Jiaohua

In the Xu Dynasty, Li Qian's court officially announced the funeral and set up a funeral ceremony, and the news of Empress Nangong's funeral spread throughout Hejing in a storm.

The six volumes were in chaos, the gate of Zhongshu's introspection was trampled down, and all bureaus of the court were full of busy figures.

Horse-drawn carriages were parked in front of the gate of the palace, and all the wives wore plain clothes, cut off their hair and removed their ornaments, and entered the palace overnight to mourn.

The princes and officials gathered in the court to mourn, and the back house of their home has already started to prepare for the fast.

The imperial city was covered with white silk, and all the palace lanterns were replaced with Changming festival lanterns. The white and black flags were huge and ethereal, flying wildly in the night, like corpses and night charms one after another.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie landed lightly in this cold and quiet dark light. When getting up, Xia Zhaoyi subconsciously raised his hand and pressed lightly on his back.

She didn't know where the back injury came from, but she was sure that it hurt the bones. Although it was not serious, it was obvious from this trip and she couldn't move much.

Seeing her movements, Shen Lie was worried, but in a blink of an eye, she had bent her back, straightened the hat on her head, turned around with her hands up, looked at Shen Lie contemptuously, and smiled indifferently: " Let's go to Wende Palace to see first, Guard Shen is..."

Shen Lie smiled lightly, raised his hands and cupped his fists: "The humble job is with Eunuch Xia."

It's not that military uniforms can complement a man's demeanor, but that the more handsome and upright a man is, the more heroic the military uniform will be.

With his smile, the wind and the moon are bright and unparalleled, and Xia Zhaoyi feels that even if he is a real father-in-law, he has to transcend his age and physiology to move his heart.

Xia Zhaoyi pursed the smile on his lips, turned around and said, "Then, let's go."

The Wende Palace is heavily guarded, and the concubines and concubines of the harem gather here, and the wailing of countless women can be heard from afar, crying in memory of the deceased.

Although Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie had disguised themselves, it was still inconvenient to walk on the avenue. The two wandered around the Wende Palace and found that it was impossible to enter without disturbing others, so they gave up.

Xia Zhaoyi changed his way to Zhaixing Tower, trying to choose a place with as few people as possible, but there is a problem with places with few people, that is, there is a lot of water in low-lying places.

Fortunately, the two of them are top-notch, and they don't touch their bodies, but the other uninvited guests are not so "silent".

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie had just walked around a palace that was empty, when they heard the sound of water coming from the front.

There were at least three people tiptoeing through the stagnant water, their movements were light and small, but the sound of water was the sound of water, and it was clearly transmitted.

Both Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie are extremely sensitive people, after exchanging a glance with each other, they set off together.

There are four people in total, with fast speed and clear goal, they are also the star-seeking building.

The four of them were all wearing nocturnal clothes. If it weren't for the sound of water just now, with their skills and their outfits that completely blended into the darkness, Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie might not be able to spot them.

Passing through the darkness, the Zhaixing Building was brightly lit.

White satin hangs all over the sky, and there are not many guards in front of the door. They all wear white scarves and white flowers, and the spears in their hands are all hung with white silk ribbons.

The four men in black hid in a corner and did not come out for a long time.

Both Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie are high-level hunters, they are more calm than anyone else, and they also lurk deep.

A full half an hour passed, except for a few father-in-laws who came and went, went and returned, and saw no one else entering the Zhaxing Tower again.

A man in black said in a very soft voice: "It looks exactly the same as the Zhaixing Building in Yong'an Tiansheng Palace."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, this accent is Yong'an's accent.

The voice of the other man in black was also very soft: "Then there must be a search room inside."

This person's accent made Xia Zhaoyi subconsciously look at Shen Lie, just as Shen Lie was also looking at her in the dark.

This is, Zhuzhou accent.

When mentioning Zhuzhou, one had to think of Feng Wensheng who wrote to the old man and said bad things about her.

After saying these two sentences, the group of men in black fell silent and did not communicate any more.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the light on the top floor of the Zhaixing Building went out, and the four finally came out of the darkness.

They moved quickly, quickly assassinated the guards at the west gate, and walked in quickly.

Xia Zhaoyi habitually felt his pulse when he passed by, and the four guards died completely.

She and Shen Lie roughly inspected the wounds at the place of death, and confirmed that these were all master assassins based on the sharpness of the weapons and the killing methods.

People from the Taishi Bureau and Qin Tianjian filled the main hall of the Zhaixing Building, and the four men in black walked quickly along the corridor to the back.

The design of the corridors on both sides of the Zhaixing Building has walls on one side and tall bookcases on the other. The bookcases are filled to the brim with stacks of ancient books.

The four men in black quickly went upstairs, and there was a figure waiting on it early on. Seeing them, the man immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "You guys are here!"

While talking, he led the way for the four men in black, and pushed open the first door of the scripture room on the right side of the corridor on the second floor.

It is said that it is a scripture room, but the collection of books in the book hall is actually not as large as the treasure.

However, these hidden treasures are only a quarter of the Zhaixing Building in Tiansheng Palace.

When they left Beijing, they were too hasty to take them with them in time. After the palace was looted, the rest became Song Zhiyi's treasure.

No one knows how many were robbed, and how many were taken away by Song Zhiyi. Thinking about those treasures, it is still a pain in the hearts of the Ministry of Rites, Taishi Bureau and Qin Tianjian.

There were two other people in the scripture room to respond. After five people entered, these two people came out to watch at the door.

Only two lamps were lit in the big book hall, and the candles flickered on and off. The four men in black started to rummage quickly.

A small official came down from the Xunji Hall on the third floor with his robe in his hand, and hurried over here.

The two responders who were watching the wind at the door suddenly became serious and stared at him without blinking.

The little official gave them a strange look, and went to push the door open.

The two receptionists stopped him: "I haven't seen you before, it's very strange, who are you?"

When the five people in the hall heard the sound, they immediately became alert, and one of them drew out his dagger and approached the door.

"I'm here to sample something," said the clerk, taking out a small wooden plaque from his sleeve, frowning, "You really don't know me?"

A receptionist received the small wooden sign, glanced at the front and back, and handed it back to him: "Go in."

The people inside the door are ready to go.

The door of the scripture room was pushed open by the little official, and he stepped in. At this moment, two footsteps sounded on the stairs.

The man in black who was about to strike immediately put away his dagger and hid behind him, while the two responders turned their heads to look at it at the same time.

It was a father-in-law and a guard who came up.

The father-in-law had impatience written on his face, and he muttered as he walked, showing that he was very impatient.

The guards were very tall, with their heads lowered, and they looked like they were being scolded.

Due to the angle, I couldn't see the guard's face clearly, but I felt that his outline was deep and sharp, and the eyes of the two responders couldn't help but be attracted by him.

The father-in-law walked a little faster, paused when he passed the scripture room, turned his head to look at the little official, and shouted: "It's you, come here!"

The little official said "ah?" and walked away.

"What are you?" the father-in-law shouted dissatisfiedly, "Follow me to get things, I don't need a job, hurry up!"

After speaking, he left angrily.
