Dear, suggest that the villain usurp the throne?

Horseshoes are galloping in the silence.

This mysterious army reappeared for the first time after the death of the late emperor.

All the soldiers wore dark blue cloaks with wide brims covering their faces in the shadows.Under the Iron Cavalry, suppress life, crime, and all shadows that stand in front of the throne.The rapid breathing of the horses and the roar of iron hooves on the frozen ground were the only sounds of this sharp arrow passing through the darkness.

No torches, no rest.They seem to have natural guide lights, guiding them all the way forward and moving toward their goals with all their strength.

Soon, the city walls of the capital appeared in front of them.

Like a fork in a river, the secret magic army gathered together just now, like a condensed sword, separated automatically and smoothly, divided into several strands along the city wall, and did not enter the capital.

Lu Yu and the dark guard led a small group of soldiers from the secret army around half of the capital and entered the city from the other side.The city gate was only half open, and after entering the city gate, they dismounted and walked slowly, keeping the noise to a minimum.

Lou Qingyan withdrew from the summoning state and followed behind them. After getting off the horse, she gasped for a while on the spot, and led the horse to keep up with the large army.

He found that Eleven was secretly looking at himself.

But Eleven didn't show it very clearly, just glanced at him, and then walked to the front of the team as if nothing had happened.

The reins were tightened in Lou Qingyan's palm.He took a deep breath, stared at Lu Yu's surrounded back, and raised his feet.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he turned his head to look at the city gate that was slowly closing behind him.

There seems to be movement outside the city gate.

But as the city gate closed, Lou Qingyan couldn't take a second look, and that uneasy premonition could only be hidden in her stomach.

From the city gate to the palace gate, at their speed, it took about two quarters of an hour. Although there was a curfew, in order not to startle the snake, the group of them directly entered an inn next to the city gate, entered the inn through the back door, and settled down.

This inn is the property of the imperial merchant. At this time, there is no customer in it, and the only shopkeeper is Lu Yu's confidant.

"Everyone rests and takes turns to be on duty. Tomorrow morning after the market opens, pretend to be a vendor and leave. The dark guards will enter the palace with me before dawn."

All lead.

In order to be able to catch the fish of King Yan, everything was done in secret, trying to avoid arousing the enemy, breaking up such an army and a whole dark guard into parts, and transporting them into the capital scattered.

They were the first batch, and the soldiers of the secret magic army hidden outside the city would be divided into more than a dozen waves in the next three days. Lu Yu entered the capital just like them today.

Those present were all well-trained soldiers and hidden guards, and they all scattered to their positions without making a sound.

The shopkeeper led the way for Lu Yu and left him the largest guest room on the third floor.

Lou Qingyan and the dark guard were assigned to a room on the second floor.

After descending the mountain, the team was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and even the rest was as orderly as a machine.

The night was very quiet, so quiet that even the wind outside the window could be heard clearly through the window.

When Eleven was on the mountain, he told him that if Lou Qingyan decided to leave, he could help Lou Qingyan before entering the palace.And if Lou Qingyan didn't give him an answer before entering the palace, then the next time Lou Qingyan does the same unexplainable and ulterior motives as before, Eleven will risk being beheaded by Lu Yu, Desperately deal with him on the spot.

At that time, on the mountain, Lou Qingyan told Eleven that he would consider it.

Until they entered the capital, Lou Qingyan did not give eleven answers.

Lou Qingyan knew that before the hidden guards of this inn escorted Lu Yu back to the palace, he had to give an answer.

With the answer in her heart, Lou Qingyan also knew what to do.

In Choushi, everyone except the secret guard on duty fell asleep, Lou Qingyan pushed open the door and walked out of her room.

He walked to the end of the corridor and found Eleven's room. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but his hand stopped in midair.

Lou Qingyan turned her head, looked at the stairs on one side, and couldn't help but glance up.

Lu Yu lived on the third floor.

boom--

The door in front of him opened, Eleven looked at Lou Qingyan coldly, and the latter was still in the posture of about to knock on the door.

"Why don't you just come in?"

Lou Qingyan withdrew her hand, lowered her head and chuckled softly.

Eleven's eyes were sharp, and he stabbed at Lou Qingyan's body: "What are you laughing at?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to tell you that I'm willing to leave."

