Chapter 135 – The Cangshan Mountain has Snow and the Sword has Frost (4)

The Star Picking Building was about two to three miles away in the southeast direction of the palace, so far away, under the cover of the sky and snow, no one noticed the hint of movement in the distance. The white expensive fur on the star picking building shook slightly, the muzzle of the gun accompanied by the fireworks issued a loud bang, however the propagation speed of the sound was much slower than the speed of that bullet.

At least this moment of the palace city, before the corner tower of the crowd, are still quietly looking at the palace in front of the snow in the field of those waiting to die of the strong, surrounded by the Qing army elite, no one noticed that the scythe of the god of death has already cut through the air, with a kind of this world people can not even imagine the way close to their emperor his majesty.

From the Star Picking Tower to the top of the Imperial City, that fluctuation representing death would continue for about a second or so, enough time for a person to blink a few times, yet His Majesty, who had been calmly squinting his eyes as he gazed down at the city, did not notice the occasional flash of light in the snow and wind two or three miles away this time.

So the time left for this Grandmaster to react had become very, very little, and when he sensed that a deadly aura had suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth, one that even he himself was unable to resist, he only had time to blink his eyes, his face turned pale, the light in his pupils condensed and dispersed, and his body sprinted backward like a cloud of smoke and dust!

His Majesty the Emperor was injured, his true qi was extremely depleted, yet at this life and death moment, he actually exploded with an energy that was impossible for a human to possess, instantly disappearing into the distant land, violently slamming backwards into the corner building like a wandering soul!

Abruptly! A muffled sound rang out only at this time, that particle of high-speed rotation, no opportunity to somersault the bullet was grazed by the shoulder of that bright yellow figure shot over, in the hard palace walls hard blasted out a big hole of about a foot square inches, the depth of an unknown number of things!

The blue brick hard gravel detached itself from its body at this moment, spraying outwards in rays, as if it had blossomed into a flower.

Apart from His Majesty the Emperor who retreated like a wisp of light smoke, there was still not a single person above or below the city who reacted, or even realized what had happened, because at that moment, the ferocious flower that had blossomed out of the brick wall was still on its way to splash out, and the sharp-edged stone shards seemed to remain still in the air, mixing with the snowflakes that had stabbed the surrounding area in one place!

Did His Majesty thus escape the shot? No. For whatever psychological reason, the assassin in the snow on top of the Stargazer’s Tower paused for a moment at the moment he gently triggered his finger, thus letting this seemingly certain shot fall short, but immediately following, the second shot came, along with the muffled sound of the first shot like heavenly thunder.

The sound of the first shot will only reach the square in front of the palace, the second shot has already arrived like a shadow, like poking through the tofu general, in the wooden door of the corner building broke a fist-sized hole, shot into the dark and quiet corner building.

There was never a sure shot in the world, especially when the target was an unfathomable Grandmaster. The assassin in the snow on the roof of the star picking building, due to the relationship of today’s Kyoto ban, the sniping location chosen is a bit remote, he can clearly calculate the time needed for the bullet to fly in the air, he never had the luxury of such a shot will be able to kill the emperor, but he knows that the emperor in order to avoid this shot, will certainly be trembling all over the body, and refused to leave half of the strength, the kind of physiological and psychological deterrence, will certainly make the emperor to use his The physical and psychological sense of shock will definitely make the emperor use his whole body’s ability.

That is speed, the assassin on the top of the star picking building clearly figured out the direction of His Majesty’s dodge, the speed of dodge, the instantaneous displacement, the finger is unusually stable the second time to gouge, towards the position of His Majesty’s sprinting back to exhaustion to strike out, all his hopes, in fact, are placed on this second shot!

To be able to calculate so much in such a short period of time, and to come to a definite conclusion about the emperor’s choice, it is obvious that that assassin understands the emperor’s temperament very well, and understands even more about the emperor’s understanding of this gun …… that is, the case known to the world and the fear of the police.

The most crucial thing is that the assassin of the Star Picking Tower was actually able to know the speed that a great master could exert in a life and death situation, so that he could accurately calculate the landing point of the emperor’s final drift down, and it was difficult to once again secondly drift down the landing point!

This is unable to calculate out, is also unable to seek out, because the people in the world, in addition to those few great masters between, who can’t will be a great master really to the end of the road, let alone understand the speed of the great masters.

