Chapter 77: Yun Chuhan was assassinated
"There are assassins! Protect the king! ”
There was a cacophony of voices in the barracks.
Yun Chuhan slept in his clothes, and when he heard the movement outside, he immediately stood up and drew his sword.
Yan Che's tent was next door, and he was the first to rush over.
Suddenly, a dark shadow entered the tent.
"Lord be careful!" Yan Che drew his sword and rose.
After a few rounds, the Assassin clearly had the upper hand. He hurried out of the camp. Yan Che hurriedly chased after him.
The assassin's speed was fast, and Yan Che was in hot pursuit. Chased into the nearby woods, the Assassin suddenly disappeared.
Yan Che searched cautiously and carefully, but there was no trace of the assassin.
"It's broken! Turn the tiger away from the mountain! Yan Che suddenly remembered Yun Chuhan, and he hurriedly returned the way he came.
When Yan Che returned to the camp, the camp was in chaos. I don't know where a group of assassins came out, and they were fighting with the soldiers.
At this time, Yun Chuhan was already outside the tent. Although his martial arts are good, the other party is even better.
Yun Chuhan was a little struggling. Suddenly, one of them was unable to dodge, and he was stabbed in the chest by an assassin.
"Lord Wang!" Yan Che shouted and threw the sword out.
The assassin quickly drew his sword to dodge, but Yan Che's sword slashed his arm.
"Protect the prince!" Yan Che shouted and blocked in front of Yun Chuhan.
The sword was thrown, and Yan Che snatched a knife from one of the soldiers and slashed at the assassin.
"Keep your mouth alive." Yun Chuhan said with difficulty.
Two soldiers supported Yun Chuhan, and the other soldiers held knives or guns to protect him.
Although the Assassin's martial arts were high, they were not as good as Yan Che. After more than a dozen rounds, he was about to lose.
"You can't escape." After Yan Che finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounded him.
Seeing that the Assassin was about to be captured, he suddenly bit open the poison hidden in his mouth, then vomited blood from his mouth and fell to the ground.
"Oops!" Yan Che hurriedly walked over and touched his neck, which was already out of breath.
Yan Che couldn't care about so much, and hurriedly walked towards Yun Chuhan: "Quickly pass the imperial doctor, hurry up and help the prince in!" ”
At this time, Yun Chuhan had already fainted. Imperial Physician Zhao, who went out with the army, hurried in. He was slightly wounded, and his arm was cut and simply wrapped in a handkerchief.
Imperial Physician Zhao didn't care about the pain in his arm, so he quickly took out a silver needle and quickly pricked it down to stop Yun Chuhan's bleeding. Then treat the wound and bandage it.
After finishing these, Imperial Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Imperial Physician Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief, Yan Che dared to speak: "Imperial Physician Zhao, how is the prince?" ”
"Lord Yan rest assured, the prince has no worries about his life. The sword of the assassin is only a fraction of a centimeter from the heart. Thankfully, fortunately! Imperial Physician Zhao said.
Yan Che's hanging heart finally let go, and only then did he notice the bloodstains on Imperial Doctor Zhao's body and the blood-soaked handkerchief tied to his arm.
"Doctor Zhao, you're injured!"
Imperial Physician Zhao waved his hand, hand: "Weichen This is a skin injury, don't worry." Luckily, a few little brothers were patrolling around my tent. When they heard Wechen crying for help, they immediately rushed over. Otherwise, I'll die with a whimper. ”
Listening to Imperial Physician Zhao's words, Yan Che couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly said, "Come on, take Imperial Physician Zhao down quickly, and take care of the wound properly." In addition, move Imperial Physician Zhao's tent here. ”
After speaking, Yan Che turned to Imperial Physician Zhao and said, "Imperial Physician Zhao, don't worry, if the assassin comes again, with me Yan Che here, I will not let you be injured again." ”
"Thank you, Lord Yan." Imperial Physician Zhao hurriedly saluted.
Yan Che hurriedly returned the salute.
The two soldiers followed Imperial Physician Zhao out.
Several deputies who were waiting outside saw Imperial Doctor Zhao walk out, so they hurriedly walked in.
"Lord Wang, Imperial Physician Zhao. It seems that these assassins have come prepared. At this time, if the enemy comes, it will be a bad thing. Yan Che looked at Yun Chuhan, who was still unconscious, and was extremely anxious.
"Generals, the prince is fine, he needs to rest. The last general will stay and take care of the prince, and bother the generals to go and see the assassins. Yan Che said politely.
The lieutenants asked a few questions and left the tent.
***
In the early morning, before the capital was bustling, the quiet picture was broken by a voice.
"Eight hundred miles expedited! Eight hundred miles expedited! "A soldier in armor, holding a small triangular red flag in his hand, galloped on horseback.
When the guards on the tower of the city gate saw it, they hurriedly shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles in a hurry, open the city gate!" ”
The gates opened, and soldiers roared past on horseback.
When the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter arrived at the palace, the emperor had just gone to the early court.
"Your Majesty, eight hundred miles are urgent!" A guard hurried in, holding a letter.
Gonggong Xue hurriedly walked down, took the letter from the guard's hand, and hurriedly walked back to hand it to the emperor.
The emperor hurriedly opened the letter, his brows furrowed.
The ministers below looked at the emperor's solemn expression and guessed what was going on.
After reading the letter, the emperor raised his head and looked at the courtiers below.
