"I heard that the fourth prince came from a humble background and was not favored by the saints, and it seems that this is not entirely the case." Master Qingxuan stroked his palms and smiled, "Okay, Fourth Prince, take off your robe and walk over slowly, if there are any weapons under your robe, I will immediately send you and your younger brother to eternal bliss." ”

"Ziche!" The Emperor jerked forward, but he reached out and grabbed only a slippery corner of his clothes.

"Miss Chu, the safety of my father is entrusted to you." Bai Ziche said in a low voice.

Chu Zhixia's expression was condensed and he nodded slightly.

Bai Ziche untied his belt and widened his robe, and the jade belt and brocade robe fell to the ground. He raised his hands to show that there was nothing in his hands, and walked step by step into Master Qingxuan, who was surrounded by the Assassins.

Bai Ziche and the assassin were so close that everyone held their breath.

"Miss, catch the sword!"

Cheng Yuan burst into a loud shout, breaking the atmosphere of dead silence.

Drinking the snow is like a meteor in the night, passing over the head of the statue of King Ming and falling into the hands of Chu Zhixia.

Bai Ziche immediately made a decision, pulled out the hairpin and thrust it into the assassin's neck, snatching the six princes and running away. But the assassin behind him was quicker, drawing his sword and slashing at his back. Bai Ziche hugged the six princes tightly and threw himself to the ground, closing his eyes as if he were dead.

Drinking the snow suddenly came out of its sheath, Chu Zhixia decisively threw his sword, piercing the assassin's chest. Half of the bloody snow-white sword body passed through the assassin's body, and the tail of the sword still trembled. The assassin's movements stiffened, and it took him half a day to get to the end.

"Kill!" Cheng Yuan woke up the forbidden army and the Yulin army, who had never seen blood, and rode straight up.

"Yu Lin Wei, protect Your Majesty!"

Chu Zhixia's toes hooked over a small table, provoking and throwing at the assassin who intended to stab Bai Ziche again, the assassin carried mostly short blades, and it was difficult to split the table, so he had to dodge in embarrassment. Cheng Yuan swung his sword, but the horse's belly was cut by the assassin, and he had to roll to the ground and slash at the assassin's ankle.

The assassin's body flew into the air to dodge, and Cheng Yuan took the opportunity to step on Bai Ziche's waist and kicked it towards Chu Zhixia.

"Miss Chu, your sword." Bai Ziche rolled up in dust, and handed her the drinking stream snow in embarrassment.

This man was powerless, and when he was exhausted, he even dared to pull the drinking stream snow off the assassin's body!

However, Yu Linwei and the forbidden army were all showmanship, and with the exception of Cheng Yuan, they were gradually defeated by the Assassins.

Chu Zhixia took the sword and shook away the blood like beads on the sword, and was in a dilemma - if the assassin still had a back hand, she would step forward at this time to hand over the emperor's life to others.

At this moment, a black shadow like a owl appeared under the moon.

The black-clothed young man in black hat stepped on the remnants of the statue of King Ming and fell straight above Master Qingxuan's head. The Assassins were shocked to see that something was wrong, but it was too late, and the blade of the sword sliced open Master Qingxuan's head like a quick knife cutting paper, revealing red, white, and white brains and blood.

The person who came covered his appearance, and even his eyes were covered together, but Chu Zhixia could see it at a glance - Shen Zhou!

As soon as Master Qingxuan died, the assassins immediately messed up and swarmed up the sinking boat. The sinking boat ghostly passed under the blades of the assassins, and not a single corner of its clothes was touched. The blood on his sword ticked, but he never swung it again.

Shen Zhou spun around and dodged two knives stabbing at the same time, the blade of the sword brushed against the neck of one of them, like a thread of blood blooming; The other hand pinched his neck, and then twisted his throat directly with the force of his turn.

Cheng Yuan swung his knife and almost split half of an assassin's body, panting as he looked at Shen Zhou.

He also recognized this strange body style and unobtrusive killing style.

However, before Cheng Yuan could shout, Shen Zhou suddenly swept past him and pounced directly on the emperor. Chu Zhixia was taken aback, but immediately found that his target was not the emperor, but the prince of the East Palace in front of the emperor - Bai Huan!

Bai Huan's pupils clearly reflected the snow-colored sword blade, and he forgot to breathe for a while.

Drinking Jianxue picked up the sword with the killing intent, Shen Zhou's sword missed, and swung at Bai Huan's throat again. Chu Zhixia twisted his wrist, and Drinking Jian Xue slashed straight towards Shen Zhou's wrist against the blade of the sword, forcing him to retreat.

But Shen Zhou seemed to have made up his mind that Bai Huan must die, and the sword in his hand danced into a silver dragon, doing everything to break free of the drinking stream and snow, and piercing Bai Huan's heart with a sword.

The two fought into the court, but no one dared to approach.

Chu Zhixia gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Assassinating the East Palace is a big crime of the Nine Clans. ”

The sinking boat was unmoved.

"If you don't leave, I'll call you by name. It's a big deal to go to hell together. Chu Zhixia grinded his teeth and said softly viciously.

Shen Zhou suddenly withdrew his sword, and Chu Zhixia thought that he would stop there, but he suddenly slammed his wrong hand into Chu Zhixia's wrist. Drinking the stream snow flew out diagonally, Chu Zhixia's wrist was numb, and Shen Zhou swung his sword straight at Bai Huan's heart.

Blood splattered.

Shen Zhou stiffened.

He couldn't see it anymore, but the blood mixed with the wisps of warm fragrance on Chu Zhixia's body dipped into the tip of his nose.

