The emperor went out of the palace at night, and the most nervous people were not the noble attendants, nor the cronies who were often beaten and scolded, but the guards who were responsible for protecting the holy chariot.

The Assassin waited in the shadows for an unknown amount of time, but sprang out silently, and was about to pounce on the Emperor before he screamed "Dog Emperor".

The Emperor was physically strong and quick-witted, and he did not make a big deal in the event of an accident, and he embraced the Assassin with open arms, and the two fell to the ground and rolled together.

The people in the courtyard were all stunned, the emperor had already rolled on the ground twice, and the five beauties who were posing were the first to scream in horror, and they were infected, and Lou Gong also screamed.

Lou Ji and Zhang Shiyu ran over at the same time, one wanted to mend the knife, and the other wanted to save people.

But someone was faster than them, and several guards swished past, holding down the two people who were huddled together, and forcefully separated.

The emperor was not dead, he was shocked and angry, and was helped up by two guards, and shouted hoarsely: "A thousand cuts, ...... him Wait, stay alive ......"

The assassin refused to be restrained, laughing loudly, fighting with all his body, waving his short blade everywhere, forcing the besieging guards to retreat, and stabbing himself in the stomach one last time.

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

The Emperor shook off his guards, rushed over in a few steps, grabbed the assassin's coat, and asked sharply, "Who is it?" Who sent you? ”

The assassin smacked a few times in his throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly collapsed in the Emperor's hands.

The Emperor let go, causing the corpse to fall to the ground, and with a full of rage, he spun around in a circle, looking for the main messenger behind the assassin.

"It's you!" The Emperor shouted angrily, "It's you again! ”

Lou Ji was extremely disappointed, but his face was still calm, "If it's me, someone has to deliver the message for me." ”

The emperor calmed down a little, that's right, Lou Ji has been imprisoned in the imperial city these days, and he has no contact with the outside world, and the emperor only decided to go out on patrol tonight, and Lou Ji has no chance to reveal his whereabouts.

Thinking of the word "whereabouts", the emperor's gaze turned to Lou Hard, "It's you, you are the only one outside......"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Lou's voice trembled, his body trembled, and even his eyes seemed to tremble.

"Shut up!" The more the emperor thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Not only was Lou hard, but Zhang Shiyu's voice on the side was also trembling.

"Even you ......" The emperor was even more angry, and suddenly felt weird, those guards who had just made the achievement of escorting were actually trembling slightly.

The Emperor felt a strange pain, and looked down to see a large blood stain on his abdomen, which he had just been angry about, and did not notice that his body was injured.

Seeing that the blood seemed to be still flowing out, the emperor was unsteady and shook a few times.

The people around him all wanted to come to help, but the emperor calmed down, covered his abdomen with his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to stop him, "Stop." "Glance at it," Yu Shizi came over. ”

Zhang Shiyu immediately ran to the emperor's side and held his arm.

The guards could still be trusted, and the emperor continued: "The people in the courtyard stay and check the room. Tell the outside that I have nothing to do, no one is allowed to move around at will, talk nonsense at will, and those who dare to spread the news without permission will be immediately killed. ”

The leader of the guards obeyed the order, sent his men to search everywhere, and personally went out to give orders.

It happened so fast that the guards outside didn't know what was going on, and the attendants who were having fun in the military mansion on the other side didn't even notice it.

The Emperor looked at the five women, "Music will be played later, as usual." ”

The fifth girl hadn't come to her senses yet, so she would just nod her head blankly.

The emperor finally stared at the Lou brothers for a while, "Stay here, don't move around." ”

Zhang Shiyu couldn't help but interject: "I have to send someone to ask for an imperial doctor." ”

The emperor shook his head, "Alarm the imperial doctor, and the whole city will know that something happened to me." I think it's okay, the injury is not so serious, help me in and bandage it. ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Shiyu wanted to persuade again, but the emperor was resolute, so he could only obey.

Lou Qiang woke up like a dream, took a step forward, and immediately two guards drew their swords to stop them, they strictly abided by the holy decree and did not allow the Lou brothers to move.

