Chapter 1319: Head-to-head

"Lin Guogong really said that?" Xiang Qiu looked at the soldiers with some suspicion, Lin Tian was also a very conscientious commander, why did he suddenly become so lazy? Even the killer who infiltrated the palace did not pay attention to it, and instead handed over the matter to the Ouchi guards to deal with.

However, what Lin Tian said is indeed right, they are only responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate, if the killer breaks in from the Xuanwu Gate, their Beiyuan Imperial Forest Army naturally has an unshirkable responsibility, but now the killer flew into the palace from the world, and it really has nothing to do with them.

Xiang Qiu let out a long breath, she should have informed Wen Xuan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, presumably she would definitely thoroughly inspect every corner of the palace to ensure the safety of Empress Shuixiang.

"Yes, when I arrived at Beiyuan Mansion, Lin Guogong did say so." The soldier was still blushing shyly.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiang Qiu saw that something was wrong with the soldiers, and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just a bad picture." The soldier whispered.

"What can't you see?" Xiang Qiu suddenly became curious, or rather, women are born gossip animals, and they are absolutely unwilling not to gossip.

The soldier paused for a moment before covering his mouth and smiling: "When I went to report to Lin Guogong, I happened to see him fighting with Duchess Guo, and Duchess Guo's clothes were ripped off."

Xiang Qiu's little face turned red, coughed hard, pretended to be very plain, and said, "Don't spread this kind of thing casually, so as not to have a bad impact." ”

"Yes."

Xiang Qiu nodded, then turned to look at the palace in the distance. There was a hint of sharpness in her eyes, and she was absolutely not mistaken. But there are killers who have infiltrated the palace, but what is their purpose? Is it really to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress?

The commander of the Ouchi guard, Wen Xuan. After receiving Xiang Qiu's reminder, she led a large group of people to the outside of the Empress Xià's bedroom, but she did not disturb the Empress Shuixiang, but let people surround the Empress Xià's bedroom with three layers inside and three layers outside, and she didn't believe that the killer would sneak into the bedroom to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress without knowing it.

After the arrangement was made, Wen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Wen Taishi suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Big sister? Why are you here? Wen Xuan looked at her eldest sister Wen Zhiruo and asked with a puzzled expression.

Wen Taishi asked rhetorically: "How is Her Majesty the Empress?" Didn't get hurt, right? ”

"Nope. 一qiē安好. Wen Xuan became even more curious and asked, "Eldest sister, how did you know that there was a killer in the palace?" ”

Wen Taishi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said sternly: "This Taishi sent a team of subordinates during the day to keep an eye on the ten men sent into Xiangcheng by the second prince Yan Huaiyu. Two of his men reported that they had been knocked unconscious, and before they fainted, they saw one of the men change into a night suit. So I guessed that they were going to assassinate someone, who was the most important in this imperial city, and naturally it was Her Majesty the Empress, so I hurried over. ”

"I see." Wen Xuan nodded slightly. said: "General Xiang Qiu, the guard general guarding the Xuanwu Gate just now, also reported to me, saying that she saw a lot of black things entering the palace from mid-air. Only then did I send additional men to protect the comfort of Her Majesty the Empress. ”

"So good, I wonder if the security on Queen Pei's side has been strengthened?" Master Wen asked.

Wen Xuan shook her head. With a wry smile: "Eldest sister, you don't know how much the Empress loves Queen Bei, Her Majesty does not allow us guards to enter the harem, and this night is even more forbidden, and the guards who protect Queen Pei are the cronies of Her Majesty the Empress, I don't dare to send guards to the harem casually." ”

Wen Taishi frowned and said, "So that's the case, but you still send someone to inspect it." ”

"What? The eldest sister suspects that the killer is here to assassinate Queen Pei? Wen Xuan said: "How is this possible? Queen Bei is just a weak scholar, who hates him so much that they want to kill him? ”

"I don't know." Wen Taishi said: "But since the assassins have infiltrated the palace, they will definitely make a move, and there are only two main characters in this palace, one is Her Majesty the Empress, and the other is the third sister of Empress Bei, you better be careful, lest the job of the commander of your own internal guards be ruined." ”

Wen Xuan nodded thoughtfully, the duty of the Ouchi guards is to protect the safety of important people in the palace, and there must be no mistakes.

"Okay, I'll take someone to the harem to check it out right away."

"That's very good, I'll go back now, and you're bothered about the safety of this place." Master Wen said lightly.

She still trusts her third sister's ability.

After Master Wen left, Wen Xuan took a few people to the harem, inspected the harem, and found that there was nothing abnormal.

In the end, Wen Xuan came to Bei Youran's dormitory, Liu Mei raised slightly, and saw that the guards in front of Bei Youran's dormitory were nowhere to be seen, and suddenly became alert and pulled out the sword from his waist.

"Wen Xuan, the commander of the guards, pays a visit to Queen Bei." Wen Xuan shouted coldly, and then walked cautiously towards the dormitory, the closer he walked, the more he could smell a smell of blood, and this smell of blood wafted out of Bei Youran's dormitory.

It can be concluded that something must have happened in Bei Youran's bedroom.

But then, Bei Youran's voice came from the dormitory, "I've fallen asleep, what is Commander Wen looking for me?" ”

Wen Xuan got closer to the dormitory and said, "Someone came to report just now, saying that a killer had sneaked into the palace, and the minister was worried about the safety of Queen Pei, so he came to check it out." ”

"Commander Wen is too careful, I'm fine, please go back."

"That's not going to work, you have to search your room."

Bang!

Suddenly, the door of the dormitory was kicked open, Wen Xuan subconsciously took a few steps back, and then saw seven or eight black-clothed people rushing out of Bei Youran's dormitory, and the two black-clothed people at the back were holding short knives on Bei Youran's neck.

And among the ten black-clothed people, the second prince Yan Huaiyu was among them.

He wanted to coerce Bei Youran to retreat Wen Xuan, and then they took Bei Youran out of the palace, but he didn't expect Wen Xuan to be so difficult, so he simply came out of the dormitory, and the other guards had been killed.

Wen Xuan waved the long sword in his hand and said coldly: "Hurry up and release Queen Bei, otherwise this commander will let you die without a place to be buried." (To be continued......)
