readx;?“ There are assassins!

In addition to the guards of the palace where the concubines were located, the guards patrolling all over the palace rushed towards the ancestral temple, carrying lanterns, swords and crossbows, and carefully searching the places they passed as they ran, so as not to miss the assassins who were hiding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The crowd was full of voices, given that it was the first time that the palace encountered assassins in more than 20 years, the whole scene seemed a little chaotic, often a team of guards ran and ran, just because of the search, it became three or three, two by two, but in this way, there were gradually guards on the roads from the Minghua Hall to the ancestral temple, but because of the conciseness of the order, most of the guards thought that the assassins were near the ancestral temple, so they did not guard it layer by layer, and the guards were strict, but they all converged to the ancestral temple.

If Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu reflexively fled at this time, it would be easy for them to escape safely under the vacuum of guards in other parts of the palace, but if they withdrew at this time, it would be tantamount to giving up the innate Dao fetus to Mu Jing's incarnation, and when she initially controlled the Mixed Yuan Jin Dou, then the two of them would be a dead end, and it would be too late to escape from this world before that.

Both of them had experienced many dangers, and in a flash of thought, they understood their situation, so they did not hesitate to rush forward, wanting to fight slow with speed.

Relying on the ability of spiritual reflection, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu shuttled between the guards, narrowly avoiding the search, but as there were more and more guards, it became more and more difficult to avoid, and it was almost impossible to complete, and even the roof began to be illuminated by guards with lanterns.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu both know the truth that everything is foreseen and everything is not predetermined, and they are prepared for the situation that suddenly or unexpectedly, causing the two of them to be discovered before they entered the ancestral temple, glanced at each other, and instantly made a decision

At this time, the two of them were on the corridor of a remote pavilion, the left hand was an uninhabited cold house, and the right hand was a lotus pond of Fang Yuanzhang Xu, the fragrance was overflowing, and the lotus leaves were all over the water.

At the fork in the road, there were also two teams of ten guards, running towards this remote path, and as they ran, they pushed open the doors of the houses and palaces, and hurriedly checked to see if the assassins were hiding in them.

There are jackals in front of Zhenzhen, and tigers in the back.

If you hide on the roof, you can hide temporarily, but Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu suddenly separated, and they went to hide in one place.

The two teams of guards entered the cloister one after the other, shouting the slogan "There are assassins!" and the five guards behind looked at the team in front of them, pushed the door of the house open one by one, and illuminated it with lanterns, and simply took the opportunity to overtake them, and quickly passed through the cloister gate.

Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu looked a little excited, and pushed open the door of a room left and right, for them who were the guards of the Great Interior, although the assassins were dangerous, but the courage of the people made them feel a different kind of excitement, and if they could catch the assassins, it would be a great achievement, or become a first-class guard, or be released as a provincial general.

As soon as the lantern shone, the two didn't have time to check carefully, and after a rough sweep, they saw that it was cold and unoccupied, and they immediately turned around and left, going to the ancestral temple to intercept the assassins was the most important thing at the moment, and now all they did was talk about personnel.

But at this time, the other three guards who were on guard behind the two suddenly saw a black shadow on the small rockery in the middle of the lotus pond, and rushed to the back corridor, running wildly in the direction they came from.

"Catch the assassin!" one of the guards shouted, and before he had time to think about it, he chased after the dark shadow with a lantern in one hand and a long knife in his hand, and the other two guards hurriedly followed.

Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were startled by the shout, and subconsciously turned their bodies, looked left and right blankly, and only when they saw clearly that the three colleagues were running wildly towards the fork in the road, they suddenly realized that the assassin had fled there!

The two were just about to catch up, and on the door of the room that was wide open behind them, a black shadow suddenly hung down, hanging upside down on their heads and feet, and their hands stretched out suddenly, stretching out to the front of them left and right, holding down the mouths and noses of the two people, and then they took advantage of the momentum of jumping down and dragged the two people into the room.

Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were caught off guard, and their first reaction was to shout, but they were firmly pressed to their mouths by those hands, and they could only make a small dull sound of whining, and they could not alarm their colleagues in front of them who were concentrating on tracking the assassins, and watched them turn around the corridor and disappear in front of them in despair.

Then the two of them swung their lanterns and swords wildly, but they didn't know where to cut them, and they couldn't help but fall inside.

After the black shadow landed, he leaned on, pressed the mouths of the two people with both hands and twisted outward, and with two clicks, Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu's necks deflected, and they fell to the ground softly, and their breathing stopped instantly.

This black shadow was Shi Xuan, and while his hands were torn off the necks of the two, he still had time to kick back twice and slowly close the door.

After a few breaths, the group of guards who had gone out of the cloister door heard the sound of "arresting the assassin", hurriedly turned back, and hurriedly passed through the room, not feeling that the door was closed in the slightest, and they thought that Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu had discovered the assassin while searching in the room with the door wide open in front of them.

Shi Xuan was not in a hurry, but the movements of his hands quickly recorded Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu's soft armor, robes, and hats, and then removed the outer robes on his own body and replaced them with Zhang Wen's clothes, the muscles on his face were strangely twisted and running, and in a blink of an eye, he was six or seven points similar to Zhang Wen, with Shi Xuan's current ability, this was already the limit.

Put on the hat, lower the brim, and bow his head slightly, Shi Xuan has become another Zhang Wen, as long as there is no familiar person to look at carefully, in the night, it is enough to fish in troubled waters.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, the door was suddenly pushed open, Mo Jingqiu flashed in, carefully covered the door, and laughed softly: "It's not easy to get rid of them, fortunately, the more you run back, the fewer guards there are, and I finally got around with the help of eaves, rockeries, etc." ”

As she spoke, she quickly removed her outer robe and changed into Zhao Wu's clothes that Shi Xuan had already arranged, and in a few breaths, she was dressed neatly, twisting the muscles on her face, and turning into Zhao Wu's appearance.

However, her appearance is graceful and stunning, and there is a big gap between her and Zhao Wu, and after some changes, she only has three or four points of resemblance, but fortunately, the sky is dark, and she can cover up a lot, and in a panic, at first glance, it is no different from Zhao Wu.

She lowered her hat while helping Shi Xuan stuff the two corpses, the changed clothes, and the blown out lanterns into the two cabinets.

After handling it properly, the two of them took long knives, calmly pushed open the door, walked out, controlled their throats, and shouted in the voices of Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu just now: "There are assassins!

The voice was so vivid that it was almost chaotic, and the two of them shouted as they carried their long knives and ran towards the door of the cloister.

When the guards who were chasing Mo Jingqiu confirmed that they had lost their traces, and turned around and continued to go to the ancestral temple, they found that Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were gone, but they didn't feel strange, the night was dark, and many places in the palace were cold and remote.

And their shouts of catching the assassin caused many guards to gather, and the number of people going to the ancestral temple was greatly reduced in a short period of time, and even the guards who had already arrived at the ancestral temple were also slightly relaxed, it turned out that the assassins were still relatively far away.

Along the way, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu shouted slogans from time to time, but they ran towards the ancestral temple without stopping, overtaking many guards who were distracted and searching everywhere, and passed by the guards who heard the shout of "catch the assassin" and turned back.

"Hey, isn't that Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu? What are you doing running so fast, don't you want to show your face in front of the emperor?"

The guards who returned to arrest the assassin sighed: "Such a desperate effort, without distractions, and even being able to give up the temptation to catch the assassin, is a model of true loyalty and patriotism." I can't wait. ”

The more they ran forward, the more guards there were, but most of them hurried to the ancestral temple like Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, and they hurriedly glanced at these two colleagues, and felt that they looked familiar, and after they were not strangers, they didn't pay attention to them anymore.

After thirty or forty breaths, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu were already able to see the location of the ancestral temple in the corridor sandwiched between the two walls.

The Ancestral Temple is a magnificent and solemn palace, located on a square with a radius of more than ten zhang, and several copper cylinders are placed around the corners to prevent flooding.

