This shot almost cost Xiao Jinyan half of his life.

Fortunately, he has a unique way of exercising, and with the help of the integrated spiral energy, he has lost most of his strength, but it still makes his blood churn. In the palace, the masters are like clouds, once they are entangled, they will fight to the death, and he does not dare to linger in the slightest. The body bounced up, instantly releasing the law space, and in an instant, it was ten zhang away.

After the old man made a palm, he didn't move again, looking at Xiao Jinyan's distant back, like a lion staring at its prey, with a cold light in his eyes.

A number of forbidden army masters immediately chased them out.

Mr. Ping's duty is to guard the water prison, and he did not chase and kill Xiao Jinyan together, not to mention, the old man did not speak.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground: "See Your Majesty!"

The old man in the Taoist robe didn't pay attention to it, and said thoughtfully, "I see." ”

This is the first time Zhu Liye has seen Xiao Jinyan, and it is the unique string force in Xiao Jinyan's body that makes him aware of the clues.

"What about Li Chuntie?"

"In the water prison. ”

Zhu Liye had a plan in his heart, and he was about to go to the water prison, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped, I don't know if he was worried that this mad dog would scold him again, or because he was afraid of other reasons.

He issued an order to Mr. Ping: "Tonight's incident, the mad dog and Xiao Jinyan's words and deeds, every move, will be reported to me in detail." Strict investigation!"

"Yes!"

......

With that palm just now, Xiao Jinyan was not lightly injured, and he urgently needed to find a place to heal his injuries, these forbidden troops were like dog skin plasters, chasing after Xiao Jinyan, not giving him the slightest chance.

Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to stop, these people are not only forbidden troops, but also the most powerful thugs of His Majesty the Emperor, if they are really trapped, it will be a big trouble.

What's more, this is the capital, and no one is more familiar with the terrain here than them.

What is hateful is that on the four watchtowers in the east, west, north and south of the outer palace, some people stand on the highest point, using torches and bronze mirrors to guide the forbidden army.

He galloped down the long street, and the light reflected by the bronze mirror shone on the long street.

He climbed on the roof, the light of the bronze mirror shining on the roof.

It's like the eyes of a falcon hovering in the sky, staring at Xiao Jinyan all the time, no matter how fast it is, it can't compare to the speed of the eyes, and it can't compare to the speed of light reflection.

The gongs in the outer palace sounded loudly.

Three long, two short, and three long, this is the signal of the three levels of security in the palace, which means that someone has broken into the palace.

The gate of the outer city palace has long been closed.

Outside the city, the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the three battalions heard the warning in the palace, and almost all the soldiers and horses were close to the palace, and once the assassin left the palace, someone would immediately take over.

On the way to escape, Xiao Jinyan grabbed a stone, saw the right time, and threw it at the top of the watchtower.

When!

The bronze mirror does not eat internal force, and the sound of cracking came.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party was changing the mirror, Xiao Jinyan used the rockery and eaves in the palace to evade the pursuers and came to the east city wall of the city.

The city wall is ten zhang high, Xiao Jinyan jumped up, his hands were like steel, pierced into the blue bricks of the city wall, and jumped three zhang upward.

He endured the pain in his body, jumped again, and went up more than two feet.

"There it is!"

There are forbidden soldiers with sharp eyes and found Xiao Jinyan.

Whoosh!

Three arrows in succession shot at him, Xiao Jinyan dodged left and right, and his eyes were still three feet away from the city.

A sharp whistling sound was fired mixed with more than a dozen other arrows.

Xiao Jinyan felt chills all over his body.

The owner of this arrow is afraid that it is extraordinary, at least a person from the Elephant Realm.

He leaped and dodged the rest of the arrows, but the last arrow almost locked all his retreats, and he couldn't dodge them anyway.

The air energy has been exhausted, and there is no way to ventilate, and the air machine is still half a foot away from the city.

Is it just here to die?

Before Xiao Jinyan could react, he saw the long arrow pass through the top of his head, and with a clang, it pierced into the city wall, revealing the tail of an arrow, trembling continuously.

It's not about killing him, it's about helping him!

Xiao Jinyan was overjoyed in his heart, and when his internal strength was about to be exhausted, he grabbed the long arrow with his right hand, jumped with his strength, and climbed onto the city.

He glanced back.

A young man in black armor, with narrow eyes, squinted at him, Xiao Jinyan felt a little familiar.

The young man looked aloof, looking to be in his early twenties. The appearance is handsome, and the body exudes a cold and arrogant momentum.

Passing the book?

Xiao Jinyan recognized him, who was the second-ranked messenger among the four guards of the Dengwen Academy that year. Among the four major guards, only his archery skills have such attainments.

