Chapter 1372: Ominous
Qu Xiaocang rushed towards Yan Lingxian with one arm and bare hands, but the surrounding dark guards did not act rashly, but Yan Lingxian showed a shocked look, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Qu Xiaocang was like a lone wolf, and he was about to rush to Yan Lingxian when he saw it, Yan Lingxian heard a contemptuous sneer behind him, his heart was cold, he raised his hand to hold the knife, and said coldly: "You are looking for death by yourself." Facing Qu Xiaocang, he waved his knife and slashed at Qu Xiaocang's head.
Qu Xiaocang let out a roar, and Yan Lingxian shouted: "Suffer death!" The big knife in his hand has been cut down, at this time, but he heard a sound of "boom", in the night, a light pierced the air, flying from the side of Yan Lingxian, the big knife was about to fall on the top of Qu Xiaocang's head, but Yan Lingxian seemed to feel the light coming, and turned his head slightly, but he didn't see it clearly, "poof", a big knife actually penetrated Yan Lingxian's neck directly, blood flew, the big knife passed through Yan Lingxian's neck, the strength did not disappear, "poof", But it didn't enter the neck of a knifeman standing beside Yan Lingxian.
Turn knives into arrows and kill with one sword.
Yan Lingxian's entire neck was already shattered, his body shook, his eyes were full of horror and disbelief, but Qu Xiaocang had already rushed in front of him, and the only remaining arm punched out, hitting Yan Lingxian's chest with earth-shattering force, Yan Lingxian's entire body flew straight backwards and crashed into the eunuch not far behind him.
The eunuch reacted quickly, raised a kick, and kicked Yan Lingxian away like a ball, Yan Lingxian's body immediately fell heavily to the ground, his body twitched, and he struggled twice, and then stopped moving.
The swordsman who was submerged in the neck by the big knife also shook his body, and finally fell to the ground.
Everyone around saw a knife appear extremely suddenly, and kill the two people in an instant like a meteor, and they were more or less shocked.
With such a powerful force, it is almost impossible for human beings to do it.
Qu Xiaocang just said that Yan Lingxian betrayed the Shenhou Mansion and could not die well, but he didn't want it to be fulfilled so quickly, he was pierced through his neck by a big knife, and he died like this, which was indeed miserable.
The eyes of the white-masked man and the eunuch were also horrified, and everyone had already judged where the big knife came from, and they all looked in that direction, but in the night, they saw several figures rushing towards this side like wolves in the dark night.
"Meet the enemy!"
Someone in the crowd shouted in a deep voice, it was a palace secret guard, among the killers who were ambushed in the treasure building tonight, half of them were not secret guards, but then more than ten people who supported them were all well-trained palace secret guards, and they saw those figures rushing over, and they knew that they were assassins outside the palace, so some secret guards immediately spoke out to stop them.
The secret guards in the palace really reacted quickly, the man gave an order, more than 20 secret guards quickly moved their bodies, in an orderly manner, the four people in front of them pointed forward with their long swords, but the position of everyone was not yet standing, a figure had already floated up, as if swept by a gust of wind, the two dark guard long swords stabbed at the figure in mid-air, but saw that the figure was unbelievably rotating in the air, the long sword was straight, and with a "snort" sound, it had already stabbed the throat of a swordsman, and the blood splashed, the wrist of the person holding the sword turned, and the long sword in his hand came out again, The ghost stabbed out from his armpit and struck the throat of another secret guard.
In the blink of an eye, two dark guards died under the sword.
What a fast sword, such a ruthless sword!
In the shouting, the other secret guards had already rushed up fearlessly, and several figures behind the man also pounced forward like wolves, and in an instant, the two sides were already mixed together, fighting fiercely.
The figure that stabbed the two dark guards to death had fallen to the ground, and several dark guards attacked him in unison, this person took his left foot as the axis, and the whole person spun like a dancer, the long sword in his hand shone with cold light, and with his rotation, a cold light was drawn around him, and the cold light came, and all the dark guards who came to the wall fell to the ground, with different wounds, but all of them were lying in a pool of blood.
The man kicked down, his body floated to the side, and the whole person slammed into the body of a dark guard in an extremely strange posture, the person was shattered by the impact, and his body flew out At the same time, the figure took advantage of the force of the collision to bounce in the opposite direction, and the long sword broke through the air and went straight into the chest of a rushing dark guard.
In the blink of an eye, all nine secret guards were killed.
The violent killing intent spread in an instant, this figure killed nine people in a row, but came to Qu Xiaocang's side like a ghost, standing still, holding a long sword, the tip of the sword pointed to the ground, but the eyes were looking at the eunuch standing in front of the treasure building, his eyes swept up and down very quickly, staring at the eunuch's red hands, the corner of this person's lips flashed a smile, and said lightly: "I heard that you are all looking for me, I am here!" ”
The person who came was Qi Ning.
In the face of Qi Ning's domineering methods and the terrifying killing intent, although the eunuch's eyes flashed with horror, the whole person still looked very calm.
