Chapter 497: Seizure
The assassination of the prince in the palace of the Ming Dynasty had just happened, and the turbulent aftermath was still flooding, and the sudden rapid whistle in the dark night once again alarmed the fragile and sensitive nerves of many people.
Just like the incident that happened in the Ming Palace's mansion during the day, this night attack was also abrupt, and many people only felt their scalps tingle the moment they received the news.
The wind is crying in the capital, and there are still people who are bold enough to commit crimes against the wind at this time, which is really unsettling.
First the Ming Palace, and then the Lin Clan, the two most sensitive forces in the capital, within a few hours, such a terrifying bloody incident broke out one after another, all of which made everyone have a premonition in their hearts.
The cloak of peace and calm that the entire capital had maintained by itself seemed to have been torn apart, and the turbulent undercurrent hidden inside finally broke out uncontrollably.
In the night sky, the whistle of the Praetorian Guard was constantly increasing, and the sound of horses' hooves came and went, making the terror in people's hearts more and more intense.
There was no curfew, but few people dared to go out, and even the powerful and dignitaries in Beijing closed their doors for the first time and did not dare to go out to find out.
Many adults, standing in the middle of the house, suppressed their breathing, looked at the night sky, which had long been illuminated by torches in the hands of the Praetorian Guards, and waited for the dawn uneasily.
Of course, not everyone is stunned.
There are still many forces, from the first time they got the news, they immediately couldn't sit still, and after learning that the Praetorian Guards had taken control of the scene, they immediately ordered the guards and went straight to the scene of the crime without stopping.
Although the entry and exit of personnel in the Ming Wangfu need to be controlled in detail, the entry and exit of personnel are not restricted in the end.
After reporting to Mo Bai and learning that Mo Bai had no intention of going, Lu Xunyi immediately led a team of black-clothed guards and galloped over.
"What people!" In the night sky illuminated by torches, the entire Lin Mansion within a radius of 100 meters had already been surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and it was still far away, and Lu Xunyi was stopped by the Praetorian Guards.
After a while, a general rushed over, stared at Lu Xunyi and the others for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "There is an order on the peak, only Grandmaster Lu is allowed to pass alone, and the palace guard stays outside." ”
When Lu Xunyi heard this, he glanced at the fire-lit Lin Mansion Courtyard, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is it that everyone is not allowed to bring guards, or is it only me in the Ming Palace?" ”
The general didn't answer, and only said with a serious face: "There is an order from the peak, please cooperate!" ”
Lu Xunyi was slightly silent, and finally got off the horse, letting the black-clothed guard stay for the time being and go in alone.
The general did not follow, but sent two soldiers to lead the way, Lu Xunyi is bold, but he is not afraid that someone dares to make trouble, in fact, no one dares to mess around at such a time.
Lu Xunyi was brought to the door of the Lin Mansion, but he just looked at it, and his eyes froze.
In front of the eyes, the two high doors of the Lin Mansion had already been shattered, and on the remaining door frames, there were remnants of arrows on them, and the cold light was shining.
Looking at the courtyard wall that was originally nearly three meters high, it has already collapsed everywhere at this moment, and in some places it has been directly punched out of the meter-wide passage.
The ground covered with bluestone is also full of potholes, and the gravel and soil are flying, and it is a mess.
With Lu Xunyi's eyesight, it can be easily seen that whether it is on the ground or on the courtyard wall, there are knife marks and sword marks.
Bright red bloodstains, in the light of the fire, appeared everywhere.
Before he walked in, he only saw this scene, which made Lu Xunyi have to gasp in his heart.
It is reported that the night attack did not last long, and from the beginning to the end of the battle, it was only half an hour in total.
In a moment, this place was destroyed like this, and you can imagine how strong the people who fought fiercely at that time were.
How tragic the battle situation is, this scene, even if it is not as good as the battle between King Ming and Mei Qingfeng that day, it can be said that it is not far away.
Lu Xunyi suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and walked in with the two soldiers from the door that had long been gone, and walked all the way to the main hall, only to see that the situation inside was obviously much better than outside.
Although there are also traces of fighting, the traces of fighting are far less than before, so it can be seen that the battle was mainly concentrated in the section from the front hall to the courtyard at that time, and the night raiders either failed to break through, or the resistance inside was not strong.
Seeing this, Lu Xunyi frowned slightly, but without waiting for him to think about it, he had already walked into the main hall, raised his head slightly, and saw that in the hall, a pair of eyes were fixed on him, most of which were deep and vigilant.
Lu Xunyi didn't care about the others, and his eyes were fixed on the figure sitting on the main seat in an instant.
Lin Huayao!
That's right, it was Lin Huayao himself who was sitting in the main seat intact, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his body.
He also stared at Lu Xunyi, although his expression was deep, but the whole person was obviously quite calm, and he did not panic in the slightest.
Lu Xunyi looked at him for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the others.
The first is Zhang Bangli and the real people of the national dynasty, these two people are just like when they went to the Ming Palace's mansion in the previous day, the real people of the national dynasty are still light, and Zhang Bangli is bitter and hateful, staring at himself, as if he wants to see through himself.
