"Where have you been these days? Did you know I'm dying? "Originally, Su Jing came to the Honglie Empire with me to protect me, I took the risk to fight against Wei Wuji to save Shi Fu alone, and I can be said to be full of resentment towards this girl, but after seeing her, I only said such a sentence, it was because I was really worried about her safety, although the daughter country and Hong Lie did not openly fight against each other, but the people who want to give them know that Su Jing is in the capital, it will definitely be unfavorable to her, I can't hear from her in the past few days, and I can't find her, and the full of complaints has already turned into worry.

Su Jing looked at me with a smile: "What are you anxious about, what can I do?" ”

I rolled my eyes and said, "You're okay, I'm okay." ”

Su Jing looked at me carefully, and pretended to be normal: "What's the matter with you?" ”

I bent down on my horse and said, "Ouch." ”

Su Jing was in a hurry, leaned over and said with concern: "Are you injured?" ”

"Hmm."

"Where's the wound?"

I leaned forward while she was leaning forward, and suddenly reached out to touch her face, salivating and saying, "People feel sad that I haven't seen Xiao Jingjing for so long." ”

Su Jing immediately understood that he was fooled, he was angry and helpless, and he wanted to block me with a whip in his hand, I naturally shrank back, and then pinched her wrist, Su Jing was caught off guard, and secondly, he was unwary of me, and he was caught by me and said unexpectedly: "Your kung fu has improved a lot." ”

I said proudly, "It's all thanks to Wei Wuji." ”

Su Jing said: "I only heard people talk about the affairs of Shifu roughly, what is going on?" ”

"You know the tricolor, right? It turned out that their boss Wei Wuji and Shi Cundao had a feud 40 years ago, and he came out with the killer of the tricolor stone this time to take revenge. ”

Su Jing frowned and said, "Not exactly." ”

"How?"

Su Jing said: "I heard a news in the past few days, the emperor of Hegis spent a lot of money to ask the three-color stone to make a move, the specific action is unknown, it turned out to fall on Wei Wuji, the three-color stone has always hooked up with Heji, I didn't expect to make a big move this time." ”

I slapped my thigh: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, wasn't Duan Tianya invited by them to kill me?" ”

Su Jing said: "Shi Cundao had a preconceived idea that Wei Wuji was looking for him to understand the old accounts, so he didn't think about it, but their spies should soon pass on the news - don't talk about them, tell me how you dealt with Wei Wuji?" ”

I sighed and said, "Speaking of this, you will hurt me, nine deaths!" "I recounted how Wei Wou-Ki printed bloody handprints on the door of the Shifu, how he protected the three ladies, and how he fought against Wei Wou-Ki, but I couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, 3 points of danger were said to be 10 points, which also referred to a lot of Xiaodouzi's bridge...... Su Jing was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and said, "You have suffered, and this time it is my fault." I shouldn't have left you. ”

I asked her, "What the hell are you doing these days?" ”

Su Jing said: "I went to Hagis for a trip. ”

"Oh, did you find any news?"

Su Jing said: "The 300,000 soldiers and horses of Hegis have already left for the front line, and they will pass through the Black Forest. ”

I pouted, "That's it?" ”

"Of course not, I also learned that they have gathered 1.5 million troops in the territory and set off in three ways."

"Three-way?" I was surprised: "Who are they going to fight besides Hong Lie?" ”

Su Jing said: "The three roads are all Ben Honglie, the commanders are Tangtailang, Qin Yiwu, and Wu Sizhong, these three people are all famous marshals of Hejis, and their task is to take the three cities of Lizhou, Fuzhou, and Xinzhou of the Honglie Empire at any cost, as a stronghold, to prepare for the final general attack." ”

I was speechless: "So with the 300,000 vanguard troops, a total of 1.8 million horses, is not all their strength?" ”

Su Jing said: "You know why you came, right?" ”

I hurriedly asked, "They really don't plan to use troops against their daughter's country?" ”

Su Jing said: "Not only did he not have this plan, but the emperor of Hegis has sent an envoy to make peace with my daughter's country, and they are now on their way." ”

"Isn't it a cover-up?"

"No, the Hegis Army has received a clear order that they are not allowed to send a single soldier to the daughter country until they take the Honglie Empire, and they have even planned that they will not take any action for 10 years after occupying Honglie, first, to recuperate, and second, to paralyze the Eighteen Nations Alliance and the daughter country."

