Chapter Seventy-Seven: Robbed
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Robbed
Yang Xi leaned back, and did not forget to push away Zhang Derong beside him, and immediately, the blade almost touched the placket in front of his 'chest', no-the placket in front of his 'chest' was torn, his skin naturally contracted, and he felt the coldness of the blade.
The assassin's sneak attack failed, and he stabbed at his lower abdomen, Yang Xi took a step back in embarrassment, his lower abdomen contracted, and he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he couldn't even resist, he could only dodge constantly.
At this time, he suddenly rejoiced that it was still useful to learn a little martial arts.
The founding emperor of the Great Zhou State, back then, was a soldier and a horse to win the world, the Great Zhou State was even better at martial arts, most of the children of the rich and noble families in the capital invited martial artists to learn martial arts, even the royal family of the Great Zhou State is no exception, as for the achievements of each person, it depends on the talent and their own efforts.
Yang Xi obviously had some hard work in this regard, and dodged the assassin's two knives in succession, and the assassin seemed to be a little surprised, he didn't expect that His Majesty, the emperor of the dignified Zhou Kingdom, would actually have such skills.
"Someone, there's an assassin," Zhang Derong shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
The cold light burst out, the blade was cold, and countless lights and shadows shrouded Yang Xi - Yang Xi retreated again and again, he had already arrived at the shore of Daming Lake, and there was nowhere to retreat.
Seeing that he was about to die under the blade, suddenly, a white light was like a refinement, crossing and crashing into the blade.
With a soft sound, the blade deflected, and slammed into the rockery next to it, and the dragon guards on duty in the distance had already rushed over.
The "damn" assassin stared at Yang Xi fiercely, and actually let him dodge? No, the white rainbow just now is obviously a hidden weapon, and there are other top masters lurking in this place.
Thinking of this, the assassin didn't dare to fight, his body shook, the long knife waved, and his figure was like a big crane flying, flying towards Daming Lake.
"Shoot the arrows, don't let him run," Zhang Derong instructed the dragon guards who rushed over.
Arrows rained down - he 'shot' at the black shadow of the assassin on Daming Lake, but the black shadow seemed to have been prepared, throwing a piece of wood into the water of the lake, and then tiptoe a little on the plank, and then the buoyancy of the water, coupled with its own light work, was in the rain of arrows, and crossed the water.
"Chasing" Yang Xi said angrily, "You must capture this person alive"
In fact, without waiting for Yang Xi's orders, the Dragon Guards had already chased after them, although Zhuzi was far away from the palace, but Shi Wenzheng, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guards, had already commanded all the soldiers to chase after him.
"Your Majesty" Zhang Derong had palpitations, and commanded the Dragon Praetorian Guard to protect Yang Xi in the middle, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief, and Yang Xi lowered his head, bent down and picked up a swallow dart from under his feet.
"Your Majesty, this evil assassin, you must catch him, a thousand knives" If Yang Xi hadn't pushed him in his busy schedule just now, the assassin's knife could not hurt Yang Xi but could easily cut him, and he was just an ordinary wrestler, but he didn't know martial arts at all.
Thinking about it, Zhang Derong was afraid, of course, he was even more afraid that Yang Xi would be injured by the assassins, if Yang Xi really had three longs and two shorts, the Great Zhou Kingdom would definitely be violent in a short period of time, and as the head of the Great Interior, the final outcome might be martyrdom.
Yang Xi didn't speak, just worried about the swallow dart in his hand, he had nowhere to retreat just now, if it wasn't for someone secretly sending out such a swallow dart, giving him a chance to win a line, he would have been injured under the assassin's knife.
Needless to say, this assassin was a master of the best, and the man who hid in the shadows and sent swallow darts was no slouch. But these are not the objects of his focus, the point is, this swallow dart? Its owner is actually in the palace?
His palace, at first glance, was heavily guarded, but tonight there were a series of incidents.
"Your Majesty, is this the murder weapon used by the gangsters?" Zhang Derong looked at the swallow dart in Yang Xi's hand and asked in a low voice.
