The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

As time gradually passed, and the moon went up to midnight, Zhao Tong finally felt a little tired.

He didn't sleep last night, and now he was dealing with military affairs until almost midnight. Even if he was half a celestial being, he couldn't keep his spirit unchanged.

He stood up and walked a few steps in the hall, then decided to go to the bedroom to rest.

Zhao Tong lived in Xiao Min's courtyard back then, and he slept in the house at that time. He walked out of the hall and walked on the familiar road.

But just as he was approaching the front of the courtyard, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and moved silently like smoke to a big tree.

Then, his body seemed to blend into the tree, and without any movement, he slid onto the tree and hid in the canopy.

This tree is not far from the courtyard. Through the dense canopy of the tree, you can see the scene of the residential courtyard, and you can also watch the scene in the distance.

There were many lanterns lit in the courtyard, and there were two big ones swaying slightly in front of the door.

Zhao Tong didn't see anything at this time, he just heard some sounds.

Sound comes from the rhythm of the wind and the pulse of the earth. The realm of heaven and man is to intersect with nature, complex creatures, and everything in the world, and get information and sound, and borrow power from it.

There is a curfew in the capital now, and there are only night patrol soldiers in the city. The night patrol soldiers will not be so hasty... and the night patrol soldiers are not so agile and fast.

There was a voice coming this way. In fact, apart from him, Huo Xuanji and Xiao Lizhi lived next to him, and the two courtyards were close to each other.

The Jurchens must also know this truth, so they will definitely send someone with full confidence to come. Could it be one of the two?
This is very possible. In this kind of thing, we must spare no effort, give everything we have, and do our best, because if it happens like this once, it will hardly happen twice. Then it will be either the Great Immortal Zhilai or the Master of the Jianyin Tribe!
Zhao Tong felt confident and stayed motionless in the tree canopy to observe the situation inside the mansion. After all, it was easy to find out the fact that he settled in the Prince's Mansion, but the specific courtyard where he lived was not known to outsiders.

Someone is walking at night!
Come to the Liaoxi County Prince's Mansion!

Zhao Tong thought for a while, and in fact there were no masters in the Prince's Palace at the moment. Apart from himself, there was not even a grandmaster.

Mi Zhenting and the others do not live in this mansion, but in the house next to it, but it is only separated by a wall. With the martial arts skills of the three of them, the county prince's mansion is small. If there is any noise here, they will be noticed immediately by the other side. .

If the opponent wanted to assassinate him, he had to know where he lived. He just had to wait and see, otherwise he would alert the enemy and capture him. Based on his estimate of the assassin's martial arts, the people in the mansion might not be able to resist and would suffer heavy losses.

In fact, at this time, the sounds of clothes flowing in the air, the tapping of toes, and the slight breathing that he noticed had already arrived in the house, and the other party was speeding up to enter the house.

But the courtyard next to them was different. Huo Xuanji and Xiao Lizhi didn't know what they were doing. The lights in the windows in the courtyard were flickering but not extinguished.

This was a good idea. Zhao Tong couldn't help but touch his chin, but was he really that easy to assassinate? However, the Jurchens do still have masters, such as the great shaman Immortal Zhi...or the clan leader of the Jianyin tribe!
Then who will come tonight? After all, assassination requires surprise and success. Because if it fails once, the other party will definitely take more precautions and it will be difficult to do it again.

But it's still possible to get closer.

Zhao Tong just felt someone running fast in the wind and someone creeping on the ground, all heading towards the Liaoxi County Prince's Mansion.

As soon as these people entered the house, they immediately stopped moving, seeming to hide themselves and secretly observe the situation inside the house.

That's why Zhao Tong was able to feel the movement outside, because the source of the movement was not far from the palace.

Zhao Tong stood in the treetop and meditated. There was no doubt that the Jurchen assassin who sneaked into the house at night must be a Jurchen assassin. The Jurchens were now weak and declining. There was no good way to reverse the decline. It could even be said that there was no other way, except to assassinate themselves.

The Prince's Mansion in Liaoxi County is actually not big. It can't compare with the big mansions of the clans in Shangjing City. Even the mansions of some Jidai princes of Khitan can't compare with it. It's just a small mansion.

If he is not here, then the Qin army will inevitably retreat, the court will be turbulent, and the country will be in chaos. At this time, it is the best time for the Jurchens to turn defeat into victory and go south again. They will have great confidence in penetrating the Central Plains and succeeding in the south invasion.

