After returning to the Li Mansion, after Ye Bai also separated from Li Zi, Ye Bai walked all the way to his hut in the Li Mansion, and after closing the door, Ye Bai sat on the bed and looked at the silver wolf staff that emitted a cold silver light next to his bed.

Father, he left this thing to me, it should have something else.

Lying on the bed, Ye Bai closed his eyes, and for a moment it seemed to return to his childhood.

But then, this dream changed suddenly, and for a moment, Ye Bai only felt a black mist in front of his eyes, and a chill faintly emanated in the black room.

A pair of evil eyes opened suddenly, Ye Bai was directly frightened awake, and kept panting, this feeling of being in a different world made Ye Bai a little unable to distinguish what was reality and what was a dream.

Looking at the dim room in front of him, only the silver wolf staff did not emit silver light, Ye Bai took a deep breath, lay down again and closed his eyes.

This time, Ye Bai quickly fell asleep.

At this time, on the eaves of Ye Bai's hut, the man in black pried open a brick, and through the faint candlelight in the house, he saw Ye Bai lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully.

"Bai'er, cherish this short quiet time, the future will be magnificent, and you need to be strong to hold on."

After the man in black said this to himself, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and when the man in black looked back, he only saw Li Niu standing not far away staring at him.

The pair of dead fish eyes, and Li Niu's somewhat abnormal eyes at this time, made the man in black a little vigilant.

Cautiously jumping off the eaves, the man in black came to Li Niu's side and asked Li Niu

"What's wrong?"

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Niu smiled evilly, his smile was a little frightening, he glanced sideways at the room where Ye Bai was sleeping, and then looked at the man in black again, and continued

"What did you just say on the eaves?"

"What does it have to do with you? Do you know who you are now? ”

Li Niu's face suddenly became hideous, one arm was raised slightly, and on his palm, he held a waist card, Li Niu raised this waist card in front of the man in black, and said meaningfully to the man in black

"Do you recognize this token?"

This token is also the exclusive waist card of Nanli Jinyi Wei Yamen, Mao Xinyu was relying on this waist card when Dongxun and Zhou Budo recognized each other, and the same is true of Qi Wuxian's Qianhu waist card.

It's just that unlike Mao Xinyu and Qi Wuxi, this waist card is only engraved with the three words Jinyiwei, and there are no other words.

But after Li Niu took out this waist card and was clearly seen by the man in black, a trace of horror jumped in the eyes of the man in black, but soon, the man in black pretended to be fine, and replied in a very flat tone

"Jinyiwei's waist card, why is it in your hand?"

"Jie Ji, this question is interesting, then why don't I ask you, why did you accidentally throw this waist card of the brocade guard on the ground so carelessly?"

Li Niu's face became more and more evil, and he was just two people when he was reprimanded by Steward Li in the former mansion and Li Er.

The man in black turned cold, and without hesitation, he pulled out a dagger from his waist, but when he pulled out the dagger, he only felt a cold on his neck, and then came back to his senses.

Li Er's face was like an iceberg and he walked out from behind the man in black, and the short sword in his hand stayed at a distance of three centimeters from the neck of the man in black.

"What's wrong? Want to kill me? Hehehe, I really didn't expect that, as the general's right-hand man, you would actually be the death sent by Nanli Jinyiwei, I believe that if this matter is reported to the general, the general will definitely reward my two brothers with a lot of heavenly snake incense. ”

The man in black raised his head slightly, trying his best to control his body, and the short sword that had to be held at his neck was always kept at a safe distance from him, and quickly, the man in black threw the dagger he was holding in his hand on the ground, his hands were empty, and he said in a somewhat cold tone

"I'd like to ask you how you can be sure that the brocade guard's waist card fell from me, you must know that if I die here, the general will not let you two brothers have a good time."

Bang bang bang.

