"Yan Nan!" Yan Zhener changed color, "What do you mean!"

Emperor Tianxi's eyes were like cold abysses, hiding unfathomable murderous intentions: "It is my utmost benevolence to save your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for violating my oath to the late emperor and beheading you to nine stages."

"How dare you! When you ascended the throne, in front of all the officials, you swore to give priority to the orphans of the late emperor! Even if I break the law, I will not be punished, the crime will not be punished by death, the title will not be taken away, and hereditary will not replace you! You are enthroned by me.Accompanying you to accept the worship of hundreds of officials! Worshiping ancestors and heaven is also my prayer for you as a direct descendant! What are you!"

The palace gate behind Emperor Tianxi was slashed by a knife light again, blood was poured over, and some people were dragged down without even screaming.

Blood seeped in through the crack of the door.

Emperor Tianxi stood with his hands behind his back, his year-round power made him stand tall without saying a word, he looked at Yan Zhener like a madman: "I am the crown prince appointed by the late emperor."

Yan Zhener has always thought that he has the capital to despise Emperor Tianxi, he laughed wildly: "If it wasn't for the difficulty of having a child in the first branch of the Yan family, and my father's serious illness, I gave you the crown prince first! Otherwise, why would it be your turn?you!"

Emperor Tianxi keenly grasped the edge of Yan Zhener's words, he was completely sure in his heart, and said coldly: "This matter, no one else is to blame. Besides, even if you are a prince, you were born too late."

When Yan Zhener heard this sentence, his heart settled down a bit, and he confirmed that Emperor Tianxi didn't know his gender during this test.Those who know about this matter are only a few very important people, and there has never been a leak in more than 20 years.He is always safe.

As long as he is a princess, he can live unscrupulously. He vented his resentment wantonly: "Even if you choose from the side branch, you have almost no chance. Your father is just a two-word county king who is a prince. To youAt most, you can only attack the general of the country! Let alone you are a concubine!"

Emperor Tianxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and stopped pulling out the jade beads.

If Ming Zhong was by his side at this time, he would know that this was a fatal danger signal.

Yan Zhener's mind raced.Every word he said, he was reviewing tonight's plan, win or lose, it all ends here, and Cheng Ze will turn around tomorrow, announcing the identity of the last emperor's son, and then there will be old people playing to ask Emperor Tianxi to set him upAs the prince; if he fails, he hides in the princess's skin and lives a rich life.

Success or failure does not matter to him.

Yan Zhener didn't want to bear it any longer.The hour has come, and the assassination of Xuan Yin is in progress. Tonight, he used the resources left to him by his late emperor and his years of accumulation, just to kill a frail Yan Xi, and he is bound to win.

Yan Zhener's endurance for many years can't suppress the excitement of the upcoming new life. After 23 years of Yi Bian Erchai, he almost can't tell who he is. He said more wildly: "That's right, only youThose who can't get on the stage will have no dignity of the royal family, and by virtue of being my father's companion, they will try their best to flatter everyone like a pug!"

Emperor Tianxi was not angered, he just turned colder and colder, he found some subtle calculations from Yan Zhener's untimely arrogance.

Emperor Tianxi has been a strategist of people's hearts for many years. He peeled off Yan Zhener's trump card layer by layer along the clues and said: "What you said are all things that happened before you became enlightened. Someone must have told you. From this point of view, the first emperorI actually left a lot of leftovers for you. I have balanced the court all these years. It turns out that besides the four surnames, there are also the leftovers of the late emperor who are fishing in troubled waters. Today is a surprise. I can not only eliminate the Xiao family but also clean it.Rebellious officials."

These former emperor's descendants are Yan Zhener's confidence, he angrily said: "How dare you! They are my father's courtiers!"

Emperor Tianxi said coldly: "There is only one emperor in Da Jing, and his subjects are loyal to Da Jing. They should not be divided between the former emperor and me. If they can't obey my orders, they are Da Jing's chaotic officials. Not only me, the court is clean, but also willKill them indiscriminately."

