Chapter 43: Night attack! The fish is hooked!
That night.

child time.

It should have been a night sky with a bright moon and dotted stars.

At this moment, it is obscured by a thick black cloud, as if shrouded by a mysterious force.

It added a bit of weirdness and ominousness to the quiet night.

The outline of the Xianyang Imperial Palace was looming in the night, like a sleeping beast.

Outside the palace.

In a narrow and deep alley.

Hundreds of figures gathered quietly.

They were dressed in black night clothes.

The face is concealed by a cloak or mask.

From their pupils.

You can see a look of unusual determination.

"Are you all ready?"

A deep and powerful voice sounded.

Everyone followed the sound.

In the middle of the crowd stood a figure wearing black armor and a strange mask.

Everyone nodded.

Indicates that you are ready.

Seeing this, the black-armored masked man nodded slightly, then spoke again: "Remember your mission tonight."

"If the mission fails, execute it according to the plan given to you in advance!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

"In that case, let's take action!"

Following his order.

All the figures rushed towards the Xianyang Imperial Palace like arrows.

Their figures shuttled through the night sky, like ghostly tracks, blending into the night.

The night is their umbrella and their cover.

soon.

With their superb skills, they easily bypassed the guards outside the palace and sneaked into the palace quietly.

at the same time.

Inside the palace.

Zhang Han was patrolling with his Shadow Guards as usual.

however.

Just at this moment.

Zhang Han's intuition seemed to be touched by some invisible force.

He keenly sensed an unusual fluctuation in the air!
He turned quickly and instinctively reached for the sword behind him with his right hand.

Be prepared to respond to any crisis that may arise!
The shadow guards behind him also noticed something strange.

Everyone immediately went into alert.

His eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

suddenly!
A black shadow rushed out from the darkness like lightning, the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, and rushed straight towards Zhang Han.

The sudden attack took everyone by surprise.

But Zhang Han was not at all flustered.

A swish sound.

The long sword on the back has been unsheathed!
Turned into a silver light!
Collide with the assassin's dagger!

"Qiang!"

A crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the night sky, shocking the heart.

Zhang Han took a closer look.

I saw an assassin wrapped in a black robe holding a dagger, which was clashing with my sword.

But the assassin's face was completely obscured by the black robe.

It's impossible to tell his true identity.

"Who dares to trespass into the palace?!"

Following Zhang Han's loud shout.

The assassin saw that his sneak attack had failed.

His figure retreated immediately.

He distanced himself from Zhang Han again.

at the same time.

Everyone around.

Black figures emerged like a tide.

Seeing this, Zhang Han raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile.

"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving easily!"

"kill!"

The words fell.

The shadow guards who had been on high alert behind him suddenly rushed forward like tigers descending from the mountains.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were intertwined, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.

The scene instantly became chaotic.

same moment.

Elsewhere in the palace.

They were also attacked by black-clad assassins.

Qin Palace.

Qinglong hurriedly walked through the corridor and came in front of Lin Xuan.

He stopped and bowed deeply, his tone somewhat hurried and nervous.

"My Lord!"

"We just encountered a sneak attack by an unidentified group of assassins. They came with great force and were obviously well prepared."

Lin Xuan sat on the jade steps and raised his eyes slightly.

Hear Qinglong's report.

There was a strange flicker in his pupils.

Obviously thinking about something.

"What's the situation?" Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent the Royal Guards to encircle and suppress those assassins." Qinglong replied, "They are doing their best to hunt them down and capture all of them in one fell swoop."

Lin Xuan nodded.

Then he asked, "Do you know how many people are on the other side?" As for the purpose.

You know it without even thinking about it.

"It's not clear yet." Qinglong shook his head: "Those assassins deliberately dispersed their attacks from multiple directions, making it difficult for us to figure out their exact number and purpose."

"However, I have already sent someone to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."

"Remember to leave a few alive."

"Go."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and gestured.

"Yes!"

Qinglong retreated immediately.

After Qinglong leaves.

Lin Xuan tapped lightly on the jade steps beside him with his fingers.

"clatter!"

"clatter!"

again and again.

Extremely regular.

Regarding the sneak attack tonight.

Lin Xuan actually expected it.

But he didn't expect it.

The other party entered the palace so smoothly.

This made him curious.

What kind of assassin is he?

Could he bypass the guards outside the palace so easily?

then.

He shouted softly: "Rain turns into field."

Swish!
A figure quickly came in front of him.

"Master Hou!"

"go."

"Notify Liusha and the others."

"Ready to work."

"Yes!"

at the same time.

On top of an attic.

Xiaomeng was standing on it.

Looking in one direction.

And this direction.

That’s where the imperial palace is!
These days.

She has been here ever since.

Observe the situation inside the palace every day.

Originally she wanted to go directly into the palace.

Meet the legendary champion.

But as the news spread that Ying Zheng was about to successfully extend his life.

Then she understood.

The palace during this period.

It must be a dangerous place!
If you enter rashly.

It may bring you trouble.

and so.

Xiao Meng chose to observe.

Sudden.

at this time.

She seemed to sense something.

He quickly looked towards the palace.

I saw countless bright yellow lights lighting up.

It is extremely dazzling in the night.

His brows immediately furrowed.

She knew that something must have happened in the palace!
then.

A flick of the whisk.

Swish!
The figure immediately disappeared from the spot.

This is Zhang Han.

As the time goes.

The assassins who attacked them.

It's almost been resolved.

After all, they are in numbers.

Still has the advantage.

Moreover.

This is the palace!
The support speed is not just talk.

The remaining few assassins in black saw that the situation was hopeless.

He immediately put the sword in his hand to his neck without hesitation.

There was a pop.

He committed suicide on the spot.

Zhang Han watched this scene.

His brows furrowed even deeper.

He is the leader of the Shadow Guard.

Naturally, I understand what the other party’s action just now means!
Attack the palace tonight!
It is definitely not an ordinary force!
More like a professional assassin killer!
After all, most people fail in their actions.

Survival will definitely be the priority.

But those people just now.

He committed suicide without any hesitation!
Think of this.

Zhang Han gave an order to deal with the corpse on the ground.

He immediately headed towards the location of the Qin Palace!

He would report this matter to the Marquis personally.
