In the courtyard of the flower couple, Mu Bai fell asleep groggily under the service of the maid.

Outside the Flower Couple's Courtyard, several Assassins in nightwear were quietly infiltrating the Courtyard.

The pedestrian accurately calculated the time of the guard's shift, and the guards quietly sneaked into the courtyard beyond the outside.

But they found that in the courtyard, Fauber was already waiting for them.

Fauber poured himself a glass of wine, and after the wine was in his mouth, Fauber looked at the Assassins and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, why don't you sit down and have a drink with the old man when you come from afar?" ”

The Assassins drew their glittering knives and turned over to Fauber and stabbed him in the head.

Fauber waved his hand to catch the knife, and with his other hand flicked at the knife, the knife shattered.

At this time, another assassin had already come up behind Fauber, pulled out a dagger and stabbed Fauber in the back.

In a ghostly flash, after directly swapping places with the assassin behind him, Fauber crushed the wine glass in his hand, and after the wine glass shattered, the fragments flew towards the assassin, and the assassin screamed, and was directly pierced by the fragments of the wine glass, and fell to the ground without life.

When the other Assassins saw their companion dead, they threw out a ghost mist talisman, and the mist instantly overwhelmed Fauber's vision.

The Assassin took the opportunity to throw countless throwing knives at Fauber in the mist, and the knives pierced through the mist into Fauber's robes.

When the Assassins saw the hedgehog's robe, they cautiously approached it, only to find it empty when they approached it.

At this moment, countless cold air poured out of the robes, and the cold air froze the Assassins' feet, and countless ice picks flew out of the robes, shooting the Assassins to death.

When Fauber saw that the Assassin was dead, he handed over the guards of the annex to clean up the battlefield, and the guards dragged the Assassins down one by one.

Fauber said to the guards, "See if there are any clues on these assassins, and see who dares to come to the Royal Palace to assassinate!"

After examining the corpses, the guards said, "Fu Bo, these are all barbarians from Southern Xinjiang, and it may be that those tribes in Southern Xinjiang have come to take revenge. ”

Fauber asked, "Not monks, all ordinary dead soldiers?"

The guards nodded and said, "Only the magic talisman found on them is an ordinary barbarian dead soldier." ”

Fu Bo personally inspected the corpse of the dead soldier, touched his chin and muttered: "It shouldn't be, just these ordinary barbarian dead soldiers can't kill Mu Bai at all, is it really the revenge of the southern Xinjiang tribes? Wait? No! It may be to divert the tiger from the mountain!"

Fu Bo hurriedly stood up and shouted, "You guys come with me to Mr. Neitangmu's residence." ”

At this time, in the inner hall, a black-clothed monk leisurely walked to Mu Bai's room in the inner hall, and a circle of purple smoke floated out of the black-clothed monk's body, and after the smoke drifted into the servants' noses, the servants' eyes were in a trance, as if they didn't notice the entire black-clothed monk.

The blackfriar grabbed a servant and stretched out his palm to search for the servant's soul, and the servant screamed and shouted for help.

However, as if they hadn't heard, the servants around them went about their own business.

When the soul search was complete, the servant lay on the ground like a mud, and the blackfriar laughed and said, "Oh? ”

The black-clothed monk directly opened Mu Bai's door, and a cloud of purple smoke drifted onto Mu Bai's body.

At this time, Mu Bai slept even deeper, and Mu Bai dreamed that he and Mu Ziyu had finally met, and they were holding hands and playing by the river.

The terminal system suddenly appeared in Mu Bai's dream, kicked Mu Ziyu away, slapped Mu Bai is face, and said: "Host, don't dream! Wake up! Someone wants to kill you!"

The blackfriar sat on the table in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and controlled a maid with a knife as she approached Mu Bai step by step.

Just as the knife stabbed at Mu Bai, Mu Bai suddenly woke up, kicked away and stabbed his maid, and shouted at the black-clothed monk on the table: "Who are you, why did you come to kill me?"

When the black-clothed monk saw Mu Bai wake up, he said in surprise: "I underestimated you, but you can still wake up, it seems that you are also a little capable." ”

The black-clothed monk snapped his fingers, and in an instant, countless purple mist emanated from his body, and after the mist, more than a dozen black-clothed monks appeared in front of Mu Bai.

Mu Bai took out his sword from the head of the bed, looked at the dozen or so black-clothed monks who attacked him, and asked towards the terminal system in his mind: "Terminal, which is the real body?"

The terminal system chattered and said: "The Mu Ziyu in your dream is all fake, how can there be any real body." Host, I know you're at that age, too, but you also have to face reality. ”

Mu Bai was angry and said, "I asked which blackfriar is real?"

The terminal system awkwardly touched his head and said, "Oh, blackfriar, the one on the roof beam is real." ”

After hearing this, Mu Bai ignored the fake bodies that attacked him, and stabbed directly at the real body on the roof beam.

The black-clothed monk didn't expect Mu Bai to directly see through his fake body, narrowly dodged the stabbing sword, and said with palpitations: "I didn't expect you to have a delusional treasure, worthy of being a monk of the three families!"

Mu Bai didn't pay attention to the black-clothed monk, and wrapped his sword around the black-clothed monk.

The black-clothed monk threw out his robe and wrapped it around Mu Bai's sword, and slapped Mu Bai with a palm thunder in his left hand.

