[mouse cat] special way

The weather in March is always changeable. After the Grain Rain, the weather gradually turns warmer. At night, the cold wind is still a bit freezing.

A masked man in black climbed on a big tree outside the Xihua Gate, hiding his figure among the less dense branches and leaves, staring intently at the depths of the palace gate.Outside the palace gate, Bao Zheng's sedan chair was still parked where it was, and the bearers were resting and chatting.Lord Bao has been in the palace for a long time, the man in black narrowed his eyes slightly, and planned to find a free space to sneak into the palace and listen to secret discussions.

An iron claw flew over and suddenly hooked his shoulder.The man in black's eyes widened in surprise, and before he could react, he had already been ripped off the treetop by the flying claws and fell to the ground.He immediately understood that he had been spotted, and he drew out his dagger to meet the enemy, but saw a silver light flashing in front of his eyes, and his throat felt cold, and he lost all strength in his body.

He was lying on the ground like a dead fish, trying in vain to cover the wound on his neck, but he could only move his fingertips slightly.Someone lifted his feet and dragged him to a place.He, who had not yet lost consciousness, saw a few people like him in his overturned field of vision, with bleeding profusely from his neck and his limbs twitching endlessly.

Before sinking forever into darkness, only one thought flashed through his mind - it was over.

The commotion not far from the door naturally attracted the attention of the patrolling sergeant, and a group of Royal Forest Army went to the past.

"Who?!" The team leader pointed his gun at the masked man in purple and asked loudly.

The man in purple didn't speak, just took out a token and threw it to him.The team leader took it over and took a look, and returned it with both respectful hands.

"The lower officer is stupid, and I have delayed my work." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and quickly left with his soldiers to continue patrolling.

The starry sky above the head was covered with dark clouds at some point, and the cool wind suddenly picked up, making people shiver.The team leader clenched the gun in his hand, feeling as if the mountains and rain were about to come, and it seemed that tonight was destined to be a restless night.

At the same time, in an ordinary dwelling in a small alley in the northwest of the imperial city, a large number of masked men in purple clothes secretly surrounded the small courtyard airtightly.

Dark clouds billowed, and there was a rumbling rumble in the distance.

"Not one." The leader gave an order coldly.The people in purple moved all over the nest, and ghostly figures passed through the doors and windows of the houses in the small courtyard. Blood was sprayed on the wall, and there was a little bit of heat, and the owner of the blood had long since died.

"Fight with them!" The black-clothed leader roared through gritted teeth, and the subordinates who were still alive around him also roared and rushed forward with their knives in hand.The wind howled, the thunder and lightning flickered, and the big drops of rain finally fell.

Black clothes and purple clothes are entangled together, swords and swords are fighting for their lives, and the big blood flowers gradually fade in the dense rain curtain.

Amidst the roaring thunder, the sound of clashing swords gradually subsided. Under the slaying of enemies whose numbers were several times their own, all the men in black finally fell to the ground. The men in purple walked past the corpses with their swords in their hands. Just make up for it.

A dying man in black secretly reached out and shot a sleeve arrow at a certain place under the eaves.The arrow whizzed past, knocking off the cover of the pigeon cage under the eaves, and a group of white pigeons flew out.

"Shoot all the pigeons down!"

Whoosh, whoosh—the hidden arrows of feathers and arrows flew by one by one, and a pigeon was released to fly out.

The leader in purple frowned slightly, flew a sword and killed the man in black, and instructed his subordinates to clean up the courtyard.

In a simple tea shop outside the Luhe Gate, Li Yuanhao and several close subordinates were waiting for news from spies in the city.Suddenly, a white pigeon flew and stopped on the railing. One person caught the pigeon and found no secret letter, so he sent the pigeon to Li Yuanhao in confusion.

Li Yuanhao was also fiddling with the dripping pigeon in doubt, and suddenly frowned and said "no", broke the neck of the pigeon, and then ordered everyone to leave the tea shop immediately.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating a somewhat hunched figure on the city wall. The man leisurely stood leaning against the wall with his hands behind his back, and a person behind him stood silently holding an umbrella, watching with him the figures of those people riding their horses to escape.

"My lord, do you want to chase?" asked the man in purple who was holding an umbrella beside him.

"No need, don't chase after poor bandits." The Eighth Sage King shook his head coldly. Who knows if this person still has an ambush in the Song Dynasty?He turned his head, glanced at the blood-stained subordinate kneeling behind, and asked, "Is it all taken care of?"

