Chapter 688: Dragon Slaying (57)

In the labyrinth, in the bedroom of Queen Xiao. It should have been peaceful in the middle of the night, but tonight it was different. First of all, a palace lady who was supposed to be sent out of the palace suddenly returned, and soon after, someone from the palace came out to give an order, and the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became tense. A large number of guards hurriedly came, patrolling the sentry with spears and halberds, looking like they were facing a great enemy, and there were many secret guards and military supervisors holding bows and crossbows to wait for them. This is the same situation as in battle, and if anyone trespasses into this place at this moment, they will be immediately captured by the guards

to the slash. From the palace gate to Empress Xiao's residence, dozens of young palace maids stood opposite each other in two rows. The palace maid was not wearing a skirt, but a short fight like a man. All women carry straight knives around their waists, and slender hands that are good at embroidering female red and can play musical instruments hold the handle of the knife tightly. Looking at their ruthless appearance, you can see that these women are not pretending to be honor guards, but real martial arts, and they can kill people with knives at any time. Many old people in the palace also didn't know until this time, the palace

There is such an armed force composed of women. In the dormitory, the beautieth beloved by Sima Dekan knelt in front of Queen Xiao and burst into tears, choked up and said: "This matter is true, if there is half a word false, the slave is willing to be punished by a thousand knives." I just ask my mother to take precautions as soon as possible, and I must not let those

The traitor's plot succeeded! Empress Xiao gently stroked the top of Gong E's head, and took a silk handkerchief from the palace maid beside her, and gently wiped away her tears for Gong E. You have done a good job, and you have not been in vain in the cultivation of you. The affairs of the thief are governed by the saints, so you don't have to worry. You're right

This palace is loyal, this palace can't let you be wronged, and when the saint comes, there will be a heavy reward. ”

"Slaves and maids don't want money, as long as the queen and the saint are safe." "This palace knows that you are not greedy for money, otherwise how could he send you out to be the eyes and ears of this palace? However, it is your strength that you do not love money, and if this palace and the saint are stingy with their rewards, then we do not know the rewards and punishments. You will not lose a penny of the money you deserve. Who dares to say that he will not give, this palace will be the first to not agree! This reward is not only money, but also a wishful husband? There are many heroic young men around the saint, which one do you fancy will tell this palace, this palace is in charge of you! And a few of you too

In the same way, as long as you have this loyalty, this palace will never let you be wronged! "At this time, except for Queen Xiao, there are a few henchmen in the palace, and there is nothing else. These palace people are Empress Xiao's confidants and are loyal to her. However, this kind of loyalty does not come down out of thin air, and it is closely related to the maintenance and entrapment methods of Empress Xiao on weekdays

Indivisible. Empress Xiao also knew that the situation was critical at this time, and even if he was a subordinate who had been following him for many years, he might not be reliable. At this time, the more you have to pretend to be calm and calm your subordinates, and even say a few jokes to show that you don't put the rebellious ministers and thieves in your eyes. And then there was a reward for a lot of money, and the betrayer of Sima Dejiao came to spread the news

Gong E made horse bones and let other palace people follow their example. Since Yang Guang entered the Jiangdu, his control of the imperial court has not been as good as before. Although Jiangdu is the place where he started, he is assisted by Jianghuai scholars. However, after all, he was far away from the national capital, and after many years of neglect of management, he hastily moved in a large number of soldiers of the Chinese army

, there are inevitably many inconveniences, and it is not surprising that there is a great chaos in the city. As an emperor, Yang Guang didn't care about the suffering of the people or the humiliation of officials, what he cared about was whether his ears and eyes were well-informed, and whether he could know the actions of officials and generals in time. In a hurry, it is difficult to send henchmen to gather news, and then experience

After several changes, Yang Guang became more and more suspicious, and most of his confidants in the past did not believe him. The dignified emperor, there are actually not many people around him. Although Yang Guang was anxious, there was nothing he could do if there was no one under him. It was still Empress Xiao who offered a plan, taking Gong'e as her eyes and ears, and inquiring about the actions of officials and generals for Yang Guang. In the end, he is a child of the Xiao family in Lanling, even if he has never entered the palace since he was a child

Know the family's powerful family's methods of controlling slaves and controlling their subordinates. Since taking charge of the pepper room, Empress Xiao has treated Gong E with benevolence and righteousness, especially for the palace people who see it, and has cultivated a group of shrewd, strong, beautiful and loyal Gong E. These palace people were sent out of the palace in the name of old age, or given to ministers as household servants, or rewarded with wives and concubines for the Xiaoguo army. In the name of appeasing the soldiers and stabilizing the morale of the army, marrying these palace people among ordinary palace maids was the strategy used by Empress Xiao.

These palace people also lived up to Empress Xiao's expectations, and did everything possible to send the news into the palace, so that Yang Guang knew everything about the movements in the outside world. After Xu Le entered the Jiangdu, he was calculated by the Yuwen family, Han Yue and others were captured, Xu Le and Lai Cheng, Yuwen Chengji and others fought and made a big fuss in the Xiaoguo military camp, etc., Yang Guangneng knew it clearly, and was able to leave the palace in time, all of which were the contributions of these palace laves. It is also by relying on the news sent by these women that Yang Guang can still maintain his authority in front of the ministers, making Wenwu believe that the emperor has absolute control over the court, and his words and deeds are under the emperor's surveillance, and he does not dare to act lightly

