The target of the assassination is the fox

A few days later, when I returned to Shuntian City, I could no longer step into the palace.

The change happened very suddenly, I didn't hear the slightest news when I entered the city, only now I saw officers and soldiers guarding around the palace from a distance, not allowing anyone to approach.And those officers and soldiers were all wearing silver armor, and the leading general also wore a unicorn cloak and cast bronze sparrow shoulder armor... It looks like the forbidden army? !

How could there be forbidden troops?My heart jumped, and many bad premonitions came out immediately.I stopped and watched from a distance for a while. During this period, I saw Zhang Ma carrying a vegetable basket and wanted to come out, but was stopped by the guards.The situation is not optimistic.

I hurriedly stopped an old man passing by to inquire. He looked left and right to see if there was no one else, and then he stroked his gray beard and sighed: "Oh, just yesterday, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the north of the city, covering the huge King Jin's mansion. The originally sunny sky was covered, and then a silver-armored army marched into the city, and they were all heroic..."

I couldn't help urging: "Old man, can you say something important."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, girl, just listen to me carefully... Hey, where did I just say? Oh, there are suddenly dark clouds in the north of the city..."

Is this going to start all over again!I'm dying of anxiety!

"No, you just talked about the princess!"

"Oh is that so?" He froze for a moment, then shook his head and sighed again: "Jin'an County Master has a strange disease, and I heard that he has been in a coma for several times, and now he can't eat, and he is under house arrest in the palace, alas, I'm really jealous of beauty. I don't know what happened to Prince Jin's residence..."

Can't eat anymore... Although I don't know how much truth there is in these words, but when I think that the princess is suffering from pain and looks haggard at this time, and maybe his life will be dying in the next moment, my whole heart tightens.

Why should I leave at this time!If you stay with the princess, you can get the antidote to her earlier, and maybe you can stop the poison of Qimian powder in her...

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" While anxious and annoyed, a woman who was shopping for vegetables happened to hear the old man's words, leaned over and said in a low voice, "These people must be sent by the current emperor to protect the Jin Palace."

She got closer, and continued: "I heard that someone wanted to do this to the prince and the princess. The princess was taken into the palace to recuperate because of her serious illness."

"What?" The princess has already entered the palace? !

"Impossible, the princess is obviously still sick in the mansion." The old man waved his hands in disbelief.

"Oh, the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family saw that the carriage took people away the day before yesterday. They must have gone to the palace to recuperate. And if it is true that the princess is still locked up in the mansion as you said, Wang Xiucai and his gang would have held the The sign is gone."

Wang Xiucai, holding a sign?It can't be the fanatical organization that loves the princess, can it?

The old man was unconvinced: "Hey, whoever said not to make a fuss, they were all blown away, and a few were arrested. You don't live near here, so where can you see it?"

"I don't live near here, but I know this better than you..."

They argued endlessly with each other, but I didn't want to listen anymore.Those imperial guards really didn't seem to be here to protect the palace, but more like they were under house arrest.And the princess is poisoned, and all the people who are in charge of the palace here are under control. In this situation, it is clear that she was caught in a conspiracy and was assassinated by someone, and the other party's background is not small.

What about senior brother, did he also participate in it?The more I think about it, the more distraught I become.

Now the only way to figure out what happened is to find a way to sneak into the palace.But before that, you must first get the antidote to save the princess.

So I didn't delay, and immediately rushed to Wulixiang with my lightness kung fu.

In the past few days, the people in Shuntian City have put on red couplets in front of their gates, and hung red lanterns under the trees. There are many stalls for new year's goods on both sides of the street, and they are all happy when viewed from afar.But the festivities of the New Year's Eve were interrupted in the area of ​​Wuli Lane.

There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Wuli Alley, and most of the people who live there are vagrants.They usually don't see the end of the dragon, and at first glance, it seems that there is no one living in the alley, and there is no trace of fireworks.The cold wind whimpered into those empty courtyards, and occasionally a few guard dogs howled two or three times with the wind, making this place even more eerie and weird.

There is a couplet posted in front of the senior brother's door, which is particularly conspicuous in the grayness, but the elegant handwriting does not seem to be his handwriting.I smelled the aroma of the food, so I jumped over the wall and snatched the wine cup that my senior brother brought to my mouth.

"Why, didn't you go back to Aotianmen?" He didn't care at all, as if he expected that I would come.Glancing at me, I took the chopsticks to pick up the peanuts again.Because there are big trees all around, there is no cold wind raging in this yard, but the cold air can still freeze one's fingers.

I rubbed my palms and sat down, and said casually, "Brother, I need the antidote for Qimian San."

