Qing Yan

The wind is hunting, rolling up clusters of snowflakes, dancing wildly in the cold night.

This is the capital of Beizheng, Daijing.

It is cold in the north, especially in the twelfth lunar month of winter.Because of the heavy snowfall, the people in Dai capital, rich or poor, all closed their doors and hid in their houses to keep warm.

After all, it is the capital of the country. The candlelight shining through the windows of every household in the wind and snow, accompanied by the cold moonlight and the warm light of lanterns occasionally appearing on the doors of rich and noble families, one can imagine the prosperity of the day.

White and clean, not only snow——

"Chachacha"...

A snow-colored figure passed through several rows of houses on Yujie in an instant.This person's lightness kung fu is superb, it can be said that there is no trace of snow, only when the toes brush the snow on the roof, can he hear the slight sound that can be ignored.

But in the blink of an eye, this person has jumped through the room, and the target is the towering dark forbidden palace wall not far away.

For ordinary people, in such a cold weather, they wish they could wrap all their clothes—single, padded, and cotton—in order to muster up the courage to go out.

Chai Qi is not afraid.

Her martial arts cultivation is unfathomable. If it is really about cultivation in this world, I am afraid that only her mentor on Kunlun Mountain who is dedicated to soaring can surpass her.

Thinking of that person's kindness in nurturing and teaching, and thinking of that person's ruthlessness, Chai Qi's chest felt uncomfortable.She simply stopped on the crest of the palace wall, using a high wall to hide her figure.

That person, don't want to!

Chai Qi exerted his internal strength slightly, and the thin white shirt covering her slender figure shook lightly, shaking off the flakes of white snow sticking to it.

She didn't dare to think about Master's people—the more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt the urge to slap someone.

However, she had to listen to Master's words.She lived in her twenties, and since she can remember, Master has been her only relative, and she has long been used to listening to Master.Except for her admiration for her master, she obeyed her master's orders in everything.

What's more, she also loves Yu Wenrui from the bottom of her heart, lest she go into danger for the "non-attack" sword.Anyway, I am also someone who is loved and loved by no one, and running errands for Yu Wenrui will not make anyone frightened.

Chai Qi couldn't help laughing at himself, and jumped into the palace wall.

The sword is called "Fei Gong", but it is actually a murderous weapon in the world.Moreover, that sword used to be the saber of Emperor Gaozu of the Great Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenning. Gaozu seldom failed in battles in his life, and assisted the Tai|Zu to unify the world. She was famous and admired by many people in the world, including Beizheng. Emperor Yang Lie.Chai Qi had seen this sword hanging from Yang Lie's belt from afar.

Since it was regarded as a saber, Yang Lie must have carried this sharp weapon with him, so, as long as he found Yang Lie's bedroom, it would be fine.

It's just that Yang Lie, the emperor's reputation is not justified, he forced the palace to sit on the throne on the blood of his father and his brother's family.It is said that he was extremely afraid that someone would plot against him, so he slept in a different place every night, not to mention the empress and concubines, even his personal attendants did not know in advance where he was going to sleep.

Chai Qi had secretly investigated the layout of Beizheng Forbidden Palace before, so she is not very worried at the moment.She believed that no matter how deeply Yang Lie hid and how tightly he guarded, there would always be traces to follow.

Teams of guards routinely patrolling in the Forbidden Palace are all in a hurry, with their necks hunched, eager to deal with the matter quickly so that they can find a warm place to cool off.So, no one noticed her presence.In addition to Chai Qi's high martial arts skills, she can be said to be walking on the ground in this forbidden palace.

In this way, as long as you search patiently, you will definitely be able to find Yang Lie's place.

Chai Qi could take back the sword for Yu Wenrui for the sake of personal friendship, but she never thought of killing Yang Lie.As far as she is concerned, it has nothing to do with her that Great Zhou and Beizheng, Yuwen family and Yang family are fighting for the world, just like her surname is Yuwen, but she has no intention of being the Ninth Five Lord.She is from the rivers and lakes, and she follows the way of martial arts, whoever dominates the world, so what?

Chai Qi wandered around Beizheng's forbidden palace for about a quarter of an hour, but with her footsteps and cultivation, she couldn't even find out where Yang Lie was.She is a little impatient.

While he was anxious, he suddenly heard a scream from the northeast: "There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Immediately afterwards, there was chaos, some people shouted "Catch the Assassin", there were also the sound of crackling boots, clanging of weapons and armor...

Chai Qi was overjoyed: where the assassin is, most likely it is where Yang Lie lives.It's really effortless!

Using her lightness kung fu, she went straight to the northeast.

After all, the Imperial Forest Army was well-trained, and after only a moment of panic, an officer commanded soldiers to surround the gate of a palace.There was the sound of many people running at the same time in the distance, and Chai Qi knew that it was the Royal Forest Army who had heard the news and came to reinforce them.

She perched on a tall tree near the besieged palace, watching more and more soldiers under her feet, and a man who looked like a general shouted: "Archers, guard the gate of the palace, don't let the assassin go! This general enters the hall to escort him!"

When Chai Qi heard the word "escort", he was refreshed: Yang Lie must be here!

