The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 16 Assassin, crisis!
The funeral procession went out of the city in a hurry. The rule of the day was that the funeral should not be fussy, but mourning. It is enough for others to pay respects, and only family members are required to accompany the funeral.

So the regent went to the funeral, and no one else came to see him off.

Xiao Yu held the spirit tablet in front of him, looked at the gloomy sky, and silently hoped that the burial could be done faster, otherwise he might have to go back with heavy snow.

After leaving the city, the team went straight to the cemetery in the west of the city. There was a burial place prepared by the founding emperor for the meritorious ministers. Those who could be buried here were all those who made great contributions to the country. Therefore, there is a cemetery in this cemetery. Very nice name - Heroes' Garden.

The Garden of Heroes is very well-built. It looks like nothing from the outside, but when you go down to the underground palace, the inside is extremely spacious. There is one tomb for each person. go down.

After Xiao Yu got down from the underground palace, he found that something was wrong. Usually, there were guards here, and there was a group of people. It was impossible to be so quiet, but since they came down, Xiao Yu didn't hear a human voice, so Xiao Yu stopped, "Wait a minute. "

The master of ceremonies was directing at the front, and when he heard Xiao Yu say this, he frowned and looked over, "My lord, this is not a place to talk, be careful not to disturb—"

"To shut up."

Xiao Yu glanced at him coldly, then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movement around him.

The master of ceremonies was said something awkward, and the guards who carried the coffin looked at each other, not knowing why.

Xiao Yu asked softly: "Have you heard the movement of the living people?"

This sentence coupled with the dark underground palace immediately frightened the eight people carrying the coffin and the master of ceremonies to freeze in place.

As soon as the cold wind passed, the hairs on several people's bodies stood on end.

The master of ceremonies leaned closer to the guards, rubbed his arms, and asked tremblingly, "My lord, what are you talking about? Are you deliberately trying not to let us stop by saying such things in this place?"

The guards have been trained, and their psychological quality is much stronger than that of the master of ceremonies. Although their backs are cold, they can still think calmly at this time.

One person silently distinguished for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed and he looked at Xiao Yu, "My lord, there is no human breath here!"

"How come? Isn't there a 12-person tomb guard team in this underground palace? Where are the people?"

"Don't you all sneak out to be lazy?"

The guards guessed quietly, but Xiao Yu didn't think so, she had a hunch that something was wrong.

"Carry the coffin in first, put it away and leave immediately!"

She walked in front with the spirit card, and the guards carried the coffin to follow. When Xiao Yu pressed the switch, the door of the tomb room slowly rose. Come on, light three sticks of incense and pray three times to complete the gift."

Xiao Yu looked at the empty tomb, and her heart tightened suddenly. She didn't go in immediately, but looked at the master of ceremonies, and put the spirit card into his hand, "Go."

The master of ceremonies was taken aback, and pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me? I'm not the prince's son, this is against the rules!"

Xiao Yu pushed him: "Stop talking nonsense, go in!"

The master of ceremonies was pushed staggeringly, he went in holding the spirit card, turned around and was about to complain, when the guards came in carrying the coffin, he had to give way, just like that, when he raised his head, he suddenly saw a black shadow outside the door Flashing past, the door of the tomb room rumbled down from above.

"Sir!"

The master of ceremonies yelled, and the ending sound split directly, faintly calling out the aura of an eunuch!
The rumbling sound stopped abruptly, and the master of ceremonies was startled, is it so useful?
Immediately afterwards, the door of the tomb paused and then began to open upwards. Xiao Yu's figure slowly appeared, "Where is the soul calling? If I hadn't been outside, we would all be buried inside now."

Only then did the master of ceremonies understand why Xiao Yu didn't go in. He looked at Xiao Yu gratefully, and ran away: "Thank you, my son! It was the grass-roots who misunderstood! Thanks to your cleverness!"

As soon as he came out, he saw a long sword stabbing horizontally, Xiao Yufei kicked the man's wrist, and the master of ceremonies rolled on the ground in a hurry: "Oh, I can't help you! You gangsters!"

After the guards rushed out, they fought directly with the sneak attacker. Xiao Yu sideways avoided the attack of one person and leaned against the wall to observe. Just now she was standing outside the tomb, and a cold wind flashed behind her. Pressed the mechanism of the tomb, intending to seal the guards inside, and then kill her.

It's a pity that they didn't know Xiao Yu's details, and they didn't expect that she still had two tricks, and they lost the opportunity if they failed to hit one blow.

"Who sent you here?"

A man in black rushed towards Xiao Yu, his speed was faster and his moves were more fierce, every move was directed at Xiao Yu's vital points.

Xiao Yu didn't have a weapon in her hand, and although the guards brought swords, they didn't have any extra for her.

A cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the thin sword blade was close at hand. Xiao Yu suddenly lowered his waist, propped his hands back on the ground, and suddenly raised his leg to kick the assassin's lower third.

The assassin was startled, and hurriedly drew back.

Xiao Yu pushed her hand hard, relying on the strength of her waist and abdomen to bounce up, she turned her head sideways, stretched out her hand to hold the candlestick on the wall, firmly grasped the base underneath, and pulled it out fiercely. The candlestick has a unique shape, protruding from the bottom One piece just happened to land on her palm, drawing a bloodstain.

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, and when the assassin came back to stab her, he removed the candle and threw it on the man. The assassin hid very quickly, but was still burned to the hem of his clothes by the flames. He raised the sword and cut it off. A large area was exposed, revealing a tattoo on the waist and abdomen.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu squinted his eyes, vaguely feeling that the pattern looked like a flower, but he was not sure.

"Don't love to fight, protect the prince!"

The person who spoke was the first person who noticed something was wrong after listening to Xiao Yu's words. Xiao Yu glanced at him.

The guards fought and surrounded Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu said sharply: "These people have tattoos on their waists and abdomens, they are most likely from some killer organization, be careful they have other tricks!"

The killer's move is a killer move, in addition to the sword, there may be poison.

"Yes!"

The guards responded and blocked the assassin's sword. It was a coincidence that there were eight guards and eight assassins. On the premise that Xiao Yu knew some kung fu, eight was not too small.

Xiao Yu hid aside, staring around nervously.

"Go out, let's go out."

"Well, my son, be careful."

The guards formed a circle to protect Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu held the candlestick in his hand and dared not let go for a moment.

Seeing that the exit of the underground palace was behind him, Xiao Yu turned around, and in an instant a cloud of powder spilled down, Xiao Yu suddenly covered his mouth and nose, turned his face and closed his eyes, and shouted: "Hold your breath!"

A strange fragrance suddenly permeated the air, and the guards were slow to react, and suddenly felt a blur in front of them.
