Chapter 98 Assassin in the Palace
After Gou Yue left, not long after, the father-in-law came outside the palace to announce that the Queen was here.He rubbed his temples, upset, "Yun."

Han Cheng sat down and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew down from above his head, followed by a flying knife.

Mo Du held the desk with one hand, spun around and flew into the sky. His clothes were fluttering. He changed the direction of the flying knife with a wave of his long sleeve. With a click, it was inserted into the window. The broken window got stuck on the bat carving in the middle.

Han Cheng's beauty turned pale and he hid behind him in shock, "There's someone coming! There's an assassin!"

Before it was too late, Bai Zhen had already broken into the palace, brandishing a single sword and started fighting with the masked assassin. In a moment, the Yu Guards had also arrived.

At this moment, another assassin sneaked in from somewhere outside the palace, tiptoeing slightly, with a figure like an arrow, and struck Mo Du Pain. Bai Zhu was not a vegetarian, so Yao Zi turned over and stood in front of Mo Du with a few steps, " Don't hurt Your Majesty!"

Hengjian blocked the assassin's killing move.

Seeing that the assassination failed, the two assassins had no intention of fighting.

Bai Zhen shouted loudly, "Kill without mercy! Don't let anyone go!"

Modu said calmly, "Catch the ones alive. If you can't catch them, they will die."

Xuan Niang, who came to help, heard this and said, "Yes!" She also joined the fight.

The two assassins were very skilled in martial arts. Bai Chan handed over the pursuit mission to Xuan Niang and Wu Zefei, while he guarded the emperor and queen. A row of guards closely guarded Mo Du and Han Cheng.

Han Cheng saw that Modu's face turned yellow and he was panting, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, how are you?"

Mo Du shook his head and said nothing, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.

An assassin turned around and pointed directly at Xuan Niang's throat.

He took half a step back and flicked his long knife away from his sword.

Wu Zefei lost an arm, and his movements slowed down during the fight. He let one of the assassins slip away with a snap of his fingers, and the other feather guards failed to hurt him at all.

Xuan Niang was so angry that she yelled outside the palace, "You hammer, what use do you have?"

While she was distracted, the assassin she was fighting seized the opportunity and escaped.

Xuan Niang and Wu Zefei followed closely and chased them all the way to the mountain road. Suddenly, the Yu Wei army only gathered a hundred people.

Mo Du didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, so he didn't mobilize more people.

After Bai Chan settled the emperor and the empress, he was about to go to assist them. He met Taiyuan Ji Pu and Hei Te Ying, one of the twelve guards, who came to return. He was stopped by Hei Te Ying, who came late and said, " I'll go, you guard outside the palace, be careful as this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. You must deploy the hundreds of guards I brought with you. If there are other assassins, you must not be reluctant to fight. The most important thing is to protect your majesty and empress."

"Bai Zhen understands."

Hearing the fierce fighting on the edge of the cliff, Gou Yue was pulled all the way by Ji Pu and finally arrived.

Gou Yue took a quick look and saw two masked assassins working together to fight to the death with many guards in front of the cliff. Rubbles were flying across the cliff.

She knew Xuan Niang and Wu Zefei, but there was another man wielding bronze double sticks whom she had never seen before.

Seeing his copper stick blowing in the wind, no matter how sharp the assassin's sword was, he couldn't cut his copper stick.

In fact, even if Ji Pu didn't come to look for her, it seemed that the three of them could kill the two assassins if they spent more effort.

Ji Pu arrived, and together with Gou Yue, just now the three of them plus many guards were able to fight the two of them to a draw. Now Ji Pu and Gou Yue came again. The hero couldn't stand the group fight, and suddenly the two assassins were in a difficult situation. In a dangerous place, the sword has no eyes. Black Teeth was worried that he would not be able to catch anyone alive, so he asked the guards to retreat, and they personally caught the assassin.

Several people were fighting in a melee, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly.

The assassin was driven closer and closer to the cliff.

There is only defensive momentum, no chance of offense.

In an instant, one of the assassins' shoulder bone was hit by a black-toothed stick and was smashed to pieces. Half of his collarbone was no longer shaped. When the other assassin saw this, he was not in a hurry to save his companion, but looked around and looked for it. Way of escape.

The assassin with a broken shoulder immediately changed his hands and continued fighting with the sword in his left hand.

Gou Yue looked into his eyes and felt extremely familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

Wu Zefei took advantage of the fact that he was hit by a stick and was unable to move. His feet slipped and a cold light appeared from the front of his boots. It turned out that there was a thin blade hidden under the boots. He was very fast and cut his arm holding the weapon in one fell swoop. .

Another assassin jumped over the wall, flew up, and fell upside down from the sky with a move. The long sword went towards Hei Teoying's head. Hei Teoying raised the copper stick in his hand, but his knees were weak under the pressure of his sword.

