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 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 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 elite of the Qing army all around, without noticing that the scythe of the god of death had cut through the air, and approached their emperor majesty 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 His Majesty 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 small, very little, when he sensed that a deadly aura suddenly appeared in the heavens and the earth, and even he could not resist the breath, he only had time to blink, his face became 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 critical 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, smashing into the corner tower like a wandering spirit! I don't know how much!

At this moment, the hard gravel of the green bricks broke away from the main body and sprayed outward in the form of rays, as if a flower had bloomed.

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 what was happening, because at that moment, the fierce flowers blooming on the blue brick wall were still splashing, and the sharp stone chips seemed to remain static in the air. Mix with the snowflakes around you and stab in one place!

His Majesty the Emperor dodged the shot? Regardless of the psychological reasons of the assassin in the snow on the roof of the Starpicking Tower, he paused for a moment at the moment of a slight flick of his finger, thus letting the seemingly killer shot miss, but immediately after, the second shot came. With the first shot thunderous came the muffled sound.

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 cut, breaking a fist-sized hole in the wooden door of the corner tower and shooting into the dark and quiet corner tower.

There is no such thing as a killer gun, especially when the target is an unfathomable Grand Master. An assassin in the snow on the roof of the Star Picking Tower. Due to the strict restrictions in Kyoto today, the sniper location chosen was somewhat remote, and he could clearly calculate the time it would take for a bullet to fly in the air, and he had never expected such a shot to kill the emperor, but he knew that the emperor wanted to avoid this shot. You're going to be shivering. Refusing to spare half a penny, that kind of physical and psychological sense of deterrence will definitely make the emperor use all his strength.

That was the speed, and the assassin on the top of the Star Picking Tower clearly calculated the direction of His Majesty's evasion, the speed of evasion, and the instantaneous displacement. The finger is unusually steady and steady. Striking out towards the position where His Majesty the Emperor was retreating, he gave all his hope. In fact, it's all on this second shot!

Being able to calculate so much in such a short period of time, and to draw a positive conclusion about the Emperor's choice, it was clear that the Assassin knew the Emperor's temperament and the Emperor's ...... That is, the understanding and fear of the box as 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 great grandmaster who had personally helped the assassin on the top of the star-picking 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 his previous calm and cold emotions, 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. For although he could not see what the breath that moved him so much was, he knew that he was most afraid of the box...... 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, and along a straight invisible line, the murderous bullet shot towards the chest of His Majesty the Emperor, who was trembling and embarrassed and 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 been standing in this secluded corner tower for countless years. It has never changed its posture, sealing the possibility of shooting at this corner tower room from all directions. During the Kyoto Rebellion three years ago, there was a bloody slaughter in 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 by His Majesty the Emperor in order to soothe the fears in his heart? These shield-bearers, who have stood for countless years, have only one mission in this life to block the deadly bullets fired from that box for His Majesty?

But these stainless steel shields from the inner storehouse. How could it be possible to block the world's most powerful gunpowder killing weapon? This is the last dragon slaying knife left by the mistress of Neku 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 was happening at that moment, but the shield bearer standing on the left hand side of the Emperor trembled, the steel shield that he held tightly with both hands trembled with dust on the ground, and then His Majesty the Emperor behind the shield trembled.

The shield-bearer fell with a thud. A hole appeared in the steel shield.

It was as if the Hammer of Heavenly Punishment had been sent down from heaven, and His Majesty the Emperor was struck by this sledgehammer, and he fell backwards violently, smashing the back wall of the corner tower room, and coming out of the wall, and was very desolate and knocked down on the cold snow!

Blood flowed from the emperor's left chest. 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 had cut on his right chest, and the wound cut by Fan Xian's fingertip sword qi on his neck, all began to bleed again. Turned this mighty king into a poor bloody man.

The emperor lay on the snow. Breathing rapidly, his black pupils flickered and dilated, his left chest sank slightly, a piece of blood, and he couldn't see the real wound clearly. The snow was under his head, and he stared. Look at this cold and tearful sky. The two hands outside the sleeves clasped tightly so that they did not plunge themselves into the darkness.

