Chapter 1144: Ouchi
Mortal bedrooms are all called sleeping rooms. But within the confinement of the Emperor, it is called Da Nei.
The place where the real dragon lives is a place that cannot be seen by mortals. Therefore, in addition to the palace guards, there are also some experts who specialize in protecting the emperor in the palace.
These masters are either loyal eunuch slaves trained by the royal family. Some of them have gone through numerous screening tests before entering the palace. They are subject to the palace's forbidden poisonous poison and specialize in protecting the emperor's safety.
Not all of these people came here for glory and wealth, a considerable part came for the continuation and development of the sect, and some came for personal development and the various martial arts secrets collected in the palace.
But no matter which type of person they are, there is no doubt that these people are the top masters in the world. Today, Su Yi and the other three are bound to face an inevitable fierce battle!
After Su Yi searched hard, the three of them finally found the Xingsheng Palace where the emperor rested for lunch.
This is the palace where the queen lives. Emperor Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty doted on his queen very much. His queen was a Korean and the first foreign queen in Chinese history, known as the "Queen Qi" in history.
According to a eunuch who passed the meal before, the emperor wanted to drink mutton soup after waking up, and the soup must be sent to Xingsheng Palace while it was hot.
Therefore, Su Yi judged that the emperor was resting at noon in Xingsheng Palace.
Xingsheng Palace is very large, with a large palace garden that turns around and enters in four directions. The eunuchs are like clouds and the palace maids are like forests.
The guards guarding the palace were brightly armored and mighty. They took three steps per post and five steps per sentry, completely surrounding the entire palace.
Just breaking through the outer defenses took a lot of time and energy from Su Yi and the other three people. However, after arriving inside the palace wall, the three people discovered that the real test had just begun.
The palace building is located in the center of the entire palace garden. There is a flat open space of several hundred meters around the palace. No matter which side you want to approach, you must pass through this open space.
Here comes the problem. At the end of the open space on all sides, under the eaves of the palace building, there are guards standing guard. This means that when you get here, unless you dig a tunnel and get through, you will be exposed anyway.
There are only about a hundred of these guards, which is not too many, but it is not certain how many masters are guarding secretly. Even Su Yi cannot judge, because the real masters are very good at hiding their aura and will not let anyone know. Other experts can easily sense it.
Su Yi could only rely on his own intuition and experience to judge. In the four corners of the attic on the second floor of the palace, he could faintly see a figure standing still. He must be a master of guarding.
And this is just the periphery. There must be experts guarding the palace. Even whether it is the emperor or the queen, there must be personal experts as the last line of defense to protect the emperor.
Therefore, even though he had gone through eighty-one hardships and reached a place only separated by a wall from the emperor, if he wanted to see the emperor himself, he would have to go through five levels and kill six generals.
Su Yi and three other people hid in a corner of the pavilion under the rockery in the forest garden, staring at the palace not far away.
Su Yi had no way of judging the layout of the palace. At this point, there was no way to take advantage of the situation. The only way to go was to go head-on.
Su Yi knew very well that the key to capturing the emperor and escaping unscathed lay in four words - quick victory!
Once you are entangled by the imperial masters, once you are escorted away by the imperial guards, it will be extremely difficult to get close to the emperor.
There are not many opportunities left for Su Yi.
Su Yi took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai. The latter two's faces were full of determination and solemnity at this moment.
The plan had been made long ago, and for this assassination, Su Yi even taught Master Miejie a set of "assassination techniques".
It is said to be "the art of assassination", but it is actually a set of swordsmanship derived and optimized from the Sunflower Book. It is as fast as lightning and astonishingly powerful.
Su Yi was taking care of Master Miejie's face, so he didn't directly complain about her low martial arts skills.
But there are only two people, Su Yi and Zhang Sanfeng, and the manpower is really stretched. One more person will kill them, at least 10% more certainty.
Miejie's understanding is very high, and her martial arts attainments are good. She also masters the martial arts taught by Su Yi quickly, so she is half a percent more confident.
Su Yi looked serious and made gestures to act according to the plan. Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie nodded in unison.
The two of them looked at each other, and their inner energy suddenly shot out, one high and one low, one back and forth, and flew away like a tired bird throwing itself into the forest!
Canglang!
With two clanging sounds in no particular order, the two of them crushed the crutches in their hands almost simultaneously in mid-air, revealing the long swords in their hands.
It was at this moment that several figures in several rooms inside the palace who were closing their eyes to rest opened their eyes.
Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai are extremely fast, and the distance of several hundred meters is just a matter of breaths for them. However, the Imperial Guards who can guard the palace are all the best among the best, and their reactions are also extremely fast!
"Enemy attack!" In the corner of the second floor, a blond man with blue eyes shouted a warning in Mongolian. He flicked his hand and saw a string of iron beads shooting towards Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie.
At the same time, figures in the other three corners of the second-floor attic flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Imperial Guards guarding outside the eaves downstairs also reacted. They raised their crossbows and fired at the flying Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai.
Just like poking a hornet's nest, Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie were attacked fiercely and decisively before they could take action!
Ding Ling clang...
Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie danced their long swords in their hands almost at the same time, but when they saw sparks bursting out, all the crossbow arrows and iron beads bounced away. Before the wave of shots was exhausted, the two of them rushed to the eaves of the palace. Blood splattered in a second, and murderous intent spread instantly!
These forbidden troops all have some martial arts skills and know how to attack in a military formation, but what they encountered was Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie!
Zhang Sanfeng's swordsmanship is elegant and sharp, one sword is used for one, and there is no need for a second sword to kill someone!
Miejie Shitai learned Su Yi's sword skills, and his moves were fierce and fast. Even if there was a slight obstacle, with the sharpness of Yitian Sword that can cut gold and break iron, he was invincible and killed without any obstacles!
The man who fired the steel ball from the second floor landed like a big bird, roared loudly, and grabbed Zhang Sanfeng's head with one hand.
Zhang Sanfeng was fighting in the crowd, but without looking back, he picked up a person and faced him with four ounces of force.
puff!
But the sound of broken bones was heard instantly, and the man who was picked up by Zhang Sanfeng didn't even have time to groan. His big head was grabbed and smashed to pieces. It exploded like a broken tomato, and red and white things flew down from the sky!
This is the pure Eagle Claw Skill. With this skill, even the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tian is slightly inferior in front of him!
But before the blood mist dissipated, the Eagle Claw Skill saw a sword pierce the blood mist and suddenly hit him, it was extremely sudden!
The Eagle Claw Skill was not afraid in the face of danger, and he flipped violently in mid-air, dodging Zhang Sanfeng's sword. However, before he could stabilize his body, he caught a glimpse of a silver-white sword from the corner of his eye and struck him in the middle.
He felt a shiver in his heart and hurriedly used the technique of a Thousand Jin Drop to make his body fall sharply to the ground, once again dodging Master Jue's tricky sword!
After dodging blows from Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai in succession, he used the Eagle Claw technique to stick to the ground in a snake shape, trying to get rid of the pursuit and then get up to fight back.
But at this moment, Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie Tai worked in tandem, attacking from both sides, blocking all his ways.
Eagle Claw Kung Fu's expression changed dramatically, and he roared back like a trapped animal, using moves as fierce as death, trying to survive in death.
But how many people in the world can match the joint attack that Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai have practiced?
He blocked Zhang Sanfeng's sword, but was eventually defeated by Miejie Shitai's sword!
As blood spurted out, Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie turned around without hesitation and attacked the attacking guards again, and then they all threw themselves into the palace gate!
As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw three figures rushing toward the two of them!
It was the three masters who were in the other three corners of the second-floor attic!
One of these three people is extremely powerful and uses a sword with a ring-headed sword, which is a lost sword technique of the Taihang sect; one uses a staff and actually uses the devil-subduing shovel among the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin; the last person has sharp swordsmanship and ruthless moves. He is fierce and cruel, and he actually uses the Huashan Sect's special swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship is much higher than that of the Huashan leader Xian Yutong and the elders.
These three masters are considered to be the top masters in the world in the outside world. Even if they fight alone, the former Master Jiejie has never been able to win, but in this deep palace, they are just nameless guards.
Seeing the three masters coming, Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie quickly changed their bodies, one behind the other, back to back, and launched a fierce counterattack!
At the same time, there were numerous figures in the depths of the hall, and a few powerful auras came without concealment.
At the gate of the main hall, the Imperial Guards with bright armor were swarming in.
Further out, the security forces who had received the warning were urgently gathering to surround the entire Xingsheng Palace!
Almost immediately after Zhang Sanfeng and others entered the palace, Su Yi turned into an arrow and flew towards the palace.
At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie who rushed in, and no one noticed Su Yi's existence at all.
Su Yi was like a big bird gliding to the vicinity of the main hall. Suddenly, his energy suddenly rose sharply, soaring into the sky like a swallow through the clouds, and reached the attic on the second floor.
