Inside the Second Prince's Mansion.

Duan Jingxun frowned deeply and closed his eyes and leaned back on the big chair in the study.

His mind quickly revisited the events of these days, and he always felt that something was wrong.

First, Xiao Tao was accidentally rescued, resulting in the loss of evidence that could directly accuse Duan Jingyi of the murder in the imperial city, and then the spies sent to monitor Dong Cheng disappeared for no reason.

It was as if there was some kind of force behind it that was dissolving everything he had arranged.

Although some of them were following his plan, such as the poisonous man being sent to the palace, Dong Cheng was no different, etc., Duan Jingxun just felt that something was wrong.

He had made sufficient preparations before, but now it seemed that all his strength had been dissipated in the cotton, and the poisonous people sent to the palace were also like stones sinking into the sea, and everything he had planned was now nothing that was really in his hands.

It made him panic.

Since he can't kill Duan Jingyi with one move now, Duan Jingxun naturally doesn't dare to move, but if the poisonous person can kill Emperor Duan in the palace and then forge the holy decree, then he can bypass Duan Jingyi's big trouble.

Thinking that Jing Xun couldn't sit still anymore, he hurriedly changed his clothes and ordered his subordinates to prepare a carriage and enter the palace immediately.

The carriage stopped outside the imperial city, and Duan Jingxun hurriedly entered the harem on the pretext of visiting his mother, but he did not go to Gao's residence but went to another Xinian Palace.

The red brick high wall glazed tiles of the Xi Nian Palace, the courtyard has the bronze statue of the four elephants and countless precious flowers.

Every time Duan Jingyi entered the palace under the guise of visiting his mother, he came here nine times out of ten, not to mention anything else, but even the concubine who lived here was a few levels higher than his mother, and those who wanted to fight for the supreme position naturally had to join forces with stronger allies.

Gu Xi was startled when Duan Jingxun appeared, she quietly left and right, and asked in a low voice.

"Didn't I tell you to come less, if the Holy One knew about it, how would you explain it!"

"Don't worry, I naturally came after inquiring."

Gu Xi frowned, and there was no other superfluous expression on her face except impatience, but even this could not hide her naturally beautiful appearance.

Gu Xi is the sister of the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu, who was sent to the palace since she was a child, starting from the personal maid beside the Queen Mother, and was loved by Emperor Duan with her outstanding appearance.

But there is no shortage of beauties in the palace.

Besides, the appearance is easy to get old, and the Gu family is not a famous family, and they can't be counted on at critical moments, Gu Xi has relied on his observation and ruthlessness to reach the concubine position in just a few years.

This beautiful and ruthless woman is by no means an idle person.

The reason why she was willing to secretly reach an alliance with Duan Jingxun was because both of them had greater ambitions, but this did not mean that she had to accept his interrogation at any time.

For example, the sentence he often says right now can make Gu Xi irritable every time.

"Niangniang, how are things going?"

Gu Xi naturally knew that he was referring to the use of poisonous people to harm Emperor Duan.

She endured the sarcasm in the corner of her eyes and sneered in her heart, the descendants of the royal family are easy to be conceited.

How could he easily be at his mercy and be a connector in the palace.

If he really poisoned Emperor Duan all at once, wouldn't he have spent all these years in vain, and when the time comes, if Duan Jingxun turns his face and denies it, it will be a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

But I have to say that the batch of poisonous little girls sent in by Duan Jingqi really did not disappoint her.

All the concubines who threatened her were sent to serve by poisonous people, and a few of them were really unsuitable for their bodies and could not get out of bed.

The poisonous person is in hand, is she still worried that she can't control the harem?

Seeing that Gu Xi was silent, Duan Jingxun's face immediately changed.

"Isn't it that you haven't sent people to your father's side yet? If you lie to me......"

"What's the hurry," Gu Xi eased his eyebrows slightly, there were not many poisonous people sent in the first batch, and she was still counting on Duan Jingxun to supply them again, but she couldn't offend her now, Gu Xi personally went over and poured him a cup of tea and handed it into his hand, "How can your father's side arrange people to go in casually." ”

Without waiting for Duan Jingxun to speak, she continued to reassure, "Besides, these poisonous people may not be really useful, I will try it in the harem first, and select the most poisonous one to arrange it in front of the palace is the most effective, the opportunity is rare, you can't waste it in vain, do you say it." ”

Duan Jingxun's face was still not good when he heard this, but he was indeed not as impatient as before, and he spoke.

"As long as the mother doesn't have other thoughts, if my father accidentally dies you, I won't be able to get any benefit, only if he doesn't have it in our hands."

"Understand, now it's all a grasshopper on a rope The palace will definitely be done as soon as possible, but you," Gu Xi pretended to be weak and sat down beside Duan Jingxun and said in a low voice, "I heard that the Sixth Prince has gone to Los Angeles?" You can't let him find out anything, once Meng Xiangtian has an accident, who will pay us to refine poisoners. ”

Duan Jingyi's eyes quenched coldness when he heard this, "I have already sent a killer out, even if he gets to Los Angeles, he can't return to the Imperial City!" ”

"That's good."

Gu Xi pulled him and whispered a few more words, and Duan Jingxun hurriedly left the palace after a while.

After he left, Gu Xi immediately put away the gentle look he had just now, and sneered disdainfully.

Just because he wants to be at his mercy? It's a joke.

……

Duan Jingxun sent out several batches of killers one after another, and the top of each martial arts was like a hemp.

At this time, Duan Jingqi, who was on the road, was listening to the sound of cold arrows behind him, and indifferently opened the package that Song Ming had prepared for him in the carriage, which contained some dry food and a manual that recorded the details of the basic officials in Los Angeles.

At the bottom of the package was 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

Duan Jingqi's heart warmed when he saw it, Song Ming still brought the money to himself.

After carefully collecting the money, he picked up the manual and looked at it without distraction, even if the fighting did not stop all the way, he did not have the slightest worry.

Because he knew that behind the horse's carriage were the many secret guards carefully selected by Duan Jingyi.

The current difficult mountain road is the best time to assassinate, and a large number of killers have chosen to do it here.

Just listen to a shout.

In an instant, hundreds of poisoned hidden weapons flew from the barren mountain road.

The dark weapon wrapped in dark cyan cold light was suddenly shocked by a huge force at the moment when it was about to pierce the carriage, and it flew back and flew back.

It was like an invisible giant net lying in front of him, and only a few crisp sounds could be heard, and the dark weapons flew back and forth, and before the killers could react, black shadows had already flashed in front of them.

Then there was a flash of cold light, and the killers had turned into corpses.

They barely saw who it was and how they came, and they only felt a chill in their throats and then they were silent.

The dark guards are all elite, and they are like ghostly figures fighting quickly.

In an instant, there was a blood mist, and in the blink of an eye, silence was restored on the mountain road, and the movement was so fast that people thought that all this was a phantom.

Obviously, they had already repelled the killer like this more than once, and the strange thing was that in addition to the secret guards sent by Duan Jingyi, there were several other people who were also dressed in black.

The two groups of people seemed to be unable to see anyone, just kill the enemy and protect Duan Jingqi, and then disappeared.

Even Duan Jingqi himself didn't know that there was a second group of people behind him to protect him.

At present, the more the killers appear in Los Angeles, the more often they appear, which makes Duan Jingqi a little firmer:

There must be something wrong with the drought in Los Angeles!
