Chapter 330: An Unusual Night
Hua Bin felt that she was really old, thinking back to the fresh clothes and angry horses when she was young, and she didn't feel anything, it was like a legend that happened to others, and it was a stupid legend, Junyang Hou many years ago didn't know that he was wasting time and energy.

Drinking a glass of wine, he sighed, and a smile appeared on the corner of Hua Bin's mouth, "But that's it." He said, "But that's it." He said again.
It was already dark outside, and a small number of soldiers in the honor guard camp rested early, and Hua Bin poured himself a drink, feeling calm, and vaguely felt like a master of the world who saw through the warmth and coldness of people.
But Jincheng is by no means "out of the world".
Someone pushed open the door uninvited, saw Hua Bin, took a few steps forward, knelt down, and shouted excitedly: "Father." ”
Hua Bin shook her head gently, after all, she is not a master in the world, she is inextricably linked with this world, and the young man in front of her is the most important one.
"You shouldn't have come."
"My father was killed, and the heroes of the world came to the rescue, how could I stay out of the matter?" The Flower Tiger King became more and more excited, and looked up carefully, "I didn't tell my father before, because I didn't want my father to worry, we can leave Jincheng tonight, it doesn't matter." ”
Hua Bin really wants to remind her son that there has never been a so-called "heroes in the world", Jianghu is a general term, including all kinds of people, etc., heroes have different intentions, and they can never "get together" to do one thing, but when they think that they have been making the same mistakes for decades, they don't want to talk more.
"How's it going?"
"It's all right, the second watch will enter the palace in one moment, if everything goes well, you can come out in a quarter of an hour, the third watch will go out of the city on time, and someone will answer ten miles outside the city, and it will be arranged."
Hua Bin nodded.
"Is that woman credible?" The Flower Tiger King couldn't help but ask.
"She is a descendant of Chen Qi, and there is Yishi Island to protect her, and she poisoned the emperor with her own hands, which has been confirmed......" Having said that, Hua Bin didn't believe Meng E, and after seeing his son Hua Hu Wang, he felt that it was right to be more cautious, "Tonight's plan is to be postponed." ”
"But ......," the Tiger King was startled.
"Just postpone it for a little while, three quarters of an hour."
"People who can be welcomed outside the city ......"
"It's okay to keep them waiting." Hua Bin always had a plan in his head, even if his son didn't show up, he would implement it, "Let others explore the way for us first, and by the way, also test whether Meng E is credible." If something happens, you leave immediately and never come back to me. ”
"Father's ......"
Hua Bin's expression became stern, "Our father and son can't be trapped here at the same time, after leaving the city, let the Huns come to attack the city immediately, and there will be time to save my life, if you hesitate for a while, we won't survive tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes." The Tiger King had no choice but to agree.
"Go ahead. If you can't assassinate the emperor, you can send someone to kill the king of the East China Sea, so you can give the Huns a little explanation, they may not know about the battle between the two brothers, and they should be very happy when they hear that it is the emperor's younger brother. ”
"Yes." The Tiger King used to be friends with the King of the East Sea, but he didn't argue with him at this time, got up and exited the room, hurried out of the guard camp, and joined several companions on the street, who lived nearby, and could observe the palace of the king and the guard camp.
There was no ambush around, and it seemed that the Emperor had no idea what was going to happen tonight.
Han Ruzi really didn't know much, because Meng E couldn't ask about the whole plan, she only knew one thing: someone would come to take the emperor's head tonight, and then escape from Jincheng with the head and Hua Bin overnight.
Han Ruzi was a little puzzled by this plan, "Since the Jianghu people who rescued Hua Bin want to poison me, why do they want to take my head?" ”
"Poisoning was their original plan, the original intention was to create chaos and take the opportunity to save Hua Bin, but I didn't expect the Huns to surround Jincheng, and they colluded with the Huns, and they had to take His Majesty's head out of the city in order to get the Huns' response."
"Hey, don't the Huns want to use me to lure reinforcements from all over the world?"
"I don't know, I suspect that there are also internal divisions among the Huns, some people want to besiege but not attack, and some people want to fight quickly."
Meng E's guess has some truth, the Eastern and Western Xiongnu only merged last year, and it is normal for internal disputes to exist, Han Ruzi hopes that Qiao Wanfu, the envoy who has left the city, can find the right negotiation partner.
As the night deepened, Meng E said, "It's time for me to pick up the assassins, Your Majesty be careful." ”
Han Ruzi snorted, and Meng E turned around and walked out of the house.
Meng E once proposed to Hua Bin that she "assassinate" the emperor, Hua Bin did not agree, she must send the assassin herself, Meng E only needs to introduce the assassin into the emperor's bedroom, as for the specific time he did not disclose, Meng E has to stay at the joint location all night.
It is difficult to gain the trust of Huabin, and it is even more difficult to lure out those Jianghu people who are hiding in the city.
Han Ruzi sat by the window, thinking not about the upcoming assassin, but about Da Shan Yu, who didn't know where he was.
The door opened, and Wang He, the leader of the guards, quietly walked in and whispered: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, for the sake of safety, is Your Majesty ......?"
"I'm going to stay here."
Wang He had no choice but to say: "I will stay with Your Majesty, and the people outside will do it when I give a signal." ”
"Hmm." Han Ruzi really needed a guard by his side.
There was no light in the room, and the two sat and stood in the dark, and after a while, Han Ruzi asked a little curiously, "What do the guards use to send signals?" ”
"A special porcelain whistle." Wang He replied immediately.
