Chapter 21: Nightmare on a Moonlit Night

The winter nights are exceptionally cold.

At the beginning of the third watch, people who had worked hard all day had fallen asleep. The whole string city became silent, and occasionally there was the sound of bamboo bangs and dogs barking.

At this time, there are old men who have their daughters-in-law around and scold, and finally turn over and continue to dream of themselves.

The Shu Palace, which should have been the safest place in the entire Xian City, has now quietly infiltrated a few black shadows.

Although the group was small in number, it was able to quietly avoid the route of the guards' patrols and go straight to their goal.

The eaves of the corridor fly corners, and the palace is high.

It is the most imposing palace in the entire Shu Palace, and it is also the dormitory of the owner of the Shu Palace.

The five shadows passed over the heavy guards and quietly approached. Before the two guards guarding the door could react, they were killed by two daggers.

It was heavily guarded, and the time available to these dead men was limited. However, for these trained professional assassins, killing a person would not take much time.

The door was quietly opened, and the palace was cold and silent.

A window in the palace opened, and the moonlight shone through on the couch in the center of the dormitory.

The five Assassins glanced at each other and confirmed that their target was on the couch at the moment.

Xia Gong Nirvana slept deeply, lying on the couch, holding a small golden bowl in his left hand, and an ivory and jade spoon in his right hand, still muttering something in his mouth.

"If you don't do your homework, you won't be given food... How can you do that... Spank him for me... Don't you dare......"

Saying these half-cruel words, a smile appeared on Xia Gongni's face, and the corners of his mouth were curtailed.

The five assassins had never seen Xia Gong Ni's face, and they were all a little stunned for a moment when they heard Xia Gong Ne's dream whispering.

What did this girl dream about?

It's just that these dead men are determined-minded and cruel people after all, and they don't feel any shame or intolerance because their target is just a little girl.

An Assassin stepped forward with a venomized dagger, followed by several guards. If the guards outside the temple found out about the anomaly and rushed into the temple, they would be able to delay time.

These people have a clear division of labor, clever means, and a desire to die. Don't take heads, never retreat.

Little by little, the dagger glowing with cold light approached the sleeping Xia Gong Nirvana, but she didn't realize it.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, and the scene in the temple was suddenly dark.

The four Assassins behind saw a claw mark flash in front of the summer palace's nirvana in the darkness, followed by a muffled snort.

The clouds flipped and the moonlight fell on the earth.

When the view in the hall was clear, the dead man who had assassinated Xia Gong Nirvana had collapsed to the ground like mud, without any life.

Jian Chang touched the bloodshot between his fingers, and glanced at the four assassins with a pair of gloomy eyes.

There was no murderous aura, but the four dead men felt a chill rise over their bodies, as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast in the silence of the wilderness.

Jian Chang has been in the palace of the King of Shu for a long time, and no one has ever seen him really make a move. However, in the past 30 years, the situation in Yizhou has changed, but no one has been able to shake the position of Jian Chang in the heart of the former king Xia Yunhua.

He is the last line of defense guarding the Xia clan, and it is also the line of defense that reassures Xia Yunhua the most.

There was silence in the hall, and an unusual sound came from outside the hall, and the four dead men knew that their time was running out, so they simply rushed up.

The idea of these dead men was to go on all sides, and as long as one of them succeeded, their goal would be achieved.

With a sneer, Jian Chang made a move.

If time could stand still, it would be possible to see that at that moment, the figures of the four assassins were frozen in the air. And Jian Chang Shi is like a fish swimming in water, as if time cannot limit him, he makes a few bends in the air and falls.

Bang bang bang!

The three Assassins fell like kites that had lost their strings. With one hand, he grabbed the neck of the last Assassin and lifted him into the air.

"Who sent you?"

"Yang... Yang Xian! ”

Click! As if snapping a slender chopstick, the last assassin fell to the ground.

He stood in the middle of the temple, and although he looked thin, he was as strong as a mountain.

It seemed that the abnormality had finally been discovered outside the hall, and Huang Changshou hurried over with the guards. Seeing this scene in the hall, he was immediately shocked, and knelt in front of the summer palace Nirvana.

"The slave and maid were derelict in their duties, and let these young people get into the palace, please forgive the king."

There was a disturbance in the hall, and Xia Gong Nirvana sat up with confused eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Jian Chang frowned, his face showed concern, and said to Xia Gong Ni.

"The king doesn't need to worry, it's just a few assassins, and now it's been dealt with."

If it were an ordinary king, after hearing these words, even if he was not so frightened that he immediately stood up, he would be so frightened that he could not sleep.

But is Xia Gong Nirvana an ordinary king? As the great demon king who will stir up the world in the future, after hearing the words that someone was going to assassinate her, the little girl rubbed her eyes and sighed.

"Tap, don't disturb my sleep!"

After saying that, he continued to lie down.

“........”

Xia Gong Ni quickly fell asleep, and after waiting for the waiter, he stood up again, and his eyes focused on Huang Changshi.

"Arrest him!"

Although Huang Hao and Jian Chang are both middle and regular servants, their status is very different.

The guards behind Huang Hao heard Jian Chang's order and immediately got up and took it down.

"What do you mean? What did I do? ”

"Let me ask you, how did the assassins get into the palace?"

Jian Chang asked with a squint.

"What does this assassin have to do with me, don't slander me."

"Humph! And quibble! Before he died, the assassin confessed that he was sent by Prime Minister Yang Xian. In this inner palace, besides you, who else will help these assassins enter the palace? ”

"You... King... Slaves and maids are wronged! ”

Huang Hao couldn't please Jian Changshi, but he wanted to alarm Xia Gongni and let her intervene.

After all, he is Xia Gongne's playmate since childhood, and he has a deep relationship. At this moment, only if Xia Gong Nirvana intervened, he could be rescued.

It's a pity that Natsumiya Nirvana slept soundly. Regarding Huang Hao's almost pig-like howl, she just scratched her little face and reported the small golden bowl in her hand tighter.

Huang Hao was slapped twice in the mouth, and was soon taken off by the guards.

At this time, Qian Hun, another regular attendant in the palace, walked up with a flattering face.

"Jian Changshi, if Yang Xian really wants to assassinate the king, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Yang Xian was in the camp of the Changce army outside the city, and Qingyuwei was controlled by him again. If he really has a disobedient heart, the guards of our inner palace alone may not be able to withstand his attack. So be it! You go and summon Yan Yi and Zhang Bo into the palace, and I have something important to discuss with them. ”

"Slaves obey!"
