Capital.

After the explosion, the capital was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Even those who entered the city were considered to have entered the city during this time, but they could not leave the city. An earth-shattering explosion almost entangled the hearts of all the people with a heart. At this time, although the guard is fierce, it is nothing to some people who can come and go.

Night.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer, coupled with the good weather, the night in the capital is also sparse and starry.

People who have nothing to do are discussing the earth-shattering explosion that happened a few days ago at the dinner table or in the Qinglou or at home, but every time they discuss this, they are very cautious, for fear that if the noise is a little louder, it will provoke the factory guards.

How did it explode?

Why did it explode?

Everyone in the discussion has their own guesses and ideas. Ordinary people just speculate with their own wild imagination, while people in officialdom think in a conspiracy theory way. As for the people in the rivers and lakes, it is a combination of the two conjectures, that is, wild conspiracy theories.

Of course.

No one really thought that the explosion was just an accident. On this point, they have reached a common understanding.

Meanwhile.

The remnants of the Jinpeng Dynasty have always had their own stronghold in the capital, and the convenience brought by the money and collusion with the government over the years has made them have a relatively stable place here. Besides, that remnant identity is still relatively easy to talk about at some point.

It is precisely because of this that the identity of Princess Danfeng is quite outstanding in some circles.

And today, the people gathered here find that things have changed.

It's been a few days, but their princess Danfeng hasn't appeared here, you must know that she stayed here a few days ago. But a few days ago, on the day of the explosion, Princess Danfeng disappeared.

At first they didn't care. After all, in ordinary times, Princess Danfeng will also deal with her own affairs and leave quietly for a few days. But for now...... As time passed, a sense of oppression that made people feel a little breathless inexplicably surfaced in their hearts.

And the source of this sense of oppression is the existence of "Thorny Langjun" Liu Yuhate and "Broken Intestine Swordsman" Xiao Qiuyu, one inside and one outside. You must know that in normal times, these two people are Princess Danfeng's guards, but Princess Danfeng left without taking her own guards...... Undoubtedly, something should have gone wrong.

"Do you know where the princess has gone?"

Liu Yuhate waved the iron hook in his hand, and asked a delicate little girl standing aside with a gloomy face, this little girl is no one else. It was Shangguan Feiyan's cousin Shangguan Xue'er. There was confusion in his eyes, and Liu Yu only felt that his mind was a little restless.

"I don't know."

Shaking her head, Shangguan Xue'er said that she didn't know where her cousin had gone. Although in normal times, the two sisters often travel together, but more often than not, they still have their own secrets with each other.

Especially when both of them are smart people, smart women.

It's just that Shangguan Xue'er's complexion at this time also looks a little unpleasant, obviously in this atmosphere, she also feels that her cousin is only afraid of doing something bad, this is her intuition.

Just when the two of them were worried. I heard a sharp sound roaring, and with a bang, it fell into the courtyard where the two of them were, making a mess of the flower field in the corner.

“！！！”

The sudden change caught people off guard for a while, and Liu Yuhe and Shangguan Xue'er couldn't help but be startled. Looking closely, the two found that the heavy object that fell in the corner was a person, and it was a person who was extremely familiar to the two.

It was Xiao Qiuyu, the "gut-breaking swordsman" who was guarding outside.

At this moment, the other party already has no sword in his hand, and he will not sigh in a lamenting tone, 'the autumn wind and autumn rain are sad'. It was just a corpse, and the blood that flowed beneath it.

"Who is it?"

Liu Yu hated his body and immediately blocked in front of Shangguan Xue'er. His eyes were not looking at Xiao Qiuyu's body, but he was constantly scanning the surroundings vigilantly, and his mouth was loud, "Why is it bad for us?" ”

Be vigilant, be vigilant.

Liu Yu hated his attention to the apex at this moment, Xiao Qiuyu's skills were similar to him, and it was very difficult for him to kill Xiao Qiuyu, but the person who came killed Xiao Qiuyu was obviously above him.

"Sword wound!"

Although Shangguan Xue'er, who was guarded behind, was a little pale, it was well concealed by the night, and there was not much tension except for her face. When Liu Yu was on guard all around, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Qiuyu's corpse, and she came to her own conclusion after looking at it for a long time: "I don't know if Your Excellency is the Dugu head of the Emei faction or the Ximen owner of Wanmei Villa, or the Baiyun City Lord of the South China Sea?" ”

Although Shangguan Xue'er's martial arts are only a three-legged cat, her vision is really not bad.