Li Niu smiled and clapped his palms, looked at the man in black with some praise, and spat into the eyes of the man in black, and said

"You, you, do you know that the general began to doubt your identity half a year ago? The reason why the general sent you to carry out this mission is to let my two brothers secretly monitor your every move, Jiji, we won't sell it to you, this brocade guard waist card is what I just stole from you, now, what else do you have to say? ”

Hearing Li Niu say this, the face of the man in black turned slightly cold, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

But Li Niu felt that the man in black had accepted his fate, so he chuckled and shook his head, put the brocade guard waist card back into his arms, and then said to himself boredly

"Kill him, take his head, and the general will be happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Niu turned around and wanted to stretch his waist, but before he could finish stretching, suddenly, Li Niu's body trembled, and he lowered his head to see why an arrow appeared on his stomach?

But before Li Niu could think about it, the next second, he only felt that he had fallen to the ground.

Something strange happened to him, why did he now watch his body slowly fall to the ground?

It's a pity that Li Niu passed away completely with doubtful thoughts.

And Li Er, holding the short sword that was still dripping blood downward, looked at Li Niu in the first two places of his body with dead eyes.

The man in black also shook his head slightly, opened his eyes, bent down and picked up the dagger he had just thrown on the ground and put it back on his waist, took two steps forward, and gently patted Li Er's shoulder with one palm, and said to him

"This feeling is not pleasant."

Li Er didn't speak, just lowered his head and sighed.

"Your brother, he has been completely controlled by the Heavenly Snake Incense, killing him can be regarded as giving him a relief, you don't have to blame yourself."

The man in black squatted down and took out his waist card from Li Niu's arms, opened his mouth and blew some dust on the waist card, and then reached out to wipe it, and carefully stuffed it back into the mezzanine of his clothes.

"I want to take a break."

Li Er finally spoke, but at this time, when he said this, Li Er's expression revealed a trace of sadness that could not be hidden.

"Yes, take your brother and go to Jiaozhou, I will have someone arrange it for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Er stepped forward and picked up his brother's still dead head with both hands, and after meeting the eyes of the dead fish, Li Er also felt an inexplicable emptiness for the first time.

And the man in black also shook his head slightly, Li Er no longer turned around, and the short sword was also thrown by him on the ground on the side, at this time, he just held his brother's head with both hands, and walked into the distance alone.

And when Li Er walked away, the man in black took out a small bottle from his arms, and after opening the cap, the man in black poured some of the liquid in the small bottle on Li Niu's body.

As soon as this liquid touched Li Niu's body, Li Niu's body was quickly corroded by these liquids.

In a few breaths, Li Niu's body was completely corroded by this liquid, and even the bones were left.

On that land, it was as if nothing had happened, but the difference was that if you put your palm on this land, you could still feel some wetness from it.

After doing this, the man in black covered the small bottle with the cap and put it back in his arms, and then out of nowhere, a well-dressed young man came out.

The young man rolled his eyes, looked at the man in black helplessly, and said to him with disdain

"How did you manage to be targeted and not found out? If you're old, say it quickly, and I'll tell you about it. ”

The man in black turned his head and glanced at the young man impatiently, and the killing intent in his eyes frightened the young man subconsciously backwards several steps.

"General, one person has died and one person has retired, and the suspicion of me must only be greater, this matter, I need to meet the commander immediately, you can arrange it for me."

"Hey, you guy, I don't know what to say when I ask someone to do something, I'm cheap labor, please, big brother, I haven't been back to see his old man for a long time, his old man has long been dissatisfied with me, you are okay now, let me arrange for you to meet with the commander, brother, don't you want the little brother to be slaughtered by the commander?"

"Will the Commander kill you? Just say a few words about you, you can't stand this cheek? If I want to give up this line, I must take advantage of this juncture to eradicate the general's vein as much as possible, otherwise, if the general's temperament makes him smell any danger, I don't know how many years it will take to catch him next time. ”

"Okay, okay, you are brother, you are brother, I will go back to Jinling in the next two days, I heard that Qi Wuxian that guy has also returned from Dongxun, just let him give the commander a word, and arrange for you to meet with the commander."

After hearing Qi Wuxie's name, the black-clothed man's face suddenly froze, he frowned, and said to the young man with some disbelieving

"Qi Wu hate? He's back from Tosun? Isn't it estimated that it will take at least three months to complete the East Suna matter? It's still a month away. ”

The young man pursed his lips, spread his hands, and rolled his eyes

"How do I know, anyway, anyway, I heard that the task was completed quite well, Kumu and Yulin Wei Heiqi's physical cultivation were all awarded the Pavilion Marquis, and suddenly Xiao was also promoted to the third level, and became the deputy director of the First Division of Zhijin, and the prince of Zhou was also installed by His Majesty as an official position of Shangshutai, by the way, it is said that it was because when they went to Dongxun this time, they suddenly laughed at them and killed twelve grade monks in one go."

