Since I met you, people are dying every day

The weak emperor did not last a few years, the prince rebelled and was placed under house arrest, the little prince ascended the throne, and the King of Xiang assisted in the administration.Zhou Yi's fists were clenched, he and Xia Shu both persuaded that the little emperor would grow up, and sooner or later he would not be able to bear King Xiang.

Zhou Yi didn't take it seriously and didn't say anything.

Year after year, the days can go on slowly.

When he came out of the pharmacy that day, his steps were unusually heavy.

When he came back, Zhou Yi and Xia Shu were still chatting and laughing.The two boys have grown up, Xia Shuchang is a bit stronger, Zhou Yiguang has grown up, and he is still thin and fragile.

He called Zhou Yi out first, and Zhou Yi thought he was going to take a martial arts exam, so he got ready with a dagger in his pocket.He shot suddenly, and Zhou Yi reacted faster.The two of them fought on the ground, and leaped to the roof a few times. Zhou Yi still fought on the ground as if walking on the ground. They exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant.

He dropped his hand and nodded slightly.Just now when he released the strength from the dagger, Zhou Yi was almost evenly matched with him.Zhou Yi learned ten percent of his lightness kung fu.

He asked Zhou Yi to step back, and called Xia Shu who was watching worriedly. "Tianshu, I'll teach you the sword again." Xia Shu responded strangely. It was rare for him to disassemble the sword technique and teach him move by move.

"Okay, let's fight again." He finally put away his sword and stood aside.Sure enough, Xia Shu practiced that set of sword skills completely, his body is like a dragon, sometimes leaping, sometimes lurking, silver light flashes slightly, and cold stars are dotted.A sword makes the clouds flow.

He was not very satisfied, so he drew his sword and demonstrated it again.Xia Shu also called again.

He shook his head, "Come again." Sure enough, Xia Shu hit him a third time.

This sharp sword move really did not suit his temperament.

"Barely." He finally relaxed his brows and brought the two of them together. "I have nothing more to teach you, you can go."

The two brothers looked at each other and didn't dare to answer. He went into the house, collected their things, made a bag, then rummaged through the silver he had collected, stuffed most of it into the bag, and then stuffed the bag into the bag. Xia Tian stretched his arms, and pushed the two brothers out the door. "let's go!"

"Master, where are you going?" Zhou Yi asked calmly.

He smiled gratifiedly, this child is more sensitive and intelligent than Tian Shu, and the two brothers just complement each other. "Go to the capital." He still answered honestly.

Now both of them changed their expressions, Zhou Yi wanted to ask again, but Xia Shu pulled him back, and they knelt down and kowtowed.

Surprised, he quickly helped the two of them up. "As soon as I leave, I don't know when I will come back, so don't stay here." To avoid being implicated.

He didn't say a word, but Zhou Yi showed a clear expression.

"Master, we'll wait for you to come back." These words came from Xia Shu's mouth, and he smiled more gratifiedly, listening to him talk about where to choose to stay, and didn't ask how to contact him.

"Let's go!"

When he arrived in the capital, he picked up a clean inn and stayed generously.During the day, I would go to the streets to buy some market gadgets, strike up a conversation with people at will, and go back to my room to rest after dinner at night.

When the night was silent, he would sneak away to the palace.

No matter day or night, the imperial palace is guarded by big insiders.However, in the huge imperial city, the defenses are tight and weak everywhere, and there are thousands of differences.

A few days later, he was ready to act. When the clouds were thick and the moon was dim, he landed silently on the top of a palace.His target is the harem.In the past few days, he has inquired clearly that this palace is located in a remote place. The original owner hanged himself because he was found to be involved in witchcraft. The palace has long been abandoned, and the defense is much weaker than other parts of the harem.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the sound of someone walking.He glanced accurately, and saw a black shadow flash past on the opposite roof.

He is not the only assassin in the palace tonight.

He steadied himself, held his breath, and watched without moving.

There was the sound of walking on the ground.An eight or nine-year-old boy wore a bright yellow satin cloak, embroidered with gold thread into an unknown pattern, shadowy as he walked, his belt was decorated with water gemstones, and the melon skin hat was inlaid with bright pearls.When he saw the bright yellow color, he didn't even dare to vent his anger.This is the emperor.

The little emperor was followed by only his father-in-law. He walked here for a while and then stopped in front of the palace where he was hiding. With his hands behind his back, his immature voice pretended to be mature, "This is where the concubine mother used to live."

He was downwind, and the voice clearly wafted to his ears.

The little emperor was pampered but seemed to be malnourished, wrapped in layers of luxurious clothes, his figure was still so thin, his stature was not short, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt weak.He couldn't help but think of Zhou Yi when he was young.

The father-in-law behind him said sharply, "Your Majesty, you only have one queen mother."

The little emperor didn't refute, he couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance, he took a few steps in the opposite direction, looked up at the sky: "The weather is not good today."

The father-in-law still replied respectfully behind him: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's very cold outside, you'd better go back to the bedroom early."

Before the little emperor could answer, a silver light flashed across the roof of the opposite palace, cutting through the air and flying towards him.

It was a short arrow, he saw it clearly, but he didn't have time to react.

"Oh!" The father-in-law threw the little emperor down almost instantly, and the arrow was shot in the neck, and blood gushed out. He could see it clearly, even if he didn't quench the poison, he couldn't be saved.

This was not over yet, another silver light flew towards the bewildered little emperor, he moved his hand lightly, and the two silver needles flew towards the opposite direction.With a ding, the short arrow deviated from the direction and plunged into the ground.After a subdued exclamation from the other side, the figure on the roof swayed and fell to the ground.

"Who is it!?" The little emperor pushed away the corpse and stood up.

