At two o'clock, Kaiyang Street.

Horses that have undergone rigorous training in the West Pole have very good foot strength and very light hooves, which are not so easy to spot in the dark. The street was empty, the shops in the north of the city had just closed, and the sound of sleeping snoring wafted out of the dwellings, faintly discernible in the sound of the wind.

Sheng Yunyi stopped his horse halfway, stayed for a while, and then slowly moved forward. Chu Hao in his arms fell asleep in a daze, noticed the change in speed, closed his eyes and muttered:

"Are you home......

Sheng Yunyi said "um", let go of the reins with his left hand and patted her rhythmically a few times, and the child fell asleep again.

He walked towards a path to the right, and the path bent a few times, and at the end of it he could see the western gate of the imperial city.

At the side door, Lu Duzhi, who was guarding the gray-haired Lu Duzhi, hung a string of wind chimes with honey water, and took the little princess respectfully with his waist bent. He moved skillfully and gently, and carried all the belongings, as if he had done several errands to guard the door and pick up the children.

Sheng Yunyi said: "Ah Gong took her to the Agarwood Palace, it doesn't matter if she wakes up halfway, just blindfold her hands." With that, he turned his horse's head and disappeared into the thick darkness despite Lu Li's anxious gaze.

Lu Li muttered: "Your Majesty must rush back in front of Yinzheng......" pulled out the wind chime tied to his waist and shook it, and the little princess who was about to open her eyes stayed in sleep.

The horse snorted, and the few lights in the neighborhood made the night darker and darker.

The wind came from the flat ground, and the movement like eating mulberry leaves slowly melted behind him like ice and snow, and you can imagine the scene of two groups of people copying from the left and right wings.

Sheng Yunyi flicked his sleeves, and the sound of the propodium in his sleeve whistled and shot forward, and the arrow burst out of a dazzling white flower.

Then he turned around, and the bright sword light reached the center of his eyebrows in an instant. The sword was extremely fast, and the masked assassin behind the sword light threatened to kill the person in front of him, but his hand stopped in midair.

A silver wire bypassed the blade of the narrow sword, and was unwittingly pushed under his Adam's apple by the strong wind, and his head flew several feet away in an instant.

The assassin was determined to die, and his arm suddenly strengthened, and his companions behind him pounced on him together, and one of them couldn't help but pause for a moment when he saw the silver thread. Sheng Yunyi jumped down, and the silver filament touched the neck of the first person like a dragonfly, and flicked a few arcs smoothly and naturally, solving the hesitation at the critical moment with a snap of his fingers.

The weapons on the underworld were surprisingly useful, and the assassin who was going to die with him collapsed clutching his neck, spurting a large amount of blood from his fingers, and did not move without a snort. The wound is very small, but the artery is found accurately, and it makes people go to the west without difficulty.

A large area of fire suddenly lit up, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities holding torches surrounded the fangzi, and the river drum guard also escorted a few people to appear from the crowd, and there were some blood stains splashed on their clothes.

Sheng Yunyi nodded at the commander, and the four assassins who were temporarily in existence looked at each other a few times for a while and gave up their goal, and climbed the wall like a harrier, and quickly disappeared into the endless house.

The commander knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is unharmed, the minister is waiting for the late death penalty! The Governor's Mansion has set up a position in the south of the city. ”

Sheng Yunyi comforted the frightened horse with one hand, and said coldly: "No need. Why did the Yutang suddenly recruit so many newcomers, and they couldn't keep an eye on them, so I had to come back and give them a chance. Make a show for them to show how to mark people. ”

The commander was stunned, he had the acquiescence of His Majesty in the afternoon to order someone to set up a pursuit net, according to His Majesty's usual temperament, he would definitely not let go of a person, could it be that there was another reason today?

He tentatively stepped forward and asked softly, "Your Majesty...... These six Assassins are the second group to enter Beijing from the south?"

Sheng Yunyi pinched the time to return to the palace, stepped on the horse and walked away.

Confused by the lack of a single word of command, he sullenly summoned orders to follow the fleeing Assassins.

