Chapter 4 Lives hang by a thread

I'm rubbing, I've only seen this kind of scene in a time-traveling novel, and I didn't expect to encounter it.

It's a pity that I'm not like those protagonists who travel through novels, I know all kinds of martial arts, have all kinds of skills, and have the aura of the protagonist.

At the same time as he stabbed at me, one of them said, "Hand over the Xuanhua Sutra and spare you from death." ”

"Xuanhua Sutra"? What is this thing?

I was shocked, took two steps back and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't know any "Xuanhua Sutra", help, help!" ”

Luckily, the two men in black didn't stab me, so I hid behind the screen, and the two chased after me.

Just then, several guards rushed in, shouting that there was an assassin, and then engaged the man in black.

I lay under the table, my legs weakened, and I silently prayed for myself.

What disappointed me was that these guards were just a piece of shit, and they were knocked to the ground by the man in black in three or two clicks.

After killing the guard, a man in black stabbed me with a fierce sword, and I thought that the gods would not be able to save me this time, so I closed my eyes and waited for death.

At this critical moment, a "flute" suddenly flew over and blocked the front of my neck.

Although this block didn't stab me in the throat, it cut through my chest, and blood immediately flowed out, hurting me and gritting my teeth!

"Bold assassin, don't stop!"

I looked up and saw that it was Frost who was talking.

"Don't be afraid, the emperor has concubines!" As she spoke, she fought with the man in black, without fear.

I'm stupid, Shuang'er, who was crying softly just now, is so high in martial arts.

Just as she was fighting with the man in black, the old gay Wang Chengen led a large number of guards to rush in, and soon the man in black was subdued to the ground.

"Kill these two thieves!" Wang Chengen reprimanded angrily.

"Wait!" I stopped, "Don't kill them yet!" ”

The reason why I stopped it was to ask the two assassins why they risked their lives to get this scripture.

Hearing me say this, Shuang'er ripped off the veils of the two, and Wang Chengen was shocked and said, "Why are you?" ”

I didn't know the two assassins at all, Wang Chengen pointed and said, "Wu Yifan, He Hui, as the emperor's personal guards, why did you do the assassination?" ”

I grass! Hearing this, Lao Tzu was startled, these two guys were Emperor Chongzhen's cronies.

It seems that they have been hiding their identities for many years in order to obtain this scripture, and when they saw that I was about to go south, they thought that I might take the scripture with them, so they stabbed me.

The two twisted their necks unruly and didn't speak.

Seeing this, I said: "You two answer truthfully, I can spare you from dying, why do you want to grab the "Xuanhua Sutra"? ”

The two of them glanced at me and said to themselves, "Could it be that the Dog Emperor doesn't know? Hahaha. ”

After speaking, the two of them killed themselves with their swords at the same time, spraying the blood of Lao Tzu's leg.

Seeing that the two of them died and didn't want to say anything about the "Xuanhua Sutra", I felt that this scripture should be extraordinary, and it seemed that I had to find out and see what was written.

So I asked Wang Chengen if he knew about this scripture, but he didn't know either, so I told him to hurry up and find it.

......

After Wang Chengen left, Shuang'er helped me to the bed, and then said: "The emperor is injured, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Although the two assassins only caused me a little skin wound, I felt that my situation was very dangerous, and I even felt that there was a mastermind behind the two assassins, but now that both of them are dead, Lao Tzu cannot investigate.

The imperial doctor didn't come for a long time, so Shuang'er helped me gently wipe the wound, I gritted my teeth and said, "Fortunately, there was Concubine Ai just now, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Where did you learn the martial arts of Concubine Ai? ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the concubine has had no father or mother since she was a child, and later she was fortunate to be accepted as a righteous daughter by Lord Wu Xiang and followed her eldest brother Sangui to practice martial arts. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor saw that I was smart, so he accepted me as a nobleman. ”

I rubbed, I was quite shocked when I heard this, I didn't expect this beauty to be Wu Sangui's sister-in-law, no wonder Chongzhen trusted Wu Sangui so much.

It's a pity that Chongzhen died later, and Wu Sangui's father was killed by Li Zicheng, and finally forced him to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"I was so frightened that I forgot about it, so you will stay by my side and protect my safety in the future."

"Emperor Xie, the concubines must sacrifice their lives to protect the emperor! It's a pity that those two assassins killed themselves with their swords, if it ......"

I understood what she meant, she wanted to find out the mastermind behind the two miscellaneous, and I didn't want to, but for now I can only take one step at a time.

Listening to her talk about her life experience, I couldn't help but think of Wu Sangui's recital, so I asked her to bring it to me.

I took a look, and Wu Sangui said that he had entered King Jingqin from outside Shanhaiguan, and told Chongzhen not to worry.

Wu Sangui said that, but can I not worry?