Unless …… there was once a great master who personally helped that assassin at the top of the star picking building and trained countless times!

Within the blink of an eye not even half of the time to complete, His Majesty the Emperor from the previous calm and cold emotions, suddenly by fear to occupy the whole body, the body of countless hegemonic true qi in this split second cinnabar exploded out, face pale, pupils slightly shrunken and slightly dispersed, full force of a drift, instantly disappeared from the original place, crashed into the corner of the corner building that has always been quiet and incomparable.

At this moment, this life has never been incomparably confident, incomparably strong, never know what fear is His Majesty the Emperor, finally felt a trace of fear, a trace of fear for death, because although he could not see that the breath that made himself incomparably moved is what, but he knew that the box …… of his own most alarming fear had finally appeared.

A muffled explosion resounded through the palace’s town, and a second shot pierced the wooden door of the corner tower, and along a straight, invisible line, the murderous slug shot toward the chest of His Majesty the Emperor, who was trembling and in a state of distress and had just disappeared to the back of the secluded room in the corner tower!

This shot was too absolute, so absolute that it had calculated any thought or move of the Emperor. The emperor’s body’s domineering true qi had already exploded into an invisible air current at the palace’s head, at this time, his body was in a state of emptiness, where it was possible to make evasive maneuvers such as the immortal phantom again in an instant. More horrible is, the second shot came in succession, the middle seems to have no interval, when the emperor perceived such as waves continue to come the soul-devouring breath, has been simply unable to make any reaction.

However, the assassin on the star plucking building had counted on all sorts of things, but was unable to count on the corner tower of the imperial city, the quiet room behind His Majesty the Emperor was actually not quiet, inside stood many, many people, a dozen or so silent, seemingly not even breathing, like ghosts dressed in armor, holding up thick steel shields of people.

These men seemed to have stood in this secluded corner room for countless years, never changing their stance, sealing off the possibilities of shooting into this corner room from all sides. When Kyoto rebelled three years ago, there was a blood-soaked killing spree up and down the city, but neither Fan Xian nor the Grand Prince had noticed anything strange in this room, so where were these shield-wielding ghosts covered in armor at that time?

Could it be that these shield-bearers, who had been standing indifferently for countless years, were the final arrangements laid down by His Majesty the Emperor in order to assuage the fear within his heart? Are these shield bearers, who have stood for countless years, whose only mission in life is to shield His Majesty from the life-threatening bullets coming out of that box?

But how could these steel shields from the Inner Vault possibly stop the most powerful gunpowder killers in that world? This is the last dragonslayer left in this world by the Mistress of the Inner Vault, the last sword of the Son of Heaven, how could the other legacies she left behind withstand it?

No one was able to see clearly what happened in that instant, except that the shield bearer standing on the left hand side of the Emperor trembled, the dust covering the steel shield he held tightly in both hands trembled, and then His Majesty the Emperor behind the shield trembled.

That shield bearer fell down with a loud bang, and a gash appeared on the steel shield.

As if the heavens had sent down the hammer of heavenly punishment, His Majesty the Emperor, as if he had been struck hard by this sledgehammer, jerked backward, smashed the back wall of the corner room, pierced through the wall, and was very forlornly knocked down onto the icy snowy ground!

Blood flowed out of the Emperor’s left chest, and the wounds on his body from the earlier battle at the Taiji Hall were also re-torn by the violent movements at this point; the sword that Wang XIII Lang had slashed at his right chest, and the wound that Fan Xian’s fingertip sword qi had sliced at his neck, all began to bleed anew, turning this mighty monarch into a pitiful bloodied man.

The emperor lay on the snow, breathing in sharply, his dark pupils suddenly condensing and dispersing, and his left chest was slightly sunken in a pool of blood, making it impossible to see the actual wound clearly. The snowy ground was under his brain, and he stared blankly at the cold and snowy tear-streaming sky, the two hands outside his sleeves struggling to clench tightly to keep himself from falling into darkness.

Endless fear and anger flooded his mind. The chest, the chest had finally appeared. In this world, His Majesty the Emperor had always thought that he was the one who understood that chest the most, more so than Chen Pingping, because back then, Little Leaf had used this chest to silently kill two princes and send the Cheng Palace to the dragon chair.

