Chapter 459 Chapter 462
The three of them didn't dare to make any noise, they were afraid of disturbing the vicious dogs next door, the wall is half a chi thick, if it is really made of bricks, two big men may still be unable to move an inch if they push it.

Shen Mu pointed to the foot of the wall, indicating that the trap could only be opened from below, and at the same time reached into his bosom, and took out an Ecstasy bomb.

After Shen Mu nodded, Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai squatted down and tried to push under the trap door.

Sure enough, the valve moved from the bottom to the inside, revealing an inch of gap, and the three of them worked at the same time to close the pores and prevent the smell from spreading, otherwise they would lose all their efforts when the dog barked.

The group of dogs inside the wall sensed something was wrong, and ran towards the trap door together, maybe they thought it was the master returning home, but of course they never knew.

Shen Mu squeezed the ecstasy bomb in his hand to break through the tiny cracks, and the scent gradually escaped in the form of smoke. Under his real control, he sprayed it through the cracks to the next door in a controlled manner.

After a while, the sound of a dog groaning and falling to the ground came from the other side. Shen Mu was overjoyed. He forced the ecstasy bullet into the soil, and said with a smile, "It's done. I didn't expect it to be so easy. Fortunately, there is a tree shade to cover it, otherwise the teacher who taught the watchtower It would be a big joke for people to see dogs lying all over the ground."

Listening carefully, he was sure that all the dogs had been hit, so he hurriedly pushed the trap door open from the bottom and tried to get in.

Li Yuan's Imperial Study Room is a unique building surrounded by trees. It is separated from other buildings by a corridor. It is divided into three entrances: the front, the middle, and the back. The entrance is the study, with two sets of tables, chairs and tables for resting and reading. The interior is the dragon table for Li Yuan to deal with important affairs. There are calligraphy and paintings, decorated with antiques and folk arts. The layout is elegant and full of book atmosphere.

Shen Mu went to the dragon chair and sat down, facing the two of them, he sighed, "It's a worthwhile trip to sit here."

Hou Xibai quickly glanced around as if he didn't hear him, and then began to search for paintings in any cabinet where things could be hidden.

Xu Ziling couldn't help laughing and moved to the other side of the dragon table, saying: "If you really find "The Picture of Cold Forest and Qingyuan" for him, you will be responsible for catching him, and I will be responsible for snatching the painting back."

Shen Mu simply put his feet on the desk, picked up the empty seal placed on the table with his hands, and said, "How about stealing Li Yuan's seal? Guarantee that Li Yuan will be furious and turn the entire Chang'an city over to search for Cao San."

Xu Ziling shook his head and said with a smile: "How could the emperor's jade seal be placed on the table so casually? I'm afraid it's just an ordinary seal."

Shen Mu tried to read the inscriptions on the seal carefully, but gave up after a while, shook his head and said, "This is more difficult to decipher than the oracle bone inscriptions on the "Secret of Longevity", Boy Hou, come and decipher it."

Hou Xibai yelled: "I don't have such leisure, don't hurry to help, I will blame you for the rest of my life."

Shen Mu was about to laugh at him, when suddenly there was a "clinking" sound from the tiles above his head, followed by the noisy sound of metal rubbing against the tiles, and finally an unknown metal object fell from the ridge of the tiles to the ground, making another shocking sound The sound of touching the ground.

In the silent and solemn Datang Harem, such a sound can spread far and near.

The three of you looked at me, your scalp was numb, and you couldn't grasp what happened for a while.

Shouts sounded outside the Imperial Study Room.

The three of them yelled that it was not good, as if they had suddenly fallen into a nightmare.

Their worst fears finally happened.

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "It's Shi Zhixuan! How could he do it?"

The first sentence is a conclusion, and the second sentence is a question.

Only Shi Zhixuan may know that they sneaked in through the tunnel.But unless he had been chasing them here through the tunnel, how could he have thrown the thing so accurately on the tiled roof of the Imperial Study Room, where it rolled and fell to the ground, alarming the guards of the Forbidden Palace.

In order to prevent Shi Zhixuan from assassinating Li Yuan, the palace city of the Tang Dynasty was like a bowstring that was tense and ready to go. Shi Zhixuan's move immediately caused the powerful defense force in the palace of the Tang Dynasty to surge like a torrent.

They are the first to bear the brunt.

Although they talked about being discovered after entering the palace from time to time, in fact they were mostly talking and joking. They came here tonight to explore the way, and they never thought that they would be caught in such a situation that might be beyond redemption.

