Today is also the day I was attacked by the little lord

"This is Miss Ling's handwriting," Yuan Ruozhuo unfolded the secret letter scroll, his expression gradually became serious, "...It seems that something went wrong inside Xuanxiao Pavilion."

Ye Zhiheng also frowned when he heard his words, and looked closer, only to see that there were only a few words on the letter, and the handwriting appeared extremely messy and scribbled, as if the writer was in a panic when writing.The general idea of ​​the text is that the power holders of Xuanxiao Pavilion suddenly launched a rebellion and imprisoned more than [-] elite killers in the underground palace of the meeting hall.

According to the signature of the letter, it can be known that more than five days have passed since it was sent. If Su Xun and Duan Yunyang were notified after the palace examination was over, it would have missed the timing.

"This letter came so slowly, it must have something to do with the destruction of the Messenger Bird..." Yuan Ruozhuo sighed, and asked helplessly, "Brother Ye, what should we do now?"

Ye Zhiheng thought silently, thinking that the materials and personnel in the Wuxie building have basically been transferred to the west of the city, and there should be no major problems. For the present plan, it is better to inform Duan Su and the other in time, so he said in a deep voice:

"Yuanbao, the situation is urgent. I will immediately lead people to sneak into the palace and inform the Lord and Mr. Duan of the news. I am afraid that Wuxie Tower is no longer safe here. You should rush to Duanfu in the west of the city together with Mo Tang's dark guards as soon as possible." , we will meet there then."

"Well, then you should be careful."

Yuan Ruozhuo hurriedly nodded, even though he was worried, he knew that this was not the time to be indecisive.Ye Zhiheng took a deep look at him, nodded heavily, turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

At the same time, in Liang Guo's palace.

This night was starless and moonless, and the thick and stagnant haze was overwhelming, permeating the oppressive and congested atmosphere.

The patrolling guards in the palace passed by the entrance of the Baohe Hall, and as the footsteps gradually receded, two nimble figures flew down from the roof of the hall and ran towards the rear right door.

It was Su Xun and Duan Yunyang in disguise.

They sneaked out of the residence in the dark, avoiding the eyes of the palace patrols all the way.The purpose of this trip was to find evidence of the collusion between the high-level Xuanxiao Pavilion and the royal family, and to determine the true identity of the person who imprisoned Su Xun in the past, so the destination was locked on the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the southwest of the Qianqing Palace in the inner court.

However, the palaces where the examinees live are concentrated in the southeast of the palace. To reach the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the living area, one has to go through several layers of palace walls and the blockade of guards.So it took a full half an hour before the two arrived at the Qianqing Gate.

"According to the news from Lao Li and others, the Hall of Mental Cultivation appears to be a resting place for Emperor Liang on weekdays, but it is actually a place for confidential matters and discussions," Duan Yunyang's voice came from the wind, "That place must be heavily guarded. With the strength of the two of you and me, can we have the confidence to break in?"

Su Xun shook his head, and said softly: "Now it's the palace examination period, and the daily affairs in the palace are all put on hold, even the daily government affairs are postponed, and the main defense force has also been moved outside the palace. And at this time The night is getting dark, tomorrow Emperor Liang will be the one who will be the one who presents the questions for the palace examination, and he should go to bed earlier, I think the guards at the Hall of Mental Cultivation are no different than usual."

Having said that, he harbored worries in his heart.It is true that I and Duan Yunyang were pre-emptive strikes, but if Xu Pingzhi had discovered and notified the upper management in advance, their whereabouts might be exposed soon.

However, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. At this moment, panic and worry are futile. He simply suppressed his anxiety, gave Duan Yunyang a comforting smile, and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As expected, when the two arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the night was already dark, and the guards near the palace wall had already fallen asleep leaning against the door frame, and the guards outside the hall also dozed off intermittently.

Su Xun's figure was like lightning, and the silver dagger in his hand slashed lightly on everyone's body, planting a powerful anesthetic on everyone without sound, even if a thunderstorm fell from the sky at this moment, they would not be able to wake them up.

Duan Yunyang pried open the locked palace door two or three times from the side, the two smiled at each other, quickly sneaked into the room, and carefully closed the door as it was.

There was no light in the hall, and the vision was very dim. Duan Yunyang took out two luminous pearls from his bosom and handed one to Su Xun.The faint halo immediately illuminated the square inch in front of their eyes, but it didn't look dazzling at all, even if they observed it from the outside, they couldn't find any abnormalities.

The furnishings in the Hall of Mental Cultivation are surprisingly simple, except for a small table and a few wooden chairs, there is a soft couch and a long and narrow desk for Emperor Liang to rest on weekdays.

According to the previous division of labor, Duan Yunyang immediately searched in the room, while Su Xun went straight to the soft couch, looking for hidden organs around.

There is nothing unusual around the bed, except that there is a plush carpet laid out underneath, which is soft to the touch and seems to be a good product offered by neighboring countries.

His gaze flicked across the carpet, originally unintentionally, but suddenly froze on a few strange brown spots.

He couldn't help but leaned down to check carefully, and stretched out his hand to touch it lightly. He found that these places on the carpet were extremely hard and rough. He retracted his hand to his nose and sniffed lightly, and there was even a faint salty smell escaping. almost imperceptible—

This is clearly human blood!

