Ji Chengyun was stunned for just a moment, but the man in gray robes had already killed three men in black! This man in gray robes was simply a god of death. He struck very quickly, and the three men in black at the front even defended themselves.
He was killed with one punch before he even had a chance!
The four men in black at the back paused in their steps. The leader in black looked at the man in gray robe and suddenly shouted: "It's a mountain hammer, I recognize this boxing technique!"
He waved his hand fiercely and said, "Let's go!"
While this man was speaking, he had already retreated quickly towards the back. The other men in black obviously knew what the three words of Mountain Hammer meant, and they quickly retreated without any intention of resisting.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Tiandou, the commander of the Ouchi bodyguards during Liu Ye's reign. This man's boxing skills were extremely powerful, and he could crack stone monuments with one punch! Zhang Tiandou became the Ouchi bodyguard in his thirties.
Commander, it has been twenty years now. At first, he won Liu Ye's trust and was loyal to Liu Ye. After Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, he went out of his way to comfort this hero who had guarded the palace for twenty years.
Zhang Tiandou sneered and said, "Now that you have recognized me, can you still leave?"
This sentence was like the sentence of death. One of the men in black who was running in front was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell to the ground. These four men in black were frightened by the words "mountain hammer".
His liver and gallbladder were gone, and he was only focused on running for his life. Zhang Tiandou snorted coldly, stretched out his figure, and caught up with the man in black at the back with only one ups and downs. He punched down from top to bottom, and it actually brought a dull thunder.
Such a sound!
Seeing that the man in black could not escape, he gritted his teeth and raised his arms to face him. With a click, Zhang Tiandou smashed both of the man in black's arms with one punch. The power of his fist did not diminish at all, and he
It hit the man in black hard on the head! With a pop, the head of the man in black shattered like a smashed watermelon!
Ji Chengyun was hiding in the dark, secretly appreciating Zhang Tiandou's cultivation. He saw three of the four men in black being chased and killed by Zhang Tiandou, and only the last one was still running for his life, but it seemed that he could not run far or escape death.
Ji Chengyun remembered Liu Ling's instructions and immediately rushed over from the big tree.
Stopping in front of Zhang Tiandou, Ji Chengyun deliberately said coldly to the man in black: "Get out of here, you loser!"
The man originally thought he was certain to die, but it was a blessing to be rescued at this moment. He didn't have time to think about it, so he decided that it was the helper sent by his master, turned around and ran away.
Zhang Tiandou glanced at Ji Chengyun coldly and said, "Can you stop me?"
Ji Chengyun asked in a hoarse voice: "Can you make it?"
Zhang Tiandou still had a mission, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he didn't say much. He punched Ji Chengyun with a roar of thunder. Ji Chengyun snorted coldly, and then moved to catch it. The two people were similar in cultivation.
Pretty much, they were evenly matched in the alley.
At this time, the guards from Liu Ling's palace also heard the sound and rushed over. Zhang Tiandou couldn't take down the man in black with more than ten moves. When he turned around, he saw many guards from the palace coming to kill him. He could only sigh and attack in succession.
He retreated after a few moves. Ji Chengyun had already accomplished what he wanted to do, so naturally he wouldn't stop him.
Huasanlang and his guards rushed towards Ji Chengyun. When they were far away, Huasanlang pointed at Ji Chengyun with his sword and roared: "If you dare to make trouble in Prince Zhong's palace, I will crush him!"
Hanasaburo was very angry at this time. The thieves had touched the palace wall and he didn't even notice it. What made him even more angry was that the imperial guards sent by the palace seemed to have collectively gone blind tonight.
It was as if he was deaf, and he didn't notice it at all.
How could Hanasaburo know that Zhang Tiandou was coming to kill someone? Those Ouchi guards had received the news before dinner. Who would be so stupid as to come out and seek death?
At this time, the five Ouchi guards who were on duty tonight also saw something was wrong. How could there be a melee between three parties? These five people did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they rushed out along with Hanasaburo.
Ji Chengyun chuckled lightly, stretched out his sleeves and jumped onto the roof, disappearing after a few ups and downs.
Hanasaburo didn't have Qinggong like Ji Chengyun, so he could only watch the person escape. He threw the steel knife in his hand to the ground, and a series of sparks were thrown.
"F-fuck-you-mom!"
He turned around suddenly and glanced coldly at the faces of the five Ouchi guards. His stern eyes shocked the Ouchi guards and they did not dare to look at Hanasaburo anymore.
Hanasaburo roared: "Come here! Tie up these bastards who are colluding with thieves!"
He suspected that these five imperial guards were related to the killers who were preparing to sneak into the palace. When it came to Liu Ling's safety, he couldn't be careless, and how could he not be angry?
Those few Ouchi guards had something up their sleeves. Although their martial arts were far better than ordinary soldiers, no one resisted, and they were all tied up by the tiger and wolf-like soldiers who rushed forward.
Hanasaburo led his people back to the palace, called Zhao Er, and ordered all the guards in the palace to get up and strengthen their vigilance. For a time, the entire Prince Zhong's palace was dazzling with fire and murderous intent.
Liu Ling was wearing a robe, sitting on the carved wooden chair in the study and said to Hanasaburo: "Sanlang, don't worry too much, they are just a few thieves, don't take it to heart, just ask the guards in the house to be more careful in the future.
