Mao Tuan always wants to attack me

As the emperor's close guard chief, Nightingale was undoubtedly one of the strongest fighters in the palace.And he was born as a shadow guard, and his perception ability is even more outstanding, except for the emperor, no one in the palace can match it.

At this time, he held his saber tightly with his right hand, and the internal strength of his body increased with the tension. The air in the room swirled unconsciously, blowing up the long black hair of the guard and the smooth white hair of the emperor. , drifting away in the wind.

In the sound of the wind swept by the air current, Nightingale keenly caught the breath of the third person who was gradually approaching here.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates..."

"Don't panic."

The finger bones of the chief guard holding the handle of the knife trembled, and there was a slight knocking sound between the touches of the handle.

"he came!"

"Um……"

The person who came walked steadily, and his breath was so hidden that it was almost undetectable.He passed silently through the guard squad in the courtyard outside the emperor's study, without arousing the slightest suspicion from the defenders.

Bai Shuyu raised his hands together in front of his chest, his fingers interlaced to form a seal.In an instant, the emperor's deep zhenqi surged out and circulated up and down his body.

For a moment, the air flow in the room surged rapidly, and Nightingale collected her mind and stabilized her figure under the powerful wave of true energy.

Bai Shuyu exhaled slowly, and the royal aura finally gathered on his forehead and around his eye sockets.When the emperor opened his eyes, the pupils of the eyes had converged into the peak of the whole body's true energy.Bai Shuyu's pupil power had already been activated by the seal seal just now, and Nightingale's heart sank.

"Squeak-"

The door of the study was gently pushed inward by an invisible force, and all the bright candlelight in the room was instantly swallowed up by darkness.The two people in the room held their breath, their nerves tensed to the extreme.

Between lightning and flint, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him at an unimaginable speed.Nightingale rushed forward quickly, drew out the blade from her waist, and shielded the Lord in front of her.

Swords, lights and swords flashed swiftly, and only sparks burst out in the darkness.The chief guard and the intruder came and went, fought dozens of moves, and it was the first wave of hand-to-hand combat.

"It's such a deep demonic energy!" Nightingale exclaimed in surprise, and was rushed back a few steps by the menacing sword energy from the incoming man.

Taking advantage of Nightingale's unsteady figure, the invisible figure had already stepped in front of the emperor in a matter of seconds, swiped the sword in his hand, and slashed towards the emperor without hesitation.

The sword shadow was right in front of his eyes, but Bai Shuyu's breath remained calm. When he raised his right hand, the air wave suddenly rose, forming an invisible air shield that only his own pupil power could see within a few meters of the emperor, killing the assassin. The move was firmly blocked a few meters away.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nightingale turned around and immediately attacked the assassin from behind, her movements were as fast as lightning.

The assassin failed in one blow and was about to attack again, but Nightingale swung a knife from behind to stop him, so he could only deal with it first.And in this moment of distraction, the emperor who had previously focused on defense also made a move—the figure in white strode forward briskly, aiming at the man in black's vest and pushing it out.

The emperor, the chief of the guard, the monarch and his ministers had a tacit understanding, and the offensive and defensive transitions were crisp and neat. The joint efforts of the two temporarily held back the black shadow.For a while, even the assassins were powerful in force and deep in internal energy, but they were all helpless.

After dozens of moves in a row, Bai Shuyu said loudly to the shadow: "Assassin, I'm afraid you have lost the best time to assassinate me."

True energy surged from the assassin's body, powerfully knocking away Nightingale's knife.Both sides took a few steps back, and the tense battle finally came to a halt for a moment.

Bai Shuyu detected the identity of the assassin with his strong pupil power, and saw the endless devil energy from his body.He murmured: "You didn't hide the majestic devilish energy in your body after you entered the house. It seems that you don't intend to hide your identity?"

Nightingale also shouted sharply: "Who are you! How dare you sneak into the palace to assassinate."

