Tai Chi Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Chen was wearing an imperial robe and sitting in the main hall. There were many memorials on the table in front of him.
It is still the snow disaster situation in various places, as well as the progress and situation report of the second prince Xiao Hong's disaster relief.
But he was in no mood to read these memorials.
It’s not that I’m tired of watching it.
But...there is a crucial event today.
If this happens.
His worries will be completely eliminated.
Therefore, Xiao Chen was waiting, quietly but restlessly waiting for news.
Not even lunch.
I waited for a long time in the Tai Chi Hall of Tai Chi Palace.
at this time.
The warm sun is in the sky.
The sound of drums at noon came from the Imperial College.
Xiao Chen looked at the door of the hall.
Just a moment.
Ryan ran in panting and sweating profusely and slid to his knees on the ground.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, there are assassins on the side of Qujiang. Commander Yue is requesting your Majesty's order to close the gates of Chang'an City and send out Jinwu Guards and Xiao Guards to protect the capital."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, as if he was very shocked, and said loudly: "What did you say?"
Ruian quickly replied loudly: "Back to your majesty, assassins have appeared in Qujiang. Commander Yue requested your majesty to order the gates of Chang'an to be closed and Jinwu guards and Xiao guards to be dispatched to protect the capital."
"Your Majesty, there are assassins assassinating the Queen and the Concubine in Qujiang. The situation is extremely critical."
"Commander Yue sent someone back to the capital to report that all Fusi in Beizhen have been dispatched to Qujiang to capture the assassins. Your Majesty also requests that you send the Jinwu Guards and the Xiaowei Second Battalion of the Forbidden Army to protect the capital to prevent the assassins from sneaking in. In the imperial city.”
Xiao Chen immediately ordered: "Come here, please send orders to the generals Qin Ye, Cheng Ting, and Xue Yuan!"
"Order Qin Ye to lead people to guard the east and west gates!"
"Order Cheng Ting to lead people to guard the South City Gate and North City Gate!"
"Everyone who leaves or enters the city must be carefully checked. No thief can be let in or let go!"
"Order Xue Yuan to lead troops to Qujiang and bring back the queen, concubine and others. There must be no mistake!"
Ruian and others immediately clasped their fists and said, "Here!"
After Xiao Chen finished giving these instructions, he stood up and walked out of Tai Chi Hall.
He asked the palace maid to change his clothes, put on a smart outfit, and took the people to Xuande Tower.
Standing here, you can see Zhuque Street, the main street of Chang'an City, the capital.
It seems.
He seemed to be worried about Queen Wang and others.
In fact, he was waiting for someone else.
but.
Xiao Chen still had some surprises and doubts in his heart.
Why is there an assassin on Mei Niang's side?
…
The green bamboo that was originally swaying in the breeze suddenly made a huge wave.
The iron bamboo behind the black robe even broke into pieces.
This is the state of the master.
The whole body is condensed with innate true energy, and the inner energy is released outward, but the sword energy can spread across the nineteen states.
If one can practice to the level of Grand Master, or even break through to the realm of Grand Master, then one will be like a god on land.
I have never seen such a person before.
No one can break through the limits of the human body, and no one can achieve the same life span as heaven and earth by relying on the skills they practice.
However, in the state of perfection of a great master, he can cut off water, move mountains, destroy cities, and open the sky with a single blow.
Truly invincible.
There is a very strange long sword in the black robe's hand.
The hilt of the sword was round and there was a ball inside. When the black robe swung the sword, it made a buzzing sound. The sword body was bumpy and bumpy, not like a normal sword body, and the whole body was pitch black, as if it was Forged from dark iron, the whole thing is connected to the city.
When Xiao Yan saw this sword, his eyes turned cold.
Wandering Dragon Sword, Shadow Assassin.
That person was responsible for the assassination in Xiliang Prince's Mansion back then!
In the arena, even killer organizations such as Qingyi Tower still avoid this shadow assassin.
Sa!
Bamboo leaves rolled randomly in the air with the true energy.
One person and one sword.
Fighting out of the bamboo forest.
Only an afterimage was left.
Under the warm sun.
The afterimage left a strange trace in the sky.
This is the Shadow Assassin.
Seeing his shadow means that death is not far away.
Xiao Yan felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Even when they faced ten masters from the Central Plains in Maolong Ridge not long ago, including several assassins at the master level, they were not so dangerous.
Because at this moment, the red blood poison in his body affected the movement of his true energy and also affected his strength.
At the same time, he was alone.
Xiao Yan focused on two things. While suppressing the red blood poison, he swung the soft sword in his hand. The sword was as flexible as a swimming dragon, sometimes like a gentle drizzle, sometimes like a violent storm.
His steps are light and his figure is erratic, making him unpredictable.
Every attack seems to be an understatement, but there is a hidden murderous intention.
The reason why the Shadow Assassin can become the third person on the killer list is because of his unique movement skills.
He can leave several shadows in the sky, and each shadow looks very real, just like himself.
When attacking one of the shadows immediately, maybe... it is a shadow, and the real shadow assassin is on the other side, completing the assassination at the best angle and time.
Kill with one blow.
However, Xiao Yan's soft sword, like a swimming dragon, stabbed the shadow assassin.
Only a pair of eyes showed on his face.
At this time, there was once again a hint of surprise in these eyes.
The first time was because Xiao Yan carried a soft sword with him.
This time, I didn't expect Xiao Yan to be able to find his true body so quickly, almost in an instant!
Although the shadow assassin was surprised, he did not panic. Instead, he responded calmly. His swordsmanship was as fierce as a huge wave crashing on the shore.
Every step he took was firm and powerful, and every swing of his sword carried thunderous momentum. His offensive was like a mountain falling apart, making people frightened.
With his body skills, he should have been flexible and snake-like with his feminine sword skills.
but.
The shadow assassin practices the authentic Shushan swordsmanship... Xuanxin Mysterious Sword Technique.
The two swords intertwined, making a crisp metal collision sound.
Xiao Yan used the flexibility of the soft sword to constantly shuttle between the shadow assassin's attacks, sometimes getting close to his side, sometimes quickly retreating.
The shadow assassins relied on their powerful strength and resolute swordsmanship to continuously suppress Xiao Yan's offensive.
The bamboo leaves fell one after another in the sword energy of the two men, like a silent drizzle.
The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by the fierce fighting, and only the sword energy was everywhere, making it dizzying.
This was the first time that the Shadow Assassin encountered such a situation. The body technique he relied on most was useless in front of Xiao Yan.
He didn't know how Xiao Yan could see his true form every time and attack accurately every time.
As a result, the mission that was supposed to be a one-hit kill turned out to be on par with the target, and even had a slight disadvantage.
The shadow assassin immediately gave up his superb movement skills and no longer confused Xiao Yan with the shadow's virtuality and reality, because his movement skills were of no use in front of Xiao Yan. Instead, Xiao Yan found the truth every time. body, which affected his confidence.
The shadow assassin landed directly on the ground, revealing a flaw.
