Chapter 149: Well-planned
In addition, Wang Dalong also saw it, even if his subordinates did not rush forward. Those three masters, who didn't know what their identities were, had actually controlled the scene. Coupled with his subordinates with good skills, the remaining assassins who are just trapped beasts fighting at the moment can't last long.
The most important thing at the moment is to be vigilant, there is a new assassin who has emerged, and injured the prince who is now seriously injured, this is the most critical problem. So Wang Dalong, who had already seen the situation of the scene, did not rush forward. Instead, he was by Huang Qiong's side, closely guarded.
These guards, who were already a step late when they arrived, definitely didn't expect that their usual masters, who seemed to be polite and polite, were not only good at martial arts, but also definitely masters of their skills. That Mrs. Chen is at least second-rate. The corpses on the ground are the masterpieces of his own master, and the Madame Chen, who was already unconscious at this time.
If it weren't for the poison on his body, and the actual combat experience was too bad. Even if you can't take these people, there is still no problem with self-preservation. These guards all thought that these three masters had inadvertently saved their prince, but they didn't think too much about it. Seeing that the victory and defeat in the field were scored, Wang Dalong said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, is it to leave a living mouth so that you can track down the real murderer?" ”
Hearing Wang Dalong's thoughts, Huang Qiong, who was holding back her dizziness, pointed to a mask on the ground that had been slashed off by his palm in the previous battle. The exposed face, as if it had been scalded by boiling water, was covered with scars, and the assassin who couldn't see his true face at all said: "No need, these people are all dead soldiers, and even if they catch them alive, they can't ask anything." ”
Sure enough, it seemed to verify Huang Qiong's words. Several have fallen into the end of the road, and several attempts to break through have been unsuccessful. After seeing the four companions being killed again, the last two assassins who knew that it was impossible for them to escape were directly inserted into the bodies of their companions, killing themselves directly.
However, Huang Qiong did not see this scene. Not only the onset of toxicity, but he could no longer hold on to it. The blood in his lower body was flowing more and more, and the corners of his mouth were constantly vomiting blood, and Chen Yao, who was in urgent need of medical treatment now, made him lose his mind to see what the result was. The order to kill has been issued, and he has no strength to worry about the rest.
Before falling into a coma, Huang Qiong used the last bit of strength to take out a jade pendant from his arms and hand it to a guard. Let him wait for something here, and go on a trip to the Immeasurable Temple. After inviting a few people there, along with these people in the field, to return to the palace, they hurriedly returned to the palace under the escort of Wang Dalong and the two guards who were summoned back.
Huang Qiong left in such a hurry that she couldn't even greet a few people in the field. Although it is closer to the Infinite Temple, it is more appropriate for the two people who are in urgent need of medical treatment to go back to the house first. What's more, it's no longer Huang Qiong's turn to call the shots. After telling the guard to run for him on a trip to the Immeasurable Observatory, Huang Qiong had fallen into a coma.
Seeing Huang Qiong falling into a coma, Wang Dalong couldn't care about anything else. Put Huang Qiong and Chen Yao into the sedan chair where the sedan chair driver had been killed and there was no one to carry it at the moment. He took another guard and started the sedan chair himself. Carrying this small sedan chair that had no roof, he hurried all the way to the British Palace.
When he arrived at the British Palace, Wang Dalong didn't even dare to fake others. After sending a guard to invite the doctor Li, he personally carried Huang Qiong and Chen Yao, who had fallen into a coma, into Huang Qiong's bedroom carefully. When Dr. Li rushed over to check his pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After the doctor Li rushed over, Wang Dalong said to Jia Quan, who rushed to hear the news: "Mr. Jia, the prince will hand it over to you to take care of first, and I will immediately enter the palace to report this matter to the emperor." These people dared to intercept and kill a prince in broad daylight close to the capital. There must be an extremely powerful black hand behind it, and we will definitely not be able to find out with the strength of our British Royal Mansion alone. ”
"In addition, the blades of these people are coated with poison, and the prince is now extremely injured. There is also that Mrs. Chen, whose injuries are also quite light. I'm worried that Dr. Li alone won't be able to cope with the injuries of two people. I'd better go into the palace and ask the emperor to send someone to help deal with it. ”
"Also, I have to report this matter and ask for punishment. It's all my fault for this, if I could have persevered and didn't let the prince go alone, the prince might not be in danger. This is my dereliction of duty, and I must ask the emperor for punishment. If something really happens to the prince, I will be to blame for it. ”
"Damn, I just said that I can't come to the capital, life here is ** easy, and I forgot even the most basic vigilance when I was comfortable. As a result, an irreparable mistake was made. Speaking of this, Wang Dalong hammered his head with his fist in annoyance, with a look of remorse.
Jia Quan likes Wang Dalong, the leader of the guards who has always been loyal to Huang Qiong, upright and delicate, since he was sent to Huang Qiong by the emperor's side. Of course, this guy has another mission besides protecting his prince, except for that.