"Last night, an assassin attacked the barracks. The king of Chu was seriously injured and unconscious. Imperial Physician Zhao was also injured. Now the dragons are leaderless! ”
Hearing this, Yun Muqing was proud in her heart, but why was she seriously injured. Yun Chuhan is not dead yet. His next step was to ask to go on the expedition.
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Yun Muqing just wanted to stand up, but was preempted by Yun Chenhuan.
"Father, my sons are willing to go to the north, go into battle, and defend the northern border of my Daning!"
As soon as Yun Chenhuan said this, the courtiers were surprised. The emperor was also very surprised.
Yun Chenhuan continued: "Father, the wind and frost on this border are the wind and frost of the people. The wind and frost of the people is the wind and frost of the father. For so many years, the wind, frost, rain and snow experienced by my sons were all shielded by my father and third brother. So all these years, nothing has made me sad. This time, please let the sons share the worries for their father and the third brother! ”
Looking at Yun Chenhuan's resolute appearance, the emperor suddenly remembered that since he was a child, he had never been like this. And this appearance is very similar to Yun Chuhan.
Yun Muqing hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, the fifth brother has no experience in going on expeditions, and I am afraid that it will not work if I go into battle to kill the enemy." If the retainers are willing to go, they will definitely kill the enemy soldiers and protect the border of Daning, so that the people will no longer be afraid. Share your father's worries! ”
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Father, second emperor, fifth brother, he has never gone on an expedition, and he didn't have a chance before, didn't he?" ”
Everyone looked and saw the eldest princess Haoyu walking in in a military uniform. However, the saber at his waist has been removed.
The emperor frowned, was taken aback again, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back?" ”
Hao Yu knelt down and said, "Erchen greets my father." Long live my father, long live, long live. ”
After kowtowing, Hao Yu raised his head and said to the emperor: "Father, the son and the son will return to the palace with the horse." ”
The emperor stood up anxiously, lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Nonsense! The princess is provincial, and she has to hand over the fold up. What about the colt? ”
But even if the voice is lowered, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can hear it.
Hao Yu replied: "Back to my father, the concubine said that it was not etiquette to go directly to the palace, he insisted on waiting outside, and his sons couldn't pull him over, so he simply let him go." ”
The emperor was angry and loving, pointing at Hao Yu, not knowing what to say.
"Father, the army cannot be left without a master for a day. Please go with the fifth brother! Hao Yu said.
"Father, please give permission!" Yun Chenhuan knelt down.
"Father, don't ......"
Yun Muqing stopped him, but the emperor waved his hand and signaled him not to say any more.
A Yun Chenhuan, the emperor is really worried. However, there is Hao Yu.
The eldest princess Haoyu is the emperor's favorite daughter. Her biological mother, Concubine Xian, died of illness two years ago.
Like her mother, Hao Yu was a daughter who grew up on horseback. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, proficient in riding and archery, and his personality is as cool as a man.
It is because of pampering, so piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knitting and embroidery, will not be, and if you don't want to learn, you won't learn. There is only one thing that gives the emperor a headache, that is, he is a little casual in terms of etiquette.
The emperor walked around, then stopped, as if he had made up his mind.
"Okay, King Chen, I'm done. Hao Yu, you are the deputy general. You two, let's go. I order you to bring back the future prince of Daning to me in peace and security! ”
"Yes, Father." The two kowtowed at the same time.
Yun Muqing felt that her head was about to explode at this moment. If Yun Chuhan doesn't die, he will be the prince when he comes back.
Hao Yu left the palace and did not go back to the princess's mansion, but went straight to the palace of the king of Chu.
***
Li Jiujiu was drinking sour plum soup in the house when he suddenly heard a noisy sound outside.
Outside the Winter Snow Courtyard.
Two guards stopped in front of the door, and they were not afraid.
The temperament of this eldest princess of Haoyu, I'm afraid that few people in the capital don't know. When I got married, it was full of turmoil in the city.
Four years ago, Hao Yu was still young, but Concubine Xian was seriously ill. In order to let her recuperate with peace of mind, the emperor carefully selected among the princes and nobles, dignitaries and nobles. In the end, I finally picked out a candidate with good character, appearance, temperament and temperament.
However, Hao Yu was unwilling. The person she already admires in her heart is Han Shuozhi, the second son of the Dujun family.
That Han Shuozhi is a literati and does not enter the officialdom. The emperor saw him once, and felt that he was weak and unambitious, so he refused.
Unexpectedly, Hao Yu had to marry him, and it was a stalemate for a long time. Eventually, she went on a hunger strike and fainted.
Concubine Xian finally gave in and persuaded the emperor to be fine as long as she liked it. Such a literati will not bully Hao Yu.
The emperor felt sorry for his daughter, and at the same time thought about Concubine Xian's body, so he nodded.
Hao Yu was so beautiful and earth-shattering that he married to Dujun. Two years ago, they had a son.
The emperor loves his daughter, and whoever he marries is married. However, the marriage is too powerful. This matter, the people of Daning discussed it for a long time before it subsided.
"Princess, you can't go in!" The guards looked at Hao Yu and could only stop it.
"Get out of the way! I heard that Chicheng can enter, then I can enter too! Hao Yu glared and kicked away a guard.
The other guard dodged away.
Hao Yu kicked the door open and broke in.
Li Jiujiu stood up and was walking out with Mrs. Liu, but saw a somewhat familiar woman walking in.
A bad feeling welled up in my heart for a long time.