Xu Ziling said decisively: "Give me all the ecstasy bombs, you and Xi Bai will sneak to Taiji Palace through a short tunnel, and then try to leave from Taiji Palace, I will lure the enemy away."

He took the ecstasy bullets handed over by the two with one hand, took off the hood with the other hand, loosened his hair, and put on the mask.

Shen Mu and him are in the same mind, and there is no time to talk nonsense at this moment. This is a choice without a choice. If Shen Mu and Hou Xibai can leave without anyone noticing, and on the other hand, Xu Ziling can also escape, it should be counted as a success. retreat.

Hou Xibai said in a low voice, "Ziling be careful!"

At this time, the light of the torches outside the imperial study room flickered, showing that the enemies were coming from all directions.

Xu Ziling came out through the window, threw two bombs at the same time, flipped over in front of the arrow and his body, and jumped to the tiled roof of the imperial study.

Thick smoke billowed up, and the most exciting thing was that it scattered with the wind, submerging the imperial study room in the smoke.

Being condescending, Xu Ziling grasped the whole situation in an instant. The imperial guards who rushed over had yet to encircle the imperial study room. The first two groups of pro-army rushed in from the south and north gates. The guards who came from the door, two of them with better lightness skills, slashed towards them.All around in the distance are the torchlights moving rapidly towards here, as long as there is a little hesitation, it will definitely be a dead end surrounded by thousands of troops.

Xu Ziling didn't let the enemy have a chance to confront or encircle, he swept up the tile ridge, jumped up, went across the sky, fell into the study room, got up with one foot lightly, and then borrowed strength from the advancing tile edge, and threw it towards the imperial palace. garden.Another two bombs were thrown, and the entire area of ​​the imperial study room was enveloped in the surging smoke and fragrance. The effect was so miraculous that Xu Ziling, the user, could not believe it.

There were people running towards him from the tiles or the ground from near and far, and there were many masters among them.

Xu Ziling crossed the high wall and landed on the gravel path of the imperial garden, and fired two more bombs. Immediately, thick smoke rose up, spreading to the vast imperial garden with the wind, and the surroundings seemed unreal.

Eight bombs have been fired and six bombs have been dropped, which is of little effect on Xu Ziling himself, but it is a necessary cover for Shen Mu and Hou Xibai.

"Kill without mercy."

Xu Ziling looked at the place where the voice came from in his busy schedule, and saw more than ten people coming towards him from the other side of the imperial garden, the leader was Li Yuan, who shouted from his imperial mouth.In addition, Xu Ziling recognized Yu Wenshang.

Hundreds of personal guards swarmed in from the direction of Taiji Palace and Xuanwu Gate. If it wasn't for the smog, the torchlight would have illuminated him in every detail, leaving nowhere to hide.

With the sound of the bowstring, hundreds of powerful arrows were fired from the crossbow, aiming at him like a rainstorm.

Xu Ziling bounced straight, causing all the arrows to shoot into the air, reaching a height of nearly fifteen feet. With his right hand touching his waist, he got the tendon hook and shot it towards a tall tree close to the partition wall behind him. Go, leave the imperial garden, and return to the range of Li Yuan's bedroom.

This move was beyond everyone's expectations, and he could no longer besieged in the imperial garden.

However, Xu Ziling knew that he was still not out of danger.Because Li Yuan's palace is the most heavily guarded place in the palace, and the outer palace wall is even more difficult for birds to pass through. As long as he is blocked for a moment and Li Yuan and a group of masters catch up, he will be in a situation of life and death.

And his last magic weapon will be the only two ecstasy bullets left in his bosom.

When Xu Ziling just threw the ecstasy bomb, Shen Mu and Hou Xibai did not dare to hesitate, they rushed out from the main entrance, entered the imperial garden through the trap door, and then took advantage of the smoke and the enemy's attention to focus on Xu Ziling, sneaked into the fake rock mountain from the flowers and trees, When they entered the tunnel, the imperial garden was full of torches and guards like wolves and tigers. It was extremely dangerous. After a moment of hesitation, they had to flee together with Xu Ziling.

Hou Xibai asked as he walked, "Can Ziling escape?"

Shen Mu said confidently: "Don't look at this kid's usual honest appearance, he is actually more cunning than me."

"Chong"!
Draw out the long sword.

Hou Xibai came to his senses and lit the fire.

In an instant, the two came to the exit under the dragon chair of the Taiji Palace, Shen Mu turned off the fire and turned off Hou Xibai, and said in a low voice: "If your stone master really enters the palace after us, then he should be waiting for us now, It’s above. Take us out one by one to kill one, and one pair to kill the other.”

