In the dead of night in the Forbidden City of Beijing, a court official was walking in a corridor in the palace, and suddenly a lightning bolt in the night sky "boom!" A loud sound slid down, and on the high wall behind the official, a woman's figure flashed.

"Who?!" the official immediately looked back, but there was no one above the high wall.

At this time, he didn't notice that the woman had quietly appeared behind him, just as he turned around, the woman suddenly raised the sword in her hand and stabbed it head-on, the gray bronze sword directly penetrated the official's body, blood flowed down the wound, the official looked up and saw the woman's appearance clearly, this person was none other than the black-haired Qiuyuan Dark Snow.

"You............ It's ............"

Before the officer could finish speaking, he choked his breath, and then an officer and soldier came over, and when he saw the scene of the assassination, he immediately panicked and shouted: "Oh no, there are assassins!"

After the lightning flashed across the night sky, with the help of the faint moonlight, Qiuyuan Dark Snow slowly turned her head, only to see that her face was still stained with the blood stains on the official's body, and the officers and soldiers who arrived saw the woman's appearance clearly, and then saw that Qiuyuan Dark Snow suddenly dropped a ecstasy bullet in his hand and flew away, and a large number of officers and soldiers searched around the palace overnight but still made no progress.

The incident of assassins in the imperial palace in the capital alarmed the imperial court, and the saint sent a message to the whole city to search for the assassins who were responsible. According to the testimony of the officer who witnessed the assassination, the appearance of the assassin had been drawn, and the portrait was pasted on the bulletin board and inside the entrance and exit of the city gate, and the officers and soldiers who defended the city also strictly screened the people entering and leaving the city.

At the same time, Qiu Yuanxue, Xing Yuxiang, and Xingyu Yege finally crossed the sea of green forests, but when they came to the gate of the capital, they saw a long queue of crowded civilians, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city screened the bags and items in the hands of the people one by one, and there were portrait notices posted at the gate of the city.

"Why are there so many people up there? When will this ......?"

Xingyu Yege muttered impatiently.

"There's no way, looking at the notice posted on the city wall in the distance, it seems that something big has happened in the capital. ”

Xing Yuxiang looked at the front for a while and said helplessly.

“...... I think it should be a very important thing, otherwise there would not be such a strict screening of people entering the city. ”

At this time, a villager carrying a grain sack in the front row said to the man behind him: "Hey, do you see the notice posted in front? It seems that there has been a murder in the capital, and the official who was killed is an official of the imperial court. ”

"So serious...... I thought the capital should be a very safe place, how could there be assassins......"

"And I heard from the people in front of me that the assassin was a woman, and there was no portrait of him, and he looked quite young...... Why do you want to do such a thing? ”

"Female Assassin...... Could it be a bandit in this neighborhood?"

"It's unclear where the female assassin came from, but I'm sure the court will be able to catch her sooner or later. ”

After hearing the conversation of the villagers in front of her, Qiu Yuanxue thought in her heart: "There is actually a murder in the capital...... What the hell is going on?......"

"Brother, it's not a way to line up like this, if you don't want to squeeze to the front to have a look. ”

“...... Well, I'll find a way to check it out. ”

Xing Yuxiang looked in the direction of the city gate in front of him, and saw an official sitting on a chair at the city gate resting

"Huh, why is that official at the front door so familiar......

"Oh...... Come to think of it, isn't that Lord Liu, who often comes to my father's house as a guest...... Maybe he'll know something......"

So, Xing Yuxiang walked to the front, and he deliberately cut in line in the crowd to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers defending the city.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm in front, and someone is cutting in line!"

"Well, I'm in a hurry, I just want to see what happened, waiting in line for so long. ”

"You kid, why don't you line up and go forward? ”

"Hey, don't be impulsive. ”

In this way, Xing Yuxiang was dragged out by two officers and soldiers and forcibly brought to Lord Liu.

"Lord Liu, this kid is not good at queuing up and disrupting the order. ”

At this time, Xing Yuxiang saw Lord Liu and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, it's me!" ”

"Ah Xiang, what kind of wind is blowing you? Lord Liu, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly stood up in surprise when he heard this.

"Come on, sit down, Ah Xiang, is your father okay?"

"Alas...... There was some accident, Qinghe Town was destroyed by demon beasts, and my father was also sacrificed......" Xing Yuxiang said with a deep sigh.

"What...... That kind of thing actually happened in Qinghe Town...... Alas, I didn't expect General Xingyu to actually... Alas..."

"Uncle Liu, I want to ask, what's going on here? I have my sister and a friend who happened to be passing by here and wanted to inquire. ”

"Alas, there has been a murder in the palace of the capital recently, and officials have been killed one after another, this is not a female assassin who killed, the Holy Lord has ordered the whole city to arrest the murderer. ”

Master Liu pointed to the portrait notice posted on the city wall and said.

At this time, Xing Yuxiang looked in the direction of his finger, it didn't matter what he saw, he was also taken aback, and his eyes widened and he said: "This portrait ......"

