A game within a game

The late autumn night wind blows through the treetops, and the sound of the leaves is particularly bleak. The Jingyang Palaces were still silent, and there wasn't even a single patrolling palace soldier in the palace tonight. Only the bureau set up by Shangguan Jing for the murderer remained.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, poor Yunrong still has to squat with a fan! And Shangguan Jing only needed to lie on the bed and sleep and wait for the murderer to come to her. Whining...... Yun Rong was bitter in his heart, but Yun Rong didn't say it.

In fact, the reason why Shangguan Jing can sleep with peace of mind depends on the big Buddha Murong Shuo.

Murong Shuo was not idle, he took a cadre of government soldiers to ambush around Shangguan Jing's room.

Although it is said that the murderer is in the dark, Murong Shuo is even darker than him.

Seeing that the moon was gradually sinking in the west, the murderer had not yet come, Yun Rong really couldn't hold it anymore, and his eyelids had already begun to fight.

His head was like a chicken catching rice, and with a dull sound, he clutched his forehead that had hit the pillar and fell asleep.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he lost all his sleepiness.

He followed the black shadow with a fan, only to see that the black shadow really turned into Shangguan Jing's room. Yun Rong stood in the corridor and stretched out his folding fan, and Murong Shuo, who was in the hidden place, also nodded at Yun Rong when he received the signal, and the others moved towards the nest.

The black shadow tiptoed into Shangguan Jing's room and walked towards the couch, the knife in his hand slowly unsheathed.

Shangguan Jing is also very shrewd, she slept with her back to the murderer to confuse the murderer's sight, in fact, she has been tightly covering the quilt and opening her eyes.

The half-unsheathed blade inadvertently corresponded with the moonlight shining through the window, and the reflective blade swept past Shangguan Jing's eyes.

Shangguan Jing suddenly jumped up and directly covered the quilt on the black shadow's body, she hooked up the long sword hidden in the quilt and stood on the bed and gave the black shadow a fierce kick.

The shadow was kicked to the ground, overpowering the table, and the teapot and cup shattered to the ground.

Yun Rong rushed in when he heard the sound, and ran into the murderer who had just overturned the quilt.

He threw his fan at him, and the murderer suddenly drew his knife and went straight at him, and the thief was too fast to dodge.

At this time, a scabbard flew towards Yun Rong and smashed directly on the murderer's blade, Yun Rong took the opportunity to dodge and stood in the same position as Shangguan Jing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the murderer rushed out of the room directly.

But at this time, the courtyard was already surrounded by government soldiers.

The murderer was surrounded by groups, but he did not show any panic and wrong intentions.

The soldiers waved their weapons and slashed at him, only to see him raise his hand and wave a handful of white powder falling down one after another, blurring everyone's vision.

Murong Shuo felt bad, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and withdrew.

Shangguan Jing and Yun Rong also felt that something was wrong, because this fragrance was too familiar to themโ€”this powder was clearly the hallucinogenic incense in Lord Wang's room.

Shangguan Jing and Yun Rong covered their mouths and noses, and when the powder was almost dispersed, they found that all the soldiers had fallen to the ground, where was there any shadow of the murderer!

"What about Murong Shuo?" Shangguan Jing asked.

"Over there!" Yun Rong pointed in one direction and said. "I just vaguely saw His Royal Highness the Prince running over there." Shangguan Jing covered his mouth and nose and chased in Murong Shuo's direction.

The murderer wore a night suit to hide in the dark, but Murong Shuo was not a vegetarian, although he escaped quickly, Murong Shuo was not afraid at all, he kept chasing after him, and did not give the murderer a chance to get rid of him.

Suddenly, the murderer stopped, turned around, and pulled out his knife and slashed at Murong Shuo, Murong Shuo turned the jade flute into a weapon, and his eyes were quick, and he directly faced the jade flute, blocking his knife.