"No," Yang Xi shook his head and said, "This person has also entered the palace?" It's strange that I thought he was dead."
"Your Majesty knows this man?" Zhang Derong opened his mouth and stammered, this assassin, could it be that His Majesty is familiar with it? Who would that be? He has been 'serving' Yang Xi for many years, but he has never seen this swallow dart.
"An old man" The corners of Yang Xi's mouth floated a smile, tonight is still very eventful, between words, he has already walked quickly towards the Qinghe Palace, he wants to ask clearly, how many people did she arrange to enter the palace?
And in the Qinghe Palace, Chen Qingxuan leaned on the chair, had already changed her clothes, combed her hair again, but she didn't sleep, the eyeliner she buried in the palace really went wrong, and she was sold to Yang Xi.
No wonder she arranged for someone to inquire about Yang Xu's news, it has always been a mud cow into the sea, and the next few robberies after no news have also failed frequently, it seems that the master of Ouchi has known her plan for a long time, and has set a trap waiting for her to jump inside, fortunately, she didn't want to retrieve the prince's head at the beginning, otherwise, I was afraid that they would lose more people at that time.
Lu Yuan didn't die, and it also surprised her - how did he escape in that situation? And Lu Yuan obviously didn't want to say it.
She wants to rearrange the eyeliner in the palace, that person, absolutely can't use it Thinking of this, Chen Qingxuan was upset, and the treasury silver of the treasury - until today she didn't know that the treasury silver of the treasury was actually stolen? Is it any wonder that Yang Xi can't get his military salary?
"Niangniang, it's not too early" Yuehe held a cup of tea to her.
Chen Qingxuan took it, just held it in her hand, but didn't drink it, and continued to stare at the lamp in a daze, Yuehe was clear, of course, she was preoccupied, even if she was really urging her to sleep, she couldn't sleep either.
"Listen, something happened to Jinghua Palace tonight?" Tsukiwa asked tentatively.
"Dead a small palace 'girl'" Referring to the matter of Jinghua Palace, Chen Qingxuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I always vaguely feel that something is wrong in my heart, that small palace 'girl' makes me uneasy." β
"It's just a palace 'girl', maybe, someone wants to kill people?" Tsukiwa asked in a low voice.
"No" Chen Qingxuan shook his head and said, "There are many ways to kill people, and the price of killing that 'girl' in the small palace is too high."
"Uh......" Yuehe was stunned, frowned and whispered, "I heard that the 'girl' of the small palace died in a miserable state?" β
Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "Although he died a miserable death, there is no pain, and it is good."
"Tonight is really eventful," Yuehe sighed, "First there was a fire in Huayang Palace, and there was a lot of trouble, and then, we heard that a palace 'girl' died in Jinghua Palace, hey......"
"The fire in Huayang Palace is also very strange," Chen Qingxuan said, "I don't know what Gu Guifei wants to do?" That fire burned too evilly, no matter how stupid she was, she should understand that unless Gu Zhen could return triumphantly, otherwise, she would stay in Huayang Palace honestly."
Yuehe was 'about to speak', but he heard a commotion outside-
"What's wrong?" Chen Qingxuan asked.
"I'll take a look," Yuehe said, already walking outside.
After a while, Yuehe came in again, but his face changed and he said in a low voice: "Miss, it's a shame, someone has assassinated Your Majesty"
"Huh?" When Chen Qingxuan heard this, he stood up abruptly and assassinated Yang Xi? If this Yang Xi really has an accident, I am afraid that the situation in this Great Zhou Kingdom will not be easy to control.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is blessed with a great fate, that evil assassin did not succeed, he has already escaped, and the dragon guards are searching for him" Yuehe said in a low voice.
"It's okay" Chen Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yang Xi is fine, the assassin misses the blow, and there will be no chance to attack, if there is no one in this palace, it is difficult to say whether he can get out.
No, this assassin can 'mix' into the palace without knowing it, and he definitely has someone to answer in this palace? I just don't know who it is, is it the ladies in the palace, or the wrestlers in power?
"Niangniang, Your Majesty is here" Outside, Meizi said loudly.
