That night, not long after Zhou An's assassination, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed to the Yamen of Dongchang.

The Tiance army arrived, and Su Chengguo also arrived as soon as the commander of the Tiance army, but the assassin had already fled, Zhou An was seriously injured and passed out.

Deep in the East Factory, in the courtyard.

Twelve corpses were neatly placed in front of the door of the house, all of them were eunuchs killed by the ghost-faced fox, and this was just a direct death, and the other eunuchs were all injured, and there were many who were seriously injured.

And the three old eunuchs of the Earth Hell Realm who protected Zhou An were two dead and one seriously injured, only the middle-grade old eunuch of the Earth Hell Realm who initially fought with the ghost-faced fox was hit by a sword in the abdomen, although he was the first to lose his combat effectiveness, but he survived by luck, and the other two old eunuchs of the lower grade Earth Hell Realm were all killed on the spot.

From the assassination to the final escape, the ghost-faced fox did not take more than the effort of the tea, but it caused extremely serious casualties to the Dongchang Yamen, which ...... In fact, it is not surprising, what is really surprising is that Zhou An survived.

It's a miracle.

It's scary to think about it.

Even Kanglongji is the same.

Although it has always been doubtful whether the ghost-faced fox is in the Tiangang Realm, it is undoubted that he can indeed exert the strength of the Tiangang Realm when assassinating.

This can be seen as a Tiangang realm raiding the Dongchang Yamen, and it is not surprising how many people he killed.

Tiangang Realm is extremely rare, even if it is the Dongqian Imperial Court, Tiangang Realm is also only a handful, except for Kang Longji and Wu Xukuan, most of the Tiangang Realm in Dongqian are in the army, either the fierce generals who move the world, or the feudal officials who defend one side, they can be called the weapons of the town.

The destructive power of the Tiangang Realm's assassination is enough to make anyone frightened.

Kang Longji looked at the corpses with a deep gaze.

"Chief, this is the cross......bow found on the tree behind the Duke of Zhou's house," Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance Army, came over to report, and he also dragged an extremely delicate-looking crossbow in his hand, "This crossbow is connected by extremely fine ink silk, and it can be used to pull the ink silk to launch crossbow arrows from a distance......"

Kang Longji took the crossbow and looked at it, without words.

He had just checked the traces of the scene, and already had a general understanding of the ghost-faced fox's assassination.

The function of this crossbow is to sneak attack, and the second is to influence Zhou An's judgment of the direction of the enemy, to put it bluntly, this crossbow can create an excellent opportunity for the ghost-faced fox to shoot.

******

In the early morning of the 26th day of the winter month, when the people of Qianjing City woke up from their sleep to start a new day, they found that the entire Qianjing City had been blockaded, and the large-scale search and arrest operation had lasted all night.

The number one celebrity in front of the Empress Shenzhao, the eunuch Bingbi of the inner court, and the eunuch Zhou An, the governor of the East Detective Factory, was assassinated last night!

The news spread like the wind, causing a sensation in Qianjing City!

The assassination of the ghost-faced fox has set off a monstrous wave in the rivers and lakes.

Ghost-faced fox only kills two people every year, and in the eighteen years since its debut, a total of thirty-six people have been killed!

Zhou An is the thirty-seventh!

He was also the fourth to be killed without a single assassination!

It is the only one who has not been killed by the ghost-faced fox in the Tiangang Realm!

This directly casts a layer of magic on Zhou An.

Speaking of being assassinated, it is naturally a very humiliating thing, when Princess Yunjing was assassinated by the Pure Land Sect, the imperial court was not even willing to publicize this matter, regardless of whether the assassination of the Pure Land Sect was successful or not, Princess Yunjing would be assassinated in the palace, which shows that there is a problem with the patrol force in the palace, which is a reputation blow to the royal family and the imperial court.

But Zhou An's matter, he was assassinated, he was almost killed, and Dongchang killed a group of masters for him.

But, there's no shame in that!

Because it was the world's number one assassin, Ghost-faced Fox, who shot it!

As a result, it is not only the ghost-faced fox whose strength is doubtful now, but also Zhou An's strength! What kind of strength does he have to survive the assassination of the ghost-faced fox?!

Because of this incident, Zhou An can be said to be a big shock to the fame of the rivers and lakes!

However, as long as the people in the rivers and lakes talk about this, they still sigh more that they are not optimistic about Zhou An's future.

Because the ghost-faced fox will assassinate again, and if the ghost-faced fox assassinates once, then twice, and if it doesn't work twice, then three times! Never die! As long as the person who is targeted by the ghost-faced fox is assassinated for the first time and does not die, after that, he will live in a nightmare of panic.

