Chapter 823: Assassination!
A few minutes later, Xu Changqing finally woke up from the edge of the cliff and distanced the two, but at this time, the atmosphere between the two could no longer be taken seriously......
Empress Xiao Zhou sneered: "Are you still afraid? I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of? ”
Xu Changqing was speechless for a while.
Fuck, it's got to this point, it's already 'yellow mud falling in the crotch of the pants - it's not shit it's shit......
In fact, the reason why Xu Changqing pushed her away just now was not because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, but because he was ...... I'm a little afraid of her person......
This woman, even though she is delicate and beautiful, is really too extreme......
If you are not careful, Xu Changqing will not dare to think about the consequences.
Even, maybe because of the matter of Queen Zhou and Yuan Cairen, she is afraid that she will ...... I've been eyeing myself for a long time......
Speaking of this, Xu Changqing also felt some indescribable embarrassment and sadness.
The collapse of the Ming Dynasty is a collapse from the inside out, a complete collapse, and a thorough interpretation.
When Empress Xiao Zhou was elected to the palace, even if she was not as strict and powerful as Zhang Baozhu and her group at the beginning, she should not be much weaker.
She and Yuan Cairen passed five levels and killed six generals, and when they first entered the palace, they were probably full of expectations.
However......
The collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty is simply indescribable.
Emperor Chongzhen himself can't eat enough and patch it, will he give others good treatment?
Maybe the treatment of Queen Zhou's side can barely be guaranteed, but whether it is Yuan Guifei or Zhu Cihong's brothers, it is difficult to say.
The palace was already complicated, and Zhu Cihong did not open the palace and move out of the palace to live at that time, so it was impossible for outsiders to understand the entanglement.
There has never been any empathy in the world, and many, many people will not cry until they see the coffin and die!
blamed others, they were better than Confucius and Mencius. Forced, standing directly on the commanding heights, but when it really happened to him, he was not as good as a dog!
They are just empty names, but they are mascots and victims without any guarantee and treatment......
I was afraid that there was nothing when I didn't have a choice before, but at this time, Zhuyu was in front......
has reached this point, it is no longer possible to retreat with her whole body, Xu Changqing must first suppress her arrogance, and said coldly: "Kneel!" ”
Empress Xiao Zhou didn't come back to her senses for a while, but after a while, she saw what Xu Changqing meant, and she reacted, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
She obviously had no experience in this area and was very scared, but she was really ruthless, and after only hesitating for a moment, she knelt on the ground obediently......
However, before a while, the two were adjusting to each other, and outside, there was a sudden noise.
Empress Xiao Zhou was suddenly nervous as petrified!
She is indeed bold and ruthless enough, even Xu Changqing was pulled off the horse by her, and she is definitely one of the few people who let Xu Changqing suffer, but she is still too young, but she is just in her early twenties, and in the next generation, she will look like a sophomore or junior, how can she not panic at this time?
Xu Changqing is also a clever man, but he said coldly on his face: "You are busy with you, what are you doing with so much leisure?" ”
As he spoke, he kept her behind the pillars and listened carefully to the outside.
Maybe it's too exciting at this time, or maybe she's a ruthless person herself, and she really doesn't care about the outside anymore......
Xu Changqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while......
But at this time, Xu Changqing didn't have time to think about anything else, so he was busy pricking up his ears and listening more carefully to the movements outside.
Soon, Xu Changqing understood a little, under the mountain, there was a murder, it was too sudden, there were not many guards brought by Queen Xiao Zhou, and it was impossible to tell whether anyone had come up the mountain in the chaos.
Xu Changqing relaxed slightly, stroking her green silk to soothe her emotions.
Empress Xiao Zhou was as well-behaved as an obedient cat at this time, and she no longer resisted Xu Changqing's majesty at all.
But soon, there was an urgent inquiry from the palace maid outside: "Queen Mother, how are you?" Didn't run into an assassin, did you? ”
Xu Changqing glanced at her, and Empress Xiao Zhou hurriedly said steadily: "Assassin? What assassin? What happened? ”
The palace maid hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, a few sons who are swimming in the lake outside have been assassinated, I heard that several people have died, there are almost seven or eight assassins, a few have run away, but there are still a few missing, the officials below suspect that someone ran to the mountain and will hurt you......"
"Oh. Anyway. Hongu is fine here. Don't worry about the main palace, don't disturb the main palace Qingxiu. ”
"This, it's ......"
When the palace maid left, Queen Xiao Zhou was about to cry in horror, and said with a crying voice: "Xu Lang, this, what should I do?" How could we be so unlucky to encounter such a thing......"
Xu Changqing was also a little irritable in his heart, but he played with the taste on his face: "What? Now you know that you are scared? ”
“……”
Empress Xiao Zhou was speechless, but she didn't have time to pay attention to the others, and hurriedly said: "Brother, in case, in case they find out, we ...... We're all going to die without a place to bury......"
Xu Changqing said angrily: "You don't have these fucking thoughts, can you do this shit?" What if it is discovered? With Lao Tzu's skills, you can walk away at any time! ”
"Woo ......"
Empress Xiao Zhou couldn't stop crying: "Brother, the slave knows that he is wrong, he really knows that he is wrong...... Or, slave, slave go first, right? As long as the slaves are gone, they shouldn't be able to search the mountains, you just have to wait until the evening, and you can get out safely......"
"I want to leave now, it's too late!"
Xu Changqing pulled her up, but her legs were about to be weak, and she was directly soft on Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing didn't want to worry about her anymore, and said: "Remember in the future, if you don't have a diamond, don't come to this porcelain job!" Pack up and go. I'll take care of you later. ”
“……”
Empress Xiao Zhou gritted her silver teeth, but at this time she calmed down, and without saying a word, she actually knelt on the ground again......