As he said this, the young man smacked his lips with some envy and continued

"I really can't imagine it, twelve grade monks, this is a big feat, just in our entire Jinyi Wei Yamen, twelve grade monks are a lot of strength, they, it really makes many people in the court look at them with admiration."

"Good thing."

The man in black threw down this sentence coldly, then straightened out his night clothes, turned his head to look at the young man, and paused to continue

"Let's go, what are you doing in a daze? The only person in Pingyu County who is related to the general is the Pingyu County Lieutenant. ”

The young man followed the steps of the man in black, and after the two of them jumped on the eaves a few times in succession, they disappeared into the night.

At the same time, in the palace of the Nanyue King of Jinling City.

The king of Nanyue lay on the couch weakly, coughed slightly, turned over, and looked at a fat man squatting in front of him, and the king of Nanyue said to the fat man with a pale face

"How's it going?"

"Back to the king, everything is being calculated, there is nothing wrong, and the prince is recuperating from his injuries with peace of mind."

The king of Nanyue coughed a few times again, and then put a somewhat uncomfortable hand on his forehead and said helplessly

"That guy, why do you have to be so serious, just stab one of Lone's arms, why bother, cough cough, and mobilize the sword qi, this is good, the five internal organs of the lone are injured by the sword qi, this taste is really uncomfortable."

The fat man's face was a little embarrassed, he gave it up, and replied embarrassedly to the king of Nanyue

"Lord, Brother Chong did things like this, didn't you accept him as a guest at that time because of Brother Chong's happy temperament, and Lord Wang, you are like this now, don't you also make those people in the court believe in this matter."

However, the king of Nanyue looked a little wrong, sighed slightly, lay down, stared at the ceiling with his eyes, and said helplessly

"You, you're still too naïve, this matter, the old eunuch of Jinyiwei and Gao Biliang, who is in charge of the first division of Jinyi, are both skeptical about this matter, it was originally because he noticed that there were Jinyiwei's spies monitoring the palace on the tea stall outside the palace, so he would let him disguise himself as a killer to assassinate Gu in the palace, so that Jinyiwei would remove Gu from their suspicions, but, no matter how real the thing is, the old eunuch is still so cautious, cough cough, the old eunuch that the emperor relied on at the beginning, The means are still so scary, and the vision is too, as always, the vicious, scheming old eunuch, Lone really doesn't like it. ”

The fat man was a little confused, very puzzled, scratched his head, and asked respectfully to the king of Nanyue

"Lord Wang, at that time, didn't there be a little flag officer who witnessed the scene of your assassination? It's all like this, how can Jin Yiwei still suspect you? It's not the right thing to do, aren't you making too much of a fuss? ”

"You, you're still too young, if that old eunuch was so easily arrested, he wouldn't have sent Wei Zhongxian's guy to monitor outside the palace so far, since Wei Zhongxian is still outside the palace, it means that the old eunuch's suspicion of Gu has not been dispelled."

After that, the king of Nanyue closed his eyes helplessly, he really had a headache now, and he really had nothing to do with that incident, just because he was worried that his imperial brother would have nothing to do with him even if he finally found out about the incident, but he would also put the charge on his head, so that he could completely eradicate himself through the charge.

It was because he was worried about this that he asked one of his disciples to disguise himself as a person who came to assassinate him at this moment, and before the assassination, he also specially found out the smoke left by the Jinyi Guard, who was codenamed Wei, and also let his doorman leave the unique killing method of the Jinyi Guard, thinking that maybe he could shift the attention of the old eunuch to the Wei, and then clear his suspicion.

This matter, originally according to the idea of the King of Nanyue, was completely a watertight plan, but now it seems that he seems to have some meaning in it.

The old eunuch didn't do anything, but he put himself in a state of panic.

That's what the king of Nanyue thinks, but what about the father-in-law?

Father-in-law Qiangong is now waiting for a good life in front of the emperor.

