Chapter 650: Meeting on a Narrow Road
Since they brought about their own destruction, it is no wonder that others are unkind.
Emperor Chu pinched his eyebrows, slowly straightened his body, and his majestic and cold voice resounded in the air, "Where is the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard?" ”
"The subordinates are here." A figure that was almost too faint to see suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Chu, "Please command, Lord." ”
Emperor Chu lowered his eyes to look at him, and on his cold face, his expression revealed an unprecedented coldness, "According to the above, bring people back to me." ”
The figure took the secret decree he threw at him, answered it with great clarity, and in the blink of an eye, the imperial study was calm again.
Night, soon completely enveloped the earth.
This night, the capital seemed to be no different from usual. As soon as it gets dark, the bustling city gradually calms down with the night.
But this dark night covered with ink seems to be different.
Several black shadows that blended with the night swept silently through the silent and uninhabited streets, and in an instant they left the city gate and rushed into the thicker night.
In the Imperial Dome Hall in the center of the Temple of Heaven, Mu Xiaofeng, who was supposed to be sleeping with his eyes closed, quietly opened his bright and clear eyes in the darkness as if he suddenly felt something.
The eyes that were already so clear that they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts were even more dazzling in the dark.
She opened her eyes and didn't make any other movements, just looking up at the dark roof of the temple, a very faint smile slowly forming on her lips. The faint soft smile against the eyes that sparkled in the darkness actually drew her blurred outline in a thrilling and beautiful arc.
It's just a pity that no one can see such a confident and bright face.
She hooked the corners of her lips and sighed in her heart.
Everything is developing towards a predestined trajectory.
After tonight, no one can reverse the gears of fate.
The Dark Dragon Guard, which was directly ordered by Emperor Chu, was divided into four levels: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang. Among them, the dark dragon guard sent to the imperial tomb to confirm the authenticity of the prince's identity belongs to the Xuanzi level. And the one who was personally led out of the city by the supreme leader of the Dark Dragon Guard was the highest level of Tianzi.
The gray and green fish belly is white, and the black curtain slowly opens a new day.
The Tianzi Dragon Guard, led by the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard, finally arrived at the predetermined location after a day and a night after several raids.
After a little rest and replenishment of strength, they ushered in a new round of thick ink night with no fingers visible.
At this moment, near the back door of a three-entry house in Yucheng, there is an alley with convenient transportation. On both sides of the alley, in addition to the undulating roofs, there are dense and similar trees.
There was no moonlight or starlight tonight, and it was silent and dark except for a lantern that hung in the wind under the eaves of the back door.
The door, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened.
It was evident that the back door was often opened, and the shaft was so smooth that even when it was opened in the silence of the night, there was not a single rattle.
A delicate octagonal palace lamp came out of the door, and the faint yellow light reflected the stone steps outside the door clearly and warmly.
An ordinary green cloth soft sedan chair was then lifted out of it, this is a sedan chair carried by two people, and it does not look narrow when it comes out of the back door.
After the soft sedan car went out of the back door, the door was quickly closed again.
The palanquin bearer carried the sedan chair to the north end of the alley, and their light footsteps stepped on the alley, without disturbing the bystanders.
However, this light footnote did not last long, and was abruptly stopped by a black shadow that suddenly floated into the middle of the alley.
In the dark night, two cold rays flashed, and the palanquin man only felt a chill in his heart, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a black shadow like a mountain standing in front of him.
And the weapon that cut a cold light in the darkness just now turned out to be a forked sword that was not long, and it was pointing at his throat at the moment.
No, not at his throat, the strange sword, more like a pair of scissors that opened its mouth to slash his neck.
"Stop." The cold sound is as cold as this night, and there is no temperature.
In addition to the black shadow blocking in front, there is also a black shadow blocking in the back at the same time.
Of course, the tone of the cold and ruthless command only needs to be issued by the person in front of him. The black shadow blocked behind the sedan chair was also like a towering mountain, staring at the sedan chair silently with a scimitar.
Attacking back and forth, in this narrow alley, the sedan chair driver can only stop the sedan chair.
However, the black shadow standing in front of him was faintly surprised in the darkness when he saw them stop the sedan chair, and his eyes were so cold that there was no temperature at all.
In such a sudden situation, the sedan chair stopped like a rock, without even a trace of vibration. It can be seen that these two sedan chair drivers are not ordinary sedan chair drivers.
"Your Highness, please get off the sedan chair."
The one who opened his mouth was still the black shadow standing in front of the sedan chair, and his forked sword was still aimed at the neck of the sedan chair man, but his cold and sharp eyes like a falcon seemed to penetrate the darkness through the sedan chair to the person inside the sedan chair.
"Who is Your Excellency? Why are you blocking me here in the middle of the night? In the face of the murderous aura of the black shadow's powerful oppression, the people in the sedan chair still did not show up, and it was this faint voice, in addition to revealing a little impatience and displeasure, there was no trace of panic.
