Hard to be a shadow guard

The sky was still gloomy, and the locked palace gate did not allow Xie Yi to sneak in.

He stood in front of the palace with a shadow guard, the expression on his face became more and more ugly.

After a while, Xie Yiqian finally couldn't bear the irritability in his heart, so he had to confess: "You all stay in front of the palace gate, but if you see Xuanying coming out, stop him immediately, if you let Xuanying go... This king will show you the consequences of letting go."

"As for the king looking for him in the palace, don't act rashly if you don't receive the signal." His sharp gaze swept across Tianren's face, and instantly stopped Tianren's dissuasion from coming to his mouth.

After saying this, Xie Yiqian finally stopped hesitating and circled around the tall palace wall a few times, but at a position where a tree was connected, he dodged and jumped onto the branch, and then turned around and disappeared behind the palace wall.

Only Tianren and the others were left with sorrowful eyes, no matter how much they did not support or suggest, they were not qualified to stop him.

And when Xie Yiqian entered the palace, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace.

I saw that the patrolling Habayashi guards became more vigilant and cautious, and as Xie Yiqian popped a small stone, those people rushed to the place where the stone fell like a swarm.

A little disturbance can attract their attention.

Seeing this situation, Xie Yiqian had a bad guess in his heart.

However, he didn't have much time to verify the authenticity of his conjecture. He could only watch the patrolling guards leave and dodge into another little-known path.

......

At the same time, in the emperor's bedroom in the very center of the palace, a pot of porridge was in chaos around the entire palace.

From eunuchs crying at funerals, generals pacing left and right, and even imperial doctors sweating profusely.

The only one who stayed out of the panic was probably the emperor on the bed who exhaled more and breathed less.

After Xuanying poured down a bowl of poisonous soup, the emperor's complexion turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the little bit of rosyness that was still there had completely disappeared.

The emperor suddenly coughed twice, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell back on the bed again.

At the next moment, those hopeful palace people saw that their majesty suddenly became grim, and unconsciously raised his hand to grab his neck, as if something was strangling the throat of fate.

The emperor's abnormality scared the imperial doctor present and knelt down quickly.

But just after the two imperial doctors gave the emperor a pillow, the two of them turned pale with fright, fell to their knees with a plop, trembling for a long time, unable to speak a word.

Seeing this, the people present immediately understood what was going on.

After the servants beside the emperor knelt down crying, several Habayashi soldiers rushed in and immediately escorted several imperial doctors who were seeing the doctor, and none of the four medicine boys, including Xuanying, escaped.

Xuanying pretended to be panic-stricken, and let those Habayashi soldiers roughly push him down to the ground. As for the crying "it's nothing to do with me" of several imperial doctors...

The emperor was seriously ill, how could he escape the responsibility as the imperial doctor who saw the doctor.

Although a large part of the reason for the current situation lies in Xuanying.

But Xuanying has what he wants, not to mention being a shadow for more than ten years, and his bloody hands don't mind taking a few more innocent lives.

Xuan Ying lowered her eyes, staring at the ground without saying a word.

He was waiting for the right moment, a chance for him to break out.

As for leaving without disturbing anyone, Xuan Ying did not hold any hope.

He didn't have time to wait for the next day, and at this time, the depths of the churning dantian were sending Xuanying a signal of danger.

In this way, if Xuan Ying still wanted to gain a chance, he had to rush out tonight, taking advantage of the Habayashi Army's inattention, and of course escaped from those people in the dark outside the hall.

It is simple to say, but if it is really done, it is really difficult.

Just when all the people gathered around the emperor's bed, the whole bedroom was full of crying and shouting, and the air circulation was blocked because of the crowd, Xuanying finally waited for someone who was distracted by everyone. chance to leave.

His suppressed shoulder was lifted up suddenly, and he slammed hard into the face of Habayashi Jun behind him.

"Aw!" The other party was caught off guard by an elbow, and immediately howled.

Just when others heard the sound and watched, Xuan Ying had already broken free from the opponent's restraint, and rolled to the side on the spot, avoiding the range of the armed soldiers present.

With one move to escape, Xuanying didn't hesitate any longer, he jumped up and rushed out of the hall with a step forward.

"This..." Many people were taken aback by this sudden accident.

On the contrary, it was a previous imperial doctor who looked at Xuanying's back and was suddenly enlightened: "It's him, it's him, he assassinated His Majesty, he pretended to be the minister's medicine boy, catch him!"

The innocent imperial doctor who was implicated seemed to grasp at the straw, shouted recklessly, and kept struggling, his face turned crazy for a moment.

His words finally woke up the others, and the leader of the Habayashi Army, who had just come in, quickly came to his senses and hurriedly greeted: "Chasing, chasing!"

