Omi had to sit up

A sound of "Assassin" resounded in the quiet palace, and a stone stirred up thousands of waves.The guards under the wall quickly took out their weapons and surrounded the figures on the wall.

The soldiers outside the imperial study room also heard the alarm, and quickly rushed to the source of the sound with their lanterns.Looking from under the high wall, Chen Shu could only see guards approaching him quickly from the south, north, and east sides.

And on the west side of the garden, the shadow that suddenly appeared has also approached with a knife.

The speed of the shadow was very fast. The moment Chen Shu stood on the palace wall, the shadow followed him like a shadow. The knife in his hand was sheathed like a willow leaf, and he swung it towards Chen Shu without a word.

……

Chen Shu's pupils shrank slightly. Even though he had a systematic wooden dagger in his hand, he didn't dare to entangle with it. Before the blade was cut, he was already in shape, and then flew from the palace cavity to the giant tree next to the imperial study. above.

The shadow was shot in the air, his eyes were fixed, he raised his head and looked in Chen Shu's direction again, and in the next breath, he was like a ghost, and followed Chen Shu to kill on the giant tree. The murderous aura made the branches of the giant tree shake and the leaves rustled down .

"!"

Alarm bells rang in Chen Shu's heart.At this time, there were guards approaching under the wall, and there were shadows chasing after the tree. He no longer dared to stay too long, and jumped from the giant tree to the roof of the imperial study room again. The east wall of the imperial palace rushed away when they came and went.

In an instant, he was tens of feet away from the original imperial study.

The palace guards who had assembled at the palace wall saw a tall assassin's black shadow flitting across the air like a swallow, but when they came back to their senses, the assassin had already fled away quickly.

The assassin looked thin and didn't look very strong, but he didn't expect such an astonishing speed!

The guards were startled, and quickly divided into two teams, one to escort, and the other to search for the dark place where the assassin disappeared.

But ordinary guards couldn't keep up with the masked assassin at all. It didn't take long for the guards to completely lose track of the assassin, and could only carry out carpet searches from palace to palace.

On the way, only the shadow that appeared in the garden did not stop, relentlessly, and pursued closely.

Soon there were two figures left in the palace, one in front of the other, chasing each other, and after a while, the distance between the two slowly opened, and the shadow and the assassin slowly changed from three feet to ten feet. Zhang, and then stretched from ten feet to fifteen feet.

Shadow frowned while chasing after him. At this moment, in his eyes, the shadow of the masked assassin had only a black dot left.

This man's speed is too fast.

In front of the assassin is the huge palace wall, and beyond this palace wall is the world outside the imperial city.

The palace wall is fifteen feet high, and it is impossible for ordinary people to climb over it.But when the black figure reached the front of the palace wall, it didn't stop at all. It got up directly, and the black clothes joined hands, and it took a while to climb up the city wall without any hindrance.

Ying Ying was startled, and Erqing also went under the palace wall.He breathed a sigh of relief and followed the flying climb. When he reached the top of the wall, he took two breaths. When he fixed his eyes again, the masked black figure jumped down from the majestic palace wall without hesitation.

There are torches on the wall of the palace to illuminate, and the shadows can only see the black figure with a long back, and his long hair is tied up by a black cloth belt. The sound of hunting silk, the rest is silent.

"Who is on the city wall?!" A guard on the palace wall found someone standing on the top of the wall, and quickly surrounded him. After seeing the shadow, he immediately shuddered.

"Lord Lu." The leader of the guards on the wall saluted immediately.

The shadow called "Lord Lu" glanced at the nervous guard beside him, but didn't speak, turned around and jumped off the wall, and disappeared into the palace after a few ups and downs.

The palace wall guards looked at each other, not knowing what happened for a while.They quickly looked into the palace, only to see a bright light in the palace, which seemed to be the place where the imperial study was located.

At this time, the Imperial Study Room was indeed brightly lit.Outside the room, a team of guards in front of the palace stood guard, guarding the entrance and exit of the imperial study, and more than ten torches flickered, illuminating the imperial study as if it were daytime.The two maids who had been guarding the night in the imperial study were now pale with fright, and stood aside tremblingly, watching the chief guard sitting at the gate in person, not daring to make a sound.

Shadow came back from the walls of the imperial city. Seeing this battle formation, he hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door and walked into the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, there was only a man in black sitting beside the desk.The man's face was solemn, and there was no trace of disturbance in his expression, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him.The lights in the room were on all night, his face was like a sculpture under the light and shadow, his eyelids drooped, and he was quietly looking at a creased letter paper.

There appears to be scrawling on the letter paper.

"Your Majesty, the subordinates are at a disadvantage and failed to capture the assassin." Seeing the man in black, Ying Ying knelt down on one knee.

The man in black, called the emperor by Shadow, looked at the letter paper for a long time, then raised his eyes, and looked at Shadow in front of him.

Shadow's voice paused for a moment, and continued to say upon seeing this: "The assassin came today in a strange manner, and my subordinates didn't recognize who it was, but this person's qinggong is extremely good, and I'm afraid he's someone in the records of Jianghu. The subordinates saw him go to the capital. Evacuate on the east side, do you need to continue searching in the city?"

There are assassins attacking the palace, this matter is no small matter.Moreover, the assassin entered the palace as if he had entered an uninhabited land, and he came and went freely, which was really frightening. If he sneaked into the palace again in the future, Shadow would feel that he would not be able to capture him alive.

What's more, when he just noticed the existence of the masked shadow, he shot the silver needle to sneak attack, and even let the opponent escape, his strength can be seen.