According to historical records, before Wu Sangui arrived in Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself, and then he took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Think about it, if Chen Yuanyuan and his father are arrested by Li Zicheng now, even if my buddy and I escape from Beijing, Wu Sangui is very likely to become a traitor, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

At the same time, now that the army is in chaos, if I want to escape to Nanjing alive, I must have someone to escort me.

And if this Wu Sangui is used well, it will not only protect the safety of my southward journey, but also help me defend against Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing in the future.

It's just that this traitor who shook the past and the present, how should I make good use of him? For a while, I fell into a state of sorrow.

At this moment, the old gay Wang Chengen walked in with the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor, an old man in his sixties, helped me look at the wound and said, "The emperor is not in serious trouble, just some skin injuries, just apply some plasters." ”

As he spoke, the old man took out the plaster from the medicine box and prepared to apply it to me.

But I noticed that his eyes were not right, and his hands were shaking, so I scolded, "Wait! ”

That's right, I can't believe anyone except Lao Wang and Shuang'er now, and I even think everyone wants to kill me.

"Today's sword wound, I don't know if I can use this plaster, Imperial Doctor, you can help me test the medicine first!" I say it seriously.

Hearing this, the imperial doctor instantly turned pale and said, "Your Majesty, this medicine is for the treatment of sword wounds, Your Majesty, you ......."

"Since the medicine is fine, why are you panicking? Someone, cut his arm, give him medicine! ”

"The emperor atoned for his sins! The minions knew they were wrong. The imperial physician immediately knelt down, "This ointment ......"

I'm grass, as I thought, this shit wants to kill me again.

I scolded: "I'll fuck your uncle, who told you to poison me?" Is it because of that bullshit book? ”

"Minister, minister can't say, please ask the emperor to give the minister death!"

Damn, another guy who doesn't want to confess the mastermind when he dies, I'm wondering where this mastermind is sacred, he actually has such a big ability, for this scripture, so many people can be mobilized to murder me, if Lao Tzu doesn't find out, I'm afraid there will be more than one luck.

"Take it down and torture it?" I gritted my teeth in anger, and the guards took him out.

After the imperial doctor left, I asked Wang Chengen if he had found the scriptures, and Wang Chengen told me that he had rummaged through the upper study, but he didn't find the bullshit scriptures.

I didn't find the scriptures, and now there are so many people trying to murder me, I feel that I am in danger and must leave immediately, so I asked him how the secret passage was going.

Wang Chengen said angrily: "It will take at least one day to return to the emperor." ”

Nima, hearing this, Lao Tzu's heart was cold, and he had to wait for a day, wouldn't Lao Tzu still be assassinated.

The old gay Wang Chengen saw my worries, so he said: "Your Majesty, the servants have mobilized all the guards to the Qianqing Palace to guard day and night, please rest assured that even if the old slave dies, the emperor will not let the emperor ......."

Hearing him say this, I was very moved, if he is a sound man, buddy, I will escape, I will definitely send him a few beautiful women to play, but unfortunately he is a eunuch.

I thought for a moment, since there was still one day to go, I had to make the most of this precious time.

On the one hand, I need to find the scriptures and investigate the masterminds behind the Assassins. On the other hand, it is necessary to do a good job of security work in advance for escape.

Speaking of security, the only person who can still believe a little now may only be Wu Sangui who is far away in Shanhaiguan.

But Wu Sangui can't be fully trusted, if you want to use him well and prevent him from rebelling, then you must let one person out.

Thinking of this, I immediately instructed Wang Chengen: "Old Wang, I will give you two tasks, the first one is that you continue to look for scriptures; Second, I was frightened just now, and I wanted to listen to music to suppress the shock, so you sent someone to send Wu Sangui and his father to Nanjing, and then brought the geisha Chen Yuanyuan to me to play music to suppress the shock! ”

Hearing me say that I was going to take Chen Yuanyuan into the palace, Wang Chengen and Shuang'er were stunned, feeling incredible.

I know what they are thinking, Chen Yuanyuan is a famous prostitute in Jiangnan, she has had affairs with many men, and she is also Wu Sangui's girl, I want to see her when the national crisis is at hand, it can't help but make people think that I, the emperor, are a little mediocre.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuanyuan is a dusty woman...... Wang Chengen couldn't go on, "I hope the emperor will put state affairs first!" ”

Nima, as I thought, this old gay misunderstood me.

But seriously, I really want to experience Chen Yuanyuan, who is recorded in the history books as "the voice of the world, the color of the world".

To put it bluntly, she was the most popular female star at that time, not only singing well, but also beautiful. Rattle!

"Lao Wang, you who don't have birds want to have birds, am I that kind of person? Hurry up and do what I want, there is no mistake! ”

Wang Chengen smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and then walked out obediently.
