On the last day of March, it is the annual festival of prayer for the gods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As in previous years, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Tokyo City all came to watch, and the inner and outer three layers were surrounded by water, shoulder to shoulder, and it was not lively. This year, in order to show his closeness to the people and show his love for the people like a son, the emperor specially arranged a route back to the palace, detouring from the altar to Beiwu Street, and then returning to the palace from Beiwu Street, probably going around the entire city of Tokyo for half a circle.

There are hundreds of civil and military officials before and after, guards of the Yulin Army, and people outside. The majesty of the Heavenly Family is supreme and inviolable to anyone. The emperor and the queen mother ascended the altar and sacrificed to heaven and earth, praying for the prosperity of the Zhou country and the peace and contentment of the people. Then the witch blessing method was used to convey the will of the heavens, and as for what was conveyed, the people did not know, because it was too far away and could not hear anything.

It was probably at the time of Shen that the solemn prayer ceremony ended. Now that it's over, it's natural to go back to the palace. The Queen Mother was escorted by Yun Changfeng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and returned to the palace from the nearest street. And the emperor followed the hundred officials and walked into Beiwu Street, and he also deliberately lifted the curtain and beckoned to the people, how lively and lively he wanted to be, and how much publicity he wanted.

When you reach the middle of Beiwu Street, it is the people who are crowded, and the most congested section of the road is a happy scene, but it is blocked by a house beam that falls from the sky. The beams were not so long or so high, and they could fall from the sky in front of the emperor's chariot, so someone must have thrown them on purpose. So immediately, a Yulin army shouted: "There are assassins, escort." ”

The common people look at the excitement and look at the excitement, and when they encounter a life-and-death problem, they run faster than anyone else, regardless of whether they are looking at the emperor or not. So in less than a cup of tea, there was no one else on Beiwu Street except for the guards of the Yulin Army and a bright yellow chariot in the middle of the street.

The birds fly, the wind rises, and the murderous spirit comes. The emperor is fighting the world on horseback, so he is naturally familiar with this sudden change in breath, and his eyes are instantly like fire. Suddenly, from the houses on both sides of the street, more than two dozen men in black suddenly appeared, some appeared by the door, some stood on the walled courtyard, and some stood on the roof. Dressed in black, with a sword in hand, ready to go.

A grim smile appeared at the corner of the emperor's mouth on the chariot, hum, it's finally here.

The guards surrounded the officials in the middle, and the officials surrounded the chariot in the middle, fortunately, the queen mother returned to the palace first, otherwise, it would be even more difficult to get out. The streets are narrow, so it's easy to take over, but it's not easy to get out safely. The emperor was at ease, looking at the man in black who appeared in front of him, the corner of his mouth sneered, and said, "Catch me alive." ”

The left commander of the Yulin Army waved his long sword and shouted: "Protect the emperor, catch the alive, kill." ”

For a while, the sound of swords, fighting, and roars were mixed together, and Beiwu Street, which was quiet on weekdays, was even more lively than the vegetable market at the moment. Families ran into the house with their children in their arms, closed the doors and windows, and peeked out only their two eyes through the cracks in the windows, watching the sword collision outside.

The emperor slowly stepped out of the chariot, and Gonggong Ma, who was waiting in front of the car, immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is dangerous, you should wait in the car!" ”

"If you don't go out, how can people who hide in the shadows be willing to come out." He had been observing just now, and on the roof of the house in front of him, half a human head was popping out, and a pair of eyes were watching the battle! Presumably that was the person he was going to arrest.

"But, Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, you ......"

"Don't follow, it's a holy decree." As he spoke, the emperor walked out bypassing him, ignoring the sound of fighting behind him. Leaving Ma Gonggong alone to stand in place and be in a hurry, it is not impossible to keep up. If the emperor has a case, the queen mother will not be allowed to pick his skin after he goes back?

The Emperor walked steadily to a dilapidated house, looking at the moss-stained steps and the mottled beams and doors. Is this where Moyu lived when she was a child? Looking at the dilapidated scene, I can also imagine how serious the fire was, if Moyu was in it at that time, how sorry it would be for her to be in her teens. It's just that luckily at the time, she wasn't in it.

When he was that age, it happened to be when he went to his uncle's house. At that time, he was not too smart, his hands and feet were stupid, and other children often bullied him. Those days were deeply imprinted in his mind. He suddenly envied Mo Yu a little, even if she lived in such a poor place, at least she was happy. Of course, this had to be before the house burned down.

The Yuan family ruined her only warmth, ruined her home, ruined her happiness, and killed her only loved one, even if there is hatred, it is not too much. But she only drove the Yuan family out of the capital, and did not kill them all, her heart was still kind. Heaven has been so kind to her and has given her a pure heart. Even he may not be so forgiving.

