It's night.

The moon stars are scarce.

The evening breeze is blowing, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

In the pavilion, a man in a brocade robe stood there, looking up at the moon.

The wind blew, lifting the jade tassels he wore on his coat and waist.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Show up when you come," his voice was cold as frost.

Before the words fell, two men appeared outside the pavilion, dressed in black, with black cloth on their faces, the most hidden dress in the night.

The king of Shunyang saw them clearly, and one of the men said, "Offended." ”

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and flew towards King Shunyang.

King Shunyang lifted his feet and flew backwards, avoiding the man's fist.

The moon hangs high overhead, the cloister is hung with lights and candles, and the gazebo is not dim.

The king of Shunyang didn't like to be served, so he withdrew everyone, yes, there was a fight here, and no one in the courtyard knew.

But even if you know, it's useless, it's two masters who come, and those small guys in the small courtyard are not enough for people to punch each other, and they will be sent to death when they come.

One man in black and King Shunyang fought, and the other stood there watching the battle, with no intention of going together.

However, King Shunyang's martial arts are strong, and the man in black can only fight a draw with him, and it is more difficult to hurt people.

The man in black was beaten back a few steps back, "Let's go together." ”

The two black-clothed men rushed over with their fists, and at this time, King Shunyang was a little overwhelmed.

However, they did not use weapons, only fists and feet.

During the fight, a man in black scratched through the brocade robe of King Shunyang, revealing his left arm.

After the man in black saw King Shunyang's arm clearly, King Shunyang took a few steps back when he slammed his fist over.

King Shunyang looked at his arm, his face cold.

Even more cold to him, the two men pulled out the soft sword from their waists and rushed over without saying a word.

A man in black can have a tie with the King of Shunyang, and he really can't parry the two, and after being stabbed in the arm, he can only escape.

The small courtyard was the closest to the Protector's Mansion, and King Shunyang could only flee to the Protector's Mansion.

Seeing him enter the Protector's Mansion, the two black-clothed men said, "Go back." ”

With the soft sword put away, the two jumped and disappeared into the vast night.

Inside the study.

The Protector was thinking about things, the window creaked and was rudely pushed open, the Protector frowned fiercely, and at a glance, he saw King Shunyang jumping in.

As soon as the Protector was about to speak, he saw King Shunyang covering his arm, and he was startled, "Why is it injured?" ”

King Shunyang said, "Someone assassinated me." ”

The Protector hurriedly asked people to bandage the wound of King Shunyang, the wound was not deep, but the Protector knew how high the man's martial arts were, and there were not many people who could hurt him, he said coldly, "How could someone assassinate you, except for my Protector Mansion and Jing'an Palace, who else knows that you live in Princess Jing'an's side courtyard?" ”

King Shunyang shook his head, he looked at the person who bandaged him, and the protector waved his hand and said, "You retreat first." ”

King Shunyang stood up, holding his arm with his hand, but it was not the injured one, and he said, "There are two assassins here, who didn't want my life at first, and made a conservative move, and after scratching my brocade robe and seeing my arm, they beckoned to kill me." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, they're supposed to be here to verify my identity."

There must really be a birthmark on King Shunyang's arm.

The Protector looked at the man's arm, he also wanted to know what birthmark King Shunyang had on his body, but the booklet when King Shunyang was born had long been missing, and when he asked Princess Jing'an, she didn't know.

Today, he sent the man into the palace, and neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor mentioned the birthmark, and they didn't know about it.

These people are already the closest people to King Shunyang, and they don't know who they will be sent to verify?

And the protector can't figure it out, if King Shunyang has a birthmark on his arm, it can be verified in a righteous and bright way, and it can be debunked in public, why bother so secretly?

The Lord Protector looked at the man, "Are you sure they want to see your arm?" ”

The man nodded, "I avoided it twice, and the last time they hit together, I couldn't avoid it, and the brocade robe was scratched by them." ”

It doesn't make sense to attack anywhere, except his left arm.

The Lord Protector did not speak, and his eyes were so unpredictable that one could not guess what he was thinking.

The man looked at him, "Grandpa Guo? ”

The Protector smiled, "This is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

The man was puzzled.

I saw a flash of knife light in front of me, followed by a pain in my arm, and my left arm was cut off by the protector.

The man gasped in pain.

The protector threw his sword on the ground, "Only those who suffer are the best of the best." ”

After speaking, he personally bandaged his wounds.

The man's injury looked shocking, but in fact, it was only a skin injury, and it was only a dressing dressing.

Jing'an Palace.

Den.

The prince was reading the book of soldiers, but he was obviously a little absent-minded, and he didn't see him turn a page for a long time.

There was movement, the prince put the book down, and there were two more men in black in the study.

The prince couldn't wait to say, "How?" ”

The two shook their heads in unison.

One of them said, "We examined King Shunyang's left arm and found no birthmark. ”

A trace of disappointment appeared in the prince's eyes.

The man in black continued, "King Shunyang's martial arts are extremely high, and the two of us joined forces to only hurt him, allowing him to escape into the Protector Mansion. ”

"The subordinates are not doing well, and I ask the prince to punish them."

The two men in black knelt down to plead guilty, and the prince sighed, "Get up." ”

The two dark guards glanced at each other, and their eyes were puzzled.

The prince knew that King Shunyang had a birthmark on his arm, so why didn't he tell the emperor directly, but secretly killed King Shunyang?

They have followed the prince for many years, except for the pit of the prince, they have always been above board at other times, and this time they acted really unexpectedly, and they are not like the prince's style of acting.

But although they wondered, as secret guards, none of them dared to ask more, and there was always a reason for the prince to do this.

They flashed out of the study, and the rest of the prince looked at the lamps and candles.

Following.

It's another sunny day.

Jiang Juan, as usual, slept in Qi Moyuan's arms, but today was different from usual, Qi Moyuan's body moved, and Jiang Juan woke up directly.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Moyuan's frowning brows, and she said, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Moyuan didn't speak, Jin Er stood aside and said, "King Shunyang has been assassinated." ”

A spirit struck, Jiang Juan's sleepy insect ran away, and she sat up suddenly, "Assassinated?" ”

Jin Er nodded again and again, "Early in the morning, the princess's courtyard sent someone to report that an assassin broke in last night and injured the king of Shunyang, and the princess and the county lord of Qinglan had rushed there. ”

If it was normal, how could Jin Er dare to enter the house casually, didn't even the county lord of Qinglan go, the prince had martial arts, and if the assassin was still in the courtyard, he could still protect the princess.

Bold, Jin Er went into the house to pray.

Qi Moyuan lifted the quilt and got out of bed, took the brocade robe and put it on, "I'll take a look." ”

Jiang Juan said, "I'll go too." ”

Qi Moyuan looked at her and said, "Don't go, the mother concubine didn't let you go together, and King Shunyang's injury shouldn't be serious." ”
