CHAPTER XVI

Longyin Pavilion is backed by a small street between the two squares, the snowflakes are fluttering without moonlight, and the street is dim and lightless.

Xu Buling flew over the wall and landed on the street, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the shadow of a sword in the distance.

A man dressed in black and wearing a hat, holding a dark blue long sword, was entangled with six wolf guards of the Son of Heaven's camp, and the walls and roofs sometimes collapsed, causing many residents to scream in horror.

Lao Xiao leaned on crutches, and after a few ups and downs on the wall, he landed steadily in front of Xu Buling, frowning:

"This person's martial arts are very high, and his swordsmanship looks like the sword of the Tang family, but he has no meaning, he seems to have learned it secretly, and he is afraid that he is a Jianghu person who came to take revenge."

Xu Buling nodded slightly, not very surprised by the presence of assassins in the capital.

Ten years ago, the first emperor died of illness, and the prince Song Ji inherited the unification.

Because Dayue rejuvenated the country with martial arts, over the past two hundred years, countless families and sects have been born, and even the imperial capital Chang'an City is also a martial arts hall. The inheritance of incense, grievances and righteousness have connected various forces into a big net, and their influence is no less than that of the scholars who once controlled the government.

There are too many people who practice martial arts, and there will inevitably be people who take risks, burning, killing, looting, and violating the prohibition with martial arts.

After Song Ji succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to purge the forces in the rivers and lakes, and forced several big families on the rivers and lakes to obey the orders and the Investigation Division, and each sent the masters in the door to clean up the people who were not subject to control, which was known as the 'Iron Eagle Deer Hunting' in history.

The original intention of the 'Iron Eagle Deer Hunting' is obviously good, to support the big families in a system, suppress the small forces on the rivers and lakes, and guide the martial artists to develop in the direction that is beneficial to the imperial court.

But the imperial court obviously miscalculated the reaction of the Jianghu people.

The biggest difference between a warrior and a literati is that 'there is a sword in the heart'.

The husband was angry, nothing more than five steps of blood splashed, and was suppressed by the imperial court, and there were many rebels.

And all the big and small forces have been involved for hundreds of years, and they will inevitably involve unclear grievances and grievances, and the big families who obey the imperial court will crusade against the forces of the rivers and lakes, some of which are not easy to start, and some of which are personal enmities.

In just one year, things have evolved to the point where it is difficult to end, and there are even signs of uprisings and rebellions.

The fate of the Son of Heaven's anger can be imagined.

The Seven Kings soon received the imperial order and dispatched more than 800,000 soldiers and horses to sweep through the Dayue Dynasty, almost breaking the backbone of the warriors.

Princess Su was born in the Lu clan of the East China Sea, and the Lu clan of Jinling was born in the same vein thousands of years ago.

The Lu clan of the East China Sea had a disagreement at that time, and felt that the imperial court behaved too aggressively and did not listen to the order, which attracted the encirclement and suppression of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

After a big battle, the head of the Lu family at that time died. Princess Su died depressed, and King Su has not continued to do so, all of which are related to this incident.

Even the king with a different surname who sat in the land of twelve states was affected here, and how tragic the rivers and lakes were at that time can be imagined.

Ten years have passed, and there is an endless stream of people who have entered Beijing for revenge, and almost every year, more than 100 people die silently under the knife of the wolf guard.

Xu Buling looked at it for a moment, and couldn't tell which faction the woman in black went, only knew that her skills were extraordinary, and asked softly:

"Zhang Xiang is dead?"

Lao Xiao shook his head: "Zhang Xiang is in charge of the Investigation Department, it is not so easy to die, just after the assassination attempt was detected by Zhang Xiang, he was slapped in the face, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape." ”

Xu Buling nodded, he wanted to enter the case library to find out the news, and the case library was Zhang Xiang himself, he was thinking about whether this assassin could come in handy, and suddenly shouted in the distance:

"Get out of the way!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince beware!"

Xu Buling was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, and found that the black-clothed assassin was actually rushing towards him with a sword.

Lao Xiao squinted slightly, and said in a loud voice:

"This baby has no eyesight, and treats His Royal Highness the Prince as a soft persimmon......"

Lao Xiao said and was about to step forward, but Xu Buling gently raised his hand to stop it, and then made a look full of horror:

"Escort!"

------

The cold wind howled.

The black-clothed assassin was armed with a long sword, and under the attack of the hook and sickle spear and the Yan Ling knife, he retreated one after another, and only then could he fail to assassinate him, and was slapped by Zhang Xiang in the back, his thin lips were dark blue, and his pace gradually became unsteady.

Seeing that there were more and more wolf guards surrounding him, and if it dragged on, it would become a fatal situation, the black-clothed assassin's eyes showed a bit of determination, and he was about to rush back to the Dragon Yin Pavilion desperately, but under the corner of the wall outside the Dragon Yin Pavilion, a beautiful son in a fox fur and the old man were watching together.

She had seen this noble son once in Sun's shop, and her complexion was vain and poisoned, so she was more impressed. I heard from passers-by that he was the son of the prince, and his status was transcendent.

In normal times, she would definitely not pay attention to these princes and nobles who don't know the height of the sky, but at this time, she is in a desperate situation, seeing such a big hostage in front of her, how else can she choose?

The black-clothed assassin did not hesitate, his embroidered shoes stepped on the pavement of the long street, almost shattering the bluestone floor tiles, and his figure rose from the ground in the wind and snow, and rushed out of a distance of more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye, and came to the eyes of the handsome son.

"Escort!"

The young man's eyes were full of horror, and he panicked and wanted to escape.

The elderly old man Ding was shocked, dropped his crutches and turned around and ran, completely ignoring the master next to him.

The black-clad assassin seized the opportunity to grab the young man by the shoulder and pull him into his arms, holding the long sword around his neck and facing the wolf guard who was chasing after him.

"Stop!"

The hundred households of the wolf guard were shocked and scattered, and they hurriedly stopped the subordinates who were still rushing forward. They knew that Xu Buling's martial arts were good, but if he was hit by the Lock Dragon Cup, he could not be the opponent of this assassin. If the prince of Su died at the hands of the assassins, I am afraid that from the commander Zhang Xiang to the wolf guards present, they would have to bury the little prince.

At this time, Baihu could only hold a knife and stop three zhang away, and said urgently:

"Bold thief, let go of His Royal Highness!"

The black-clothed assassin was a little shorter than Xu Buling, grabbing Xu Buling's shoulder with one hand and holding the sword around his neck with the other, his posture was a little difficult. Her breathing fluctuated, and she glanced at the wolf guards who were surrounding her:

"Get out of the way."

The voice is a little light and empty, and you can feel the cold temperament just by hearing the sound.

The breath blows in the ears, with a dark fragrance of orchid.

Xu Buling's expression was nervous, and he raised his hands and signaled the wolf guard not to be impulsive:

"Get out of the way, don't be impulsive......"

"Don't talk!"

The black-clothed assassin said coldly, then hugged Xu Buling's waist, forcibly jumped onto the wall, and galloped towards the outside of Daye Fang:

"If you dare to catch up, I'll kill him right now!"

Many wolf guards turned pale, they wanted to chase but didn't dare to chase, and they were stunned and didn't know what to do.

If the assassin is forced to die in a hurry, the wolf guards present will have to die, so they can only run to block the road to prevent the thieves from escaping from Chang'an City......
