Take the combination of heaven and earth to determine the universe, shake the towering five mountains and get the nine tripods!

Liuheyuan is located in the lush Jiuqu Forest, with nearly a thousand miles of dense forest, Jiuqu River, bead curtains and jade belts, where various birds can freely shuttle, and there is even a place for hunting in the west.

The name of Liuheyuan is very simple, but this place is not simple.

It is said that there are more than 500 large and small pavilions, with exquisite workmanship and elegant environment. The most important thing is that this place, like Wulan Villa, is a royal palace, one to the west and one to the east, forming horns with each other.

It's a bit interesting to say that Wulan Villa is usually visited by the male family members of the royal family, but in this Liuheyuan, most of the people who come are the female family members of the palace, such as concubines, princesses, princesses, queens, etc., and even the Empress Dowager is occasionally interested.

, will also come here to relax.

This is also a really great villa with beautiful scenery.

The eldest princess's team arrived at Liuheyuan in the middle of the night. The non-stop journey made the team look exhausted.

When the deacons of Liuheyuan saw the arrival of the eldest princess Luan Jia, they were naturally very busy. By the time they finished arranging everyone's food and accommodation, it was already close to dawn.

Xue Poye and Lady Lu were arranged in an exquisite small courtyard, not far from Princess Yi's residence. Next to the courtyard was a gurgling stream, adding a touch of life to the quiet courtyard.

Xue Poye sat on the stone bench in the yard. Although the scenery here was unique and the climate was pleasant, he was in a bad mood.

Eunuch Guo told several Yulin guards to "protect" Xue Poye. Naturally, what he really meant was to monitor Xue Poye's actions and not let him leave.

It's really weird tonight. There is no moon in the sky. Thick black clouds cover the sky. If it weren't for the bright palace lanterns, we would really not be able to see the beauty of this Liuheyuan.

Although Liuheyuan is silent and looks extremely peaceful, people who understand this place know that under the night, behind every leaf and stone in Liuheyuan, there may be a terrifying murderous intention hidden behind it.

Xue Poye held the glass cup and stared blankly at the rockery in front of him, his brows furrowed.

The greatest terror in the world is not the past or the present, but the future.

Deep in Xue Poye's heart, he vaguely felt a fear that even he couldn't clearly distinguish, a fear of being at a loss about the future.

In the eyes of the eldest princess, no matter how capable she is, she is probably just a tool in her hand. Now she is closely monitoring this tool that has some edge. What exactly does she want to do?

The green lady was sitting by the bed, with her hands on the window sill, looking at Xue Poye's back with a pair of fox eyes, a worried look on her face.

It was quiet in the courtyard, and even in the neighboring courtyards, there was silence. In everyone's minds, everyone thought that the eldest princess might have been deposed to Liuheyuan by His Majesty the Emperor, so the eldest princess must be in a very bad mood now.

, no one wants to make the eldest princess unhappy at this time.

Xue Poye finished his glass of wine and was about to pour it when a bolt of lightning as bright as day suddenly struck from the sky. In just a short period of time, there was a thunder that shook the world and shook the hearts of the people.

The wind picked up, blowing the flags of the trees, making a whining sound, as if they were mourning. Just when Xue Poye walked back to the house with a wine jar in his arms, heavy raindrops had already fallen from the sky.

The wind was strong and the rain was pouring down. Soon, the intensity of the heavy rain made it difficult to see the situation ahead, and everything in front of you was covered in white.

Just when the thunder exploded, no one noticed on the west path of Liuheyuan, two horses, one in a million, were one behind the other, falling towards Liuheyuan like meteors.

The horse is like a dragon and the man is like a fierce tiger. As if they had expected this heavy rain, both of them were wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, covering their bodies and heads tightly, only exposing their wild pair.

Wolf-like eyes.

This is a small door, so there are only two Yulin guards guarding it without interest. They are both sitting in the pavilion in front of the door. In the dark night, the two of them do not look conspicuous.

"There is someone!" A Yulin guard heard the rapid sound of horse hooves in the rain and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handle of the knife.

The Yulin Camp is an elite division, and the Yulin Guards are all very capable. Everyone has extremely high alertness and excellent skills.

Another Habayashi guard also held on to his saber, listened carefully, and said in a deep voice: "There are two horses."

The two Yulin guards did not wait long. In the blink of an eye, two lightning-quick horses were galloping over. They were about to pass the pavilion and crash into the small door.

"Stop!" Yu Linwei shouted in a deep voice, tightening his grip and about to draw his sword.

The two Habayashi guards had quick hands and drew their swords even faster. In their previous actions, they always drew their swords very quickly, and even cut the blade into their opponent's neck very quickly, watching helplessly.

Blood spurted out from his neck, turning the blade red.

But today's situation is so weird that it's unbelievable.

The moment the two Feather Guards drew their swords, the blade was only half pulled out, and two figures flashed, like ghosts, behind the two Feather Guards in the blink of an eye.

The two sharp daggers, like cutting tofu, gently grazed the throats of the two Yulin guards at the same moment.

The blood bloomed like flowers, and looked extremely gorgeous under the palace lantern. The blood sprayed on the white palace lantern, dyeing it red. The originally bright light turned a little dark red at this moment.

A Yulin guard's throat spurted blood, and while he was dying, he actually spit out two words: "Ghost...Ghost Valley...!"

After uttering these two words, Yu Linwei fell to the ground at the same time, twitched twice, and never moved again.

