Fifteen miles east of Liuheyuan, there is a river, like a trickle of jade belt, flowing from south to north.

Although there is a moon, thin black clouds cover most of the moonlight. The dim moonlight shines faintly on the earth, and the shadows of people cast on the river, like countless wronged ghosts standing by the River Styx in Hell.

Thirty men, thirty swords, thirty bows, and three hundred arrows!

Covered from head to toe, only thirty pairs of eyes like wild wolves and poisonous snakes are left. No matter who it is, being stared at by one of these eyes may tremble with fear. If such thirty pairs of eyes stare at the same person,

It might scare him to death.

These people may not have very high levels of warriors, but their killing methods are definitely not weaker than those of high-level warriors, and their methods are even much better.

A true warrior pursues the secret and essence of martial arts itself.

These people only pursue murderous methods and use all possible means to kill their targets.

If they faced each other head-on, they would be easily defeated by martial arts masters, but if they did not follow the rules, they could kill warriors whose Tao scores were much higher than theirs.

The man holding the lantern slowly walked out of the crowd.

He was dressed in a gray robe, with only two cruel and indifferent eyes exposed from his whole body, and he was holding a lantern in his hand.

It was a palace lantern, exactly the same as the yellow palace lantern that Mr. Guo hung outside Liujin Courtyard in Liuheyuan. It glowed with a faint yellow light. On the lampshade of butter paper, seven large characters were drawn with a brush: "Sun, Moon, Stars and Dusk".

The palace lantern swayed gently, and its faint light was like a guiding lantern by the River Styx.

The gray-robed man's voice was calm and indifferent: "Remember this lamp and kill everyone inside."

Thirty pairs of sharp and cruel eyes stared at the palace lantern, as if they were implanting every detail of the palace lantern into their minds.

Soon, the man in gray robe took out another painting from his arms and opened the scroll. The painting on it was of a person, a child of more than ten years old. The features and eyes were none other than Liu Jin, the grandson of Prince Qian.

"This is your goal." The man in gray robe said coldly: "Kill him!"

After confirming that these people had memorized the images in the painting, the man in gray robe led the scroll into ashes in the palace lantern.

"Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu!" The man in gray robe said slowly.

If this is a name, it would be better to say that these are just three code names.

Three masked men in black clothes came out in response.

"The three of you, each lead a team of ten people each, and enter the hospital from three sides!" The man in gray robe ordered: "Don't act rashly until you see the palace lantern. Once you see it, you will be killed without mercy!"

All three should be at the same time.

"My sons, go, your feat tonight will earn immeasurable benefits for yourself and your family." The man in gray robe waved his hand and pointed directly in the direction of Liuheyuan: "Kill!"

The three groups of men and horses were like three bolts of lightning, flashing at the same time. Under the dim moonlight, they divided into three groups and sneaked towards Liuheyuan like ghosts in the dark night.

When the real army arrives, they may not necessarily be able to enter Liuheyuan quickly, but for this group of experts who have been engaged in dark night activities for many years, they have no doubt that they will easily sneak in even if Liuheyuan is heavily protected.

If there really are humans similar to ghosts in this world, they must be this kind of people.

"Can they succeed?" A strange voice suddenly came from behind the man in gray robe, like an old man sighing before he died.

"No." The man in gray robe said simply.

"Then you let them die?" Amid the sigh, an old woman who looked very old appeared slowly. In the middle of her eyebrows, there was a small tumor, which looked very strange, just like the people on the Naihe Bridge.

Po Meng drinking the ecstasy soup.

She was using a crutch as thick as her arm, which looked very simple.

"It's not about dying!" The man in gray robe said calmly: "It's about dying worth it."

"What difference does it make?"

"Sending one's death is just to die in vain, and death is worthwhile, which means that their death will bring us a lot of help." The voice of the man in gray robe was full of indifference and cruelty.

The old woman sighed softly and said nothing.

The man in gray robe sneered: "With that woman's cunning, it is impossible not to guess that this group of people will appear. She must be fully prepared there."

"She is waiting for you to enter the urn!" the old woman said with emotion as she looked at the sons and gentlemen walking away.

"If the attack is too simple and too weak, she will definitely be on guard. But this group is the elite that I have carefully cultivated, and there is even a chance of success. If the woman wants to extinguish them, she must put a lot of thought and effort into it."

The price will be heavy." The man in gray robe said coldly: "After such a powerful attack, she will definitely think that this is our all-out effort. After a fierce battle alone, her guard will definitely relax.

This relaxation also contains our opportunities.”

"Chance?"

"Yes!" The man in gray robe nodded and said, "My killing move is at this moment."

The old woman pondered for a moment, sighed, and said with a sigh: "I hope their deaths will not be in vain, and I hope your killing move can really do something!"

The man in gray robe was the only one silent, and finally said with an extremely certain voice: "Definitely!"

When Xue Poye heard Eunuch Guo's voice, he immediately went out, closed the small door of the back room, and quickly came to the front hall.

Xiao Shitou hid behind him obediently, and Eunuch Guo also walked outside the hall door. He looked at Xue Poye who came through the door with a smile, and even said with some intimacy: "Are you still busy? Let's go to our house.

When I get here, I’m very thirsty and want to ask for a cup of tea, but I don’t know if it’s convenient or not?”