"Yes, please don't worry, my lord." The kneeling purple-clothed humane said, got up and presented a small cloth bag.

"Tell Nianqi to leave immediately. The rest will be handed over to that person." Eighth Wise King glanced at the shadow that could no longer be seen clearly in the distance, sneered, and ordered, "Prepare the car, this king is going to enter the palace. "Li Yuanhao, let you know how powerful I am this time, let's see if you still dare to bully me.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, what's going on?!" Zhan Zhao rushed in, stood aside and stared at the emperor who was leaning against the imperial case.

"Guard Zhan..." Seeing that Zhao Zhen didn't respond, Bao Zheng turned his head and whispered admonishing, and at the same time lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty knows that Guard Zhan is only worried about the safety of the princess, and has no intention of bumping into Your Majesty."

Zhan Zhao bit his lower lip, knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to the emperor: "Your Majesty has been disrespectful, please punish me."

"It's okay, please stay flat." Zhao Zhen finally came to his senses, waved his hands to get the two of them up, and slowly walked back to the dragon chair to sit down.

Bai Yutang frowned and pulled Zhan Zhao up, staring dissatisfiedly at Zhao Zhen who was still looking down at the paper.He hadn't read the man's confession, and he didn't know why Zhao Zhen had such a big reaction.However, he was more concerned about the situation of that girl Chunni.Zhao Ling had already disappeared. If anything happened to Chunni again, the cat would definitely die of guilt.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was a little stagnant, and for a while, no one spoke.A gust of cool wind blew open the half-closed windows, blowing away the dullness and depression in the house.The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the big trees outside the imperial study room were blown loudly, and I don't know how many branches and leaves were broken.The sky was densely covered with dense clouds, covering the sky and the earth, with white electric lights faintly flickering among the rolling clouds.There was a muffled thunder, and there was a low and long-lasting rumbling sound in my ears.

Bai Yutang gradually clenched his right hand, feeling so depressed for the first time, Zhao Zhen obviously knew something, but kept it secret, could it be another shameful matter of the royal family?It's okay to turn a blind eye on weekdays, but now that it's about Chunni's safety, why are you still so hesitant.Could it be that this person's daily love is fake? !

That's right, why did he forget that the emperor can even marry his own sister to the enemy leader, so how could he care about Chunni, a righteous sister who came halfway?

A scornful smile crept up the corner of the man in white's mouth, just in time to meet the slightly raised eyes of the emperor in yellow.

Zhao Zhen's pupils shrank, and his left hand hidden under the table tightly grabbed the hem of his clothes.He took a deep breath, loosened and tightened his hands, tightened and loosened again, hesitated for a long time and finally said: "It's not that I don't want to explain, it's just that the late emperor is involved at this time, and I don't even know some key points."

"I am willing to ask the emperor to clear up his doubts." Bao Zheng cupped his hands, neither humble nor overbearing.There was a look of gratitude in Zhan Zhao's eyes, and the meaning of these words would be different when asked by Mr. Bao.

Zhao Zhen sighed, Bao Qing, are you interrogating me?

"It's a long story," Zhao Zhen opened the paper, laid it flat on the imperial case, and said softly, "Presumably Bao Qing also knows about the 'Book of Heaven'."

Bao Zheng nodded, the most absurd years before the death of the late emperor were all caused by this disturbing "book from heaven".

"Actually, the 'Book of Heaven' is not a scroll, but five pieces of jade bamboo slips named gold, wood, water, fire, and earth." Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled wryly, walked to a shelf at the side, took out a scroll, and slowly unfolded it.

The scroll of gold is sure to win, the scroll of wood is all things, the scroll of water wins people's hearts, the scroll of fire gathers gold and silver, and the scroll of earth paints life.The five volumes of the Heavenly Book have their own strengths, and they both generate and restrain each other.If you get one of them and make good use of it, you can realize your wish.

However, the Heavenly Book is a bloodthirsty monster after all. While using the Heavenly Book to gain benefits, the user's mind and life will also be devoured by the Heavenly Book.

The most important point is: these five pieces of jade slips must not be combined together, and the combination of five volumes will change the dynasty and destroy the world!

Everyone in the room listened to Zhao Zhen's narration quietly, feeling that this matter was really incredible.The child does not talk about strange powers and chaos, is there really such a supernatural thing in the world?Bao Zheng stroked his beard, the last period of the late emperor was indeed... But this does not mean that it was really caused by the so-called "Book of Heaven"...

