Chapter 137: He Shengnan's identity is exposed
Chapter 137 He Shengnan's identity is exposed
They walked for about an hour, and Yang Mubai always felt uneasy in his heart. Could it be that something happened to Pei Shengyuan?
She asked Qiuyue: "Qiuyue, is there something wrong with the emperor?" ”
Qiu Yue said: "Queen Mother, don't worry! He didn't have an accident, he was fine. ”
Yang Mubai asked again: "Then why doesn't he come to see me these days." ”
Qiu Yue said: "He's busy! We'll be back in the palace soon, and you'll know when the time comes. But you have to be mentally prepared, he has a big surprise for you! ”
Yang Mubai asked: "What's the matter, you are so sneering, it makes me very uneasy." ”
He Shengnan said: "Queen Mother, in fact, it's nothing, Qiuyue blames the emperor for not coming to see you, and revenge for you!" ”
Yang Mubai still wanted to ask, but seeing that they were all secretive, he stopped asking. Wait another half a day and return to the palace, they will definitely not be able to hide it anymore.
She hung her heart like this and returned to the palace nervously.
After another hour or so, the group came to a narrow mountain road. On both sides are towering mountains that stretch for miles, and are overgrown with trees and flowers. Those colorful flowers compete to bloom. From time to time, a fresh breeze blows, you can smell all kinds of flowers, and the branches rustle under the wind. There were also many birds in the trees, chirping happily. It's a dreamlike view.
In the middle of these high mountains, there is only one official road that can be passed. On weekdays, there are also many pedestrians on this road, but the temple has blocked some of the linings, and now there is no one on the road or a horse-drawn carriage.
Yang Mubai lifted the curtain and wanted to see the beautiful scenery outside. He Shengnan immediately put down the curtain and said, "Queen Mother, you have recovered from the cold, so don't blow the wind!" ”
Yang Mubai said regretfully: "Hey, such a beautiful scenery, I can't even look at it, it's a pity!" ”
Ping Ping said: "Huang Eniang, you often travel outside, are there any beautiful scenery you haven't seen?" ”
Yang Mubai said: "How can you see the beautiful scenery, different scenery has different beauty." ”
He Shengnan said: "I'll go to see Qiuyue, after this road, I can rest for a while." Fifth princess, you talk to the queen mother, she is bored. ”
Pingping smiled and said, "Aunt He, don't worry. I'll take care of them. ”
He Shengnan got out of the carriage, came to Qiu Yue's side and said, "Qiu Yue, I always feel that this road is not smooth, you should ask those guards to pay attention." ”
Qiu Yue said: "I also noticed it, I just told them. Don't worry, we'll protect the queen. ”
He Shengnan nodded, she walked to the carriage, but did not sit in the carriage again.
Autumn Moon told the guards to take their shields from the accompanying carriage and keep them on guard.
They slowed down and moved slowly.
After walking for a while, there was a sound of rustling in the woods on both sides, and He Shengnan said loudly: "Everyone be careful, there is an ambush." Protect the Queen. ”
Ping Ping said to Yang Mubai: "Huang Eniang, Mrs. Zhang, stay on the horse and don't move." No matter what happens, don't look out. ”
Yang Mubai was stupid, could it be that he had encountered an assassin again. The ambush I encountered in Yecheng before, now I have palpitations when I think about it. She nodded in response.
Ping Ping also got out of the carriage, and she and He Shengnan stood on the side of the carriage alone.
Some of the guards also walked over, guarding the carriage with shields.
A moment later, countless sharp arrows were shot from all directions.
Fortunately, the guards were prepared in advance, and only a few were slightly injured, and the other dozens were not injured.
He Shengnan and Pingping held shields and stood guard on both sides of the carriage, where the shields could not be blocked, and if there were arrows coming at them, they used their swords to block these flying arrows. Their movements are crisp and clean, and their postures are fast and light. Qiu Yue was dumbfounded when she saw it, what is the situation? Is He Shengnan's martial arts and Pingping's martial arts so high? Looking at this situation, she is a few grades higher than her martial arts.