Lou Jian hurriedly shrank his feet and said in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty, it's really not my ......"

The emperor did not look back, and slowly entered the room with the support of his own nephew.

One of the guards said to the five women, "Your Majesty has ordered you to play music." ”

The five women were frightened, and only one of them could speak: "Thing...... ...... in the hall"

There were more than a dozen guards in the courtyard, and someone immediately went to the living room and fetched musical instruments and five stools.

The five women sat down, each plucking the strings and stroking the flute, which was not good in the first place, and at this time it was even more ugly, as if a flock of birds were competing for food and territory.

The guards outside rubbed their ears when they heard this, but the people in the courtyard were in no mood to comment.

Lou took a hard look at the corpse on the ground, shivered, and muttered, "It's over, it's over, no matter what, the assassin is out of my house...... What can I do? Your Majesty will never believe me again......"

No matter how many people were present, Lou Gang began to cry with a whimper.

Lou Ji stood next to him and persuaded: "Third brother, don't be afraid, Your Majesty will not wronged people casually." ”

"Unless the Messenger of the Lord is found at once, and at once...... Seventeenth brother, you are the smartest, think about who the master of the assassin will be? ”

Lou Ji knew who it was, he had made a plan with Ma Wei and Guo Shifeng to arrange assassins in three small harems, and when Guo Shifeng went west, Ma Wei fled, and Lou Ji was trapped in the imperial city, he thought that this plan was over, but he didn't expect it to continue, and Ma Wei's disappearance made the plan even more traceless.

The leader of the guards examined the corpse, got up and asked, "Is this person a servant in the palace?" ”

"Definitely not, I haven't seen him." Lou said immediately.

The emperor didn't trust the Lou brothers, and the head of the guards naturally didn't believe it either, so he said to one of his subordinates: "Call the Lou Mansion steward outside." ”

After the steward opened the door of the Zhongjun Mansion, he stayed outside, and when he was brought in, he heard a strange noise in the courtyard, and his heart was already worried, and when he saw the corpse on the ground, he was so frightened that he almost fell, and was pushed by the guards, and stumbled to the vicinity of the corpse.

"Do you recognize this person? Lying is a loss of head. The leader of the guards asked.

The steward's heart was in turmoil, "Recognize, recognize, this is ...... The servant bought in the house a few days ago is called Luo San'er. ”

The leader of the guards glanced at Lou Hard, who turned pale as paper, "Old Zhao, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lao Zhao didn't understand the master's meaning, and in front of the palace guards, he didn't dare to lie, "It's indeed Luo San'er, he was originally from Liang State, his family was in decline, he had no job to do, and he had to sell himself as a slave, I think he can write a few words, so he stayed in the mansion, and I don't know why he came here." ”

Lou Gang immediately said: "You heard, it was the servant he bought, it has nothing to do with me, I haven't seen any Luo San'er at all." ”

The head of the guard didn't reply, and only waited for the emperor to ask, and he could explain.

Zhang Shiyu opened the door and came out, looking much calmer, "Bring the wine." ”

The emperor can still drink, everyone is somewhat relieved, the Lou family can't move, and the head of the guard personally goes to the hall to serve wine and hands it over to Zhang Shiyu.

"Your Majesty is fine, Your Majesty is aware of everything." Lou Jian said these two sentences repeatedly, and his face never recovered.

It didn't take long for Zhang Shiyu to come out again, "Stop playing, it's too ugly." ”

The fifth girl put down her musical instrument, and her face was as ugly as that of the Chinese general.

"I'll send them all away tomorrow!" Lou Jian was still trying to curry favor with the emperor, and as for what was happening in his family, he had no intention of thinking about it.

Zhang Shiyu opened the door for the third time, "Your Majesty summoned the foundation of the building." ”

Lou Jian immediately reminded in a low voice: "To protect me is to protect yourself." ”

As he walked inside, the two guards followed him closely after him, and as they entered, they stood in front of him.