The rainstorm outside the pavilion was even more violent, as if a huge hole had been pierced in the sky, and God was sending people to pour bath water into the ground.

The two horses stood quietly in the pouring rain, just like their owners, they looked well-trained.

The two men in bamboo hats reined in their horses and cut their throats to kill people in an instant. Everything was extremely fast, yet so calm and natural.

Although the throats of the two Yulianwei were slit, the daggers of the two men in bamboo hats were not stained with even a drop of blood.

After putting away the dagger, a man in a bamboo hat took out a small purple porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the cork, and poured some powder into the open mouths of the two Yulin guards. Then he put away the small purple porcelain bottle without saying a word.

He rushed out of the pavilion hesitantly, like two geckos that cooperated skillfully, holding on to the bluestone wall that was not too high, and climbed into the yard in twos and twos.

Two horses stood quietly outside the courtyard.

In the pavilion, the bodies of the two Yulin Guards began to slowly shrink. Starting from the face, they slowly melted. The skin and flesh were like snow flakes in the hot spots, slowly turning into blood, extending to the entire head, and then the neck.

, and then down, down, everything including the clothes melted into blood.

Another gust of wind blew by, and the two pools of blood were blown away, and soon not a drop was left.

The two Yulin Guards were truly dead at this time and completely disappeared from this world.

Eunuch Qin is the most respected person in the world by the eldest princess. No one even knows that Eunuch Qin is the godfather of Princess Yuan.

It is really unbelievable that a royal eldest princess with a high status went to worship an old eunuch as her godfather. Fortunately, not many people know about this matter. Maybe there are only two people in this world.

The person involved knows that there is more to life...!

The place where Eunuch Qin lives is in the outer courtyard of the eldest princess's palace. It is as big as a woodshed, but it is kept extremely clean and tidy.

It was pouring rain outside, with strong winds, and thunder bursts from time to time. According to those wonderful sayings, there were too many bad people in the world, and God couldn't stand it anymore, and he was ready to kill a few of them.

But how many people in this world are not bad people?

At least Eunuch Qin felt that he was a bad person.

He is not a sneaky and rogue bad guy, nor is he a ruthless and hopeless bad guy who has killed countless people.

Eunuch Qin thinks he is a bad person, and he has his own reasons.

Unlike most people, what he calls "bad" refers to his body, which is already necrotic compared to normal people.

Topless, Eunuch Qin sat by the water tank.

He is already very old, as his withered face and the wrinkled fleshless skin on his face have proven this, but who would have thought that such an extremely old eunuch in his twilight years would have his upper body as white and greasy as a baby

tender.

From the shriveled nipples downward, it is delicate pink and crystal clear, all the way to the waist.

That is a body that even the most beautiful and youngest girl cannot have, but it appears on such a monster-like old eunuch. Compared with the dry and old skin at the joints, the delicate and smooth skin is like heaven and hell, which is unbelievable.

But if you look more carefully, you can find that on the smooth baby-like skin, there is a thin layer of ice, faintly exuding cold air, and next to Eunuch Qin, the hot water in the water tank is emitting heat, slowly

The thin ice on Eunuch Qin's body slowly melted, and the ice water turned from the thin ice flowed down his skin like tears.

Eunuch Qin closed his eyes and assumed a very strange posture, like a toad, leaning forward slightly.

The sound of footsteps came from the yard. It was so light that it was even obscured by the sound of the storm, but Eunuch Qin heard it clearly.

Soon, footsteps walked directly to Eunuch Qin's door, and two figures were reflected on the paper window, standing still and not even making a sound, standing there like two stone sculptures.

Eunuch Qin was also expressionless, still half-crouching with his eyes closed, letting the thin ice on his body melt quickly.

Of course he knew that the two people outside were not assassins. Being able to bypass the many guards and reach the outer courtyard of the eldest princess's palace was already an amazing skill. But in the world, there were no people in the world who could enter the outer courtyard under the eyes of Eunuch Qin.

There will never be more than five. If any one of these five comes, Eunuch Qin will consciously wait for his death.

This outer courtyard is very quiet. With Eunuch Qin sitting here, of course there is no need for any other guards. Even if Eunuch Qin can't deal with someone, even if there are more people here, it will be unnecessary.

When all the thin ice on Eunuch Qin's body melted, the old eunuch took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and made a few strange movements. Then he stood up tremblingly like an old man, shaking his head.

He muttered in his mouth: "It's an opponent, and it actually cost me most of an hour."

This is an incomprehensible statement because only he can understand it.

"Come in!" After the old eunuch put on his clothes, he sat on a chair by the table, made a cup of strong tea, and then called calmly.

With a flick of his finger, the previously locked door latch was opened. The people outside the house opened the door and walked into the house. Then they turned back and closed the door. Then they all walked up to Eunuch Qin, bending down with great respect.

But he didn't speak.

"Say!" Eunuch Qin took a sip of tea and then gently pulled his gray head with his dry fingers like a woman.

These two people were the men in bamboo hats who had just cut throats and killed people in the pavilion. Their bodies were covered with rainwater, which flowed down and fell to the ground, forming small puddles one after another.

"Secret order!" A man in a bamboo hat whispered: "There is no other reason to guard the boy!"

Eunuch Qin was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Where are the people?"

"Master said that you have spies here, which may be detrimental to the boy." The man in the hat said slowly: "So after the boy arrives, you have to ensure that before the boy leaves, no one here can leave with the news, let alone let the boy leave.

Anyone entering Liuheyuan."
