Chapter 42: The End of the Road
Tang Xiao stared at the giant hand that broke through the air and shouted, his body suddenly relaxed a lot, and he immediately bounced the dozen or so thunder shocks in his hand to the giant palm above his head. With a bang, the shape of the giant palm became light, and it was temporarily blocked by the explosion wave, taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Xiao jumped out and turned his head and rushed towards the palace.
This white-robed powerhouse wanted to catch the assassin alive so that he could take it back for interrogation, and he saw that the assassin's martial arts cultivation was very low, so he only used three points of strength to catch Tang Xiao, but he was blocked by the explosive power of Tang Xiao's more than a dozen thunder shocks, and let him slip out. However, the white-robed old man immediately squirted a breath of essence, and behind the huge palm, he grabbed Tang Xiao with another palm.
Tang Xiao saw that the giant palm behind him was forming again, and he was about to grab his body and suppress him again, and in a hurry, Tang Xiao swallowed all the remaining three 'stimulant' pills in his hand.
These pills are indeed stimulant drugs, but for a martial artist who has cultivated to only the human yuan level, it is completely equivalent to poison, and the toxicity is comparable to the poison in the world, if it weren't for the demon refining and quenching demon gourd to protect the dantian, and the ancestor of Zheng didn't know how many thousands of years of cultivation of the true qi body, let alone three, just one was enough for Tang Xiao to die seven or eight times.
Tang Xiao's heartbeat accelerated more than ten times again, his eyes all turned blood-red, and at the same time, he felt that his body was much lighter again, his feet were on the ground, and he stepped out dozens of meters away! Ordinary people can't see him clearly at all.
The white-robed old man found that Tang Xiao had actually escaped from him, and immediately stepped into the air and chased in the direction where Tang Xiao had escaped.
Tang Xiao didn't dare to run in one direction, but kept changing directions and scurrying, the white-robed old man actually lost Tang Xiao's trace, he had to spread his divine sense, and kept expanding the search range of his divine sense to locate and search for Tang Xiao's body breath.
Tang Xiao's speeding heart began to beat slowly, his consciousness gradually became a little blurred, his eyes were bleeding severely, and his vision became a little blurred, he knew that this was a symptom of the 'stimulant' effect was about to disappear, this confusion and eye bleeding should be the sequelae of taking too many stimulants.
Fortunately, there was no blood flowing in Tang Xiao's body, otherwise his eyes would definitely be covered with blood at this time, and he wouldn't be able to see anything clearly.
As his consciousness began to blur, Tang Xiao's body essence also quickly collapsed, and this time it was crooked, so that the white-robed old man's divine sense completely lost its goal, what he had just locked on was the strong Tang Xiao who had taken stimulants, and it was easy to distinguish, and now this Tang Xiao, who had a weak divine sense, could not be tracked and identified with his divine sense at all.
Vaguely, Tang Xiao found that everything in front of him was very familiar.
Is it Yitai Palace?
There is no way, now that he is at the end of his rope, he can only hide in here first, and as for whether Princess Yitai will save him, he can only resign himself to fate.
Tang Xiaoyi jumped into Yitai Palace from above the palace wall, because his speed was too fast, but his breath was very weak, and the two teams of patrol soldiers guarding outside the Yitai Palace actually failed to find him, but after he landed, he was almost hit by the two teams of Royal Forest Army soldiers inside the Yitai Palace.
Tang Xiao was able to avoid the two teams of Imperial Forest Army soldiers, and then avoided those palace maids and eunuchs, and rushed directly in the direction of the princess's bedroom in the depths of Yitai Palace.
Princess Yitai was going to take a bath, but there were assassins in the palace, and her uncle Fang Ji specially sent four teams of Imperial Forest Army soldiers here, two teams guarded outside the palace, and two teams guarded in the palace to protect Princess Yitai's safety.
After watching for a while and finding that nothing happened to her, Princess Yitai went to the bathroom, and at the moment she was bathing in the huge bathtub under the service of the two palace maids, and was about to get up and go back to the palace to sleep.