Hou Xibai nodded to express his understanding, took out the beauty fan in his sleeve, and said, "Open the cover!"

The stone cover moves sideways, revealing the mouth.

Shen Mu and Hou Xibai waited with bated breath, but there was no movement outside, it was quiet.

Shen Mu frowned and said, "Did I guess wrong, let me go out and have a look first!"

The man ran with the sword and soared into the sky.

The empty Tai Chi Hall was as calm as before, and there was no sign of Shi Zhixuan.

Shen Mu felt strange, soaring up more than ten feet in the air earlier, when he was about to turn his breath and sink, a sudden change popped up.

There was a whistling sound of energy coming from the tunnel, mixed with Hou Xibai's muffled groan and the intensive sound of real energy clashing.

Shen Mu yelled that it was not good, but Shi Zhixuan actually sneaked behind them, watching Hou Xibai sneak attack from the dark tunnel at the right time.Not only is Shi Zhixuan's martial arts superior to Hou Xibai's, but he also knows his apprentice's martial arts well, and he has taken advantage of the fact that he has caught Hou Xibai off guard.

Shen Mu collected his mind, not letting the concern and anxiety for Hou Xibai affect his mood, took a deep breath, and threw it toward the exit with the unity of human and knife.

The howling sound brought by the strength resounded through the tunnel.

The sound of fighting stopped suddenly.

Shi Zhixuan carried Hou Xibai through the entrance of the tunnel with lightning, and punched heavily on the sharp edge of Shen Mu's thrusting blade.

Shen Mu felt as sad as if his internal organs were turned upside down by a thunderstorm, and he almost spurted blood.Shi Zhixuan's astonishing vigor surged like a flood of knives, and he couldn't help throwing it towards the center of the hall. When his feet touched the ground, Shi Zhixuan casually put down Hou Xibai, who was unconscious, and moved him a few feet in front of him, holding his hands behind his back. Er Li smiled and said: "Rare and rare! To be able to block someone Shi's full-strength punch."

Shen Mu barely suppressed the churning blood, and pointed his long sword at the most terrifying evil person in the world, and said in a deep voice: "My little life is here, let's see if your evil king has the ability to take it away?"

Shi Zhixuan looked away at Hou Xibai who was lying flat on the ground, then turned his head and said with a smile: "Xibai is just being controlled by me, and he has not lost his ability to see and hear. I hope Xibai will not see or hear what he regards as Those who are good friends will be greedy for life and afraid of death, and run away for their roommates."

Shen Mu was almost so angry that his heart burned, he took a deep breath and said, "Despicable!"

The long sword slashed away.

Shen Mu finally realized Xu Ziling's feeling of being helpless when facing Shi Zhixuan who has no flaws.

He seems to be standing there, but if he is not there.Shen Mu couldn't grasp his position at all, let alone predict his next move.

However, this sword of his has the tendency of going nowhere, changing his tactics to speed up his defeat, the spiral energy of this saber is concentrated, no matter how powerful Ren Shi Zhixuan's seal of immortality is, I'm afraid he still dare not take it head-on.

Shi Zhixuan smiled indifferently, and suddenly swayed to the left and right at an astonishingly high speed, as if several more avatars appeared, false and real, suddenly appearing on Shen Mu's left side, his sleeves brushing Shen Mu's forehead.

Shen Mu actually closed his eyes, turned around and swung the sword, with a cold and sharp sword aura, the sword edge cut Shi Zhixuan's sleeve as if with the help of a god.

"Huo"!
Shen Mu was kicked back by Shi Zhixuan, and after a stagger, he was able to stand still, and then opened his posture towards Shi Zhixuan.

Shi Zhixuan said: "My precious apprentice will be taken away and disciplined by me, don't worry! No matter how rebellious and mischievous he is, he will always be Shi's apprentice, he just can't be romantic for the time being, or accompany you two boys to make trouble everywhere. As long as you hand over the stolen "Cold Forest and Qingyuan Picture", Xibai will return to freedom immediately. Someone Shi will give you one day to put the painting on the table in Xibai's small hall before tomorrow evening, otherwise the agreement will be cancelled."

Shen Mu laughed loudly and said, "Do you want to take Xi Bai away? Ask me about Lao Tzu's long sword first!"

The human and the sword united to kill Shi Zhixuan.

Shen Mu tore off the hood and put it in his arms so as not to affect his visual sense.When Shi Zhixuan spoke, he had grasped his own situation and Shi Zhixuan's intentions.