There is no one who does not fear the existence of such things, however, back then, the Prince of Cheng or the Crown Prince was not afraid, because the box belonged to her, and it was also equal to belonging to himself. But ……but ……from the occurrence of that incident in Taiping Buyuan, the emperor began to be afraid, every day and every night he was afraid, he was afraid that he did not know when the box would appear, from what place would suddenly blossom a spark, would be like a hanging a divine hand, take away his own life, and avenge his master’s death.

Because of this fear, after the incident at Taiping Buyuan, His Majesty the Emperor had rarely left the palace; no, as Fan Xian had heard when he first entered Kyoto, the Emperor had not left the palace much at all since then!

Though he had never seen the chest, he knew of its terrifying effects, and he hid like a tortoise high up in the imperial city, surrounded by palace walls, and no building could be found in Kyoto that could cross those walls.

His Majesty’s subjects all thought that His Majesty was diligent in government, and that was why he kept the palace locked up so deeply; who knew that he was afraid? They all thought that His Majesty was lenient and loving to the people and could not bear to disturb the localities, which is why he did not patrol the country, who knew that he was still afraid?

This state of affairs lasted until the fourth year of the Qingli era, when the child from Tanyuzhou finally entered the capital, and Old Five seemed to have really forgotten a lot of things, while no one linked himself to the incident at Taiping Farewell House, His Majesty gradually relaxed a bit, and only occasionally would he go out of the palace in civilian clothes. Yet even so, he still didn’t dare to leave Kyoto, because in those roaming fields of Qing, who knew if there would be the fire of vengeance hidden in the darkness waiting for him? The matter of the Great Eastern Mountains made it necessary for the Emperor to leave Kyoto, yet in the first instance he recalled Fan Xian to Tanyu and summoned him to his side, for it was only with this son by his side that he seemed to be able to feel that he was safe!

Speaking of which, what kind of sad life is this, the emperor owns the boundless land, hundreds of millions of subjects, yet he cannot see, cannot feel, this latter half of his life, he seems to have everything, but in fact, what is it? It is just a prisoner who is imprisoned in the palace.

The emperor is not afraid of death, he is only afraid of his own death before he did not see his ambitious become a reality. There were not many people or things in this world that could kill him anymore, except for that blind man and that box, so when Chen Pingping came back from Dazhou in an unusually cold, unusually cold and cold-blooded manner, His Majesty the Emperor, in addition to his anger, felt a trace of coolness.

Those dusty, shield-wielding sergeants were hidden in the corner tower of the Imperial City, and when His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and watched with his arms folded as that old dog of the Autumn Rain Law Courts suffered his death, those people waited silently behind him all the while, yet on that day the chest didn’t appear.

Yet today the chest appeared, and appeared so abruptly. His Majesty the Emperor realized with some sadness that he had still underestimated the horror of the chest, or at least the ability of the one who was using it today, and had not thought that the scent of death would be able to accurately locate him in the shelter of the corner tower, easily piercing through the steel shield, and finally mercilessly shooting at his own body.

The white snow was dyed red by the blood coming out of the emperor’s body, and it was only then that the people on the corner tower finally reacted, although they still didn’t know what had happened, they at least knew that things had changed!

Eunuch Yao crawled to His Majesty’s side with a face full of horror, his voice too hoarse to utter a single word, his body trembling, his palms subconsciously picking and pulling at the wounds on His Majesty’s chest and abdomen, plucking out some pieces of metal that had broken open, picking out some blood and flesh, but still unable to find where the murder weapon was.

The emperor’s body undulated with his rapid breathing, his somewhat scattered gaze looked at the Yao eunuch beside him, “I …… can’t die ……!”

These few words, His Majesty the Emperor said through clenched teeth, yet having suffered such a severe injury, any more vicious words would seem somewhat weak. His Majesty’s eyes crossed Eunuch Yao’s face, still staring fiercely at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and howled mournfully in his heart, “I am commanded by heaven, who can kill me! If I don’t die today, it means God won’t let me die!

The assassin at the top of the Star Removal Tower had calculated everything, but in the end, he had not calculated how strong the physical body of His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Master, was, more accurately, he had not calculated that His Majesty the Emperor, who was overlooking the world with great vigor, would actually be afraid of death, and would actually put a heart protector mirror on his heart in his dragon robe!