Only then did Eleven's eyes soften.

Lou Qingyan opened his mouth, and finally turned his head to look at the stairs leading to the third floor: "Let me see him one last time."

"Since you have made up your mind, don't drag your feet. Otherwise, you will only make yourself regret it."

"I know," Lou Qingyan smiled, "but before we went to the secret magic army, I told His Majesty that I would fight for him. If we leave without saying goodbye, everything we said before will be reduced to powder. Don't worry, I will I won't give him a chance."

Eleven closed his mouth, glanced at the stairs, and did not speak for a long time.

Lou Qingyan thought he agreed: "After a quarter of an hour, wait outside the inn. The secret guard on duty here will be handed over to you."

After speaking, he stepped up the stairs and walked to Lu Yu's door.

The hidden guard in front of Lu Yu's gate saw him coming, and just took a look, as if nothing had happened, and turned his head away.

Lou Qingyan quietly opened the door.Half of the candles in the room were extinguished, and the two candles on the side table were still burning. The halo flickered in the room, making it difficult to see the room clearly.

Lou Qingyan stepped into the room, closed the door, and walked slowly to Lu Yu's bed. The curtain in front of the bed was pulled down, and the inside could not be seen clearly.

All was quiet.

He fell asleep?

Lou Qingyan narrowed her eyes regretfully, it seemed that the last farewell could not be said.I just hope he doesn't take what he said before he set off as a lie.

"Why did you come to see me?"

Lou Qingyan hurriedly turned her head, only to find that Lu Yu was standing against the window, hiding in the shadow of the corner.

"Why are you standing like this?"

Lu Yu made a booing gesture to him, and pointed out the window with his finger.

Lou Qingyan frowned, what happened outside the window?

There were shadows outside the window, and a few people walked along the corner of the wall, obviously they were martial arts practitioners.They seemed to be walking around the inn, observing something.

Is this one of their people, breaking up and entering the capital as I said before?

No, their body shape is not like the soldiers of the secret magic army, they don't have their killing spirit, they don't have straight backs and quick movements like them. out of the temperament.

"these are……"

Lou Qingyan wanted to speak, but suddenly, Lu Yu covered his mouth and dragged him in front of him, away from the window.

Lu Yu's voice was as low as a mosquito's, and he whispered in his ear: "We are not the only ones who will enter the city secretly tonight."

"There are also Rongguo's Qingqi." Lou Qingyan also whispered.

After the death of the old lady Fu, the Emperor Rongguo was furious, and the army suppressed the country.Xia Guo dealt with them, which temporarily eased Rong Guo's anger and delayed the start of the war, but they promised Rong Guo that they allowed Rong Guo to send a light cavalry that "can fully protect Rong Guo's envoys" into Xia Guo's capital.

Qingqi was originally scheduled to arrive after dawn, but this Qingqi was mixed with some "killers" and "assassins" to secretly disturb the water in Xia Guo's capital, which would make Lu Yu more passive.

And the few they saw were probably the assassins mixed in with the Qingqi. They entered the city earlier than the Qingqi troops, and their purpose was to escape Xia Guo's surveillance.

Lou Qingyan said softly: "It looks like they should have caught us entering the city. Are you going to kill them? The dark guards have already outflanked us"

Lu Yu hummed softly, affirming his conjecture.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and asked, "What are you looking for at this time?"

They were very close now, Lu Yu dragged him in front of him, his chest pressed against Lou Qingyan's back, his exhaled breath blew the loose hair from Lou Qingyan's temples and his earlobes.

Lou Qingyan was about the same height as him, but much thinner than him. He didn't have the muscles that a martial arts student should have. Leaning against Lu Yu's chest, it seemed that he could be completely wrapped.

His eyes fluttered, and he coughed lightly: "I'm here to thank you."

"Thank you? Are you here to thank me?" Lu Yu asked.

Suddenly, a burst of sword intent pierced through the air, stuffing his question back into his throat.

Lu Yu turned sideways in time and pushed Lou Qingyan away.

In an instant, he was like an enraged lion, his mane stood up all over his body, his eyes narrowed into a menacing slit.

The moment the sword intent was generated, the guards of the entire inn poured out.The killer who was spying outside was surrounded by them, and a street fight started!

