In the Kwai Palace, Kwai Yuan walked around the verandah with her maids, and happened to meet the mother of the emperor's brother Kwai Hiko.

Kwai Yuan bowed and said, "See Concubine Yan." ”

Concubine Yan glared at Kwai Yuan and said disdainfully: "The princess of a dignified country wears armor all day long and dresses like a man, what kind of body is it?" ”

Kwai Yuan: "If the garden is not wearing armor, you will be uneasy, and I hope that Concubine Yan will understand." ”

Yan Guifei: "What do you mean by this, that there are still people in this huge palace who dare to harm you?" ”

Kwai Yuan: "Yuan'er doesn't dare to make a judgment, but you can't take precautions, forgive Yuan'er to retire first, and there are important things to do." ”

Kwai Yuan ignored Yan Guifei and left directly, Yan Guifei looked at her departing back and smiled proudly: "I'm afraid that the danger is not something that you girl can prevent if you want to." ”

Kwai Yuan has a worry in her heart, her contact with the Emperor of Punishment will inevitably be leaked, the enemy will not sit back and let the Emperor of Punishment meet with him before he acts, before that he must protect himself, in recent days she has been visiting the palace every day as the chief of the guard of the forbidden army, and he is also the master who taught himself to practice martial arts since he was a child - Dong Ruoyang, he can be regarded as the elder of Kwai Yuan who is currently rare to rely on in the cold palace.

Dong Ruoyang was instructing the training of the Praetorian Guards, and when he saw Kwai Yuan coming, he knelt and said, "Weichen see Her Royal Highness Princess Baihua." ”

Kwai Yuan: "No courtesy, I have to trouble your old man to guide the martial arts of the palace again." ”

Dong Ruoyang: "Weichen doesn't dare to be a minister, but it doesn't seem appropriate for Her Royal Highness the princess to come here, and the emperor will blame Weichen." ”

Kwai Yuan: "Don't worry, there is no gentleman's class in this palace today, and the morning is the free time of this palace, and my father can't care where I go to this palace." ”

After speaking, Kwai Yuan took out the sword at his waist and gestured in the air, and said proudly: "The sword return throwing technique taught by Uncle Dong earlier has been mastered in this palace, and now I will show it to my uncle." ”

Dong Ruoyang sighed, and looked at the young officer on the side, the young man's name is Dong Xi, Dong Ruoyang adopted his adopted son, under his training, he climbed to the position of the captain of the Praetorian Guard squad at a young age with his strength, which is really promising, this year twenty is three years older than Kwai Yuan, and the two are also childhood sweethearts who have known each other since childhood.

Dong Xi stepped forward with a reluctant look and whispered: "Spare me, Your Royal Highness the Princess......"

However, the answer was: "Look at the sword!" ”

Kwai Yuan's sword fell so that Dong Xi could only block with a sword, as Kwai Yuan pressed Dong Xi to resist with all his strength, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly retract his strength and let his body suppress and lean forward, but Kwai Yuan did not completely give up resistance but moved his body sideways, at this time Dong Xi paid too much attention to the two sides of the two swords and ignored the lower road, and was defenseless against Kwai Yuan's sudden stumbling foot and fell directly to the ground.

Dong Ruoyang applauded and exclaimed: "Beautiful! ”

Kwai Yuan: "Uncle Dong's teachings have been practiced diligently, and he doesn't dare to slack off. ”

Dong Ruoyang: "Dong Xi has not seen it, even Her Royal Highness the princess is so diligent, you have to go further in your training in the future!" ”

Dong Xi said with a frightened face: "Huh?!" ”

After the martial arts training, Kwai Yuan returned to the palace room to bathe and wash off the sweat stains on his body, participated in the palace lecture on time in the afternoon, and recited the military history homework issued by Mr. yesterday in the classroom.

"The Xiongnu army is divided into three ways, respectively, to climb the cliff, ladder to the city, pile car attack three ways to attack the horsehair pass, the Xia family army to the general Xia Luo led 3,000 soldiers to guard the city wall, dispatch the deputy general Xia Yingfeng, Hua Chunxiu with 300 soldiers on both sides of the city gate to shoot rockets to burn the pile car, the pioneer general Xia Yuan and his deputy general Xia Lian Butterfly soldiers in two ways each with 500 elite soldiers on both sides of the cliff to intercept the enemy's sneak attack route, and detour to the back to block the enemy's logistics with falling rocks, When the enemy was tired of holding on for many days, he took advantage of the enemy's slack in the night, opened the city gate, and attacked with cavalry, and cooperated with the siege of the two sides of the cliff to attack together, breaking the morale of the Xiongnu army in one blow and making it unable to form an army. ”