He paused, then poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it towards me.The rising white smoke diffused in the air, blurring his expression.

After a while, he said: "I can give you other things, but not this one."

"why?"

"I said, let you stay away from that woman." The brother's tone suddenly became severe, and he slammed the chopsticks on the table in his hand: "You have already left, why come back to meddle now!"

I felt cold when I heard it, "Brother, is it really your fault?"

His complexion also turned cold: "So what if I did it? Are you talking to me like this for that woman?"

"Is your enemy the princess?"

"You don't have to know."

"But I don't want her to die!" I couldn't maintain my indifference, so I grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Brother, give me the antidote."

The senior brother stared over suddenly, as if he was aroused by my words.Throwing away my hand, his complexion became extremely ugly: "Even if we sever the relationship, is it worth it?"

"Brother!" I exclaimed.

"Do you like her?" He interrupted me suddenly, his eyes were fierce and complicated: "Tell me, do you like Chu Qingning!"

Like princess?There was a buzz in my mind, and I stared blankly at his sullen face.After a long while, she avoided her sight in panic, and her ears were hot: "I... I don't know. But I can't just watch her die. I have to save her."

"Hmph!" After hearing this, the senior brother shook his sleeves and stood up, and said very coldly: "What if I don't give it?"

"Senior brother..." I also stood up and looked at him fixedly, tightening my hands a little bit.

Sure enough, I still won't agree... But now, I have no choice.

"Brother, I remember that in the past, whenever we disagreed in a situation, we would use martial arts to decide who to listen to in the end." I endured the sourness in my heart, and forced back the heat in my eyes, "At that time, you often Let me protect me, you can do your best today, don't be merciful."

"You!" He trembled and looked at me in disbelief.Then he smiled angrily, his expression was full of disappointment: "Oh, good, good! I didn't expect that you and my brother and sister would turn against each other because of a woman!"

"Brother..." My eyes were sore.

"Stop talking nonsense!" He roared angrily, walked to the shelf a few steps and threw a long sword over to me, then picked up one himself, rolled up the sword tactics, and put his domineering moves under his hood: "I want to see Let's see if you have improved over the years!"

When there was a clang, the weapon blocked one place, which made my mouth hurt.The senior brother was obviously very angry, he made every move and every move ruthlessly, he pressed me every step of the way, and soon forced me to the corner of the courtyard.

I swayed a few swords, slanted to the wall to dodge, leaped up with the help of the tree trunk, dodged the horizontal sword of my senior brother and fell behind him, but the hair on the side of my neck was cut off by the sharp sword energy. thread.Immediately afterwards, he picked up the low stool at the side, turned around and kicked it in the air, and the stool flew towards him with the force of the wind.

I returned the sword to catch it, the tip of the sword lifted the stool and spun around to release the force, then turned my wrist and sank down, firmly pressing it on the table between the two with a snap.At the same time, I pointed at the stool and flew up, exerting all my strength on the blade of the sword to slap the second stool that flew towards me.With a bang, the four stool legs slammed into the table forcibly, piercing and cracking several long seams, and even the teapots and saucers were shattered.

"Okay!" The senior brother shouted coldly, the cold light in his eyes became even brighter, he swung his long sword away with a buzzing whistle, and blocked my slashing sword in the air.

I swooped down to attack the lower part of the body, then raised my body and picked up the sword, bullied my brother to the side, and stabbed the big acupuncture points all over my body.Seeing that the situation was not good, the senior brother swung his wrists and swiped, the two swords collided and brushed past, peeling off a line of stars.I tapped my toes lightly, and stepped forward, following my steps.

The sword wins fast, and only fast can grasp the opportunity in an instant, and then attack it later, and attack it first.In terms of strength and imposing manner, I am not as good as my senior brother, but he may not be as flexible and quick as me in close combat with light work and footwork!

Suddenly there was a wind blowing in the courtyard, the clothes were flying, and the sword light flickered.

Within half a stick of incense, I have gone through all the moves with my brother.Senior brother puts the sword into the sword, and the sword style is more open and closed than before, but it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in the details, and it is impossible to take care of everything.At the moment when he blocked with the horizontal sword again, I slapped the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword suddenly wiped my throat.

He didn't prevent me from making such a move, so he took two quick steps back and threw it away.Immediately afterwards, he swung the sword and finally used the swirling sword style.Almost at the same time, I also grabbed back the hilt and threw it out.

The exact same movements, I have practiced with him countless times back then.This swirling sword move aims to swirl the sword out to cut off the back of the opponent's neck, and then swivels back to the left hand, killing people with lightning and flint without leaving a moment's hesitation.

