Chapter 135: Snow and Sword and Frost in Cangshan (4)
The Star Picking Tower was about two or three miles southeast of the palace, and at such a distance, under the cover of the wind and snow, no one noticed the slightest movement in the distance. The white sè precious fur on the star-picking tower shook slightly, and the muzzle of the gun made a loud noise accompanied by fireworks, but the speed of the sound was much slower than the speed of the bullet.
At least at this moment, the head of the imperial palace, the people in front of the corner tower, were still quietly looking at the strong men waiting to die in the snow in front of the palace, and the Qingjun jīng rui all around, without noticing that the scythe of the god of death had cut through the air, and approached their emperor in a way that people in this world could not imagine at all.
From the Star Picking Tower to the top of the Imperial City, the fluctuation representing death would last for about a second or more, enough for a person to blink a few times. Then he had been calmly squinting at the emperor under the city, and this time he did not notice the occasional flash of light in the wind and snow two or three miles away.
Therefore, the time left for this great master to react has become very little, and when he sensed that a deadly aura suddenly appeared in the heavens and the earth, and even he couldn't resist the breath, he only had time to blink, his face turned pale, the light in his eyes condensed and dispersed, and his body quickly retreated like a cloud of smoke!
His Majesty the Emperor was injured, and his true qi was consumed a lot, but at this moment of life and death, he actually burst out with energy that was impossible for human beings to have, and disappeared into the distance in an instant, slamming into the corner tower like a wandering spirit!
............ A muffled sound only sounded at this time, and the bullet that rotated at high speed and had no chance to somersault grazed the shoulder of the bright yellow figure, and blasted a big hole of about one foot square inch in the hard palace wall, I don't know how deep!
At this moment, the hard gravel of the green brick detached from the main body and sprayed shè outward in the form of shè lines, like a flower blooming.
Except for His Majesty the Emperor, who retreated like a wisp of smoke, no one in the city and under the city reacted, and no one even noticed that something was wrong, because at that moment, the fierce flowers blooming on the blue brick wall were still splashing on the way, and the sharp stone chips seemed to remain static in the air, mixing with the surrounding snowflakes and stabbing in one place!
His Majesty the Emperor dodged this shot? Regardless of the psychological reasons of the assassin in the snow on the roof of the Star-Picking Tower, he paused for a moment at the moment of gently pulling his finger, thus letting the seemingly killer shot miss, but then the second shot came, with the first shot thundering.
The sound of the first shot was about to reach the square in front of the palace, and the second shot had already arrived, like a tofu smashing, and a fist-sized hole was broken in the wooden door of the corner tower, and shè entered the dark and quiet corner tower.
There is no such thing as a killer gun, especially when the target is an unfathomable Grand Master. The assassin in the snow on the roof of the Star Picking Tower, due to the strict ban in Kyoto today, the sniper location he chose was somewhat remote, he could clearly calculate the time it would take for the bullet to fly in the air, he had never expected such a shot to kill the emperor, but he knew that the emperor would tremble in order to avoid this shot, and he would not spare half a penny, and that kind of physical and psychological deterrent would definitely make the emperor use his whole body ability.
That is the speed, the assassin on the top of the star-picking tower clearly calculated the direction of the emperor's dodge, the speed of dodging, the instantaneous displacement, the fingers were unusually steady and steady, and he shot out towards the position where the emperor's majesty was retreating and exhausted, and he put all his hope on this second shot!
Being able to calculate so much in such a short period of time, and to come to a positive conclusion about the Emperor's choice, it was clear that the Assassin knew the Emperor very well, and even more so about the Emperor's ...... That is, the understanding and jǐng fear of the box known to the world.
The most important thing is that the assassin of the Star Picking Tower can actually know the speed that a great grandmaster can perform at the moment of life and death, so that he can accurately calculate the landing point of the emperor's final fall, and it is difficult to drift again again!
This cannot be calculated, nor can it be verified, because the people in the world, except for those great grandmasters, no one can really push the great grandmaster to a dead end, let alone understand the speed of the great grandmaster.
