It was night, the entire imperial city was brightly lit, and the night guards were patrolling and changing shifts as usual. This night seemed very peaceful.The palace people worked and rested on time after a tiring day, but the people in Luanfeng Palace were in a panic. The atmosphere of this day was really weird, how could people not be worried?

Wushi didn't eat a single meal a day, but he didn't feel hungry. In the afternoon, he went to the Buddhist Hall of Nanwu Temple to pray for the little princess's safety. He stayed in the inner hall to tidy up at night, thinking about when the little princess would come back, maybe tomorrow, Or the day after tomorrow?Ever since the little princess was born, I have never left her side for such a long time. I don't know how it is now, are the people around me serving you well?She hoped that the assassin would be caught as soon as possible, so she would be relieved.

Wushi combed the bed again, the quilt was neatly folded, and the cushion was smoothed without any wrinkles. When he was tidying up the pillow, he found a bracelet under the pillow, which was the personal item of the little princess—a glazed crystal bracelet. , was personally selected by the empress dowager and given to the little princess. The little princess loves it so much that she doesn't want to let it go!

It must have been taken off while sleeping, and he forgot to put it on in a hurry in the morning. Wushi put the bracelet on the dressing table, hoping that the little princess could see it when she came back.

Suddenly, some small voices came, and Wushi turned his head to poke around. It turned out that a moth flew to the lampshade of the stand, once or twice... until it couldn't bear the scorching temperature, and fell down under the lamp holder!

Wushi frowned, thinking that this was not a good omen, something seemed to be happening.

At this time, a court lady came in and said respectfully to Wushi: "Mama, Eunuch Liu calls you out for business." Eunuch Liu is the deacon and eunuch of the East Sixth Palace, so Luanfeng Palace naturally belongs to him.

Wu Zhi didn't think about it any more, and left after saying yes.

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the dark clouds close the moon.

Three vigorous and agile figures flitted across the top of the capital. They easily leaped over the high wall of the imperial city with their excellent light kung fu, avoiding layers of heavily guarded imperial guards with lightning speed, and finally stopped on the glazed tiles of a palace.

One of them was slender and slender, with long hair in a bun, and a black veil covering his face. In his sharp and cold eyes, there was an undisguised killing intent, and there was a cruel playfulness.With a bright moon scimitar in his hand, he raised his slender crescent eyebrows and made a gesture.

The men in black on the left and right jumped down and disappeared under the dark curtain.

The girl in black looked down at this gorgeous palace, and smiled coldly, the corners of her mouth hidden under the black veil slightly raised.With a kick on his toes, he descended in the cool breeze, his figure flickered, and entered the hall.

The huge palace is not empty, it is magnificent, and the carved beams and painted buildings are not enough to describe its luxury. The three priceless luminous pearls are illuminated, and the golden yellow tone reflects the warm light in all directions. Countless rare treasures are piled up to create ingenious decorations. , which complement each other brilliantly.The eight pillars supporting the eaves are carved with flying dragons and phoenixes, which are concave and convex and really meticulous.The walls are all bricks and stones, engraved in the shape of dragons, phoenixes and flying clouds.

Entering in a detour, avoiding the night guard ladies, lurking along the wall, three bends and five paths, and dozens of steps, the purpose of entering is eight landscape painting screens, which represent the four seasons and the beginning and end respectively.

Behind the screen is elegant and simple, mainly white, the gauze curtain on the bed is rippling with the wind, accompanied by a touch of sandalwood fragrance, the copper mirror is placed on the delicate dressing table, there is no girl's rouge and gouache on the table, only two books , There are pens and inkstones on the case under the window, and there are books full of books on the bookshelf.

So elegant and fresh, with a landscape painting style, without the foil of the imperial dragon and phoenix, who would have thought that this is the bedroom of the most beloved Princess Hanyue today?The girl in black's eyes darkened coldly, she put away her breath and moved to the bedside.

The person on the bed was already sound asleep, nostalgic for the quilt, with a head of hair scattered beside the pillow, so peaceful.

Killing intent flashed in the eyes of the girl in black, and the scimitar in her hand was decisively unsheathed, the blade flashed, and the blade slashed downwards.

At this time, the person under the quilt jumped up, hooked his toes, and kicked towards the handle of the knife.Unexpectedly, the woman in black changed her move halfway, made a detour, retracted the knife and turned around, leaned forward and struck out with her left palm, hitting her right shoulder, the impact force was so great that she fell backwards to the wall, and died immediately, she was obviously thin and thin , a man dressed as a woman.

At this moment, several figures flashed on the crossbeam under the bed, all guards with knives, the leader said angrily: "Bold assassin, you are already surrounded, and you will be captured quickly."

The girl in black wore a murderous air, swept her beautiful eyes, and said coldly with disdain: "It's up to you? Hmph, overestimate your own strength!"