Su Xun's heart suddenly felt awe-inspiring. He has been working as a killer for many years, which taught him to clearly distinguish the difference between animal blood and human blood.It stands to reason that the Hall of Mental Cultivation is the most private place of the royal family, and the defenses cannot be said to be poor, and it is even more unusual for ordinary people to enter.And the amount of bleeding on the carpet clearly shows that there was a fierce conflict here...

He observed carefully again, and saw that the bloodstains on the carpet were of different shades, and it seemed that they were not left on the same day. It should be that there had been several bloodshed incidents here, and the bloodstains had accumulated over time.

However, if the facts are as I think, those who can repeatedly break the ban in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and hurt others unscrupulously, except for Emperor Liang, don't think of anyone else.

How many secrets are still unknown in the court of Liang Kingdom?

He couldn't help feeling a chill on his back, but time was running out and there was no room for thinking about it, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being and continue to study the mechanism at the bed.

This bed is much wider than the style used by ordinary people, and its height is far beyond the normal level, even if it is used for storage, it is more than enough.

Su Xun tapped lightly from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and stopped at the muffled sound of the bed.

Carefully stroking the bed with his fingertips, he quickly found a protrusion and pressed it, and the bed was split open in the middle, revealing two rows of hidden compartments, which were filled to the brim with stacks of letters and documents !

"What did you find?"

Hearing the sound, Duan Yunyang also stopped his movements, and quickly walked to Su Xun's side to check.

The two quickly took out the documents and looked through them, only to see that they were densely packed with details of the delivery of new weapons and the latest personnel arrangements of the palace army.

The more you look at the content, the more shocking you will be. You must know that the source of these weapons is not elsewhere, but the Xuanshu Department of Xuanxiao Pavilion!

There is only one thing that is particularly weird. These letters do not have the unique approval seal of the Xuanshu Department, but only the direct authorization pattern of Tianwu. In other words, the transportation of these weapons may even be kept in the dark by the Xuanshu Department. , all handled by Tian Wu.

"Damn... Is Tian Wu crazy?" With anger burning in his heart, Duan Yunyang's voice was almost gnashing his teeth. It is difficult for even aristocratic families to afford it, if this continues, Xuanxiao Pavilion's many years of heritage must not be exhausted!"

"Yun Yang, calm down first, maybe this... is what the people behind the scenes want us to see."

Su Xun felt horrified by all this in his heart, but at this moment, he was terribly calm. After all, thinking about it carefully, from the two of them breaking into the palace test all the way to finding the secret letter, everything seemed to be obtained too easily.

It seems that someone has already arranged everything in advance, just waiting for them to follow the established rhythm step by step, and invite you into the urn.

Duan Yunyang is so tenacious, after his reminder, he suddenly woke up in anger, and couldn't help but be full of worries about the situation in front of him.He reached out and rummaged through the documents several times, and found that among the piled letters, a piece of paper with yellowed edges was particularly eye-catching, so he took it out to check.

It was a picture scroll, and when I opened it and looked at it, I saw that the person in the painting had ink hair and snow skin, with clear eyebrows, and it was no different from the scrolls he found in the scripture library in the past——

This person is not Su Xun, but who is it?

Su Xun couldn't help being stunned the moment he saw the picture, and then his eyes fell to the bottom of the scroll, and saw that the clothes of the person in the portrait slipped slightly along the left shoulder, and on the snow-like skin on the shoulder, a blazing red lotus was shining brightly.

This person is...

A deadly sense of familiarity and a sense of crisis suddenly hit like a tide, accompanied by the howling wind that suddenly broke out not far away.

Su Xun's pupils shrank, and he quickly tightened his grip on Duan Yunyang's waist, lying down on the ground, and then rolled away to one side:

"careful!"

It was too late, but it was so fast, at the moment they rolled and fled, dozens of arrows with cold light pierced through the door and shot in, all of them fell on the soft couch and its vicinity.

If Su Xun hadn't reacted in time, the two of them would have been shot into a sieve.

The dazzling firelight diffused in from the hole in the wooden door, followed by the sound of people.Su Xun and Duan Yunyang looked at each other with stern expressions, and they all realized that their whereabouts had been exposed.

I don't know if there are other ambushes in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, if you stay in the room and get surrounded, it is tantamount to seeking your own death, why not try to break out, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Listen carefully, the sound of footsteps mainly came from the main entrance, while the windows on both sides were relatively quiet. The two of them took light steps, sneaked under the window under the shadow, fought hard before the guards poured in, and jumped out of the window by the wall .

The soldiers guarding outside the window obviously did not expect the sudden appearance of the two, and before they could give a warning, they were stunned by Duan Yunyang's chains.

"Currently the guards are coming from the southeast, and the Cixi Palace in the northwest is the residence of the concubines. It is inconvenient for the guards to enter without permission. We might as well rush to avoid the limelight."

Su Xun nodded when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "According to the original plan, we should leave the palace from the west corner gate tomorrow. Although it is a day earlier than the expected time, some of the manpower should be in place. The Cixi Palace is passing by. On the way, let's go there to hide temporarily, and then find a way to contact Zhiheng and the others."