Unless...... There was once a Grand Master who had personally helped the Assassin on the top of the Starry Tower, and had personally trained countless times!
............ In the blink of an eye, even half of the time was not completed, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly occupied his whole body with fear from the calm and cold love before, and countless domineering true qi in his body exploded in this instant, his face was pale, his pupils were slightly dilated, and he floated with all his strength, disappeared from the spot in an instant, and crashed into the corner tower that had been extremely quiet.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who had never been extremely confident and powerful in this life, and had never known what fear was, finally felt a trace of fear, a trace of fear of death. Because although he couldn't see what the breath that moved him was incomparably moved, he knew that the box he feared the most...... Finally appeared.
A muffled explosion resounded through the head of the palace, and the second shot pierced through the wooden door of the corner tower, along a straight invisible line, the murderous bullet, towards the chest of the emperor who trembled all over his body, and the wolf bèi had just escaped to the back of the quiet room of the corner tower!
This shot is so amazing that it counts any thoughts and actions of the emperor. The domineering true qi in the emperor's body has exploded into an invisible air flow at the head of the palace, and at this time, there is a void in the body, where can he make a dodging action like a fairy ghost again in an instant. What's even more terrifying is that the second shot came in succession, and there seemed to be no interval in between, and when the emperor sensed the soul-devouring aura that continued like a wave, he was unable to react at all.
However, the assassins on the Star Picking Tower counted all kinds of things, but they couldn't count the corner tower of the imperial city, and the secluded room behind His Majesty the Emperor was actually not secluded, there were many, many people standing inside, a dozen people who were silent, who didn't even seem to be breathing, wearing armor like ghosts, and holding thick steel shields.
These people seem to have stood in this secluded corner tower for countless years, never changing their posture, sealing the possibility of shè to this corner tower room in all directions. During the rebellion in Kyoto three years ago, there was a bloody slaughter in the city and under the city, but neither Fan Xian nor the eldest prince found anything unusual in this room, where were these shield-wielding ghosts covered in armor at that time?
Could it be that these shield-bearers, who have stood indifferently for countless years, are the last arrangements laid out by His Majesty the Emperor in order to soothe the fear in his heart? These shield-bearers, who have stood for countless years, have the only mission in this life to block the deadly bullets that came out of that box for His Majesty?
But how could these jīng steel shields from the inner library be able to block the most powerful gunpowder killing weapon in the world? This is the last dragon slaying knife left by the mistress of the inner library in this world, the last sword of the Son of Heaven, how can she resist the other legacies she left behind?
No one could see what happened at that moment, but the shield bearer standing on the left hand side of the emperor trembled, the dust covering the steel shield that he held tightly with both hands trembled, and then the emperor behind the shield trembled.
The shield-bearer fell with a thud, and a hole appeared in the steel shield.
Just as the hammer of heavenly punishment was sent down from heaven, His Majesty the Emperor was as if he had been struck by this sledgehammer, and he suddenly retreated, smashing the back wall of the corner tower room, and came out through the wall, and was very desolate and knocked down on the cold snow!
Blood flowed out of the emperor's left chest, and as soon as he stood in the Taiji Hall before, the wounds on his body were also re-torn open by the violent movements at this time, the sword that Wang Shisanlang cut on his right chest, and the wound cut by Fan Xian's fingertip sword qi on his neck, all began to bleed again, turning this powerful king into a poor bloody man.
The emperor was lying on the snow, breathing rapidly, his dark pupils flickering and dilating, his left chest was slightly sunken, a pool of blood, and he couldn't see the real wound clearly. The snow was under his head, and he stared at the cold, tear-dripping sky, his two hands outside his sleeves clasping tightly to keep himself from falling into the darkness.
Endless fear and anger poured into his mind, and the box, the box finally appeared. In this world, His Majesty the Emperor always thought that he was the one who knew the box best, even better than Chen Pingping, because Xiao Yezi used this box to quietly kill the two princes and send the Chengwang Mansion to the dragon chair.
