Chapter 531: Night Attack Habitual Offender

Zhao Ying's cold questioning voice echoed in the room.

The old man on the futon never responded at all.

Not moving!

Dead?

Zhao Ying did not move, her beautiful eyes fell on this person, but her eyes became serious.

He's not dead!

But there was no life left in him. Like a dying old man, it seems that he will die at any time.

At the same time, Zhao Ying sensed an unspeakable terrifying aura from him.

Even though she concealed it well, it still made her frown slightly and her face became serious.

She didn't know the origin of this old man who had lived for who knows how many years, at least hundreds of years old.

And exactly...how much strength does he still have?

With this thought in her mind, Zhao Ying's sleeves swayed slightly.

On the ground, a withered yellow leaf rose in the wind, cutting through the air like a sharp flying knife, heading towards the old man.

The originally fragile yellow leaves were murderous and extremely sharp at this moment.

However, when the withered yellow leaves approached half a foot behind the old man, they suddenly seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall of air, making it impossible to move forward even half a step.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp cracking sound, and the withered yellow leaves instantly shattered and disappeared on the spot, even the powder disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly condensed.

At the same time, the old man who had been silent until now finally responded. As if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, the old man's movements were slow and dull.

He moved slightly at first, and his crotched body looked particularly thin.

Then, there was a slight sigh.

"Girls nowadays are not polite at all!"

The voice was old and heavy.

As the old man slowly turned around, an old and wrinkled face appeared in Zhao Ying's sight.

There was not much dry, dry white hair left, and almost no part of the wrinkled face could be seen. The sunken eyes looked extremely small and looked a little penetrating.

Very old!

Almost at any moment he would be dying and die on the spot.

However, his sunken eyes occasionally flashed an unconcealable glint, making it difficult for people to ignore his presence.

Zhao Ying looked at him: "Are you the guardian of my royal family?"

The old man's eyes fell on Zhao Ying. He did not answer her question, but shook his head gently: "Girl, what do you want to see me for?"

"I want a reason!"

Zhao Ying spoke.

There was no expression change on the old man's face, and he said calmly: "What reason do you want?"

"Why him?"

Zhao Ying's tone was slightly cold

"Why can't it be him?"

Zhao Ying's eyes were fixed, and the coldness on her face never melted away. She said, "Back then, when Li Wushuang broke into our royal family of Dazhao, my father was seriously injured and was in danger. As the guardian of Dazhao, why didn't you show up?"

"You're talking about this?"

There was a trace of confusion in the old man's eyes, as if he was trying to remember something.

After a while, he murmured: "I finally remembered..."

"At that time, I was in seclusion and was in a critical situation. I didn't know that such a serious thing was happening outside!"

The old man was slightly moved when he mentioned this matter. It was indeed dangerous back then, and something almost happened to the Jokhang royal family.

Zhao Ying's face was still cold, and she was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"A few days ago, Zhao Jing rebelled and my father was assassinated. As the guardian of the Jokhang royal family, why didn't you show up?"

There was a hint of anger in Zhao Ying's cold tone.

As the guardian of Jozhao, he was supposed to protect the Jokhang royal family. But like an invisible person, he never appeared from beginning to end.

And why did he appear next to Zhao Jing after his father was killed and died?

This made Zhao Ying have to wonder, is there any conspiracy in this?

Facing Zhao Ying's cold questioning, the old man glanced at Zhao Ying and said calmly: "Girl, since you know the existence of the Guardian of Da Zhao, you must also know the taboos of the Guardian of Da Zhao, right?"

Zhao Ying's eyes narrowed, taboo?

She had never heard of this, and her father never mentioned it when he mentioned it to her.

The old man spoke slowly: "The guardian of Jozhao never participates in the internal struggles of the Jozhao royal family."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly condensed.

Not participating?

This guardian of Jokhang did not participate in the internal struggle of the Jokhang royal family?

Hearing this, Zhao Ying realized something, and her eyes suddenly became dangerous: "In that case, why did you stop me?"

Previously in the Health Palace, she clearly felt the dangerous aura given by the old man in front of her.

Since he did not participate in the internal struggle of the Jokhang royal family, why would he appear next to Zhao Jing at this time and stop him?

The old man sighed: "If I don't stop you, so what?"

Even if she didn't stop Zhao Ying, would she really kill Zhao Jing?

The answer may not be known.

Zhao Ying said coldly: "This is not the answer I want!"

"I'm afraid you have to ask your master about this question!"

The old man spoke calmly.

Zhao Ying was startled: "Do you know my master?"

The old man squinted his eyes slightly, as if he remembered something: "After all, your master, Nvwa, can be considered half of my apprentice."

