This Is Your World

Chapter 698 Who Is Cicada?

It was a quiet night, dark and windy.

In the Dazhao Imperial City, the Dazhao Imperial Guards in dark blue robes stood majestically under the eaves of various houses, taking turns to change shifts.

Not far away, there was a line of patrolling Imperial Guards.

Everything seemed so peaceful.

However, this calmness was vaguely accompanied by a hint of sharp coldness.

It was particularly cold on this cool autumn night.

At the same time, in the Dazhao Imperial Palace, in the small courtyard on the other side of the east side, a dozen black-clothed figures suddenly appeared. They jumped up, easily climbed over the wall, stepped lightly on the eaves, and took advantage of the night to rush towards the direction of the harem.

Not long after, several figures landed silently outside the high wall.

"Puff!"

Before the guards guarding outside the high wall could come to their senses, they were silently wiped off their necks by these figures.

After dealing with the guards at the door, the dozen figures climbed over the high wall smoothly and fell into the courtyard.

Then, they headed towards the room of the highest building.

In the dark night, a dozen figures touched the outside of the eaves room in an instant.

Holding their breath, someone quietly poked a hole in the window and blew something into the room.

Not long after.

"Kill!"

A cold shout.

At the same time, a dozen black shadows broke through the doors and windows from all directions and broke into the room.

The vision in the dark room was dim, and it seemed that there seemed to be someone on the bed. The swords in the hands of a dozen people were aimed at the bed in the room and chopped.

In an instant, the bed was chopped into pieces!

"Huh?"

Something's wrong!

At this moment, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The person on the bed... is not a person? !

For a moment, the eyes of a dozen people suddenly looked over, but found that there was no one on the bed except the quilt that they had chopped into pieces.

Where are the people? !

Where did they go? !

The expressions on the faces of more than a dozen people froze, and the next second, as if they suddenly realized something, they showed a solemn and terrified look on their faces.

"Falling in a trap?!"

The dozen people who realized something was wrong quickly turned around and wanted to escape from the room.

However, the next second!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

In the dark night, countless cold crossbow arrows fell into the room from the windows outside the door from all directions.

"Ah!"

The people in the room became live targets directly, and people were constantly shot and screaming.

The rest of the people held swords and knives, while repelling and blocking crossbows, and killed their way out of the room.

Outside the room, the night was as dark as ink.

In the courtyard, more than a dozen guards holding crossbows stood outside the door, and the cold crossbows were aimed at them.

At the same time, outside the crowd, a young man was standing outside the crowd, watching them quietly.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

It was Li Beifeng.

"Fooled!"

How could the remaining figures not know what happened when they saw this scene?

"Kill!"

However, the remaining few black-clothed men did not retreat, but attacked Li Beifeng directly.

In the night, the murderous aura was full.

Li Beifeng stood in the yard, frowning suddenly.

He had known for a long time that someone might come to attack him tonight, so he made preparations in advance.

Sure enough, there really was someone.

But what he didn't expect was that these people did not run away after being exposed, but continued to rush towards him?

"Stop them."

Li Beifeng spoke expressionlessly.

The dozen guards in the yard pulled the crossbows in their hands again.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The cold crossbow arrows pierced the air and went towards the black-clothed men.

The dense crossbow arrows came out in an instant, accompanied by two screams, and the crossbow arrows pierced the figures of two more black-clothed men.

But there were still eight or nine people left, and they still rushed into the yard.

When they reached the open space in the courtyard, the crossbows would not be of much use.

The dozen guards in front of Li Beifeng immediately put down their crossbows, drew their swords and fought with the black-clothed man.

The sound of swords and swords rang out instantly!

As soon as they met, the guards on Li Beifeng's side were hit repeatedly, and several of them fell down instantly.

These black-clothed men who appeared were covered with black clothes and tightly wrapped, and their martial arts were even more unfathomable.

On the other hand, the guards on Li Beifeng's side were all servants and guards brought from the Xie family when Xie Wan'er got married.

As soon as the two sides met, the difference was immediately determined!

"Who is it? How dare you break into the Queen's bedroom?!"

At the same time, several guards came from the other side of the mansion.

But before these guards got close.

"Boom!"

A strong explosion suddenly broke out in front of the hall not far away.

At the same time, several figures appeared from around the hall. From all directions, the entire palace was surrounded tightly.

"What's going on?!"

