It was already a curfew, the full moon hung high in the night sky, the autumn wind was blowing, and some of the delicate trees that could not bear the slightest cold had already fallen their leaves, and were blown by the wind and danced in the empty streets.

A group of black-clothed men walked quickly and stealthily on the eaves, and the long swords in the moonlight emitted a cold and bloodthirsty light, and finally stopped on top of a small mansion.

The residences of officials above the second rank of the Nancheng Imperial Court are all in the palace, and Wei Xi is only from the third grade, so the National Teacher's Mansion is outside the palace, and there is no Imperial Palace's Praetorian Guards guarding it layer by layer, and the entire National Teacher's Mansion is an easy place to break through in the eyes of the people in black.

The sound of the small rubble on the eaves, even if it was very small, was enough to wake Wei Xi up from her dream at night, and her strong skills made her very sensitive to the foreknowledge of danger.

Wei Xiwan was still lying on the bed quietly, with a pair of beautiful eyes and a lazy sleeping posture, quietly waiting for the next move of the people on the eaves.

The sword light suddenly flashed, and dozens of black-clothed people instantly broke through the window and entered.

He really came to assassinate her.

Wei Xi snorted coldly, and before the man in black could react, he was already holding a delicate long sword in his hand, standing leisurely in front of the man in black, staring straight at them.

The robe that was casually draped on his body covered the light and obscene clothes inside, and the long hair was scattered softly without any clothing, and the flowers and moonlight looked extremely beautiful in the moonlight.

At this moment, Wei Xiwan not only couldn't see the slightest nervousness and panic, but looked like he was eager to watch the show.

"Haven't you seen enough? Still stunned?" Seeing that the man in black was still looking at her and didn't move, Wei Xiwan couldn't help but speak.

As soon as the words fell, she was answered by dozens of long swords.

Wei Xiwan chuckled, with a little coquettishness and fearlessness, just tonight she could practice her hands.

In the early morning, the news of the capture of fifteen assassins by the National Teacher's Mansion was quickly reported to the palace.

"Capture alive, is the National Teacher's Mansion so capable?" Tan Jiangkun, the Imperial History Master who was standing aside and heard the news, narrowed his eyes, revealing a suspicious look.

"Report to Your Majesty, it was captured alive by Tao Shaoqing's subordinates of Dali Temple. The subordinate who entered the palace said.

"Dali Temple and the National Teacher's Mansion are so far apart, how did Tao Shaoqing in the middle of the night know that there were assassins in the National Teacher's Mansion, and they were all captured alive so coincidentally?"

"This Tan Lord may not know, Tao Shaoqing and the Weiguo Division and even the friendship, it is normal to rest assured that the safety of the Weiguo Division, it is not the troops of Dali Temple who are arranged in the National Teacher's Mansion, but Lizong Jianzhuang. Su Yilin replied lightly.

Tao Duyu arranged for the people who left Zongshan Villa to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to protect Wei Xi's good night, and he already knew about it.

Because he has a secret task, which is to keep an eye on the forces of Lizong Jianzhuang at all times to prevent it from getting out of control.

"Where are those fifteen people now?" Wang Chengchen didn't make much waves, he could completely guess who wanted to kill Wei Xiwan.

"He has been taken to Dali Temple for interrogation. ”

"Since you are an assassin, how can you easily capture them alive?" Tan Jiangkun asked again, assassins usually choose to commit suicide if they fail to assassinate, and it is not easy to capture them alive.

"All of them were picked out of their hamstrings, and the poison in their mouths was taken out. "The subordinates who entered the palace to report were the people of Tao Duyu of Dali Temple, and they clearly explained the situation one by one.

"Alright. Wang Chengchen waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

"Your Majesty, this matter ......" Su Yilin wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Chengchen.

"Wait. Wang Chengchen knew what Su Yilin was thinking, this move was obviously a provocation to the Nancheng Imperial Court, they should fight back, but it was not time yet.

National Teacher's House.

Tao Duyu, who had temporarily dealt with the assassins, rushed to the National Teacher's Mansion, and this morning, Wei Xiwan sent her to quietly arrange for the people from Lizong Jianzhuang in the National Teacher's Mansion to escort fifteen assassins to the gate of Dali Temple.

It wasn't a big deal, and she'd taken care of everything.

