Chapter 279: Assassination (3)

Dressed in a cool leather coat, his slender waist is full of throwing knives.

Fu Qingyao fell from one side of the wall, still holding a flying knife in her hand, and staring at the two black-clothed people in front of her vigilantly. Obviously, although she usually babbles, she is still very keen to find that these two black-clothed people are not ordinary, at least it is definitely not an easy task to easily knock down her flying knife.

The two black-clothed men glanced at each other, then separated, one forced Xu Mao again, and the other rushed towards Fu Qingyao.

As soon as Fu Qingyao saw it, a flying knife shot at the man in black who rushed towards her, and she was just about to step up to rescue Xu Mao, but the man in black dodged the flying knife in a flash, and reappeared in front of Fu Qingyao. Pepper was filled with short knives from her waist and immediately became entangled with the man in black.

Roaring Xu Mao's whole body trembled, seeing the man in black rushing quickly, his face suddenly turned hideous, and he roared loudly, the wolf tooth stick was raised high, the man in black looked indifferent, and the cold long knife went straight to Xu Mao's lower abdomen.

Suddenly, Xu Mao, who was trembling all over, roared in a low voice again, and rushed forward with a lift of his footsteps, and the wolf tooth stick smashed on the head of the man in black.

The face of the man in black changed, and before he could exhale, he was smashed by Xu Mao's mace. At the same time, his long knife also cut deep into Xu Mao's lower abdomen, and blood slowly dripped down.

- He didn't expect Xu Mao to make such a desperate move.

Xu Mao slowly turned his head to look at Fu Qingyao, who was almost desperate, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he slowly fell down.

"Fat" Xu Mao was just about to fall, but another slender figure leaped down from the wall and ran straight towards Xu Mao.

When Xu Mao heard this voice, he couldn't help grinning, at this moment he felt like a hero, and he slowly fell down with a smile on his face.

Xiu'er rushed to Xu Mao and saw that he was still smiling with his eyes closed, so she checked him again, looking at the shocking scar, she quickly bandaged it, her little face was like a cat, and then her pretty face was full of murderous spirit, and she rushed to the black-clothed man who was entangled with Fu Qingyao with the long sword.

The man in black who was still pressing Fu Qingyao suddenly felt the pressure, Xiu'er was originally trained by Wu Qingning, and he was good at martial arts, and at this moment he was full of desperate posture, and the man in black immediately retreated step by step, and the parry did not stop.

On the other side, Wen Pang was scarred, and finally swung his knife sharply to eliminate the man in black who was stabbed by him with a short knife.

Around him, there were six men in black lying in different postures, each of them dead and unable to die anymore.

Wen Pang hung one arm, covered in blood, quickly came to Wei Qiao, turned over the man in black, looked at Wei Qiao, who had passed out, and quickly checked it, seeing that Wei Qiao was just in a coma, and there was no danger to his life, he couldn't help but exhale.

At the same time, a rush of horses' hooves on both sides of the avenue rushed straight to this place, and in the distance, you could see the flying dust rising and the dust filling the sky.

Wen Pang put Wei Qiao on the ground, his eyes were slightly cold, he got up and went straight to the man in black who was entangled with the two women, one suddenly attacked, and the other stabbed into the chest of the man in black.

The man in black snorted, spat blood from the corner of his mouth, and fell to the ground.

Wen Pang didn't care about the two women, turned around and walked straight to the twenty black-clothed people who were surrounded by the Yulin Army.

The twenty men in black were all first-class dead soldiers, each of them was a top player, but these people were still unable to resist the extremely fast cavalry, and several attacks were blocked.

The yellow-headed man in black who was surrounded in the middle had extremely indifferent eyes, although he couldn't see Wei Qiao's situation clearly, he could obviously feel that his operation this time was likely to fail!

The yellow-headed man in black felt the tremor of the ground, his brows suddenly jumped, and he suddenly shouted, "Rush out!" ”

The black-clothed men who had been defending against each other immediately rushed westward, although the cavalry of the Yulin Army was very strong, but in the face of these dead soldiers, they were still a little worse, and soon a gap was opened, and the yellow-headed black-clothed men were wrapped around the remaining dozen people, striding out.

"Where to go!" I don't know when, Sima Shengchang also led the men and horses to gallop here, and saw the yellow-headed man in black who was about to escape.

The yellow-headed man in black frowned slightly, turned around and ran towards the side of the wall. The other men in black naturally followed, and they began to prepare to jump over the wall to avoid these cavalry.

After all, Sima Shengchang had also walked through the military, so he immediately snorted coldly, suddenly accelerated, and took the lead and directly stopped the man in black from behind the yellow head.

And the cavalry behind had no scruples, and immediately surrounded and killed the black-clothed people.

And Wen Pang's face sank, dragging a broken arm, and strode over the wall, chasing the yellow-headed man in black.

When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that Wei Qiao had been assassinated and fell unconscious, the entire court was in a sensation.

After all, Wei Qiao's quality is not high, but his identity is special. If he is assassinated, the consequences will be unpredictable!

Immediately, Fu Li, Chang Song, King Zheng, Fu Mingzheng and others, even Li Yuanfang and Tang Yan also entered the palace one after another. If Wei Qiao really has three longs and two shorts, the shock caused will be unprecedented, especially at this extremely sensitive critical moment.

