Murong Fu and Huang Ying looked at each other, and both saw deep horror in each other's eyes. Just when they thought the matter was over, suddenly the air around them tightened, and then a very strong aura rushed towards them.
The hiding place was swept away.
The two of them looked up and saw Murong Chao rushing towards him like a thunderbolt. A faint red light lit up in the palm of his right hand. It became more intense and exuded a heart-stopping aura.
It turned out that he had already discovered the hiding place of the two of them, and just pretended to leave, then suddenly turned around and attacked them secretly.
Murong Fu was shocked and angry at this. He held Huang Ying in one hand and pulled out the Heavenly Sword with the other. Without thinking, he slashed out with the sword. He didn't even check whether it hit Murong Chao. He immediately stood up and climbed along the city wall.
Go up.
As soon as Murong Chao saw the half-moon-shaped sword energy, the hair on his body stood up. Without any hesitation, he directed all his palm power towards the sword energy. When the sword energy turned into nothing, he wanted to set out to chase Murong Fu.
, at this time, a burst of compact and heavy footsteps came from the city gate.
He knew that it was the palace guards who had arrived, so he hesitated for a moment, went back to the place where the sedan was parked before, and lay down in the wreckage. By the way, he got a handful of blood from the dead servant next to him and wiped it on his face. He looked like this now.
, he was just a frail old man who had no strength and was assassinated.
At this moment, on a wall somewhere in the imperial city, Murong Fu and Huang Yingzheng had a panoramic view of this scene.
"It seems that Master Murong is not as simple as you said." Murong Fu glanced at Huang Ying, who was also surprised, and said teasingly.
Huang Ying came back to her senses and rolled her eyes at him slightly, "I just heard from grandpa that he is a good official, but I have never seen him. How do I know if he can do martial arts? Besides, who said that people who can do martial arts are not good officials?
Well, his unwillingness to reveal his martial arts might have something to hide, and it doesn’t prove anything."
When she said this, Murong Fu was really speechless. The incident this time was just that someone was assassinated first, and Murong Chao was forced to expose his martial arts to fight back in self-defense, which doesn't mean anything.
However, he secretly remembered Murong Chao in his heart. No matter what the purpose of this person was to hide his skills, he subconsciously felt that the other party must have an agenda, and this time the Blood Shadow Palace failed and lost three people.
Silver Medal Killer would never let it go like this.
Speaking of which, Murong Chao's martial arts was beyond Murong Fu's expectations. It could be said to be unfathomable. What puzzled him the most was that the opponent's momentum and movements all had a sense of déjà vu.
Imagination.
Although there was no head-to-head confrontation, Murong Fu could be sure that the opponent's skill would probably no longer be as good as Huang Shang's. If the opponent really mastered the Star Shift, I'm afraid the old man Huang Shang would not be his opponent.
"Could it be that the Dou Chuan Xing Shift that Murong Longcheng created back then has already been passed on to another tribe?" Such a thought flashed through Murong Fu's mind.
"Hey, you bad guy, what bad things are you thinking about?" Huang Ying saw that he had a strange expression and couldn't help but ask, but there was a hint of shyness in her tone.
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that he was holding something soft in his hand. In a moment of desperation, he picked up Huang Ying, turned her over into the wall, and kept holding her. He knew what the thing in his hand was without even thinking about it.
What's strange is that Huang Ying also pretended not to know. Could she be hinting at something? Murong Fu's mind turned quickly, and the posture of his hands remained unchanged, and he said vaguely, "I'm wondering who those who assassinated Murong Chao were."
who?"
Huang Ying was silent for a moment, "I think that should be the Blood Shadow Palace that is so talked about in the world. I don't know which bastard formed such an organization. It is really harmful."
The Blood Shadow Palace is widely rumored in the martial arts world, mainly because the Blood Shadow Palace has a very high reputation, and every business it takes over has never failed. In fact, this kind of killer organization is not uncommon in the world, but due to geographical relations,
Due to extreme restrictions, there are few that are as famous as the Blood Shadow Palace throughout the country.
In addition, the most talked-about person is the master behind the Blood Shadow Palace. So far, no one has definite information indicating which powerful force the Blood Shadow Palace is under. Of course, some people have suspected the Murong family, which has risen in recent years, but after tracing
There is nothing to gain, and no one wants to provoke a powerful killer organization.
After hearing Huang Ying's words, Murong Fu couldn't help but look a little ugly. This didn't mean he was scolding himself, but he quickly covered it up and squeezed it hard in his hand as if to retaliate.
"Oh!" Huang Ying was in pain, "You're going to die, you're trying so hard."
As she said this, she suddenly reacted, her body stiffened, and she said in a trembling voice, "You...you still won't let me go."
If this were normal times, Murong Fu would definitely push his limits, but now that the time and place were wrong, and he was still worried about Mu Jianping, he had to give up for the time being and let go of her.
The two of them moved up and down the eaves and walls, and soon disappeared into the palace attic.
Nearly an hour later, under Huang Ying's guidance, Murong Fu went to the Chui Gong Hall and the Imperial Garden successively, and found Lin Chaoying's hiding place according to the method mentioned by Huang Shang, but there was no sign of Mu Jianping in either place.
In front of an unknown palace, Murong Fu became irritable and cursed, "Where did that damn old woman hide her screen?"
