Chapter 228: Casting a net and waiting for the prey
Assassins were indeed arranged in this narrow cave, and it was really a "narrow encounter". Li Chun resolutely stepped back, and the eunuchs and palace maids who served with him suddenly stood in front of him, putting on a posture of responding to the battle, obviously prepared for a long time.
The assassins were taken aback, but they still thought that since the guards in front and behind were separated, these eunuchs and palace maids were nothing, and the cold dagger stabbed at Liufu and the others.
These assassins have obviously undergone special training, and their moves are steady, accurate, and ruthless, but Li Chun has already seen from behind him that although they are sharp, they are not aimed at the vital parts, but focus on the tiger's mouth, ankles, knees and other positions, obviously the purpose is not to kill, but to weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness.
Okay, very good, it is not bad to train such a group of assassins who are good at disguise and good at close combat in just a few months, Li Chun showed a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
But Liufu obviously would not be so merciful, these palace maids and eunuchs made a move to kill without mercy, and although those assassins were relatively well prepared, they were still forced to gradually be a little scrambling.
Li Chun shook his head gently, this kid is still too soft-hearted.
But all of this happened in a very short period of time. Soon, the lead Assassin spotted the problem and began to make a killing move. More than a dozen assassins faced seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs, and Rao is close service husband around Li Chun was good, and he also began to slowly lose the upper hand.
There was a flash of white light, and the assassin leader's dagger slashed the throat of a eunuch, and blood spurted out, splashing the assassin leader's face warmly. He reached out and touched a handful of the blood that almost stuck to his eyes, and with a shake of his figure, he approached Li Chun.
Luofu hurriedly dodged the assassins who were pestering him, and stood in front of Li Chun, and the dagger in his hand quickly stabbed at the hideous assassin leader with a bloody face.
Unexpectedly, he was just a trick, and when Luofu stabbed at him, another of the most inconspicuous assassins immediately rushed sideways from behind Luofu to Li Chun's side.
It was too late for the Assassin of the Six Blessings to turn around again, so he had to watch as the Assassin pounced on His Majesty.
But somehow, as soon as the assassin pounced on Li Chun's side, the dagger in his hand had not had time to reach his neck, and suddenly fell straight backwards!
The leader of the assassins was shocked, and the moment he turned around, he was seized by Liufu, and the dagger pierced deep into his left chest, and immediately blood splattered, and he lost his breath in an instant.
Li Chun clapped his hands, suddenly raised his arm, and slowly took off a layer of film from his wrist. It turned out that he was wearing a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings, presumably quenched with poison, and as soon as he raised his hand to touch the assassin's hand, the assassin died of poison.
The assassins suffered several losses, and the situation was obviously reversed, and after a while, they were completely subdued by Leofoo and the others, leaving two alive, while Leofoo's men were only injured by three.
"Your Majesty, do you want to stay and go back for trial?"
Li Chun thought for a moment and frowned slightly: "Kill." ”
After dealing with this group of assassins, the guards behind slowly followed, asking His Majesty if he wanted to return.
This was expected, but in the face of the prepared Li Chun, this little trick was nothing at all. He lightly commanded, "Keep going." ”
Everyone protected His Majesty more closely this time, and with the experience of the past, the vanguard guards no longer dared to take it lightly, and carefully touched the stone walls on both sides before moving forward with confidence.
After walking for a while, a large karst cave appeared in front of me, which could accommodate about thirty or fifty people. Everyone thought that they could wait in this cave for a while, gather more people and then move forward, but Li Chun glanced at the cave and whispered to Liufu: "Mo Duo, go over quickly." ”
Liufu also smelled something dangerous in the cave, and immediately raised his vigilance, preparing to escort His Majesty through at full speed.
But as soon as Li Chun entered the scope of the cave, many people suddenly rose to the open space next to him, still masked, holding a long sword and stabbing directly at Li Chun.
This stabbing method is a bit strange, as if it is a very persistent way of rushing towards the target regardless of the consequences or whether it will hurt oneself.
Liufu had no choice but to protect Li Chun to the side to hide.
I didn't know that just a few steps to the side, I heard a strange noise, and His Majesty suddenly disappeared!
Luofu was stunned for a moment, looked at the big hole that suddenly appeared in the ground, and jumped down.
The drop was not very hard to the touch, and Lukfook quickly felt that he had fallen into a net, and it was a very strong, invulnerable web of asbestos.
At the moment when he landed at the bottom of the net, Lukfook jumped upwards on tiptoe, grabbed the edge of the net with one hand, and flipped out of the net like a loach.
This was a smaller space than above, and the moment he landed again, he saw that His Majesty was already standing in the corner.
People who have practiced martial arts often have the intuition to sense the danger in the air, and this is how Rokfoku feels at this moment.