The Soul Devouring Lines blasted out by the heavy snipers, after traversing a long distance across the Kyoto sky and piercing through that steel shield, ended up hitting His Majesty’s chest accurately without deflection, but it was already at the end of its strength, only shattering a large portion of the Emperor’s sternum, but not tearing up all the flesh and blood it came into contact with from the root bones and destroying this monarch’s life immediately and completely.

Earlier in the Abandoned Garden, when Fan Xian took out the steel plate in his chest, the emperor ridiculously reprimanded him that small means could not lead to great things, yet who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would end up relying on such small means to escape with his life.

But all those who achieve great things, prudence, no matter how extreme prudence is necessary, cherish life, no matter how embarrassing and uninteresting cherish life is necessary. From this aspect, the emperor and Fan Xian, the father and son duo, were actually two shameless people who were truly extremely similar in the world.

“Star Picking Tower.” The Emperor’s slightly scattered gaze stared at the gray dome of the sky, he knew that the person who used that box today was definitely not Old Five, because if the person who came was Old Five, he was only afraid that he would have already killed his way into the Imperial Palace by this time, he gasped and said, “Kill them all.”

His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly assassinated, unconscious, life and death unknown, this change like a heavenly thunder, shocked all the courtiers and generals above the imperial city felt their bodies tingling, and no one knew what should be done immediately after. Those strong people who were surrounded by countless people up and down the imperial city, still did not get out of the trap, as long as this second set of arrows rain again, I am afraid that all of them are going to die, including Fan Xian who is still unconscious.

The eunuchs were rushing this way from the Imperial Hospital, and Gong Dian had already rushed to His Majesty’s side with a face full of misery, taking out the wound medicines he had with him and attempting to stop His Majesty’s bleeding, but the results didn’t seem to be very good.

Eunuch Yao, on the other hand, still firmly remembered His Majesty’s last instructions before he fell unconscious, and with a trembling body, he rounded the corner tower and carefully approached the Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army’s side, and with a sandy voice, he read His Majesty’s last all-killing decree. Eunuch Yao was cowering on the palace walls, looking unusually comical, but he was truly afraid, because he knew what a powerful being His Majesty was, yet such a powerful monarch was actually seriously injured to this extent by an unseen assassin, so how could he not be afraid, he even feared that he would be torn into a piece of flesh and blood by the unseen lines in the air in the next moment.

The scene that happened immediately afterward caused Eunuch Yao’s eye pupils to shrink violently, and his entire body slumped to the ground, confirming his fear once again! The Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army at the head of the Imperial Palace was about to wave his flag and issue an order for the soldiers above and below the city to once again shower arrows, however, his shoulders only moved and his entire head was suddenly gone!

Yes, like a ghost story in broad daylight, the head of the vice commander of the forbidden army suddenly exploded, like a ripe watermelon, like a water-filled skin bag, bursting for no reason, turning into a piece of blood and water on the walls of the city of the white plasma and bone fragments, sprinkled all over the sky. ……

What’s even more horrifying is that after the head of the Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army exploded, it seems that the body is still unaware of the fact that the head has been turned into a sky of brain matter, the right arm is still lifted up for a moment before it is put down dismally, it looks like a puppet with broken strings, the whole person collapsed!

The palace’s city head resounded with shrieks and cries of anguish. Such a hair-raising scene happened right in front of countless officers and soldiers, how could they not be terrified, not afraid, all of them began to shiver, desperately keeping their eyes open, desperately searching on the imperial city, underneath the city, in the ranks of their companions, and even in the empty sky with nothing but snowflakes!

Of course they couldn’t find anything, they had no idea what had happened, they only knew that Lord Vice Commander’s head had suddenly exploded! These elite forbidden soldiers of the Qing Kingdom, where would they think that the assassin was miles away, they shouted in vain and searched angrily.

Searching in vain, gradually turned into fear, this simply invisible assassins, this simply irresistible killing, how can mortals resist?

Endless panic began to spread rapidly in the palace of the city, all the generals and soldiers helplessly searching, some people are even by the pressure of this silence is about to collapse, aiming at the palace below the crowd of bows and arrows also subconsciously loosened some.

Qing army military discipline is strict, not because of the tragic death of the vice commander of the forbidden army will become a scattered sand, in the sand field, in the counterinsurgency, Qing soldiers do not know how many kinds of strange and miserable death, however, like today this kind of such as God’s will like the general blow, is really to make the secular people can not help but to think in the direction of those bizarre.

