Chapter 544: Surprise!
At dawn, Xue Shao had just fallen asleep for a while, and Wu Ming personally ran to Xue Shao's tent to wake him up.
"Childe, it's a big deal!"
Wu Ming has always been steady, and the big things he said when he broke in late at night must be extraordinary. Xue Shao was shocked and got up, "What's the matter?" ”
"Yang Siqiao went and returned, just waiting outside the tent!"
"Call him in!"
Xue Shao hurriedly changed his clothes, and said in his heart - it's broken, most likely because His Majesty the Emperor is about to die!
"Childe, please enter the palace quickly!" After Yang Siqiao came in, he didn't even care about the number of courtesies, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty only has the last breath left, and quickly announce that you will be summoned to the forbidden place - I am afraid that there is a dying will delivered to you!" ”
"Good!!"
Xue Shao didn't care about getting dressed neatly, his hair was scattered and he was wearing underwear, and he grabbed the Huadian embroidered clothes in his hand and ran out. Wu Ming hurriedly picked up the Taiyi Imperial Knife and belts, seals and other things for him, chased him up, and called Guo An and the twenty scouts to accompany him, and asked everyone to leave immediately to accompany the young marshal into the city and enter the palace!
Xue Shao was anxious, the emperor's dying death was too important, and it was very likely that it would be related to the future of himself and the entire Tang Dynasty. The Datang in front of him is completely different from the Datang in history. At least at this moment in history, Xue Shao is definitely not in charge of the army!
What does the future hold? Nobody knows!
Tonight may be a turning point in history!
……
Soon, Xue Shao and his entourage rushed towards Luoyang City at a gallop. In a hurry, Xue Shao didn't have time to get dressed, so he just put on his coat casually. When he arrived in front of Luoyang City, the guards of the city wanted to pass the seal, Xue Shao did not stop his horse in a hurry, but only took off the embroidered clothes that he was not wearing and threw them at them.
"Here's the proof!"
Before the words fell, Xue Shao's flying horse jumped over the deer-rejecting fence at the gate of the city, and rushed into the city like a whirlwind with more than 20 horsemen behind him. Leaving a team of city guards to look at the Huadian embroidered clothes, they were dumbfounded, and said-
"It must be Xue Shao! He was the only one in the court who was authorized by His Majesty to wear this discarded Huadian embroidered dress to the court or face the saint! ”
"Didn't he take it out of the city? Entering the palace in such a hurry tonight is not His Majesty xià......"
Soon, Xue Shao and his entourage had already run onto the Tianjin Bridge, and suddenly a rain of arrows shot head-on!
Xue Shao was suddenly shocked and reacted very quickly, and immediately turned over and jumped into Luoshui!
The arrow followed Xue Shao down, and the "puff puff" shot at the surface of the water with a shocking sound.
A qiē just happened between the lightning and flint, and after Xue Shao fell into the water, he felt a very painful pain in his back - he was hit by an arrow!
A fierce fight soon broke out on the bridge deck, and Yang Siqiao, Guo An and others had already come into contact with a group of killers who were ambushed in the bridge hole. Wu Ming jumped into the water as soon as he turned over, and immediately smelled a smell of blood, and his heart suddenly tightened - Gongzi was injured!!
Immediately after, several black-clad killers jumped into the water. Wu Ming took advantage of the moment when one of them had just fallen into the water, and cut his throat, and quickly grabbed the knife and fought with the others who fell into the water.
After Xue Shao was wounded, he dived and hid, unable to hear the movement on the bridge, but could hear the sharp sound of the splash. The current in Luoshui is relatively fast, but fortunately, Xue Shao has practiced armed swimming in the army, he held his breath and dived under the west pier of a bridge, holding it with both hands to avoid being swept away by the current.
It wasn't until he couldn't hold his breath anymore that Xue Shao cautiously slowly emerged out of the water under the cover of the bridge piers, and heard the sound of fierce fighting and screaming on the bridge deck, and then there was a sound of splashing water, and someone on the bridge shouted "The assassin jumped into the water and escaped"!
Xue Shao hid and was not discovered, and saw some torches lit up on the bridge, as if a large number of patrol soldiers were coming, and there was a lot of noise but there was no sound of killing.
"Young marshal? Where is the young marshal? It was Guo An's voice.
"Where is Master Wu?"
"I'm in the water, looking for Childe!"
"Quick, let's go down and find it together!"
Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, this assassination came and went quickly. The enemy is obviously very well prepared, all of them are very water-based, and even the back way to escape has already been thought out! …… Who could it be?
At this time, Xue Shao suddenly felt a burst of fatigue and dizziness, and his breath was a little urgent, and he hurriedly said loudly: "I'm here!" ”
"Hurry up, save the young marshal!!"
Soon, five or six scouts jumped into the water, thinking of a way to get Xue Shao onto the bridge. Xue Shao found that there were already more than a dozen bodies of black-clothed killers on and under the bridge.
Seeing that Xue Shao was wounded by an arrow in the back, everyone was shocked.
Wu Ming immediately examined Xue Shao's injuries and was taken aback - "The arrow wound is not deep, but it is poisonous!" ”
Xue Shao struggled to stay conscious, "Yes...... Snake venom! ”
I've been bitten by a snake in the jungle before, and the feeling is extremely similar!
"Suck the poisonous blood out quickly! ――”
Wu Ming and the others did not hesitate to hold Xue Shao down and stuff a piece of clothing into his mouth, and then pulled out the arrow in one go. Xue Shao's whole body was tense in pain, and he almost broke his teeth.