It's not that Shi Zhixuan didn't want to kill him, but he intentionally killed him here and now.His rhetoric was just to give Shen Mu a glimmer of life, he mistook Shi Zhixuan because he wanted to get back the "Picture of Cold Forest and Qingyuan", so he let go of the opportunity to take his life.

Weighing the pros and cons, killing Shen Mu is actually Shi Zhixuan's top priority, otherwise he would not have taken the risk to follow up with the palace and plot them carefully; so far it is almost certain that Shi Zhixuan did not know that they had eavesdropped on his conversation with Yin Zuwen.

Even with Shi Zhixuan's ability, it would not be easy to kill Shen Mu.And when Shen Mu thought he was going to die, maybe he would take a risky gamble, such as fleeing into the tunnel with all his strength, or breaking out of the palace through the skylight. The palace played cat and mouse with Shen Mu everywhere.

Shi Zhixuan is extremely intelligent, knowing that if he proposes to take Hou Xibai away, Shen Mu will do his best to stop it, so Shi Zhixuan will prevent Shen Mu's roommate from escaping before the separation of life and death.

The spiral energy passed through the edge of the sword, with a hissing sound, before the sword reached its strength, the energy moved first, and covered the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan with head and face.

This is an impossible solution, Shi Zhixuan's illusion of immortality is unpredictable, it seems real.And Shen Mu is using his own supernatural characteristics of vitality, just as he and Xu Ziling can detect next door, he is now also using energy to detect Shi Zhixuan's reality first, as long as Shi Zhixuan has any reaction, he can determine the direction of attack under the guidance of energy Position, angle and force.

The sound of the imperial guards walking back and forth and the sound of horseshoes stamping the ground could not be heard outside the hall, indicating that the imperial guards were mobilizing and mobilizing on a large scale, and the situation was tense and hot.But no one would have imagined that the two top figures in the arena, one old and one young, were fighting a decisive battle of life and death in the main hall at the core of the imperial palace.

Shi Zhixuan showed a slight smile, and then swayed to the left and right, each sway caused Shen Mu's "qi force field" to shift to the side of the sway.

Waiting for the sword edge that turned into Shen Mu's third eye to sense it immediately, it accelerated quickly, and shot towards Shi Zhixuan who was feeling it like lightning, the method of body and mind was brought into full play, and it went to a higher level.

The blade pierced through the air.

Shi Zhixuan gave a low "Okay", turned his palm into a finger, and pointed at the edge of the sword.

A terrifying and highly concentrated internal energy hit the sword tip hard, and there was a sound of "abuse". .

Shi Zhixuan's eyes are full of different lights, which is exactly the phenomenon that he wants to attack with all his strength.

Shen Mu couldn't help complaining, so he hurriedly used the method of reversing the true qi in his body, changing from retreating to moving sideways, and assumed a "not attacking" posture.

It seems to be attacking but not attacking, and it seems to be defending but not defending.

The shadow of Shi Zhixuan's palm dissipated all over the sky, he raised his foot and kicked the long sword sideways, both sides fought hard with no room for change.

In the midst of the long sword Huangmang drama, "Fangyuan" is changed to "Quick Fight", the sword goes with the person and hits the opponent hard.

Shi Zhixuan, who had become like a whirlwind, did not dare to try his own way to dispel Shen Mu's sword energy with the seal of immortality, instead he swung out with one sleeve, caught the edge of the sword, and made a muffled "bang".

After Shen Mu rolled away from Shi Zhixuan for nearly ten feet, his fighting spirit was very strong, and he knew that if he did not have the will to fight to the death, his life would be in danger, because as Xu Ziling said, if he or Xu Ziling fought against Shi Zhixuan alone, it was a situation where there was death but no life. Therefore, we must change the disadvantages of Lizhan.

Lightly pressing the ground with both hands, exchanging true energy, unexpectedly flicked into the air, the long sword slashed at Shi Zhixuan who was pressing in from the air, and said with a smile: "This move is called 'using schemes'."

Shi Zhixuan never imagined that he dared to fight back, he could fight back and the saber blocked all his avenues, but at this moment he was flying in the air and it was difficult to use the illusion of immortality, he groaned angrily, and threw out both fists.

"Peng! Peng!"

Two fists hit the long sword accurately one after another. With Shi Zhixuan's ability, Shen Mu had no choice but to fall to the ground under Shen Mu's full strength. At the office, he laughed and said, "Please help me!"
