Li Gai stood under a big tree on the side of the road on the outskirts of Beijing, pacing back and forth faster and faster.

It's been a sunny day these days, and today he only feels extremely irritable. His current method of internal operation is enough to resist the scorching climate, but the scorching sun in this spring is not enough for him to contend with, nor is he anxious because the person who has been waiting for a long time has not arrived, in fact, he is almost used to the fact that the person is late in this matter.

His abundant self-confidence made him not have such an uneasy feeling for a long time.

A subordinate approached with a bowl of water, Li Gai took the bowl and took a sip of water, his irritability decreased slightly, and he asked, "Haven't you seen the frame of Your Majesty?" ”

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don't know what the report will be later, maybe the emperor suddenly encountered something and stumped over it today, right?" I heard that there have been a lot of foreign envoys coming these days. ”

"In that case, why do you choose to go there on this day?" Li Gai was puzzled, handed back the water bowl, and he looked sideways in the direction of the road he came from.

After waiting for a few more moments, he saw a figure galloping from that direction, and it was the third time he had gone to investigate.

The road detective's reply made Li Gai frown, he did not continue to wait after hesitating, but mounted his horse, ordered five attendants from the group brought today, and galloped back in the direction of the road he came.

On the way back to the city, he still didn't see the frame that made him wait for nearly two hours, and returned to the city directly from the passage of the city defense department, and Li Gai took the five people directly into the palace.

Leaving five attendants on the way, he avoided all the palace guards and palace people by himself on a route that he had not taken for a long time, and went directly into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, he climbed on the beam of the room and saw the emperor sitting at the desk, looking at a pile of folds.

He was not happy with the result.

Floating gently from the beam, Li Gai landed on one knee. Bow down.

It had been a long time since he had met Li Gai in this way, and the emperor was also surprised, so he immediately put down the fold, got up and helped Li Gai, and wondered: "Why did you suddenly come here?" ”

Li Gai was also stunned when he heard this, and then took out a bright yellow brocade from his arms and handed it over, "Doesn't Your Majesty know yet?" ”

The emperor shook off the brocade and glanced at it, and suddenly said, "Who is it?" Falsified my secret will. ”

Li Gai's brows twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "It should be said that who has the ability to forge it." Who is willing to trick me out of Beijing for what purpose? ”

The emperor also noticed that Li Gai was not wearing an official uniform, and the soles of his shoes were full of mud, so he should have gone to the suburbs of Beijing to walk around before coming back. He couldn't help frowning and said, "The third child is back this year, if I want to go there, I must take him with me, and there are many of his friends there." ”

"If I didn't have the slightest doubt, I wouldn't have received the secret order. It was not destroyed immediately. Li Gai clenched his fists and said, "It's just that I questioned too little." ”

"Let's not mention that yet." After pacing a few steps in front of the desk, the emperor raised his head and said solemnly: "Forged a secret decree to lead you out of Beijing, either for me, or for the third child, so you hurry over now." ”

"Okay." Li Gai turned around and left. When he was about to go out, he turned around again and said, "What are you going to do when I'm gone?" ”

"Most of the palace guards were trained by you, so I'm not worried. You don't care what I do. He said, opened a drawer, took out a token and threw it to Li Gai, and said, "When necessary, don't be jealous." ”

Ligai nodded. Push the door and go out.

Standing outside the study are still the two eunuchs carefully selected and cultivated by Gonggong Hai, who have long known the relationship between Li Gai and the current emperor. and a special way of meeting, so when they saw Li Gai walking out of the study, but couldn't remember when he entered, the two of them were just surprised for a moment, and then bowed their heads to show respect.

After seeing Li Gai leave, they listened to the sound of falling books in the study, and their shoulders trembled.

"A bunch of dross, when I find you out, I won't spare it!"

……

Mo Ye ran into the study and rushed to the long flat box, just messing around, and even let her accidentally touch the gate of the open box.

The lid of the box flicked open with a certain force, startling her, and at the same time, all the tools in the box were scattered, which made it easy for her to distinguish the diamond-shaped wooden block.

Grabbing the piece of wood, which was heavier than usual, and taking an iron cone, she left the study and went straight to the compartment across the door.

The structure of this house is basically the same as that of the house in Xingjia Village, and at this time, she has also remembered what Lin Shan said about the mystery of this compartment.

Therefore, Mo Ye, who was squatting at the door of the compartment, began to use the iron cone in his hand to frantically pry up the stone bricks on the ground. She originally wanted to knock on the ground to find the sound first, but the noise from outside the house was too loud for her to calm down, so she could only take this more brutal method.

Fortunately, she chose the correct position, and after prying two stone bricks, she finally saw the mechanical cave buried in the ground.

After holding her breath deeply, she quickly recalled what Lin Shan had told her, then tightened her grip on the iron cone, pried a piece of metal from the inner wall in the hole, and stuffed the wooden block in her hand.

