The stars of Beichen are faint, and the mountains and rivers are in trouble.

In the previous dynasty, the Xuan clan declined, and the general Fu Fei killed the lord and usurped power; Ningyuan Marquis Xie Jia raised troops to kill the rebel party, and fought with the traitor Fu Fei for three years, eliminating the rebel and defending the rivers and mountains. Because the royal family Xuan clan is extinct, and the wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan is the sister of the Empress Zhaozhen, the ministers support Xie Jia, the Marquis of Ningyuan, as the new monarch, dominate the rivers and mountains, and reign over the world.

In the past, the Yong'an army of the Gongwei Xuan clan surrendered to the new monarch, and the legendary Yong'an secret guard, who was only in the name of the Yong'an Commander, disappeared and was never seen again.

Twenty years later, the new monarch is firmly on the throne, and the story of Yong'an's secret guard has long since become a legend.

The bustling royal capital is very lively, and the dignitaries, nobles, princes, and generals are all dressed in brocade robes, and the chariots, horses, and servants accompany each other. More than 100 miles outside the city, there is a group of people and horses coming towards the city, and the person headed by is the prime minister of the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, the frightened arrows in the forest flew head-on, and although Xia Dan was vigilant and dodged the dark arrows, he saw a man descending from the sky and stabbing at him with a sword; The servants of the Xia Mansion were all guarding in all directions, and when Xia Dun noticed it, the tip of the sword had reached the top of his head, which was extremely dangerous.

It was only at this critical moment that the assassin's sword suddenly cracked and shattered into pieces of scrap metal.

On the top of the bamboo on the side of the road stood a beautiful woman in red, smiling and smiling, with tiny strings wrapped around her green jade fingers, the same thing that had just shattered the Assassin's sword.

The assassin and the servants of the Xia Mansion fought, and the woman in red chuckled and said to Xia Xuan, "If Xia Xiang is a smart person, he should know that he should not fall in love at this time, after all, all of you are not his opponents. ”

"Thank you for your advice." Chardon arched his hand at the woman in red, and galloped away with three or five minions, and by the time the Assassins had eliminated the remaining minions, Chardon had long since disappeared. The assassin wanted to chase after him, but found that his hands were entangled in the strings and he couldn't break free, and the woman in red stood behind him and smiled: "I don't know who your Excellency is, you have such a deep hatred for Xia Xiang." ”

He gritted his teeth: "Xia Dun is a traitor to seek glory, but he is really a shameless villain, and everyone in the world will be punished." You lackeys of Charton! ”

The woman in red chuckled: "Yong'an Secret Guard, Xuan Jinhuan." ”

"Yong'an Secret Guard?" He was shocked when he heard the woman in red report her identity, "I don't know when the Yong'an Secret Guard will also protect Xia Dun." If you really are the secret guard of Yong'an, you are only tarnishing the name of the secret guard of Yong'an. ”

"Your Excellency doesn't know, Jin Huan is just acting according to orders. The stepmother, the East Master, sent Jin Huan to sneak into the royal capital to find the whereabouts of the young master; If Your Excellency assassinates Xia Dun at this time, I am afraid that it will set off another bloody storm in the royal capital, which will be detrimental to our plans. If Jin Huan guessed correctly, Your Excellency should be the person of the West Master. Xuan Jinhuan looked at him and said lightly.

Helplessly guessed his identity, he looked back and nodded: "In Xia Yan Qi, the word Jingming, studied under the West Master Song Fu." ”

Xuan Jinhuan accepted the strings at this time: "It turned out to be Uncle Song's disciple, and he was disrespectful." ”

In the past, Yong'an Secret Guard was divided into four divisions, and they also assisted each other and worked together. But since the Lord was killed twenty years ago, the Xuan family was also replaced by the Xie family, and Yong'an ordered that there was no successor, so it was automatically sealed in the Yong'an underground palace; Yong'an secretly guarded the dragons without a master, and the four masters had differences due to different opinions, and finally went their separate ways, each doing their own thing, leaving only the east master and the south master Chu Ning to stay in Yong'an.