The last time I saw him was seven years ago, when I was a teenager, and I didn't expect to grow so big in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that he had joined the Praetorian Army.

The book looked at him and looked out of the palace.

Xiao Jinyan did not hesitate and came out of the wall.

Another general of the forbidden army said, "Master Chuanshu, you have a peerless shot, and you have always had no missed arrows, why didn't this arrow kill him?"

Chuanshu glanced at him coldly, "I added a prediction, I didn't expect him to be snakeskinned." ”

The general said, "You don't think of the friendship of the same house back then, and deliberately shield this person, right?"

Chuanshu said in a deep voice, "Do you want to continue chasing, or do you want to reason with me here?"

When the general heard this, he said, "Chase!"

......

Out of the palace, the people of the three major battalions and the five cities of the Terracotta Division outside, the overall level is a little different, with his general realm, it is easy to avoid their pursuit, but there are many people on the other side, and a checkpoint has already been set up at the intersection.

He released the string force, dodged several waves of people, came to an alley, heard the pursuers in front and behind, saw that there was a mansion here, and went directly over the wall.

The people in the mansion had already been woken up by the soldiers and horses on the street, and several rooms were lit with candles, Xiao Jinyan looked up at the plaque, which turned out to be the embassy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Looking around, more than a dozen Northern Zhou warriors surrounded him in the middle, looking at this trespasser with unkind eyes.

Tuoba Lanruo waved her hand, the Northern Zhou warrior retreated, and she smiled, "Xiao Daxia, it's really fateful." ”

There was a knock at the door.

A steward went out and opened the door.

Listening to the leader outside the door, he said, "We are the officers and soldiers of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, and we have been ordered to come to arrest the assassins who entered the palace to assassinate. ”

The steward said, "What does the official mean is that our Northern Zhou embassy has sent someone into the palace to assassinate the emperor of your Ming Dynasty?"

The leader panicked, ?" It was not meant that way, but we saw that the man had entered the alley and then disappeared, and he was concerned about the safety of the messenger, so he came to inspect it. ”

Tuoba Lanruo came to the door and asked, "The security of our Northern Zhou embassy is naturally the responsibility of the Northern Zhou, do you mean that our Northern Zhou warriors can't deal with it?"

"This ......"

"Coincidentally, tomorrow I will enter the palace to see Concubine Pei Guifei and talk to her. “

This is the embassy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, legally speaking, the embassy belongs to the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although they have recently lost the battle, they have no confidence, but it is not something that he dares to provoke a small captain of the Soldiers and Horses, especially when I heard that the new female envoy who came recently has a very hard relationship in the palace, on the one hand, it is the duty, on the other hand, he does not dare to come hard, and he is entangled.

After struggling for a long time, he said, "Don't dare." If the embassy sees a suspicious person, our soldiers and horses are at the corner of the alley and can support them at any time. ”

"There is labor. ”

After that, he led his soldiers and horses to search elsewhere, and arranged for several people to guard the intersection of the alley to track down suspicious people.

"Xiao Daxia has made such a big disturbance in the palace, it is better to come to the room for a cup of tea before leaving. ”

Xiao Jinyan had no other way, followed Tuoba Lanruo to her study, someone brought tea and retreated, and closed the door.

"Now that the officers and soldiers in the capital are chasing and killing you, it is safest here. ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Why did you save me?"

"I said, I want to work with you. Tuoba Lan said, "You save your people, I will do my business." ”

"I'm of no use to you, and I don't see any need for cooperation. ”

Tuoba Lanruo smiled, "That's just what you think." For us in Northern Zhou, Xiao Jinyan who is alive is much more useful than Xiao Jinyan who is dead. ”

She added, "You are injured, if you don't heal your wounds, I'm afraid you will hurt your lungs." ”

Xiao Jinyan sat down and used his skills to heal his wounds. The slap just now was too domineering, with Xiao Jinyan's cultivation, he had no power to fight back, and he didn't know who this person was, thinking of the strength in the palace, he was a little afraid.

Half an hour later, Xiao Jinyan's luck was two weeks, and seventy or eighty percent of his injuries had recovered, and he opened his eyes and saw Tuoba Lanruo staring at him.

"I didn't expect that your martial arts are quite special. ”

"Do you know martial arts?"

Tuoba Lanruo shook his head, "Fighting is something that only rough people do, and I have no interest in martial arts. We can talk. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Dare to ask how old the girl is?"

"Guess?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at her, "It looks very small, but when it comes to talking and doing things, it is very old-fashioned." I couldn't guess. ”

Tuoba Lanruo said, "The old man's eighteen-year-old girl has an eighty-year-old soul in her heart. ”

"You crossed over?"

Tuoba Lan was on fire, "You just crossed over, do you understand the metaphor?" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt a little funny.

