Chapter 33: Chestnuts in the Fire

After half a pillar of incense, Twilight Jiuge and Beitang Ao reappeared at the door of the Praetorian Guard barracks.

"Stop!"

The two did not hide their whereabouts this time, and were easily discovered by the guards at the door, who stopped them by drinking.

Twilight Jiu Ge instantly pretended to be frightened and eager, and stepped forward and grabbed the guard's sleeve, "Big brother, I am by the side of the crown prince, I have something important to ask to see the commander of the guard, and I am bothered to report to the eldest brother." ”

The guard looked the woman in front of her up and down, she was wearing a palace maid's clothes, her hair was a little messy, her face was a little dull, and a little dirty, as if she had fought with someone, but the facial features were very exquisite, especially a pair of eyes, which were bright and made people's hearts tremble.

The guard was suspicious, "Are you from the prince's side?" What is the matter with the Commander? The prince always sends the Longyan brothers here when he has something to do, why would he call you a little girl today? ”

Seeing that the guards were very defensive, Twilight Jiu Ge didn't know if the dragon rock in his mouth was real, and if he accidentally made a mistake, he would be doomed. Thinking only in a blink of an eye, her face became more urgent, and she shook her head vigorously, "It's urgent!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only asked me to hand over the secret letter to the Commander, how could he tell me specifically? As for the Long Yan you mentioned, I don't know him. I am the prince's person in the palace, and I rarely see people in the palace. ”

The guard looked at Twilight Jiuge again, still skeptical, "You said you were the person next to the prince?" There can be tokens, otherwise how can I trust you? ”

Seeing that he had begun to believe in himself, Twilight Jiu Ge was overjoyed, and his face immediately changed to a thin and angry expression, "Long-winded! Can you afford to delay a big event? Look at it! ”

As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and held it in her palm for the guards to see. The guard looked at it, and he could see the jade pendant carved with the two seal characters of "East Palace". Just as he wanted to turn it over and take a closer look, Twilight Jiu Ge suddenly withdrew his hand and said impatiently, "Have you finished reading it?" If you don't inform me, I'll go back and tell His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that I can't see the Lord Commander in a whisper, and ask him to come in person! ”

This jade pendant was brought on her body when she woke up, and she thought it should be a gift from Cang Rinxiao. However, Twilight had accidentally seen the token that was too conceited, and the back was exactly the same as this one, but the front was completely different. This jade pendant is carved with a peony flower on the front, and the token is a "ling" character.

This is too serious, how can the little guard afford it, and he hurriedly apologized with a smile. It's just that he still didn't want to let Twilight Jiuge in, thought about it, and said, "In that case, how about asking the girl to give me the letter and the subordinates to pass it on to the Commander-in-Chief?" ”

"To you?" Twilight Jiu Ge suddenly clenched her chest, looking like she was afraid that others would rob her of things, her eyes were wary and sharp, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed me to hand it over to the Lord Commander in person, and not to fake anyone's hand halfway. How do I know if you are someone else's work, I will give it to you? ”

The guards didn't react for a while, and said, "How can I be fine?" I am loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"It's good to be loyal!" Twilight Jiu Ge unceremoniously pushed the guard away and swaggered inside, and Beitang Ao, who was wearing a guard's costume behind him, hurriedly followed.

"Who is he, he can't enter!" The guards reacted at this moment, and the spear blocked Beitangao's way.

Beitang Ao's eyes moved, this Praetorian Guard commander Zhou Mingkang is extraordinary, if Du Jiuge enters alone, it is okay to want to fight with him for a while, but if he wants to take it down in one move, it is absolutely impossible, but now he is stopped outside......

Twilight Jiu Ge turned his head and looked at the spear blocking Beitang Ao's body, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes sharpened, "Do you know who he is, and you dare to stop him?" ”

As she spoke, she unceremoniously raised her hand and waved the guard's spear impatiently, "This is the first secret guard beside the prince, and he usually protects the prince in the dark, and today is a big deal, so the prince asked him to accompany me to protect the safety of this secret letter, you stopped him, wouldn't it make him unable to protect the secret letter at close range, and you still said that you are not a meticulous worker?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the guard's reaction time, he raised his chin at Beitang proudly, "This big brother, you have a big ** amount, please don't worry about them generally." When I met Commander Zhou, everything was clear. ”

The guard was originally frozen on the ground, and it was not impossible to stop it, and Du Jiu Ge's tough and straightforward appearance made him really dare not start, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it, he might not be able to save his life......

Hearing Twilight Jiu Ge say this, the guards suddenly brightened, yes, the commander is superb in martial arts, and there are few opponents in the world, whether these two people are the prince's side, he knows at a glance. At that time, if they are fakes, they will definitely die at the hands of the Commander, and if they are real, they will also be selling a favor......

Thinking of this, the guard hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "What the two of you said is that since there is a token of His Royal Highness the Prince, the subordinates have no reason to doubt it, two of you, please, the Lord Commander is in the palace." ”

Twilight Jiuge and Beitang looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Zhou Mingkang was a middle-aged man over thirty years old, with a pair of eyes as intimidating as eagles, staring directly at Du Jiu Ge, as if he could see her through, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”

He didn't check his identity, but asked as soon as he opened his mouth, but Twilight Jiuge didn't think that this person didn't suspect the identity of her and Beitang Ao, but felt that he had seen through them.

"The prince has a secret letter for you." Now, without much thought, Twilight Jiu Ge held her breath and continued to play the role of a weak palace maid, taking out the envelope from her arms and respectfully presenting it with both hands.