When Chen Qingxuan heard this, he immediately stood up and went out, Yang Xi was still wearing a silver-white 'colored' robe just now, wearing a black 'colored' robe, after coming in, Zhang Derong stepped forward to take the coat and retreated with interest.
Yuehe brought tea and was busy withdrawing to let the two of them talk.
"Qing is just right," Yang Xi said as he sat down on the chair that Chen Qingxuan was sitting on just now, "I just made a joke, you just let someone give me a knife?" He said as he pointed to the torn placket of his chest.
"Such a low-level game, I still don't bother to play it" Chen Qingxuan sneered, he actually thought that the assassin was arranged by her to enter the palace? It's really a joke, if you want his life, why arrange for assassins to enter the palace?
"I also know that such an inferior method is not like Qing's arm" Yang Xi said lightly, "It's just this thing, Qing won't not know it, right?" As he spoke, he put the swallow dart on the table and pushed it in front of Chen Qingxuan, "I saw this thing three years ago, but I didn't expect that this person was still alive?" And 'blended' into my palace? Qing is really hand-eyed."
"Your Majesty is sure that he is the one who stabbed people tonight?" Chen Qingxuan picked up the swallow dart from the table, put it in his hand and gently checked it, it is indeed Lu Yuan's thing, this guy is confused, what is he doing to assassinate Yang Xi?
Belch? Is it for Zhang Linlin? If that's the case, he's really not an ordinary fool.
"No," Yang Xi shook his head and said, "On the contrary, this person saved me, if it weren't for his swallow dart, I might have suffered a misfortune tonight."
"It's not him" Chen Qingxuan muttered in her heart, it's okay, it's okay, fortunately it's not him, if it's really Lu Yuan, he really has no 'medicine' to save.
"I didn't arrange for him to enter the palace" Chen Qingxuan shook his head and said, "I also found out that he was alive today."
"Oh?" Yang Xi was stunned and asked, "Apart from Qing, who else has such means?" β
"Your Majesty has underestimated the 'female' person in your deep palace too much" Chen Qingxuan sneered, "Your Majesty thinks about it, you should understand that who else can do it, and who else can do it?" β
When Yang Xi heard this, he lowered his head and groaned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Zhang Linlin?" β
This time, Chen Qingxuan was surprised, he could actually guess?
Looking at Chen Qingxuan's face, Yang Xi knew that he had guessed correctly, not only snorted, but also sneered: "They really treat me as a dead person?" β
Chen Qingxuan was very surprised and asked, "What else does Your Majesty know?" β
Yang Xi clenched his fists hard, and only let go after a while, and asked, "Where is this person now?" β
"Your Majesty, do you think I'm going to tell you?" Chen Qingxuan chuckled, could it be that Yang Xi actually knew Zhang Linlin's secret? If that's the case, this man is a little too smart, "What's more, he won't obey me now." β
"Even if he saves me, I won't let him go," Yang Xi said angrily, "What kind of place do you think of this palace as me, come when you want, and leave when you want?" β
"Your Majesty should find out that assassin first," Chen Qingxuan said with a smile, "That assassin can enter the palace to assassinate, but I'm afraid that his skills are not weak."
"Jiupin" Yang Xi has 'handed' with him, and naturally understands that the person who can use light skills to cross Daming Lake in the rain of arrows is definitely a master of Jiupin.
After Yang Xi said this, he stopped talking, and Chen Qingxuan didn't speak, suddenly, Chen Qingxuan stood up abruptly and asked, "Your Majesty, is Yang Xu still in the palace?" β
"In" Yang Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you worried that someone will kidnap him?" β
"Yes," Chen Qingxuan nodded, "Where are you keeping him?" β
"Don't worry, no one will find it" Yang Xi sneered, "It's indeed a scourge to keep him, but killing him will make it even more troublesome."
"He is the concubine of the first queen, the crown prince is dead, and he is more justified than you," Chen Qingxuan said.
