Chapter 6: The Night Assassin

From Jiang Zhong's writing of "Silent Night Thoughts" to trigger the vision of inviting the moon to his awakening of literary courage and suspected of condensing martial arts, time has not passed too long, it is about the time of half a cup of tea, so when Jiang Hongdie, who first discovered the vision, appeared in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Jiang Zhong was already admiring the moon in his hands, as if nothing had happened, which was also the reason why Jiang Hongdie tried him.

How shocking is the spectacular scene of the moonlight pillar crashing into the world, it is impossible for Jiang Hongdie, a starry sky lover, not to be curious about it, if the moonlight essence is really poured into Jiang Zhong's body, then there will definitely be some unusual changes in his body, such as the awakening of the world's courage, such as the condensation of the terrifying martial arts, and even some other changes beyond his own knowledge...... It's just that tentacle, Jiang Hongdie didn't touch anything, and couldn't help but be very surprised, and when he tried further, the palace was on fire.

After Jiang Hongdie left, another group of people came to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and a leading eunuch and a group of palace maids were ordered to deliver night food to Jiang Zhonglai.

"Prince Zhong, Your Majesty has a reward. Eunuch Xia said gently.

Jiang Zhong nodded slightly and said, "There is labor."

Eunuch Xia waved his hand, and the palace maid began to put the food on the old wooden table in an orderly manner, Jiang Zhong took a look and found that except for a few common snacks such as duck porridge, chestnuts, and cheese, most of the other foods could not be named.

After the palace maid finished setting out the food, she bowed down and retreated into the distance, her steps were orderly, her movements were neat, Jiang Zhong secretly surprised herself, and Eunuch Xia saluted slightly, and said, "Your Highness, please use it slowly, the servants will retire." ”

Jiang Zhong said: "With so many at once, I can't eat it alone, so let's sit down and eat together." ”

Eunuch Xia hurriedly bowed down and replied, "How dare the minions dine with His Highness?"

Jiang Zhong thought for a while and said, "In this case, you each eat a little bit of the desserts and snacks on the table, and I will reward you, so don't shirk it." ”

"This ......" Eunuch Xia hesitated slightly, and had to agree, if it was before, in the face of this nominal Seventh Prince, naturally there was no need to pay much attention, but tonight, His Majesty actually issued a special order to reward the Seven Princes on the occasion of receiving the envoys of the Nine Kingdoms, which means that it is worth paying attention to.

If Eunuch Xia knew that His Majesty the Emperor had instructed the Queen to move the Seventh Prince to the Guanwen Hall tomorrow, his attitude would inevitably be even more respectful.

At this time, seeing that the seventh prince insisted on rewarding, Eunuch Xia couldn't refuse again, took an empty plate, took a little snack and snacks, and then divided it with several palace maids, and after sharing the food, he led the palace maids to thank him.

Jiang Zhong bowed his head and said, "You're welcome." ”

"Then the servants will retire and not disturb His Highness's meal. ”

Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "Trouble my father-in-law to help me say thank you to Your Majesty." ”

Eunuch Xia looked slightly surprised, and Jiang Zhong hurriedly changed his words and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your gift." ”

Eunuch Xia and several palace maids walked out of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion to the square, and asked a palace maid who walked in the front halfway: "Have you seen His Royal Highness Prince Zhong before?"

The palace maid replied, "I haven't seen it." ”

Eunuch Xia let out a "hmm" and said, "Then it's not strange, otherwise I must be as puzzled as I am about why the middle prince I saw tonight changed his appearance from head to toe, strange, strange." ”

Here, Jiang Zhong waited for the eunuch Xia and the palace maids to leave, and he didn't rush to enjoy the food, he walked to the window again, and looked to find the place where the fire was burning, but he couldn't hear anyone shouting, thinking that the fire had been extinguished.

After standing for a while, he suddenly felt a sense of restlessness, and he had a premonition that something would happen tonight, I don't know if he was worried that Jiang Hongdie would find out the secret of the golden bean and thus be unfavorable to himself, or that other people in the palace would attack him tonight and strangle his possible threat in the cradle.

The feeling of being slaughtered and not being able to fully control one's own destiny is unsettling, and the desire for power in my heart has never been greater.

"No matter what world you are in, your own destiny should be in your own hands!"

Jiang Zhong secretly determined, but the expression on his face slowly calmed down.

"There are Assassins, there are Assassins, there are Assassins!"

A series of shouts suddenly came from a distance, and Jiang Zhong thought to himself, "What assassin is so bold that he dares to break into the palace at night?"

