Chapter 85: Assassination
Chang Wan stayed awake all night, she was restless, the Nine Princes had returned from the northwest, this was really not the so-called good news she wanted to hear.
She wanted to know more about the situation in the northwest, and wanted to know when the general would return. What worries her even more is that the Nine Princes actually asked her to investigate Madame, she didn't dare to think much about this matter, although it is not clear what the purpose of the Nine Princes is, it must not be a good thing.
In order to hide people's eyes, Chang Wan arranged for Peony to secretly observe every move in the main courtyard, she thought that a maid would not be able to find anything, and she could also give an account to the Nine Princes when the time came.
A guard passed through the walls of the palace and arrived at the palace compound. The emperor sat in front of the bookcase and flipped through the chapters, heard the movement, raised his eyes, saw the person who came, and immediately stopped the movement in his hand, and at the same time the guard knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the emperor immediately called him to get up. The man got up, took out a letter from his bosom, held it above his head, and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took the letter, opened it, read it carefully, his expression was unknown, and asked, "Is she okay?" The guard bowed his head and replied, "It's business as usual, and it doesn't arouse suspicion." The emperor looked at the contents of the letter, pinched his eyebrows, and waved his hand to signal the visitor to step back.
The hall was surprisingly quiet, and the emperor retreated from the eunuch who was serving tea beside him, and after the eunuch walked away, a masked warrior who heard the emperor's edict came out and leaned over to obey the order.
"You go and check if it's true", the emperor said to the masked warrior, and the masked warrior was ordered to retire and fly out of the apse.
The ninth prince recovered from his illness and was in good spirits, he went out to hang out with Ji Heng, and after shopping, he went directly to Wanhualou, and the people who drank were five and six, drunk and numb. Ji Heng was full of nonsense, he said: "It's still the girl Shui Ling of Bangyue Tower." ”
The Ninth Prince took over the conversation, "Then why don't you go to Bangyue Tower?" ”
Ji Heng remembered the incident a long time ago, and his heart palpitated, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, he was not ashamed, "The current girl in Bangyuelou is not good, she can't compare to that Keke!" At the mention of Keke, Ji Heng recalled the things that they did when they forcibly broke into her room that day, and the tragic situation has changed to this day.
Seeing Heng Ji's reaction, the Nine Kings lowered a glass of wine to their throats, "Something that doesn't come out of nowhere!" Ji Heng was enraged by the words of the Ninth Prince, and the wine glass was squeezed in his hand and hissed, "If it weren't for that He Gongzi, he wouldn't have killed anyone, I would have killed him!" ”
The Nine Kings knew about this matter, and he secretly suppressed it, but that He Gongzi entered Guan Duyuan's mansion, and before he could find out who that person was, he was grounded by the emperor. As soon as he thought of Guan Duyuan, he was angry, his subordinates never regarded him as a commander, no one in their eyes, if they could catch his fault, they would definitely fix him well.
"Are you sure that Gongzi He is from General Dusk's mansion?" The Nine Kings asked Ji Heng, and Ji Heng nodded as if pounding garlic, "It's true, my people followed them until the General's Mansion disappeared, and I am very sure that the person is there." ”
I made up my mind that since I was in it, I would go to the meeting. Then fill the wine jug, drink a drunken life and dream to death. The days in the northwest are really hard, he hasn't drunk and eaten meat so aggressively for a long time, and he was restricted everywhere in the palace before, but now that he is finally free, he must make up for everything he hasn't eaten and drunk.
Two pots of wine went down, ordered a table full of famous dishes, invited two tender girls to accompany the wine, so comfortable, and said straightly: "This fairy life is good!" After being full of wine and food, the two of them swayed out of Wanhualou, at this time it was already dark, and the two of them made a gesture, and the meaning was clear.
The ninth prince was taken back to the mansion by the little girl waiting outside, and Ji staggered away from the other side.
There was silence in the General's Mansion, Chang Wan had been restless, and since she received the letter from the Nine Princes, her eyebrows had been beating non-stop. An ominous premonition wrapped her very tightly, Peony has been secretly spying on the main courtyard, in case something is found to be dangerous, especially the current situation of the lady, there must be no mistakes.
She sewed a sachet under the lamp without a stitch, and Peony found that the master seemed to be uncertain, and quipped: "You embroider the sachet every time, and the sachet embroiders a drawer, and I don't know who you want to embroider it for." ”
Chang Wan stopped the needle and thread in her hand and said strangely: "Who is embroidery for, who do you say embroidery is for, do you wear my sachet or less?" Peony pretended to be embarrassed, and reached out to take the unfinished sachet in Chang Wan's hand, "Then this is also mine", after saying a good smile at her master, Chang Wan blocked her outstretched hand, and said busily: "It's yours, it's yours, it's yours if it's embroidered." ”
The two made a fuss under the lamp, and Chang Wan instructed Peony to find her pair of emerald jade earrings, and she continued to embroider sachets.
