When Yan Shun left the palace, his entire back was soaked, and now he understands that the game of the battle for imperial power is not something he can penetrate, it seems that everyone is a chess piece, and everyone is an outcast, when it is useful, it can be used by others, and when it is useless, it may be abandoned at any time.

Pawns, discarded pawns.

It is now the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Xuanhe.

In the past, as the emperor of Western Xia, Li Qianshun would choose to have fun with the people, although it was a show, but it was enough to make the people of Xingqing Mansion enthusiastic, in order to see the emperor's demeanor and go to the heavenly street, but today is different, he has been a prisoner, he has been assassinated, and now he is hiding in the room like a lost dog.

I don't know why, this year's winter is particularly cold, although wearing a mink coat, Li Qianshun still feels as if he has fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The cold wind was fierce, the snow was falling, there were no stars in the sky, there was no moon, it was pitch black, and there was only a trace of light against the background of the heavy snow. This is obviously a night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, but I don't know who will die on such a night, Li Qianshun, who was sitting by the fire, was thinking nonsense, I don't know why, after seeing Brother Richard's head, the Western Xia emperor had an ominous feeling, as if his head might move at any time.

Dozens of masters of the Yin Kwai Society stepped forward to protect the imperial army, but despite this, Li Qianshun still couldn't sleep peacefully, especially on the night of this month's dark wind and high murderous night, he had an indescribable sense of fear in his heart.

Yan Shun personally went out, this time he only brought twelve shadows of the top masters, assassinated Li Qianshun, and could not startle the snake, otherwise Yiwang Li Renkai would lead the imperial army to conduct a large-scale search for the whole city, in that case, it would make people panic, and it would cause new turmoil.

The shadow is just a legend.

No one knows who the leader of the Shadow is, or even if the Shadow exists. This is the most mysterious organization of the Great Song Dynasty, but it exists in an extremely strange way.

The reason why the shadow is called the shadow is to take the meaning of accompanying the shadow.

Shadows are called shadows because they don't exist at all, just the shadows of others.

Shadow, the reason why it is called a shadow, is that once you are targeted by a shadow, don't want to get rid of it.

Shadow, the reason why it is called shadow, is to live in darkness and not see the light.

Shadow, can only be a shadow, not even a name, only a number, the smaller the number, the greater the ability, and with the internal competition, the final assessment of the task, the number is changing, therefore, this mystery is organized, and the outside world does not know at all.

Yan Shun said to the shadows: "Today, the twelve of you are divided into three groups to cover me to assassinate the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun. ”

Shadow Seven, Shadow Eleven, and Shadow Seventeen were a group of three, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Despite the biting cold, the defense of the Imperial Army is still impenetrable, and a group of twenty people is constantly patrolling, but this patrol is destined to have loopholes, and the first group of shadows quickly passed through the patrol of the Imperial Army, they will not kill these seemingly powerful, but actually weak guards, but to solve the Yin Kwai Society masters hidden in the dark corners.

Kagechi is good at radiating poison needles, which can silently kill enemies invisibly. This guy has long been prepared to kill the target as soon as he finds it.

Shadow Eleven was born with night vision, and this guy sees much brighter at night than during the day, even if there is a needle on the ground in a dark corner, he can find it in a very short time.

Shadow Seventeen, no one knows the origin of this guy, but in the shadow organization, he is the fastest one, and it is said that the speed is so fast that the lord is ashamed of himself.

There is a slight movement behind the rockery, the reason why it is said to be slight, mainly under the blowing of the north wind, this little movement is no different from no movement plan. Despite being so cautious, he was discovered by Shadow Eleven, and this guy made a gesture to tell Shadow Seven, Shadow Seventeen, that the other party was a person, and he was a master, and it was difficult to kill this guy quietly.

There are difficulties, and there are challenges.

Shadow Seventeen rushed over like a frightened tanuki, this guy was as fast as lightning, light as a feather, and didn't even leave a trace on the snow.

The seventh child of the Yin Kui Club didn't expect someone to assassinate the emperor on such a night, if it was on weekdays, he wouldn't panic at all, but after the failure of the mission of the first master of Western Xia, Shui Ayabo, this feminine guy had a trace of fear in his heart.