However, no one in Jiang Hu Lu has ever dared to set foot in the imperial palace, and no one is so daring—this person has outstanding lightness skills, and he should have a name and surname in the record, or he can be seated for investigation.

Shadow quickly thought about the names of the people in Jiang Hu Lu, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the emperor sitting in front of the case looked back again. His expression remained unchanged, but instead he picked up the letter paper in his hand and placed it in front of the red candle in front of the case.

The flame danced on the red candle, and the letter paper quickly caught fire.

The man in black put the burning letter paper into the incense burner, and seeing the flames on the paper, he slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, revealing a slight curve.

"No need." The man in black clothes replied quietly, "Lu Qi, just let him go."

"But..." Lu Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, a little surprised in his heart, but after hearing Xie Zhen's words, he retracted his worries and nodded "Yes".

Xie Zhen's eyes fell back on the paper in the incense burner. The flames had completely swallowed the paper, and after a while, only a thin layer of ashes remained.

There are lights in the palace to drive away the darkness of the long night.

Xie Zhen stared, his complexion gradually returned to normal, like a cold spring.

Chen Shu escaped from the palace all the way to the capital, and after circling around the city, he was sure that no one was following him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and chose his way back to Lin's mansion.

After walking to the palace, he felt that his back was drenched with sweat, and the night wind was blowing on his body, giving him a cool chill.

The shadow that was chasing him just now was really powerful, and he used the silver needle hidden weapon to keep pressing while chasing him. If it wasn't for the wooden dagger given by the system, and the lightness kung fu "borrowed" from the system in advance, Chen Shu It is almost certain that this time, if he is not killed, he will be injured, and he will be treated as an assassin before he is loyal.

If things go on like this, they will be blindly killed by the emperor at the beginning of the game...

He had underestimated the vigilance around the emperor during this trip, but it wasn't completely fruitless.

At least, Taiwei Qi's intention to rebel while hunting in the autumn field, he has clearly written on the letter paper.If the emperor saw it, he would consider canceling the hunt.

Thinking of this, Chen Shu let out a breath of cool air slowly.

The white mist gradually disappeared into the night, and people walking among the blue bricks and green tiles raised their heads and glanced at the bright moon floating in the sky.

This is his third night in this world. The tasks given by the system are chaotic and complicated. If he continues according to the current situation, he doesn't know when he will be able to return to his original world.

Is the passage of time in this world the same as his original world?What would happen to his original body if he didn't go back for a long time?What about his sister?Will she blame him?

Frowning, Chen Shu turned over and went back to the Lin Mansion. He tore off the face towel, fetched well water from the yard and went back to the room. After cleaning, he changed his inner clothes, and then lay back on the bed.

On the third day, as usual, Chen Shu was disturbed by the crowing of cocks and his eyes were dimmed. He paused for a moment, then put the quilt over his head, and continued to sleep with sleepiness.

About two hours later, and the sun was high, his room was knocked open again.

The person who knocked on the door this time was Uncle Liu.But compared to yesterday's urging, Uncle Liu is still a little happy this time.

"Young master, young master, are you there?" Unlike the compliment he gave when he brought Lin Chenshu home just now, Uncle Liu looked extraordinarily excited today.

Chen Shumeng turned around in the quilt.

He didn't lock it yesterday, and the door was opened by the housekeeper.When Uncle Liu walked in, he saw only a little hair wrapped in the bedding, and hurriedly stepped forward to push Lin Chenshu to wake him up.

"Young master, wake up, what time is it, don't sleep! The people from the Ministry of Rituals are here, waiting for you to pass in the front hall. Get up and wash up, and go to meet the adults." Uncle Liu said while pushing .

Chen Shu's consciousness finally came together, he muffled his throat a few times, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "...Department of Rites?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Rites has something to say when you come to our house," Liu Bo said.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the ritual system and tribute examinations, but the imperial examinations have ended at this time, and the next step is the affairs of the Ministry of Officials. What's the matter with the Ministry of Rites suddenly coming here at this time?

Chen Shu frowned and slowly got up from the bed.But Uncle Liu couldn't see him being so slow, so he hurriedly tied the crown on him again, and tidied his clothes. After a quarter of an hour, he finally pushed him out of the room.

Chen Shu had no choice but to go all the way to the front hall.

In the front hall, there was already an official wearing a red court dress sitting on the grand master's chair. The official was in his forties and was slightly fat.Beside him, Lin Heming poured tea and water himself, and waited carefully.

Seeing a white man in plain clothes walking in front of the hall, officials from the Ministry of Rituals took a closer look at Lin Chenshu's appearance.

"Niezi, don't look at what time it is, tell Mr. Zhang to wait!" Seeing this, Lin Heming immediately reprimanded Lin Chenshu pretendingly.

Chen Shu raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Heming.

Lin Heming shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Mr. Zhang, who was next to him, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I came here today because the Holy Majesty suddenly made a sudden decision. We asked the top three in the new department to inform us, and we didn't inform you before."

Lin Heming responded with a sneer: "I don't know what will Master Zhang bring this time..."

Only then did Master Zhang send the little official next to him to come forward.The little official was holding a square tray with a red brocade on it, embroidered with sea waves and cirrus clouds, which looked very delicate. On the brocade, there was a black crown inlaid with south beads, and the red lace on the side of the crown was coiled, straight placed in the middle.

Chen Shu saw the tray, raised his eyes slightly, and heard Lord Zhang say loudly in his ear: "Tomorrow, the emperor will go to the autumn field to hunt. Travel together."

As he spoke, his voice slowed down, he looked at Lin Heming, who was listening to the excitement, and then at the famous Duanxiu in front of him, he slowed down, knowing as usual: "Lin Bangyan, remember to prepare well. "
