The reason why he paused in Black Dragon City for three days before the class master returned to the dynasty was because it was the day of the full moon, Xing Tianze didn't want to be on the way back to the capital, and the Gu poison in Tao Mingxi's body suddenly attacked, which made her feel painful.

For this reason, Xing Tianze also deliberately asked Wu Xian to give Tao Mingxi a pulse, but found that her heart was peaceful, and the Gu poison seemed to have entered a hibernation period, without the slightest sign of seizures.

Wuxian privately told Xing Tianze that once the Gu poison enters the human body, although it will not attack every day, it will definitely make the person who falls in the Gu want to die or live if it occurs at a fixed time.

Tao Mingxi's situation was too special, as if someone had imposed some method on her to temporarily suppress the activities of the Gu poison, and the only person who could know the method of controlling the Heart Devouring Gu was the one they had been looking for.

But when he was on the northern front, Tao Mingxi never had contact with anyone except for Kai Zhu'er.

Obviously, this person will not be Zhu'er, but he had been in contact with Tao Mingxi before leaving the capital, and it is very likely that he is still in the city.

So Xing Tianze came in and continuously sent more than a dozen waves of people to look for him, but so far he has found nothing.

"Don't think I don't know it's the two of you who stir up the storm in the capital behind your back." Tao Mingxi took a bite of the mutton in the bowl.

Xing Tianze and Wuxian Wensheng glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on both of their faces, even if they wanted to stir up the storm, someone had to cooperate with them.

The two of them were surprised that although the people in the emperor's hands did not have much ability to do serious things, they could still be called experts in assassination.

It can be seen from the ministers targeted by the emperor that he also saw Xing Tianze's weakness, and all of them were selected to be the top of the five princes.

However, Xing Tianze did not have so many spare manpower in his hands, and he could only protect a few crucial people, otherwise it would very likely lead to a void in the defense of the palace.

And when so many people are sent out, it is easy to show the horse's feet.

If they fall in the middle game, it can only show that they are unlucky, and they can't carry it to the end with Xing Tianze.

In the palace, the emperor was in the imperial study to review the recitals, when suddenly the candle flame on the table flickered.

The emperor immediately ordered the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids to go down first, and when he went out, he closed the door, and a man in black quickly rolled in from the window, but when he wanted to salute, he was stopped by the former.

"Don't do any extra actions, just tell me how the current situation is?" The emperor seemed a little impatient to ask.

"Your Majesty, Weichen sent four waves of people into the mansion of the fifth prince, but no one came out alive." The man in black knelt on one knee and recovered respectfully, but he lowered his head when he said it: "The other people sent to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion have no news, and there seems to be someone in the mansion of Lord Huang of the Ministry of War. ”

As the man in black said something, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy.

"Is it a bunch of waste? Can't even do this little thing? The Emperor's voice was extremely cold.

The people who can be on his must-kill list, the emperor has asked people to go to the bottom before sending someone to assassinate them, as long as they show any willingness to give up Xing Tianze's mind, there will be no assassination.

There are many officials who support Xing Tianze, and many of them have not low official positions, and it is impossible for the emperor to deal with everyone with open means, and the assassination is the most worry-free and effort-saving.

The body of the man in black trembled fiercely: "The emperor is not that the people under Weichen are ineffective, but the people of the five princes are too powerful, before I came to meet you, I sent ten masters into the palace, if Weichen has not received any news after two hours, it means that they are all dead." ”

There was a sudden crack, and the emperor slammed the teacup on the ground, and the guards outside the imperial study hurriedly pushed the door in, but only saw the emperor sitting on a chair alone, and the ground was full of fragments of teacups.

"Who let you in? Get out of here. The emperor scolded all the guards in a cold voice.

"The ministers obey." The guards really obeyed the emperor's words, and after lying on the ground and rolling out of the imperial study, they carefully closed the door.

The man in black jumped out of the gap between the beams and continued to kneel on one knee......

Xing Tianze put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, every time he eats hot pot at Tao Mingxi's place, it is the most relaxed time for him.

Traceless, who was drinking tea, suddenly moved his ears, and then there was a rush of footsteps from the roof.

Tao Mingxi had just stood up from the chair in confusion, and Xing Tianze waved her hand to signal her not to be too nervous.

Immediately, there was a sound of weapons colliding with each other, and after a rapid and loud sound sounded, Tao Mingxi clearly saw through the window that the eight figures fell from the roof, lying on the ground and not moving any more.

"Let's go out to watch a play with this king!" Xing Tianze threw the handkerchief on the table, and pushed the door out with Tao Mingxi.

As soon as she went out, she clearly saw six figures standing in the middle of her courtyard, they were dressed in black, and they all wore the same masks on their faces, so that people could not see their faces, and two of them were kneeling on the ground, and the daggers with cold light were facing their necks.

As for the others lying on the ground, they all became corpses, and Zhu'er let out a scream of fright, and the guards in the palace also entered her courtyard at this moment.

Xing Tianze draped his coat over Tao Mingxi's body, and walked up with Wuxi, and a masked man ripped the veils off the faces of the two black-clothed men.

"You don't have to guess who sent you, and I don't want your lives tonight, as long as you two bring a message back to this king, let the people who instructed you be smarter, and don't send some cats and dogs out to do things every time." Xing Tianze glanced at the two of them disdainfully.

The two men in black made the same movement, holding the dagger in their hands and swiping it on their necks, and blood gushed out from the wounds, staining the snow on the ground red.

"Dispose of the scene to this king, and throw the corpses of these assassins into the Valley of the Evil Wind to feed the wolves." Xing Tianze gave an order without blinking his eyes, turned around and put his arm around Tao Mingxi's shoulders and re-entered the room.

Traceless fumbled around the body of a man in black, and after finding a token from his waist, he asked the guards to deal with the scene.