"Ah."

The visitor chuckled.Under the eyes of the emperor and the shadow guards, he moved half a step, raised his hand, and a candle by the wall lit up, reflecting his pale face under the hood.

Bai Shuyu snorted softly, "It really is you. Envoy of the Demon Kingdom, Feng Wuyang!"

Feng Wuyang raised his hand and gently took off his hood.His long black hair fell down, and his deep black pupils looked straight at Bai Shuyu's light eyes without any fear.

"That's right, I'm here. I heard that His Majesty Bai Guo is searching for my whereabouts. I thought about it, and I came here by myself." He swung his sword, and his eyes froze, "—I'm here to take your life!"

Sword shadow, knife light.Mutual exchange.

In the narrow study room, a powerful demonic energy that was incompatible with the surroundings burst out wantonly.The assassin's swordsmanship in black clothes and hair is varied and his skills are unfathomable.He focused on killing Bai Shuyu, merciless in every move, and the sharp sword edge brushed past Bai Shuyu several times.As the emperor of the Bai Kingdom, Bai Shuyu's training in military strength is temporarily inferior to that of Feng Wuyang, who is a general of the Demon Kingdom. In addition, he is still young and has a shallow foundation. The advantage of tacit cooperation has passed, and he is gradually showing signs of decline.

Feng Wuyang moved extremely neatly.After Bai Shuyu started to lose ground gradually, he suddenly raised his palm and pushed forward, the strong internal force shook Bai Shuyu's steps unsteadily, and he staggered a bit.Taking advantage of this opportunity, he extended his sword forward, and Nightingale rushed over from behind and hit him hard.The blade of the sword brushed against Bai Shuyu's forehead dangerously, and a piece of silver-white hair was cut off by Qi Qi and fell to the ground.

"you……!"

Seeing that the move almost killed the emperor just now, Nightingale became furious.According to the regulations of the palace, in order to reduce the possible threat to the emperor, the shadow guard needs to seal most of his true energy in a non-emergency state. Therefore, he has been unable to use his full strength due to the restriction of the seal, causing himself to gradually fall into a disadvantage.But now that the situation is critical, it's time to break the seal and fight to the death with the powerful assassin!

He swung the knife with his right hand to resist, and formed a seal with his left hand.The internal force seal was instantly released, and the true energy in the body was raised to the highest level in an instant.The strong air flow spread from the inside of the study to the surroundings, directly breaking through the barrier that Feng Wuyang had set up around the study.

"Heh... As expected of the Chief Guard of the Emperor of the Bai Kingdom, he really has some skills."

Feng Wuyang knew in his heart that after the barrier outside the study was broken, the movement here would inevitably be transmitted unhindered, alarming the other guards around, and the best time to assassinate had already been missed.He looked at the two people in front of him, and quickly backed away.

"Where to go!"

Nightingale, who had unsealed her inner strength, snarled, and the speed of her knife attack instantly increased several times.At this time, the attack and defense were switched, and the nightingale stood in front of the emperor and launched a move to attack Feng Wuyang.The assassin stepped back lightly one after another, and Nightingale chased after him, tangling and fighting with him a few times with a knife.

Hearing Feng Wuyang's soft drink suddenly, a thick black mist erupted from his body.With the flick of the fingers where Nightingale cautiously stopped, he flew out of the study as lightly as a swallow, swished over the high wall of the palace garden, and disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Footsteps are gathering towards the place where the turmoil occurred.After hearing the news, the guards came and failed to notice Feng Wuyang who was leaving.Nightingale rushed out the door with a knife in hand, but considering that he was the only shadow guard left beside the emperor, he stopped thinking of catching up.

"There is an assassin, it is Feng Wuyang, the envoy of the Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory! Hurry up, seal off the palace and start a full-scale search!"