The rain of swords did not stop, and the shields of about a dozen or so guards were broken, and the arrows fell.
He Shengnan and Pingping's shields also had a few arrows inserted, and if they continued to release arrows, their energy would also be exhausted.
But there should be more people on the other side, and they don't dare to attack rashly.
After a while, more than twenty more guards fell from the arrows, and now only about twenty of the guards who were still uninjured followed.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer arrows, and many people rushed down from all directions, all of them masked men in black. All look like well-trained killers. There are too many people, at least hundreds. The man in black at the head said, "Everyone, don't talk about killing." "Listening to the voice, it is not like a Central Plains person, like a foreigner, and his speech is not very clear.
He Shengnan said: "You must protect the queen mother." ”
The guards all gathered around the carriage, and a fierce battle began.
Yang Mubai covered his ears in the carriage and shrunk into a ball, his body trembling. Mrs. Zhang saw it, and he couldn't bear it, so he hugged her. Gently pat her on the back and give her comfort.
Yang Mubai leaned on her arms, and her body was obviously not shaking so much. In her life, she had encountered several times like this, Yecheng, and the Dark Sect, which made her very frightened.
The guards outside the carriage were all carefully trained by Zhang Shuo, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, but the other party was also a well-trained killer, and there were more of them. After about half an hour, all the guards were wounded or killed and fell.
The other party also folded dozens of people, and now there are about sixty people against Qiu Yue, He Shengnan and Pingping.
The leader sneered and said: "He Shengnan, you are really Kang Yujin's lover, have you learned all his martial arts?" ”
Qiu Yue looked at He Shengnan, and she didn't know what to feel in her heart, He Shengnan had actually deceived all of them before. Even Pei Shengyuan's temptation could be avoided. Her scheming methods are really incomparable to ordinary people. But she lurked beside Yang Mubai, whether she was really helping or had another purpose, she had to re-examine her.
He Shengnan sneered: "I'm not his lover, I have basically learned his martial arts." I don't bother to practice the part he kept in his hand. I also practiced a few hands on my own on the basis of his martial arts. He thought he could easily defeat me, but he didn't know that it would not be difficult for me to kill him. ”
The man in black said: "You Central Plains people are really insidious. Kang Yujin was deceived by you, and he also concealed from us the fact that he passed on his martial arts to you. ”
He Shengnan said: "Aren't you insidious? He was just coveting my body, and the things he did were not what I made him do at all. ”
The man in black laughed and said, "He Shengnan, Kang Yujin is dead, you can say whatever you want." If it wasn't for you, why did he kill those major generals? ”
He Shengnan said: "What does it matter to me who he kills?" I've never let him kill anyone. It's just that in front of He Ruoxi's grave, he said that the people who bullied her deserve to die. And he went to kill people, and what was he with me? ”
The man in black sneered, "You don't have to quibble anymore. No matter what you say today, we will kill you. I don't believe the three of you can stop so many of us. ”
He Shengnan said: "You can come and try it." ”
The man in black gave the order, and the killers besieged him again. They quickly killed a few, and the people behind them also rushed up one after another, and after about half an hour, Qiu Yue's physical strength gradually ran out, and those who killed continued to rush towards them as if they had not decreased.
He Shengnan fought with the leader of the man in black, and after a few hundred moves, the man in black was stabbed in the waist, and He Shengnan kicked him about half a foot away. She didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately went to Qiu Yue's side and helped her kill a few people in black.
Ping Ping is small, but her martial arts are extremely high, and her body is flexible, and those people in black can't take advantage of her. She also killed several men in black.
When the two sides were fighting at a stalemate, Sun Liang came over with a few followers. He didn't say a word, and fought with those men in black.
Pei Sheng received a secret report when he was far away, and Yang Mubai was already on his way back to the palace. In the statutory temple, there are people from the yamen outside, and there are part of Zhang Shuo's forbidden army inside, the assassin is not afraid to assassinate, but from the statutory temple to the palace, there are several mountain roads, where it is convenient to ambush, if you encounter a well-trained killer organization, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.