Guo An and others learned a lot of wilderness first aid methods from Xue Shao in Wenxi Mountain, and dealing with snake bites is a compulsory course, and they all carry some emergency antidote to injuries. After checking the wound for a while, Guo An hurriedly cut a cross between Xue Shao's wound with a dagger, and then sucked the blood poison with his mouth. Later, two or three other people followed up to suck blood, and when the new blood was already bright red, they applied emergency antidotes.
"This method can only be used for emergencies, and the right antidote must be found immediately!" Wu Ming said.
Xue Shao was already a little weak and dizzy, but he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Hurry up and let me go and let me enter the palace!" ”
"Childe ......"
"Violators will be killed!"
Wu Ming gritted his teeth, "Brothers, the young marshal must not move, otherwise the blood will speed up, and the snake venom will be easy to attack!" I'll wait to carry the young marshal into the palace and ask the imperial doctor in the palace to heal! ”
"Okay—"
Wu Ming and the others decisively lifted Xue Shao, and a group of patrolling soldiers across the bridge raised torches to lead the way, and the group rushed to the imperial city of Zihui Palace as if they were playing with their lives.
Xue Shao was covered in cold sweat and panting, and kept pinching himself to keep his mind clear. Guo An asked several people to take off their cloaks and cover Xue Shao, and then gave him medicine many times to finally have a little use, which made Xue Shao feel a little more relaxed.
finally entered the palace, and Xue Shao's appearance scared the guards guarding the palace gate a lot. Finally arrived at the Zhenguan Palace, and the thousands of horsemen guarding here were already preparing for battle with their knives out of their sheaths and arrows on their edges. Seeing Xue Shao's appearance, the thousands of horsemen were even more nervous, and a group of people rushed up to stop Xue Shao and his party, Guo An and the others were very annoyed, and the two people almost made a move. Fortunately, Yang Siqiao ran to the front to spread the way, and the guards of the thousand horsemen also recognized Xue Shao and the others, so they did not continue to stop them.
Looking at the winding upward Longwei Road, Xue Shao hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry me up!" ”
In the emperor's bedroom, there are already many people. Huo King Li Yuanliang and the Queen of Heaven knelt in front of Li Zhi's couch together, the crown prince Li Xian and the crown princess Wei knelt in front of the couch with their young son Huang Taisun, and the one kneeling beside the prince was Pei Yan, the servant. King Li Dan and his wife also came today, and only Princess Taiping was sitting in the room because she was pregnant, but there was a screen in the middle.
"Your Majesty, is there anything else you have to explain?" Huo Wang Li Yuanliang asked Li Zhi in a low voice.
Li Zhi was lying on his back with his eyes closed, already taking in more air and less breathing, and finally opened his mouth, but only made a series of confused sounds.
Wu Zetian has not cried in public for many years, and today in front of these royal relatives and children, she is already crying in tears.
"Majesty, what do you want to say?" Li Yuanliang leaned his ear close to Li Zhi, but he still couldn't hear what was muttering in the emperor's mouth.
Li Zhi gave up talking, turned his neck with difficulty, and looked at the door.
"Are you looking forward to someone coming?" Huo Wang Li Yuanliang asked.
Li Zhi opened his eyes leisurely.
Wu Zetian hurriedly said: "Why hasn't Xue Shao come yet?" Hurry up and send someone to urge! ”
Li Yuanliang was taken aback, "Xue Shao?!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Siqiao almost threw himself in, "Qiqi Second Sage, the horse has arrived!" ”
"Why don't you call him in?!" Wu Zetian's voice was a little impatient.
Princess Taiping suddenly felt bad and stood up on the spot.
Wu Ming, Guo An and other four people carried Xue Shao, who was wrapped in several cloaks, into the dormitory.
Everyone was shocked, and even Li Zhi, who was dying, widened his eyes.
"How so?!" Wu Zetian asked in shock.
"Assassin!" Wu Ming replied briefly.
"The minister is late...... Death penalty! Xue Shao fell to the ground.
"Xue Lang!!" Princess Taiping screamed loudly, and Linlang hurriedly stopped her and didn't let her rush out.
"Leave me alone!" Xue Shao climbed a few steps forward with difficulty, "Your Majesty, the minister is here!" …… If you have anything to say, just tell me quickly! ”
Li Zhi's expression became very shocked, he opened his mouth wide and exhaled desperately, raised a hand, and stretched out to Xue Shao with a trembling hand.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine will definitely find out about this matter and severely punish the murderer!" Wu Zetian said urgently.
Li Zhi turned a deaf ear to Wu Zetian's words, glared at Xue Shao with a very urgent expression, and still stretched out his hand to him.
"Come on!" Wu Zetian hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xue Shao, and almost dragged him to Li Zhi's couch. Li Zhi desperately opened his hand, Wu Zetian understood, and put Xue Shao's hand in Li Zhi's palm.
Li Zhi's eyes widened when he was dying, his face was gray and dead, he kept opening his mouth and breathing, and the sound in his throat was like the bellows of an iron furnace being pulled.
Then, his hand actually held Xue Shao like an iron tong, and even Xue Shao, who had great strength, felt pain!
Xue Shao was shocked in his heart, and everyone also understood that the emperor had returned to the light!
At this time, Li Zhi's whole body seemed to be stiff and about to sit up, Wu Zetian cried out loud and hurriedly came to help, Li Zhi's other hand suddenly grabbed Wu Zetian's right wrist tightly, and he was in his throat with a violent and strange sound, and finally held back a sentence-
"The queen of heaven is adjudicated, serving in the middle of the life, taking care of the horse's palm, and assisting the new monarch! …… The Mandate of Heaven artifact is not blasphemous! ”
With a "plop", Li Zhi fell down like a string that had been suddenly bandaged.
"Majesty!!" A roar of screams and cries rang out.
At the same time, there was a "plop" sound, and Xue Shao also fell.
