Chapter 143: An Unexpected Failure

Li Zhu'er has been serving An Lushan's daily life for several years, and in the early days, An Lushan was quite satisfied with him, and he was often rewarded. But as An Lushan's health became worse and worse, and his temper became worse and worse, the people around him were often scolded by him, and he was also unlucky, and finally being beaten on the board became commonplace.

If there is anyone around An Lushan who has been beaten the most, it is naturally Li Zhu'er.

He was not necessarily the one who was beaten the most, but no one was beaten more often than him.

Some of them were beaten and killed on the spot. The person who was beaten to death would not hold a grudge, but Li Zhu'er, who was beaten twice in three days, and was beaten very fiercely, had already had a grudge against An Lushan, and with the increase in the number of beatings, the resentment accumulated more and more. Of course, he didn't dare to express this kind of resentment, and it wasn't until the "prince" An Qingxu secretly found him and expressed his appeasement that he had the courage to vent it.

In recent days, Li Zhu'er has been beaten several times, and he was beaten not lightly, and his buttocks were full of skin and flesh, which hurt him to death. Prince An Qingxu came over in time to comfort him and had a secret discussion with him. When he knew that An Qingxu meant to ask him to secretly kill An Lushan, Li Zhu'er was so frightened that he didn't dare to agree. But under An Qingxu's strength, he still had the courage to reluctantly agree.

Kill An Lushan, you can stop being beaten by the board in the future, and An Qingxu, who is the emperor, will give him reuse and let him be in charge of the internal service province of "Dayan", how can he stand the temptation of such interests, so he will be bold, patted his chest and promised An Qingxu that he will definitely complete the mission delivered by An Qingxu and secretly kill An Lushan.

The action started immediately, and on the night that An Qingxu discussed it with him, Li Zhu'er was ready to do it.

Tonight, he was in charge of serving An Lushan's daily life, and to a certain extent, he was free to enter and leave An Lushan's dormitory. It was precisely because of Li Zhu'er's convenience in the palace that An Qingxu decided to hand over the assassination to this little eunuch to complete.

Midnight. There was silence in Luoyang Palace, and outside An Lushan's dormitory, only a few palace maids and eunuchs were still on duty with their eyes on duty.

After Li Zhu'er asked An Lushan about his sleeping situation softly, he walked into the dormitory alone with the reason that he wanted to check whether An Lushan's quilt was covered.

The candles outside the dormitory were bright, but the place where An Lushan slept was pitch black, and when Li Zhu'er walked into the dormitory gently, his eyes were almost black, because he was too nervous. He accidentally touched something debris, and the noise it made scared most of his soul away. Fortunately, An Lushan's snoring inside only stopped for a short while and continued, but this also made Li Zhu'er break out in a cold sweat.

After pausing for a while and calming himself down, Li Zhu'er continued to walk lightly to the couch where An Lushan slept, and when he was about to walk to the couch, he also quietly took out the dagger from his arms. The dagger glistened in the faint candlelight. Evil is born from the side of the gall, although Li Zhu'er's heart is beating wildly at this time, he has a completely open mentality. lifted the quilt and threw himself towards An Lushan, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch.

But an unexpected scene appeared, just when the dagger in Li Zhu'er's hand stabbed towards An Lushan's heart, An Lushan's loud snoring stopped suddenly. And suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Zhu'er was taken aback, and the dagger in his hand froze, but he still stabbed hard, and there was no way out.

The dagger stabbed into An Lushan's body quickly, and Li Zhu'er could even feel the blockage encountered when the dagger tip pierced into the skin. But he couldn't continue to exert himself, because his hand was pinched by An Lushan.

With a tingling pain in his wrist, Li Zhu'er screamed. The dagger came off automatically.

An Lushan, who was awakened and basically understood what was going on, after screaming, twisted Li Zhu'er's wrist more and more, and his body immediately sat up, pinching Li Zhu'er's neck with his other hand.

Poor Li Zhu'er, the screams could no longer be heard, so he could only struggle desperately, trying to escape from An Lushan's clutches.

But everything was in vain, An Lushan's strength was getting bigger and bigger, and he soon couldn't even breathe.

It may be that he has been in the army for a long time, and An Lushan's body is very sensitive to danger, and today An Lushan has been sleeping unsteadily, and he always feels strange, when Li Zhu'er entered the hall just now, the sound of encountering something has shocked him, but he was not completely awakened.

But I don't know why, when Li Zhu'er lifted the quilt and was about to assassinate him, he woke up suddenly and reacted with instinctive movements. How great his strength is, even when he was awakened from sleep and his strength was not fully recovered, he was many times older than the little eunuch Li Zhu'er with fine skin and tender meat, what kind of character An Lushan was, seeing Li Zhu'er stabbing with a knife, his instinctive reaction was general, and he immediately reached out and grabbed it. Li Zhu'er couldn't bear his strength, and the dagger in his hand also fell. The sharp pain in his body further stimulated An Lushan, and the strength in his hands became more and more powerful.

