當日稍早 紫禁城內 萬歲山235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBeOznUTOI
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5yFTLGhgp
皇帝御駕出巡，帶領多數局司史官隨侍，留守在紫禁城中留守的宮人相形之下清閒許多。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm679WsVnMx
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYyNKCmMx
兩名值夜的侍衛，撐著昏沉的腦袋和惺忪睡眼，拖著步伐走到景山周圍巡視。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3BdFBBWte
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0nmR5zma
景山又稱萬歲山，由開挖護城河的泥土堆砌而成，是紫禁城中的至高處，山下遍植果木，平日是皇帝與后妃飲宴觀景的好去處，但是今夜卻有股詭異的氣息，陰森夜風吹得樹影幢幢，宛如鬼魅。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQqfqjSa1
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUUH0rIoik
「好……好冷啊，」其中一名侍衛凍得牙關發顫，「我說……反正，皇上不在宮裡，不如……不如，我們回值房待命吧。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SPALDChKQ
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsQ8ZRAmon
另一人被陣陣冷風颳得直打哆嗦，連話都說不出來，只能猛點頭。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn364GY453i
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBQevFWfxA
兩人正欲回頭，某處忽然傳來一聲綿長又淒厲的嚎叫，似犬又似狼，兩人不禁毛骨悚然。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNy6zGIo1L
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZwFCuzFru
「你……你看……」該名侍衛指向高處。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIMP7Vlq0A
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPgCktEZVg
山頂上立著一名身穿道袍的男子，景山壟罩在一片闇影中，頂上的天空卻是魔性的淤紫，映襯著一輪血色圓月。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo2aRzC6tf
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GQwCluqFo
男子緩緩伸開右掌，一陣黑色煙霧自他掌中釋放，煙霧盤旋而上，形成一頭巨獸。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhDl14z7Qn
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X6iecnKdo
「妖……妖人……」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytm1trbJ6i
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMUi8fRWk2
「難道是……害得京城商人全家百餘口離奇斃命……連畜生都不放過的……」侍衛不停發抖。 235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KlxoRdRpX
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFMMS618hc
「是黑眚。」另一人道出其名，溫熱的尿液自胯間流下。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCstF2M8PJb
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmspCIJgQL
道士轉過頭來與兩人對視，他的雙眼殷紅如血。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugTgereJjz
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4m4kzIUev
「快、快跑！」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YJT0VtcPa
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Dj9rx2pa
驚恐萬狀的兩人，恨不得娘親給自己多生出兩條腿，沒命似地朝內值房狂奔而去。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbubiu08HOP
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyQvOgRaTm
天明後 五海子行宮235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1XCO0cdKH
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9zv0a3cuF
天明時分，南苑下起一場暴雨，朱見深坐在殿外廊下，望著殿簷水流如瀑，可想而知，軍帳內的三大營士兵一定萬分狼狽。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XSyr5wJmI
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG8aEgwTnr
稍早他命人去傳湖衣到御前隨侍，但是馮瑛前來回話，說主兒在林子裡割傷了腿腳，現下行動不便，不克前來。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWDF4VulyA
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvnQxWHHiq
他隨即遣了王太醫去為湖衣療傷，希望她能盡快痊癒。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDWw2WuI4b
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD2t5qrmGX
此行南苑圍獵，怎麼變得越來越無趣了。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BM3piL2nR
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZn8LH4jj7
突然，一陣急促的腳步聲傳來，殿前太監奔過來下跪稟報，「陛下，宮裡傳來急報，妖人妖物現蹤萬歲山。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hVmF0pJ3K
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3FMoUWvgv
「什麼，你說什麼！」朱見深簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xybJWrcif
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc347B7k9CU
「是妖物……萬歲山……」太監嚇得臉色煞白。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY3lMnTIJS
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGObdbOfWH
萬歲山位居玄武北位，主帝王之壽，妖物夜出乃不祥之兆，會折損君主壽命。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lYFD2jKqY
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo2dL58Sbx
朱見深心亂如麻，御馬監太監汪直又匆匆進殿，一下撲跪在地：「驚擾陛下，奴才該死，但是前殿出現妖物，御前侍衛正在攔阻，但是……恐怕攔不住……」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbQKOxO74
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbdAQvrq7B
「竟有此事？」萬貴妃不知是何時已走到廊前，「陛下還是先往寢殿暫避，已防有失。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0D7Zfyzg3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iJW40LcLR
「不，」朱見深一口回絕，「若真有妖物，朕倒想見上一見。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3gh7Q56g
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHp6JRN4vw
朱見深說著，邁開步伐往前殿走去，誰知他才踏出殿廊，就聽見震耳欲聾的吼聲。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPwm7Y1Jbl
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b6gDBiA1F
滂沱大雨中，一群護衛團團圍住一頭黑毛怪獸，那獸姿態凜然，毛色殷黑如墨，似虎非虎。眾人心有畏懼，握著兵器的手不住顫抖。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCbczvdRlG
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9AhOpDBmv
「這畜生是……」朱見深驚駭莫名。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6mpSTnOOW
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUJx7UgLiq
汪直搶上前來，以自己身軀護衛聖駕，「啟秉陛下，這是曾在城東大街食人的黑眚。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7N922FCHo
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fe28LkkTa
傳說，黑眚是君王對天下疾苦「聽而不聰」時，才會降生在世上的妖物。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV65NqMOAG
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Zvq8XKch
朱見深不禁怒氣上湧。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzg7myQnKP
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZPmVSC3OC
連上天也認為朕是個昏君。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMIndYr4Hm
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joQRVGlNv
彷彿在回應朱見深，黑眚發出一聲低吼，牠目不轉睛地盯著朱見深，像是在責怪他不該德行有虧，引得天降災禍。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrADZrizez
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuzAgWhJkm
「保護皇上！」御前侍衛率先衝上前，持刀揮砍，黑眚張開血盆大口，咬住一名侍衛，頭一甩，侍衛手臂被扯斷，人卻打橫飛了出去，在濕漉漉的地上留下一條血溝。黑眚口裡嚼食侍衛的斷臂，鮮血自獠牙滴落。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDun31NYJUq
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexVAcAisUz
黑眚無視周圍的護衛，筆直地朝向朱見深而來，牠目不轉睛地盯著他，金黃色眼睛燃著熊熊怒火，背脊毛髮豎立，像是在對朱見深挑釁，瞧他是否有膽上前來一決勝負。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYzu8qmFQ4
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFaZ0vAaQm
英明的君主都曾獵虎，朱見深暗忖，成祖朱棣還獵過大象，沒理由他會輸給先祖。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1ZzCAO80
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrs74l68KM
「陛下，」貼身太監張敏著急地說：「您還是避一避吧，這裡不安全。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjeg3ruFT3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6a9JDCnkb
「不，再等等。」朱見深依然緊盯著黑眚，一人一獸，四目相對。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjQb8ardeq
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHnHNPvQq
「牠朝著這裡來了。」不知道哪個怕死的太監哭叫著，有人愣在原地不知所措，還有人在危急中捨棄了他們的主子，退進偏殿內，迅速抵上門擋。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLYopyBaI6
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrY8EpVxPu
殿前侍衛統領大聲喝令：「護駕，宰了那畜牲，誓死保護皇上！」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hDVYgZaj
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0upQwBh85
幾名侍衛朝著黑眚拋擲手中長茅，其中一支擦過了牠的背脊，鮮血緩慢地滲出來。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAqlTlMKu4
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomqtgIFNDW
受傷疼痛激怒了兇猛的異獸，它騰空躍起，跳到一名持矛兵身上，尖牙重重刺進他的頭頸，頸骨瞬間碎裂，頭與頸項只剩一絲皮肉相連，鮮血濕透他的鎧甲，其餘的護衛咒罵咆哮，卻一時不敢向前。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunEaQmECZv
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2x0rTfoFe
「難道是天要滅朕……」朱見深喃喃說道，身體不自覺地向後殿退去，先前想要獵虎的勇氣已喪失殆盡，他轉頭望向萬貴妃，她同樣神情驚懼地一步一步向後退。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLmOZqpJdD
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTaCDQHbGz
「陛下，」汪直冒死擋在他身前，「奴才願為陛下粉身碎骨，死而後已。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr8YLJ6X1i
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNil2eqzM6
「好。」朱見深眼見有人負傷倒地，還有人腸破肚流，此刻一名太監願為他赴險，不由得心生感動。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVimD5Zou0
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeX9nZqOSJ
黑眚的指爪崁入還在掙扎的士兵，張開大口就咬，絕望的尖叫聲刺痛了朱見深雙耳，撲鼻的血腥味令他作嘔，但他無法移開視線。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSfmvYHPnj
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTd4Dn2zAB
這頭妖物真美。朱見深怔怔地望著牠，黑色毛髮閃耀著金光，面對著四面八方湧來的敵人，依然勇敢無畏，這才是王者應有的氣度。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5GNcH9QOt
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyhGv2AlV2
牠真是來取他性命的嗎……235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4VRWCmIM3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz17XKflS8l
空中響起一聲尖鳴。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJxBKZvPbv
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpBEchaCuk
一支弩箭破空而來，黑眚的腦袋突然向後仰，下一刻它的大口中穿出一枚箭鏃，黑眚張大口，卻嘶嘶地發不出聲來，接著更多弩箭釘在黑眚身上，它奮力甩動身軀，想擺脫攻勢，弩箭卻如雪雨般向牠射過來。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bZ7aEzUp6
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0qQRnIZCN
朱見深望弩箭來處，只見手執弩弓的睿靖王，身後跟著同樣手持弩弓的神機營營兵，他們一人一箭，箭無虛發，全數釘在黑眚身上各處要害。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKn6MikCpd
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWee2LIhI1k
一聲號令，箭雨聲嘎然而止。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt951jaHvO
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsYpt1w3kW
黑眚搖晃了幾下，目中像是噴出火來，惡狠狠地欲向朱玹撲來，最後前腿一軟，不支倒地，鮮血混雜著雨水，濺起一道紅色水牆，死前還仰頭向天，發出最後一聲悲壯的絕命狂嚎。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhtK8NePbc
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDPqlQZ3AP
睿靖王走上前，向著朱見深單膝下跪，他身後的神機營營兵也跟著跪地下拜，「臣等，救駕來遲，願領責罰。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnqspAb32m
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBxXjWDmzK
