Chapter 245: Hijacking

As he spoke, a Praetorian Guard was sweating profusely and rushed in in a panic to report: "Your Majesty, the traitor Zhu Yi and his men were driven away by the Praetorian Guards and fled into Shoukang Palace in a panic. Now Commander Wu has led the Praetorian Guards to surround Shoukang Palace, but the traitor has taken Concubine Xian Niangniang and other concubines of Shoukang Palace as a threat, and asked the emperor to show what to do next? ”

Zhu Xian's face turned pale, and he muttered, "How could it be so coincidental? "In fact, it is not a coincidence, the Queen Mother's Cining Palace and Concubine Xian's Shoukang Palace are very close to each other, which is the only way for Zhu Yi to escape. It's just that it stands to reason that there are only a few concubines in the palace, and the guards of the palace should be extremely thorough, how could they let Zhu Yi and his men break in so easily?

Concubine Xian's indisputable, indifferent and indifferent hibiscus face inadvertently broke into his mind. Concubine Xian is also an old man who was included in the palace when he was the prince, although she has not been favored over the years, she still sits firmly on the concubine throne, because she has no quarrel with the world that makes Zhu Xian feel at ease.

It's a pity that Zhu Xian's reluctance is also very limited, and in a blink of an eye, he put away the gloom on his face, and said unusually coldly: "Tell Wu Qifeng that it's useless for the traitor Zhu Yi to use anyone as a shield." After an hour, if he still can't take down the traitor, let him bring his head to see him. ”

"Yes." The Praetorian Guards received the exact decree, immediately clasped their fists and saluted, and quickly left.

Guo Chengsi couldn't sit still, he got up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the minister asks for an order to go and help Commander Wu." ”

Zhu Xian slowed down his tone and persuaded in a good voice: "Heir, the injuries on your body are not light. There is already a trend of encirclement over there. It would be difficult for the traitor to fly out even if he had wings, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught. You'd better wait here with me for good news! ”

Guo Chengsi said in a deep voice: "The minister's father and mother have fallen into the hands of the thief, and the minister wants to catch the thief with his own hands in exchange for the safety of his father." Please ask the emperor for your permission. ”

Zhu Xian couldn't help but change color when he heard this, and he said angrily with gritted teeth: "Go!" I'm right. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Guo Chengsi clenched his fists, turned around and strode away.

Zhao Quan looked at the bandage on his back that was faintly bleeding, and said with great admiration: "In terms of loyalty to the emperor, if this General Wuxian is considered second, no one dares to be cheeky and first." ”

Zhu Xian's withered face became more and more gloomy, and after being silent for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Not bad." The heir is excellent, and he will be one of the pillars of the assistant prince in the future. ”

The eunuch and the body of the palace maid who were lost outside the Shoukang Palace. There was a thick smell of blood. On the high courtyard wall, one after another iron bows were set up that were rounded, and countless sharp arrows shining with cold light were aimed at a side hall on the right side of Shoukang Palace.

The door of the side hall was closed, and the concubine Xian and several low-ranking concubines who lived in the side hall were locked in it. Because most of them were pulled up and forcibly driven over in their sleep, all of these women were wearing middle clothes. With hair dishevelled. Embarrassed hugging each other and shivering.

Among these women, Concubine Xian has the highest status, and she is familiar with Zhu Yi, so she boldly said: "Lord Wang, we are all poor people who have been abandoned, please let our sisters live!" ”

"Lord Wang, you have a good heart, let me go!"

"Lord Wang, the slave family is just a little beauty. I haven't even seen the emperor's face, and the emperor won't care. Please spare the slaves."

Concubine Xian just started, and the other low-ranking concubines cried and cried, chattering and screaming. "Shut up, shut up, shut up for me!" Zhu Yi roared violently: "If anyone makes a little more noise, this king will cut out someone's tongue." ”

At this moment, Zhu Yi's hair was scattered, his eyes were red, and the blood-stained sword in his hand had opened countless small openings because of the fighting, and the whole person looked like a soul who had escaped from hell. None of the concubines in the house would suspect his threat, so they all gagged themselves in horror, for fear that a demon who accidentally angered the demon in front of him would become a ghost under the sword.

Zhu Yi put away the sword with a brush, and he paced back and forth in the side hall with great impatience, looking uneasy. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and when he looked back, it was two chamberlains dressed in eunuch service who hurried to arrive.