He asked Zhang Shuo and Yi Xu Lang for their opinions to see if they should go to the road to pick them up and return to the palace.
Zhang Shuo said: "Judging from the intercepted secret letters, they are not ready to do it yet. The queen should be safe on the way back to the palace. ”
Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if." Concubine Shi came to report this morning, and she seemed to be very happy. I don't know if it's because I'm happy to receive the favor or because of the other reasons. ”
Pei Shengyuan didn't think about it anymore, and immediately said, "You guys hurry up and bring all the people with you." I don't want that, I'm going to make sure they're safe. ”
Zhang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, so exciting, the drama of the past few days is in vain. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "I didn't spoil her. Since she was so happy, there must have been a plan. Even if this clue is broken, I will dig something out of her mouth. ”
Zhang Shuo wanted to stop it, but Pei Shengyuan's encounter with Yang Mubai was never something that could be persuaded by reason. He couldn't, so he had to gather some of the forbidden army and set out with him. They hurried to the legal temple road.
After all, Ping Ping was young, and after fighting for about a quarter of an hour, she could hardly hold on.
He Shengnan said: "Fifth princess, hurry up to the carriage and leave it to us here." Hearing this, Ping Ping jumped to the side of the carriage, and then walked to the carriage to rest.
With Sun Liang and his subordinates, they didn't have so much pressure for the time being, but Sun Liang's subordinates soon fell. And Qiu Yue can only barely protect herself, if she encounters a single killer, she can also play a game.
Now the main forces resisting the killers are only He Shengnan and Sun Liang.
After such a long time of fighting, He Shengnan also felt more and more powerless.
And there are about 20 of those killers, and the last rest are all killers with relatively strong martial arts, and they are becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
The black-clothed man led by him was injured and commanded beside him, and seeing that they were gradually defeated, he sneered: "He Shengnan, aren't you very powerful?" Kang Yujin is one of the most powerful martial arts figures in our Western Turkic State, and he is all played with by you. Didn't expect that, right? You will be planted in my hand today. ”
He Yongnan didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, she concentrated on finding some people in black.
Sun Liang also gradually felt physically exhausted, should he fold here today. He asked, "Katsuo, we are afraid that we will be more than lucky today, I really love you." Do you have half a crush on me in your heart? ”
He Yongnan said angrily: "General Sun, now is the moment of life and death, is it appropriate to talk about these stormy things?" ”
Sun Liang said: "Actually, you don't like me in your heart, right? I'm going to die for you, can't you tell me the truth? ”
Thinking of this time, Sun Liang did show that he admired her very much. is still working hard for her, and it is false to say that she is not moved. But she really didn't love him in her heart, but it was undoubtedly unwise to hurt him at this time.
He Shengnan said: "I have liked you, but you have a wife." And I don't like husbands and children, so I never want to get married. ”
Sun Liang said happily: "With your words, I am relieved." Even if it's a fake, I'm happy. ”
He Shengnan killed another man in black, and then said with a smile: "Fool." ”
When Qiu Yue attacked a man in black, her physical strength was really exhausted, and she was kicked out by the man in black. And there were a few men in black there, who quickly attacked Qiuyue and wanted to stab her to death.
He Shengnan exclaimed, "Qiuyue, pay attention to your back." After saying that, he came to her side, wanting to get rid of those killers.
But two fists are invincible to four hands, and a man in black behind her is about to slash over with a sword.
Qiu Yue saw that the sword was about to slash at her head, so she blocked it in her face with her left hand.
At this moment, Pei Shengyuan and the others rushed over, and Zhang Shuo was so frightened that his face turned white, and he forgot to react for a while. Xu Lang threw the sword in his hand over, and the sword flew over and cut off the hand of the man in black.
Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang hurriedly jumped off their horses and rushed over to help. They were relieved to see the rescuers coming.
He Shengnan couldn't care so much, and was still fighting with the man in black. She has been completely exposed, and I am afraid that this vicious battle is over, and more difficult problems await her.