"You ......"
Xu Changqing was also a little stunned for a while, looking at her dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Empress Xiao Zhou sneered: "Brother, I have paid so much, if I haven't done it today, then I won't be willing to die." If you don't want me, it's my life! ”
“……”
Xu Changqing really wants to slap himself, isn't there enough fucking things......
At this time, it seemed that someone outside had arrived outside the courtyard gate, and was anxiously explaining the danger of the matter to Empress Xiao Zhou's attendants, but Empress Xiao Zhou in front of her didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, that is, she was going to end with Xu Changqing.
Even if Xu Changqing was irritable, he had to deny that this situation was really a bit exciting......
Not long after, Xu Changqing also made a ruthless ......
……
After a quarter of an hour, the world is finally back on track.
Empress Xiao Zhou's pretty face was blushing, but she didn't 'admit it', she looked at Xu Changqing shyly and worriedly: "Brother, I can leave now, but what should I do here?" ”
Xu Changqing picked up her handkerchief and helped her wipe the corners of her mouth, playing with the taste: "You still have a little conscience." Pack up and leave. I've got my own way out. ”
Empress Xiao Zhou's pretty face suddenly turned even redder, "Brother, people, people are not satisfied this time......
"I ......"
Xu Changqing had the urge to vomit blood, but he also understood her deep meaning, he didn't trust her enough, or rather, he didn't mean to pull her out of this troubled water......
can only be reassured: "Hurry up and clean up, don't toss around." There will be many opportunities in the future. Let's see how Lao Tzu cleans you up when the time comes! ”
Empress Xiao Zhou was a little relieved and hurriedly packed up.
After a while, after Xu Changqing checked, there was no problem, so he hugged her heavily, "Contact at any time, don't panic, I know your ability." ”
"Hmm."
Empress Xiao Zhou glanced at Xu Changqing with great nostalgia, as if she wanted to carve Xu Changqing into her bone marrow, which was reluctant to walk to the door.
"The Queen."
"The Queen's Mother......"
Not far from the door, there seemed to be a lot of people on duty, busy greetings.
Empress Xiao Zhou's voice quickly came: "What's the matter?" How could there be assassins in this broad daylight? ”
A man's voice hurried to explain.
Xu Changqing understood after listening for a moment that this male voice was the officer who rushed over from around, and with his narration, he also understood the whole story.
A few sons and brothers who were swimming in the lake today, some of them offended people and were hated, and the boat was just ready, and they were about to get on the boat, when they were suddenly attacked, and they were slashed and killed, and more than a dozen people died on the spot.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
Especially in a place like Nanjing, the entertainment industry is too developed, and there are not too many things to be jealous of, and the feud may only be in an instant.
However, after all, Nanjing is one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where the imperial court is located, and there has not been such a major case for several years.
Moreover, the assassin's methods are really cruel, not to mention in broad daylight, not even the maids and maids, they are extremely vicious.
Now, the imperial court has mobilized a large army to come over, and is even asking for support from the model army.
Empress Xiao Zhou's personal qualities were undoubted, and she asked several questions to the officers on duty one after another, as if she was also explaining to Xu Changqing, including creating time for Xu Changqing to run away.
This made Xu Changqing's evaluation of her even higher, this woman is not too stupid and knows how to maintain the core.
But at this time, Xu Changqing will definitely not leave in a hurry.
There are people from the model army coming over, Qin Dongxu and Wang Xi will handle the matter properly, and he can wait patiently here.
If you go out rashly, you will put yourself in danger when things are unclear.
Xu Changqing looked around, and soon found a good place to hide, and in three or two clicks, he climbed directly to the beam of the house and lay down along a pillar.
Although this hall is dilapidated, it was built with care, and the beams are all good rough wood, although Xu Changqing can't tell what kind of wood it is for a while, but just looking at the texture is to know that it is very good, and it is also strong and tight.
Lying on it is actually a little dangerous, but with Xu Changqing's skills, it is nothing at all.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but reminisce about the grace just now......
Empress Xiao Zhou is right, he Xu Changqing is indeed not authentic in this matter...... That is, I want to take advantage of it, but I don't want to be responsible......
But at this time, Xu Changqing has to bear this responsibility if he doesn't want to......
I can't help but think of the famous words of He Sheng in Macau: "I am very good at chasing women, I have chased many women in my life, and there is nothing that I can't catch, but I don't know how to get rid of them......"
With the departure of Empress Xiao Zhou, the manpower outside the hall soon dispersed, but the guards were still not dispersed, Xu Changqing could faintly see a lot of figures on the side of the beam, obviously, they wanted to catch the murderer.
Xu Changqing laughed in his heart, who is so stupid, not to run out, but to run to this mountain, isn't that self-defeating?
What future can a thief have if he does this?
Hurry up and change careers.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside, and it was estimated that it would take a lot of time for the sons of the model army to come from Jiangdong Gate, and Xu Changqing was about to fall asleep in a daze.
Then!
"Gada......
Xu Changqing heard it in admiration, and in the direction of the window not far below him, there was a slight sound.
Xu Changqing was busy looking over carefully, and saw two figures, one big and one small, and they turned into the hall with difficulty!
They were all obviously injured, especially the big figure, who was still badly injured, with two arrows in his abdomen, desperately covering with a sleeve of his coat to keep the blood from coming out, but he was almost unable to hold on.
The small figure carefully helped the big figure in, helped him to the brazier, and said with a crying voice: "Fifth uncle, fifth uncle, bear with me, there is a charcoal fire here, I will help you take out the arrows immediately......"
