There was a dangerous atmosphere filling the earth. The masked figure in the middle seemed to be the leader. Behind the black scarf covering his face, he smiled coldly and said in a cold voice: "When you get down to the underworld, go and ask the Lord of Hell yourself!"
With a gesture, he waved the black spear and took the lead to sweep towards Dongfang Yi. Dongfang Yi glanced rapidly and noticed that the tip of the spear was shining brightly in the dark night.
Suddenly, with a stroke of his feet, he floated back several feet on the ground. However, the sword wind roared behind his head, and the two people had circled behind him to launch a sneak attack. Dongfang Yi's face darkened. The martial arts of these people were much stronger than he expected.
, it seems that this person behind the scenes is really going to work hard to get rid of him.
However, it is not so easy to deal with him, Dongfang Yi. When he left the palace just now, he had left a secret signal, and those who believed in him would arrive soon.
Thinking about it, a sneer appeared on the corner of Dongfang Yi's mouth, he calmed down, and started fighting with everyone. However, in addition to their outstanding skills, these people all carried swords and sharp weapons. If he was a little careless, he would not be able to escape misfortune. It seemed that, in
Before his people come, he has to wait for an opportunity to get out of trouble.
The sword flashed, the snow flew, and hundreds of moves passed in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yi gathered his inner strength in his left hand, knocked off the blade with a palm, and landed hard on the chest of the masked man. The man grunted, and the knife came out of his hand. He immediately vomited blood, but was shaking.
Refusing to fall down, he roared wildly and hugged Dongfang Yi's left arm tightly, refusing to let go.
Dongfang Yichen pushed with his inner strength, but was unable to throw him away. At this moment, the weapons of the other people all slashed at his. Dongfang Yichen concentrated his energy with his right hand and swung the masked man away, but at this moment,
At this moment, I felt a sharp pain in my waist!
The white brocade robe was stained with blood. He pulled it out towards the sword. A few drops of blood splashed in the air. With eyes as cold as ice and snow, he touched the wound with his hand and looked at the bright red blood on his hand. The heavy snow was flying and his body became heavier and heavier.
, and almost no one could be seen clearly.
He was condensing an inner energy, and the blood-stained clothes seemed to float suddenly. Seeing that he was injured, the masked men all rushed towards him, hoping to kill him.
However, in the next second, the sword was broken and blood splashed, just like a strong wind swept by. The bright red blood flew with the wind and dripped to the ground. The corpses of several people were shocking.
Dongfang Yi's ink-like hair danced wildly in the wind. He stood tall, with blood dripping from his waist on the ground. His face was pale and smelled of serious injury, his lips turned white, and he coughed out a mouthful of bruises...
The cold wind suddenly picked up and rolled up the blizzard. Suddenly, a ball of snowflakes flew towards the men in black like a cold arrow. The wind brought in a strange breath. The man in black suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately unsheathed his sword.
Turn around.
The other men in black also turned around and looked around cautiously. At this moment, no one was seen, and there was no movement at all. All they saw was that the silver bars on the trees began to fall rapidly, and the cold wind howled.
At this time, with the sound of a gentle flute, the wind gradually calmed down, and the air was filled with waves of fragrance. A clear sound like flowing water rose with the wind. Then, all the horses and the men in black instantly
After falling down, only the leader in black and Dongfang Yi were fine.
"You'd better not move, because it only takes three steps and you'll be dead."
As soon as the leader in black heard this, he immediately looked up towards the place where the sound came from. He saw a man in green sitting on a thick branch. His face was like a crown of jade, his fingers were white, and he was holding a black hand.
Jade Flute, standing high up, with an innocent smile on her lips, jumped down from the tree, her green clothes flying in the wind, dust-free and clear.
Dongfang Yi looked at the black jade flute in the man's hand, and his expression immediately changed. The person in front of him turned out to be the descendant of the Ning clan that he had been looking for. They were good at holding poison in their mouths and using the sound of the black jade flute to kill the poison.
It spreads in the air and directly enters the brain from the human nasal cavity. The most important thing is that his father once told him that as long as he finds people from the Ning clan, he is very likely to find his sister, because they will definitely protect her.
.
The leader of the man in black looked very disdainful, and did not recognize Ning Feining's identity. Instead, he waved his sword and attacked Ning Feining, "Do you think I will be scared by you? Or should I just accept it?
Die!"
An innocent smile appeared on Ning Feining's lips, but she remained unmoved. She played with the black jade flute in her hand. She raised her eyes and looked at the sword that was hitting her. She stopped just when she was about to touch him.
The leader of the men in black suddenly fell to the ground, took out his long sword, and pulled off the black cloth on his face with his big hands. His handsome face suddenly turned black, and he looked bloodless, and he died instantly.
Do you think his poison is fake? This is the consequence of not listening to advice! Ning Feining raised her lips slightly, then slowly squatted down, reached out and touched the man's eyes, and he closed his eyes forever.
"Master!" At this time, several other men in black rushed over. They followed the traces left by the master and rushed all the way. In the end, they arrived too late. After thinking about it, everyone immediately knelt down and said in unison:
"My subordinate is incompetent, so please forgive me, master."
