"Lord Bai, the location of the thief has been explored, there are two people in the teahouse at the door, should we do it now?" , Outside the Lijun Palace, a cronie asked in a low voice.

"Don't be in a hurry, be more cautious, you go check again!" , Bai Zhen wrote down the location and number of people reported by his cronies, touched his beard and replied, his cronies did not doubt that he was ordered to go, Bai Zhen looked at Chu Yuan, Long Jun and others around him, "You guys are here first, I'll go and investigate first, if the thief does it, you will kill it immediately!" ”

After speaking, he slowly walked to the main gate of the Lijun Palace, and then went around to the back door, and saw that no one followed, and walked to the room where the two Tianli Sect disciples were ambushed according to the position that his cronies said.

"Who?!" As soon as the two disciples shouted, Bai Zhen's throat was locked, and they reached out to grab Bai Zhen's wrist and wanted to pull it away, but Bai Zhen's hands were as if they were cast in iron.

"When are you going to attack the palace of the Lijun King?" Seeing that they were about to suffocate, Bai Zhen relaxed his strength a little and asked lightly.

"Humph! Don't you think about it", the disciple on the left was just half scolded before Bai Zhen crushed his throat, he threw the corpse aside and looked at the remaining disciple, "Are you willing to say it now?" ”

The disciple trembled, and replied tremblingly, "The villain doesn't know either!" Seeing that Bai Zhen's eyes changed, he hurriedly touched his waist, "When the sect leader was leaving, he sent fireworks to each disciple, saying that he would kill them when he himself arrived." ”

"Oh? Are you talking about this firework? Bai Zhen reached out to his waist and groped for a while, pulled out a firework pasted with red paper, and after receiving a positive answer, he crushed the throat of the second disciple, walked to the door to look at the sun, took out the flint from his arms and lit the fireworks.

"Chirp~~Tom!" , The fireworks pulled out a long smoke and bloomed beautiful flowers in the sky, and as soon as the sound fell, the originally quiet street suddenly became noisy, and there were people rushing out of the four directions at the same time to kill in the palace of Lijun! At this time, it was dinner time, the palace guards were all eating in the dining hall, and the few guards who stayed behind could stop so many people, and the king of Lijun did not dare to take in the people with strong martial arts in order to avoid suspicion, and now they are just some mediocre hands in the mansion, and they can block the essence of these Tianli Sects, and they will be attacked into the mansion after a while.

The incident was in a hurry, and the guards outside the mansion were caught off guard, and when they reacted, they hurriedly chased them in, and the people in the mansion knew their identities, and the three groups of people suddenly became a group. Ouchi's guard, Fan Zhongen, had been to the palace of the king of Lijun before, and when he saw an assassin running towards the bedroom of the king of Lijun, he hurriedly chased after him and prepared to intercept and kill him. Seeing that he was about to catch up with the other party, Bai Zhen came out of the oblique stab, "Someone is coming in from behind, you go and stop it, leave this to me to deal with!" ”

Bai Zhen's position is higher than Fan Zhongen, although he is dissatisfied with his credit being snatched away by him, but he does not dare to argue, he turned around and ran back, after he left, Bai Zhen slowed down, and hung far behind the assassin without hurry, after passing two gardens and a corridor, he met three or five people running out around King Lijun, the assassin pounced on him when he saw this, and the two guards resisted the assassin to death, "Lord Wang, go quickly!" ”

"This is to kill me!" , King Lijun couldn't help but speak, seeing that the two guards couldn't support him, he already understood that he couldn't escape today, and pulled the housekeeper over, "If I die, you will go to Prince Zheng and say that I was killed because of what I told him during the New Year, so that he must guard my full country!" ”

Bai Zhen, who was hanging behind, couldn't wait, he picked up two stones and shot them out, the two guards were stabbed in the throat by the assassin's two swords, and they were instantly killed, the assassin didn't wait for his two corpses to hit the ground, rushed to the king of Lijun in two steps, kicked the butler's sword, and stabbed the king of Lijun's chest.

"Thieves dare!" , There was a loud shout from behind him, Bai Zhen flashed out from behind the tree and pretended to be anxious and ran here, but after all, others ran as fast as the sword, and his palm fell in front of the assassin's vest, and King Lijun dodged two swords in a row, but was cut by the third sword in his throat.

"Lord Wang!" , Bai Zhen struck the assassin with a palm, and attached himself to the body of King Lijun, King Lijun's fingers trembled and pointed at Bai Zhen, his eyes were full of anger, but he couldn't say a word with all his might, and fell into Bai Zhen's arms after a while.

In just such a moment, the melee between the kung fu assassin and the Ouchi guards had already reached here, and Bai Zhen shouted angrily, "The prince was killed by them, and he killed them all, and I can't let any of them go!" ”

An hour later, the battle was finally over, with none of the twenty or so Assassins free, and almost all of Ouchi's guards were wounded, and eight of them were killed in the line of duty. Bai Zhen walked to the housekeeper's side, "Today I received news that someone is going to be unfavorable to the prince, so I immediately brought someone over, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late, I will go back to the palace to resume my life, please leave it to the housekeeper here!" ”

returned to the palace and told Qianlong in detail, of course, the two stones were naturally skipped by Bai Zhen, but he said that he was too late to rescue and caused King Lijun to be killed, "The minister is incompetent, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

Good job! Qianlong secretly praised in his heart, but shouted loudly, "What are you doing!" Since the entry of the Qing Dynasty, which prince has been killed by assassins in broad daylight in the capital? If I want to punish you severely, I will punish you for a year's wages! ”

There are many princes who have been killed by your father's blood drops, Bai Zhen's belly scolded, and after hearing the punishment, he was overjoyed, he did the right thing this time, how much is a mere year's salary? I'm afraid that my son will earn it back in one day when he goes to Yangzhou to be an official, Your Majesty is hiding people's eyes! Immediately kowtow, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Not to mention that Qianlong is proud here, the Empress Dowager Niu Colu in the depths of the harem is listening to what a eunuch is saying, and when he finishes speaking, the Empress Dowager nodded, "So you said that the prince of Lijun?" Okay, the mourning family knows, Chi Xuan, go down! ”

The eunuch bowed and retreated, she was the only one left in the palace, she took out a key from her sleeve to open the dark grid on the wall, looked at the lacquer plate in the dark grid, and saw a piece of yellow silk spread in the plate, and an iron box was placed on it. The Queen Mother picked up the iron box, opened the lid of the box, and took out a small scroll, outside the scroll was the word "Edict" written by King Yong himself, and there was a line of words next to it, "The country has changed, and the Prince of the Eight Banners will open it together." ”

The Queen Mother gently stroked the edict and said to herself, "It doesn't matter if King Lijun is dead, he knows that this secret is troublesome after all; Emperor, Emperor, you have to remember who you are now, and don't let me use this killer opportunity. ”
