An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

In the imperial palace of the capital, although the snow on the ground was swept by eunuchs every day, there was still some light snow accumulation under the accumulation of falling snowflakes.

Eunuch Feng, who served the emperor all year round in Qingxuan Palace, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Eunuch Chen Jing stood in the outer hall and ordered the eunuch to change the charcoal in the stove.

"The master has ordered that the candles and lanterns outside should not be extinguished. After changing the charcoal, go out."

"Yes."

"Well." Chen Jing waved his hand lightly, took off his boots and walked lightly to the inner hall.

He kowtowed in front of the altar, "Master, it's almost the fourth watch at the end of the third watch..."

"Well, I know, Chen Jing, is Daban out?"

"Out! Eunuch Feng asked me to serve the master!" Chen Jing did not hide it and answered truthfully.

Yuan Zhuo on the altar stretched out his hand from behind the curtain. Chen Jing immediately understood the meaning and hurried forward to help Yuan Zhuo walk down the altar.

"Chen Jing, go get a chair. I want to go to the yard to watch the snow!" Yuan Zhuo walked in with his hands behind his back.

Watching the snow in the middle of the night? Chen Jing looked puzzled, but he still followed the emperor's instructions and moved a chair out and placed it under the eaves. He ordered the eunuchs on duty to quickly bring a few more lanterns so as not to delay the emperor's interest.

He walked back to the inner hall quickly, holding a cloak and waiting for Yuan Zhuo to come out.

"Master, put on some clothes. It's windy outside. Don't disturb the master's body."

"Good servant." Yuan Zhuo put on a cloak and cotton shoes, sat down on a chair under the eaves, looked up at the heavy snow flying above his head and the ice crystals hanging under the eaves.

"What a heavy snow! What a snow!"

"What a snow! Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest!"

As Yuan Zhuo's voice fell, the sound of a drum came from afar, and the fourth watch had arrived!

On the snow outside the palace, three figures walked silently towards the palace gate. Although the three of them were smiling, the faint firelight on the street was a little bleak.

"Stop! Who are you? Don't you see this is the palace? Hurry up!"

The imperial guards at the gate waved and scolded the three people when they saw them coming. Because they couldn't see their faces clearly, they were not sure whether they were officials, so they didn't dare to scold loudly.

The three people ignored them and continued to walk towards the palace gate on the snow.

Now they can be sure that they are not officials. How can an official dare to enter the palace in the middle of the night without reporting? Do you think you have lived too long?

"Didn't you hear clearly? This is the palace. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Several imperial guards drew their swords and pointed them at the three people with cold light.

"Oh, what a big palace, I have to go in and take a look!" Lao Qian said lightly. The three people walked straight to the palace gate without stopping.

"You are really looking for death!"

Before the few people came forward, Lao Qian waved his hand lightly, and several imperial guards were blown away by the true qi and fell to the side, their life and death unknown.

They walked forward and gently pushed open the vermilion gate, and the three of them walked forward with their hands behind their backs. After crossing the small bridge behind the gate, they turned and walked towards the West Garden.

"Who are you?"

Many eunuchs, imperial guards and Jinyiwei on duty looked at the three people in confusion. The three people in front of them did not look like officials who had been ordered to enter the palace. Instead, they looked like an official with a housekeeper and servants.

Just as the three of them were about to take action, a eunuch with white hair and a red cloak walked out from the shadows in the distance, "All of you go down, it's useless for you to stay here."

"Yes, old ancestor." Someone among the eunuchs recognized Eunuch Feng, and after quickly saluting and whispering a few words to the people around him, everyone hurriedly retreated.

"Old eunuch, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are still alive?" Unbuttoning his cotton robe, Old Qian laughed unscrupulously at Eunuch Feng who had stopped in front of him.

"Haha, thank you for your concern. You are not dead yet. We have killed too many people. I don't know who you are?" Like Old Qian, Eunuch Feng took off his cloak and threw it aside, looking at the newcomer with a smile, even a little kind and amiable.

Old Qian's true energy flowed, like a peerless beast gradually awakening, and his plump round face was full of murderous intent, "Old Lin Qin, you go ahead, I have to chat with my old friend!"

Eunuch Feng did not stop them, and let the two pass by. His expression did not change, but he looked at Old Qian with curiosity, as if the other two people had nothing to do with him.

"Listen carefully, old dog, I am Qian Yi from Qianjiazhuang at the border!"

"Today I am here to take your life and that dog emperor's life!"

Listening to Qian Yi's excited words, Eunuch Feng did not react much. After thinking carefully for a while, he really couldn't remember any information about Qianjiazhuang.

After thinking about it, he really didn't have any impression of the person in front of him, so he simply stopped making things difficult for himself. He would kill whether he knew him or not, so why bother whether he knew him or not?

"Alas, when people get old, their memory is bad. They can't remember things. But it's not a bad thing. It's just that I'm really old... Alas."

Eunuch Feng sighed in a low voice. There was no guilt in his words, but full of self-mockery. Maybe he really didn't have much impression of Qian Yi in the air.

"Old thief, come up and die!"

Qian Yi was furious. The extremely majestic true qi in the air was like a mountain, pressing people to breathe. Almost all the warriors in the capital could feel this strong true qi.

Soon, another strong true qi suddenly rose, and Eunuch Feng was lifted by the true qi. He flew into the air and looked at Qian Yi across the air. The true qi of the two collided, and even the clouds in the sky were affected by the true qi of the two, forming a clear dividing line at the intersection of the true qi.

"Hey!"

"Ha!"

The two moved at the same time, and for a while, the true qi was agitated, like the collapse of the sky.

"Old Lin, this is the first time we come to this palace. You won't go wrong, why is there no one?"

Old Qian stepped on the snow. He didn't meet many people along the way, which made him feel a little uneasy. Since he met Eunuch Feng, he didn't meet many people anymore. It was a bit abnormal!

"The current emperor likes quietness, so there are not many people. Besides, the old emperor lives in the West Garden. It is normal that there are few people here."

Lin Shu comforted calmly. The two did not dare to use their true qi to sense along the way. It was useless to use it. It was difficult to penetrate the layers of walls in the palace.

The two did not meet many people along the way, and the whole palace seemed empty, but Lin Shu himself did not dare to be careless. He felt that this palace would not be so simple.

After walking forward for a while and turning a few corners, the gate of the West Garden could be seen from a distance. Lin Shu suddenly stopped and patted his old friend on the shoulder.

"Old buddy, the West Garden is there. Do you see it? That brightly lit gate..."

"Yeah."

"Go ahead, someone is waiting for me..." Lin Shu smiled, "Have a good trip."

Lin Shu stopped walking forward and turned to look at the way he came. Master Qin gently patted his old friend's shoulder, said nothing more, and just walked forward.

After Master Qin left, Lin Shu waited quietly. Later, a man came from a distance, wearing a bright red dragon robe and full of silver hair. Judging from the position of the two people, the newcomer looked more like someone who entered the palace to assassinate the emperor.

"What? Are you surprised that I would wait for you here?" Lin Shu spoke first, and his gentle tone was more like a teasing.

The newcomer took a few steps closer, looked at Lin Shu in the dim firelight, and shook his head after a moment.

"It's really unexpected..."