Although the emperor has been on the throne for many years, the reputation has not been very good, especially in the treatment of the same sect, whether it is Zhou Dunyi, who supported him to ascend the throne, or the princes who opposed him, such as the king of Nanyue, they did not end up well, because of this, this emperor was scolded by many people, of course, the reason for the scolding was because of those princes who lost power but were unwilling to slander His Majesty.

However, in the eyes of the father-in-law, no matter how bad the reputation of this majesty is, at least in terms of diligence, he can already be regarded as a good monarch, especially as the emperor of such a huge empire in Nanli, the twists and turns that need to be disposed of all day can really be said to be a mountain of piles, and this majesty often forgets to sleep and eat because of handling political affairs, and often finishes dealing with it in the middle of the night and prepares to rest.

Father-in-law Qian took a cup of white porridge from the little eunuch on the side, carefully placed it in the free corner of the table, and whispered to Emperor Li

"Your Majesty, after drinking this bowl of white porridge, go and rest, the day after tomorrow is the time to go to court, and the rest of these twists and turns will be left for tomorrow to deal with."

Emperor Li raised his head, moved his stiff body, and the bones of his body also made a sound of crackling bones, and then when he opened his eyes again, Emperor Li only felt that his eyes were a little dizzy, shook his head, picked up the bowl of white porridge and drank a few sips, Emperor Li put the white porridge back in the hands of his father-in-law, and then rubbed his temples and said with a smile

"It's okay, anyway, there are not many twists and turns left, I can deal with it with more efforts, and after dealing with these twists and turns earlier, I can also relax and fall asleep, if I can't finish these things and go to stay, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, godfather, you are also tired, you go to rest first, just let others serve me, aren't you also busy dealing with Jinyiwei's affairs these days, and you have to accompany me to review the folds at night, presumably more tired than me."

"The minions are not tired, since Your Majesty has decided so, the minions will continue to serve Your Majesty after handling the political affairs here, and let those little guys come to serve Your Majesty, the minions will not be at ease."

When Emperor Li heard this, he smiled a little and shook his head, and then lowered his head again and began to look at the folds.

"Father-in-law, go and see if Concubine Ru has slept for me? If you don't sleep, tell her for me, don't wait for me any longer, I will stay in the Palace of Yang Xin after I finish handling political affairs. ”

"No."

When he came to the door of the palace, a cold wind blew from the side of the father-in-law, and the father-in-law turned to look at the little eunuch behind him, and said to him with some reproach in his eyes

"Why don't you close the door of the palace, if this cold wind blows on Your Majesty, you can't afford to bear that sin."

The little eunuch hurriedly came to the gate of the palace, and it took a lot of effort to close the door of the palace of the heart cultivation, and then he came back to the god-father and bent over.

At night, in the Jinling Imperial City, especially outside the Yangxin Palace, there will be a team of northern soldiers patrolling outside from time to time.

In fact, in the eyes of insiders, these patrols are just a small insurance.

After all, if someone really infiltrated the Jinling Palace, would these patrolling Northern soldiers really be able to catch that person in time?

The royal enshrinement of the palace is an insurance.

And Yu Linwei, who is in the Northern Sergeant, is the second insurance.

Of course, the last piece of insurance has also kept the Jinling Palace safe for more than ten years, and it is this father-in-law.

If anyone under the top monks sneaks in with a bad intention, the free feather forest guards the royal family to make a move.

As for reaching the first rank of a top monk, the Qiangong Guild will let him stay in the palace completely, of course, unless your cultivation can reach the point of uneven wind, after all, when it comes to the strength of uneven wind, there are not many people in all parts of the world who want to keep him.

And if you don't have the strength to reach Feng Buping, if you want to sneak into the Jinling Palace to assassinate the emperor.

That's only when you first face your father-in-law and step on your father-in-law's body.

Even if your strength is greater than that of Father-in-law, Father-in-law only needs to drag you for a while, and Jinling will come to the rescue.

And at that point, the top monks or something are still sleeping in the palace.

And what's more, the top monks whose strength is greater than that of the father-in-law cannot be said to be none, it can only be said that there are not many.

At that point, how many monks will not be under the surveillance of the three major yamen in Nanli?