"No, the sword just now was not released by the killer outside the window!"

Lou Qingyan stood up.

Lu Yu drew out his saber: "But we are with those bastards outside the window."

Who would have a brain twitch to assassinate Lu Yu?

He didn't grow up in a deep palace, but an emperor who fought on the battlefield.

Not to mention the number of hidden guards around him, only with his own strength, there are very few people in the entire continent who can hurt him.

The action outside the window was very swift.Lu Yu's hidden guards are all first-class masters, and they quickly and silently eliminated these people who were watching in the dark.But the person who released the sword just now seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.

Lou Qingyan called up the auxiliary panel in his mind, which clearly revealed the owner of the sword.

"Yu Feng, the best in the last three days, the chief disciple of Rongguo Da Hunyuan, with vicious swordsmanship, good at hidden weapons."

The best products in the last three days are also different.Like Lu Yu, he followed the orthodox faction, and his moves and moves were full of true energy; while this swordsman followed the slant, and his ability to assassinate in the dark was much better than one-on-one.In this way, when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, he obviously has many advantages.

Lu Yu also guessed the identity of the comer after a short thought: "The disciple of the Great Hunyuan."

Lou Qingyan had a complicated knot in his heart.

He obviously just wanted to take a look at Lu Yu and leave.Why was he dragged into the battlefield like this?

dong dong dong-

The hidden guard pushed open the door and reported: "Your Majesty, the sneaky villains outside have been subdued, please Your Majesty..."

A blood hole popped out on his forehead!

The dark guard stared and fell to the ground in front of Lu Yu and Lou Qingyan!

The two looked out the window angrily.The hidden guard was facing the window when he pushed the door and came in, and the people outside threw hidden weapons from the window when he came in!

It was a demonstration to them, and none of them found out where the man was.

Lou Qingyan's ears moved suddenly, and there was a sound!

"He ran up to our roof." He had a bad face.

Suddenly, Lu Yu swung a sword aura violently!

The sword qi containing the best true qi of the last three days seems to be able to break through the sky, and penetrate the roof of the inn!

Debris flew across, destroying the dead.

The hole in the roof gave a direct view of the dark sky.A piece of clothing slipped across the hole.

He should have been at the position where Lu Yu drew his sword just now, but he was quick enough to avoid Lu Yu's sword.

A male voice gloated: "Ah, ah, the emperor, I told you that you are so precious, don't poke your head out of the crowd. You see, it's just these few hidden guards, can they stop me? "

Some of the hidden guards were arrested outside the inn, while the rest of the hidden guards inside the inn sounded like they had already encountered misfortune.

"Where's Eleven?" Lu Yu spat out a few words through his teeth.

Lou Qingyan was taken aback.Eleven said that he would wait for him outside the inn, and that when that happened, he would arrest the killer outside as soon as possible.

Yu Feng is the only real killer, and the others are just bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

call out--

Lou Qingyan turned sideways, dodging the flying hidden weapon.

Yu Feng's voice sounded again: "Haha, I thought I would be dormant for a long time, but I didn't expect such a big harvest once I entered the city."

Lu Yu's eyes were gloomy, as if a fettered beast was about to pounce out of it.

Lou Qingyan understood his eyes.

Yu Feng was obviously playing tricks on them.Lu Yu's anger not only comes from Yu Feng's provocation, but also from the fact that the secret of this plan will be destroyed by Yu Feng.

Not only do they have to escape the assassination, but they also have to kill Yu Feng!Otherwise, the news of Lu Yu's secret transfer of troops into the city will leak out, and the coalition forces of the two countries and the King of Yan will also mobilize several times their own forces. Lu Yu will not be able to uproot the King of Yan in the decisive battle!

Lu Yu drew back and stepped forward, his sword intent was like a rainbow!

The sound of rubble breaking and wooden beams snapping intertwined.Where the blade passed, all order and hardness were turned into powder and broken.

Lou Qingyan didn't see clearly whether Lu Yu stabbed him.

Yu Feng's voice was still rampant: "Don't hack around, you won't be able to follow me like this."

Although his provocation was still very flat, judging from his tone, he was obviously not as confident as before.He should have been injured.

Lu Yu's eyes were sharp, he snorted coldly, turned the sword in his hand, and stabbed upwards where they couldn't see behind them!