No one is not afraid of the existence of such a thing, but the prince or prince of Cheng was not afraid, because this box belonged to her, and it belonged to her. But...... But...... After the incident in the Taiping Courtyard, the emperor began to be afraid, every rì every night he was afraid, he was afraid that he didn't know when the box would appear, and from where a spark would suddenly bloom, it would be like a divine hand hanging in the air, taking his own life and avenging his master.
Because of this fear, since the incident of the Taiping Palace, His Majesty the Emperor has rarely left the palace, no, as Fan Xian heard when he first entered Kyoto, the emperor has not been out of the palace much since then!
Although he had never seen the box, he knew the terrifying effect of the box, and he hid like a turtle in the high imperial city, surrounded by palace walls, and there was no building in Kyoto that could cross these walls.
His Majesty's subjects all thought that His Majesty was diligent in political affairs, so he would always lock up in the palace, who knew that he was afraid?
This situation was maintained until the fourth year of Qingli, when the child from Shanzhou finally entered Beijing, and the fifth child seemed to have really forgotten a lot of things, and no one connected himself with the incident in the Taiping Courtyard, and His Majesty the Emperor gradually relaxed a little, and occasionally went out of the palace in civilian clothes. However, even so, he still didn't dare to leave Kyoto, because in those long Qingguo fields, who knows if there will be a fire of revenge hidden in the darkness waiting for him?
Speaking of which, what a sad life this is, the emperor has a vast land, hundreds of millions of subjects, but he can't see it, he can't feel it, he seems to have a qiē in the second half of his life, but in fact, he is just a prisoner imprisoned in the palace by himself.
............ The emperor is not afraid of death, he is only afraid that he will not see his grand cause become real before he dies. There are not many people or things in this world who can kill him, except for the blind man and the box, so when Chen Pingping returned from Dazhou with an unusually indifferent and cold blood, His Majesty the Emperor also felt a trace of coolness in addition to being angry.
Those soldiers covered in dust and holding shields were hidden in the corner tower of the imperial city, and when the emperor squinted his eyes slightly, and watched the old dog in the autumn rain field die, those people waited silently behind him, but that day, the box did not appear.
Today, however, the box appeared, and it appeared so suddenly. His Majesty the Emperor was a little sad to find that he still underestimated the horror of the box, at least the ability of the person who was using the box today, and did not expect that the breath of death could accurately find his position under the protection of the corner tower, lightly pierce the jīng steel shield, and finally ruthlessly shè on his body.
The white snow was stained red by the blood flowing from the emperor's body, and at this time the people on the corner tower finally reacted, although they still didn't know what was happening, but at least they knew that things had changed!
Eunuch Yao crawled to the side of His Majesty the Emperor with a frightened face, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't say a word, trembling all over, his palm subconsciously pulled the wound on His Majesty's chest and abdomen, pulled out some broken metal pieces, and pulled out some flesh and blood, but he still couldn't find where the murder weapon was.
The emperor's body rose and fell with his rapid breathing, and he looked at Eunuch Yao beside him with a somewhat distracted gaze: "I ...... Die...... Nope!"
These words, His Majesty the Emperor gritted his teeth and said them, but after being hit hard, no matter how ruthless the words were, they seemed a little weak. His Majesty the Emperor's gaze crossed Eunuch Yao's face, still staring fiercely at the snowflakes falling from the sky, howling bitterly in his heart, I am ordered by the heavens, who can kill me!
The assassin on the top of the star-picking tower counted a qiē, but after all, he didn't calculate how strong the body of the great grandmaster of the emperor was, more precisely, he didn't calculate that the emperor who looked down on the world would be afraid of death, and he would actually put a heart guard on the atrium in the dragon robe!
The Soul Eater line blasted out by the heavy sniper crossed the distance of the Kyoto sky, and pierced through the steel shield, and finally although it did not deviate, it accurately hit the chest of the emperor's majesty, but it was already the end of the crossbow, and it only shattered a large piece of the emperor's sternum, but it did not tear a piece of flesh and blood from the root bone, and immediately and completely destroyed the life of this king.