The words "there are assassins" sounded like thunder, and the guards who rushed over immediately looked at each other, and their faces turned pale—the presence of assassins in the emperor's study meant that they had failed in their duties!But Nightingale was not in the mood to pursue this point for the time being. He called for the leader of the guard squad and quickly assigned their hunting areas. The guards followed their squad leader and took orders to leave.

On the other side, the imperial physicians also hurried over under the summons of the palace servants.However, the emperor is currently not in the mood to let them check.

"I'm fine. Although the assassin's skill is strong, it can't hurt me." Bai Shuyu was furious, and he punched the desk, and the powerful true energy that flowed out with the anger surged back and forth in the room, shaking The people around took a few steps back unconsciously, "The top priority is to thoroughly investigate the origin of the assassin. I really want to know what the intentions of this northern demon kingdom are!"

The imperial physicians were so nervous that their backs were sweating and they dared not speak.Only the most experienced old doctor insisted: "Your Majesty, please ask the old minister to check whether the holy body is injured for the emperor. The assassin in this demon kingdom has a strong demonic aura, and the old minister is worried that he will use insidious methods to secretly hurt the emperor."

Nightingale also persuaded: "Feng Wuyang is a well-known treacherous general in the Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory. He is ruthless and unpredictable. Your Majesty, just in case, let the imperial physician take a look!"

Cruel and ruthless... According to the careful serial schemes that this person had set up in the palace before, it is really possible that he would leave some "tails" after his failed assassination.Bai Shuyu temporarily swallowed the aggrieved breath, sat down slowly, and stretched out an arm to let the old doctor take his pulse.

"The emperor suffered a trauma, so it's not a big problem, but at the same time, the study was just surrounded by the enchantment of demons, and the emperor's holy body was affected by the demonic energy. The old minister prescribed a prescription to help the emperor expel the residual demonic energy in his body."

Bai Shuyu nodded, and gently lowered her sleeves to cover her snow-white skin.After the imperial physician left the room, Bai Shuyu leaned on the chair behind the desk with a tired expression.

"Come here, it is said that the generals of the Xuecheng Imperial Forest Army, Mo Chengwei, Luo Cheng and other generals will enter the palace immediately. I have important matters to discuss with them overnight."

=====

It was late at night, but the assassination of the emperor was a very serious accident, especially under the premise that the assassin himself was an envoy of a friendly country.As soon as Bai Shuyu's imperial order came out, the generals who were named immediately rushed to the palace overnight to meet the emperor.

General Mo Chengwei heard that "the emperor was assassinated" in his sleep, and thought he was sleepwalking.After being woken up, he hurriedly put on his coat, and rushed to the palace without even having time to change into his pajamas and private clothes.

The moment he saw the pale emperor, he was so angry that he almost cursed at Feng Wuyang from the air.

"The Demonic Kingdom of the Northern Territory is really not a thing! They first brought poisonous beasts into the palace to serve as imperial sacred beasts, and they also stole the seal of imperial beasts. Now they simply jump over the wall, and the envoys personally go into battle and sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor. What audacity!"

Speaking of the anger, Mo Chengwei clasped his fists and remonstrated with Bai Shuyu: "The general thought that the visit of the Demon Kingdom had no good intentions from the very beginning. Feng Wuyang's move to provoke the sage and humiliate the emperor's prestige, this northern border The Demon Kingdom has made it clear that it wants to declare war on the White Kingdom. The minister proposes to assemble the army and prepare for war!"

Bai Dutong of the Royal Forest Army on the side was also filled with righteous indignation, but he maintained a sense of reason and composure: "It's just that it is not confirmed yet whether the assassination was planned by Feng Wuyang alone, or was it planned by the high-level officials of the Northern Territory Demon Kingdom? Your Majesty, the diplomatic relationship between the two countries is of great significance. The Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory has had friendly exchanges with our country before, and the two countries have always lived in peace and harmony. Feng Wuyang has visited our country several times before. This time, he came to assassinate the emperor for no reason. , there may be something hidden in it.”