"Mo Xue!"

"Miss!"

Chu Zhixia held the three-inch sword blade that was submerged in his shoulder, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"You lawless assassin, do you know that assassinating the East Palace is a great crime for the Nine Clans?" Chu Zhixia pretended to have all his strength, slapped Shen Zhou's heart, and shouted, "Where are you running here?" ”

Shen Zhou's heart was so shocked that he almost threw down his sword and hugged her. But Shen Zhou suppressed his instinctive impulse, turned and flew into the dark night forest, and disappeared.

Chu Zhixia pushed away Bai Huan, who was frightened and wanted to step forward to help her, staggered to her feet, lifted the drinking stream snow and hugged her fist to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely arrest this assassin back." ”

The emperor was so frightened by the blood on her body that he couldn't give up, "What kind of assassin are you still caught, you take care of the wound first!" ”

This sword was originally aimed at Bai Huan's throat, not so deep, but Chu Zhixia shook his heart and immediately spit out a large mouthful of blood. Cheng Yuan, who was frightened by Shen Zhou and Chu Zhixia successively, jumped up and pounced on her, so she didn't let her lie on the ground directly.

"Miss!?" Cheng Yuan looked at her in shock.

"The capture of the Assassins must not be delayed." Chu Zhixia lay in Cheng Yuan's arms, and quietly shook his head at him while vomiting blood, his eyes were clear, "That assassin was hit by me, and he couldn't run far." Your Majesty is not persuaded. ”

Cheng Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he understood what she meant.

"You're already like this, what assassins do you care?" The Emperor was furious, slapped the table and said, "You don't have to worry about it, this Yulin Wei is brave enough to kill the enemy, and let him go if he captures the assassin." Come on, Xuan Taiyi! ”

Chu Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and relaxed his mind in Cheng Yuan's arms in a drowsy state.

——

The assassination of the emperor and the East Palace shocked the government and the opposition, and the queen knelt down in front of the Xuanzheng Hall and asked the emperor to depose the queen.

Chu Zhixia was tossed by the Taiyi Tang Medicine, and without waiting for dawn, he forcibly got up from the bed and returned to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence. Yuzhu cried and wiped her tears to help her up from the carriage, and as soon as the gate of the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence was closed, Chu Zhixia immediately walked all over the house looking for someone.

"Miss, what are you looking for?"

Chu Zhixia kicked open the door of the silent courtyard, and Shen Zhou sat under the tree without accident, and the scattered leaves fell on his shoulders. Those touching eyes fell on Chu Zhixia without focus, like a pair of exquisite black glass.

He was completely out of sight.

However, this is the case, he also wants to assassinate the crown prince.

Fear, doubt, and anger swept through Chu Zhixia's mind, and she strode up to Shen Zhou, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up.

Yuzhu had never seen such a posture, and she didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. From childhood to adulthood, Chu Zhixia always held Shen Zhou in the palm of his hand, for fear of breaking him.

Shen Zhou seemed to have lost all emotion, and he peeled off her collar and touched the white cloth that covered the wound on her shoulder. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been drained of a little bit of energy, and more like a spring flower that had withered a little more.

"Got it?" Chu Zhixia burned the fire to the Tianling Gai, and his clenched teeth creaked, "Knowing that I'm not dead, feel at ease?" Or would you be happier if I died? ”

Shen Zhou twisted his head as if evading, his fingers motionless—he didn't even have the heart to defend himself.

Chu Zhixia became more and more annoyed and afraid, pushed him to lean directly against the trunk of the tree, knocked down a green leaf, and said loudly: "Speak!" Are you going to kill me to be happy? If you don't say about the aftermath of the poison, you won't tell me about the assassination of the prince - do you know that the assassination of the prince is a capital crime, don't you want to live! ”

Shen Zhou was clearly out of sight, but he was still covered in bruises under her desperate gaze, and he was about to pull back the hand she held in his hand. Chu Zhixia didn't allow it, she stuffed a silver hairpin into Shen Zhou's hand, and held his hand firmly and pressed it to her heart.

"Since you don't want to live anymore, let's die together!" Chu Zhixia roared, "Come on, aren't you very good at killing?" Just push down three inches and I'll go to hell with you!" ”

Shen Zhou's hands were trembling, as if Chu Zhixia's blood had gushed out from the peak of the silver hairpin, burning straight through his flesh and biting his bones.

"What the hell do you want from me?" Chu Zhixia's tears fell in a puff, and he choked up and asked, "What the hell do you want!" Will you never understand how scared I am when I see you? What am I going to do if you die? ”

Shen Zhou's lips trembled slightly, and he actually spit out a vague byte: "I ......"

However, just one word seemed to exhaust all his qi and blood. The next moment, he only felt that the sky was spinning, and he staggered and fell on Chu Zhixia's shoulder. It was as if a cold hand was gripping his heart, and he was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to breathe, let alone speak.

He wanted to say, I will do nothing, except killing, this is the only thing I can do for you, and the last thing I can do for you;

He wanted to say that the prince could not be trusted, and if he was the emperor, the Chu family would be difficult to protect;

He also wanted to say that I actually ...... It's not that I don't understand it at all.

It's a pity that Shen Zhou was powerless, and he was strangled in his throat by the entangled toxin, and he couldn't say a word.

In a drowsy state, Shen Zhou thought, I always seem to be late.

"Sinking the boat!"

In Chu Zhixia's frightened shout, Shen Zhou vomited a mouthful of thick black blood and fainted.