The horse's hooves were much heavier, he took off his mask and ran all the way back to the Agarwood Palace. The guard of the palace gate recognized this face and hurriedly asked An to let him go.

Sheng Yunyi entered the hall without saying a word, and after washing himself, he changed into court clothes, which took only two quarters of an hour. The child coughed a few times in the warm pavilion, he leaned over to the couch to take a look, tucked the corner of the quilt and went out to wait for the bell to ring.

Fu Yu, the celebrant and supervisor, followed the attendant, lowered his voice and said: "The prince has just entered the palace, and he said that he will wait for His Majesty to go to court." ”

Sheng Yunyi said as he walked: "Let Xuanze leave a word, there are many things today, and it will be time to arrive as soon as possible." ”

Fu Yu should be, the little yellow door behind him was just the time to be courteous, and he ran away with a smoke.

His prediction was like a divine help, and it really didn't go away until the end of the hour. He had always been quiet in the court, and in the end he gained a reputation for being stubborn. At the end, the chattering ministers were so easy to feel thirsty that they couldn't talk about it, so he deliberately poured out all the words that had been stored for two hours, and saw that two or three old ministers were going to hit the pillars, and felt very happy.

Most of the Beijing officials talk a lot, and it's not a bad thing, he can endure it, anyway, no one who can talk can do practical things, and no one who can do things will disturb his tranquility.

Sheng Yunyi returned to the Agarwood Hall and threw the sleepy-eyed little princess into the study in his palace. When the palace people of Liuyu Palace saw him, they knelt down and asked for punishment.

Xiyin, the palace maid in charge, blamed herself: "It's the slave maid who is not supervising well, and I will definitely let the princess get up on time to do her homework in the future." The princess was sleepy for a while, and sometimes she slept until the end of her life, and the slaves and maids relaxed when they saw it, and they did not dare to wake the princess. ”

He said, "Let her start copying the Lengyan Sutra today." ”

Xiyin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she wanted the little princess to hone her mind, and specially picked up the lengthy and incomprehensible things for her to copy.

Sheng Yunyi said again: "Lunch ......"

Chu Hao suddenly sobered up, hugged his leg and shouted: "Daddy, don't!"

Shein and the rest of the group were so frightened that they only listened to what Imagami said:

"And for dinner, it's all light. ”

Chu Ai whimpered and cried back to the desk, moved a small stool, and said while placing a pen and paper, "Mama brings water to wash my face...... Brother Huang wants me to copy it right away!"

Sheng Yunyi said: "Then it starts." "The hind feet have gone out of the Liuyu Palace.

Xiyin sighed, took a cotton towel and dipped it in water to wipe her little face first. The child's eyelashes were thin and soft, rubbed in the palm of her hand, and she couldn't help but say softly:

"Little princess, Daddy can't be called casually, Your Highness couldn't tell the difference between Daddy and Brother when he was young, but now His Highness has grown up. ”

The first emperor died five years ago, and the princess was born two months after that, and she has been raising it all the time, because she learned the word daddy and kept using it for Jinshang. At first, he didn't care much about it, until some rumors were leaked in the ban, and he explicitly ordered the princess to change her name.

"But last night the royal brother said that I didn't grow up. ”

Shein held her white fingers and was speechless.

Yan Xigui went to the study room for two and a half hours and a half, and he was impatient to turn out the account book page by page.

Sheng Yunyi retired from his attendants, sat down on the bookcase and poured white water, closed his eyes for a while, and said:

"You're not going home today?"

Yan Xugui put down the account, his face was a little unpleasant: "You went up to the front and let go of a few assassins from the Rain Hall?"

Sheng Yunyi said: "Kill two." ”

Yan Xugui held his forehead: "Chonghua, you are too obvious." ”

Sheng Yunyi said: "What's obvious?"

Yan Xigui couldn't get used to his bad habit of being too lazy to speak, and said sarcastically: "Your teacher has been taught by you to do this, but it is another layer of danger." ”

He let go of the spies in the street under the siege of so many people, and only sent the river drum guards to chase and watch, that is, to tell the employer that he was afraid of the hostages. The commander asked if it was an assassin from the south, and even his subordinates didn't have the right instincts.