She knew very well how powerful Xiao Qiuyu was.

But such a person died on the sword, and the swordsmanship of the person who came was extremely superb, and there were few people who could have such superb swordsmanship in the rivers and lakes, and the only swordsmanship masters she knew were these few people. If it was one of the three, the result would be terrible, but if it wasn't...... Then the result is even more terrible.

Be quiet.

All that was left for them was a heavy silence.

Just as the two of them were about to make another move, a footstep came into their ears from far and near. The sound of footsteps made Liu Yuhe and Shangguan Xue'er both look in the direction of the sound at the same time.

At the same time, a gentle voice came in with the sound of footsteps.

"The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad."

"He felt so worried, so I had to send him there when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, so as not to be very sad."

As the voice fell, under the gaze of Shangguan Xue'er and Liu Yuhan, a tall figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and the other party was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, which covered the upper part of the body, making people unable to see the appearance of the person who came at all.

However, the brocade clothes in that suit told them that they were only afraid that they would be rich or expensive, and not only that, but what attracted the two more was a sword on the other party's right hand.

The sword is three feet long.

The whole sword looked straight and sharp, but in the eyes of the two of them, it was clear that the sword itself was a soft sword. The reason why it is so straight is due to the true qi that is wrapped around the sword's body.

The blade of the sword is unmatchedly sharp, and there is not the slightest trace of blood. This is a rare sword. Those who can use soft swords are naturally also masters of swords. This sword attracted the attention of Liu Yuhe and Shangguan Xue'er, so that the blood stains on the paper umbrella were naturally ignored by the two of them.

"Ban Rong poems are used by him like this, is this a self-proclaimed reader? Then what kind of rivers and lakes does he break through, he should take the imperial examination, maybe he can still be a champion or something. When he said this, the visitor was already standing in the courtyard, and the paper umbrella in his hand moved slightly, deflecting one side, revealing the head covered by the paper umbrella.

Glance at it. His gaze fell on the corpse of the Broken Intestine Swordsman Xiao Qiuyu.

Apparently.

I'm afraid that the words of the swordsman who broke the intestines before made the people who came very unhappy.

"Your Excellency is !!"

The umbrella holder's complaint did not attract the attention of Shangguan Xue'er and Liu Yuhe, and the two cared about other aspects. Their eyes fixed on the face of the visitor, and they found that the person who came was a rather handsome young man, who looked like an ordinary scholar. But the temperament of that body is extremely noble, just like ...... Princes and princesses alike.

The most important thing is this young man, they don't know.

Liu Yu hated the words, the young man didn't care at all, and seemed to be disdainful.

"This son, have we ever had a feud?"

Shangguan Xue'er's eyes rolled slightly, and her gaze was firmly fixed on the young man's face. said in a very pure and innocent tone.

"Feud?"

Tilting his head slightly, the young man's eyes fell on Shangguan Xue'er, a delicate little girl, and after a long silence, the young man shook his head and denied: "We don't seem to have a grudge." ”

"Your Excellency......"

Hearing this, Liu Yuhe and Shangguan Xue'er both felt a wave of anger rise in their hearts. They have not recruited anyone to provoke anyone to suffer such persecution, which is simply unjustified. For a while, both of them were extremely gloomy.

As if he felt the anger in the hearts of the two people in front of him, the young man's expression was very serious, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly. shook a sword flower and said, "That's right, there is no enmity between you and me...... But do you know where this soft sword came from? ”

"It's in the place of the explosion."

"So. It's just my anger. ”

Angry!

One sentence, one answer, suddenly made the atmosphere change sharply.

This is an unwarranted disaster, just the anger of the other party.

Almost at the moment when the words fell, Liu Yu hated to make a move.

The iron claw on his right wrist grabbed directly at the young man's wrist, and at the same time, the iron ball on his left hand came out of his hand and smashed towards the opponent with a roar. After the iron ball was released, Liu Yuhe had already replaced it with a short sword, which stabbed the fatal point of the young man's chest.

Meantime.

Shangguan Xue'er retreated and ran inside.

In the face of the sudden attack of the thorn-faced Langjun Liuyu, the young man did not dodge or dodge, and the soft sword in his hand was directly erected in front of him, blocking the iron ball that came first. The blade of the sword collided with the iron ball in mid-air, and the iron ball in Mars was like a ball of mud split in half by a soft sword, turning into two even halves and deflecting to the sides, smashing into the wall with two loud bangs.

