In the main hall of the Hanguang Temple, there was a deathly silence, and all the people were looking at this scene with frightened eyes, except for the soft sound of blood dripping on the bed, there was no sound.

Blood slipped from the sword on Fan Xian's clothes, followed the queen mother's earlobe, wet half of the old woman's cheeks, and gradually seeped into the clothes.

The sword that shone with cold light rested on the Queen Mother's neck unusually steadily and coldly.

This was the first time since the founding of the Qing Kingdom that an assassin could penetrate the depths of the palace, and the first time that someone could put the blade of a sword on the queen mother's neck.

Everyone, including those master eunuchs, was shocked, watching Fan Xian holding the Queen Mother hostage, not knowing what to do.

This qiē happened too quickly, from the jǐng news outside the hall, to Fan Xian like a killing god descending from the sky, straight to the phoenix bed, and controlling the queen mother, it was just a few breaths of time.

Previously, at the side hall, Fan Xian did not hit the wall, but he chose the wooden door first, slapped the eunuch master, and cut off his head with a sword, successfully allowing the masters of the inner court to focus their attention on the long corridor leading to the main hall in the side hall, but he was ...... Crashed directly from behind the wall! Such an unexpected, willing to take a risk, and resist the four old eunuchs, only then did he succeed at this moment.

In such a short period of time, he was able to react and make decisions so quickly, and it must be said that Fan Xian's actions tonight were really strong. And shocked everyone who watched this scene, for some reason, there was a chill from the bottom of their hearts, it seemed that Fan Xian dared to pull the long sword at any time and let the Queen Mother die!

Fan Xian's expression was too calm and indifferent, just like he was just an ordinary person under the sword, not a queen mother who could influence the general trend of the world!

............" sent a message to the guards outside to stop. ”

The hall was as quiet as death, but the screams of the battle outside the hall became brighter and brighter, and the six swordsmen of the palace were still entangled with the Ouchi guards.

After Fan Xian restrained the Queen Mother under the sword, without the slightest delay, he bent his right knee slightly, carefully hid his body behind the Queen Mother, the long sword was elbowed, rested on the Queen Mother's shoulder, and whispered next to the Queen Mother's blood-red cheeks.

The words were very calm, but with a power that did not allow people to refute, everyone felt that if the queen mother did not order the guards outside and the eunuchs in the palace to stop, Fan Xian might really use his sword.

However...... After all, the Queen Mother is not an ordinary person.

This Empress Dowager of Qingguo, when she was still Princess Cheng, has experienced many years of precarious rìzi, and her heart is sincere and stable, not an ordinary old woman. Later, she was the queen mother for decades, living deep in the palace, and she had a majesty and strong self-confidence in her heart.

The Queen Mother turned her face and looked at Fan Xian indifferently, her gray hair was a little messy, but her eyebrows were twisted together, revealing her innate prestige, and she said coldly: "What a rebellious thing!

The sound was like cutting gold and breaking jade, and it shook the bodies of everyone in the palace!

Fan Xian's heart was slightly cold, he didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so wolf at this time, in such a dangerous situation, she would be so tough, but he knew in his heart that the Queen Mother must maintain her momentum in order to seek more benefits in the next things.

Even more unexpected things are still to come, just listen to the snap! The Queen Mother actually slapped Fan Xian with her backhand!

A faint red palm print appeared on Fan Xian's face, the Queen Mother didn't seem to be afraid of Leng Feng across her neck at all, looking at Fan Xian's eyes full of contempt and shame, and said coldly: "Do you dare to kill the mourning family!"

Everyone in the Hanguang Hall was stunned, they didn't expect that the Queen Mother would dare to provoke so forcefully under the control of Fan Xian's sword, wasn't she afraid that Fan Xian would really kill her? Looking at this scene, some grandmothers and palace maids were so frightened that they fainted.

And the Queen Mother still looked at Fan Xian indifferently and strongly.

Fan Xian's eyes narrowed, looking at the Queen Mother's wrinkled face without saying a word, he knew why this old woman was so strong, because she knew that if Fan Xian wanted to control the palace, then he would not dare to kill himself at this time.

What's more, she is the queen mother after all, and she is a pro-nǎinǎi in Fan Xian's bloodline, she expected that Fan Xian would not dare to do it in front of so many people, even if she really thought wrong, but she still had to maintain her momentum in order to have a chance to reverse.

............ Just when the Queen Mother slapped Fan Xian unusually strongly, a sudden change occurred in the Hanguang Palace, and Gonggong Hou, who had been quiet at the edge of the hall, suddenly floated up!

