Chapter 348: Assassination
The two secretly exchanged glances, and Mu Yunge immediately slipped under his feet and fell to Wei Shi's side.
Wei Shi held her, exchanged Wei Shi unconsciously, and sandwiched Mu Yunge between Wei Shi and Hongyi. Wei Shi was surrounded by Emperor Wu, and he supported Emperor Wu with one hand, but in fact, he controlled Emperor Wu within the scope of his protection.
As soon as the two of them finished these small movements, there was a sudden sound in the woods outside the Temple of Heaven, and before everyone could react, a large black shadow jumped out of the woods and pounced on the unprepared people around the Temple of Heaven. Before he landed, there was a burst of hidden weapons, and the civil and military ministers on the periphery suddenly cried.
"What people!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Come on, arm!"
There was chaos around the Temple of Heaven, Nangong Jin jumped out, and the people who commanded the Imperial Forest Army and the Jicheng Army quickly moved closer to Emperor Wu and guarded Emperor Wu in the middle. Emperor Wu looked panicked, hiding in the guards of everyone, finally calmed down, calmed down, and said coldly: "These chaotic ministers and thieves, who knows where they come from?" ”
"Doesn't anyone know?" The surrounding Imperial Forest Army and Ji Cheng Army were on guard, and they couldn't spare time to answer him at all, Emperor Wu scolded angrily, looked around, and saw that only Mu Yunge was carrying a short dagger to protect him, Wei Shi was nowhere to be found, and his anger was even more three, and he asked, "What about Wei Shiren?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is over there." A royal forest soldier raised his hand and pointed to the Temple of Heaven, where Wei Shi had already fallen into a bitter battle and stopped all the black-clothed men who were attacking the Temple of Heaven.
Mu Yunge replied coldly beside him: "In order to protect Your Majesty, Your Highness has attracted the attention of all the assassins by himself. ”
These words made Emperor Wu feel guilty, just now, he was suspicious of Wei Shi, but he didn't expect Wei Shi to use his body to block all the swords for him.
It's really a matter of life and death, and you know who is really treating you. Emperor Wu was originally extremely fond of Wei Shi, and at this time he was eager to give him all the love and praise, and as soon as his suspicion disappeared, worry surged up, and when he saw five or six black-clothed people pestering Wei Shi, Wei Shi didn't notice it, and was stabbed in his hand, and he felt distressed, and hurriedly instructed the people around him: "Go to two people to help His Royal Highness King Yu." ”
"Your Majesty, it's not safe here, please move under the Temple of Heaven." As soon as he finished the order, Nangong Jin killed the two black-clothed men who came over, and hurriedly turned his head to Emperor Wu and said.
Emperor Wu looked around, there were no buildings around the Temple of Heaven, and he couldn't hide anywhere.
He was confused for a while, this bloody scene shocked him a little, the blood of his youth, the sadness of not being able to get his beloved woman, and the pain of being betrayed by his sons all came up, Emperor Wu's voice was hoarse, but he said loudly: "I am not going anywhere, I am here, see who dares to rebel!" ”
What answered him was a sleeve arrow flying from the shadows, Nangong Jin couldn't care about anything anymore, cut off the sleeve arrow with a knife, and pushed Emperor Wu, Liu Yuan in the audience immediately caught Emperor Wu and took the person to a slightly safer place.
His Royal Highness King Yu got married, no one would have thought that such a tragic battle would happen, and the number of Imperial Forest soldiers who came with him was not large, plus the personal soldiers of King Yu's mansion and the sergeants brought by Nangong Jin, the total number was less than three hundred. Fortunately, most of the children of the clan are skilled in martial arts, and many of the civil and military officials are practitioners, even if they don't need a big place, a few besiege one, they can always clean up some. Soon an area was vacated, and Emperor Wu was guarded in the middle by the Imperial Forest Army, using the terrain as a cover, and finally protecting Emperor Wu's safety.
As soon as Emperor Wu left, Mu Yunge was suddenly left alone on the stage, and there was only one girl to accompany her.
But the strange thing is that all the black-clothed people coincidentally attacked Wei Shi, Emperor Wu and some important members of the court, but they didn't go to her with a single sword.
When Emperor Wu was settled and remembered her, she had already led the red clothes to Mu Zhizhao and his wife to protect the safety of her father and mother.
Emperor Wu's eyes searched around the field, and finally saw her in a corner. Seeing her accompanying Mu Zhizhao and Xiao, it was inevitable that she was a little jealous, but this feeling was not yet raised, and her eyes fell on the tall woman beside Xiao, and she was suddenly struck by lightning, and she froze all of a sudden.
He stared directly at Yun Rao with a mask, and his eyes flashed with complex expressions such as stunned, surprised, and disbelievable, and he unconsciously wanted to push away the Imperial Forest Army and step forward to see it clearly.
Nangong Jin guarded Emperor Wu's side, and when he saw that Emperor Wu was suddenly in a trance, he wanted to get out of the encirclement, and he nervously grabbed people back.
In such a blink of an eye, when Emperor Wu turned back to look for the woman with the mask, the tall figure was gone.
"Your Highness!"
"You, you, go and help His Royal Highness King Yu and let His Highness retreat and rest."
The field was full of visions, Wei Shi was besieged by one person, and he fell into danger several times, Nangong Jin immediately took out two Jicheng troops and asked them to go up and replace Wei Shi.
Wei Shi finally got a moment of respite, calmed down, and looked at the field, the black-clothed man who attacked was less than half of the plan, it seems that Tang Linyi's side has already succeeded, presumably the woods at this time are already piled up like a mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief, and counted carefully, most of the officials who died were people from Wei Yin's side, and his people were well protected.
