Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Palace Assassins
The moon at night sprinkled a ray of light on the world, and at this time, in the imperial city passage leading to Taiji Palace, a man and a woman were walking slowly in silver moonlight.
A breeze blew in the empty passage, blowing the voices of the two people, and the male voice was the first to say: "Such a beautiful day, you must have a drink with the imperial sister after you go back in a while, you can come together, the three of us haven't been together for a long time." β
As soon as the man's voice fell, he heard the woman reply softly, "Yes." β
This man and a woman are none other than Zhou Shaoan and Zhou Jing who came back from Prince Rui's mansion.
Zhou Shao'an gained a lot today, not only found the address of the construction of the Jinyi Wei General Office, but also met Uncle Fuye, found the secret book left by his mother, and learned some of the original plot.
So he was in a very good mood, and he was also interested in flirting with Zhou Jingla, looking at Zhou Jing's shy and twisted posture, Zhou Shao'an couldn't help but feel a burst of hair in his heart.
Seeing that a decisive modern version of Mulan turned into this little daughter in front of him, Zhou Shaoan said that he couldn't accept it. I wanted to change the topic, but who knew that it would become a joke when I opened my mouth.
Zhou Shaoan secretly patted his mouth, why can't you control your own mouth so much? I want to tease everything when I see it, and the licking dog attribute has awakened? You must know that you are a prince now, you must pay attention to reserve, reserved.
In fact, Zhou Jing means to herself, Zhou Shaoan is not a fool, of course he can see it. If he hadn't met Wu Yishu before, I'm afraid he would have agreed to Zhou Jing a long time ago. It's just that he has already had a five-year appointment with Wu Yishu, and he can't tolerate anyone else in his heart anymore.
Seeing Zhou Jing's expression, Zhou Shaoan decided to explain the situation to Zhou Jing and explain his five-year appointment with Wu Yishu. It's just that when he saw Zhou Jing looking at him, he was a little cringe. After secretly cheering himself up in his heart, Zhou Shaoan said: "Zhou Jing, I have something to tell you, about you and my ......"
Zhou Shaoan was just about to open his mouth to explain the situation to Zhou Jing, only to hear a sudden shout from the palace: "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin." β
Zhou Shao'an and Zhou Jing were shocked and couldn't care about the ban, and the two of them used their cultivation at the same time to go to the place where the call came, but Zhou Jing went directly to the sword. Zhou Shaoan was bouncing and running, and when they fell together, they were not inferior to Zhou Jing's speed. It's just that at this time, Zhou Jing was concerned about the safety of Her Majesty the Empress, so she didn't pay much attention to Zhou Shao'an's speed.
Just two breaths, the two of them came to the scene of the cry almost at the same time. I saw that the guards outside the Taiji Palace stood outside, raising their bows and arrows, but fortunately, when Zhou Shaoan and Zhou Jing appeared, the leading guards recognized the two in time and were not allowed to release arrows. Otherwise, these special arrows, all shot by the masters of the foundation building period, would make them embarrassed even if they couldn't kill Zhou Shao'an and the others in the first place.
"What's going on?" At this time, Zhou Shao'an was not easy to reveal his true identity in front of everyone, so Zhou Jing opened his mouth first and asked the leader at the door here.
How could the leading guard not know Zhou Jing, seeing that it was her who opened her mouth to ask, he hurriedly stepped forward and took a few steps. Then he whispered to Zhou Jing and said, "Grand Commander Qiyu, an assassin broke into the palace half an hour ago, and we chased after him after he was discovered. Who knew that this person's cultivation was extremely high, and we couldn't stop him, and he actually broke into the Taiji Palace and disturbed the holy driver. The subordinates are incompetent, and the crime deserves death, and the commander is also asked to punish him. β
"A group of waste, what about the stabbing guests?" Zhou Jing was shocked and frightened when she heard this, and she didn't care about entanglement with this group of people, she just scolded the waste, and asked directly where the assassin went.
Zhou Shao'an on the side was also surprised, and hurriedly looked at the leader, hoping to tell the whereabouts of the assassin from his mouth.
It's just that this person is squirming at this time, and seems to be a little unsure of what to say, and is going back and forth there.
Zhou Shaoan was worried about his sister's safety, and when he saw this person twisting like this, he didn't say where the assassin went, and he was instantly anxious. went up directly and pinched his neck, and roared angrily: "Say it quickly, or Lao Tzu will kill you." β
The surrounding Ouchi guards saw a strange man who suddenly pinched the commander by the neck and lifted him, "Brush, brush, brush." All the bows and arrows were directed towards Zhou Shao'an.