Fang Xun's blade curled.

Originally, there were only a few assassins chasing him, but after he packed up, he didn't have a long way to go, and people kept coming around.

The dark guards who came to help him fell into the exhaustion with him.

Fang Xun keenly realized that this was not a simple assassination, this kind of formation was more cruel and bloody than fighting for positions on the battlefield.

It is not enough to kill a court official.

Years of combat experience gave him a critical judgment, and when he avoided another flash of sword light, Yu Xiuyu took out the military order bullet that could only be issued at a critical moment.

The lead wire was pulled out, and the fireworks rushed into the sky, and the pitch-black sky was immediately dyed blood red.The hot gunpowder ignited flames in the air, sputtering and opening the clouds like a cloud.

This is just an ordinary day, and the common people raised their heads when they heard the sound.

The child asked his mother: "Mother, there are fireworks! Chinese New Year!?"

The woman hugged the child and raised it up to look at it: "Today is not Chinese New Year, maybe some precious family has a happy event, so they set off such beautiful fireworks."

The man in the family had been on the battlefield before, and he pondered: "These fireworks are extraordinary, the color of blood burns into a cloud, to me it looks like... the signal graupel of the Snowwalker Army."

The Kongming lantern that Shang Baiheng asked someone to release was temporarily blocked by the fireworks.He picked up a class by himself and hurried on the way to Xuanzhai.

The painting on his lamp is "Qingming", and his eyes are always chasing the light of "Awakening Insects" in the sky. When he saw the fireworks explode, he realized that another force was involved.

The pattern of the fireworks was consistent with the pattern of the snow treading army military order bullets he had read in the military book, Shang Baiheng took a deep breath.

He was processing the sudden and complicated information in his mind, realizing that tonight might be a fatal situation.

The peach-colored candlelight of "Awakening of Insects" awakened the dormant people everywhere in Jingdu. They recognized the meaning of "Awakening of Insects" under the night sky. They took off all kinds of clothes on their bodies and put on night clothes.Swords and swords were drawn from inconspicuous places such as walls, cracks in the wall, and moved out like a shadow chasing the wind.

In Beiyuan Palace, Song Beiming and Song Yuexiao are discussing matters in the courtyard, and the guards are on guard from afar.

Pushing the wheelchair, Song Yuexiao stood still by the small pond, said solemnly: "Today, three princes went to visit the court, the court was shaken, and the civil servants cried and cried, and all the officials wore sackcloth and filial piety."

Song Beiming looked at the pool of water and murmured, "Now there is only King Qin of Yuedong County left, but King Qin was disfigured and seriously injured, so he is not a good choice for the heir apparent."

Song Yuexiao sighed and said, "The Inner Pavilion has been discussing the regulations overnight, and tomorrow we will play a performance to welcome King Qin into the capital. With the current situation, it is imperative to establish a crown prince."

Song Beiming felt inexplicably upset, got up from the wheelchair and said, "Now I'm afraid King Qin won't be able to enter the capital."

"I entered the capital this time, and it seems that your legs are much better than before. Did you find some good medicine?" Song Yuexiao was very relieved to see that Song Beiming didn't struggle to stand for a long time as before.

This made Song Beiming miss a certain person. That person left him the day before yesterday and went back to Xuanzhai two days in a row. He was thinking that he should find Xuanzhai after discussing with Song Yuexiao today.

He slightly opened his eyes and said, "It's much better."

Song Yuexiao was worried about the current situation, so she didn't notice Song Beiming's concealed expression. She said, "I've seen all kinds of movements in Jingdu recently, and it's a little weird."

"Today is even worse." Song Beiming said, "Just now the Pigeon Department came to report that the Han family and the Lu family had a secret meeting after their fall. Now that the Jiang and Xiao families have fallen one after another, these two families are at a time when they are too busy to take care of themselves and are in a hurry to retreat.in private"

At this moment, red fireworks exploded in the sky.

