From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

The second reason is that the assassin is not alone. In addition to the assassin hidden in the elephant corpse, there is another person hidden among the guards.

At the moment when the assassin in the corpse made his move, the assassin hidden among the guards revealed a trace of killing intent, otherwise, she would not have been able to detect it.

Lin Wanqiu leaned close to Xiao Minghuang's ear and whispered:

"The assassin was slapped to death by the prince's palm, and there is no body left."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's eyes turned, and he glanced at Wang Jin who was standing guard not far away, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"Anything else to discover?"

Lin Wanqiu responded:

"In the belly of the giant elephant, I found the beast-controlling order of the beast-controlling sect. It was this token that triggered the beast tide. The assassin took this opportunity to assassinate His Highness."

The Emperor Beast Sect had no contact with Daxia, so Xiao Minghuang naturally knew about it.

There is no one who has the motive to assassinate her except the prince of Jingzhong.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Minghuang's eyes turned, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Late autumn, don't reveal the fact that I've woken up, wait until night..."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a hint of shock in her eyes.

"It's too dangerous!"

Xiao Minghuang said calmly:

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you find tiger cubs."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu no longer tried to persuade her, she knew that Xiao Minghuang was intelligent and prudent, and would never do anything uncertain.

"Up to now, I can only trust His Highness and cooperate with His Highness with all my strength... It's just that I didn't expect that the calamity would actually originate within Xiao Qiang..."

Lin Wanqiu murmured to herself, and immediately carried Xiao Minghuang into the carriage with Ye Ruoshui, and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to settle down.

Just after returning to the room, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Ruoshui was helping Xiao Minghuang clean up the blood on her body.

Lin Wanqiu opened the door, and saw the captain of the guard of the City Lord's Mansion standing at the door.

"General Li, what's the matter?"

General Li is tall and tall, with a Chinese character face, and looks very honest and honest. Holding a long sword in both hands, he said respectfully:

"Report to the eldest lady, the city lord will return this sword at the end of his life!"

Lin Wanqiu glanced at the long sword. It was three feet long and short. The sword body was full of divine light, and the blade was engraved with faint dragon patterns. It was indeed an extraordinary sword.

But the current Lin Wanqiu didn't have the intention to appreciate the sword, so she took the long sword and said lightly:

"Understood, you go down."

General Li responded, turned and left.

Lin Wanqiu looked at his leaving back, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly said:

"General Li wait a minute!"

Hearing the sound, General Li stopped and turned around, with a puzzled look on his resolute square face.

Lin Wanqiu stepped forward, walked up to General Li, and said in a low voice:

"There are assassins in the city lord's mansion. The general, please select manpower and deploy defenses everywhere, especially near my small courtyard. We must secretly ambush heavy troops to protect His Highness!"

Hearing this, General Li's pupils showed a hint of surprise, and asked【>@

"Isn't His Highness in the house? Why are you deploying defenses around the Missy's yard?"

66. This person is not stupid, the traitor is exposed

"I know you are the old man of the City Lord's Mansion, so I will tell you the truth. This place is just a suspect soldier, and the purpose is to lure the assassin to come, and then capture him alive."

Lin Wanqiu opened her mouth slowly and explained.

"So that's it, this subordinate is stupid!"

General Li suddenly realized, but the next moment, he asked again:

"Miss, the senior who appeared outside the city today is very powerful, why didn't he just go and capture the assassin?"

Lin Wanqiu sighed softly, with a look of sadness in her eyes.

"His Royal Highness is seriously injured and needs the Resurrection Pill to heal his wounds, but this kind of elixir is only available in the capital. The prince rushed back to the capital overnight to get the elixir. I think he will be back tomorrow morning."

Hearing this sentence, General Li's eyes paused, and then he said happily:

"With the help of the prince and father, His Highness's injury is not a serious problem."

"That's natural. His Highness has his own auspiciousness, so what are these little people worth?!"

Lin Wanqiu snorted coldly, with disdain in her eyes, and said:

"This time, I must capture the assassin alive, and get rid of the serious trouble for His Highness!"

Leaving this sentence behind, she still did not forget to remind her again, word by word, and said seriously:

"General Li, Your Highness, you must be heavily guarded, and there must be no mistakes, or I will definitely question you!"

General Li looked serious, and said seriously:

"Miss, don't worry, not a single fly can fly into His Highness's place tonight!"

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu nodded in satisfaction, turned around and walked back into the house.

Seeing that beautiful figure disappear in front of his eyes, General Li showed a strange smile, then turned and left.

inside the room.

Lin Wanqiu closed the door, tightly grasped the dragon sword in her hand, closed her eyes and meditated.

...

That night.

The black moon covers the moon, and you can't see your fingers.

In the city lord's mansion, a black shadow jumped on the attics.

This black shadow was extremely fast, stepping on the tiles like a dragonfly touching water, but it didn't make any sound.

