"There are assassins! Xiangzu Temple!"
The shouts kept coming and going. Except for the guards of the palace where the concubines and concubines were located, the guards patrolling the palace all ran towards the ancestral temple. They carried lanterns, swords, bows and crossbows, and carefully searched for what they passed Place, lest you miss the assassin in hiding.
There was a lot of voice. Since it was the first encounter with an assassin in the palace in more than two decades, the whole scene seemed a bit messy. Often a team of guards ran around, but because of the search, it became twos and threes. But in this way, from Minghua Guards gradually appeared on the roads from the temple to the ancestral temple. However, due to the conciseness of the command, most of the guards thought that the assassin was near the ancestral temple, so they were not guarded at all levels and were heavily guarded. Instead, they all faced the ancestral temple. Converge.
If Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu fled back at this time, it would be easy to escape safely under the condition of guarding the vacuum in other parts of the palace, but at this time, pulling away would be equivalent to surrendering the congenital Taoist birth to the incarnation of Mu Jing. When she initially took control of Hun Yuan Jin Dou, then the two of them were a dead end, and there was no time to escape from this world before then.
Both of them had experienced dangers for an unknown number of times, and realized their situation in a flash of thought, so they rushed forward without hesitation, wanting to beat them fast.
Relying on the ability of the soul to reflect, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu shuttled between the guards, avoiding the search dangerously. But as there were more and more guards, it became more difficult to avoid it, and it was almost impossible to complete. Even the guards began to shine with lanterns on the roof.
Fortunately, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu both understand the principle of prescribing everything, and failing to preempt it. They have some situations where they were discovered before they entered the ancestral temple because of unexpected or unexpected events. ready. After looking at each other, there was an instant decision.
At this time, the two were on the corridor of a remote pavilion, with an uninhabited cold house on their left. On the right hand is a lotus pond with a radius of a radius of ten meters, full of fragrance and lotus leaves all over the water. Outside the front corridor gate, there are two teams of guards coming together from the other two roads, but they should continue to move toward the ancestral temple, and will not return to search here.
On the back side of the road, there were also two teams of ten guards rushing toward this remote path. They ran, pushing open the doors of the house and the palace, and hurriedly checked whether the assassin was hiding in it.
There are jackals in front of them, and tigers behind.
If you hide on the roof, you can avoid it temporarily. But Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu separated suddenly and ran to hide.
Two teams of guards entered the corridor with the slogan: "There are assassins! To the ancestral temple!" One by one, the guards of the two teams entered the corridor. The five guards behind looked at the team in front and pushed the doors of the houses one by one. He irradiated the inside with a lantern, and simply took the opportunity to pass them and walked through the corridor door quickly.
Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu looked a little excited and pushed open the door of a house. For them like the dudes who served as the guards of Ouchi, the assassins were dangerous, but many people were bold. On the contrary, it made them feel a different kind of excitement, and if they could catch the assassin, it would be a great achievement, or become a first-class guard, or send them out as a provincial general.
After taking a picture of the lantern, the two didn’t have time to check it carefully. After a rough sweep, they saw that there was no one inside. They immediately turned around and left. The most important thing is to stop the assassin at the ancestral temple. Now they can’t talk about everything. .
But at this moment, the other three guards guarding behind the two suddenly saw a small rockery in the middle of the lotus pond, a black shadow sprang out, pounced on the back corridor, and fled in the direction they came.
"Grab the assassin!" a guard yelled, before he could think about it. With a lantern in one hand and a long knife in the other, he chased the shadow, and the other two guards quickly followed.
Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were taken aback by the shouting, they turned their bodies subconsciously, looked left and right blankly, and when they could see clearly that the three colleagues were running towards the fork in the back, they suddenly realized that the assassin fled there!
When the two of them were about to chase, a dark shadow suddenly hung over the wide open door behind them. His head and feet were hanging upside down, his hands suddenly stretched out, one left and one right reached the front, holding them down. With his mouth and nose, he leaped down and dragged the two lives into the room.
Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were caught off guard, their first reaction was to shout, but they could only make a small and dull sound when they held their mouths firmly by those hands. They couldn't disturb the colleagues who focused on tracking the assassin in front of them, and they were desperate. Watching them turn around the corridor and disappear in front of them.
Then the two of them swung their lanterns and swords randomly, but they didn't know where to cut them, and they couldn't help but retreat inside.
After Sombra fell to the ground, he leaned up, pressed his hands against the mouths of the two men and twisted them outwards with two clicks. Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu's necks deflected and fell to the ground limply, and their breathing stopped instantly.
This black shadow was Shi Xuan, and while twisting the necks of the two of them with both hands, he still had time to kick back and slowly shut the door.
After a few breaths, the team of guards who had previously exited the corridor door heard the sound of "catch the assassin" and hurriedly turned back and passed the room in a hurry. They didn't feel that the door was closed at all. I thought Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu found the assassin while searching in the front room with the door open.
Shi Xuan was not in a hurry, but quickly peeled off Zhang Wen's and Zhao Wu's soft armor, robes, and hats, and then took off his own robes and replaced them with Zhang Wen's clothes. The muscles twisted and turned strangely, and in a blink of an eye they looked like Zhang Wen six or seven cents. With Shi Xuan's current ability, this was already the limit.
Wearing a hat, lowering the brim, and lowering his head slightly, Shi Xuan became another Zhang Wen alive. As long as there is no close person to look at it carefully, it is enough to fish in troubled waters in the night.
After waiting for more than ten breaths, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, Mo Jingqiu stepped in, carefully concealed the door, and laughed softly, "It is not easy to get rid of them. Fortunately, the more you run back, the fewer guards you have. The eaves, rockery, etc. came back."
While talking. She also quickly removed her outer robe, put on the Zhao Wu clothing that Shi Xuan had already set, and dressed neatly in a few breaths, twisting the muscles on her face to look like Zhao Wu.
However, her appearance was graceful and beautiful, and she was far from Zhao Wu, after some changes. It has only three or four parts, but fortunately, the sky is dim, which can cover a lot. In a panic, at first glance, it was no different from Zhao Wu.
She lowered her hat. While helping Shi Xuan put the two bodies, the changed clothes, and the blown out lantern into the two cabinets.
Properly dealt with, the two of them took the long knives and pushed open the door calmly, walked out, controlled their throats, and learned from the voices of Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu just now, shouting: "There are assassins! To the ancestral temple!"
The voice was so vivid and utterly unreal. While shouting, the two of them ran towards the corridor door with their long swords in their hands.
The guards who waited to chase Mo Jingqiu confirmed that he had lost his trace. When they returned to the ancestral temple, they found that Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were missing, but they didn't feel surprised. The night was dim and many places in the palace were cold and remote. During the fast running and catching, it is normal for someone to fail to keep up, or to block from another road on their own terms. Even if the three who chased together at the beginning, one of them was missing.
And the shouts of them catching the assassin brought many guards together. The number of people going to the ancestral temple was greatly reduced in a short time, and even the guards who had already arrived at the ancestral temple relaxed a little. It turned out that the assassin was still far away.
…………
Along the way, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu chanted slogans from time to time, but they rushed to the ancestral temple without stopping. They were more than a lot of distractions searching for the guards everywhere, and they heard the shout of "catch the assassin". The guard who had turned upside down passed by.
"Hey, isn't that Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu? What are you doing so fast, do you want to show your face in front of the emperor?" When a familiar dude swept the grass with a long knife, he couldn't help but see the two flying over. Laughed.
The guard who returned to catch the assassin sighed: "So spare no effort, and can even give up the temptation to catch the assassin, a model of true loyalty and patriotism. I can't wait."
The more you rush forward, the more guards there will be, but most of them are like Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, rushing to the ancestral temple. For these two colleagues, they have a quick glance and feel that they are familiar. Pay attention again.
After thirty or forty breaths, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu were able to see where the ancestral temple was located in the corridor between the two walls.
The Ancestral Temple is a magnificent and solemn palace. It is located on a square with a radius of more than ten feet. There are several copper cylinders around the corners to prevent water from running.