This is the military order bullet of the Snow-Treading Army, the whole army saw it and set off immediately.

Song Yuexiao and Song Beiming looked at each other and touched the knife at the same time.

Song Beiming recognized the location where the fireworks exploded in an instant, said badly, and said to Song Yuexiao, "Sister, the location of Xuanzhai."

Lifting the knife, he jumped out of the courtyard wall.

The alley outside Xuanzhai.

Zi Yuan's horizontal sword stood in front of the Xuanzhai gate.

At the beginning, she beheaded a few people and rushed to Xuan's house. Seeing the situation inside, she and Yan Xi exchanged glances, and then guarded the door tacitly.

Yan Xi asked her to guard this alley and this gate.

She listened to the constant exchange of weapons in the door, and she could roughly judge Yan Xi's skill. If Yan Xi was not there, she would definitely die here today.

The incoming enemies are all masters, she blocked the door to meet the incoming swords, leaving time for Yan Xi who was behind her, and concentrated on dealing with the strongest intruder.

Yan Xi turned around, and the flowing frost drew the arc of a full moon, and the blood splashed around with the blade.His hand dropped to his side, blood dripping down the blade.

Tick, tick, another pool of blood flowed out.

There were already four corpses lying here and there on the ground, and the yard was so small that people had nowhere to stay.

Yan Xi raised his blood-stained boots and kicked the corpse to one side.His right hand holding the knife convulsed slightly due to excessive force and haste.

He loosened his fingers one by one, staring at the opposite enemy silently.

There are two left, and they are the strongest masters in this batch.

These two are the leaders of this operation.

The two chiefs thought that this was just an extremely easy assassination. When they came here, they heard that the target of the mission was a civil servant.

As long as you succeed tonight, you will be a high-ranking official and rich salary, and you will be prosperous for generations.

Did not expect to meet an opponent here.

The two leaders alternated positions, staring closely at Yan Xi.

They raised their swords cautiously, not daring to relax their vigilance against any movement of the civil servant in front of them, because this civil servant can use any posture as a starting gesture, and the smooth lines of the knife will stab at any tricky angle.the hearts of their brothers.

The civil servant's first knife made them feel the threat of death.

What made them more and more frightened was that this civil official was stingy every time he used his sword, and only took their vitals. It was often their people who saw the sword reaching their eyes, and the blade had already penetrated into the flesh and blood.

All the blood in the yard belonged to their brothers.

However, this operation cannot be retreated, and the woman behind them is so powerful that they have blocked their retreat. Except for the first-class masters who can jump over the woman to supply supplies, the brothers in the yard have nowhere to retreat to face this civil servant.

Just looking at the appearance, this is a frail beauty who makes people feel pity at a glance, but this person's sword technique is flawless, as if he can count every time they make a knife, and he fights back with pain.

Moreover, this man looked thin and weak, but he seemed to have endless strength. They were a team of six, and they planned to kill each other with more enemies than few, but the other party just cut off their brother's head with a knife.

Terrible strength.

and too cruel methods.

At the level of their killers, they have not been in the situation of being slaughtered for many years.

The remaining two leaders were not sure that they could work together to kill the civil servant. They looked at each other, and when they heard the woman behind them retreating for another round of support, they trembled in their hearts, and looked at Yan Xi in unison.

Yan Xi stayed in place, breathing in an orderly manner.

This was the most difficult battle he had ever encountered. With one against six, he was required to save as much energy as possible and not use meaningless knives.He has been familiar with the Han family's sword skills for a long time. Every time he moves a sword, he can calculate the best time to use the sword based on the situation, movement and angle.

He was able to practice the sword technique of a super-class expert in just five years, not only because of the strength of the famous teacher He Rong, but also because of his super high learning and calculation ability.Years of hard training and the thinking and calculation skills that have been trained through learning are the strengths that Yan Xi relies on to win in battle.

"Rong" has been mobilized by the fighting spirit, continuously burning his blood to provide him with strength.

His whole body was in full bloom.

