Ruyi Jue

After Shen Yufeng left, Yun Lian indeed walked back to the other courtyard very obediently.

However, after a short while, he unexpectedly returned to the original place.

Compared with the way he behaved in front of Shen Yufeng just now, now with a faint smile on his lips, he walked to the back door of the palace calmly and swaggered back into the palace.

The servant guarding the back door was knocked unconscious by Shen Yufeng not long ago, and now he entered the palace through the back door in a grand manner, as if he had entered a land without people.

As soon as he entered the palace, he didn't go straight to the place where the princess was. Instead, he wandered around the palace leisurely for a few moments, as if he was strolling in a courtyard, with a calm expression on his face.

When I got to some unremarkable woodsheds in the backyard, I heard a few sparse rumbling sounds, like the hoarse and desolate low coughing of an old man in his dying years. When I listened carefully, I knew that someone was sharpening a knife.

Yun Lian thought to himself, finally found the place he was looking for.

He followed the sound of sharpening the knife, and after a short walk, he came to the door of a woodshed.

The door of the firewood room was wide open, and the firewood burning on the stove in the room was still burning misty hot water. A silent figure turned his back to the door, his hands covered by his body moved back and forth, and he was grinding his head down. Take a hatchet.The hoarse and sharp sound of sharpening the knife came from here.

Yun Lian glanced around, walked with his hands behind his back, and slowly crossed the threshold.

The man seemed to hear his footsteps, his body froze instantly, and even the movement of sharpening the knife stopped.

Yun Lian looked around at the woodshed full of sundries, and seemed to say intentionally, "This place is really hard to find."

The man was silent for a moment, then called out in a low voice, "Master."

Yun Lian seemed to have finally noticed someone here, turned around, squinted at the rough clothes he was wearing, and said coolly: "Oh, what a pity. When I worked for my Yun family, at any rate, He is also a guard who does not worry about food and drink, how come he becomes the most humble fireworker once he comes to the palace?"

The man didn't answer for a long time.

He said again in a mocking and mocking tone: "Oh, you don't speak, do you feel ashamed?"

Qianying finally said: "I know that the young master will come to me sooner or later, and I have been waiting for this day. Qianying is indeed wrong to betray the young master, but he never feels guilty."

"Oh?"

"Qianying's betrayal of the young master was not intentional. To be honest, although Qianying has been with the young master for many years, he has always been trembling, and he has never been able to find peace. Qianying knows that the young master has always been ruthless. , other people are nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the young master, although Qianying is just a small hidden guard, but he doesn't want to live a life where he will be pushed out by the master to block the knife for the rest of his life."

Yun Lian's face turned cold: "Being my secret guard, have you wronged me?"

"My subordinates dare not say I am wronged, but compared to my previous career as a secret guard who licked blood at the knife edge, the palace I am staying in now can at least give me a corner where I can live and work."

After hearing this, Yun Lian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile was very cold, "Is this the common thinking of your brothers, or is it just you who think so?"

Qianying was silent again.

Yun Lian said again: "You know, betraying me will never end well."

"I know, so I have been waiting for the young master."

"So?" Yun Lian finally walked towards his back, and said in a low voice, "How are you going to face me?"

Qianying said: "Qianying knows that the young master is resourceful and resourceful, so he will definitely find a way to deal with me, but Qianying will never just catch me without a fight."

"It's too far-fetched to say that you'll be caught without a fight," Yun Lian coaxed, "Speaking of which, you have stayed in the palace for so long, so you should have grasped a lot of secrets in the palace, right?"

"When we return to Yun's house and report the secrets of the palace to the Holy Majesty, then it will be a great achievement. It's too late to be promoted, how can we deal with it?"

Qianying obviously didn't expect him to say that, and was momentarily stunned.He said in astonishment: "Master...not angry..."

Not only not angry, but also planning a way out for him in the future?

It was rare for Yun Lian to let out a soft voice: "Yes, do you still remember that I am your brother's benefactor?"

"Yes." Qianying seemed to have thought of something, and responded with a stern voice.

"I was the one who brought your brothers to the Yun family back then, taught you martial arts, and taught you the skills of secret guards?"

"Yes..." Qianying's voice was weak, as if she was finally moved, "Without Young Master, our brother would not be where we are today."

Yun Lian's voice was getting closer and closer: "Since you know that I am your benefactor, you are just like this-" When you came within a foot behind him, your voice suddenly increased, "Will you repay me--"

When the last word fell, while Qianying was still in a daze, a stern look flashed across Yun Lian's eyes, and with a raised left hand, he quickly pulled out a quenched silver needle from his sleeve, and inserted it straight into the back of Qianying's neck .

Qianying, who was still in a trance, was caught off guard by the silver needle.

The half-sharpened hatchet fell off his hand, and Qianying's body twitched and fell to the ground, with a "clack" sound in his throat, and he couldn't stop spitting out white foam from his mouth.

The silver needle was very poisonous, and after a while he stopped twitching, laying straight on the ground, staring straight at Yun Lian with his eyes like copper bells, his eyes still contained puzzlement, resentment and a sense of relief.

"This is the fate of betraying my son," Yun Lian sneered, "You should be glad that you died happily enough."

If it weren't for being in the palace at this moment, he would have more means to deal with this traitor.

After he finished speaking, without looking at the corpse on the ground, he walked to the stove, picked up a handful of firewood that was burning, and threw it on the pile of firewood. The fire burst out like a shocking tongue of flame, and instantly engulfed the firewood house and the entire firewood room. The dead body on the ground.

Covered by thick smoke, Yun Lian escaped from the other side of the firewood room. Shouts and cries for help continued to resound in all directions on the road. He brushed past the crowd and quickly walked away from the lost firewood room.

The palace was in turmoil, and it was always dark at night, and there were messy figures everywhere. Yun Lianyi was bold and did not rush to get out. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos and lit fires everywhere inside and outside the palace.

He brazenly went around in circles in the palace, and took advantage of the chaos to return to the small courtyard where the princess lived, and slipped in through the courtyard gate.

After a while, he hugged a sleeping woman out of the room, and said in his mouth: "Oh, my family, Yu Feng, is too kind, insisting that I won't let me do anything to you, but I can't help it. Who told you that you are the heart of the sixth prince? In order to restrain this beast, I can only offend it, haha."

He stood in front of the small courtyard, looking at the continuous flames inside and outside the palace and the figures of the exhausted people from afar, smiling extremely flamboyantly.

Then, without anyone in the palace finding out, they hugged their noble concubine and left laughing in the firelight.
