Chapter 33: A Fight of Life and Death
Shen Ze had injuries on his hands, and his actions were not as flexible as before, but the assassin was ruthless, regardless of his own safety, he went straight to the opponent's vital point, even if he was injured, he had to kill the person in front of him as soon as possible. In several battles, Shen Ze's condition was frequent, and he almost died several times. The crisis did not make him retreat, but aroused the blood in his heart, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became. The Queen Mother has been withdrawn under the protection of the palace people, and Shen Ze only needs to pester her until the master on the emperor's side has finished solving the assassins and rushed over for reinforcements. Realizing this, Shen Ze cheered up, only defended and did not attack, but he could also fight with that assassin.
The female assassin watched the Queen Mother go farther and farther, but she was so anxious that she was entangled by Shen Ze, and she became more and more resentful in her heart. There is no hope of assassinating the Queen Mother at the moment, after all, she is a daughter and lacks stamina. If she continues to fight, she will not only exhaust her body, but also attract the masters of the palace guards, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for her. After figuring it out, the female assassin stopped saving her body and used her most powerful killing move.
The gold belt in her left hand went straight to Shen Ze's face, and when the other party was sideways to avoid it, she gently hooked her right hand, and the gold belt in her hand was like a spiritual snake, taking the opportunity to wrap around the opponent's neck. The left hand let go of the gold belt that he was originally holding, grabbed the other end that was wrapped around the other party's neck, turned his body slightly, made a whirl, pulled with his backhand, and immediately dragged Shen Ze with his back to him. The two of them were back to back, Shen Ze was strangled by the gold belt and fell on the assassin's back, the female assassin bowed forward sharply, his feet were off the ground, and he tightened the gold belt with all his strength, and he was bound to strangle this person on the spot!
Shen Ze struggled to insert a finger into the tightened gold belt around his neck, trying to give himself a chance to breathe. But under the full force of the female assassin, this finger did not have the slightest effect, and was almost broken. Shen Ze was strangled and rolled his eyes, his eyes gradually blurred, and he couldn't hold on anymore.
After all, I am still not strong enough, and I am going to die here? The extreme lack of oxygen made his hands and feet begin to weaken, and he knew in his heart that he was probably doomed. It's a pity, it's a pity that although I saved the Queen Mother, I couldn't save my father...... Thinking of his father, Shen Ze saw the last time he saw him, and when he urged him to leave quickly, only three words were written in his tearful eyes: live! Recalling that look, Shen Ze was sober in vain, he already had the skill to save the driver, and he was about to be able to save his father, how could he just give up? Even if he is about to die, he must hold on until he begs the emperor to let Bi Tuo rush back to take his father out of Beijing to recuperate, and then he can swallow his last breath!
The obsession in his heart stimulated the last potential of Shen Ze's body, and he lifted his feet, which had been lifted off the ground by the female assassin's back, made a carp beating motion, pressed down heavily, and suddenly stood on the ground. Then he bent down again, learning from the female Assassin to carry her on his back.
The female assassin turned her back to him, unable to see his movements, nor did she expect her opponent, who had gradually lost her struggle, to fight back in vain. Since her debut, the opponents who have fallen for this trick have all ended up being strangled to death, and no one has ever come up with such a solution. In the shock, she was unstable and was carried by Shen Ze with her feet off the ground. In this posture, the female assassin had nowhere to borrow strength, and although the gold belt in her hand still did not release the opponent's neck, the strength she used was much less than before.
At this moment, a cold light flashed, and the master sent by the emperor to reinforce arrived. The female assassin was still holding the gold belt tightly in her hands at this time, and she was entangled with Shen Ze, and one of her arms was cut off by the sword of the enemy who suddenly joined. The repeated struggles and the sudden severe pain in her broken arm made her snort and fainted directly. The forbidden troops who came from all around immediately stepped forward and tied her up.
Shen Ze, whose neck was liberated, also collapsed to the ground, panting loudly without any image. It was only after he came back to life that he realized how wonderful it was to be able to breathe heavily. "Shizi, are you alright? The lower official is late, please forgive the son. "It was Wei Ling, the commander of the forbidden army, who just made a move. As soon as the danger on the emperor's side was eliminated, he immediately ordered him to rush over to save the queen mother. Wei Ling first found the Queen Mother, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, he was ordered by the Queen Mother to rush to rescue Shen Ze, so there was a delay.
Shen Ze was still panting, speechless, and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. After a while, Shen Ze, who had finally recovered himself, spoke in a hoarse voice: "Except for a slight injury to my arm and fingers, there are no other major problems, Commander Wei can rest assured." ”
"The prince has a meritorious role in saving the Queen Mother Feng this time, and the Queen Mother instructed, please go to Fengqi Palace immediately after you get out of danger." Wei Ling clasped his hands into fists and bowed down to please.
When Shen Ze heard this, he wanted to stand up, but unfortunately his limbs were still weak and he had no strength. Wei Ling waved his hand, and a personal guard hurried away, and after a short time, he brought two little eunuchs carrying a soft sedan chair. Wei Ling stepped forward in person and was about to help Shen Ze get into the sedan chair, but he suddenly said: "Commander Wei is slow, I still have something to say." ”
"I don't know what else the prince commands?"
"I also remembered it suddenly. Judging by the actions of the assassin just now, he must have been a dead soldier raised by a certain force. Now that he has failed, this kind of dead man will definitely judge himself after he wakes up, and Commander Wei must not take it lightly. ”
When Wei Ling heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He had just taken down the female assassin by accident, and he didn't expect this at all. The rest of the Assassins were exhausted from the struggle and were killed on the spot, so he had no idea what would happen if they were captured alive. This assassin was the only one alive so far, and if anything went wrong under his custody, he would not escape the emperor's wrath.
Therefore, Wei Ling bowed to Shen Ze gratefully: "Thank you Shizi for mentioning something!" Xia Guan almost made a big mistake! ”
Shen Ze's throat hurt hotly, so he just shook his head slightly, signaling that he didn't have to take it to heart.
Sitting in the sedan chair heading to Fengqi Palace, Shen Ze recalled today's events, and added a little amazement to his gratitude to the miraculous woman who was always ahead of the curve. Today, he acted according to the plan made by the girl everywhere, and he actually made a contribution to saving the driver so smoothly, and he also mentioned Wei Ling through Guò and formed a good fate. That girl doesn't leave the house, but she can anticipate all kinds of situations, and Zhuge Liang recorded in the ancient books is nothing more than that. He has completed the most difficult step to save the driver, and the next step is to persuade the queen mother, the emperor. Recalling Zhihua's expected reactions and responses, Shen Ze solemnly reminded himself not to be careless and not to fail in this crucial step.
After a while, the gate of Fengqi Palace appeared in front of him.
