Fighter of the Destiny

Time kept running, and the two officials from the Qing Dynasty Department in the carriage became even paler and left Baihua Alley without stopping any longer.

The starlight shines on Zhou Yu, on the crabapple tree, and on Zhou Tong's red official robe, like hell, like a fairyland, like a sea of ​​blood.

Listening to his subordinate's report, there was no expression change on his face, just like a dead person.

There is Nan Xizhai's sword formation in the National Education Academy, and there are national religion cavalry outside. It seems that Li Palace has done nothing, but in fact, he has been prepared for it - Mao Qiuyu has been in the inn in Baihua Lane, with the breeze in his sleeves, but there is a magic weapon. body. There are still eighteen cardinals in the National Education Academy, and there are still some strong men left by Melisa in advance hidden in the night.

Zhou Tong spent the lives of more than ten elite assassins to determine these facts.

With such a formation, even if the Holy Queen Empress really mobilizes the Yulin Army, she may not be able to kill Chen Changsheng. Unless she takes action personally, and it must be done in the shortest possible time, His Majesty the Pope will definitely appear - he simply won't be able to kill Chen Changsheng. There is no expectation that Chen Changsheng can be killed tonight, but it is just a test, and the conclusion is that it will not work, and other methods must be found.

In a manor outside Kyoto, some people were discussing the same thing.

"No, it's too difficult to break into the National Education Academy without attracting attention."

"The family has spent so much money over the years, has it all been fed to the dogs?"

"If it's anything else, it can probably be done, but this is no small matter."

"First of all, you have to tell me how many of us there are in the National Education Academy."

"We do have internal support in the National Education Academy, and we also have internal support in the National Education Cavalry. We can even find friends who are willing to help us in the Imperial Palace. However, Xu Yourong's response is simple but very effective. As long as Nanxi Zhai's sword formation exists, We can’t get close to the building.”

"I don't believe that the sword formation formed by those little girls can stop us."

Seeing the nephew's excited expression, Tianhai Chengwu frowned slightly, raised his right hand to stop the debate in the hall, and asked: "Is your surname Zhou, Wang, or Su?"

Zhou is Zhou Du|husband, Wang is Wang Zhice, and Su is Su Li.

In the past thousand years, only these three people have broken through the Saintess Peak and broken through Nanxi Zhai's sword formation. However, even they spent a long time and put a lot of effort into it.

Who in the Tianhai family can match these three legends now? Who can have the confidence to break through the Nanxi Zhai Sword Formation and enter the small building to kill Chen Changsheng before the Pope appears?

After hearing this, the nephew was speechless, blushed and lowered his head. ?

Tianhai Chengwu glanced at his son who remained silent, and then said indifferently to the clansmen: "The saint is smart and her deduction skills are unparalleled in the world. There is no loophole left."

…

…

"The state religion will naturally protect Chen Changsheng. The Holy Lady thought that because she was willing to protect Chen Changsheng, the Holy Queen might be wary, or at least not take action personally, so Chen Changsheng is safe, but she forgot one thing The thing is, Chen Changsheng is not a dead person."

Zhou Tong looked at his subordinates and said expressionlessly: "Since he is not dead, he must have his own ideas. If he wants to leave the National Education Academy, who can stop him?"

The subordinates didn't quite understand and asked, "Why did he come out?"

Zhou Tong stood in front of the court, looking at the crabapple tree and saying nothing.

He had seen the letters sent between Tianji Pavilion and the imperial palace.

Old Man Tianji said in the biography that Chen Changsheng was about to die.

He knew that people like Chen Changsheng would never die quietly like this.

…

…

The wine glass fell on the hard pear wood table, making a dull yet clear sound. Tianhai Shengxue, who had just returned to Beijing from Yongxue Pass, raised his head and looked mockingly at the brothers and sisters in the hall. Finally, his eyes fell on his father and said, "We can only wait until he walks out of the Traditional Chinese Education Academy."

Tianhai Chengwu's expression softened, and he was a little relieved. However, the next moment, the relief disappeared with the night wind, his expression became serious again, and his voice became colder.

"He will come out. As long as he takes a step outside the Chinese Academy of Education, we will kill him."

…

…

The night was as peaceful as before, as if the fallen figures before were just illusions, and not many terrible assassins had come before and were killed one by one.

Zhexiu quietly looked at the lakeside, confirming that all the assassins were dead, but his mood did not become lighter. He was still a little worried, so he slid down from the banyan tree and walked towards the small building.

Countless sword intentions are hidden and silent, secretly following the laws of heaven and earth, intertwined in the space around the small building. If someone breaks in without authorization, countless terrifying sword lights will inevitably be triggered.

Zhexiu turned a blind eye and walked over.

Those sword intentions were still hidden in the night, without being stimulated, and they slashed towards his body. The disciples of Nan Xizhai were very aware of the relationship between him and Chen Changsheng. The saint was invited into the palace, and they really couldn't make a decision in such a short time.

There is no truly perfect calculation method in the world. Even if Xu Yourong is very good at deduction and has the starry sky in his horoscope, he still cannot figure out some things, such as the human heart.