For a moment, the guards in the palace were panicked.

What happened?

Why are there so many assassins?

This, this is the Dazhao Palace!

Why did so many assassins suddenly appear?

Where are the imperial guards?

What's going on? !

"Quick, go and report to the emperor!"

There was a panicked voice from the guards.

But soon, there were screams.

Then, the hall, the front and back yards were instantly in chaos.

At the same time, seven or eight men in black dealt with the guards in front of them, and at the same time set their sights on Li Beifeng in the yard.

Li Beifeng stood still, quietly watching the approaching guards, with a slight smile on his face.

As expected!

Zhao Jing still attacked him!

The guards in the Dazhao Palace were so strict, and there were so many assassins. The answer was self-evident.

Facing the approaching black-clothed men, Li Beifeng stood still.

"Kill!"

The next second, these black-clothed men showed their sharp edges and came towards Li Beifeng from all directions.

Their order was to kill all the people here tonight!

No one should be left alive!

Especially... this person in front of him!

When these seven or eight black-clothed men approached, the silver swords illuminated the world.

At the same time, Li Beifeng also took action.

He flicked his sleeves, and the sword that had fallen on the ground flew into his hand.

Then, Li Beifeng stabbed a sword!

The mighty internal force exploded with the sword in his hand.

"Bang!"

The violent explosion instantly blew away the two closest men in black.

The remaining men in black were also horrified at this moment, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

This man, this man...

Is his internal strength so deep?

Isn't it said that this man's strength is only second-rate?

How could it be? !

This kind of strong internal strength is clearly the strength of a first-rate master.

He, he is already a first-rate master? !

After a brief loss of consciousness, the remaining men in black did not hesitate at all, gritted their teeth, raised their swords again, and attacked Li Beifeng.

At the same time, the entire harem hall was in chaos.

Countless men in black fell into the hall and started a melee with the guards in the hall.

And outside the palace, there were already countless fully armed and densely packed imperial guards guarding and surrounding it.

"An assassin broke into the Queen's bedroom. We are ordered to arrest the assassin. Before that, no one is allowed to leave. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"

The cold armor and solemn Dazhao Imperial Guards surrounded the entire hall.

Tonight, no one can leave here.

...

At the same time.

It was late at night.

A carriage slowly came from outside the palace gate to the south gate of the palace.

"Stop? Who is it?!"

Outside the gate, the Imperial Guards stopped the carriage.

No one is allowed to enter the palace during the curfew.

At this time, the carriage approached, sneaking around, something is wrong!

The Imperial Guards drew their swords to stop the carriage and walked forward.

However, when he looked up and saw the person sitting in front of the carriage, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his tone was horrified: "Long, long princess?!"

Outside the carriage, Zhao Ying glanced at the general expressionlessly: "What? You want to stop me?!"

"I, I don't, dare not..."

The general's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he dared not breathe.

He still remembered the extraordinary heroic figure of the long princess who fought against a hundred people alone outside the palace gate a few months ago.

The unfathomable martial arts left him with an indelible shadow in his life.

Now, the long princess was right in front of him, and the general of the imperial army trembled all over.

"Long, long princess, the palace, the palace has been under curfew, any, any..."

The general's stuttering words were not finished, and he was interrupted by Zhao Ying coldly: "Get out!"

The cold words were without a trace of emotion.

No doubt.

As the most legendary long princess of Dazhao and the former leader of the Qintiansi

Her reputation was enough to scare people.

The general of the imperial guards did not dare to stop her anymore, and waved his hand quickly: "Open, open the palace gate!"

The palace gate slowly opened, and Zhao Ying drove the carriage expressionlessly and slowly entered the palace.

Outside the palace gate, several imperial guards watched the princess enter the palace.

"Don't you stop her?"

A subordinate next to him couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty has ordered that the princess must be killed..."

However, before the subordinate finished speaking, he was glanced at by the general of the imperial guards coldly: "You go and kill?!"

The subordinate swallowed his saliva immediately, he went to kill?

How could he have the courage?

The commander of the imperial guards took a deep look at the princess' back entering the palace, staring at the carriage, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"Quick, send someone to inform His Majesty immediately that the princess is back, and I'm afraid the purpose is not that simple!"

"Yes!"

In the dark night.

Several figures quietly took advantage of the night and quickly came to the outside of His Majesty's bedroom.

