The Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the imperial city, was guarded by Lin Tian's Beiyuan Imperial Forest Army, and the general on duty tonight was the general Xiang Qiu, standing majestically on the city wall with a silver spear, and a pair of sharp eyes swept downward.

Suddenly, Xiang Qiu's body muscles twitched slightly, and they relaxed randomly, but his shoulders shook again, and the spear in his hand clenched violently in his palm.

Several cold breaths, with a forest aura, came from all directions, and the target was the Xuanwu Gate she was guarding.

Killer!

This was Xiang Qiu's first instinct, it was already late at night, and in addition to the killer, she really couldn't imagine that there were other uninvited guests.

But when these murderous auras approached the Xuanwu Gate, they suddenly disappeared, and Xiang Qiu's eyebrows were even more raised, it was not that the killers had withdrawn, but that they had hidden the murderous aura, perhaps, they were quietly approaching here.

"Be vigilant." Xiang Qiu shouted at the guards at the city gate below, and she herself came down from the city wall, standing at the gate with a spear in her hand.

The other guards were also on high alert, but after waiting for a while, no one came to attack.

But Xiang Qiu did not relax his vigilance, the responsibility of guarding the imperial city was heavy, and there must be no slackness.

Whew

At this moment, several inexplicable yin winds blew in the sky, causing a layer of cold sweat to ooze from Xiang Qiu's back, but she still didn't see any trace of the killer.

Suddenly, Xiang Qiu subconsciously looked at the sky, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and found that several black moving objects appeared in the dark night sky, and these black things were floating towards the palace.

Xiang Qiu suddenly screamed that it was not good. Fortunately, her eyes are good, otherwise these killers in night clothes sneaked into the palace. It's really hard to find.

"Someone." Xiang Qiu said coldly.

"General, what do you command?" The soldier on the side asked.

"Go and inform Lin Guogong immediately. said that a killer had infiltrated the palace and asked him to come over immediately" After Xiang Qiu finished speaking, he immediately made a decision, "The others will follow me into the palace to protect Her Majesty." ”

Since an assassin has entered the imperial city, she must notify Her Majesty the Empress in time, her life safety is related to the entire Xiangxiang Kingdom, so there must be no mistakes.

Subsequently, Xiang Qiu led a group of people to enter the palace from the Xuanwu Gate. But when he was at the inner gate, he was stopped by the Ouchi guards in the palace.

Although the Imperial Forest Army was responsible for guarding the four gates of the palace, they were absolutely not allowed to enter the palace without the will of the empress, otherwise they would be punished as treason, and after the four gates, there were four inner gates, and this inner gate was guarded by the palace's inner guards.

"Stop, no trespassing is allowed in the forbidden place of the palace." The foreman's guards blocked Xiang Qiu's way.

Xiang Qiu naturally knew that the palace was absolutely not allowed to trespass. But he still said sternly: "I want to see your commander, I suspect that a killer has infiltrated the palace." ”

"Killer?" The foreman's guard was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed, and said, "General Xiang." Are you sleepwalking? Where did the killer come from? Isn't your Beiyuan Imperial Forest Army the most powerful army in Xiangxiang Country? There are still killers in the world who can bypass your sight and enter the palace, even if they escape your sight, do our Ouchi guards eat white rice? Could the killer still be able to sneak in through our inner door? ”

Xiang Qiu knew that this foreman guard was making fun of her. Although they were all guarding the palace, the Imperial Forest Army quickly came to disagree with the Ouchi guards. It's not the first time.

Xiang Qiu smiled coldly and said, "That's right. General Ben thinks that your Ouchi guards are eating rice, and so many pairs of eyes actually let the killer sneak into the palace. ”

"You"

"Less nonsense." Xiang Qiu stabbed the spear in his hand, and the silver spear head forced the throat of the foreman guard, only an inch short of asking for the life of the foreman guard, and said coldly: "Go and inform your commander, otherwise this general will pick you with one shot." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." The foreman's guards were so frightened that they had no temper at all, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the palace.

Soon, the foreman guard followed a woman, and this woman was the commander of the Ouchi guard, Wen Xuan.

Listening to the name is like a quiet lady, but Wen Xuan is not as weak as others think, outsiders know that Le Shitong is the first master of Xiangxiang Country, and this Wen Xuan can be ranked second, but she guards the palace all the year round and does not often appear in front of everyone, so few people know her cunning.

As for her beauty, she is even more captivating, but she is not ranked among the four beauties of Xiangxiang Country, which is also because she behaves in a low-key manner on weekdays, and few people have seen her true face.

But her second identity is known all over the city, she is the third sister of Wen Taishi, she became the commander of this inner guard, half of it is due to her strength, and the other half is also due to Wen Taishi's relationship.

The moment Xiang Qiu saw Wen Xuan, he was immediately attracted by Wen Xuan's beauty, because Wen Xuan was wearing a set of black armor, which further highlighted her delicate and fair melon seed face, and her facial features were extremely delicate, and she had a beautiful feeling.

"General Xiang, you are suddenly here, I don't know why?" Wen Xuan did not put on an arrogant posture like the Wen family, but looked at Xiang Qiu with an approachable look and asked lightly.

Although she is also a member of the Wen family, she does not inherit the domineering temperament of the Wen family in her blood, but treats people very politely, giving people a full sense of closeness, which is why she can be loved by the Ouchi guards.

Xiang Qiu lowered his head, clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Commander Wen, when the last general was guarding the city gate just now, he found that there were several black shadows floating into the palace in the night sky, and the last general was worried that it was a killer, so he came to report it, and Commander Wen quickly sent someone to protect Her Majesty the Empress." ”

"Is that really the case?" Wen Xuan's slender willow eyebrows raised slightly, and a trace of strictness immediately appeared on her face, without a trace of hesitation, and said: "General Xiang, you go back to guard your Xuanwu Gate, and this commander will lead people to strengthen the guard of Her Majesty the Empress."

"So good, I will go back here." Xiang Qiu didn't ink either, and immediately returned to the Xuanwu Gate with people.

Just when Xiang Qiu returned to Xuanwu Gate, the soldiers who had gone to inform Lin Tian before also returned.

"What about Lin Guogong? Why didn't he come? Xiang Qiu asked.

The soldier blushed and said: "Lin Guogong and Duchess Guogong have already rested, he said that since there are killers who have infiltrated the palace, it is enough to notify the Ouchi guards, because this is the responsibility of the Ouchi guards, and it has nothing to do with half of the copper plate of our Beiyuan Imperial Forest Army."