Liushuang is a knife given to him by the old general of Han Yang, and it is made of fine steel forged from the materials of hundreds of precious knives.After many times of hand-to-hand combat and vigorous confrontation, Liu Shuang did not leave a breach.

He and Liu Shuang seemed to have merged into one, forming an excited, calm and flawless knife.

Yan Xi looked at the enemy on the opposite side, and stretched the fingers hanging by his side against the clock to regain flexibility as soon as possible.

The two chiefs noticed Yan Xi's unusual pause.

The leader is the most experienced assassin, at first he was grateful for the chance to breathe, but he also tried his best to adjust his breath, and then he keenly noticed Yan Xi's hand that was always hidden on the side.

The leader glanced at each other quickly, with surprise in their eyes.

They were thrown into disarray by Yan Xi, and they almost forgot that even if their strength could last, their joints and muscles couldn't maintain sustained tension.

They immediately understood that there was something wrong with Yan Xi's hand holding the knife.

In the life-and-death battle, the murderous intent of the two leaders was revealed in a split second. They seized Yan Xi's rare opening and attacked from two directions.

However, the blood light was drawn out by the blade again.

The two chiefs watched in disbelief as Yan Xi changed the hand holding the knife, one of them fell heavily into a pool of blood, his eyes were fixed on Yan Xi until his death, and he complained bitterly——this is impossible.

With the knife in his left hand, Yan Xi aimed at the only remaining leader.

He opened his lips and uttered the first sentence since the battle: "Who sent you here?"

The leader saw with his own eyes that his companion died under Yan Xi's unpredictable change of hands. Looking at this Shura with exquisite sword skills, he felt the most terrifying fear in his life.

It is extremely rare for a swordsman to be able to practice one hand well in his life, but the person in front of him can use a knife with both hands.

And the backhand knife is more weird and tricky than the forehand angle. The leader Xin witnessed the death of his companion, and judged that it was him at the time, and he couldn't react how to counterattack.

He already knew he couldn't go back.

However, the mission this time is a death warrant. If he retreats, it will hurt the whole family; if he dies in battle, the family behind him will have no worries about food and clothing because of his sacrifice.

Moreover, he knew that there were more reinforcements.

Killing this person is a task that can definitely be completed. As long as he buys time for reinforcements, it is also a military exploit for him.

The leader changed his mind, he wanted to delay the time.

With the knife in his left hand, Yan Xi got used to a kill and found the feel. He faced the last assassin, and in just a few moves, he realized that the opponent was deliberately dodging.

The other party was killing time.

Yan Xi sneered, and Liu Shuang let out an excited cry of wanting to drink blood, biting towards the other's heart.

Yan Xi said coldly: "You can't wait for reinforcements."

The leader didn't see how Yan Xi used the knife, and lost his life in the procrastination that he was best at.

Yan Xi retracted Liu Shuang, without looking at the fallen corpse, she looked at Zi Yuan who was fighting.

The spasm in the fingers of his right hand has subsided slightly.

Zi Yuan felt his gaze, and when she resolved another attack, she turned her head and exchanged eyes with Yan Xi.

Yan Xi walked towards Zi Yuan slowly, adjusting her breath during this step and seized the time to soothe the fingers of her right hand.

However, just when he was about to switch back to his forehand, a dark tide surged from far and near.

Yan Xi stabilized her figure, and instantly understood the leader's intention to delay the time.

This was no longer a mere assassination.

Among the assassins, there are not only killers who specialize in taking human heads, but also well-trained dead soldiers. Even the surrounding area of Xuanzhai is controlled, and the participation of soldiers cannot be ruled out.

Seeing the intruder who was approaching in an instant, Yan Xi raised the knife in his left hand.

He understood that such a costly and well-planned killing was a premeditated and well-planned coup.

Yan Xi clenched the knife with his backhand, and when the first assassin who was eager to try came to him, Liu Shuang delivered the first blow of the new round.

The blood light completely splashed the night.
