The Valley of the Demon Gate is closed, and the hot season is over.

After the decisive battle of Luoshui, Duan Yaoqi quickly led his troops to leave after leaving part of the army to defend Luoshui City. He didn't want to clash with Snow Country at this time. In this war, the losses of both countries are very large, but a large part of the reason for the tragic victory lies in the scum of their own country, Duan Yaoqi is a little bit of a loss first, and secondly, he feels that if he fights with Snow Country at this time, it will not benefit both sides at all.

Ye Pei disappeared in the Demon Gate Valley, and Ye Zijun entered the Demon Gate Valley to search carefully, but at this time, the Demon Gate Valley was just an ordinary valley, and there were no people alive or dead.

In the battle report, Morey wrote that Ye Pei disappeared into the Demon Gate Valley, but almost the whole army felt that Ye Pei had died. The impact of this incident is actually limited to Ye Zijun, and the other Snow Country soldiers are not familiar with Ye Pei, and after the past few days, they only know that Ye Pei's martial arts are outstanding.

After the war, no one had ever seen Yue Zhe and Jiang Zhongqing again. It's just that one thing happened later, and the world thought that he two did.

After hastily cleaning up, the Snow Country troops also returned to the court, and many soldiers were promoted. But the news of Ye Linhui's death in battle followed by Ye Pei's disappearance in the Demon Gate Valley was undoubtedly an incomparably huge disaster for the Ye family.

Mrs. Ye didn't cry anymore. Perhaps when Ye Linhui died in battle, her tears had dried up.

Ye Feihui will sit outside the martial arts arena with food every day, and she can always see Ye Pei's figure still wielding various weapons on the martial arts arena, chic and vigorous.

Hearing the news, Long Que said hello to his family and left Shunxing City, heading southwest. She felt that if she could meet Ye Pei over there, then he would definitely need to heal his injuries by herself.

Soon, Mrs. Ye made a decision.

This matter will not be listed for the time being, let's take a look at Yue Zhe.

Ye Pei stepped on Lin Yufei's corpse and disappeared into the red mist of the Demon Gate Valley, and the grieving Yue Zhe soon remembered that there seemed to be one of those who collaborated with the enemy who had not been punished.

Xia Huang, Xia Xun.

Yue Zhe looked around, he didn't know where Jiang Zhongqing, who had destroyed Feng Xiaoyang with him, was now. He remembered that this young man's swordsmanship was very good, and he had hoped to get his help, but when he saw that there was no one, he also put down this idea, and watched Ye Zijun rush into the empty Demon Gate Valley in a swarm on the valley, Yue Zhe put away his double swords, got on his horse and went to Starlight City, the capital of the Xia Kingdom.

Duan Yaoqi's side was already two days later than Yue Zhe, and the second was that the team here was tired and burdened, and the marching speed was slow. And Yue Zhe rode alone, so when Yue Zhe stepped into Starlight City, the Xia army had just walked less than halfway.

Yue Zhe also took this into account. Although the masters in the palace are definitely still in the palace, but the army is outside, so it is also beneficial to themselves.

For a few days, Yue Zhe wandered around Starlight City, determined the route to enter the palace and the escape route, and then made up his mind.

Midnight five days later.

A slight sound of clothes blowing in the air sounded, and Yue Zhe, who was dressed in night clothes, gently landed on the palace wall.

"Hmph...... Although this can't save Ye Pei, no matter whether he is dead or alive, my Yue Zhe is worthy of morality!"

Just as Yue Zhe had just jumped onto a side hall and was about to go to the emperor's bedroom, he suddenly found that in the other corner of the palace in the distance, on top of the tall stargazing tower, there was a black figure.

The man seemed to glance this way, but he didn't seem to notice Yue Zhe at all. After standing silently for a few seconds, he leaned over and fell straight down.

"Hey...... There are five or six feet in that building...... Ye Pei didn't dare to jump down directly...... Isn't this man a fool......"

Yue Zhegang thought that there was someone in the know who had the same chivalrous heart as him to assassinate Emperor Xia, but he never expected this person to jump down directly. However, the next scene completely refreshed Yue Zhe's cognition.

I saw that the man in black suddenly turned into a black mist and disappeared in the air, and then flashed about a foot below, and after several consecutive times, he landed on a side hall not far from the stargazing tower.

"I ...... This...... What kind of kung fu ......"

Yue Zhe really couldn't think of any theory to explain the picture he was seeing. Shaking his head, he continued to follow his original route.

Soon, and it was also very smooth, Yue Zhe arrived at the gate of the emperor's bedroom. I saw that the lights and candles were still on inside at this time, and the figures were flickering.

Yue Zhe looked at the window with hatred in his eyes, and at the same time gently took out the double knives from the scabbard behind his back with both hands.

Here's a point. I'm sure many people have this question, that is, how the sword behind the back is drawn. According to the length of the long knife and long sword, starting from one meter, what can be pulled out directly may be Sima Yan, Liu Bei (by the way, Lu Kou, I don't know if you know) This kind of so-called character with both hands over his knees. So according to my speculation, the sword on the back should have a gap on the side of the scabbard, that is, it is not pulled out directly, but slides out from the side of the scabbard. Personal thoughts, don't spray if you don't like it. If there is a different idea, the matter is not welcome.

Regardless of the real situation of this matter, in short, Yue Zhe's scabbard is as I said, there is a gap in the side.

Taking out his double knives, Yue Zhe tiptoed close to the emperor's bedroom, gently pushed open the door and rushed into the main hall without making the slightest sound.

However, when it was too late, he only heard two swishing sounds, and by the candlelight in the back room, Yue Zhe saw two sharp arrows shooting one high and one low in the face at that moment. When he knew in his mind that it was a sharp arrow, the instinctive reaction of years of martial arts practice had caused him to fall back to the ground and dodge the two arrows.