Already."
Hanasaburo said: "Your Majesty, these people who came in tonight are definitely not good people. It is better to mobilize elite soldiers from the Gyeonggi Camp to guard the palace. Those imperial guards can no longer be used!"
Liu Ling waved his hand and said: "The capital camp is guarding the capital, and it is not Liu Ling's personal army. Your Majesty has already sent 200 soldiers, so there is no need to mention this matter again."
He stood up and said, "Let the guards on the corridor go as well. They haven't done anything wrong."
Hanasaburo wanted to speak, but Liu Ling waved his hand and said: "It will be time to go to court in a while. I will sleep for a while. Don't forget to wake me up when the time comes. Come on down."
Hanasaburo couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only retreat in depression. Liu Ling looked at the backs of Hanasaburo and Zhao Er, and felt a little warm in his heart. These two young men were both good people who were loyal to him.
After leaving the room, Hanasaburo whispered to Zhao Er: "Zhao Er, I always feel that there is something fishy about tonight!"
Zhao Er frowned and said as he walked: "According to you, the people who came tonight are not the same group?"
Hanasaburo nodded and said: "They killed each other and died all over the place. How could they be in the same group!"
Zhao Er looked back at Liu Ling's study and saw that the lights dimmed again. He was thinking deeply as he walked, and happened to reach the door of the guest room where Wang Xiaoniu was. Because he didn't know what happened, Li Dongchang also stood in his clothes.
Looking around at the door, Zhao Er said to Li Dongchang: "Don't be afraid, Dr. Li. A few thieves sneaked into the house to steal things. They have been caught and will be sent to Taiyuan Mansion early tomorrow morning."
Li Dongchang sighed and thought to himself that the prince's residence was not peaceful, what kind of world was it.
Seeing Li Dongchang enter the room, Zhao Er whispered to Hua Sanlang in a low voice: "Sanlang, do you think the people who came tonight are not here for the prince?"
Hanasaburo was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Er staring at the guest room where Wang Xiaoniu was, his heart suddenly became brighter, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment arose.
He grabbed Zhao Er's arm and said, "You mean...someone wants to kill people and silence them?"
Zhao Er nodded and sighed: "What I don't understand is, who is here to kill people, but who is here to save them?"
The two people were discussing and patrolling, but could no longer find any clues. At this moment, in a house less than a kilometer away from Prince Zhong's palace, the only remaining one of the seven men in black knelt down.
On the ground, his body was still shaking.
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat sat on a chair, his face as sinking as water.
"Are you really sure? The person who took action was Zhang Tiandou?"
The middle-aged man asked.
The body of the man in black couldn't stop shaking. He lay on the ground, his whole body shaking. He watched helplessly as his six companions were killed like melons and vegetables. The bloody
The scene was still vivid in his mind, how could he not be afraid?
"Back...back...back to your lord, this subordinate...this subordinate definitely recognizes him. That person uses the skill of a mountain hammer. He must...must be Zhang Tiandou without a doubt!"
An imperceptible cold light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the cold light disappeared in a flash. He stood up, patted the man in black on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, as long as you come back alive."
He took out a road guide from his sleeve and handed it to the man in black and said: "Let's put this aside for now. Take this road guide. There is some money on the table. Go out of the city at dawn and come back after a while.
!”
The man in black kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
He took the guide, glanced at the silver on the table, and finally did not dare to take it. He kowtowed again and then stood up and walked outside. The man in black walked to the door, and suddenly a bright sword flashed!
The sword light was like lightning, illuminating the face of the man in black in an instant!
There was a soft pop sound. When the man in black looked down, he found that there was a thin red line on his neck. His eyes widened instantly, and an incredible look filled his face. Phew, a blood arrow.
It shot out from his neck! The man in black didn't even shout, and fell to the ground with a plop.
The middle-aged man standing in the room looked at him coldly, touched the silver on the table, picked up a piece of silver, put it under his nose and sniffed it vigorously. He said to himself: "Because you didn't take any silver."
For my sake, I’ll leave you a complete body.”
At this time, a person flashed out from behind the door. This person appeared suddenly, as if separated from the night. He held a long knife in his hand without a scabbard.
The middle-aged man glanced at the swordsman, put down the silver, and looked calm. However, at this moment, his heart was filled with turmoil. Did the Emperor, Prince Zhong, really want to kill me?
Inside the palace, in the Chengxian Hall.
Emperor Xiao Liu Zhuo slammed a memorial in his hand to the ground, stood up suddenly and roared: "How brave!"
Zhang Tiandou knelt in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Emperor Xiao's face turned pale with anger, and his hands in the sleeves of his robe were trembling.
"I originally wanted to protect you, but now it seems I was wrong!"
He flicked his robe sleeves and said, "Go and call Lang Qing, it's time for his Qilin Guards to go out and see the blood!"
Zhang Tiandou frowned, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He stood up, bowed and exited the Chengxian Hall. Emperor Xiao looked at Zhang Tiandou's somewhat old figure, and suddenly his heart calmed down.
"Come back, let's leave this matter alone for now."
In Prince Zhong's Mansion, Liu Ling was lying on the bed in the study, looking at the roof with tangled eyebrows.
He said in his heart: "Second brother, I am using your power to suppress and stimulate those people, in order to eradicate this cancer as soon as possible. And you, my second brother, what do you think?