Mu Bai Imperial Qi Imperial Sword, the sword qi cut off the robe, and a sword stabbed into the palm thunder.

The blackfriar quickly retreated, sensing that someone was approaching quickly, and laughed: "Let you go today, and come to take your head next time." ”

Mu Bai rushed to the black-clothed monk with his sword and said, "The thief is gone!"

With a wave of his hand, the maids under his control rushed to Mu Bai, and he escaped through the window.

Mu Bai was stopped by the maids, knowing that they were under control, and he couldn't bear to hurt these maids, so he finally broke free, and the black-clothed monk was long gone.

Outside the door, Fu Bo led people to Mu Bai's room, and a spell hit the maids, and the maids all fell.

Fu Bo pleaded: "Let Mr. Mu be frightened, we will definitely find out the murderer." ”

Mu Bai said: "These assassins seem to be coming for me, but I don't seem to have any enemies in Yu Kingdom, it's really strange." ”

Fu Bo looked at the maid on the ground and said, "The royal courtyard here, I just found a barbarian dead soldier on the other side of the courtyard, maybe the barbarian tribe in southern Xinjiang came to assassinate the royal family, and I met Mr. by mistake. ”

Mu Bai asked strangely: "As far as I know, it seems that the Yu State and the Southern Xinjiang Barbarian tribes do not border, why would the Southern Xinjiang Barbarians send people to kill the royal family members of the Yu Kingdom." ”

Fu Bo said slowly: "Mr. Mu doesn't know, the barbarian tribe in southern Xinjiang has some grievances with the royal ancestors of the Yu Kingdom, and over the years, barbarians often come to the capital to assassinate members of the royal family. ”

Mu Bai bowed his head and said, "I see." ”

Fu Bo waved his hand for the guards to drag the maid down, and said to Mu Baishi: "I will arrange for the guards to escort at the door of Mr. Mu's room, please rest assured that Mr. Mu will rest." ”

Mu Bai hurriedly thanked him.

In the palace of Yuguo,

Emperor Yu looked at Jingzhao Yin Huolian who was trembling and kneeling below with anger on his face.

Huo Lian kowtowed to Emperor Yu with a cold sweat on his face and said, "The minister deserves death!"

Emperor Yu pointed at Huo Lian and scolded: "You don't even know that the dead soldiers of the barbarian tribe have mixed in the capital! and let them sneak into the royal courtyard, if I happen to be in the courtyard, then I have already become the soul of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang!"

Huo Lian lowered his head and didn't dare to answer Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yu said even more angrily: "The royal palace has been inhabited by members of the royal family since ancient times, if even the safety of the royal family members cannot be guaranteed, who in this capital can rest assured." ”

Huo Lian's sweat wet his whole body, kowtowed: "The minister is guilty, please Your Majesty for the sake of serving Your Majesty on weekdays, and allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”

Emperor Yu took a deep breath and said, "Quasi!"

Huo Lian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him and withdrew from the palace.

After Huo Lian left, Emperor Yu asked the old eunuch beside him, "Do you find out which of my rebels did it?" ”

The old eunuch bowed his head and replied: "It has been found that these barbarian dead soldiers are indeed barbarians in southern Xinjiang, but they have not found out who is in the capital to give them an internal response." ”

Emperor Yu nodded, and said: "Send someone to see where Huo Lian went after leaving the palace, if I guess correctly, Huo Lian is the person of the Great Prince, he should go to the Great Prince's mansion, and when Huo Lian comes out, you send assassins to kill him on the street." ”

The old eunuch replied: "It is indeed the direction of the Great Prince's Mansion, the old slave is a little puzzled, why he didn't kill him just now, but sent an assassin to kill him." ”

Emperor Yu intervened and said: "Because if I just killed him, it would be the law of the country on the surface that killed him." But sending an assassin to assassinate him, the meaning of killing him is different. There is already an undercurrent in the capital because of assassinations and rumors, and the assassination of people from the Great Prince's faction on the street will definitely make the situation in the entire capital even more tense, because people have already begun to die. ”

The old eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is wise!"

Emperor Yu asked again, "Is there any movement on the second side?"

The old eunuch replied: "In the past few days, His Majesty the Second Prince has been drinking wine and admiring flowers with the literati in the capital all day long, and chanting poems. It seems that he is trying to win over more literati, but after the rumors in the capital have risen, it seems that the effect is very poor. ”

Emperor Yu smiled and said to the old eunuch: "Isn't Mu Bai a disciple of the Confucian Academy, tomorrow in the Xiaoyue Courtyard in the name of the royal family, invite Mu Bai and the second child over, and some famous literati in the capital also invite over, I will add another fire to the situation in the capital." ”

The old eunuch lowered his head and asked, "What if Mu Bai doesn't come?"

Emperor Yu said with a smile: "I heard that Mu Bai used a sword to go to my treasury to get the Frost Moon Sword out, and it was used as the color of this poetry meeting." ”

The old eunuch pondered for a moment and said, "Prince, this color head seems to be a little too valuable, the Frost Moon Sword is one of the three swords left by the previous emperor, and legend has it that the Frost Moon Sword is a treasure given to the former emperor by a Confucian monk. ”

Emperor Yu said: "Only in this way will Mu Bai have to come, the Frost Moon Sword has been parked in the treasury for so many years, it's time to be born." ”
