On the night of the fourth of August, King Jing's face could not be concealed with joy, pacing back and forth in the study of the other courtyard, and striking each other with his hands every once in a while, obviously very happy. He had already learned that the courtiers were collectively forced into the palace in the morning, and the emperor was in a coma in the court. Even if he barely sat down at his desk, he still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and now he was desperate to do something. "Hey, why hasn't Mr. come here yet? It's been a long time. He looked up at the water leak next to him, and found that he had not yet reached the agreed time, so he had to continue to wait impatiently, and he couldn't read the book he had been reading for the past few days. After more than half an hour, just when he couldn't bear it anymore, the stone door of the passage finally opened, so he hurriedly asked, "Sir, what a happy event!" Today, Lone learned that the imperial brother was in a coma above the court and has not woken up so far. ”

"Oh, are you sure? Who's the message? The masked man asked calmly, his tone completely unfluctuating, still the same as usual.

At this time, King Jing also calmed down and said, "Sir, rest assured, the news is absolutely reliable." He hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is news from the imperial history of the previous dynasty in the Imperial Palace, and then this king asked people to inquire about the news. ”

"Well, as I expected, the emperor's body can't hold it anymore. Since he was unconscious in front of the courtiers, it meant that there was no way to undo it. Ministers who see or hear about this will surely have a lot of ideas. Lord Wang, it's time for people's minds to change. The masked man turned his face and looked at King Jing sharply, as if he wanted to detect some clues in his face.

King Jing resurfaced with joy, and when he saw the masked man listening to him, he forcibly retracted, but the smile on the corner of his eyebrows couldn't be stopped. "Sir, what are we going to do next?"

"Wait!"

When King Jing heard him say this, he suddenly became anxious, and said with a little red on his face: "What! Have to wait? Sir, you just said that now is the time for people's minds to change, and if you don't seize the opportunity, you can miss it! If you miss this time, you will fall short! ”

After King Jing finished speaking, the masked man shook the folding fan in his hand, and then said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, what I just said is that the courtiers are in turmoil, but don't forget that the emperor is only in a coma and not critically ill. If the emperor wakes up tonight, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, then he can still control the entire court, but he is not as handy as before. In this case, all your actions now are self-defeating. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely let the prince disappear despite the opposition of the queen mother and the courtiers, because he senses the threat. Therefore, even if the courtiers will have the mind to consider the way back, it is not the best time to win people's hearts. Only when the emperor is critically ill, or even when his life hangs by a thread, will it be difficult for him to control the affairs of the court, and the courtiers will be anxious to consider the future, this is when the prince will start to solicit. ”

King Jing lowered his head and said nothing, his face was blue and white for a while. He knew that what the masked man said made a lot of sense, but in his heart he hated it, if the masked man had spoken out earlier, he wouldn't have acted so idiotic. However, he quickly adjusted his expression, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Sir is very right! If it weren't for the gentleman who taught me, I would have almost made a big mistake. ”

The masked man nodded slightly with his back to King Jing, and said casually: "The prince is still a little restless, and it is not too late to make a move when there is definite news." He didn't see the hatred hidden in King Jing's eyes.

"Well, everything is up to sir."

"What people! There are assassins! A hoarse scolding was followed by the sound of swords clashing in the backyard.

King Jing heard that someone had broken into the backyard, and it was very close to the study, and his face turned white with fright, and he was completely at a loss.

The masked man's pupils shrank, and he shouted in a low voice: "Lord Wang, let people take down this assassin!" If the conversation just now is leaked, I am afraid that you and I will be killed! ”

When King Jing heard this, his heart jumped, and he really felt a sense of impending disaster in his heart. "Yes, yes! Come on, kill the assassin for me. He finally got smart and didn't shout that he was the prince.

Hearing the shouts of their masters, the guards sacrificed their lives and squeezed forward, even causing a lot of chaos. They saw two men in black fighting fiercely as they moved swiftly towards the backyard wall. Anyway, it was not clear whether they were friends or foes, and the guards directly and desperately greeted the two people.

Xu Anping received Sun Yongcheng's paper ball a few days ago, and he was also suspicious of King Jing, so he decided to visit King Jing's mansion at night. At first, he carefully evaded the guards of the mansion and successfully approached the study in the backyard. Unexpectedly, I just overheard a few words of conversation between two people in the study, and I was called out. The person who came not only had superb skills and ruthless moves, but also called the guards to come and surround him, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, feeling that he might not be able to retreat tonight. When he saw the guards attacking the two of them at the same time indiscriminately, Xu Anping's heart moved, and he began to consciously and quietly slow down his pace to let the guards get closer. Because he was fleeing in front and the other Assassin was chasing after him, most of the attacks were picked up by the escort as they approached. When the other assassin was attacked by the guards and was in a bit of a hurry, he also swung his dagger and stabbed him hard, leaving a shallow wound on the opponent's body, as if he was deliberately cooperating with the guards to kill him.

"Ahh The assassin was wounded and became ferocious, swinging his sword and fighting back frantically, making it difficult for the many guards to get close. Seeing this, Xu Anping also quietly collected three points of strength, suddenly pulled out his legs and turned around and fled, and rushed to the courtyard wall not far away in a few steps. As long as he climbed over the rather high courtyard wall, no one could stop him. When he was still two feet away from the courtyard wall, he suddenly stopped in his heart, and his body forcibly leaned back to form an iron bridge. Under the reflection of the moonlight, I saw a flash of knife light in front of me, and a few strands of hair fluttering in front of Xu Anping's forehead fell on his chest.

It turned out that the head of the guard of the palace was hiding in the grass by the wall, and when he saw someone trying to escape over the wall, he slashed with his knife and wanted to leave the person behind. He was also stunned when he saw that Xu Anping could still dodge this fatal blow when he couldn't make a move, and he forgot the tricks that should have been connected in the back.

Xu Anping straightened up, his chest rising and falling sharply, even though it was only a few movements just now, it had caused a considerable burden on his body. He adjusted his breath slightly, and without giving the other party more opportunities to react, he attacked with a dagger.