Another general bravely roared a few times, trying to calm down the emotions of the subordinates of the forbidden army, at the same time developed the order to attack from below, however, his roar only sustained a few times and then came to an abrupt end, because the killing intent which made all the officers and soldiers on the city terrified and incomparable came again, this general’s chest and abdomen was blown out with a huge mouth, his belly and intestines turned into a mass of rotten blood, he didn’t even grunt and then fell down.

At this point, the atmosphere of panic could no longer be suppressed, and the palace city was in chaos.

Palace head on the strange movement, naturally has been spread to the city, just those by the order of the soldiers sealed in all directions do not know in the end what happened, those aiming at the snow in the waiting for the death of the people’s archer feel their hands are almost sore, but still did not get the order to release the arrow. Those generals even frowned tightly, very worried about what exactly happened on the wall of the Imperial City, how could it be messed up like that.

If it was a general leading an army to do battle, if today’s palace was just a simple sandy field, then no one would be foolish enough to wait for His Majesty’s decree before firing arrows, yet today was different after all, with ten thousand arrows aimed at that crowded circle of people it was little Lord Fan.

What it meant to kill Fan Xian was well understood by all, the grudge between Lord Xiao Fan and His Majesty was also very well understood by all, without His Majesty’s clear will, no one would dare to send arrows in such a rash manner, however at this time, the generals under the city did not know that His Majesty the Emperor was seriously injured, in a coma, and that his life or death was unknown.

This eerie silence did not last long, the general outside, facing a tense situation, must have their own reaction, even if it is only outside the palace, the Qing army generals also have their own initiative, hidden behind the arrows, General Shi Fei frowned as he watched the snow right in the middle of the ground, and found that those besieged assassins, it seems that they also have already noticed the strange changes on the palace walls, and began to have the courage and thoughts of breaking out. However, Shi Fei was after all a powerful person who could subdue Yan Xiaoyi’s Northern Battalion by himself back then, and I don’t know where the blood of his heart came from that he didn’t directly send out the order to attack, but rather sent it out through the deputy general beside him, on the one hand, it was that kind of unknown fear that made him make this choice, and on the other hand, it was that Shi Fei, just like all the civil officials and military generals of the Kingdom of Qing, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever wanted to let Fan Xian die directly at his own hands. This idea directly saved Shi Fei’s life.

This thought directly saved Shi Fei’s life, because the vice general beside him had just raised the flag in his hand, and then directly fell to the ground.

It wasn’t because he didn’t ride steadily or for any other reason, because along with the body of the vice general, the horse below him also fell into the snow, and countless amounts of blood quickly dyed the snow red.

Shi Fei eyes pupil shrinking, face slightly white looking at the side of the vice general blood, know earlier if he sent the order, then he has also died, who can block this kind of intangible, can not be predicted outside the heavenly strike!

Shi Fei is also clear about what the strange movements on the walls of the imperial palace are due to, just …… is his majesty still alive?

The imperial city up and down after a slight cacophony, then returned to the silence of the silence, dead quiet, the Qing army’s military discipline is really the world’s first. However, under the terrifying threat of a strike from outside the sky, who dared to trespass? The faces of all the soldiers were a little white or even green, they were waiting for His Majesty’s decree, yet His Majesty never appeared above the Imperial City again.

Another gunshot rang out, cutting through the calmness of the square in front of the palace, an ascetic wearing a hat, when he tried to use his bravery to drive the silent soldiers to impact, he was accurately knocked down in the middle of the snow, without even a twitch, directly turning into a dead body.

Deadly silence.

Another gunshot.

Another dead silence.

Another gunshot.

As such, four times, four more dead bodies on top of the snow, and the gunshot also fell silent, as if it would never ring again. Everyone up and down the imperial city understood, this supreme assassin who was able to complete the Heavenly Strike was warning everyone in the Qing court not to try to make any moves, but anyone who dared to move on this blanket of snow was a necessary target for him to kill.

One sound, one person dead, one bloody corpse lying in the snow, never an accident. This cold and silent proclamation froze everyone’s heart.

This was one man challenging a nation.

Deadly silence did not know how long it lasted, the horses all began to kick their hooves somewhat uneasily, splashing some white snow, those strong men surrounded in the snow also seemed to not want to touch the taut nerves of the mighty Qing army, did not choose to forcibly break out at this moment.