At this moment, Zhao Tong felt the sound of the footsteps entering the house rang again, but it radiated away. It was obvious that he had been hiding for a moment and now planned to explore where he was staying.

Zhao Tong thought for a moment and couldn't help but frown. Although there were a few lanterns in the courtyard where he lived, the room was dark.

The person who came was not the same person. He must have extremely high martial arts skills, and the soldiers guarding the mansion did not notice it.

If Zhao Tong can't sense the farthest reaches of the earth, wouldn't he be a god? At least it's not possible right now.

The two of them were still awake at such a late hour. Zhao Tong snorted in his heart, secretly thinking that the assassin who came to investigate would definitely go there first when he saw such a scene.

After all, if the lights are on in the yard over there, it can be confirmed that there is someone there, but although the two women are skilled in martial arts, they are probably no match for the assassins, but they are a bit dangerous.

Originally, Zhao Tong wanted to sell a flaw and attract people to come over quietly, but that might not be possible now, and he had to save the two girls first.

He felt the sound getting closer, and then he saw only a gray shadow, no human figure, floating in and out so quietly.

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and stared closely. This assassin was very good at hiding. Whenever he encountered an obstacle, he would attach himself to the object. He could not see clearly and could not be noticed by the outside world.

After a while, the gray shadow went straight to the lighted courtyard, and without knowing what method he used, he ducked in.

Zhao Tong sighed, his body swayed, and seemed to float away with the wind, and in a moment, he also entered the courtyard.

He was also invisible in the darkness, and the gray shadow could not be noticed. He just waited for a few moments and then went under the window. Zhao Tong did not move, watching the gray shadow lying in front of the window, and then broke the window paper and looked inside.

Zhao Tong quietly came out at this time, came behind Hui Ying, touched his nose, and looked in along the hole.

He vaguely saw that the two girls were indeed awake and were sitting at the table playing chess. Zhao Tong wondered in his heart, Xiao Lizhi didn't know how to play, so when did he learn this? Could it be that the abandonment of his son actually inspired him to learn how to play chess?

Gray Shadow looked at it for a moment, then took out a thin tube from his arms, slowly unscrewed it, and revealed the incense head inside.

This incense head is not extinguished, but is like a twisting fire. It was lit before, and now there are still embers, and it will rekindle immediately when the wind blows.

Seeing Hui Ying move Mi Xiang towards the hole in the window, Zhao Tong immediately understood what he was planning to do.

It's not that he was stealing fragrance, but he was afraid of disturbing others, so he wanted to stun him first and then tie him up. Then he woke him up and asked where he lived.

This was a good idea, but how could Zhao Tong let him succeed? When he saw that the incense head was close to the hole, he blew it out in one breath. At this moment, he is halfway to the realm of heaven and human. His blood energy is as strong as the sea, and his energy is not leaking out. If he really has enough energy, he can blow a big blow at the mouth of the well, and the water in the well will be stirred up. In shallower wells, the water will even splash. outside the well.

At this time, he blew the air into a bundle, without any leakage, without using more or less, but just right. The newly rekindled fire of the incense head was immediately extinguished by him.

As soon as Hui Ying put the incense thread into the hole, he found that the incense was extinguished, and he couldn't help but be startled.

This is something that is simply impossible to happen. It would be fine if it went out in the tube, but if it burns red when taken out, how could it go out instantly?

The gray shadow immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He tensed up and didn't dare to move. His five senses were on alert, but he didn't notice anything amiss for a long time. Then he slowly turned around to look.

Zhao Tong followed his movements behind him, just like his shadow, walking with him like a shadow.

Gray Shadow looked around and found no one. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly because what just happened was too weird.

He took out the tinder box, carefully lit the incense thread with tinder again, then carefully looked around, and then leaned towards the hole in the window.

Zhao Tong touched his chin behind him. This kid is so evil, why is he still here?

He gathered his energy into a bundle and blew it in again. The fragrant thread was extinguished again when it reached the hole, and the gray shadow was stunned for a moment.

This is wrong, this is definitely wrong, how can it still be destroyed?

Gray Shadow turned his head suddenly, and there was nothing behind his head. He suddenly turned around, and there was nothing behind him, and he couldn't help but gasp.

He is a shaman, and all shamans believe in ghosts and gods. Although the dancing god's crazy singing and dancing, and asking the gods to get on his body are actually self-suggestions, but since they have been hinted, they will believe them to be true.

Gray Shadow's body was trembling slightly at this moment. He had just seen clearly that the incense head was extinguished in an instant. Not to mention that there was only a breeze at the moment, even a strong wind could not blow out the incense head. It would only make the incense burn more violently and quickly. , this is common knowledge.

