It was another decree to enter the palace, and the emperor summoned Ye Nianchen by name, and did not say when he did it, but only ordered him to enter the palace to meet him.

Ye Nianchen calmly accepted the order, and did not deliberately explain anything to the people around him, just nodded to Zhi'er and Shadow, and then followed the palace people alone and left directly into the palace.

The carriage drove slowly on the official road, I don't know if it was snowing, there were not many pedestrians along the way, and the more you went in the direction of the palace gate, the more deserted it became.

Although the weather was cold and there was heavy snow last night, the snow on the official road had been swept to both sides early in the morning, and it would not affect travel, even if there were not as many cars and horses and people as usual, but it was not as empty as the place that should have been popular and prosperous.

Ye Nianchen silently lowered the curtain of the car, did not look out again, and did not show any discoloration on his face.

Zhi'er and Shadow didn't follow, and entering the palace by order is different from going somewhere else, it's not that you can take whoever you want.

"Miss Ye, the slave knows that this is not the first time you have entered the palace to face the saint, but according to the rules, the palace ceremony should still have to nag you again."

The palace man who delivered the decree accompanied Ye Nianchen to sit in the carriage, and told Ye Nianchen with a smile about the various matters that should be paid attention to when meeting the emperor for a while.

Ye Nianchen nodded slightly, but he listened seriously.

She glanced at the palace man by the way, and after listening for a while, she suddenly said loudly: "You don't look like a palace maid." ”

When the palace people heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. Then he hurriedly laughed and said: "Miss Ye said that she was joking, the slave maid is a palace maid, and she was born to serve people's lives, so what is not like it." ”

"Not only are you not like it, but you are not at all!" Ye Nianchen raised his hand as he said and slapped it towards the chest of the palace person, the action was so fast that it was really unexpected.

Although the palace man was extremely surprised, he reacted quickly, seeing that Ye Nianchen not only found something, but also shot directly at her. Subconsciously, he turned sideways to avoid the palm.

"I didn't expect Miss Ye to have such eyesight and skills. It seems that my mission today is not too boring! The palace man's expression and tone changed instantly, and he shook his sleeves as he spoke, and a bright dagger was directly held in his hand: "Girl, let's go, remember to find the right enemy." I'm just collecting some money to help people eliminate disasters! ”

The sharp dagger carries a sharp chill. Directly slashed at Ye Nianchen's neck. It's amazingly fast.

That kind of offensive can't be avoided by ordinary people, even if they have some martial arts foundation. In such a confined space where there is no way to run, it is almost impossible to survive.

It is precisely because of this that the palace man can be so unscrupulous, and directly tell the main culprit as if he were a dead person, so that Ye Nianchen can be a clear ghost, and don't find the wrong object of revenge after death.

"Thanks for the reminder, it's a good journey!" Ye Nianchen looked at the dagger that was almost on his neck, but he didn't mess up at all, and he didn't even have the consciousness of hiding, but smiled slightly, and said a few words at the palace man.

Gong Ren's face changed greatly, and she saw that the dagger in her hand was only a line away from slashing the opponent's neck and taking the opponent's life, but at this moment, she suddenly felt an indescribable life and death crisis rushing towards her, like a tide that was about to swallow her in an instant.

At the same time that Ye Nianchen's last word fell into her ears, she suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain in her left abdomen, as if something had not entered her body, and she suddenly hit the vital point.

"You ......" Her hand stopped there, and the distance between the dagger in her hand and Ye Nianchen's stomach was only a fraction of a slight, but there was no more chance.

Even, the palace man didn't have time to look down at what was going on in his chest, and he didn't have time to say a word, he just stared at Ye Nianchen, who was as calm as water, with wide eyes, and finally closed his eyes incredibly and fell down.

Pulling out the dagger, Ye Nianchen sighed slightly, the palace people are afraid that they won't know until they die, not all the money in this world is so easy to earn, even if it is earned, what can it be, it has to have a life flower!

