656 Finale (30)
The child in front of him was in a hurry to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, obviously wanting to protect the emperor with the most resolute posture when danger appeared.
Because he probably still feels that he doesn't occupy enough weight in the emperor's heart......
He still has a lot to do.
So, tonight was an opportunity for him.
Having the opportunity in his hands, he naturally has to make the most of it - this is a rule that he has learned for a long time in the royal family over the years.
When they arrived, the Temple of Heart Cultivation was already in chaos.
A large number of dead soldiers poured into it silently and quickly like bats in the night, and the cold sword and long knife in their hands slashed through the cold rays, and the killing intent was permeated.
The eunuchs and attendants stopped in a panic, and most of them retreated, and the army was overwhelmed.
They were defenseless.
The sound of fighting and the screams of the palace maids were deafening.
"Escort!
In the inner hall, where the lamp had just been put on in his hand, Qianlong was dressed in a cloak and surrounded by guards.
“…… Where is Yu Minqing!" Qianlong asked in surprise and anger.
The assassins are all forced into the Heart Cultivation Palace, what are the guards doing!
What a bunch of rubbish.
And also...... Where did these Assassins come from, and how did they evade the defenses!
"The emperor is angry! The servants have sent someone to the guard to summon the pro-army to escort him...... Your Majesty, don't be impatient!" Gao Yun replied in a continuous voice.
But whether the people sent to the guard can get out alive or not, he actually has no bottom in his heart.
He had no idea why the guards were unaware of the Assassins' entry into the palace, and who were so slow to act—but his instincts were not good.
Because he can see it...... These Assassins were no ordinary Assassins, they were all agile, well-acted, and ruthless, like highly trained killers......
Gao Yun felt cold from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the Son of Heaven, only chanting "The emperor is angry" on the one hand, and cold sweat on the other.
"Bang dang!"
A loud bang suddenly came to my ears!
Raising his eyes, he saw that it was the commander of the guards of the Heart Cultivation Hall who slammed into the gate of the main hall fiercely, his face was covered with blood, and his throat had been locked with a knife, and the blood was spurting out continuously, which was extremely terrifying.
The palace maid on the side was so frightened that her face was like earth, and she trembled and retreated again and again, unable to even scream for a while.
"Hurry up!"
Seeing that an assassin dressed in black was about to invade the temple, Gao Yun shouted from the eyes of a cracker.
More than a dozen guards rushed forward with long knives and spears in their hands, and the rest of the inner prison attendants escorted Qianlong to the inner hall without stopping.
"Quickly report this matter to Heshen!" Qianlong ordered in a condensed voice while clutching his white fingers.
Although He Shen does not hold the power of the Ouchi guards like Yu Minqing, he has the most methods and is the best at dealing with emergencies!
If he can come, there will be a turnaround!
"Back to the emperor, I have already asked people to invite Lord He! I believe that Lord He is already on the way to arrive at this time!" Gao Yun thought of He Shen who was on duty at the military plane early on.
"Your Majesty, look at it...... It's with adults!" Gao Yun was overjoyed from his voice, as if he suddenly had a backbone.
Qianlong hurriedly looked out through the open window lattice, and saw that a team of pro-troops was coming outside the hall, and the one who walked in the front was He Shen, who was wearing a first-class crane supplement.
Qianlong's heart was just a little settled, and suddenly he heard a sound of "huh-" breaking through the air.
This sound mixed into the noisy surroundings, and it was extremely difficult to be noticed, but as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he had always followed the ancestral teachings and never dared to slack off on the art of riding and shooting, so he knew very well what it was that brought the sound!
There are even crossbowmen hiding in the shadows!
The feather arrow broke through the wind and pierced through the window lattice with precision, and the cold arrow pierced the emperor's bright yellow figure!
Qianlong had already checked, but it could be staggered, and the arrow was deeply embedded in the sandalwood screen on one side.
However, immediately afterward, another burst of fire!
"Quick...... Close the window!" Gao Yun commanded from the point of shock.
Before the eunuch who had hurried to the lattice could stretch out his hands, he was shot into the heart by an arrow and fell down with a bang.
He Shen had already rushed into the inner hall and escorted Qianlong into the warm room in the ear hall.
The location was secluded, and the guards guarded the outer layers, making it difficult for the Assassins to penetrate for a while, so it was relatively safe.
"Who is on guard tonight? How can you let the assassins run rampant like this!" Listening to the sound of fighting outside, Qianlong's anger kept rising.
This is the temple of nourishing the heart!
The Palace of Nourishing Hearts can't prevent assassins, the emperor has been surrounded by assassins in his sleep, and it's a big joke to say it!
"I have taken people to the guards to inspect them, and just half an hour ago, the Lord and the commanders of the guards everywhere fell into a coma without warning, and the imperial doctor went to see him, and concluded that it was a sign of poisoning. He Shen Zhengse replied: "It must be that the assassins have premeditated and want to cut off the way for the relatives to come to the rescue, so as to delay time——"
Qianlong's face changed greatly.
There is such a thing!
"In addition, the water that Brother walked has also been ascertained, and it is actually a deliberate attempt by a suspicious person to sneak in late at night, one is to confuse the public and divert the military strength of the Inner Palace, and the other is that the fifteenth elder brother must also be the target of the assassins. ”
The more Qianlong listened, the more frightened he felt.
"Who is so bold and reckless, and ...... the heavens!" he said, his face turned pale, and he slammed his fist on the coffee table in the conservatory.
He Shen stood on one side and frowned slightly, as if he wanted to speak but was silent.
Qianlong looked at him and said: "In a short period of time, you can sort out this matter, and lead the pro-army to escort you as soon as possible, you have done a good job, and I have never questioned your ability to do things - if you already have doubtful people, just tell me truthfully." ”
These Assassins were extraordinary.
Qianlong was also suspicious at first that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect had not been eliminated, but he soon overturned this speculation - even the White Lotus Sect, which was in the ascendant of the sky in the past, was afraid that it would be difficult to cultivate so many killers with such extraordinary skills.
Just the person who hid in the shadows and aimed the bow and crossbow at him was a hundred steps through the realm of Yang.
He had also secretly emulated the previous emperor and raised a group of dead soldiers, and now some of these people are struggling to resist as close attendants, so he also knows how much money and material resources are required to spend on this.
"The Forbidden City is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for outsiders to sneak in quietly, let alone these assassins, there are nearly a thousand people gathered outside the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time—and from the guards to the elder brother's office, they are well planned and familiar with all parts of the palace. He Shen already had something in his tone.
Qianlong's eyes became cold inch by inch.
Not people coming in from outside.
Naturally, it's in the palace......
He still underestimated this poisonous woman...... It turned out that she not only instigated Yongying to raise the dead, but also hid her forces in the secret and harbored such evil intentions!
It's terrible, hateful!