The forbidden army and secret guards who came with Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang also quickly entered the fight.
Pei Shengyuan walked quickly to the carriage, he lifted the curtain and saw Yang Mubai shrunk in Zhang Taifu's arms in fright. He was very distressed, got into the carriage, and carried her from Mrs. Zhang's arms to his arms, he hugged her tightly, patted her gently on the back and comforted: "Mu Mu, I'm here." After kissing her on the head, I wanted to take her back from fear.
Ping Ping cried and said, "Father, why did you come, how thrilling you were just now!" ”
Pei Shengyuan touched her head again and said, "Father is late, so you are frightened." ”
Mrs. Zhang saw Pei Shengyuan's appearance, and the rumors seemed to be true, and the emperor was really affectionate.
The black-clothed man led by him was stunned when he saw this, Pei Shengyuan, weren't they in the palace? How could it be here at this time. Before he could react to what to do, He Shengnan tried his best, jumped behind him, and with a knife palm, the black-clothed man in the lead snorted and fainted.
He Shengnan said: "He is the leader, and he can be taken back for a good trial." After speaking, he went to help Qiuyue and rested on the carriage.
Qiu Yue asked: "Katsunan, have you pretended not to know martial arts all these years, are you tired?" ”
He Shengnan said: "I'm not tired, I just want to simply serve the queen." ”
Qiu Yue asked again, "Don't you have any other purpose?" Your Majesty, they all know that you are extraordinary in martial arts, have you figured out how to explain all this? ”
He Shengnan shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I am by the side of the queen mother, and I have no other purpose." I didn't want to hurt her. ”
Qiu Yue asked puzzledly: "With your martial arts and mind, you will make a difference in whatever you do outside the palace, why are you willing to be a maid in the deep palace?" ”
He Shengnan said with a smile: "At the beginning, I was sorry to avenge my grievances, and only the queen mother served me justice, so I did not hesitate to offend General Zuo. And I am alone, and I don't value fame and fortune, so it is better to guard the queen mother, and I will repay my kindness. ”
Qiu Yue asked again: "Then why don't you want to find a good man to marry?" ”
He Shengnan didn't know how to answer for a while, she didn't like men, what she loved deeply was He Ruoxi, but such feelings would definitely not be incomprehensible to the world.
She thought and thought for a while, and said, "I haven't met a man who makes me tempted. Not as lucky as you are to meet someone who loves each other. ”
Qiu Yue saw her like this, just because she was arrogant, and ordinary men couldn't look down on her.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang and their group took down all these black-clothed assassins, and those who were not dead, seeing that the defeat was decided, gritted their teeth and committed suicide.
Fortunately, the man in black led by him was knocked unconscious, and the poison in his mouth was taken down. When I returned to the palace, I had to be interrogated.
Zhang Shuo came to Qiu Yue's side and asked with concern, "Qiu Yue, are you okay?" ”
Qiu Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good that you came quickly, otherwise there would really be something." ”
She said to Xu Lang again: "Xu Lang, thank you." If it weren't for you, my left hand wouldn't be safe. ”
Xu Lang said: "What's polite, shouldn't this be?" You didn't see that Zhang Shuo was stupid just now. ”
Zhang Shuo said speechlessly: "The situation was urgent just now, you can't get my shortcomings and are not happy, right?" ”
Xu Lang smiled and said, "Who made you laugh at me before?" ”
Zhang Shuo sneered: "The past has made you worry about it for so long, and people who don't know still think that you have a crush on me!" ”
Xu Lang snorted repeatedly: "Zhang Shuo, you are so shameless." So disgusting words can also be said, how can I like men. ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, He Shengnan listened, and his face was very embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, Xu Lang said: "He Shengnan, I didn't expect you to be so good, how about we find a time to talk?" ”
He Shengnan smiled dryly and said, "Xu Lang, you have won the prize." My martial arts are average, not that powerful. ”
Xu Lang didn't follow, and hurriedly said: "Do you look down on me?" I can see just now, your martial arts are not ordinary. Why have you been hiding your martial arts skills all these years? ”
He Shengnan was speechless for a while.