Zhou Mingkang glanced at Du Jiu Ge lightly and reached out to pick it up.

There was a sudden crack in the air, and the crack opened, swallowing the letter of Zhou Mingkang violently, and then closing it again.

An enchantment that could not be seen by the naked eye had cut off Zhou Mingkang and the letters he had received from this world. All you can see is a faint red light around you.

Zhou Mingkang also seemed to feel that something was wrong for a moment, but he didn't know what was wrong. He didn't bother to open the letter, but wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered.

Now is the time!

Beitang's five fingers were like claws, and lightning shot at Zhou Mingkang's throat.

And that person was worthy of the position of commander, he actually felt the danger at the moment when Beitang Ao's fingertips were about to touch his skin, and turned slightly to the side.

He sensed the danger!

You must know that the barrier of the Nine Songs of the Twilight can isolate all human feelings, and create the illusion that people cannot even notice that they are in the barrier. At this time, Zhou Mingkang's heart should be checking the secret letter from Cang Lingxiao asking him to lead people to rush into the state banquet hall, instead of perceiving the killing of Zhou.

For a moment, the red light emitted by the barrier suddenly weakened.

Twilight Jiu Ge's skills are still shallow, and it is quite difficult for her to support such a powerful enchantment, especially the stronger the trapped person's cultivation, the more difficult it will be, and now in just a few minutes, the enchantment has weakened.

As soon as the barrier is weak, the trapped person will be able to perceive the breath of the outside world more clearly.

Seeing this, Beitang Ao attacked more aggressively, but fortunately, Zhou Mingkang was trapped, and he could only dodge with his senses, but he couldn't attack. Beitang Ao has always had the upper hand, but he has never been able to kill him!

Twilight Jiuge couldn't help but start to get anxious.

If this continues, the barrier will soon collapse, and if you still can't kill him, the time will be ...... She could almost predict that she and Beitang Ao would definitely die a miserable death.

After thinking about it, Twilight Jiuge pinched the enchantment finger with one hand and pulled out the dagger stuck in his boot with the other.

The aura on Beitang Ao's body is too obvious, and her aura is integrated with the enchantment itself, even if it brings out a murderous aura, it is not very obvious, and with Beitang Ao's interference, he may not be able to perceive it......

Twilight Jiuge thought as she tentatively stabbed her dagger at the leader of the Praetorian Guard.

However, to Twilight Jiuge's surprise, her dagger only had time to cut through the skin of the Praetorian Guard leader, and he quickly dodged it.

It's a pity, it's just a skin trauma.

Seeing that the red light of the enchantment was getting weaker and weaker, and it was almost crumbling, Twilight Jiuge was in a hurry, and the dagger in his hand stabbed more quickly, completely trying to stab him with the mentality of a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

And the effect is of course obvious, the leader of the Praetorian Guard in the enchantment was almost stabbed into a hedgehog, and his whole body was wounded, but none of them were injured, and he was on the verge of rage.

Seeing this, Twilight Jiu Ge suddenly had a plan, she turned her head and wanted to call Beitang Ao, but found that Beitang Ao also turned her head to look at her at the same time. She knew right away that they wanted to go together!

Twilight Jiuge carefully controlled the fingers in his hand, and at the same time, Beitang Ao also gathered all his strength and waited for the time to deliver a killing blow to the Praetorian Guard Commander. Seeing that he was ready, Twilight Jiu Ge carefully tore a crack in the enchantment quickly!

The roar of the Praetorian Guard commander rang out!

However, the roar had barely made a syllable before it stuck in his throat, for a dagger had been stuck in the back of his neck.

The dagger has no body, leaving only the hilt. And the tip of the knife, pierced from the Adam's apple of the leader of the Praetorian Guard.

The moment Twilight Nine Song tore open the enchantment, the leader of the Praetorian Guard suddenly sensed the powerful murderous aura from Beitang Ao in his roar, and this powerful aura completely covered the aura of Twilight Nine Song's dagger.

It was behind her that she succeeded in one blow.

There was a knock at the door, accompanied by a suspicious inquiry from the guard, "Commander, what's going on?" Do you want the brothers to come in? ”

Twilight Jiu Ge and Beitang Ao looked at the leader of the Praetorian Guard who was already angry on the ground, and glanced at each other, Beitang Ao sat down, and suddenly changed his voice, "Stand down!" ”

It was none other than Zhou Mingkang, the leader of the Praetorian Guard.

A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Twilight Jiuge's mouth.

That's right, she had already discovered the ventriloquism of Beitang Aohui.

Although I don't know how he can be a dignified prince with this kind of skill, there is no doubt that this is very useful at a critical moment.

After half a pillar of incense, Twilight Jiuge walked out of the door with the "Praetorian Guard" commander and inspected the neat and brave Praetorian Guards in front of him. Smile.

Very well, these people will use their own blood today to wash away the filth deposited in the Yanhua regime.

Human life is precious, and Twilight Jiuge has always been respectful, but in front of the important weapons of the state, everything is too small, and she has compassion in her heart, but she does not flood the Virgin.

"Well, what about the brother who went in with this girl just now?" The guard who had stopped Twilight at the door earlier spoke in confusion.

Twilight Jiu Ge glared, "Didn't they tell you that he was the prince's secret guard?" If you don't even have the ability to come and go in secret, how can you protect it secretly? Do you want to see him? Ask the prince in person, and he will be happy to let the secret guard come out to see you! ”
