Zhu Nian looked back and happened to see Yun Lesheng walking over with a negative hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
At this time, Yun Lesheng took off a blue robe and put on a silver armor, which was a little tougher than his previous image.
"It's General Yun. Zhu Nian stood up from his seat and saluted Yun Lesheng.
"Why are you so polite with me, sit! sit!" Yun Lesheng was very happy to see Zhu Nian.
Yun Lesheng and Zhu Nian talked a few words, and then made a gesture to leave, he said regretfully: "I have some things to deal with today, and I have to leave the palace now, so I can only find time to talk later." ”
"Well, the general let's go, it's important to get down to business. Zhu Nian nodded.
Yun Lesheng reluctantly glanced at Zhu Nian a few times, and then left the martial arts training ground quickly.
Just now he received a letter from Yu He's flying pigeon, Yu He recently traced the movements of the dark pavilion in the capital, they have settled in an inn in the capital, and someone has even sneaked into the palace.
The stakes are very high, Yun Lesheng just wanted to change his clothes and go out of the palace to find Yu He, but he didn't expect to meet his longing Zhu Nian in the martial arts training ground.
"Nian'er, I'm back!" Tuoba Ling'er ran from Zhu Nian's left side, and also changed into a suit of armor, cute with a hint of heroism.
Yun Lesheng had already walked away, and Tuoba Ling'er obviously didn't notice him.
"How's that?" Tuoba Ling'er held a bow and arrow in one hand and waved it wildly in the other, turning in a circle in front of Zhu Nian.
"Well, that's good. Zhu Nian took a lot of time and nodded lightly in admiration.
"Nian'er, I've been away from you for so long, have you ever been bored?" Tuoba Ling'er asked with a smile on her eyebrows.
"Nope. Zhu Nian replied without thinking: "I just chatted with General Yun Lesheng for a while. ”
"Yun Lesheng?" Tuoba Ling'er repeated with a frown, "What a familiar name!"
"Da Xuan, the famous general, you are not familiar with it, what kind of system. Zhu Nian rolled his eyes at Tuoba Ling'er.
"No, no!" Tuoba Ling'er hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not familiar from this aspect. ”
"......" Zhu Nian was speechless, stood up and interrupted Tuoba Ling'er's train of thought: "Princess, don't you want to practice archery, and you can't go?"
"Oh yes, practice archery, I'm going to practice archery!" Tuoba Ling'er put his thoughts behind him, and soon ran excitedly in the direction of the shooting range.
Zhu Nian shook his head helplessly behind her.

In the box on the second floor of an inn, a slender woman wearing a hat to cover her face sat on a sandalwood chair and played with a sharp knife leisurely.
A man dressed in black with a high crown on his head half-knelt on the ground, waiting for the woman to speak.
"How's things going?" the woman finally spoke, her voice a little grim and chilling.
"Back to the hall master, I have entered the palace inside, just waiting for the hall master to tell me the next plan. The man in black replied cautiously.
"Well, that's good, you just have to be patient these days. The woman in the hat slammed the knife into the table, then stood up lazily and approached the man in black: "I know you still have some thoughts in mind, but I warn you, if you dare to act without permission, the consequences will ......."
"My subordinates don't dare!" replied the man in black with a fist.
"It's good if you don't dare, I like obedient men the most. The woman turned around and said with a smile.
The man in black frowned slightly, but he had something else on his mind.
Tuoba Ling'er wanted Zhu Nian to live with him in the Changle Palace, but Zhu Nian had to abide by the rules of etiquette, or he refused.
There was no way, Tuoba Ling'er had to reluctantly instruct the palace maid to clean up another room for Zhu Nian, although it was separated from the Changle Hall by a wall.
At night, everything is quiet, except for the occasional intermittent chirping of insects.
Zhu Nian had just finished bathing and changing clothes, and was going to go to bed with skin care spices.
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Tuoba Lei was also lying on the dragon couch and entered a state of light sleep.
Outside the hall, a black figure made a slight effort, evaded the watchful eye of the guards, and quietly hid behind a towering tree.
"Ah~" A guard was so sleepy that he reached out to cover his mouth and yawned.
At this moment, the black shadow had unconsciously moved to the corner behind the two guards, and took advantage of the guard's yawning to quickly rush out, suddenly raised his palm, and slashed at the neck of the yawning guard.
The guard rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
"Ah, you—" The other guard raised his knife and was about to shout, but was knocked to the ground by the nimble man in black.
Everything was calm again, and the man in black, who only showed a pair of eyes, looked at the two people lying on the ground with a deep look, then carefully pushed open the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and walked in lightly.
He seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and came to Tuoba Lei's bedside very smoothly.
Looking at the sleeping Tuoba Lei, the man in black clenched his left hand into a fist, his green muscles loomed, and his eyes were full of hatred and cold light.
The man in black raised the long sword he held in his right hand and slashed straight towards Tuoba Lei's face, and the blade instantly appeared cold.
Just at the last moment, Tuoba Lei suddenly opened his eyes, his reaction was extremely fast, and with an exclamation, he quickly turned over and dodged the attack of the man in black.
The blade was deeply inserted into the dragon couch, which showed the great force of the man in black.
Taking advantage of the brief moment when the man in black drew his sword, Tuoba Lei jumped up from the bed, dodged behind a screen, and shouted out the door: "Someone!
The man in black stared fiercely at Tuoba Lei behind the screen, pulled out his long sword with all his might, shouted: "Ah!", and rushed straight towards Tuoba Lei.
Tuoba Lei also had martial arts skills and withstood three attacks by the black-clothed assassins, but after all, he was sick, and soon he was physically exhausted and almost fell to the ground.
The door was slammed open from the outside, and Gonggong Shen was the first to run in and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"
Seeing that his whereabouts were revealed, the black-clothed assassin had no choice but to break the cauldron and stab Tuoba Lei one last time, but Tuoba Lei dodged him and only slashed his arm.
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Shen was shocked and beckoned to the royal guards behind him: "Hurry up, catch the assassin, protect the emperor!"
More than a dozen guards quickly ran into the hall and surrounded the assassins, and Tuoba Lei took this opportunity to run to Shen's father-in-law's side.
The black-clothed assassin looked at Tuoba Lei, who had run away, and knew that there was no hope for him to assassinate, so his eyes turned red for a while, and he shouted and slashed at the guards.
After several confrontations and fights, the Assassin was slashed on his right wrist, but managed to escape through the window.
"Go after it, don't let the assassin run away!" Shen Gonggong roared with a red neck.
"Yes!" the royal guards exited the main entrance, searching in waves in all directions.
For a moment, the palace became brightly lit, and the sound of the guards intermingling with each other.
