Guo Song lived in Guo Ziyi's guest room, a small private courtyard, which was extremely exquisitely decorated. The rockery in the courtyard was expensive, and a wintersweet tree peeked into the wall, which was quite poetic and picturesque. The room was even hung with various famous calligraphy and paintings. Yu Shinan
, Zhang Xu, Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing’s calligraphy, Yan Liben’s pictures of palace ladies, etc., each of them can be called a national treasure in later generations, but in Guo Ziyi’s house, they were hung so casually on the wall.
At this time, two maids came in to perform the Wanfu ceremony. Guo Song told them: "I'm a little tired today and want to go to bed early. You can bring me a basin of boiling water to boil my feet. Then you can go back to your room and don't disturb my rest."
"
The maid went out. After a while, two maids brought hot water. Guo Song waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Not long after, the lights in Guo Song's room went out, and Guo Song's low snoring could be heard. The two maids standing at the door whispered: "He has fallen asleep, let's go!"
The two maids left the courtyard and returned to their rooms.
Just as the maid left, Guo Song jumped up from the bed and quickly took off his outer robe. Underneath was a tight-fitting black warrior uniform. He carefully put on a mask as thin as cicada wings, and instantly became another person.
.
He took his sword from the table. This sword was not his black sword. The black sword was his identity. It was inconvenient to carry when he was invisible. This sword was slightly lighter and was one of Li Zhongchen's three swords.
Cutting iron is like mud, extremely sharp.
Guo Song locked the front door, opened the back window and jumped out. Outside was a high wall. He climbed up the high wall with the help of a big tree and soon disappeared into the darkness.
At the first watch, Guo Song sat on the roof of Qingxu Temple, patiently waiting for the guests to come. If Yuan Xiao gives in, then everything will be fine tonight. If he is not willing, then tonight the warriors of the Yuan family will definitely
will come.
There was a rustle in the trees, and four black figures appeared silently on the wall. Guo Song smiled on the roof and said: "The moonlight is as bright as the sun. How can we have wine and no friends? You might as well come up and have a drink together."
Several men in black looked at each other and immediately ran towards the roof along the high wall. No matter whether the other person was Guo Song or not, they had to deal with him first.
Guo Song was polite, but he didn't dare to make excuses at all. He saw that these four people were all masters, no less than the twin brothers who guarded Li Fuguo. He heard from his aunt that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, especially in the various families.
The Guanlong nobles all raised top warriors, and this should be the top warrior of the Yuan family.
Just as the first warrior in the west jumped onto the roof, Guo Song, who was lying on the eaves, suddenly appeared in front of him. A cold light pierced his chest. When an army fights, it is called an ambush, but when a master fights against him, it is called despicable and shameless.
The samurai was taken aback and tried to dodge the sword, but both sides were masters, and a slight negligence would be fatal. At this point, he could no longer dodge, "Poof!" The sword pierced the inner soft armor and penetrated the soft armor.
With his heart broken, the warrior screamed and died immediately.
After killing one person, Guo Song immediately pounced on the other person behind him. The four men in black wanted to attack Guo Song from the front and back, so they surrounded the walled house from the east and west sides. The warriors on the east were still several feet away from Guo Song, but Guo Song had already been killed.
A warrior in the west formed a one-on-one pattern with another warrior. This was Guo Song's experience accumulated from the last time he killed the Yu Chaoen warrior. He took advantage of the terrain to defeat each of them in the shortest time.
Guo Song jumped over the opponent's head. The warrior swung his sword and stabbed Guo Song's soles fast and hard. Guo Song's body was like flying and disappeared above his head in an instant. The warrior realized that something was wrong, turned around and struck a sword.
Stabbing behind him, he stabbed the air with his sword, but there was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. The moment Guo Song landed, his body arched backwards at the same time, and stabbed the sword into the warrior's body from bottom to top.
The warrior screamed, clutching his stomach and fell off the wall, but Guo Song stood on the wall, raised his sword and pointed at the two warriors in black who were rushing towards him, and said coldly: "You two are a step late, do you want to go up together or not?"
Come one by one, I will accompany you."
The two warriors in black were deeply shocked. They actually killed two top warriors in a single confrontation. This opponent was simply inhuman.
The two men in black did not hesitate, turned around and ran away, jumping out of the wall in an instant and disappearing into the darkness.