The nearby guards have been gathered, and it itself is heavily guarded, and there are many soldiers equipped with strong bows and crossbows to guard, so the outside of the ancestral temple is brightly lit, surrounded by guards, soldiers, swords, long knives reflect the firelight, flickering, strong bows and crossbows are all wound, pointing outside, once you find that something is wrong, it is an overwhelming rain of arrows falling.

Huang Qi, the general who commanded the soldiers here, had a bit of a general's demeanor, and in the chaotic scene where the guards rushed over, the commander was determined, and shouted loudly from time to time, telling them all to slow down, receiving and discerning, and not to impact this circle of guards.

The guards who accepted the distinction were arranged by him outside this circle, striving to form two lines of defense, so that even if the assassins had any supernatural horrors, after breaking through the guards in front, they would not be able to escape the strong bows and crossbows behind.

However, after the shout of "catch the assassin" sounded in the distance, Huang Qi's concentration and abnormal vigilance were a little relaxed, and the assassin was still far away, and after the chaos calmed down here and made thorough preparations, then even if they had wings on their backs, they would not want to break through into the ancestral temple.

"My life was finally saved. "If you really want to be broken into the ancestral temple by an assassin, Huang Qi, as the general guarding the temple, will be punished by the nine clans, he gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Damn assassins, when they catch you, they will definitely cut you with a thousand knives." ”

At this moment, several guards rushed out of a corridor, and one of them ran the fastest, shouting: "General Huang, there is news of an assassin in your humble position!"

As he shouted, he kept walking, but when he got closer, the guards immediately surrounded him to make a discernment, and he couldn't help but slow down.

Huang Qi looked at the guard and asked, "Who is this?"

A familiar guard said loudly: "General Huiyu, it is Zhang Wen, the second son of Marquis Zhang's family, and he is currently a third-class guard.

Seeing that someone recognized him, Huang Qi put his mind at ease and said loudly: "Let him come and talk back." ”

The guard over there carefully looked at the face under the hat, but the lights were bright at night, and under the current conditions, it was also quite dim, which made the hat form some shadows on his face, so he nodded: "It is indeed Zhang Wen." ”

One of the meritorious disciples who was familiar with Zhang Wen frowned slightly: "How can he be more like Zhang Wen's eldest brother? Could it be that under the light of the lamp, there is such an effect, but speaking of which, the two brothers do look very similar." ”

While thinking so, he looked at Zhang Wen's back as he walked over, and the more he looked at it, the more strange feelings rose.

"Okay, I'll answer it right here. Seeing Zhang Wen walking to the circle of defense formed by the outer guards, Huang Qi cautiously asked him to stop.

"Zhang Wen" said anxiously: "Back to General Huang, the brothers of our team found traces of assassins in Guangming Tower, but their martial arts are fierce, and it is really difficult to resist so they are defeated and retreated. ”

He seemed to be in a hurry, and walked towards Huang Qi as he spoke.

As soon as Huang Qi was about to speak, he sent dozens of guards to follow Zhang Wen, when he saw him pounce on him suddenly, and his heart suddenly sank: "He is an assassin!"

And the meritorious disciple who looked at Zhang Wen's back in the back also woke up: "He is a little taller than Zhang Wen!" On weekdays, Zhang Wen is shorter than himself, so he is used to being ridiculed by himself, but when I saw Zhang Wen today, he was as tall as himself!

Shi Xuan dodged and avoided the left and right blocks inside the guards.

The surrounding guards swarmed up, surrounding Shi Xuan who was pretending to be Zhang Wen, Shi Xuan's footsteps kept shuttling through the crowd, the sword light lit up from time to time, cutting down the guards, and always dangerous but just right to avoid the guards' long knives, as if everyone practiced martial arts on weekdays.

"This skill is really beyond imagination, it is amazing, but it is a pity to be an assassin. Huang Qi regretted, with a wave of his hand, the soldiers with strong bows and crossbows slowly pushed up, ready to surround Shi Xuan in it, now that he has the upper hand, Huang Qi does not dare to let the archers shoot without scruples, which will make the guards who surround the assassins be shot together, and many of these guards are meritorious children, unless it is absolutely necessary, even the emperor will not make this decision.