"Convenient, convenient!" Xue Poye laughed and said, "Of course it is very convenient."

I invited Eunuch Guo to sit down at the table, poured tea, and asked, "Eunuch, haven't you rested so late?"

Eunuch Guo glanced around and saw the teacup left on the table, which was the teacup Liu Jin had just drunk the drug from. He asked, "So you have guests here?"

Xue Poye laughed and said: "It's just that my sister is bored and came over to talk. There are no guests. I am not familiar with the place here, so there are no guests. I am afraid that I want to make some good friends, but others will look at me.

Not okay? Just like I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with my father-in-law, can he like it? Haha...!"

Eunuch Guo laughed twice, took a sip of tea, and then said in a low voice: "The yard is not peaceful at the moment. Everything is a little tight. After this period of time, everything will be fine."

Xu Poye pretended to be confused and said: "It's not peaceful? Why is it not peaceful? I think it's good?"

Eunuch Guo looked at Xue Poye with a sympathetic look, laughed twice, said nothing more, just lowered his head and drank tea.

Xue Poye looked sideways at Eunuch Guo. It must be strange for this damn eunuch to suddenly come here at this time. However, Xue Poye really didn't know why he came.

It would be too weird to say that he came because of Liu Jin. Even if he wanted to put Liu Jin down, he had just decided a moment ago. How could Eunuch Guo know?

Seeing Eunuch Guo drinking tea slowly, listening to something from time to time, and really not planning to leave soon, Xue Poye felt a little anxious.

In the Liuheyuan, the outside infiltrators were silent and divided into three groups to wander around the huge palace.

Even if the vigilant guardians found clues, the clues were extinguished in just an instant, and everything returned to calm. This group of murderers shuttled through the Liuheyuan in an orderly and intelligent manner.

In this palace, the guards brought by the eldest princess and the guards previously arranged in the courtyard total more than 300 people, scattered in every corner of the palace. There is no doubt that in the eldest princess's Chanjuan Garden and the courtyard where Liu Jin lives

Outside, the protection is the most stringent.

Guards in the light and hidden in the dark are always alert to the arrival of assassins.

Ever since the assassination of Liu Jin, as the captain of the Habayashi Guards and the chief of guard of the eldest princess Luan Jia, Ding Yi has always been conscientious and conscientious, even wishing to keep his eyes open when sleeping.

Being appointed as the captain of the guard this time and leading the Yulin Guard to protect Luan Jia is undoubtedly an affirmation of his ability.

The Habayashi Battalion is the Royal Guards, belonging to the inner court guard force. It has nothing to do with the three garrison armies of Kyoto. It is mainly responsible for the security of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.

The purple men of Kyoto Prefecture are responsible for the security outside the Kyoto Imperial Palace, while the Habayashi Camp is responsible for the security of the inner court.

If the purple clothes of Kyoto Prefecture still have mixed meanings, then the assessment of Habayashi Wei is much more stringent. In addition to the personal abilities of ordinary people, their family and growth history will be strictly scrutinized.

The late emperor once said: "Compared with loyalty, there is no one better than Yulin!" This shows the status of Yulin Camp in the hearts of the royal family.

And every Habayashi guard in the Habayashi camp does have a strong personality and loyal beliefs, and has become a personal talisman of the royal family.

Yulinying's allegiance is to His Majesty the Emperor and the entire royal family!

As a long-tested Yulin Guard, Jia Dao was well-known in the Yulin Camp, and even served as deputy commander in this guard. However, he turned back and assassinated Liu Jin in front of the Jade Archway.

Loyalty has been greatly tested.

Many people in the Yulin camp had a vague idea in their minds that they dared to think but dare not say: "Which noble person instigated Jia Dao to do the crime?"

Everyone knows that except for the royal family, it is really difficult for external forces to penetrate into the Yulin Camp, let alone bribe the Yulin Guards.

Behind Jia Dao, there is of course a pair of irresistible hands controlling him.

Ding Yi drank wine, his expression gloomy, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

Liu Jin's courtyard looks very simple, but few people know how difficult it is to enter that ordinary courtyard. In addition to a few Yulin guards appointed by Eunuch Qin, there are other people in the courtyard.

Weird stuff.

Even the majestic Yulin Guards Commander cannot be relied upon easily.

Although most of the things ordered by Eunuch Qin are very simple, no one dares to violate these simple things. Just like when Liu Jin arrived one day, Eunuch Qin just ordered that no one except the Yulin Guards whom he appointed should come near the courtyard.

, this order also became a prohibition.

Thinking that the annoying eunuch Guo could occasionally pass by that courtyard in his capacity as a deacon and eunuch, and even that inexplicable pair of siblings lived next to the courtyard, Ding Yi was itching with hatred.

However, this kind of hatred did not keep him silent for too long. A rapid sound of flute and bamboo suddenly sounded in the silent night sky.

A cruel sneer appeared at the corner of Ding Yi's mouth, it was finally here!

Xue Poye and Eunuch Guo heard the harsh sound of bamboo flutes at the same time.

Eunuch Guo, who had been drinking tea in silence, made Xue Poye want to beat him up. His expression suddenly became weird. He couldn't help but stand up. He only stood halfway and saw Xue Poye looking at him with a very strange look.