Sheng Yunyi said: "It turns out that you know that you are the employer over there in Nan'an. ”

Yan Xugui gasped, he had only been away from Beijing for two months at the beginning of the year, and this person's cheekiness had really grown again.

Sheng Yunyi's eyes were blue and blue, and Concubine Hui was favored in front of the palace with it, and when she looked at people, she would make her heart tremble, and she suddenly fell into the abyss, but she was extremely unwilling to get out. However, at this time, he took these eyes and sent a surprised look that did not match in the slightest, and Yan Xugui wished that he was blind.

He had no choice but to be defeated, and said, "You take out the glass silk and show it to me." ”

He knew that Sheng Yunyi couldn't bear any stains in the palace except for his sister, and this was an ominous weapon stained with blood, so it was inconvenient to see the light, and it was not safe to hand it over to others, so it was very likely that he would take it with him and not take it off when he changed his court clothes.

Sure enough, Sheng Yunyi got up and changed into his regular clothes behind the screen, and when he came out, he straightened his neckline, and there was something wrapped in special silk in his right hand.

Yan Xigui took it and opened it, stared at the light carefully, and was quite sure in his heart.

"It's poisoned on it. ”

Sheng Yunyi drank water leisurely, "What can I do with it if I don't quench the poison?"

Yan Xigui said: "I went to check the death of those two assassins, if you see it, you will definitely not sleep well, both limbs are crooked, the face is distorted, and it is extremely asymmetrical. ”

"It's hard work. ”

Yan Xugui usually doesn't talk much, but when he gets cornered in front of his cousin, he is forced to do the opposite.

Sheng Yunyi said: "This kind of weapon is rare, but it is very common in a first-class killer organization like Xianyutang, and only after using it can I know that there is indeed a common reason, which is both labor-saving and clean." ”

Yan Xugui said in his heart that he must only focus on the word clean.

"According to common sense, cutting a person's head from the front of the neck requires a good grasp of strength and speed, too deep the obstacle is big, it is inconvenient to withdraw in time, too shallow to break the throat, it all depends on the hand. When I threw the silver wire, I felt that it touched the human skin and embedded it like a magnet. This morning is the second time I tried this glass silk, and I didn't notice it the previous time, and Wang Jing's corpse was only missing a head, and everything else was as usual. ”

Yan remembered when he first touched him. Ling, who was ten years younger at the time, carried the basket from the noodle stall and took two bowls of somen noodles to find his villa in the south of the city, and wanted to check the hidden line hidden in the Huimin Pharmacy along the way.

The governor took the trail through the winding alleys and threw away a pair of chopsticks and a bag of water. He used chopsticks as a murder weapon to kill people, he gave water as a gift, and of course, he also demanded money for water bladders from the rescued people against the virtue of saints. The money bag was handed over to Yan Gongzi on that day as a low-price reward for the sale of Mo Ciju's flower cover.

"Speaking of which, your mask looks quite similar, I remember the appearance of my husband when he left Beijing...... It's pretty much the same as you do. Why, you told Mingzhou that you can't remember clearly?

Sheng Yunyi's eyebrows and eyes froze.

The corners of Yan Xugui's lips twitched, and he said, "Mingzhou thought that you might use yourself as a target to lure a group of assassins to take the bait, and rushed to the scene after you returned to the palace, and happened to meet me." General Rong left his fiancée alone on the outskirts of the city, leaving only a text message...... What are you good about? By the way, you pulled him to talk about it at night?"

"You're very well-informed. ”

Yan Xugui saw that he was going to be cold, put away his joke, and said, "Tell me about this from the beginning." I am well-informed, after all, I am only well-informed in business, and I can't compare to the ups and downs of people's hearts in your officialdom. ”

Sheng Yunyi's eyes were quiet, his crow-like eyebrows frowned, and he said lightly:

"How can people's hearts change in such a rapid manner? All thoughts are not born at the beginning, but there are only some words that are hidden and have no chance to be said. There is no beginning, there is an end, it is like a change in the heart, I only think it is the appearance of the heart. ”