"You-" Yang Xi was so angry when he heard this that he almost vomited blood, but he knew that Chen Qingxuan was just talking about the matter, not intentionally satirizing him, after all, if someone robbed Yang Xu, it would not be difficult to find a reason to abolish the emperor, he didn't have a talisman in hand, and now in addition to Gu Zhen, Qin Hou and Zhenguo Gong and others were not satisfied with him, Emperor Yinxi.
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother didn't know what the wrong 'medicine' was at that time and blindly supported him, it would be absolutely easy for him to ascend to the throne smoothly.
"When you say it, I feel a little wrong" Yang Xi groaned for a moment and said, "If Qing is not tired, why don't you go with me to see him?" Anyway, you're going to see him."
"Okay" Chen Qingxuan nodded, stood up and put on a crane coat, Yang Xi had already walked outside first.
"Your Majesty, it's so late, why don't you stay here with Mrs. Chenrong" Outside, Zhang Derong persuaded in a low voice.
"No, I'm leaving," Yang Xi said, "Mrs. Chenrong will go with you." β
"Huh?" When Zhang Derong heard this, he was busy holding the sable fur coat, draped it on Yang Xi's body, and ordered someone to pass the 'jade', and Yang Xi and Chen Qingxuan sat together.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Zhang Derong asked.
"Showa Xuan," Yang Xi said in a low voice.
"Yes" Zhang Derong heard this, and hurriedly agreed, sixteen little wrestlers carried the 'jade', and the dragon guards hugged each other and hugged each other.
As soon as the 'jade' took a few steps, Zhang Derong replied through the curtain: "Your Majesty, General Shi Wenzheng, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, asks to see you."
"Xuan," Yang Xi said lightly.
"Minister Shi Wenzheng knocked to see Your Majesty" Outside, Shi Wenzheng's clear voice came, "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, let that assassin escape"
"Ran away?" Yang Xi couldn't help but look at Chen Qingxuan beside him and frowned.
Chen Qingxuan gestured at him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forget it, this is not a dereliction of duty on the part of the Dragon Guard" She can guarantee that the assassin will definitely have someone in the palace to answer him, otherwise, it will be difficult to 'mix' into the palace 'gate'.
"Tell the dragon guards, strengthen the vigilance, send the order down, and search the whole city," Yang Xi ordered, "Absolutely can't let that assassin run away like this"
"Yes," Shi Wenzheng hurriedly agreed loudly.
"Wait," Chen Qingxuan said suddenly.
Shi Wenzheng was a little stunned, because Yang Xi was sitting in the 'jade' bowl, the curtain was lowered, he naturally couldn't see everything inside, but he didn't expect that His Majesty was waiting for such a time, and he actually traveled with the concubines in the palace?
"Commander Shi, how did you get that assassin to escape? Can you tell us about Hongu? Chen Qingxuan asked, based on his feelings, that assassin was definitely still in the palace.
Although Shi Wenzheng doesn't know which palace is sitting in His Majesty's 'jade' bowl, but he dares to call himself this palace, at least he is also a concubine on the third grade, and he is also deeply favored, otherwise, such a big event, where is it the turn of a deep palace concubine to 'insert' the mouth?
It's just that Shi Wenzheng has some bad taste in his heart, a 'female' stream, he knows something, should he want to sell 'tricks' in front of His Majesty, and by the way, condemn him for being incompetent? The palace made trouble with the assassins, he was indeed derelict in his duties, but let the assassins escape, Shi Wenzheng was already very wretched, and his heart was already unhappy, and it was even more unpleasant to be asked by Chen Qingxuan.
"Hui Niangniang, that assassin ran to the vicinity of the falling moon 'wave', and in a flash, he disappeared, and the minister already understood that the dragon guards searched carefully" No matter how dissatisfied he was, Shi Wenzheng still replied according to the truth.
Disappear in a flash? Moon 'waves'? Why wasn't she impressed at all?
"Where is the moon 'wave'?" Chen Qingxuan asked, but this sentence was not for Shi Wenzheng, but for Yang Xi.
"The Hibiscus Pavilion is not far from the past, and it is the 'wave' of the falling moon," Yang Xi said.
"Commander Shi, you go and check the number of Dragon Guards to see if there is a shortage," Chen Qingxuan ordered.
