Chapter 742: The Transformation of the Sun Sacrifice Palace (Part II)
The sky is not yet dawn, the Song Dynasty Feng, who has not slept all night, is still very excited, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many activities in the palace, first at noon, the Son of Heaven will worship Lao Tzu in the Sanqing Hall, and then in the afternoon, the children of the royal family enter the palace collectively, bathe and change clothes, drink Sizu wine together at night, remember the great cause of the ancestors, and then worship the ancestors at the Taimiao at night.
Therefore, for the Tang Dynasty, the night of Chinese New Year's Eve is also called a sacrifice day, and every family has to sacrifice their ancestors.
At this time, Ying Caihe, who had not shown up for two days, appeared in the lobby of the Beiya, and Song Chaofeng was overjoyed when he saw Ying Caihe appear, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "I thought you were flying away." ”
"Where? I have been hiding in the palace, waiting for the orders of the courtier. ”
Song Chaofeng felt that Ying Caihe's attitude had changed, he didn't kneel down to him again, and his tone was no longer respectful, but at this time he couldn't care about this, he hurriedly said: "Let's come in and talk!" ”
Ying Caihe is an important part of his plan, without her, they can't deal with Dou Xianlai, as for her disrespectful attitude, they will clean her up later.
In the inner hall, Song Chaofeng told Ying Caihe about his plan as it was, and Ying Caihe groaned: "Those royal children, doesn't Chao En plan to kill them?" ”
"I plan to arrest them all, the new emperor needs their support, these royal children are all waste, and they can't make any waves."
Ying Caihe said lightly: "Others can ignore it, but Li Yi must be killed, otherwise the courtiers will support him in reinstating the throne." ”
"That makes sense, how about I ask Manager Ying about this matter?"
"I am willing to share my worries for the court!"
Song Chaofeng was overjoyed, and asked again: "To deal with Dou Xianlai, what else does Manager Ying need my help with?" ”
"I still need two hundred and sixty sets of guard armor and a bronze medal for entering the palace, I can't deal with Dou Xianlai alone."
"Meaningless, I'll arrange it for you!"
After making an appointment with Song Chaofeng about the time and place of the handover, Ying Caihe floated away, and Ju Wenzhen next to him was a little worried: "Chao Weng, this woman should be eradicated as soon as possible!" She's going to ruin our big deals. ”
Song Chaofeng sneered: "If she dies early, who will take the blame for us?" It is necessary to let the civil and military officials find out that she assassinated the Son of Heaven in time, and it is best to get all the stolen goods! ”
.........
Ying Caihe came to the manor at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and heard shouts from a distance, the soldiers were training, at this time, Song Tian also saw her, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Manager Ying, when will we start acting?" ”
"Are the brethren ready?" Ying Caihe asked.
"It's all ready to strike!"
"Gather the brethren together, and I will say two things."
"All assembled!" Several lieutenants shouted.
Two hundred and fifty samurai and scouts quickly assembled and lined up in two rows.
Ying Caihe stepped forward and said slowly to everyone: "Like you, I am also loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this time I am ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to do a big thing in Chengdu, you will assist me, today is the day of our attack, I want to take you into the palace in Chengdu, a total of two tasks, the stakes are very high, I hope you will absolutely obey my orders." ”
After speaking, she took out a gold medal and held it high, "This is the gold medal of King Jin, on behalf of King Jin himself, my order is the order of King Jin, and everyone must not disobey at all!" ”
Two hundred and fifty people knelt down on one knee together and shouted, "Follow the orders of the governor!" ”
Ying Caihe nodded, "The hour is almost up, we don't ride horses, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to clean up, and then we'll go!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Ying Caihe led more than 250 people to set off quickly, they did not enter the city, but came to the forbidden garden in the northeast corner of the palace, the forbidden garden of the imperial palace was outside the city, built a wall to surround it, inside were woods, meadows and lakes, raised a large number of water birds and deer, the forbidden garden had a row of bungalows on the east wall, when they arrived here, there were already more than a dozen eunuchs waiting for them.
The eunuchs brought several carts, which contained two hundred and sixty sets of guard armor and two hundred and sixty bronze medals for the guards entering the palace.
Several eunuchs did not communicate, and covered the back door of the forbidden garden, and they left directly.
Ying Caihe ordered the samurai and scouts to change the armor of the guards, and wore bronze medals around their waists, they were fully armed, holding spears in their hands, carrying horizontal swords at their waists, crossbows and quivers on their backs, spears and horizontal knives were normal equipment, but crossbow arrows were not equipped by the palace guards.
Everyone changed their armor, lined up again, and entered the forbidden garden from the back door, they passed through the forbidden garden, and under the leadership of Ying Caihe, they went straight to the Xuanying Gate, which was the Sanqing Palace.
..........
At noon, Li Shi, the son of heaven, under the strict protection of a large group of guards, came to worship Lao Tzu in the Sanqing Palace, and the Tang royal family claimed to be the descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, so worshiping Lao Tzu is also worshipping his ancestors.