It was followed by the short sword in Liu Yu's left hand, and the iron claw on his right hand was trying to grab the long sword in the young man's hand. It's just that when he saw the other party slashing the iron ball into two pieces with a sword, Liu Yuhan's face had changed greatly.

This is a rare sword.

His iron hand was afraid that he would not be able to grasp it.

It's just that it's too late to think about other things at this time.

In the face of Liu Yuhe's assassination swordsmanship, the young man waved the soft sword in his hand, but the sword body was straight but it was a sword that broke the opponent's assassination swordsmanship, and at the same time as the short sword fell, with a turn of the wrist, the sword body shook like water waves, and the straight sword body softened suddenly, like a poisonous snake, it rushed directly towards Liu Yuhe's right hand.

The soft sword bypassed the iron claw, and like a poisonous snake, it directly wrapped Liu Yuhan's right arm into a strong knot. Then, the paper umbrella on the young man's left hand moved down slightly, and his right hand pulled it violently.

Tear pull.

If the strip of cloth was suddenly torn, in Liu Yu's cry of pain, his right hand was torn off so vividly. Blood splashed, but it was blocked by the paper umbrella pressed down, and it was not splashed in the slightest, but only left a gorgeous blood stain on the paper umbrella.

His right hand shook. The arm torn off by the soft sword turned into a cloud of blood mist under the agitation of true qi. After the paper umbrella in his hand rotated, completely blocking the blood mist, the young man's eyes fell on Liu Yu's hate, who was constantly hindering, and suddenly his body was rioting, and the soft sword in his hand became straight again and turned into a sharp sword and stabbed straight away.

Laugh at!

“！！！”

The left hand gripped the sword blade tightly, and the red blood continued to slide down the sword blade, dotting the ground with bloody flowers. pursed his lips stiffly, and the thorny face of Lang Jun Liu, who was also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, turned red, and glared at the young man with an umbrella in front of him with great resentment, but in the depths of his eyes was fear and relief.

Facing Liu Yu's hateful eyes. The young boy ignored it. It's just that his right hand is slightly forced, and he pulls out the soft sword little by little.

How can flesh and blood be compared to a sword?

With the twitching of the sword body, Liu Yu's left hand couldn't grasp the sword body even if it was trying hard, only the sneer that made people feel cold kept in their ears. When the entire sword body was pulled out, the young man just glanced at the blood stains on the sword, and then with a tremble of his wrist, he shook off the blood stains on the sword, and then the person crossed Liu Yu'er and walked away in the direction of Shangguan Xue'er's escape.

Behind.

Liu Yuhe had already taken care of the sword wound on his left hand. didn't care about the torn right arm, he just clutched his throat with his injured left hand, trying to block something...... It's a pity that the blood is in the fingers. And the mouth gushing out.

Syllable!

As the blood gushed out, the strength of the body also dissipated. Liu Yu's knees were weak, so he knelt on the ground so straight, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Qiuyu's corpse in the corner. At this time, he finally knew how the Broken Intestine Swordsman Xiao Qiuyu died.

Good sword!

Good swordsmanship!

This was the last thought left before Liu Yu's hatred consciousness dissipated.

Wander all the way, draw your sword and kill people along the way.

Men and women, young and old, as long as they are living creatures. Even if it was a dog, all of them fell under the sword of the young man. After a while, the paper umbrella in his hand, which was originally white in color, had already been dyed blood red at this moment, and it looked extremely glamorous in his hand.

After the time of the two pillars of incense, Shangguan Xue'er was found by the young man in a secret room.

But at this time, even if Shangguan Xue'er was thinking and smart, she was so frightened that she trembled all over her body. Since she was a child, even though Shangguan Xue'er has seen a lot of things in the dark, she has never seen such a murderous person.

Just because of a sentence of anger, the Jinpeng Dynasty remained, and the people hiding in the capital were wiped out.

Such a person......

Did he think he was the Son of Heaven? When the Son of Heaven was angry, the blood flowed thousands of miles, and he also had the move to destroy the door.

It's a pity that Shangguan Xue'er is just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, and fear has completely filled her heart at this moment...... How so? Shangguan Xue'er didn't know who they had provoked to suffer such a catastrophe.

At this time, Shangguan Xue'er also knew that things had reached the most dangerous point. With such a killing, the lives of so many people didn't even care about the people around them, and it was obvious that someone in the government had specially isolated this place.

Who is it?

Who brought the disaster?

At this moment, Shangguan Xue'er had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she knew who had brought such a disaster.

It's a cousin, it's Shangguan Feiyan.

