當日稍早 紫禁城內 萬歲山267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmQvrxXdVO
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cyMSA4LhM
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvjhQHBxe1
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpkNEo12vf
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlSB1mAvXS
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1IBORO4lT
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wrWV5DjlV
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocwC8kQFB0
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNuKEkadf5
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c5Zudf7GK
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlhcxTHyRq
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEY1HFUKuQ
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA3bRQxLHK
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXfpD8POVH
「你……你看……」該名侍衛指向高處。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyX9UimrZD
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUHAFQgg7Z
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmBrSBOYQz
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXGKyyt8a
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9orKj6Cyh6
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiBGUC2HtS
「妖……妖人……」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwEckyeRGx
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjjrDnuyzA
「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。 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzczrkgxbtf
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpke0bTMS4
「是黑眚。」另一人道出其名，溫熱的尿液自胯間流下。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kpKHZpf9s
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZj5FvP8nR
道士轉過頭來與兩人對視，他的雙眼殷紅如血。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghqTjo5m2b
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZmrInEOq
「快、快跑！」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRxi1kTNK4
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKTbMlusqx
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5viHu8MuU
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j7X3iGwe9
天明後 五海子行宮267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WOco2Q7o0
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrbktSr6JI
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2EGedtjiv
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupA516t7VC
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmooPEzuxRZ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsKay0Uc4o
他隨即遣了王太醫去為湖衣療傷，希望她能盡快痊癒。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUMIbZW5x4
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKk6zLzjkL
此行南苑圍獵，怎麼變得越來越無趣了。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxicViEjCC8
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wmXxyfGma
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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR08F9gHQrh
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgl1qkhBIT
「什麼，你說什麼！」朱見深簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUIjMQHAZ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9JUWQzyBl
「是妖物……萬歲山……」太監嚇得臉色煞白。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41T6eRDrlk
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTu8TJShnQ
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi01nGWNAs
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpneFhWheU
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……」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq24meEA9Ix
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw56h8kqSX
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcwuDHyU1u
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bonNAjxPc
「不，」朱見深一口回絕，「若真有妖物，朕倒想見上一見。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOcLtZ4xCB
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM9YARs7ZP
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxT4Cqrt7
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DY6GKbvc7
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik0AtaatfX
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7toCGWOyJ
「這畜生是……」朱見深驚駭莫名。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlNFaaLY1w
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJFWjUD20m
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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLntQCzKoZ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qZaeTvXQr
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfMW8cmJ3c
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZXgiSgfbz
朱見深不禁怒氣上湧。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNdcgX5YUq
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9sukT6oDJ
連上天也認為朕是個昏君。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGYIIJTyiE
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW58U8TjNI
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcuIKvM1QL
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQA2lHFy93
「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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsKCQPSW2m
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfl9NsTUGa
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5XiU3Y27W
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS34VRGKVAK
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdVn2zxfY3
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOvukIngWY
「陛下，」貼身太監張敏著急地說：「您還是避一避吧，這裡不安全。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM3u0nkpz1
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7P1n0fzie
「不，再等等。」朱見深依然緊盯著黑眚，一人一獸，四目相對。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QYoxnaBcH
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNdhdMqcah
「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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5mv1IzVuT
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0OAqjGKze
殿前侍衛統領大聲喝令：「護駕，宰了那畜牲，誓死保護皇上！」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmOPrNXcao
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbAhGPCfDm
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFabxMd4qr
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgXAbaczq0
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJUuMVXA8E
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9qsebnjz3
「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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbrhGCVyZC
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS0u2xzsdc
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiylf7Np5P
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdbEqYCH50
「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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj4PMLZro2
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa5rOYylK0
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq3cW0qhal
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMKDpvKKMw
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty3s7Hsdet
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ83RjZdVRj
牠真是來取他性命的嗎……267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz8fWzdOXb
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ1zCxLuzM
空中響起一聲尖鳴。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmGDPQNYh6
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLwAhGiv2b
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lMJyADPZH
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKYAUYR5TA
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFM2wvsnr
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ1daJk9P8
一聲號令，箭雨聲嘎然而止。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8yw9yZcQi
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxVgrL0qwt
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf21HKcAG4n
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCLFSLVdx5
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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65FxqgDwmo
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1uvaJwtoM
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0wc0Bv2qB
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGkL2iDJOZ
不像睿靖王，那般英明神武。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNNhPQWgnC
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrnOyDYSPo
「朕無恙，眾卿平身。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh4dM0mlvA
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9mvdtNNxu
眾人依言禮畢起身。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrMOeYyBjG
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSZQ2nXhm
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA76fcD4sf
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanNGgxU5xB
「奉皇上令諭，睿靖王及神機營護駕有功，全軍加俸半年。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpcH0Oq6mN
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3VafGvVlB
睿靖王叩首，「謝吾皇恩典，願吾皇千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyeDoDzvJr
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYRsruDxDJ
殿上百餘人同聲喊著：「千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjDsNkfY3x
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMHbnyz3nv
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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGYqHmzdiI
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93C6VkrEf3
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiPSHNv3sr
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQ1Jv0wD1
「王爺好箭法。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lk7I4YhZf
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwFc96AJRN
「要不是王爺，我等難逃此劫。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch7bWQzJBe
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJMhMibDr6
「本以為神機營只會使槍，沒想到各個都是神射手。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzefIerbFp
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9HnbTzcGo
「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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzMF6niIkJ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKRos8ss1e
夠了，他聽夠了。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XlfMQ7UYM
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3QNsqiZx8
是，和英勇的睿靖王相比，皇帝顯得如此怯懦無能。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrgHArHV2a
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmiYIV1s6n
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3FB7sS29n
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPtFJPKvlG
「陛下。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y2GQ62ytp
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXCV6OESb1
朱見深佇足，萬貴妃攜著汪直追了過來。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3uR7mOv9o
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqEYeWUTme
還好，無論發生何事，至少還有萬貴妃不會輕視他。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaaxBRQh4o
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOXULLsBNN
「汪直有密報。」萬貴妃言道。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV37RrBESI5
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIHeKjGfzN
「何事？」朱見深問道。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QotfHPfTG
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7l9sTZB7j
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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbrgDa78nC
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq9B9usdzJ
「真有此事？」朱見深大驚，莫非這幫妖人是想害他性命？267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIVOGrYe42
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZwFceU1w
「奴才不敢妄言。」汪直躬身下拜。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIeZPPmkXm
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9NWzedln7
「帶人抄了那寺院，所有妖人，一概處死。」朱見深驚極反怒。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i7pXNB72h
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Qul6dV5E
「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？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0553P8DYn
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqQzlHKldk
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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK70Xi5cby
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh0xuN5pfg
「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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIel9kL6oKG
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnvwnHCTD7
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKT2TCtSEx
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmi1fLeUKp
「奴才遵旨。」汪直下跪叩首。