Fear and anger poured into his mind. The box, the box finally appeared. In this world, His Majesty the Emperor has always thought that he knows the box best, and he knows more than Chen Pingping, because Xiao Yezi used this box to quietly kill the two princes and send the Chengwang Mansion to the dragon chair.

There is no one who is not afraid of the existence of such a thing, but the prince or prince of Cheng at that time 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 day and every night he was afraid, he was afraid that he did not know when the box would appear, and from where a spark would suddenly bloom, like a divine hand hanging in the air, taking his life and avenging his master.

It is precisely because of this fear that His Majesty the Emperor has rarely left the palace since the incident of the Taiping Courtyard, 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 everything 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 came back from Dazhou in an unusually indifferent and cold manner, His Majesty the Emperor felt a trace of coolness in addition to being angry.

Those dusty, shield-wielding sergeants were hidden in the corner tower of the imperial city, when His Majesty the Emperor squinted slightly, and watched the old dog in the autumn rain field die. The men 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 be under the protection of the corner tower. Finding his exact location, he easily pierced through the steel shield and finally shot mercilessly 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 His Majesty's side with a frightened face. His voice was hoarse and he couldn't say a word, his whole body trembled, and his palm subconsciously pulled at the wound on His Majesty's chest and abdomen, pulled out some broken metal pieces, and pulled out some flesh and blood. But they still can't find where the murder weapon is.

The Emperor's body rose and fell with rapid breathing. He looked at Eunuch Yao beside him with some distracted eyes: "I ...... Die...... Nope!"

His Majesty the Emperor gritted his teeth and said these words, 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 in his heart. I am commanded by heaven, who can kill me! I will not die today. God won't let me die!

The assassin on the top of the Star Picking Tower calculated everything, but after all, he didn't calculate how strong His Majesty the Emperor's body was, and more precisely, he didn't calculate that His Majesty the Emperor, who was overlooking the world, would be afraid of death, and would actually put a heart shield on the atrium in the dragon robe!

The Soul Eater line blasted out by the heavy sniper crossed the distance in the Kyoto sky, and pierced the steel shield, and finally although it did not deviate, it accurately hit the chest of His Majesty the Emperor, 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 all the flesh and blood that came into contact with it from the root bones, and immediately and completely destroyed the life of this monarch.

Previously, in the abandoned garden, when Fan Xian took out the steel plate on his chest, the emperor sneered and reprimanded him, small means can't do big things, but who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor 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 stared at the gray sky with a faint gaze, 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 were shocked, and no one knew what to do next. Those 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 shot 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 His Majesty's side with a pale face, took out the wound medicine he had brought with him, and tried to stop the bleeding for His Majesty, but the effect did not seem to be very good.

However, Eunuch Yao still firmly remembered His Majesty's last confession before he fell into a coma, he trembled, bypassed 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 invisible in the air in the next moment. Torn into a piece of flesh.

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! The deputy commander of the forbidden army 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 suddenly disappeared!

Yes, like ghost stories 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, which was sprinkled all over the sky......

What's even more terrifying. 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 a scream of astonishment 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 of them began to tremble, desperately open their eyes. On the Imperial City. Under the city, in the ranks of his companions, and even in the sky where there is nothing but snowflakes, desperately searching!

Of course, they couldn't find anything, they didn't know what was going on, only that the head of the deputy commander suddenly exploded! Who would have thought that the Assassins were miles away. They shouted in vain and searched angrily.

The search is unfounded. Gradually turned into fear, this kind of assassin who is completely invisible, this kind of killing that cannot be resisted at all, how can mortals be able to resist?

Endless panic began to spread rapidly over the head of the palace dungeon, 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 shapes they have seen, and they died tragically, 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 emotions of the subordinates of the forbidden army, and at the same time give 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 the general's chest and abdomen were blasted out of a huge gap, and his stomach and intestines turned into 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 army leader to fight, if today's 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 it means to kill Fan Xian, everyone knows it, the grievances and hatreds between Lord Xiao Fan and His Majesty, everyone also knows it 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 His Majesty 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 was able to subdue Yan Xiaoyi's subordinate Beida Battalion 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 is like all the civil and military generals in Qingguo, forever and ever, and he doesn'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. With a pale face, he looked at the flesh and blood of the deputy general beside him, knowing that if he had given the order before, then he would have died, who could block this invisible and unpredictable blow from the sky!