Fear arose, and Lao Qi suddenly realized that there was someone behind him, and he knew that the assassin was coming, but he didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to make a sound, because if he made a little movement, he would be killed.

People who stand on the blade and dance can have everything, but not fear, once they lose their fear, then they will lose their most basic judgment, in other words, death strikes, and they can't hide from it.

Lao Qi didn't dare to move, he didn't even dare to breathe, this guy stayed where he was stupid, he didn't know what kind of people were ten behind him, the only thing he knew was that the enemy didn't move, I didn't move, and I definitely couldn't risk attacking.

Shadow Seventeen waved his hand and motioned for Shadow Seven, and Shadow Eleven pushed inside first, and he could do it by himself here. He knew the ten top masters of the other party, and he also knew that as long as he killed them, it would be difficult not to make some movements. Obviously, the action has just begun, and at this time, it is not suitable to startle the snake, so I chose to forbear.

Forbearance is a necessary condition for shadows, and it can be said that forbearance has reached its limit, and even if a poisonous snake is in front of them, these shadows can remain motionless until the task is completed.

As time passed, Lao Qi's pressure became more and more intense, his breathing became rapid, cold sweat began to break out on his back, his feet were a little numb, and his legs trembled slightly, as if he didn't obey the call.

To live or die is indeed a difficult question, and every choice can lead to the abyss from which you will never recover.

Shadow Seventeen is very calm, for this guy to start, the game has just begun. To play cat and mouse, you must have enough patience, otherwise the game will not be fun.

The cat vs. the snake, staged a realistic version of the dragon fight, doomed, whoever strikes first will die. Despite knowing this, the old seven, who couldn't stand the torment, finally chose to make a move, and this guy drew his short sword, turned around at a fast speed, and stabbed at his enemy.

Speed, speed.

Between the lightning and thunder, Lao Qi had already launched an attack, but he was dumbfounded, the enemy seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, or there was no enemy behind him at all.

What's going on?

At the moment when Lao Qi was stunned, Ying Seventeen made a move, and this guy shot seven sleeve arrows with both hands, hitting different places on Lao Qi's body.

Sleeve arrow is a short barrel equipped with a trap spring, only seven inches long, and only a few three-inch long short arrows can be contained inside, because it is in the cuff, so it is called a sleeve arrow. The range is very short, no more than a kilometer, but it is extremely fast, and it is a sharp weapon for close-range assassination.

When he felt seven strong winds flying towards him, Lao Qi realized that he was well protected, and this guy hurriedly dodged to the side, and used the short arrow in his hand to block the sleeve arrow.

The sound of metal clashing was particularly crisp in the silence of the night, intertwined with the distant meows of wild cats, and those who listened were creepy and shuddered.

Dodging the hidden arrow, Lao Qi was not glad at all, because the enemy finally appeared, and it was a killing move.

Desperately, Lao Qi chose to fight with the enemy.

The short knife cut Lao Qi's neck, this guy didn't see clearly how the other party made a move until he died, and he didn't make a sound until he died, so he fell.

Seeing the enemy fall, Shadow Seventeen quickly disappeared into the night.

Shadow Seven's poisonous needle was exerted to the extreme on this snowy night, shooting twelve masters of the Yin Aoi Society in one night, and he never spoke, because this guy is mute and can't speak, only kills.

Overnight, all the thirty-seven masters of the Yin Kui Society were killed, and when they were killed, they didn't even say a word, and they didn't play the role of early warning at all. At this point, the yin sunflower of Western Xia will disappear completely, and there may be fish that have slipped through the net, but it can't set off any waves.

Yan Shun believed that the shadow could complete the task, so he broke into Li Qianshun's room without fear, and there was no need to worry about a master from the Yin Kwai Society breaking in.

"Those who should come will always come, you were sent by Liu Zhenglong to assassinate me!" In Li Qianshun's opinion, Empress Yelu Nanxian did not have the strength to assassinate herself at all, and she could quietly assassinate herself under the protection of the master of the Yin Kwai Society, and that could only be a master under Liu Zhenglong.

Yan Shun didn't speak, for him, the task of assassinating Li Qianshun had been completed, and the harm that would be brought to this Western Xia emperor for a lifetime was enough, and it could be regarded as an explanation to the Empress Yelu Nanxian.

