A month ago - the Great Dynasty Wangji

Thousands of torches flickered in the night, and the clashing of Jin Ge's armor broke the silence of the night.

The army was in unison, and soon it was on a hillside.

At the foot of the hill is a huge city, the city wall is about 20 zhang high, very majestic.

But at this moment, the gate that was supposed to be closed was opened.

In the procession, a middle-aged man wearing gold armor and a resolute and fierce face rode to the front, condescendingly, looking at the vast and magnificent palace group in the center of the city, like a dragon lying prone in the dark night, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Then he raised his arm slightly and pointed at the city.

With his finger, those stubborn soldiers rushed to the city gate like fierce ghosts.

It didn't take long for the silence in the city to be broken, and the roars and cries filled all corners of the city for a while.

Then, the magnificent palace in the center was ablaze with flames, accompanied by thick black smoke, which lit up the sky.

Blood splattered on the steps, corpses stacked one on top of the other, and Zhucui was trampled to pieces, buried in the blood-stained dirt.

The middle-aged man stepped on the corpses all over the ground, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he walked slowly into the palace.

The palace was pitch black, full of corpses, the fallen palace lights had long since been extinguished, the carpet was soaked in blood, and the whole palace was in chaos.

On the golden chair in the center, a richly dressed young man stared wide-eyed, tilted there, vomiting blood from the corner of his mouth, and was silent.

The man came to the child, raised his robe behind him, put his right hand on his chest, and knelt down towards the corpse.

"Minister, knock to your majesty!"

The middle-aged man grinned, and in the faint moonlight, his smile was even more terrifying than that of a ghost.

The flames burned the sky, the panic was sharp and piercing, and the flag on the palace wall fell rapidly under the burning of the fire.

In the sky, a purple star fell.

A month later - the castle tower

The hall master carefully read the contents of the paper scroll several times, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

She raised her head and looked at the eldest grandson Jing and Xiangguo at the bottom of the stairs, her face solemn.

"The one in the Great Dynasty was killed. The hall master said softly.

As soon as these words came out, in addition to the completely unaware Xiangguo, who was taken aback, the eldest grandson Jing on the side was not shocked and had already fallen into deep thought.

"Hall Master, what's going on?" Xiang Guo hurriedly asked.

"The little emperor, together with a few loyal ministers, wanted to weaken the various forces, and took measures a year ago. The hall master said, "You remember this." ”

"Remember," Sangkook nodded.

After that, the monarch of Luan next to him threatened to punish the rebellious ministers, and the Qing monarch side, raised a large army and drove all the way forward, and finally occupied the main palace, and the rebels killed the little emperor on the throne, and the blood splashed on the screen. ”

"This is not the end, Luan Guo burned the main palace to the ground, called the emperor crazy, and died of self-immolation. The hall lord sighed and said, "The hall lord has already led part of his troops towards the capital with other forces, and God only knows what will happen next." ”

After that, Xiangguo sat back in his chair and nodded solemnly.

What had always felt like it was going to happen, finally happened.

In fact, for them, it didn't matter if the puppet monarch of the Great Dynasty died or not, the Great Dynasty had already existed in name only, and had completely lost its actual dominance over the forces within the realm.

But with his death, the Great Dynasty really fell, and the ancient family as a royal family must have suffered a bloodbath, and with the end of this massacre, the fig leaf that had been torn off was torn off.

This is also the situation that all the forces that are already ready to move and are eyeing the tiger most want to see.

The competition between the parties had already begun when the knife slashed at the little emperor.

That's what they're really worried about.

However, it is also an opportunity for the Yuan Palace.

Next, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, a bureaucrat or a king, as long as they are living beings in the realm, they will be swept into this whirlpool, and no one will be spared.

The entire realm is bound to be turbulent and earth-shaking changes.

God, it's changed.

At this time, Xing Zhen and the others' room.

Xing Xuan pondered about yesterday's events and didn't have a clue.

He didn't expect that the man in black would successfully escape?

In this way, things are even more complicated, I heard that most of the people in black who were caught were either seriously injured and died or committed suicide, even if there were a few who were afraid of death, their identities were just minions, and they didn't know much useful things.

I just heard that they are the Yuan people and bandits at the foot of Beicheng Mountain, the kind that are extremely vicious, murderous and robber.

They did not know why, but their boss would lead them into the city and cause them to burn, only telling them that if the order was done, they would be given a great reward.

"It's all a bit of a salty clue. Xing Xuan said with a sigh.

"It's not salty for you to continue to worry. Amun, who was reading on the side, mocked him.