Xuan Jinhuan's stepmother, the head of the East Division, Yong'an Secret Guard only knows her surname Xuan, and she is a descendant of the Xuan family, and no one knows her true identity, let alone her true face.

Yan Qi remembered the reason why Xuan Jinhuan said that she came to the royal capital just now, and felt strange: "You said, the East Division Master sent you to the royal capital to look for the young master?" Who is the young master? "Yong'an Secret Guard Zun Xuan clan is the main one, but in the past ten years, I have never known that there is a young master.

"The Lord once gave birth to a princess who disappeared in a chaotic battle more than twenty years ago. Some time ago, the stepmother noticed that there was something wrong in the Yong'an underground palace, and went into the underground palace to visit, and found that the Yong'an order had the tendency to awaken; The stepmother guessed that the young master was still alive and had completed the contract with the Yong'an Order. The stepmother spied on the astrolabe, and the young master was in the royal capital; Therefore, the stepmother sent Jin Huan to the royal capital, found the young master to take her back to the Yong'an underground palace, opened the seal, and became the master of Yong'an. Xuan Jinhuan explained.

Because Yan Qi is also a secret guard of Yong'an, Xuan Jinhuan will tell him these things.

However, this news was too shocking, Yan Qi's expression stiffened for a long time, and then he said with difficulty: "This is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!" Your master only told you that the young master was in the royal capital, and nothing else was told to you? "If you can find someone like this, it would be a miracle if you can still find that person.

The rest of the things are unknown to the stepmother. But Jin Huan believes that the ancestor has a spirit in the sky and will definitely protect the young master's return. Xuan Jinhuan had an idea in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say more to Yan Qi, so he only said, "There is another reason to stop Senior Brother Yan from making a move on Xia Dan; Jin Huan secretly investigated in the royal capital, and the whereabouts of the young master may be related to Na Xia Dian. Xia Dan was originally a general of the Yong'an Army in the past, but he betrayed his master to seek glory and did shameless things, which is admittedly damned; But there are many people who want to kill him, so why dirty our hands. Among them, cause and effect, I don't know if Senior Brother Yan thinks it's right? ”

Yan Qi thought about it and nodded: "What Senior Sister Jin Huan said is reasonable. It's just that Xia Dun is now the emperor's confidant and is in a high position as prime minister; Even if there are countless people who want to kill him, there may not be anyone who really dares to do it. ”

Xuan Jinhuan chuckled confidently: "That was in the past, but not in the future. The heavens of the royal capital are about to change, and some people may not be able to occupy high positions. She seemed to be in a good mood, playing with the strings wrapped around her fingers, and many things were on her mind.

Just now she also dropped a string in Xia Dan's hand, but that was what she did deliberately.

Her piano name is "Yun Yan", and the strings are small and soft, which is very suitable for her; Xuan Jinhuan has been practicing piano music since he was a child, and it is precisely with this that he kills people invisibly, and the sound of the piano is even more fatal.

I believe that if Xia Duan investigates carefully, it will be easy to find out that the string is from Yunyanqin.

On the eve of her coming to the royal capital, Master Xuan specially told her to remember to pay attention to one person in the royal capital, and if you can, you should help him again. That person was Xie Lan, the second prince of the Son of Heaven, and his biological mother was Xuan, the wife of the Son of Heaven; Yuan Hou Xuan's is the princess of Yixing in the former dynasty, but it is a pity that she died in childbirth when she gave birth to the second princess Princess Yuanhua fifteen years ago, leaving only a pair of young children, which is very pitiful.

Regarding the death of this queen, there were many rumors at that time, which was nothing more than crossing the river and demolishing the bridge; A very important part of the reason why he was able to ascend the throne as the emperor so smoothly was because his wife was the princess of the Xuan family, but not long after the dust settled, Empress Xuan passed away, and I am afraid that only the emperor knows how many cats are greasy.

The second prince Xie Lan has been given marriage, and the quasi-princess is Xia Xin, the daughter of Xia Dan.
