Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Some were terrified by the assassins in the palace and hid themselves from place to place.

Some were in a state of enjoying the show, but they also acted as if they were worried about the emperor, thinking that there might be assassins and his majesty's birthday banquet would be ruined.

Under the thunderous wrath, the palace gates were tightly closed. Although the banquet was still going on, it was not as comfortable as before.

Everyone was worried that they might accidentally become associated with the assassin.

How could a little assassin get into the palace? Moreover, the security was tight today. How could someone have sneaked in with a weapon?

Fortunately, His Majesty was not injured.

At the banquet, no matter how exquisite the delicacies were, they were no longer delicious. The officials' relatives put down their chopsticks and quietly asked the people around them to check the number of dishes.

Only the foreign envoys were still feasting on their food, and they continued to eat even after the translator beside them explained the emergency.

Guards with swords came out from every corner and surrounded the banquet. The envoys put down their wine and

Xiao Zhengdu, wearing a black official uniform embroidered with a flying eagle and a half-length sword on his waist, strode in.

His obvious mixed-race face and extremely tall stature were very eye-catching, and he also enjoyed the fearful and daunting looks from others. He clasped his fists and said,

"Your Majesty has ordered! Strictly check those entering the palace! Please keep a close eye on your servants and don't be like King Jin, who failed to judge people and allowed assassins in."

Speaking of King Jin, everyone looked at each other. Some of the brave ones carefully asked Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu,

"How is the Holy Body, Your Majesty?"

"As long as Marquis Wu'an and Duke Zhenguo are here, we will be safe." Xiao Zhengdu thought about the news. Lou Xiao had already picked up his sword and chased the assassin.

As someone who had tested her before, he was eager to see her true strength.

But now he and she are on two different paths, so he is afraid they will not meet.

"King Jin...are you planning a rebellion?"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately refuted, "Nonsense! King Jin is respectful and humble, and has never had any intention of disobeying his will. It must be that cunning villain who is trying to sow discord between Your Majesty and King Jin!"

Xiao Zhengdu smiled, "The assassin was the wet nurse of Prince Jin's children. Lord Wu seems to know Prince Jin very well. Could it be that they are very close?"

This was the time when Prince Jin was most suspicious. If he wasn't careful, his property would be confiscated. Lord Wu, who was refuting, stammered when he heard this.

"King Youshan, you are joking. How could this humble official have any relationship with King Jin..."

Xiao Zhengdu's eyes were light, as if to say, do you think I'm joking?

This incident caused everyone to be silent. No one spoke. The guards searched carefully again, and the foreign envoys stared at Xiao Zhengdu without blinking.

He lowered his head and communicated with the people around him.

In addition to the families of officials, there were also young children who came to the birthday banquet. They all clung to their parents in fear, with panicked eyes.

Xiao Zhengdu softened his voice to soothe people.

"You all don't have to be afraid. If you are innocent, His Majesty will not blame you..."

Before he finished speaking, the child lying in his father's arms stretched out his fat finger and pointed at the eaves of the palace not far away and shouted, "Look! A big bird!"

Everyone was frightened by his sudden shout and their hearts skipped a beat. Then they looked in the direction he pointed, but they saw not a big bird, but two people.

On the eaves, a nimble figure, wearing the most common gray-purple clothes worn by low-ranking servants in the palace, ran away with extraordinary agility.

Following closely behind her was a young woman in red holding a sword, with long hair flying and clothes fluttering.

They were quite far away, so the crowd could not see their faces clearly. The smarter ones stepped back with a serious face, looking at the tables, chairs and exits to prevent any possible danger.

Those who were not very perceptive stood up and squinted their eyes, asking the people around them, "Who is so bold as to cause chaos in the Qinzheng Palace..."

Then he thought of something, and immediately fell silent, secretly looking at Xiao Zhengdu's expression.

Xiao Zhengdu waved his hand and led his men to the Qinzheng Palace. Lou Xiao had already driven the assassin to the top of the palace. They must not let the other party blend into the crowd and escape from the palace in the chaos.

As Prince Youshan and his guards left, the rest of the people began to whisper, "Who is that? Is he the commander of the guards around His Majesty?"

However, the official uniform of the commander of the guards was not of such bright colors, and Marquis Wu'an was a burly man.

I couldn't guess it for a moment.

However, the old ancestor of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who was supported by Yu Jinghe, recognized him. After all, when Lou Xiao went out with them, although he was covered by a dark-colored lion-patterned outer robe, a corner of the crimson brocade clothes underneath was revealed.

"She is the Duke of Zhenguo, Lou Xiao." Yu Jing held the old man's hand and stood up straight. "But how can an ignorant villain be her opponent?"

Duke of Zhenguo?

The illegitimate daughter of the Lou family who was said to be "skilled in martial arts" and looked very beautiful and came from the common people?

At this time, there were countless people who were looking up and witnessing the arrest of the assassin.

Lou Xiao was holding a sword on the roof of the Qinzheng Palace, and said to the already desperate assassin, "Give in and tell us who is behind this, and maybe you can get your body intact."

Behind him, countless guards and soldiers were chasing after the young woman who he couldn't shake off.

On a day when the palace is decorated with lights and is bustling with activity, it is difficult to escape.

"Heh... running dog of the imperial court! I'm going to leave! What can you do to me?!" The stubborn assassin shot a flying knife from his sleeve and was about to jump off the eaves with a strange body movement.

Lou Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He tilted his head slightly, turned his wrist holding the sword, and the flying knife fell with the sound of metal contact.

Her figure quickly appeared at the place where the other party was about to jump down, with the sword in her hand shining coldly. She did not use any killing move, but wanted to force the other party to retreat back to the eaves.

The flying knife was useless, and she was very good at dealing with him, as if she was very familiar with her martial arts. The assassin became more and more frightened, stepped back a few steps, gasped and asked,

"Who are you!"

Lou Xiao put away his sword and stood up, glancing at the falling flying knife with a look of hesitation and certainty in his eyes, "You are a member of the Tang family."

He didn't know what the other party was up to, but someone told him where he was coming from. Seeing that he had nowhere to go, the assassin simply tore off the human skin mask on his face and stood up.

On the roof of the temple, he laughed wildly in the cold spring wind, "So what?! I, Tang Wangxing, will not change my name or surname! I have never thought of living since I came here today!

It’s a pity that Qiansi Haoyu failed to kill the dog emperor... and was stopped by you, a running dog! "

Under the tangled hair was a weather-beaten face of a woman, with bloodshot eyes and full of resentment, "You have unparalleled martial arts skills, but you are willing to be a lackey of the imperial court! You bring shame to the martial arts world like us!"

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao sneered and said, "Martial arts people? There are rules in the martial arts world. Sects are not allowed to participate in court disputes, assassinations, or assassinations."

She pointed her sword at the aging woman, "The people of the martial arts world are upright and upright, chivalrous and moral are the most important. And what are you doing?"