"Why?" Xing Zhen frowned.

"Look, we also know who assassinated us, it wasn't us who rushed at us, it was Yuandian, and this matter is no longer beyond our control. ”

"Having said that, after all, so many people are involved. Xing Xuan said, "It is said that because of this incident, the Yuan Hall has dispatched a lot of people, and it is already a mess. ”

"That's right, we can't manage the current situation if we want to, you might as well think of something else, such as Kuicheng. Amon said.

"We've only been out of Kuicheng for a week, and Qianyun shouldn't have achieved anything. Xing Yu thought for a while and said, his eyes fell on the delicate jade hairpin, "If you think in a different direction, I have a new idea." ”

At this time - Kuicheng

The door was slowly pushed open, like an old man on the verge of death, and the piercing creak was extremely uncomfortable in the hearts of the people.

The dust and cobwebs on the beams of the house fell to the ground, and the mice in the shadows suddenly saw the light and ran in all directions.

Qianyun glanced inside the courtyard.

The deserted compound was already overgrown with weeds, and the broken window lattices hung there, and the wind blew and creaked.

He looked up at the wild cats scurrying around on the eaves, and walked in silence.

In the past, the scene of the Wu family was still in front of me, and compared with the deserted mansion in front of me, it was embarrassing.

Soon, he cleared the overgrown weeds and entered the main hall.

Tables and chairs were crooked, and there were broken porcelain tiles on the floor, and a little light laboriously passed through the dusty window lattice, bringing a faint light to the gloomy hall.

In addition to the big "Virtuous Load" plaque on the top, there is nothing left here to prove that a wealthy family once lived here.

Qian Yun didn't come here to sigh, after entering the main hall, he began to search around, trying to find something useful.

It was also a helpless move to come here, what he didn't expect was that the residents of Kuicheng were extremely jealous of this matter, and they were very uncooperative, and they didn't collect much useful information in the past few days.

Qianyun hurriedly walked forward, cautiously looking around.

He came to a Bogu shelf, and there were no furnishings on it for a long time, but Qianyun still wanted to try his luck and groped for it carefully.

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the air in the quiet room, and several short arrows shot rapidly towards Qianyun's back.

Seeing that the short arrows were about to hit the back of Qianyun's heart and head, at this moment, time and space were distorted, and a human figure appeared in front of those short arrows.

The man pushed his right hand forward, and a gust of palm wind struck out, and the short arrows seemed to be stuck to something, stagnated in mid-air, and turned into powder in an instant.

Qianyun was also startled by the sudden sound behind him, and quickly turned around.

"Don't run!" the visitor shouted, and a piece of Yuan Force condensed into an arrow, heading straight for the gray corner.

Suddenly, with a few ripples of Yuan Li, the debris there was violently swept away, making a violent sound of "ding".

Qianyun clearly saw that a black shadow burst out of the window, and a few bits of blood dripped on the ground, slowly fainting.

Even if the man was wounded, he was in excellent condition, and before they could run over to observe, the man had already climbed the eaves and disappeared.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving your life. Qianyun bowed, but he was a few meters away from the hooded man, and his eyes were fixed on the man, and he was quite cautious.

It's no wonder that Qianyun is cautious, this kind of deserted house where the former owner was sentenced to be beheaded is quite feared, and ordinary people hate to stay as far away from this deserted mansion as possible, how can anyone else be willing to come here?

"Don't be afraid, lad. The man took out a jug of wine from his waist and took a big sip, "I'm here to help you, you're a subordinate of that kid from Xingxuan, right?"

"Who are you? Hearing this, Qianyun's heart sank, and he asked more cautiously.

"The nine rivers are crossed by boats, and a mountain is more than a mountain. ”

Hearing these fourteen words, Qianyun hurriedly surrendered his hand: "You are finally willing to appear." ”

“......... How does this sound weird, it's really Xingxi's stinky boy's subordinates. The man snorted coldly.

"Well, I'm just a little excited. Qianyun hurriedly explained.

"Come on, I just wanted to watch from the sidelines, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to come out and assassinate. The man subconsciously glanced at the corner where the assassin was hiding just now, "It seems that that kid Xing Xuan is really thoughtful." ”

The man turned his head, his hood was pulled very low, Qianyun couldn't see his face clearly, and could only tell from his rough voice that this was a middle-aged uncle, and he had a decisive personality and a short temper.

With that, the two began to rummage around the house for suspicious things, hoping to find something.

Not to mention, I really let Qianyun find it.

He fumbled around, finding a button on a statue of the beast that couldn't be moved in the side room.

