On the second day of Princess Yunjing's assassination, the entire Qianjing City was sealed and the assassins were searched in an all-round way.

On this day, Empress Shenzhao did not go to court.

On the third day of Princess Yunjing's assassination, Qianjing City was still under a comprehensive and strict investigation, and there were rumors. In the early morning of this day, Wu Xukuan, the Minister of the Cabinet General Military Aircraft, handed an excerpt to the empress, which probably means that for several months in a row, Ouchi launched a number of assassination incidents, and even there was a matter of private possession of weapons, which has threatened the safety of the saints, Ouchi must be a traitor, and the four guards of Ouchi cannot be trusted, etc.

In this way, Wu Xukuan was the empress of Ming, and he had used the tiger talisman to dispatch the 100,000 Zhongzhou troops stationed in the Sichuan River back to Beijing to change the protective driver!

The tiger talisman that can dispatch the world's soldiers and horses is in Wu Xukuan's hands, and he has not been returned!

Wu Xukuan sent someone to Chuanhe with an order on the second day after Princess Yunjing was assassinated, but he only found out about it on the morning of the third day!

He is this "cut first and then play"!

The reason for the transfer of troops can be called lame, but it can be justified.

After the news of Princess Yunjing's assassination came out, the princes and ministers of Qianjing City knew that this matter had nothing to do with Wu Xukuan, but they didn't think of Wu Xukuan's purpose for doing this, so what if Princess Yunjing was assassinated? It will not affect the situation of Wu Xukuan's confrontation with the empress.

It wasn't until this morning that Wu Xukuan understood that he had transferred troops back to Beijing, and everyone understood.

Wu Xukuan just needs a reason!

This reason is necessary!

Because Wu Xukuan has not really rebelled, although he has the power of the world, but this Dongqian Dynasty is still nominally the Emperor Zhao, and now it is not the time to really rebel, otherwise the world will be in chaos, Wu Xukuan wants not a broken dynasty, so he needs a reason, even if this reason is very lame, as long as he can transfer troops!

This is a bit self-defeating, and it can't stop anyone's mouth, but it works!

In this regard, the empress naturally disagreed!

It is said that in the early dynasty that day, the Empress Shenzhao, who had always been "cowardly" in front of Wu Xukuan, was rarely angry, and even Kang Longji, who rarely intervened in political affairs in the early dynasty, also said a few words to Wu Xukuan to Mai Mang.

The final result of the deliberations was that the appointment was revoked.

Wu Xukuan has no opinion on this.

As soon as the morning court ended, the empress sent Qin Cha to rush out of Beijing to Chuanhe, so that the 100,000 Zhongzhou troops would not come back.

However, for many days, the empress crawled out of four waves of envoys in a row, all of them left the Qianjing City, and there was no news, and all of them disappeared! The empress wants to prevent the 100,000 Zhongzhou troops from returning to the Qianjing City, of course she has this right, even if the tiger talisman is not in her hands.

However, the news could not be delivered to the camp of the 100,000 Zhongzhou troops at all.

Everyone was robbed and killed halfway!

The 100,000 Zhongzhou troops have already set off, and they only received Wu Xukuan's order to transfer troops, and they have never received the order from the empress to let them go back!

Zhongzhou was the center of the Dongqian Dynasty and the largest state, and the other three or five states together could have Zhongzhou.

The Chuanhe River, in the northernmost part of Zhongzhou, is a dangerous river that spans 2,000 miles and almost divides the north and south of the Dongqian Dynasty into two, and it is also the most important checkpoint for Zhongzhou's defense.

Dispatching 100,000 troops from the Sichuan River back to the Qianjing City needed to pass through the "Central Sichuan Corridor", which was a long way away and difficult to walk on mountain roads.

Therefore, the 100,000 Zhongzhou troops were still on the way, and they had not rushed back to Qianjing City until two days after Zhou An woke up, and they were not in a hurry, and it was estimated that it would take five or six days before they could arrive.

******

September 25, late at night.

Quiet Qianshou Palace.

This Qianshou Palace is next to the Qianwu Palace where the empress is located, and although the scale is not as large as the Qianwu Palace, it is not small. This was originally the queen's dormitory, and the last owner was Empress Xiaodun, who was later the Empress of Shendu.

After the Empress of Shendu ascended the throne, it was idle here for a while, and then the Empress of Shendu had male pets, and they all lived here, and after these male pets were killed by Kang Longji, they were idle again...... Until a few years ago, the Empress of Shendu was seriously ill, and in order to facilitate the treatment of the Empress of Shendu, it became the temporary residence of the imperial physician of her cronies.

Until today.

Because of the assassination in Xichun Palace, the ground of the house was destroyed a lot, and it needed to be rebuilt, and then considering the safety of Princess Yunjing, since the assassination, Princess Yunjing moved to live in Qianshou Palace, and all the eunuchs and palace maids who served her naturally followed.

Princess Yunjing lives in Shou'an Yuan in Qianshou Palace.

Zhou An has been living in Chang'an Yuan since he faked his death.

Chang'an Garden.