Outside the door, stood an old eunuch, squinting his eyes and resting his mind.

This old eunuch has a very deep qualification in the palace. He has served three generations of emperors and has a pivotal position in this palace.

At this time, he was standing quietly outside the hall.

"There is an urgent report!"

Two imperial guards quickly stepped forward, but were stopped by the old eunuch outside the door.

"It's the middle of the night, His Majesty has already gone to bed, what's the urgent matter?!"

The two immediately bowed and said: "General Manager, the palace gate has an urgent report, the eldest princess has returned to the palace, the situation is urgent, please ask the general manager to report this matter to His Majesty quickly, just in case!"

Now the imperial guards of the Dazhao Palace have long been replaced by a group of people. Most of the imperial guards now are Zhao Jing's confidants promoted.

After hearing this, the old steward opened his eyes suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your hard work, generals. I will report this news to your majesty as soon as possible."

"Then I'll trouble you, steward!"

The two imperial guards brought the news and then left.

The old steward turned around and walked towards the palace.

However, when he just walked out of the palace, he stopped again.

He looked back and saw that it was empty.

But there was a faint light of fire in the bedroom where the queen was not far away.

A trace of gloom flashed across the old eunuch's eyes, and then disappeared.

He stood there and did not move again.

As if nothing had happened.

Inside the hall, the lights were dim.

Zhao Jing sat on the dragon bed, staring at the chessboard in front of him.

Opposite, He Jing sat in his clothes.

The two were playing a game.

Silence, silence, and the sound of the chess pieces falling.

"I lost!"

After a long time, Zhao Jing sighed, accompanied by a somewhat lonely voice: "I can't win."

He Jing on the opposite side shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. Your Majesty's chess skills have improved a lot now. In time, you will definitely surpass me."

"How long will it take?" Zhao Jing asked.

He Jing said: "Your Majesty is naturally intelligent. If you concentrate on learning chess, you can surpass me in one or two years at most."

"What about him?"

Zhao Jing suddenly asked again.

He Jing was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.

The "he" in your Majesty's mouth was naturally Li Beifeng.

That guy's chess skills are not worse than his own. If your Majesty wants to catch up, I'm afraid...

However, your Majesty is really just talking about chess skills?

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

He Jing's tone was slightly depressed: "Calculate the time. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be dead now!"

At this point, a trace of cold pride flashed in He Jing's eyes.

This time, in order to kill Li Beifeng, they set up a net of heaven and earth.

Several top masters were drawn from the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and then a large number of Imperial Guards were sent to surround the Queen's bedroom.

To be safe, your Majesty even drew two palace attendants to go there.

These two priests were all first-rate masters at the time, and one of them had even reached the threshold of super first-rate.

It was more than enough to deal with Li Beifeng.

They just needed to wait quietly, and someone would send Li Beifeng's head to them.

However, Zhao Jing frowned and said silently: "What if something unexpected happened?!"

He was always a little uneasy, and vaguely felt that things tonight were not simple.

Not that easy!

"Impossible!"

He Jing shook his head and said: "A year ago, Your Majesty tested his martial arts when he was in Chaoyang County? He was only third-rate in the world. Now a year has passed, even if he is lucky, he is at most second-rate. We sent so many masters this time, and even super first-rate may not survive... Your Majesty can rest assured that he will never survive."

Dispatching so many masters and formations just to kill Li Beifeng is already enough caution and respect!

Li Beifeng was almost given no chance to survive!

How could he survive? !

Zhao Jing remained silent.

That's the truth.

However, before he saw Li Beifeng's head, he was still uneasy.

"Come, I will play another round with your majesty, how about that?" He Jing saw that your majesty was frowning, and comforted him.

"No!"

Zhao Jing shook his head and slowly stood up: "I will go and see it myself!"

He was still uneasy because he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

Seeing this, He Jing hurriedly stood up to support your majesty, helped your majesty to tidy up his clothes, and said worriedly: "Your majesty, I'm afraid there will be danger?!"

Zhao Jing didn't say anything, but just walked out the door. Seeing this, He Jing had to hurry up and follow.

However, at this moment.

"Bang!"

The door that was originally closed suddenly seemed to be knocked open by something.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room, and it was chilling.

Zhao Jing and He Jing looked out the door at the same time, but...

There was nothing outside the door, and it was pitch black.

There was nothing!