A groan.

Suddenly, just as Lu Yu was about to fly over the eaves, the tiles above his head cracked instantly!

Lu Yu's eyes froze!

More than one person!

And the other party was also there for three days.

The anger in Lu Yu's eyes and the killing intent of breaking the boat unreservedly radiated out.

Shhhhhhhhh

Yu Feng changed his position while another assassin was covering him, and released a hidden weapon from the hole in the roof!

Lu Yu turned around, and the sword edge dropped the hidden weapon.

At this moment, another three-day-old strongman broke through the tiles and fell into the room!He landed right behind Lu Yu, Lu Yu was distracted by the hidden weapon and couldn't turn around!

"go to hell!"

When the knife was raised, blood overflowed.

The room was enveloped in a gloomy and cold atmosphere at this moment.

"give it to me."

Lu Yu's eyes were fixed on him.

Lou Qingyan's face was covered with black lines, like another kind of mask, hiding his joys and sorrows behind strange symbols.

On the long knife covered with patterns, bright red blood flowed from the sharp blade, gathered at the tip of the knife, and fell drop by drop on the clean floor.

The killer who jumped into the room seemed to have been cast with a holding spell, his eyes widened and he remained motionless.

A few breaths later, a bloodstain appeared on his neck out of thin air, and blood spurted out!

Lou Qingyan pulled Lu Yu away to prevent him from being sprayed all over his head with blood.

Plop.The killer who had been in the house for three days fell face down on the ground, lifeless.

Lu Yu stared at Lou Qingyan, his throat tightened: "Now...you summon Fushi so quickly?"

Lou Qingyan smiled, but did not speak.When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into nice slender shapes, like crescent moons, with a soft but bright light.

"Hush," Lou Qingyan made a silent gesture, "Actually, tonight I'm not only here to thank you, but also to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?"

The expression on Lu Yu's face was uglier than when he knew there were two killers just now.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs.The high-level hidden guards headed by Eleven are here to escort them!

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps on the roof.

Yu Feng wants to run!

Lu Yu suddenly became nervous and wanted to get out!

Don't let Yu Feng go back alive and tell others what he saw tonight!

However, before he could leave, Lou Qingyan jumped out of the window and pulled himself away.The movement is ethereal and nimble, like an unfettered spirit, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Yu reached the roof, Lou Qingyan stood with his hands behind his back under the dark sky, the faint moonlight shone on him, causing his white clothes to be blown by the night wind.

Lou Qingyan slowly turned around when he heard him coming up.

He turned around, revealing what was behind him.

A burly man, like a lost marionette, knelt on the roof.

Lou Qingyan took a step towards Lu Yu.Yu Feng, who was kneeling on the roof, seemed to have lost his last point of support, smashed down, rolled along the sloping roof to the edge, and then plummeted down.

There were only the two of them left on the roof.

There were too many dark clouds, enough to cover the moonlight that gave Lu Yu a glimpse of Lou Qingyan's expression.

Lou Qingyan held the knife and walked up to Lu Yu.His figure was still slender, and he had returned to his appearance before entering the palace. There was no excess dragging on every inch of flesh, and the white skin was tight on the well-proportioned muscles and delicate bones.

The Lou Qingyan who was summoned was quite different from usual, but his expression now carried the vitality and vigor of the past, as if he walked into the Chengming Palace on an ordinary afternoon and asked Lu Yu if he wanted to have dinner together .

A secret but long-standing guess sprang up in Lu Yu's heart, and he stared into Lou Qingyan's eyes: "What do you mean by thank you and goodbye?"

Lou Qingyan approached him: "Thank you, thank you for taking care of me these days, thank you for your affection for me, thank you for carrying everything outside for me."

"Farewell, I want to tell you. I already understand everything, and I know what I should do."

Lu Yu seemed to be out of control, pulled him over, and embraced this cold, devil-like beauty: "I won't allow it!"

"Lu Yu, I want to spare you. My blade will always point to the throne. If one day my knife rests on your neck, I hope you will have the determination to stab me in the opposite direction." Lou Qingyan did not move. Pulled by him, the laughter became more obvious, "Please also spare me, give me the determination to face you with the blade, and give me the courage to move forward in order to survive."