"What? Ah Xiang is not ...... Do you know the woman in the portrait?" Lord Liu asked as he looked at Xing Yuxiang's expression and became a little stern.

"Ah, no, no...... I didn't know the person who painted the portrait, but my sister was still calling me over there, so I hurried back. ”

"Oh, it's okay, Ah Xiang, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, you go over first, don't let your sister wait. ”

"Yes, then Uncle Liu, I will leave. ”

At this time, Xing Yuxiang's heart was very anxious, and a sense of anxiety came to his heart, and he thought: "...... Oh no, just look at that portrait...... The more I look at it, the more I look like Miss Qiu, I must tell her about it right away. ”

"Hey, how is it, brother? Why were you taken away by the officers and soldiers just now?"

"Oh it's okay, Yege, you wait in line for me for a while first, I have something to talk to Miss Qiu. ”

"Xing Yuxiang, do you have anything to do with me?"

Qiu Yuanxue asked suspiciously.

Xing Yuxiang pulled Qiu Yuanxue to the outside of the team, whispered to her ear and said, "Miss Qiu, you run away! I saw that the wanted portrait on the city wall was very similar to you, I am afraid that you are in danger, you can hand over the pendant to me, and I will come with my sister to investigate the matter of the sword." ”

"What do you say?! There is a portrait of me on the wall? ”

"Autumn girl!sigh...... But I'm afraid you're in danger...... It's still too late to go. ”

Xing Yuxiang persuaded.

"Thank you Xing Yuxiang for your concern for me, I have always been above board, I have never done anything to be sorry for my conscience, I believe that those officers and soldiers will understand me. ”

"But...... Autumn Girl......"

"Xing Yuxiang, you don't have to persuade me, since someone wants to frame me, how can you not wash your innocence? What's more, I will never let the person who framed me go unpunished. ”

After speaking, Qiu Yuanxue continued to return to the line and lined up.

"Sister Xue, what did you just talk about with your brother?"

"Nothing, just talking about something else......"

Xing Yuxiang also reluctantly returned to the team, and after a while, it was finally the turn of Xing Yuxiang, Yege and Qiu Yuanxue to screen.

A sturdy officer and soldier defending the city looked at Xing Yuxiang and Yege and asked the two, "Where did you guys come from?"

"We came from Kaifeng. ”

Qiu Yuanxue stepped forward and said.

"What is the so-called matter in the capital?"

"Uh...... That one came to visit relatives. ”

Xing Yuxiang hurriedly stepped forward and took over the words.

"What are you talking about, I'm asking this woman, what is the relationship between the two of you?"

“...... She's a friend of mine......" Xing Yuxiang's forehead was already covered with sweat at this time.

At this time, Lord Liu came over and said to the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Hey, he is the son of my dear friend General Xingyu, don't embarrass him." ”

"Oh...... It's ......"

At this time, a thin officer and soldier next to him glanced at the notice and then looked at Qiu Yuanxue, his eyes widened in surprise.

Then the officer and soldier immediately ran to Lord Liu's side and whispered, "Wait, my lord, this woman looks like the one in the portrait." ”

"Oh?......" Lord Liu at this time leaked a very serious expression, he walked up to Qiu Yuanxue and looked at it carefully, and then looked at the notice.

He questioned Qiu Yuanxue, "Girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Qiu Yuanxue. ”

"Okay, good, come on, take her down for me!"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed out from the left and right of the city gate, and they surrounded Qiu Yuanxue one by one with spears and swords.

Xingyu Yege panicked and wanted to rush forward to stop it, "What the hell is going on? Why do you want to catch Sister Xue?"

At this time, the officers and soldiers stopped Ye Ge, and Xing Yuxiang walked to Lord Liu's side and persuaded him: "Uncle Liu, do you have any misunderstanding? ”

"Let her go?...... Hmph! She's the murderer of the imperial court, and you told me to let her go? Ah Xiang, how can you be with this indiscriminate person? And call her a friend?"

"Lord Guan, Sister Xue, she must have been wronged, we just came from Kaifeng, someone must have framed us. ”

"Uncle Liu, I've been with Miss Qiu for a while, my sister and I both believe in her, she also saved the lives of the missing children in Kaifeng, if you don't believe it, you can send a letter to the officials in Kaifeng County to inquire, you can't make a conclusion." ”

"That's enough, you two don't have to plead!

"Official, I think you must have misunderstood, I still have Xing Yuxiang, Sister Yege, we just came here from Kaifeng Mansion, and you identified us as murderers, there must be someone who deliberately framed me, and please investigate clearly. ”

"You don't need to investigate, Qiu Yuanxue, Qiu Yuanxue, you are a young girl, you actually committed such a murderous crime, what crime should you be guilty of?!"

"I haven't committed anything, so what's the crime? I believe that the government will not wronged a good person, but at the same time, it will not spare a bad person. ”

"You still dare to be stubborn until now, okay, I'll convince you and bring the witnesses over!"