I was surprised, "Even all this is planned? How do you know? ”

Su Jing said: "I was outside the window when Tailang held a meeting with his subordinates. ”

I snapped my fingers and said, "If this war is fought for 10 years, then the daughter country will have 20 years of peace, is the empress still willing to form an alliance with the Honglie Empire?" ”

Su Jing said: "I can't say this, so I'm going to go back as soon as this thing is over." Is there anything else going on on your side? ”

I said, "There is one thing at the moment - Zhu Xiaofeng wants me to assassinate him." ”

"What did you say?"

"It's fake, he wants to try the color of the Divine Guard."

When Su Jing heard this, he immediately understood, and said, "By the way, I will also try your sword god's quality." ”

"Well, everyone knows this, so I'm struggling with whether to go all out."

Su Jing said: "Do you think you can succeed if you do your best? ”

I said, "Just kidding, how is Wei Wou-Ki?" Not my defeated men yet? ”

Su Jing shook his head and said: "Fighting and assassination are completely different things, not to mention that your sword qi comes and goes, just with your two-handed and three-legged cat kung fu, you will be discovered as soon as you enter the palace." ”

"So what, who is my opponent?"

"Hehe, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 guards in the imperial city, even if you line up to kill you, how long will you kill? Zhu Xiaofeng definitely didn't want this effect. ”

"And what do you think I'm going to do?"

"Do you want to win this bet?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Jing said: "If you want to win, if you lose, Zhu Xiaofeng will inevitably look down on you by three points, if you win, your status in the Honglie Empire will be different." ”

I said, "What are my chances of winning?" ”

Su Jing said without thinking: "Not even Yicheng." ”

I said, "Then I'll go to hair." ”

Su Jing said: "I haven't finished speaking, you don't go to one percent by yourself, if I go with you, then at least fifty percent." ”

I said disdainfully: "How can you belittle others and elevate yourself like this?" Then you can go for me. ”

Su Jing said: "You listen to me after speaking, the success rate of me going alone is very small, and the two of us have to be together." ”

I was surprised, "Hey, you can use me sometimes, huh?" What's that reasoning? ”

Su Jing said: "Go deep into the palace to assassinate the emperor, there is inevitably a tough battle to fight, we can neither break through hard nor rely on speculation, your sword qi is still stronger than mine, the two of us join forces, there is hope for success." ”

I pondered the meaning of her words for a moment, and said, "Does it mean that I can only serve as a coolie to give you a hand?" ”

Su Jingyan said: "It's almost the same when you say that, that's what it means." ”

"Do you have a specific plan?"

Su Jing said: "Can you find a map of the palace first?" ”

I said, "I want to find a way to do this, Zhu Xiaofeng gave me three days, which day do you think is the right day to act?" ”

"I don't think it's today."

"Okay, so where do we meet?"

"You go back and prepare first, I'll go to you after dinner, let's have a big fight tonight!"

I smiled evilly: "How about a game, the time should be early, why don't we have a plum blossom three lanes?" ”

Su Jing didn't know whether he didn't understand or deliberately ignored it, so he said excitedly: "Hmph, the Binding God Guard is so famous, I want to see if they can live up to their name!" ”

I sighed secretly, it seems that the name should also consider the feelings of others, and the god guard is not much, so I will offend this arrogant chick first, people call it five rats, you are called the royal cat, isn't that bit of in "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness" because of this?

Su Jing said: "Then we will break up here, so as not to be suspicious of others." ”

I took her hand and said, "Don't hurry to go, I haven't seen you for so long, let my brother see if you are thin or fat?" I was just joking, but I inadvertently swept it over her face, and I saw that Su Jing really had a clear look, and I couldn't help touching her face and said, "You are really thin." ”

Su Jing smiled and walked away.

The oolong boss reluctantly carried me to the door of Shifu, and before I got off the horse, Shi Cundao had already led the three brothers of the Shi family to greet him, and the old man had not taken off his court clothes, so he dragged me off the horse and said, "What did the emperor tell you?" ”

I said casually: "The emperor named me the former general of the left." ”

Shi Chi was surprised: "That...... That's a second-grade master, very obedient, in another three and five years, aren't you going to catch up with your father? ”

Shi Cundao said with a smile: "What are you, in another three years and five years, I'm afraid that even the old man will not be a problem." "It seems that although the emperor has not said something, the old man already has a hunch...... At this time, Shi Fei looked at the horse I was riding and said in surprise: "This, isn't this an oolong horse?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all gathered around, and Shi Dongmo grabbed the saddle and said: "It is indeed an oolong horse, and even the saddle has never been changed." ”

