Chapter 11: The Great Luo's Magic Knife (3)
Just at the last moment, a hoarse angry shout came from the gate of the palace: "Who dares to spread wild in the Zhuocheng Palace?" "When he said the first word, he was still at the gate of the palace, and when he said Zhuocheng, he was already in front of Prince Chun.
After saying the wild word, the long sword in his hand had already collided with the Da Luo knife, blocking the killing knife of the wooden sinking boat.
Duanmu Shenzhou laughed wildly and said: "Nine lives Xiao Bai died, what an eight-star arch guard, haha, it's really worth the trip." In the midst of the wild laughter, the sword light of the Duanmu Shenzhou holding the Daluo knife was thrown far away, and a tiger guard of the palace chased after him under the beckoning of a leading general.
At this time, I saw that the person in front of Prince Chun was more than fifty years old, with sword eyebrows and eyes, a short beard, and a radiant spirit, and he must have been a first-class character when he was young.
The person who came was full of astonishment, and said: "Da Luo Dao Duanmu Old Monster, who sent this assassin to make such a big move?" Lord Wang, Master of Empty Liberation, are you okay? ”
Prince Chun came back to his senses, a little frightened, then stabilized his mind, looked at the person who came, and said with a slight salute: "Lord Xiao, thank you for saving your life, the king of Japan will be rewarded."
Master Jiekong was seriously injured in order to save the king, who is this assassin, so good!? ”
The person who came was the head of the palace guards, and he died in nine lives.
The Dagan Dynasty was deeply rooted, and there were many masters in the palace, and Li Chengde, the Bandung Emperor, was also a master in his early years.
In this Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon land, the most famous master is the eight-star arch guard, also known as the eight-star guard, a total of nine guards, some from the rivers and lakes and also from the official family, if selected by the emperor, you can inherit the title of the eight-star guard, in the palace has great authority, the leader of this generation of a guard is nine lives Xiao Bai died.
Xiao Baishou hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, the next official is late, don't dare to talk about thanks, and ask the prince to surrender." ”
Prince Chun waved his hand and was silent. Xiao Baisheng continued: "The lower official received the prince's edict and should have come immediately, but there were some trivial matters in the palace, and they were delayed for a while, and they almost missed the prince's major event." ”
Prince Chun's eyelids jumped, he took a long breath, and said in a harmonious voice: "Lord Xiao is serious, you are the head of the Nine Guards, and the safety of the Holy Lord is better than others, and this king's invitation is also abrupt."
This king guessed that someone might enter the house tonight to assassinate him, and he had already set up an ambush, so he invited Lord Xiao to come just in case.
How could I have expected that such a top master would emerge among the assassins tonight, the Tiger Guard Battalion, the Phoenix Dance Battalion, and the Master of Liberating the Sky have never stopped him, but it is a pity that he has failed. ”
Xiao Baizhu didn't know what Prince Chun was planning, and when he heard the words, he continued: "Lord Wang, the assassin is a big Luo knife Duanmu sinking boat, and there are only ten fingers that can rival him in the rivers and lakes, if you want to win him, no one in the rivers and lakes now dares to make such wild words, the thirteen-style big Luo knife is very domineering, but he rarely leaves the Silent Ridge, I don't know who invited him out this time." ”
Prince Chun showed his murderous intentions, suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Duanmu sinking boat, bad for this king!" ”
Except for the Assassins who broke through, none of the Assassins who remained in the square who were still able to move surrendered, and were killed by the Forbidden Army guards and tiger guards who followed Xiao Bai to death.
The surviving Tiger Guards and Janissary guards began to rescue the wounded soldiers, and the assassins who did not die were also carried away and kept under strict guard.
Several tiger guards stepped forward and were about to help the host of the Jiekong, but they were stopped by Xiao Baisheng and said, "Don't move the master of Jiekong, the master is doing his own luck, and it will go wrong if he moves rashly."
Well, I'll help the master, and you can go elsewhere. After speaking, he sat cross-legged behind the monk Jiekong, held down the back door, and slowly sent internal force to the monk Jiekong.
Xie Kongwei opened his eyes, thanked his chin, closed his eyes and stepped up his work. The remaining soldiers of the Fengwu Battalion were like a great enemy, surrounding Prince Chun, vigilant everywhere, afraid that the old monster Duanmu would come out again.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the southeast corner, and Li Chengye swept his eyes and saw several palace guards surrounding a woman in white.
Prince Chun frowned slightly, just now before Duanmu Shenzhou retreated, he saw this woman, looking for something on the field, and he was not afraid of swords and swords, but the situation was dangerous, and he didn't have time to think about it, at this time, the assassin had been cleared, which attracted the attention of Prince Chun.
Prince Chun glanced at the Jiekong monk and Xiao Baisheng who were doing the exercises, and said calmly: "Leave half of the people to protect Lord Xiao and Master Jiekong, and the rest and this king will go over there to have a look." With that, he walked towards the southeast of the square, and the Fengwu camp was divided into two places, following Prince Chun.
Prince Chun approached, the woman in white did not notice, she stood pretty, her face was surprisingly pale, there were blood stains left by rummaging on her hands, and there were also a lot of blood stains on her clothes, but it was difficult to hide the ice and jade run, it was Su Xue.