The cold wind behind him hit his spine, the corner of the emperor's mouth sent out a sneer, he didn't turn his head, he picked his toes, and a wooden stick on the ground appeared in his hand as if someone had pulled it, and on the side of his body, the wooden stick in his hand resisted the tip of the sword that stabbed him, and the jade bead on the crown flickered. When the tip of the stabbing sword retreated, and he heard the sound of the sword strikes of the soldiers, he slowly turned around, looked coldly at the two people in the fight, and said, "Beat him out, don't disturb the undead here." ”

The assassin was hiding on the roof to observe the battle, but when he saw the emperor walking in alone, he thought that his opportunity had come, so he went here with a light skill, and attacked him while he was unprepared. Unexpectedly, the emperor's back seemed to have eyes, and a wooden stick accurately resisted his attack, and at the same time, a murderous aura came from his back, and he had to give up the emperor in front of him and tremble with the people who came in.

But when I saw who the person who came out of nowhere, I couldn't help but be surprised, and blurted out: "Why are you?" ”

Yetian picked up the good-looking peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "You must be very depressed, why don't I stay in my mansion well, but appear here, right?" You look surprised when you see me. It seems that you have been observing me for a long time. ”

"Hmph." The Assassin couldn't get used to his grinning face, and stabbed at him with his sword. While attacking, he shouted to the people behind him, "Withdraw, retreat." "The appearance of this person, things are too strange, just in case, you have to withdraw and save your strength.

"It's too late to shout for withdrawal now." The night sky does not show weakness, and it is head-on. This time, there was no grinning face, and he was concentrating on dealing with him.

After dozens of rounds, the assassin gradually couldn't resist and was defeated, especially when he saw his companions being taken down one by one, he was even more anxious, and he was beaten to the ground by the night for a while, and he couldn't get up again.

The fighting has stopped, the battle ahead has ended, and the assassins who are taken down are naturally self-defeating. The doors of the houses slowly opened, and gradually more people gathered around them. Ye Tian saw that it was almost over, so he looked up at the emperor who was walking slowly in the distance, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do with these assassins?" ”

The emperor walked up to them, pointed to the man that Ye Tian had just caught, and said, "You are the one they lead, you think you are here to wait for the rabbit, but you don't know that you are already the rabbit I want to catch." Hum. This street is indeed the best place to start, you have a good vision, but it is a pity that you are outnumbered and hit stones with eggs. ”

The head of the Assassin was surprised, "How did you know we were going to lay an ambush here?" ”

One of the Assassins behind him wondered, "Head, are there traitors among us?" ”

"Shut up." The Assassin shouted, "There can't be anyone like this among us, it's only because we're not as good as others." ”

Yetian clapped his hands and praised: "You deserve to be their head, decisive and courageous." Do you know why you failed? Because from the beginning it was a stake. Do you think what you heard in the vault was something you overheard? ”

The assassin looked at Yetian incredulously and said, "It turns out that you deliberately let us hear it. ”

The Golden Vault is one of the brothels on Forget Worry Street, full of foreign women bought by human traffickers from others. They have hot bodies, big and round eyes, unrestrained smiles, and most importantly, they are not as subtle and shy as the women of the Central Plains in that regard. The dignitaries and nobles in the capital, the children of rich families, have tasted the taste of the Central Plains women, and they also like to change their tastes. Therefore, the business of the gold house is very good, but the money is getting rich, so the owner of this brothel called this building the gold house. Simple, concise, and to the point.

One night, a rich kid went there for recreation, drank three rounds, dizzy, and had no way to speak, and went crazy on the spot, pointing at people and shouting: "I am the best, who do you think you are, even if you are a celebrity, isn't it also a sunset now?" Cut. ”

The people around him came to persuade him to go upstairs to rest, and the girl came to help him in person. When the drunkard saw the beauty in his arms, he immediately smiled and said, "Little beauty, don't worry, when I become the chief envoy, I will redeem you, and you will be the wife of the main house for me." ”

The little beauty glanced at him with disgust and said, "Cut, who do you think you are, I am not uncommon to be your wife, there is food and drink, I don't want to suffer with you." ”

"Little beauty, you are wrong about this, in a short time, I will be the chief envoy of the Privy Council, you will be my wife, you will not suffer, haha."

The little beauty opened the door and helped the drunk man into the room, "Cut, don't think that this girl is illiterate and wants to fool this girl, this privy envoy is the night sky, which onion are you?" ”

The sound of two men falling on the bed came from the room, and the drunkard said, "What, he is now locked up in his house, and he can't go anywhere." Alas, baby, let me kiss you, come. ”

"Dead ghost, go away, even if people are locked up, maybe they will be released again after a while?"