"I used a porcelain whistle when I was a kid." Han Ruzi smiled.
Wang He was surprised by the emperor's composure, "Our whistle is special, it can make different sounds, and the bird call chosen tonight can only be heard by the guards. ”
"Not bad." Han Ruzi pointed to the window paper, "How should I monitor the situation on the other side?" ”
Wang He stepped forward, "Your Majesty let me go." ”
Han Ruzi got up and stepped aside, Wang He took out a dagger, held it with both hands, lightly drew a circle on the window paper, dug out a small round hole, immediately put away the dagger, and took a few steps back, "Your Majesty, please go back." ”
Han Ruzi sat back on the stool, close to the window, one eye just aimed at the small hole in the window paper, and could see the bedroom diagonally opposite, his bedroom, which was also where the assassin was going.
"How do you monitor?" Han Ruzi asked.
"I'm standing at the door."
"You do your own thing, you don't have to stay by my side all the time."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang He retreated to the door, one eye peeking out, the other still glancing at the emperor from time to time, in the night, the emperor's figure was only blurred, like a large vase placed by the window.
For Wang He, the capture of the Assassins was secondary, and the most important duty was to protect the emperor's safety.
The emperor trusted the female guard too much, which made Wang He deeply disturbed.
Time passed little by little, neither of them spoke, quietly observing the opposite side, the courtyard was empty, and occasionally there were patrolling guards passing by, and they also entered and exited very quickly, without stopping.
Nearly two watches, Liu Jie, the central eunuch, walked out of the room, took a eunuch with a lantern, and checked around, he was a conscientious person, and he was not sure if he didn't look around.
He almost ruined the emperor's plans.
Han Ruzi secretly left the bedroom before dark and hid in an uninhabited room in the East Wing, Zhang Youcai knew, but Liu Jie didn't know that he was paid to get something at that time, and handed it to Zhang Youcai after he came back.
Han Ruzi didn't know that the Central Supervisory Committee was so responsible, Liu Jie had to check every room, and if someone lived in it, he had to latch it from the inside, and if no one lived in it, he had to push it away and take a look.
The two eunuchs got closer and closer, Wang He didn't know what to do, Han Ruzi didn't want to scare Liu Jie, stood up, walked to the door in a few steps, stood against the wall, and Wang He stood on the other side.
Liu Jie pushed open the door, and another eunuch reached in with a lantern and illuminated half of the room.
Liu Jie stood at the door and watched, closed the door, and continued to check the other rooms.
Wang He breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's choice was actually very simple, and the process of avoiding Liu Jie was also risk-free, but just because he was the emperor, things were very different, and Wang He felt more and more that this emperor was extraordinary.
Han Ruzi sat back on the stool and continued to watch through the window.
Liu Jie's room was next door to the emperor's bedroom, and after checking around, he went back to his room and fell asleep, this night was normal for him.
Han Ruzi has been sleeping these days, but he is not sleepy, he just feels bored, but fortunately, he didn't wait too long, and the assassin finally appeared.
To Han Ruzi's surprise, the assassin was not brought in by Meng E from outside, but walked out of a room in the west wing, stood under the porch and watched for a while, and quietly walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
Although the moonlight was faint, Han Ruzi could still recognize that it was Zhang Qinyan.
According to Meng E's understanding, Zhang's father and daughter are not in the same group as Hua Bin, and they have another purpose for staying with the emperor, and it is a long-term purpose, and it is not a matter of time.
Zhang Qinyan suddenly appeared on this night, did she want to seduce the emperor, or was she persuaded by Hua Bin to assassinate the emperor?
Han Ruzi didn't know the answer, and it was estimated that Meng E didn't know either, she was waiting for another assassin outside the mansion, and she didn't know what was happening in the mansion at all.
Wang He didn't want to do so much, anyone was suspicious in his eyes, so he put the porcelain whistle to his mouth, and as long as the qin girl pushed the door in, he blew the whistle and took the assassin with his personal stolen goods.
"Wait." Han Ruzi said in a very low voice.
"Huh?" Wang He exhaled the breath he was holding.
"This is a temptation, the real assassin has not yet arrived." Han Ruzi said with certainty.
Wang He was slightly stunned, "As soon as she enters, she will find that His Majesty is not there......"
Han Ruzi was silent for a while, and said, "There is a person on the bed, she may not be able to tell the truth from the fake." ”
Wang He was stunned again, it turned out that the emperor's preparation was more adequate than he imagined, and there was one sentence he didn't ask, if the qin girl was an assassin, the person who was lying on the emperor's bed now would be a substitute for the dead ghost.
Wang He didn't care, Han Ruzi cared a little, but he had to take this risk, tonight he not only had to catch the assassin, but also send Deng Cui out of the city, these two things were closely related.
Zhang Qinyan, who was diagonally opposite, stopped in front of the door of the emperor's bedroom, Han Ruzi couldn't see what she was doing, but the experienced Wang He could roughly guess it, and said in the same very low voice: "She is spraying drugs into the house, how can she have such a thing?" ”
Han Ruzi could guess who she got it from, Hua Bin was an old fox who used Zhang Qinyan to test the trap.
Han Ruzi sneered silently, he didn't see Hua Bin as an opponent at all, if it wasn't for sending Deng Cui away, he wouldn't even bother to set up an ambush.
Zhang Qinyan slipped into the emperor's bedroom, Wang He's eyes stared unblinking, but Han Ruzi had already turned his gaze, and he was still thinking about Da Shan Yu. (To be continued.) )
