Chapter 193: Waiting for the Dead (1)
His Royal Highness Xiu Ming, the soldiers shouted and raised their ges to surround the frightened Qi Hou.
On the Huming Palace, there is another world, quiet, silent, permeated with oppression.
Chen Yi and Wuxian stood facing each other, and there was only a short distance of two zhang between them. Chen Rei's sword should still be dripping with blood, but the sword of Wuxian is still hidden in its sheath, and the battle between them seems to never start, and it seems that the moment we blink our eyes, the sky will be dark.
I, Asu, and Siren Bi all opened their eyes wide, and no one dared to blink at this time.
Chen reversed, and the starlight and moonlight suddenly faded at this moment, and only the cold light on the blade was dazzling.
My heart jumped to my throat all of a sudden, and Ah Su, who had been grabbing my collar, suddenly grabbed my hand.
She was afraid that Chen would lose, and I was afraid that she would lose, so at this moment, we held each other's hands like this.
The shirtless sword came out of its sheath in the approaching cold light, stabbing one grid at a time, and in the desperate situation created by Chen Wei, it split a way of life.
Chen Wei raised his sword and attacked again, a dead sword, and when it came to his hands, it was carried by the wind and thunder, swallowing and withdrawing, hitting and intercepting, and countless sword lights surrounded the Wuxian group.
Wuxian in the sword mang, holding the sword in one hand and behind his waist with the other, Chen Rei's sword is getting faster and faster, but he is getting more and more stable in battle. An invisible copper wall seemed to have been built around him, and no matter how Chen Yi changed his sword moves, the tip of the sword could not get close to his body.
On the Xiuming Palace, two black shadows in the waves of silver light, ups and downs, I couldn't breathe.
Chen couldn't counterattack, but he couldn't get out without shirts, and between the stalemate, the archers in the palace had already rushed towards Xiu Ming Hall with torches.
Between the lightning and flint, Chen Wei suddenly pulled away, turned around and ran towards the east wall of the Xiuming Palace.
Shirtless put the sword into the sheath, but for some reason he didn't chase it.
At this time, Qi Hou's escort had just climbed the ladder and climbed up from the bottom. Four or five ladders, four or five people, rushed up at once and surrounded Chen Wei in the middle.
These people saw that Chen Wei had been fighting with a fish master for a long time without winning or losing, so they thought that they could take him down by relying on the large number of people. As a result, as soon as they surrounded Chen Wei, he picked them up one by one and smashed them off the roof. The other two rushed up desperately behind Chen Wei, and he turned around and cut his belly with a sword, and they all fell off the roof. Looking at those who had just climbed up and were still stepping on the ladder, which one still dared to move, everyone just watched Chen Yi stretch out his arms, jump off the Xiuming Palace, and disappear into the vast night.
Tonight's assassination failed!
Under a round of dark moon, Wuxian stood on the eaves of the temple and looked at the direction in which Chen Yi left. Qi Hou was surrounded by a group of people and entered the dormitory. More and more guards came from all directions of the Qi Palace with torches and gathered in front of the Xiuming Palace.
It was all over, and Ah Su stiffly let go of my hand and turned his head to look at the temple people.
The temple people looked at her and reassured: "Miss Su is scared? Don't worry, the Assassin won't be coming towards us towards the terrace. The girl should hurry back to the room to rest, I am afraid that the king will order a search of the palace later. ”
Asu nodded and looked at me sneeringly, then turned and entered the room without saying a word.
The temple man took my hand, and as the soldiers with torches rushed to the terrace, they ran into the room and gently closed the door.
"Did you know that someone was going to assassinate Qi Hou tonight?" As soon as I entered, I shook off his hand.
"Shh The temple man pulled me to sit on the bed, "How could I know such a thing? I saw that Miss Su was in a bad mood today, so I went out to enjoy the moon with me. Who would have expected such a thing to happen. The girl's face, does it still hurt? The temple man stretched out his hand to touch me, I covered my cheek and turned my head to avoid it, he sighed and said: "There is an assassin in the Xiuming Palace, who killed someone, why does the girl still want to run there desperately?" Miss Su is also worried about you! ”
"Py, don't say it! Let me be quiet. I stopped the temple people, turned over and climbed onto the bed, and covered my head with a thin silk quilt.
Gongzi Lu Biao should not have arrived in Linzi City at this time, why did Chen Heng choose to assassinate Qi Hou at this time? Has he been cornered by Kan Zhi and wants to start in advance? Judging from tonight's situation, Qi Hou's personal guards should not have been controlled by Chen Heng yet, but the archery team of those dozens of people obviously came too late.
If it weren't for Wuxian who happened to stay in the Qihou Palace tonight to conspire with a big matter, Chen Yi would probably have succeeded at this time.
If Qi Hou really died tonight, what would Chen Heng do next?
I was thinking about the possible plan behind Chen Heng, and suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door in my ears.
"Who?" The temple man walked to the door and asked tentatively.
"Open the door! Search for the Assassins! A deep, gruff voice came from outside the door.