No one answered.The assassin probably fell and passed out.

The little emperor raised his head towards the direction where the silver needle was flying, and put his hands behind his back, as if he was sure that he would not hurt himself, "You saved me, and I will forgive you for trespassing, but if you refuse to show your body, I will forgive you." I can only pass on the big insiders to deal with you."

It was an interesting reaction.With a chuckle, he stood up, with black clothes and black hair, his facial features could not be seen clearly from a distance.

"You know how to kill people? That's right, you must have broken into the harem to kill people." The little emperor muttered to himself, "Then how about you kill someone for me?"

"You dare not refuse your Majesty's order, but His Majesty has countless powerful insiders at your disposal, and the grassroots dare not speak nonsense." He can probably guess who the little emperor wants to kill, and his words are just like those of Zhou when they first met. Yi.

"Do you know what crime it is to trespass in the palace!?" The little emperor lowered his voice, but the waxy child's voice made the emperor's thunderous anger compromised.

He smiled again, "The grassroots also know what a crime it is to assassinate the regent."

"You guessed it?" The little emperor's voice was not much surprised, "The father-in-law said that the people hate him, so why don't you help me kill him?"

"Caomin's relationship with His Majesty is here, so let's leave it alone." He didn't answer, but casually cupped his hands at the little emperor, "Caomin has a disciple, and he may be able to relieve His Majesty's worries in the future." After speaking, he stood up, Leaving the little emperor's voice behind: "What's his name?"

"Zhou Yi." Only his last answer remained, and his figure was no longer visible in the night sky.

The little emperor stood thoughtfully for a while, then turned around and walked towards the palace, shouting loudly to the Imperial Forest Army as he walked.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as he walked to the center of the imperial city, he saw a group of imperial guards rushing over, suddenly knelt down in front of him, and the leader leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is incompetent, and the Queen Mother was assassinated." Already!"

A look of panic flashed across the little emperor's face. "Impossible, he obviously..."

"Your Majesty?" The leader of the Imperial Forest Army was still kneeling on the ground.

The emperor came back to his senses, "Get up quickly, how is the Queen Mother's place? Has the imperial doctor been passed on?"

The leader of the Imperial Forest Army straightened up, his face was full of tears, he didn't pay attention to the address His Majesty called his mother at all. "The empress dowager...the empress is dead!"

After he left the capital, he headed south all the way.The south is good. In the south, there are Wu Nong's soft words, silk and bamboo music, stone bridge frost and moon, and Xia Shu and Zhou Yi.

He didn't plan to go to the original pharmacy to get a reward anymore. The Queen Mother passed away, and the whole world knew it. It was satisfactory enough to stop here, and maybe there was still a glimmer of life.

When he began to wonder what he would do for a living, he remembered the medical skills he had learned to kill people and save his life.

He forgot how long it took to meet Xia Shu and Zhou Yi, and the two children bowed their heads excitedly when they met him.The grown-up Zhou Yi is still tall and thin, while Tian Shu has gained weight and still has a kind and kind smile.

When the two of them met, they asked him to teach them martial arts. He watched them sparring once, and shook his head, "I can't teach you anything."

I also heard about their business, but I just smiled and said nothing.Everyone has his own life, he never said anything.

He found a pharmacy in the place where they settled down to make a living.All killers know a thing or two about disguise, so it's not difficult to pretend to be a fairy-tale old doctor.Zhou Yi and Xia Shu would also visit him when they were free and treat him to a meal.Zhou Yi can still play the flute, and he is still sad and clear.

Life is carefree and carefree, which is a leisure that he has never expected before.

until that day.

He wiped and wiped the dagger that never left his body, and put away the poisoned silver needles one by one.He sighed.

He really owes that boy Zhou Yi.

Just listening to him play a few tunes would cost his life.

After King Xiang was detained, the emperor decreed to put him under house arrest in Zhongcui Palace.

The Zhongcui Palace belongs to the Sixth East Palace, which is against the rules. The civil and military official memorials have been written, and the emperor is eager to try. The emperor only raised his eyebrows, "The emperor's uncle has worked hard and has served the government for many years. Why can't he live in the harem?"

Nobody said anything more.The emperor has not reached the crown year, but since he dealt with King Xiang vigorously and eliminated his party feathers, no one dared to challenge his majesty.

The emperor had a habit of walking alone in the middle of the night, wandering around the palace where King Xiang was under house arrest every time, not going in to see the prince, and going back when he was tired.

The imperial army was full of doubts.But today's big internal masters are all single-handedly selected by the emperor, and the imperial city guards are as indestructible as iron barrels.

It was another night, gloomy and gloomy.The emperor stood outside the hall for a long time, heard the exclamation and fighting inside the hall, saw the lights flickering on and off, but remained silent, and only waited for everything to calm down, saying: "It's been a long time since your Excellency has changed his mind?"

"Cao Min and Your Majesty have never met before." The tall and thin young man in black on the roof said coldly.

The emperor thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Your Excellency is Zhou Yi?"

The man seemed to be taken aback, "My name is Xia Shu." He left a word rudely and disappeared.

The emperor was a little disappointed, but immediately relieved, and called out Habayashi Wei who had just been transferred away. "King Xiang was assassinated. You must be blamed for the crime of dereliction of duty. Go to the commander of the Jingwei tomorrow to accept the crime."

The soldiers all knelt down to give thanks.

He also ordered people to pass on the imperial physician, and after confirming that the king of Xiang was dead, he went to his respective duties and walked towards other places in the imperial city.I don't know how many people have been engulfed in this dark place.

It was late at night, and it was bitterly cold.

He suddenly remembered that the night his mother and concubine hanged herself, it was the same scene. The palace guards led him to the queen's palace.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the condensed white mist quickly dispersed.