She was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and she couldn't wait, so she exerted a little force on her feet, and a snow-white streak crossed the dark blue night sky, passing silently above everyone's heads, and landed on the ridge of the temple.Putting her hand on the tightly closed window sill, she spat out forcefully, with a crisp sound of "嗤啦", the window sill shattered.Chai Qi turned into a cat and rolled into the room.

Stepping on the halo of candlelight, Chai Qi quickly crossed the double palace gates, "Ping Ping Ping Pang Pong" weapons interlaced, shouts, and screams became louder and louder, and the smell of blood at the end of his nose became heavier and heavier.

Chai Qi frowned secretly: Someone died, and he died with a lot of blood.

She clenched her heart for no reason——

The sound of shouting and shouting, the sound of fighting is still there, it means that the dead are not assassins, or... some assassins are dead, but there are still alive...

Chai Qi's heart tightened again involuntarily.

Her steps didn't stop for a moment.Faintly, she saw the scene in front of her clearly: in the magnificent and complicated palace, in the distance, all the guards almost formed a circle, and it was obvious that the assassin was undoubtedly in that circle.There are earth dragons on the ground in the hall, and the warm heat is transpiring, like the warm sun in spring, but there is a strong smell of blood in the air. Being steamed by the heat, it makes people feel nauseous.

Chai Qi frowned, followed the smell, and saw that two feet away, there was a pool of blood, and several bodies were curled up in the pool of blood, motionless, obviously dead.One of the men was dressed in a different way. He was wearing bright yellow pajamas, and he was soaked through by the blood gurgling from his chest.

Bright yellow!

Chai Qi was shocked, and hurried over——

It was Yang Lie without a doubt.

Yang Lie was actually killed by an assassin!

With a thought in his mind, Chai Qi's eyes flicked over the palace wall.

Sure enough, on the side wall of the spacious and luxurious bed, at the height of a person, the black-golden scabbard was silent in the bloody atmosphere and the bleak halo, and two simple seal characters were chiseled on it: Feigong.

Chai Qi rushed over to take off the sword without hesitation, and tied it to his back.

This series of actions of hers was only in the blink of an eye, and the speed of her movement was probably at most the effort of a few rounds of fighting in the distance.

Now that he has succeeded, Chai Qi doesn't want to stay any longer.As for who the assassin is, whether he is dead or alive, this is not what she is interested in.

She carried the "non-gong" sword and planned to leave.But just as he took a step, he heard a muffled groan, apparently the assassin was injured by the weapon.

She has a high level of cultivation, so her hearing power is naturally extraordinary.That snort sounded very familiar.

Chai Qi froze, and turned his head in disbelief.In the next instant, her figure rose from the ground, splitting the encirclement like a bolt of lightning.

Her palms were flying, and she couldn't see clearly how she made the move or how she made the move. She could only hear the painful cries of "ouch" and "ouch" from all the guards, and a dozen of them fell down in an instant. A hole was forcibly opened in the encirclement.

Chai Qi didn't stop for a moment, and picked up the woman who was surrounded by the core like a blood gourd before, and flew out of the hall with her feet flat, turned again, and spun onto the ridge of the hall.

The guards of Beizheng and the Imperial Forest Army were horrified, they lost their minds for a moment, a few clever ones came to their senses first, and roared loudly: "Catch the assassin! Don't let the assassin escape!"

The archers guarding outside the hall only felt a white shadow flicker in front of them, and then heard the roar in the hall, and hurriedly raised their bows and arrows.For a moment, arrows poured down like torrential rain.

Chai Qi carried the Blood Gourd Assassin, climbed up to the ridge of the palace and did not dare to stop, running quickly.Suddenly, she heard the sound of piercing the air behind her, she knew how powerful she was, she didn't dare to hold her back, she pulled her body upwards, at the same time, her robe sleeves fluttered in the wind, wrapping up more than a dozen arrows, and the robe sleeves shook again, Return the same way.In an instant, there were screams one after another from under his feet.

clack la la la——

A secret door was opened from the outside, and the pale moonlight was projected in, adding a bit of light to this place that rarely sees the sun.

Under the moonlight, the middle-aged man with a pale face couldn't wait to rush in, and couldn't wait for the secret door to be closed, so he rushed to the old man sitting on the couch, and said anxiously: "My lord! There is something important!"

In the candlelight, the old man's closed eyes slowly opened, calm as water, and as calm as his voice: "Fu Yao, you have been with me for decades, why are you still so frizzy?"

When the man saw those eyes, it seemed as if his heart had poured into the sweet spring in an instant, and the impetuosity in his body disappeared. He bowed guiltily and saluted: "Yes! What the lord taught is true! It is indeed the subordinate's irritability. gone."

The old man said lightly: "What happened?"

The man frowned, "Yang Lie is dead!"

"Ah!" Hearing this, the old man was no longer calm, "How did you die?"

"He was killed by an assassin. The details are still unclear."

The old man let out a breath slowly, with a rare three-point smile on his face: "God help me!"

He took a deep look at the middle-aged man, and said again: "Tell Qing'er, follow Wei Wu's example."

The middle-aged man named "Fu Yao" thought for a while, and then he understood, and couldn't help praising: "The lord is wise! This subordinate will do it now!"