Some people are worried about the reaction of Chang Song's martial disciple Wu Qingning and the army, but the people who know inside understand that this may involve the King of Jin, and the assassination of Wei Qiao has already touched the emperor's scales, and the consequences will inevitably be bloody! But Fu Li and Chang Song frowned, these two people knew those secrets, if Wei Qiao died, did it mean that those back hands of the first emperor would suddenly erupt?

Wei Qiao's assassination is a matter of wisdom for the benevolent, but everyone understands that this matter may definitely set off a monstrous storm again.

Sure enough, Fu Li and others have not yet entered the palace, and the emperor's holy decree was sent to the cabinet Yulin Army Jinling Mansion, first angrily reprimanded, and then ordered Fu Mingzheng to sit in the Yulin Army and the whole city of martial law, Jinling Mansion Yin dismissed his post to investigate, and there was a criminal department, and the military department was demoted.

When Wei Qiao was poured a decoction and fell into a drowsy sleep, the emperor suddenly convened an urgent court meeting.

The first thing is that the King of Jin is missing, when the Imperial Forest Army goes to the Jin Palace, the whole Jin Palace, the whole building is empty, except for some miscellaneous servants, none of the family members of the Jin Mansion know where to go.

The second thing is that when Wu Qingning was in the forbidden army of the confined, he suddenly took out the emperor's jade seal and changed all the generals of the forbidden army, and the 100,000 forbidden troops outside the city became the private army of the martial family almost in half a day!

The third thing is that the warriors suddenly left Jinling and gathered the national garrison at Qingjiabao, a hundred miles north of Jinling, to go to Saiwai. 150,000 in the south of the Yangtze River, 200,000 in the northwest, other scattered troops, and 300,000 outside the Saiwai, the warriors gathered nearly a million troops almost in half a day! What worries the Manchu Dynasty is that the only way for the 150,000 people in the south of the Yangtze River to go north is Jinling!

In the court meeting, almost the courtiers were unanimous in their desire to severely punish the murderer and maintain the dignity of the court. As for the others, I don't know what the courtiers of the Manchu Palace are thinking, and they don't talk about other things.

The emperor on the dragon chair was quite angry, first reprimanded the cabinet, and then severely reprimanded the head of the military department and the head of the criminal department, and almost dismissed him on the spot.

Before the court discussion was over, the brigade of the Imperial Forest Army left the palace and began a large-scale search of the Jin Palace, and there was a holy decree that directly ordered Wu Qingning to urgently go south, because the Jiangnan army left, there were signs of instability in Jiangnan, and it also implied that the King of Jin might have gone to Jiangnan.

After the court discussion, Niu Yilang, Liu Cong and others gathered in the Horse Mansion, and even Sima Chang Nanzheng came to the door in person.

The shocking thing happened in the evening, Wu Qingning suddenly led three thousand forbidden troops directly into Jinling City, and the Yulin army did not have the slightest obstruction. In one hour, the forbidden army pulled out almost all the forces in the open and secret of the king of Jin, and by the time it got dark, no less than 500 people died in this evening.

Immediately, the forbidden army surrounded the Jin Wangfu again, and dug three feet into the ground to find a secret passage from the pond behind, but it was leading to the north gate.

Wu Qingning, who came out of the Horse Mansion, immediately asked Nan Zheng to lead people to chase him.

What Wu Qingning did, from beginning to end, Daqi from the emperor to the hundred officials didn't seem to see it, and they didn't say a word.

Wei Qiao woke up the next afternoon from a pain all over his body.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a pleasant face full of surprise, and Wei Qiao's pale face squeezed out a smile, and said, "You're not hungry for our son, are you?" ”

Li Xiluan pursed her lips and shook her head, even though her surname was strong, she couldn't help crying at this moment.

Wei Qiao gritted his teeth and raised his hand, touched her pretty face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can live for fifty years." ”

Li Xiluan's pretty face also stiffly squeezed out a comforting smile.

Wei Qiao looked outside and said, "What about Qingning?" ”

Li Xiluan put Wei Qiao's hand back and said softly, "It's outside." ”

Wei Qiao nodded with a smile and said, "Let her grasp the proportions, don't spoil her father-in-law's plan." ”

Wei Qiao also knew that the martial apprentices were going north, after all, no matter how unwilling the martial apprentices were to accept Wei Qiao sincerely, Wei Qiao was Wu Qingning's man and his son-in-law.

Li Xiluan nodded lightly, looked at it again, and said softly, "Do you want to eat something?" ”

Wei Qiao shook his head, closed his eyes and wanted to fall asleep again.

After Li Xiluan turned around, Wei Qiao gently opened his eyes again, stared at the white mosquito net, and muttered to himself: "It seems that it is time to go to Yunfo Temple......

This assassination told Wei Qiao that the real last moment had come, and there was no time for him to deal with it so calmly.

And Wei Qiao couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what is the successor of the first emperor, is it really an edict to abolish the emperor? Immediately, Wei Qiao shook his head, what people can think of is not the means of the first emperor.

And after Wei Qiao woke up, I don't know how many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was an unexpected person who suddenly entered Jinling and went straight to the Horse Mansion.
