502.Chapter 502: Turning the Tide
Xia Xingshen entered the palace from Mingfang Road, and if he took the carriage, it would take him about half an hour, so long time was enough for him to quickly arrange everything. Copied URL visit: 7777772e766f6474772e636f6d
Li Nansheng smiled coldly, and his glittering eyes showed determination to win.
Xia Xing sat in a two-horse carriage, which proved that he was in a hurry to enter the palace, otherwise he would choose to take a horse-drawn carriage.
After a little more street, you will arrive in front of the formidable majestic palace.
"What time is it?" the voice coming from the carriage was lazy and casual, and anyone who heard such a low, rich magnetic voice would unconsciously concentrate.
The coachman looked up at the sky before he said respectfully, "Childe, it's already the end of the Shen period." ”
"It's the end of the Shen hour, so it's getting dark"
The coachman listened to the low and lazy exclamation inside, and with a wave of the whip "snapped" and landed on the horse's back, ready to speed up.
However, before the carriage began to speed forward, more than a dozen masked black-clothed men suddenly appeared on both sides of the sparsely populated street.
They moved quickly and orderly, and it was clear that there was a clear division of labor before they acted. As soon as he appeared, there were people on both sides who pulled the rope and stumbled for the first time.
"Boom", caught off guard, the effect is outstanding, and the horse reverses and overturns.
The rest of the men in black immediately rushed up to the carriage with their weapons in their hands, and one of them pointed inside through the curtain and said coldly, "Hand over the things and spare you from death." ”
Xia Xingshen chuckled, lifted the curtain and walked out calmly, waving his hand to signal the coachman to hide aside, and then stood up straight in the face of a group of cold lights of knives or swords.
Under the pale golden sunset, his posture became more and more upright and clear. In front of these cold and faint blades, I saw that the corners of Xia Xingshen's mouth still had a slight smile on his lips, and his calm and unhurried bearing, as if these sharp blades in front of him were all tofu.
"Oh, what do you want me to hand over?"
"Books & Books"
"You come here and let us search us." Someone was excited, and immediately loudly interrupted the person who blurted out his intentions.
"I'll let you search, do you dare to search" Xia Xingshen didn't even glance at the sharp blade that Qi Qi pointed at him, still smiling gracefully, "Also, after you get something, will you really let me go?"
So easy to talk to
The black-clothed man at the head was stunned, looking at the Qingjun man in front of him who looked like a weak scholar, and he really couldn't associate him with words like martial arts.
Stunned, the leader immediately came back to his senses and shouted, "Don't fall for him." ”
I have heard that the right minister is good at dancing with long sleeves, so calm and easy to speak, but he just pretended to let them relax their vigilance.
Maybe his martial arts skills are not too high, but this eloquent mouth can say that the dead are alive, and they must not be underestimated.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let us search." The leader drank coldly, and the long sword pressed heavily on Xia Xingshen's neck.
"Okay, I'll come here." There was a pain in the neck, and it was obvious that the skin was cut and bleeding. Xia Xingshen seemed to be unconscious, still smiling slightly.
Seven or eight swords framed him in the shape of a hedgehog, and as he stepped out of the carriage and onto the open roadside, the glittering swords clung to his neck.
"Hands up." The leader snorted coldly again, and Xia Xing did so with a deep smile.
Seeing him so cooperative, the leader's guard relaxed a little. However, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, a few swords were still firmly on Xia Xingshen's neck, and then with a look, a man in black cautiously approached Xia Xingshen.
The moment the man's hands touched Xia Xingshen's body, his eyes sank, and everyone didn't know how he did it. Suddenly, Qi Qi felt his wrist stiffen, and then in the blink of an eye, he saw that the man in black who was in charge of searching his body had been inexplicably held in front of him by Xia Xingshen to block their swords.
"Now, I think it's better for everyone to stand back quietly." With the hostage in hand, Xia Xingshen did not show any arrogant posture, still smiling slightly lazy and casual, looking at the leader of the men in black, his beautiful and charming eyes did not even have a trace of anger.
It's like being tripped over and your life threatened, and it's just as common as talking about the weather.
The leader of the men in black glanced around, and when he saw that no one was approaching, his mind was settled, and he immediately sneered, "Lord Right Xiang thinks that in this situation, can you get out of our encirclement safely?"
"I think so." Xia Xingshen smiled slightly, and asked seriously, "Don't you think Your Excellency can't?"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of neat and rapid footsteps at one end of the street, and just listening to this sound, I knew that it was not an ordinary person.
The leader of the men in black changed his eyes, looked at the street, and suddenly made a gesture. The rest of the people's eyes shrank, but no one hesitated to raise their swords and stabbed at Xia Xingshen regardless of it.
Xia Xingshen didn't care, he smiled lowly, and sent the hostages in his hand to those cold light and faint blades, and then faced them with a steep hand.
"Presumptuous, bold and fanatical people dare to intercept and kill the right minister in front of the palace gate, they are simply looking for death"
With an angry shout, I soon saw a group of forbidden soldiers rushing from far and near from the end of the street.
