The night was as dark as ink.

"Three watches, safe and sound!" Then, the husband struck the gong, "Knock! - Knock! Boom! ”

What the husband didn't see was that two blocks away from him, a man in a nightwalking suit was galloping on the roof. The man in black was light and fast, and he didn't make any sound between his movements.

On moonless nights, nightwear is the best disguise. The man in black was agile and evaded two groups of guards patrolling the streets in succession. Finally, it stopped outside the high courtyard wall of the National Teacher's Mansion.

The national teacher Chaoyue was deeply loved by Emperor Cheng, and at the end of last month, the national teacher was assassinated in the palace. Afterwards, Emperor Cheng sent Yulin Wei to guard the national division's mansion.

With his ghostly figure and familiarity with the terrain of the National Teacher's Mansion, the man in black successfully evaded the guards in the mansion and quietly entered the courtyard to the west.

There was no light or fire in the yard, and it was very quiet.

The man in black hid in the dark and watched for a while, making sure that there was no one around, and then he rushed to the room in the southwest corner and carefully pushed the door open.

Open the sheepskin pot behind you and sprinkle the oil on the neat stacks of firewood.

Under the reflection of the starlight, the traces extended from the firewood accumulation to the outside of the house, and the person who came threw the sheepskin pot back into the firewood room, and then quietly left.

The man in black came out of the firewood room, but he did not leave the National Teacher's Mansion immediately. Instead, he carefully dodged the guards patrolling the palace and the Yulin guards, and came all the way to a courtyard without any guards.

The man in black crept into the room, which was fully furnished but empty.

The man in black stood in the middle of the room, looked closely, and then walked to the pillar at the end of the bed where the blue and white porcelain vase was placed. She stretched out her hands and gently turned the blue and white porcelain vase, and the secret door on the wall slowly opened.

The man in black did not hesitate and quickly dodged in.

At the end of the passage, there was a flickering fire.

The man in black drew his short sword at his waist, slung it across his chest, and walked towards the end of the firelight-flickering passageway.

When he descended the steps, he was discovered by the guards.

"What......"

Before the guard could finish speaking, he was slashed to the ground by a man in black with a knife.

Another guard saw that the situation was not good and wanted to send a distress signal, but the speed of the arrival was too fast, and he was also cut to the ground.

By the light of the torches, the prisoners in the prison could see the eyes of the incoming people, and the color of the right pupil was no different from that of ordinary people; The one on the left is really special, although the eyes are cold, but people really can't ignore the color of its pupils that is different from ordinary people - the light, clear blue, as if the stars and the sea are contained in it, even the most exquisite sapphire in the world, compared with it, it is also much inferior.

However, these eyes frightened everyone a lot.

These people have been locked up here for too long, otherwise, they should have known the first time they saw her eyes. Standing in front of them is the crown princess's side concubine, who is now the princess's sibling sister, and was only found by the Chengguo Mansion on August 20 last year, and renamed Mu Ruoyun's eldest lady - Liyan.

The entanglement between the crown prince Fuxuan and the two young ladies of the Chengguo Mansion is even today, and people will gossip a few words from time to time.

On the tenth day of the eighth month of last year, the prince suddenly fell ill, and the national teacher calculated that the prince needed to marry a woman who was born with different pupils as his wife, so as to survive this catastrophe.

Then, on August 20, the Chengguo Mansion was found, and it is said that the eldest lady who was kidnapped by gangsters in the early years. And she was the woman who was born with different pupils.

At that time, the prince had already made a marriage with Mu Ruoyu, the lady of the Chengguo Mansion.

The wedding date was advanced, and Miss Mu married into the prince's mansion on the tenth day of September and became the prince's concubine.

And on that day, it was less than a month before Yan was found back to the Chengguo Mansion.

Mu Ruoyu is both a beauty and a talented woman, at that time, many people in Beijing felt sorry for Mu Ruoyu. Some people are pity, and naturally some people are proud, and the princes of various mansions are gearing up, waiting for the prince's wedding, and then proposing marriage in the Chengguo Mansion.

It's a pity that after the crown princess got married, the Chengguo Mansion was not in a hurry to marry Mu Ruoyu.

Half a month later, the prince's body really began to recover, and a month later, the prince fully recovered.

Just when people thought that Miss Mu's position as the crown princess was stable, the princes and grandsons were also ready to propose to the Chengguo Mansion.

However, in less than half a month, there was an unfortunate news that the crown princess was inappropriate and demoted to a side concubine. In this way, the position of the crown princess was vacant again.

On the tenth day of the first month of November, His Majesty gave marriage to the crown prince, and the marriage object was Mu Ruoyu - the second lady of the Chengguo Mansion. And this day was supposed to be the day of her wedding to the crown prince.

