當日稍早 紫禁城內 萬歲山287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQMFotfpjq
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1IHeLmeBE
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyTGLvCzTl
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW3tmnxDOY
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxBwzd8L5y
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFCm4WiCrC
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kTMSPbyUb
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkywl7SnDn
「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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4RNlfXdii
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wQgHyT6xA
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4rbtImNuS
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjikwZj2bWb
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLRyd2Pgpc
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXHquGbTOR
「你……你看……」該名侍衛指向高處。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMy0ZdHUCD
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFjoCIYTUO
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGw4LMv9hQ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMXOBDu1X
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUPsSeEwu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg25xoSZdzX
「妖……妖人……」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmUilfWI8P
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4qYg0fGAN
「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。 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUb6nJycry
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRghohBjHec
「是黑眚。」另一人道出其名，溫熱的尿液自胯間流下。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzvjaA4Hjg
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbiSxM5vd
道士轉過頭來與兩人對視，他的雙眼殷紅如血。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAhv3K3QDz
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wQW5h1b4f
「快、快跑！」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERirJACJyu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGywaNpwgI
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDyNXnZVIH
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9V8U9Vu2t
天明後 五海子行宮287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIoXS9UxnD
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlAE7NtUra
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr9ETUwn8b
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgQYojkfLK
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRg9JdfiIC
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK1IQ8Nebp
他隨即遣了王太醫去為湖衣療傷，希望她能盡快痊癒。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKNqgq0Wbn
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwb12d6j8
此行南苑圍獵，怎麼變得越來越無趣了。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpdKxFfoz2
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUIZZ2kywH
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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMeKMQXqOY
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQka5PL0YW
「什麼，你說什麼！」朱見深簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSLoYKwyDA
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ar7mWFPG
「是妖物……萬歲山……」太監嚇得臉色煞白。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGKN5aoNJH
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx8Mgg8k7f
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKy7vOMTeQ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEAce5QqPt
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……」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcjBLJs1tv
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnSt6stuZ7
「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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzSH83zGz3
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqooUi3RyH
「不，」朱見深一口回絕，「若真有妖物，朕倒想見上一見。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgBztBsMuf
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVh0CRq73
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMIPhUQXrh
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rZngEwzo0
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfH9S6XRu1
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7KNwROkbn
「這畜生是……」朱見深驚駭莫名。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkLfhaF4Cx
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokHnt4vuZr
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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2luUfRW3
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiaeyFrOpt
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzCZiuETrK
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0woIxsPyq
朱見深不禁怒氣上湧。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ816VgKdwSe
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa210DvOuZ
連上天也認為朕是個昏君。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfs0ycFKn
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWqIUVYl45
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7rFUfwxIs
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk67f8VdaYM
「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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYonU6LHxJT
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0uoQq77FK
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6IBq26aDg
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvstwZa88tv
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP7owbpq3g
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkNQbHVieW
「陛下，」貼身太監張敏著急地說：「您還是避一避吧，這裡不安全。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXCfj7d0t
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeC83oHLPz
「不，再等等。」朱見深依然緊盯著黑眚，一人一獸，四目相對。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvU2tvy5ZU
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6sifOec69
「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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4zNiWuxL7
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE3UnJ2Fm6
殿前侍衛統領大聲喝令：「護駕，宰了那畜牲，誓死保護皇上！」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kOCdUxM8g
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH74deP9S6x
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG3vV54195
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ox9gtU3ni
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfpTm7mmwg
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhJojL8rPh
「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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKYaBpolpU
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3fXxZtuGp
「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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmoCpkzhZP
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHPpDF3ckO
「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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWAbjpueh
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcOaUp33Px
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOzUicx8g8
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LCGRh8y5B
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjkSyNy6jQ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu4EYjXoLe
牠真是來取他性命的嗎……287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqY3x7jzuq
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGQSU849nA
空中響起一聲尖鳴。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xqf4EUQpI
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSyi9frNpJ
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKuKIWJna9
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TKmPXuPVa
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMF8T9KIVd
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7dsqwUpyh
一聲號令，箭雨聲嘎然而止。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIfaP7zccs
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOIiHRibb9
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWbCbs8sNd
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRfAjGAWJ1
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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvna2RcLWn
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSipAKiprWl
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvqGthTg00
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYLxmdH2dH
不像睿靖王，那般英明神武。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznyzU4pwx8
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJleEmanba
「朕無恙，眾卿平身。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1x4Gy7LtB
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyDZWXdZ0M
眾人依言禮畢起身。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOhue2MOcV
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjz758F7z
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSWuBOQb3L
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tNvA4u0EJ
「奉皇上令諭，睿靖王及神機營護駕有功，全軍加俸半年。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF95ZS9Pw1c
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjC0vrapco
睿靖王叩首，「謝吾皇恩典，願吾皇千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DxzkJIFEu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67JRUFmU3p
殿上百餘人同聲喊著：「千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVb7ZXeFCX
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VCtsKifvg
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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dUQkIR6La
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrOylGZEHD
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbZUO3ck6H
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLAPeqLuTR
「王爺好箭法。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqvg95t50a
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH9nQ4vCkp
「要不是王爺，我等難逃此劫。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SZogIfGS5
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMs6zIpTO
「本以為神機營只會使槍，沒想到各個都是神射手。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbourfULVw1
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT45BT59uq
「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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmczz81J3tm
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ886YLEKpn2
夠了，他聽夠了。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8O3RPZYIL
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1TXwkeC0
是，和英勇的睿靖王相比，皇帝顯得如此怯懦無能。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mwSSi8AXJ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbr9snEVaF
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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4DJcTdx1S
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvErQq5DOAB
「陛下。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72DxrXkUXX
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9reIAXF4Z
朱見深佇足，萬貴妃攜著汪直追了過來。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl8hCEgwiy
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcv6uFf0rT
還好，無論發生何事，至少還有萬貴妃不會輕視他。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHcsQg79jB
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUQgrrUgiV
「汪直有密報。」萬貴妃言道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHaur5qu4s
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT6RaLl5AC
「何事？」朱見深問道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqRbIVaBxR
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm7BZPhtbx
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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhJbQXqPYz
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno8vvC9Mkr
「真有此事？」朱見深大驚，莫非這幫妖人是想害他性命？287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0t7IXu61n
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pTomDWK9x
「奴才不敢妄言。」汪直躬身下拜。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9WBeZqVvZ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTspSLpNRm
「帶人抄了那寺院，所有妖人，一概處死。」朱見深驚極反怒。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuSZ6GNs6c
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPASvMh0Lr9
「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？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIVD5jpcFl
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpihuBJ0HYW
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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5foYQQ1Oci
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxBxYpB84o
「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。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6tOTpWdUG
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6wJVWuMYU
「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。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOozks3iKbr
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh5NrbRfF4
「奴才遵旨。」汪直下跪叩首。