Seeing that Wang Dalong blamed himself for his dereliction of duty, Jia Quan hurriedly said: "Dalong, don't rush into the palace first, let alone blame yourself so much." Dr. Li still has some skills, and with him, the prince may not be in any danger. Moreover, on the other hand, this assassination is not necessarily a bad thing for the prince. Tell me first, what do you think about this? ”
"Sir, I have a very bad feeling that these people are bent on putting the prince to death. Even if you don't succeed today, you will still look for opportunities in the future. You don't know, I took a few guards and quietly followed behind the prince according to what you said. But before he could go out of the city, he was stopped by several soldiers of the Left Army of the Crane. ”
"These soldiers of the Left Army of the Crane said that they were training here, and all the officials and civilians were not allowed to go together. But I know that the Left Army of the Crane Control is one of the four inner armies in the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest, and their main duty is to be responsible for the outer guard of Yongchang Palace. The barracks and training ground are all in the north of the city, what kind of soldiers do they train in the south of the city? ”
"But I looked at the credentials of a few captains and soldiers, and it was indeed a soldier of the Third Metropolitan Division of the Left Army of the Controlling Crane. When I was first transferred to the capital, I spent half a year in the Left Army of the Crane before I was selected as a guard. So I still know all these waist cards. It's not almost, it's all definitely true. ”
"But why did these people only hold me and others, but the prince and they didn't stop me in the past, I had some doubts at that time. The brothers were worried about the safety of the prince, so they quarreled with them. The lieutenants and soldiers tried to lock us up. ”
"Their attitude was very tough, even if we showed the guard's waist card, we didn't give face. But the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest and the guards are all in Jingzhao Mansion, and they are all doing things for the Heavenly Family, and generally speaking, the relationship between them in private is still very harmonious, and most of them will be accommodating. What's more, the people of the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest don't want to offend us guards, after all, the guards are all people from above. ”
"But today, the attitude of these people who control the Left Army of the Crane is so unusually tough, it really makes me feel that something is wrong. The brothers only quarreled with them for a few words and then took someone, which was unimaginable in ordinary times. You must know that no matter how arrogant these Royal Foresters are, they will not dare to take the guards unless they are ordered to do so. ”
"The two doubts added together, and it made me feel that something was wrong at the time. Because I know that the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest in the capital has its own defense area on weekdays, and no matter what you want to do, you must report to the front of the palace for approval. If there are more than 50 people gathered, it is even more necessary to obtain royal permission. Neither the Privy Council nor the Ministry of War can control the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest. ”
"I also have a few friends in the front division of the palace on weekdays, and I haven't heard of any major moves in the Left Army of the Crane Control Army in recent days. What's more, the south of the city is the defense area of the Eagle Yang Right Army, not their control of the Crane Left Army. Even if they wanted to do something, they would never cross the line and run to the defense area of the Eagle Yang Right Army. ”
"When I called their boss to come out and talk back, these guys pushed back and forth, and there were many flashes in their words. And the situation on the road at that time did not look like a large army was assembled as they said. I was sure that these guys recognized us and went out to intercept us. ”
"If you ask a few more questions, these guys will just start working. It's a pity that these guys are very hard. Brothers, it took a lot of effort to settle down, and they didn't be able to catch it alive. When these people saw that they really couldn't get rid of us and that there was a possibility that they would be captured alive by us, they all committed suicide by poisoning. ”
"On the way back to send the prince, I have been pondering. The left and right armies of the crane control are all responsible for the palace guards, and they are also the heads of the four armies of the emperor's personal guards. Their waist cards are very difficult for ordinary people to get. And those few people who intercepted us, I am definitely not the people who control the left army of the crane. If the people who control the left army of the crane have their skills, what else do we need to do with the guards? ”
"Because the Left Army of the Crane Control is mainly responsible for the garrison of the palace, it has always been the head of the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest. Its waist cards are all in front of the temple, specially made, not to mention, there is a special number on the waist card. There is only one number on each waist card, and there are absolutely no spare and duplicate ones, which I can guarantee. ”
"This lord envoy was able to get the waist card of the left army of the crane in this way, and none of it was imitated, which is enough to show that this person is very powerful in the court. You must know that the waist card of the Left Army of the Crane Control Crane is not something that the prince can get if he wants to. Even the Privy Council and the Ministry of War would never be able to get it out, let alone get six or seven pieces at a time. ”
"And these people are very well planned, if the assassination site is chosen in the city. Once you can't succeed in one blow, it is extremely easy to be surrounded by people. In addition, there is one of the biggest drawbacks of operating in the city, which is that it is extremely easy to expose. If you want to succeed in one blow, you can't do it without a blade. And with a sword in Jingzhao Mansion, there is no forgiveness for killing without a certificate issued by the government. ”
"In addition, they are using the identity of the Left Army of the Crane Control, and they can't act at all in the city. The outer city and the outside of the city are now inhabited by a large number of displaced people. After their assassination is completed, they can directly blame the homeless. There is no need for anything else, a person who wants to get rich and block the road and kill people can prevaricate the mouths of the people. While the location may be chosen on a case-by-case basis, the plan is painstakingly customized. ”
"Perhaps, it has not been a day or two since they waited for the prince to leave the city. According to the skills and numbers of these assassins, it is not of much use for the prince to go out of the city with three or two guards. They also figured out the habits of the prince's actions before formulating this plan. ”