The guards are waiting outside the hall, there are only five or six personal guards in the hall, Dou Xianlai, who is wearing a gray coat, stands quietly outside a zhang, and Li Shi, the son of heaven, under the guidance of the abbot of the Sanqing Palace, worships on incense, and everything is in order.
Suddenly, Dou Xianlai's ears moved, and his eyes suddenly showed surprise, he heard the sound of the eagle flute, this voice was too familiar, it was Guo Song's eagle flute.
Guo Song is the only rival in his life, he once lost to Guo Song in a very short confrontation in Chang'an West City, if there is one person in the world who can disturb Dou Xianlai's mind, it is Guo Song.
Dou Xianlai's face changed several times, he couldn't restrain it anymore, Guo Song was actually in the Chengdu Palace.
"Look at the Son of Heaven!"
Dou Xianlai dropped a word, and the gray shadow floated towards the outside of the main hall, and disappeared in an instant.
In the adjacent courtyard of Sanqing Palace, Ying Caihe held a long sword in his hand, waiting for Dou Xian to come, and the master gave her this eagle flute, saying that Dou Xian would definitely come.
A gray figure suddenly appeared on the wall, "Why are you?" Dou Xianlai's disappointed voice came from the wall.
Ying Caihe didn't say a word, the long sword was pulled, only to see a cold light flashing, she put on a strange posture, kneeling on one knee, half-squatting, the long sword stood in front of her eyes, this is the seventh style of the nine styles of the sword: the return to the sect, which means ten thousand swords return to the sect, it is the defensive style of the nine swords of the sword.
Dou Xianlai was about to leave, and suddenly saw Ying Caihe's defensive style, he suddenly remembered the night in Xuanyangfang, he attacked Guo Song's thirteen swords with great force, and Guo Song used this trick to dissolve, that time was the first time in his life that he returned without success, and the impact on him was extremely profound.
"Good! I'll give it another try! ”
The gray shadow on the wall flashed, and Dou Xianlai instantly appeared on the top of Ying Caihe's head, the sword momentum had been released, and the same thirteen swords stabbed towards Ying Caihe's head and neck, which was incomparably fast, and the sword cost people's lives.
Among Ying Cai and Gongsun Auntie's many apprentices and grandchildren, martial arts are second only to Li Man, and she learned the essence of the nine styles of swords, she tried her best to resolve them, but she only dissolved five swords, and she couldn't resolve the eight swords in the back.
She had her feet together, and her figure suddenly flashed out like a ghost, she used the sword withdrawal style, Dou Xianlai sneered, do you still want to escape?
His body was still in the air, and the powerful sword momentum enveloped Ying Caihe's vest and the back of his neck, no matter how Ying Caihe escaped, he couldn't dodge Dou Xian's sword.
Dou Xianlai has no heart to play, this Ying Caihe is too far away, and he is not worthy of fighting with him.
With a flick of his wrist, a fatal sword stabbed at Ying Caihe's vest like lightning, Ying Caihe was sealed in front and back, left and right, and she had no way to live except for a sword piercing her heart and dying tragically.
At the moment when the tip of the sword was about to touch Ying Caihe's vest, Ying Caihe's body suddenly accelerated, and he forcibly broke away from the control of Dou Xianlai's long sword, making Dou Xianlai's unprecedented sword stab into the air.
"Shoot!"
Ying Caihe gave the order from a zhang away.
Two hundred and fifty crossbow arrows burst out of the air and shot straight at the ground, and they did not shoot at Dou Xianlai, but at the place where Ying Cai and he was standing just now.
This is Guo Song's archery method, not to shoot people, but to anticipate the enemy first, and more importantly, to take and faithfully carry out Guo Song's orders.
Dou Xian stabbed the air with a sword, flicked his wrist, the long sword came out of his hand, and stabbed towards Ying Caihe, Ying Caihe's legs dodged again, his body was still a little faster, the long sword grazed her clothes, and she escaped death.
If Dou Xianlai didn't shoot this sword, he could have used the rebound power of the tip of the sword when it touched the ground to rise into the air and dodge the dense crossbow arrows, but at this time he had no sword in his hand, and his body fell down, and he suddenly found that something was wrong, and he had fallen into a trap.
He let out a loud shout, and his fists rained out, knocking out nearly a hundred crossbow arrows.
'Ah-' A scream suddenly came from the Sanqing Hall in the distance.
Dou Xianlai was shocked in his heart, the Son of Heaven was in danger.
A little distraction brought destruction to Dou Xianlai, 'Poof! 'A crossbow arrow penetrated his defense, hitting him in the back of the heart, his dantian strength couldn't help but leak, and he couldn't resist it anymore, and the remaining more than a hundred crossbow arrows 'Poof!' Burst! Burst! Poof!' into his leaning body.
Dou Xianlai knelt on the ground like a hedgehog, and after a while, he fell to the ground with a bang, and a generation of martial arts masters passed away.
