Chapter 9 Assassin Late at Night

"Ok, I didn't even see the shadow of Xiao Gui. When we got to Jiecang Mountain, the mountain road was steep and slipped. We had to abandon the mountain. Yuan Can fell a lot because he was not used to the mountain road. Then we got lost in the forest and endured hunger and cold for most of the day. Fortunately, we met an old hunter, which went smoothly. Out of the mountain," Huanxuan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Now think about it, it seems that you picked up all our reckless behaviors at that time."

"Is that so? It turns out that I'm the king of disasters. Why don't I know myself?" Zhuo Ruitong was very happy, "Although we didn't catch the ghost, it's not that we didn't get anything in the snowy forest. Didn't you shoot two hares in person?"

"That's because I thought we would have to spend the night in the snow forest. It's freezing. There is no fire and no food. So as soon as you see the trace of the hare, you shoot it without hesitation. King Wei, you didn't take the arrows in your backpack, but you are busy picking up two small stones before arching. Why?"

Zhuo Ruitong laughed until he was dumb, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with tears for a long time, "Oh, my eldest grandson, such a lovely gray rabbit, I was going to catch it back for your young lady to play with. Who knows that your hands are fast, shooting two arrows in a row, two unlucky rabbits..."

"Ah? You, why didn't you say it earlier! I, I thought you were deliberately playing, so you didn't use arrows to replace it with stones!" Huanxuan's eyes widened, and it was all because Zhuo Ruitong always liked to make fun of her, which made her misunderstand until now.

"Miss, do you really think I, Zhuo Ruitong, like to show off?"

"Well, it's not true, but you regard yourself as the eldest brother. You always point in front of me and Yuan Can. I don't know why, I feel..."

"Ha ha, I don't know who likes to show off. I remember that Yuan Can saw you shoot the hare and hurriedly shouted to pick it up. You took over the rabbit picked up by Yuan Can, shook your head in front of me and Yuan Can, and said, 'Thank you, girl, the two royal princes, didn't starve to death in the wilderness. It's a loss. This girl's bow is invincible and has no empty hair. Well, is it these few words, Huanling?"

At this time, Huanying's ears were not only red, but also her cheeks were red. She said shyly, "King Wei, don't mention it again. Huanying was young and ignorant at that time, just boasting about himself. It's ridiculous!"

"Okay, don't mention it." Zhuo Ruitong's eyes crossed Huanying's shoulder and stayed at a certain point in the middle. He became extremely gentle, as if he was still immersed in his memories. "But do you know Huanying? In my eyes, you shake your head and are so proud that your braids are going up to the sky, disdainful of me and Yuan Can. It was your cutest time. I didn't expect that so many years had passed in a flash!"

Zhuo Ruitong's sigh fell in Huanxuan's ears, and suddenly pierced the great creation in her heart like a needle. The shyness on Huanxuan's face faded. "Yes, it's been so many years," she muttered to herself in a daze.

It was night. After the little porcelain servant Huanying lay down, he put down the curtain for Huanying, and then went to close the window of the bedroom one by one, leaving only one half open on the side of the dressing table. Then he took the cover cup and put out the lights in the bedroom, and finally closed the door of the inner room and retreated.

There is another compartment in the outer hall, which is the usual residence of Xiaoci. In order to be afraid that when Huanling needs people, Xiaoci can be heard at any time. Xiaoci also extinguishes the lights in the outer hall. This way back to his own cubicle is probably because both the master and servant are too tired during the day. Not long The goblet palace fell into the silent darkness.

After the second update, not long after the inner guard in charge of the patrol of the Wei Palace, a black shadow appeared under the outer wall of the Goblet Palace. When the black shadow saw that there was no one around, it immediately stepped on the wall of the courtyard like a dragonfly. After three or two times, he gently climbed over the not too high courtyard wall and fell into the court. The black shadow leaned over a big one. After the tree, he listened to a movement. Except for the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, there was no other movement in the courtyard. The shadow did not hesitate and went straight to the goblet palace.

groping for the half-closing window, the black shadow took out a tubular object from his body, put it in through the cracks of the window, and then blew into the thin tube. rays of white smoke slowly spread in the inner room and quickly disappeared into the invisible.

When it is confirmed that the person in the inner room is already in the smoke, he will never wake up. The shadow pushes open the window and enters. In the dark inner room, the big bed and the drooping curtain look particularly abrupt. The shadow slowly approaches the big bed and carefully opens the curtain. ** is the shape of a person lying on his side, but because of the room It's too dark to see the face clearly.

The dark shadow hesitated a little, and another touched the fire fold and burned. Under the faint light that lit up in an instant, he only saw the ** person with his back to the shadow and covered his head. The shadow turned on an oil lamp on the bedside cabinet, held the oil lamp close to the sleeper, and suddenly lifted the bedding. Unexpectedly, the shadow was immediately shocked. Except for a few adult-shaped pillows under the bedding, how could there be half a person?

