Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 4 Blood Splattered Palace Gate

The sound of heavy horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night, and a fast horse galloped in.

The knight on the horse ignored the hurdles along the way, and he frantically waved his whip and swept past the solemn soldiers, but no one dared to stop him. Look at the black and heavy one-piece armor, which is only qualified to be worn by the rank of captain in the five schools of the Northern Army.

The knight ran all the way unhindered, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard. He dismounted with the reins in one hand and dismounted with a sturdy saddle, and in the other hand he had already pulled out a glittering golden waist card.

He held the gold medal high, knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "The last general Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Huan, come to overthrow!" ”

With a "squeak", the courtyard door opened, and the group paced out the door.

Wu Huangang raised his head and saw the person in front of him, and his heart felt like a hammer. He paused suddenly, and his helmet slammed on the ground: "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Ling snorted coldly: "He Qing, you even mobilized the Fifth School of the Northern Army!" ”

He Jin's heart twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister was given a holy edict a month ago........."

Emperor Ling suddenly thought that after returning to Luoyang last time, in order to prevent civil strife, he personally issued a secret order, and he could mobilize the northern army when necessary.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I think that if you arrest a mere Ma Yuanyi, why should He Qing make a fuss!" ”

He Jin said with a smile: "The minister has always been timid and cautious!" ”

He changed into a calm look and said in a deep voice: "General Wu! Don't hurry back

Your Majesty has been waiting for your news for a long time! Where is Ma Yuanyi now? ”

He Jin's voice was violent, but there was a drum beating in his heart, Ma Yuanyi, Ma Yuanyi, who is your comrade?

Cold sweat oozed from Wu Huan's forehead, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the last general should be damned!" When the last general attacked the small courtyard in the east of the city, Ma Yuanyi had already fled, and only took down a few thieves who stayed behind! ”

He Jin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in his heart.

Emperor Ling was furious, and a trace of green anger flashed on his face: "Could it be that there is another traitor leaking secrets?" He Qing, or did you leak the news? ”

He Jin's heart trembled, his mind was racing, and he didn't know how to answer.

But Wu Huan had already calmed down, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the last general has already carefully investigated, and two hours before the last general surrounded the thief's nest, there was a team of night patrol soldiers who stayed there. Therefore, the last general dared to speculate that Ma Yuanyi should have sensed the crisis from the mouth of Nei Ying, the night patrol soldier, and fled! ”

Emperor Ling let out an "oh" in his mouth, but his face eased down, two hours? Then it should be when Tang Zhou is informing, it seems that no one leaked the secret, and it was too late to leak the secret! Hey! It seems that Ma Yuanyi did smell the smell of danger, and this person made a decision immediately, which is really not to be underestimated!

He then sank his face again, and all the night patrol soldiers had Taiping Dao Neiying, so what else did he do? From this point of view, how many of the ministers of the DPRK and China will be ghosts of the Taiping Dao?

The Spirit Emperor was silent, and although everyone around him was around, they were all silent, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Behind the Spirit Emperor, a masked man suddenly coughed dryly, and whispered a few words in the Spirit Emperor's ear without hesitation.

He Jin, Wu Huan and others were all shocked, what kind of person is this! How dare you be so unscrupulous? Don't you know that offending the majesty of the Son of Heaven is a capital crime?

Just when they were at a loss, they saw that the Spirit Emperor couldn't stop nodding and said, "En! Good! He Jin, Wu Huan! Immediately thoroughly investigate the night patrol soldiers and find out Ma Yuanyi's comrades. Also, find me a seal now! ”

He Jin's heart beat suddenly. I have always thought that I am a saint, and I would never dare to make such a mistake! If someone else is so offended, even if he doesn't kill his head, he must be severely punished. However, the Son of Heaven seemed to take it for granted, and he didn't think it was at all, who was this person?

He swept his eyes, and there were seven or eight people standing behind the Spirit Emperor, most of them were covered in black scarves, except for two.

He Jin looked at it intently, but the two of them knew each other, one was the current emperor Danchen Dao Chief, and the other was the Son of Heaven guard, Lang Zhong Ling Chun Yuqiong.

His cold sweat finally trickled down as he noticed where Dan Chenzi and Chun Yuqiong were standing, as well as the expressions on their faces.

Both of them were close confidants of the Son of Heaven, and Emperor Ling's trust in them could be said to be no less than his own. But at this time, these two people were standing in the crowd, and there were two or three people standing between the Spirit Emperors, but there was a relaxed look on their faces. What does this mean?

He Jin didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have a high opinion of himself all along.........

"He Qing!" A majestic voice came, "Did you hear my words?" Don't do it quickly! ”

He Jin was agitated and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen obeys the order, then he will arrest the suspect!" ”

He no longer dared to be vague at this time, he was facing the crisis of losing his honor, where did he still have the heart to care about the life and death of others? What's more, the meaning of the Son of Heaven is already very clear, even if Feng Yu is not an internal ghost, only the fact that he disappeared tonight for no reason is already predictable.

