Clouds and Waters

In the autumn of the fifth year of Yongkang, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the night was still dark.It's past time, but the Luoyang Palace is brightly lit.

The capital of this dynasty was originally in Chang'an, but just looking at the palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, one has to be amazed.This place is very different from the capital city. If the Chang'an Palace is majestic and royal, here is a family with tenderness like water and a small bridge.Everywhere is full of beauty, love and beauty.Even if it is a seemingly ordinary weeping willow, if you look at it carefully, you can see that it was designed by the craftsmen with ingenuity, and the harmony between the patchwork and the natural style is unique.

Today's sage is the founder of the Great Yan Kingdom, whose name is Xue Wenbin.The emperor immediately won the world, and fought south and north for ten years before he was able to unify the four seas, conquer the eight wastelands, and secure the throne of the emperor.He knows that the world is not easy, so he adopts the strategy of light corvee and light tax, and recuperating.This dynasty has only been established for five years, but the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious. Haiyan and rivers are clean.Although the emperor made Chang'an his capital, he seemed to have a special attachment to this Luoyang palace, and he would come to live in the palace for a few months every year.

The cold dew has passed, and the coldness is getting stronger.After nightfall, the autumn wind blows, although it is not so cold to the bone, it can make people shiver unbearably.All the armored and brocade clothes of the Jinwu Guards, with thick backs and waists, all held their knives in their waists, and patrolled everything around them with arrogance, their eyes shone with brilliance, exuding breathtaking power.

At this moment, a small servant, holding a lantern, hurried to Qinzheng Hall.Maybe he had something urgent to report, the wind was blowing under his feet, and the autumn wind was whistling in his ears, which only made his face hurt, but he couldn't care about it.He ran in a hurry, the lantern was swaying, he couldn't see anything clearly, he didn't pay attention to his feet, he didn't know what kind of hard object he stepped on, he staggered suddenly, and fell forward.Before he could react, he instinctively yelled "Ouch, mama". When he came back to his senses, his knees and hands fell to the ground, and a pain went straight from his knees to his whole body.

Before the little servant had time to curse, he heard a burst of gloating laughter beside him.He raised his head and shouted sharply: "Which grandson is laughing? Get over here, grandpa, knock thirty times!"

It turned out that the person who laughed was none other than the Jinwu Guard who was watching the night.One of them, who seemed to be the leader, said: "Xiao Xizi, are you in such a hurry, are you rushing home to marry a wife? Haha... you don't have a wife, so you can call yourself a grandfather first? Oh, I forgot Yes, even if you have a daughter-in-law, at most you can only watch and touch, but you can't... hahahaha..." He became more and more proud when he said this, and laughed out loud.

The servant named Xiaoxizi was furious when he heard this, stood up, pinched his waist with one hand, and stretched out the orchid flower with the other to point and curse: "Fuck your mother! Grandpa's business is a thousand times more urgent than marrying a wife." Ten thousand times! If there is a delay, a hundred of your heads are not enough to cut off! Even your wife, son, and grandson’s grandson will be beheaded together!"

The leader of the Jinwu Guard is a man of good things. Hearing what Xiaoxizi said, he immediately became interested, went forward and put Xiaoxizi's finger down, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Xi, what's the matter with you? Tell me." Everyone, listen up!"

Xiao Xizi smiled but didn't smile, she withdrew her fingers and dawdled on her clothes for a long time, and said with a look of contempt: "Hey, why is General Wang's mouth so sweet now? Hmph..."

General Wang just asked casually, seeing that Xiao Xizi was really putting on airs, he thought to himself: "What are you messing with me? You're just a useless eunuch..." Before he could finish his thought, there was a sudden burst of gold in his ears. The sound of intercourse.

The Xinggong Yuyuan was originally very quiet, but it was late at night, the sound seemed even more abrupt and sonorous at this moment, it made people's eardrums rupture, and it was very uncomfortable.Little did they know that this loud noise was like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves and breaking the original tranquility.