Who also do not know those wear swept Kyoto falling snow crisp sky muffled sound is how it is, those people are how to die.

The fully armored Ye Chong sat indifferently on his horse, the elite cavalry he led was enough to ensure that two round trips would kill these strong men in the snow, yet he did not move either. Although with his ninth grade strength, he could hear those muffled sounds coming from his rear, he vaguely sensed that the assassin of the Heavenly Strike was not able to cover the whole field, there were still problems like dead ends of arrow travel, if the cavalry rushed over at this time, he thought that the assassin was unable to stop himself.

But Ye Chong just silent and stable sitting on the horse, at this time his majesty’s life and death is unknown, the highest position in the field is him, he did not say a word, just like his image in the Qing dynasty and the country for many years, never show, but no one dares to belittle him.

Ye Chong is not moving for a very simple reason, not because his majesty did not give the order, but because he knows what those things that take people’s lives, as if they are stabbed from the sky, what are those muffled sounds.

It was the chest, the chest finally appeared again, Ye Chong slightly lowered his eyes, ignoring the burning gazes of the partial generals around him, as if he was asleep, in fact, his heart had already stirred up shocking waves.

Back then, when the matter of the Taiping Buyeon broke out, he was transferred by the emperor to Dingzhou as the rear army, it was obvious that the emperor did not trust Ye Chong’s position between himself and Ye Qingmei. Remembering back then, when Ye Qingmei first entered Kyoto, he fought with Ye Chong, who was still young back then, Ye Chong knew too much about those people back then, and even though he never expressed any opinions, it didn’t mean that he didn’t know about the case, the matter of the Taiping Special Courtyard, and why Chen Pingping betrayed His Majesty.

Ye Chong’s heart swept through many, many images, many, many people from back then, and he also felt that he was a bit tired, his gaze finally became clear and landed on the body of that young man in the snow, and then he remembered that young man’s mother, that young girl who had brought that chest, who had refused to allow herself to be inspected at the city gates.

In this matter, Ye Chong felt that his majesty was not right, so he was dead silent, and until there was a decree, he absolutely did not move.

How long could the deadly silence last? How long would it take for this wind and snow to stop? A young boy in a pale yellow shirt, right at this moment, step by step, walked up the wall of the palace, stood to the edge of the wall, and calmly looked at Fan Xian in the snow below the city.

At this time, the forbidden army on the city wall was already in a bit of a mess, and most of them subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid the kind of death harvest that might come from beyond the heavens, so this young man in a light yellow shirt standing at the city wall actually looked so high and brave.

“According to the General Regulation of the Qing Law, His Majesty is unconscious and unable to see things, shouldn’t I automatically become the Supervisor?” Third Prince Li Chengping asked with the two fists in his sleeves clenched tightly.

Eunuch Yao beside him, who was pale and glancing around, returned with a trembling voice, “But His Majesty has just fallen into a coma, and has not yet exceeded the seven day period.”

“Can this situation right now wait? Do you want to watch all of my Daqing’s famous generals and marshals be chopped to death by the heavens!” Li Chengping turned back to look at Eunuch Yao sinisterly. Eunuch Yao’s heart chilled as he said, “Your Highness, this is a matter of national importance, I shouldn’t have said anything, but if His Majesty wakes up, I’m only afraid ……”

“There is nothing to be afraid of, remove everyone ……” The icy coldness in Li Chengping’s eyes grew thicker and thicker. Yao eunuch heart of the coldness is more and more prevalent, these years, the third prince although in Fan Xian’s education seems to become a warm and benevolent prince, but Yao eunuch know, this teenage prince back then is how the vicious role, once really force each other hard, remember this big grudge, how to live in the future themselves?

What’s more, this kingdom of Qing’s kingdom, in the future, it is always going to be passed on to the third highness, if his majesty is really incurable this time, I’m afraid that tomorrow, the third highness will be sitting on the dragon chair.

“Waiting for them to leave the square, then pursuing and arresting them, we can always give Father an explanation. What’s the point of spending your life here?” Li Chengping narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his elder brother in the snow, sir, without showing any emotions that should not be shown.

In the snow on top of the Star Picking Tower, the metal tubes under the pure white precious fur kept making loud noises, tearing the air and harvesting the lives at the distant palace. These sounds were so loud that although the reaction force had been reduced, the snow on top of the Stargazer Building was still being shaken and slipped, and these sounds traveled even farther, disturbing the people in the surrounding streets and houses.

