Ye Zhong just sat silently and steadily on the horse. His Majesty's life and death are unknown at this time, and he is the one with the highest status in the field. He has never shown his mountains and dews, but no one dares to despise him.
The reason why Ye Zhong didn't move was very simple, not because His Majesty didn't make an order, but because he knew what those things that took people's lives and seemed to be piercing from the sky, and what those muffled noises were.
It's the box. The box finally appeared again. Ye Zhong lowered his eyes slightly, ignoring the burning gazes of the generals around him, as if he had fallen asleep. In fact, his heart had already stirred up a storm.
When the Taiping Bieyuan incident broke out, he was transferred to Dingzhou by the emperor as a rear army. It was obvious that the emperor did not believe Ye Zhong's position between himself and Ye Qingmei. I still remember that when Ye Qingmei first entered the capital, she had a fight with Ye Zhong, who was still young. Ye Zhong knew those people too well. Although he never expressed any opinions, it doesn't mean he didn't know that About the box, I don't know about the Taiping Courtyard, and why Chen Pingping betrayed His Majesty.
Many, many images flashed through Ye Zhong's mind, many, many people from back then, and he also felt a little tired. His eyes finally became clear and fell on the young man in the snow, and he remembered that young man His mother, the young girl who refused to check herself at the gate of the city with that box.
In this matter, Ye Zhong felt that His Majesty was wrong, so he remained silent for a while, and he would never move until there was no order.
…
…
How long can the deathly silence last? How long will it take for this storm to stop? At this moment, a young man in light yellow clothes walked up the city wall of the imperial palace step by step, stood on the edge of the city wall, and calmly looked at Fan Xian in the snow below the city.
At this time, the imperial guards on the top of the city were in a bit of a mess, and most of them lowered their heads subconsciously, avoiding the kind of death harvest that might come from outside the sky, so this young man in light yellow clothes stood at the city wall, unexpectedly Looked so tall and so brave.
"Mr. Yi Qinglu, Your Majesty is in a coma and can't see things. Should I automatically become a state supervisor?" Third Prince Li Chengping asked, clenching his two fists tightly in his sleeves.
The eunuch Yao who was beside him looked pale and looked around in a trembling voice replied: "But His Majesty just fell into a coma, and it hasn't passed seven days."
"Can the current situation wait? You want to see all the famous generals and generals in my Daqing be hacked to death by God!" Li Chengping turned his head and looked at Eunuch Yao viciously.
Eunuch Yao felt a chill in his heart, and said: "Your Highness, this is an important matter for the country. The servant shouldn't talk too much, but if His Majesty wakes up, I'm afraid..."
"There is nothing to be afraid of. Get everyone out." The coldness in Li Chengping's eyes became more and more intense, and the chill in Eunuch Yao's heart became more and more intense. In these years, although the Third Prince had been educated by Fan Xian, It seems that he has become a warm and benevolent prince, but eunuch Yao knows what kind of vicious character this young prince was back then. Once he really forced the other party, remember this big grievance, how will he live in the future
What's more, the country of Qing will always be passed on to His Highness the Third Highness in the future, if His Majesty really dies this time, His Highness may sit on the Dragon Throne tomorrow.
"When they go out of the square and pursue them again, I can always give my father an explanation. What's the point of dying here?" Li Chengping squinted his eyes slightly, looking at his brother in the snow. Sir, he didn't show anything. Any emotion that shouldn't be shown.
…
…
In the snow on the roof of the Zhaixing Building, the metal tube under the pure white and precious fur kept making loud noises, tearing the air and harvesting the lives of the distant palace. These sounds were extremely loud. Although the reaction force was reduced a lot, the white snow on the roof of the Zhaixing Building was still swaying and slippery, and these sounds spread far away, disturbing the people in the surrounding streets and houses.
