Chapter 1108 Assassin
After saying that, he asked again: "The palace has been restless recently. The emperor and his grandson often scream and howl in the middle of the night. I don't know why. There are rumors inside and outside that it is... someone's ghost is causing trouble."
"The old monk has begged the masters for help in many ways, but all to no avail. The gentleman has amazing magical powers, and Jiedu is immune to all evil. The old monk would like to ask you two to think of ways to break this evil and protect our Amaterasu lineage.
Roots."
Shao Bowen said: "The king of the country has now changed his destiny. He has already enlisted the help of God and offered auspicious signs. Luck has begun to change, and evil spirits and demons should naturally retreat."
"In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked for his brother Meng's life and ordered Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong to guard him. Then I and Zhang Jiedu will guard the palace of the little king for one night to see what's weird."
Bai He was overjoyed: "This will bring Mr. Lao Shangguo and Zhang Jiedu."
Ping Zhengsheng said: "When I put on the peach treasure armor, I will guard it with the little king!"
…
At night, Toba's bedroom was unusually quiet.
Outside the gate, Ping Zhengsheng was fully clothed, with a dragonfly in his hand, sitting on a stone bench, his armor shining brightly under the light.
The reflected light projected the runes on the armor onto the palace wall, and the magical rune brilliance made the ladies passing by admire General Ping.
This is the man who can give people a sense of security. It would be great if I could give birth to a monkey for him.
However, Zhang San and Shao Bowen disappeared.
Shao Bowen lit a stick of incense for Toyu to ensure that no thunder would wake him up tonight.
Then he took Zhang Qi and wandered around the palace, looking for clues.
The back garden of Toba is very beautiful. Shang Gong followed two figures who were already known as gods in Japan, but he couldn't figure out their whereabouts.
The places Shao Bowen checked were the toilets, the maids' rooms, the storage room, the sewers in the garden, the moss on the walls...
A lot of prohibited items were found, such as the antlers used by the palace maids to play with, and Mrs. Tang, which made Shang Gong feel embarrassed and embarrassed.
Shao Bowen didn't take it seriously, smiled gently, and asked Shang Gong not to punish the maids.
However, Shao Bowen gradually became surprised. There must be an expert hiding in the palace.
Moreover, this person's methods are very cunning. The entrance to the sewer is very small, but the algae and moss on the side have obviously been scratched, indicating that someone has used it to get in and out.
There are also moss marks on the plum tree in the back garden, and there are two broken marks, which are the marks of the teeth of clogs.
Then the man climbed up the tree, jumped up to the palace, and finally...
Shao Bowen cast his gaze on the roof of the palace.
At this moment, a fire broke out somewhere, and Shao Bowen asked: "Where is that?"
Shang Gong was shocked: "That's the dining room."
Shao Bowen said: "Let's go and have a look!"
…
When everyone was in a panic, a maid held a tea tray and gently entered the bedroom.
"Master, it's time to take the medicine..." The maid's voice was gentle.
However, the elbow and armpit transformed, and behind the maid, another identical maid suddenly appeared. Then he pinched the neck of the maid in front, and the maid in front fell softly to the ground without saying a word.
.
The tray in her hand was quickly taken over by the maid behind her, and everything was stable without spilling a drop of the soup.
The maid carried the tray and walked to the sleeping tent step by step. Then she pressed a place on the tray, and a long needle popped out from the bottom of the tray.
The long needle stabbed towards the top of Tou Yu's head on the bed. However, Tou Yu in the tent jumped up from the bed. The sword flashed and swung the steel needle away, but it turned out to be a short blade of half a foot!
Pingzhengsheng!
The maid was shocked and threw the tray in her hand towards Ping Zhengsheng. Taking advantage of Ping Zhengsheng's dodge, she turned over and dodged out of the hall.
Shang Gong was so impressed by Shao Bowen's conclusion that Mr. Shang Guo said it was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He was serious and couldn't help shouting: "There is an assassin——"
The palace was already in chaos. Toba's guards were coming here. The archers had already jumped on the wall. Now they were so frightened that they quickly pointed their bows and arrows at the garden outside the palace.
Zhang San entered the palace without weapons, grabbed a broom, kicked off the broom head, and stood in front of Shang Gong: "Thieves, please leave!"
The maid was not afraid and faced Zhang San. The two passed by each other. The maid's body was extremely flexible and she avoided the bamboo stick poked by Zhang San like a fish swimming in the water.