The muscles at the corners of the leader's mouth twitched slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "You are so arrogant, then die." With a loud shout, he stabbed her with his finger sword like a gust of wind, and all the guards made moves one after another.

The eyebrows of the girl in black were full of contempt, and she was as immobile as a mountain, and she would catch every move.Smart skills, unpredictable moves, parrying freely, as if trying to figure out the opponent's martial arts.Seeing Duan Xiao's tricks, he sneered and said: "However, Xiaojia's fists and kicks are hard to be elegant, and that old boy Xixi dares to recruit him. Could it be for his own funeral, haha?" Rotating the scimitar, secretly injected internal force and let it out.

The scimitar was moving like thunder and lightning, and the leader who bore the brunt was shocked and wanted to swing his sword away. With a sound of "clang", the long sword broke into two pieces, and the scimitar went away with the momentum. Then the black shadow flickered and raised his hand There were screams as the knife fell, it turned out that she didn't take people's lives, but took their eyes.

All of them were covered in blood at the moment, and the swords that were too late to stop were swiping wildly, panicked in their hearts, and under the confusion, they regarded their companions as the black shadow like a ghost, and died instantly.

"Hahaha...stupid!" the girl in black laughed with joy.

What a vicious method, she can win with one move in martial arts, but she teaches people to kill each other, and she takes pleasure in it!

The leader couldn't help being speechless at first when he saw her swift movements, but when he saw how vicious her attacks were, all his brothers in the past had died tragically by his own sword, he was startled and angry in his heart, regardless of whether it was her opponent or not, he let out a roar, and dropped half of the sword, Turning palms into fists, he rushed forward and hit his face with both fists, showing his majestic style.

The girl in black could tell at a glance that this was a tiger-shaped fist of the Nanquan school, which was powerful and swift.While evading, he hung the scimitar upside down to break the fist hook, and turned his wrist to pick his left and right tendons.

"Ah~" the leader cried out in pain, the wound was even hotter and unbearable, he was afraid that some kind of venom had been mixed in, his hands were all useless, even if he wanted to tap acupuncture points, he couldn't help it, so he took seven or eight steps back for a moment, not daring to move forward.

The girl in black didn't continue to move, "Say, where did your dog emperor hide him?"

The leader clenched his teeth, and with his facial features distorted by the pain, he squeezed out a few words: "If you want to kill or cut...you can do whatever you want!"

"Really? So hard-spoken!" Mingming's tone was so light and so leisurely, but hearing it made people's hearts tremble.When he raised his hand, two dart-shaped hidden weapons were inserted into the leader's knees, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

"Ah~! You...you..." He was too painful to say a word.He is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is ready to sacrifice at any time when he is a servant in the palace. How could he not even die happily.

"Hehe" smiled arrogantly, and said: "Don't worry, I just applied 'Hua Gong San' on the edge of my knife, which can't kill you. But there is 'Corpse Water' on my hidden weapon, which can turn the body into a body." Even if your parents come to collect the corpse, they won’t be able to recognize it, haha.”

The leader's heart turned cold, and he couldn't exert any internal strength. It was really a sign of transformation, blood "hissed" from his knees, and his whole body trembled thinking of the consequences.This woman is not human, she is a murderous devil!

"Please...please give me a...happy time!" Even a man had to beg for mercy under the double torture of body and mind!

"Hmph. Where is Princess Hanyue?"

"I... I really... don't know!" The cold sweat flowed like water, the consciousness was blurred by the heart-wrenching pain, the knees had turned into blood, and the exposed white bones were also eroding.

"I believe what you said is true, but... you still have to die!" the girl in black said coldly.

The leader knew that she was playing him with all her heart, and the despair in her heart magnified infinitely. The flesh and blood under her body seemed to be bitten by thousands of ants, and it reached her thigh in an instant.

The girl in black looked around the room, her eyes locked on the dressing table, and a few steps away, there was a string of glass crystal bracelets on the table, not to mention the rare amber color, the craftsmanship was very delicate and unique.Picked up, the texture is slightly cool, it seems that it has been taken off from the owner for a long time.Looking closely, each bead is carved with a vivid phoenix, and three of them are engraved with the words "Phoenix Wuyang".

At this time, there was a sound of fighting outside, the sharp gaze tilted, and the figure flashed, causing the gauze curtain to flutter slightly, leaving behind corpses and liquidized blood in the empty room.

The guards of the palace, two men in black, one on the left and one on the right, inspected the situation outside, and they were all painted.Outside the hall, twenty or thirty court ladies and eunuchs crowded in front of the closed palace gate, shouting loudly for the people outside to open the door, and there were layers of archers guarding the walls and eaves of the palace.

