Chapter 60: The Palace Gate
The person who came was not good, Cai Xinghai pushed Zhang Youcai away, prepared to fight, and asked: "Your Excellency, where is the master, if you dare to stop the driver, you will report your name." ”
The figure waited for a while, "Huafu Sect Leader Gui Yuehua." ”
Cai Xinghai's heart sank, he had heard of this name, this person was not an ordinary swordsman, but a well-known master.
"Ghost Hand Gui Yuehua." Cai Xinghai sighed, "Your Excellency is a famous chivalrous warrior, how can you also do the act of plotting against the monarch?" ”
"Some people are willing to be the minions of the faint king, and naturally there are people who do the right thing for the sky, and your Excellency is not like an ordinary eunuch, why should you work for the faint king?"
"Your Majesty is not a faint king." Zhang Youcai argued loudly.
Under the moonlight, Han Ruzi saw Gui Yuehua's general appearance, it was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a medium build, a slightly pale face, and a sparse beard, more like a down-and-out prince, rather than a knight with strong martial arts, and not worthy of the title of "ghost hand".
Gui Yuehua took a step forward, "What about Your Majesty's bodyguards?" How long will you have to hide in the shadows? ”
Han Ruzi held the hilt of his sword and asked, "Junyang Hou sent you?" ”
His Majesty asked knowingly. Please come back to the palace with me, or else I will be ordered not to take the living emperor with me, but also to the dead emperor. ”
"Is Junyang Hou loyal to the Cui family or Chun Yuxiao?"
Gui Yuehua took another step, "It doesn't matter. ”
"It's very important, Chun Yuxiao took advantage of the Cui family, and soon he will betray the Cui family, if Junyang Hou ......"
Gui Yuehua smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't want to persuade me to be ungrateful, right?" ”
As the last word came out, Guiyuehua's figure flickered and pounced on the emperor.
Cai Xinghai swung his knife to block it, and as soon as the short knife moved, his chest was hit by a fist, and he screamed, and his fat body flew out upside down.
Zhang Youcai was shocked, but he didn't have time to participate in the war.
Gui Yuehua punched Cai Xinghai away, the speed did not decrease at all, and in the blink of an eye, he reached in front of the emperor, reached out and grabbed the palm of the sword holder, looked up at the sword to the moon, and praised: "It is worthy of being a sword in the palace." ”
Han Ruzi didn't even have a chance to move, he was angry in his heart, and said sharply: "Let go of me." ”
"Offended, Your Majesty." Gui Yuehua made a cat waist, carried the emperor horizontally on her shoulder, grabbed her leg with one hand, and still held the hand holding the sword with the other, and strode in the direction of the inner palace.
Zhang Youcai reacted, shouted "let go of Your Majesty", lowered his head and rushed over, ran seven or eight steps without hitting anything, stopped looking, and was stunned to find that Gui Yuehua was already more than a dozen steps away, getting farther and farther away.
"Come to the rescue! It doesn't matter if you are a human or a ghost, come and rescue the driver, and ...... later" Zhang Youcai didn't dare to continue.
Han Ruzi, who was carried on his shoulder, was ashamed and angry, struggling hard, but he felt numb all over his body, and he couldn't use his strength, his body seemed to be holding a turbid breath, stagnant and immovable, he had already formed a habit and unconsciously used the method of reverse breathing, but it didn't have much effect.
"Huh?" Gui Yuehua was slightly surprised, but the emperor was still in his hands, so he didn't care too much.
Gui Yuehua quickly walked to the intersection, if it was just one person, he was sure to jump on the palace wall and carry the emperor, he didn't dare to be careless, so he turned north, to meet the swordsman who answered him.
The sneak attack came silently.
Gui Yuehua had already prepared, the reason why he came alone to catch the emperor was to lure out the secret master. In the narration of the surviving swordsmen, there were dozens of ambushers, but Gui Yuehua was an old Jianghu, and she guessed that there was only one person on the other side at that time, the reason was very simple, with such a master, one or two more, the swordsmen would be wiped out.
Gui Yuehua is not only a "ghost hand", but also a "ghost foot", one moment is still striding forward, the next moment he has already flown up a kick, kicking back the flying hidden weapon, at the same time, put the emperor down easily, and the whole person jumped to the dark corner.
Han Ruzi's whole body was tingling, and he finally gained a foothold after swaying around for a while, looking at the corner of the wall, and after a while, he saw two blurred figures fighting, extremely fast, but the sound was extremely small, mixed with the wind howling, almost inaudible.
"Ah......h
Han Ruzi didn't know why, he looked left and right, and saw a figure faintly in the north, but he couldn't find the other.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Youcai caught up breathlessly, didn't know what was going on, and asked in surprise, "Where is Gui Yuehua?" ”
He ...... It seems to be injured. ”
"How so?" Zhang Youcai was even more surprised, lowered his voice and said, "It's that one again...... Does the ghost save the driver? ”
"Leave him alone, go see Cai Xinghai." Han Ruzi became more and more convinced that the person who secretly helped her must be Meng E, but he didn't understand why she was hidden.
The two turned around and ran back, Han Ruzi could still feel a tingling at the beginning, and after running more than a dozen steps, his body returned to normal.
Cai Xinghai was strong and strong, vomited a mouthful of blood, but did not die, he was limping towards the emperor, and as soon as he saw him, he was about to kneel down and plead guilty, Han Ruzi supported him, "Hurry up and get out of here." ”
Zhang Youcai held Cai Xinghai's other arm, and the three of them walked eastward, Cai Xinghai tried to persuade the emperor to leave him behind, but the emperor just urged him to leave quickly.