No one knows when and where Ghostface will strike next.

……

On this day, the empress retired from the dynasty.

didn't go to the early dynasty, because the empress was not in the mood, Zhou An's assassination gave her a great blow, and she was even more concerned about Zhou An's safety, because Zhou An is now her vanguard against Wu Xukuan, because Kang Longji is inconvenient to go out of the palace to do business, so it can even be said that Zhou An is the number one person in the empress's fight against Wu Xukuan!

In many ways, Zhou An has an irreplaceable role!

If Zhou An is dead, and the empress knows that Kang Longji may not survive this winter, then ...... Is there any hope?

And now, although Zhou An did not die directly, he was targeted by the ghost-faced fox.

This cast a very thick haze on the empress's heart.

Morning.

Qianli Palace, Ning'an Garden.

"The Holy One has arrived!" There was a little eunuch singing the newspaper outside the door.

The empress finally couldn't sit still and came to visit Zhou An in person...... Zhou An was taken back to the palace last night, and now, when the empress came to visit him in person, Princess Yunjing and Kang Longji were both here.

Princess Cloudview came early in the morning.

Kang Longji stayed with Zhou An all night and observed Zhou An's physical condition in real time.

"Kang Gong, how is Xiao Anzi?" The empress walked to the bed, looked at Zhou An on the bed and asked.

Zhou An on the bed had changed into clean clothes, and there were no scars on his body, but his breath was very weak.

"Xiao Anzi used the forbidden method to forcibly use the flying sword technique, which barely resisted the ghost-faced fox, fortunately, the ghost-faced fox escaped quickly, if he was entangled for a while, Xiao Anzi was afraid that he would be killed on the spot......" Kang Longji got up and said, "Now, the wounds on Xiao Anzi's body have healed themselves, but his spirit is unstable, and his qi and blood are lacking, but he is also slowly recovering, and he has no worries about his life......"

When Zhou An just fell, he was very seriously injured.

But he was able to heal himself, so now it's not much of a problem.

Hearing Kang Longji say this, the empress breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "When will he wake up?" ”

"I can't say, but it could happen at any time." Kanglongji Road.

That's when it happened.

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem! Zhou An on the bed suddenly began to cough violently, and it was a coincidence that he just woke up at this moment.

"Xiao Anzi is awake!" Princess Yunjing said happily on the side.

Zhou An coughed and opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, but he soon regained his clarity, he remembered what happened, and immediately tilted his head, very weak, and his eyes quickly swept away.

He saw the empress, Kang Longji, Princess Yunjing and others, but they all ignored them.

He surprisingly didn't get up to greet them immediately, but was glancing, as if he was looking for something, very anxious.

"Xiao Anzi, what are you looking for? Talk to me. The empress said, now what Zhou An wants, she will be satisfied.

"Sword, where is my sword, sword!" Zhou An spoke, his voice was very low and hoarse, he didn't call himself our family or a slave, but called himself me, which shows how anxious he was.

"Here, here......" Princess Yunjing interjected, and Zhou An's sword was stored in a scabbard shaped like a belt, and it was placed on the table not far from the bed.

Princess Yunjing picked it up and gestured to Zhou An.

"Give it to me, give it to me......" Zhou An stretched out his hand.

I didn't know what Zhou An was doing in such a hurry, so Princess Yunjing stepped forward directly and handed over the scabbard of her belt.

Zhou An got it and immediately drew out the bloodless sword.

The crimson sword body is densely textured...... Zhou An took a closer look and looked at the sword body very carefully, the reason why the bloodless sword is called a bloodless sword is because it is fast and does not stain blood, and the second is that its sword body is red, and it can't be seen when it is stained with blood.

Whether it is stained with blood or not, you have to see the speed of the sword.

Zhou An is looking for blood on it at the moment!

At that time, the ghost-faced fox fled, but Zhou An returned to the sword and sheath for the first time, and then fell, that step could have been saved, but Zhou An still held on to collect the sword, just because, he didn't want someone to wipe his sword, he needed the blood on the sword.

It's the blood of the ghost-faced fox!

He saw it!

The Bloodless Sword once injured the Ghost-Faced Fox, and at that time, the Bloodless Sword suddenly changed its moves, because of the unreasonable sudden change, the Ghost-faced Fox was caught off guard and was injured in the shoulder blade, and the sword that injured the Ghost-faced Fox was not very fast, but the change was sudden.

Sure enough, there was blood left on the sword.

Zhou An was finally relieved.

"Xiao Anzi, what are you doing?" Princess Yunjing asked, tilting her head.

"I can find the Ghost-faced Fox!" Zhou An raised his head and said.
