The sea in the east seems to be not as blue as in the south.

This is Shen Lengku's only emotion sitting on the top of the stone mountain and looking at the sea, he has been sitting for half an hour, His Majesty said to let him wait on the top of the mountain, and His Majesty is discussing the variables of the battle against the Northern Frontier with the important ministers of the imperial court at this moment.

Shen Leng punched while waiting, jumped up and down the steps more than a thousand times, and sat down to rest after sweating profusely, looking at the sea to the east in a daze.

I didn't think about the battle in the northern frontier, I didn't think about who the hero who was hidden in the black martial arts, I didn't think about where the big pirate Haifutu he couldn't catch in the southern Xinjiang was hiding at this moment, and I didn't think about the relationship between Pei Tingshan and His Majesty.

It's just that I just want to be a tea master.

The tea master didn't know what was going on in Chang'an City, and he hadn't seen him for almost a year.

His Majesty once promised that the eastbound would take Tea Master and Mr. Shen with him, but because His Majesty was not worried about the people and things in Chang'an City, he asked Mr. Shen and Tea Master to stay in Chang'an, not for anything else, but to protect the old dean.

The crown prince's personality is not ostentatious, so naturally he will not deliberately anger the elders of the three dynasties like the old dean, if he wants to sit on the throne of Emperor Daning in the future, he naturally understands that people like the old dean always have to be friendly.

But what the prince does not want, the queen may not be unwilling.

The premise is that His Majesty will have an accident in Eastern Xinjiang, as long as His Majesty has an accident in Eastern Xinjiang, the old dean will inevitably investigate to the end in the cabinet, and the queen naturally does not want to see this scene.

Although Mr. Shen is seriously injured and can no longer use force, don't forget the sword of the tea master.

When Shen Leng wanted to be a tea master on the top of this stone mountain in Eastern Xinjiang, the tea master followed the old dean into Weiyang Palace, and outside the cabinet, there was a little scholar with a sword.

This is Weiyang Palace, and the sword naturally can't be exposed, so her armor is in the umbrella.

When the old dean was drinking tea and chatting in the cabinet room, she stood in the courtyard and looked at the eastern sky.

Shen Leng didn't know why His Majesty wanted to see him, and he didn't know what the result would be discussed with Pei Tingshan and them, with his current official position, he was naturally qualified to participate in the deliberations, but His Majesty didn't let him go, which was a bit intriguing.

In His Majesty's study in the palace, those adults saw that General Shen Leng did not come, and thought that His Majesty wanted to give General Pei some face after all? Everyone knows that General Pei doesn't like Shen Leng, so His Majesty didn't even call Shen Leng for deliberations?

Guess is guess, who dares to ask.

Shen Leng sat on the stone mountain, he couldn't wait for the left and couldn't wait for the right, so he got up and wanted to practice again, at this time, he saw the grass not far from him moving slightly, Shen Leng raised his eyebrows, and a sword came out of the grass like a poisonous snake, unimaginably fast.

This is the fastest sword that Shen Leng has encountered except for Mr. Chu and Tea Ye, so fast that Shen Leng didn't have a chance to react, obviously found that something was wrong there, and obviously saw the sword coming out of the grass, but he couldn't dodge.

Because the sword stabbed not Shen Leng, but the place where Shen Leng avoided, he seemed to know Shen Leng's habits very well, guessed in what direction Shen Leng would avoid, and also calculated how big Shen Leng's pace of movement would be, and the sword was waiting there.

With a pop, the sword pierced Shen Leng's left shoulder, and if it was a little more positive, this sword would stab Shen Leng's heart.

The pain in his shoulder made Shen Leng's face change, and this person's sword was like wisdom, and it reached the position that Shen Leng wanted to reach before Shen Leng.

The man with the sword was covered with a black scarf over his face and wore a night coat, and he had previously hidden in the shadows behind the grass and stones, silently.

With Shen Leng's current martial arts and the vigilance of danger that he had trained in fighting on the battlefield, he had not been aware of the existence of the assassin on the stone mountain for so long, and this assassin was also patient to the extreme, he seemed to see through Shen Leng even when he was sitting there resting and turning his back to him, he was still vigilant, even if there were forbidden troops up and down this stone mountain, Shen Leng still did not relax in the slightest, so he was always waiting.

And at that moment just now, he saw Shen Leng's shoulders loosen down.

Shen Leng had something on his mind, he was thinking about why His Majesty asked him to wait here, just a little distracted, and the sword arrived.

Shen Leng retreated sharply, the tip of the sword pulled out of his shoulder, and a few drops of blood were immediately brought out.

The man failed to kill Shen Leng with a sword, he didn't attack again, he immediately turned around and fled, he didn't flee in the direction of the stone steps, there were a large number of forbidden army guards there, he jumped down towards the cliff, Shen Leng rushed to the edge of the cliff, only to look down, the sword actually stabbed out again, faster and more abrupt than the first sword just now, who would have thought that the assassin who jumped off the cliff did not fall?

The assassin should know the terrain here very well, there is a small tree growing out of the cliff where he jumped, not big, only the thickness of his arm, but enough to hang his body, the moment he jumped down, he grabbed the small tree with one hand, he seemed to have calculated that Shen Leng would chase after him, and the moment Shen Leng lowered his head, the sword had already reached Shen Leng.

