In the emperor's palace.
Xuan Ye, Xue Tianhan, Huo Yuanji, and Xing Enming sat around a round table.
None of them spoke. Therefore, the atmosphere in the palace seemed very solemn for a while.
This dignified atmosphere lasted until Puyang's arrival.
"Your Majesty, everything has been deployed, and the commander of the Imperial City Army has also begun searching for explosives in the inner courtyard of the palace and other palaces."
Hearing this, Xuan Ye nodded.
"I know. What time is it now?"
Pu Yang replied: "At the seventh quarter of Hai hour, there is another quarter, which is Zi hour."
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "A quarter of an hour?"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Huo Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Tianhan and I will definitely not let you lose a hair."
Xuan Ye said: "Yuanji, do you think I am afraid of the assassin who assassinated me?"
Huo Yuanji asked curiously: "Isn't it?"
Xuan Ye shook his head slightly and said: "Of course not. How could I be afraid of a mere assassin? I was just wondering whether this assassination might be caused by Ye Hong again."
Huo Yuanji asked curiously: "Why would your Majesty think so?"
Xuan Xi said: "I have to think about it! In the whole world, the person who wants me to die the most is Ye Hong. And after the last sacrifice to heaven, this person disappeared again, but I have an intuition , he should still be alive. And as long as he lives, he will definitely find a way to take my life. That’s why I think so."
After hearing this, Huo Yuanji thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty does have a point in thinking so. But for now, we should first deal with this assassin who is coming but is overestimating his abilities..."
Hearing this, Xuan Ye was shocked and nodded immediately.
And while they were talking about these things in the palace, Chen Yutian had also arrived at the palace. Along the way, he discovered that the palace was extremely sparsely guarded tonight, and that none of the dragon guard patrol teams that were usually seen everywhere were actually seen tonight.
This naturally made him suspicious. After asking, he learned that almost all the palace guards had been mobilized to the inner garden of the palace tonight to protect His Majesty the Emperor.
After learning the news, Chen Yutian almost immediately used Qing Gong and came to the inner garden of the palace.
As soon as he arrived in front of the door, he heard a voice calling him: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen!"
When Chen Yutian looked back, he saw several figures lying quietly on the roof not far away. They were the five people from the Nine Dragons Divine Catcher except Xuan Xi and Ice and Fire.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Yutian jumped up and went directly to the roof without disturbing anyone. He also squatted on the roof with them and asked.
Tang Fengling replied: "Your Majesty the Emperor arranged for us to keep an eye on the palace grounds in the dark to prevent any suspicious people from sneaking in."
After she finished speaking, she muttered in a low voice: "To have women like us squatting on the roof in the middle of the night, it's really a pity that we don't understand at all. No wonder we don't have a harem until now."
Although her voice was soft when she said this, the people around her naturally listened to her words word for word due to their poor hearing. After listening, everyone smiled secretly.
Chen Yutian also smiled, and then his expression condensed. After saying a few words to everyone, everyone showed disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth?" Wu Dongtian asked.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly and smiled: "Of course. So you come with me now, otherwise you will regret it once it's too late."
Everyone nodded and followed him off the roof.
…
royal palace. Treasure house.
Tonight, because too many troops were mobilized from the inner garden of the palace for defense, the rest of the palace, except the inner garden, was slightly empty.
Treasure House is one of them.
At this time, on the roof of the treasure house that guarded the emptiness of power, a black shadow appeared silently.
This person's body was uniformly black, and even his appearance was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
He glanced towards the inner garden of the palace, sneered, then went straight down to the treasure house door, opened the door and walked in.
After a while, he walked out of the treasure house, with something more in his hand.
Looking at the inner garden of the palace in the distance, the black shadow sneered, then went directly to the roof and prepared to leave.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Do you want to leave now?"
As the voice fell, the departing figure of the black shadow suddenly stagnated.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes suddenly opened wide.
Immediately he looked back and saw a figure walking slowly behind him, dressed in white and holding a jade fan. It was undoubtedly Chen Yutian.
Behind him, Wu Dongtian, Lin Dao, Ling Miaoyin, Gongsun, and Tang Fengling stared closely at the man in black in front of them, with shock and coldness intertwined in their eyes.
The black shadow looked at the six people in front of him, his expression full of surprise.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Why, are you surprised? I didn't expect that I could see your plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west, right?"
The shadow was silent.
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Do you think I won't know your identity if you don't speak? Brother Shi, Shi Dongji!"
Hearing this, the black figure's eyes suddenly flashed.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a ray of moonlight shone on the black shadow's face, immediately illuminating his appearance.
It's the hole release machine!
Seeing him, Lin Dao on the side was immediately shocked!
As for Shi Dongji, he and Chen Yutian once had a stop with him, so they knew something about this person.
Among them, the most impressive thing is that this person is the mysterious Futian Sect member!
At this moment, the Shidong Machine actually appeared here. Does this mean that this case is related to the Futian Sect?
Shi Dongji looked at Chen Yutian, smiled slightly and said, "Chen Yutian, we meet again. I'm curious, how did you know it was me?"
Chen Yutian pointed to his nose: "It's the smell!"
Shi Dongji asked: "Smell?"
Chen Yutian said: "That's right. During the last battle, I accidentally discovered that you had a very special smell. And when I saw you just now, I smelled that special smell again."
Hearing this, Shi Dongji smiled bitterly.
The smell around him is indeed a bit special, because the sachet he wears contains a very special spice, which can attract a kind of zerg called a golden-winged silver worm, and this golden-winged silver worm Qiao is the tool they use to communicate with the Futian Sect.
However, the smell of this spice is very light, and it is basically impossible to smell it if you don't smell it carefully. But Shi Dongji didn't expect that Chen Yutian would be so attentive, and that even such a light fragrance would be remembered so well by him.
"I didn't expect that it was the spice that exposed my identity. It seems I have to be careful in the future!" Shi Dongji smiled slightly.
However, after hearing this, Chen Yutian suddenly sneered:
"Next time? Do you think you will have such a chance?"