After a while, the black shadow came to an attic, lifted a tile, took a look, then closed it again, and walked into the attic. I know that I have been proficient in this way for many years, and I am familiar with it.

As the shadow entered the attic, his footsteps became lighter and more cautious, not even making a sound.

He crossed several screens and finally came to the deepest part of the attic, where he saw a figure lying quietly on the bed.

A cold light flashed in the hands of the black shadow, and he moved his steps, arriving near the clinical couch in an instant.

Sen Leng's light flickered, the sharp dagger wrapped in violent spiritual power, and the terrifying killing intent swayed out, directly attacking the figure on the bed.

but.

Just at this time.

The figure lying on the bed moved.

I saw a flash of golden light, and the bright sword shadow condensed in an instant, slashing fiercely with that cold light.

The cold glow and the sword shadow collided, and they were in a stalemate for less than a moment before being defeated. The sharp dagger was covered with cracks, and it shattered under the continuous disturbance of the violent spiritual power.

hum!

After a loud noise, the black shadow was knocked out, flew several feet upside down, smashed down countless screens, and finally fell heavily on the railing of the balcony, spurting blood from his mouth, and his breath quickly weakened.

at this time.

The figure on the bed stood up and showed her face. It was Lin Wanqiu. She was holding the dragon pattern sword, with a slight smile on her face.

"Sure enough, as His Highness expected, this person is not stupid and will not believe what I say."

While speaking, she walked to the balcony and saw another black shadow leaping into Xiao Minghuang's small courtyard from a distance.

at the same time.

In Xiao Minghuang's small courtyard.

After Ye Ruoshui took care of Xiao Minghuang to rest, she lay down on the side of the bed. She had undergone great changes during the day, and her mind and body were exhausted. At this moment, she finally couldn't stand the tiredness, so she just sat here and fell into a deep sleep.

Soon.

A black shadow turned over from the balcony, and arrived at the clinical couch at an extremely fast speed. A dagger emerged in his hand, with a flickering cold light, and stabbed towards Xiao Minghuang's heart with one blow!

But at this time.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Minghuang, who was supposed to be seriously injured and dying, suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a starry sky shining in the pair of eyes. The endless stars radiated brilliant light, and a golden light shot out quickly, before the cold light came. , pierced through the shoulder of the shadow.

"broken!"

The sudden scene shocked Sombra, and he retreated quickly, wanting to escape.

but.

A pair of big black hands emerged from behind him, tightly strangling his neck.

The black shadow's burly body was abruptly lifted into the air, and during the struggle, the kerchief covering his face fell to the ground.

This also exposed his true colors.

at this time.

Lin Wanqiu jumped onto the balcony, seeing the true face of the black shadow, a complex expression appeared on his face.

"General Li, it's really you."

The face towel fell to the ground, and the appearance of the black shadow appeared in front of everyone.

It is the captain of the guard of the City Lord's Mansion, General Li.

At this moment, he was being strangled by the neck, and he was clutching the big black hand tightly with both hands, trying to open it, but the big hand didn't move at all. His face was flushed, as if he was about to be out of breath.

Xiao Minghuang got up from the bed, did not get out of bed, sat down on the opportunity, and asked lightly:

"It's alright, Eunuch Wang, let him down."

The voice fell.

The figure of Wang Gonggong flashed out of the void, and with a wave of his hand, the big black hand disappeared, replaced by a rope made of spiritual power, tightly binding General Li.

General Li's figure fell heavily on the ground, making a loud noise, but awakened the sleeping Ye Ruoshui.

The little girl's delicate body trembled, and she suddenly raised her head to see that her highness had woken up and was sitting on the bed intact.

Ye Ruoshui was suddenly surprised and happy, and immediately called out:

"Your Highness, you are awake!"

Seeing Ye Ruoshui's reaction, Xiao Minghuang gently stroked the other's soft hair, and took advantage of the situation to pull her into his arms, and said softly:

"Ruoshui is good, my sister is doing business, and I will talk to you later."

"Ok!"

Ye Ruoshui responded crisply, then put her head on Xiao Minghuang's arms, closed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her face, and said no more.

Xiao Minghuang looked around, and when her gaze returned to General Li, the warmth in her pupils was swept away.

At this time, her eyes are full of indifference, just like the eternal stars in the boundless universe, not caring about billions of creatures as small as dust.

Xiao Minghuang asked lightly:

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

heard.

General Li snorted coldly, his heart was full of dissatisfaction, he was originally at the seventh level of the Yongquan Realm, and his strength far surpassed Xiao Minghuang's. This time the assassination was supposed to be a sure thing, but he did not expect to fall into a trap.

"Huh! The yellow-haired girl is full of tricks, she lied about Wang Jin returning to Beijing, and lured me into the trap. Now, there is nothing to say. You kill me!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang was not angry, and told Wang Jin:

"Eunuch Wang, I know that you, as the chief eunuch of the palace, must have many talents who are good at extorting confessions by torture. I will leave this villain to you. You must pry something useful out of his mouth."