Ye Nianchen's portable dagger was as thin as paper, extremely sharp, and it didn't even have time to flow out of the blood between one entry and one exit. She has always carried this dagger with her and rarely used it, but she didn't want to take people's lives when she really used it today.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted outside, and at the same time, the large knife several feet long followed directly in.

Ye Nianchen grabbed the cushion on the car casually and threw it out, and with a sharp sweep of the legs, he forcibly changed the direction of the big knife, and then took the opportunity to get out of the carriage and jump out of the carriage.

"Stinky girl, you actually killed Sanniang, it seems that we really underestimated you!" The stout man lost his hand for the first time, directly threw down the hat that was in the way, and jumped out of the car after Ye Nianchen: "Come on, Lao Tzu has to stomp on you less today!" ”

This man was originally dressed as a coachman, but when he saw that his companion had missed, he was already annoyed and angry, and he waved his hand again and attacked Ye Nianchen.

It's just that now of course he has understood that Ye Nianchen is not a slender woman who is powerless, and she can cleanly solve Sanniang in one move, which shows that she is skilled, even if Sanniang is careless, she still can't be underestimated.

"If you don't have any more accomplices, you won't be able to kill me on your own." Ye Nianchen didn't see the slightest panic, but smiled and said: "If you stop now, I can still spare your life, otherwise it will ......."

"How else?" The man subconsciously stopped the original offensive first, stood there with a horizontal knife and sneered at Ye Nianchen: "Otherwise, do you think you can kill me again as before, taking advantage of Sanniang's unpreparedness?" ”

"I know you're just being ordered by someone, for the sake of money or for the future, but there is no real grudge between us, and I don't want to kill too much, so if you can stop and leave now, I can guarantee your life." Ye Nianchen said seriously: "Otherwise, your fate will only be the same as the corpse in the car." ”

"Hahaha. Joke, what a big joke, I, Tang Mazi, have never been threatened like this! The strong man laughed, pointed at Ye Nianchen and said: "Lao Tzu knows that you are clumsy and have some skills, but if you fight alone with Lao Tzu, you don't have to be whimsical, there is only a dead end......

The strong man's words suddenly stopped at this moment, but the last word could no longer be spoken.

He screamed there and spat out a mouthful of blood. And the back has been hit by a hidden weapon in the fatal place. Blood gushed out along with the wound and fell to the ground in dripping drops.

"I gave you a chance...... Ye Nianchen sighed slightly again, watching the strong man fall to the ground unwillingly, unable to move anymore.

Going it alone? Who's going to be alone with you?

Ye Nianchen sighed with emotion. This person walks the rivers and lakes and doesn't know how to live. Forget about a lot of nonsense. Are you still naïve to this point, do you really think that there will be no one on the street?

"Miss Ye, are you okay?" Several black figures quickly surrounded them. He saluted Ye Nianchen respectfully: "I waited for the order of the prince to come to pick up the girl, I was a little late, so the girl was frightened, and I asked the girl to forgive me!" ”

"I didn't have anything, and I wasn't frightened, thank you." Ye Nianchen was not surprised by the arrival of these people, nodded and responded simply.

"Inevitably, there will be another accident on the way, the prince ordered me to personally send the girl into the palace, the sedan chair has been prepared, it will be there in a while, and I ask the girl to wait." As he spoke, the leader took out Ye Nianchen's cloak from the carriage and presented it.

The carriage in the palace is afraid of being tampered with, so it is no longer intended to be used at this moment, and Li Zhi's people have already arranged everything in advance, but they don't have to worry about being late to enter the palace.

What will happen in the middle of the road, the crown prince Li Zhi has already estimated that the emperor can't trust him anymore, and he will no longer put the chips on him to execute Ye Nianchen, so such an accident is normal.

Ye Nianchen put on his cloak, tied it gently, and was about to make a sound, but he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look around.

Her complexion gradually became solemn, even though the cold wind had been blocked too much by the cloak, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

"Miss Ye, what's wrong with you?" The black-clothed man led by him naturally sensed the change in Ye Nianchen's expression, and hurriedly asked carefully.

