Chapter 31: The Emperor's Assassination
"Your Majesty, don't go out of the palace today, we've been going for a few days in a row, maybe that woman has already left." The emperor wanted to leave the palace again, and the guards tried to persuade him.
"Let's take a look, there is an activity on the street tonight, and there should be more people. I'll take a look at it again. ”
"But the emperor~~"
"Say no more, go out with me." The emperor was still stubborn, and left the palace with one of his guards.
It turned out that the emperor met a woman when he left the palace last time, she looked like a fairy, and she was beautiful. The emperor was attracted by her beautiful temperament at first sight.
This woman makes money by performing on the street, plays a good piano, and has a natural voice. The emperor walked out of the palace and walked through this street, attracted by her singing from a distance. The emperor walked up to her side and put a hundred taels of silver in the woman's hand.
"Thank you, uncle." She lowered her head and thanked the emperor delicately, and the girl's voice was fresh and lovely.
The emperor watched her intently until her back disappeared into the crowd.
For several days, the emperor always quietly went out of the palace with a guard to the place where they had last met this woman, and he hoped to see her again, but each time his hopes were disappointed, and the woman seemed to have evaporated from the world, and was never heard from again.
The sun finally set, and the sky gradually darkened.
The emperor also kept shuttling and wandering around the lively street market.
At this time, Xiao Lingfeng also began to act.
Xiao Lingfeng was still wanted after all, so he took advantage of the darkness to quietly come to the cell to ask the guards about the situation, and only then did he learn from the guards that Murong Fei had given them wine.
"Sure enough, it turned out to be him again." Xiao Lingfeng finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter, everything was Murong Fei's conspiracy, he just wanted to create the illusion that Xiao Lingfeng had escaped from prison, framed Xiao Lingfeng, and killed him by the emperor's hand.
Xiao Lingfeng walked back while thinking of a solution.
"Is he here?" On the other side of the street, a man asks a woman, who is as beautiful as a fairy.
"Coming, wandering around the street, probably looking for me." The woman replied.
"Today's emperor is really a lover, so easy to take the bait." The man was triumphant.
"Brother, I'll bring him here, you guys are ready, and I'll kill him as soon as he comes." The woman said, with a fierce look in her eyes.
It turned out that she was the woman the emperor had seen before, but she didn't have the slightest tenderness, like a cold-blooded killer. She approached the emperor in disguise just to assassinate him.
"Okay, sister, go ahead! Be careful. ”
"Yes."
The woman deliberately walked to the street where the emperor was and flashed in front of the emperor.
"That's her." The emperor showed an excited expression and immediately followed.
The woman's footsteps grew faster and faster, and when she came to a remote place, she disappeared.
The emperor chased her here and disappeared, "It's strange, she was still there just now, where did she go?" The emperor was anxiously looking around.
Suddenly, a person rushed out from the side and stabbed at the emperor with a sword, but fortunately, the emperor's entourage Chen Ming was agile and pulled out his sword to block this person's sword.
"Your Majesty, go quickly." Chen Ming said in front of the emperor.
"Are you leaving?" Suddenly, a person with a dozen people surrounded the emperor and Chen Ming with big swords.
"Who are you, and why do you commit the assassination?" The emperor asked.
"Brothers, don't talk nonsense with him, kill him." Without saying a word, this person raised his sword and rushed towards the emperor, looking at the posture clearly, he wanted to kill the emperor.
The emperor is also a little good at martial arts, barely supporting, although Chen Ming's martial arts are not weak, on the one hand, fighting, on the other hand, he has to protect the emperor, after all, the enemy is not more than a dozen people in turn, and the physical strength is almost consumed, and it is slowly unable to support.
This group of people was ruthless, unnegotiable, bent on putting the emperor to death, and the situation was very critical.
Chen Ming has been injured in many places, but he is still persevering.
Xiao Lingfeng swayed on the way back, Xiao Lingfeng, who had a keen intuition about martial arts and weapons, seemed to smell the smell of fighting.
With his feeling and the faint sound of a sword, he walked in this direction.
Looking from afar, sure enough, a group of people surrounded two people, and these two people were about to die under their swords. Anyway, so many people bully two people, I Xiao Lingfeng just love to meddle in things.
So Xiao Lingfeng crossed into the crowd with an arrow step, and knocked them all away with a turn.
"Uncle Xiao, save us." Chen Ming recognized Xiao Lingfeng and couldn't wait to shout at him. Xiao Lingfeng saw that it was the emperor.
"Are you Xiao Lingfeng?" The leader asked him.
"Well, get out of here." Xiao Lingfeng was not polite at all.
"Xiao Daxia, why do you need to save him, doesn't this emperor still treat you as a wanted criminal?" He tried to provoke Xiao Lingfeng.
"That's between us, and now it's your business if you don't leave." Xiao Lingfeng replied resolutely.
"Okay, let's go." He knew that he couldn't beat Xiao Lingfeng, so he left with someone.
"Thank you Uncle Xiao for saving your life." Chen Ming hurriedly thanked him.
"It's a small thing."
"Don't think that if you save me, I won't be held accountable." The emperor spoke.
"Oops, why are you so verbose. If you talk about it again, your guards will bleed and die. Xiao Lingfeng said impatiently when he saw Chen Ming's wound dripping blood.
"Okay, I'll not bother with you yet." The emperor also saw Chen Ming's injury.
"Okay, it's so late, let's go to my house first, go and treat his injuries."
Xiao Lingfeng brought the emperor to the Xiao Mansion.
"Leling, go and bandage Manager Chen's wounds. Resting here today. Xiao Lingfeng asked Le Ling to go, because Chen Ming's injury was not light.
"Uncle Xie Xiao, the emperor, the minister went down first." Chen Ming said.
"Yes, okay." The emperor sat at the table.
"Alas, I'm going to starve to death after tossing all afternoon, come, go and prepare wine and meat, I want to crush the emperor." Xiao Lingfeng instructed his subordinates to cook.
The emperor happened to be hungry, so he agreed to eat with Xiao Lingfeng.
In a short time, a sumptuous meal was ready, with wine and meat, no worse than the palace.
The maid poured the wine for Xiao Lingfeng and the emperor, "Come, your majesty, I will toast you." Xiao Lingfeng raised his glass.
"Okay, I'll drink with you today." The emperor drank it all.
"I said Your Majesty, do you believe that I will escape from prison? If I wanted to escape from prison, the guards couldn't stop me, I was framed. Xiao Lingfeng said.
"I also don't think you can escape from prison, but I don't want how you can block the mouth of Youyou."
"Then you have to have a factual basis, right?"
"Xiao Lingfeng, I am already tolerant enough to you, if it weren't for the bruises on my knees that stupid daughter of mine in order to intercede for you, I wouldn't have let you go?"
The emperor and Xiao Lingfeng became happier the more they drank, and they told Aoqing about it excitedly.
"She wanted to come to see you, and I forced her to stay in the palace. I tell you, you have to go and see her when you have time, how much she has suffered for you! ”
"Definitely, definitely." Although Xiao Lingfeng had already drunk a little too much, he was still very touched when he heard that Ao Qing was injured for him.
Xiao Lingfeng and the emperor were drinking and chatting, and before they knew it, it was almost late at night, and the emperor also drank a little too much, and he began to talk hesitantly, almost falling down.
And Xiao Lingfeng is okay, after the lesson last time, he has to pay attention to drinking with the emperor.