Shi Wenzheng was stunned, could it be that she suspected that the assassin was 'mixed' in the Dragon Guard? Unlike the Falling Moon 'Wave' and the Hibiscus Pavilion, there are no large buildings to hide, and the assassin's black shadow flashed and disappeared, which is really a bit unbelievable, unless he 'blends' into the dragon guard, when everyone was busy catching the assassins, and the 'chaos' was a mess, and no one would notice his own people.
Thinking of this, Shi Wenzheng only felt that the palms of his hands were wet, but there was a cold feeling on his back.
"Why don't you go soon?" Yang Xi heard this and shouted.
"No need" Chen Qingxuan said, "This kind of thing, just 'hand' it over to the person below to deal with, that person should still be in the palace, at this time the palace 'door' has long been closed, if he forcibly knocks on the palace 'door', he will definitely be suspected - he must be thinking of using the identity of the palace person to cover up, waiting for the dawn after the 'mix' out of the palace, the gods don't know, the ghosts don't know"
"Niangniang's analysis is extreme" Shi Wenzheng At this time, he no longer dared to complain about Chen Qingxuan's troubles.
"Commander Shi will go to Showa Xuan with him," Chen Qingxuan commanded again.
"Yes, the minister obeys the order," Shi Wenzheng said busily.
Soon, the 'jade' bowl arrived near Showa Xuan, Zhang Derong opened the curtain, Yang Xi got off the 'jade' first, then turned around and reached out to help Chen Qingxuan.
Shi Wenzheng was extremely curious in his heart, what kind of 'girl' is this, and she actually has such a mind? With the help of the lanterns played by the two little wrestlers, Shi Wenzheng saw clearly, Chen Qingxuan was wearing a long skirt of pine 'flower' and 'color', a small jacket of autumn fragrance 'color', a snow-white 'color' crane, a duck egg face, and a pair of big eyes seemed to glow under the cover of the light, revealing a terrifying luster.
is obviously a very gentle and elegant 'girl' child, but those eyes are full of coldness - no, it is murderous
Probably sensing his almost rude gaze, Yang Xi's eyes looked towards him, Shi Wenzheng was busy bowing his head, he was a guard of the Forbidden Palace, and when he saw the concubines of the Deep Palace, he should have lowered his head to avoid it, instead of staring at others like this.
"This is Showagen?" Chen Qingxuan raised his head and looked at the small courtyard in front of him, it was not big, but it was still 'fine', compared to the dilapidated Luofeng Pavilion, it was much better.
"Yes," Yang Xi said with a smile.
"Why are there no lights?" Chen Qingxuan asked.
"Qing doesn't want to think about it, what time is it?" Yang Xi didn't feel it, there was no light in this place, what was there to be strange.
"Let's go in and take a look" Chen Qingxuan always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Okay" Yang Xi said, while personally helping her, and walked towards Showa Xuan, Zhang Derong took the lantern and walked to the 'door' first, and went to knock on the 'door'.
"Bang bang bang-" The brass ring was fastened on the 'door' and knocked loudly, but no one inside answered.
"Huh?" Zhang Derong involuntarily sighed and asked puzzledly, "What about the people inside?" "Even if Yang Xu is already asleep, there are guards on duty? This place has always been heavily guarded, comparable to the prison of the Criminal Department.
"Knock the 'door' open," Chen Qingxuan commanded softly.
"Yes" Shi Wenzheng heard this, and had already strode up, raised his foot and kicked it heavily at the wooden 'door'.
There was a loud "bang", and the wooden 'door' slammed, and he kicked it open, but then, Shi Wenzheng stood on the ground dumbfounded.
"What's wrong?" Yang Xi and Chen Qingxuan's sights were blocked by him and Zhang Derong, and they couldn't see the scene inside the courtyard, but looking at the expressions of the two, they also knew that something was bound to happen.
"Your Majesty - Your Majesty - Dead...... A lot of blood ......" Zhang Derong's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered.
When Chen Qingxuan heard this, he didn't care about Yang Xi, he grabbed it quickly, took the lantern from Zhang Derong's hand, took a picture on the ground, and started from the 'door' and went all the way to the courtyard.
