Chapter 1036: Assassination
In the middle of the night, dark clouds fluttered in the sky, obscuring the moon.
The huge palace on the ground began to fall silent, except for the occasional cicada chirping from the trees.
"Wuxiang, tonight I will seek revenge for you on the dog emperor!"
Wu Meiniang said in her heart to the bronze mirror, and a cold face and eyes were reflected in the bronze mirror: "If you have a spirit in the sky, bless me with success, it doesn't matter if I fail, I will be able to see you then, right?"
At this time, she changed into the clothes of a little eunuch, pulled out a dagger, and saw a blue light shining on the blade, and finally put it into the sheath and tugged into the sleeve on one side.
When everything was ready, she blew out the candles in the room, went to the window and opened the window a crack, and looked out vigilantly to the left and right, and saw that the doors of the other two talented people in the same courtyard were closed, and the lights in the room had been extinguished.
She opened the door gently, and walked out of the courtyard with light steps, without making a sound.
Women are already light, but after practicing martial arts, they are as light as a swallow, and they walk like a cat without sound.
In the palace, the security is very strict at night, and in addition to the guards, there are also forbidden troops who constantly patrol to avoid accidents.
However, she has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has long been familiar with the terrain in the palace and the rules of night patrols, so it didn't take much effort to come to the rockery outside the Hanfeng Palace, and look at the Hanfeng Palace.
I saw two forbidden soldiers up and down the steps in front of the hall, standing expressionless with spears in their hands, not moving, and their eyes blinking for a long time, obviously trained.
Wu Meiniang observed for a moment, it was late at night, but around the palace where the emperor was resting, there was hardly any sound, not even the cicadas.
Because after dark, there were special eunuchs who picked up the lamps and took them away, so as not to disturb the emperor's rest.
After deciding that no one was coming again, Wu Meiniang took a deep breath, came out from behind the rockery, bowed down to learn the example of the little eunuch in the palace, and walked towards the gate of Hanfeng Hall with a lantern in the dust.
"Stop!"
The two forbidden soldiers at the foot of the steps blocked the road and said, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing with this little eunuch coming to the Shengshang Sleeping Palace?"
Whew!
Wu Meiniang didn't answer at all, but suddenly raised her head and flicked her left hand at the guards on the steps, and the two cold lights were already lightning fast, flashing in front of the eyes of the two guards in front of her, but two flying knives pierced the throats of the two guards.
The two guards raised their hands to their throats in horror, only to feel that it was cold and piercing, and the strength of their whole bodies was flowing rapidly under the cold, and the two guards under the steps and the little eunuch who suddenly shot out were getting farther and farther away from them.
In the end, they were completely plunged into darkness.
"What?"
Time seemed to slow down, and the guards under the steps turned their heads to look behind them, and their faces became a little frightened.
Wu Meiniang shot too fast just now, almost in an instant, and they were defenseless, so they were so fast that they couldn't react at all.
Phew!
After Wu Meiniang shot out and flew up, she didn't look up, her left hand reached out and grabbed the neck of a guard in front of her, and the dust of her right hand shook off and wrapped around the neck of the other.
Click!
The next moment she pressed both hands at the same time, one throat was pinched by her, and the other's throat was pulled off by the dust.
It was a long story, but in the blink of an eye, two of the guards on the steps had not fallen to the ground, and the two below had also died at her hands.
In a matter of moments, she had four lives in her hands.
It was also the first time she had killed someone.
But even in her own heart, it was a little strange that she didn't feel any discomfort after she killed someone.
Call!
didn't have time to think about it, seeing that the two guards on the steps and their spears were about to land, Wu Meiniang quickly put the bodies of the two guards below on the ground and jumped to the top of the steps with agility.
As soon as her hands were stretched out, the two corpses fell into her arms by inertia, and with a hook and a stroke of her left foot, she caught the two spears and fell to the ground.
After doing this, Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed slightly, and she changed her tone.
The Tang Emperor was strong in martial arts, and rumors of repelling so many assassins had already spread throughout the palace, which was why she had not done so much.
She had just started practicing, and although she had made great progress, she was not stupid and knew that she was not yet the emperor's opponent.
But tonight is different, the emperor's qi and blood are about to decline, accompanied by a great reduction in strength, which is why she decided to do it.
Although she knew that even if she didn't do it, Li Shimin would die, but she still hoped that Li Shimin would die in her hands, for that person.
With a bend of her body and a flat foot, she put the two guards in her hands on the ground, and after the spear rolled to the ground, Wu Meiniang covered her face with a black cloth, walked over lightly and opened the door of the Hanfeng Palace, and dodged in.
Boom!
The light in the hall flashed, Wu Meiniang looked in the direction of the dragon bed, approaching step by step with a dagger in her hand, there was no sound under her feet, and her breathing was adjusted by her and almost stagnated.
Because she knows that people with strong internal skills have a high degree of recognition of voices, which is also what she discovered after practicing.
When she slowly arrived at the edge of the dragon bed, she saw Li Shimin lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing evenly, and was asleep!
"Die!"
Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth and shouted in her heart, and the dagger with blue light fell with a "whoosh" and pierced Li Shimin's throat.
Swish!
But when the dagger fell, the sleeping Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with majesty, and he shouted angrily: "Bold!"
At the same time, he lifted it hard, pulled up the quilt on his body violently, and covered Wu Meiniang's head and body from a high place.
Sting!
I saw the cold light flickering under the quilt, and in a moment a quilt turned into a strip of cloth and fell from the sky, Li Shimin also took the opportunity to turn over, stood on the bed and shouted: "Who are you, you dare to assassinate me!"
Phew!
Wu Meiniang didn't answer, but the dagger in her hand danced and attacked him like a storm.
Li Shimin dodged, and was suddenly hit by a dagger in the clothes on his chest, cutting a hole, and Wu Meiniang's eyes were indifferent, and she was unforgiving, and continued to assassinate her.
Bang!
Li Shimin dodged two more moves, raised his hand and used his forearm to hold the wrist of the dagger given by Wu Meiniang, and Lan Yingying's dagger was extremely dazzling in front of him.
"What a vicious bastard, he is still quenching poison on his weapon!"
Li Shimin was shocked and angry with anger, and his other hand was covered with red true qi and struck Wu Meiniang: "Eat my palm!"
Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth, raised her hand and greeted it with a palm, but the palm of her hand carried a cold black true qi.
Bang!
With a bang, Wu Meiniang was hit upside down by a palm and flew out, and the strong pure yang palm force directly made her crash through the window and fall into the courtyard.
Wu Meiniang stood up after a roll, and after looking at Li Shimin coldly through the window, she disappeared into the dark night.
"Don't want to run...... Poof!"
Li Shimin was just about to mobilize his true qi and fly to chase after him, but his face turned red suddenly, spurted blood, and then became white, and his body shook and fell to the side of the bed, his breath was sluggish and unconscious.
"Come on, there are assassins, come and protect the emperor, there are assassins......"
Soon there was chaos in the palace, and the sound of gongs and noisy footsteps filled almost the entire palace.
After that, the crown prince, King Xiaopeng, and the ministers were urgently recruited into the palace to preside over major events.
"Fourth uncle, how is my father!"
Li Zhi anxiously asked King Xiaopeng, after the imperial doctors had nothing to do, it was King Xiaopeng who stepped forward to take Li Shimin's pulse.
