Walking on the streets of Tianyan in the capital again, it seems like a lifetime away—a lifetime in the literal sense.

The literati raised by the nobles had a small jade plaque to mark their status. Chu Xiang almost accidentally gave this to the little girl when she gave money and things.

The female officers who guarded the door looked at his jade badge, and looked at his face with a surprised expression. Although these female officers were very professional and well-disguised, they were used to the rhythm of interstellar wars, and Chu Xiang's observation skills were also extremely keen. won't miss it.

——Could it be that there is a demon star above my head?Chu Xiang joked to herself in her heart.

Then he realized that perhaps as a "celebrity", the news of his death had already spread.

So fast……

So instead of rushing into the crowd, he walked around the corridor and hid in the shadows—trying to observe quietly.

Even if he didn't dress up as someone else, he has been away for too long after all, and his language, culture, writing, and living habits are very different. On Longque, he has an adjutant who loves to read novels. He once mentioned a tragic story to him. The time-traveling novel——after traveling through, it turns out that the language is not understandable, and the poor protagonist needs to learn to read from scratch.

Fortunately, Chu Xiang thought happily, he still remembered how to read.

He stood on the porch, looking at the bustling crowd aimlessly, and was careful not to expose himself to too many people's sights too early - in theory, this is very simple, how to hide his whereabouts so that he does not look So low-key, there is no need to go to the Starfleet Academy to take classes, as long as you have seen the captain of the fleet twice, you will naturally learn how to avoid hitting the gun.

However, not everyone can be easily fooled, after all, Chu Xiang is no longer a battle-hardened captain.

In fact, when being approached by someone to greet him, Chu Xiang almost subconsciously wanted to ask about Longque's central control AI through the chip channel in his brain, why didn't he remind him, and then suddenly remembered that in this world, Longque only That's all he's left with.

At the banquet, Yang Feng quietly held the dagger in his sleeve and asked: "My lord, there is a sneaky person over there, I am afraid it is an assassin."

When entering the lotus pond, except for the ceremonial swords and swords allowed by the lords and lords, even the guards must turn in their weapons, so Yang Feng was a little nervous, and Lan Jue glanced sideways from the cup and replied: "It shouldn't be .”

In Lan Jue's eyes, that person was very strange. He naturally had an undisguised killing intent, which was incompatible with the warm, fragrant and warm spring feast around him, but his killing intent was not aimed at anyone.

Moreover, Lan Jue frowned: "Don't you think, if it's an assassin, wouldn't he be able to run after killing someone?"

Yang Feng was taken aback: "Your Majesty is right..."

Without AI assistance, without mechas and exoskeleton armor, Chu Xiang in this world is far from his background in the special forces of the 28th century.

"Hey, this is not Mr. Chu, I heard that you..." Those young men in brocade clothes surrounded him with expressions of concern. The person concerned had a panoramic view of the subtle changes in their expressions. Most people felt like a ghost when they saw him. , although it was well concealed, even better than the female officer of Linghetang, however, Chu Xiang discovered——

Who are these?Should know, but forgot!

Embarrassed.

But Chu Xiang immediately changed into a comfortable and natural posture, and stood there looking at them with a smile, as if they were very familiar.

"Mr. Chu is an incomparable talent, and reciting poems is not easy. I said earlier that Brother Lu and Brother Wang are rumors spread by villains. How can you believe it!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Chu will definitely be the leader today, and the rumors will be self-defeating..."

While Chu Xiang was thinking about how to respond, a group of people suddenly came out of the inner hall, and everyone fell silent upon seeing this.

A group of teenagers in white clothes surrounded a woman in full dress. The woman used a luxurious veil as a cover. The group of teenagers surrounded her, stepping on the corridor with bare feet and falling flowers. The juice of the petals stained their slender toes. .The women went to the first seat and the teenagers were like a group of white cats sticking to their masters.

"Today, this palace is finally lively." The woman spoke, and she could hear that she was approaching her twilight years, but she still had a graceful figure, a well-maintained figure, and the low-cut collar of the gorgeous palace dress still showed her proud curves.

——The emperor's twin sister, Princess Qinghe.

So it was like turning on a strange switch. The princes and kings took the lead in boasting about the "grace" of the eldest princess.

Lan Jue huddled in her seat, and silently picked up the wine glass she had just discarded.

"Doesn't the lord dislike wine from the imperial capital..."

"Squeeze it, I want to vomit." Lan Jue said very bluntly. Anyway, the eldest princess among the crowd was full of compliments, so she was not in the mood to look at him.Even if I saw it, it was nothing more than adding another "unventilated month" to the already poor reputation.

