Chapter 35: Who Are the Assassins?

I don't know if the previous little palace maid reported the news, or the palace maid master who died in his own hands was suspicious, but Fan Xian knew that this fight, although he didn't let this palace maid master make a sound, but it would definitely alarm the real masters in the palace, so he didn't care about dealing with the corpses on the ground at all, his toes were on the stone slab ground, and the whole person had turned into a sharp arrow, rushing towards the direction of the palace wall he had planned.

The palace wall was still so high, Fan Xian was a little annoyed by his speed, and when he finally climbed to the top of the wall, he only heard a buzzing sound coming from the back of his head, and it seemed that the air behind him began to tremble.

He looked back in amazement, and then looked at the corner tower of Miyagi in the far distance, where there was a large general, looking at him with a bow.

In the night sky, a feathered arrow flew towards his face like a soul-devouring artifact!

Before a breath, the arrow is in the sky, and after a breath, the arrow is in front of you.

There seems to be a soul on the arrow, and it cannot be lived. Fan Xian roared wildly, the black scarf on his face was shattered by this roar, and the nameless domineering true qi that had been silently cultivated in his body for sixteen years was wildly and violently poured into his hands at this moment of life and death.

The two fists hit each other in the air, and it happened to hit the shaft of the arrow!

In a moment, the violent true qi carried by the two fists hedged against the powerful force attached to the arrow, and the arrow shaft had been shattered into powder, and the arrow narrowly brushed Fan Xian's hair, piercing the night sky far away!

A loud bang resounded through the night sky of the imperial city, waking up the people who were asleep, and shocking the people who woke up, like a thunderclap on the palace wall.

This arrow was too powerful, it was not like a mortal could shoot it, and after blocking it with both fists, Fan Xian's body was empty. Falling weakly from the palace wall, his black clothes fluttering in the night wind, looking very miserable.

Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the palace on the corner tower of the palace wall in the distance, watched the assassin fall from the palace wall, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an extremely strong look, and said coldly: "If you don't die, go and catch him." ”

"Yes!" the guards commanded.

Under the palace wall, Fan Xian, who was dressed in black night clothes, fell suddenly, and was about to smash to the ground at the moment. Forcibly twisted his body, supported the ground with one knee and one foot, and made a muffled sound when he collided with the ground, and the powerful shock force made him spurt blood from his mouth, wetting the remaining black cloth fragments on his face. Followed by. With a low roar, he ran into the woods outside the palace walls, and disappeared into the night of Kyoto a moment before the guards at the corner appeared.

――――――

On the second day, in a small inconspicuous room under the roots of the imperial city. Old Eunuch Hong seemed to be in a bad spirit. Sit on the throne with your eyes half-closed. The two generals below were also closing their eyes, and no one seemed willing to speak.

After a long time, Gong Dian, the deputy commander who was resting at home last night, said softly: "Your Majesty is shocked. ”

Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the inner hall who shot Fan Xian off the wall with an arrow last night, slowly opened his eyes at this time, and said coldly: "The eldest princess's personal palace maid has died, and the eldest princess is very angry. ”

After the two spoke, the old eunuch Hong slowly opened his eyes, and said in an old voice: "I was tricked to transfer the tiger from the mountain yesterday, and the queen mother and her old man were very unhappy. ”

"Who is it?" Gong Dian asked as a matter of course, in his heart, even if it was a tiger. But being targeted by a peerless master like Gonggong Hong who is still sick and has tiger might, there is no possibility of escape.

"I don't know. Gonggong Hong smiled slightly, "The level of his performance is only between the middle and upper middle of the ninth grade, but he is very familiar with the architecture of Kyoto, especially in the dark night, I was led around Kyoto by him, and finally lost, this person...... It's remarkable. ”

It is amazing to make Gonggong Hong say it. That guy must be really remarkable.

Yan Xiaoyi is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today. It was the time when the momentum of the elite species was at its peak, as the commander of the palace guards. To take responsibility for the safety of the entire palace, he glanced at the old eunuch Hong coldly and said, "Where did my father-in-law follow him in the end?"

"The Dongyi City Mission is not far from an alley. ”

Gong Dian said: "The results of today's investigation are out. Grandpa Hong's pair of chopsticks pierced the clothes of the first assassin, and after comparing them with the Supervision Yuan, it was confirmed that they were from Xianghe satin. ”

Yan Xiaoyi began to close his eyes and recuperate. Gong Dian continued: "The Supervision Yuan found out that the Dongyi City Mission had ordered a batch of clothes in Tianxiang Section some time ago, and it was not in the name of the mission, but someone was looking for someone to help order it. Gonggong Hong asked softly, "What does the deputy commander want to explain?"

