Chapter 17 Cockroaches catch cicadas, and yellow finches follow
Murong Ke left before dawn the next day.
They lingered all night, Shi Zhongyu was so tired that he fell asleep, unwilling and unwilling to see Murong Ke's distant back. After that, she had nightmares, and every time she was washed away in the monstrous flood, she could clearly see Murong Ke, but she could never get close, let alone catch it.
A human premonition is a terrible feeling, you are obviously very disturbed, but you don't know what the problem is, like knowing that you are going to be devoured by a beast, but you can only stay in the dark, waiting for disaster to come. However, it was calm for several days, and Shi Zhongyu secretly laughed at himself for being a soldier and worrying about the sky.
As the prince, Murong Ke could not arrange masters in the emperor's inner palace, but he also left Zhao Lu and Zhu Li. On the other hand, the emperor naturally wants to beware of bad things for the queen, so the masters inside and outside the Yingchun Palace are around, and she stays in her courtyard very obediently, even if she is lonely and boring, she will not take half a step, the so-called danger is actually just her own imagination, yes...... Right?
On the other hand, because Murong Ke was in a hurry to return to the Northern Yuan Capital, and because he wanted to hide from others, he did not go to Xihai to find the crucial box in person, but sent his number one henchman Sun Fuheng to do it secretly.
In order to get rid of the bright and dark watchers from all walks of life, Steward Sun did not travel with His Royal Highness King Yu as usual, but obediently stayed in the palace, guarding the rear. It took almost three or four days before he went out in the name of inspecting the industry, got out halfway, and secretly went to Xihai.
In order to facilitate the search, Shi Zhongyu racked his brains to recall the details, and the treasure map was drawn in as much detail as possible, but Sun Fuheng was still wandering around the neighborhood all day, and only at night did he determine a few points and dig late at night.
In ancient times, there were no street lights, and when the stars and moon were dark, it was pitch black. But this kind of weather and lighting conditions are exactly what Sun Fuheng likes. He is a person who practices martial arts, and his night vision ability is already higher than that of ordinary people, and he is preoccupied at this time, although he can't see it very really, but it is enough. The point is that when you act like this, you can't attract the attention of others.
He had identified four positions before, and as with the usual rules, no matter how he chose, the thing was definitely the last. When the box was buried, Shi Zhongyu was at the threshold of escaping, and he didn't know the importance of this box, so he didn't bury it too deeply. In addition, this seaside forest is inaccessible, and the thing that concerns the court situation actually stays in the dirt under the trees. No one noticed or thought that the important thing that set off the monstrous * and almost turned the whole world upside down, had been lying at his feet, coldly and quietly watching the people coming and going, and the treacherous storms.
"Found it." When he took out the box, Sun Fuheng couldn't help but be happy. In fact, he didn't know what the box was for, but His Highness's solemn instructions must be very important, so when he completed the task, he was naturally very happy.
He cautiously observed the surroundings to make sure that no one was following, and then he went out of the woods, planning to go back to Taifu overnight. It was a strange mission, probably the most important of all he had ever had, and it always made him feel a little scared.
He ran as fast as he could, and when he reached his secret place of residence, he changed to a fast horse. The official road from Xihai to Taifu Capital is unimpeded, as long as he returns to Yuwang Mansion in Taifu Capital, it will be safe. After all, no one has dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, unless the emperor intervenes.
Thinking so in his heart, Sun Fuheng rushed forward with all his thoughts, but when he was about to see the gate of the Taifu Capital, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he realized what was happening, he stepped off the horse and screamed, and fell down with a bang, throwing him far away.
After all, he is a master of martial arts, and Sun Fuheng's body rises in the air. At this time when he didn't even have time to blink, he was shocked, knowing that he was plotted. The most terrifying thing is that this kind of technique and handwriting is not made by ordinary people. At the same time, it also means that his actions have been discovered.
Cockroaches catch cicadas, and yellow finches follow. He was very careful, but he was still targeted.
What went wrong?
However, he was not allowed to think about it, or even allowed him to land, his body was still in mid-air, and several sharp palm winds mixed with several dazzling cold lights all greeted his body, causing death, obviously killing people.
He lost the opportunity, and the person was in the air again, unable to dodge, although he avoided the vital point, he was still hit by a palm, and a hidden weapon was also nailed into his waist. Two injuries caused him to fall directly to the ground. If it weren't for the fast rolling, the sword that pierced straight into the ground would have pierced him through the heart.
"Someone" he bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake.
"It is worthy of being the confidant and favorite general of His Royal Highness King Yu, our family has been waiting for you here for a long time, and when your physical strength is exhausted and your internal strength is exhausted, you made a heavy sneak attack, and also used a hidden arrow, which actually allowed you to escape the death pass." Under the dim moonlight, a thin and withered figure slowly paced out, as if it was a demon harvesting people's lives, "But Sun Fuheng, you can't see the sun tomorrow morning after all, and you will die quickly and suffer less torture." On the contrary, you don't want to die, and our family has to give you some hardship. ”
Sun Fuheng narrowed his eyes, trying to see the face of the visitor clearly.
That person had no fear, and actually got closer, which made Sun Fuheng exclaim, "Tan Fu"
"It's our house." Tan Fu sighed, full of fake sighs, "Look at you, and push yourself into the ghost gate, this last bit of compassion in our family has made you stunned." You must know that there are not many people who know our family, if it weren't for Lao Xia who cherished you and took you into the palace, maybe you wouldn't have to die today. Speaking of which, it was Lao Xia who hurt you. ”
Sun Fuheng didn't speak.
He is not a quick talker, and after countless storms, he also knows that Tan Fu deliberately undermined his confidence. He is now lacking in strength, and he knows that he will not be able to escape the poison, but if he gives up without fighting, it is not his style, and it is not the style of the dark guards in King Yu's mansion
When he was young, Xia Lao took him into the palace and taught him a few masters, and he accidentally met Tan Fu at that time. Xia Lao is not a person with many tongues, so he has never said anything, but he knows that Tan Fu is the shadow of the emperor's side, although not many people know it, but he is definitely a first-class person who can be trusted by the emperor. Could it be that today's incident is really the emperor's handiwork?
His Highness has said that if something happens, the box would rather be destroyed than snatched by someone else.
He gasped and felt the blood gushing out of the wound on his waist. If you use a little more internal force, you are afraid that if you are not killed, you will also die due to blood flow. Your Highness, I'm afraid that my subordinates will no longer be able to follow you. Empress Chen, the little ones can't fulfill your request
Thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways, his body rose and fell backwards, and at the same time his right hand slammed into his chest.
The box was hidden there, and in front of Gonggong Tan and other masters, it was too late to take out the box and destroy it, so he had to kill himself and die with the box
The palm used up the last of his strength, and in his expectation, although he would have his sternum broken and his internal organs shattered, and die a miserable death, the box and its contents would also be gone.
It's a pity that things didn't go as expected, he fell heavily to the ground, his heart was cold, but his right wrist was hot. When he looked down, he saw that there was an iron sword stuck in his heart, and the palm of his right hand had detached from his wrist, and the blood on his chest and hands sprayed on his own head, face and eyes, staining his eyes red, and the whole dark world seemed to have turned blood red.
Tan Fu took a step forward, his hand raised high, and the box that was thrown into the air fell into his hand with great accuracy.
"Little Sun, you are really a ruthless character, our family admires you." Tan Fu's shrill smile was unusually happy and complacent, "Murong Ke, that kid is really blessed to have a subordinate like you." You're actually ...