The shadow knew something was not good. He hurriedly blew out the oil lamp and wanted to escape. While the light went out, he only heard a voice saying, "Do you want to go? It's not that easy!"

In an instant, dozens of torches lit up outside the palace, illuminating the inside and outside. The door of the inner room was kicked open. Several inner guards with blades and torches entered and surrounded the black shadow group. After the inner guard, the two men in white also walked into the inner room. Although they were plainly dressed in white, they were dignified. , elegant and handsome, besides Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong, who else can be in the royal palace?

Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong looked at each other and smiled. There was finally no white ambush tonight. They waited until the second watch day to finally catch the person who had a bad person in the picture. It was just that the thief in front of him was all black and black and masked with a black mask. Except for a pair of frightened eyes that exposed the mask, he could not recognize who it was.

Nie Kong took a step forward, but there had been an armor guard in front of him for a long time. He was afraid that the man in black and the dog would jump over the wall to fight to the death. Nie Kong stared at the man in black and slowly said, "Who is you, who is instructed by whom? Why did you come here? I advise you to come from the truth one by one. Wei Wang Renshan may forgive you. Life, otherwise, the armor will be on, and you can't escape from the goblet palace even if you insert your wings!"

The man in black looked around the soldiers and armor in the room, and they all pointed their swords at him as if they were facing the enemy. In the light of the knife and fire, the man in black suddenly smiled miserably, lost the lamp in his hand, and retreated several times. "Well, I was careless for a moment and fell into your trap and had nothing to say, but even if you can't escape death today, you, Don't even think about it out of my mouth, take out half a word!"

After the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly sprayed a mouthful of blood on the mask, which scared everyone around him. Nie Kong reacted first and pushed the front armor guard, "Come on, open his mouth. He wants to take poison to death!" But it was obviously too late. Everyone looked at the man in black with lax eyes and fell to the ground.

As a first guard, he came forward and explored the breath of the man in black. Looking back, he shook his head at Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong, "It's hopeless!"

"Tear off his mask!" Nie Kong ordered.

The mask was pulled down. Probably because of the blood spraying, most of the faces of the people in black were stained and blurred. Although it was extremely difficult to recognize, after careful examination for a long time, Nie Kong still got up and said to Zhuo Ruitong, "The face is very strange. It should not be a person in our royal palace, and I dare to conclude that it is not the main army or A local from Weijun.

"Uh-huh!" Zhuo Ruitong nodded and pointed to the face of the man in black and said, "The skin that has not been stained with blood is very white. If you live in Wei County for a long time, your skin will be dark and red long ago."

"Search him to see if there is anything suspicious!" Nie Kong then ordered the first guard.

After a moment, Jia Wei got up and reported, "Lord, find a rune card. It looks like it is worn by the army of the King of Wu!"

"Gre it to me!" Nie Kong took the rune card and examined it carefully in his hand. One side of the rune card was branded with the word "pass", and the other side was the word Wu cast in the oval circle. Nie Kong was silent and handed the rune card to Zhuo Ruitong.

"It seems that it must be a spy sent by the King of Wu. You guys dragged the body away and transported it to the suburbs to find a place to bury it. Leave a few more people to clean up this place. The scoundrel made it fine, which made my goblet palace dirty!" Zhuo Ruitong said angrily.

So the armor guards hurriedly agreed to remove the body of the man in black, and the rest of the people found a wet cloth to scrub the remaining blood stains on the ground. Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong walked out of the inner room, came to the door of the outer hall and knocked. The door opened in response, and Xiaoci appeared at the door.

"How are you, madam? Have you slept?" Zhuo Ruitong asked, and he saw Huanxuan leaning against the bedside and staring at himself calmly.

"It's such a big move that even if you fall asleep, you will be woken up!" Huanxuan said lightly, "Congratulations to King Wei, you have caught the assassin so soon."

Xiaoci got out of the way from the door, gave a slight salute to Nie Kong behind Zhuo Ruitong, and said, "What should I do tonight? I just died. It's unlucky for my wife to sleep in, and my cubicle is too small. My wife must not have a good rest!"

"Uh-huh!" Zhuo Ruitong nodded and smiled apologetically at Huanling. "I didn't expect that you encountered this kind of thing as soon as you came here. You were all blamed for being unprepared and made you shocked. Tonight, can you two change another clean room with me and take a break for a while?"

"Oh, it's not surprising. Maybe I'm tired of King Wei!" Huanxuan got up from the bed and said modestly, "As for where to rest, I have nothing to avoid, but the King of Wei is kind, but he is disrespectful. There is the King of Wei!"

"It's very windy outside. Madam, you'd better wrap the brocade before you leave!" Xiaoci hurriedly found the big cloak on the hanger and put it on for Huanxuan.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, Huanxuan. This is Nie Kong, the head of my royal palace and military division. He is also familiar with your situation!" Zhuo Ruitong pulled Nie Kong and said, "One of you two is my old friend, and the other is my brother. It used to be like this, and I hope it will be the same in the future!"