As soon as he thought of this, the golden bean in his body trembled again, and then Jiang Zhong rolled to the left almost instinctively, and then an indifferent cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the candlelight in the room was collectively extinguished.

Sure enough, there were assassins!

Jiang Zhong didn't have time to look at the assassin's appearance, he rolled on the spot again, and then shouted loudly: "Who is coming!"

This roar that exerted all his strength not only startled the assassin for a moment, but even Jiang Zhong himself did not expect it to be so powerful.

Jiang Zhong roared like this, in addition to delaying the assassin's actions, he also wanted to alarm the palace guards and even the Heavenly Guards.

However, this Spring and Autumn Pavilion is located in a remote area, not a place for the Praetorian Guards to patrol, and the status of his prince is low, and there will be no secret protection from the Heavenly Guards.

The assassin paused slightly, turned around and stabbed Jiang Zhong again, Jiang Zhong grabbed something and threw it at the assassin violently, but the effect was no different from the mantis arm as a car, seeing that the deadly dagger was about to stab himself, there was no way to hide, he closed his eyes and unconsciously opened his mouth to shout "Du", his body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, the assassin saw the white light "ah" and screamed, the dagger fell to the ground, and covered his eyes with both hands.

The power of the moonlight essence condensed from the moonlight essence was by no means something that such a not-so-in-stream assassin could resist, but Jiang Zhong seemed to have exhausted his strength and fainted weakly because of the release of this white light, but he didn't hear the assassin's scream "my eyes".

......

The moonlight is shining and the cool breeze is slow.

When Jiang Zhong woke up, he found that he was actually lying on the roof, the night breeze was blowing, he felt a chill on his body, the voice in his ears changed from vague to clear, and he heard someone shouting: "Don't hurt Prince Zhong!"

Jiang Zhong frowned slightly, struggled to sit up, and saw a burly man in black standing on his left, wearing a black mask, and a long-dressed man in white standing with his back to him not far in front of him.

Opposite the man in white, there were seven more Xuanjia people standing in a staggered manner, which seemed to be disorderly at first glance, but those who knew a little about Qimen gossip would know that the positions of these seven people secretly fit in a certain formation, which could lock the people in white in the formation.

These seven Xuanjia people are the Tianyi Holy Guards who were personally trained by Jiang Guo's national teacher Zhuge Xingchen, and the formation they laid at this time is the Tianyi Array, and the so-called Tianyi is naturally the meaning of "seamless".

"I have long heard that it is not trivial that there is a heavenly guard in King Jiang's palace, and I have never had the opportunity to see it, but today I happened to receive it together. The man in white said calmly, then tilted his head slightly and said to the man in black, "Take him away." ”

"Leave Prince Zhong, Rao Er will not die!"

Jiang Zhong noticed that there were nearly a hundred palace guards standing under the house, dozens of strong bows were facing the white-clothed and black-clothed people, just because of the rat trap, he didn't release the arrows for a long time, and the appearance of the leader of the Praetorian Guards raising his head and shouting made Jiang Zhong have the illusion of watching a police movie: "Release the hostages, you have been surrounded!"

The man in black stood still, and the man in white said, "They can't keep me, go." ”

The man in black no longer hesitated, his body moved, he grabbed Jiang Zhong and left, and the leader below hurriedly shouted, "Let go of Prince Zhong!" and then led the Praetorian Guards to chase after him.

The moment Jiang Zhong was taken away by the man in black, he just saw the Tianyi array start to start, and the two holy guards standing on both sides suddenly attacked, and they all pulled out their scimitars, striking the man in white left and right, and the man in white let out an "oh" and did not retreat, but advanced, and floated into the formation.

Although the man in black took Jiang Zhong with him, the speed of running on the roof was still not slow, Jiang Zhong only felt the wind whirring in his ears, and his eyes were stimulated by the wind, and he couldn't face it.

I don't know how many palace roofs I crossed, and seeing that the city wall was in front of me, the man in black suddenly stopped, turned his head sideways and asked Jiang Zhong, "Can you stand?"

Jiang Zhong woke up and turned around, having no clue about what was happening in front of him, at this time, he heard the man in black ask him, and was about to answer, but he saw a girl in red standing on the roof in the northwest, the corners of her clothes moving with the wind, and under the bright moon, it was like a fairy descending.

It was the ninth princess Jiang Hongdie.

"Ninth Princess!" Jiang Zhong shouted.

"Seventh Brother is okay?" Jiang Hongdie asked with concern.

Jiang Zhong smiled, really not knowing how to answer.

Jiang Hongdie didn't ask anymore, looked at the man in black, and said, "Is this palace a place where you can come and go?"