Huang Ying saw a trace of red light flashing across his eyes from time to time, and his face was as gloomy as water. She couldn't help but feel frightened. She hurriedly comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I will take you to search elsewhere. Although the palace is big, it is not without traces."
It can be found, let’s go back to Zhaotai Palace and have a look, maybe you missed it before?”
When she said this, Murong Fu calmed down a lot. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't search Zhaotai Palace carefully last night. He didn't even go in to check Lin Chaoying's residence. Maybe he was really looking for something wrong.
Already.
"Thank you." After figuring out the problem, Murong Fu calmed down, his soft eyes fell on the beauty, and he softly uttered two words.
When Huang Ying heard him say these two words, she couldn't help but froze for a moment. She felt a small sense of accomplishment in her heart. It was not easy to make this arrogant man truly express his gratitude.
Then the two of them were about to leave for Zhaotai Palace, but at this moment, there was a sound of rustling footsteps not far away.
The two of them ducked and hid behind a pillar, and then a high-pitched voice said, "Hurry up, hurry up, His Highness has urged me several times, oh, be careful, if you dirty this lovely boy, you will all have to move your heads."
"
This voice was a bit familiar. Murong Fu frowned and suddenly remembered that the owner of the voice was Xiao Lizi who was with Prince Yuan Yi last night. He couldn't help but poked his head out and took a look. He saw Xiao Lizi with four little ones.
The eunuch hurried forward, and four young eunuchs were carrying a stretcher. Lying on the stretcher was a person, a woman. Her whole body was wrapped in a quilt, only a small section of her white neck and dark hair were exposed. Her head was tilted and she looked
Not even the face.
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was a rule in the palace. When the emperor wanted to favor his concubine, he would have the concubine cleaned and then carried to the emperor's palace. Although Prince Yuan Yi was not the emperor, as a prince, he
He is extremely loved, so there is nothing wrong with doing so.
"Be careful my ancestors, if anything happens, you won't even be able to survive..."
The group of people gradually walked away, and Murong Fu stared at Xiao Lizi's back, feeling that something important had been overlooked by him.
"This is the prince's person. Humph, this debauched and unscrupulous prince may have robbed another daughter. If not... forget it, let's go!" Huang Ying said with extreme contempt at the end.
His voice gradually became softer, and he sighed helplessly, urging Murong Fu to leave.
Murong Fu stood motionless on the spot, his brows furrowed. After a long while, his expression suddenly changed and he dashed towards the palace in the distance.
He suddenly remembered that yesterday, Prince Yuan Yi and Xiao Lizi went to the imperial city to pay tribute to Lin Chaoying, looking for a woman who was taken away by Lin Chaoying, and that woman was probably Mu Jianping, and now Xiao Lizi was anxious to
A woman was sent to the East Palace, so the identity of this woman just now...
"Hey you..." Huang Ying couldn't stop her, so she had to follow her. She was very surprised. She was very anxious before, but now she is not anxious anymore. Could it be that she listened to her own words and wanted to act chivalrously and save the person who was about to be rescued?
The murdered woman?
In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived in front of a luxurious palace and wrote the word "East Palace". In the main hall, Prince Yuan Yi was sitting in the main seat. Next to him, an old official with white hair and beard was sitting upright and talking nonstop.
Murong Fu looked around and couldn't find the figure of the little plum just now, but Prince Yuan Yi was still in the palace, so he was relieved.
"Your Highness, many people have starved to death in the four towns in central Hunan. There is a lot of criticism from the government and the public, and it is almost impossible to suppress it. You must find a way, otherwise if this continues, your Majesty will have opinions if something goes wrong.
Yes, there is also a letter from the guard general of Xiangyang City saying that the reputation of Guo Jing and his wife is growing day by day. The people of Xiangyang City only know Guo Jing but do not know the power of the imperial court. If things go on like this, Xiangyang City may become a country within a country..."
The old official continued to report without noticing the absent-minded look on Prince Yuan Yi's face.
"Your Highness? Your Highness the Crown Prince? Are you listening to what I'm saying?" Finally, the old official also noticed that Prince Yuan Yi was distracted and couldn't help but ask, with a faint hint of anger in his words.
"I heard it, I heard it," Prince Yuan Yi immediately came back to his senses and said respectfully, "Yuan Yi will bear in mind Master Tutor's admonition and will not dare or forget it."
The old man rolled his eyes, with a hint of deep exhaustion and helplessness on his face. With such a prince, the Song Dynasty had no hope at all. After thinking about it, he still asked, "What did the old minister just say?
Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"
Prince Yuan Yi didn't hear what he said just now. He vaguely remembered saying something about Xiangyang City. He thought for a moment and said, "In Xiangyang City, Guo Jing and his wife are just helping to defend the city. After all, they are just ordinary people. Let's do that."
, the grain, grass and ordnance allocated to Guo Jing will be reduced by half, and the rest will be allocated to the Xiangyang City garrison."
"Okay." The old official responded casually, shook his head secretly, sighed, and stood up to leave.
This was the best news for Prince Yuan Yi. He immediately stood up and sent the old man to the entrance of the palace. Suddenly he remembered something, "By the way, I heard that Guo Jing's wife is named Huang Rong, and she is the most beautiful woman in the world."
, I wonder if this is the case?”
The old lady stumbled, almost falling to the ground, and hurried away without saying a word.