Recklessness. The news from this Gong E tonight is even more related to the situation in Jiangdu and even the life and death of Yang Guang himself, which is far from being comparable to the previous news. Not only that, but she even drunk Sima Dekan, so that he couldn't look at things, at least tonight, and he couldn't do any other rebellious moves. Even if Empress Xiao didn't know about the soldiers, she also understood how important the night that Gong E won was in terms of the general situation, and it might even have an impact on the overall situation, no matter how generous the reward was. It's in the heart of Xiao Hou

has a decision, no matter how harsh Gong'e wants, he must try his best to satisfy it, so as to win people's hearts and boost morale.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and it was Yang Guang who came in a hurry. Yang Guang did not stay at Queen Xiao's place tonight, but an unknown beauty in the Lucky Maze Building. Because this son of heaven has always been casual and suspicious, even the matter of summoning luck is based on his heart, and there is no law to follow, and it takes a lot of time for the inner servants to find someone

It was only at this point that I arrived in a hurry. Yang Guang entered the door with four saber attendants. These military eunuchs were also the closest guards beside Yang Guang, they were all around twenty years old, tall and straight, and their appearance was quite handsome. These military supervisors under Yang Guang are all orphans who were recruited into the palace when he was the king of Jin, and he was taught martial arts by military veterans and fierce generals since he was a child, and his teaching method is the same as that of a fighting general in the army. Practice the method first, then practice the fighting method, and finally train the killing method, although it is hindered by the qualifications and the invested financial goods that cannot be practiced as a fighting means.

However, his martial arts skills are far above ordinary generals, and he has practiced a lethal killing method with a knife, and he is the most reliable and powerful force next to Yang Guang. Even if the Ninth Five-Year Supreme wants to cultivate such a group of military supervisors, it is not easy, the total number of such military supervisors is not large, and it cannot be used casually. In addition, although the world is chaotic but the turmoil is not forbidden in the palace, Yang Guang can sit back and relax, and he doesn't need these military supervisors to contribute. weekday

I don't take them with me. There were four military supervisors accompanying him in one breath tonight, so I knew how much Yang Guang attached importance to this matter. The person entered the room and went straight to the embroidery pier and sat down, the two military eunuchs closed the door, and the other two stood behind Yang Guang. There was no movement in the room except for Yang Guang's heavy breathing, and the atmosphere became dull and depressing, and the relaxed atmosphere that Empress Xiao had worked hard to create before disappeared with Yang Guang's appearance. It was the palace ladies around Empress Xiao who were nervous, and they all looked at Empress Xiao, not knowing whether it was good or bad. The messenger Gong'e lowered her head and remained motionless, her body trembling

Sift bran.

Empress Xiao coughed lightly and said to the palace lady: "You don't have to be afraid, the saint will not treat the meritorious man badly, as long as you return the truth, you will not lose your benefits." "This Gong E is also a person who gives eloquence, otherwise she would not have been sent out by Empress Xiao to be a meticulous worker. But in front of Yang Guang, she completely lost her previous calmness, and her words were intermittent and upside down, and she had to rely on Empress Xiao to make a gap on the side

Yang Guang could understand what was going on.

When Gong E finished speaking, Yang Guangcai asked coldly: "In this way, Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong and others intend to gather a crowd to rebel and seize the seal?" Gong E replied softly, still maintaining the posture of her pink neck hanging down. Empress Xiao said on the side: "I'm afraid it's not just these three people, they each have their own subordinates, and I'm afraid there are thousands of people in the attack." Thanks to her timely delivery, only

Don't let things get out of hand. ”

Zitong said yes. This slave knows gratitude, and is ten thousand times better than those wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people! Reward! Although Yang Guang said reward, his tone was as cold as ice, and people couldn't help but shiver when he heard it.

Xiao Hou said: "Sage Shengming! The concubine thanked the saint for the reward on behalf of the slave. Yang Guang didn't pay attention to Empress Xiao, but stood up from his seat, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the handle of the saber at the waist of a military eunuch behind him, and his wrist was forced, accompanied by a crisp sound of dragon groan, the sword was unsheathed! Yang Guang held the knife in his hand and raised it in the air, and snorted coldly: "

At the moment, the reward is secondary, and the punishment is the first. Sima and the other three deceitful conspired against the Holy Grace, what crime should they be guilty of? Empress Xiao peeked and saw Yang Guang's eyes emitting a fierce light, his expression was extremely hideous, Rao is husband and wife have been deeply in love with each other for many years, but at this time, they couldn't help but feel that their hearts were beating wildly, and they always felt that Yang Guang was a little abnormal tonight, and it seemed that madness was about to occur again

Make. I was both anxious and a little panicked in my heart, Erniang was not by my side at this time, and I didn't have the opportunity to touch the qin and burn incense to help Yang Guang calm down his mood. had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The three thieves are extremely evil, and they should be beheaded." ”

"Oh? Zitong also thinks that the three should be killed? ”

"The three thieves really deserve to be killed!"

"In that case, then kill them!"

As these words came out, Yang Guang suddenly waved the treasure knife downward!

Blood splattered, and heads fell to the ground! The Gong E, who first designed to drunk Sima and then rushed in time to deliver the letter, fell to the ground, and the dead body fell down. The splattered blood stained Yang Guang's robe, making his appearance look a little sloppy and a little terrifying under the light

, both terrible and somewhat pitiful. The dignified son of heaven killed people with his own hands, and he killed his subordinates who were loyal to report the news, Rao is Empress Xiao was also a little difficult to accept at this time, only to feel dizzy for a while, Yang Guang, everyone in the room, and even the entire room were spinning upside down in front of him, and it seemed that he might fall at any time.