The kung fu of these two assassins should be famous in the world. One swordsmanship is like a Wudang Sword mixed with the Seven Star Sword, and the other one's moves are so confusing that it is difficult to distinguish the moves.

Black Tooth Ying shouted loudly, raised his stick and threw it away, swinging the assassin a few steps away. The assassin turned around and saw that there was a cliff below.

At this moment, Gou Yue saw the assassin's thoughts and said hurriedly, "You may not die if you surrender, but you will definitely not survive if you jump."

Wu Zefei snorted coldly, "What are you waiting for!"

He stepped forward to grab one of the assassins, but suddenly, both assassins flew down and fell from the edge of the cliff like birds.

Black Teeth hurriedly stepped forward, clawed at the cliff and said, "Go down the mountain road and you will see the corpse."

Wu Zefei said, "Don't worry. The assassin just now has been poisoned by me. My blade was smeared with poison. He has no antidote. If his blood flows backwards for an hour, he will definitely die."

Xuan Niang was helpless, "If you hadn't stepped forward just now, maybe you wouldn't have forced them to jump off the cliff. Now it's fine. We can't catch any of them alive. What's the deal with His Majesty?"

Black Teeth responded, "That's enough. Stop arguing. We'll find the body later."

Seeing Gou Yue standing on the edge of the cliff in a daze, Ji Pu stepped forward and patted her shoulder, "Thank you very much. If you hadn't joined in, we wouldn't have ended the fight so quickly."

Gou Yue said, "It's nothing, just remember what you promised me."

It turns out that he was able to persuade Gou Yue to come over just now and promised that Gou Yue could help her release her inner strength and rebuild her internal strength.

"After tomorrow, you come to Ji Mansion. My senior brother is also in the manor recently. He will definitely be able to help you."

"Chen Sang, will you help me?" Gou Yue sighed.

"I will tell him what happened today."

Gou Yue was silent for a moment and asked, "How are you these days, Lian Ju?"

He didn't expect Gou Yue to ask her about Lian Yu.

He said dryly, "Very... very good."

She figured it out as soon as she saw his expression, "She's dead?"

Ji Pu raised his eyes and his eyes darkened, "How do you know?"

"Guess."

In her early years, when she was still in Liangzhu, she listened to the teachings of humanity. Liangzhu was a place of cultural seclusion, the sound of deer mingled and the sound of mulberry leaves. If she gained both culture and martial arts, the world would be at peace.

Wen Yin is A Yuan. He has always been gentle with others, so he is known as a warm-hearted person. But for some reason, he always mocked her when he saw her in those years.Shen Sang was already seriously ill when she heard about his name. Later, he even had a leg amputated and could no longer lead an army. She and he never fought hand in hand on the battlefield once. However, it is said that when he was at his peak, he had strict military discipline and a ruthless personality. He was the commander-in-chief of the Yan people and defeated the adept troops of Northern Chu many times, so that the royal court moved many times.

Many of the current military commanders in the court were born in Luming Mountain and received guidance from Shen Sang.

When I was a boy, I heard that Shen Sang did not marry a wife or take concubines, and he had no attendants around him. Even though he had limited legs and feet, he only had a junior brother to take care of his food and daily life.

Think about what Yuan Zhi said back then. Although it may not be completely true, Shen Sang must have a strong desire to control Ji Pu, his junior brother. He took back the pregnant girl without Shen Sang's consent. Lian Yu, and if he found out that Lian Yu was from a brothel, he would definitely not agree to her staying with Ji Pu.

No wonder he cried so sadly at that time. It turned out that he was helpless in front of Shen Sang, and he couldn't even protect a woman.

Ji Pu explained, "You don't have to worry. My senior brother only has a bad temper occasionally. I'll talk to him and he won't hurt you."

Gou Yue wanted to say something to urge him to move forward, but when her words came to her lips, she turned into, "Okay, I understand."

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"No need, I know where Ji's Mansion is." Gou Yue and Wen Yuanzhi returned to the house. When they saw Tai Yao'er running out after hearing the sound, he grabbed Gou Yue and ran to the room.

"What's wrong, are you in a hurry?" Gou Yue said.

She didn't say anything. When she got to the room, she closed the doors and windows and said, "I want to tell you something. You are not allowed to tell your brother-in-law."

Gou Yue nodded, "Okay, you go ahead."

She opened the window again and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before running to Gou Yue.

"Senior sister, I saw senior brother Gu Mo today."

"Senior Brother Gu Mo?"

The assassin's eyes flashed through her mind.

That's right, that's right.

No wonder she felt that the man's features were so familiar, it was actually him.

He was one of the assassins who killed Mo Du.

"What is he here for?" Gou Yue suppressed the panic in her heart, her expression unchanged.

"Oh, he didn't say anything. At first I thought he was here to take me back, but we ended up eating a bowl of wontons and then went our separate ways," Tai Yao'er said.

