Chapter 874: The Assassin Strikes
In the Mandarin Palace, it is quiet and warm!
In the bedroom, on the show bed, Murong Mengfei pillowed her head on Lin Feng's arm, like a lazy cat, shrunk in Lin Feng's arms, her pretty face was flushed, and a sweet smile was hooked on the corner of her mouth.
After some intimacy, Lin Feng seemed to be full of delicious food, satisfied, and quietly fell asleep with the beautiful woman in his arms.
In the sky, the slight moonlight, through the screen window, shines on the floor of the bedroom, forming a reflection, like a baby's palm, gently caressing the handsome men and women in the show bed.
The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
However, in his sleep, Lin Feng suddenly sat up from the show's bed, and in the dim bedroom, he listened attentively, and soon, anger rose in his face.
I vaguely heard the sound of drums shouting and killing outside the dormitory, and I couldn't help it, and subconsciously reached out to grab the horse chopping knife next to me, but it touched Murong Mengfei's forehead.
The perennial career of fighting horses has made his sleep very shallow, and in the battlefield, he will be awakened at any time if there is any wind and grass.
Wenhua Hall is not far from Fengming Palace, and the sound of shouting and killing and gongs and drums outside comes and goes, a battlefield general, it is impossible for him not to hear the messy sound outside.
At this moment, Murong Mengfei, who was awakened, was not awakened by the shouts of killing outside, but because Lin Feng's hand touched her forehead.
Fang was intimate with Lin Feng, she only felt comfortable that she couldn't even lift a trace of strength, and after bathing, she fell asleep with Lin Feng in her arms.
In the dim drapery, Murong Mengfei looked at Lin Feng, who was close at hand, with a solemn expression, and wanted to ask, but suddenly heard the shouts of killing outside, and couldn't help but have a sudden change in expression.
The body couldn't help but lean towards Lin Feng's side, grabbing his arm tightly, and the flushing in his pretty face quickly receded, replaced by a pale body, looking very panicked inside.
Frightened, he asked: "Xianggong, outside, in the palace, how can there be shouts of killing?" ”
Her question was also Lin Feng's inner doubt, the Yan Palace was heavily guarded, and it could be said that it was not leaky, and on weekdays, not even a fly could fly in.
At this time, in the Yan Palace, which has always been calm, how can there be a shout of killing?
For a while, many speculations appeared in Lin Feng's mind.
In the end, I only felt that there were two possibilities, or, someone in Yanjing City suddenly rebelled and quietly attacked the palace, but this possibility is very small.
Or, there are killers or assassins who break through the palace defenses and forcibly break into the Yan Palace, intending to assassinate.
Two guesses, the latter is more likely!
Lin Feng didn't dare to delay, hurriedly changed his clothes, and at the same time told Murong Mengfei to change his clothes, no matter what the intention of the person who came to break into the Yan Palace, something happened in the palace, and it could cause accidental casualties at any time.
In the Yan Palace, there are many concubines and princesses, no matter who has an accident, it will be a disaster for him.
Dressed neatly in the dark, Lin Feng walked quickly outside the dormitory, but realized that there was still Murong Mengfei beside him, turned around suddenly, sat on the edge of the show bed, grabbed Murong Mengfei's arm, and advised: "Don't leave, there will be heavy guards outside, and when the matter is resolved, I will come back as soon as possible." ”
Murong Qiyan nodded, got up and half-knelt in the bed, kissed the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, and reminded: "Xianggong pay attention to safety!" ”
Speaking from herself, in the palace, there was a sudden shout of killing, and she was indeed a little panicked in her heart. However, thinking of being in the palace, there is a post at three steps outside the dormitory, and a sentry at five steps, which is closely guarded.
Lin Feng stayed in the Wenhua Hall tonight, the guards became more and more tight, if the assassins outside wanted to kill them, it would be difficult to reach the sky, on the contrary, Lin Feng would be in danger when he left the palace.
Lin Feng patted Murong Mengfei's palm, nodded, his expression was firm, and he turned around and walked outside the bedroom.
Pushing open the door of the bedroom, Cao Aman was wandering back and forth outside, followed by a hundred guards, all of them looking anxious.
Seeing Lin Feng appear, Cao Aman hurriedly put away the hammer in his hand and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, an assassin has broken into the palace!" ”
"Where?" Lin Feng asked, hearing that it was just an assassin, not a rebellion in Yanjing City as he imagined, Lin Feng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not a rebellion in the capital, and a few assassins alone can't set off any monstrous waves!
At present, what he cares about most in his heart is still the concubines and children in the palace, and they must not have accidents.
Cao Aman raised the sledgehammer, pointed in the direction of Fengming Palace, and said categorically: "The direction of Fengming Palace!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng's complexion changed suddenly, and his expression that had just relaxed became serious again, cold, mixed with monstrous killing intent, and he couldn't help but scold, "Bastard, are they looking for death?" ”
There are Han Xuejian and the crown prince living in Fengming Palace, and the other party dares to attack Fengming Palace. didn't dare to have any delay, took Cao Aman, and the guards quickly towards the direction of Fengming Palace.
Next to him, Cao Aman comforted: "Your Majesty, General Lei led his troops to go as soon as possible, and Luo Da also rushed away in a short time, the queen and the crown prince will definitely be safe and sound!" ”
Lin Feng didn't say anything, his thoughts were tense, and he secretly prayed in his heart!