The two looked at each other and laughed, without the sense of restraint they had before.

Tuoba Lanruo asked, "The Daming Palace is heavily guarded, we have sent people in there over the years, and every time there is no return, I am more curious, how did you escape?"

"First this, then that, and then they ran out while they weren't looking. ”

Tuoba Lanruo said again, "How are your martial arts skills better than Dean Li?"

"I'm not as good as him. ”

"He can't escape with his martial arts, why did you escape?"

This sentence reminded Xiao Jinyan that since entering the palace today, he has met a number of masters one after another, Mr. Ping, Yuxi Daoist, and Chuanshu, everyone is not weak, and the old man in the Taoist robe, he can't even catch a move, not to mention, there are three thousand forbidden troops guarding him, why did he just run out?

Tuoba Lanruo didn't dwell on this issue, and went straight to the point, "I have something that I need your help with." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I told you, the purpose of this trip is to get back the fairy ditch from Daming, the negotiations in the embassy were very difficult before, and you are Dean Li's junior brother and Yuwen Tianlu's quasi-son-in-law, there are some things that can help. ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly, "One is imprisoned, and the other is designated as a national thief, the girl must think too highly of Xiao, right?"

Tuoba Lanruo said, "You also underestimate Dean Li and Yuwen Tianlu too much, right? These two are geniuses of Tianzhong, and the two of them are in the imperial court, turning clouds and rain, which makes my Great Zhou very uncomfortable, do you think that with their wisdom, there will be no backhand in the capital at all?"

Xiao Jinyan was shocked in his heart, remembered the word Li Chuntie wrote in his hand, and thought again, the old guy has always been careful in doing things, but this time His Majesty rectified him, and it seemed that he had no power to fight back at all, this is not his style? At least, in the years he commanded the Dengwen Academy, there were still many loyal people who worked for him. As for Yuwen Tianlu, if he can be as famous as Li Chuntie, it is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will not be uprooted so simply, right?

"How do you know that the imperial court will return the fairy ditch to you?"

Tuoba Lanruo said, "If you don't want to return it, Xue Huai should be in the northern Xinjiang at the moment, not the capital." Although the emperor of my Great Zhou Dynasty is young, the government is controlled by traitorous ministers, and there are countless ministers, but if you really fight, the strategic depth is extremely long, and the winter is bitter cold, and you Ming Dynasty is not sure to take it at all. So, when you see it, you can get it. ”

"In that case, just talk about it. ”

Tuoba Lanruo said, "First, return the fairy ditch, and second, no compensation." Third, if you have the chance, help us kill Tuoba Climb. ”

"All the good things are for you. ”

"No way, who made me his master?" Thinking of the little emperor, there was a hint of concern in her eyes, she was not in Shangjing, I wonder if he could handle the treacherous and cunning regent?

Xiao Jinyan asked, "How can I help you?"

"The negotiation is in charge of Lu Guogong, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are specifically sponsored, and we would like to ask you to come out and start with Lu Guogong. ”

"You can do this kind of thing, why do you have to be me?"

Tuoba Lanruo smiled, "Your father-in-law fell and Dean Li was imprisoned, these are all obstructions made by Lu Guogong, you can do it, the reason is more reasonable, and it will not involve us." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "The girl is very calculating. ”

"Zhang Shubao, the only son of Lu Guogong, is idle and causes trouble everywhere in the city, you can do kung fu on him. ”

Xiao Jinyan scratched his head, "We swear we won't do this kind of business again." ”

"I didn't say kill him. ”

Tuoba Lan Ruo said, "It's not too early, you will be wronged in the study tonight, if you don't want to wronged yourself, I can also call two maids to warm your bed, just remember this favor, you always owe me." ”

Xiao Jinyan waved his hand, "No need." ”

Tuoba Lanruo smiled and said, "Our girls in the Northern Zhou are very open. ”

"Why didn't I see you being so open?"

Babbling.

Luo shirt is all understood.

The room is full of fragrance.

Xiao Jinyan said, "What are you doing here?"

Tuoba Lan took two steps forward, came to him, tilted his head, and sighed, "What do you say?"

Xiao Jinyan smelled the girlish fragrance emanating from her body, a little confused, and was about to reach out to touch her chin, but couldn't help but be clever, "Xiao Jinyan, what's wrong with you?"

took two steps back, "Excuse me, I'm seriously injured and haven't healed, so let's take a rest." ”

He added, "Next time, if you want to drug me, change to a stronger one." After that, he came to the door of the study and opened the door for her, "Girl, please!"

Tuoba Lan saw that the plan did not succeed, and walked out with a red face, she was so hot that she only felt a flame burning in her heart, and instructed the maid, "Prepare two buckets of ice water for me, be fast!"?