Damn, damnable.

Li Qianshun, who fell in a pool of blood, was not seriously injured, but the biggest injury was in his heart, he lost too much, too much, it can be said that his will was destroyed, and he was no longer the dictatorial Emperor of Western Xia, but became a wasted person and a poor worm.

On such a dark and windy night, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was assassinated.

Shadow, just a legend.

The news of the assassination of the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun did not spread throughout Xingqing Mansion and was strictly blocked, but some people still knew the news, that is, the imperial family, nobles, magnates, officials, and even Li Renli, the king of Shu, who was imprisoned in the prison, knew about it.

After holding on for so long, after Li Renli, the king of Shu, knew that the emperor was assassinated, he gave up his insistence and took the initiative to beg for mercy, hoping that Empress Yelu Nanxian could let him go. Of course, this extremely smart person knows that there is a price to pay for letting himself go, but no matter how big the price is, it is insignificant compared to his own survival.

Yiwang Li Renkai did not expect that not long after the head of King Li Chage of Jin was sent, Emperor Li Qianshun was assassinated. This careerist did not immediately visit His Majesty the Emperor who had been assassinated, and he was now most concerned about his own fate, and of course it could be said that the fate of Western Xia.

Where to go, once you take this step, you can't turn back.

Just when Yiwang Li Renkai was entangled in his fate, a mysterious guest came to the mansion, this person was the shadow three who was in charge of the negotiation, and he was also the one with the highest status among the shadows who participated in the Xingqing Mansion operation this time, because the three people of shadow one, shadow two, and shadow three were all the leaders of the shadows, each of them commanded a group, and each carried out its own tasks, and the three of them had never met each other, and they didn't even know each other's existence.

Yiwang Li Renkai looked at this ordinary guy who couldn't be ordinary anymore and threw it into the crowd and was afraid that he would never find it again, and said: "You came to see this king like this, and you are not afraid that Lone will kill you." ”

"Kill me, if you think that the guards of Yiwang's Mansion are more powerful than Yin Kuihui, you can give it a try. I promise that the Yiwang Mansion will go to hell because of your choice. ”

Ying San didn't look at Yiwang Li Renkai at all, and he said unhurriedly: "Since I can come in, I will definitely be able to get out, don't you want to ask, the purpose of my coming?" ”

Yiwang Li Renkai knew that the other party was not intimidating him, so he held back the anger in his heart and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"A big tree has fallen, and you don't need another big tree?"

"You let this king take refuge in that woman?"

Yiwang Li Renkai has the arrogance of the Western Xia royal family, and he despises the queen Yelu Nanxian in his heart, and he doesn't even want to mention the other party's name.

"Why not replace Li Qianshun? He has been abolished, do you think even if Empress Yelu Nanxian leaves Western Xia, can he still be the emperor? ”

Ying San didn't speak again, he turned around and walked out, and as he walked, he said unhurriedly: "When do you think clearly, let's talk again, Western Xia needs an emperor, it depends on whether you or the king believes." ”

Yes, Western Xia really needs an emperor, otherwise the entire Western Xia will be in chaos, and no one can clean up this mess. Obviously, Li Qianshun can no longer be the emperor, and now there are only two people left in the huge Western Xia who can be the emperor, this problem is clear to the king Li Renkai better than anyone else, and the only one who can compete with him is Li Renyun, the king of letters.

Obviously, the person just now did not represent the queen Yelu Nanxian, after all, the crown prince Li Renai died, and this woman lost the qualification to be the queen mother, so she was destined not to get involved in the imperial power of the Western Xia, otherwise she would be opposed by the entire Western Xia royal family. Then next, there will be two situations in Western Xia, one is that the queen Yelu Nanxian will finally control the imperial power of Western Xia with the queen with the support of Li Renyun, the king of letters. Another scene is the election of a new emperor and the expulsion of Yelu Nanxian.

Yiwang Li Renkai knew that the mysterious person was from the Song Dynasty and was here to win him over. However, do you choose the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Song, or neither? If you don't choose either, it's a false proposition, without external support, it's unrealistic to expel Queen Yelu Nanxian with your own strength, but this team is not easy to stand!

Yiwang Li Renkai is in a dilemma, he really doesn't know what to do!
