194 Fighting Hearts and Wits (3)
The footsteps stopped, the long fingers were slightly extended, and the internal force had condensed the fingertips.
"Go wrong, turn left, go ahead, the third ...... to the east"
When he pulled off the cover from his eyes and turned his head, he happened to see four bright red slender kodans disappear from the dark blue wall.
Yes, she was pointing in exactly what he felt.
Who is this woman?
But he didn't have time to think about it, and when there was no one at this moment, he quickly moved to the door.
The door slammed, and in a blink of an eye, he was gone.
The room is not big, and the arrangement is no different from other rooms in the palace, but it is precisely because of this ordinariness that it is even more mysterious.
The room was quiet, but he could already hear a slight breathing on the other side of the wall.
Three.
He moved forward quietly.
The steps are as light as gnats.
The sound of breathing was still slight, but it was already a little messy, but according to its method of breathing, it should be a master.
That's it!
The corners of his lips hooked up a smile, but his eyes were even more cold.
On the opposite wall are two paintings, a spring peony and a Chang'e running to the moon, with a vase of flowers in the middle, and the pale red moon season is covered with a halo in the candlelight.
He looked at a few moons for a while, and picked the half-open and half-closed one in the middle with his long fingers.
This flower is not unique, only the bottom of the stem is pruned into a "swastika" shape.
narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the flower branch, and gently tapped towards the jade rabbit in Chang'e's arms in the painting......
In the shadow of the candle, it is difficult to see that the pupils of the jade rabbit are reflecting the word "swastika".
A dull, hoarse voice slowly came from behind itself.
The huge bookshelf was slowly moving, revealing an eerie black.
——————————————————————
A man who looked like a eunuch poked his head out, but saw that the room was silent, and even the moon flowers that could activate the mechanism were inserted in the celadon vase with a twig pattern.
But how did the door open?
He was wondering to himself, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He didn't even have time to think about what was happening, he was already on the ground.
"Who?"
A trembling voice was asked in the darkness, but no one answered.
This silence is the most terrifying.
Stepping forward, he tried to press the switch to move the bookshelf again, but a cold air hit.
As soon as he realized that it was "not good", the man had fallen to the ground.
——————————————————————
Yuwen Xuancang floated down from the roof like a piece of paper, stepped past the corpse of the person at the door, and walked inside.
How can it be so quiet?
Jinling, aren't you there?
No, he could already feel her breathing, just ahead.
Her breath was disordered and rapid, and he could imagine her staring nervously at him in the corner.
As soon as he lit the fire, he felt a gust of wind blowing.
He stopped her who was trying to rush out: "Don't be afraid, it's my ......"
Her struggle froze.
In the darkness, he could feel her looking at him, eyes full of disbelief.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming......"
Embraced her in his arms, listened to her tremble crush fear to pieces, and then whimpered uncontrollably.
Untie the strip of cloth from your mouth, and untie the rope from your wrist.
His movements suddenly stopped, and he grabbed her little hand.
There was no light, but there must have been a wound on the little hand, for his hand was covered with a viscous and fishy liquid.
There are also deep dent marks on the wrist, one after another.
The rope was so tightly tied that she had already lost consciousness, so even if he accidentally touched the wound, she didn't feel any pain in the slightest.
However, his heart hurt little by little, as if all the scars on her hands were transferred to his heart, and then tightened with a rope layer by layer, forcing out the blood in it, drop by drop.
For a moment, he really wanted to burn down this Ziyang Palace, so that all this filth would be wiped out, and only by watching the flames and smoke billowing could he slightly offset the hatred in his heart.
hugged her tightly, and the slightly trembling voice was an unstoppable killing intent: "Jinling, one day, I will ask him to repay it a thousand times over!" ”
——————————————————————
Yuwen Xuanyi "accompanied" Yuwen Xuansheng to stay at the gate of the palace, looking at the chaos in front of him for a long time, and the corners of his lips were used to smiling, but when he heard "The assassin has been caught" from inside, the smile froze.
He's got her!
The heart is relieved, but bitter.
This time he did come one step earlier, but he still missed it.
Yes, it was Yuwen Xuancang who found her, not Yuwen Xuanyi. For her, it was better to see King Yu in a desperate situation than to see him.
He smiled even brighter.
And so, he missed it again.
The two black-clad assassins were thrown out of the door, already dying, blood gushing from the corners of their lips.
Yuwen Xuansheng's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at him: "King Qingning also saw it, this palace has been guarding outside the palace, and this matter has nothing to do with this palace." ”
Yuwen Xuanyi smiled brightly: "Since it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, it is a group of boys who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth are making trouble." Commander Sue, are these two assassins the only? ”
Su Mufeng clasped his fists and saluted: "There were seven assassins, five of them were killed, and these two were originally captured, but because of the negligence of the general, they bit their tongues and committed suicide." ”
Yuwen Xuanyi smiled: "How could it be the negligence of Commander Su?" Since the assassins dared to come to the palace to assassinate, they were determined to die, and even if they did not bite their tongues and commit suicide, they were not allowed to die at the hands of others. ”
As he spoke, he squinted at the prince.