After the eldest princess came out, Lan Jue, who shrank in the back row, and Chu Xiang, who retreated quietly in troubled waters, inevitably became different, so when Lan Jue said this, it happened that Chu Xiang retreated not far from him.

——Deeply agree, Captain Chu also wanted to vomit, and even wanted to fire a main bombardment, but unfortunately there was no Longque.

After a moment of noise, the eldest princess raised her hand, and the surroundings became quiet again.

"Recently, I seized a treasure in the South China Sea from the mighty general." The eldest princess stroked the boy lying on her knees, and the other boys lifted out a gold-plated box from behind. Take out the banquet and let everyone see something new."

Everyone craned their necks to watch, and a fat man with a round body couldn't help but shouted: "Your Highness, don't be tempted, show us quickly!"

"This big box is seafood?"

"What kind of treasure is seafood? Could it be that you caught a shark?"

"Living things can't live in this kind of box." The eldest princess giggled, "It's not an ordinary thing, everyone, have you ever heard that there is a knife that contains divine power, and if you get it, the world can be peaceful?"

The fat man was the first to stand up, and slammed the table, almost smashing his own jade finger. He said as if standing up, "What kind of magical sword, that is the demon sword in the mouth of the troublemakers!"

There was a moment of silence, and then the Eldest Princess clapped her hands and laughed, and the silent princes also laughed, as if they had heard some extremely funny joke.

"Duke Heng doesn't need to be so arbitrary." She waved her hand and signaled the servants to open the box, "In the hands of others, it is a demon sword, but in the hands of a real monarch, naturally, it is the emperor's sword."

Duke Heng immediately bowed and saluted: "What the eldest princess said is true!"

The wooden box was opened, and inside it was a long and narrow brocade box wrapped in silk. The Eldest Princess stood up and opened the box. Inside the box, a long black horizontal knife lay quietly there.

"Everyone, have you heard of the dragon bird?"

Ok?

Amid the uproar, Chu Xiang gasped.

It's one thing to think about those two words by yourself, but it's another thing to yell out those two words in a straight voice.The captain's chest ached from his own heartbeat, just like a divine bird whose real name was called in a fantasy story, his blood naturally responded to that voice.

His first reaction was, how did they recognize me? Did ancient people recognize starships?The second reaction is, no, Longque is already a wreck in the galaxy, even if you "travel" with him, it will at most become a piece of scrap metal.

Then, he heard—

"Dragon sparrow, black flame and black feathers, the sound is like a phoenix, and the fire-forged knife at the tip of its wing is used. The knife has the power of a divine bird, so it is also called the dragon sparrow. If you get the dragon sparrow, the world will be peaceful." The eldest princess said, gently Wipe off the non-existent dust on the scabbard, "Everyone, this is the Emperor's Blade, Dragon Sparrow."

Long Que, as soon as this name came out, there was an uproar in the audience, all parties had their own calculations in their hearts, and even Yang Feng, who was shrinking behind, felt his heart pounding.

"My lord, that knife—"

Lan Jue glanced at him and said, "The knife is not bad, it can be used."

"My lord, that's the legendary Dragon Sparrow, the Emperor's Sword. Don't you—"

"Are you planning to snatch it from the eldest princess?" Lan Jue shook the wine glass, making a gesture to splash it on his face, which made him startle back in fright, and bowed his head in shame when he recalled it.

That's why Lan Jue said: "Besides, I don't think that holding a broken knife can make you a prosperous Mingjun."

"Hush...Don't talk about it, my lord, you really dare to say anything this trip to Beijing, and you are not afraid of being heard..."

Lan Jue suddenly raised her hand to stop him.

Just at this moment, a female officer from Linghe Pond walked by the corridor. The female officer combed her hair up high, and the uniform golden jewelry was very luxurious. Lan Jue's eyes moved with her steps——

She walked on her feet.

Except in some exotic dances where there is this posture, that is——

Lan Jue suddenly stood up, threw the wine glass out of her hand, and shouted: "Assassin!"

At the same time, the female officer has already moved.

She actually pulled out a dagger from her bun. The dagger was shaped like a hairpin, and the part exposed outside the bun was also made into a hairpin jewelry. The woman looked soft and dignified, but at that moment, she was like a boa constrictor that suddenly stood up , the dagger raised a ray of silver light in the sun, and went straight to the eldest princess on the head seat.

Lan Jue threw out the wine glass, but the female assassin was so fast that she dodged it.