I waved my hand and said, "The emperor sent it." ”

Shi Chi hurriedly said: "Wulang, you are confused, how dare you ask for this kind of gift?" ”

I wondered, "It was given to me by the emperor, why don't I dare to ask for it?" ”

Shi Chi said: "This is the imperial horse that the emperor has ridden, don't you understand what is involved?" ”

I muttered in a low voice: "The emperor has ridden a lot of things, as long as it's not a mother?" "But I didn't dare let them hear that...... Shi Fei looked at the saddle cautiously and said: "It's okay to send the horse, this is the imperial saddle, you just ride it to swagger through the market, in case you give it to which imperial history sees a copy of you, at worst, it will be a crime of dismissal and investigation." ”

The saddle is vermilion, the texture is heavy, it is made of pure gold, and the whole body is engraved with cloud patterns, a red dragon seems to be about to break through the clouds, and the Honglie Empire respects red, and adds dragon ornaments, this thing is a royal article at a glance.

Shi Dong said: "I think it's safer to send it back." ”

Shi Cundao said disapprerovitically: "Since it is loved by the emperor, it is not beautiful to send it back, so let's leave the horse, but the saddle must not be used again." Speaking of this, he looked at Shi Dong with a smile and said, "As for whether Yushi is involved in Wulang, it depends on whether you, as a son-in-law, will please your old Taishan." Shi Cundao rarely joked with his juniors, and Shi Dong was squeezed by him, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and he was embarrassed.

I took a step forward and said, "Grandpa, that ...... You already know about the third aunt, huh? ”

Shi Cundao glanced at me with a smile and said, "What, your third uncle still wants to ask you to be a lobbyist for him?" ”

I scratched my head and said, "I see that the third aunt is very real, and she is really good......

Shi Cundao said categorically: "Less nonsense, what should I do according to what you say?" ”

I snapped and stood upright, and said with a glance: "Back to grandpa, a big girl from someone followed my third uncle, if our Shi family can't give someone a name, we can't say it!" ”

Shi Dong was so frightened when he heard me say this, who would dare to talk to Shi Cundao like this in the whole world?

Shi Cundao glared at me, then looked at Shi Dong, who didn't dare to breathe, and snorted: "Don't take it as an example!" Shi Dong couldn't believe his ears, and took advantage of Shi Cundao's inattention to rush at me.

Shi Cundao took two steps and suddenly turned around again, glaring at Shi Chi and Shi Feidao: "The third child is a special situation, you two are not allowed to give me this crooked thought!" The two brothers whispered, and I laughed quietly: "It doesn't matter if you move, I'll tell you again." ”

Shi Chi was just about to reprimand, but I hurriedly said, "By the way, Dad, I have something to do with you." I said, "The emperor gave me a royal horse, and allowed me to enter and leave the palace, can you tell me the general location of the terrain in the palace, and also prevent me from rushing into the emperor suddenly." ”

Shi Chi nodded and said, "That's right, you come with me and I'll draw you a simple picture." ”

I was overjoyed, and followed Shi Chi to his room, Shi Chi took out a pen and paper, first drew a rectangle, and then drew four horizontal bars in the middle, and said: "The palace is divided into four parts, the first is the outer city ......"

I said, "Is that the place where the hundred officials dismount?" ”

"Yes, this outer city is empty, in fact, it is the urn city, if there is a foreign enemy attacking, this is the focus of defense. The first thing that comes in from the outer city is the council hall, the civil and military officials are here to go to the court, the council hall occupies a city, across the council hall is the middle city and the back city, the heart palace and the warm pavilion are in the middle city, here is the place where the emperor summons the cabinet ministers and henchmen, the back city is the harem, you must not summon this place, you can not enter lightly. ”

I pointed to the map and said, "So the emperor's bedroom is here?" ”

Shi Chi said: "Wrong, our emperor has worked hard, so the dormitory is located next to the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and most of the sleeps are here every night, unless there is a lady who lives before resting in the harem." As he spoke, Shi Chi clicked a dot in the third grid on the map.

I nodded, "So here, in this way, the guards near the Heart Cultivation Hall must be the strictest, right?" ”

"That's when ...... Why do you ask this? ”

"Oh, just ask." I was afraid that Shi Chi would be suspicious, so I hurriedly took the map in my hand, studied it for a while, and I suddenly found a problem, that is, there is a moat outside the city at most, but the imperial city of the Honglie Empire not only has an urn city, but also the partition of the triple courtyard is also protected by a city wall, as if it is defending against the attack of the enemy army at any time. ”

"What mystery?"