The nearby guards have been gathered, and they are heavily guarded. There are many soldiers equipped with strong bows and crossbows. So outside the temple is brightly lit, surrounded by guards, soldiers, swords, and long swords. , Flickering, the strong bow and hard crossbow are all wound up, pointing to the outside, once it is found that it is wrong, it will be a rain of arrows falling.
Huang Qi, the general in command of the pawns here, has a somewhat general demeanor. In the chaotic scenes of guards coming from all over, the command is determined and loudly reprimanded from time to time, let them all walk slowly, accept and distinguish, and must not attack the guards in this circle. If anyone doesn't respect the commander, he should be killed to prevent the assassin from fishing in troubled waters.
The guards who accepted the discrimination were arranged by him outside the circle, striving to line up two lines of defense, so that even if the assassin had some supernatural horror, after breaking through the guards in front, he could not escape the strong bows behind. .
However, after the shouts of "catch the assassin" sounded in the distance, Huang Qi's concentration and abnormal alertness became a little more relaxed. The assassins were still far away. When the chaos here is calmed down and they are fully prepared, they will Don't even think about breaking into the ancestral temple if you have two wings.
"Finality and life are finally saved." Huang Qi was about to be broken into the ancestral temple by the assassin. As a general guarding the temple, Huang Qi was going to be punishable by the Nine Clan. He gently wiped his forehead with cold sweat, "Damn assassin, wait to catch it. You will cut you thousands of times."
At this time, several guards rushed out of a tunnel. One of them ran the fastest, shouting loudly: "General Huang, there is news of an assassin in my humble position!"
While shouting, he kept walking, but when he got close, the guards immediately surrounded him for identification, and he couldn't help but slow down.
Huang Qi looked at the guard and asked left and right: "Who is this?"
A familiar guard said loudly: "Return to General, it is Zhang Wen, the second boy of Zhang Hou's family, and is currently a third-class guard."
Seeing someone recognize it, Huang Qi relaxed. Loudly: "Let him come over and talk back."
The guard over there looked carefully at the appearance under the hat, but the lights were bright at night, and under the current conditions, it was quite dim, causing the hat to form some shadows on the face, so he nodded: "It is indeed Zhang Wen."
One of the meritorious children who was familiar with Zhang Wen frowned slightly: "Why is it more like Zhang Wen and his elder brother? Could it be under the lights. There are such effects, but speaking of it, the two brothers do look alike."
While thinking so. He looked at the back of Zhang Wen as he walked past, and the more strange he looked, the stranger he felt.
"Okay, just answer here." Seeing Zhang Wen walk to the circle of defense formed by the outer guards. Huang Qi was cautious and asked him to stop.
"Zhang Wen" said anxiously: "Return to General Huang. Our brothers found traces of assassins in Guangming Building. However, their martial arts are so fierce that they are hard to resist. Therefore, they are retreating. Slowly trapped, please send some guards to help."
It seemed to be very anxious, as he said. While walking towards Huang Qi.
As soon as Huang Qi was about to speak, he sent dozens of guards to follow Zhang Wen, when he saw him rushing towards him, and his heart suddenly stunned: "He is an assassin!"
And the featful boy who looked at Zhang Wen's back also came to his senses: "He is a little taller than Zhang Wen!" Zhang Wen is usually shorter than himself. Because of this, I was accustomed to ridicule myself, and as soon as I saw him today, Zhang Wen actually equaled himself!
Shi Xuan stepped forward, avoiding inside the guard, supporting left and right.
The surrounding guards rushed forward and surrounded Shi Xuan who was pretending to be Zhang Wen. Shi Xuan kept walking and shuttled through the crowd. The light of the sword lighted up from time to time to chop down the guards. He always avoided the guards' long swords in a dangerous and dangerous way, just like everyone was practicing martial arts in the usual days.