"Who dare to trespass on His Majesty's bedroom!"

only heard a burst of shouting, and out of nowhere, five people jumped out of nowhere and surrounded Yue Zhe.

This cheer is together, there is nothing here, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from the inner room, and at the same time, Xia Huang could be faintly heard comforting softly. Then Emperor Xia shouted: "What's the noise!"

One of the five guards replied: "There are assassins here! We have surrounded them, and there are still brothers guarding your majesty's vicinity, please rest assured!"

As soon as the words fell, Yue Zhe had already made the first move, and with a flick of his double knife, he rushed to the location of the inner room where Emperor Xia was.

"Presumptuous!"

With this roar, the five people drew their blades one after another and rushed towards Yue Zhe.

handed over the hand, Yue Zhe also secretly complained in his heart. After practicing kung fu for more than ten years from childhood to adulthood, coupled with outstanding talent, Yue Zhe can definitely be regarded as a master. He could feel that any of these five people was not his opponent when he went head-to-head, but these five people should be practicing the same martial arts, cooperating with each other seamlessly.

Look at the hand with a single knife, look at the hand with a double knife. As a person who has practiced double knives since childhood, Yue Zhe's body style is definitely not as unbearable as Ye Pei said. Especially during the fight, Yue Zhe's movements are even more elegant and agile, and ordinary practitioners can't touch his body even if there are more than a dozen.

It's just that from the perspective of light skills, maybe Ye Pei is more talented, and that kind of mastery is dazzling to Yue Zhe.

However, in terms of frontal combat effectiveness, there is actually a gap between the two. Maybe Ye Pei and Yue Zhe could still have a tie in the past, but now in the past few years, if they fight for life and death, Yue Zhe's chances of winning will definitely be greater. It's just that if Ye Pei wants to run, Yue Zhe can't stop it, and he can't catch up.

Here Yue Zhe and the five palace masters were having a lively fight, and Xia Emperor Xia Xun thought he was at ease, and his eyes moved to his concubine again......

Suddenly, the roof of the dormitory suddenly broke, and a figure in black descended, the short sword in his hand flashing dazzlingly in the moonlight and candlelight.

As soon as the man in black began to fall from the roof, a guard appeared, jumped up and kicked it, not wanting the man in black to flash around him at that moment, and then disappear.

In the next second, the man in black appeared in the shadow of the hanger being hit by candlelight on the wall, and his rough voice sneered: "If someone protects you, will you be saved from death?"

"Bold Assassin, you can't be messed around here!" As soon as the guard in the air landed, another guard sprang out of nowhere, and pointed his sword at the man in black in a lung.

The murderous aura in the eyes of the man in black seemed to shoot directly at Emperor Xia, and when the long sword was about to stab at him, the black mist flashed, and the figure seemed to retreat a position, and when it appeared clearly, it was still in front of the guard, staggered from the long sword. When the guard was stunned, the short sword in the black-clothed man's hand had already slashed his throat like lightning, and then a kick came out, and the guard flew upside down, knocking down a candlestick next to him, and hitting the shadows of Emperor Xia and the concubine on the wall behind them.

At this time, looking at the concubine, she was already frightened, and Emperor Xia just held her and looked at everything in front of her blankly.

When the first guard turned to kill, the man in black suddenly disappeared again, and a snow-bright blade had quietly stretched out from the shadow on the wall behind Emperor Xia......

"What's going on inside?" Hearing the commotion in the inner room, one of the five guards besieging Yue Zhe suddenly asked.

Hearing that there was suddenly no movement inside, and no one answered, as soon as the eyes of several people exchanged, they decided to divide one person into a person to take a look, no, before they could push out of the battle circle, a human head had already flown out of the inner room, followed by a figure in black who went straight out of the house.

Look closely, who else could that head be if it wasn't Emperor Xia?

"Your Majesty!"

When the five guards were shocked and moved slowly, Yue Zhe confirmed that Emperor Xia was dead, so he had no intention of fighting, and followed the man in black, and the two of them fled all the way.

When the guards rushed out and shouted for arrest, the palace guards hurriedly rushed out of the palace to chase them, but they couldn't catch them anywhere.

"I don't know ...... this hero" ran out of the palace for a while, the two stopped, Yue Zhe took off his mask and asked.

The man in black turned his back to Yue Zhe, as if he had lifted the mask and vomited something, but when he turned around, the mask was already in good condition again.

"Don't call me a hero," unexpectedly, the voice of a girl came from behind the mask of the man in black, "I'm just an assassin." ”

"Uh......" To be honest, Yue Zhe was also stunned, but he still had to speak, "Then I don't know why the girl came to assassinate Emperor Xia?"

"Traitor, he deserves to die. ”

Yue Zhe said: "I don't know where the girl's teacher is?"

The generation of heroes in Yueyun City, this famous martial artist, Yue Zhe knows a thing or two.

The girl in black said, "I can't tell you. And you can't possibly know. ”

Yue Zhe said again: "Although I haven't seen the process of the girl's assassination, I must be able to assassinate Emperor Xia in such a short period of time under the protection of the guards. ”

The girl in black sneered lightly and said, "The famous ones are called killers, and the unfamous ones are assassins." ”

Yue Zhe's body was shocked, and he was thinking about this, but Yu Guang found that she had quietly left, and Yue Zhe hurriedly shouted to her back: "Haven't asked the girl's name yet?"

Yue Zhe didn't think she would tell herself, and when she was smiling and shaking her head and about to leave, she heard a few words brought by the night wind.

"Leng Mujun. ”