The gentleman nodded and said, "Then Her Royal Highness the princess, can you tell me why the Xia family was able to resist the Hun army four times the number of their own with fewer victories?" ”

Kwai Yuan: "The first point is that the location of the horsehair pass is sandwiched between two cliffs, and the road is so narrow that all the troops can pass through, so they can only march in a long snake formation, which greatly reduces the threat of the front line; Then to the high and deep city building technology of Xiajia, the height of the city wall makes it difficult to climb the ordinary ladder, and the elongated ladder becomes extremely unstable and easy to break and fall, the city gate is made of carefully selected materials to resist the impact of huge forces and not be burned, and there are hidden holes in the city wall to strengthen the power of defense and counterattack; In the end, it is natural to praise the generals of the Xia family for their wisdom and bravery, their speed, courage and carefulness, and their complete insight into the Xiongnu offensive line, so that the enemy only has the strength of numbers and no way to attack. ”

Sir: "Very good, Prince Yan and Prince Lang must also work hard to keep up with Her Royal Highness Princess Baihua." ”

Aoi Hiko said disdainfully: "What's the use of learning well? She shouldn't have come here in the first place, what kind of military politics does a daughter's family study? ”

Kwai Lang smiled: "My mother said that it was only a matter of time before she married outside the state. ”

Sir: "How can the two princes talk to their sister like this?!" ”

Aoihiko: "Why, you are just a minion who wants to teach us a lesson?" ”

Aoi Lang simply didn't speak and made a neck clicking motion, which frightened Mr. Teaching into speechlessness.

Kwai Yuan ignored the cynicism of the two imperial brothers and said, "Please continue the class, sir." ”

After returning to the room at night, he practiced swords in the garden, and began to study after the meal and washing, until the middle of the night, the maid Xiaozi was a little unable to support it and began to doze off, and found that he was almost asleep, so he slapped his face and wanted to wake up.

Kwai Yuan: "You go back to sleep first, this palace doesn't need you to serve." ”

Little Seed: "Ah...... Thanks to Her Royal Highness the princess for her great kindness, the slave and maid went back first......"

Not long after the maid left, there was a noisy gong beating outside the house, and only to hear the voice "There is an assassin!" Aoi Yuan pushed open the door and looked around, and the sound of hurried footsteps around him indicated that the guards were chasing the suspicious person.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Kwai Yuan, and when he looked at Gonggong Kong, who was beside Kwai Huang, he hurriedly pushed Kwai Yuan into the house and muttered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, go in, be careful of being found by assassins!" ”

Kwai Yuan did as she was told, but soon found that Kong's behavior was unreasonable, and quickly locked the door and locked him up with herself.

Kwai Yuan said tentatively: "The room that Gonggong Kong left in this palace is not suitable. ”

Gonggong Kong also sensed the vigilance in Kwai Yuan's words, and did not waste time to get straight to the point: "Your Royal Highness Princess Baihua, for the sake of your future majesty, I can only ask you to sleep here peacefully!" ”

His Majesty in the future must be referring to one of the two royal brothers who are strong contenders for the throne, and Kwai Yuan now has no time to guess who Gonggong Kong is colluding with, and said angrily: "Do you think you can get out of the palace if you kill this palace?" ”

Gonggong Kong: "Wrong, Your Royal Highness the Princess, it was not the old slave who killed you, but the assassin, and the assassin is absolutely impossible to find, hehehe." ”

With the assassins that the Ouchi Praetorian Guards could not capture, a term popped up in Aoi Yuan's heart, and that was "immortal cultivator"!

Kong Gonggong took out a dagger from his sleeve and attacked Kwai Yuan, but Kong Gonggong was wrong in his calculation that Kwai Yuan was a long-trained skill even if the assassin had no weapons, but he was not a weak woman who embroidered behind closed doors all day long.

Kwai Yuan shouted, "Someone, help!" While running in the direction of the door, he didn't expect that the table on the side was directly knocked over by something to the ground, and he was startled, and he didn't dare to act rashly, only slightly tried to take a step, and a hidden weapon hit the toe in front of him, if he stretched out half a foot slightly, it was estimated that the foot had been broken and bleeding.