Poor Li Zhu'er, how could he endure the counterattack of a tall and powerful strong man like An Lushan, and his neck was choked off during the struggle, and he was strangled to death by An Lushan so vividly.

"Someone...... Escort!" When An Lushan was pinching Li Zhu'er, he also shouted loudly. After several shouts in a row, the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the palace immediately reacted, and the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding outside the palace also heard it and immediately rushed in.

After seeing what happened in the dormitory, everyone was taken aback, and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down in unison, and the murderous forbidden soldiers soon surrounded the dormitory.

"Your Majesty, you are injured, the slave maid will go to the imperial doctor immediately!" A clever little eunuch didn't wait for An Lushan to react, and immediately ran out, and the soldiers of the forbidden army did not stop him.

"Pull these people out and beat them to death with a cane!" An Lushan angrily pointed at the palace maid eunuch who knelt on the ground.

With the screams of the crying father and the mother, these poor palace maids and eunuchs were immediately pulled out by the wolf-like forbidden soldiers.

While An Lushan ordered the generals of the forbidden army to escort him, he also ordered them to immediately send the imperial doctor to treat his injuries, and at the same time, he asked those ministers who were close to him to come over to discuss the matter, preparing to track down the person who instructed Li Zhu'er behind it.

An Lushan didn't know why Li Zhu'er wanted to assassinate him, let alone his son An Qingxu, as well as his cronies Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang and others who conspired to kill him, and he also ordered these people to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible.

An Qingxu, who didn't see Li Zhu'er come out safely, already knew that the situation was not good, and then saw that the forbidden army in the palace had moved, so he didn't know what was going on.

The assassination failed.

The person who ordered them to enter the palace to see the driver also arrived immediately.

"Yan Shilang, Li Zhu'er's assassination failed, he must have been noticed by his father in advance, and someone must have reported the news in advance!" An Qingxu looked panicked and asked Yan Zhuang beside him: "Yan Shilang, what should we do?" After a while, my father's soldiers and horses will definitely chase after him soon, and if we don't think of a way, we can only tie up and capture. ”

The people who came to spread the word that they entered the palace arrived so soon, An Qingxu of course thought that An Lushan knew the situation and was ready to send someone to deal with them, if they entered the palace, there would be no chance to come out.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Your Majesty doesn't know that Li Zhu'er was instructed by us!" Yan Zhuang was quite calm, and immediately made a judgment, "If Your Majesty knew that this matter was instructed by us, it would be impossible to send an envoy to pass it on, but to send a forbidden army to arrest it, and we have time to respond." ”

Hearing Yan Zhuang say this, Gao Shang also nodded in agreement: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty will not arrest us immediately for the time being, we have to discuss how to deal with this situation." ”

Except for Yin Ziqi and Tian Qianzhen, who were inside and outside their respective camps, most of the rest of the people who were plotting their actions today gathered together, intending to act immediately after the successful assassination of An Lushan.

Although An Qingxu put a little bit of a snack, he was still very anxious, and asked Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang vigorously: "Yan Shilang, Gao Shilang, you can talk about it quickly, what should I do?" ”

He didn't dare to stay in the palace for a moment.

Although Yan Zhuang pretended to be calm, he was also very nervous in his heart, and after forcing himself to calm down, he said softly to An Qingxu: "Your Highness, Hui'an Gate and Dexian Gate are guarded by General Tian, and Anxi Gate is guarded by General Yin's army, as long as we run to the defense area of the two generals, there will be no big problem!"

"Quick, go to the nearest Dexian Gate immediately!" An Qingxu said, and without waiting for Yan Zhuang to react, he immediately snatched a war horse in the guard's hand, jumped on it at a fast speed, and immediately beat the horse and galloped quickly. His guards immediately followed.

Yan Zhuang sighed helplessly, and with the help of the general, he got on the horse and chased An Qingxu.

Noble also at about the same time, beating horses to keep up. At the same time, he ordered his entourage to hurry back to his house, and ordered his family members who had already prepared to flee in the direction of Dexianmen and prepare to meet there.

Even if An Lushan didn't know the situation now and didn't immediately send someone to arrest them, but soon An Lushan would suspect it, or track it down, if he didn't react, he could only wait to be beheaded.

Fortunately, they have prepared the way back, and even their families have prepared them, as long as the situation is not good, they will immediately slip away.

When the defenders outside the East Palace saw An Qingxu leading people out of the palace, they didn't dare to stop them, and immediately let them go.

After An Qingxu ran out of the East Palace, he accelerated his escape speed again and galloped wildly.

At this time, the people outside the palace didn't know what was happening in the palace, and when they saw the prince An Qingxu leading a group of people to the north of the city quickly, they all hurried to avoid it, and those patrolling sergeants didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

The street where the curfew was enforced at midnight was very empty, and An Qingxu's team of hundreds of people quickly rushed to the vicinity of Dexianmen! (To be continued......)