Hearing this, Zhao Ying's expression changed slightly again.

Her master actually has such a connection with the guardian of Da Zhao in front of her?

What on earth is going on?

"My master is your apprentice?"

"Only half!"

The old man shook his head: "He once came to me to ask for my advice, and I reluctantly taught him a few moves..."

Zhao Ying's tone was light, but she couldn't calm down for a long time.

She was not sure whether the old man's words were true or not, but his words did make Zhao Ying ponder for a long time.

What is the hidden truth in this?

"I have made an agreement with your father. There are some things that I can't control. As for the answer you want, go ask your master! Your master knows more than me. He also hides a secret about the rise and fall of the Dazhao royal family..."

The old man waved his hand: "If he is willing to tell you..."

"..."

Outside the forbidden area.

Zhao Ying's figure appeared in the open space outside the door.

She stared at the forbidden area for a long time, silent.

In her mind, she was thinking about what the guardian meant by the last words?

What did he want to tell her?

And what secrets were hidden in it?

What is the secret about the rise and fall of the Dazhao royal family hidden in the master?

Zhao Ying suddenly realized that her master might be hiding some secrets that she didn't know.

Is it related to the Dazhao Imperial Family?

In that case, the sudden departure of the master from the palace for no reason a few years ago might not be unintentional?

The master might be doing something that she didn't know.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying's figure disappeared on the spot.

...

Treasure Pavilion.

Located on the lakeside in the western suburbs of the Dazhao Imperial Palace, there are treasures and treasures from all over the world.

At the same time, there are some unknown secrets hidden in this treasure pavilion.

Zhao Ying's figure appeared on the top floor of the attic.

In terms of the number of treasures, the treasure pavilion of the Qintiansi is naturally not comparable to the treasure pavilion in the palace. In addition, this treasure pavilion also contains many old secrets about the Dazhao Imperial Family.

Zhao Ying's eyes slowly swept over these books that recorded the history of the Dazhao Imperial Family, looking for something in her memory.

The next second, she suddenly noticed something and her eyes condensed.

Someone!

Why is there someone in the treasure pavilion at this time?

"Who?"

Zhao Ying said sharply, her eyes suddenly cold.

Not far away, a figure appeared in Zhao Ying's sight.

When she saw this figure, Zhao Ying's eyes were startled at first, then they condensed, and then there was a little more coldness in her beautiful eyes.

"Is it you?"

A woman in green appeared next to a bookshelf not far from her sight.

The exquisite appearance, cold temperament, and the indifferent eyes that seemed to be born appeared in front of Zhao Ying.

Li Suyi!

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Ying stared at her.

Why did Li Suyi appear in the palace? Why did she appear in this treasure pavilion?

What is her purpose?

When Li Suyi saw Zhao Ying, she seemed very calm, and said indifferently: "Can't I come?"

There seemed to be a hint of anger in the calm conversation between the two, but they fell silent at the same time at this moment.

Zhao Ying naturally didn't ask her how she got in. With their skills, they could come and go in the palace freely. It was too easy for them to sneak in quietly.

Even though she was pregnant now, it didn't affect her skills too much.

Zhao Ying's beautiful eyes fell on her bulging belly, her eyes were slightly gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

If it were in the past, the two of them would probably compete again. As each other's opponents and enemies, there was no need to say more between the two.

But for Zhao Ying now, she didn't care about these.

She was even a little uninterested.

At this moment, Zhao Ying only felt that Li Suyi in front of her was particularly annoying.

And Li Suyi turned around and left after looking at her, and her figure quickly disappeared.

Zhao Ying stood there in silence for a moment, walked to the place where Li Suyi was just now, and casually swept her eyes over the bookshelf next to her.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on one of the places.

Here, has it been moved?

What is she doing here?

This question lingered in Zhao Ying's mind. She subconsciously found a book that had been moved from the bookshelf, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.

When she opened the book, Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly shrank.

In the Treasure Pavilion, in addition to rare treasures, there are also some secrets about the royal family of Dazhao. These materials are left in the Treasure Pavilion along with some secrets of the royal family.

The book in Zhao Ying's hand records some deeds of the late queen of Dazhao during her lifetime, including the maids and guards around the queen, as well as some things in the harem at that time.

The things recorded on it are quite ordinary and not a secret.

But...

Zhao Ying's beautiful eyes sank slightly.

She was sure that Li Suyi must have read this book.

Why did she come here? Why did she read this book again?

Why did she get involved in the royal family of Dazhao?

Is it related to her mother?

At this moment, Zhao Ying's eyes became more and more puzzled.

...

Night fell, and it was late at night.

