Chapter 248: An Unquiet Night
Aoyama's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Your Highness, we'll be here in a quarter of an hour. ”
At this moment, Jiang Can had already arrived at the gate of the palace, he took dozens of people to stand opposite and watched the black and oppressive figure surround the palace, he was shocked, and immediately took out the talisman and handed it to a secret guard on his side: "Hurry up and go to the camp to transfer troops." ”
The Dark Guard went with the talisman.
He drew his sword to heaven and said, "Kill the traitor with his own father." ”
In the carriage at the gate of the palace, King Han immediately got out of the carriage when he heard the report, and looked at Fu Guogong, who was approaching with people, and said: "Grandpa Guo is really fast, but why does Grandpa Guo have to be sent to death?"
Blood splashed at the gate of the palace, corpses were everywhere, someone had already climbed over the high palace wall, Jiang Can outside the palace wall didn't know the situation in the palace, the anxiety in his heart made his temper come up instantly, and the long sword pointed directly at the King of Han: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, don't talk nonsense." ”
As soon as he made a move, there were people behind the King of Han who immediately met him, and the sonorous sound was endless.
When the carriage passed by Tianxiang Tower, Han Rui shouted again and again: "Stop, she jumped out of the carriage at a very fast speed, turned her head and instructed Qingshan: "You sneak in from the cold palace with the secret guards, no matter what, you must protect the queen mother and the emperor." ”
"Yes. ”
Aoyama hesitated for a moment, and with a sword cut the reins, the carriage remained in place, and the horses had galloped out for a long time, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to trample on the tip of his heart.
Tianxianglou still has guests at the moment, and the girl who greeted the guests outside the door saw the two women and sneered: "Which little lady is this family who came to find her husband?"
Qiu Ju pushed away the woman who was scratching her head and took out a snowy silver ingot, "My master wants to see the peony girl." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at Han Rui's face again, turned around and ran into the house without taking the silver.
Peony came out soon, she was still radiant, standing in front of Han Rui, it was simply the best contrast, the dusty girl who was scattered into mud and the noble and flawless princess who protected the country were both beautiful and radiant.
"There is an accident in the palace, King Han is afraid that he has rebelled, I need your manpower to enter the palace quickly. ”
Peony was startled, but seeing the other party's expression, he knew that what he said was true, and hurriedly ordered the girl who had just entered the door to report the news, and soon the fireworks rushed straight into the sky from the door of Tianxiang Building, with a huge roar, but it immediately exploded, which was very amazing.
In less than a quarter of an hour, many people gathered at the gate of Tianxiang Tower, peddlers, pawns, beggars and old women.
Peony pointed in the direction of the palace, "Tonight's mission is to kill the King of Han and protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”
Dozens of people nodded silently but at the same time, and then disappeared in front of Han Rui like ghosts.
Peony looked at the carriage with the emblem of the eldest princess's mansion at the door of Tianxiang Building, and told the little maid to lead the horse, "Send the princess back to the house, these dozens of people are all first-class masters, and they will be fine." ”
"I'm going to enter the palace, and at this time, instead of making me wait, let me face the blood. ”
Waiting is the most painful thing, as if it is a sharp blade that will never stop at a glance.
Peony looked at Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju shook her head slightly, obviously no one could persuade the princess, unless she saw the queen mother and the emperor unharmed.
The carriage went straight to the palace, where there was a fierce battle at the gate, and it was clear that the king of Han knew that he could not force the emperor to abdicate until dawn, so he had nothing left.
The carriage stopped in the darkness opposite the palace gate and merged with the darkness.
Qiu Ju opened the window and looked at the fight not far away, and couldn't help but tremble.
"At this time, it would be good if Senior Pei was here. ”
Han Rui sighed heartily, counting the time, there has been no news since she went to the north, what happened to the north?
Has she found Yasukuni?
There was a mess of thoughts in her head for a while, and she took a deep breath, these are all things to be solved, but the current things are more urgent.
How do you bypass these people to the side courtyard wall and climb in through the dog hole in the cold palace?
The three of them didn't have kung fu in their bodies, and the poisons given by Pei Qiniang couldn't be used.
Peony squeezed her hand, she was also very nervous, the change of imperial power would also affect her fate.
Tonight is not destined to be an ordinary night, and it will be the second day of February at dawn.
"Princess, let's just wait here, they don't have time to take care of us at the moment, if they are caught, won't they let them throw a mouse?"
Han Rui looked at the people who fell down outside the window, there were guards around his cousin, and there were his own secret guards, so far away, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could identify it by his clothes.
"There's always a way, and it's never the best way to sit back and wait. ”
She muttered to herself, wishing she could give birth to a pair of wings and fly in at once.
"Princess, someone is coming. ”
Qiu Ju exclaimed, the carriage seemed to be violently swept by a gust of wind, and then there was the sound of a fight outside.
Han Rui pushed open the window, Qi Yuan was holding a long sword and was fighting with a woman in the rivers and lakes, the woman was wearing heavy makeup, and she smiled evilly at her eyes.
Qi Yuan forced the woman to retreat, and the guards who came with her surrounded the carriage, and the woman saw that she couldn't take advantage of it and wanted to call someone.
A crossbow arrow shot out of nowhere in the shadows, just passing through the woman's throat, her body slowly slumped to the ground, but her eyes kept staring at the carriage, and her eyes were full of unwillingness.
Qi Yuan stepped forward: "The princess is frightened. ”
Han Rui's heart was shocked, "How did you get the news?"
Qi Yuan pushed a short man behind him in front of him, "It was this father-in-law who sent a letter to the eldest princess's mansion, saying that there was an accident in the palace and that he wanted to see the eldest princess. ”
The little eunuch trotted all the way, and he was out of breath at this moment.
But Han Rui knew him, he was a palace man serving in Zhaoyang Palace.
"Are the Queen Mother and the Emperor all right? Where did you come from?"
The little eunuch gasped for breath, and was shocked by the eldest princess's eyes and replied again and again: "The queen mother and the emperor were fine when the slave left the palace, the slave came out of a dog hole on the side of the wall of the cold palace, and it was a slave sent by Aunt Akiba herself." ”
Han Rui's spirit was shocked: "Sister Qi, let's go around the cold palace and go in." ”
The three of them got out of the carriage and bypassed the city gate, and at this time, there were no living people at the city gate except for a corpse, and the cold wind was full of the smell of blood.
It took almost a mile from the city gate to get to the dog cave in the harem, but the scene in front of me made people chill.
The two little eunuchs on the side of the courtyard wall were blocked at the entrance of the cave after their throats were cut, and the miserable white moonlight shone down, and I happened to see the little eunuch's miserable white face.
The little eunuch who came immediately recognized the two, "The three servants were ordered by the queen mother to go out of the palace to pass a message to the eldest princess and the auxiliary princess, and the slaves went to the eldest princess's mansion alone, and the two of them went to the Guogong mansion, and the slave and the two of them separated from him after leaving this dog hole." ”
The little eunuch was not very old, and he suddenly saw the miserable death of his former living companion at this moment, and he was frightened.
Qi Yuan looked up at the courtyard wall, and pulled Han Rui to climb over with the help of the power of a tree next to her.
