Chapter 56: The Edict

Such a situation had long been expected by Li Cheng, otherwise he would not have come to Gong Zhen and Ma Liu after the arrangement had just been arranged, and when he heard the news, Li Cheng felt more and more that he was wise and powerful, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The two generals are looking at you now."

Gong Zhen pulled out his sword and said sharply: "Okay, I'll go and gather the brothers."

There are a total of 100 guards on duty in the palace tonight, after Queen Xiao returns to the palace, they no longer have to guard Concubine Xiao's bedroom, they are only responsible for regular patrol tasks, but they are relaxed at this moment, and they are gathering together to fight the game

The so-called game is gambling money, they are just ordinary guards, and they don't know much about the core secrets, even if the palace changes to a new owner, at most they will be kicked out, and they usually won't take their lives, so their mentality is much easier than Gong Zhen and Ma Liu

Of course, Gong Zhen and Ma Liu are still their commanders, and when they heard Gong Zhen and Ma Liu's orders, these guards hurriedly dropped the gambling equipment in their hands, those looking for weapons, those looking for armor, and the armor were in a mess, and some people took the opportunity to take away the gambling money on the table, and when others saw it, they immediately argued, and Gong Zhen and Ma Liu were two big heads

However, tonight's operation still depends on these guards to complete, and Ma Liu didn't want to be too harsh on them, so he said loudly: "Gather quickly, and when you complete the task, each will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, so that you all have a good time."

Hearing that there was a silver reward, the guards immediately thundered with joy, and no one quarreled about that little gambling money anymore, if it wasn't for the palace being big enough, the movement here would have already reached Queen Xiao

Seeing that the team had been assembled, Li Cheng showed a smile on his face: "The two generals, our family is powerless, and we are waiting here for the news of the triumph of the two generals."

Gong Zhen and Ma Liu were all martial artists who were transferred to the palace after Li Yuan took charge of Luoyang, where did they know the cruelty of this kind of struggle, so they took a hundred guards to Jingfan Palace, which was where Empress Xiao feasted Gao Xiu'er and others

Just when Gong Zhen and Ma Liu were still a hundred steps away from Jingfan Palace, they heard a coquettish shout from ahead: "Stop the password"

Gong Zhen didn't know what the password was, and when he saw that his deeds were revealed, he couldn't help shouting: "Kill"

The palace guards could not be equipped with bows and crossbows, and they all relied on a long lance and a waist knife, but they were all warriors selected from the army, and their martial arts were strong, but no matter how strong the warriors were, it was difficult to help without the military heart

Although these guards don't know too many secrets, they also know that today the palace has changed its master, and now it is Empress Xiao who is in charge of the palace, and now the empress dowager, the emperor has also changed from the infant Yang Gao to the six-year-old Yang Qi, in this case, Gong Zhen suddenly shouted and shouted in the palace to kill, which naturally caused the confusion of the guards, and the guards couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and they retreated, but no one was willing to rush to the front

Ma Liuqing was anxious and pushed the guards beside him: "I heard that it was Xiao Concubine's henchman who wanted to kidnap the Empress Dowager and rescue the Empress Dowager, which was a great achievement, and he was promoted to the third level of the official and rewarded a thousand taels of silver as a soldier."

When the soldier saw the money, it was like a fly seeing blood, and the guard heard that the eyes were green when he heard that the silver was rewarded, and he roared and rushed out

Hearing the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, the guard who rushed in front let out a miserable scream in response, and fell to the forehead, an iron arrow had already been deeply inserted, leaving only a small half of it still outside, and a trace of red and white oozed out of the wound

Gong Zhen was taken aback: "It's not good, they have a crossbow, quickly take the big shield"

Ma Liu stretched out his hand and shouted: "Brothers, it's just some women, how much strength can they have, and we will rush over together before they have time to continue loading crossbows."

The crossbow is powerful, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is time-consuming and laborious when reloading, these guards are selected from the army, although they are not equipped with crossbows, but they also know the advantages and disadvantages of the crossbow, and after listening to Ma Liu's words, the guards really swarmed up

On the other side, there were more than a dozen iron arrows, but these guards were already prepared, coupled with their high martial arts, only two of them were slightly injured, and this result suddenly made the guards feel great, and they rushed faster

Suddenly, I heard another coquettish shout: "Bring my bow"

With a bang, the bowstring sounded, and the three guards in front of them rolled over and fell to the ground, and before they could even scream, one of their feathered arrows stuck in their throats was killed

Things have come to this point, Gong Zhen and Ma Liu know that they can only hope to live if they rush forward, and they can't stop, but the person on the other side is very powerful, the arrows are not missing, every time the bowstring sounds, two or three people fall to the ground, and each arrow is in the throat, and there are guards who protect their throats with their hands, but the arrow passes through his hand, nailing his hand and throat together

