Chapter 428: The Roadblock
Chu Mubai secretly said that it was not good, and when he stepped forward in two steps, the corners of Lin Gonggong's mouth were already foaming at the mouth.
Chu Mubai grabbed his body, and saw that there were three thin needles like cow mangs on the back of his neck, which were flashing with a faint and strange blue light.
"Who is it?" Chu Mubai forced Gonggong Lin to ask: "You should know who killed you." ”
Gonggong Lin tried his best to deliver the news, but he didn't expect that he would provoke a killing disaster for himself. is the so-called smart one, confused for a while, at a critical juncture, he underestimated people's hearts, he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, in order to protect himself, dare to kill people in broad daylight.
He wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, and raised his hand with great difficulty, probably trying to guide in a direction, but he was already powerless.
Decadently drooped down, and in an instant he was already dead of anger.
Such a powerful poisonous needle, it is simply a bloody throat.
All the guards were shocked, nervously and vigilantly looking around, beware of the hidden weapon that flew from somewhere.
Chu Mubai glanced around vigilantly, he didn't hear any movement, obviously, the person should not have left, still lurking in a hidden corner nearby.
He has profound internal skills, listens to the wind and discerns the position, recalls the direction from which the secret weapon broke through the air, and is close to a warm pavilion in the shade of a flower wall, where the masters of the harem rest. The low-hanging eaves are indeed a good place to hide.
Chu Mubai did not hesitate to stand up, like a bird, and rushed towards the eaves of the corridor that stretched out. At the same time, the palm has accumulated the strength to break the stone and open the monument.
A figure leaped up, rising like a wisp of smoke, clearly a woman. She was dressed in green clothes, covered with plain veil, and even her hair was covered in general, only revealing a pair of eyes outside, facing Chu Mubai, she waved her palms fearlessly.
The figure is petite, looking soft and weak, but as soon as the palm wind comes out, it is like a mountain and a sea, with a turbulent atmosphere, and it is close to the place where Chu Mu has a white face.
Chu Mubai had already taken precautions, but his shot was one step slower than that person, and he rushed straight up, and he lost two points of strength. As soon as the palm wind came out, although he easily took the opponent's palm, the opponent's palm wind was overwhelming, like a net, and when it swept over himself, it was like a sharp blade, so that he had to dodge.
Moreover, at this time, Chu Mubai found with sharp eyes that there was indeed a red birthmark flashing in the palm of the person's palm, which was extremely obvious.
It's her! Someone who wants to assassinate Yuehua using embroidery thread!
What Qian Jin said is true, it's her! Absolutely, yes!
Chu Mubai affirmed her identity, and was angry, how could he let her go easily? On tiptoe, with the force, the palm wind immediately continued to rush towards the opposite door mercilessly.
The opponent obviously has a solid kung fu foundation, and if he misses one blow, he will not be able to receive the second palm, and his strength will be weak. In the face of Chu Mubai's aggressive attack, he was in a hurry and gradually couldn't parry.
"You can't escape," Chu Mubai faced her with ease, calmly: "I advise you to be captured, don't ask for hardship." ”
The masked woman faced the Imperial Forest Army who had already swarmed over, without saying a word, her fingertips flipped over, and there was a brass tube the thickness of a thumb in her hand, and she raised her hand towards Chu Mubai.
Chu Mubai was startled, remembering the poisonous needle used by Shicai to assassinate Gonggong Lin, he knew that it was not good, and he didn't dare to rush forward and approach, swept back, and retreated to Zhangyukai.
Three poisonous needles have come one after another, Chu Mubai dodged in panic, and the poisonous needles grazed the corners of his clothes.
Just this dodge kung fu, the other party took advantage of his body to jump, and he had already dodged a few zhang away, his body was as light as a flocculent, and his light skills were obviously good.
"Chase!"
Chu Mubai gave an order, took the lead, and chased after the other party's figure.
The masked woman had obviously already thought of a way out, and she knew the terrain in the palace well, and after a few leaps, Chu Mubai and the others broke into the Jiaofang Hall before they could get closer. The figure flickered, and immediately disappeared.
Chu Mubai chased closer, and when he saw the plaque on it, he hesitated slightly.
If the road is really narrow, this assassin chose such a place to hide himself.
Any palace in this palace, he dares to break into, even if it is the Qianqing Palace, but only this Jiaofang Palace and Ruian Palace, he does not dare to act recklessly, if he breaks in over the wall and over the ridge, will he not be beaten by Concubine Ling?
The Imperial Forest Army was slow, and without the good skills of Chu Mubai and the mysterious man, they could only blask and chase after them below, and it was much too late to reach the Jiaofang Palace.
"Surround the Jiaofang Palace, don't let the assassins escape." Chu Mubai just groaned slightly, then made up his mind and commanded coldly.
The Imperial Forest Army received the order and immediately dispersed, surrounded the Jiaofang Palace, and blocked a flood.
He waved his hand at the guards beside him: "The assassin fled into the Jiaofang Palace, you go to the Qianqing Palace quickly, and invite the emperor to come over." ”
The guards received the order, and naturally knew Chu Mubai's concerns. This Ling Guifei can't be provoked, not to mention that General Chu and her have already had a holiday, so they must not be reckless. The emperor must come forward in this matter. As soon as he gave up his hand, he immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace to report the news.
