Late at night.

The wind and rain stopped.

In one of the liveliest green buildings in Kyoto, the sound of warblers and swallows is continuous, and the clever laughter is endless.

The newly appointed Sima Wang Yuan of the Ministry of War and Zhao Kuo, the 'waiter' of the Ministry of Officials, sat in the most luxurious private room, enjoying the soft 'jade' warm fragrance of the beauty in their arms, and only felt that the most beautiful moment in the world was nothing more than that.

"Lord Wang, from now on, the two of us will be grasshoppers on the same line, since we both rely on the queen's mother, then I will ask you to take care of it in the future." Zhao Kuo raised his glass and saluted Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan drank with him, but in fact, he was a little uneasy. Over the years, his career has not been smooth, he has been excluded by his colleagues, bullied by his superiors, and disobeyed by his subordinates. If he hadn't been cornered, he wouldn't have defected to the Miao Jiang faction, after all, he didn't want to bear the name of a traitor. But there is no way, the situation is forced, his greed for military salaries has been mastered by the Miao Jiang people, if he is not attached to the Miao Jiang people, then what awaits him is the end of being imprisoned and beheaded, he knows that none of those colleagues around him will stand up and speak for him.

That's it, people die for money, birds die for food, it's useless for him to think so much. It's better to have wine today and get drunk today.

Zhao Kuo looked at Wang Yuan's face and was already a little drunk, and he was satisfied.

He and Wang Yuan's situation is different.

Wang Yuan had no choice but to get on the thief ship of the Miao Jiang people, but he, Zhao Kuo, was a Miao Jiang man at all. More than ten years ago, Miao Jiang Shengzun sent him to Daxia, arranged for him to participate in the imperial examination, and entered the court as an official. He Miao Jiang people have finally broken their forces into the Great Xia Dynasty, and I believe that it will not be long before this Great Xia Dynasty will change hands!

The more they drank, the more drunk they became, they were both complacent, and the 'spring' wind was proud.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out.

Zhao Kuo asked drunkenly, "What, what's going on?" ”

"Uncle, it may be that the wind is strong and the candle flame is blown out, so the slave family will go and light it anew." The 'woman' in his arms stood up delicately, 'touched' the fire fold from his arms, and re-lit the candle.

The interior is bright again.

The 'female' man smiled and came back to her senses, and frowned involuntarily, how could there be a smell of blood?

In the next moment, her shrill exclamation rang out: "Ahhh

The little maid and the maid guarding outside the 'door' were startled and pushed the 'door' in, but everyone saw that on the wine table, Wang Yuan and Zhao Kuo had already fallen on the table, and there was an inch-long bloody mouth in their throats. Blood was snaking down, and the two men seemed to be dead.

On the official road to the southwest barracks.

A general-like man was dressed in silver armor and rode on a tall horse, his face full of triumphant looks.

He has been suppressed for so many years, is he finally going to regain the handsome seal?

Ten years ago, he fought with Miao Jiang, defeated and returned, so that 50,000 troops were captured by Miao Jun, after returning to the dynasty, the first emperor was going to behead him, but in his grandfather's life meritorious deeds, and willing to use his life's merits to protect his life' life, so the emperor just beat him fifty boards, and dismissed and never hired. At that time, he thought that his life was over, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around, because of the relationship between the Miao Jiang people, he was actually reactivated, and suddenly jumped to the position of the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Army.

Hahaha, just thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to laugh three times.

The soldiers who accompanied him saw that his upper peak was so proud of the 'spring' wind, and they all followed the flattery, and the special 'door' picked what he liked to hear, and then he was even more happy. Along the way, even the demeanor of riding a horse was so radiant.

Suddenly, a desolate and violent north wind rose!

Count the shadows that scurry into their ranks like lightning.

The general in the silver armor had a premonition that something was wrong, and just as he was about to draw his sword, the movement of his hand froze.

A silver glow swept across his neck, and the cold sensation of cutting through the flesh and skin reached his brain.

At the same moment, all the accompanying 'squires' also fell off their horses.

Puff puff puff –

The wind rose, and dazzling smoke and dust rose on the official road.

All the black-clad assassins were in the smoke and dust, and no news was heard.

Three days later.

Xiao Ye, who was hiding in Fengqi Palace, received this news, and his anger was like thunder.

"Damn, who is this killer? The three officials carefully arranged by the deity were about to take office, but they were all assassinated in just a few days, damn it! Damn it! Xiao Ye's roar was endless.

Bi Shui Qin said in her heart, fortunately, the minions up and down in Fengqi Palace have let her change her clothes, and now the palace 'female' eunuchs are all her henchmen, otherwise if Xiao Ye's voice spreads, she may have to invite many disasters.

She was secretly rejoicing, when suddenly a heartwarming foot was on her 'chest'.

Poof-

Bi Shuiqin fell, and a mouthful of blood spat out. Her gaze suddenly froze, and a cold murderous intent ignited in her eyes, but soon, it was all gone.