He listened attentively, the footsteps outside the Temple of Heaven were running in an orderly manner, calculating the time, the Imperial Forest Army led by Wang Jian should also arrive......
Sure enough, the person who came was indeed Wang Qian.
He escorted Concubine De back to the palace, and received news on the way to the Temple of Heaven.
As soon as he and a large number of Royal Forest Army joined, the situation of the battle was immediately reversed, and the black-clothed man who rushed out earlier could not wait for reinforcements, and was already in a predicament, and at this time he became more and more desperate, hiding cowardice in his heart, and the killing intent of the sword blade was greatly reduced, and he gradually fell behind.
"Catch it alive!" Emperor Wu was not afraid at this time, and ordered Nangong Jin: "I will catch them alive." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work." Nangong Jin shook his head: "These are all killers on the rivers and lakes, there are poison pills hidden in their teeth, and when they are arrested, they will bite open the wax seal and commit suicide." ”
As if to confirm Nangong Jin's words, the Imperial Forest Army had just caught a few alive, and a trace of resoluteness appeared on the faces of these black-clothed people, and then their lips were black, and thick blood flowed out of their mouths, and they died of anger in an instant.
Wei Shi kicked one of the corpses and sneered: "Do you think that if you commit suicide by taking poison, there will be no trace?" No way! Dare to assassinate my father, or at my wedding, I am really impatient! You think you're hiding well, but even if you dig three feet into the ground, I'll turn you out! ”
These words made Emperor Wu's heart warm, for no other reason, Wei Shi put his safety before the wedding, for this selfish old man, more important than anything else!
He looked at the red clothes on Wei Shi's body, which were many pieces black, all of them were stained with blood, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, and called Wei Shi repeatedly: "Shi'er, come to my father's place." Good boy, is it seriously injured? ”
"Father, the sons and daughters are all skin injuries, and they are not in the way, what about Yun Ge, why are you not with your father?" Wei Shi's eyes looked around, pretending to suddenly find that Mu Yunge was not in front of him.
Emperor Wu hurriedly pointed in the direction of the Mu family: "Yun Ge is on the side of the Marquis of Changyi." ”
But look closely, where is Mu Yunge's figure?
Wei Shi immediately panicked, and ordered Nangong Jin to guard Emperor Wu carefully, and rushed over with an arrow step, he comforted Mu Zhizhao a few words, and talked to Xiao Shi for a while, then returned to Emperor Wu, and said anxiously: "Father, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, please return to the palace quickly." The Marquis of Changyi said that Yun Ge was kidnapped by the man in black, and I took the red clothes to chase after him immediately! Nangong, the safety of your father will be handed over to you and Wang Qian! ”
When Emperor Wu heard this, he was also anxious: "Yun Ge was taken captive? ”
Wei Shi only nodded, Zhang Huang ordered a few people, and before he had time to say more, he quickly chased after the woods.
Emperor Wu saw that he was chasing with a weapon, without pretending, his heart was worried after all, knowing that his life was fine, he had extra thoughts to take care of the life and death of others, and ordered two imperial forest soldiers to chase Wei, only to let Wang Jian escort back to the palace.
Nangong Jin stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and put all the black-clothed people in two rows and listed them one by one.
Wei Shi took the red clothes to the grove, and saw that among the dead corpses on the ground, Mu Yunge was sitting on the trunk of the tree, dangling his calves and waiting for them.
Behind her, Tang Linyi's white clothes fluttered, standing with his hands in his hands, and in the hazy night, he became more and more like a dusty fairy, which made people unable to take their eyes off. In the dense forest above the two of them, there were still some dark shadows hidden, Mu Yunge waved his hand and ordered them: "Chen Wangfu poured out of the nest this time, but someone must stay behind." The foundation of the building is not weak, so you should be more careful. ”
A few shadows flew away, leaving only a cluster of phantoms.
Mu Yunge floated down from the tree and stood in a pile of corpses, she was not timid, she lifted her skirt and walked to Wei Shi's side, pulled Wei Shi to check it for a moment, and then said, "Skin trauma, let's take medicine first." ”
Emperor Wu nodded, the two of them found a clean stone and sat down, Mu Yunge smeared the gold sore medicine on him, stopped the bleeding, and then said, "Your Majesty has no doubts, right?" ”
"Nope." Wei Shi shook his head: "However, my father still doesn't know who did it." ”
"There's no hurry." Mu Yunge smiled playfully: "Pei Yongtu will tell him." ”
Wei Shi nodded, seeing that her face was so beautiful in the moonlight, his heart fluttered, and he was inevitably throbbing, holding her hand and refusing to let go, leaning over to kiss her.
Mu Yunge nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother and Hongyi are here." ”
Hongyi and Tang Linyi are both masters, these words naturally penetrated into their ears, Hongyi's face was flushed, and Tang Linyi was disappointed, hanging his head and not speaking.
Wei Shi smiled, took the person in his arms and stood up, his heart was rippling, he had to hurry up to get the business done, so that he could have a good affection with Mu Yunge......
When the two rushed to the palace, Emperor Wu had already gone back for a long time, changed his clothes, and was in a slightly better spirit, sitting on the Zhaode Hall to listen to Pei Yongtu and Nangong Jin recovering the assassination incident on the Temple of Heaven just now. Wait to hear what Nangong Jin said. When these assassins were all from a gang called Manlou, Emperor Wu's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't say a word with a gloomy face.
He remembered that many years ago, Qi Chun had investigated the origin of Concubine Li, and she seemed to be from the rivers and lakes......
