Chapter 389: Tooth Extraction from the Tiger's Mouth
Blood oozed out.
The red color stimulated Cui Hua's eyes, causing his slender eyes to expand and round. He turned over and pinched Zexi's chin, almost crushing Zexi's chin, and said excitedly: "Eat people, little wolf cub!" Very good! β
He actually laughed.
Zexi also smiled at him.
Still so innocent.
Cui Hua is really strange: why is this little guy laughing like this? The mystery in my heart is like the clouds in the sky before a rainstorm, gathering more and more.
He's going to get to the bottom of it!
However, others did not let him get his wish.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
He shouted impatiently, "What's the matter? β
In normal times, his subordinates would never dare to disturb him, but now is an extraordinary time, and he estimates that there is something big, so he asks.
Outside replied: "Commander Qin has something to do. β
Cui Hua let go of Zexi with a gloomy face and stayed down.
"Someone."
A forbidden army came in from outside.
"The general commands."
"Take this kid away and lock him up with those slaves. No one is allowed to let him out without the orders of General Ben! β
"Yes, General."
Zexi escaped and was taken away.
Cui Hua left the small building and returned to the front of the general's mansion, and some of his subordinates came down to report on the military situation, and then checked the military affairs, and never slept all night.
On the other side, Li Hanyao also did not sleep.
Originally, she had already gone to bed, and she slept with her eyes closed for a while, then suddenly turned over and sat up again, calling "Ling Guard." β
Ling Han hurriedly came in and went to the bed.
Li Hanyao looked at him and asked, "In case General Cui tells the emperor about tonight, do you think the emperor will offend our family?" β
Ling Han comprehended: "Brother Zhuang rest assured. You didn't know about it, and besides, you had good intentions, and you wanted to inspect it for the emperor, how could the emperor blame you? At most, I will teach you a few words so that you don't act recklessly next time. β
Li Hanyao breathed a sigh of relief and said reassuringly: "That's what I said." Anyway, our family has made a meritorious contribution this time, and the emperor may not punish us severely. Besides, I don't know whether what General Cui said is true or false. Our family must tell the emperor about this. If there is really something, the emperor will reward him; If he lies, hum! β
Ling Han praised: "Brother Zhuang is loyal! β
Li Hanyao said with a straight face: "That's it." At this juncture, we are not wrong to have multiple hearts, lest he be bribed by the traitorous party. You come here......"
He lowered his voice as he spoke.
Ling Han approached her.
Li Hanyao explained to him like this.
Ling Han couldn't help but nod.
They acted like this, because Li Hanyao was guarding against someone secretly watching, so he first pretended to dispel the other party's doubts, and then explained Ling Han's task.
Ling Han said softly, "Brother Zhuang don't worry. β
Since these children entered the Li family, they no longer worry about living money, and their ambitions have been raised and constantly improved.
Li Hanyao lived up to expectations, took them to kill corrupt officials, break into the capital, and enter the palace, every action made their blood boil, and what they experienced was a major event that ordinary people might not be able to accomplish after decades of struggle.
Right now, they are in a tiger's den, and they will lose their lives at any time, but he is not afraid at all; Even if he died, he had no regrets!
He was not afraid, but he found that Li Hanyao was a little unsettled, and his expression was unprecedentedly dignified, which had not been like this in the palace before.
He thought that Li Hanyao was nervous, so he comforted her in a low voice, telling her not to be afraid, even if he didn't want to die, he would protect her well.
What a girl's house after all!
Ling Han felt a little heartache for his master.
These teenagers are often very conflicted: on the one hand, they admire and trust Li Hanyao very much, and they can do what others cannot, on the other hand, they pity her for being a woman, protect her with all their might, and feel that it is normal for her to be scared and nervous.
Li Hanyao was indeed nervous.
Over and over again, she replayed the sounds she had heard in the forbidden area, which first made her ecstatic, then frightened, then hesitant, and finally, all kinds of complex emotions were forcibly suppressed by her and replaced by calm.
Her eyes unconsciously shot a dazzling light, her red lips did not move, and she squeezed out a whisper from between her teeth: "Don't be careless!" This trip to the capital is coming to an end, and I don't want to fall short in the end. Be sure to succeed! β
Ling Han said in a low voice, "Yes." β
Li Hanyao lay down again.
Ling Han didn't go out, so he stayed in the room.
On the other side, Zhou Wei'an is also in action.
Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, Cui Hua's henchmen sent to the city came back with the news: the emperor was indeed trapped in the palace. Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan have already taken control of the imperial city and escorted all the civil and military officials into the palace. The Queen Mother passed away last night......
One message after another stunned Cui Hua.
"What about the emperor?"
"I don't know."
The situation was bad, Cui Hua couldn't help but be nervous, and secretly glad that he didn't rush to send troops, otherwise he didn't rescue the emperor, and folded himself in first. But the emperor is missing and saved; If it's too late, it's over if it's found by the rebel party first.
He summoned his confidants for urgent consultations.
Li Hanyao and Zhou Wei'an are there.
Because Cui Hua wanted to send someone into the palace to find out the news of the emperor, the best candidate was the "Dragon Guard" brought by Li Hanyao. He called Ling Han and the others to inquire about the rules and arrangements of the Dragon Praetorian Guards guarding the Imperial City.
"To whom do you belong to it?"
"General Tang."
"General Ben asks you which commander you are under the command of?"
"Zhang Qiang."
Seeing that Ling Han asked so carefully, he "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly pulled out a name at random, there are 30,000 Dragon Guards, one commander for every 1,000 people, a total of thirty, I don't believe that Cui Hua knows all the commanders.
Sure enough, Cui Hua's expression did not change, but he then asked, "Which deputy general is under the command of your army?" β
Ling Han was stunned.
He doesn't know!
He can't break it at will, because under the general of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, there are only two deputy generals, who were originally transformed from the left and right generals of the Dragon Praetorian Guard. That's a third-grade military attachΓ©, it's strange if Cui Hua doesn't know the name.
In a cold sweat, Ling Feng hurriedly said, "Wei Chichen." β
Ling Han nodded hurriedly, grateful in his heart.
Cui Hua still didn't care about the mystery between them, and continued to ask: "Where are you guarding in the imperial city, how many people are in each shift, and when will it be handed over?" Who can draw a topographical map of the palace? Or say something to each other, and General Ben asks someone to draw it. β
When Li Hanyao heard this, she suddenly felt bad.
In order to enter the palace, she did a lot of work and collected countless intelligence. Moreover, she didn't dare to pretend to be an important person, this time she pretended to be a Qincha, and it was also in the name of a small eunuch in Taimiao, and she couldn't say that she didn't know about similar things; Regarding Emperor Jiaxing and Lu Chang, because she had been following these two people, she knew the scene very well at that time, Cui Hua had no doubts, but the dragon guards played by Ling Han and the others were different, and they couldn't afford to be interrogated at all.
Li Hanyao has thought of countless possibilities of exposure, but he didn't expect this, which shows that "a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts".
But at this point, it doesn't matter.
It just so happened that she couldn't wait.
She smiled and snapped her fingers twice.