There was a candle lit in the room, and the emperor refused to go to bed, and sat down in a chair, the wound on his abdomen was bandaged, and his face was slightly pale, but he looked fine.

"I know, this must have something to do with you." The emperor pondered it repeatedly, but still came to the initial conclusion.

Lou Ji stood at the door, unable to take a step forward, and said flatly: "No matter what, Your Majesty will count this matter on my head." ”

"Hehe, this is called a prophecy, I really don't understand why I want to keep you alive until now."

"Your Majesty wants to reveal the truth in Tongguan."

"Yes, Tongguan, hey, you two brothers are still of great use, and you will leave for Tongguan tomorrow."

Zhang Shiyu didn't understand what the two were talking about, but he knew that the emperor's injuries were not as light as they seemed, "Your Majesty can't go on the expedition, you should go back to the palace now......"

"When the others come back, I said that tonight, regardless of the kings and ministers, we will have fun together."

"But ......"

The emperor lightly pressed the wound and said with a smile: "It's as if I was injured in advance." Get out of the way, I'm talking to the building. ”

Zhang Shiyu had to stand aside.

The Emperor looked at the building, "Do you think I'm going to be angry?" No, this stab woke me up, anger doesn't help, it only does bad. It is I myself who provides you with too many opportunities, the so-called imprisonment is a joke, the first emperor is wise and martial, he made a mistake in this matter, and the people of the five countries will either be killed or pardoned, and imprisonment is tantamount to forcing you to rebel. ”

Lou Ji wondered if he could break through the interception of the two guards, but the conclusion was that he couldn't.

The emperor smiled, "I swore a poisonous oath in front of the tablets of my ancestors and ancestors, and I will never exempt anyone from imprisonment, so there is only one choice left - kill them all." There is no way, the first emperor forced the people of the five countries to rebel, and the people of the five countries forced me to kill the killer. ”

"The people of the Five Nations cannot be killed."

"The people of the five countries are all good people, there is no need to kill, the scholars and relatives of the five countries, there are about six or seven hundred thousand, women can be spared death, men regardless of age and young, all killed, about 300,000 people, Tiancheng Dynasty can afford it."

Lou Ji kept his mouth shut.

"You can go out and tell the fat man that he won't be able to grow for a few days - I want to hear his cry."

Lou Ji withdrew, no matter how the third brother asked, he refused to say a word.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside, as well as the sharp shouts of the guards, and Lou Qiang was startled, "Who dares to break into here?" ”

A guard hurriedly ran over and said to the leader at the gate: "Shao Junqian asked to see him, saying that there is urgent military affairs." ”

The leader reported through the door, and after a while, Zhang Shiyu opened the door: "Let him in." ”

Shao Junqian ran into the courtyard, saw the corpse on the ground, was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was the emperor killing people on a whim, not too surprised, and said to the Lou brothers: "The general and the prince are safe, they are on their way back to Beijing, and they will arrive tomorrow." ”

"Is the general alright?" Lou Jian almost burst out laughing.

"Well, however, the river workers inside and outside Tongguan rebelled...... Shao Junqian said as she ran, and she didn't have time to finish the sentence.

"River Workers Rebellion...... What is the meaning? Lou said blankly.

"It's not just Qinzhou that has troubled people." Floor Road.

The emperor's roar came from inside the house, and he quickly regained his calm, and after a long time, Shao Junqian opened the door and beckoned to the building.

Every time he called his younger brother in, Lou Jian was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to fight, so he could only whisper: "Say more good things." ”

The two guards wanted to follow, Shao Junqian waved her hand, "Your Majesty only saw him alone." ”

Lou Ji entered the house again, the emperor had already moved to the bed, and was explaining to Zhang Shiyu: "Find the imperial doctor, gather the ministers, I want to go out of the town overnight to guard the army......"

Shao Junqian attached to Lou Ji's ear and said in a very low voice: "When are you going to take that step?" ”

This is the code word that the two have talked to, Lou Ji understood what it meant, didn't think about anything, leaned over and pulled out the dagger, and walked to the bed inside.

You only get one chance.
