The palace gate of Yurun Palace was wide open, and when they came in, there was a team of palace guards with fire staff and bright armor, and then a group of gray-clothed eunuchs with cold expressions. Inside and outside the palace gate, archers with bows and arrows immediately seized various advantageous control points.

"Are you all dead? When you enter the door, it is like a stake! A red-clothed eunuch in his early forties, with a round face and white skin, and a rich appearance, crossed the high threshold with his calves and stomach, and scolded the team that suddenly stopped in front of him at the same time.

The little chamberlain with the organic spirit took a few steps back and tugged at his sleeve.

After being frightened by the assassins, the emperor appointed Hu Jin, the great eunuch of the palace, to see the situation in the empty palace courtyard clearly, his eyelids jumped, and he stepped forward with a sneer.

There was a corpse lying across the courtyard, and on the side of the corpse was standing Lu Zheng, who was dressed in a purple robe, and the silver-haired old man looked indifferent, only reaching out to caress the little mink in his arms, and did not raise his eyes to look at people at all.

"Hu Jin! You've come just in time. Let's explain to our family, when will the search of the inner palace be handed over to the outer court guards? ”

Hu Jin took a sip secretly, bent down and saluted with a smile and said, "Master, we all did according to Bixia's will." ”。 Liu Renhe, the head of the guard, is also the uncle of Empress Liu's family, and the Liu family, who is trusted today, does not pay much attention to the rule that foreign men are not allowed to enter the inner palace, and Hu Jin, who has been placed next to the current son since he left the school, naturally does not care about these "little things".

Although there is a distinction between master and apprentice, Hu Jin thinks that he is different from Lu Zheng, who should have gone to guard the tomb of Xiaozong, at least they are not loyal to the same king. An old man like Lu Zheng, who is nostalgic for the old days, should have been eliminated a long time ago.

It's just the little thing in his arms. Hu Jin glanced at Amethyst, and his bent waist showed even more humble deference. "Grandpa Lu, why did your old man come here again?"

"Amethyst found a poisonous woman, and our family came to kill her." , Lu Zheng responded lightly. Raising his thick boots, he gestured in the direction of the corpse.

"Father-in-law is affected!" , Hu Jin smiled and took Lu Zheng's arm, chattering and drinking, not only letting Lu Zheng return to the Matsuzaki Courtyard where he lived, but also arranging for the attendants to carefully search the Yurun Palace.

"We don't need anyone to send it! You did your own errands. ”。 Lu Zheng's white eyebrows twisted a thick brush, shook his hands dissatisfied, and shouted to the main hall of the palace that was still dark: "Dachen, go back with our family." ”

The moon was cold, and a black figure stood up silently at the top of the eaves, as if it had grown out of thin air. The people of Yurun Palace, who were already silent, couldn't help but shrink their pores.

The people on the eaves didn't come down, just like shadows, they followed Lu Zheng steadily towards the figure of the palace gate, and slowly walked along the ridge towards the wide open palace gate......

"Grandpa Lu!". Seeing that Lu Zheng was about to walk out of the gate of Yurun Palace with a "shadow", Hu Jin dodged, his figure fluttered like a leaf, and he stood in front of Lu Zheng, raising a right hand.

The arrows inside and outside the palace were all aimed at the strange black shadow under the signal.

"Hu Jin, what do you mean?" , Lu Zheng's white eyebrows trembled. Shrieked questions.

"Master! Since the Chen Dynasty produced the country, the secret guards in the palace have been divided into twenty-eight nights. As early as the Yongde period. Emperor Meng Xian loved it, so we led the White Tiger Guards by Bixia's side. Later, when the first emperor went, you followed the will and handed over the Vermilion Bird Guard to Xiao Yu's hands, and now Xuanwu guards the Luojing Palace, and only Qinglong ......"

"Hu Jin! Our family has long told you that according to the rules of the ancestors, the duties of the four guards cannot belong to the same person. Don't be greedy! ”

"Father-in-law Lu. The little ones are just a little curious. Hu Jin looked up at the black shadow standing with his sword raised in the high place and smiled: "It's not a secret, the special search Yurun Palace received a letter that an assassin came here." The father-in-law is holding on to Qinglongwei, Hu Jin has never seen a person, and he always feels that he should recognize someone. Save yourself from misunderstandings in the future. Especially the father-in-law called this one is the great day of the heart! ”

The most special of the Seven Nakshatras of the Eastern Green Dragon, the main star Dahuo, also known as Dachen, is the appearance of the emperor star of the sky according to the ancient star law. Since the founding of the Chen Dynasty, except for a secret guard with a special identity who had this name during the Gaozu period, there has never been a second person in a hundred years, but he felt that calling him by another name would tarnish his identity, so he accidentally blurted it out for a while.

Lu Zheng forcibly suppressed the annoyance surging in his heart, raised his wrist, and lightly slapped his palm.

The black shadow standing in the sky listened to the sound and landed proudly, wrapped in black from head to toe, and covered with a black scarf on its face, revealing only a pair of eyes, clear and clear.

According to his figure, which coincided with the secret report that was handed into the palace, Hu Jin's eyelids jumped in ecstasy, and he said to Lu Zheng in a calm tone: "Father-in-law, can you let him take off his scarf and let us take a look." ”。 If it is really a picture man as he guessed, then this time the harvest is not just an assassin.

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man with a face cover, and nodded slowly.

