Chapter 127: Palm Thunder
The Sixteen Princes' Mansion at night is very quiet, and the two palace people in the study of King Ji's Mansion take turns shaking the fan to blow the wind on the ice, and the coolness of the ice after melting and the fragrance on the fan blades make the whole study fragrant and cool.
Li Bao and Ling'er are playing Go on the desk, and with Li Bao's current chess level, they can only bully and bully Ling'er.
Li Yi slept on the low couch in the corner of the study, now it was the scorching summer heat, the little guy was unwilling to go to bed early after dinner, crying and shouting that he had to play with his brother, who knew that he didn't play for long, and fell asleep in the cool breeze of the hand-cranked fan.
Seeing that the little guy was sleeping sweetly, Li Bao instructed his nurse not to take him away first, but to put him in the room first, and then carry him back to the room when it was late at night.
Just as Li Bao wanted to eat one of Ling'er's big dragons, Hu Sanbao rushed in from outside. said hurriedly to Li Bao: "Lang Jun, the Shence Army is coming." ”
"Oh, where have they been?" Li Bao asked.
"It's already starting from the Forbidden Garden on the east side of Daming Palace, and it's estimated that it will come to us in less than three quarters of an hour, so it's time for us to prepare."
Li Bao threw down the chess pieces and said to Ling'er: "You quickly take Ba Lang, Cui Niang, Hui Niang and others to the backyard to hide, if I don't go to look for you, don't come out, you know?" ”
Ling'er saw the decisiveness in Li Bao's eyes, and her heart sank, and she said with concern: "Lang Jun must be careful!" ”
Li Bao took Ling Eryu's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, I have been prepared, they want to hurt me, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Go ahead, don't wake up Hachiro. With that, Li Bao took Hu Sanbao and walked out.
Ling'er knew that today's matter was very crucial, and she couldn't help Lang Jun, so she had better hurry up and hide, at this time, only not to distract Li Bao was the biggest help for him.
Ling'er secretly swore in her heart that once Lang Jun was defeated, she would not survive and would definitely follow Lang Jun. cleaned up a bit, and then led the nurse who was holding Li Yi in his arms and the other palace people to the backyard.
………………………………………………………………
There are nearly 400 people in the palace of King Ji, of which there are more than 100 eunuchs, and only 40 or 50 are upright and prime.
Hu Sanbao followed Li Bao's instructions, selected 30 capable people from them, and divided them into three teams, each team of 10 people, and another 10 tall people were selected to train alone.
Li Bao and Hu Sanbao came to the front of the main hall and saw that on the road in front of the main hall of King Ji's mansion, the well-trained eunuchs had already stood in line, silently waiting for orders in the night.
Li Bao felt that he had to say something at this time to cheer everyone up. So Li Bao took a deep breath and said aloud to everyone: "There will be great changes in the palace tonight, if something happens to Bao today, you will definitely not be saved, for the sake of all of us being safe, please accompany Bao to go crazy tonight, how about it?" ”
After a long time of training, everyone had already developed their courage, so they said in unison: "I am willing to die for the king!" ”
Seeing that everyone was full of energy, Li Bao was very pleased, and he felt that the certainty of success for tonight's events had increased by two points. Then Hu Sanbao commanded to everyone: "Perform your duties, go and get your weapons in turn." ”
After hearing the order, the team of thirty people walked to the front door, and the front door arranged where Lin Jiaying was waiting, and they would receive a Zhuge Divine Crossbow from Lin Jiaying in turn.
The main training content of the crossbow team on weekdays is to load crossbow arrows and shoot at targets, and this crossbow does not require much skill. Their main purpose is to prevent the gods from breaking in, and they can be used to seal off the door of the house.
The reason why they are divided into three teams is that the venue in King Ji's mansion is not large, and there are many people who can't stand; The second is that Li Bao remembered that the later fire/gun team used the "three-stage attack" tactic, so Li Bao learned from it and trained his subordinates in the same way.
The other team of ten people is mainly trained to throw things on weekdays. As for what to throw in the end, the team members didn't know, but Lang Jun told them to practice throwing things, and they didn't question it, they just practiced throwing things desperately.
Their weapons were in several large boxes behind them, all of which were palm-sized black jars.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Hu Sanbao never told the pitchers that the black jar contained gunpowder, nor did he tell them how powerful the thing was. Now that it's about to be used, I'll have to explain it to them in detail.
When the team of ten knew that the weapon they had thrown exploded like a thunderbolt, their eyes were full of surprise. If it is really as Xiao Hu said, then they are not the first-class immortals who subdue demons and subdue demons in the legend of Zhiwei, and they can release palm thunder casually without chanting a spell!
Immediately, a few couldn't help but be curious and wanted to try the power. Hu Sanbao hurriedly stopped them and said solemnly: "Everyone pay attention, this little black jar, you must not underestimate it." In case it catches fire and explodes, all of us present will be injured, so be careful! ”
Seeing that Hu Sanbao said so seriously, some people in the team didn't care, and they said in their hearts that this little steward must have deliberately scared them.