Emperor Ling nodded with satisfaction, and turned around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, follow me in, the topic of suitable talents is still not finished!" ”

In the distance, there was another hurried sound of horses' hooves.

Everyone followed the prestige together, and a knight galloped up, and he jumped down, knelt down, and said, "Report! The whereabouts of Feng Yu have been discovered! ”

This person is just an ordinary officer, but he doesn't know the true face of the Son of Heaven, and he saves a lot of trouble.

He Jin was surprised and delighted: "Where is that Feng Zhen now?" But escaped from Luoyang? ”

The man's face flashed with a strange look: "Your Excellency! The subordinates traced all the way, and finally found that the seal had entered the South Palace! ”

Everyone was surprised, He Jin opened his mouth, and finally closed his mouth.

Dan Chenzi frowned and said, "Could it be that we wronged him?" Is he going to Nangong to handle official business? ”

He Jin nodded hurriedly.

Although the Nangong occupies a huge area, it is the place where the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court and the central government are discussed, and it is also the office of the officials of the Inner Dynasty. Moreover, the night guard of the South Palace is not strict, and it is also very common for many middle and regular attendants, yellow gates, and attendants to use the night to write official documents in the South Palace.

The officer shook his head and said, "No! The last general was humble and could not enter the palace gate, so he showed his waist card, please check the doorkeeper! ”

He Jin was stunned and said, "Isn't he in Nangong?" ”

The officer nodded and said, "The last general waited for a long time, and the gatekeeper came back to inform him that Feng Zhen led a large group of Nangong guards to the North Palace through the Fu Dao!" ”

The crowd couldn't control it anymore and said in shock: "What did you say! ”

Although the South Palace and the North Palace are one word difference, it is the difference between heaven and earth, the South Palace is the place where the government is discussed, but the North Palace is the emperor's bedroom, there are a large number of guards guarding day and night, and ordinary officials do not want to cross the thunder pool for half a step. This letter entered the North Palace at night, if there was not a military event that was enough to turn the world upside down, it would be absolutely ill-intentioned.

The Spirit Emperor couldn't hold his breath anymore and shouted, "What! Does this dog thief really dare to take advantage of the night to stab him! ”

The sound of footsteps in the distance approached, and a disheveled official emerged from the afterglow of a torch.

His face was pale, with a slightly hooked nose and slender eyes, and a hint of arrogance on his face that was difficult to hide, indicating that this person must be in a high position and scheming.

Feng Zhen said "ah", walked quickly to greet him, and happily saluted: "There is Lord Lao Zhang in person!" ”

That person was Zhang Zhong, a relative of the emperor who was in the important position of lieutenant of the school, he was obviously woken up from his sleep, his face was still uncertain, and when he saw Feng Zhen and General Cui, he had to forcibly squeeze out a smile.

He followed and pulled Feng Zhen over, and said slightly angrily: "Lord Feng! What the hell are you doing? Drag me here so late? ”

He raised his head and looked at the expressionless Beigong guards, and reluctantly suppressed his anger and said: "My Lord Feng, there is no big thing, breaking into the Beigong at night is a conspiracy, do you want me to remind you?" ”

Feng Zhen smiled and said, "What Lord Zhang taught is this!" If there is no big thing, how dare I work for you and General Cui? Let alone! ”

He also turned his head to look at the palace gate behind him, and said with a smile: "We are just outside the palace gate, how can we talk about rebellion?" ”

Zhang Zhong was so angry that he almost crooked his nose, he threw his sleeves and said: "If you don't know what you say, you are teasing me!" Hum! Don't blame Zhang Zhong for being rude, so he will go home! ”

He has always been arrogant, how could he have been teased like this? If it weren't for the fact that Feng Yu is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he would have turned his face a long time ago.

A look of panic flashed on Feng Zhen's face, and he hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Zhang Zhong's robe, and said bitterly: "Lord Zhang is angry!" Calm your anger! How dare this official dare to tease you, Lord Zhang? Something is great! ”

Zhang Zhong couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart when he saw Feng Yu's humble tone, and he couldn't pretend to be angry anymore, so he slowed down and said: "This is it!" Lord Feng, please speak up if you have something, otherwise how dare this official rashly follow you into the palace? ”

He saw General Cui at a glance, and said, "Lord Feng, please summon General Cui with you!" According to the custom of the DPRK and China, the three of us must meet together to comply with the rules! ”

Feng Yu said impatiently: "What do you want him to do?" He is just a routine watchman who watches over us, and it doesn't matter if he listens or doesn't listen! ”

As he spoke, he approached Zhang Zhong and said in a low voice, "Lord Zhang, have you ever heard of something?" That Taiping Road Zhang Jiao........."