Yuwen Xuansheng has long lost his previous calmness.
He knew that this Yuwen Xuanyi first rushed into the backyard while taking advantage of the chaos, but after the guards entered the palace, they had been standing at the door with him, ostensibly "accompaniment", but in fact "surveillance", that is, they did not let him enter the palace and then make arrangements.
Although he ordered someone to hide Su Jinling in the secret room, he was not at ease after all.
Today's events were too strange, and he thought that someone would ask him for someone, but he didn't want to get into this situation. Now a few Assassins were suddenly pulled out, and it was thought that the people who had come had been taken away.
Angry and angry, but unable to attack, until the chest swelled and ached.
Yuwen Xuanyi, this account is settled with you!
Yuwen Xuanyi smiled calmly.
After this time, the master of Zixiang Palace is afraid that he has also broken a lot, so let the prince slowly feel heartache.
"Prince...... Prince ......"
His voice was soft and beautiful, like the softest wisp of wind at night, calling back Yuwen Xuansheng's thoughts.
"The Su guards have made a meritorious contribution to the escort, the palace has written it down, now ask the Su guards to take a cadre and wait for the emperor to return to his life." Yuwen Xuansheng barely suppressed his anger and tried to make a gesture of relief.
"The last general has disturbed the prince, and he deserves death. Thanks to the prince's magnanimity, the last general thanked the prince. The last will take his leave! ”
Yuwen Xuanyi smiled and watched Su Mufeng leave with the guards, and sighed: "Commander Su has trained the troops well, and in just a few days, the quality of this Praetorian Guard is much more neat, no wonder my father values him so much......"
"Is the sixth brother afraid that the palace will trouble the Su guards afterwards?"
Yuwen Xuanyi's eyes widened in disbelief: "How dare my brother?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been lenient and forgiving, as we all know......"
"Okay, okay," Yuwen Xuansheng waved his hand impatiently: "The assassins have all been ambushed, and the sixth brother doesn't have to watch the show here......"
"Why did the emperor say this? The younger brother is just worried about the safety of the imperial brother......"
"Mulian saves his mother...... The emperor's brother saves his brother...... Not bad, haha...... The sixth brother's heart, this palace has received it! Yuwen Xuansheng's last sentence was extremely meaningful.
Yuwen Xuanyi smiled slightly, as if he didn't understand, but also seemed to understand, waved his sleeves, and saluted: "Then the younger brother is disrespectful." ”
The prince let out a soft snort and was carried by the official into the palace gate.
Yuwen Xuanyi watched the gold-inlaid jade-inlaid chariot blend into the brilliance of the lights, folded the sleeves of his robe, narrowed his eyes, and turned into cold in a flash.
However, the next moment, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, but he smiled again.
——————————————————————
"It's okay, jump off, I'll pick you up."
On the luxuriant banyan tree, Su Jinling hugged the trunk tightly and looked at the snow-robed man below.
His face was full of smiles, like an iceberg folding the sun, it was so dazzling.
But she shook her head firmly.
Today, Yuwen Xuancang took her to this unknown garden.
Looking at the location, it seems to be close to the edge of Tianluan City. Trees, grass, lonely and desolate scenery, it is a secluded place, but also a world of rats, they not only dare to haunt the daytime, but also have no intention of dodging when they see people.
The reason why it is so cold is that it is often haunted at night, because the Soyun Pavilion, which is not far from here, was once a mortuary.
She didn't know why there was such a place in the palace, but she knew that if she knew that this place was haunted, she would not come with him.
So he tricked her, and the two of them sat among the branches and leaves that were big enough to hide their figures, and she ate the pastries he had bought at Tianxianglou, and listened to him tell stories about the past.
Whether it is laughter or exclamation, it is only covered by the sound of the wind and leaves. Being in this place is like a desperate situation.
She really liked it a little bit, and would have liked it even more if it weren't for the haunted legends.
Yuwen Xuancang's mind she also understood, it was nothing more than to scare her into hiding in his arms and not daring to move. But knowing this, he still repeatedly fell for it. Fortunately, she stuck to the barrier and refused to let him succeed in the end.
But he was unyielding.
Look, it's going to happen again.
Aside from his ruse, the height alone made her afraid to try.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The graceful arm was held like that, with its open sleeves fluttering, and the cuffs were secretly embroidered with moire fragments and glittering, which was an indescribable temptation.
Damn, he brought her up, he should have taken her down.
She looked at him in embarrassment, and her hand gripped the trunk tighter.
"If you don't come down again, I'll go."
As he spoke, he took two steps.
But she knew he wouldn't leave her alone.
Sure enough, he turned around again, his face seemed to be a little displeased, but suddenly his color changed in an instant.
"Bug ......"
"Ah......h
She screamed, and before she could see where the insects were, the man fell from the tree.