Then I heard Zhang San say "Hey", obviously because he wanted to protect Shang Gong behind him, so he suffered a small loss.
The guards on the palace wall quickly fired their arrows, but with the weak strength of the bow, the long arrows were not fast enough. They were knocked away by the maid, who followed closely and jumped onto a plum tree and threw themselves at the top of the wall.
The guards were also considered brave. Two guards dropped their long bows and rushed toward the maid.
The long needle flashed continuously, and the two guards screamed and fell to the ground, but they were not able to hinder the maid at all.
Just as the maid's feet landed on the top of the wall and she was about to use her strength to slide down, she heard a "bang" and a flash of lightning flashed in the yard. The maid stumbled and fell from the wall.
Zhang San and Ping Zhengsheng rushed forward and held the maid down: "What a thief!"
Shao Bowen flashed out from behind the rockery with a wheel gun in hand: "I knew this was your escape route."
The commotion in the palace did not last long. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Bai He hurried over: "I heard that we got an assassin?"
The assassin had been stripped naked, tied to the ground behind his back, and even had a wooden stick tied in his mouth to prevent suicide.
The assassin suffered a severe wound on his shoulder, and Shao Bowen picked out the bullet for him and bandaged the wound.
Similarly, Zhang San also exposed half of his body. The wound on his upper arm was tied with gauze, and there were blood stains on his clothes.
When Bai He saw the maid's clothes and wig next to the assassin, and saw the thing under his crotch, his face turned pale: "Zhengsheng, take it down and torture it severely! Interrogate!"
"Tie!" Ping Zhengsheng responded and dragged the assassin down.
Bai He then asked Shao Bowen: "Where is the emperor's grandson?"
Shao Bowen smiled and said: "The emperor and grandson slept well without any disturbance."
"Really? That thunder technique just now..." Bai He said this and quickly said, "You dare to question Mr. Shangguo. Bai He is rude."
Shao Bowen smiled and said: "It's okay, let's go and go into the palace to have a look."
Everyone entered the dormitory, but Toba was lying on the bed, sleeping deeply.
Bai He asked Shao Bowen: "This is..."
Shao Bowen took out a piece of incense from his sleeve, lit it on the fire, put it above Toyu's nose and shook it twice. He saw Toyu's nose twitching slightly twice, and then he woke up: "Grandpa...
…I just dreamed of a big garden, and the flowers there are so fragrant…”
Bai He was extremely happy. It was rare for his grandson to sleep so deeply.
He patted Toba's chest gently: "Then continue sleeping and sleep well."
Toba said: "There was a big pool there, and the pool was full of clouds. I heard someone calling me under the clouds, so I leaned forward to look, and accidentally fell back on the bed..."
Bai He quickly said: "My grandson, close your eyes and fall asleep quickly. Maybe you can go back and take a walk..."
Toba obediently closed his eyes, Shirakawa breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated with a few people.
Arriving at the side hall, Shang Gong fell to the ground and apologized: "The assassin sneaked into the palace, which was detrimental to the king. The crime of negligence by the minister cannot be punished."
Shao Bowen spoke for Shang Gong: "This child's methods are really clever. Shang Gong cannot be entirely blamed. I also ask the king to spare her this time."
Bai He nodded: "You are also an old man who came here with the Queen Mother. You have been cautious for many years. Fortunately, this incident did not cause any serious problems... Have you searched the assassin's hideout?"
Shang Gong kowtowed repeatedly: "Everything in the palace has been searched, but... there is no trace of the traitor, just like... as if he flies in every night."
Shao Bowen smiled and said: "This boy can go up and down. If there are traces on the ground, Shang Gong must have noticed it. I see that the beams on the little king's bedroom are wide. Have they been searched?"
Seeing Shang Gong's jaw-dropping expression, Shirakawa scolded: "Why don't you go quickly?! Be gentle with your hands and feet, don't disturb Toba."
Shang Gong rolled to the ground, and then Bai He asked Shao Bowen: "May I ask Mr. Shang Guo, how do you know there is an assassin hidden in the palace?"
Shao Bowen said: "It may not be accurate to say he is an assassin."
"However, there are outsiders hiding in the palace. In fact, we can infer it from many places."
"The scenery in the back garden is beautiful, with algae swaying in the water, but a large piece of algae fell off at the water outlet. Although it has grown again later, the length of the old and new ones is somewhat different."