As soon as the five words "Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao" came out, Zhang Zhong's ears suddenly buzzed, in the past month, he mobilized his two thousand armor soldiers to investigate and secretly visit everywhere, which is nothing more than the investigation of the two major events of the traitor and the Taiping Dao rebellion, how can he not let his heart shake?

He couldn't help but get close to Feng Yu, and said hurriedly: "How about that horn?" ”

Feng Zhen opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly looked behind Zhang Zhong, his eyes shot out of disbelief, and he lost his voice: "Your Majesty? ”

Zhang Zhong's body shook wildly: "What? Suddenly turned around, only to see that there was nothing behind him, except for a few accompanying guards and palace guards on both sides of the road in the distance, where could I see the shadow of the Spirit Emperor?

The back of the heart was cold, and a sharp blade emerged from the front of the chest.

Zhang Zhong looked down at the tip of the bloody blade blankly, and finally understood.

He let out an earth-shattering roar, turned around and slapped Feng Zhen with a palm.

Feng Zhen's figure seemed to turn into a powerless paper kite, flying backwards lightly, and shouted in his mouth: "Do it!" ”

When he retreated, he pulled out the sharp blade that pierced into Zhang Zhong's body, and Zhang Zhong screamed miserably, and the blood from the two wounds on the front and back of his heart spurted wildly, and his body shook and slowly fell.

As soon as Feng Zhen's subordinates pretended to be the guards of Nangong, as soon as they heard the code of "do it", they immediately drew their weapons without thinking, first cut down the stunned guards under Zhang Zhong, and then rushed to the Suzaku Gate of Beigong without hesitation and fought with the guards guarding the door.

A sharp roar came out of Feng Chen's mouth, and he pulled it up in the air, and the sharp blade in his hand turned into a white light, stabbing away from top to bottom.

His target was his subordinate, General ----- Rener Cui, who was still in a daze and sluggishness.

He was completely unable to grasp the change in the situation, because he was the only one who had not received clear instructions beforehand.

He stared blankly at Feng Chen's attack with a hideous face, and there was only one thought in his heart: Could it be that Renyi actually wants to kill me?

He subconsciously pulled out his long sword and swung it, but he knew in his heart that it was just a senseless struggle, he really knew Renyi's martial arts too well!

With a soft sound of "snort", Renji's face was splashed with hot blood, and he was completely stunned.

Feng Zhen's sharp blade only pierced his shoulder for three points, but his long sword had already sunk deep into Feng Zhen's chest.

Feng Yu fell softly on his body, but the weak strength was enough to overwhelm Renji at this time, and the two of them fell down together.

His mind went blank, and a voice kept roaring in his heart: What the hell is going on?

He was just about to turn the question in his heart into words, and the bloody palm was already firmly covering his lips.

Feng Zhen pressed on him and blocked his mouth with all his might.

From a distance, the two figures entangled on the ground seemed to be in the final battle of life and death.

Feng Zhen stared at Ren Er's eyes, and suddenly put his mouth to his ear and whispered, "You did a good job!" From now on, you're Renyi! ”

Renji suddenly understood that he was not an ordinary person after all, and he had completely figured out the whole truth in an instant.

He couldn't stop his tears from welling up and said, "Why are you doing this! I can ...... for you."

Feng Yu's gloomy eyes flashed with a hint of rage: "Shut up!" You're young and young, make a fart for me! ”

His eyes faded, and he reluctantly told Renji his last words with his mouth open: "Don't let me die in vain!" ”

Feng Zhen's head fell heavily on Ren Er's chest, and there was a hint of relief and relief on his pale face, all his missions had been completed. I believe that at this time, Tang Zhou has "exposed" the truth that he is a traitor in Taiping Dao, coupled with his action of breaking into the Forbidden Palace at night, neither the court nor Taiping Dao can remain silent about this, they can only rush to the battle, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the world! What's more, before he died, he not only killed Zhang Zhong, the most threatening enemy of the organization, but also successfully established his successor. Renji's bitter plan will never be discovered, and he will eventually replace himself and become a nail buried in the middle of the organization! The only regret is that I don't know if I can take this opportunity to bring down Zhang Rang, this opportunity is really slim.

Ren Er lay on the ground in a daze, letting Feng Zhen's corpse lean on top of him, letting the blood of this leader and elder flow all over his body, and all he heard in his ears was the sound of his subordinates and the guards of Beigong.

At that moment, it seemed as if only a moment had passed, and it seemed as if a thousand years had passed.

Renji straightened up suddenly, and pushed away Feng Zhen's corpse without pity.

He held the sword in one hand and wiped it heavily on his face with the other, and he didn't know whether to wipe away the tears on his face or the blood stains on his face.

He suddenly swung his sword at a dead soldier of the Ren lineage, and shouted, "Kill! Kill all these thieves who are plotting to rebel! ”