After she pulled out the iron cone in her hand, and when the wooden block completely matched the three walls of the cave entrance, she suddenly felt a vibration from the ground.

Just when she was slightly stunned, Lin Shan, who was blocking the back door, suddenly ran over, kicked open the wooden door of the compartment, and at the same time grabbed Mo Ye's belt from behind and threw her in.

At the same time, the walls of the compartment suddenly collapsed from the inside out. To be precise, the four walls were crushed by several metal columns that popped out of the base of the walls, and the metal mesh walls replaced the original brick and earth walls.

However, the walls of the four-sided metal structure only rose less than three feet before they suddenly stopped, and then something suddenly popped out of the hole that had just been filled in by Mo Ye into the wooden block.

Lin Shan looked at the half-cut piece of wood that popped out of the hole and fell to the ground, and his heart suddenly felt cold. He didn't have time to think about anything, he suddenly crumpled the soft sword in his hand into a ball, stuffed it into the crypt, and then raised the other long sword made by Ke Jian, and poked the sword ball close to the crypt.

The four metal mesh walls that had been paused finally continued to rise again after making a "clicking" sound.

"Stay inside, I'll pick you up later." Lin Shan shouted at Mo Ye, who was squatting in the net, and then held the long sword in his hand and ran into the group of killers who rushed in from the gate.

One sword, two swords...... I don't know how many swords he swung, Lin Shan began to feel a feeling of weakness in the injured shoulder, and the hastily bandaged wound cracked open again, and the blood seemed to flow faster than just now.

One step, two steps...... Mo Ye, who was sitting on the ground with his knees crossed, looked at the murderous back of his master, and every step he took needed to kill more people to cut through the obstruction. His sword always landed on the opponent's body so accurately in the deadly area, but gradually, the opponent's sword edge touched his body, bringing a trace of blood foam.

I wonder how long it will last?

Since the scream just now caused him to grab the sword with his bare hands, causing more wounds on his fingers, she didn't dare to shout any more, and bit her lip fiercely.

You can't help yourself, at least don't be a burden, right?

For a moment, Mo Ye thought of the word 'death', and she suddenly noticed the iron cone lying at her feet, and when she was thrown here by Lin Shan just now, the iron cone in her hand fell nearby.

She picked up the cone and clenched it tightly, but she found that her hands were shaking no matter how hard she tried.

She suddenly thought again: If such a blunt awl hadn't stabbed herself to death at once, wouldn't it be even more burdensome to the master?

As she thought of the need for a sharper knife, she suddenly remembered the paper cutter she had sewn with her own hands on the inside of her undergarment.

But just as she was about to reach for it, she suddenly saw that one of the net walls on her side had somehow not risen to the same height as the other three walls, and that a masked assassin had climbed up on the net wall, which was nearly half lower.

Mo Ye was horrified, and before he could think about it, he grabbed the iron cone on the ground and threw it at the masked assassin.

The iron cone smashed too far, but it slammed into Lin Shan's feet from behind him, and he also saw the assassin climbing on top of the net wall, and before the man could jump off the wall, the blunt sword in his hand flew out.

Like the earliest flying sword killing, the assassin was instantly pierced through the chest by Lin Shan's blunt sword, and the force of the sword carried him down from the top of the metal mesh wall, and he fell to Mo Ye's side.

His purpose of pounceing on Mo Ye was achieved, but he could no longer stab the blade in his hand to threaten Mo Ye in the slightest.

Lin Shan threw the only sword in his hand, but at this time, his back to the empty room was not like the first time he threw the sword, but his back was to a sword net like a soul-devouring ghost, just a moment of negligence, and there were suddenly a few more wounds on his back.

Turning over on the ground, Lin Shan frowned and gasped, he was thinking about getting a sword weapon nearby, when he suddenly felt that his body was light, and he was carried by someone and swept up the net wall.

After he saw that the person who grabbed his shirt was Qiao Cui, he was thrown into the net wall by Qiao Cui like he had just thrown Mo Ye.

Qiao Cui grinned and said, "Stay inside, I'll come and pick you up soon." ”

The heavy fall affected the wounds on his back and shoulder, and Lin Shan pulled the corners of his mouth and shouted, "Don't learn from me!" ”

It's just that Qiao Cui shouldn't have heard what he said, because before Qiao Cui finished his words, he had already slid down the ground against the net wall, rushed towards the front gate, and fought with Jiang Chao who rushed in from the outside.

The narrow compartment was shrouded in four net walls, protecting Lin Shan and Mo Ye in it, and also trapped the pace of their departure.

At this time, outside the criss-crossing metal mesh, most of the assassins who were dressed in black in broad daylight and armed with sharp blades were entangled by Jiang Chao and Qiao Cui, otherwise if these people were surrounded together, just throwing lancets and water chestnut shuttles would be enough for Lin Shan.