Guo Song did not expect them to be so decisive and leave when they saw the situation was not going well. Both of them knew the secret of longevity and tried not to fight with people who were stronger than themselves in martial arts.
Guo Song waited for a while, but there was no movement outside. Then he jumped to the ground. The warrior with the sword in his abdomen climbed a few feet and died.
Guo Song sneered twice, "You thought it was over? The show tonight hasn't even begun yet!"
He picked up the two corpses, left Qingxu Temple, and disappeared into the darkness.
At the third watch, groups of guards from the East Palace were still patrolling back and forth on the trail, very vigilant. When passing the Baiyu Bridge, suddenly a man in black with a sword sneaked out from the nearby woods. He was spotted by a guard. He shouted:
A cry, "Who is it!"
The man in black said nothing, and stabbed with his sword. The guard could not dodge, and was stabbed in the left shoulder by the sword. The guard stumbled and ran covering the wound, shouting: "There is an assassin!"
A group of East Palace guards rushed over and asked urgently: "Where is the assassin?"
The guard pointed back his hand and said, "In the woods, he just stabbed me."
The guards drew their swords and rushed towards the woods. They did see the black shadow and shouted together: "There is an assassin!"
At this time, a man in black flew out from the woods and rushed towards the guards. The guards were shocked and stabbed the man in black in the air with their swords.
The man in black made no sound, and was pierced by random swords. He was obviously killed on the spot.
When a dozen guards saw that they had killed a guard, they were overjoyed and rushed into the woods. While the two guards were searching, a scream suddenly came from behind them. A man in black stumbled out, and two guards came out at the same time.
The sword pierced the opponent's body.
Although it was a bit easy to get it, the two guards didn't think much about it. This was their credit, how could anyone doubt it.
At this time, more and more guards rushed to the grove and surrounded it. General Zhang Siliang, led by the right guard of the East Palace, also heard the news and rushed over on horseback, asking sternly: "How is the assassin's situation?"
The leader stepped forward and bowed: "General Qi, our brothers have discovered the assassins. There are about four or five of them. They are currently surrounded in the woods. Two of the assassins have been killed and one of our brothers has been injured."
Zhang Sixiang nodded and praised: "Well done, I will definitely report it to the prince and give him lots of rewards!"
"Thank you, General!"
Hundreds of guards began to search the grove. They searched three times, but no other assassins were found.
At this time, Prince Li Shi was also awakened, put on his clothes and hurried over. Hundreds of guards held torches, illuminating both sides of the White Jade Bridge like daylight. At the bridge head were the bodies of two men in black, both with ten wounds on their bodies.
Seven or eight swords, each guard adds one sword, so that they can get a share of the credit book.
Zhang Qingliang stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, it was the guards on the Baiyu Bridge side who discovered a black shadow hidden in the woods. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Regardless of their own lives, the guards bravely killed the enemy and killed two assassins. We
One of the guards was injured, the rest of the assassins have fled, and we are now searching closely."
Li Shi asked with a dark face: "How many assassins are there?"
"A total of about four to five people were discovered by the brothers."
"Do these assassins have any clues?" Li Shi asked again.
"have!"
Li Shi was startled. He just asked casually. In his mind, there should be no clues.
"Your Highness, please come and take a look."
Zhang Qingliang used his sword to open the trousers of a corpse, exposing his calves. Under the light of the fire, Li Shi saw a snake-shaped word "Yuan", and his face immediately became extremely ugly. This is the symbol of the Yuan family, and
It can be seen that it has been carved for many years and is not a temporary tattoo used to frame the tattoo.
"Do you have that body?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I also have tattoo experience from a humble position. I have been doing tattoos for at least three years."
Li Shi said after a while: "Find someone familiar with the Yuan family to identify the two corpses. In addition, we must block the news and prevent the identities of these two people from spreading."
"Follow the order!"
Li Shi snorted heavily and turned around to go back to his palace. He knew that some Guanlong nobles did not want to see him inherit the throne.
Early the next morning, Guo Song opened the door and stretched. Two maids came forward and saluted, "Master, are you resting well?"
"I slept well last night. Please prepare me some facial water and then prepare breakfast. I'm a little hungry."
"Sir, please wait a moment. You'll be here soon."
The two maids hurried away, and a smile appeared on Guo Song's lips. Who dares to say that the assassination incident in the East Palace last night was related to him? Guo Ziyi can prove that she lives in his mansion, and who dares to question Guo Ziyi's credibility?