"Oops, beauty. How could the emperor let go of the man who slept with his woman, he was dead. Baby, come on, ah! ”

There was no more talk in the room, only the tearing of clothes, the squeaking of men and women, and the creaking and wheezing of the bedboards. As for what the two of them are doing in the room, they don't need to think about it or look at it. Now that I think about it, it's all a trap they set up.

They are indeed the main person who guards the night sky, and this person is deeply trusted by the emperor, not because he has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, but because he is really powerful. The first few times he caught spies, he took the lead in arresting, and last year's attack on Zhou by the Northern Han Dynasty was the grain and grass he secretly transported. Thoughtful and ruthless, he is the right-hand man of the emperor's side. They did send someone to investigate, since that day after the rumors in the capital, the emperor secretly ordered him to be locked up in the palace, and there were heavy soldiers outside the palace, and the concubine in the palace was also grounded.

They thought that this time there was one less night, and the operation would be much smoother. Because the commander of the Yulin Army has escorted the Queen Mother back to the palace from another way, on this side of Beiwu Street, it is just some wine bags and rice bags, who knows that it will be a night halfway.

In fact, this is just a ploy offered by Yetian and Sikong to the emperor, the emperor caught the spies mixed in the city of Tokyo, and Yetian was able to blame them for the rumors. Solved the siege of Moyu, and also relieved the siege of Yetian.

The leader saw that the matter was irreparable, and according to Liu Yanling's instructions before departure, if the action failed, even if he died, he would have to pull a cushion. So he immediately raised his head, turned his head to look at Yetian, and shouted, "Yetian, didn't you tell us that this matter is foolproof?" Why did you betray us? ”

Yetian was a little blind, how could he talk about him, blinked innocently and asked, "Your Excellency, who are you, do I know you?" Don't be a mad dog biting people! "Why did Father-in-law An come to this time, and this person also came to this trick!

"Yetian, don't pretend, you have made a promise with our lord to ensure our safety in Tokyo and provide us with reliable information, why did you lie to us?" The more he said to the end, the more angry the Assassin became, as if it really was right.

Isn't this thing jumping a little fast? Looking at the surrounding officials and guards, he couldn't turn around with a blank face, Yetian raised his head, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please don't believe their nonsense"

The emperor looked coldly at the accusation of the leader kneeling on the ground at this moment, although his face did not change, but the fingers behind his back turned the wrench in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "What is your relationship with Gonggong An in the palace?" ”

This time it's the assassin's turn to be blinded, Gonggong An in the palace? Could it be the father-in-law An who caught him outside the city gate before? But it's okay with them! Immediately nodded and said, "I don't know what Grandpa An?" ”

"Presumptuous," the emperor said angrily: "I dare to say that I don't know, Gonggong An slandered Concubine Li before he died, and he had a personal affair with Yetian." You are the same, before you die, you slandered Yetian for colluding with you. It's like you've agreed that even if you die, you're going to pull a cushion, aren't you? You must be the spies of the enemy country who infiltrated Tokyo, and wanted to shake the country of Zhou, and did not hesitate to spread rumors in the streets, trying to disturb the court, and their hearts can be punished. Taking advantage of my outing today, I intended to assassinate, and my sin is unforgivable. When people come, all of them are pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market, and they are immediately executed, so as not to pollute the roads of the people. ”

The leader of the assassins struggled, "We haven't done it, why admit it, Yetian, you traitor." ”

The Emperor said angrily, "Shut their mouths." ”

"Woo...... Mmmm......mm

Ye Tian looked up at the bright yellow figure sitting on the chariot, under the twelve jade beads, red and yellow, white and black, he couldn't see his expression, only from his clenched fists, he could know how angry he was at the moment. Ye Tian's heart was pounding, he couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, assuming that the emperor really believed the assassin's words just now, then he would face a catastrophe.

"Your Majesty......" Gonggong Ma shouted softly from the side. The assassin has been taken away, what are you going to do next? Staying here? There are also civil and military officials and guards! "The Emperor's ......"

The emperor slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Okay, everything has been revealed, go back to the palace!" ”

Ma Gonggong took two steps forward, tore at his slender voice, and shouted, "Get up and go back to the palace." ”

After a life-and-death battle, the people no longer wanted to come forward to see the emperor they admired, everyone just stood at the gate of their courtyard, watching the large group of people slowly pass in front of them, and then disappear from their sight.

In the huge scene, only the sound of walking and armor was heard, and there was no more talking. It's quiet, it's terrifyingly quiet.

Later, there was another rumor in the market, saying that the previous rumors about Concubine Li and Yetian having a personal affair were all spread by the spies of this empire, in order to disrupt the order of the Zhou State so that they could take advantage of the situation. It turns out that Concubine Li and Lord Night are both innocent. Even if some courtiers were still skeptical, saying that the Assassin did not admit it at that time? The emperor replied directly, you went to be a thief and were discovered, will you admit that you went to steal something? Silence the ministers.