It floated up extremely fast, but instead of rushing towards Fan Xian and the Queen Mother, it rushed towards the big hole that Fan Xian had broken!

Fan Xian's pupils flashed, but he didn't dare to leave the Queen Mother's side, so he could only watch Gonggong Hou and several other eunuch masters snap a few times next to the cave and restrain a few people.

Gonggong Hou's palm strangled the throat of the third prince.

Yi Guifei was restrained by a eunuch.

Ning Cairen was wielding a dagger with a black sè, but he was also surrounded by several eunuchs in the middle.

............ "Little grandpa, don't be too impulsive. Gonggong Hou grabbed the throat of the third prince, lowered his head and said respectfully.

Fan Xian's hand was unusually steady holding the sword, looking at Gonggong Hou, a hint of strangeness flashed in his pupils, and it was only at this time that he knew that the eunuch who was ranked second under Eunuch Yao actually had such a clever cultivation.

At this time, the situation was that Fan Xian controlled the Queen Mother, while the eunuchs such as Gonggong Hou controlled the three people that Fan Xian cared about very much.

How will the situation develop?

Everyone was waiting for Fan Xian's decision.

The Queen Mother's face was indifferent, but the blood that seeped into her clothes was a little cold, making her fingers tremble slightly.

Fan Xian lowered his head, looked at the Queen Mother's fingers, and was not silent for long, but just took a deep breath. All the eunuch masters were stunned, not knowing what he would do next.

Fan Xian raised his face, frowned, and then raised his right hand and hit the Queen Mother's old cheek hard!

............ There was a crisp snap! This sound was louder than the previous slap of the Queen Mother Fan Xian! The Queen Mother covered her face in disbelief, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her lips, and the old man's teeth were only afraid that they would be loosened.

Everyone in the hall looked at this scene dumbfounded, as if this slap not only hit the queen mother's face, but also hit her own face and heart!

Who was slapped by Fan Xian? It was the Holy Empress Dowager, the biological mother of the Emperor Xià, and Fan ......Xian's pro-nǎinǎi! Dare to slap her!

This is a humiliation that can never be eliminated, and Fan Xian slapped the Queen Mother, which proves that he has let himself out, and if he dares to slap you, he will dare to kill you!

Fan Xian stared at the Queen Mother's half-swollen face, and said softly: "Let go, stop, I don't want to repeat it a second time." ”

The Empress Dowager ―――――――――――――――――― trembled angrily, but she also felt a trace of coldness from the deepest part of the earth in her heart, and she knew that she still underestimated this grandson who was not surnamed Li after all, and underestimated the other party's coldness and strong heart.

She felt the sword around her neck tighten again. Maybe it was just a moment, maybe after a long time, the Queen Mother's eyes finally became a little lonely, and she said, "Do what he wants." ”

The Queen Mother shouted herself, louder. Fan Xian said.

The Queen Mother stared at Fan Xian angrily, and had no choice but to shout to the outside of the hall in an old voice: "The guards listen to the order, all stop!"

For some reason, as soon as the queen mother's will came out, everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was Fan Xian's appearance that made these people too afraid, for fear of witnessing a terrifying scene of Sun killing nǎi and his ministers killing the Empress Dowager.

Only Gonggong Hou, who was choking the throat of the third prince, frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It seems that Grandpa Hou really wants you to die. Fan Xian said indifferently to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at Grandpa Hou, and the four old eunuchs frowned and moved to Grandpa Hou.

Grandpa Hou sighed and let go of his palm.

The third prince was terrified, and the wound that was stabbed by the assassin in the afternoon began to bleed again, he hurriedly helped his mother, and the three of them ran behind Fan Xian in a panic.

As soon as the queen mother's will came out, the sound of fighting around Hanguang Hall suddenly disappeared, and it was obvious that the swordsmen who followed Fan Xian into the palace had already been instructed, as long as the guards stopped moving, they did not take the opportunity to fight back.

All the large wooden doors of the Hanguang Hall were pushed open at the same time, and in the creaking sound, the whole palace became extremely transparent. The people in the hall could clearly see the tense situation outside the hall, the guards who were holding straight knives and surrounded the Hanguang Temple, and the countless corpses lying in the open space outside the hall.

The early autumn night breeze outside the hall also blew in, and the coolness was deep, but it made people not quiet, because with this gust of wind, the smell of blood also entered the hall and went straight to the nose of everyone.