"Everyone, get up!" Dongfang Yi shook his head. Now he no longer wanted to take care of his injuries, because he was really surprised by Ning Feining's appearance. He raised a pair of red phoenix eyes, looked at Ning Feining and asked: "How could you
Come here?”
In fact, he had just sent Yun Jingchu to the secret passageway in the palace when he suddenly smelled the smell of wormwood, so he asked Yun Jingchu to return to the palace first, followed it all by himself, and finally discovered the unique text symbols of the previous dynasty.
, he followed the symbol and came here. Now that he saw the appearance of these men in black with the smell of mugwort, he was already very sure that the man in front of him was his other master, the former crown prince Dongfang Yi.
"Ning Feining meets Master." Ning Feining clasped her fists and said respectfully: "This subordinate followed all the way here because he found the mark left by Master."
"Then do you know where my sister is?" After Dongfang Yi confirmed his identity, he immediately asked what he was most concerned about, regardless of his injuries.
Ning Feining raised her head, her expression became a little solemn, and said seriously: "For so many years, my mother has been leading me to search for the whereabouts of Binglianyin and my little master. Binglianyin's subordinates have already found them, but they still haven't found them.
The young master was not found."
After hearing this, Dongfang Yi's eyes were filled with disappointment. He stood up slowly while covering his wounds, and said in a deep voice: "Then continue to search, and we must find her."
"Yes, Master." Ning Feining said with clasped fists, but a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. Now that he knew that Dongfang Yi was his master, he actually felt very embarrassed. On one side was his master, and on the other was his benefactor. Next
, which side is he going to be on?
Dongfang Yi retracted his thoughts. Although he was anxious to find his sister, he still tried his best to calm down, because now he had to deal with another matter calmly.
"Li Jin, immediately send someone to investigate everything about Concubine Hui, especially the people behind her! I will never let them go!"
As soon as these words came out, the leader of the man in black was shocked. They all saw how much the master liked Concubine Hui, but they never expected that this time, it was Concubine Hui who set up the master like this. Thinking of this, Li Jin immediately accepted the order.
He said: "Yes, my subordinates will go check it out immediately."
"Now in the palace, no matter who we have installed before, or whoever I have, I no longer know who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted, so I will not enter the palace for the time being. You will handle the affairs in the palace.
."
"I obey." Li Jin cupped his fists and accepted the order, then waved his hand and quickly led all his people away.
Just after the men in black left, Dongfang Yi covered his wounds with a pale face. The old wounds had not healed yet, and there were new ones. He couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Ning Feining immediately helped Dongfang Yi up, put him on a carriage, and then immediately drove the carriage away——
***
In the imperial study room, Yu Wenrui is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a coiled collar and right lapel, a jade-colored belt, and a nine-dragon warm jade pendant. He wears a black crown with twelve points on his head, sitting high on the dragon chair, his handsome face emerging.
With a hint of coldness, his slender fingers pinched the armrests of the dragon chair.
At the bottom stood Prime Minister Fang Shijing, and there was also a man in a fifth-grade official robe with an upright look. He did not look like an official from the capital. They both looked at the emperor who was sitting high up, and saw that the emperor's whole body was cold and his face looked cold.
In the gloom, he stared at the documents in the Long Case. These were the charges submitted by the fifth-rank official. They were all crimes committed by Concubine Xian's father, Bai Yukun, in the past few years.
"Who is here?" Yu Wenrui looked at the upright man, who seemed familiar, but couldn't remember him for a while.
"Go back to the emperor and serve as the fifth-rank magistrate of Jizhou."
"These are all the incriminating evidence you found?"
"Yes, I am investigating the evidence collected in the case of Guan Yin being robbed." Su Yuanzong said quickly: "Earlier, the emperor transported a large amount of silver to Jizhou for disaster relief, but Guan Yin was hijacked on the way. After investigation,
They captured the official who was delivering the goods and recovered the official banknote. However, a very strange thing happened. The official suddenly died in prison, and the official banknote was robbed again and disappeared...
So I began to investigate all the way to the capital. Finally, in order to find evidence, I pretended to be a businessman, contacted some people, and investigated the collusion between some of the imperial officials and wealthy businessmen, and accepted bribes from them. The person who controlled all this behind the scenes was
The richest man in the capital is Bai Yukun, the father of Concubine Xian."
As soon as he said this, Yu Wenrui knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair angrily, his expression getting darker and darker. He really didn't expect that Bai Yukun would do such a thing just because he was the head of the country. Thinking of this, his expression changed.
The dark, dark eyes were actually deep, with a hint of coldness.
"Prime Minister Fang, accept the order." Yu Wenrui looked at Fang Shijing and said, his voice sonorous and powerful.
Fang Shijing on the side had an imperceptible smile on his lips. He quickly walked to the center of the hall with a solemn expression and said respectfully, "I'm here..."
"The Bai Mansion was sealed immediately. No one from the nine clans of the Bai family was spared. They were all imprisoned and awaiting execution." This voice came like hell, with a bloodthirsty aura, and Fang Shijing immediately took the order.
Just as Fang Shijing accepted the order, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Eunuch Xu, is the emperor inside?"