They strode in front of Zhu Yi and gasped: "Lord Wang, Yao Jinse's body was carried out of the Qianqing Palace, and she missed. ”

"What? She also missed? Zhu Yi muttered in disbelief, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes seemed to disappear. Yao Jinse is his deepest buried chess piece, just like Cai Yin, who was arranged by Zhu Xian to his side. I have never done any other task, just to give the other party the most fatal blow at the most critical time. Why did Caiyin succeed but Yao Jinse failed?

"Is it really heaven that is going to kill me!" Zhu Yi was extremely unwilling to look up to the sky and roared! The already frightened concubines were so frightened that they were all trembling.

Zhu Yi's handsome face was so distorted that people didn't dare to look at it directly, and he looked around. No matter who met him, his scarlet and tyrannical eyes trembled, and they were secretly frightened. Zhu Yi said with hideous and desperate eyes: "Since God doesn't bless me, all sisters-in-law will stop blaming the ministers and brothers for pulling you on the road together." ”

He jerked out the sword from its sheath, and a few drops of blood from the sword splattered out, squirting out the pale face of Concubine Xian. Several women in the side hall couldn't help but scream in a panic when they heard this, and one of them even fainted in fright.

"Wait, Lord Wang!" Several of Zhu Yi's subordinates hurriedly rushed over and hugged his waist and arms respectively, stopping Zhu Yi's crazy behavior. They still want to follow Zhu Yibo to make a fortune, but they don't want to die quietly like this. So they persuaded one after another: "The prince is angry, even if we lose the game in front of us temporarily, we can re-lay the next game, as long as we don't die, there will be hope." ”

Zhu Yi smiled miserably: "If you make a mistake, you will lose all the games, Zhu Xian will not give me another chance to turn over." Rather than let him be captured alive and humiliated in all kinds, this king might as well have a good time. ”

"Lord, lord, you forgot, there is Cining Palace in front. As long as we enter Cining Palace, we will have a glimmer of life. The subordinates holding his waist shouted desperately: "Now the emperor is terminally ill, as long as we seek the protection of the queen mother, we will not die." Even if we will be immediately put in prison of the Criminal Department, as long as we survive until the day when the emperor dies, we will have a chance to make a comeback. ”

"I also want to enter Cining Palace." Zhu Yi smiled bitterly: "It's just that from Qianqing Palace to Shoukang Palace, our people are almost dead, and if you want to break into the Cining Palace, which has already laid countless nets of heaven and earth, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." ”

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, we can ask Concubine Xian to lead the way." The subordinate said unhurriedly: "Concubine Xian is a palace concubine of the second grade, and in terms of identity, I am afraid that she is a whole level higher than Wu Qifeng outside." Let's take advantage of the chaos and ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to lead the way, as long as a few steps can enter the Cining Palace, we have hope of living. ”

These words made Concubine Xian, who was already flustered, so shocked that she almost turned her back on her breath, but made Zhu Yi, who was full of despair, regain a glimmer of hope. He grabbed Concubine Xian's trembling wrist tightly and said with a cruel smile: "Since this is the case, there is Concubine Lao Xianniang." ”

Wu Qifeng happened to hear what Zhu Xian said, and he must take Zhu Yi's will in an hour. He had just raised his hand and was about to give the order to attack, when he saw the closed door being pushed open with a "snap". I saw Concubine Xian, who was wearing a lotus-colored middle coat, with black hair scattered and a pale face of fear, being pushed and shoved, and staggered out.

Concubine Xian's slender and slender neck also rested with a steel knife overflowing with cold light, and her thin body protected the vital point of the person behind her. I heard the man shout, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." This is your noble concubine, if you are accidentally injured, be careful that your dog's head is not protected. ”

Wu Qifeng's eyes sank, and then he raised his hand and shouted: "Wait!" If you have something to say, you let go of Concubine Xian Niangniang first. ”

Seeing that Wu Qifeng really threw a mouse bogey, the man couldn't help but be very proud in his heart, he slowly pushed the trembling concubine out of the side hall, and behind him, several low-ranking concubines were also put on their necks with knives, and they were pushed out very unwillingly. There were also two or three of Zhu Yi's subordinates hidden behind them, but it was very dark, and they were all wearing crimson clothes, and Wu Qifeng couldn't see who Zhu Yi was hiding behind for a while.