變故來得太快，朱見深一時沒回過神來，只見所有太監宮女、御前侍衛、還有剛剛趕到的五軍營和三千營營兵，全都望向自己，他們心中必然認定他是是個怕死懦弱的君主。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPtuc7glPf
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hjehIBWax
不像睿靖王，那般英明神武。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwQY0ke8Pv
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7dBUJnFFl
「朕無恙，眾卿平身。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr9yezSIxZ
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ZbctUy7P
眾人依言禮畢起身。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Un6HKeAc
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75jRHri7Pj
他是皇帝，縱使萬般不願，也得把應有的儀態作足，朱見深對張敏略點了點頭，後者隨即傳旨。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVHaua8t5
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzsFJBhtPE
「奉皇上令諭，睿靖王及神機營護駕有功，全軍加俸半年。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6cownQaDT
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1CLMG1gnS
睿靖王叩首，「謝吾皇恩典，願吾皇千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G0WdNUnwD
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NrHMrmQg6
殿上百餘人同聲喊著：「千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1wlhidsao
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvRZHjUjAs
這些恭維話語在朱見深聽來，倒像是蘊含譏諷，他望著血跡斑斑，侍衛與妖物的屍身猶在，殿前一片混亂，一如蒙塵的皇權，他長嘆一聲後，對張敏下令：「著人清理善後，朕乏了，回寢殿。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdcfBV1pKi
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1TJ6Ub69B
朱見深快步移駕後殿，儘管不想聽，眾人對皇叔的讚美卻不斷從身後傳過來。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHaNb8ihYw
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLdjELG9d3
「王爺好箭法。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbSFMo15Xj
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLaC5n3uvR
「要不是王爺，我等難逃此劫。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHSC2wJbqX
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEUQFhfG38
「本以為神機營只會使槍，沒想到各個都是神射手。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNlcXc5ExS
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt20z7rCAB
「皇上御前禁用火器，只能使用箭弩，避免引發火災。」一名神機營校尉解釋。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTP69DJO8P
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwwbiq3BfD
夠了，他聽夠了。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hMIG4yfx4
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRorak6AHLg
是，和英勇的睿靖王相比，皇帝顯得如此怯懦無能。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFWh1cJiUq
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rtm9v3p45
他顏面掃地，胸口煩悶欲嘔，只想盡快離開，不願再承受眾人鄙夷的目光。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHCfVTvp40
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDeAN6a8nJ
「陛下。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDJ9R770zX
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrifnedp6gn
朱見深佇足，萬貴妃攜著汪直追了過來。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfdLnQxLBh
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uio98ml1n
還好，無論發生何事，至少還有萬貴妃不會輕視他。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx37eTcqq6
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKNU9DfE9T
「汪直有密報。」萬貴妃言道。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYrlb0fHKE
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE84osyZWK
「何事？」朱見深問道。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqK0oV0dH5
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZCSBTDVxg
汪直上前一步，「奴才接獲密報，太玄道觀一干妖道雖除，但仍有餘孽逃脫，近日內又死灰復燃，在京城內以喇嘛寺為掩護，不但蠱惑眾人，還行使幻術，妖獸鬼物為其馭使。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxauCGpnRS
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIHIsLhAUx
「真有此事？」朱見深大驚，莫非這幫妖人是想害他性命？235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNUdIRHzi
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnijBcGjeC
「奴才不敢妄言。」汪直躬身下拜。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvgdVHOK8o
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU863Lr5AH
「帶人抄了那寺院，所有妖人，一概處死。」朱見深驚極反怒。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64OO8gQjnA
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAmqJ0LZ4x
「陛下，」萬貴妃插口，「汪直不過是一名御馬監掌印太監，又無權柄，誰會聽他調度？」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSHab8Om19
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKidWR6y2
貴妃續道：「妖人作亂，東廠本該徹查，但是東廠提督尚銘怠忽職守，以致妖物驚擾皇上，應該先治他失職之罪，再由汪直替補。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy7IRIgpE3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDvs1HoGsd
「不。」朱見深搖頭，既然尚銘有虧職守，下屬必定也是些庸碌之輩，他信不過這些人。235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gZ7BEX8U
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Kaoi8wMM
「汪直聽旨，」朱見深下令，「朕命你為西緝事廠提督，偕同原西緝事司舊部出宮查訪，務必將此案查個水落石出，一個妖人都不可放過。」235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQelmXFdNR
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tqle4PlGM
「奴才遵旨。」汪直下跪叩首。
