Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Attack 2.0 (Part II)
PS: Our book is on the shelves on Friday. But no matter what the results are, I'll keep writing. I feel that my enthusiasm for creation has been worn off, and my future is a little uncertain, and this may be my last non-assembly line work.
The jujube stick smashed down quickly, bringing out a whirring sound.
A heart-wrenching cry followed, but Corning immediately recognized that the voice was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhang Cha touched the back that was hit by someone, took a few steps back, and exchanged the distance for time to make the pain disappear partially.
And the person who attacked him, dressed in neat eunuch clothes and holding a burning stick, stood in front of the crown prince Zhu Changluo. Kang Ning thought about it, this person was Han Benyong.
Behind him, the old eunuch Wang An picked up the weak Zhu Changluo and walked towards the hall tremblingly.
Seeing that his target was about to leave the attack range and hide in a safer place, how could Zhang Cha condone the return of his prey and add trouble to his next attack.
So, even if the pain in his back hadn't been resolved much, he decided to launch a crazy attack.
So, Zhang Cha rushed forward in three or two steps. Han Ben on the other side is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Wielding a burning stick, he rushed up.
The two sticks collided in the air with a dull sound. This is a contest of power between the two.
However, the difference in equipment between the two cannot be ignored.
The jujube stick in Zhang Cha's hand was obviously harder, and after the impact, it had already caused cracks in the burning stick in the opponent's hand.
Han Benyong could judge the changes in the weapon in his hand from the feel, but he had no choice.
He is one of the few people in this Ciqing Palace who has combat effectiveness. If he retreats, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life will be in jeopardy. If His Highness has a good deal, everyone will know what kind of fate these eunuchs will be.
Although the opponent on the opposite side is difficult to defeat, a step back is a cliff.
"Yikes!" Han Benyong rushed up again. First cut it from the inside up, shaved it, and then shaved it from the outside down. Although in an almost crazy state, Han Benyong couldn't accurately control the burning stick in his hand at all, but each of his sticks was very powerful. Even if Zhang Cha successfully blocked the moves, it was impossible for the muscle fibers in his arms not to be traumatized.
Corning felt his chance had come. As a spy, he can't fight people in a dignified manner like in his previous life, but from the moment he embarks on this path, the weapon in his hand is always ready.
A fan was taken from his waist. According to his predecessor's memory, this is a weapon created by his butler Kang Xin, and there is also a hidden weapon mechanism, but Kang Ning is not going to use a hidden weapon here, so as not to misunderstand him as an assassin.
The cat-like footsteps were taken by him, although he did not have the same speed as Yang Dayan, but all of Zhang Cha's attention was on Han Benyong, and he did not have the extra energy to be alert to him who launched an attack behind him.
Even Han Benyong, who could see him in the field of vision, didn't care about a person who rushed up like the wind. He just used his spare eyes to see that the eldest man was also wearing the clothes of a eunuch, and instinctively thought that it was someone who was with him.
Although the logic is flawed, the conclusion is not too far from the truth.
Corning was indeed with him.
When Kang Ning jumped high behind Zhang Cha, the fight between the two was still stalemate.
With a bang, Corning's fan slammed into Zhang Cha's head. The latter's movements froze, and the pioneer hand who held the front end of the stick to control the force was hit hard by Han Benyong. But he couldn't feel the pain anymore, because his head was already dizzy.
A dull voice followed, it was the sound of Zhang Cha falling to the ground.
Kang Ning and Han Ben met with their eyes, and although the two did not know each other, they still looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, the four doors of the surrounding palaces were wide open, and the eunuchs and palace maids rushed out with brooms and brooms in hand. They shouted to protect the crown prince, ignoring Han Benyong and Kang Ning's disdainful eyes, ran around Zhang Cha, who had fainted, and punched and kicked him.
"Don't fight." Kang Ning roared angrily, "Keep your mouth alive and find out who is the real culprit behind the scenes." ”
Wang An, who had just shown his head to observe the situation, heard Kang Ning's words, and hurriedly ran back to ask His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Your Highness. That assassin can't be killed. It's better to hand it over to the imperial court to find out who the real culprit is behind the scenes. ”
"Yes, yes." Zhu Changluo didn't know that this was a power struggle around him. Even if you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are just a doll that has been played with.
It's just that he and the people around him are not aware of his doll attributes. Even the traverser Corning, who was standing outside, was in the clouds at this time.
After all, what happened in front of me was the attack case, one of the three major suspicious cases in the late Ming Dynasty.
The complexity of the relationship of interests during this period made many historians who jumped out of the chessboard scratch their ears and cheeks and couldn't understand, not to mention that Kangning, who is still in the Lushan Mountains, wants to know its true face, it is even more difficult.
All he could do was follow the historical script and move on.
Zhang Cha can't be killed, otherwise he wouldn't have confessed to Concubine Zheng's side. Although the involvement of His Royal Highness King Fu has made the entire attack case unrecognizable. But Corning still wanted to preserve a little bit of historical authenticity, to preserve the best interests of the traverser.
That's why he just shouted. But the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids didn't take it seriously, until Wang An rushed out again and kicked them away one by one.
"You dogs, I didn't hear His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say, this person wants to live."
A few years later, he will become the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and now he has the demeanor of a fighter among eunuchs.
When everyone saw him like this, they were so frightened that they were silent.
Only Corning turned his head back and forth a little bewildered.
Wang An has followed Zhu Changluo for many years, and there is no one in the entire Ciqing Palace that he does not know. He hadn't noticed Corning, and now that things had settled down, it took to get a look at Corning.
Kangning knew that he was asking questions, and he really couldn't explain it for a while. Fortunately, his brain turned fast enough, and he immediately rushed to the fainting Fu King Zhu Changxun, and shouted loudly with a crying voice: "Your Highness! Your Highness! What's wrong with you? Woowoowoo......"
When Wang An saw it, he guessed that he was the person brought by Zhu Changxun, and he didn't say anything more at the moment. After all, His Royal Highness King Fu was knocked unconscious by that assassin in order to save the crown prince.
In fact, even if he wanted to say anything, it was too late. Because Jin Yiwei had already rushed in, this situation obviously needed to be explained by him, the head of the eunuch.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
The bearded Jinyi guard commanded Luo Sigong to stand out from the crowd.
Behind him, Li Jinzhong led three little children to follow.
When Zhu Youxiang saw his father lying on the ground, he immediately shouted loudly: "Father! Father! ”
Then he broke free from Li Jinzhong's hand and rushed over.
Luo Sigong was about to ask Wang An about the situation, but unexpectedly, a little kid behind him rushed out, and he couldn't help but subconsciously glance in that direction.
His Royal Highness King Fu, who fell to the ground, did not attract his attention, but the emerald green toad ring that Kang Ning was injured was particularly eye-catching.
I only heard Luo Sigong whisper: "It turned out to be him." ”