Anyway, when the archers surround them, and then let the guards slowly retreat, they can shoot the assassins with arrows.

The archers surrounded, Huang Qi made other preparations, and ordered several archers around him to let them find a gap to shoot the assassin, if they could really shoot, under the siege of so many guards, it would not be difficult to capture alive, which was much more credit than directly killing the assassin.

But just when everyone's attention was focused on Shi Xuan, who was surrounded, suddenly a figure rushed out from the side, buried very low, and in a few steps, he rushed past the unsuspecting archers, and rushed to Huang Qi's side from the first line of defense.

"Stop!" Mo Jingqiu shouted loudly, she deliberately walked at the end before, and before she could be interrogated and distinguished, she took advantage of Shi Xuan's deliberate discovery to rush over with many guards, and when the archers moved forward, they paid attention to the transfer, and even more violently captured Huang Qi in one fell swoop.

The general was captured, the guards and soldiers were panicked, and without anyone under their command, they all stopped their movements, and let Shi Xuan pass through and meet Mo Jingqiu.

Huang Qi wanted to shout, "You don't have to worry about me, shoot me together, otherwise if the assassins enter the ancestral temple, it will not be me who will die, but the end of the whole family and the nine clans." But Mo Jingqiu would not let him speak at this time, and his other hand was firmly holding his mouth.

After the rendezvous, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu did not delay at all, with Huang Qi as a shield, they went backwards towards the ancestral temple, although their footsteps were broken, they were extremely fast, and they went up the steps in a blink of an eye, and they arrived at the gate of the ancestral temple.

At this moment, two figures in the distance rushed over, and one of them was wearing a black gauze skirt with a beautiful face, and shouted from afar: "Shoot the arrows! If the assassin enters the ancestral temple, you will all be a dead word!"

The guards and soldiers were stunned, who is this?

Zhu Shang, who followed behind, ran out of breath, this weak and beautiful woman really didn't look like her appearance, he saw that the guards did not move, and while running, he held up the token: "The emperor's order card is here, release the arrow!" Even if General Huang is dead, he can also seal his wife and son, don't you want to kill him all over the house?!"

"It's a national teacher. The guards and soldiers were in their hearts, and when they saw the emperor's order card shining, they were aiming at Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, and the bows and crossbows that were ready to be fired were about to be released, and the two of them were still a few steps away from the gate of the ancestral temple at this time.

But at this moment, they were all suddenly dizzy, as if they had been hit by something, their hands hung down involuntarily, and the rain of arrows shot down the steps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu pushed Huang Qi, and with the help of the reaction, they flew upside down, smashed open the door of the ancestral temple, fell in, and quickly rolled to the sides, hiding behind the wall.

Shi Xuan's face was slightly pale, his head was buzzing, and the last move to shock the soul, although it was only for an instant, it was not as good as the national teacher Zhu Shang, which could last for a few breaths, but it was just right, and the scope was wide, and the spiritual reflection of the Three Tribulation Heavenly Monarchs like Shi Xuan could not be triggered, but unfortunately it had not reached the power of the spell, otherwise these soldiers should have all been paralyzed to the ground, how could they be able to draw their bows and arrows again.

The ancestral temple is solemn, without the emperor's personal order, the soldiers dare not shoot bows and arrows, if they shoot the ancestral temple to destroy a grass and a tree, it is a great disrespectful crime.

Seeing Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu enter the ancestral temple, Mu Jing suppressed his emotions with a little anger, quickly swept past the soldiers, and rushed towards the gate, Zhu Shang hesitated, and also followed, and at the same time beckoned more than a dozen skilled guards together, there were many people, and they had their own means to help, and the two assassins could still turn the sky upside down.

However, in the ancestral temple, there are spirit cards and offerings everywhere, and there is not much room to move, if there are many people, and the assassins are not caught, but the spirit cards of the first emperor and the first emperor are damaged, and the ten heads are not enough to be cut.
