Chapter 1104: Assassination of the Imperial City

Half an hour later, Murong Fu left Yuelu Academy alone, and Huang Sheng finally did not agree to enter the palace with him, but gave him a map, which marked several places where Lin Chaoying might have hidden, two of which were the Imperial City Division and Zhaotai Palace, and the other two were the Imperial Garden and the Vertical Arch Palace, both of which had Lin Chaoying's temporary hiding place.

The status of the three worshippers is transcendent, and they often secretly deal with some unsightly things for the emperor, but in any case, there will definitely be an enshrinement to protect the emperor, so the three of them will have places for them to hide everywhere in the palace.

Murong Fu knew Huang Shang's difficulties, since he had the map, he didn't embarrass him anymore, of course, this map was not a complete map of the palace, at least a lot of confidential information was not revealed, otherwise he really didn't dare to guarantee that he would do something big.

Murong Fu looked at the map carefully, wrote down several routes, and after thinking about it for a while, he headed towards the imperial city, but at this moment, a voice came from behind him, "Murong Fu!"

Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, it was Huang Ying.

"You...... Why don't you rest?" Murong Fu wondered.

Huang Ying came to stand in front of him, put her hands behind her back, and her pointed chin rose slightly, "I'll go with you." ”

"What?" Murong Fu thought he had misheard, "You say it again?"

"I'm going with you. Huang Yingqiao blushed and said coquettishly.

Murong Fu couldn't help but glance her up and down, his face was ruddy, his spirit was many times better than when he was sick before, and the aura on his body was not weak.

In fact, whether it is the Nine Yin Pulse or the Six Yin Pulse, before and after the onset of the disease, it is the same as ordinary people, and it comes and goes quickly, which is also one of the reasons why the Absolute Pulse is rarely circulated in the rivers and lakes.

Murong Fu looked at her for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know if this woman came with her own meaning, or the meaning of the old man in yellow clothes, if it was the meaning of the old man in yellow clothes, then he had ulterior motives.

Huang Ying also said that he cared about his body, his heart warmed slightly, and he said softly, "Don't worry, the cold poison has just occurred, and it won't attack for the second time in a short time, and now I'm no different from a normal person." ”

Murong Fu rolled his eyes, "Do you know where I'm going?"

"What's so difficult about this," Huang Ying smiled mysteriously, "You want to go to the palace to find someone, right?"

Then she added, "Grandpa told me." ”

Murong Fu's face sank suddenly, "Your grandfather asked you to come?"

Huang Ying saw his face change, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue, "No, I ran out secretly, oops, why are you such a mother-in-law, I am most familiar with the palace, and you only have benefits and no disadvantages with me." ”

Murong Fu became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, and glanced at her deeply, "It's okay, but say it in advance, if you ruin my business, I won't be polite to you." ”

He understood that the old man in Huang Sheng must have deliberately leaked his whereabouts to Huang Ying, so that she could follow him and prevent him from doing something unfavorable to the royal family, Murong Fu didn't care about this, if he really wanted to do something, a Huang Ying couldn't stop him, and he had an extra guide, so he was naturally happy to see it.

"Got it. Huang Ying gave him a big roll of his eyes and pouted.

After a while, the two came to the vicinity of the imperial city, Murong Fu was thinking about how to sneak into the palace, but a fierce sound of gold and iron came from it, and as far as the eye could see, there was chaos in front of the gate of the imperial city, and dozens of guards were besieging a few red-clothed people.

Murong Fu raised his eyebrows, could it be that someone entered the palace to assassinate him? This is a good opportunity.

Huang Ying beside him was also stunned for a moment when she saw this situation, and opened her mouth slightly, "It seems that something has happened." ”

Murong Fu wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the imperial city, but when he approached the palace gate, he couldn't help but sigh, and his figure also stopped, pulling Huang Ying to hide in the shadows and watch the situation in the field.

But seeing that the red-clothed men were resisting the soldiers on the periphery, they were killing a sedan chair in the middle, and around the sedan chair there was a circle of servants with swords, these people looked calm, without the slightest panic, and they were obviously all strictly trained good hands.

The reason why Murong Fu stopped was because he recognized those red-clothed men as killers of the Blood Shadow Palace, and they were also silver medal killers.

The Blood Shadow Hall is composed of three parts, one part is the peripheral members, some of these people are people under the command of other organizations of the Murong family, and some are martial arts experts recruited from the rivers and lakes, and they are only named in the Blood Shadow Palace, and occasionally perform some assassination tasks to earn some extra money, and they have no affiliation with the Blood Shadow Palace.

Part of it is the logistics part, which is considered a formal member, these people almost don't know any martial arts, and are only responsible for trivial matters such as assassination mission reception and follow-up handover, intelligence investigation and summary, and lurking, and finally the real core members of the Blood Shadow Palace, which are divided into three levels according to their strength: bronze killer, silver killer, and gold medal killer.