Everyone here was just startled, just raised their hearts, and before they had time to put them back into their stomachs, the voices came one after another, accompanied by the jittery sound of the wind, and after a while, they heard the panicked maids from Qinzheng Hall, scattered in all directions The voice that came said: "It's not good, there are assassins, there are assassins, and they want to assassinate the emperor!"

General Wang, who had experienced hundreds of battles, knew that something was going wrong, he pulled out the sword under his waist with a "wow", and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" Temple ran.Strange to say, these people started to run, each of them looked like ghosts and ghosts, but they were silent, like riding on clouds and fog, they could only see a flash in front of their eyes, and they "flyed" several zhang away in the blink of an eye.

*****

After hearing the word "assassination", Xiaoxizi felt as if she had fallen into a cellar of ice and fire. She felt hot and cold, not feeling well, so she trembled and thought, "It's over, it's over, assassin... Assassin... Could it be this Flying Pigeon legend?" A letter from the book? This... this... It took a few days in the past few years, why is it so fast this year? Long live, long live...you must spare Xiao Xizi this time!" He thought of this, He didn't dare to stay for a moment anymore, and followed the crowd towards Qinzheng Hall.

Xiao Xizi fell down one building and ran into the hall, only to see one floor in front, one floor in and one outside, surrounded by guards and guards, each sword was in hand, the blades were shining like stars, but no one stepped forward to make a move.Xiao Xizi was not tall, but those guards were all tall and burly, he stood behind as if he was watching a show, and all the guards shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

"You... stop talking nonsense! Give... I step down!" There was a panting sound from the circle.

Although Xiao Xizi couldn't see anything, she could only hear the voices in the circle, and she was already shocked from ear to ear.

The heavy panting sound was accompanied by the sound of "clinking" sharp weapons, Xiao Xizi could hear it clearly, that panting sound belonged to the current emperor, and that "assassin" seemed to melt into the air in the palace, even a little No breathing sound either.

Xiao Xizi was really anxious, so she crawled to the ground and saw the situation in the hall through the gap between the guards' legs.It turned out that the assassin was a masked man in black who wielded a sword.What makes this black dress different is the sleeves.For the sake of convenience, the cuffs of ordinary night clothes are tightly slammed, but this man's sleeves are fluttering, and the sleeves are wide and long, like a black cloud, rolling and relaxing with his body.The man in black only showed a pair of eyes, but even so, he could still see that his bright eyes were like lightning, shooting wisps of faint light, and shooting ice blades and cold arrows, which made people dare not look directly at him.

The man was thin and small, as light as a swallow, circling around the main hall, like an egret and a crane, dancing lightly in the colorful clouds, his beauty was unsurpassed.After a while, it was like countless black-clothed assassins surrounded the emperor.The emperor's swordsmanship is sharp, he is good at slanting forward, and he is strong in the wind. Between offense and defense, he is dignified and steady, yet agile.It's just that even though his swordsmanship is earth-shaking, he can't hit the black-clothed assassin at all, and he can't even touch the corner of his clothes.

The emperor couldn't touch the corner of the assassin's clothes, but the man in black was able to come and go freely, like a cat teasing a mouse. Seeing that the emperor had thrown out too many swords, he seemed a little impatient, so he just picked at will, and the emperor's sword Almost want to let go.At this moment, the man in black pressed lightly again, and the emperor felt that the tiger's mouth was like a mountain pressing down on the top. Suddenly, half of his body felt numb, and the burning pain was unbearable, but the sword seemed to grow in his hand and was connected to the flesh. I can't take it off even if I want to.

Only the two parties can know the taste of this, the onlookers can't see the two people's movements clearly, and they don't know the tricks. They both think that although the emperor can't win, he still won't lose.The two fought fiercely with sword energy, and the situation changed. Jin Wuwei couldn't resist the true energy at all, he felt his chest was tight, he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't help but backed away.When they retreated, they almost stepped on Xiao Xizi who was lying on the ground.Thanks to Xiao Xizi's cleverness, she turned over and rolled a few times to avoid the limelight, then stood up and squeezed forward, standing at the front.It's just that it doesn't matter that he is standing this way, after only a few glances at the two of them, he feels dizzy, and the things in front of him are wobbly and precarious.He didn't dare to look any further, he quickly turned his head and closed his eyes, but he still felt that the sword was piercing his face, so he simply lay down on the ground again, curled up in one place, and retreated.