The footsteps here are mixed, and the movement is not small, which immediately alarmed Concubine Ling, and the palace people panicked, and walked out proudly, seeing that it was Chu Mubai, he immediately frowned unhappily and said: "General Chu? What does that mean? ”
Chu Mubai waved his hand: "Qi Yu Ling Guifei, Weichen is arresting the assassin, and I saw her break into the Jiaofang Palace." Fearing that the assassins would be unfavorable to the concubine again, he ordered people to surround her. ”
When Concubine Ling heard that an assassin had broken into the Jiaofang Palace, she was shocked at first, and Orr was a little disdainful.
Because, it was not someone else who led the troops on the other side, but Chu Mubai.
Concubine Ling snorted coldly: "What? General Chu, the last time you failed to frame the assassin, this is to repeat the old trick, right? Still trying to accuse me of colluding with the Assassins? ”
Chu Mubai was a little anxious, lest those Imperial Forest Army soldiers were not alert enough, and then gave that person a chance to escape from the Jiaofang Palace.
Wei Chen categorically didn't dare, Shi Cai did have an assassin who assassinated Gonggong Lin and fled to the Jiaofang Palace, and all the brothers witnessed it with their own eyes. For the sake of Niangniang's own safety, she also asked the concubine Niangniang for permission, and Weichen brought people in to search for it. ”
Concubine Ling glanced back at the Jiaofang Palace, "hehe" sneered twice: "Search? You say that there are assassins and there are assassins? When is it your turn to be a general in this palace to search? When I am here, what is the place of the Jiaofang Palace? Do you want to look it up? ”
Chu Mubai was full of anxiety: "The concubine Niangniang misunderstood, what Mu Bai said is true, Mu Bai saw it with his own eyes, the assassin entered your palace." ”
"What did you see with your own eyes? There are so many of us here, and it proves that no one came in at all! Chu Mubai, you deceive people too much! Do you think you can find an excuse to come in and arrest me and humiliate me? Even if you have the queen to support you, you can't do whatever you want in the Forbidden City. ”
Chu Mubai instantly had a kind of "show talent meets soldiers, and there is no helplessness that can be explained", the matter is critical, and he can't back down at all. If he had been an ordinary assassin, he Chu Mubai would have turned around and stood by, but this person was the one who plotted against Yuehua! And it's a lot of involvement!
"Guifei Niangniang, this matter is serious, this assassin Mu Bai must be arrested and brought to justice, and he must not be connived, I'm sorry, I offended today, and when the assassin is arrested, Mu Bai will come to bear the guilt again."
Concubine Ling's figure flickered, and she blocked Chu Mubai's way, and her eyebrows were angry: "This palace wants to see it today, who dares?!" ”
"If you delay time and are absconded by the assassins, Concubine Ling, can you afford this sin?" Chu Mubai was in a hurry, but he was also in a panic.
Concubine Ling stood up proudly: "You are a foreign official, you don't have an edict from the emperor, you want to enter the concubine's dormitory to search, and you are so arrogant." This palace is now down, but my Shen family can't tolerate your Chu family bullying like this. Sue the emperor, can you afford to be guilty? ”
Concubine Ling stepped forward, it was a husband who couldn't open it, especially now that she was pregnant, who would dare to move a strand of hair?
The two sides were tense, and there was a bit of stalemate for a while.
Chu Mubai was helpless, anxious, and heard a rumor from a distant eunuch: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
I didn't expect the emperor to come so quickly, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had come to a savior, and turned his head to see Mo Guhan hurrying from the direction of Qianqing Palace.
Mo Guhan was in the Qianqing Palace, and he had already heard the guards coming to report that Gonggong Lin had been killed and the assassin had absconded. He hurriedly ordered the palace to strengthen the guards to protect the queen and the queen mother, and he came in person under the escort of Buchen to investigate the development of the matter.
Chu Mubai sent the little eunuch who went to report the news, and met the holy driver halfway through, and replied truthfully about the assassin's escape into the Jiaofang Palace, Mo Guhan knew the urgency and accelerated his pace.
Just in time, Concubine Ling blocked the door of the Jiaofang Palace, and she was full of thorns and was angry.
Mo Guhan frowned: "What's the matter, has the assassin been caught?" ”
Chu Mubai shook his head guiltily: "Weichen is incompetent, and the assassin fled into the Jiaofang Palace. ”
Mo Guhan raised his eyes and immediately knew what was going on. He knew that Concubine Ling Guifei would never let Chu Mubai go inside to search.
The situation was urgent, he didn't say a word, and waved his hand: "Let me enter the Jiaofang Hall to search for the assassins, and I will never let go." ”
The Imperial Forest Army responded sonorously, with the emperor's will, swept away the nest of suitable talents, and was right.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Ling snorted angrily, angry: "It's the concubine's bedroom inside, how can you let a group of pickled men enter and search?" What does this make the concubine lose face? ”
Mo Gu smiled coldly: "Concubine Ling never thought that if this assassin can't be arrested and hidden in your Jiaofang Palace, it will be difficult for you to even guarantee your life?" Can you rest assured? ”
Concubine Ling was speechless when she was refuted, and still strongly defended: "However, but the concubine has always been in the palace, and he has not seen any assassins enter, and he Chu Mubai is not a personal vendetta, so he took the opportunity to humiliate the concubine." ”
Chu Mubai responded categorically: "Weichen witnessed it with his own eyes, there will definitely be no mistake!" ”