"This skill is beyond imagination. It's amazing. It's a pity to be an assassin." Huang Qi regretted that, with a wave of his hand, the **** holding a strong bow and stiff crossbow slowly pushed up, preparing to encircle Shi Xuan in it. With the upper hand, Huang Qi did not dare to let the archers shoot unscrupulously. That would cause the guards surrounding the assassin to be shot and killed together. Many of these guards were meritorious children, not a last resort, even the emperor. Will not make this decision.
Anyway, waiting for the archer to surround him, and then let the guards slowly withdraw, then he can shoot the assassin with random arrows.
Surrounded by the archers, Huang Qi made additional preparations, instructing several archers around him to find gaps to shoot the assassin. If they can shoot, it is not difficult to capture the assassin under the siege of so many guards. This is comparable to killing the assassin directly. The credit is much.
But when everyone’s attention was focused on the surrounded Shi Xuan, a figure suddenly came out from the side, buried very low, and within a few steps, rushed past the unprepared archer, from the first line of defense. Rushing to Huang Qi's side, the light of the knife fell, and Huang Qipei's knife was opened in flashes, and it fell on his neck, holding him away.
"Stop it all!" Mo Jingqiu exclaimed. She deliberately walked at the end before, and before she could be interrogated and distinguished in the future, she took advantage of the opportunity that Shi Xuan was deliberately discovered and rushed over with many guards, waiting until the archer moved forward. Paying attention to the transfer, it was even more troublesome, and Huang Qi was arrested in one fell swoop.
The general was captured, and the guards and soldiers were panicked. Under no one's command, they all stopped and let Shi Xuan walk through and meet at Mo Jingqiu.
Huang Qi wanted to shout, "You don't care about me, shoot me together, or if the assassin enters the ancestral temple, it will not be my death alone, but the fate of the whole family and the nine clans." But Mo Jingqiu will Let him speak at this time, with the other hand firmly holding his mouth.
After the rendezvous, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu did not delay in the slightest. Using Huang Qi as a shield, they retreated to the ancestral temple. Although their footsteps were broken, they were extremely fast. They went up the steps in a blink of an eye and reached 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 appearance. They shouted from a distance: "Fall arrows! If the assassin enters the ancestral temple, you will all be dead words!"
The guards and soldiers were taken aback, who was this?
The following Zhu Shang ran out of breath. This weak and beautiful woman was really not what she looked like. He saw the guards not moving, running while holding up the token: "Here is the emperor's order card, let go of the arrow! Even General Huang. Even if you die, you can also seal your wife's shadow, so don't you want him to slap him?!
"It's a national teacher." The guards and soldiers were stunned, and saw the emperor's order shining. They originally aimed at Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, and their ready-to-go crossbows were about to be released. They were now away from the ancestral temple gate. There are still a few steps.
But at this moment, they all suddenly dizzy, as if they were hit by something in their souls, their hands fell involuntarily, and the sky rained arrows down the steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu pushed Huang Qi into the air, using the reaction force to fly upside down, smashed through the door of the ancestral temple, fell in, and quickly rolled to the sides, hiding behind the wall.
Shi Xuan's face was pale, his head buzzing, and the final act of shocking the soul, although it was only an instant, not as long as the national teacher Zhu Shang, but it was just right and wide. It was not like Shi Xuan's Three Tribulations. Tianjun's spiritual reflection cannot be triggered, but unfortunately it has not yet reached the power of the spell, otherwise these pawns should have been all weakened to the ground, so it seems that they can now open their bows and arrows again.
The ancestral temple is solemn. Without the emperor's personal order, the soldiers did not dare to shoot bows and arrows. If the ancestral temple was destroyed, it would be a sin of disrespect.
Seeing Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu entering the ancestral temple, Mu Jing was slightly angry and suppressed his emotions, hurried past the pawns, and dashed towards the gate. Zhu Shang hesitated for a moment, followed by, and greeted more than a dozen people at the same time. Together with the great guards, there are many people, and they have their own means to help each other, and the two assassins can turn the sky over.
However, in the ancestral temple, there are spirit cards, offerings, etc. everywhere, and there is not much room to move. If there are too many people, if the assassins are not caught but the spirit cards of the first emperor and the first emperor are broken, the ten heads are not enough. cut. ! ~!
