Eunuch Emperor Wu, sweeping the floor in the cold palace for 100 years

Chapter 54 The barrier between heaven and man appears, the three princes are assassinated

After Ye Cheng told Yinyin a story, she couldn't sit still.

"Old man, where's Xiao Huang?"

She searched everywhere for the whereabouts of that chicken, Xiao Huang.

The first time she came here, she was chased and pecked by the chicken Xiao Huang, but she kicked Xiao Huang away.

Since then, the two little guys have played together.

"Sleeping under the table."

Ye Cheng said.

Yinyin quickly ran in, and quickly came out from under the table holding one of Xiaohuang's wings.

"Old man, why is Xiao Huang not moving? Is it dead?"

Yinyin asked curiously.

Seeing Yin Yin holding Xiao Huang's wings, Ye Cheng quickly brought Xiao Huang over, and said with a smile: "Xiao Huang is not dead, it just fell into a deep sleep, Yin Yin, don't bother me yet."

"Oh."

Yinyin nodded obediently.

Ye Cheng threw it away casually, and Xiao Huang immediately flew out and returned under the table.

From the beginning to the end, this little thing didn't respond at all.

At this time, Li Jing and Ding Yuan came out of the quiet room, both looked tired.

"Old man, we have completed the comprehension of sword intent."

Li Jing said.

"Well, then you go back first."

Ye Cheng nodded, and began to issue the eviction order.

"Yinyin, say goodbye to my husband."

Li Jing picked up her daughter and said.

"Old man, goodbye, Yinyin will come to play next time."

Yin Yin said very obediently.

"Yinyin, goodbye."

Ye Cheng smiled slightly.

After watching Li Jing and the others leave, the cold palace regained its calm.

Ye Cheng lay down on the rocking chair again, basking in the sun, squinting his eyes, and calmed down, as if the previous irritability had been swept away.

In the dark, Ye Cheng felt that his spiritual meaning seemed to have entered a strange realm, and he saw a light, like a light of hope appearing in the boundless darkness.

When his spiritual consciousness approached this light, he found that he couldn't cross it. It seemed that there was an invisible barrier preventing him from moving forward.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Cheng sat up suddenly.

There was a look of surprise on his face.

"My spiritual consciousness just now seems to have touched the barrier between heaven and man?"

Ye Cheng muttered to himself.

But he wanted to enter that strange state again, but he couldn't.

"It seems that I should have almost touched the barrier between heaven and man, but I was impatient before, which affected my state of mind, which caused my heart to be in a mess and unable to stabilize."

Ye Cheng finally found his way, and he immediately felt relieved.

night.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

The lights are brightly lit, and Yingsongyan dances.

In the spacious and luxurious lobby, more than a dozen thinly dressed beauties are dancing with their exquisite bodies.

Some musicians were playing and singing nearby.

Zhenbei Hou Lingshuang lay reclined on the couch covered with soft blankets, listening to the music and watching the beautiful dance.

Lord Lingshuang, who is in his 30s, has sword eyebrows and star eyes. Although he has a mustache, he still gives people a sense of heroism.

There was an unconcealable joy in his eyebrows.

He has been under house arrest in the Imperial City of Kyoto for almost nine years.

Within the imperial city, he can travel freely, eat, drink and have fun as he pleases, but he cannot leave the imperial city.

Although he still has a secret connection with the Hanzhou Scarlet Owl Legion.

But he didn't go back for nearly nine years, and he knew that his influence over there was declining day by day.

What's more, how many nine years are there in life?
So he doesn't want to leave here every day.

But Qi Huang didn't allow it at all, and even when he joined the other three towns and princes to meet him, Qi Huang also avoided seeing him.

The four Marquis had been ignored.

It's not that he didn't think about getting away secretly, but Qi Huang secretly sent many masters to stare at him.

He had already given up.

But recently there was a turning point. People from the Pei family in Qingzhou contacted him secretly and would rescue him.

He had contacted Pei's family many times before, but did not respond.

As long as the Pei family is willing to rescue him from the imperial city, he will be able to escape. Once he returns to Hanzhou, he will be free to fly.

Just when Zhenbei Hou Lingxiao was in a happy mood, a shrill scream came in from outside.

Ling Shuang was startled suddenly, and immediately saw a man in black robes floating in, and the guards who intercepted the way fell down one after another before approaching.

A grandmaster beside Ling Shuang had just rushed out, then flew upside down and landed in front of Ling Shuang, with a bloody hole in his chest.

Ling Shuang swallowed her saliva, showing a hint of panic, "You, who are you?"

Because this grandmaster guard refers to Xuanzongshi, but was instantly killed, it is conceivable how terrifying the strength of this black-robed man is.

And he was just in the mid-term of Flying Grandmaster.

It is still piled up by resources, and its actual combat ability is not strong.

But the man in the black robe remained indifferent, his eyes seemed devoid of any emotion.

Ling Shuang suddenly turned around and ran, but before she ran far, she fell to the ground, looked down at the blood hole in her chest, her eyes were dazed.

Who is going to kill him?
Is it the Pei family?

Should not be ah.

He had promised to rescue him before.

Unfortunately, he will never have the chance to know.

The man in black took a look at the paralyzed dancing girls and musicians, then turned and left.

Qianyuan Palace.

Li Jing sat cross-legged and was practicing.

Suddenly, Cao Huaiying's soft calling came in, "Your Majesty."

Li Jing opened his eyes. Normally, when he was practicing, Cao Huaiying would not come to disturb him if there was nothing serious.

So after receiving his merits, he opened his mouth and said, "Eunuch Cao, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, not long ago, Zhenbeihou, Zhennanhou, and Zhenxihou were all assassinated and killed."

Cao Huaiying said quickly.

"what?"

Li Jing's complexion changed drastically. Although the princes of the three towns were under house arrest in the imperial city, he never thought of dealing with them.

These three towns and state marquises have extraordinary identities, they all hold military power, and they represent the three frontier martial arts legions behind them.

Once there is a problem with the three major towns and kingdoms, the consequences will be disastrous.

What kind of force dared to assassinate the three major towns?
After Li Jing ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, this was the first time that Li Jing encountered such a shocking event.

However, after experiencing what happened more than eight years ago, he was still calm, and he was not at a loss because of it.

"Eunuch Cao, where is the Marquis of Zhenhai?"

Li Jing asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no news from the Marquis of Zhenhai for the time being, and the old slave has already sent people to investigate."

Cao Huaiying said quickly.

"Call the ministers immediately."

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Such a big event must be brainstormed.

Before the courtiers arrived, news finally came from the Zhenhai Hou Mansion.

"All the guards, servants, and servants of Zhenhaihou's mansion are all dead, except Zhenhaihou's whereabouts are unknown."

After hearing Cao Huaiying's report, Li Jing's face darkened.

The other three major towns and state marquises are all dead.

Only Marquis Zhenhai was missing.

What's so strange about it?