On the tenth day of February in the twentieth year of Taiyuan and this year, the prince and Mu Ruoyu got married in the East Palace. Ten miles of red makeup, the whole world celebrates. When he first married into the prince's mansion, there were only thirty-six dowries.

It's been exactly one month since today.

After opening the door of the cell, Liyan's footsteps did not stop.

"There's a madman in there, don't go there."

"It's scary for a madman to drink human blood."

"He'll kill you."

"yes."

......

Although, they are indeed afraid of her eyes, but after all, she saved them, and there are still people who read her good.

After a pause, he said, "Let's go." ”

Liyan's stature was extremely high, and she deliberately lowered her voice, so no one found out that she was a woman.

Immediately, without looking back, she walked towards the closed iron door.

The hope of survival is in front of her, someone has already walked towards the exit, and the rest of the people see that the persuasion is fruitless, so they don't care about her anymore.

Listening to the noisy footsteps behind him, Liyan's hand holding the key in front of the iron door trembled slightly.

If there is no turning back from the bow, she will not be able to turn back for a long time. She closed her eyes and silently recited a few words of the mantra in her mind. Then, without hesitation, she opened the heavy iron door.

When the iron door opened, the wail was clear to her ears.

After seeing the face of the person chained in chains, Liyan's pupils shrank. Although the person in front of him was ragged and his face was as white as paper, Li Yan still recognized him at a glance - Emperor Fu Yi, the prince of King Liang.

Huang Fuyi entered Beijing for the prince's wedding, but he did not catch up with the prince's first wedding, and he arrived in the capital after nearly half a month of marrying the prince. At that time, the prince's health had improved, so he did not attend his reception banquet, and Liyan was unable to attend.

The wife of the prince of the Yongping Marquis Mansion is the eldest empress of the Liang Dynasty, Fu Shan. Shao Mingye, the wife of Chu Tiankuo, the third master of the Hou Mansion, is the second senior sister of Liyan, and this matter is little known. On that day, the wife of the prince had a banquet, and it happened that Shao Mingye and his wife were also in the capital, so they begged the queen to go to the Yongping Marquis Mansion. It was at that time that she met Huang Fuyi.

Li Yan frowned and looked at Huang Fuyi, three days ago, she had seen him on the street, and his face was ruddy at that time, which was definitely not what he is now. Moreover, the disappearance of the prince of Liang is a major event, but there is no news from Beijing. Looking at the scabbed scars, chapped lips, dry hair, and tattered clothes of the person in front of him, this could not be caused in three days. In this way, there is only one explanation, and the one on the outside is fake.

Liyan ridiculed: "The national teacher is really a good skill, and the dignified prince of Liang Wang is also a prisoner." ”

I don't know which of the words touched him, and he suddenly struggled hard, as if trying to break free from the chain. The eyes are fierce, and there is a faint flash of red light in the eyes, revealing ominousness everywhere.

Liyan was not afraid, and he never took half a step back. She just quietly looked at Liang Wang Shizi, who was desperately trying to break free from the chains, and squinted her eyes slightly. King Liang has two daughters and one son, and Huang Fuyi is his only son. If he knew that his only son was treated like this by Chaoyue, he would definitely not give up. I think Chaoyue also knows this, so he will take a holiday outside.

"If you go out like this, you won't live long. The leaves fall back to the roots. Head south and go home. Remember, even if you die, you must not die in the capital. Otherwise, you'll be left with no bones. ”

Hearing this, King Liang was really quiet for a while.

Li Yan took advantage of this moment to open the chains that trapped him.

The moment the iron chain was opened, the unkempt Liang Wang Shizi rushed out of the iron door. Liyan followed and went out together.

The prisoners had already been discovered and handed over by the patrolling guards and Yu Lin Guards.

The sound of shouting and killing, wailing, and the sound of swords clashing one after another.

Looking at the guards on the ground, the corpses of the prisoners, and the prince of Liang who roared and rushed into the crowd, Li Yan silently recited a few words of death mantra in his heart.

Immediately, she jumped onto the roof and headed northwest. That was where the library of the National Teacher's Mansion was located, and what she was looking for was there.

When passing by the firewood room, she took out the fire fold in her arms and threw it on the fire oil outside the door impartially.

The fire soon burned, and all of this had nothing to do with the words. In her eyes, there was only the four-storey delicate building standing in the northwest direction.

The people in the National Teacher's Mansion were all surrounding and suppressing the prisoners, and no one had noticed the fire in the firewood room.