Gong Zhen is also a veteran general in the army, he has never seen such a miraculous archery, and when he rushed to the front, he saw that the person holding the bow was actually a woman, and the woman was extremely beautiful, and Gong Zhen was stunned for a while

Ma Liu didn't care about it, he rushed forward with a knife, he relied on his martial arts, and he had already seen the woman's position clearly, and he was confident that he could dodge the woman's cold arrow

I saw that the woman was unhurried, drew her bow and arrows, and shouted: "Hold"

Ma Liu subconsciously raised his knife to protect his throat, but the bowstring sounded, but there was no movement, it turned out that the woman's arrow was bluffing, Ma Liu jumped up in anger, and after two ups and downs, he was only a dozen steps away from the woman

Listening to the sound of the bowstring again, Ma Liu protected his throat again, but felt a pain in his wrist, and had already been hit by an arrow, the knife in his wrist couldn't hold it and fell into the dust, Ma Liuda pointed at the woman in surprise and said, "You ......"

He originally wanted to say, shouldn't you shè my throat, but before he finished speaking, his throat was really cold, and an arrow pierced his throat

Gong Zhen was not far away, but she could see the woman clearly, so that a series of beads and two arrows were sent out at the same time, one arrow took Ma Liu's wrist, and the other arrow took Ma Liu's throat, even among the top generals of the Great Sui, it is rare to know the bead archery technique, but I didn't expect to understand Gong Zhen in this woman, knowing that she was not an opponent, she didn't dare to rush forward and turn around and leave

The woman refused to let him go, and another arrow shè came from the back of Gong Zhen's neck shè and nailed him to the ground alive, which shows that the power of this arrow is terrifying, and the public guards are all terrified, not to mention that there are a hundred female guards around, and this woman alone is none of them is her opponent

Of course, these guards didn't know that Mu Duoli's strength was so great, and the reason for this effect was that she relied on the special divine arm bow

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance, only to hear someone shouting repeatedly: "Take them all down."

A group of black-clad and black-armored warriors rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they beat the remaining dozens of guards to the ground, and they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered

Several samurai surrounded a tall young man and walked over, and Mu Duoli happily stepped forward: "Master, you are here"

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "The little people dare to make a mess and don't scare you."

Mu Duoli pursed her lips: "How can it be, the slave is worried about my sister"

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Madame's nerves are strong."

At this time, Da was stunned and walked over and said: "The group of guards of the Hui lord said that they were instructed by the school captain Gong Zhen and Ma Liu, so they did not know about it, and their subordinates asked for strict torture of them, and it was necessary to find out."

Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "Where are Gong Zhen and Ma Liu?"

Da was stunned and glanced at Mu Duoli and arched his hand: "I have been killed by Mrs. Shè"

Mu Duoli proudly raised the divine arm bow in her hand: "How is the archery skills of the old man slave?"

Liu Ziqiu glared at her angrily: "How about it, I don't know how to use my brains to leave a living, forget it, take me to see the Queen Mother."

Hua Yun jumped out from behind: "Second brother, I'll go too"

Mu Duoli frowned slightly: "This general's palace is not allowed to trespass."

"Isn't my second brother a man, I'm not uncommon, what the Queen Mother, can't I go to see my sister-in-law," Hua Yun said as she stared at Mu Duoli up and down, and Mu Duoli felt furious in her heart

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go in together."

Da was stunned and asked, "What about the guards, the lord?"

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand: "Drive them out of the palace and order them to return to the field"

……

In the Jingfan Palace, Empress Xiao's face turned pale with fright, and it wasn't until Liu Ziqiu entered the palace that she breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and said, "Lord Liu's rebellion has been quelled."

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "A few guards have been taken down by Weichen, but I don't know what the will of the mother is called late at night."

"This worried rì family has long been enough," Empress Xiao sighed, pulled out a roll of yellow silk from behind her, and said faintly, "The mourning family drafted an edict for the emperor, Lord Liu read it himself."

Gao Xiu'er glanced at Empress Xiao in surprise, just now a few of them were drinking and gossiping with Empress Xiao, but they didn't hear Empress Xiao mention the matter of giving Liu Ziqiu an edict, and I didn't know what was written in Empress Xiao's edict

Liu Ziqiu was also suspicious and took the edict, unfolded it and saw that it was actually Yang Qi's Zen edict, and hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager is absolutely impossible."

Empress Xiao had already recovered from the fright just now, shook her head and said: "The mourning family has long figured out that this country can't sit still, so it's better to leave it to Lord Liu to take care of it than to let others chase it."

Without waiting for Liu Ziqiu to speak, Empress Xiao waved her hand again and said: "The mourning family has already made an appointment with Sister Xiu'er, and Ming Rì will accompany her to revisit Shanglin Xiyuan, if Lord Liu has nothing to do, why don't you accompany me to go with me."