Gong Dian smiled and said, "Why do you want to order clothes in the name of someone else?" Obviously, we are worried that some subtle traces will be caught by us. Judging from all kinds of clues, the assassin who came for the first time should be from Dongyi City. The only person who can have the Shui Huai in the Nine Grades is the first disciple of the Four Swords, Yun Zhilan, who has been extremely quiet in Kyoto these days. ”

Yan Xiaoyi suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It's not Yun Zhilan. If the people of Dongyi City want to sneak into the palace, they still have to buy some new clothes, just knock out a pedestrian on the street and strip him of his clothes, Yun Zhilan is this kind of simple person. ”

Gonggong Hong nodded: "Although that Jiupin concealed his sword intent, he still followed the path of looking at the sword, so the old man was very interested, if it wasn't for Yun Zhilan, could it be that there were still people in Dongyi City, and they dared to listen to Yun Zhilan's orders?"

"There's a lot of blame. Gong Dian listened to what the two said, and frowned slightly: "It's too coincidental, so someone may blame Yun Zhilan." ”

"How many people in Dongyi City are likely to take over the mantle of the Sigu sword?"

"Three nine products, including Yun Zhilan. ”

"The other two are suspicious. ”

"Let's talk about the night walker who was shot down by the Grand Commander in the end, I heard that the Great Commander's arrow shook the whole palace, but unfortunately he didn't shoot the other party. Listening to the tone of the words, it seems that there is not much between the old eunuch Hong and the commander of the Great Interior.

Yan Xiaoyi looked down on this eunuch at all, but knowing that the other party was really the most powerful and unfathomable person in the palace, he snorted coldly and said: "The second assassin is also a nine-rank character, although he is only a nine-rank person, but if I can shoot him to death with one arrow, wouldn't I become one of the four great grandmasters?"

"Another Nine Pins?" Gong Dian was full of shock, he himself had been in the realm of eight grades all his life, and it was always difficult to advance an inch, and he heard that two nine rank masters sneaked into the palace last night, and he had to give birth to many complex emotions.

"There are only seven nine products in the entire Qingguo, and there are only four people in Kyoto, how can there be so many nine products in this world. Old Eunuch Hong said lightly, obviously not believing in Commander Yan's judgment, thinking that the other party was shirking his responsibility.

Gong Dian was most afraid of this kind of scene every time, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has a strict decree that we will close the case within ten years, and I will immediately transfer people from the Supervision Yuan to check the situation in each palace, and first judge clearly why the other party would take such a big risk and sneak into the palace." ”

Yan Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "The latter person doesn't know why, but the former person must have something to do with Dongyi City, so start with the Dongyi Mission to see why that batch of clothes was ordered, and it is best to find out where each piece of clothing went." ”

was preparing the layout of the investigation, and suddenly a small eunuch hurriedly ran in and announced the will of the saint, all the events of last night were handed over to the Kyoto garrison Ye Zhong for investigation, and the palace guards were as usual and were not allowed to publicize it.

After the little eunuch left, the three palace guards in the house looked at each other. Yan Xiaoyi slowly closed his eyes, knowing that His Majesty was beginning to doubt one of the three of them, Gonggong Hong walked out behind him, his face was calm.

A few days later, the assassins in Beijing found nothing.

――――――

His Majesty's will of the emperor actually relieved the siege for the real entry into the palace to see Fan Xian. In this plan, there is no big mistake in all aspects, but forcibly letting Wuzhu wear that new brown dress is a bit self-conscious, but it shows his feet.

Fan Xian secretly found out that Dongyi City ordered this Du dress in Tianxiang satin because the son of the Dongyi City Lord liked the retro style of Kyoto clothes, so he ordered a batch. As for why he placed an order incognito, in fact, it was only because of a very simple reason - the young master of Dongyi City, where the world's merchants meet, actually envied the costumes of the Southern Barbarian Qingguo, and after this matter spread, I was afraid that he would be scolded to death by those merchants in Dongyi City who have always been very bold.

Of course, Fan Xian will use such a hand more, mainly because he doesn't believe that Uncle Wuzhu can perfectly simulate the sword intent of Sigu Sword, if he had known that Wuzhu was so powerful to the point of such a perversion, Fan Xian would definitely use the trick to be more perfect.

However, the ending is good, at least the palace is still suspicious of the other two Nine Rank masters in Dongyi City, and the Supervision Yuan has also begun to confirm where the other two disciples of Sigu Jian are on the day when the enemy came to the palace.

No one would think of Fan Xian. Because on the night of the enemy in the palace, the high-ranking officials of the entire Qingguo Kyoto watched him drink a thousand bottles of poems on the main hall, and Zhuang Mohan, the master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was so angry that he vomited blood, and he couldn't wait to lose his head overnight. In the end he was drunk and fell at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor.

This is the misunderstanding of human thinking, not only that it is impossible for Fan Xian to get up after being drunk, but that people are used to when a person does something very shocking, it is impossible to immediately do another thing.

It is impossible to orgasm again after orgasm, there must be a refractory period.