The man in black snorted coldly, and his mountain-like body suddenly rushed towards Jiang Hongdie, blasting out a mountain-opening punch.

Jiang Hongdie's pair of slender jade hands swayed relatively lightly, and the brilliance gradually released between the palms, and when the man in black rushed forward, his hands were like a goddess scattering flowers and sent forward, and the brilliance between the palms was shattered, turning into a little spot of light, like fireflies, and the fist of the man in black was all melted away by these countless fireflies.

This was the first time Jiang Zhong had seen Jiang Hongdie use his methods, and he thought that it was really extraordinary.

The man in black was broken with a punch, and he was not discouraged, he turned around a little, and the second punch was then attacked, Jiang Hongdie was about to concentrate on the move, but found that the man in black's fist turned around, his body shook, and he slipped away from his side, and the second punch of the man in black was actually a false move, the purpose was just to get rid of himself.

Jiang Hongdie sneered, didn't chase after her, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Zhong's arm and said, "Seventh brother, take you to a place." ”

Jiang Hongdie took Jiang Zhong over the city wall, and galloped all the way to the wind, and soon came to the riverside, Jiang Zhongda was born until now, and has never been out of the palace, so naturally he didn't know what place this was, and he was just about to ask, and heard Jiang Hongdie say: "This river is the Shangdu Canal, does the seventh brother know where the Shangdu Canal flows?"

Jiang Zhong shook his head.

Jiang Hongdie smiled slightly and said, "Flowing to the Anlu Grand Canal, Seventh Brother knows the Anlu Canal, right?"

"During the time of the first emperor, the Anlu Grand Canal, which took three years to open, ran through Jiangliang and Liang, which was world-famous, and I had heard of it. ”

Jiang Hongdie said "um" and said, "I chose this place as the place where the seventh brother returns, the seventh brother shouldn't blame me, right?"

Jiang Zhong was slightly stunned, then came to his senses, and asked knowingly, "Why did the Ninth Princess say this?"

Jiang Hongdie sighed lightly, then looked up at the sky, pointed to the stars, and said, "Seventh brother, do you know that in fact, everyone in this world corresponds to a star in the sky?"

Jiang Zhong looked up at the stars and did not answer Jiang Hongdie's question.

Jiang Hongdie continued: "Therefore, everyone's astrology is their destiny, no exception, father, mother, teacher, prince's brother, second brother, all like this, but the seventh brother ......" Jiang Hongdie turned her head to look at Jiang Zhong, her eyes were earnest, and she was reluctant, and said: "Only you, without that star, I have looked at the starry sky with my master for so many years, but I have never found your star." ”

"Maybe it's because my star is so small or dim that it's hard to notice. ”

Jiang Hongdie shook her head and said: "I also asked the master so, but the master said that one person and one star is the destiny of heaven, and there is a fixed number, and it will not be missed because it is small or dark." ”

"Then why isn't there my lifestar?"

"Because Brother Seven, you...... This is not of this world. ”

Jiang Zhong laughed and said in his heart: "You are looking for these reasons to get rid of me, but you are doing it crookedly." ”

Seeing Jiang Zhong's expression, Jiang Hongdie's face disappeared with shame, and said: "There is a saying in the ancient books of Xingchen Pavilion, 'There is a saying in the ancient books of Xingchen Pavilion, 'There is no phase of life, and disaster will fall from the sky', and the seventh brother responded to this statement. ”

Jiang Zhong smiled: "That means that I am actually a disaster star, and now because I have descended on the earth, I can't find it in the sky?"

Jiang Hongdie was silent.

Jiang Zhong asked again: "So the man in black is here to save me, and the Ninth Princess, are you the assassin who is going to kill me?"

Jiang Hongdie said a "yes".

Jiang Zhong laughed and said, "What did the Ninth Princess decide to do with me?

Jiang Hongdie was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "I will first disperse your soul of Seventh Brother, and then bury you in this river." ”

Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "Then let's do it." ”

Jiang Hongdie said: "Seventh brother, you were born in the royal family with such a status, and you will suffer more than happiness after you come, and I will send you away now, which is also to give you relief." ”

Jiang Zhongxin said: "It's really hypocritical, and it doesn't seem more upright to say that I might threaten your two elder brothers?"

Jiang Zhong smiled without saying a word, strode towards the river, and as soon as he walked to the riverside, he suddenly felt a ruthless, tricky, and sharp force hit his heart, and then heard Jiang Hongdie say: "Seventh brother, Hongdie can't live with you, and will leave you with a whole corpse." ”

Poof!

Distraught, Jiang Zhong fell into the river.