"I only know so much about the 'Book of Heaven'. Bao Qing, I have the same doubts as you, but I don't dare to take it lightly." Zhao Zhen put away the scroll, "After all, the example of the former emperor is there , I can’t tolerate my doubts.”

He picked up the confession, frowned and continued: "I once got four pieces of this heavenly book, and later the Liao Kingdom stole the scroll of soil, which caused the disaster of Tianmen Formation."

Bai Yutang opened his eyes wide, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be? That gate formation evolved from the 'Scroll of Earth'?"

"That's only part of the power of the 'Book of Earth'." Zhao Zhen sighed, "The Liao Kingdom didn't know that these four heavenly books were all sealed by the royal secret law, and their effectiveness was greatly reduced. They just arranged according to the scroll. The eleventh of the power of the formation is not yet available." I don't know if this is luck or misfortune?If the Book of Earth had not been lost, there would have been no such war at all; but if the power of the Book of Heaven had been fully used, the casualties of the Song Kingdom would have been even more tragic.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand something." Zhan Zhao said, "Na Dingyuan clearly said that the 'Tuzhi Scroll' was hidden in Kaifeng Mansion, how could it be in Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at him: "The scroll of earth is too murderous. It was indeed in the Kaifeng mansion at first, but it was stolen by the Liao state. There is no heavenly book in Kaifeng mansion."

Bao Zheng nodded. That's the reason. No wonder the Xia people didn't dig out anything in the prison in Kaifeng Mansion.

"However, there is only one heavenly book in the Great Song Dynasty now. Someone stole the 'Fire Scroll' from the palace 20 years ago. Afterwards, I used the 'Water Scroll' to pretend to be sealed in the tomb of the former emperor." Zhao Zhen clenched his right hand into a fist , leaning heavily on the imperial case, "The 'Gold Scroll' is sealed in the Chongxiao Tower, and it may have fallen into Xia Guo's hands now."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, then asked, "Your Majesty, you have said so much, we still don't know what it has to do with Princess Sheng."

Zhao Zhen's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "The way to seal the heavenly book is to sacrifice the blood of the royal family's children. If you want to break the seal, you must also use the blood of the clan's children." This is why the royal family has always attached great importance to the management of the clan's children. , because their blood is the key to unlock the shackles of monsters.

Rumbling—cracking—crashing——

There was a thunder outside the window, and between the lightning and thunder, the torrential rain had already poured down.

"Your Majesty, you mean that Xia Guo knew the way to break the seal, and they married the princess because of..." Bao Zheng opened his mouth slightly, this...how could it be like this?

"I hope they don't know about this." Zhao Zhen said, "Otherwise Chunni will replace Lingling..." Now, shouldn't he be glad that Lingling was taken away, and Chunni was the one who married?

"No! Chunni is fine." Zhan Zhao knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to allow me to bring the princess back."

"This..." Zhao Zhen looked at the person kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, "I have already told the world that Princess Xu is married, if she suddenly repents, I'm afraid Xia Guo will embarrass Da Song if she doesn't know the secret of Tianshu."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to secretly pick up the princess." Zhan Zhao begged.He can't let Chunni have trouble, absolutely can't, he can't be sorry to the master anymore.

"Guard Zhan, get up quickly." Zhao Zhen took two steps forward, helped the young man up, held his arm and said, "I don't want anything to happen to Chunni either, but I can't have things happen for no reason."

"It happened for no reason?" Bai Yutang sneered, "Do you believe it or not, the official, I have the ability to make the princess disappear on the road without anyone noticing, so that Xia Guo can't catch anything wrong?"

"White guard speak carefully!" A cold voice came from outside the door, and the Eighth Prince walked in with a gloomy expression. He glanced at Bao Zheng coldly, bowed his head and saluted Zhao Zhen.

"The emperor's uncle is free." Zhao Zhen said indifferently, "The emperor's uncle is visiting late at night, so he has something important to report."

"Yes, I have something to report." The Eighth Prince threw the cloth bag at Bao Zheng's feet, and said almost gnashing his teeth, "The Kaifeng Mansion has done a good thing, and let the people of Xia Guo spy on my Da Song secret letter under their noses."

The cloth bag was scattered, and a few pieces of broken copper and metal fell out. Bai Yutang picked it up and saw that it was indeed the token of Xia Guoyipintang.