In the quiet dormitory, Zhou An sat alone on the soft collapse, crossed his knees and closed his eyes, his heart to the sky, his body was already glowing with red light, he was running the "Dragon Sutra" at the moment, tonight, he wanted to completely refine the poison of the five poisons and turn the blood palm.

In fact, two days ago, when his physical injury had just healed, he was able to start refining directly.

But he waited two days.

One is that if he directly refines the poison, it will arouse suspicion, of course, this is secondary, the main thing is that Zhou An is worried that his skills will decrease, Kang Longji is right, because this poison has entered Zhou An's vein, it is not a day or two, it is too long, if it is directly forcibly resolved, it is likely to leave sequelae, so that Zhou An's skills will decrease.

Two days ago, although Zhou An's physical injuries healed, his body was still weak, his qi and blood were lacking, and his state was not good.

So he raised it for two days, stabilized it for two days, and suppressed the poison for two days, and his body almost recovered, and only tonight he began to refine this poison.

Time passes.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhou An's breath suddenly fluctuated violently, he opened his eyes suddenly, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and then closed his eyes again, and entered a state of concentration again, not long after, his breath began to fluctuate again, and the strength of his breath gradually rose, reaching the extreme.

After a long time, the breath that had reached the extreme seemed to be boiling, climbing to a new height, and then slowly converging.

Soon, Zhou An's breath was completely restrained, and his pale face was a little ruddy.

"Fuxi...... Woe ...... It actually broke through! Hey! Zhou An whispered to himself and opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with essence.

He broke through!

The realm of internal strength, break through the realm of the highest grade!

As early as more than two months ago, after Zhou An refined the skill forcibly injected by Xu Jin, the realm reached the medium-grade earth-shattering realm, and it was already faintly close to the top-grade earth-shattering realm, but entering the earth-shattering realm and wanting to improve, it can be said that one step at a time, how could it be so easy to break through the realm.

In the realm of internal strength, Zhou An has not made much progress in the past two months, even if he cultivates the "Transformation Dragon Sutra", it is useless!

Until today, he has finally reached the next level!

As a result, Zhou An's current external cultivation body kung fu "Gangshen Technique" is above the middle-grade earth-shattering realm, comparable to the top-grade earth-shattering realm! However, Zhou An's internal cultivation has reached the real high-grade realm! His strength is by no means comparable to the ordinary top-grade earthly realm!

Other top-grade earth realms are ranked among the super-first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, whether it is internal cultivation skills or external cultivation bodies, they all have their own shortcomings and strengths, and their comprehensive strength will not be too bad.

But Zhou An is both internal and external!

He has both strong internal strength and an invulnerable physique, which is not as simple as one plus one equals two!

Now Zhou An, he has confidence, if he faces the tall assassin who almost slapped himself to death with the five poisonous blood palms, he will definitely be able to pinch him to death!

Even if the earth is perfect, the current Zhou An is confident to fight!

"Little pavilion, call someone to clean it." Zhou An glanced at the black blood he had just spurted out, and got up and shouted to the outside.

……

New day, morning.

Zhou An, who had completely recovered, went to see the Empress Shenzhao and stayed with the Empress for nearly an hour.

Midday.

Deep in the dungeon.

In a large cell, there was only one person, a tall man covered in scars, dressed in tattered clothes stained with blood, with iron chains on his wrists and ankles, and he sat in a corner covered with hay, motionless and expressionless.

He was the only assassin to be captured alive on the day of the assassination of Princess Cloudview!

Zhou An was seriously injured by him first with more than ten Vulcan Thunderbolts, and then he was almost killed by him with five poisonous blood palms!

Loud footsteps rang out in the corridor outside the cell, rapidly approaching.

Zhou An, who was wearing a Feiyan suit and already had some superior temperament, together with Gao Hong, the commander of the Shence Army, walked outside the door of the cell surrounded by a large group of people and looked at the blood-clothed man in the corner of the cell.

Zhou An almost died at his hands.

So at this moment, it can be said that the enemy is very red when they meet.

"He didn't say anything, all the great punishments were used...... He is the young master of the Pure Land Sect, this kind of person, all of whom have been cultivated by the Pure Land Sect since childhood, have absolute loyalty, not a dead man, better than a dead man, the saint hopes to get the evidence of Wu Xukuan's collusion with the Pure Land Sect, and needs him to testify against Wu Xukuan, but he has not said a word until now. Gao Hong said this very helplessly.

He's seen a lot of hard bones, so hard, it's the first time I've seen it!

"He doesn't say, doesn't he say okay?" Zhou An said in a sharp voice, looking at the blood-clothed figure, the corners of his mouth hooked up an upturned arc.

"Xiao Anzi, you can't make him a fool, you know that the truth is useless, he must tell it himself...... As long as it can be proved that Wu Xukuan colluded with the Pure Land Sect, those famous and decent families on the rivers and lakes will regard Wu Xukuan as an evil demon! Gao Hong reminded in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhou An said, and then raised his hand to signal, "Open the door for our family, and our family will interrogate him!" ”

"Yes!" The cell boss immediately stepped forward and opened the door to the cell.