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers brought a thin soldier who was guarding the palace to come forward to correct him, and when he saw Qiu Yuanxue for the first time, he immediately opened his eyes in surprise and pointed at her with his fingers: "Yes...... It was her, she was the one who killed the official! I read that night correctly, it was her face...... Huh, how is it different?"

"What's the difference?"

"The woman who stabbed that night had black hair, and hers was white......"

"That's all?"

"That's all for ......"

"Are you sure it's her?"

"Yes, that's her!"

"No way, you're talking nonsense! The night is so dark, how can you be so sure that it was Sister Xue who stabbed you? You must be wrong. Xingyu Yege shouted at the witness.

“...... Brunette's alternate ego ...... Could it be ...... That person ......," Qiu Yuanxue thought to herself.

Xing Yuxiang, who couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, rushed into the encirclement of officers and soldiers to block in front of Qiu Yuanxue, and he said to Miss Qiu: "Miss Qiu, go quickly, I don't want you to be caught by them." ”

At this time, Liu Da was angry and said: "Okay, Xing Yuxiang, if you dare to rebel, I will even arrest you." ”

At this time, Xingyu Yege broke free from the obstruction of the officers and soldiers, and hurriedly ran into the encirclement and said to Qiu Yuanxue: "Sister Xue, you can't stay here anymore, you can leave quickly! I will cover you with my brother!"

"No, Xing Yuxiang and Sister Yege, this is my business, you guys retreat first!"

"But Sister Snow!"

“...... Please step out of the way!"

Qiu Yuanxue said to the two of them resolutely.

In the end, the two still couldn't say anything, Qiu Yuanxue had to withdraw from the encirclement.

"Official, I can go with you, but I believe that there is justice in this world, and you, as an official, should enforce the law impartially, instead of letting the person who framed me go unpunished!"

"Hmph, your tone is not small, when you get to prison, I see that you dare to be arrogant, take me away!"

"Stop me! Don't catch Sister Xue!" Xingyu Yege shouted with tears in his eyes and wanted to rush forward, but Xingyu Xiang grabbed his arm and said, "Yege, you calm down first!"

In this way, Qiu Yuanxue was escorted into the city by a group of officers and soldiers, and the people at the gate were all talking.

"Oh my God, that murderer was in our team just now, and I feel a chill down my back just thinking about it......"

"Isn't it...... Alas, I think that girl is very young and beautiful, how could she commit such a thing...... Alas. ”

At this time, Xingyu Yege said loudly to the crowd: "You are all wrong!! Miss Qiu is a good person, and the government has arrested the wrong person! I dare to use my personality to guarantee that she is definitely not a murderer!"

"Then do you have any evidence? Just now, the officials have witness testimony. ”

A man in the crowd questioned Night Song.

"We have evidence, if you don't believe it, you can go to Kaifeng to inquire, Sister Xue, she rescued a lot of missing children in Kaifeng Mansion, and we just came to Kaifeng, and we came here through the sea of green forests on the way. ”

“...... Hey, I heard that there is indeed such a thing in Kaifeng, there are a lot of children lost, and finally it was saved by a female knight......"

"I've heard of it too......"

Everyone present began to talk again, at this time Xing Yuxiang stood up and said to everyone: "I can also prove what my sister said, Miss Qiu, her character is upright, she has always been above board, my sister and I have seen all this, and it is the capital that I went to with my sister, Miss Qiu was framed by thieves, it is impossible for her to kill." ”

"That makes sense......

Then an officer and soldier came in and said, "What are you shouting here? ”

Then the crowd dispersed, and Xingyu Yege cried and asked Xingyuxiang: "What should I do?

"Don't cry night songs, I'm trying to figure out a way to ......"

At this time, He Jing's voice suddenly came: "Oops...... I've only been away for a while, and I'm in this big trouble. ”

I saw He Jing playing the flute and walking out of the wreath passage that was summoned.

"He Jing! Great, you quickly find a way to save Miss Qiu, she was captured by the officers and soldiers. ”

"Yes, please Sister He Jing. ”

"I said, 'Guys, should we...... Smash the prison and rob the prison?"

At the same time, ten miles away from the capital, there is a cottage called Hongtang Mountain, in which a strong man is leisurely sitting on a chair and taking a nap.

Suddenly, a thinner man outside the door, with a mouse-like face and eyes narrowed into slits, hurriedly ran and said, "No...... Oh no, big boss!"

"Well, what's the matter?" replied the strong man, a little impatiently.

"I've heard from the capital that they have captured a female assassin who assassinated an official of the imperial court. ”

"What does that have to do with me......"

"Big boss, do you know who that female assassin is?"

"Who? Is it our copycat?"

"No, it's Qiu Yuanxue. ”

"Who?

“...... Alas, let me tell you this, do you know who Qiu Yuanxue's mother is? ”

"Who? Who is her mother, and what does it have to do with me?"

"Qiu Yuanxue's mother is Qiu Yuan Muying!"

Hearing this, the big boss suddenly woke up from his dream, and he immediately stood up and asked with wide eyes

"What do you say!"

"I said, Qiu Yuanxue's mother is Qiu Yuan Muying!"