Previously, in the abandoned garden, when Fan Xian took out the steel plate on his chest, the emperor reprimanded him sarcastically, small means can't do big things, but who would have thought that the emperor Xià finally relied on this small means to escape with his life.
But for those who achieve great things, caution, no matter how extreme caution is necessary, and it is necessary to cherish life, no matter how embarrassing and boring it is. From this point of view, the emperor and Fan Xian's father and son are actually two shameless people who are really very similar in the world.
"Star Picking Tower. The emperor's slightly scattered gaze stared at the gray sky, he knew that the person who used the box today was definitely not the fifth old, because if the person who came was the fifth old, he was afraid that he would have already entered the palace at this time, he gasped and said, "Kill them all." ”
............ His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly assassinated, unconscious, life and death were unknown, this thunderous change, all the courtiers and generals in the imperial city felt numb, and no one knew what to do next. The strong men who were besieged by countless people up and down the imperial city still did not get out of trouble, as long as this second wave of arrow rain came out again, I was afraid that everyone would die, including Fan Xian, who was still unconscious.
The imperial doctors were rushing over from the Imperial Hospital, and Gong Dian had already rushed to the side of the Emperor Xià with a miserable face, took out the wound medicine he was carrying, and tried to stop the bleeding for His Majesty, but the effect did not seem to be very good.
However, Eunuch Yao still remembered His Majesty's last confession before he fell into a coma, he trembled, walked around the corner tower, cautiously approached the side of the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and read out His Majesty's final will to kill all of them in a sand voice.
Eunuch Yao shrunk on the wall of the palace, looking extremely funny, but he was really afraid, because he knew how powerful His Majesty was, but such a powerful king was actually seriously injured by an invisible assassin, how could he not be afraid, he was even worried that he would be torn into a piece of flesh and blood by the invisible lines in the air in the next moment.
The scene that happened next made Eunuch Yao's pupils shrink suddenly, and the whole person fell to the ground, once again confirming his fear!
............ With a muffled sound, the deputy commander of the forbidden army who was indifferently standing at the head of the palace was about to wave the flag and give an order, so that the soldiers above and below the city would rain arrows again, but his shoulders only moved, and his whole head was suddenly gone!
Yes, just like a ghost story in broad daylight, the head of the deputy commander of the forbidden army suddenly exploded in its entirety, like a ripe watermelon, and like a skin filled with water, which broke for no reason, and turned into a piece of blood and white pulp on the city wall, sprinkled all over the sky...... What's even more terrifying is that after the head of the deputy commander of the forbidden army exploded, it seemed that the body didn't even know the fact that the head had turned into a brain, and his right arm was still raised, and then he put it down, looking like a puppet with a broken thread, and the whole person collapsed!
There was an exclamation and screaming above the palace city, such a terrifying scene happened in front of countless officers and soldiers, how could they not be frightened, not afraid, all the people began to tremble, desperately open their eyes, on the imperial city, under the city, in the ranks of their companions, and even in the sky where there was nothing but snowflakes!
Of course, they couldn't find anything, they didn't know what was going on, only that the head of the deputy commander had suddenly exploded!
The search for nothing gradually turned into fear, how could this kind of invisible assassin, this kind of killing that could not be resisted at all, how could mortals be able to resist it?
Endless panic began to spread rapidly across the head of the palace, all the soldiers searched helplessly, some of them were about to collapse under the pressure of silence, and the bows and arrows aimed at the people below the palace city were also subconsciously loosened.
On the battlefield, in the counterinsurgency, the soldiers of Qingguo do not know how many strange and miserable deaths they have seen, but this kind of god-like blow like today's is really making secular people have to think in those strange directions.
Another general roared bravely a few times, trying to calm the feelings of the subordinates of the forbidden army, and at the same time develop the order to attack below, but his roar only lasted a few times and then stopped abruptly, because the killing intent that terrified all the officers and soldiers in the city came again, and a huge hole was blasted out of the general's chest and abdomen, and his stomach and intestines became a mess of rotten blood, and he didn't snort and fell down.
