Chapter 51: Night Detective
At midnight, the moon was shining.
Under the palace walls of the Great Qi Palace, there stood a thin figure dressed in night-walking black.
"What happened back then?"
"Su Wentang, does all this have anything to do with you?"
The letter did not mention anything about the events of that year, which made her feel a little unwilling.
Since her father didn't tell her, she could only investigate it slowly by herself.
In the palace, there will definitely be the clues she needs.
"Huh."
A hook appeared in Wanwan's hand, and with a flick of force, the iron hook was already embedded in the palace wall.
Tightly grasp the long rope in your hand, and step on the palace wall to jump up.
Although the palace wall was very high, it was not difficult for her.
*
In the palace, the guards are extremely strong.
Squad after squad of patrol guards passed her.
Through the darkness of the night, Wanwan carefully dodged.
Her figure flashed over the eaves of one palace after another.
"Go to the Secret Guard first, and then go to the Heart Cultivation Palace."
In her heart, she had already made up her mind.
"There's no clue here?"
In the midst of the secret guard, Wanwan carefully flipped through one surviving file after another, but these clues were of no use to her.
Her heart was full of disappointment.
*
Dormitory, heart palace.
"Hey."
"Before you know it, it's been ten years."
Emperor Jingde put down the imperial pen in his hand and muttered to himself with some emotion.
"Debao, you say, will he blame me, ten years have passed, and he hasn't gone to see him once?"
Emperor Jingde turned his head and asked softly to Debao, who was waiting on the side.
"Holy Lord, definitely not."
Debao knew who the saint was talking about.
"Hey."
"I just don't want to hurt the scene."
"It is said that the Son of Heaven is a lonely man, without a relative, and likewise without a friend."
"However, he is my only mentor and friend."
In Emperor Jingdedi's mind, one picture after another flashed. It was a happy time when he was young, and he overcame obstacles all the way.
Outside the door, Wanwan listened attentively, and this conversation made her frown slightly.
"Does it really have nothing to do with him?"
The affection he showed did not seem to be false.
The events of that year became more and more confusing.
"How is Concubine Xiu doing recently?"
Emperor Jingde suddenly changed the topic and asked him.
"It's fine."
"It's still the same as in the past, don't go out of the palace gate for half a step."
When Debao heard this, he replied to him very respectfully.
"Over the years, it's really hurt her."
When Emperor Jingde heard this, he nodded lightly and sighed.
"Aunt Xiu?"
When Wanwan heard this, her mind instantly remembered that amiable person.
When she was young, every time she came to the palace, Aunt Xiu would always make all kinds of delicious desserts for her. loves her in every way, like her own daughter.
"Who?"
An exclamation suddenly came, and Emperor Jingde and Debao were instantly shocked.
"Yes."
Xu didn't pay attention to it just now, and the sound of her breath was a little louder, obviously she had been discovered.
In the palace, there is such a master.
"Whoosh."
Wanwan dodged and wanted to leave here.
"Someone, there's an assassin."
In an instant, shouts rang out, and the entire palace was shaken.
"Assassins?"
Emperor Jingde frowned, it was incredible.
The palace has been comfortable for a long time, and I have never found such a bold and reckless person.
"It must be caught."
Emperor Jingde was very calm, and said lightly.
At this moment, the surroundings of the Heart Cultivation Hall have been quickly surrounded by a group of guards.
"Yes."
One after another, black shadows flashed out, all of them were the masters hidden in the palace to protect him.
"Huh."
On the eaves of the palace, Wanwan's light body was fully displayed, and she wanted to escape quickly.
She is not too arrogant, and with her strength, it is not enough to resist the joint strangulation of the palace master guards and the iron-blooded forbidden army.
"Stay."
In front of her, a middle-aged man in a black python robe suddenly appeared.
Stand quietly on top of the main hall, blocking her way.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man stood with a knife in his hand and asked lightly.
Seeing this scene, Wanwan frowned slightly.
This person's strength is on par with her.
"Get out of the way."
Wanwan didn't say a word, drew the sword in her hand, and rushed towards him quickly.
If she does it again, the other masters will arrive quickly, which is very unfavorable to her, and she must be solved quickly.
"Hmph, I can't help myself."
The long knife in his hand quickly unsheathed, glowing with a cold light.
"Bell."
The swords collided quickly, sending out sparks. Wanwan and the middle-aged man each took a few steps back.
"How can you have such strength?"
The middle-aged man frowned, although the assassin wore a veil, and could not make out her specific appearance. But he could still tell that the assassin was not too old.
He was shocked.
Being able to step into this step at a young age is really rare in the world.
"She must be caught."
In his heart, he had already made up his mind. He also wants to see who the person behind her will be?
"Catch the assassins."
The shouts in the distance were getting louder and louder.
"You can't fight, you have to leave quickly."
"Otherwise, it's hard to escape."
If a few more people surround her, I am afraid that there will be more luck tonight.
"Huh."
The long sword swung again, striking at the middle-aged man. At this moment, she used the fighting method of completely killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
At this time, she must fight hard.
"Whoosh."
Caught off guard for a moment, a deep sword wound had been left on the middle-aged man's arm.
Wanwan is still a little more skilled.
"Whoosh."
Seeing this scene, Wanwan did not continue to kill them all. In a flash, get out of here quickly.
"Hmph."
"Come when you want, leave when you want?"
"In the palace, is there a place where you can spread wild?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man continued to chase after her regardless of the injuries on his body.
Wanwan didn't look back, and continued to run wildly, fleeing quickly in the direction of the palace wall.
It's almost over, the palace wall is close in front of her, as long as she can climb over the wall, she can really survive.
"Whoosh."
Wanwan did not hesitate, and with a light touch of her toes, she had already stepped on the high palace wall.
The middle-aged man chasing after him saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
How is it possible to leave so easily?
Wanwan didn't notice that there was a middle-aged man who was also wearing a black python robe, who was hiding in the darkness at the moment.
In his hand, there was a pitch-black longbow nearly a man high.
The arrows were already on top of the longbow, and the cold was shining.
"Buzz."
Wanwan was about to jump under the palace walls to escape.
"Poof."
Mixed with a sound of breaking the sky, it came in an instant. The arrow hit her in the back, sending her tumbling beyond the palace walls in an instant.
"Huh."
The middle-aged man with a long knife in his hand quickly arrived here and stared under the palace walls.
However, nothing was found.
"What about people?"
The middle-aged man who was shooting an arrow also rushed over and asked him.
"I've escaped."
"Let's go, go and return to the Holy One."
He slowly tucked the long knife in his hand into its scabbard.
*
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
"Enlighten the saint, the micro-minister is not doing well, and please ask the saint to punish him."
The two men fell to their knees and said to him with a bit of self-reproach.
"Get up."
"Who are the Assassins?"
"To be able to escape from the two of you?"
When Emperor Jingde heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked them.
The deputy overseer of the Dark Guard, Yang Shen is good at swords, and Link is good at bowing.
The two of them joined forces, and the Assassin was able to escape.
"Wechen is incompetent."
"The Assassin wears a veil."
"I can't see what she looks like."
"But judging by her size, she should be a young woman."
Yang Shen replied respectfully, quite sure that the assassin was a woman.
"Huh."
"Young woman?"
When Emperor Jingde heard this, he chuckled.
When did a woman become so terrifying?
"Go down first."
"Strengthen the guard and take strict precautions."
Emperor Jingde waved his hand and sent the two out.
"Wechen retired."
Yang Shen and Link glanced at each other and slowly exited the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Emperor Jingde sat on the throne, frowned and thought seriously.
Who is it that wants to take his life?
