The sky was a rich black, and dark clouds obscured the sky, as if there was no moon or starry sky. The star-lit candles on the high and low floors swayed in the wind, like deadly ghost fires.

The night was thick, and the palace was quiet everywhere, only the sound of the guards' neat and orderly patrolling footsteps.

Suddenly, a guard with a keen hearing stopped as if he had heard something, and tilted his ears sideways, as if listening to something.

He elbowed the guard beside him, "I think I've heard something strange." ”

The guards next to him pricked up their ears when they heard this, they protected the emperor's safety, and they couldn't afford to be negligent at all.

Half a sound, and sure enough, someone was approaching.

The sound grew louder and louder, and all the guards heard it, and they all clenched their sword hilts, ready for battle.

The sound just now was not an ordinary movement, and as soon as the martial artists heard it, they could hear that it was the sound of many people fighting.

I didn't expect the first night of coming to the palace to be so dangerous.

The guards were all concentrated, and all their nerves were highly tense, not letting go of a hint of wind and grass.

In the night, a vague figure was rapidly approaching the emperor's residence.

The man was dressed in black, and under the protection of the night, he couldn't tell who it was for a while.

The guards just wanted to draw their swords and fight, but the leader was sharp-eyed to find that this person was wearing a key shot on his waist that symbolized the identity of Prince Na, and the person who came was not an assassin, but a dignified Prince Na.

"I don't know what Prince Na is doing when he comes to the emperor for a late night dew?" The leader looked strangely at Prince Na, who had hurried over, and set up a line of defense in his heart.

"Quick, the assassin has entered the palace, just now I fought with one, and almost lost the sword, that group of people is afraid that it will be unfavorable to the emperor, you hurry up and ask the emperor to quickly subdue the assassin." Prince Na was panting and looking anxious.

The leader looked at Prince Na suspiciously, and he looked at Prince Na carefully, and couldn't help but look horrified.

At this time, Prince Na was not at all more graceful and luxurious than usual, and he couldn't even do the most basic neatness and cleanliness.

His hair was messy, his expensive robe seemed to have been cut by some sharp blade, and there were many blood stains on his body, I don't know if it was his blood or that of the assassins, and blood was dripping from his sword.

Prince Na must have been accompanied by many people, and now that he can be injured like this, the assassin must be a skilled martial artist.

"Go down and ask the emperor, Prince Na wait." The leader hurriedly walked towards the emperor's room.

Within a moment, the figure of the leader was seen.

"Thank you Prince for your reminder today."

After speaking, he said to the people around him: "Quickly gather all the guards in the palace, and do your best to bring the assassin to justice according to Your Majesty's will." ”

After saying that, he gathered all the guards and left the emperor's residence to find the assassin in the mouth of Prince Na.

Prince Na was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he followed the guards closely and delayed time.

As the guards tried their best to find the assassin, a strange smile flashed on the corner of Prince Na's mouth, and the viciousness in his eyes was self-evident.

The leader turned around suddenly, only to find Prince Na's worried and anxious expression, could it be that he was thinking too much?

"Are you sure the Assassins are going that way?" The leader asked, frowning.

That direction seems to be far away from the emperor's residence.

"That's right, let's hurry up and catch up, we can't let them escape." Prince Na said righteously.

Seeing that Prince Na had a righteous face, the leader shook his head and buried the doubt in his heart.

What they didn't know at this time was that in the originally dark and dreary sky, a red light like a meteor flashed, and it flashed away, and no one seemed to notice.

The group of people who were secretly preparing saw a red signal in the air, and the action began.

In the room –

The emperor paced back and forth in the room with a slightly uneasy expression, who was it that dared to come to the palace to assassinate him?

Fortunately, when he found it in time, the emperor felt a lot more at ease when he thought that the guards were going to encircle and suppress the assassins.

When the guards caught the assassin, he would definitely interrogate him about who was so bold as to dare to assassinate the emperor in the palace.

In the other room, Ruan Tao was also pacing back and forth anxiously.

Dare to assassinate the emperor in the palace, the strength behind the assassin should definitely not be underestimated.

In this world, if there is such courage, could it be someone from the Peony Sect?

Ruan Tao was taken aback by his thoughts, and then shook his head and immediately denied his thoughts.

The leader of the Peony Sect was simply vicious, and although the assassin tonight injured Prince Na, it was all a skin wound that was not enough to worry about.

Although Prince Na's power is not small, if he wants to run into the Peony Sect, even the royal family has a headache, how can he safely let Prince Na send a letter to find rescue?

Probably yes

As soon as this thought appeared, Ruan Tao's face changed instantly.

He slapped his head suddenly, no wonder, he also thought that Prince Na was so kind to come over today to report the news, but he didn't expect it

Ruan Tao's mind turned again, and his face was shocked.

It's not good, the emperor is afraid that it is in danger.

Ruan Tao was so anxious that he raised his heart to his throat and rushed out of the door.

Hopefully, he was wrong.

On the other side –

The emperor lay on the bed and thought about it, but he didn't feel sleepy.

He got out of bed and walked to the window, looking out at the night through the wooden lattice of the north and south, hoping to let the evening breeze blow away the sorrow in his heart.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed.

The emperor took a few steps back in a panic, and then regained his composure, "Someone, there are assassins." ”

No one outside answered, and the emperor remembered that the guards had been sent by himself to arrest the assassins.

At this time, even if the emperor is sluggish, he will react, could it be that he has fallen into the plan of leaving the mountain and transferring the tiger?

The emperor stood tense in place, his eyes staring at the door tightly.

After half a ring, nothing happened.

"Could it be that I'm mistaken?" The emperor muttered suspiciously.

"Meow~" As if to verify what the emperor thought, a cat meow sounded outside the open window lattice.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat broke out on his body because of the nervousness and fear just now, and the emperor sat on the stool weakly.

His hands trembled and poured a cup of tea, and just as he picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth to drink, when he raised his eyes, he was instantly frightened and smashed the teacup to the ground.

As if he didn't care at all, he looked out the window with a pale face, his body shaking involuntarily with fear of Parkinson's.

Outside the open window, there were several men in black, I don't know when they stood outside the window, and a leading man in front of him had a terrifying smile on his face, and the cat meow came from his mouth.

Ruan Tao ran rapidly all the way, praying in his heart that the emperor would be safe.

Unexpectedly, after running to the emperor's residence, he saw the scene in front of him.

A group of men in black stood quietly in front of the window like ghosts, and one of the men learned to meow, and not long after, he heard the sound of the water glass falling on the floor and breaking in the room.

"The emperor run, the ministers come and lure them away—"

Ruan Tao shouted without thinking about it, attracting the attention of the man in black.

The corners of the black-clothed leader's mouth hooked up with a touch of disdain, and in an instant, the black-clothed people disappeared in place.

Ruan Tao was looking for the figure of the man in black in horror, when a voice sounded from behind him.

"Are you looking for me?"