Qu Xiaocang's broken arm was bleeding, and when he saw that the person who came was Qi Ning, he was obviously surprised, but Qi Ning had already raised his hand and threw something at Qu Xiaocang, and said lightly: "Stop the bleeding first!" ”
Entering the palace tonight, Qi Ning naturally expected that there would be a fight, because everyone had wound medicine on their bodies before entering the palace.
Qu Xiaocang took the wound medicine and quickly applied it to the broken arm.
As soon as Qi Ning appeared, he killed Yan Lingxian first, and then killed ten secret guards before and after, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of these secret guards.
The dark guards are the elite of the palace and are well-trained, and Qi Ning can kill many secret guards in an instant, which naturally makes everyone stunned.
The imperial palace of Chu is a city within a city, but within this imperial city, it is divided into three layers: the outer palace, the middle palace and the inner palace.
The periphery of the imperial city is solid, and the area between the middle palace is called the outer palace, in fact, the outer palace is the place where the Yulin camp is stationed, the middle palace has a city wall again, the civil and military officials are in the early dynasty, first pass through the outer city gate, and then pass through the middle palace gate to enter the Chengtian Palace, and the inner palace is located in the middle palace, and there is a palace wall between the middle palace and the inner palace.
The middle palace is the place where the emperor governs, in fact, many places such as the imperial study are in the middle palace, and it is also the patrol place of the Yulin camp.
The inner palace is a place where foreign ministers are forbidden to enter, this is where the concubines live, there are many eunuchs and palace maids to serve, and the treasure building is in the inner palace.
The number of secret guards is limited, except for some ambushes in the imperial study and other places where the emperor often haunts to protect, and the main force is deployed throughout the inner palace.
However, there are strict regulations on the position of each secret guard, as a royal important place, the treasure building assigned nearly twenty secret guards to ambush nearby, and the duties of these secret guards are limited to guarding the treasure building, and without receiving orders and special signals, they cannot easily enter the protected areas of other secret guards.
Tonight, Qu Xiaocang entered the Treasure Building and lured out all the secret guards guarding the Treasure Building, so that Qi Ning and the others could easily approach the Treasure Building.
However, there was no signal from here, and even if the secret guards in other places noticed that something was wrong here, they did not dare to leave their protected area.
At this time, half of the dark guards were killed, and the remaining dark guards fought with Qi Ning's men, and Qi Ning also brought elite masters, and the two sides fought together, some of the dark guards wanted to seek support, and some of the dark guards were worried that it would not only be these few people who infiltrated the palace tonight, but also worried that there would be other assassins infiltrating the palace.
"Qi Ning, you really shouldn't come." The eunuch finally said, "You can come in, but I can guarantee that you can't get out." Looking up at the bright moon above the sky: "This palace is your burial place." ”
Qi Ning smiled faintly: "Dizang is making waves, and the ghosts and ghosts under his command are causing trouble to the world, I have always suspected that the flame envoy of the six envoys of Jizo is lurking in the capital, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." His eyes were sharp, staring at the eunuch's eyes: "There is an evil sect in the capital called Huomen, which is said to have been created by a person called Ghost Heavenly Master, so should I call you Ghost Heavenly Master or call you Flame Messenger?" ”
The eunuch said: "Yan Mo is a ghost, and a ghost is also Yan Mo." Raising an arm, looking at his red fingers, he sighed lightly: "Sure enough, as expected by the prince, the people of the Qi family in brocade clothes are all courageous, I thought you would never dare to sneak into the palace and throw yourself into the net, but the prince decided that you would definitely enter the palace." ”
Qi Ning frowned, only feeling that there was something in the words of the Yanmo envoy.
"Not many people know about that secret passage." Yan Mo said slowly: "When the prince enters the palace, he will do some tricks and feet in the Maitreya stone carving, once someone moves the stone carving and finds the secret passage, the prince will know immediately." His eyes stared at Qi Ning, and he said lightly: "When the prince secretly entered the palace and discussed with Xiao Guang about the strategy to deal with Sima Lan, I knew at that time that you had discovered that secret passage. ”
Qi Ning's heart sank, and for some reason, an ominous feeling suddenly came up.
"The prince has calculated that if you want to sneak into the palace, you will definitely use that secret passage." The flame envoy let out a strange laugh: "Now it seems that the prince is really like a god. I just said that you can get in, but you can't get out, do you understand what that means now? ”
Qi Ning suddenly realized something, but he still sneered: "If you are a traitor, I can naturally leave the palace in a bright and bright way." ”
The flame envoy let out a piercing laugh: "Qi Ning, without the emperor's will, you led a group of assassins to infiltrate the palace, isn't this a rebellion?" Soon everyone in the world will know that you led people to sneak into the palace, and they will all know that you colluded with foreign countries to try to stand on your own, and sneaked into the palace to assassinate the emperor's .....! Before the words fell, the flame messenger suddenly stepped a little, and the whole person had already flown out sideways, Qu Xiaocang immediately saw through the intention of the flame envoy, and said in a deep voice: "He wants to run!" ”
The flame messenger really wants to leave.
He seemed to already know that he was not Qi Ning's opponent, his body was like a ghost, and he was like a ghost, but those few words made Qi Ning very suspicious, and he faintly felt that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in it.