Dozens of black-clad six swordsmen retreated into the Hanguang Hall as quickly as possible, surrounding the eunuchs in the hall. Several powerful old eunuchs in the inner court had to accept this aggrieved fact, and they were buckled up by the special iron fingers of the Supervision Yuan.

The Queen Mother is in the hands of Fan Xian, Fan Xian has proved that he dares to kill the Queen Mother, in this case, where do these masters of the inner court dare to resist?

Even if a person like Hou Gonggong wants to resist, he can't make too many superfluous actions because of the general trend.

Fan Xian looked at his subordinates who were covered with wounds, his brows jumped again, and with a sweep of his eyes, he knew that although the sniper battle outside the Hanguang Hall was extremely short, there were still more than a dozen loyal subordinates, and they would return to heaven.

Breaking into the palace, it is impossible to be immortal, and it is an impossible task to be able to temporarily control the Hanguang Palace at such a small price.

Fan Xian lowered his eyes and said to the Queen Mother under the sword: "You know, I won't kill you...... If I'm just trying to kill you, there are countless ways to get you dead without knowing how. ”

The Queen Mother coughed violently, holding her chest, and her neck rubbed a trace of blood under Fan Xian's sword.

Looking at this scene, those eunuchs and palace maids who were loyal to the Queen Mother showed panic on their faces, and wanted to step forward to serve, but they didn't dare to move.

The Queen Mother turned her head and stared at Fan Xian with a resentful look: "You are the same as your mother, the wolf is ambitious! ”

Yes, even if Fan Xian captured the Queen Mother and controlled the palace at this time, what should he do next? Everyone, including those black-clothed swordsmen, stared at him, waiting for his next order.

Fan Xian was waiting for news from the other three groups in the palace, and he was also waiting for the movement in the imperial city, he knew that success had not yet fully arrived, and if things were not in harmony, his people would fail.

But while waiting, he was not idle, he glanced coldly at Gonggong Hou, who was surrounded by swordsmen.

Hou Gonggong's heart trembled, and he secretly carried his true qi.

Fan Xian nodded.

Father-in-law Hou was shocked, his sleeves flipped over, and he was ready to fight! Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw more than a dozen small crossbows shining with dark light facing him!

The two hundred people brought into the palace by Fan Xian put a lot of effort into disguise for fear of alarming the enemies outside the palace, and no one could carry a crossbow, but among the dozens of people who followed him, they carried ten hidden crossbows.

And these dark crossbows are facing Gonggong Hou directly at this time.

Father-in-law Hou shouted violently, his figure protruded, and he couldn't help it...... Just one foot higher, his whole body turned into a hedgehog, and ten crossbow arrows pierced deep into his body, constantly sucking blood from his body.

With a snap, Hou Gonggong fell to the ground, convulsed twice, opened his eyes unwillingly, and died.

Fan Xian looked at this scene indifferently, although he didn't know that Gonggong Hou was the confidant of the eldest princess, but his intuition and the previous scene made him feel a little tired, so he suddenly attacked at this time, causing his subordinates to suddenly kill Gonggong Hou.

At such a critical moment, Fan Xian is not afraid to kill, and would rather kill the wrong one than miss it.

The death of Gonggong Hou shocked the hall, and the situation that had calmed down at the beginning was a little chaotic, and the guards surrounding the hall were also nervous, and forced a few steps in the direction of Hanguang Palace.

Fan Xian was not chaotic, he slowly took off the sword on the queen mother's neck, and swept his eyes across the field, but wherever he looked, no one dared to look directly, and they all bowed their heads.

He sat down beside the Queen Mother, bowed his head and listened to the noise in the palace, knowing that the three groups must have encountered very strong resistance, but fortunately, he broke into the Hanguang Palace, attracting the most eunuch masters and most of the guards in the harem, Jing Ge and their three sides should be a little easier.

There was silence in the Hanguang Palace, Fan Xian and the Queen Mother sat side by side on the bed, the two grandchildren were stained with the blood of others, and their hearts were cold.

The guards outside the hall did not disarm, Fan Xian did not have any extra people to carry out this important matter, all the black-clothed swordsmen had already returned to the palace, he didn't want to let the situation change at this time, the problem of the guards in the hall should be handed over to him after the eldest prince solved the problem of the forbidden army in the imperial city later.

He just waited, believing in his subordinates and the strength of the Black Knight.

didn't wait long, and the guards outside the hall suddenly made some noise, and it seemed that something shocking had happened at the back of the camp.

