Chapter 11: The Assassination of the Palace
Li Tiantu was half-lying on the bed as if he was asleep, and suddenly there was a slight sound of wind from the roof.
This is the sound of the wind brought by the master of light skill stepping on the tile. After figuring it out, he immediately jumped up from the bed, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw a faint black shadow above his head hurrying towards the imperial study where Tianxuandu was located.
Li Tiantu didn't hesitate at the moment, and followed the black shadow to chase after him.
When I arrived at the door of the imperial study, I saw four first-class guards with knives in front of the palace guarding the courtyard safe and sound. Li Tiantu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was nothing abnormal at this time.
However, at this time, the situation changed abruptly, and I only heard a loud "boom" coming from the top of the Taiji Hall.
Worst!
Li Tiantu immediately broke into the door, and the four imperial guards were also startled and followed.
A masked man in black descended from the roof, and a short blade in his hand stabbed towards the Tianxuan Capital, who was reviewing the folds.
Tianxuandu was very calm in the face of the sudden sneak attack, and he didn't even mean to get up.
The assassin was obviously a master, and his invisible murderous aura penetrated through his body and went straight to Tianxuandu, so that he couldn't even raise the idea of escaping.
Li Tiantu, who stepped on the door, was still three feet away, but the fatal blow of the black-clothed assassin was as fast as thunder, and at this time, the frontal attack was beyond the reach of the whip. In a hurry, Li Tiantu was in a hurry, and ejected the Liuyun jade pendant in his hand with the power of the Heavenly Dao, in fact, he was just doing his best, the short knife of the man in black with a sword in the dark can be described as indestructible, can a small jade pendant be blocked?
The Liuyun jade pendant, which hit the short knife head-on, fell to the ground with a "clanging" sound, still intact.
The blade of the man in black was deflected by the jade wear, and after this moment, Li Tiantu and the four imperial guards had already caught up, and the assassin sighed secretly, knowing that the best time had passed, and his body flew out from the roof.
What is surprising is that at this time, Tianxuandu did not pay too much attention to the pursuit of the assassin, but stared intently at the Liuyun jade pendant on the ground, with a strange expression, as if the jade pendant in front of him was more important than capturing the assassin.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is late, please atone for your sins. It wasn't until Li Tiantu spoke out that Tianxuan came back to his senses.
"This jade pendant is something on your body? Tian Xuandu did not answer Tiantu's words, his expression was a little abnormal at this time, and his voice trembled slightly.
Li Tiantu understood that he had escaped death, and he didn't care when he was frightened, but just glanced at the jade pendant in Tianxuandu's hand strangely, and replied: "The minister didn't expect it to be so hard, and he saved the emperor at the critical moment, which is a personal thing that Weichen has carried on his body since he was a child." "
Tianxuandu only knew at this time why he had such a strange feeling when he saw Li Tiantu for the first time. This turned out to be her peerless cloud pendant, of course, it was extremely hard, and it could cut gold and jade. At that time, he didn't believe that a naturally formed piece of jade could really sharpen iron like clay, and even tried his own sword, until he saw the strange woman use this jade pendant to cut off his own sword from the hand of a famous teacher, and he was really impressed from the bottom of his heart.
That windy strange woman is the most beloved woman in his life. Are you married now? Is this her son?
Tianxuandu's heart was full of doubts, after twenty years, he suddenly saw people and things related to her, and the emperor couldn't help but hold Li Tiantu's hand in a gaffe.
"Your Majesty, you ......" Li Tiantu was a little flattered.
It is the duty of a courtier to save the emperor in danger. Tianxuandu's abnormal behavior made Li Tiantu a little overwhelmed.
Tianxuandu felt that he was a little out of shape at this time, and when he didn't know how to explain it, the four imperial guards on duty who had pursued the assassin to no avail turned around in time and knelt at the door of the Taiji Palace.
Just now, the emperor's life hung by a thread, but they couldn't save it, once the Son of Heaven blamed it, it would be a serious crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and they were sincerely afraid.
"Stand down, it's all right." Only then did Tianxuandu clear his thoughts. Looking at this courtier, who is likely to be the son of his most beloved woman, his originally boring mood is much better.
The four imperial guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and bowed out of the imperial study.
After Tianxuandu returned to the bookcase, he sat down, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that there are still people in the Jingshi who want my life." I'm glad to have you today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Li Tiantu was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, isn't there a master in the huge palace who can hold the table?" Although the Assassin's martial arts just now were high, they were also limited. ”
Tian Xuandu smiled bitterly and said: "Since he was killed without regret, there have been many omissions in the defense of the Forbidden Palace. And it was only a day after the first master of the palace, Gonggong Wei, left Beijing to return to his hometown and province, and such a thing happened, I was too careless. However, I am fortunate to have you to help me now. ”
Suddenly there is such an unfathomable close-fitting master, and it is also the son of the woman he loves deeply, Tianxuan has a feeling of joy descending from the sky.
As the center of power in the Celestial Empire, the forces of all parties are intricate, and they are fighting openly and secretly. Although Li Tiantu knew something from Tianxuandu's mouth, this was only the surface, and as for the deeper things, he naturally couldn't see it clearly for a while, so he didn't express his opinion on the assassination, just kept silent.