"Your Highness, please get off the sedan chair." The black shadow completely ignored the fierce and unpleasant questioning of the person in the sedan chair, and only repeated the same words mechanically without the slightest temperature.
The person in the sedan sedan snorted angrily, and suddenly shouted in a resolute voice, "Do it." ”
The two palanquin bearers, who seemed to be completely controlled by the black shadow, avoided the black shadow blade with a strange and twisted posture like swimming fish at an extremely fast speed.
While avoiding it, it was even possible to use a more tricky and fierce killing to approach the two black shadows.
The person in the sedan chair listened to the sound of the weapons clashing outside, seemed to purse his lips, and let out a confident sneer, as if he was still snorting coldly, "I don't know what I can do." ”
The two palanquin bearers and the two black shadows exchanged hands, and in a matter of moments, they turned defeat into victory and completely reversed the situation.
In the midst of their effortless struggle, a not-so-obvious whistle came out of the night.
It didn't take long for several sturdy figures to sweep through the still, undulating rooftops of the alley. Some of these black shadows joined the battle group, and more of them were guarding the sedan chair. In addition, two more people replaced the original sedan chair driver, and in the chaos they lifted the green cloth soft sedan chair and continued to move forward.
Seeing that, this green cloth soft sedan chair was about to stay away from the battle circle and leave this alley.
At this time, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the air.
As a result, the situation that was originally favorable to the sedan chair man was disrupted by several black shadows rushing from behind in the blink of an eye.
This time, the two sides were evenly matched, and they fought for a long time without distinguishing the winner or loser.
However, it was obvious that neither side wanted to make a big noise, and neither side wanted to alarm the people nearby, so the two groups of people actually fought all the way from the alley, and left the alley with a fight.
However, when it came to a more open place, the green cloth soft sedan chair was finally surrounded by the first black shadow.
"Your Highness, please get off the sedan chair." This time, the voice was colder and harsher than before, and the tip of the sword he pointed at the sedan chair was even more terrifying at this moment.
The sound fell, and the murderous aura was agitated, forcing the curtain in front of the sedan chair to shake.
However, even in the face of such a fierce and murderous aura, the people in the sedan car seemed to have no feeling at all.
There was no sound or movement, not even the breath of the previous one.
No breath?
The black shadow with the sword exuding a terrifying murderous aura was startled, and with a flick of his wrist, he flew over and cut the curtain neatly.
"Empty?"
In the darkness, his face changed in shock, and then he gestured to his companion who was still in the fierce battle, and then said resolutely and sonorously, "Withdraw!" ”
The group appeared suddenly, retreated more cleanly, and did not drag the water in the slightest.
After withdrawing, whether it was still fighting with others or watching, they all turned around and left without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was completely evacuated.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still some traces of blood and peeled clothes left on the ground from the fierce battle just now, these people who were still in front of them would probably wonder if they were having a dream.
"Who are these people? Coming and going without a trace? Unidentified traces leave no ......" is terrible.
However, this murmur of fear was like a magic sound, low and fast, as if it had no trace but was firmly imprinted in the hearts of others.
Soon the sky was bright again.
In the bustling center of Yucheng, in the hall of a house that is not magnificent, the atmosphere is a little sluggish and dignified.
"Master, my subordinates are incompetent, and I can't find out who suddenly attacked last night."
In the hall of the house, a man who looked like the head of the guard bowed his head and reported to the noble man with a look of shame.
"Smack!" There was a dull sound, which shocked everyone in the hall and couldn't help but shrink.
"Useless waste." The prince glanced at him angrily, but his handsome face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water, "The entire city defense of Yucheng is under our control, and we don't even know when to sneak in a group of masters?" ”
In addition to bowing his head and pulling the corners of his mouth, the reprimanded leader could only listen to the training with his head bowed silently.
Since they are masters, how can ordinary city defense soldiers find their traces.
However, the leader of the guards could only turn around in his heart. When the prince was furious, he had better not make a foolish move to pick the tiger's whiskers.
The prince scolded a few words and stopped, probably understanding the difficulty.
After being silent for a while, he frowned and coldly swept towards the head of the guards, "Now it seems that my whereabouts have been exposed. ”
He paused, his gaze changed for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision, and then said, "You want to find a way to lure the group of people out of Yucheng last night." ”
The leader of the guards obviously thought of something, and when he heard this, he was first shocked, then looked at him worriedly, and said disappringly, "Master, since your deeds have been exposed, I am afraid that if you stay here, you will be in an even more dangerous situation." ”
"Nonsense, of course I know that the situation may be even more dangerous," the prince snorted in displeasure, but once again commanded in an unquestionable tone, "Didn't I ask you to find a way to lure them out of Yucheng?" ”
His business is not finished yet, and he must not give up halfway at this time.