The guard's body fell to the ground in all directions, and it was obvious that he had died of anger. Yang Xi's face was obviously very ugly, tonight, there were too many things in this palace.
"I'll go in and take a look, you wait for me outside" Chen Qingxuan gritted her teeth and said, thinking about it, if Yang Xu was not robbed by others, she would have already encountered an accident, but no matter what the situation, it would be very unfavorable to her.
"I'm with you," Yang Xi held her hand and said firmly.
Chen Qingxuan didn't speak, carefully avoiding the blood stains on the ground, and at the same time instructed Shi Wenzheng: "Commander Shi, you quickly count the number of people here." β
"Yes" Shi Wenzheng nodded busily in agreement, being able to face such a scene and be as calm as the old 'girl' can be called a "strange" word.
Walking through the courtyard, Chen Qingxuan didn't stop even and walked directly to the upper room of Showa Xuan. The 'door' was hidden, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed, the 'door' opened, the inside was fine, there was no bloody scene outside, only two corpses, lying on the ground, looking at their clothes, it should be two inner 'waiters'.
There was no trace of a fight in the room, Chen Qingxuan looked around, and did not find Yang Xu's body, and finally breathed a sigh of relief - he was just robbed, not dead, fortunately.
It's just that who robbed Yang Xu is really a question.
Chen Qingxuan took a deep breath, with a strong smell of blood in the cold wind, she searched around with a lantern in the room, but she didn't find any useful clues, and it was definitely not one person who did it, but it was obvious that they were all masters.
"What did you find?" Yang Xi asked in a low voice.
"No" Chen Qingxuan shook his head and asked, "Your Majesty locked him up here, but does anyone still know?" β
Yang Xi pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Is it the meaning of the prime minister?" β
"Zhang Quanheng?" Chen Qingxuan was stunned and asked, "Why?" β
"Originally, he had been locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, but someone robbed the prison, so Prime Minister Zhang Quanheng suggested that it was better to move him to the palace, but it would be safe, and now that I have been on the throne for a long time, I am not afraid that some people will be able to turn out some water 'flowers'." Yang Xi said.
"Hey-" Chen Qingxuan just laughed, Yang Xu's identity was there, and Emperor Yinxi did not have a talisman in his hand, although only a few people knew about this news, but after all, it was not right.
No matter how long he has been on the throne, as long as some people want to make a 'wave', they can still borrow the identity of Yang Xu's son-in-law.
"He's just been kidnapped, so it won't be a big deal," Chen Qingxuan said.
"I'd rather he died," Yang Xi whispered dissatisfied.
"He's going to die, it's a big trouble" Chen Qingxuan turned around and smiled at him.
"Qingβwhy do you say that?" Yang Xi was inexplicably laughed by her, and asked puzzled.
"It's not early, it's better to go back to sleep" Chen Qingxuan covered her mouth and yawned.
"Returning to Your Majesty - Showa Xuan guards attacked twelve people on duty, but only eleven corpses were found" Shi Wenzheng strode over and bowed to Yang Xi.
"Well, it's very good, the inside and the outside should be together, and Wei will save Zhao" Chen Qingxuan nodded, "Very clever means"
Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Qing is saying that the assassin who assassinated me and the person who robbed him are in the same group?" β
"That's right" Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "In such a situation, no one will be able to endure it, and risk entering the palace to assassinate His Majesty, this is the crime of exterminating the Nine Clans, unless, they have other plans, I want to think about it, what they are trying to do, it should be this person." β
"So what now?" Yang Xi frowned and asked.
"There are other people in this person's palace to answer, close the palace 'door', and search all palaces and halls" Chen Qingxuan said, "If we can't find him tonight, then in a short time, I'm afraid we won't find him." β
"Where is Shi Wenzheng?" Yang Xi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Quick, search all palaces and halls, no one can be an exception." β

The name of the Shengshi Palace is finally on the shelves, and Wanqing is here to thank all the officials for their great support, begging for subscriptions, asking for rewards, and asking for the support of pink tickets, thank you