"Senior sister, what do you think senior brother is doing in Liangzhu?"

"I have no idea."

"From his tone, it sounds like he has a companion."

"Really, he's also a member of the Ordinary Hall?"

Tai Yao'er shook his head, "I don't know about that, he didn't say anything."

She pretended not to care and asked, "Do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know. He told me not to meddle in his business and just follow you."

Gou Yue calmed down and said, "Liangzhu has not been very peaceful these days. I heard that bandits from outside have entered Liangzhu. Don't go out and run around, and don't ask for information, so as not to get into trouble."

Yao Er said, "I have been practicing the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Acupuncture for a long time. Senior sister, let alone the bandits now, even if the top masters in the world are in front of me, I won't even blink."

Gou Yue was helpless, "Just listen to these words. After these few days, you can go out to play again."

"Okay, then will you still enter the palace tomorrow?"

"Well, I have to go to class, but I have to go to Ji's house first."

Tai Yao'er said, "Going to play with Ji Pu?"

"I'm not playing with him."

"Oh, senior sister, please take me with you, please."

"No." She always felt that Shen Sang was really dangerous. If Shen Sang had murderous intent on her, she could only protect herself. It would be too much trouble to take Yao'er with her.

"Sister, I..."

Gou Yue had already stood up and left. She turned around and saw that she was the only one in the room.

Early the next morning, the sky was hazy.

Wen Yuanzhi was still asleep, and Gou Yue was afraid of waking him up, so she got up quietly, put on her clothes, tucked in the quilt before leaving.

Frost fell in the autumn, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were stained with silver. She practiced her sword, put away the weapon, and left on horseback.

Jin Ge got up wearing clothes and wanted to make some food for her before leaving.

"It's still early outside. If a girl doesn't eat, how can she have any strength?"

She pushed her back to sleep, "I ate the pastry you made last night, wasn't there a lot left?"

"It's cold in autumn, so I want to eat something warm."

Gou Yue shushed softly, "Be careful not to wake them up. You can go back to sleep. It doesn't matter whether you eat cold or hot. My body is warm!"

She held Gou Yue's hand, and as expected it was not cold at all, so she let her go.

By the time we arrived at Ji's house, it was already dark.

Gou Yue knocked on the door, and soon an old housekeeper came to open the door.

"Miss Gouyue, please come this way."

"I wonder if General Shen is up now?"

The old housekeeper said, "The general is a martial arts practitioner. Although he doesn't practice martial arts now, he wakes up very early every day."

"Where's Ji Pu? Why haven't you seen him?"

"I heard that a corpse was found in the moat today. It floated all the way from the Palace River to the moat. Fortunately, it was at night. The watchman took a lantern to shine and found it, and Mr. Ji rushed there."

Gou Yue felt unspeakable pain in her heart. She didn't understand why her master ordered Gu Mo to assassinate Mo Du. The disciples of Ordinary Hall usually helped each other outside, but yesterday that person clearly didn't want to care about Gu Mo's life and death and wanted to escape alone. Maybe the other assassin is not a disciple of the Ordinary Hall at all.

Who would it be?

Just as she was thinking about it, Gou Yue and the housekeeper had already passed through the strange stone path in the courtyard, bypassed the cloister and curved sheds, passed three or four pavilions, and arrived in front of a small courtyard.

Stepping on the stone steps, the housekeeper gently opened the door and said, "Master, the guests have arrived."

"Yeah." A voice came from the courtyard.

There was a ball of cotton thread in his hand, and a napping cat was lying on his lap. Seeing her arrival, Shen Sang patted the cat's head, and it jumped off his lap with interest and went to mind itself. Sleeping in a corner of the corridor.

Shen Sang glanced at her without stopping for long.

Said, "Go on."

The two were four or five steps apart, and he threw one end of the cotton thread out. Originally such a light thread could not be oriented against the wind, but the end of the cotton thread went straight into Gou Yue's hand.

"You want to take my pulse?" she asked.

Shen Sang tapped the side of the stone bench with one hand, and a stone bench flew in front of her and landed steadily, "Sit down."

The two of them each held one end, and the cotton thread was pulled straight.

"I don't mean to take your pulse. I see that you are in good health. Besides, even if it is to take your pulse, Wen Yuanzhi can take your pulse. My medical skills are much worse than his."

Gou Yue was puzzled, "Then what are you going to do?"

He suddenly injected internal force, through his index finger and middle, into the thin cotton thread. The cotton thread trembled slightly when he hooked the moon. There was no wind in the courtyard, but her long hair was actually fluttered by that trace of internal force.

Gou Yue immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to tell her that even through a small path, the inner power could be released.

His inner strength kept coming from one end of the cotton thread.

"It's your turn." Shen Sang said.

At this moment, Gou Yue knew the secret, and imitated it, wanting to transfer her inner power into his hands through the cotton thread.