At this point, this atmosphere of panic could no longer be suppressed, and the imperial city was in chaos.
............ The changes in the head of the imperial city have naturally spread to the city, but the soldiers who were ordered to seal all directions did not know what was going on, and the archers who aimed at the people waiting to die in the snow felt that their hands were almost sore, but they still did not get the order to release the arrows. Those generals frowned even more, very worried about what was going on on the imperial city wall, how could it be like that.
If it is an ordinary leader of the army, if the palace is just a simple battlefield, then no one will be stupid to wait for His Majesty's will before sending arrows. However, today is different after all, where ten thousand arrows go, and in the circle of people is Lord Xiao Fan.
What does it mean to kill Fan Xian, everyone knows it, the grievances and hatreds between Xiao Fan and His Majesty, everyone also knows very well, if there is no clear will of His Majesty, no one dares to send arrows so rashly, but at this time, the generals under the city do not know that the emperor is seriously injured, fell into a coma, and does not know whether he is alive or dead.
This strange silence did not last long, the general outside, in the face of the tense situation, must have their own reaction, even if it is just outside the palace, the generals of the Qing army also have their own initiative, General Shi Fei, who was hidden behind the archers, frowned and stared at the middle of the snow, and found that those besieged assassins seemed to have noticed the changes on the palace wall, and began to have the courage and idea to break through.
But after all, Shi Fei was a powerful person who could subdue Yan Xiaoyi's Beida Camp alone, and he didn't know where it came from, so that he did not directly issue the military order to attack, but through the deputy general beside him, on the one hand, it was the unknown fear that made him make this choice, on the other hand, Shi Fei was like all the civil and military generals in Qingguo, forever and ever, and he didn't want Fan Xian to die directly in his own hands.
This idea directly saved Shi Fei's life, because the deputy general beside him just raised the order flag in his hand and fell directly to the ground.
It wasn't that he didn't ride a steady horse, and it wasn't for any other reason, because with the lieutenant's body, the horse under him also fell into the snow, and countless blood quickly stained the white snow.
Shi Fei's pupils shrank, and he looked at the flesh and blood of the deputy general beside him with a slight white face, knowing that if he had given the order before, then he would have died, who could block this kind of formless and unpredictable extraterrestrial blow!
Shi Fei also knew what the reason for the change on the wall of the palace was, but it was just ...... Is 陛xià still alive?
............ After a slight noise in the imperial city, it returned to the silence of the silence, in the deathly quiet, the military discipline of the Qing army was indeed the first in the world, but under the threat of the terrifying killing of the heavenly blow, who dared to do it? The faces of all the sergeants were a little pale or even blue, they were waiting for His Majesty's will, but His Majesty never appeared in the imperial city again.
Another gunshot pierced the calm of the square in front of the palace, and when an ascetic in a hat tried to lead the silent sergeants with his bravery, he was accurately knocked down in the snow, without even a trace of convulsions, and directly turned into a dead corpse.
Deathly silence.
Another gunshot rang out.
There was another deathly silence.
Another gunshot rang out.
Four more bodies were found in the snow, and the gunfire fell silent, as if it would never be heard again. Everyone up and down the imperial city understood that this supreme assassin who could complete a blow from outside the sky was everyone who relied on the Qingguo Imperial Court, and he should not try to make any moves, but anyone who dared to move on this vast white snow was the target of his killing.
There was a sound, one person died, and a bloody corpse lay in the snow, there was never an accident, this cold and silent announcement froze everyone's hearts.
This is a man challenging a country.
............ I don't know how long the deathly silence lasted, the horses began to kick their hooves a little uneasily, splashing a little snow, and the strong men who were surrounded in the snow didn't seem to want to touch the tense nerves of the powerful Qing army, so they didn't choose to forcibly break through at this moment.
No one knows what happened to the muffled sound of the snowy sky that swept through Kyoto, and how those people died.