Zhang Shuo said: "Xu Lang, what's the matter with you, you just want to learn martial arts, there are still a lot of things to deal with here." If you want to compete, there will be more opportunities in the future, so why rush for a while. ”
Xu Lang whispered, "Aren't they cleaning up?" Do you want me to do this? ”
Zhang Shuo: "......"
After a while, the dead were moved together and carried in wagons to mass graves and discarded. The wounded bandaged their wounds, and the Assassins were almost dead. There were also some who fainted, all tied up and thrown into a wagon.
Only then did Pei Shengyuan lead Yang Mubai out of the carriage. Pei Shengyuan looked at He Shengnan and asked, "He Shengnan, you are strong in martial arts, why do you want to hide it from me?" ”
He Shengnan knelt down and said: "The slave should die, because I couldn't save it at that time, so I wanted to hide this martial arts, and I didn't want to use it again in the future." That's why I didn't disclose martial arts. ”
Sun Liang also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, although Shengnan knows martial arts, she has never used martial arts to hurt others." ”
Qiu Yue also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Shengnan has a meritorious role in saving the queen's mother, and for the sake of her loyal service to the queen's mother for many years, you can spare her once!" ”
Pei Shengyuan asked Yang Mubai: "Mumu, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
Yang Mubai said: "Later, Shengnan has been serving me wholeheartedly all these years, and he has also paid a lot for peace and security. The merits and demerits are offset, just spare her this time! ”
Pei Shengyuan asked: "He Shengnan, several generals of Gao Canguo, did you kill them?" ”
He Shengnan said: "Returning to the emperor, it was the slave maid who did it. ”
When the people heard this, they were stunned. Several generals of Gao Canguo are strong in martial arts, but they didn't expect He Shengnan to kill the three of them alone. Her martial arts are really unfathomable!
Xu Lang also didn't have the mind to compete, and it was clear that his martial arts were not good at beating men.
Pei Shengyuan asked again: "Then the little prince also knows that you are strong in martial arts?" ”
He Shengnan said: "At that time, the little prince was anxious, he wanted to avenge the people of the imperial capital, but his own martial arts were defeated by them, and the slave also wanted to share the worries of the little prince, so he told him that his martial arts could defeat them." ”
Qiu Yue thought that the martial arts path of just Ping was very similar to He Shengnan, and she knew that she was lying. But she didn't want to expose her, but her face was very solemn.
Zhang Shuo noticed Qiu Yue's expression and knew that there must be something hidden in it. Then he said: "He Shengnan, you have to answer truthfully, this crime of bullying the king is to be killed." ”
Yang Mubai said: "Shengnan, you tell the truth. What the hell is going on? At that time, you were dressed as a man, and I thought that the body shape was very similar, but because of gender differences, I didn't dare to judge. Did An An really only learn about it recently? ”
Seeing them like this, He Shengnan just wanted to say something.
Ping Ping came over and said, "Father, Emperor's mother, Aunt He is reluctant to say, there must be her own reasons." She has been very good to us all these years, and she has never done anything harmful. and avenged the people of the imperial capital, and protected the emperor's mother. Can you stop asking her? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Then go back to the palace first!" We'll talk about that later. ”
At this time, Sun Liang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the queen." Weichen has always loved He Shengnan deeply, and wants to marry her as his wife, and ask the emperor and queen to fulfill it. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "General Sun, you have a meritorious service in saving the driver, but you already have a wife." If you want to marry He Shengnan, you also want her to be willing. ”
Sun Liang came to He Shengnan's side again and asked softly, "Shengnan, are you willing to marry me?" I promise that I will be good to you for the rest of my life. ”
He Shengnan said: "General Sun, you already have a wife, how can you marry me again?" ”
Her current situation, if Sun Liang spread the rumors again, Pei Shengyuan would definitely not let her stay by Yang Mubai's side anymore. Maybe they'll find a way to put her to death.
