Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Haunted Mansion of the Imperial City

Shen Du walked out of the Scripture Pavilion and looked around, and couldn't help frowning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But here the guards suddenly decreased a lot for some reason, and there was a faint noise in the distance, and the lights were flickering from time to time, as if there was some commotion.

"What's going on?" Shen Du muttered to himself.

Although the guards were reduced, this situation made him more and more vigilant, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to button the masked square scarf more tightly.

Let's go find the little emperor.

Shen Du shook his head, immediately got up, and flew to the courtyard, looked left and right, and saw a big vat in the corner of the courtyard, and this person was vaguely hiding behind the tank.

When I looked at it in the past, it was really a young man squatting there, looking cautious, and suddenly saw Shen Du startled and almost jumped up.

When he recognized that it was Shen Du, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're scared me to death!" the boy stood still, patting his chest as if he were palpitating, "You don't make a sound when you walk. ”

Shen Du ignored him and asked directly, "What happened just now?"

"I don't know what's going on, but there was a sudden commotion, and people came and went, as if they were trying to catch a thief or something. ”

"Catch a thief?" Shen Du was a little surprised.

"Who knows, these guards are piece of shit anyway. The boy pouted.

It's not unreasonable to say this, after all, Shen Du came and went freely along the way, and many guards were useless, even if he was skilled in martial arts, these guards were inevitably a little derelict in their duties.

And this little emperor doesn't know any martial arts, so he can still climb over the wall from the palace, so it's not like he wronged those guards.

"That's right. The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did you find that book?"

Shen Du smiled slightly and said, "Of course I found it." ”

The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and waved his fist: "Great!"

"Where is the ghost house you mentioned, there are a lot fewer guards now, just take me over to have a look, and I can rush back as soon as possible after visiting. Shen Du said.

"I almost forgot if you didn't say it. The young man looked like he suddenly remembered, "The ghost house is in the northwest corner of the palace, uninhabited outside, and the left and right sides are deserted, you can come with me." ”

"Good. Shen Du nodded and said.

The two of them immediately led the young man to the northwest towards the legendary ghost house of the imperial city.

......

The palace was not quiet that night.

In the middle of the night, an assassin broke in and entered the palace with a knife.

If it weren't for the little emperor who slipped out in the middle of the night, I was afraid that this time it would be difficult to escape, and the Great Song Dynasty would also change with it, and the country would be turbulent.

After the female assassin was discovered, the guards gathered and the Ouchi masters came out, and the tense atmosphere immediately filled the air, and the entire palace was in a panic.

But in the end, it was an assassin who broke into the palace at night, although his internal and external skills were mediocre, but his light skills were really good.

I couldn't be arrested several times, so I had to play hide and seek with him in the palace, and you came and went, but nothing was found for a while.

Although the little emperor was lucky enough to escape, he didn't know where he went at this time, and the palace guards couldn't find him.

The Empress Dowager Zhen, who was the emperor's biological mother, was furious when she learned of this, and immediately rushed to the palace and called the little eunuch who was sleeping in the palace as the emperor to question her.

The Empress Dowager Zhen is a middle-aged woman, dressed in a luxurious palace dress, with a dignified face, thin lips and eyebrows, and a pair of phoenix eyes that are hidden in evil, and her appearance is not very beautiful.

Looking at the little eunuch who was trembling on her knees, she looked grim and asked, "Where did Your Majesty go?"

"Slaves don't ...... I don't know. The little eunuch's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground trembling, and did not dare to raise his head.

"What! you don't know?" the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, her face furious.

The little eunuch was terrified, kowtowed, and banged: "The slave really doesn't know! Your Majesty let the slave pretend to sleep in the dormitory, but he never said where he went...... Minion ......"

"Hmph!" Empress Dowager Zhen's expression was cold, "Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a member of the Jiangshan Society." Your Majesty has done a ridiculous thing, and you, as a close servant, do not think of persuasion, but instead hide it! Isn't this a traitor, what is the use of keeping you!"

"The Queen Mother spares her life!" the little eunuch listened, and was immediately frightened and cried, tears fell down, kowtowed again and again, and his forehead was swollen and he didn't dare to stop.

Empress Dowager Zhen was unmoved: "Drag it down and cut it off!"

"Yes!" the two guards came over and dragged the little eunuch out.

"The Queen Mother spares her life!" the little eunuch's voice of fear and despair faded away......

......

In the northwest corner of the palace, there is a haunted house.

This ghost house is not big, only a small courtyard, the courtyard gate has been dilapidated, but there are no weeds growing in the courtyard, and the vitality is cut off, which looks quite weird.

Several rooms were burned black, but the whole was still complete, the windows were inexplicably closed tightly, not showing a single gap, the doors were wide open, and the inside was pitch black, which was extremely deep.

At this time, it was late at night, the stars and moon were hazy, and the night breeze was blowing, adding a bit of gloomy horror to this haunted mansion.

This haunted mansion is located in the corner of the palace, and not far from the city wall.

This is a sparsely populated place, and the rumor of haunting is so fierce that it is deserted along with the left and right, and it has become the most deserted place in the palace, and few people visit.

However, at this moment, a person suddenly arrived, like a swallow landing on the ground, quietly.

This person has a delicate figure, and the tight black clothes show a wonderful figure, but she is a slender woman.

With a scarf over her face and a short blade in her hand, she was the female assassin who had broken into the palace that night. After she arrived, she looked left and right, and her eyes were clear, full of nervousness.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound in the distance, her face changed, she looked at the dilapidated mansion in front of her, and without much hesitation, she took a few light steps, came to the courtyard, and through the wide open door, she flashed into the house, and disappeared into the darkness.

As soon as she entered with her front foot, two men in strong suits rushed here, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword, both of which were extraordinary.

These two men were the Ouchi masters who had come to arrest the Assassins.

It's just that when they saw the dilapidated mansion in front of them, both of them changed color, and one of them said immediately: "It's really unlucky, I actually chased here!"

"What should I do, will the assassin hide in it?"

"What can you do, you dare to go in?"

"This assassin didn't kill anyone, and even if he did, it wouldn't be a great achievement...... Don't risk it, let's go. ”

After speaking, the two Ouchi masters simply left, without stopping for the slightest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After the two of them left, it didn't take long for them to pass, but there were two more people here.

These two people, one is a slightly immature teenager, and the other is a masked man in black with a sword at his waist......