Shen Leng's body jerked back, and the assassin realized that Shen Leng was holding something that looked like a scabbard in his hand.

There is a filament in the scabbard connected to the pavilion pillar not far away, Shen Leng accelerated back with the help of the pull of the scabbard, the scabbard retracted the iron claw with great strength, Shen Leng borrowed the force to go back, and at the same time tilted his head back violently, the sword stopped in front of him, close to the skin like a hair, Shen Leng even felt the coldness on the sword.

The assassin's second blow still failed to kill Shen Leng, and a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes that Shen Leng couldn't understand, and he turned around and jumped off the cliff again.

And at this moment, the forbidden army guarding the surroundings has already rushed over.

The assassin jumped down, threw out a rope in his hand, the end of the rope seemed to be tied to something, circled around the small tree and then strangled, he fell sharply down dozens of meters, only the rope with the thickness of the little finger was extremely tough, and after reaching the end, the assassin was pulled and bounced up, taking advantage of the situation to let go of a backflip into the sea under the cliff.

He was very accurate, there was a beach under this cliff, and there was only a place less than three meters wide where there was seawater, and the position where he fell was not the slightest deviation, and after falling into the water, he swam away as fast as a fish, and soon disappeared.

Who would have thought that the sea water in that place was actually quite deep, Shen Leng speculated that this person had obviously carefully surveyed the terrain here, and after His Majesty came to live in the palace, he could not have enough time to do this, so the only possibility was that he had already figured out the terrain here before His Majesty lived in the palace, and what was even more terrifying was that if he hadn't assassinated Shen Leng and His Majesty, maybe His Majesty had been killed at the time of the first blow.

The news reached the palace study, and when he heard that Shen Leng was injured, His Majesty Long Yan was furious.

Wei Lan, the commander of the guards, was called by His Majesty and scolded him, and His Majesty ordered him to lead people to catch the assassins, and ordered that except for the forbidden army, all the soldiers and horses in Eastern Xinjiang should go out two miles to the periphery and be strictly investigated.

"Do you see clearly?"

The emperor asked Shen Leng.

Shen Leng shook his head: "Soon, and covered with a black scarf, I can't see my face." ”

The emperor ordered everyone else to leave the study, and he paced back and forth: "It's so fast that you can't catch it?" ”

"It's careless."

"Why careless?"

"Because the minister thinks that there will be no accident on the top of the mountain."

The emperor snorted: "Where in the world is there is a certainty, and the place where you think it is safe is the place where people will take advantage of it." ”

Shen Leng felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's attitude, and he also felt that there was something wrong with the assassin.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Leng was silent for a moment and then asked, "Your Majesty knows that the minister will be injured by someone?" ”

"Yes."

The emperor sat down and took out a bottle of wound medicine: "It's the person I arranged." ”

Although Shen Leng had suspicions, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard His Majesty admit it so easily, the sword that the assassin stabbed him retracted, and the tip of the sword was just a stab and immediately pulled back, and the second sword after the assassin jumped off the cliff obviously did not stab Shen Leng and Shen Leng at the vital point, and it stopped quickly and steadily, Shen Leng was even sure that if that sword could still stab himself, the assassin would still retract his strength.

The wound was so shallow that there was no need to worry about the impact of the wound, but when it bleed, it looked a little embarrassed and miserable.

"There are still people who want to kill you."

The emperor walked to Shen Leng's side and suddenly pulled out a dagger, but Shen Leng stood there but did not move.

His Majesty used the dagger to cut open the clothes at Shen Leng's wound, and then left the dagger on the desk, opened the wound medicine and put it on Shen Leng, and then cut gauze for Shen Leng to bandage the wound: "Are you resentful?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just doesn't understand."

"There's no reason for me to take you with me all the time, and you're not a boat...... Even if you want to be a substitute for the boat, I won't agree, but I have a lot of things to do, and I can't take care of you when I'm busy, and now everyone knows that you were stabbed while waiting for me, and I decreed that you should live in this palace with me, and no one will talk about anything anymore, you know, although I am the emperor of Daning, there is no reason to let you live in the palace casually, besides, so many people praise you, I also want to see if your martial arts are really that powerful. ”

The emperor tied the bandage and sat down behind his desk: "I also took advantage of this incident to make the Dongjiang sword soldiers retreat two miles, and even took advantage of this incident to let the Ouchi guards turn over the inside and outside of the palace up and down the mountain." ”

Shen Leng was only curious about one thing.

"Your Majesty, who is that man?"

"Wei Lan."

The emperor looked at Shen Leng: "Now you know, you are not a ten." ”

Shen Leng blushed, and said in his heart How can Your Majesty even know this habit of himself, he fights against people, and always likes to divide the strength of opponents by rank, from one to ten, he firmly believes that he is ten.

Shen Leng shook his head: "It can only be said that Wei Lan is also ten." ”

The emperor gave him a blank look: "Even if you are right, can you argue that if the person who assassinated you is equal in strength to you, there is a chance to kill you?" ”

He originally wanted to lure out the person who wanted to kill Shen Leng, but that needed to use Shen Leng as bait.

He was reluctant.

So just let Shen Leng live in the palace.

The emperor really wanted to know how many people the scholar lady had in her hands, and those few people were naturally not worth mentioning compared to the emperor's strength, but those few people were hiding, it was a threat, if it was at the expense of Shen Leng's safety, the emperor would not consider it at all.