Shi Chi did not answer directly, but said, "Let me ask you, how far is our Kyoto from the border?" ”

Naturally, I couldn't say this, so I had to say, "It doesn't seem too far." "When I rode to the Eighteen Kingdoms, I vaguely remember that it took less than three days to arrive at the border from the capital, and the capital of the daughter country to the border required cavalry to walk on a fast horse for 10 days, the Honglie Empire is vast, and there must be more than this territory, which can only show that their capital is very close to the border, which is very contrary to common sense, because the general emperor chooses the capital in the center of the country, which is both safe and convenient for local officials to enter Beijing to discuss matters, what does Zhu Xiaofeng think?

Shi Chi said: "This is the good intentions of the successive emperors, the capital is here, every time a border city is lost, the emperor's safety will be threatened by one more point, the emperor uses this to inspire the soldiers to be brave, but also shows the determination to never compromise, even if the capital falls, the imperial city will fight to the last soldier, so the palace is full of barriers, which is to resist the invasion of a large number of troops to prepare for it." ”

I nodded, the martial spirit of the Honglie Empire from top to bottom can be seen from this, but this also adds a lot of difficulty to my and Su Jing's actions.

Say goodbye to Shi Chi I went back to my small courtyard, while continuing to study the map while waiting for Su Jing, when it was just getting dark, I saw a white shadow flashing at the door, Su Jing had already walked in, the green calyx was originally holding the lamp for me, she was dizzy, Su Jing casually threw me a dress and said, "Put it on." ”

I shook it open and saw that it was the same white robe as hers, and I said, "Why is it not black?" ”

Su Jing said: "There is no difference between black and white, and it is not shameful for a dignified sword god to wear a night suit." ”

I changed my clothes and suddenly remembered a question: "I went out dressed like this so late and people asked me what I said?" ”

Su Jing said: "It's very simple, don't let others find out - the assassination starts now." She put one hand under my side, half-lifted and half-dragged me out of the courtyard, through the wall of the corridor and over the path to bypass the guards of the palace, as if in a no-man's land, and soon came to the street, where two horses had already been prepared, and I pointed to the sky and said, "Why don't we fly?" ”

Su Jing said: "Don't be stupid, in that case, people will be aware of our sword qi from a long distance, and we will be discovered before we get close to the palace." ”

I got on my horse and ran to the palace with Su Jing, and on the way I took out a map and pointed it out to her, and introduced: "I have only entered the outer city and the former city where the council hall is located, and the outer city is empty, so it is not easy to hide. ”

Su Jing said: "I am not afraid of emptiness, but the terrain is complex and easy to expose." ”

I asked, "What is the truth behind this?" ”

Su Jing said: "The terrain is complicated, it is convenient for you to hide, and it is also convenient for others to hide, maybe there is a pair of eyes staring at you behind you where you squat." ”

When approaching the palace, the two of us abandoned the horse, and saw several teams of guards patrolling outside the palace gate, and there was almost no gap between the crossings, Su Jing stared at me with good eyes for a while, and suddenly pulled me towards the palace wall, I was surprised, didn't the guards find out immediately?

However, Su Jing just found a gap that could not be used, and when the two teams of guards turned their backs together, he drilled between the two teams, and then his body was close to the palace wall, and he was shielded by the shade of the trees on the side of the wall.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and whispered, "This job is really not easy to do." ”

Su Jing pressed my lips: "Shhh She looked overhead, and there were soldiers patrolling the walls as well. She took out a mask and motioned for me to put it on my head, and whispered to me solemnly: "Remember, from now on I am your shadow, and they must not find out that we are two people, otherwise you will lose all your efforts, and if you don't do it, you will cause a war between your daughter country and Hong Lie." As he spoke, he put a cover over his face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

I nodded, "I understand—when will I summon sword energy?" ”

"Don't be busy, I'll tell you to get ready, now let's go up!" Su Jing pulled me to jump up, I thought she had to drag me dizzy again, but I didn't expect her to rise slowly like a hot air balloon, stopped under the wall for a while, listened to the footsteps overhead, we immediately jumped up the city wall, Su Jing took me to the side of the wall, and fell down gently and skillfully, just like that, we have entered the inner city.

There's nothing to say, thank you to those friends who have been supporting Xiaohua, the state has been a little sluggish recently, but I believe that there will be a time to pick up, I always want to give you the best things, and when I can't get it, I will be very disappointed in myself, struggling between self-exile and rising up, delaying time and hurting readers.