Princess Yitai was lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed, and suddenly the two palace maids around her screamed together, Princess Yitai opened her eyes and found that a masked assassin appeared in front of her bathtub, Princess Yitai was startled, and hurriedly prepared to shout with the palace maids, but the masked assassin had already taken off the mask, and said to her, 'This is stolen, give it to you', and then fell straight to the ground.
The two teams of Royal Forest Army soldiers who were on patrol and protection duty outside heard the screams and hurriedly rushed to this side, considering that the princess was bathing, they did not dare to rush in, but shouted outside: "Is there something wrong with the princess?" ”
"It's all right, a mouse...... It's already gone, don't come in, I'm taking a shower. Princess Yitai looked at Tang Xiao, who was extremely weak and fell to the ground in front of her, in shock, and replied to the Imperial Forest Army outside.
"Are you really okay?" The captain of the Imperial Forest Army asked again, and he was a little suspicious that the princess had been kidnapped, so he didn't dare to tell the truth.
"The princess is fine, but she was scared by the rats, we have just kicked her out of the window, you can continue to patrol." An older palace maid of seventeen or eighteen years old came out of it, talked to the patrol soldier with a calm face, and then retreated.
"Mouse?" The captain of the Imperial Forest Army was very suspicious in his heart, there had been no rat infestation in the palace for a long time, why did rats appear?
Although the captain of the Imperial Forest Army retreated, he also immediately spread the word, and soon several female Royal Forest Army soldiers rushed over to Yitai Palace, and without asking Princess Yitai for instructions, they directly broke into her bathing room.
"What are you doing!?" Finding that these female Imperial Forest Army soldiers broke in without saying a word, Princess Yitai, who was standing in the bathtub with her whole body, was suddenly furious, and hurriedly sat back in the bathtub covered with flower petals.
Tang Xiao, who pretended to be unconscious and was carried into the bathtub by Princess Yitai and the two palace maids, couldn't help but scold in his heart, brother is already very weak today, Yitai, you are so good to die and sit in another place, don't sit on your brother's face with your ass, okay? Want to suffocate my brother to death?
"I'm sorry, but the strict investigation of assassins in the palace is also for the safety of the princes and princesses." The female Imperial Guards soldier said as she looked around, and compared to the princess's anger, the assassin was sure that Princess Yitai's safety was more important to them.
The two palace maids were lying on the ground wiping something, and when the female Imperial Forest Army soldiers looked over, they just stood up, and the ground was clean and clean, and there was nothing abnormal.
After searching around again, there was no place to hide in Princess Yitai's bathroom, and several female Imperial Forest soldiers apologized to Princess Yitai and then exited the room.
After the female Imperial Forest soldiers withdrew, Princess Yitai hurriedly helped the 'unconscious' Tang Xiao up from the bathtub, she never expected that the assassin who made such a big deal tonight was actually Tang Xiao!
The problem is that when Tang Xiao rushed in, he actually had a bottle of Diyuan Dan in his hand! It was the bottle stolen by the eldest prince, and before he fell into a coma, he told her that it was stolen and given to her, which made Princess Yitai hesitate suddenly.
During the day, Tang Xiao did say in the carriage that he would steal the Yuan Dan from her, and said that he would help her become the female emperor and return to the Kyushu mainland to fight against Manchu and restore the country......
I didn't expect him to be serious!
He's an assassin for her! She was seriously injured for her sake! betrayed him in this situation, how can Princess Yitai, who has been upright and affectionate since childhood, be embarrassed?
trespassing on the Forbidden City, if you are caught, you will be killed!
When the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army outside asked about the situation inside, Princess Yitai made a ghost to say a word about the mouse and concealed it for Tang Xiao. But that was just a decision she made in a hurry, as for whether it was right or wrong to do so, she couldn't think clearly for the time being, and her heart was more afraid and fearful.