In desperation, the eldest princess pushed out the boy in her arms, pierced the boy's chest with a sharp dagger, and warm blood splashed on the nobles in the front row, shouting one after another:

"Come on, come on, catch the assassin!"

"Escort, escort!"

The teenagers cried out, but they had to stand in front of the eldest princess. The female assassin drew out her dagger after missing a single hit. The next second, she was dragged back by a person behind her by her hair.

The majestic Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty, who did not show any demeanor at the critical moment, Lan Jue pulled the woman's hair and threw it on the ground. With a bang, the assassin fell to the ground by surprise. On the side, more female officers pulled out their daggers together. .

They turned around, half facing Lan Jue, half pounced on the surroundings, creating a great chaos, the nobles fell from their chairs one after another, like a flock of frightened ducks.

"Lord——" Yang Feng reached out his hand to his waist, Lan Jue glared at him angrily, he immediately put down the hand that was trying to draw out the weapon - he was so stupid, he handed in the weapon when he entered the door, and pulled out the hidden knife at this time , afraid of being regarded as an associate of the assassin.

The assassin's ghostly skills are completely different from Lan Jue's battle-tested martial arts, and his movements are erratic and strange. In addition, the nobles at the scene were frightened and chaotic, and Lan Jue was also restrained when he moved.

The ground was in chaos, blood was splashed on the walls, and the teenagers around the eldest princess suffered heavy casualties in an instant. All the nobles were present, so the guards at the spring banquet strictly patrolled the periphery in order to avoid disturbance.

I don't know which link is wrong, so many assassins are sneaked in as female officials. The assassins are so fast that they don't have time to deploy their men. Only Lan Jue is present, and Lan Jue faces more than a dozen elite assassins alone. , and there is an eldest princess who adds to the chaos behind her, so she is inevitably at a disadvantage.

An assassin jumped onto the seat and held up a sharp blade behind Lan Jue. The next second, amidst the chaos, Chu Xiang rushed out from the corner. Just in time, he kicked the stool. The assassin was in a graceful posture, but suddenly After being kicked, he gurgled and rolled down.

Lan Jue turned around and kicked the assassin's spine, and couldn't help but drift to that side—the one who did it suddenly was a weak man, but the timing of the action card was extremely precise, except for Lan Jue, the life-and-death party in the center of the battlefield. Well, the others probably didn't see clearly that he jumped out and kicked someone's stool.

There are some interesting people in the imperial capital?

The assassin in the crowd pounced on Chu Xiang, pulled his sleeve, and resisted with force. The former captain couldn't beat a dancer. Chu Xiang smiled wryly, wiped his cheek with a knife, and cut off a strand of long hair. The forehead rolled down.

After that, he dodged in a bit of a panic. He could still predict the assassin's movements, and he could see the opponent's fatal weakness, but... his physical strength couldn't keep up.The female assassins gritted their teeth and formed a team of two, freeing up their hands to deal with the troublesome Chu Xiang. Although it was not as good as the treatment of a dozen or so around Lan Jue, two elites dealt with a sick child...

Hearing the sound of the wind tightened instantly, a long dagger snatched from the assassin's hand passed through the back of an assassin's neck, and stretched directly in front of Chu Xiang—not far away, although Lan Jue turned his back to him, he threw the knife with his backhand. It's like "opening a cheat" as said in online games in the 28th century.

Chu Xiang swooped over, grabbed the dagger, pulled it without hesitation, and pressed against the other assassin by virtue of inertia. The dagger pierced directly from the female assassin's left shoulder, broke through the rib on the right side, and protruded dripping with blood. Dye Chu Xiang's entire sleeve red.

The guards who came belatedly surrounded the assassins. The Tieyi Iron Guards were a little better, at least faster than them. After the elite guards of the royal family arrived, they immediately replaced Lan Jue and fought hand-to-hand with the assassins.

Seeing that nothing could be done, the assassin raised his knife and committed suicide. The head of the iron guard shouted: "Catch the living!"

The tip of Lan Jue's eyebrows twitched slightly, he weighed quickly in an instant, and soon came to a decision, so his outstretched hand slowed down just right, and the last assassin committed suicide, and the body fell to his feet with a thud .

Lan Jue smiled coldly at the head of the iron guard.

——Since the nobles in the capital are unwilling to save our people, then...

The head of the Iron Guard's face was ashen, but he couldn't say a word to the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty.

The chaos subsided after a long time, the eldest princess resumed her elegant sitting posture, and the Tiyi Iron Guard carried away the dead boy beside her.

However, the woman touched the box, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Longque, where's the dragonfinch?"

The gorgeous box is now empty.