At this time, their situation was a little passive, the guards were completely lost, and Luofu was a little anxious, but His Majesty still stood calmly with his hands sheared behind his back.
He was just waiting for the person behind him to show up.
In the Daming Palace, the snow has fallen a foot thick, and the concubine Niangniang is wearing the pure white fox fur that has been treasured for many years, standing under the eaves of the Zichen Palace to watch the snow.
She is in Zichen Palace, because this is the center of Daming Palace, which can be attacked and defended, and the spies don't have to enter the harem when they come to report the news, she can hear it for the first time.
Every hour, she sent a group of spies to keep abreast of what was going on.
Just now, the spies came to report that His Majesty and Luofu had lost their traces in the cave.
She knew that it was His Majesty's second time to go deep into the tiger's den in a more thrilling way.
In fact, in that mountain, His Majesty has already arranged it. Because it was the only way to go back and forth to worship the heavens, His Majesty had already ordered someone to explore the specific route and topography of that mountain, so he naturally knew what was going on in that cave. Even the specific place in the cave where people have been touched is clear.
He fell from that trap in order to draw the other party further.
The trap is small and can't do anything, so soon the other party will appear and take His Majesty out. There is only one exit to the trap, leading to a small village called Chenjiazhuang in the western suburbs, and in that Chenjiazhuang, the Guo family has already laid down fifty secret guards disguised as villagers.
Of course, Xue Qixi also knew about that exit. When His Majesty sends a signal of action to the Guo family's secret guards, the secret guards will quickly pass the news to Qixi, and then the Shence army will surround Chenjiazhuang and take down the opponent's people in one fell swoop.
Guo Yan did not follow His Majesty to worship the heavens, but the people of the Guo family have been placed in Chenjiazhuang, and he is also aware of the situation.
The voice of the young man behind him sounded, "Mother, it's cold outside, go in and rest." ”
Nian Yun turned his head, and the narrow phoenix eyes looked at him, and then looked at it again, Li Heng suddenly felt that there was a cold knife swimming against his skin, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Is it cold? It seems that I have long been used to it. Nian Yun seemed to be talking to him, but he seemed to be talking to himself, "The winter in this Daming Palace has always been so cold, and the snow is so big, covering up the cold. Who knows, it's colder, or the heart is colder! ”
Li Heng didn't dare to answer, so he took a small hand stove from Shiquan's hand and handed it to her, "Then mother...... Take the hand stove. ”
Nian Yun shook his head, turned around and continued to watch the large clumps of goose feathers and snow falling from the sky, and his voice was a little cold and disgusting, "What you should be worried about now is whether your father is cold or not." ”
Is he cold or not? He is the emperor, and there will always be no shortage of those who ask for warmth around him. It was as if he had always been invincible, like a god. And this time, he was determined to take on the challenge.
Li Heng suddenly felt a little unconfident, and looked up at his mother, but his mother's eyes were always just staring at the snowy void, and she didn't look at him anymore.
He mustered up his courage and whispered, "Mother, son...... The son promises not to hurt his father, he is the father of the child, he is the husband of the mother, and the son will ensure that His Majesty and his mother will spend their old age in peace......"
"Spend your old age in peace!" Nian Yun snorted coldly, turned his head, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate him, "This palace can see the things, you have been the emperor of your father for more than ten years, why did this palace raise such an unsuccessful thing for you!" ”
Li Heng couldn't help but start trembling. yes, why didn't he think of it, how did he overestimate himself? No wonder when they were distressed that they didn't have a chance to start, His Majesty "understandingly" sent the opportunity to the door, saying that they would go to worship the heavens for the first time!
It turned out that all this was a net cast by His Majesty, and he got into it so cleverly!
"This ......" he pouted and knelt in front of Nianyun, "Mother, the son is not malicious, the son is just ......"
Nian Yun was a little upset, and shook off his hand, "As your father's son, since you have done it, you should have that responsibility!" You can afford the victory of the event, and you can also bear the consequences of the failure, so that your father will not be flattened! ”
Li Heng lowered his head and chewed his mother's words carefully. Play? Could it be that His Majesty didn't blame him, but just played with him according to his wishes......
So, what does Your Majesty mean, is the person he wants to clean up...... Second brother?
Nian Yun didn't see the emotional change on his face, she took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and said to Li Heng: "That's it, your third uncle's people are in Chenjiazhuang, and when the time comes, they will adapt to the situation and control the situation." ”
Finally...... I'm still too tender. Li Heng kowtowed to Nian Yun, "Heng...... Thank you, mother. ”
Nian Yun sighed lightly, thought about it, and ordered: "Xuanguo and the horse enter the palace, there are some things, the palace still wants to ask him personally." ”
