   Chapter 10 Zhou Xiao's Assassination

   A pile of memorials have been accumulated during the two-day expedition to the DPRK.

   Although a little tired,

   But Zhou Xiao insisted on reviewing until late at night.

  Since you have become an emperor through time travel, you must play this role well.

   The moon is in the middle of the sky.

   Zhou Xiao got up and stretched, but at this moment, a strong wind came out of nowhere.

   whirring past.

  The lights in Taihe Palace flickered for a while, and then went out with a puff.

   Zhou Xiao only felt a black shadow flash by in front of him, and then a sharp air-breaking sound quickly approached Zhou Xiao's throat.

   came in an instant.

  Assassin!

   Zhou Xiao quickly flashed these two words in his mind.

   It was too late to say that, and Zhou Xiao leaned back instinctively, avoiding the assassination of the sword dangerously and dangerously.

   But the other party was obviously experienced in assassination, so he posted it in an instant, stabbed his sword again, and stabbed Zhou Xiao's heart.

   Zhou Xiao's reaction was a little slower this time,

  The sharp point of the sword pierced his chest.

   Zhou laughed in shock.

   It was only a few days after being the emperor that he was about to be assassinated to death?

  When Zhou Xiao even felt that he was going to die, at this moment, the ancient dragon robe on his body suddenly burst into brilliance.

   Bright golden light illuminates the whole room,

   A low dragon howl rippled.

Above the    Eternal Dragon Robe, the five-clawed golden dragon with the inscription and seal suddenly came to life and manifested.

   The dragon's claw, the size of an adult's slap, slapped the stabbing long sword.

   Only heard a crisp sound of rubbing,

   Then the long sword at that moment was smashed to pieces.

   "Inscription?" The assassin was surprised.

   The two misses in a row made him a little impatient. He threw out his left hand, and the three sleeves flew out in an instant, hitting Zhou Xiao's head, wanting to take Zhou Xiao's life.

   After experiencing the dangerous Zhou Xiao before, now his back is soaked with cold sweat.

   After panicking, he suddenly calmed down.

"Tai Chi diagram!"

   Zhouxiao exercised, the Tai Chi picture was displayed, and suddenly a Tai Chi pattern with a diameter of one meter appeared in front of him.

  The Tai Chi diagram is spinning.

   The eyes of the two yin and yang fish were like black holes, and suddenly a huge suction force swept out, sucking the three sleeve arrows that were flying in, and swallowing them into the Taiji map.

   "Someone! There are assassins!" Zhou Xiao shouted.

  Although he didn't know what the assassin's cultivation was, Zhou Xiao knew that he would definitely be unable to cope with his own strength.

   This person is able to appear here silently over many guards,

   shows his ability.

   Zhou Xiao shouted and the guards rushed over.

  The killer did not escape, but came to assassinate Zhou Xiao again, trying to get the last chance to assassinate Zhou Xiao.

   Finally heard the footsteps approaching,

  The killer knew that he could not succeed this time, so he grabbed the window and came out, flying up the eaves as light as a swallow, and left quickly.

   Several masters of the forbidden army chased up and quickly disappeared from sight.

   At this time, someone rushed to Zhou Xiao’s bedroom.

   lit the extinguished candle.

   "Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei Zhong hurried up, "Your Majesty's dragon is safe, right?"

   Zhou Xiao had cold sweat on his forehead.

   I still have lingering fears.

   As a young man who has traveled from a civilized society, where have you experienced such a thrilling scene?

   "No problem." Zhou Xiao looked down at his chest.

  Thanks to Wangu Dragon Robe.

  Otherwise he would have died this time.

   At the same time, Zhou Xiao also saw the manifested five-clawed golden dragon, and found that his exploration of the ancient dragon robe was far from enough...

   This night, the guards surrounded the entire Taihe Palace almost 360 degrees without dead ends.

   Zhou Xiao also ordered to reinforce the defense.

   "Who is going to kill me?" A cold light flashed in Zhou Xiao's eyes.

   He thought for a while, but had no idea.

  Wei Zhong waited quietly to the side and said, "I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen to this old slave's stupid opinion?"

   "Say." Zhou smiled.

   "When the criminal general Qin Qiang was in charge of the court, he set up a secret agency called 'The Dark Pavilion'," Wei Zhong said.

   "The Dark Pavilion?" Zhou Xiao frowned slightly.

"The dark pavilion is not known to many people in the court, its whereabouts are secret, and it is mainly responsible for the execution of spying and assassination tasks in the court. When the emperor removed Qin Qiang's henchmen, he ignored the dark pavilion. The members of the dark pavilion are absolutely loyal. In Qin Qiang, so it is possible that they assassinated the emperor in order to avenge Qin Qiang..."

   Zhou Xiao's expression became more solemn.

  In all dynasties in China, there were institutions similar to the dark pavilion.

  The most well-known ones are probably Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, and the "blood drop" founded by Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty.

  I didn't expect Qin Qiang to set up such an organization.

   "That makes sense." Zhou Xiao fell into deep thought, and said for a long time, "How large is the dark pavilion?"

   "I don't know how many old slaves there are in the dark pavilion." Wei Zhong said, "but I heard that the dark pavilion involves many sects and families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the scale should not be small."

   Zhou Xiao tapped lightly with his fingers on the table.

  Da Zhou's situation is more complicated than he imagined.

  If the dark pavilion really involves the sect family, then the status of the royal family is not as stable as it seems.

  This time it was an assassination,

   Next time it may be to rise up.

   After all, this is a world of martial arts, and in any dynasty, the royal family is somewhat fearful of the sect family.

   Zhou Xiao felt that the dark tide was surging under the big week. Powers like the dark pavilion must be eradicated as soon as possible.

   Before Zhou Xiao could speak, Wei Zhong said again: "The whereabouts of Qin Zhan's son Qin Zhan are unknown. Before that, Qin Qiang planned to let him inherit the throne, and he also mastered some of the power of the dark pavilion."

   "The old slave suspects that this assassination was probably ordered by Qin Zhan."

   "Qin Zhan?" Zhou Xiao was very curious about who this 'Prince' who he had never met was really.

   Without getting rid of Qin Zhan, Zhou Xiao really had trouble sleeping and eating.

   It's just a pity that apart from Zhao Zilong in the court, he doesn't have anyone he fully trusts.

  Guo Nu is worth believing though,

   But he has only entered Dazhou, so he probably won't know much more about Dazhou Chaotang than Zhou Xiao.

  If he was asked to investigate the dark pavilion and Qin Zhan's whereabouts, I'm afraid the progress would not be too smooth.

   As for Wei Zhong, Zhou Xiao never believed him from the beginning.

   He was, after all, the person Qin Qiang placed beside him.

   So this matter cannot be handed over to Wei Zhong with confidence.

   "It seems that I have to cultivate a few cronies around me." Zhou Xiao thought.

   There is no one around, and it is not easy to do things.

  …

After the    assassination turmoil, the atmosphere of the entire Taihe Palace seemed a little dignified.

   Zhou Xiao tossed and turned on the dragon couch before falling asleep for a long time.

  Woke up the next day and it was raining lightly outside.

   The sky was gloomy and depressing.

   Washing and dressing under the service of the eunuchs, Zhou Xiao routinely checks in every day.

   "Sign in successfully, congratulations on getting the 'Wei Zhongxian Character Template'."

   After the system beeps, there is an additional silver card in the system.

   There is a portrait of the **** Wei Zhongxian on the card.
