Chapter Eighty-Seven: Assassination

The two talked a little more, and when the sun set, they said goodbye to each other and left.

On the second day, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning were refracted and illuminated the earth, the entire Yangzhou city was coated with layers of brilliance. The busy figures of the common people in the entire Yangzhou city can be seen everywhere, preparing to welcome the arrival of the emperor.

Xu Fu was the same, following Xu Siye's instructions to get up early to prepare.

The emperor and empress took the guards to Yangzhou by boat.

On the boat, the queen looked at the emperor who was standing on the deck with her back to her, stood with her hands in her hands, picked up a shawl and walked over: "Your Majesty, the humidity is heavy in the morning, you look at yourself, and you don't pay attention to it." As he spoke, he put the shawl in his hand on the emperor's body.

"Thank you for your concern." The emperor spoke.

"The emperor is worried about capturing the Fanbang people on this trip?" The queen looked at the emperor's frowning slightly, and her eyes were full of worry.

"Queen, you don't know, after I got up this morning, I don't know why, I always feel flustered and short-breathed, always a little uneasy, I'm afraid that something bad will happen on this trip."

When the emperor said this, he was very worried, and his heart was not good.

The queen's eyes were like torches, looking at the emperor's gray temples and slightly slack, she couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that you just have too many things in the court recently, and you have to deal with the matter of Fanbang, so you will have such worries." What's more, this time, you and Xu Siye arranged the troops for this plan, there should be no mistakes, so don't worry. ”

Hearing this, the emperor sighed and said, "I wish! ”

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, let's go back inside first, the concubine has brought you a pot of tea, just in time for the emperor to take a look."

As soon as the queen's words fell, the emperor nodded, and the two entered inside, and after a while, a eunuch came to report that they were about to arrive in Yangzhou.

When the ship was about to dock, the group was about to get off the boat, when suddenly a man in black sprang out from a small boat next to him, raised the long sword in his hand and was about to stab the emperor.

The queen who followed hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful." ”

The emperor reacted quickly, and hurriedly flashed to the side with a scream.

Immediately, he didn't care about his appearance at this time: "There are assassins, escorts, escorts!" ”

The strange thing is that the man in black didn't care about the emperor after he didn't stab the emperor with a sword, and turned around and attacked the queen behind him.

"Protect the Emperor and Queen."

The leader of the guards spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen guards stepped forward to surround the emperor and queen, and fought with the assassins.

For a time, there was chaos and noise on the ship.

Unfortunately, the man in black's moves were so strange and weird. More than a dozen guards dealt with it collectively, but they could only parry but had no power to fight back.

The emperor pulled the queen and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to get off the boat, but as soon as he took a few steps, the black-clothed man who was still there fighting with more than a dozen guards broke through a hole and rushed directly towards the queen, and a flying body ripped the queen away.

"Bold thief, let go of the queen. Are you guards dead? ”

When the guards saw that the queen had been kidnapped, they couldn't help but panic. A group of people stepped forward to surround the man in black.

"Your Majesty, help!"

The queen saw that the sword in the hand of the man in black was against her neck at the moment, and suddenly her heart rose to her throat, her whole body tensed, and she was suddenly terrified.

"You'd better not move, or my hand will tremble, and the sword in my hand won't obey me."

"Who are you? Why the queen was kidnapped? ”

The emperor didn't know the bottom of his heart, looking at the sword of the man in black against the queen's neck, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his forehead.

"Dog Emperor, you incompetent, you still want to defeat us like this, it's just ignorant and ignorant, there are countless capable people in my country, and today is your death." The leader of the Guards looked at the people who had kidnapped the queen and clenched the sword in his hand.

"If you dare to hurt the queen's mother, I will let you not get out of this Yangzhou City, Yangzhou City is where all your Fanbang people are buried."

"Who should I be, it's just a dog's leg, and your serious master didn't speak."

When the emperor heard this, he was in a dilemma, although he was the supreme of the Ninth Five, but his wife was in the hands of the Fanbang people, and there was no way to rescue the queen.

"You chaotic ministers and thieves are going to be rampant, in the Great Song Dynasty, you can't escape, it's better to let the queen obediently tie her hands and arrest her, I can spare your dog's life."

The emperor looked at the Fanbang people in front of him and sighed infinitely, his wife has been with him for so many years, anyone can have something to do tonight, but she can't.

Xu Siye looked at this scene, there was no trace of fear in his heart, and he hurriedly rushed up.

"I can promise you, if you release the queen, I can let you walk out of this Yangzhou City, otherwise you and your Fanbang Department will all die in this Yangzhou City, whether it is life or death, only in your hands, you can think about it yourself."

"The Song people have always been cunning, how can I listen to you, even if we are all lost here today, we are also the warriors of our people, and we will not surrender."

"I'm afraid that if you die, then your country will not have any expression, after all, you are thieves who don't know your identity and origin."

Since ancient times, the besiegers have been attacking the heart, Xu Siambi thought to himself, these Fanbang people care so much about the reputation of the warriors, so it is better to use the reputation of the warriors to stimulate them and let them release the queen.

"How so? How so? Why is it treated like this, we do our best for the country. ”

Xu Siye thought in his heart, since the other party cared so much about the reputation of the warrior, then he must also be a figure with a head and face in the confrontation country, and he would definitely not want to die easily, but he was forced to make this decision out of desperation.

"As long as you promise me to let him go, you can leave Yangzhou City, and you will no longer be harassed by my Great Song Dynasty, and live and work in peace and contentment."

Xu Siye looked at everything in front of him, no matter what he did at this time, the first important task was to rescue the queen, if the queen died because of the abduction of the Fanbang people, I am afraid that the news will spread and affect the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.

"You people have always been untrustworthy, so how can I trust you?"

The people of the state looked at Xu Siye and the others, and the knife holding the queen in their hands approached again, and pointed at the queen with their fingers.

"Now she is the only one who is my talisman, and if I let him go, I'm afraid I'll die in an instant."

"If the queen dies, the day of the queen's funeral will be the time when my Great Song Dynasty iron hooves will be pressing."

The emperor loved his wife deeply, and when he saw this scene, the people of the state insisted on refusing to let the queen go, and they said these words in a hurry.

There was no fear on the faces of the people of that state, "If the Great Song Dynasty really had that strength, I'm afraid that the Tanyuan Alliance would not have been made many years ago, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would not have been ceded." ”

The emperor has always been secretive about ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun, but now that he is directly hooked up, his face naturally changes color.