Then why is it destroyed now? There is no one behind, could it be that ghosts and gods are showing up?

Thinking of this, Gray Shadow's face showed a look of horror unconsciously. If ghosts and gods really appeared, they were definitely not the gods of their shamans. They were foreign gods, and foreign gods were staring at him!

No, I have to try again, or maybe I thought wrong, is it really a coincidence, or is this scent just a trend?

Gray Shadow gritted his teeth. This time he came to the capital for an important mission, and it was led by the Great Immortal. He must not mess up his position before taking action. The incense sticks will also extinguish themselves when they get wet. Maybe they were damaged on the way here. After all, They had been caught in an autumn rain before.

Trembling, he opened the tinder again and lit the incense with tinder. At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind. If it was really damp, how could it be easily ignited again?
It was still wrong. Hui Ying suddenly felt at a loss in his heart, and then fear came again. However, the incense was already lit, and he could only mechanically pass it to the hole in the window paper again.

This time he rounded his eyes and stared closely at the head of the incense. With the candlelight from the window, he could even see the lines of the incense. This time he could find out what the incense was like no matter what. destroyed.

But it was still wrong, the incense was not extinguished. Why did he think so? Hui Ying couldn't help but be startled. He used the self-suggestion from the Dance God to extinguish the incense, which was okay.

But at this moment, when he was distracted, the incense stick went out for the third time.

Hui Ying suddenly trembled, and the incense stick in his hand fell on the window sill with a crisp sound. There was a "bang" in his head, and he secretly screamed in his heart, why he missed it.

He turned around hurriedly, but there was still no one around. This time he still didn't find out why the incense head went out, but he dropped the incense tube. Such a big movement would definitely alert the people in the house.

Sure enough, a scolding voice immediately came from the room: "Who?"

Hui Ying's expression changed when he heard this. He was upset. This would ruin a big thing. But at this moment, he had no other choice but to do nothing. Without saying a word, he directly opened the window and jumped in.

He wanted to kill the people in the house directly without asking where Zhao Tong was. He wanted to silence him first and then talk about it. It would only take a moment to delay.

Huo Xuanji and Xiao Lizhi were both shocked when they saw someone suddenly jumping in from outside, but then their expressions became extremely weird.

There is another person behind this person, like a personal shadow, but it is Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong gently waved his hand to the two women, signaling them to be quiet. Although the two women were surprised, they both remained silent.

The man in gray didn't say anything, he pulled out a soft knife from his body, stepped forward and stabbed him.

Of the two women, Huo Xuanji was naturally more skilled in martial arts. Although she was not yet a master, she was already approaching this level and immediately pulled Xiao Lizhi back to avoid him.

But this man in gray is no ordinary master, he actually has the strength of a half-step great master. This sword may seem ordinary, but in fact it never stops without seeing blood, and is called the Blood-Drinking Crazy Sword.

Seeing that the two women had no way to dodge and were about to die under the knife, the man in gray suddenly felt his body tense, as if his clothes were pulled by something from behind, and his forward momentum slowed down. The two women immediately hid to the side.

The man in gray changed his expression. Could it be that there was a third person in the room who had invaded his back?
He immediately used the Nine Heavens and Ten Ksitigarbha Sword Styles to protect his whole body, turned his body, and then glanced back from the corner of his eye, but he could see half a human figure.

Huo Xuanji and Xiao Lizhi could see clearly that Zhao Tie was still behind this man. No matter where he turned, Zhao Tie followed the other person without missing a beat, and the other party couldn't even see him at all.

Xiao Lizhi stretched out his hand and pointed: "This, this..."

The man in gray was really panicked at this time, and he was quite at a loss. But he knew that it was useless to be afraid now. He felt fierce in his heart, and without caring about what was happening behind him, he rushed towards the two women again with a knife.

But before he had rushed out three feet, he felt his collar being grabbed at the back, and he pulled back involuntarily.

His mind was instantly confused, and panic spread in his mind. He put his hands behind his back and slashed with the steel knife behind him, but didn't hit anything. He couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a scream like a beast encountering a natural enemy. He turned around and ran out of the window. .

Zhao Tong raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and slapped him down, killing him on the spot.

After two breaths, Zhao Tong felt someone running this way. There were a few at first, they must be the assassins who had entered the mansion before, and then there were countless noisy footsteps. It must be the soldiers in the mansion who heard the movement and rushed over...