"Brother guard, my girl has gone to bed early, how can there be any assassins in the house?" The temple man laughed and unfastened the wooden buckle on the door.
As soon as the door opened, five or six guards in armor and crowns, with torches in their hands, rushed in.
"Search! Behind the screen, inside the box, give me a good search! "For the swordsman, he pushed aside the temple man and kicked away the ice bucket I had placed by the door. The icy water mixed with the broken ice flowed all over the ground, and those dirty shoes stepped on the icy water, splashing a little muddy water, and countless messy black footprints were instantly imprinted on the pale cyan cattail mat.
Hmph, what's the use of searching the palace at this time? As soon as Chen Wei took off his mask, he could blend into the team of the palace search, even if these people turned the Qi Palace upside down, they would only return in vain.
I hugged the quilt against the wall, just waiting for the reckless men to finish their work and leave early.
The screens were knocked down, the wine on the shelves was smashed, and the clothes in the boxes were all poured to the floor. A group of people hurrahed and swept through my room like a raging wind.
"Big brother, it's all searched!" A young guard in his mid-twenties approached the man and whispered.
The tall, black man nodded, and suddenly strode towards me, and he swept around in front of me with a torch, and shouted, "Someone! Bring her out for me!
"What do you want to do? I didn't find the assassin, what are you doing with my girl! "The temple man stood in front of me with his arms.
The big man sneered, grabbed the back of his neck and threw him aside: "You rootless thing, what kind of hard bones are you here!" ”
The temple man staggered two steps and was grabbed by the guards behind him grinning at his arms. As soon as the big man waved his hand, the other two guards climbed onto the bed and tried to pull my quilt.
"You are looking for death! Don't touch her! With a roar of rage, the temple man broke away from the guards behind him, rushed up and firmly protected me.
What is he going to do? Are you afraid that I will be accepted, or do you not want me to fall into the hands of Qi Hou?
I looked at the thin back of the temple man, and suddenly felt a trace of confusion in my heart.
"V, I'm fine." I sighed softly behind his back, "Anyway, thank you for protecting me." ”
"Girl......"
I smiled at him, lifted the quilt and got down to the ground generously, bent down to pick up the robe on the ground and draped it on my body: "Let's go!" ”
"If you touch her, be careful that I will skin you later!" The temple man was pinched by the neck and pressed against the wall, and his mouth still screamed.
"Hahaha, don't play with this kind of temple man, be careful that he peels your skin!" The guards laughed uncontrollably when they finished speaking.
"It's coming!" The big guard smiled and loosened the hand on the temple's neck, turned around and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and slapped the templeman's head very loudly, directly slapping him to the ground.
At the other end of the terrace, Ah Su was also taken out. It's just that the person who escorted me was going in the direction of the Qi Marquis' dormitory, while Ah Su was escorted to the west.
I looked at Asu, and Asu looked at me, and the two teams got closer and closer.
As we were about to pass by, Asu suddenly kicked away the guards who were following her, and pounced on me with her feet. I hurriedly stepped back, and the guard standing beside me strode to grab her. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ah Su lowered his head, his body turned halfway, and he actually pulled out the sword on the swordsman's waist.
The three-foot bronze sword flashed in the air, as fast as an electric switch, and the wrist of the swordsman stretched out in mid-air was already bleeding.
Two teams and more than 20 guards hula all came up. Ah Suli ignored it, only had a pair of red eyes, and pointed the tip of his sword at me: "Who is Yu Shiyun?" It's Zhao Wuxian, right? You brought him into the palace, didn't you? ”
"I don't understand what you're saying? Yu Shi Yun is Yu Shi Yun, he is no one. I looked at the tip of the sword she pointed at the tip of my nose and replied indifferently.
"You're lying!" Ah Su stared into my eyes and snorted.
"I lie? You've told me a few more truths! I gently pulled the long sword from her hand with my fingers and sneered, "You know very well that you can't kill me, even if my life is in the palm of your hand, you can't be the master." ”
"You'll regret it, you fool." Ah Su's expression darkened, he lowered his head and laughed twice, then took the three-foot Qingfeng and threw it far away on the ground, "One day, you and I will see you again." When the time comes, I hope you can still laugh! ”
"Catch her!" The guards swarmed up and pulled Asu's head and pushed her to the ground.
Asu's head was pressed against the bluestone slab, her face was squeezed and twisted, but there was always a smile on the corner of her mouth.
This weird laugh sent chills down my heart.
"Alright, let's go!" The black-faced guard saw that I was standing still and pushed me hard behind me.
I took one last look at Ah Su and walked towards the Xiuming Palace.
At this moment, the Xiuming Hall is brightly lit around. At a glance, the inner three floors and the outer three floors are full of armored swordsmen holding torches. The corpses outside the main hall had been removed, and the white jade paved ground still had dark purple blood marks that had been dragged by people.
"People brought it." The black-faced man grabbed my arm and pulled me to the front of the Xiuming Palace.