The murderer was shocked by Murong Shuo's internal force, and he swung his knife again, and at this time, Shangguan Jing, who had caught up, suddenly jumped and pulled out his long sword, and with one sword, it broke through the air and blocked Murong Shuo.

It's a battle of swords and swords......

Although Shangguan Jing is a woman, she has internal strength to support her, and she resisted the murderer's knife and forced him backwards.

The murderer finally resisted Shangguan Jing's pushing.

The two looked at each other, and the swords slashed through and sent out a burst of sparks.

Suddenly, Shangguan Jing stared at his tiger's mouth, where there was a deep scar.

This is another crucial clue.

The murderer picked up Shangguan Jing's long sword, and Ling Xuan kicked at her, obviously to avenge the kick just now. Can't allow Shangguan Jing to think too much, she put her long sword against her chest to block the kick, but his strength was so great that even Shangguan Jing couldn't parry, although he blocked it, he took a lot of steps back.

Murong Shuo had been observing the murderer's moves, and he dared to conclude that the murderer definitely didn't want to provoke any unnecessary right and wrong, so he didn't make a killing move. Not only that, Murong Shuo was sure that the murderer would definitely use incense.

Just thinking about it, before her thoughts could take shape in her mind, the murderer raised another handful of incense, Shangguan Jing didn't have time to take precautions, she thought that she was just like that, but she didn't expect Murong Shuo to be on guard all the time.

Almost at the same time, as soon as the murderer let out a misty incense, Murong Shuo pounced in front of Shangguan Jing, clasped her head on his chest, and covered his mouth and nose with his back to the murderer. In fact, this posture is very dangerous, if the murderer is not dead, then he can't prevent it from stabbing at all.

Shangguan Jing was pressed on his head by Murong Shuo like this, and the whole person was stunned, the posture of the two big men was ...... Don't think it's weird.

The powder finally dissipated, and Shangguan Jing pushed Murong Shuo away and ran forward a few steps before throwing his long sword to the ground in anger.

The murderer who was finally caught actually let him run away!

Shangguan Jing turned his head and walked back to Murong Shuo's side, and said angrily, "What do you care about me!" It was not easy to lure the murderer out! โ€

Shangguan Jing shouted at Murong Shuo's face. In fact, she didn't blame Murong Shuo, but blamed herself for being useless.

"You're more important."

After Shangguan Jing finished shouting, Murong Shuo spoke calmly. Now it was Shangguan Jing's turn to be stunned.

What makes her more important?

Why does this sound so awkward?

Shangguan Jing looked around resentfully, turned around angrily, and picked up the sword he had just thrown out.

She pouted and looked at Murong Shuo, his face was particularly dazzling even in the dark night.

No way! You can't stare at his face of disaster and misfortune anymore!

Shangguan Jing put the sword back into its sheath, wiped Murong Shuo's sleeve and left with a belly full of anger.

The next day, King Jingyang dismissed everyone, and the palace finally showed the sun in a haze.

"Ah Jing, this is for you." King Jingyang handed a red book to Shangguan Jing.

"What is this?"

King Jingyang didn't speak, just watched Shangguan Jing open the recital, and then admired her joyful appearance after reading it.

"Grain book! It's a grain book approved by the emperor! Three hundred loads of grain and grass! Shangguan Jing was as happy as a child, she closed the food book and took a sip of it.

"Thank you, Uncle Murong!"

King Jingyang smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you kid wanted grain and grass, if Shuo'er hadn't told me, how would you have spoken?" โ€

Murong Shuo?

Shangguan Jing put away his smile and said, "Uncle Murong, you thank him for me." โ€

King Jingyang nodded and patted Shangguan Jing's shoulder.

In the imperial city, in the Linfu Palace, a stream of sandalwood came to the nose.

In the private room sat a graceful and luxurious woman.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Commander Zhao is back."

"How?"

"Don't worry, Commander Zhao has always been steady, and all the things you have explained have been done."

"Very well, after getting rid of these little shrimps...... The next step is to catch the big fish. โ€