The officials of the Kyoto government have already discovered the strangeness of this place, but the Zhaixing Building is a forbidden area of the imperial court. Although it has been abandoned for many years, no one can go in and check it without formalities. In addition, today is still the first few days, and the New Year's Eve is still going on. These yamen servants thought that maybe someone's urchin was playing the spring thunder inside, but the sound of the spring thunder seemed to be louder.
After all, the response speed of the inner court was faster. His Majesty the Emperor calmly said the name of Zhaixing Tower before he fell into a coma. The masters of the inner court sneaked out of the palace, followed the Yuhe River on the left side of the palace, and went straight through the mountains and forests. , came to Kyoto East City with the fastest speed.
Two streets away, I heard the loud noise from the Zhaixing Tower. These inner court masters cheered up, forcibly suppressed the tension in their hearts, and rushed towards them in four directions. They believed that the terrible assassin had If you are still on the Star Reaching Building, you will definitely not be able to escape before people like yourself surround you.
However, when the masters of the inner court bravely rushed into the garden of the Zhaixing Building, until they finally found the roof, they still did not find anyone, but there was an obvious mark in the thick white snow on the roof, except for this trace , empty, as if no one has ever been there, the quietness makes one feel guilty.
The snowflakes were still falling, and the inner court masters carefully examined the traces left in the snow on the roof, only to find that the terrifying assassin had not left any clues. Although those traces were obvious, they had already been cleaned up. I can't even see the figure of that person.
An inner court guard was guarding an alley outside the Zhaixing Building, his face was pale, and he was watching the few passers-by vigilantly. Suddenly, he saw a man who looked like a servant coming over, and his heart There was a click.
This young man is a young man, and what makes the inner court guard suspicious is that this man's body is covered with a thick layer of fur. The cyan cloth was really wrapped, but turned over at the knees, revealing the other side of the fur.
The side as white as snow, this is an extremely valuable fur, which servant can afford such an expensive thing
The guards of the inner court narrowed their pupils, and immediately stopped in front of this servant, and wanted to call out to his companions, but unexpectedly, his eyes blurred, and then his jaw went numb. The inner court master leaned against the wall of the alley and died immediately, but his body was extremely stiff and he did not fall to the ground.
With a touch of his fingertips, the servant took out the thin needle stuck under the man's jaw, and wrapped it tightly around the thick fur covering his body. He seemed a little afraid of the cold, and walked out of the alley, disappearing in the wind and snow of Kyoto in an instant. among.
…
…
Today in Kyoto, there is a lot of wind and snow, and there is a lot of movement, but not many people know what happened in front of the imperial palace that was sealed off by martial law. The censors at Yushitai Kouyan had already been forcibly taken back to their respective mansions at night, and the adults of the various ministries were also notified by the Overwatch Council to stay in their mansions forcibly. Even Scholar Hu could not get close to the imperial city. .
It didn't take long for this depressive tension and fluctuation to spread to that street in the southern city of Kyoto. I don't know how many rich and powerful families live on this street, and everyone's vigilant and suspicious eyes are only on one family, which is the Fan Mansion. .
Fan Mansion is as usual today, there is no panic, no sadness, no tension, those who should boil water should boil water, and those who should cook should cook. The results of Fan Xian's negotiation with His Majesty in the palace were obviously not reflected in the mansion. Lin Wan'er, the mistress of the mansion, did not bring her family with her. Taking advantage of this short time, she left Beijing and returned to Danzhou with the tacit consent of His Majesty the Emperor. She still stayed in the mansion quietly and a little scary, sitting in the flower hall, waiting for the man to come back, if he can't come back, then what's the point of leaving the capital
"Why hasn't Ruoruo woke up yet?" Lin Wan'er smiled gently, but there was a hint of sadness in the smile, she looked at Sisi who was feeding the child and said, "Did you yell?"
Just as he was talking, Miss Fan's family, who was released from the palace last night, slowly walked over from outside the hall. Her body was as clean as usual, her brows were as cold as ever, and her shoes were not stained with snow water at all. She looked at her sister-in-law and smiled, then sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks. Her hand holding the chopsticks was so steady without any trembling.