Zhexiu just walked through the sword array of Nanxi Zhai and walked into the small building.

Then, he saw Tang Sanliu.

Tang Sanshiliu was very worried about Chen Changsheng, so it was natural that he would appear here. It was obvious that all the arrangements Xu Yourong left had no effect on him.

"What is he doing? Zhe Xiu looked at Tang Sanliu and asked.

Only half a day passed, and Tang Sanliu looked much tired.

The fact that Chen Changsheng was about to die put everyone under great psychological pressure. As Chen Changsheng's best friend, his mood was greatly affected.

Tang Sanliu didn't answer his words, looking at the closed door of the room with a sad expression.

Zhe Xiu said no more, walked up directly and opened the door.

There was no one in the room.

Seeing the empty bed and unoccupied desk, his and Tang Sanliu's expressions suddenly changed.

A moment later, Su Moyu, who received the summons, also arrived here.

"what to do?"

Su Moyu looked very anxious and said, "We have to inform the palace immediately."

After a moment of silence, Zhexiu said, "No."

"There is a kind of giant beast that, when it knows that it is about to die, will walk to a very distant place by itself and wait quietly for the last moment to come. It does not want to be seen by anyone. Maybe it thinks that this way it can retain its last dignity. .”

Tang Sanshiliu said: "This is probably what Chen Changsheng thinks."

Zhexiu said: "Cats will do the same thing before they die."

The bedding on the bed was folded neatly, like tofu cubes. The desk and bookshelf were spotless, as if they had just been bought today. Chen Changsheng seemed to have taken nothing with him when he left, including the old books on the bookshelf and that one. The bamboo dragonfly was soaked in water, but Xuanyuan Po was not here at this time, otherwise he might have found that the kitchen of the National Education Academy was missing a kitchen knife for chopping bones.

In addition, Ye Xiaolian walked into the library to rest and found a small box next to the quilt. When she opened the box, she saw a letter signed by Chen Changsheng. He said it was for Xu Yourong.

At midnight, half an hour before these things happened, Chen Changsheng jumped out of the library window, walked through the dense woods, and came to the kitchen on the other side of the lake. He took out a kitchen knife and opened a yellow paper umbrella. , climbed over the newly built wall, and left the National Education College.

The female disciples of Nanxi Zhai found that the target of their protection had disappeared. Not long after, the news spread to the manor on the outskirts of the city and the courtyard in Beibingsi Hutong.

Naturally, the crabapple trees in early autumn have no flowers in bloom and have not yet had time to shed their leaves. They are as green as grass and blowing in the night breeze. The starlight fell on the bright red official robe, and then reflected under the crabapple tree. The green leaves that were rising and falling were coated with a layer of scarlet color, as if they had turned into a sea of ​​blood.

"I don't like any variables that are out of control. I hope you can eliminate this variable as soon as possible. In other words, you only have one night to find him."

Zhou Tong stood on the steps, looking at the dark crowd of officials kneeling all over the courtyard, and said expressionlessly: "Then I don't care what method you use, you must kill him."

The officials in the courtyard were silent and dispersed like a tide, leaving only the lonely crabapple tree and two officials wearing red official robes.

There are very few officials who are qualified to stand side by side with Zhou Tong, and Cheng Jun is one of them. As a powerful minister who was also deeply trusted by the Holy Empress, he was only ranked below Zhou Tong in the folk title of Eight Tigers.

"It's one thing to break into the National Education Academy at night and assassinate him. If we still want to kill him in Kyoto after he leaves the National Education Academy, this is an open killing... The Pope will not let us go."

Cheng Jun served as the Minister of Dali Temple, but he did not have any sense of solemnity given by Zhou Lu. He had an upside-down triangular eyebrow, a flat nose, and thin lips. His appearance alone was extremely disgusting.

The officials initially employed by the Holy Empress were all extremely rejected by the officialdom and had been frustrated, because at the beginning, no official with both talent and political integrity was willing to be loyal to her.

"Except for the empress, who in the world has ever been willing to let people like us go?"

There was a faint smile on Zhou Tong's face. Under the starlight, his face looked a little pale, as if he was not alive, and his smile looked weird and scary.

…

…

The news of Chen Changsheng's departure from the National Education Academy reached the manor, and the Tianhai family's discussion ended in a hurry. People quickly dispersed, and the family's will spread throughout Kyoto. From the Yulin Army to Kyoto Prefecture, countless people entered the night and tried to Find Chen Changsheng and kill him.

Tianhai Chengwu walked to the autumn tree and looked at the bright lights in the distance. He was silent for a long time without saying anything - that was Gan Terrace, the empress's favorite place to stay.

Looking at his father's back, Tianhai Shengxue was also silent. He felt that something was wrong today. Of course it is not easy to kill Chen Changsheng, but the entire Tianhai family should not be allowed to rage like this, because the battle is too big, and because it may not be possible to find Chen Changsheng, but it will make it easier to alert the people over there. , even somewhat like a kind of notification, why?
