Chapter 6: Unexpected Assassin (V)

"Your Majesty, assassin..." Xu Yingyuan hesitated at the door for a moment, and finally ran in and muttered in Zhu Yinglong's ear.

"What?" Zhu Yinglong said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Xu Ruying asked when she saw his face strange.

"No, nothing, my beloved concubine, please watch here first. I have some things to deal with." Zhu Yinglong stood up and said, he didn't want Xu Ruying to know that he was assassinated.

"National affairs are important. Your Majesty, you should go. Just watch Concubine Chen here." Xu Ruying said with an understanding smile.

"Then let me work hard for you, my beloved concubine. I will look back to see you." Zhu Yinglong explained, and hurried out of Yongshou Palace with Xu Yingyuan.

"Where are people locked up?" Zhu Yinglong asked Xu Yingyuan as he walked.

"The prison room of the guard commander's squad." Xu Yingyuan followed suit and followed.

"Take me over and take a look." I really didn't expect that the assassin who assassinated him three times was captured one after another. He really wanted to see what the assassin had three heads and six arms, and he almost killed him several times!

"Emperor, the six great guards who were pursuing the assassin, one died and two seriously injured, and three slightly injured." Xu Yingyuan reported.

"So powerful?" Zhu Yinglong took a long breath of air conditioning, but then he felt relieved. He was not powerful and would not have assassinated three times in a row, and he would have run away.

"See the Emperor!"

"No gifts, just flatter you!"

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will give you extra generous gifts and allow your spiritual position to enter the Martyrs' Temple. All five of you will be upgraded to another level and rewarded." No matter whether the assassin is true or false, it is worth rewarding for their injuries.

After hearing this, the five people were very grateful. Many of them were left by the Tianqi Dynasty and left by Zhu Yinglong after inspection. Now this is much better for the emperor's master than the previous one. Not only does his family live a worry-free life, but his salary is also sufficient every month and he never defaults. He died on duty. He can also get a generous pension. His family and court will take extra care of him. He will also have an honor after his death. He can be said to be a name in history. Such a master is willing to work hard for him.

"Go to meet this assassin with me?" Zhu Yinglong said happily.

Among the five, two seriously injured could only lie on the ground, and both legs were injured and they were inconvenient to walk. Only one was left, with a lottery on his arm. Fortunately, his legs were not injured, otherwise no one would have taken Zhu Yinglong to the punishment room.

Pushing open the heavy iron door, a smell of mold came to my face. Zhu Yinglong, who was in trouble, went to the prison and asked, only frowned slightly and quickly adapted.

There was a small skylight in the punishment room, and the afternoon sunlight was reflected in, hitting a huge beam hanging frame. The man in gray was locked with shackles on his hands, feet and neck. He stood in a "big" shape on the wet ground, his hair was scattered and his head was drooping, as if he had fainted. With the refraction of light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he looked small and his body was very thin. This was the thin body contained huge lethality, which was exactly the old saying that people should not look like they were!

There was also a table in the punishment room, with various torture instruments and two stools placed in a mess. It must be for a person who executed the executioner to rest. Zhu Yinglong didn't mind the area covered with dust. He walked over, reached out to brush away the dust, and sat down and said, "Come on, tell me first how you caught this assassin."

"Report to the emperor, six of us were ordered by the emperor to pursue the assassin. Unexpectedly, just as we were about to catch up, the assassin suddenly threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and rushed into a street in a blink of an eye. The assassin was short and cunning, and was wearing ordinary people's clothes. We couldn't tell which one was the people and which one was the assassin. Fortunately, at this time we thought of tracing with a hound. We let the hound smell the scent of the bow and arrow thrown by the assassin, and then followed it behind. Sure enough, we followed the assassin to a secluded yard. Seeing the assassin changing clothes, we immediately broke into the door and grabbed it. The assassin's martial arts were actually in our sixties.

Above people, carelessly underestimating the enemy, two people were injured, and he was really powerful. The remaining four of us could even draw, and they had a slight advantage. And it seemed that we had some special kung fu, and we were slippery all over. The gripping hands of several of us were not effective at all. However, the four of us blocked her four corners, and the injured two could replace us at any time. We prepared for the wheel battle and exhausted his physical strength. We fought for nearly half an hour. The assassin was obviously not strong enough, and we were also a little struggling. Just this, the assassin suddenly threw a blue firework into the sky. We saw that something was wrong. The assassin was summoning his companion nearby. He couldn't wait for his companion.