Lu Xunyi knew that he suspected that the Ming Wangfu did it, but he ignored him, but looked at some other people.
Ooh!
Good guys, several big warlords actually appeared in person, no wonder they didn't let themselves come in alone, this is in case the Ming Wangfu was impulsive and made extraneous branches.
"It's quite hilarious!" Lu Xunyi retracted his gaze, and his mouth seemed to be just muttering unconsciously.
But in the ears of everyone at the scene, it was so harsh, but Lin Huayao didn't make a sound, just kept silent.
On the contrary, Zhang Dashuai, who was sitting on the side, couldn't suppress his anger, stared at Lu Xunyi and snorted coldly: "Didn't the Ming Wangfu teach you the rules, and you didn't know how to salute when you saw me?" ”
When Lu Xunyi heard this, he smiled, but he didn't mind, hugged his fists around him, and saluted: "You are polite!" ”
"Humph!" Several people looked at him, without any false color, and they all snorted coldly.
However, Lu Xunyi's face was pale, his face became indifferent, and he asked rhetorically: "This seat salutes, even Your Majesty has to sit in Xuan'an, and you don't even move your buttocks, and Mo Feier and the others have forgotten the rules?" ”
Several handsome people suddenly stared at Lu Xunyi, the light in their eyes was terrifying, and Zhang Shuai's voice was low: "You want to provoke Ben Shuai?" ”
The words are simple, but the killing intent is boiling, the forest is cold and piercing, straight to the hearts and lungs, and it is chilling all over the forest.
Lu Xunyi was naturally not afraid, his eyes looked at him, and his voice was faint: "Zhang Shuai is in a high position, with thousands of soldiers and horses, and when he says it, he will be tens of millions of floating corpses, which is indeed very majestic." But although there are not as many people killed in this seat as you, but he has also followed His Royal Highness King Ming, and has killed three in and three out in the thousands of troops and horses in the banner, although the handsome murderous spirit is strong, but if you want to scare this seat, I am afraid that it is not enough! ”
"Bang!" Zhang Shuai smashed his fist on the table, and the whole person suddenly stood up, pointing at Lu Xunyi: "Repeatedly provoke this handsome, ...... today"
"How?" Before he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Xunyi also changed his face suddenly, and his murderous aura also soared, and as soon as his arm was raised, he pointed directly at Zhang Shuai: "This seat is a grandmaster, although he is not greedy for power, but in the Jinluan Palace, this seat can also sit at the same table with you, giving you a little face, you really think you are amazing, today this seat will provoke you, what do you want?" What can you do? ”
"Bold!" This time, without Zhang Shuai, the other two old handsomes were also immediately furious and got up at the same time.
Hu Shuai, who dominates the southwest, has an even more violent temper, and directly bursts into a shout: "Come on, take him down for me!" ”
When the voice fell, only a gust of wind was heard at the scene, and countless figures flashed.
Several marshals came, and the escort force around them was very terrifying, and they were not asked to stay outside like the Ming Palace.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xunyi's neck was already covered by a long sword, and when he gave an order, Lu Xunyi landed his head on the ground.
Looking at the entire main hall again, there are no less than dozens of grandmasters alone, and there are even the elites in his army, who have already drawn their bows and arrows, and they can't allow Lu Xunyi to move in the slightest.
The condensed murderous aura instantly filled the entire hall, and this sudden change came too quickly.
Zhang Bangli obviously didn't expect it, just one or two sentences, he suddenly made a fuss, and hurriedly said: "Stop!" ”
However, several old handsomes ignored his voice at all.
Even when the Dao Sect was once prominent, no grandmaster dared to be so presumptuous in front of them.
Mo said that the grandmaster, even the true Venerable of the Daomen, did not dare to disrespect them, and now, he was humiliated by Lu Xunyi in public, how could he not make them angry, and really think that the power in their hands was fake?
Lin Huayao sat in the first place, letting the situation change in shock, but his eyes were lowered, he picked up the teacup and drank water, without the slightest intention of opening his mouth to stop it.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Bangli saw that everyone was not moving, his face turned cold, staring at several old handsomes, and his voice was low.
"This person is formless, Lord Zhang has seen it with his own eyes, so protective, could it be that the dynasty wants to help him oppress us?" Zhang Shuai turned to Zhang Bangli, without any pretense, and his words were full of anger.
"Even if there is a slight verbal conflict, why make such a fuss-rattling, withdraw the people first, what is the matter, let's sit down and talk." Zhang Bangli also slowed his tone.
"Humph! Sit down and talk? What is he, who is the power of the man, and dares not to take us in his eyes. We waited for the country's plan, rushed to the capital thousands of miles away, and were openly attacked and killed, according to Ben Shuai, it is that we are too good to talk, so we have been bullied to this point! Zhang Shuai's voice was cold, without the slightest intention of compromise, staring at Zhang Bangli: "This thief is so rampant today, Ben Shuai is bound to kill him, Lord Zhang, Ben Shuai will ask you, do you have to stop it?" ”
Zhang Bangli's heart sank, he actually knew very well that this was not a verbal conflict at all.