Kwai Yuan took a closer look and found that the secret weapon was a finger stone commonly used by immortal cultivators, and only immortal cultivators could exert such a powerful destructive power on a small sharp stone, and according to the ballistic path of the finger stone, Kwai Yuan turned his head and saw a figure outside the skylight hole in his room, it turned out that there was more than one immortal cultivator, one of them was responsible for drawing the attention of the guards so that no matter how he shouted, no one would rescue him, and the other person was responsible for assisting Kong Gonggong to take his own life!

Kong Gonggong attacked again and was dodged by Kwai Yuan's side, and then when he was still retreating, there was a loud chirp from behind him that the floor was penetrated, this immortal cultivator assassin has been blocking his actions with a hidden weapon, and the accuracy of the hidden weapon is extremely high, how can it be good to be stabbed by the sharp blade in Kong Gonggong's hand is only a matter of time before he is stabbed.

Wait a minute! Kwai Yuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and seemed to think of something, since the other party's secret weapon can always hit his way forward accurately, then why not do it himself? As long as he hits himself, he will be absolutely seriously injured and will not be cured at all, and there is no need for Kong Gonggong to do it, Kwai Yuan only then remembered the rule that immortal cultivators cannot kill, which is why he has to borrow the hand of Kong Gonggong to assassinate and this immortal cultivator assassin can only assist on the side, since he can't do it to himself, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Kwai Yuan picked up the wooden stool that fell at her feet, and directly knocked down the dagger in Kong Gonggong's hand, and ignored the flick finger stone that shot at the side of him, the other party also seemed to notice that Kwai Yuan was not afraid of the flick finger stone, and when she raised the stool and was about to slam it on Kong Gonggong, the flick stone directly smashed the wooden bench into debris, Kong Gonggong didn't expect Kwai Yuan to be so powerful and hurriedly removed the door bolt and fled, Kwai Yuan didn't chase but was curious that even if the guard was led away, Xiao Zi should hear the call nearby, right, When I arrived at the maid's room, I found that she had already been tied up and gagged, unable to move......

After a frightened night, the guards of the forbidden army naturally failed to track down the whereabouts of this immortal cultivator assassin, and Kwai Yuan directly confronted Kong Gonggong with a dagger in front of Emperor Kwai Huang, but Kong Gonggong pretended to be wronged and said that he had never been to Kwai Yuan's room at all, and the dagger he used was only a commodity that could be seen everywhere on the street and could not be used as evidence.

Kwai Yuan: "So where were you last night, and someone can testify for you?" ”

"Gonggong Kong accompanies this prince to study all night, and it is impossible to go to your room."

The person who testified for Gonggong Kong was actually the third prince Kwai Lang, and his mother Sun Guifei came with him, and Yan Guifei, who was already watching from the sidelines, showed a sly smile.

Dong Ruoyang proposed to Emperor Kwai that the infiltrated assassin was very likely to be an immortal cultivator, whose skills far exceeded that of mortals, and he could easily jump a few feet away on the eaves roof, and he couldn't catch up at all, and Emperor Kwai suspected that immortal cultivators had not participated in mortal political affairs for many years, and had never been a problem for foreign enemies, but the notorious Black Rakshasa was very likely to be the author of this matter, fortunately, the Kwai Dynasty had contact with Shitang Fort many years ago, and now they could come in handy.

In this way, the guards of Shitangbao naturally increased their efforts to enter the palace as guards, and all this was in the plan of Shi Wanjun and Concubine Yan.

The two met secretly again to discuss, and Concubine Yan said proudly: "The master of the stone castle is both wise and brave, and he thought of a clever plan to deliberately release the news of the alliance between the girl and the Emperor of Punishment to Concubine Sun's forces, and sure enough, they couldn't bear to take a step earlier, and now the palace is full of our people!" It's that the girl in Kwai Yuan actually didn't die. ”

Shi Wanjun: "It's also thanks to Concubine Yan's vast intelligence network, and it was found that Concubine Sun Niangniang also had an alliance with immortal cultivators, and it was only in recent days that I learned that the object was someone from the Tang Sect." ”

Yan Guifei: "No matter which sect or sect the stone castle master is, you don't have to worry, right?" After all, the other party can only sneak in if he wants to send someone into the palace, but we are above board. ”

Shi Wanjun: "We have won half of the chess game, but we should not take it lightly before winning. ”

Yan Guifei: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the stone castle master, then the palace will go back first." ”

Shi Wanjun looked at the chessboard on the table after Concubine Yan left, picked up a sunspot and said to himself: "The old man is not worried about the Tang Sect, the Emperor of Punishment is really the most uneasy existence for the old man. ”