The problem is that she thought that Wei Xiwan didn't know that she had arranged for someone from Zong Jianzhuang to be in the National Teacher's Mansion, but she didn't expect that she would know that according to her subordinates from Zong Jianzhuang, Wei Xiwan could even call out their names last night.

However, what surprised her even more was that Wei Xi was killed by an assassin last night, in fact, the people who left Zong Jian Zhuang did not help at all, when the people who left Zong Jian Zhuang noticed that something was wrong in Wei Xi's room, the fifteen people had fallen to the ground when they came in, and they just helped tie the rope.

Tao Duyu stepped into the seemingly calm National Teacher's Mansion, as if nothing happened last night, and the heart she was carrying finally let go a little, it seemed that her evening was not injured.

"Momo, you're here. Before Tao Duyu asked the maid on the side, Wei Xiwan greeted her with a smile.

"You come in for me. Tao Duyu's face was still not so good, so he walked straight into the living room with a few words.

"Why does it seem that this National Teacher's Mansion is yours?" Wei Xiwan disagreed, smiled and followed Tao Duyu into the living room, and closed the door after ordering no one to disturb.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Looking at Tao Duyu's unsmiling appearance, Wei Xiwan turned around a few times in place, indicating that he was really not injured in any way.

"It's not worry-free. Tao Duyu rolled her eyes and complained, God knows how worried she was, but the person concerned didn't take her safety seriously at all.

"What's not worrying? I'm reassuring. Wei Xiwan pursed her mouth and retorted a little mischievously, only in front of Tao Duyu would she have such a careless appearance.

"Reassuring that someone still wants to assassinate you?" Tao Duyu obviously didn't agree with what Wei Xiwan said, "Do you know who wants you to die?"

"Wow, you didn't even come out of the trial? You Dali Temple Shaoqing can't do it!" Wei Xiwan looked at Tao Duyu and made a very regretful and suspicious expression.

"Is it okay to get to the point?" Tao Duyu was a little helpless, and at this time, only Wei Xi was late to joke about her, "You are so easy to judge as this kind of assassin, what is the use of torture?"

"Okay, I know, who else could there be? Wei Xi picked up a cup of tea and said slowly.

When she was in the city, she already knew that Shen Tucang had sent people to follow her and wanted to kill her, but now it has developed to the point of being assassinated in the open.

"Shen Tucang, half of it is for you, and half is for Your Majesty. Tao Duyu frowned slightly.

"Yes, the new king ascends the throne, if you can kill the new king's sharp spirit, what a good chance. Wei Xiwan nodded, Shen Tucang's abacus played very well, but he underestimated her Wei Xiwan.

"You haven't actually entered the center of power, just on the periphery, even so, there are already people who want to take your life, so ...... in the future" How dangerous it should be, Tao Duyu's last sentence did not come out, she believed that Wei Xiwan could understand what she meant.

When Wei Xiwan heard this, her eyes darkened obviously, not that she was already in danger, but that she had been excluded from the periphery of power by Wang Chengchen intentionally or unintentionally, and she was not given a chance to get close at all.

But now that she has been made a national teacher, thinking about this, Wei Xiwan's eyes were dyed with joy again, and Wang Chengchen's affirmation of her that day was still in his ears.

Seeing Wei Xiwan's expression change all of a sudden, Tao Duyu couldn't help but speak: "Did you hear what I was talking about just now?"

"Hear. Wei Xiwan turned his head and smiled at Tao Duyu, "It is said that in the game of thrones, there are only two kinds of people. ”

"Which two?" Tao Duyu asked.

"Stepping stones, and stumbling blocks. Since I am not Shen Tucang's stepping stone, I am a stumbling block, and of course the stumbling block must be removed. Although Wei Xiwan had a little smile on his face, his words came out with a bit of coldness and murderous intent.

"In the same way, Shen Tucang is also a stumbling block between you and Your Majesty. Tao Duyu then said the next sentence.

"That's right, although many people know the purpose of his assassination, the imperial court should not respond so quickly. Wei Xi took a sip of tea and said that the move of the imperial court represents the move of a country, and naturally it will not fight back so easily.

But she Wei Xiwan is different, when she wanted to create a peerless world, it was to become an uncontrollable, invisible claw.

"So...... Do you want to be polite?" Tao Duyu raised her eyebrows, this is really what she will do at night.

"The assassination of the third-grade official of Xiyue Kingdom, now my peerless, I already have this ability. Wei Xi smiled in the evening, and the speed of his peerless rise was far beyond many people's imagination.