She knelt down towards Xiao Ye in fear: "Holy Venerable is angry, Holy Venerable is angry." ”

Xiao Ye snorted coldly: "Bi Shuiqin, what are you doing to eat?" What the deity taught you, are you derelict in your duties like this? See what you've done now? It's all smashed, and the human hands that the deity has been 'inserted' for many years have all died, are you a pig? Pigs are not as stupid as you, and your life is simply superfluous! ”

Bi Shuiqin clenched his teeth, and the anger in his heart was monstrous, but there was still no show on his face. If it weren't for Xiao Ye's eagerness for quick success and quick profit, he 'forced' her to arrange people for important positions in the imperial court, and the people in the Great Xia Imperial Court would not have jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed those people directly.

"If your subordinates make mistakes, please punish them." Bi Shuiqin knew that in front of this devil, it was useless to justify. Unless she could kill him with a single blow, she would never think he would do her justice.

Smack-

Xiao Ye slapped her in the face fiercely: "Waste, if you weren't still a little useful now, the deity would have killed you now." ”

A wisp of blood flowed from the corner of Bi Shuiqin's lips, but she still knelt on the ground in fear, not taking her injury to heart at all.

"Holy Venerable Mingjian, this time the matter is actually the Queen Mother's obstacle, the original people in those three positions are all from the Nalan family, our arrangement hurts the interests of the Nalan family, and the Queen Mother will naturally take action. But her subordinates really didn't expect that she would be so ruthless, and she didn't leave any way back, and directly killed all of our people. She explained in a low voice.

After listening to this, Xiao Ye snorted coldly: "Queen Mother?" The deity has been at ease for too long, and she has forgotten how many catties and taels her life has! With that, he clenched his fists and made a gurgling sound.

Bi Shuiqin lowered his head, and where he couldn't see, he 'revealed' a 'yin' poisonous smile.

Midnight.

Fengluan Palace.

The guards stood at the entrance of the palace 'gate' wearing heavy cotton clothes and armor.

In the winter night sky, the stars are lonely.

The 'women' of the eunuch palace who occasionally passed by couldn't help but speed up their pace because they were afraid of the cold.

Suddenly, a black figure swept by like a gust of wind, so fast that the guards didn't even have time to notice it. I just thought that a 'yin' wind had just blown in front of them.

The two guards involuntarily shrunk their necks, what a special evil 'door'.

Xiao Ye, who was dressed in night clothes, quickly found a place to live in Fengluan Palace.

He briskly swept across the roof of the main hall, looking for the Queen Mother's location.

The old 'woman' had ruined such a big thing about him, and he wouldn't have allowed her to survive tonight.

Suddenly, he heard the voice of a palace maid speaking in the hall under his feet.

"Queen Mother, this cold plum fragrance was just sent by Ye Ting, saying that it will cure your headache. Would I like to give you something now? The palace 'girl' asked softly.

"Click on it, I hope this thing works. Hey, this headache for the mourning family, I don't know when it will be completely healed. ”

Xiao Ye on the roof smiled coldly.

It seems that there is no doubt that the queen mother must be in this house.

He dodged and disappeared into the night on the rooftops.

Inside the hall, two palm-sized black 'colored' spiders crawled silently along the corner of the wall, and their speed was extremely fast.

The two palace maidens who were guarding the outside of the house were standing quietly, unaware that the poisonous spider had crawled into their skirts.

Suddenly, the faces of these two palace 'women' were blue, and their throats seemed to be stuck by something, and they couldn't make a sound, but after half a breath, they had already fallen to the ground and died.

The two spiders continued to crawl and crawl towards the house.

The man in black stood in the dark at night, waiting quietly.

After a few more moments, he heard two pops coming from inside.

It was like the sound of a person suddenly fainting and falling to the ground.

He smiled with satisfaction.

Just died, it's really cheap that queen mother. The great thing that ruined him was simply that it would be difficult to atone for his sins.

But now that the situation is tense, he can only take care of the overall situation and kill her neatly. Presumably, after the death of the Empress Dowager, the power structure of the Great Xia Dynasty will change again, right?

After a few more breaths, the two spiders triumphantly crawled back and returned to his feet, as if silently telling him: "Master, master, we have completed our task!" ”

Xiao Ye stroked their bodies with satisfaction, and as soon as he raised his hand, two spiders climbed up his palms and burrowed into his sleeves.

The matter has been done, but he still has to confirm it himself.

There is not a single living person here except him.

So he walked into the queen mother's bedroom without any scruples.

The dormitory was quiet, no one was angry at all, and there was dead silence.

Xiao Ye's smile deepened, he liked such a dead silence.

One step, two steps, three steps......

His body walked inward step by step.

Suddenly, the 'door' of the temple behind him suddenly closed, and there was a violent noise.

Xiao Ye was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see two black-clothed secret guards appear behind the 'door'.

His eyes suddenly cold, and with a wave of his right hand, several silver needles spilled out, quenching poison and being extremely ruthless.

The black-clad guards rolled over to avoid it.

Xiao Ye smiled triumphantly, and flew out of the 'door'.

But in the next moment, his body fell to the ground violently!

A hair-thin silver wire was wrapped around his right ankle, and as he tried to escape, it suddenly tugged and restrained his entire 'leg'.