Ye Chong, who was fully armored, sat on his horse indifferently, and the jīng sharp cavalry he led was enough to ensure that two of them rushed back and forth to kill, so he killed these strong men in the snow, but he did not move. Although with his Jiupin strength, he could hear the muffled noises coming from behind him, he vaguely felt that the assassin who struck from outside the sky could not cover the whole field, or the problem of arrows and dead ends, if the cavalry rushed over at this time, the assassin could not stop him.
But Ye Chong just sat on the horse silently and steadily, at this time His Majesty's life and death were unknown, and he was the one with the highest status in the field, he didn't say a word, just like his image in the Qingguo government and the opposition for so many years, he never showed his dew, but no one dared to despise him.
The reason why Ye Chong didn't move was very simple, not because His Majesty didn't make an order, but because he knew what those things that took people's lives, like stabbing from the sky, and what those muffled sounds were.
It's the box, the box has finally reappeared, Ye Chong lowered his eyes slightly, ignoring the burning eyes of the generals around him, as if he was asleep, in fact, his heart had already stirred up turbulent waves.
When the Taiping Courtyard incident broke out, he was transferred by the emperor to Dingzhou as a rear army, and it was obvious that the emperor did not believe in Ye Chong's position between himself and Ye Qingmei. I still remember that back then, when Ye Qingmei first entered Kyoto, he had a fight with Ye Chong, who was still young at the time, Ye Chong knew those people too well, although he never expressed any opinions, but it didn't mean that he didn't know about the box, didn't know about the Taiping Courtyard, and why Chen Pingping betrayed His Majesty.
Ye Chong's heart passed through many, many pictures, many, many people back then, he also felt a little tired, his gaze finally became clear, and fell on the young man in the snow, and he remembered the young man's mother, the young girl who carried the box and refused to check himself at the city gate.
In this matter, Ye Zhong felt that His Majesty was wrong, so he was silent, and he would never move until he had a will.
............ How long can the deathly silence last? How long will it take for this wind and snow to stop? A young man in a pale yellow shirt walked up to the wall of the palace step by step, stood on the edge of the city wall, and calmly looked at Fan Xian in the snow under the city.
At this time, the forbidden army at the head of the city was already a little chaotic, and most of the people subconsciously lowered their heads, avoiding the kind of death harvest that might come from the sky, so this young man in a light yellow shirt stood at the city wall, and he looked so tall and brave.
"According to Qinglu, His Majesty is in a coma and can't see things, should I automatically become a prisoner?" asked the two fists in the sleeves of the third prince, Li Chengping, clenched tightly.
Eunuch Yao, who was looking around him, replied in a trembling voice: "But His Majesty has just fallen into a coma, and he has not yet exceeded the period of seven rì. ”
"Can you wait for this situation now? Do you want to watch my famous generals and commanders in Daqing all be chopped to death by God!" Li Chengping turned his head and looked at Eunuch Yao fiercely.
Eunuch Yao felt a chill in his heart and said: "Your Highness, this is a major matter of the country, and the slave should not be too talkative, but if His Majesty wakes up, he is only afraid of ......."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, evacuate everyone. The coldness in Li Chengping's eyes became stronger and stronger, and the chill in Eunuch Yao's heart became stronger and stronger, over the years, although the third prince seemed to have become a gentle prince under Fan Xian's education, but Eunuch Yao knew what kind of vicious corner this young prince was back then, once he really forced the other party to be ruthless, remember this big grudge, how will he live in the future?
What's more, the country of Qingguo will always be passed on to the three highnesses in the future, if His Majesty really dies this time, I am afraid that the three highnesses will have to sit on the dragon chair.
"When they get out of the square, they will chase after them, and they can always give an explanation to their father, so what's the point of dying here?" Li Chengping squinted slightly, looking at his brother in the snow, sir, without revealing any feelings that should not be revealed.
............ In the snow on the roof of the Star-Picking Tower, the metal pipes under the pure white fur fur made loud noises, tearing the air and harvesting life in the distant palace. These sounds were very loud, although the reaction force was reduced a lot, but the snow on the roof of the Star-Picking Building was still shaking and slipping, and these sounds were transmitted far away, disturbing the people in the surrounding streets and houses.
