Chapter 50: Assassination of Wei Zhongxian

After Tian Ergeng retreated, Wei Zhongxian began to check the recitals of various places; Since Emperor Xizong ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, all the recitals of Emperor Shangshu were reviewed by Wei Zhongxian in advance, and some inconsequential affairs, if they were not related to important government affairs, had full power to deal with them.

Although he controlled the government and was a very popular minister, and above 10,000 people under one person, in view of the emperor's trust, Wei Zhongxian did his best to share the emperor's worries and solve problems, and did not dare to take it lightly.

He knows very well that he has the supreme power today, which comes from his absolute loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is loyalty to the emperor; As long as the emperor reigns for one day, his position as Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty will not be shaken, and no one can shake it.

In other words, Wei Zhongxian was only loyal to the emperor in his heart, which was what the emperor gave him what he is now, and it was also a strong guarantee that he had supreme power and glory. The reason why Wei Zhongxian was particularly trusted and reused by the emperor was also based on his incomparable loyalty to the emperor.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian's personal command ability is also very good, for the government affairs of the DPRK and China, he has done his best, every day from all over the country to play, no matter how late, he can do every day must be clear, clear must be fruitful, there is a beginning and an end.

However, when it comes to major affairs, Wei Zhongxian will select them separately and submit them to the emperor for reading the next day, and after listening to the emperor's holy edicts, he will make a decision, and he will never cross the thunder pool.

Therefore, in many affairs involving the Xinwang Mansion, Wei Zhongxian basically did not interfere, but tried his best to protect and open the door of convenience; Because, he knows best the weight of King Xin in the emperor's heart, which can be regarded as loving the house and Wu!

It was not until the third watch that Wei Zhongxian finished reviewing nearly 1,000 pieces of music from all over the country, and used a cinnabar pen to classify them and read them one by one. Wei Zhongxian got up and stretched his waist, feeling slightly tired and sleepy.

At this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of rubble exploding from the roof; Wei Zhongxian was immediately alert, although he was tired, but over the years, he had always maintained a high level of vigilance, and he had been assassinated countless times by assassins, and intuitively judged that it was a man-made sound.

Wei Zhongxian gently removed the lampshade, turned the flame on the candlestick, turned the candle flame to the minimum, and then replaced it with a pink lampshade, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed; Then, Wei Zhongxian took off his clothes, turned around and went to the couch to put down the mosquito net.

Leaning slightly, there was an even breathing sound from the couch, obviously Wei Zhongxian was really overtired, and soon fell asleep; In the middle of the hot summer, the sound of insects sounded in the courtyard from time to time.

At this moment, a figure lurked on the roof of Wei Zhongxian's bedroom with the moonlight on its back, motionless, blending into the night; Just before, because of the long-term bite of mosquitoes, the pedestrian in the hidden night moved his body a little and accidentally crushed a piece of rubble.

The night walker pressed his ear to the rubble, and listened attentively with bated breath, after making sure that Wei Zhongxian was already asleep; Then he turned his body slightly, and slid down the ridge of the roof with his head and feet, and when he saw that he was about to fall down the eaves, the night walker straightened his waist, barbed the eaves with his toes, and at the same time hugged the pillars with both hands, and fell to the ground silently.

As soon as the momentum rolled, the night walker once again hid in the shadows of the cloister, and continued to hibernate; At this moment, a team of East Factory night guards, walking by with neat steps, after a round of inspection, seeing nothing unusual, the factory guards continued to inspect other places.

Seeing the inspection of the factory guard leaving, the night walker cat got up, came to the window lightly, observed that there was nothing unusual, and gently touched the ground with both feet, like a raccoon cat, and slid into Wei Zhongxian's bedroom; Because it was a hot summer, the windows were open at night, so night walkers could easily sneak into the room.

After infiltrating the room, the Night Walker did not immediately take action, but continued to hide behind the backlit table; Leaning slightly, after making sure that Wei Zhongxian had fallen asleep again, the night walker looked at Wei Zhongxian's couch, with a fierce look in his eyes, and pulled out the sword behind his back and moved it in the direction of the couch.

Because of the heat of summer, the windows around the room are all open, and night walkers can only lower their bodies and move against the ground; When he moved to the side of the couch, Huo Ran, a night walker, got up, suddenly lifted the curtain, and stabbed Wei Zhongxian, who was sleeping on the couch, with the sword in his hand.

There was a metallic sound from the "jingle bell", and the night walkers were suddenly shocked! After a closer look, I saw a stainless steel net appear behind the curtain, and the sword that had been stabbed down was blocked by the stainless steel mesh, and bursts of sparks were sparked.

The night walker's eyes showed a look of anger, and he angrily raised the sword in his hand, and slashed at the steel net again, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, making a violent metallic sound.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian's eyes opened and closed, he got up majestically, sat cross-legged on the couch, showed a playful look on his face, and said in a gloomy manner: "Today, there are more people who want to be on the head of our family, and in the end, you will be like them, ha••quack."

The night walker's eyes showed unwillingness, and he wanted to breathe fire, and continued to pick up the sword in his hand and slash the steel net, wanting to split the block and kill Wei Zhongxian, and scolded angrily: "Eunuch, you have done a lot of evil, today is your death!" ”

At this moment, there were bursts of footsteps in the courtyard, and countless factory guards held torches, instantly surrounding the main hall in a stormy and impenetrable manner; At the moment when Wei Zhongxian changed into a pink lampshade, an early warning signal was already issued.