When Zhou Jing saw this situation, she glared at her and scolded loudly: "What are you doing? After scolding many guards, she took over the little leader from Zhou Shao'an's hands, and after "snapping" two palms, she shouted again: "Tell Lao Tzu quickly." β
It's just that this time she didn't wait for her to say, and saw the eyes of all the guards looking at Zhou Jing's back in unison.
Zhou Jing shouted strangely, casually threw down the little leader in her hand, and looked back. I saw that the door of the Taiji Palace was wide open, and two people came out of the door.
One is a man in a night suit, and the other is Zhou Weiyang in a dragon robe pajamas. At this time, the two came out of the gate of Taiji Palace together.
Everyone was shocked for a while, and Zhou Shaoan spoke first: "Sister Wang, who is this person, why are you here late at night?"
Zhou Weiyang came out at this time to see the situation outside the door, waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and after seeing everyone retreat, Zhou Weiyang said: "This Taoist friend has something to discuss with me, but it is a confidential matter, and it is not easy for outsiders to know, so he came in this way." β
didn't wait for Zhou Shao'an to react, but he heard a hoarse voice coming from under the hat wearing a night suit and a black hat on the opposite side.
I only heard the hoarse voice just say to Zhou Weiyang: "Your Majesty, since you already know about this matter, then I will leave." Let's get in touch later. β
Zhou Weiyang looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll let Zhou Jing take you out, otherwise it won't be easy for you to go out of the Inner Palace." β
"Hahaha, this world is so big, although there are many places I can't go, but this palace, if I want to go, as long as Your Majesty doesn't open the Great Array of Protectors, I can still come and go freely. Your Majesty takes care and takes your leave. After speaking, before Zhou Weiyang could speak again, he saw a jade ruler appear under his feet, and it disappeared into the night in an instant.
Zhou Shaoan just stared at the jade ruler under this person's feet and was stunned, vaguely feeling that this jade ruler was somewhat familiar. It's just that for a moment, I can't remember where I've seen it.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang?" Seeing Zhou Shao'an in a daze looking in the direction of the masked man who was flying away from the imperial envoy jade ruler, Zhou Weiyang shook his arm and shouted softly.
"Uh. What's the matter?" Zhou Shaoan asked blankly after being shaken back to his senses.
"Eh, what's wrong with you? I ask why you're only coming back now?" Seeing that Zhou Weiyang didn't mention the person just now, he just changed the topic and asked himself why he came back now. Zhou Shaoan knew that the so-called confidentiality of the person just now must be very important, otherwise with Zhou Weiyang's relationship with herself, she would not deliberately change the topic.
It's just that since my sister doesn't want to say it, there must be a reason why she doesn't want to say it, and she shouldn't ask her too much. So he smiled and said, "Haha, it's Brother Wang's fault, I'm late when I come back." But ......"
Seeing that Brother Wang stopped talking halfway through, Zhou Weiyang said coquettishly: "Brother Wang, I hate Γ²αΊΓ³." But what, you're going to say?"
Seeing his sister's cute expression, Zhou Shaoan completely threw the scene just now in Java. He continued: "But I have already chosen where to build the Jinyi Guard, and now I just need to wait for the rebuilding of the General Office and the selection of personnel. β
Just when Zhou Shao'an's brother and sister were talking to each other about how to choose people, outside the palace. The man in black who flew out with the jade ruler got down from the jade ruler, took off the hat, and revealed his face.
If Yuyangzi was here at this time, he would definitely be shocked. It turned out that the man in black who was wearing a black night suit and a hat on his head, and broke into the palace at night unscathed was none other than him. It was his own son who gave him the news, Hu Wei.
It's just that it's so late, but Hu Wei appeared in the palace at this time, what does he have to do with Zhou Weiyang?
And after all, so many innocent people have died here, Zhou Shaoan is afraid that living here is haunted, although he no longer has to be afraid of ghosts when he cultivates now, but it is his nature to be afraid of ghosts. It has nothing to do with the level of cultivation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoan told Uncle Fuye of his decision to directly tear down the palace and rebuild, hoping that he could support him.
After listening to Zhou Shao'an's decision, Foye laughed softly: "Hehe, it's okay." There is too much bleeding in this place, and it is a good move to tear down and rebuild, An'er is doing a great thing, let it go. β