Li Bao, who had been looking at everyone, smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone may not believe it, or they may think that Hu San'er is scaring everyone." During the Shangyuan Festival last year, the Xuanhui Academy made Yang Gongqing die, everyone must have heard about it, right? ”
Everyone nodded, the strongest of them is the team leader of the ten-person team, called Yang Gan, and he also has a younger brother named Yang Liu, both brothers are on errands in King Ji's house, and now Yang Liu is in the crossbow team.
Yang Gan then spoke: "I heard that a thunder fell from the sky that day to exterminate the demons in the Yang Academy's family, but I didn't want to shake Yang Gongqing to death, could it be that Lang Jun released the thunder at that time?" ”
Hu Sanbao said with a smile: "Then you don't need to ask, of course it's our hands, otherwise how could that old guy die so quickly?" ”
After listening to Hu Sanbao's words, everyone took a breath of cool air, how could this little Langjun be so powerful, he was so scheming at a young age, and the eunuch of the Daming Palace was killed by Xiao Langjun when he said that he would be killed, and his family would definitely not be bad in the future.
Seeing everyone's admiring gaze, Li Bao felt that he couldn't blindly get close to his subordinates, if he was too close, it was easy to lose his majesty, and in this hierarchical society, he still had to respect the rules of the game.
So Li Bao said to everyone: "Now that everyone understands the power of this 'palm thunder', let's do it well, don't hurt yourself by mistake, you know?" ”
Everyone replied in unison: "No, I understand, please rest assured!" ”
After instructing everyone, Li Bao left with his hands behind his back, and handed over the rest to Hu Sanbao. The timing of igniting the fire and throwing it out has been practiced in the usual training, and now before going on the field, I just emphasize some precautions for them.
In order to prevent tonight's chaos, Li Bao put a lot of thought into it, and these crossbows and gunpowder were smuggled in through the Xuanhui Courtyard early in the morning.
But in the event of a real conflict, he is not sure what the final outcome will be. But with these things, he has the bottom in his heart, at least it won't be too empty.
Besides, these things are mainly for precaution, and the effect of gunpowder is still to deter, as long as he can deter those divine strategy soldiers at that time, he will be sure of the safety of hundreds of people in the Ji Wang's mansion.
Li Bao looked at the night sky, and his heart was full of thoughts, maybe this era was no longer the time and space recorded in the history he came, after all, because of him as a traveler, many things had changed.
I still remember that there was a famous "space-time paradox" in later generations, and he didn't know what he was now, but after he came to this time and space, all he wanted was to live well, and if someone deprived him of the chance to live, he could only fight to the end.
Li Bao's thoughts were still interrupted by the noise outside King Ji's mansion, and he could only hear the sound of gold and iron colliding with swords, guns, swords, and halberds outside the wall, as well as the noise of men and horses, all of which showed that a night of killing had arrived.
Li Bao turned around and ran to the front door, and said to Lin Jiaying: "Are all the portals closed?" ”
Lin Jiaying said to Li Baozhengse: "Lang Jun rest assured, in our king's mansion, the front yard is guarded by slaves and maids, and Fu Hai has been arranged to guard the backyard, and the door is closed." ”
Hearing Lin Jiaying's answer, Li Bao felt a lot more relieved, and then he commanded the crossbow team: "Everyone has put on the crossbow arrows, and will listen to my orders later, don't panic, if we can all listen to the orders and do what is ordered." Let's be safe tonight! ”
After listening to Li Bao's promise, everyone settled down a lot in their hearts, and the cold sweat on several faces came out, and they didn't dare to wipe it in front of Li Bao.
After a while, Hu Sanbao came over with the bombing team, and after everyone came, they were ready to their respective posts. Hu Sanbao instructed people to get a ladder, and he slowly climbed up to observe the situation outside.
After that, Hu Sanbao came to Li Bao and said softly: "Langjun is still very calm outside, but there seems to be movement in the Wei Wangfu. ”
King Wei is Li Bao's eldest brother, and since the Shence Army has gone to the mansion of the eldest prince, the other older princes will definitely be poisoned tonight.
Li Bao didn't have much contact with those older brothers on weekdays, and he didn't have much sadness for tonight's killing, all he had to do was to ensure the safety of the people around him, and no matter how many people were out of his ability.
Li Bao and everyone else have the same thoughts, hoping that things will change tonight, but at this time, the fate of the princes has not changed, and Li Bao has nothing to say.
Li Bao instructed Hu Sanbao to continue to go up and snoop, and then instructed Yang Gan to take their places at the gatehouse and the wall. and instructed the palace people who carried the grenades to make supplies.
Once everything is settled, the next thing is to wait. Every second of the waiting time was as long as a year, and when Li Bao and everyone felt that they couldn't bear it anymore, Hu Sanbao shouted: "Here, a pair of centaurs are coming to our side." ”