Su Mansion.

Li Beifeng, who was outside the courtyard, never waited for Li Suyi to appear.

"Sister Suyi hasn't come back yet?"

Li Xinyi's voice came from behind. She appeared behind Li Beifeng at some point and stretched her neck slightly to look outside, but could only see darkness, with no human figures.

"Sister Suyi probably won't be back tonight..."

Li Beifeng stared at the darkness not far away, sighed slightly, and then turned back to the courtyard.

Not far away, the lights in Su Shan's room were dimly lit.

The room was very peaceful and peaceful.

On the bed behind the screen, Su Shan was leaning against the bed. Beside him, there were two maids looking after him.

"Master Li?"

When the maid saw Li Beifeng appearing, she immediately bowed and backed away.

"How are you?"

Li Beifeng came to the bedside, looked at Su Shan on the bed, and asked.

Su Shan raised his head slightly and his eyes fell on Li Beifeng.

Her face was not pretty, a little pale, and her lips had no color. She trembled slightly, but didn't say anything, just shook her head gently.

"Have a good rest, your body is a little weak, you should rest more..."

Li Beifeng spoke up, paused, and then spoke again: "During my absence, have you been tormenting yourself again?"

Su Shan seemed to have a guilty conscience and subconsciously avoided Li Beifeng's gaze and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Li Beifeng already knew the answer.

However, seeing her haggard look at the moment, he didn't say anything more.

After learning about Su Shan's life experience, Li Beifeng inevitably felt a little compassion in his heart.

Her mother betrayed her, and she was left alone. She was poisoned and assassinated since she was a child, and she lived in danger all her life.

This is unimaginable suffering for anyone.

"What about him?"

At this time, Su Shan suddenly spoke softly again.

"He's not dead!"

Li Beifeng shook his head.

Su Shan lowered her head slightly and said in a deep tone, "Am I too kind?"

"Why do you say that?"

There was an indescribable heaviness in Su Shan's voice: "I originally thought I hated her so much. If I could get revenge, I would not hesitate to kill everyone related to her... But, in the end, I realized that I couldn't do it. Hand. Even if I hate her so much, even if her son is right in front of me, I still can't do it..."

"It's not your fault!"

Li Beifeng shook his head gently.

She had never killed anyone before, so how could she kill someone without any trouble?

Even when Li Beifeng committed murder for the first time, he could not remain indifferent.

This is not considered kindness, but rather a kind of kindness!

There is nothing wrong with being kind, especially for Su Shan.

"Your choice is not wrong. He has already received the cruelest revenge. Not killing him may make him feel more uncomfortable than killing him..."

Li Beifeng spoke softly.

Su Shan's eyes were slightly stunned.

After a moment, she looked at Li Beifeng, and after a moment of silence, her eyes were a little more grateful: "Thank you for comforting me."

"Don't think so much. It's getting late. You should have a good rest. We'll talk about anything tomorrow!"

Li Beifeng spoke softly.

"Um."

Su Shan nodded slightly, her eyebrows looking a little tired.

Li Beifeng waved gently, signaling the maid to leave. Then he left the room and closed the door gently.

Turn around and go back to your room.

It was getting late, Li Xinyi had already gone back to his room to rest, and the courtyard fell into silence.

Li Beifeng returned to his original room. The furnishings in the room were still the same as before he left last year.

The room was clean and stain-free.

Apparently, the room was still being cleaned while he was away.

Li Beifeng took off his coat and then lay on the bed.

He waved his hand gently and extinguished the oil lamp.

The room fell into darkness.

Li Beifeng was lying on the bed, thinking about his next plan.

This trip to the palace was a failure. Zhao Ying's obstruction caused his entire plan to fail. Not only failed to kill Zhao Jing, but also failed to rescue Xie Waner.

However, things are not completely without room for maneuver.

Emperor Zhao is still in his hands.

Although he didn't come back alive, at least he wasn't dead yet. As long as he doesn't die, he can play a great role in Li Beifeng's hands.

Hold the emperor hostage to order the princes!

This is the biggest handle Li Beifeng has on Zhao Jing now. As long as Emperor Zhao is alive and in his hands, it means that Zhao Jing has a remote-controlled bomb on his body.

He can be blown to pieces at any time, and there will be no recovery!

However, how to take advantage of Emperor Zhao requires Li Beifeng to think carefully.

At this moment, slight footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.

The footsteps gradually approached and appeared outside the door of the room. The next second, I heard the room door being carefully pushed open.

In the darkness, a sneaky figure quietly slipped into the room.

The movements are skillful and the steps are light.

Clearly, he is a repeat offender at first glance.

…