The Kyoto Prefecture officials have already discovered the strangeness of this place, but the Star Picking Tower is a forbidden place for the imperial court, and although it has been abandoned for many years, no one can enter and check it out without procedures. In addition, it is still the first few days, and the New Year Festival is still going on, and these officials thought to themselves that maybe it was someone who put chūn thunder inside, but the voice of this chūn thunder seemed to be louder.
After all, the reaction speed of the inner court was faster, and the emperor said the name of the Star Picking Tower very calmly before he fell into a coma, and the masters of the inner court sneaked out of the palace, followed the imperial river on the left side of the palace, went straight through the mountains and forests, and came to the east city of Kyoto at the fastest speed.
Two streets away, and also heard a loud noise from the Star Picking Tower, these inner court masters shook their heads, forcibly suppressed the tension in their hearts, and pounced in four directions, they believed that since the terrible assassin was still on the Star Picking Tower at this time, he would definitely not be able to escape before his people were surrounded.
However, when the master of the inner court bravely rushed into the garden of the Star Picking Tower, until he finally found the roof, he still did not find anyone, but there was an obvious mark in the thick white snow on the roof, except for this trace, there was nothing, as if no one had ever come, and the silence made people feel empty.
The snowflakes were still falling, and the master of the inner court carefully checked the traces left in the snow on the roof, but found that the terrifying assassin had not left any clues, although those traces were obvious, but they had been cleaned up, and even the figure of the person could not be seen.
An inner court guard was guarding an alley outside the Star Picking Tower, his face was slightly pale, and he was looking at the few pedestrians with great timidity, when suddenly, he saw a small man walking over, and his heart clicked.
This little guy is a teenager, and what makes this inner court guard suspicious is that this person's body is wrapped in a thick layer of fur, although the fur looks very tattered and is not worth a few dollars, but the green cloth inside is really wrapped, but the knee is turned over, revealing the other side of the fur.
White as snow, this is an extremely precious fur, who can afford such a precious thing?
The inner court guard's eyes shrank, and he stopped in front of this little guy for the first time, so he called his companion, but unexpectedly felt a flower in front of him, and then felt a numbness in his jaw. The master of the inner court leaned against the wall of the alley and died, killing instantly, but his body was extremely stiff and did not fall to the ground.
With a touch of his fingertips, he took out the thin needle that was pierced under the man's jaw, wrapped the thick fur on his body, seemed to be a little cold, walked out of the alley, and disappeared in the wind and snow of Kyoto in an instant.
............ Kyoto is now snowy and moving, but not many people know what happened in front of the Imperial Palace, which was closed under martial law. The imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory had already been forcibly escorted back to their respective mansions at night, and the adults of those ministries were also notified by the Supervision Yuan and forcibly stayed in the mansion, even the scholars of Hu University could not get close to the imperial city.
It didn't take long for this suppressed tension and fluctuation to spread to the street in the southern part of Kyoto, where there were many powerful families living on it, and everyone was looking at only one house with suspicion, and that was the Fan Mansion.
Fan Fu is now rì as usual, no panic, no sadness, no nervousness, boiling water that should be boiled, cooking what should be cooked. The results of Fan Xian's negotiations with His Majesty were obviously not reflected in the mansion, and Lin Wan'er, the housewife, did not take the family with her, taking advantage of this short period of time, with the tacit consent of the emperor's majesty, to leave Beijing and return to Shanzhou. She still stayed in the house quietly and a little terriblely, sitting in the flower hall, waiting for the man to come back, if he couldn't come back, then what was the point of leaving Kyoto by herself?
"Why hasn't Ruoruo gotten up yet?" Lin Wan'er smiled gently, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile, she looked at Sisi who was feeding the child and said, "Did you shout?"
As she was talking, Miss Fan, who had only been released from the palace last night, walked slowly from outside the hall, her body was as clean as usual, her eyebrows were as cold as ever, and her shoes were not stained with the slightest snow. She looked at her sister-in-law and smiled, then sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks, her hand holding the chopsticks was so steady, and there was no trembling.
