A moment, just a moment.
Almost no one present could see clearly how Su Yi took action.
They only saw a black shadow suddenly rushing to the eaves, and then the assassin in black was instantly captured from the eaves.
Qiu Yun looked at Su Yi in front of her. In the past, in her eyes, this was just a humble servant who followed Wang Lin and worked hard.
But now, she knew what kind of martial arts Su Yi possessed.
However, she had no time to care about this now, but walked straight to the assassin.
There was a guard on the side who wanted to stop him, but was pushed away by him. The guards looked at Wang Lin, but Wang Lin just shook his head and signaled them not to stop him.
"Let me ask you, who ordered you to come?"
Qiu Yun reached out and grabbed the assassin's neck, asking with a trembling voice.
Even though she had a vague answer in her heart, she still refused to believe it.
She wanted to hear an answer to this question with her own ears.
"Someone asked me to take your life."
"Others, no comment..."
The man in black laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly, and then, Su Yi clearly saw the man in black's throat move.
"careful!"
Su Yi saw this and pulled Qiu Yun away from the assassin of the man in black.
Some assassins would hide hidden weapons in their mouths and spit out the needles of the hidden weapons when someone came close.
He had heard about the existence of such hidden weapons, so he prepared in time to pull Qiu Yun away from the assassin.
However, the assassin sneered at this time, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of hot, pitch-black blood from his mouth, spitting it on the stone bricks in front of him, emitting bursts of stench.
Only then did Su Yi react. He grabbed the chin of the assassin in black, pinched his cheeks and looked inside.
"It's useless, he's already dead."
Wang Lin said calmly from the side.
Although he does not have as powerful a force as Su Yi, judging from the situation just now, the assassin in front of him should have committed suicide by taking poison.
This is a real dead soldier, not something that ordinary people can afford.
Therefore, the answer Qiu Yun wants is actually ready to come out.
She looked at the pool of black blood on the ground and sat on the ground with blank eyes. Originally, I thought that I was the most capable general for Li Zhang.
But from the moment he watched the assassin in front of him take poison and commit suicide in front of him, he realized that neither he nor the man in black in front of him was special to Li Zhang.
She and he are both pawns.
A chess piece that can be reduced to a discarded piece.
When Li Zhang is of use, she gives Wang Lin a warm jade that can be used to confuse Wang Lin's mind.
But now he has obviously lost his value. To Li Zhang, he is just a pile of precious stones.
Even if it is destroyed, Wang Lin will not be allowed to get it!
"How is it? Do you have any ideas now?" Wang Lin looked at Qiu Yun in front of him and said.
Qiu Yun looked up at Wang Lin in front of her, feeling a little strange in her heart.
what idea?
Do people like them have any ideas?
"Kill or behead, it's up to you." Qiu Yun sneered and said to Wang Lin in front of her.
In her heart, Wang Lin's current posture was just to see her humbly begging for mercy in front of him. After all, based on the things he had done by his side before, could he be able to use himself again?
"I will give you a chance to choose. You will continue to stay by my side and work wholeheartedly. I will spare your life. This is one of them."
"Secondly, continue to resist stubbornly. I understand that you have such courage and will give you a happy life."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun's eyes suddenly opened wide and she looked up at Wang Lin.
What met him was Wang Lin's unfathomable gaze.
"At this time, I will give you time to think about it. Now I will enter the palace to kill the thief. When I come back, I hope you have already thought of an answer."
After that, Wang Lin, Su Yi, Su Hongxiu and dozens of elite guards mounted their horses and ran towards the palace.
Looking at the backs of everyone riding away, Qiu Yun actually felt some different emotions in her heart.
…
The capital, the palace, and the outer city.
The palace seems to be particularly peaceful tonight. Not only is the temperature not as hot as in July and August, but there is also a disk-like crescent moon in the sky, which is scattering the moonlight on the stone slabs in the palace, giving it a cool atmosphere. .
However, under this peaceful imperial city, there was an undercurrent surging.
A burst of horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the night first, and a group of about dozens of people rushed towards the interior of the imperial city.
Behind them, there were thousands of troops and horses surrounding the palace.
"Father, it seems that a few people rushed into the palace just now. Do you think it will..." Li Fu's voice was hesitant.
"Ineffective thing!" Li Zhang saw Li Fu's expression and immediately cursed, "If Wang Lin hadn't come, we could have killed him later."
"But if he has entered the palace now, he can die with his good-for-nothing brother!"
After that, he turned around and ordered the soldiers and horses behind him: "Come here, surround me with this imperial city!"
The soldiers are all wearing armor, and they look like elites in the army. Before that, someone should have done a good job of psychological construction for them.
Just hearing a rumble, the shield soldiers were in front and the rest of the troops were behind. They immediately formed several rows and immediately surrounded the gate of the imperial city.
At this time, the gates of the imperial city were tightly closed, and the gate towers of the imperial city were already filled with soldiers holding crossbows.
"What are you doing!"
A sharp shout came from the city gate tower.
The people under the city gate looked at the densely packed crossbowmen above the city gate, and their scalps instantly went numb.
Only then did they know why the imperial palace was called the most dangerous place in Beijing.
However, Li Zhang did not waver at all under this fierce shout.
He raised the torch in his hand and looked up at the officers and soldiers above the city gate who were in charge of asking questions:
"The Holy One is seriously ill and King Lin is in chaos."
"Brother Li Zhang, I came to Qingjun's side to show you the way!"
After saying a few words, there was a moment of silence around him.
The soldier who had just asked the question had already retracted his head, thinking that he should have reported it to the officials in charge here.
In front of the city gate where there had just been a burst of footsteps and noise, it was suddenly quiet except for the chirping of insects in early autumn and the crackling sound of torches under the city gate.
After all, none of them knew how this farce would end.
If the bet is won, the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven.
Lost the bet, plunged into the abyss!
After an unknown amount of time, the wooden door that had just been closed in the imperial city slowly opened again at this moment.
I saw an official in official robes with his hands clasped in his fists, smiling repeatedly at Li Zhang in front of him.
"Congratulations to Mr. Pavilion!"