Seeing this, those black-clothed people didn't dare to fight anymore, and after randomly shaking out a false trick to force Xia Xingshen back, they immediately pulled out and ran away from the other end of the street.
"How about the right-hand minister-sama"
The leader of the forbidden army team ran over, waved his hand hatefully and asked the rest of the people to chase the man in black, and he ran to Xia Xingshen and asked with concern.
"It's okay," Xia Xingshen smiled disapprerovingly, staring at his arm that began to flow red liquid, frowning, and sighing a little helplessly, "It's just a little flesh injury." ”
The two were polite again, Xia Xingshen refused the kindness of the forbidden army squad leader to escort him, and got into the re-found carriage and turned around and went back to the right minister's mansion.
When Li Nansheng learned that his people actually fell short in the end, he was immediately so angry that he slapped the table hard, "Rice buckets, a group of rice buckets." ”
The people were under control, and they didn't even get the things back.
"Childe is angry." The subordinate held his breath, lowered his head and said cautiously, "It is reported that he turned around and went home after being slightly injured." ”
Li Nansheng's eyes lit up, "It's true that the news is correct"
Not entering the palace means that they still have a chance to get things back.
As soon as Li Donghai saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, thought for a while, shook his head and stopped, "Second brother, this matter is not appropriate, it is better to wait for my father to come back and discuss it before making a decision." ”
Just now, he intercepted and killed the right minister in front of the palace gate, although they were not exposed, but this matter will definitely reach Emperor Chu.
Again, it's too risky.
"Don't worry, big brother, I know it in my heart." Li Nansheng glanced at him indifferently, one adventure is an adventure, and two adventures are also adventures. In that case, what is the difference between once and twice?
As long as it works out in the end, it doesn't matter how many times he takes risks.
"Second brother," Li Donghai couldn't help but sink his face when he saw that he insisted on not listening, "Are you still planning to let people attack the Right Prime Minister's Mansion at night?"
Li Nansheng looked at him confidently and smiled faintly, "Big brother, don't worry, I didn't plan to attack the Right Prime Minister's Mansion at night with great fanfare." ”
At most, he just let people sneak into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion quietly, as long as he brought back what he wanted.
Seeing this, Li Donghai knew that he couldn't listen to the advice, so he sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice, "Then you must be careful and never reveal your identity." ”
Whether it was an assassination or a night attack, Xia Xingshen was an important minister of the imperial court, and once Emperor Chu was angry, everyone in the capital wanted to have a good life.
Li Nansheng smiled proudly, "Don't worry, big brother, I know the severity." ”
Night is coming soon, and in the middle of the night, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion ushered in a group of uninvited guests who were blindfolded from head to toe in black.
Originally, the theft of the account book and the salt introduction went very smoothly, because Xia Xingshen was injured, and before going to bed, he drank some decoction to help calm the nerves according to the doctor's instructions, of course, for the sake of insurance, he kept the account book and salt introduction by his side.
But because of this bowl of tranquilizer, I slept very deeply this night, and when these men in black stole it, it was surprisingly smooth.
However, for some reason, just as the men in black took their things in their hands and were about to leave, someone accidentally kicked over the stool.
It woke up the people who were keeping vigil next to him, and also alarmed the sleeping right minister.
After some siege, the man in black somehow lost what he had in his hand, and then escaped from the right prime minister's mansion in disgrace.
Although the account book and salt lead were saved in the end, Xia Xingshen was accidentally injured again under the vicious assassination of the man in black.
The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was attacked in the middle of the night, and the Right Prime Minister was injured twice in order to protect the evidence. This matter was urgently reported to Emperor Chu as soon as it was dawn, and then it was linked to the interception and killing of the right minister in front of the palace gate yesterday, and Emperor Chu was immediately furious.
In view of the fact that Xia Xingshen was injured twice, this morning, Xia Xingshen had no choice but to ask Emperor Chu for leave to recuperate in the palace.
As soon as General Li Huaitian, who had returned to Beijing from other places, returned to the capital, Li Donghai immediately hurriedly told him the whole story.
At the end, Li Donghai asked ashamedly and anxiously, "Father, what should we do now?"
Your Majesty has been alarmed, and the matter of the salt shop on Ronghua Street must not be hidden.
Li Huaitian frowned, glanced at Li Nansheng, who was looking anxious, and then fell on Li Donghai, who was obviously at a loss, and said with disappointment, "Why are you doing things more and more indiscriminately?"
Such an unreliable thing as intercepting and killing the right prime minister and attacking the right prime minister's mansion at night has been done
I don't want to think about who Xia Xingshen is
It was a man as cunning as a fox, and his two sons wanted to fight with others, but they were too tender.
Sighing, Li Huaitian, as a military general, is actually not good at this kind of conspiracy and calculation, and thought silently for a while, so he had to say, "Don't act rashly, this matter will be talked about when I enter the palace and see the queen mother." ”
Fortunately, Xia Xingshen is now injured and recuperating in the mansion, and the evidence against them has not yet been presented to His Majesty, and they still have a chance to turn things around