The night walker slashed the steel net dozens of times in a row, and when he saw that there was no damage, he suddenly looked like a deflated ball, his eyes burned with blazing fire, and he shouted angrily: "Eunuch, today is your fate, let you live for a few more days!" ”

After that, Huo Ran, a night walker, turned around, walked out of the room with his sword, and came to the outside of the main hall, facing the factory guards who surrounded him, he was not afraid, his eyes looked at the factory guards fiercely, and said coldly: "A bunch of miscellaneous!" ”

A brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu wearing a round hat, a brown shirt, and soap boots on his feet, stepped out of the queue and said coldly: "Oh, where did the assassin come from, if you don't tie your hands and catch it, when will you wait?" ”

The night walker looked at Jinyi Wei Qianhu coldly, and shouted angrily: "Hmph! Li Yuanhua, just rely on you bastards, you want to keep grandpa and me? ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu is Li Yuanhua, who is in charge of the East Factory, this person is strong in martial arts, ruthless in means, and is deeply trusted by Wei Zhongxian, who is responsible for the execution of the East Factory, and is in charge of life and death; The DPRK and China talked about Li Yuanhua, talked about the change of the tiger's color, and the murderous name was famous.

When Li Yuanhua heard this, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully looked at the black-clothed masked man in front of him, obviously the other party was someone he was familiar with, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while!

So he sneered: "Hehe! It seems that you are an old man of Li? Since you have come to the East Factory, let's stay as a guest! With that, he waved one hand at the masked night walker, and more than a dozen factory guard masters raised their long knives and killed the masked night walker.

The masked man was not afraid, standing still, facing the factory guards of the East Factory, waiting for the master of the factory guards to approach, only to see the masked man holding the sword wrist twisted, his legs slightly bent, his body leaned forward, and he kicked hard under his feet, bursting out, his body was as fast as lightning, the sword in his hand was slashed, the sword light flashed, the blood sprayed 'poof', the screams resounded through the night sky, and the arms of the two factory guards were cut off;

After the cross missed, the masked man returned with another sword, and then slashed the arm of another factory guard; Li Yuanhua, who was watching from a distance, suddenly had a condensed gaze, and secretly wondered in his heart: What a subtle swordsmanship, such a fast body technique, such a ruthless method, this person's body and swordsmanship are so familiar!

In an instant, the factory guards lost three masters in a row, and in the face of strong enemies, the other factory guards did not dare to take it lightly, knowing that they had encountered a strong enemy today; The master of the factory guard quickly closed the formation, surrounded the masked man in the middle, implemented the encirclement tactic, and fought in one place.

Dongchang factory guards are good at the art of combined attacks, and attack the enemy's upper, middle and lower three key points at the same time, often able to defeat stronger enemies; However, the tried and tested technique of combo attack completely lost its effectiveness in front of the masked man, and it was useless.

The masked man is too fast, his swordsmanship is fast and accurate, and he is extremely specialized; At the moment when the factory guard just launched an attack, he saw the masked figure moving rapidly, the sword light flashed, and the last strike came first, cutting off the arms of the two factory guards in succession, making them lose their combat ability and tear the defense in an instant.

Just when the factory guards in the east factory were stunned, the masked man toed a little to the ground, stopped his body, fell backwards, and performed the 'ground dragon technique', his back was almost close to the ground, his legs kicked the ground sharply in a row, and he slid backwards quickly, and at the same time, waving the sword in his hand, 'poof•••' There were two screams in a row, blood splashed, cutting off the left and right legs of the two factory guards, and they fell to the ground and wailed.

Before the other factory guards could react, the masked man slapped the ground with his backpalm, kicked the knee joints of the two factory guards with both legs in a row, and the sound of two broken bones was 'click', and the screams came one after another, which was terrifying, and the two factory guards were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the rest of the factory guards' faces changed greatly, their eyes showed a look of horror, they clenched the long knives in their hands and were on guard, and they all took a step back, not daring to approach the masked man again.

In an instant, the factory guards of the East Factory were disabled seven people in a row, shocking the factory guards of the East Factory; Li Yuanhua's face was gloomy and extremely ugly, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency is so ruthless, if I am not mistaken, you are the remnant sword of the Xuanming Seven Swords?" ”

"Huh!" The masked man sneered and said nothing!

"I have heard that the seven swords of Xuanming will be crippled when the sword comes out, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" Li Yuanhua's eyes were even more afraid, and he continued: "Dongchang has never had a grudge against the Seven Swords, why did you break into Dongchang at night, and what was your intention? ”

"Li Yuanhua, you are so forgetful! Three years ago, in the bloody case of the Six Gentlemen, Dongchang killed one hundred and thirty-eight members of my Yang family. I can't kill the eunuch Wei Zhongxian today, cut off your dog's head to sacrifice my father's spirit in the sky! The remnant sword gritted his teeth with hatred, and said hatefully.

"The Six Gentlemen of Donglin? Yang? Li Yuanhua thought about it when he heard this: "You are the son of Yang Lian, the fish that slipped through the net Yang Yanping?" ”
