當日稍早 紫禁城內 萬歲山313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy60MNEbBT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBdqMHQewa
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7SzjtFzHZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LHlCirA92
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ZW3NRgZr
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhbymuFF3B
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8s6txYv47
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL64bYaI8g
「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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdczp1GZ7
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V1UFVrgHc
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4mkDIQcO
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb1tzvvq1M
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg3WUIsFvc
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYD22MuTg2
「你……你看……」該名侍衛指向高處。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjouhdYABK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0jWpVWR6
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA300jJGUx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0mu7luxNb
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWBjUW49eY
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6D8wJHTQ4
「妖……妖人……」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLvpud4wBI
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmKJpEEHrT
「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。 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ4qpRDwzG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTGcwqCIxE
「是黑眚。」另一人道出其名，溫熱的尿液自胯間流下。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ccXe8jzM
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIDT0UkSEE
道士轉過頭來與兩人對視，他的雙眼殷紅如血。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK01I24bdS
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56LlkkNp8K
「快、快跑！」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PRwhb03SP
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgjn3eFSNQ
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Zd8VcTgy
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvH4pfFf6b
天明後 五海子行宮313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHTJAZ9rkQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpJZDKw6Aq
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUUG658tqz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4gX4E0FW
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggYl1cCZc4
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKrdLwoYV
他隨即遣了王太醫去為湖衣療傷，希望她能盡快痊癒。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Asx6VzLzz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19h4dP0Tj4
此行南苑圍獵，怎麼變得越來越無趣了。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtba3qInvCQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkEvcGEAio
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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVJsjUqR0t
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq31opC9r8
「什麼，你說什麼！」朱見深簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4WX2DXS8D
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4RAqNHc3
「是妖物……萬歲山……」太監嚇得臉色煞白。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQDREf8ni
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNaFUd5ofm
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6KBCaHncM
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2uU51pV15
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……」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg65gKd0wc
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7XKzUqc5e
「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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ODUviRIR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDXe5TmjF
「不，」朱見深一口回絕，「若真有妖物，朕倒想見上一見。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkcccg85Y5
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC01jLyV1n
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8gtNEOE30
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tlrfg5q1Y
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ55gmvBMQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2HoPQUTmd
「這畜生是……」朱見深驚駭莫名。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GR2v49O5M
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AsiA8mHJM
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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdDBNE8Dud
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48siqrSkt5
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3xouZoiSa
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucTlh8miKs
朱見深不禁怒氣上湧。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wx1MFod0v
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavsfWLMR9r
連上天也認為朕是個昏君。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuWNDKZjOf
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdBPP2qtBr
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUu4Hh9CPQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvae6L20m8A
「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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jt7iW1GzK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRby0bZRA5k
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN1XJHNNOL
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwunYY6fqTk
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFOgoJAzjK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdou6KcxNQG
「陛下，」貼身太監張敏著急地說：「您還是避一避吧，這裡不安全。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRtYM4sOcw
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4J2OAEcBk
「不，再等等。」朱見深依然緊盯著黑眚，一人一獸，四目相對。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8itRulURw
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWi9McKTG3
「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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYidA87qZ5v
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHWJSa5g0c
殿前侍衛統領大聲喝令：「護駕，宰了那畜牲，誓死保護皇上！」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QQYijIVN
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyHkkQSPxF
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv4rjT8pzC
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3WTw94aYL
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NZgqsHUf
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES1W7lCR3m
「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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gWgzhA2dF
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYE9gkXzVY
「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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWHlcYkWzJ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdQ4wROxws
「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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7kUG0xzW
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgaeAlRbRC
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvnjIWfdtn
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyTr7rwdv0
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ9NQd3Qmx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArXQ7GYy45
牠真是來取他性命的嗎……313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NpHapKRYz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8J4VfrERi
空中響起一聲尖鳴。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0sle2QKI8
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLImc7IjxE
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAEyWPiqTD
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRX4dis844
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNogXJ56I09
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbuG7B0XUz
一聲號令，箭雨聲嘎然而止。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXJgOtecJK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCv7dRjPWX
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMi52Id4u
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uXPenWSVV
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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV54g3UE0Ia
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42NWxMpLJi
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n88IwFuWq
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafUqOfPdru
不像睿靖王，那般英明神武。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ECTjoPZU
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95XezJNZak
「朕無恙，眾卿平身。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K8ARTkBrb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP5UUHQp1X
眾人依言禮畢起身。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS1gw7f0Sz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqgoiHkiQE
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuJsEFluAx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1tN5rUw9U
「奉皇上令諭，睿靖王及神機營護駕有功，全軍加俸半年。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKQZpprIup
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5sKzVGgsz
睿靖王叩首，「謝吾皇恩典，願吾皇千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yplNc5Ms0
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg6ucWnfwb
殿上百餘人同聲喊著：「千秋萬代，皇圖永固。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWcGPRZeE2
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICgokrpBP
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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7XCw4hGcM
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy32hLeu9o9
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMrP0HdOlV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIDoD4R5m
「王爺好箭法。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirWrzTnDoX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepVCx7LbEe
「要不是王爺，我等難逃此劫。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lNo0ZTl0d
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9nLLP1TZa
「本以為神機營只會使槍，沒想到各個都是神射手。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZiVTuPCBk
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEcnny2XpX
「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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPu27Vdhc
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfHInY4hOI
夠了，他聽夠了。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNfuZYqr5M
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE3nfYict7
是，和英勇的睿靖王相比，皇帝顯得如此怯懦無能。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zhmoVcWy1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ0jauVymw
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6C2DlEnYR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL5BfEsZbT
「陛下。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXehbJkdJW
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WQ2yMOBbt
朱見深佇足，萬貴妃攜著汪直追了過來。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZ5ySx5Hl
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ylqwhqW8A
還好，無論發生何事，至少還有萬貴妃不會輕視他。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbC6yvn5a1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrxASZk06X
「汪直有密報。」萬貴妃言道。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlN2tJMJPl
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhF2rM1WNX
「何事？」朱見深問道。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboFwgZzF3m
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKcxvhVnlO
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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjt9ddk06R
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmBYzbzlul
「真有此事？」朱見深大驚，莫非這幫妖人是想害他性命？313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SnTz3YjTJ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxObQrNr95
「奴才不敢妄言。」汪直躬身下拜。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XxogJpqOI
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D6k6hGnOP
「帶人抄了那寺院，所有妖人，一概處死。」朱見深驚極反怒。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmQsoOED1S
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH0xMTXaiZ
「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？」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OS51GjQ71
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ofWCz9uh
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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriafNfzeEb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4YMZG041K
「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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUcN2mf3Jt
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9trz4Dntmb
「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。」313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZBBntxscY
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDmTexnRka
「奴才遵旨。」汪直下跪叩首。
