Outside the small building, a sergeant heard Shi Yanming's inquiry, and immediately replied: "General Yu, I have searched everywhere, and no assassin with a Chenghuang mask has been found. ”

Shi Yanming said "um", silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sergeant said cautiously: "General, in the entire Flower Stamen Palace, only this small building has not been searched!"

Shi Yanming seemed to be very angry, and said angrily: "Bastard, this is the place where the concubine is resting, how can there be assassins?"

The sergeant had followed Shi Yanming for many years, and knew his general's thoughts, so he said, "Yes, the little one should be damned!" It's just that the assassin has strong martial arts, and if he really hides inside, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the concubine." ”

Shi Yanming pondered for a long time before he said: "What you said is also reasonable, for the safety of the concubine, you can't help but be careful." ”

He took a few steps forward, stood under the small building and said loudly: "Weichen Qinci martial arts doctor Shi Yanming, see Guifei Niangniang." ”

Seeing that there was no echo upstairs, Shi Yanming paused, but continued to say: "Tonight, an assassin escaped to the concubine Niangniang's bedroom, and Weichen is duty, tracking the assassin here, disturbing the concubine Niangniang, and hoping to forgive the sin." Dare to ask the concubine Niangniang, you can find traces of the assassin, if you have seen it, please tell Weichen, let Weichen catch him, and hand him over to the official family. ”

The concubine's face showed joy, but then she seemed to think of something, her face turned pale, and she didn't know how to answer Shi Yanming for a while.

Yue Wudi attached it to her ear and whispered, "Guifei Niangniang, I let you speak, you only said that you haven't seen an assassin, okay?"

The concubine's face was pale, and she was suspicious, and she whined a few times.

Yue Wudi said, "If you agree, nod, if you don't, shake your head." ”

The concubine neither nodded nor shook her head.

Yue Wudi said: "Not to mention that your life is in my hands, even if I don't kill you, I was broken in by those royal forest soldiers, and saw you and I alone in the same room, how could the face of the Zhao official family remain, how could I tolerate you?"

The concubine's face turned pale, her eyes were red, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was struggling in her heart. After a while, she gritted her silver teeth and seemed to have made a decision, nodding weakly.

Yue Wudi let go of the hand covering his lips as he said, and then gently clasped the back of the concubine's neck with his five fingers, lest the concubine think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it and call for help to the people outside.

The concubine took a deep breath to calm her nervousness, and after she adjusted her breathing, she said in a loud voice: "General Shi has a heart, but I don't have assassins here, General Shi, please go back, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient if you stay longer." "The sound is pleasant, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, tinkling, very good.

But when Shi Yanming heard it, he felt that there was anger in the voice of the concubine Niangniang, and he seemed to be quite angry about his presumptuous disturbance. And there was no nervousness in her tone, I guessed that I really hadn't seen the assassin, so I didn't dare to stay for a long time, and said: "In this way, Weichen retires, please forgive Weichen for his presumptuous crime." ”

The concubine lightly lifted her lips and said, "Stand down." ”

Shi Yanming said "yes" and led the Imperial Forest Army to withdraw from this small courtyard.

Yue Wudi listened attentively, and saw that Shi Yanming and his party did not look back, as if they were searching elsewhere, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to the concubine: "Today's matter, you know and I know, and you must not leak it to a third party, otherwise, it will not be beneficial to you and me." ”

The concubine knew that since Shi Yanming and the others had gone away, then this assassin was already unscrupulous, and her heart was nervous, and when she heard him say this, it coincided with her own thoughts, so she said: "I can save it." ”

She was afraid that Yue Wudi would kill herself, or do something bad to her, so she was extremely nervous and didn't dare to speak again. But she didn't expect that the assassin behind her would be silent, not knowing what he was thinking, hoping that he didn't want to be against herself.

The concubine was nervous, and she wanted to look back to see what the assassin was doing, but the thought of his indifferent voice and the boldness with which he broke into the palace at night shuddered and stopped the thought.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the small courtyard returned to silence.

As time passed, the concubine's heart became more and more uneasy, the assassin behind her was breathing heavier and heavier, her body was trembling, and she was still getting closer to herself.

She finally couldn't take it anymore and turned back suddenly, thinking that it would be better to kill this assassin than to be insulted by him. She gritted her silver teeth, her apricot eyes wide open, and she seemed ready to be killed.

"Huh?" However, the scene in front of her made her stunned. The Assassin still wore the Chenghuang mask on his face, and his joys and sorrows could not be seen, but his eyes could be seen through the mask.

There was a crazy fiery look in his eyes, staring at himself as if he were about to eat himself. However, it didn't take long for the heat in his eyes to fade away, revealing a look of determination and perseverance.

This look made the concubine feel reassured, and at this moment, it seemed that the assassin in front of her was not bad, she thought in a daze.

Suddenly, the Assassin's eyes changed again, and the fiery look that frightened her took over, and the Assassin's mouth rattled as he gasped violently, as if some unbearable pain was happening to him.

The concubine suddenly felt a little pity for the assassin, and she said softly, "Are you injured?"

The Assassin did not answer her, he remained motionless, only the blazing light in his eyes and the heavy gasp in his mouth, proving that he was alive.

The concubine was suddenly a little frightened, she turned around, took a few steps back, and seeing that the assassin still did not react, the concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked lightly, towards the door.