Brother didn't expect that I would use this move that I couldn't learn at all, I dodged the swirling sword with a short body, and I quickly stepped forward to strike the front with my palm.He lost his move and dodged back, I also became ruthless, put down my sword and pressed forward, and stopped his sword before it swung back into his hand.

At this time, to stop the sword, the only way to hold it is to take the sword body.Blood gushed out, and the senior brother was also stunned.Regardless of the pain of my flesh being torn apart, I immediately twisted the blade across the side of my brother's neck.And the sword I threw before also whirled behind me, sank into the tree trunk with a sneer, and trembled without stopping.

Victory and defeat.

Senior Brother took a deep look at me, "Heh, I remember that you couldn't practice this move before." After a pause, he said again: "You are really much more patient than before."

This sentence is still angry, but it is much less harsh, and it sounds a bit gratifying and emotional.

"After you left, I practiced hard for a long time." Panting, I threw away the sword.Although the fight was short, it was almost exhausting.The acupuncture point stopped the blood on the palm, but the blackened color and the severe pain that spread showed that he was poisoned.

"Apply the antidote quickly." Seeing me frowning patiently, he couldn't help but relax, and handed me a pack of medicine powder.

I shook my head: "Senior brother, what I want is the princess's antidote."

"You! Look at yourself now!" His face that had just softened immediately became cold again, and he scolded me with hatred: "You gave up your life because of her?! Are you worthy of Master?"

I gritted my teeth and didn't speak. I just looked at him so stubbornly, but my feet were a little vain and I couldn't stand firmly.I don't know what kind of poison was smeared on this sword. It hurts so much. If I didn't endure it desperately, I should be crying right now!

"Hey! Promising!" After a long time, the brother finally compromised first, turned around and went into the room to bring a small bottle and gauze, and threw it into my arms together with the packet of medicine powder just now, and said angrily: "Take it! Don't come to me again!" After speaking, she turned her back and didn't look at me again.

My eye sockets became sore all of a sudden, I sniffed, and said: "Brother, in fact, your enemy is not the princess."

Now that I got the antidote and breathed a sigh of relief, I was even more sure that the Princess is not the enemy who killed Sister Li'er as the senior brother said, and "don't come to me again" or something is just anger It's just words.

Senior brother is very similar to master in this respect, he has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart haha.

I quickly unwrapped the gauze and applied medicine to bandage it.Seeing that he refused to talk to me, he said with a shy smile: "After a few days, after finishing the work, the junior sister will come to compensate the senior brother for a good table of wine and food."

"Hmph, don't get cheap and act good! Get lost, go find your little lover!" He flicked his sleeves and entered the room.

I stuck out my tongue.It seems that there is indeed some rift between the senior brother and the princess, otherwise he would not be so angry at the fact that I like the princess... No, I, how do I like the princess!

As soon as my face became hot, after I bandaged it, I immediately used my lightness kung fu to rush back to the palace, and then walked into that secluded alley.

I wanted to sneak in from near the wall at the back of the palace, but someone was guarding even there, and I was almost discovered by them.It seems more difficult than imagined.I had to go around and avoid the guards wandering around.It stands to reason that even if the people in the palace were under house arrest, those hidden guards would not all be caught.

Sure enough, after I circled around, someone finally took the initiative to find me.It was Chu Ling, the female head of the dark guard with first-class lightness skills.

"The princess ordered me to wait for you here." She said straight to the point.

The author has something to say:

Chu Ling: (*￣△￣*) Master Hua, I have been waiting for you for more than seven days.

Fei Hua: Oh, it shouldn't be too late, take me to see the princess.

Chu Ling: (*￣△￣*) Master Hua, have you ever eaten other people's tofu during the time you left the palace?

Feihua: Huh?I have eaten the tofu made by Miss Chunhua, is there any problem?

Chu Ling: (*￣△￣*) The princess said that if you don’t come back for more than three days and eat other women’s tofu, you don’t need to see her, and you can just apologize with death.

Feihua: ∑ (っ°Д°;) っwhat! !How could this be!I haven't given the princess the antidote yet!

Chu Ling: (Shen Sen draws the sword) Apologize with death!

Feihua: ∑(っ>Д<;) っNo no, I haven't finished cooking those special dishes for the princess yet!

Chu Ling: (Sensibly raises the sword) Apologize with death!

Feihua: ∑ (っ≧*≦;) っ no no no!Me, I, I haven't confessed to the princess that I like her! !

Chu Ling: ... (☆▽☆) Congratulations! !You have cleared the level~~(づ￣▽￣)づ Hurry up and wash it up, let me go to see the princess! !
