The master's true energy was particularly prominent in the dark night. The breath coming from the direction of the alley was fleeting, but fell on Jian Ruo's perception in the building.
Seeing the change in the master's expression, the masked woman turned her head and frowned, asking softly: "What's wrong?"
"It seems that several waves of Grandmaster Qi appeared at the same time."
"Several strands of Grandmaster's Qi? How is that possible?"
Jian Ruo's expression was very serious. Without saying anything, he jumped out of the window and went directly to the roof.
The courtyard of the Hanlin Academy is not far from a remote alley, and with Jian Ruo's skill, it only takes a moment.
But when Jian Ruo just arrived at the place where the master's true energy was emitted, two sword lights appeared at the same time.
Jian Ruo was shocked. The speed of the two sword lights was so fast that he could not even see the person who was using the sword. He immediately shot out with both swords without any reservation, shifting left and right to block the sudden attack.
But she still flew back more than ten meters under such a flanking attack.
She only caught a glimpse of the situation in the alley. She could vaguely see the familiar ghost-faced man kneeling on the ground. A huge black sword slashed from his shoulder to the inside of his body. He was motionless in the center of the alley.
, as if it were a stone sculpture.
Jian Ruo was so shocked that she no longer dared to go towards the alley. She turned around and quickly returned to the attic where the masked woman was.
The masked woman saw Jian Ruo leaving and then coming back. It only took more than ten seconds, but the other person was already sweating profusely.
"what happened?"
Jian Ruo didn't have time to say anything more. He grabbed the masked woman and said only one word: "Escape!"
After saying that, he took Jian Ruo and disappeared into the attic.
At this time, Xia Shang's shout came from down the alley: "No need to chase."
Chunjiao and Xue Lengxiang returned to the alley.
At this moment, the alleys have returned to calm, and the area near the Hanlin Academy has gradually returned to calm.
The egg-yolk-like sun showed half of its face at the end of the sky, shyly spreading its warmth.
But such tenderness obviously cannot dispel the haze and bloodshed left by last night. Those pairs of eyes looking at everything left in the capital at night cannot describe what kind of mood they feel at this moment.
This night was an unprecedented night. No one dared to create such chaos in Kyoto.
I'm afraid those editors don't know how to record the story of this night.
.
But things have happened, and everyone can only accept it silently.
The ghost-faced man who fell in the alley did not make any move when he died. No one will ever know whether he gave up resistance or was simply unable to resist.
After everyone around him receded, when other people saw this corpse, they would probably only think that the ghost face he was wearing was a little strange, and nothing else was special.
Those who knew the true identity of the Ghost-Faced Man immediately returned to their masters when they saw the Ghost-Faced Man's body and told them everything they saw.
"There was no fierce fight, no attention was drawn, and in such a short period of time, a grandmaster just disappeared? Isn't his death too simple?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Yu was adjusting his attire for today's court meeting. He couldn't help but mutter to himself when he heard the news.
The concubine next to the Prime Minister was adjusting the Prime Minister's clothes and whispered: "I don't understand what it means to be a master or not, but as long as a person doesn't have two arms and two legs, there will always be times when he slips and falls into the water. Grandmaster
No matter how powerful it is, is it more powerful than a sword? If you accidentally get pierced through the heart with a sword or beheaded by a sword, won't you be gone immediately?"
Fu Yu ignored it, with a smile on his face: "Last night there were big events everywhere in Kyoto, and every family suffered a lot. Fortunately, the fire didn't burn my head."
Just as he was talking, a servant ran out and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good!"
"What's all the fuss about?"
"Miss...Miss, she is missing."
"What?"
The servant was trembling as he spoke: "Last night, last night, the lady slept in the room, but today...she disappeared. Only a note was found in the room."
"show me."
The servant handed over a note with only one sentence on it: "Miss Fu, please pay a visit to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Fu Yu read the note, his eyes were red, and he didn't want to tidy up his clothes anymore. He crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the ground, cursing: "What on earth do these lunatics want to do?!"
Saying that, he walked out the door.
The concubine chased after me, shouting that she was not dressed yet or something.
Fu Yu ignored him and rushed to the door. He looked at the sky and felt that there was still time: "Get in a sedan chair and go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
At this time, Chen Youzhi, the real adviser beside Fu Yu, rushed over and whispered: "Sir, wait a moment."
"Qianqian is in the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! How can I slow down?"
"From what I can see, it's not an important matter for the young lady to be in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"What did you say?!" Fu Yu was furious.
"Have you forgotten, the Prime Minister? The lord of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has some unclear relationship with the young lady. Moreover, our Prime Minister's Office is also kind to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Judging from the lord's usual behavior, he is a
As a passionate person, if he wants to hurt the young lady, he will definitely not do it."
"Just because the person named Xia can't do it doesn't mean that the people under him can't do it. Don't look at what crazy things the Metropolitan Procuratorate did last night. Is there anything else they can't do? Besides, Xia is the one who can't do it.
It’s still unclear whether I’m in the capital, how can I ensure that people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate won’t use Qianqian to blackmail me?”
"That gentleman must be in the capital now."
"Why are you so sure!"
"Last night was an unprecedented massacre. Countless people died and countless people were arrested. And no matter whose people they were, they would not let go once they got the handle. With this kind of behavior, except for that gentleman, everyone in the capital
Who else among us dares to make such nonsense?"
Fu Yu pondered for a moment: "That being said, there are always exceptions in the world, and I can't take risks with Qianqian."
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you can be decisive in other matters, why are you so confused when it involves the young lady?"
"My prime minister's house only has one daughter like this!"
"The other party has seized on the weakness of the Prime Minister, so he attacked the young lady. Just imagine, today the young lady was arrested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Prime Minister went directly to the door to beg for it and accepted all their threats. That is
By replacing the young lady in this way, everyone in the world will know that the Prime Minister will do anything for his daughter. It is good that the young lady was taken away by the Metropolitan Procuratorate today. If it were not the Metropolitan Procuratorate who took the young lady away in the future, the Prime Minister would be
How to do?"
"...What do you think we should do?"
"This is the chance for the Prime Minister to show everyone in the world that the Prime Minister will not change his decision because of the young lady, and will not accept this as a threat. In the future, no one will do it again
You are using a young lady to threaten the Prime Minister. Do whatever the Prime Minister should do today, and don’t keep an eye on the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so as not to add any unnecessary fuss."
