Chapter 374: A Truly Faithful and Clever Slave
The evening breeze is slightly cool, since the man died, the prince's mansion has turned off the lights at night, there is no dinner and no night fireflies, and it has become a place that refuses all entertainment and laughter.
It was almost winter, and the maid got up and closed the window with dewdrops, only to find that sporadic rain had begun outside the window, and the rain was blown by the cold wind and drifted onto people. Dew closed the window and said to the princess Qingjiang, who was still reading and embroidering: "It's raining, the weather is cold, the princess and the girl should rest early." ”
Qingjiang put down the book and stretched to stand up, just as he was about to pour himself a cup of tea when he heard some noise outside, as if something was bursting. How can anyone set off firecrackers at this time?
Walking into the garden, I saw a few small servants running in in a hurry, and their tone was a little impatient: "Young girl, there are many people outside, claiming to be officers and soldiers to arrest assassins, they have no official seals and tokens, and the small ones dare not open the door at will." ”
The subordinates of the Prince's Mansion were selected by Qingjiang, and a bunch of undercover ghosts were filtered out, and the remaining few were truly loyal and clever slaves. This little guy is not stupid, he knows that it is unreasonable to catch assassins so late, so he didn't rush to open the door no matter what the other party said.
"Good." Qingjiang nodded, "Go and gather all the slaves in the east courtyard, everyone will enter the house, no one will be allowed to come out without my order, violators will be killed!" ”
The little guy hurriedly ran away, and Cai Silin frowned and walked over from the other side, "Those people have already begun to break in when they see that we don't open the door, I just took a look at about two or three hundred people." ”
"Not a few." Qingjiang also frowned, he originally thought that it was not easy to cultivate his own soldiers, and the fifth prince would definitely be reluctant to send too many people, but he didn't expect that so many people would come.
Fang Liangzhen pushed the door out, and when she heard their conversation, her heart sank, looking at the delicate Princess Cai Silin, the prince of Ying, she couldn't help but be a little worried, there were too many people on the other side, and there would definitely be conflicts and deaths and injuries after breaking through the gate, this kind of picture is not suitable for women and children.
"Princess, this place is too dangerous, please take the little prince to leave this place temporarily to avoid injury."
Fang Liangzhen pondered for a while and shook his head, "No, this palace is the mistress of the palace, and there is no reason to leave you and flee alone." Don't worry, the palace and the prince will not walk around and cause chaos to you. ”
"Uh... I... I didn't say that the crown princess would cause us trouble! "Zeislin Daren, did he say something wrong? Why did the crown princess think she was going to cause them trouble? "I... No... That's not what it means..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Liangzhen barely pulled out a smile, but her pale face betrayed her nervous mood at this time.
Qingjiang ignored the two people in the treasure and quickly turned to leave, while secretly paying for it: This action seems to be reckless at this point in time, the prince has just "passed away" Prince Ying's mansion is attracting royal attention, and he dares to make trouble. Although catching a thief at night seems to be reckless, it is very smart and reckless, first, you can find out if the prince has really returned to the house, and second, if Fang Liangzhen is afraid of escaping, they will have a lot of time to turn the prince's mansion upside down, whose study has no secrets? Not to mention the Prince's Mansion. Third, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, even if you can't find the prince, you can kill Fang Liangzhen and the little prince, and remove a hidden danger of grabbing the throne and revenge in the future.
"The order went down, and all the slaves withdrew to the east courtyard, moved all the firewood to the west garden, and blocked the entrances and exits on both sides." He walked quickly, his white cloak drawing a neat arc behind him, "Gather all the horses to ambush on both sides of the West Garden, Prince Ying's Mansion is not a place where they can come whenever they want!" ”
Shocked by Qingjiang's ruthlessness, Cai Silin froze for a moment, came back to his senses and quickly ordered a few good protectors to protect the crown princess, and rushed to carry out the task by himself, Fang Liangzhen watched the white back go farther and farther away, and tightened the embroidered handkerchief in his hand.
There was already a team of men and horses waiting at the gate of the front yard with bows, and the gate of the palace was so banging that the three thick gate latches had been broken off, and the last one was already crumbling.
"This means bringing siege equipment..."Qing Jiang turned his head slightly and pulled out his waist knife and pointed forward, "Archer, prepare!" ”
"Heh... It's a tension that hasn't been felt in a long time. He chuckled, his smile shining against the cold night and the cold moon.
Unbearable for a long attack, the door latch finally broke, and the black-clothed people instantly poured into the Prince of England's mansion like a tide, who knew that as soon as the door broke, they were greeted by arrows, and the people in the front row were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and the people in the back row were frightened, it turned out that the other party had already prepared.
"Shield! Kill! I don't know who lowered his voice and ordered, "None of them will be left!" ”
The black man raised a round rattan shield to resist the arrows, and as soon as he entered the door, he exchanged hands with the men and horses lying in ambush on both sides of the gate, and the sound of swords clashing between the two armies in the darkness was endless.
Tonight is moonless and the night is dark and snowing, and there are no modern lamps and lanterns, this time is almost invisible to human beings, and even a well-trained army cannot resist the innate lack of eyesight of human beings, so what this small army of three hundred people does not know is that they are fighting their own people from beginning to end.
As soon as the gate was broken, Qingjiang withdrew most of the archers, leaving only a few people on the roof to continue the attack, and he sneaked into the enemy camp that was already a little chaotic because he was attacked, and made trouble everywhere, stepping on this person and slashing that person, human beings can't see clearly doesn't mean that he can't see clearly, poor, short knives and knives have always been the most suitable knives for night combat.
Relying on his light posture and high mobility, Qingjiang successfully entered the enemy formation and turned around and killed, although it was inevitable that there were some colors on his body, the bloody breath well stimulated the madness of the sword Fu Shen, the weather was cold, but Qingjiang was so excited that he sweated slightly. He is a practical knife, killing is instinct and nature, and after living in peace for too long, he now longs for blood like his master, and misses the pleasure of warm blood pouring on the cold body knife.
The excitement raised his spiritual power to the extreme, and in the dark night, the enemy soldiers only saw a pair of eyes shining with a strange light of one red and one gold, and those strange eyes with a smile often flashed, and it was a person who died.
After a while, the enemy troops who were in a disorganized position reflected through the faint light of the snow found that they were depleting themselves, there was no so-called ambush army here, only a few archers on the roof, and a fast and unpredictable figure was attacking them. Judging from the silhouette, it was true that the figure was indeed a person, but they had never seen a person's eyes glow.
The situation is unknown, and I don't even know if the other party is a human, a ghost, or something, but the task must be carried out, and it is still a mission that can only succeed and not fail. The little commander gritted his teeth, just at the gate he had already consumed a small half of his manpower, and the rest of these people could not be wasted.