Don't look at the silver medal killer is only ranked second, in fact, the gold medal killer is very rare, there are only a few people such as the hall master Li Mochou and the four sword envoys, and even Hong Lingbo is barely a bronze killer in the hall, so the silver medal killer is like a light weight in the Blood Shadow Palace, and they will no longer take on tasks when they are free, unless there is a great benefit, or the hall master directly orders.

Because of this, Murong Fu was surprised, could it be that the Blood Shadow Hall had received some big deal recently?

"Hey, it seems to be Lord Murong's sedan chair, strange, who is going to assassinate Lord Murong?" Huang Ying looked at it for a while, seemed to recognize the person in the sedan chair, and couldn't help but muttered in surprise.

"Lord Murong?" Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this, "Which Lord Murong?"

"Of course, it's Lord Murong who is the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. Huang Ying replied casually, and suddenly remembered that there was also a person surnamed Murong next to her, so she covered her mouth and chuckled, "I forgot, you are also surnamed Murong, maybe you are still a distant relative of Lord Murong." ”

What she said was originally a joke, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional, and Murong Fu closed his mouth a little weakly.

In fact, for many years, the descendants of the two Murong clans knew each other's existence, but no one had the intention of recognizing each other, and there was even a faint hostility.

In fact, the descendants of this branch of Murong Longcheng still wanted to eradicate the other branch earlier to avenge the revenge of their ancestors, but time has passed, and the vein of Murong Longcheng has gradually declined over the years, and the people are not prosperous.

"Look, those killers are so powerful, if they continue like this, Lord Murong will be in danger. Huang Ying suddenly exclaimed and said with a little worry.

Just after Murong Fu was distracted for a while, several red-clothed killers had already cleaned up the guards almost, and they were getting closer and closer to the sedan chair in the middle.

Even though it was at the gate of the palace, the nearest guard room was two miles away, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour for a large number of guards to come over, which was enough for a silver killer.

Murong Fu looked at everything with interest, and he didn't have the slightest intention of coming to the rescue, but he was a little curious about who paid for Murong Chao's life, and dispatched five silver killers at one time, the price would definitely not be cheap, not to mention 500,000 taels.

Huang Ying's heart was tense, and her little hand unconsciously grabbed Murong Fu's palm, she was about to lose her hand.

"Uh-uh-uh-uh......" A miserable scream sounded, and the servants around the sedan chair did not last long, and were quickly eliminated by the five killers, who slowly surrounded them.

Huang Ying suddenly had an extra long sword in his hand, and he was about to make a move, but was grabbed by Murong Fu's backhand.

"What are you doing?" she looked at Murong Fu with both confusion and anxiety, and asked in a low voice.

Murong Fu's eyes flashed slightly, "Don't make any extraneous branches, it will be endless trouble to get into trouble with these people." ”

"You ......" Huang Yingden was a little annoyed, she has always been jealous and hateful, especially Murong Chao, who has a very good reputation in the court, even her grandfather said that this person is a good official, how can she watch him die?

I wanted to forcibly break free of Murong Fu's hand, but at this moment, there was a sneering sound, and an extremely strong energy suddenly burst out, and when I turned my head to look, I saw countless streamers flying out of the sedan chair, drowning the five red-clothed people in an instant.

Huang Yingtan's mouth was half open, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and even Murong Fu looked at the audience with an incredible expression.

When the streamer dissipated, three of the five figures lay down, and two of them staggered away into the distance.

With a "bang", the sedan chair was torn apart, revealing the person sitting in it, wearing a red robe, wearing a virtuous crown, with a thin body, a clear face, and a few strands of beard sparsely left under the chin, it was Murong Chao, the contemporary head of the other line of the Murong family.

The two surviving red-clothed men looked back at him while fleeing, their faces full of horror and puzzlement, they could never have imagined that Murong Chao, who was powerless in the intelligence, would be a master, and his martial arts were not much higher than that of the hall master.

Not only them, but even Murong Fu and Huang Ying were surprised, they didn't expect this person to have such a high level of martial arts.

Murong Chao stroked his beard and slowly stood up, "Since you're here, don't go back." ”

As he spoke, he reached forward with both hands, and when he landed, two extremely powerful qi shot towards the two killers respectively, as fast as thunder, and with their current state, they couldn't even dodge.

Murong Fu sighed secretly in his heart, and vaguely flicked his fingers twice, but when he heard the two faint and undetectable sounds of "poof", Murong Chao's two energies were dissolved invisibly.

Murong Chao's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look around, but he didn't find anything.

With this moment's delay, the two killers of the Blood Shadow Hall disappeared into the night.

Murong Chao's face changed for a while, and finally shook his head and slowly left the place, turning a deaf ear to the corpses all over the ground.