Come here, so we fought back. The assassin used a single-edged long sword. The blade was slender, similar to the Japanese sword, but it was a little different. The sword technique was very strange and the way was not common. It was like the Japanese used it. We fought for about another pillar for a long time. Seeing that the assassin was about to overdraw and was captured, a masked Taoist priest suddenly rushed in. We were caught off guard and injured one person. The masked Taoist priest's kung priest's kung priest was far above the assassin. Five of us, two trapped the assassin, three met the enemy, and one fell to the ground seriously injured. The masked Taoist priest was so powerful. In a moment, my right arm was injured, and the other two were also covered with color. Seeing that the other two were about to capture the assassin, the three of us fought to the death.

He was struggling to hold on, and the injured brother suddenly rose up and attacked from behind the masked Taoist priest. He didn't know that his opponent was too powerful and was penetrated by a knife. At this moment, our brother arrived. The masked Taoist priest was unable to defeat him, and the assassin was pressed to a corner of the wall. He could not save him at all, so he shot a dart at the assassin, trying to kill someone to silence him. The young man didn't have time to think about it at that time. The knife in his hand came out and knocked the dart away, and finally captured the assassin alive. It's a pity that a good brother died for this!" Speaking of this, the guard's eyes were red. Everyone has lived together for so long and has a deep relationship. Now that people are dead, how can they not be sad?

Zhu Yinglong heard a few key points. First, the assassin's skills and his weapons seemed to have something to do with the arrogant neighbor of Yelang in the east, but it seemed to have nothing to do with it. Second, the mysterious masked Taoist priest, since his martial arts skills are far above the assassin, why didn't he assassin personally? If he took action, wouldn't the chance of success be very high? Third, the identity of the assassin has nothing to do with the Lan family?

"Can I go up and see what the assassin looks like?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

"Your Majesty, no!" Xu Yingyuan quickly stopped him. The assassin's ability was mysterious. If something happened, no one could afford it.

"Don't worry, the assassin has locked the pipa bones by us with special instruments, and his hands are dislocated. He faints from pain and will not be in danger."

"Oh, then I have to take a closer look at what this assassin looks like!" Zhu Yinglong stood up and walked towards the assassin hanging on the cross-beam rack.

He reached out to hold up the assassin's jaw, and a very ordinary face came into Zhu Yinglong's eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter: "It's very ordinary, nothing special!"

"Have you searched the assassin's body?" Zhu Yinglong turned around and asked.

"Report to the emperor, it's not yet. After we dealt with the assassin like this, we will heal our wounds first. Without the emperor's will, we just subdued the assassin and hadn't had time to do the rest."

"Then send someone to search for it. I want to see what is hidden in the assassin!" Zhu Yinglong put down his hand and said.

A guard came in soon, like a veteran who searched his body. He quickly found some things from the assassin, including ropes, iron hooks, a sharp dagger, and a small bag of things, as if there were some gold-creation medicines, as for some other jars and jars, many people present suddenly did not recognize them. The face of the big inner guards was too narrow, and their duty was to protect the emperor. If Xu Ruying was present, he would be able to recognize that the jars and jars contained medicines for disguise.

Suddenly, the guard who was searching for his body suddenly stopped, pulled his hand back, and said with a slightly red face: "Report to the emperor, the assassin, the assassin is a woman!"

"What?" Zhu Yinglong was shocked. He saw a couplet of a man just now, but how could he turn into a woman in one go?

"Look!" Zhu Yinglong touched the assassin's chest. When he started, he felt soft and there was no such a strong feeling as a man. There was also a strange feeling. Zhu Yinglong pulled open the assassin's collar and looked down. It turned out that he was wrapped around his chest with a white ribbon. After seeing this, Zhu Yinglong discovered a secret. Since the assassin was a female assassin, her skin should be very delicate. This little bit of whiteness on her chest has proved, but why was her face a rough man's face? After a closer look, Zhu Yinglong finally found something wrong. Although there was no obvious change in the connection between the skin, this was a very clever disguise technique. At least if you don't see the skin inside the clothes, you can't see any clues.

"Water!" Zhu Yinglongqing shouted.

“Hot towels!”

"Hiss--" A skin mask as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in front of Xu Yingyuan and the guards, shocking them all. Zhu Yinglong himself was also shocked. It turned out that there was such a magical disguise technique in the world. He used to think it was a fictional thing made by a novelist. Today he saw it with his own eyes, which was really amazing!

When Zhu Yinglong moved his eyes from the human skin mask to the assassin's face, his smile was immediately replaced by shock. How could the assassin be her?