"Can you spare me? I can be a cow and a horse, I can ......" not to mention how angry and resentful Shangguan Xue'er was in Shangguan Feiyan in her heart, but in the end she begged for mercy, even if she was a slave or a maid, even if she was a cow or a horse, as long as she could survive, she was willing to do anything and was willing to agree. Even if he killed Shangguan Feiyan with his own hands, as long as he could survive, this would be fine.

"Huh."

The young man smiled, smiled very gently, like a good-tempered big brother, gently stroked Shangguan Xue'er's head with his right hand, kissed lightly with his lips against the little girl's ear, sniffed, and praised: "It's still a beautiful embryo, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a stunning beauty who captivates the country and the city." ”

The right hand touched down from her head, and in the face of such an action, Shangguan Xue'er just trembled like a motor, and even heard the clicking sound of teeth colliding up and down. Although the other party's palm is very warm, and it is extremely gentle to the touch, but in Shangguan Xue'er's heart, it is not felt at all, and there is a coldness.

"I can do anything, Childe, you want me."

Trembling her head, Shangguan Xue'er also gently rubbed the other party's palm with her side face. wants to deal with the charm of himself, and he uses a delicate tone to show that he does not resist, and he looks like he is tasting it.

"You are a beautiful little girl, and you are a smart little girl."

"When I see you, I think of myself when I was a child."

"So ......"

"Little girl, don't be stupid."

When he said this, the young man's right hand had already touched his chin from his cheek, and as this sentence fell, before Shangguan Xue'er could say anything, his right hand had already violently grasped her slender jade neck. Twist hard.

After the crunch, all that was left was the remaining doubts on Shangguan Xue'er's face, and the eyes that were wide and full of disbelief.

She wanted to ask why?

She can help find Shangguan Feiyan's figure, why......

The right hand was released, and Shangguan Xue'er's body fell to the ground. The young man did not look at the ground again, but turned and walked out, leaving only a sentence echoing in the secret room.

"Brother, let these people accompany you temporarily, and I also sent you a beautiful little girl. Wait for a while. I will settle the matter here, and I will let the Heavenly Bird Gate and the remnants of the Jinpeng Dynasty come down to make amends for you. ”

Outside.

A eunuch dressed in brocade was standing there respectfully, waiting for something.

After a while, I saw the young man who came out again. After the eunuch's gaze paused on the blood umbrella in the other party's hand, he stepped forward with great respect and said, "Your Highness......"

"Hah!"

Smiling slightly, the prince of Dingnan looked up and down at the chief eunuch in front of him, and then smiled and put the blood umbrella in his hand on the other party's hand. said: "The rest of the matter here is for you, Mr. Wang. ”

“……”

took the blood umbrella, the smell of blood on it was extremely pungent. But Chief Wang didn't care at all, he hadn't seen anything in the palace. It's just that one person killed all the people here, and the chickens and dogs were not left, which also shocked people with this murderous nature.

"That's right."

"Clean up well and get used to it."

Just as he walked out of the courtyard gate, the prince of Dingnan suddenly stopped, turned his head and instructed the prince who was standing behind with a blood umbrella: "Because on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Forbidden City also needs you to clean it like this." ”

After speaking, the prince of Dingnan had already left with a leisurely pace, leaving the chief manager Wang standing there holding an umbrella and looking at the back of the departing person under the moon.

……

Time flies, days go by in a flash.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

Some people are busy, some are waiting, some are fleeing.

But for some, the time has come.

Joy Inn.

Looking at the sky that had gradually darkened, Yue Yuan suddenly got up and said to Shang Xiuxun and Gongsun Lan, Ouyang Qing, and Xue Bing who were standing beside him, "It's time", and then the person stepped out of the room and left the Yuelai Inn in the flying black robes.

Dressed in black and robes, the whole person was shrouded in a mask, only the crescent moon decoration above his head formed a strange contrast with the full moon gradually rising in the sky.

Monthly shortage.

Full moon.

Yue Yuan walked on the street alone, and his strange outfit attracted the attention of countless people, but the strange posture and the huge pressure emanating from his body made the people around him not even dare to approach the range of ten zhang around him, at most they only dared to look at it from afar.

But just such a glance made them feel a burning pain in their eyes. The place where the footprints have been stepped on is actually empty all around, and this strange sign has stunned countless ordinary people and people in the rivers and lakes.

And the direction of Yue Yuan's goal is the direction of the Imperial City.

It is the seat of the Son of Heaven - the Forbidden City.

Because the decisive battle has arrived. (To be continued......)
