[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

The Linggu Temple in the dark night was unusually quiet. A gust of wind blew by, and the two rows of cedar trees outside the temple made a rustling sound, making it look a bit gloomy.

Shen Suxuan was dressed in black and shuttled through the temple, her whole body seemed to melt into the dark night, her footsteps landed silently, making it difficult to recognize her figure.

The body of the concubine Xian was placed in the main temple. During the day, dozens of monks chanted sutras and passed away. At night, two guards sent by the emperor guarded it outside.

Just five days ago, the dispute between the emperor and the queen mother finally came to a conclusion. The emperor finally compromised with the queen mother because of the etiquette system and the majesty of the queen mother.For this reason, the queen mother also backed down a step. Although she did not agree to let the concubine Xian enter the imperial tomb, she agreed to bury her in the cemetery near Linggu Temple.

Moreover, she also allowed the eminent monks of Linggu Temple to chant sutras for the concubine for seven days, which can be regarded as giving the emperor a face. For this, the calm emperor felt grateful to the empress dowager.

And all of this was expected by Shen Suxuan.

Tomorrow is the day when Concubine Xian is buried, and all problems must be resolved today.

She tiptoed and landed on the eaves lightly, then took out a bamboo flute from her arms and pointed it at a guard by the corner of her mouth. In the next second, something like a needle flew from the bamboo flute.

The guarding guard felt a numbness in his neck, as if he had been bitten by a bug. He reached out to touch it, but found nothing abnormal.

The other guard was about to ask him what was wrong, but before he could say anything, he felt a numbness in his neck, and at this moment, he saw the guard in front of him fall to the ground.

He secretly thought it was bad, and then he closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Shen Suxuan put the bamboo flute back into her arms, then jumped and landed beside the fainted guard.

So far, so good.

Entering the main temple, she immediately saw the coffin placed in the center.

Even though she was in a Buddhist temple, she still felt a gloomy coolness.

She has killed many people, and she has seen countless bloody corpses, so naturally she will not be frightened by a coffin now.

Walking forward slowly, she pressed both hands on the wooden board of the coffin, and then gently pushed it with her internal force. The wooden board was easily pushed away by more than half, and at the moment of pushing away, she smelled a smell of decaying corpses. The smell is very offensive.

Concubine Xian in the coffin was dressed luxuriously and had exquisite makeup, but no amount of makeup could cover her lime-like dull face.

Shen Suxuan frowned and took off the heavy coat on Concubine Xian, and then dragged Concubine Xian out of the coffin.

At this moment, a man in black jumped down from the beam, and respectfully saluted Shen Suxuan, "Master, my subordinates have already inquired, and there are guards guarding the temple's main entrance and back entrance."

Shen Suxuan looked calm, "What's the problem, I'll go out first, you can take her out according to the situation, understand?"

Although what Shen Suxuan said was simple, the man in black still understood, and he was puzzled: "This is too dangerous, I'd better go out first."

Shen Suxuan said angrily: "Do you think I can move her by heart?"

The man in black froze for a moment, and then said: "Master, be careful!" After speaking, he carried Concubine Xian on his shoulders.

Shen Suxuan covered her face with a black scarf and left the main temple.

Soon, the man in black heard the sound.

"There are assassins!"

As soon as the words fell, the man in black rushed out of the main temple with Concubine Xian on his shoulders.

Shen Suxuan leaped unhurriedly over the eaves, looking at the yelling guards below as if they were mentally retarded.

At this time, she caught a glimpse of the man in black approaching not far away, so she jumped and was directly surrounded by dozens of guards.

This time the guard was stunned.

Cast yourself into the net?

As soon as the leader of the guards raised his hand, the guards behind him immediately lined up and surrounded Shen Suxuan tightly.

Shen Suxuan drew out the soft sword from his waist and pointed it at the leader of the guards.

The head of the guards had never seen such a bold assassin before, but as the imperial guard appointed by the emperor, how could he back down at this time!

"Catch those who are alive, I will torture and interrogate them to see who is so bold as to break into the important place of Buddhism."

"Yes!" So the guard replied loudly.

Shen Suxuan behind the face scarf was laughing, laughing at the stupidity and overreaching of the head of the guards.

She only has one person, no matter how good her martial arts are, it is difficult to deal with so many guards, and these guards are all strictly trained.

Seeing that the guards were approaching her step by step, Shen Suxuan threw the soft sword into the sky forcefully, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, she dropped a few things like marbles on the ground, and the round marbles rolled a few times To the feet of the head of the guard.

Everyone hadn't realized when they were already dizzy from the smoke all over the sky.

"Don't let the assassin run away!" The leader of the guards calmed down the fastest, covering his mouth and nose and yelling into the misty smoke.

But in the end it was too late, when the smoke cleared, Shen Suxuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Do you want to chase it?" a guard asked cautiously.

The head of the guards had a livid face, "What are you chasing after, which direction did you see him running?"

The guard lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak.

Longevity Valley.

The man in black threw Concubine Xian on the cold stone ground in the center of the main hall, then turned and left.

Shen Suxuan looked at Concubine Xian who had woken up faintly, with a calm expression.

Concubine Xian slowly propped herself up, with unconcealable fear and despair in her eyes.

"Why...why didn't you let me go?" Concubine Xian stood up with difficulty, her voice hoarse.

Shen Suxuan's face was cold, "If you have anything to say, you can tell the owner yourself."

Concubine Xian looked at the front of the main hall tremblingly, and saw the person she wanted to avoid most in her life, the owner of the Longevity Valley, Guiluo.

"See Valley Master." Concubine Xian knelt tremblingly.

Guiluo's voice was cold, "You are getting more and more courageous, and you have been blinded by the false prosperity, have you forgotten who you are?"

Concubine Xian, Meng Xin, the head of Wenyue Hall, one of the five great protectors of the Longevity Valley, stared at her eyes in horror at this moment, and said with a crying voice after a long while: "I don't dare, because I have completed the task." For the sake of it, I hope the owner of the valley will spare my life."

Shen Suxuan bowed her head and said nothing, not planning to speak for Meng Xin.

Guiluo sneered: "You are very smart, and you should understand in your heart that if I want to kill you, I don't need to go through such a lot of trouble to catch you back. I can keep your life for a while."

Meng Xin swallowed back her tears, but she also knew the truth that death penalty is inevitable, "everything... follow the orders of the owner of the valley."

Guiluo became impatient, "Go out and receive the punishment."

After Meng Xin left, Guiluo asked Shen Suxuan, "Thank you for your hard work, have you suffered a lot in the palace these few months?"

Shen Suxuan said lightly: "This is the task of the subordinate, it's not hard."