Kyoto government officials have already found this place strange, but the building is the court’s forbidden land, although it has been abandoned for many years, but if there is no formalities, who can not go in to see, coupled with the fact that today is still the first few years, the festival is still continuing to live, these officials thought that perhaps it is whoever the urchin in the inside of the release of Spring Thunder, just the sound of this Spring Thunder seems to be a little too big.

After all, the reaction speed of the inner court is faster, His Majesty the Emperor before he fell unconscious unusually calmly said the name of the Star Picking Building, the experts of the inner court from the palace quietly sneaked out, along the imperial river on the left side of the palace, straight through the mountains and forests, with the fastest speed to the eastern city of Kyoto.

Across two streets, they also heard the loud noise coming from the star picking building, these inner court experts’ spirits were revitalized, forcibly suppressing the nervousness in their hearts, splitting into four directions and pouncing over, they believed that since that dreadful assassin was still on the star picking building at this moment, he would definitely not be able to escape before these people of theirs could close in on him.

However, when the inner court experts bravely rushed into the garden of the star picking building, until they finally checked the roof of the building, they still didn’t find anyone, just that there was a very obvious mark in the thick white snow on the roof of the building, apart from this mark, it was empty, just like no one had ever come before, it was so quiet that it made people’s hearts go weak.

The snowflakes are still falling, the inner court experts carefully check the traces left in the snow on the roof of the building, but found that the horrible assassin actually did not leave a single clue, those traces, although obvious, but have been packed, even how the person’s figure can not be seen.

An inner court guard was guarding an alleyway entrance on the outskirts of the Star Picking Building, his face was slightly white as he vigilantly watched the not so many pedestrians, suddenly, he saw a boy-like person walking over, his heart thumped.

This boy is a teenager, and let the inner court guards doubt is, this person’s body wrapped in a thick layer of fur, although the fur looks very ragged, not worth a few money, but the inside of the green cloth wrapped in solid, just turned over the knee, revealing the other side of the fur, white as snow, this is the most expensive fur, who can afford to buy such a valuable things?

The inner court guards eyes pupil shrinking, the first time in the front of the boy stopped, will want to call companions, but unexpectedly feel a flower in front of my eyes, followed by a numbness in the jaw, the inner court expert leaned against the wall of the alley, immediately killed, the body is stiff and incomparable, did not fall to the ground.

The boy fingertip a wipe, take out in this person under the jaw of the fine needle, wrapped tightly in the body of the thick fur, seems to be a little afraid of the cold, out of the entrance to the alley, disappeared in a flash in Kyoto in the snow and wind.

Kyoto today, the wind and snow, big movement, but not many people know, was tightly closed in front of the palace actually happened. The imperial historians who knocked on the door of the Imperial Historian’s Office had already been forcibly escorted back to their respective mansions in the night, and those adults from various ministries were also notified by the Supervisory Yuan and forced to stay in their mansions, and it was the Grand Maestro of Hu who was unable to get close to the Imperial City.

This kind of suppressed tension and fluctuation did not take long to spread to the south city of Kyoto on the street, this street do not know how many families live in the power and wealth, and all the eyes of the police suspicion are only staring at a family, that is, the Fan House.

Today, the Fan residence was as usual, no panic, no sadness, no tension, boiling water and cooking. Fan Xian went to the palace to negotiate with his majesty to get the results, obviously did not react in the house, the main mother of the house Lin Wan Er did not bring a family, take advantage of this short period of time, in his majesty the emperor’s tacit permission to leave the capital to return to Tanyu state, she is still quiet and somewhat terrible to stay in the house, sitting in the flower hall, waiting for the return of that man, if he can not come back, then their own departure from Kyoto and what’s the point of it?

“Why isn’t Ruo Ruo up yet?” Lin Wan Er smiled warmly, but there was some faint sadness in her smile, she looked at Si Si who was feeding her child and said, “Did you shout?”

As she was talking, Miss Fan, who was only released from the palace last night, slowly walked over from outside the hall, her body was clean as usual, her eyebrows were as cold as ever, and the shoes under her feet were not stained with the slightest bit of snow. She looked at her sister-in-law and smiled, then sat down at the table and picked up her chopsticks, her hand holding them was so steady, not a single tremor.