"How many of you came?" Ye Nianchen's gaze was fixed on the small building with closed doors and windows on the left and right, and said thoughtfully to the black-clothed man who was the leader: "If there are only a few of us in total, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to walk." ”

"Miss Ye, do you mean ......" The man in black led by him is not stupid, seeing Ye Nianchen behaving like this, and saying like this, he waved his hand in an instant, and formed a circle with several other people while talking, protecting Ye Nianchen in the middle: "You mean that there is an ambush here?" ”

At this moment, several men in black were immediately on full alert, and one by one did not dare to have any carelessness.

Although they are all one in a hundred, the number of them is too small, if there is really a large number of ambushes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect Ye Nianchen.

"With the emperor's temperament, how can he just use such a little means, if I guess correctly, it is estimated that there are already archers waiting on both sides."

Ye Nianchen said, and shouted directly to the second floor: "Come out, if you want to know if I have any help, you don't have to continue to hide, after you come out, it will naturally be clear!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a large number of heavily armed archers rushing out from the heights on both sides, but after a moment of effort, they were ready, and one by one the arrows were directly aimed at Ye Nianchen's direction, just waiting for an order.

"Miss Ye is really powerful, she is so prepared to expect that there will be an ambush here!"

A very high-pitched voice sounded from the second floor on the left, and a middle-aged man in his thirties stood behind the archer with his face covered, and said with a smile: "But to be honest, I didn't expect that we would really have a chance to appear today, Sanniang and Mazi are too useless, not only did they fail to take Miss Ye's head in exchange for silver, but they put their lives into it." That's fine, just one credit, and now I'm not afraid of someone fighting with me! Ha ha! ”

"My lord has won the prize, I also saw the terrain here just now, and suddenly my intuition played a role, if I really expected it in advance, I am afraid that my lord will not be able to talk and laugh here and discuss what credit and hard work."

Ye Nianchen directly called this masked leader an adult, which saved a lot of trouble.

This group of people did not wear their usual clothes, but uniformly fitted gray clothes, and even covered their faces, but no matter how they were, they couldn't hide who they were.

"Since Miss Ye already knows our identity, then all of you will not be able to leave alive today. I made it clear that in the past, I can't control your life and death, I just acted on orders, and asked Miss Ye not to blame me when she got to the other side! ”

The middle-aged man on the second floor immediately shouted at Ye Nianchen: "I don't know if Miss Ye has any last words that need to be explained, if there is, just come through the channel, I can promise to relay it for you." ”

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be tempted again, maybe you really have such a good intention, but the emperor will never let you give me such a chance again. I've been here for a long time, and I've seen everything I should have seen, and if I had any backup, I wouldn't be surrounded by anything. ”

Ye Nianchen said with a smile, his expression was indescribably calm, as if he was not facing a bow and arrow weapon, and he did not have the slightest worry about his life.

"What a smart girl, I really don't have to say anything about this thought!" The middle-aged man was amazed at the moment, and said with emotion: "You are not wrong, I did have the intention of tempting to see if you still have a back hand." It stands to reason that this should be an unnecessary worry, but you are still so calm and calm when you arrive here, it doesn't seem like you are pretending to be forced at all, and you have to make me more cautious! After all, people like Sanniang Mazi have so easily lost their lives to you, how can I not learn a lesson? ”

"Listening to the words of the adults, I know that the adults led people to ambush before, there should be other preparations, I'm afraid that arrangements have been made in advance in case someone rescues me, right?" Ye Nianchen ignored most of the back half of the man's words, but grabbed his sentence "It stands to reason that you don't have to worry" to question.

"Miss Ye guessed well, I found that talking to smart people is really a very comfortable and refreshing thing, and it is even more so to talk to such a beautiful smart woman!"

The middle-aged man did not deny it, nor did he intend to hide it, but said confidently: "Since this is the case, then I will not hide it from you." The eldest lady has a lot of helpers around her, and the many guards in the mansion are all elite soldiers, so of course they have to be intercepted in advance to avoid bad things. Now that no one has come to the rescue, it seems that my people are doing a good job! (To be continued.) )