A chilly force, like a bone-destroying ghost from Huangquan, crawled from the soles of Lu Yu's feet to his legs and body, grabbed his throat, and made the bloodshot eyes in his eyes one step closer to bursting.

This is the true energy that only belongs to Lou Qingyan, the true energy that is not suppressed by the shackles.

Lu Yu couldn't move under his strength, he just watched Lou Qingyan peck on his lips.

"You took the charge for me; tonight, I solved the trouble for you. It's considered clear, and I can leave without guilt. "

Lu Yu's pupils constricted.

The dark lines on Lou Qingyan's face faded away like a tide, and the whiteness and gentleness of the past were restored.

He gave Lu Yu a final smile, and then fell backwards!

"No!"

The blood flow broke through the barrier in an instant and rushed to Lu Yu's throat.He stretched out his hand suddenly, trying to grab Lou Qingyan.

Fingertip miss.

Gravity brought Lou Qingyan away from his eyes.

Lu Yu ran over like crazy and looked down.

No one, no corpse, nothing.

He just left.

"This is the household registration document. There is also a courtyard with a complete land deed. It is not big. It is enough to live in, and it is easy to sell. There are also some loose silver and jewelry. After all, these are prepared without telling His Majesty, and the quantity is not enough."

Eleven stood behind the counter like an ordinary shopkeeper, his ordinary face covered by a beard that had not been trimmed for many days.

The young man at the counter was dressed in black with a veiled cap, so his face could not be seen clearly.He took the package from Eleven, turned around and left.

"Thanks."

"Thanks last night," Eleven said before he disappeared.

The young man didn't look back, waved his hand, and disappeared into the crowd.

Eleven stood behind the counter, his face covered by his beard was unclear, but his eyes showed complicated emotions.Finally, he sighed and shook his head.

After saying goodbye, the young man squeezed into the crowd several times, escaped several pairs of prying eyes on the street, and finally entered an alley.

In the alley, a carriage was parked securely, and there was no driver.

Hearing footsteps, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a girl poked her head out. It was Lin Xuehe!

"Master Lou, oh no, Boss Lou, everything has been taken care of."

Lou Qingyan got into the carriage, lifted the soap gauze to reveal her face.His whole state has undergone a radical change.

He broke away from the dependence of that guilt, and returned to his familiar state, independent and walking on thin ice.After two months of being lost in the new environment, the worries and burdens I had been avoiding all along came back to me.

The thin lips are bloodless, but the eyes are shining.

He took the document from Lin Xuehe, flipped through it for a while, and confirmed that it was correct.

"The original property was discounted. As you expected, the silver they gave was new with a mark on it. I got the silver and before it was warmed up, I sold the winery property that King Yan planned to cut off. I sold the wine at a low price, and with the money, I found someone to transport all the food for brewing. The transport team will leave the capital tomorrow and go to the place you designated."

Lou Qingyan nodded.

Lin Xuehe looked at his face: "Boss, what are we going to do?"

"Go meet some people and start a new story." Lou Qingyan folded the paper and stuffed it into her bosom, "You just follow me like this, aren't you afraid of selling you?"

Lin Xuehe wiped away all the pretense of flattery, and said unkindly: "The antidote is in your hands, what can I do? I am an orphan myself, and my family is everywhere. I finally thought that I would be able to settle down, but in the end I would be punished." You drag around like this."

Lou Qingyan laughed: "You'll be able to settle down again soon. But... since you said that my special envoy will summon you, then go drive."

"Ah? You let me drive with a woman?"

"Otherwise? Does the boss drive?"

Lin Xuehe took his veiled cap cursingly, got out of the carriage, and sat in the driver's seat.

The wheels rolled and rolled over the dust.

When the carriage just came out of the alley, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

"It's Rong Guo's army!"

"Damn Rong Guo!"

"Get out of Xia Country!"

Amid the resentment of the common people, a light cavalry walked into the city gate with brisk hooves, squeezing a way between the common people who were cursing and cursing.

Lou Qingyan's carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, quietly and low-key.

A few feet away from him, this light cavalry passed by arrogantly, and no one paid any attention to him.

Lou Qingyan looked out the window and watched Rongguo's Qingqi step into Xiaguo's capital and slowly walk away.

Danfeng's eyes narrowed, her thoughts complicated.

Storm is coming.
