Chapter 603: Assassination

readx;

Lin Zhao was awakened in a light sleep and saw Cao Jian's flying pigeon biography!

"Gao Tao wants to open the palace gate at night and go out?" Lin Zhao was a little surprised, which one is this singing?

Di Qing said: "Yes, and I'm in a hurry, there must be something important, otherwise I wouldn't be so reckless." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Looking at the meaning between Cao Jian's words, it seems to be related to Childe! ”

Lin Zhao's eyebrows were a little more dignified, Gao Taotao was a scheming woman, and the degree of horror far exceeded that of Zhao Ji. From beginning to end, Lin Zhao did not underestimate her, he thought that he would not fight with her so early, but now it seems inevitable.

"Could it be that Gao Tao knows the identity of the son?" Li Cheng was surprised: "How can this be? ”

"I don't know the details, but it's very likely!" Di Qing was also a little helpless, in the end, he couldn't prevent it, and he still leaked the secret at the last moment.

"And tomorrow?" Li Chengcheng's heart is that Zhao Ji's mother and son are already prepared, and there will be a trap tomorrow.

"Maybe it's not as bad as I thought, but it's good to keep things under wrap today." Lin Zhao groaned: "Why is Gao Tao in a hurry to see Zhao Xuan? Do you want to meet Zhao Hao? ”

"Childe is saying, is it just Gao Tao who learned the news, and Zhao Ji doesn't know?"

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "I can only think so!" Gao Tao was in a hurry to leave the palace, firstly, he was afraid that Zhao Ji was in danger, and secondly, he wanted to tell his son and take precautions! ”

"The truth will be revealed tomorrow, even if she sees Zhao Ji, what can she do?" Li Cheng was a little unimpressed.

Di Qing shook his head and said cautiously: "If there is no certainty, there is a possibility that something will happen." It must be viewed with caution! ”

"Gao Tao was blocked by Cao Jian, and he couldn't get out of the palace tonight. I won't be able to see Zhao Ji until early tomorrow morning at the earliest, but I can also catch up before the sacrifice......"

"That's not going to work, should we find a way to stall?"

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Think about it first, even if their mother and son learn the truth, how will they react?" After dawn, the sacrifice will continue as usual, and it cannot be changed! ”

Li Cheng thought first: "They will question the identity of Gongzi and do everything possible to hinder our actions!" ”

"It's useless to question. Can't change the facts! Di Qing felt that they were well prepared to deal with possible doubts, and they were very thoughtful in this regard.

"Then all that's left is to stop!"

"How to stop it? Don't let Childe go to Taimiao? Li Cheng asked softly.

"Not only Childe, but all key people are indispensable!"

Li Cheng suggested: "What then? If you don't leave before dawn, Gao Taotao can't stop it even if he has the heart! ”

"No, the temple is in the outer city. It is night now, and there will be a big sacrifice tomorrow, and the guards must be tight, and they will not be able to pass the pass of the inner city defenders. Di Qing categorically ruled out this possibility.

"Then what would Gao Tao do if he had the heart to stop it? Intercept and kill the child? ”

Li Cheng thought of the worst outcome, and Di Qing also thought so: "It doesn't matter if it's more than 20 years ago." Or now, Gao Tao can't tolerate his son, and he will want to kill him quickly. After tomorrow, they must be afraid to do it before the son's identity is revealed. It's quite possible.

It's just the assassination of a minister, and the identity of the prince will always be a mystery. As for the aftermath, it's even simpler. Gongzi has many enemies, but both the Tangut and the Tubo have motives for assassinating Gongzi, and it is too easy to find a scapegoat. ”

"In other words, as long as Gongzi successfully arrives at the Taimiao, he will win?" Li Cheng sighed: "Letting Cao Jian prepare carrier pigeons really played a key role, at least we can prepare now, defenseless." ”

"Childe, it's always good to be prepared!"

"Then prepare, if this imperial sister-in-law is really ruthless, you might as well let her steal chickens and rice!" A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes, and he ordered, "Li Cheng, you go ......"

The time has passed, and March 29 of the sixth year of Xining has arrived.

From this moment on, twenty-four years of new and old hatreds will be liquidated together!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the day dawned, and the first touch of fish belly white was revealed in the east, the earth-shattering day began.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the death of Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court will hold a grand sacrifice in the Taimiao. Imperial families, relatives, and ministers above the fifth rank must attend. Just look at the Empress Dowager and the official family who went to the Taimiao Temple one day in advance to fast and observe filial piety, you can know the degree of grandeur.

Therefore, everyone who participated in the event got up early to prepare and prepare to go to the Taimiao. lest there be any fetters and delay the big event, Emperor Renzong's sacrifice, no one dares to slack off.

This is especially true of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Pu, did not dare to slack off, got up early, and prepared to rush to the Taimiao in advance.

Zhao Zongsheng is the fourth son of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu Anyi, that is, the elder brother of Zhao Zongshi of Song Yingzong, and the uncle of Zhao Ji. Because of his descendant, he inherited the title of Zhao Yunrang, and he was the heir of King Pu, and his status was superior.

Song Zhenzong only had one son, Emperor Renzong, and Renzong had no sons, and succeeded Zhao Yun, the thirteenth elder of the family, Zhao Zong, who was actually Yingzong. The royal family has few close relatives, so the Pu Wang family has become a close branch clan with a relatively high status.