There are more and more forks in the road, Cai Xinghai only knows the general location of the Taimiao, and does not recognize the specific path, in order to avoid the pursuers, he frequently turns around, and his heart is becoming more and more anxious.
Before they knew how many turns they had turned, the three of them ran into a group of city patrol guards head-on.
There was a lot of turmoil in the inner palace, but the outside maintained a calm on the surface, all the rules have not changed, the inspection still has to be inspected, and Han Ruzi met such a team.
The emperor and the others were surprised, and the other party was surprised, there were very few people in this area even during the day, and it was really unbelievable that three big living people suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.
"Who?" One person asked, and more than a dozen soldiers hula scattered, pointing their spears at the "palace intruder".
Cai Xinghai was very happy, as long as it wasn't for those swordsmen, things would be much easier, and immediately said: "Put down the weapons, we are from the palace." ”
Cai Xinghai was quite calm and did not immediately say the word "emperor".
The soldiers were puzzled, and although they did not withdraw their weapons, they did not attack immediately.
"Who are you? Why did the people in the palace run outside? Don't know about the curfew? Said the officer who took the lead.
"Don't ask so much, take us to the supervisor on duty immediately." Cai Xinghai said sternly.
The soldiers were becoming more and more uncertain, although it was dark, they could still recognize the clothes of the two eunuchs, as for the other person's outfit, they couldn't see it clearly, since they were holding the fat eunuch, they must also be the little eunuchs in the palace.
The officer turned to a soldier and said, "Light the lamp." ”
The palace guards usually don't light up their lights when they make their rounds, but they carry lanterns and flints that can be lit at any time.
"Don't be on time!" Cai Xinghai shouted, not wanting a group of ordinary soldiers to recognize the emperor.
The identity of the eunuch and the condescending tone calmed down the soldiers opposite, and the officer raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to light the lamp for the time being, "Okay, follow me to meet the new Zhonglang General." ”
Han Ruzi was shocked when he heard this, "Is it Junyang Hou Huabin?" ”
"It's so bold, you dare to call adults by their names, you, who are you?" The officer's confidence gradually faded, and he became more and more uncertain about the origin of these three people.
Cai Xinghai was also shocked, Gui Yuehua of Huafu had just kidnapped the emperor, and going to see the Marquis of Junyang was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, "Who is the deputy general on duty?" Take us to him first. ”
"Gongmen Lang Liu Kunsheng Lord Liu is not far from here, why don't you go see him first?" The officer even softened his tone, anyway, he was not qualified to go directly to General Zhonglang, so it was better to send these three to Gongmen Lang.
"Okay." Han Ruzi agreed that there were only a few ministers involved in the rebellion plan of the imperial concubine and others, and as long as he saw a loyal minister, things would be much easier.
The soldiers turned around, protected the three "eunuchs" in the middle, and took them to see their bosses, Cai Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Youcai frequently went out to look backwards, always afraid that the swordsmen would catch up again.
Gongmen Lang is not a big official, but the responsibility is very heavy, and it is a felony to make a small mistake in the area under management, Liu Kunsheng has long been uneasy, and he feels that Zhonglang will be replaced too strangely during the day, as soon as he heard that three eunuchs appeared inexplicably near the East Palace, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately went out of the house to check.
He saw the unusual teenager at a glance.
The ordinary soldiers guarding the palace may never see the emperor and concubines in their lives, Liu Kunsheng has seen it a few times, and that was during the reign of Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan, so he didn't recognize today, but he could accurately identify the emperor's clothes in the dark night.
"You ......" Liu Kunsheng is in his fifties, his health is not very good, and he was frightened and sat down on the ground all of a sudden.
Cai Xinghai ignored the pain in his feet, stepped forward in a few steps, helped Liu Kunsheng up, and said in a low voice: "Go in and talk." ”
Liu Kunsheng nodded again and again, invited the three "eunuchs" into the house, and said sternly to the soldiers escorting: "Stay here, no one is allowed to leave." ”
Everyone listened to the order, but they inevitably whispered earnestly, and finally unanimously came to the conclusion that the uninhabited East Palace was haunted again.
There were still a few people in the room on duty, all of whom were kicked out by Liu Kunsheng, and then turned around to take a closer look, and after a while, there was no doubt in his heart, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "Humble Liu Kunsheng knocks to see Your Majesty." ”
The room was very simple, only a bed and a few stools, and there was an oil lamp on the table, Han Ruzi did not sit, holding the Taizu sword in both hands, and said to Liu Kunsheng: "I want to leave the palace, can you help?" ”
Liu Kunsheng raised his head, "This...... Your Majesty's departure from the palace is a big event, and you can't do it in a lowly or lowly position......"
"Can't the emperor call the shots?" Han Ruzi was anxious, but his face was not revealed, "Marquis Junyang rebelled, his holy decree is fake, and he is not qualified to serve as a Zhonglang general at all." ”
Liu Kunsheng had a premonition, and when he heard the emperor tell the truth in person, he was still taken aback, thought for a while, and asked, "Is Your Majesty going out of the palace to see anyone?" ”
"I want to see the ministers outside." What Han Ruzi wanted to find was Prime Minister Yin harmless, but he didn't say it.
"Something happened in the palace?"
"The Queen Mother was kidnapped by traitors, and I want to gather my ministers to rescue her." Han Ruzi knew that many ministers were loyal to the Queen Mother.
Liu Kunsheng was heartbroken, and said: "In this case, there is no need to go to the ministers outside, Your Majesty has already left the palace, and you can personally remove Junyang Hou Huabin from his official position. ”
Han Ruzi felt that this was also a solution, and was considering it, when a soldier outside announced loudly: "General Hua has arrived!" ”
