Chapter 161: Assassin? What an assassin!

The person who came was the little eunuch next to Princess Yunjing, Zhou An had been an errand boy by Princess Yunjing's side, so he naturally recognized it, and he was still very impressed, because this little eunuch was the same age as Zhou An, but he was much taller than Zhou An and developed well.

Zhou An dropped the bowl directly and got up suddenly.

"Where? Qianshou Palace? Zhou An asked, feeling that something was wrong, Princess Yunjing used to live in Xichun Palace, and since the last assassination, she moved to live in Qianshou Palace, which is next to Qianwu Palace.

The Qianli Palace, where Zhou An is now located, is also next to the Qianwu Palace, and it is also close to the Qianshou Palace.

Therefore, if there is an assassination incident in Qianshou Palace, the movement is not small, and it is impossible for Zhou An not to hear it.

"Nope! No! The little eunuch who came to report the news had collapsed to the ground, panting and saying urgently: "Yes, it is Wan Huayuan, the martial arts training ground in the west of Wan Huayuan......

The martial arts training ground in the west of Wanhuayuan, which was originally a martial arts training ground for the emperor, is the largest martial arts training ground in the palace, and you can run horses.

Princess Yunjing would not go to that martial arts training ground when she practiced martial arts.

However, Zhou An knew that Princess Yunjing had begun to practice horse warfare recently, and although she could also run horses in the Qianshou Palace, as long as Princess Yunjing was willing...... But after all, there are still some things that can't be used, so Princess Yunjing has often gone to the West of Wanhuayuan to practice martial arts recently.

Zhou An didn't ask again.

The body turned into an afterimage in a flash, and when he got out of the gate, he jumped again, turned over to the upper room, and went straight to the West Martial Arts Training Field of Wanhuayuan.

Zhou An was very anxious, and his mind was also confused.

Another assassin assassinated Princess Cloudview?!

Is this also part of Wu Xukuan's plan? What is his purpose in wanting Princess Cloudview to die? To be sure, it is by no means to create any excuse for yourself, this trick was used last time, and it is still used this time, it seems too low-level, and it is unreasonable.

Princess Yunjing is very important, she is the number two person in the royal family, second only to the empress.

Her identity is comparable to that of the princes of all dynasties.

But the life and death of Princess Yunjing is actually not enough to affect the overall situation.

What's that for?

Why was there a second assassination?!

Zhou An, who was running wildly, suddenly shook his body and thought of a possibility.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the date of Wu Xukuan's real armed rebellion is getting closer and closer, the second forced palace, Prince Ning's entry into Beijing, and Kang Longji's imminent death, so many variables are placed here, Wu Xukuan must take them all into account and deal with them well, Wu Xukuan will inevitably calculate how the empress will prepare and fight back in so many variables.

And Wu Xukuan can never ignore a problem, that is, the empress fled from the Qianjing capital, no matter what he did, no matter how much he prepared, the empress's departure from the capital would be a big trouble for him, and it would be really endless trouble.

He wants to make sure that the empress can't escape, but even if the empress doesn't leave, she won't necessarily be captured alive by him, and death is more likely.

In fact, Wu Xukuan hoped that the empress would die, because he wanted to support Prince Lining as the emperor!

This involves a problem, Prince Ning is the legitimate successor to the throne of Emperor Xuanzong, not the legitimate successor of the female emperor's throne.

The empress has no queen.

But that doesn't mean she can't have a successor.

Because there is a person who has exactly the same conditions as the current Empress Shenzhao, and can be appointed as the successor!

That's Princess Cloudscape!

Princess Yunjing is also the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong and Empress Shendu, and she can be called "Gen Hongmiaozheng", if Empress Shenzhao can succeed to the throne, then she can too!

In the history of Dongqian, there was a situation of passing on the throne to the same generation, that is, when the emperor had no children, the throne was passed to the younger brother, and the elder brother and many small countries around Dongqian, there was a tradition, and this was a special situation in Dongqian, but it was not impossible.

And now that the empress is in power, in the same situation, it seems that it is not impossible for the empress to pass the throne to her sister.

This may be the reason why Princess Yunjing was assassinated twice.

Empress Shenzhao must not have a successor.

Otherwise, even if Empress Shenzhao died, it would still be a big trouble!

Zhou An's mind is very confused, it can be called anxious, the last time Princess Yunjing was assassinated, she was almost killed, and now the second assassination must be a stronger force.

Zhou An kept leaping and running wildly...... The martial arts training ground was quite far away from the Qianli Palace, but with Zhou An's speed, he didn't even need to use a cup of tea to run over, and after a while, Zhou An entered the Ten Thousand Gardens.

Because it is already night, the garden is quiet, a large number of rare and precious flowers and trees, and even rare vegetation that can only be found overseas, can be seen everywhere here, but some are withered and yellow, because they are not very green plants, and it is winter.