Although the emperor was fighting fiercely, his mind was indeed not bad, and he thought: "This person's martial arts are far superior to mine. Well, my kung fu is inherited from her, so it's no wonder that I have a lot in common with this person's swordsmanship. Yes That's right, it must be someone sent by Master! This is the fifth one! But why didn't you even say a word when you came here this time? I can't handle it!" How can you think too much when a master is facing the enemy?If there is any slack, the swordsmanship will be full of flaws and flaws, not to mention that the emperor has a lot of thoughts and has no intention of meeting the enemy.The assassin also saw that his sword was in disarray, so he smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, be careful..." As he spoke, he swung his left sleeve and swept away the long sword in the emperor's hand, and then borrowed it again. After sending out the momentum, he drank a "catch" in his mouth, and only heard a "boom", the sword was actually completely missing from the pillar behind the emperor, only the hilt was exposed.

The sleeves are originally made of silk, soft and soft. Unexpectedly, this person can pierce a sword into a stone pillar with just a flick of the sleeve. If he doesn't have superb internal strength, how can this be so?The people present were all shocked.The emperor secretly cried out "ashamed", and said in his heart: "He didn't mean to hurt me, he just showed his skills. If he wants to kill me, I'm afraid I've already pierced my heart with a sword!"

The man in black settled down and stood facing the emperor, less than half a foot away.Everyone took a closer look, and saw that the man in black's long sword hadn't been unsheathed at all.Everyone seized this gap and shouted: "Guard guard! Take down this assassin!" As they spoke, countless sword lights stabbed at the man in black.

"Presumptuous! Whoever takes another step, I will chop off his feet!"

Everyone was taken aback, the person who gave the order was none other than the present Majesty.I heard the emperor order impatiently: "Back down!"

Everyone retreated as promised, and no one dared to move for a while.Only the man in black smiled as if no one else was around, lifted the veil on his face, arched his hands, and saluted: "Little girl pays homage to the emperor! I have offended you so much, and I hope the emperor will make amends!"

It's like spring flowers blooming and the autumn moon brightening.The moment she lifted the veil, everyone was shocked.Regardless of the emperor's guards, eunuchs and maids, they all stared at the man in black. Some of them had poor concentration, their eyes were protruding, and their saliva was dripping out.

Among the guards here, there are many kung fu experts.Seeing that the man in black performed the wonderful kung fu of "snatching the sword into the pillar with the sleeve", with this level of cultivation, he is at least an old man over the age of sixty.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a stunning woman.But if it's just a beautiful woman, that's all. How many beautiful women are there in the world?What's more, this is the palace, and there are as many beauties as crucian carp crossing the river, and there are as many sands in the Ganges River. Everyone has already read all the beauties in the world, and they are tired of aesthetics.But this woman in black is not only beautiful, but also charming.But her charm is like a long vine, lingering and intertwined in the hearts of people, making people feel itchy and unable to control themselves, it is really mesmerizing, just look at her, how many people can be as calm as water?Even those court ladies, who usually compete for beauty, saw this woman, apart from being amazed and ashamed, they couldn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy.

The emperor looked at the past carefully, but saw that the woman in black was only around 20 years old, with a smile on her brows, icy muscles, a slim figure, and a slender waist.Those eyes, especially are full of charm and charm, she has done nothing, but she is already extremely beautiful.The emperor just exchanged glances with her, feeling a little embarrassed, forced himself to calm down and said with a smile: "I don't think the master sent by master this time is a heroine who won't give way to a woman! Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite! "

The woman in black always had a smile on her face, she flicked her sleeves casually, she was also very graceful, and said: "Oh, I thought the current emperor was a little old man. It seems that you are really young and promising!"