"Senior, come and see. Qianyun immediately exclaimed.

The man rushed over when he heard the sound, looked at Qianyun and nodded.

The Yuan Force on that person's body condensed in front of him, enveloping the statue in a group.

Qianyun wiped the sweat from her forehead, and after getting the man's instructions, she pressed the button hard.

I only heard a few sounds, and the statue sitting on the platform turned around automatically.

The dull sound of "Buzz~Click" was followed by a crisp click, and the platform sank a foot, and a dark box appeared in front of the two of them.

There was no trap they expected, and Qianyun immediately let out a sigh of relief.

In that box, there was a delicate token and a scroll made of mahogany.

The man slowly took out the two items in the box and examined them carefully with Qianyun.

"Embroidery Palace?" the two of them read out the jade inscription on the token in confusion and looked at each other.

On the other side - Tianyou County City Yixin Museum

On the bustling street, a pair of black leather boots stopped.

He looked across the street at the brightly lit green building, where a few prostitutes were smiling outside, or laughing and playing with those who were about to leave, and asked for a few yuan leaves from him at the end.

Xing Xuan hesitated and walked towards the Pleasant Heart Pavilion.

Before Xing Xuan stepped on the steps of the Pleasant Heart Pavilion, a woman with scantily dressed clothes and watery poplars rushed up with a smile and put her hand on Xing Xuan's shoulder.

"Yo, whose son is this, born so handsome, you see which sister is more in line with your taste tonight, she must let her, serve you well. ”

The corners of Xingyu's mouth twitched sharply, and she removed the arm.

He said slowly, "I'm looking for Ying Chenji." ”

Those prostitutes were shocked when they heard this, and then they looked at each other, discussed a lot, and looked Xing Zhen up and down.

Immediately, the prostitutes put away their pretentiousness, and one of them even politely said, "Please come with me." ”

Hearing this, Xing Zhen followed the prostitute.

They entered the Yixin Pavilion, where the lights were blooming, and the sounds of laughter, piano, singing and dancing were endless, which was more lively than the outside.

The prostitute led Xing Xuan to an old woman who was carving melon seeds and enjoying the song and dance, and whispered a few words in front of the old woman.

Hearing this, the old woman threw the melon seeds in her hand back on the plate, tilted her head and said, "Which distinguished guest wants to see Miss Ying?"

Although she had her back to Xing Xuan, with this tone alone, Xing Xuan could imagine the image of the old bustard.

A graceful and fat old woman rolled her eyes, glanced at the corners of her mouth, her face was disdainful and impatient, and her mind was full of money!

"Why don't you speak?" the old bustard turned his head with some curiosity and looked at Xing Zhen, "Well, he looks very handsome, which family's son is it, right?

Sure enough, as Xingxuan expected, the old bustard looked ugly, still holding a cigarette gun in his hand, looking at people with his heels, and his eyes were full of shrewdness and Yuanye.

"The first time I came down, I didn't know. Xing Xuan arched his hand.

"Oh? The old bustard suddenly laughed, "No wonder you dare to click on the sign of Yingchen Ji when you come for the first time." ”

After that, the old bustard looked at the prostitute who was supporting her beside her: "You come to tell this son, the rules of the Pleasant Heart Pavilion." ”

After saying that, the old bustard sat back down and began to enjoy the song and dance in front of him.

"Childe, Miss Ying is the top brand of our Yixin Pavilion, and she is also the Oiran of this Tianyou County, just to make an appointment with you, you need hundreds of red yuan leaves, if Miss Ying likes you, it's good to say, if you can't look at it, these hundreds of red yuan leaves will be lost. The girl explained, twisting her waist and stepping forward, "Therefore, the slave advises the son, it is better to spend this money on the sisters, who will serve you well." ”

Xing Xuan ignored the prostitute and walked straight behind the bustard.

At this moment, several sturdy men scattered on the stairs looked here, and looked at Xing Zhen with ferocity in their eyes.

"Childe, this is the Pleasant Heart Pavilion, if you mess around, no one will be able to protect you. The old bustard took a sip of tea indifferently and said without looking back.

"You are mistaken. Xing Zhen arched his hand and smiled, "First, I don't have any money, and second, I'm not the son of a certain family who came here to have fun." ”

The old bustard turned his head when he heard this, and looked at Xing Zhen with a frown.

The men upstairs were holding sticks, and they were already rushing towards Xingxuan.

"I'm here to find Miss Ying. As he spoke, Xing Xuan smiled and took out the jade hairpin.