There was a burst of chaos, and the surroundings of the emperor's bedroom became even more chaotic.

Everything was exactly as Xuan Ying expected, he just broke out of the dormitory when he was confronted by a few men in black who came out.

Although Xuanying was still rushing forward forcefully, he still panicked when he saw the momentum of the people blocking him.

After turning his thoughts several times, the person on the opposite side was getting closer and closer to Xuanying, and he could also hear many guards of the Habayashi Army coming behind him.

He has no way out.

Xuanying's eyes were tightly closed, but the moment she opened her eyes, there was a dark flash of sharpness.

He turned all the internal energy around his body, and the crazily moving internal energy kept impacting his already damaged meridians, but even the unbearable severe pain could not stop Xuanying's momentum of head-on collision.

"Bang—" Four fists faced each other, and blood gushed out from both mouths at the same time.

Accompanied by the enemy's retreat and falling to the ground, Xuanying staggered even more, swaying a few times and half kneeling on the ground.

It's just that Xuanying didn't have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief at all. The first person in front fell down, and there were five or six other people, but Xuanying, after punching No. 1, suddenly reached the point of a strong bow.

Xuan Ying raised her trembling arm and wiped the blood from her mouth, looked up at the person who continued to rush over, and suddenly grinned.

"Hehehe.....hehehe..." Hoarse laughter overflowed from his mouth, with a sense of strangeness.

The few people who rushed over didn't understand what Xuanying was doing, but when they were about to touch Xuanying, the Habayashi Army who only heard them chasing behind finally arrived.

Xuan Ying watched helplessly as someone slapped him on the shoulder, and he was sent flying along with the force of the palm.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Xuanying's throat itched, and he coughed violently, but his body still flew out.

A group of Habayashi soldiers rushed over to help him block the sight of several masters. Xuanying used the last trace of internal strength in his body to move himself a certain distance, and finally rolled behind a rockery.

There was only a soft "click", and the few people who rushed over watched Xuanying disappear under the ground that suddenly cracked, and the crack that closed instantly prevented them from following.

"Bang!" The visitor was furious, and he slapped the rockery with his palm, and the rockery split apart in an instant.

Even so, they failed to reopen the cracks in the ground.

"Check, bring him back!" With an order, several people with high martial arts skills rushed in all directions.

Only the Habayashi soldiers who had witnessed everything were left looking at each other for a moment, and then they began to say something——

"Walk, walk, turn the palace upside down and vow to catch the assassin!"

......

Xuanying rolled in the tunnel for a long time, and came out of the long and narrow passage with a "boom", and as the morning glow from the sky revealed a little light, he also saw the sun again.

The sound of pursuers lingering around the withered gazebo finally ceased, and the breath that Xuanying was still holding on to dissipated immediately.

He knelt down all of a sudden, gasping for breath, but the cool air pouring into the lung ducts still couldn't offset the hotness in his heart.

However, when Xuanying gently closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up - after tossing and tossing for so long, he finally finished everything.

"It's okay, it's okay... I'm leaving, you can do it, Xuanying, you can do it, just persevere a little longer..." He comforted himself almost hypnotically, but said As he spoke, his breathless voice was choked with sobs.

It was so difficult, Xuanying even felt that the most difficult period of his life was in this month.

However, before Xuanying could breathe a sigh of relief: "Where do you want to run to?" A gloomy voice sounded from behind, and the breath he hadn't let go instantly came back into his throat.

This made the voice that Xuanying had listened to for many years suddenly appear, and it still appeared at this time and place, Xuanying still thought that she was having a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

But at this moment, the familiar voice behind him made him dare not even turn his head.

And as the footsteps behind him got closer, Xuanying's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

A big mouthful of blood overflowed from his mouth, and a strong smell of blood filled Xuanying's nose and mouth, but no matter how intense the pain inside his body was, at this moment it was not as serious as the fear brought to him by the people behind him.

Xie Yiqian went around to directly in front of Xuanying.

He looked down at the person who was kneeling on the ground due to serious injuries and exhaustion, even though he saw Xuanying's body covered in blood, he couldn't feel any pity for him.

He only remembered that it was this person who had vowed not long ago that he "did not dare to leave", but it had only been so long, and he had already done countless tricks behind his back, and now he was going to defect from the house.

The more Xie Yiqian thought about it, the more cruel he felt, he squatted down halfway, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xuanying's chin.

He didn't care about the blood stains that soon flowed from his hands, he just looked at Xuanying who was in a state of embarrassment.

Then Xie Yi, hiding in Xuan Ying's eyes full of horror and fear, asked again: "Say, where do you want to go?"