When they arrived at the second floor, they first saw the four-sided corridor that surrounded them. Su Yi turned into an afterimage at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a door leading to the inner room, and entered the door in a flash.
Su Yi saw at a glance that a fierce fight was going on below the hall. Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie were fighting with three masters. Surrounding them were seven robed men with buns in buns holding long swords. They stood in the direction of the Seventh Palace of the Big Dipper. The fighting group surrounded them, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
There was also a red-robed lama and an old eunuch with an astonishing aura on the periphery, staring intently at the awakening field. Three rows of guards were densely arranged in the upper, middle and lower rows of the gate, with crossbows and arrows in their hands aimed at the middle.
Just looking at this situation makes people despair, let alone trying to break into it or fight!
Su Yi just glanced at the battle group and then drifted away from the hall from the other side.
The lama in red seemed to be aware of something, and he suddenly looked up, his eyes like lightning, but he didn't notice anything.
He was slightly suspicious, but finally returned his attention to Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie.
Two screams were heard in the field at this moment, but it was Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie who cooperated to kill, causing one death and one injury.
The one who used the sword died, the one who used the sword broke his arm, and the one who was left with the iron staff retreated in time without being injured.
As soon as they retreated, seven robed Taoists attacked together. The seven attacked Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai in a unique rhythm. The sword formation was dense and the attacks were like waves, endless.
Zhang Sanfeng and Miejie Shitai felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They fought hard with more than ten moves. Although they finally killed seven people, they did not cause any damage and were unable to break out of the battle formation.
However, Master Miejie used the Yitian Sword to cut off three long swords. It would only be a matter of time before the formation was broken.
"The Big Dipper Formation of Quanzhen Sect? Great, it really lives up to the reputation of your ancestor!" Zhang Sanfeng recognized the origins of these seven Taoists and couldn't help but say.
This was a compliment on the surface, but it was actually a satire.
What a hero Wang Chongyang was back then? He was determined to fight against foreign races all his life, but his disciples and grandchildren colluded with the Tartars, and now he has come to the palace to become a lackey of the court.
The seven Taoists showed anger, but their expressions were also extremely solemn and shocked. Obviously, the strength of Zhang Sanfeng and Nun Miejue was far beyond their expectations.
"Are you the nun Miejue from the Emei Sect?" On the periphery, the red-robed lama recognized the Yitian sword in the hands of Nun Miejue, and suddenly said in half-baked Chinese with a cold tone, "Very good, very good, it seems that the Emei Sect no longer has any need to exist in this world!"
After a pause, he looked at Zhang Sanfeng and asked, "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Zhang Sanfeng to speak, another old eunuch with a strong aura stepped forward and grinned, "You are so daring that you dare to go deep into the palace to assassinate His Majesty! No matter who you are, you will not be able to escape the disaster of the nine clans being exterminated!"
"Kill!"
Nun Miejue and Zhang Sanfeng had no intention of talking nonsense with them. The two of them rushed into the formation again in tacit understanding.
Sure enough, in less than two breaths, two Taoists were killed by Zhang Sanfeng and Nun Miejue respectively, and the Big Dipper Seven Stars Formation collapsed without attack!
Buzz buzz buzz... The red-robed lama suddenly threw out a golden wheel and swept towards Zhang Sanfeng.
At the same time, the eunuch in gorgeous clothes screamed and rushed towards Nun Miejue.
As they left, a figure suddenly flashed in the place where they were standing, and then there was another eunuch. The eunuch squinted his eyes and looked at the martial arts of Master Miejue in doubt. He felt that it was very similar to the martial arts he learned, as if they came from the same source...
In the main hall of the Queen's bedroom, there were heavy curtains, and more than ten maids were calmly interweaving between the curtains, helping the emperor and the queen to change clothes.
Four eunuchs with ruddy faces and white hair stood on the four sides of the dragon couch, and near the door, there was a lama and a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes standing solemnly.
These six people were also the emperor's secret guards, masters among masters, and the last line of defense to protect the emperor's safety.
A slightly dignified male voice came from behind the curtain: "The palace is heavily guarded, but the thieves suddenly appeared in this Xingsheng Palace. How did they get in without alerting the heavy guards? How did they know I was here?"
A long-faced eunuch bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there may be an insider leading the way."
"Insider?" The emperor was suspicious and slightly angry, "Whose people? Could it be the prince's? What does this rebellious son want to do!"
