Chapter 538: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada
Today's palace seems to have an unsatisfactory atmosphere, and the huge Kunning Palace is unusually deserted at this time, although today is a small year in the lunar calendar. http:///
The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year of the lunar calendar, after this day has already entered the atmosphere of the New Year, from this day to the New Year, it is lively here.
The imperial court is also very aware of these things, which are to be celebrated every year, and this year is no exception.
Jiying Hall is, the lights are bright, because today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and it is the day of the banquet of hundreds of officials.
Jiying Hall is the place used to give banquets to hundreds of officials, which used to be presided over by the emperor himself, and now of course it is by the King of Jin.
Everyone was also welcome, everyone was drinking happily, and the sound of feasting and drinking could be heard in the distance.
Not only is the palace brightly lit, but there are also many more torches than ever before at the gates that enter the palace.
It was as if the gates of the entire city wall were shining as if it were day, as if it were not night.
Although the guards guarding the door were still vigilant, they were all a little more relaxed than before on the New Year's Eve, talking and laughing about these interesting things.
Men's topics are always inseparable from women, and the men guarding here are now discussing which chick in the green building is more flavorful.
These are the only topics these big men have, or you can get them to talk about Marxism-Leninism.
At this moment of neat footsteps, the guards did not pay attention. Because of usual habits, patrolling soldiers often pass by here.
However, the patrolling soldiers did not walk as usual, but stopped at the city gate.
The guard looked up and saw that this person was not an ordinary person, he was the capital of the inner palace and Zhang Qiong, the emperor's favorite general, these people were all under his control, but it was strange how he came from outside.
These people are also the elite of Ouchi, and this is the last barrier to enter the palace, so they are not guarded by ordinary people.
"Brothers, don't be busy, there is nothing else here in the future, just to treat the brothers, the brothers have been very worthy of my old Zhang this year, today I have brought a lot of good wine, brothers drink to your heart's content."
Zhang Qiong stepped forward, patted the guard's shoulder with a smile and said.
The guards were slightly stunned, and no one could figure out which one they were singing today. What's going on, who doesn't know that this general Zhang is notoriously iron-faced and selfless.
On weekdays, everyone is to stick to their duties, and they must not neglect their duties, who dares to drink is looking for death.
Now it is strange how the general himself let them come to drink, but no one dares to say anything.
But suspicion is suspicion, and he really can't read the general in front of him with a small guard.
Among them, some bold people were afraid that this was Zhang Qiong's temptation, so they smiled at Zhang Qiong and smiled:
"General, your beloved brothers have understood it, but we also have our own responsibilities, if we drink alcohol, we have no way to explain to the court, right?"
Although these people are under Zhang Qiong's control, they can't lose their heads in confusion, can they?
"The consciousness of the good brothers is very high, and General Ben has also taken this into account, you have been guarding here every night for half a year, and it is very hard."
"Today is the New Year, and Ben has decided to come to the other brothers to take your place, so each of you should bring a jar of wine home."
After Zhang Qiong finished speaking, she patted the guard's shoulder, and Zhang Qiong said with a smile:
"Your vigilance is very high, General Ben is very happy, you do a good job."
"Thank you Brother General upstairs, open the city gate General Zhang has given our brothers a holiday today, we can go back, and each of us has a jar of wine."
With the shouts of the guards, there was a commotion on the tower, and then the gates slowly opened, and in a few moments, they were completely opened.
The guard who was questioning just now made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Qiong, and walked in behind Zhang Qiong.
Zhang Qiong waved his hand at the back, leaving a person in charge of the gatekeeper, and walked up to the city wall first.
After handing over all the formalities, Zhang Qiong waved his hand violently, and the left guard soldiers suddenly attacked, putting down all the guards on the city wall.
Some people who were lucky enough not to be knocked down only fainted after a moment's effort, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be killed with one blow, and even if he could do it, the smell of blood would be discovered.
After inspecting the circle and seeing that there was no other movement, Zhang Qiong ordered someone to open the city gate.
As soon as the door opened, a team of about a hundred people came out of the outside, and these people were not many in number, but they all seemed to be elite people.
One of them was slightly chubby with a slight smile on his face, and the others followed him.
This person is actually the current military department Shang Huang Fuxing, after Cao Bin was forced down by Zhao Guangyi, the original military department left Lang Huang Fuxing temporarily replaced Shang.
Today he was supposed to go to the banquet in Jixian Palace, but he didn't go because he was on sick leave.
It's an honor to say that you can't participate because you're sick, and no one will say anything if you don't go.
But no one could have imagined that he would be here, and that he would bring down the men who were guarding the last barrier of the palace.
The two of them were followed by a dozen guards who exuded a violent aura, and then looked behind them were some people in night clothes.
However, their faces are all exposed, and there are none, if the tiger or Dong Zhenhai is here, they will definitely be surprised.
Many of these people are today's martial arts masters, and if these masters are placed on the rivers and lakes, they are all famous figures.
What are they doing behind Huang Fuxing, is it his subordinates, it's a bit incredible.
Seeing more than 100 people coming, Zhang Qiong hurriedly walked down the city wall, came to Huang Fuxing, and said respectfully:
"Young Master, this is the only place to enter and exit the palace, and now it has been controlled by us, you can rest assured."
Zhang Qiong actually called him young master, what is going on, is Zhang Qiong originally Huang Fuxing's person, this is ......
"Well, I'll reward you for your deeds when the time comes, don't worry, I won't treat you badly, let your people stay here, let's go and kill all these ministers."
Huang Fuxing said excitedly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime meeting for him, all the ministers are basically there, as long as he controls it, his major affairs will be half over.
"Hmph, I'll let Zhao Guangyi do it first, and then we can also take advantage of it, we have to wait and see what happens, let Zhao Guangyi do that praying mantis, and we'll watch the show later."
Huang Fuxing means that they will watch a good show first, and the name of this play is called Praying Mantis Catching Cicada.