A black cloth reached mid-knuckle palm and slowly unfastened it, and several illuminated torches followed the movements of the masked man's fingertips.

Under the bright light, there is nothing to hide......

Hu Jin gasped, took a step back, and then, but rushed forward fiercely and kneaded the side of his neck with his fingers, trying to find the flaw in the mask. The young man standing in front of him still calmly looked at the image reflected in his pupils, not dodging or dodging.

The face in front of me didn't look like a human at all.

From the neck to the top of the neck was a dense red lump, and on the left side of the face, a purple-black hard scab was born, from the top of the jaw to the edge of the eye socket. The unreasonable swelling makes people's nose and mouth show a kind of distorted sideways, which is very terrifying.

"Anyone who is selected into the Qinglong Guard, Heart, and Tail will be subjected to perennial medicinal baths and erosion, and once they can't resist, they will be disfigured and die. However, Hu Jin, you seem to have been unqualified and screened out at the initial inspection, right? Lu Zheng stood beside the ugly man in black, and stretched out his hand as if to help him untie more for others to see.

The little mink amethyst jumped on the shoulders of the man in black and stared at Hu Jin with fierce eyes.

Hu Jin bowed his head respectfully......

The tired sun yawned and climbed up to the sky, powerlessly holding on to a bleak and gloomy sky, and the autumn clouds were overcast.

In the Matsuzaki courtyard of the Xiakou Palace, Amethyst had just killed a bird that was chirping on the tree, and the small courtyard was very cold, and the closed doors and windows were even more gloomy.

A sizzling breath rang in Lu Zheng's ears.

"Get out!" , Lu Zheng, who was holding the medicine skewer, glared fiercely at the godsun Lu Shou who made a sound, and then turned to Xiao Hong, who had been calmly closing his eyes, and his old eyes were even more angry.

"How dare that woman do this to you! How could you have thought of smearing red spider venom on your face! As a person who serves poison, Lu Zheng found out that Xiao Hong was poisoned in Yurun Palace, but when he brought people back for a detailed examination, he found that the poison temporarily used for disfigurement was really domineering.

"With this kind of poison, it should be that she has no choice when she is in a hurry, right?" Although he has not officially looked in the mirror, from the eyes of others, Xiao Hong still understands how ugly and ugly he is now.

At that time, it was really urgent, the palace gate was about to break, and Lu Zheng only had time to explain a sentence to cover his head and face and wait for the plane to go with him. When Lu Zheng was dealing with others, Man Yun, who dragged him into the house, stretched out a hand and wiped his face and helped him tie a face towel. Without even saying a word, he pushed him out of the room.

"That woman was so willing!" , Lu Zheng felt distressed and gently smeared the milky white ointment on the black scab on Xiao Hong's face, kind and careful. The face eroded by the venom is a little light in his life that can be redeemed, and he will not allow anyone to destroy it.

"Grandpa Lu, it's none of her business. If you have a way, can you ...... it", there was a coolness on the burning face, Xiao Hong pondered his words, trying to convince the old eunuch in front of him who seemed to be too good to him, his eyes flashed.

"Sixth son! You can call the old slave Lu Wu directly! Lu Zheng sighed and said, "No one is worthy of your help and help, and it is not worth your crying and begging......"

Lu ...... Lu Wu, she is my wife, fiancée! The corners of Xiao Hong's mouth twitched, he held Lu Zheng's old hand, and said in a low voice: "Her name is Zhou Manyun, the granddaughter of Zhou Shirong, and the only daughter of Zhou Zhe and Zhou Chizhai." Last year, we had already decided to be married, and if it weren't for the death of Mr. Zhou, she would have been my wife. ”

It was Zhou Manyun who chose to believe in this old eunuch first, and he extended his trust even further. If you ask for help, you will be treated with sincerity, and he wants the old man to understand his heart.

"She is here for the old things that Zhou Zhe killed in the Great Ci'en Temple in the fifteenth year of Yongde? So you want to assassinate the emperor? Lu Zheng's old eyes were mixed with a sad cold color.

Xiao Hong hesitated, then nodded.

"As long as things are done, they leave traces. If you don't want people to know, unless you don't ...... it", Lu Zheng sighed and stared at Xiao Hong's eyes.

The originally handsome face is now like a demon, but a pair of eyes are still as bright as stars, and they are open to the heart.

"There are so many good women in the world! You have to be her! Lu Zheng turned his head sideways and muttered dissatisfiedly, and then changed to a solemn face and solemnly demanded: "If she has to get off, you will take her away immediately, and you must not stay in the palace." If she kills the monarch again, our family will not give her a second chance. ”

Xiao Hong relaxed his tense body with relief, pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and smiled brightly.

"Grandpa!" , Lu Shou, who knocked on the door and was called in, stood by the door hesitantly, peeked at Xiao Hong, and said quickly: "Grandpa!" The chief manager of Ganghu sent someone to summon him, saying that he wanted you to bring the secret guard Dachen to the Yuzao Palace, and Bixia wanted to judge the assassination last night. ”

Lu Zheng's hand supported the table, and he slowly stood up, his white eyebrows shaking.

Emperor Taiye came from the north to encounter eight or nine assassinations, but this time he actually had to be tried in person, or in the Yuzao Palace of Concubine Zhang.

The silver-haired old man, who had always been strong, suddenly felt a mouthful of turbid blood turn over his throat, leaned forward sharply, and grabbed Xiao Hong's palm tightly. (To be continued......)