Su Xue followed Li Luo out of Qingxin Building and was thrown away by Li Luo, so he had no choice but to search the front yard, and saw the sea of swords and fire and corpses everywhere, he couldn't help but vomit out, his legs were weak, and he just wanted to leave.
But as soon as he thought of Li Luo, he gritted his teeth and stopped, and even asked a few tiger guards and said that he didn't see it, and even more simply pushed it away, Suxue couldn't do it, so he had to look for it in the square by himself, and when he saw the short corpse, he turned it out and looked at it, lest it was Li Luo.
Su Xue spit and searched all the way, almost stabbed by a stray arrow, and was almost regarded as an assassin by the tiger guard several times.
However, a thin woman walked back and forth on this killing field, which really attracted attention, and several assassins and tiger guards deliberately looked at Su Xue when they passed by. If there was no one around the snow, miraculously there were no injuries.
"Who are you?" Su Xue was at a loss when suddenly a majestic voice came from the side.
Su Xue looked back, was slightly startled, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang." ”
Li Chengye ignored it, and said to several tiger guards beside Su Xue: "You go down to clean up the battlefield." ”
"Yes." A few tiger guards bowed and retreated.
Li Chengye glanced at Su Xue carefully, feeling a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it, and frowned and said, "What is the woman from the Inner Mansion doing here?" ”
"The slave and maid are the maids in the Qingxin Building."
Prince Chun was shocked and asked, "Qingxin Building?" Then why did you come to the front yard? ”
Su Xue replied quickly: "Back to the prince, the little prince heard that there was an assassin in the front yard, and came over with a sword, but the slave didn't hold it for a while, and followed him to look for it. ”
"What!?" Prince Chun was shocked and said sharply, "Huwei, go and have a look, you go too." Prince Chun said to the soldiers of the Fengwu Battalion beside him, turned his head and roared at Su Xue, "Why don't you stop the little prince, if something happens, the king is the only one who asks." ”
"This ......" The guards looked embarrassed, and suddenly heard someone next to them say, "Go ahead, Lord Wang, I have me here." But it was Xiao Baisheng who came over and saluted Prince Chun and said, "Master Jiekong is fine, breathe for a while, and go back to cultivate for a few months." ”
When the guards of the Fengwu Battalion saw Xiao Bai dead, they were relieved and hurriedly scattered to search.
Xiao Baisheng saw that Prince Chun's brows were furrowed, and his heart was in turmoil, so he comforted: "Don't worry, the little prince has always been courageous, has a lot of foundation in martial arts, and is very intelligent. ”
Prince Chun thought of Li Luo's weekdays, relieved his mind a little, and said slowly: "If you care, you will be chaotic, this child is too worrying for this king." Seeing that Suxue was still kneeling on the ground, his voice turned and said, "You get up, he wants to leave, you can't hold it." ”
"Yes." Su Xue stood up, choking slightly. When Prince Chun saw it, he was already crying, looked at Xiao Baisheng and smiled bitterly, and said: "It's so dangerous here, you can be considered to have a heart regardless of your safety, don't cry, go to the little prince." ”
Xiao Baisheng smiled meaningfully at the frightened Su Xue, and said, "The little girl is frightened. Prince Chun glanced at Xiao Baisheng strangely, but did not speak.
After the tea, the guards came to report that they had seen Li Luo in the Changchun Courtyard near the Juyong Pavilion in the East Courtyard, and his life was fine.
Only then did Prince Chun put down the big stone in his heart, Su Xue's legs were weak, and he almost sat down on the ground, settled down, and followed Prince Chun to Changchun Courtyard to find Li Luo.
Li Luo didn't know the vicious battle in the front yard that night, but the assassin that day was able to say a word to break the bloody battle eight styles, this move is only passed down in the army, although it is not a stunt, but it is not something that ordinary people can see, plus after the fact from the mouth of the guards in the palace to learn one or two, the assassin entered the palace only for fear that it has nothing to do with the use of soldiers in the imperial court, but it is a pity that Prince Chun made a calculation, but was cut by a big Luo knife of Duanmu Shenzhou.
The palace is busy, the blood stains have been wiped dry, if it weren't for the scorched traces of Fang Peng, this fight seems to be in a dream, a good Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, but it has become a picture scroll of murder on a moonlit night.
In any case, the assassins succeeded, and several of the guests in the palace were all killed by Duanmu Shenzhou overnight, and Prince Chun was furious about this and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The timing and terrain of the assassins were so accurate that there must be an internal response in the palace, except for Luo'er, Huwei found out that it was a steward in the front yard who leaked the news.
But this is not for money, not for profit, no matter how much the tiger guard coerces and lures, he does not speak, and in the end he can't survive the punishment of the palace, and finds an opportunity to commit suicide in prison, and the other assassins actually died of poison at the same time on the same day, and they should have taken poison before the action.
I don't know if these assassins knew that they had been poisoned by others before the assassination, but the clues have been completely broken, Prince Chun was shocked and angry, and cured several jailers of their crimes, and was furious about it, it is said that even the emperor was alarmed, and Prince Chun's palace often had forbidden guards in and out, and for a while the palace was full of rumors, and everyone was in danger.
