The harsh sound of metal collision completely drowned out the sound of rain.
Facing a few unknown Japanese warriors, Xue Lengxiang did not have to be afraid of how sharp the swords in their hands were.
When facing a head-on attack, there is no need for the blessing of infuriating energy. The strength of the sword itself alone makes it possible to collide with the katana.
When the two warriors behind him saw this, they also took action at the same time, forming a siege on Xue Lengxiang in the narrow alley.
Xue Lengxiang was at the center of the battle, and she didn't know whether she could handle the continuous attacks from the three warriors.
The queen in the distance could not see anything, she could only see the flickering firelight in the darkness.
Although these three warriors have no names, the fact that they can appear in the palace at this moment is enough to illustrate their strength.
In addition, Xue Lengxiang did not dare to use his true energy too much at this time, so his strength would inevitably be greatly reduced.
In such a situation, even Chunjiao was worried.
"Damn it... I am so careless! I didn't expect that these audacious Japanese people would dare to sneak into the palace secretly, and even do something in the palace in a big name! What do they want to do? Are they trying to assassinate me?"
Chunjiao said in a deep voice: "Empress, why don't you leave by another way. The target of these people should not be your empress, but me..."
"you?"
"Yes, because now I am the only one who knows where the real princess is. They have obviously lost their patience and will do anything to find the real princess."
"I have heard that the princess who is currently on the Japanese mission is fake, but this news has never been confirmed. At the same time, I also think it is too outrageous, so I don't believe it. I didn't expect that this news is actually true? Is all this true?
Was it made by Xia Shang?"
Chunjiao smiled bitterly, admitting the queen's statement.
"What does that person want to do? Why did he hide the Japanese princess?"
"My lord said that the real princess would be in danger in the mission. But now that I see it, my lord may not want the real princess to marry the prince..."
Hearing this, the queen's face turned ugly. She didn't say anything, but she scolded Xia Shang from beginning to end in her heart.
But after thinking about it, the queen sighed: "Hey, in fact, even if there is no matter about the princess, the Japanese people will still try their best to enter the palace. Because
Because the palace has what they want."
"The general outline of the Book of Heaven?" Chunjiao asked back.
The queen was a little surprised: "Do you know the purpose of the Japanese people?"
"My lord told me."
"How did he know?"
"It should be a guess..."
"That man's mind is really smart. I spent a lot of effort to find out the real intention of the Japanese people. I didn't expect that man to guess it just by guessing. But Xia Shang definitely couldn't guess that this marriage
The Japanese people have made two preparations."
"Be prepared?"
"On the one hand, the secret mission of the Japanese mission is to sneak into the palace and steal the general outline of the Heavenly Book. On the other hand, if the attempt to steal the general outline of the Heavenly Book fails, the Japanese princess will take over the task. When the prince succeeds to the throne in a few years, she will be able to enter the palace as a matter of course.
There will be enough time to search for the general outline of the Heavenly Book in the palace."
Chunjiao was a little surprised and sighed: "I see... Maybe the people of Dahua can't understand why the Donghuang of Japan suddenly sent his daughter to Dahua? In fact, the people of Japan don't have to rush to show goodwill to us.
I didn’t expect that everything revolves around the General Outline of the Heavenly Book. Why did the Queen tell me so confidently that the General Outline of the Heavenly Book is such an important thing?”
"This is not really a secret..." The queen frowned, looking at the looming firelight in the darkness ahead, "Everyone in the world covets the outline of the Heavenly Book and wants to be the only one in the world... so there are countless people who want to sneak into the palace to explore the Heavenly Book.
But I am the only one who knows the general outline of the book in this world. The so-called general outline of the Heavenly Book only exists in legends. I have lived in the palace for seven years. Since I became the queen, I can go to all places in the palace. But I have never
What kind of outline of the heavenly book have you seen?"
"Then...then just now you told me, the Japanese people know that the general outline of the Book of Heaven is in the Black Tower..."
"That was just a false message!" The queen lowered her voice and turned to look at Hou Jun. "Originally, she deliberately told that person and spread the news through his mouth. It attracted some masters to sneak into the black tower.
Maybe someone can kill him to avoid worries. Who knows that the news was overheard by the Japanese, but it saves a lot of trouble. If the Japanese can kill the people in the black tower, that would be the best. If the Japanese fail,
Being killed by that person can be regarded as a good thing that is beneficial to Dahua. The general outline of the heavenly book... is completely false."
Chunjiao was silent, and looked at the queen with a hint of fear.
Not only is this woman young and without any support, but she has been able to reach her current position step by step, and she can also become a winner in such a complicated situation in the capital. Her determination and character are rare in the world.
The queen looked at Chunjiao and frowned again: "Now it's not a question of who is leaving, but whether that girl is their opponent? The master cannot use his true energy, and his combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced."
"I have confidence in her. Her strength does not lie in her grandmaster's energy, but in the sword in her hand. Now that she doesn't attack with all her strength, she must have her own considerations."
As Xia Shang's best confidant, Chunjiao naturally knew Xia Shang's only disciple very well.
Just as Chunjiao said, even if Xue Lengxiang cannot unleash her true energy at full strength, she can still handle it with ease when surrounded by three Japanese warriors.
She didn't explode immediately just because she had other plans in mind.
The current situation is three against one. There are four people on the other side, and the Dahua warrior has not yet made a move.
The other party revealed the scruples in the palace with one word. He knew that the master could not use Qi at will. Either he had received the news in advance, or he was a master himself and could feel the pressure coming from the direction of the black tower.
In comparison, the latter outcome is obviously more likely. Compared with dealing with the three Japanese warriors, it is obviously more important to seize the opportunity to severely injure the grandmaster.
This person has been reluctant to take action, and his target is not Xue Lengxiang, but Chunjiao behind Xue Lengxiang. He is staring like this to prevent Chunjiao from leaving.
After a fight, Xue Lengxiang has basically determined his judgment.
Since the other party refused to take action, she forced him not to sit idly by.
Thinking about it, the sword in Xue Lengxiang's hand suddenly changed its trajectory and no longer played boring games with the Japanese warrior in front of him.
Although she didn't dare to use her true energy, her real killing move was the swordsmanship passed down from the sword master.
There is no competition of infuriating energy. In terms of moves alone, not only does this not weaken Xue Lengxiang, but it actually makes her stronger!
Although the sword skills of the Japanese warriors are fast, the Zhui Feng Zhu Yue sword is even faster.
In the blink of an eye, a scream came from the darkness, and an arm flew out of the battle and fell in front of the queen ten meters away.