It seems that Emperor Xixi wanted to close the Luanfeng Palace, and would rather kill the wrong than let it go!

The girl in black looked at this scene and said, "This old fox is trying to capture us alive."

When the man in black saw her coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Master, we are surrounded."

The girl in black gave a "hmm" and glanced out the window a few times, her beautiful eyes turned around in this palace, thinking: "This palace is impenetrable, not to mention difficult to break into it, even if it can be put on the roof tiles, there must be an ambush there!" A large number of masters, it may not be easy to get away..." After taking a few steps and turning his mind a few times, those extremely intimidating and majestic Danfeng eyes narrowed, took a deep breath, and said fiercely: "Emperor Xixi, this time Just treat it as a meeting gift for you as an old man, I will definitely come back in the future, and I will give you another big gift when the time comes."

Outside the gate of the Luanfeng Palace, Teng An, the commander of the Royal Forest Army in the imperial city, ordered five hundred guards to guard the palace strictly, and set up a net to prevent them from escaping from the imperial city!

The task assigned to him by the emperor: to capture alive the assassin who sneaked into Luanfeng Palace at all costs.He had to be more careful and deploy it carefully for such a person who worried Long Live.

Teng An shouted loudly: "The left center guard listens to the order, don't let anyone in the Luanfeng Palace go, and catch the assassin. The emperor will give you a lot of rewards for catching the assassin alive."

As soon as these words were uttered, all the Yulin soldiers were shocked and very excited.

However, the palace servants and eunuchs in Luanfeng Palace were terrified and knocked on the palace gate desperately, shouting: "Please open the door, my lord, the little ones are just slaves in the palace, not assassins..." There are also some who report their names at the palace gate. The people outside found out and checked their identities to let him pass.

But no matter how much they begged, the outsiders remained indifferent, not because they were ruthless, but because the military orders were like mountains!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" An old eunuch rushed into the imperial study in a panic and knelt on the ground.

Emperor Xixi glanced at him, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Why are you panicking?"

"My Majesty, Luan... Luanfeng Palace is on fire!"

"What?" Emperor Xixi groaned in a deep voice, his eyebrows twitched into a straight line, and he didn't speak any more, looking thoughtful.

"Teng An, the commander of the imperial forest army, begs to see him." The guards' loud voice came from outside the door.

Emperor Xixi said coldly: "Tell him to get out!"

Teng An came in with his head bowed, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Long live, long live, long live, long live, if Teng An is not kowtowed to the emperor!"

"What's the situation in Luanfeng Palace, has the assassin caught it?" He asked repeatedly, not angry but mighty.

Teng An knelt on the ground, his breathing was disordered, and said: "Go back to the emperor, the assassin burned the Luanfeng Palace, and fled while taking advantage of the smoke. If he is not responsible, he deserves death!"

Emperor Xixi narrowed his eyes coldly, and said: "Escaped? Then what are you doing here? Why don't you hurry and catch the assassin, are you waiting for me to chop off your head?"

"Yes, the general will not be ordered!" Teng An bowed and quickly exited the door.

The old eunuch gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, there is a great chaos in Luanfeng Palace and Princess Hanyue is missing. I beg Your Majesty to send troops to find the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness!"

This old eunuch was the chief eunuch who was close to the late emperor. After the death of the late emperor, he was assigned as the deacon eunuch of the East Sixth Palace to take care of the affairs of the harem.Because of the late emperor's kindness to him, he guarded the mausoleum for three years, and was extremely concerned about the late emperor's widow, Princess Hanyue.

Emperor Xixi sternly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have already entrusted Princess Hanyue to the care of Concubine Ji, and she is not in Luanfeng Palace. Why did she disappear? Do you know that spreading rumors in the palace is a capital offense?"

The old eunuch was stunned, he had seen Princess Hanyue in Luanfeng Palace this morning, why did he go to the Palace of History now?Besides, Princess Hanyue's residence has been managed by him, why doesn't he know about it?

"Slave dare not!"

Emperor Xixi glanced at him and said: "Since you have served the two generations of royal monarchs for more than ten years, you have worked hard without credit. I allow you to retire and return to your hometown to enjoy your old age. Retire."

The old eunuch's heart turned cold, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Lord Ron!" Then he bowed and retreated slowly.

He entered the palace at the age of five, and lived conscientiously and cautiously in this deep palace for most of his life. He regarded the palace as his final destination, and he had no relatives outside the palace.He has served the emperors of two dynasties, and he knows too many secrets. Now that Emperor Xixi released him from the palace, can he really get away?

Such was his fate, he accepted it, and the only thing he cared about was Princess Hanyue who failed to serve the late emperor well!

That night, the four major city gates of Kyoto sealed off the garrison guards, making it impossible to enter or exit. The imperial city dispatched the imperial forest army and guards to conduct a carpet-style search.
