Suddenly being held in the arms of a strange man, Li Qingzhao suddenly became anxious and subconsciously wanted to push him away.
But as an extremely familiar breath came, she suddenly froze on the spot.
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but look up at the other person. Although the person in front of him looked handsome, he was indeed not his lover. But why was the aura on the other person exactly the same as Murong Fu's?
The two of them were already close to each other, so how could she admit that she was wrong about her lover's scent?
Just when Li Qingzhao was having wild thoughts, Murong Fu had already brought her to a safe place.
"Everyone get out!"
Murong Fu looked at the people gathered together and immediately shouted angrily.
Everyone was crowded into the boathouse, and he really couldn't move. In addition, there were wooden boards around him. If the other party stabbed someone casually through the wooden boards, he might kill someone. How could he protect him completely?
Although he didn't know who was dispatching the assassins from the Shadow Tower, Murong Fu didn't have time to think about it now.
He calmly took out a jade pendant from his arms and hung it on his waist. When he reached a place with a wide view, as long as the assassins from the Shadow Tower saw his jade pendant, they would retreat.
"If you go out now, aren't you looking for death?"
"If the assassin releases an arrow, wouldn't everyone become a living target?"
"Let's wait for the people from the Palace Department and the Imperial City Department to escort us!"
"I also think it's safer this way."
…
Hearing that Murong Fu asked them to go out, the ministers of the Song court hesitated. They all felt that it was safer to stay here and believed that someone would come to escort them soon.
Murong Fu was so angry that he wanted to curse, thinking, am I worried about your lives? I feel sorry for my shadow assassin!
If the people from the Palace Front Division and the Imperial City Division arrive, even if the assassins from the Shadow Tower have practiced evil-proofing sword skills, they won't be able to withstand the large number of people. If they all die, that's it, but they are captured and taken back to the Imperial City Division. Who knows if the interrogation will reveal the secrets of the Murong family?
Moreover, if the Imperial City Secretary finds out that they are all purified people, some of his arrangements in the palace will definitely be affected a lot.
Therefore, Murong Fu never made a killing move, just because he was afraid that someone would damage it here and leave any traceable clues.
But when he saw that none of the Song Dynasty officials cooperated, he became very angry.
At this moment, two more people rushed in, but they did not rush towards Emperor Zhezong, but went straight towards Helian Tieshu.
Helian Tieshu frowned. Why did he feel that these assassins did not come to kill the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but to kill him?
Murong Fu stepped in front of Helian Tieshu and thrust his sword diagonally, forcing the two of them back.
"Who asked you to come!"
Just as the two men in black were about to continue their attack, Murong Fu's voice suddenly sounded in their ears. Under the candlelight, the white jade around the other man's waist gave off a faint halo, which immediately attracted their attention. .
When they saw the pattern on the jade pendant clearly, their pupils shrank and they were immediately at a loss.
"Let everyone retreat!"
Murong Fu suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, struck them on the shoulders with his palm, and knocked them to the deck. At the same time, he gave orders using the method of transmitting sounds into the secret.
After the two people looked at each other, they immediately got up from the ground and jumped up. The cloaks on their bodies were like wings, covering their figures. From a distance, they looked like two huge black figures. The hat leaps through the air.
"Hat-demon! It's Hat-demon!"
At this time, the boathouse had already been damaged and riddled with holes, so the situation on the deck could be seen through the gaps.
When they saw the two people flying away, someone in the crowd shouted something like this, and everyone started to panic.
With a whistle, the assassins who were still fighting with the Dianqianji jumped into the air one after another and flew towards the distant shore. There was no place to borrow any force during the process. It looked like they were flying in the sky. .
Coupled with the wide cloak, it does look a bit like a hat.
It is said that in May of the second year of Tianxi, there were rumors in Xijing that something like a black hat would fly into people's houses at night and turn into the shape of a dog or wolf. The people are so frightened that they shut themselves up every night and drive them away with weapons. In the sixth month of Yisi, it was reported to the capital that the cloud was capable of cannibalism. People gather in the alleys and sit around, making noises as high as dawn, especially in the military camp. However, they are really invisible, and they are thought to be the actions of monsters.
This is a real event recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, so it is widely circulated.
Although eighty years have passed, it is still a strange incident that few people can remember. In addition, the hat demon can not only transform into a wolf dog, but also into human form.
If the assassin just now was a pretender, his ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth was unmistakable. Everyone present had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Therefore, when one person said it was a hat demon, everyone invariably accepted it, only to feel that they were enveloped by a shadowy evil spirit, with cold hands and feet, and chills all over their bodies.
However, Murong Fu knew that these were just tricks used by Shadow Tower to bluff people.
The reason why it can leap into the air is just that the rope has been set up in advance. In ancient times without searchlights, it would be difficult to find it if you didn't look carefully.
As for the first person who just shouted "Hat Demon", Murong Fu couldn't help but glance at him.
He didn't know whether someone was pretending to be a ghost about the so-called Hat Monster rumors back then, but these two words today were obviously false.
After all, Tokyo is the capital city of the Song Dynasty. If Shadow House wants to act cheaply, it will naturally have to put more thought into it, so as not to leave any loopholes and be caught by the Imperial City Division.
Ever since, Bao BuTong found the case of the Hat Monster in the rumors that his daughter Bao BuLiang was reading.
From now on, all shadow assassins operating in Tokyo will wear this outfit. Even if they are accidentally discovered, they can be fooled by their bizarre ghost stories.
Murong Fu would not be able to identify the other party's identity with a simple disguise. It was not until the assassin used the evil-proof sword technique that he realized that the other party was from the Shadow Tower.
"To kill the emperor in Tokyo, I, the Murong family, don't think we are so bold... If the target is not Zhao Xu, then it can only be..."
Thinking of this, Murong Fu couldn't help but look at Helian Tieshu.
But seeing that the other party was also frowning at this moment, it was obvious that he had discovered something.
Not long after, dozens of people boarded the painted boat. While protecting Emperor Zhezong, they also moved the boat to the shore.
Looking at Li Qingzhao, who was still in shock, Murong Fu wanted to step forward to comfort him, but thinking of his current status, he could only hold back and sigh.
Just as he turned around to follow Helian Tieshu and left, Li Qingzhao also looked at him in time, and was about to say thank you, but saw that the other party's back had already walked away.
"Fulang..."
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but murmur, with deep thoughts in his eyes.
As soon as Murong Fu and others returned to the post house, people from the Imperial City Division came to the door. They simply asked about the martial arts skills of the men in black, hoping to use this as a clue to investigate the identity of the assassins. .