At first, the well-trained Yulin Guards and Guards had the upper hand, but after Huang Fuyi joined the fray. The situation was reversed all of a sudden, Huang Fuyi was not only extremely fast and powerful, he was not afraid of pain, he already had several wounds on his body, the wound on his left forearm was the deepest, and he had already seen the white bones of Sensen. However, he didn't feel it at all, he just blindly walked south, and those who stood in his way didn't end well. Whether it's a prisoner or a guard.

When the prisoners saw him like this, they became more and more courageous, and as long as they left this place, they were free.

Huang Fu Yi was tireless and painless, and waved the spear in his hand so vigorously that the guards did not dare to approach at all. Soon, a way of escape was opened for everyone.

At this time, the fire in the firewood room also burned brightly. The people in the house also woke up.

In the midst of a shout, he jumped up, and landed on the roof of the library building lightly.

The building is full of mechanisms, and if she rushes in, she will definitely touch the mechanisms, and not only will she not be able to get what she wants, but she will also have to be trapped inside.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what her master had said to her.

"There is no endless road, no matter how delicate the mechanism is, there will be a glimmer of life. Ah Yan, no matter what happens, don't give up hope. ”

Liyan closed his eyes and muttered, "Master, I may have to live up to your expectations." ”

Liyan hung upside down on the roof of the building, opened the window on the fourth floor with a short sword, grabbed the window sash with her left hand, and climbed into the inner building with force and lightness.

She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the drawings the man had shown her. With the route in her memory, she carefully avoided the silk crisscrossing the building and walked to the staircase step by step.

She looked down from the stairs. It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. This is right with what she thought, Chaoyue covered the third floor, and sure enough, it was for that thing. There is no moon tonight, and it is a good time.

Li Yan took a deep breath and walked into the dark third floor.

The third floor is not like the fourth floor, and there are many books.

On the third floor, just in the middle of the building, there is a three-foot-high pillar with a box on it.

Liyan took out a night pearl the size of a child's fist from her sleeve, although it couldn't light up the entire room, but it was enough to illuminate the road in front of her.

There aren't actually many mechanisms on the third floor, and the most important one is on the pillar, as soon as the box is taken away, Chaoyue will know what happened.

It wasn't like no one had come to him to steal the treasure before. They all passed the first few levels, and they were planted on this last level.

Liyan didn't care, she reached out and took out the box, hurriedly glanced at the contents of the box, and after making sure that it was what she was looking for, she immediately withdrew out.

At this time, the national teacher, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eagle-like eyes.

When he came out of the secret room, he found that there was not a single guard outside the house.

Instead, there was a shout of killing from the east and west, and he moved his nose to smell the smell of blood coming from the air.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped in and went to the library.

As soon as he came out, he saw the national teacher coming from the roof not far away.

She sneered, and instead of retreating, she stepped forward with a short sword. Under the starlight, the sword body flashed with a faint green light. It's poisoned on the top.

"Hand over the things, and this seat will spare you from death."

Liyan didn't talk nonsense with him, but rushed straight towards him.

"I can't help myself."

Liyan kept her head down, and it wasn't until she was about to rush in front of him that she raised her head and let Chaoyue see her eyes clearly.

After seeing her eyes, Chaoyue was stunned for a moment.

Only his stunned kung fu, Liyan quickly took out his sword, stabbed him in the chest, the move was sharp and ruthless, and Chaoyue quickly retreated, wanting to retreat from her attack range.

However, he refused to give up and pursued closely.

In order to protect himself, Chaoyue gathered his left hand and patted it away. His left hand is peculiar, with his ring finger and middle finger at the same length.

Chao Yue's palm didn't use all his strength, only five points of strength, he actually just wanted to force Liyan back. However, she didn't dodge or dodge, she resisted Chaoyue's palm, and finally slashed Chaoyue's left arm with her sword.

After succeeding, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

Chaoyue raised his qi to chase, but the poison on the sword was too domineering, so he had to click on a few large acupoints around his body first to prevent the spread of the toxin.

Only for a while, Liyan had already flown away from the National Teacher's Mansion.

After leaving, the guards of the National Teacher's Mansion also came.

"You go to the Prince's Mansion immediately and bring Concubine Mu back. Remember, you have to live. ”

"Yes."

The Prince's Mansion was the residence of the Prince who had not entered the East Palace, and it was not the Prince's Mansion at that time, but only the Chenwang Mansion. Seven days ago, there was a suspicion of ghosts in the East Palace, and the queen's protector was anxious and ordered the national teacher to enter the palace to exorcise evil spirits. So, the crown prince and the princess and other female dependents moved back to the former Chenwang Mansion, and now the Prince's Mansion.

To this day, the two apprentices of the national teacher are still practicing exorcism in the East Palace.