Shi Fei also knew what the reason for the change on the wall of the palace was, but it was just ...... Is Your Majesty still alive?

There was a slight uproar up and down the Imperial City. Then he returned to the silence of the quiet, in the deathly quiet, the military discipline of the Qing army was indeed the best in the world, but under the threat of a terrifying blow from outside the sky, who would dare to do it? All the sergeants' faces were a little pale or even blue, and they were waiting for His Majesty's will. His Majesty, however, never appeared in the Imperial City again. Another shot pierced the calm of the square in front of the palace, and an ascetic in a hat was accurately knocked out of the snow as he tried to use his bravery to lead the silent sergeants into the charge. Not even a hint of twitching. 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 in the Imperial City understood that this supreme assassin who could complete a blow from outside the sky was guarding everyone in the Qingguo Imperial Court. Don't try to make any moves. Anyone who dares to move on this vast white snow is the target of his killing.

A bang. One person died, 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 force a breakthrough at this moment.

No one knows what happened to those people who passed through Kyoto and how they died.

Sitting on his horse indifferently with all his armor, the elite cavalry he led was enough to ensure that the two rushed back and forth to kill these strong men in the snow, but he didn't 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 Zhong 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 court 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 give an order, but because he knew what those things that took people's lives and seemed to be stabbed from outside the sky were, 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, with the box. A young girl at the city gate who refused to check herself.

In this matter, Ye Zhong felt that His Majesty was wrong, so he was silent, and he would never move until there was no will.

How long can the deathly silence last? How long will it take for this snowstorm 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. Most people subconsciously lowered their heads, avoiding the kind of death harvest that might come from the sky, so this young man in a pale yellow shirt stood at the city wall, looking so tall and so brave.

"According to Qinglu, His Majesty is in a coma and can't see things. Should I automatically become a prisoner?" asked the third prince, Li Hongcheng, with his two fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.

Eunuch Yao, who was pale beside him and was looking around, replied in a trembling voice: "But Your Majesty has just fallen into a coma, and it has not yet exceeded the seven-day period. ”

"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 Hongcheng 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. The slave shouldn't be 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 Hongcheng'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 seems to have become a gentle prince under Fan Xiandi's education, Eunuch Yao knows what kind of vicious character 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?

Not to mention the country of Qingguo. In the future, it will always be passed on to the Third Highness. If Your Majesty really dies this time, I am afraid that tomorrow His Royal Highness will sit on the dragon chair.

"Wait for them to get out of the square. If you pursue it again, you can always give an explanation to your father, what's the point of dying here?" Li Hongcheng squinted slightly, looking at his brother in the snow, sir, without revealing any emotions 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 think that maybe it is whose naughty boy is putting spring thunder inside, but the sound of this spring thunder seems to be louder.

After all, the reaction speed of the inner court was faster, and His Majesty the Emperor said the name of the Star Picking Tower unusually 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 Kyoto East Castle at the fastest speed.

Two streets apart, they also heard a loud noise from the Star Picking Tower, these inner court masters lifted their spirits, 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 watched vigilantly at the few pedestrians, when suddenly, he saw a small man walking over, and his heart clicked.

This little guy was a teenager, and what made the inner court guard suspicious was that this person's body was wrapped in a thick layer of fur, although the fur looked very tattered and worth a few dollars, but the blue cloth inside was wrapped in a real one, but it was turned over under his knees, 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, and he wanted to call his companion, but he felt a flower in front of him, and then he felt a numb 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 snowy and noisy today, 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 pent-up 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 suspicion, and that was the Fan Mansion.

Fan Mansion is as usual today, there is no panic, no sadness, no nervousness, boiling water that should be boiled, and cooking that should be cooked. The results of Fan Xian's negotiations with His Majesty when he entered the palace 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 permission of His Majesty the Emperor 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 stable, there was no trembling.