Zhao Zongsheng is the representative of the Pu Wang family, and he does not have much affection for Emperor Renzong, and he does not respect him. But he didn't dare to slack off in today's sacrifice, in addition to being a nephew, he also had a position - to judge the main thing!

He is Zong Zhengqing, and he naturally has to be extra attentive to such a sacrificial ceremony. Fortunately, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are very cooperative, do their best, and all preparations have been in place, he only needs to deal with some related things, and don't make a mess.

Even so, he still planned to go out early and go to the Taimiao to have a look and see if there were any omissions.

Unexpectedly, the gate opened, and as soon as he stepped out of the palace and was about to set up the guard of honor to go out, someone came to the palace.

"Slave Lu Yuan see King Pu!"

"Who are you? But what is the will of the palace? Zhao Zongsheng was not familiar with the chamberlain and felt a little unfamiliar.

"Slaves and maids are on an errand in the Baoci Palace? The Queen Mother has an edict to the prince! Lu Yuan showed the token in the Baoci Palace in time.

Zhao Zongsheng smiled: "The Queen Mother is worried about the ceremony? Rest assured, it's all in place! ”

"Yes, but in addition, the Queen Mother has other things to explain, please let the prince step back." Lu Yuan replied cautiously.

"Huh?" Zhao Zongsheng's face was a little more suspicious, what kind of fame are his younger brothers and sisters doing? It's also mysterious. There's no way, although he is a brother, but who made the thirteenth of the family emperors? had no choice but to wave his hand back from his entourage, and Lu Yuan handed over a letter.

Zhao Zongsheng didn't take it too seriously, opened it as he wanted, and after reading the content, he was shocked.

"This ......"

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "The prince should recognize the notes of the queen mother, and the phoenix seal will not be wrong, and please follow the prince's orders!" ”

"This king obeys the order, go and do it immediately!" Zhao Zongsheng immediately delayed his trip and hurried back home, his steps trembling involuntarily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The morning sun is rising, outside the door of Zheng Guogong's Mansion!

A vendor walked by with a burden, selling breakfast, cooking cakes for two pennies a piece, the taste was intolerable, and it was very popular. The vendors greeted the guests attentively, and their eyes did not glance at the entrance of the Guogong Mansion in the distance.

After a while, the gate opened, and the vendor saw a young man dressed in neat court clothes, get into the carriage, and set off with a few retinues! He recognized that the person who got on the car was the Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy, General Yunlu, and Lin Zhao, the Duke of Zheng Guo. Yesterday, the people welcomed him, and he saw General Lin walking by on a white horse.

The vendor then picked up his burden, ignored the few diners in line behind him, and hurried away with the carriage.

Walking to the intersection of the Bianhe River, putting down his burden, and continuing to sell cooking cakes, a man who was drinking porridge nearby got up and followed. At another intersection, a few slender men came from the embankment, following behind......

Zheng Guogong's carriage continued to move forward, and when it came to an intersection, an ox cart carrying grain stopped in the middle of the road no sooner or later, and several other intersections also happened to pass several cars, some transporting timber and some transporting porcelain, and they were caught off guard and all collided together. Suddenly, woodware, porcelain fragments, and rice were scattered all over the ground......

There was a traffic jam at the intersection, and if it wasn't for the driver's timely response, the carriage of the Guogong Mansion almost crashed.

Before the coachman could curse, he saw a long knife drawn from under the grain cart, and a group of fierce people pounced!

When the street is murdered, this kind of thing has not happened in Bianjing City for a long time.

When the people on the street saw this, they were terrified and fled!

The sharp blades shimmered in the morning sun, and five or six people, moving together, pounced on the carriage from the front, back, left and right.

Assassinate!

The coachman and the servant were all shocked and stepped forward to fight with the assassin!

The Assassin's purpose was clear, and he did not fight with the guards at all, and went straight to the carriage.

Suddenly attacked, the guards were defenseless, and one of the Assassins rushed directly into the carriage, kicking the coachman and stabbing his sword directly through the door.

The long knife turned, and the entire door cracked into a splash of wood chips.

The assassin wanted to check the effect of the knife just now, but found that the entire carriage was empty, and immediately showed a look of horror!

A shout to remind your companions to flee!

Obviously, the other party came prepared, and the assassination completely lost its suddenness, and it was more like a game set up by the other party......

It's too late!

More than a dozen masters hidden in the crowd suddenly made a move, and the result of three hits and one can be imagined!

A few of them are running to the Bianhe River not far away at this moment, wanting to escape into the water and dive away!

But how could Li Cheng give him this opportunity?

One assassin was pierced in the back, and the other was stabbed in the neck, and blood spurted wildly!

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the remaining four people felt a pang in their hearts, and they all bit their jaws! As a result, Li Cheng, who was quick-eyed, and several guards quickly shot, and a black object fell out of the dislocated jaw!

"With poison in the mouth, it's still a dead man, hum!" Li Chengleng snorted and said, "If you want to die, where is it so easy?" It's a big use to keep your mouth! ”

When I turned around, I saw the rippling waters of the Bianhe River under the rising sun.

Li Cheng smiled lightly, Childe should have arrived at the Taimiao, right?