Suddenly feeling that there was movement in the house, she quickly put down the embroidered sachet in her hand, got up and looked outside. The two people in her courtyard had also discovered it, and immediately turned over to the roof and fought each other.
Shu He was reading a military book under the lamp, and was fascinated by it, when he suddenly felt something unusual on the roof, and immediately raised his vigilance. He Huan is also a person who knows martial arts, and he has already noticed it, so he immediately pulled Shuhe inside, wanting to hide people.
Shu He hid behind the tent inside, He Huan went out to see what was going on, just opened the door and a black man came with a knife, He Huan was almost kicked over, fortunately she was small and clever, and in a flash, the person fell into the void.
He Huan pulled out a double-edged short knife from his waist with his backhand, and the knife came out of the sheath and swept across the face of the man in black, and the two were entangled.
There were five or six black-clothed men on the roof, and they were fighting with the generals who the general had secretly placed in the mansion, and the battle was fierce, but the black-clothed men gradually fell behind.
Chang Wan was snooping in the dark, not daring to make a noise, so many people in black went straight to Madame's room, it seemed that they had premeditated and had already investigated. She has a bad heart, is she the person of the Nine Princes? In this way, it is absolutely possible, she didn't think much about it, she wanted to open the door and go out, but was pulled by Peony, Chang Wan looked at Peony in horror, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
There was a fierce fight in the house, and he was all looked at by another masked man in the distance, his face hiding behind the mask and laughing, muttering to himself, "God help me!" The masked man changed directions, flew behind the Shuhe courtyard, and landed quietly, his martial arts were quite good, and he didn't make the slightest sound.
Shu He hid behind the tent, secretly spying on the black-clothed man who was fighting with He Huan outside the door, and suddenly felt bad, and a masked man rushed in through the back window, and the sword in the masked man's hand stabbed straight into her face.
said that it was too late, Shu He easily picked up the curtain in his hand, twisted it into a rope, wrapped the opponent's sword, and couldn't help shouting, "What a sound!" ”
The strength of the masked man's hand increased, and he continued to twist along the winding curtain rope, the blade was too sharp, and the rope twisted into the curtain was quickly twisted into pieces. Seeing that the sword stabbed at her again, she didn't care about hiding her martial arts, there was a stool not far away, and when she flew up, she kicked the stool over, and the masked man swung his sword and slashed at the flying stool, and the stool was instantly cut into several pieces, and the tip of the sword was swept away, and a large stool fragment flew towards Shuhe, and she flew away to dodge.
Hearing that there was movement inside, He Huan was anxious, and slashed at the arm of the man in black, a stream of blood gushed out, and the man in black saw that he couldn't beat him, so he escaped, if he hadn't heard movement in the room, He Huan would not have let him go.
He Huan returned to the room and saw a masked man's sword stabbing at Mrs. menacingly, she didn't have time to think about it, the double-edged short knife in her hand immediately struck, swept over like a whirlwind, and aimed straight at the masked man's waist, and the person also flew close to Mrs.
The masked man withdrew his sword, the sword rotated with his wrist, and when the short knife was about to approach him, his sword picked up the short knife from the middle position, and the short knife returned to He Huan's hand, she protected her wife behind her, and with all her strength, she threw out a double-edged short knife, and the short knife attacked the masked man like a flying saucer.
The masked man rose into the air, flipped in mid-air, and fell straight behind Shuhe, with the intention of holding her hostage, He Huan's heart was not good, and he didn't wait for the short knife to return to his hand, committed to a sweep, and stood in front of Shuhe.
Shu He is not a vegetarian, seeing that people are so fierce, he casually caught He Huan's short knife that swirled back, the short knife was in his hand, and he did a backflip over He Huan, and with He Huan's shoulder, he used a little force to transport the strength of his whole body, and the short knife flew out and slashed straight at the masked man's left shoulder.
He Huan didn't have time to exclaim, he took advantage of the momentum, flew up and kicked the masked man's chest, and the masked man's counterattack against Shu He was blocked by He Huan's horizontal kick before he could play, but the strength was not enough, the whole person was bounced out far away, fell heavily to the ground, and spat blood in an instant.
Seeing this, Shu He didn't have time to save He Huan, pulled out the hairpin on his head, waved his hand, and the hairpin stabbed the masked man like a sharp sword. The masked man did not continue to entangle, and then spun half a circle, and the hairpin was fiercely fixed on the pillar he had moved, with a loud bang. The masked man flew into the air, rushed out of the window, and disappeared into the night sky, Shu He chased to the window, wanting to chase out, thinking that He Huan was injured, he immediately turned around and helped He Huan who was still lying on the ground.
