Chapter 672: Chance Encounter

Qin Yunluo's life in the capital was not good, how good was Duan Xingzhen's life in Qi State?

He misses the people who are thousands of miles away now, but he can't go back until the task at hand is completed.

Whether it was Hei Ren or Bai Nian, or these people in Yue Rui City, they could all feel that the aura on Duan Xingzhen's body was becoming more and more condensed.

Duan Xingzhen stood up straight, and then said, "Visit the palace one last time tonight." ”

They already know that now that the Ji Dynasty has deepened the martial law on the border passes, they should already know what is happening now, so this time is the most suitable opportunity for spying.

"Yes."

Yue Ruicheng and several others also had excitement on their faces, they had stayed here for so long, and they had never found a suitable opportunity, but now they finally had a chance.

Duan Xingzhen slowly stroked the jade pendant on his waist, the whole person looked lonely and indifferent, but the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at the jade pendant was about to drown.

Several people sneaked into the palace late at night, scattered, and nimbly walked towards all corners of the palace.

Duan Xingzhen went to the emperor's study alone, and after lifting the tiles, he unexpectedly saw Qi Sheng, the emperor of Qi State, and Qi Ming, the crown prince of Qi State.

"Father, now that the Ji Dynasty has begun to tighten the garrison at the border gates, has it discovered our current moves?"

Qi Sheng directly denied it without hesitation, "No, I have been planning with you for so many years, if there is really anything, I must have discovered it a long time ago." ”

"Moreover, you and I have been careful these days, and it is impossible to leave a little mistake, you can rest assured."

Qi Ming was still a little worried, after all, the Ji Dynasty had suddenly strengthened its troops, and had also sent 100,000 troops over.

Nothing happened in the Ji Dynasty, and these actions seemed completely unreasonable.

"It's just that Father, be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship, do you say that you will search the imperial city first, in case the Ji Dynasty sends a spy over there?"

Qi Sheng thought about it and felt that what Qi Ming said was reasonable, so he immediately agreed.

"I'll leave this matter to you, be careful, don't be caught, if you succeed this time, your and my names will be recorded in the annals of history."

"Yes, my son obeys."

After listening to the conversation between the father and son on the roof, Duan Xingzhen had a rough idea in his heart, and then planned to leave.

But coincidentally, when he left, he happened to bump into a pair of wild mandarin ducks, and before he had time to kill people, he was discovered.

"Someone, there's an assassin, escort!"

Duan Xingzhen only heard the sound of ping-pong bells, and a large number of guards surrounded him from all directions, and Duan Xingzhen happened to be in the middle of them.

Whether it is inferred according to common sense or overplayed, it is impossible for him to get out of the way this time.

"Whoever catches someone first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver in this palace."

Hearing Qi Ming's words, all the guards immediately surrounded him.

Qi Ming stood not far away and observed every move here, but he only vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, and if he insisted on saying who it was, it seemed that he really couldn't say it.

Duan Xingzhen was forced by the guards to retreat, and the corpse lying on the ground at his feet, the wound that had just been accidentally cut had begun to turn black.

These people actually use poison!

His lips turned an ugly black, and he looked horrible.

Fighting with the last bit of strength to bounce the person in front of him away, Duan Xingzhen put down a smoke bomb and fled directly.

Unconsciously entered a palace.

Looking at the graceful figure in front of him, Duan Xingzhen stepped forward without pity and directly grabbed the person's neck, and then said, "Don't tell anyone that I've been here, otherwise I'll kill you right now." ”

The woman was obviously frightened by Duan Xingzhen at this moment, and she couldn't see what the person behind her was like, she could only feel the hot air blowing on her neck one after another.

She said in a trembling voice, "Please rest assured, I won't yell or scream." ”

Duan Xingzhen was still a little uneasy, and increased the strength in his hand, and just when the woman was about to lose her breath, the whole person fell directly behind her.

The woman accidentally fell on top of him.

She rubbed her arm that was a little painful, and after getting up, she looked at Duan Xingzhen lying on the ground, gritted her teeth, and dragged the person to the inner room.

The woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, opened the mask on his face, and couldn't help but hold her breath as she looked at the face, and then buckled it back again.

The woman patted her cheek, knowing that Duan Xingzhen was now poisoned, and according to what she had learned before, she took the hairpin and directly dissolved his index finger.

After the blood had drained and the color of the blood had turned bright red, it helped him start bandaging.

By the time everything was done, it was already sunset.

The woman rubbed her stomach and went to the kitchen.

When Duan Xingzhen woke up, it was pitch black in front of him, and before his thoughts could return, he heard bursts of sounds from outside, as well as the sound of some pots and pans falling to the ground.

Then there was the sound of a large number of people coming inside, interspersed with the soft blocking of some women.

"There is no one in there, if you break in again, this palace will not be able to spare you."

"Please also ask the fifth princess to forgive her sins, and wait for her subordinates and others to search before asking the princess for her guilt."

Although he said that, he didn't take the woman in his eyes at all, and just broke in regardless of it, and didn't see anyone.

The man paused for a moment, looked at the woman in front of him, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you, princess." ”

After everyone left, the woman lost her strength and sat on the ground, fortunately the place had been cleaned up before, if people found out, I was afraid that it would ......

Thinking of that possibility, the woman couldn't help but shudder, and then thought of Duan Xingzhen's farewell, and was slightly stunned before smiling self-deprecatingly.

So when she looked up and saw the man standing in front of her, she was still a little incredulous.

"Aren't you long gone? Why? ”

Duan Xingzhen said stiffly, "Thank you." ”

After Duan Xingzhen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but his sleeve was pulled by the woman behind him.

Seeing Duan Xingzhen frowning, the woman took her hand back in annoyance, secretly annoyed why she pulled it up so quickly just now.

"Childe, now Childe is still injured, it is not appropriate to move around, and after Childe made such a fuss today, the palace must be under martial law, and Childe is now ...... It's impossible to get out. ”

It was obviously for his sake, but Duan Xingzhen narrowed his eyes, and even gradually swelled with murderous intent on his body.

"Why are you on my side?"