Zhou Ancai ran into the Ten Thousand Gardens and ran wildly to the lake, he wanted to step on the frozen lake and directly cross the entire Ten Thousand Gardens, but suddenly stopped.

Looking at the West Martial Arts Training Ground from afar, there is no fire over there, and it is quiet.

Zhou An turned around abruptly and glanced at it.

The wind is cold, and the garden under the night is full of dark shadows of trees.

Zhou An felt that he was so stupid, and he didn't know if he cared about it, so he lost his mind...... But he is now clear about one thing, and that is that he has been deceived and may die.

Quiet.

Only the wind was howling.

"Seriously, our family admires you very much, even the heavily guarded palace, you dare to sneak in alone, and dare to lay out here, how do you want to run? Or do you want to die with our family this time? Zhou An spoke, as if speaking into the air.

His hand was already on his waist, his eyes were constantly scanning, his expression seemed relaxed, but in fact he was highly nervous.

"What do you want to do with our flying sword technique?"

"I heard that you killed someone and asked for 10,000 taels of gold, so how about our family give you 20,000 taels of gold? You go to help our family kill Wu Xukuan, and after the matter is completed, our family will ask the Holy Lord to forgive you for your past crimes, what do you think? ”

It's still just the wind howling.

Zhou An twisted his neck, let out a sigh, and said, "Ghost-faced fox, haven't you come out yet?" ”

Rumble!

The snow in front of Zhou An suddenly exploded, and with the splashing of snowflakes, a figure dressed in eunuch green clothes came out of the ground, calm eyes, familiar faces, and the cold sword light were all reflected in Zhou An's eyes.

It was the little eunuch who went to Ning'an Yuan to report the news before.

But apparently, his face is fake.

He's a ghost-faced fox!

"Come on! Person! Na!! Zhou An screamed, and at the same time, the bloodless sword came out of its sheath and swung out thousands of sword lights.

Zhou An is already in the Outer Cultivation Perfection Realm, and the Inner Cultivation is in the Upper Grade Realm of the Earth Shattering Realm, plus his martial arts skills are extraordinary, and his abilities are diverse, so that it is not an exaggeration to say that his comprehensive strength is comparable to that of a half-step Tiangang.

However, the ghost-faced fox has the strength of the Tiangang Realm.

Therefore, Zhou An is still not his opponent, but he has become more resistant.

The two fought more than ten moves, although Zhou An was prepared in advance, not by the ghost-faced fox sneak attack, but still under the ribs of the sword, although the wound was not deep, but Zhou An felt numb under the ribs.

Poisonous!

The ghost-faced fox actually quenched poison on the sword!

However, because the poison is quenched on the sword, the amount is too small, and Zhou An's wound will not be contaminated too much, in this case, even if it is the world's first strange poison, it is impossible to poison Zhou An.

After all, the dosage is really too little and too little, in terms of Zhou An's physique, the poison can't hurt Zhou An at all, it just makes Zhou An's movements slow down a little, and then the poison will be suppressed by Zhou An's body, or it will be directly resolved.

Outside the body cultivators, the ability to resist poison is extremely strong, although Zhou An has not yet reached the point where a hundred poisons are invulnerable, but it is already very close, poison for him, if it is only a very small amount of contamination, any poison, can not hurt him.

It is very stupid to use poison on a powerful body refiner, unless the poison is put in the food, such a large amount, no matter how strong the body refiner is, if he eats and drinks a sufficient amount of highly poisonous things, he will also die.

But if it's just a weapon quenching poison, it's basically useless for a body refiner of Zhou An's level.

Obviously, Ghostface Fox is because he missed last time...... So this time, when I knew that Zhou An had a magical body, I used poison, and I also paid for it, and every drop of poison in the world is worth a thousand gold.

He should just want to create more opportunities for himself.

The attack of the ghost-faced fox was like a raging storm.

Zhou An struggled to cope.

The ghost-faced fox stabbed Zhou An again, this time it was Zhou An's right leg, Zhou An's right leg was numb, and at this moment, the ghost-faced fox raised his left hand in an instant.

In his left hand, he held a metal cylinder with holes at one end.

At the moment when he raised his hand.

Whoosh Whoosh –

A dense and piercing sound of breaking the air sounded, and countless silver needles hit Zhou An, like a rain of flowers in the sky.

Too fast!

It's too close!

Zhou An's right leg was numb, he couldn't react, and he couldn't dodge in an instant.

He swung his sword with all his might, and brought up a furious energy, guarding the vital points while knocking the silver needles away as much as possible.

Between the lightning and fire, most of the silver needles were knocked away by Zhou An, but some of them still hit him, these silver needles had a penetrating power that Zhou An could not understand, and they actually broke the defense of his skin, and he felt many places on his body, chest and abdomen, arms, under the ribs, etc., and at the same time a large area of numbness.

Poisonous, silver needles are poisonous!

Zhou An's whole person slowed down.