However, he soon understood one thing, Fengming Palace was the location of the queen and the prince, and the assassin was bold, but the original intention was definitely not the queen and the prince, and the other party was afraid that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
Most of the people who want to kill are himself.
The more he thought about Lin Feng, the more angry he became, his fists clenched, the green tendons in his hands skyrocketed, and the monstrous killing intent spread out like a flood.
Under the protection of Cao Aman and his personal guards, he walked forward quickly, and arrived at Fengming Palace in half a pillar of incense time.
At this moment, he didn't bother with the assassins outside at all, but instead went directly into Han Xuejian's bedroom, and needed to make sure that Han Xuejian and the prince were safe as soon as possible.
In the bedroom, the nurse led the prince in the palace, and the four or five-year-old prince was hiding in Han Xuejian's arms.
Walking into the bedroom and seeing Han Xuejian and the crown prince both there, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh often, and asked, "Xue'er, Chaoyang, are you okay?" ”
Han Xuejian had a faint look of worry on her face, at present, she didn't know what was going on outside, and the personal palace maid asked the guards outside the dormitory, and the other party was waiting for her, and she didn't know.
She couldn't help but worry, but fortunately, at the moment of crisis, Lin Feng appeared in person, which made her inner worry a little less.
Han Xuejian didn't say anything, but the prince got up from Han Xuejian's arms, took two quick steps, threw himself into Lin Feng's arms, and said in a milky voice: "Father, Chaoyang is afraid!" ”
Lin Feng squatted down and picked up the child, without comfort, just stroked the other party's back, took two steps forward, the three of them hugged each other, put their heads on Lin Chaoyang's ear, and said softly: "Chaoyang, you are a man, in danger, you should protect your mother, at this time, stay by your mother's side, protect her, and my father will come back immediately!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Chaoyang showed a smile on his immature face, clenched his small fists, waved them back and forth, and shouted: "Well, Chaoyang wants to protect the queen mother!" ”
Lin Feng gave the child to Han Xuejian under the kiss of Lin Chaoyang's forehead, Lin Feng turned around and left directly, walked outside the dormitory, and said to the guards beside him in a stern voice: "Protect the queen and the prince, in addition, quickly notify the palace guards to protect them closely to prevent people from attacking the west!" ”
At present, it is not known how many assassins have broken into the palace, and it is not clear whether the assassins have other secret secrets.
The guards didn't dare to hesitate, received the order, and hurriedly led the two to leave.
At this time, Lin Feng did not stay outside the dormitory, he wanted to see who it was, eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, daring to break into the Yan Palace at night and set off a killing in the Yan Palace.
Under the protection of Cao Aman and the guards, Lin Feng arrived outside the Fengming Palace, at this moment, outside the Fengming Palace, there was a mess, shouting and killing one after another, Lei Jieying and Luo Da were leading the guards and Lin Feng's personal guards respectively to quickly eliminate the assassins.
On the ground, there were many assassin corpses lying on the ground, and two more were seriously injured, lying on the ground, trampled on their bodies from time to time, and let out screams of pain.
After careful observation, Lin Feng noticed that the Yan army in front of him was numerous, but it didn't seem to have much advantage, on the contrary, there were constantly casualties, and there were more casualties.
After thinking about it, he couldn't guess the origin of the other party, but there was one thing, he knew very well that this group of killers was by no means ordinary court killers, but on the contrary, it might come from among the ranger swordsmen.
Because, these people are very strong in combat, even the guards around him, the most powerful warriors selected from the Great Yan Army, can not fight against one person alone, sometimes, it takes two or three people to suppress one person in front of him, and if you want to kill four or five people.
Looking at the north, whether it was the Zhao State, the Liang State, the Zheng State, the Jin State, or the current Chen State, the Song State, or the imperial court, there was absolutely no killer or assassin with such strength.
In the south, he had only come into contact with the killers and assassins of the Chu State, and the other party could be easily eliminated by the ordinary guards in Yanjing City, with an absolute advantage in numbers, indicating that these people were not very strong.
As the overlord of the south, the strength of the killer assassins raised by the court is limited, so it can be seen that the remaining vassal states in the south, the killer assassins are afraid that they will not be very strong.
Therefore, he suspected that this group of people might come from the hundred schools of princes, the power hidden in the vassal states.
After all, through the various performances at this moment, the probability that the other party is a chivalrous man is very high.
Without determining the identity of the other party, Lin Feng did not hesitate at all, and said to Cao Aman beside him: "Aman, if you capture three people alive, I must know the identity of the other party?" ”
This group of people is too sharp, and he doesn't know the specific identity of the other party, he is uneasy in his heart, worried that it will bury a big trouble, not to mention, if he really guesses according to his own guess, this group of people is from the rangers and swordsmen, and next, in the Yan Palace, there may be assassinations.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand the identity of the other party, if it is really from the hundred schools of thought, he does not mind using the power of the state to directly uproot the hundred schools of thought, and strive to completely remove the hidden dangers once and for all.
Hearing this, Cao Aman nodded and told the guards beside him: "To protect the emperor's safety, you must not let the assassins approach!" ”
With that, he personally carried the sledgehammer and strode towards the center of the Assassins.
If it wasn't for the need to protect Lin Feng's safety before, when the assassin came, he would have grabbed the sledgehammer and killed him.