Fan Xian didn't get up, and said to the Queen Mother beside him: "Let them get out of the way." ”

The Queen Mother's gray hair hung down on the blood-stained cheeks, and the half of the cheeks that were not stained with blood had been swollen by Fan Xian's heavy slap, and she looked extremely desolate. Listening to Fan Xian's words, she glanced outside with somewhat blank eyes and nodded.

The leader of the guard squad looked at the situation in the hall, gritted his teeth, and withdrew the encirclement through a gap.

More than a dozen black-clothed assassins, carrying a disheveled concubine, walked into the Hall of Light!

Fan Xian looked at the number of people, and sighed in his heart, knowing that there were more dead people in this group, and after seeing the sorrow in the concubine's beautiful beauty, he couldn't help but feel a slight move in his heart.

The person who came was Shu Guifei, the biological mother of the second prince, since the queen mother ordered the prince to succeed to the throne and the second prince surrendered, the queen mother sent the prince and the queen, the eldest princess, and the concubine Shu Guifei back to live in their respective palaces, and only left the mother and son of Yigui concubine and Ning Cairen in the Hanguang Palace.

Fan Xian looked at Concubine Shu and smiled gently, patted the soft bed beside him, and said, "Niangniang, please sit here." ”

Concubine Shu has been good at poetry and books since she was a child, her heart is light, she usually has a good relationship with Fan Xian in the palace, and she has not had too many suspicions because of the affairs of the second prince, and she is also a silent person who protects herself, Fan Xian does not have too much ill feelings towards her, but tonight she is the one who must be controlled.

Concubine Shu was forcibly kidnapped by the assassins tonight, and she thought she would die, but she also guessed who did such a rebellious thing, and at this time, looking at Fan Xian's face, she couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in her heart, and she couldn't even say the angry words she had thought of before.

She looked at the wolf appearance of the Queen Mother, and she was even more chilled, so she had to cringe and sit next to Fan Xian.

The first to be caught was Concubine Shu, which was expected by Fan Xian, the defense of the East Palace and the Guangxin Palace, second only to the Hanguang Palace, was also a critical place, and his subordinates were not able to succeed so quickly.

So...... When he saw Jing Ge, who was wearing a silver mask, leading his subordinates into the Hanguang Hall with a silent face, his heart sank, and he knew that something was in trouble.

Things are really troublesome, Jing Ge lowered his head and said something in Fan Xian's ear, Fan Xian's face became heavier and heavier, and his eyebrows seemed to be pressed against a boulder weighing thousands of catties, and it was difficult to stretch.

Another level of subordinate returns, still bad news.

Fan Xian frowned, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, as if he wanted to drive out the distress in his heart, and after a while, he sighed and whispered a word to the person on the bed.

"I wanted to reunite with my family, but it seems that I can't. ”

At this time, the queen mother and the concubine sat beside him on the bed, and behind him sat Yi Guifei, Ning Cairen and the three princes, and most of the people in the entire royal family were on this bed. Fan Xian's most absolute close control of the life and death of the two people beside him and the protection of the three people behind him.

The so-called whole family, naturally the family of the Son of Heaven, now that Emperor Qing has gone, in addition to the six people in the bed, the Son of Heaven's family also has the prince and the queen's mother and son, as well as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in Guangxin Palace. Fan Xian subconsciously excluded the flower farmer, because he felt that King Jing was much cleaner than everyone in the family.

The heavy stone pressed between Fan Xian's eyebrows was the three members who did not come to the Heavenly Family reunion at this time.

Jing Ge and another group of reported news that the East Palace and Guangxin Palace were empty!

I don't know why, the eldest princess and the crown prince seemed to have learned the news in advance, and at the moment before Fan Xian and his subordinates entered the palace, they took advantage of the dark night to follow the direction of the cold palace in the north and escaped, Jing Ge led more than 100 assassins but did not catch up!

Such a violent and unbridled raid, but did not catch the most important corners!

Fan Xian's mood was extremely heavy, but his face gradually eased, this time he broke through the palace, although he did not compete for all the merits, but after all, he caught the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu. There was never anything perfect in this world, and he knew that his luck was not good enough to change the course of history with 200 people.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting beside him, suddenly said in an old voice: "The mourning family knows what you want to do, but the will of the mourning family has already been issued." ”

Obviously, all the words Jing Ge said in Fan Xian's ears fell into the ears of the down-and-out queen mother, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Fan Xian and said: "Cheng Qian left the palace with the will of the mourning family, and the Ming army is about to enter Beijing, are you afraid?"

"I'm getting bolder day by day, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to slap your face swollen. Fan Xian looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, but the chill in her words was chilling, and the Queen Mother's eyes shrank.

"The Queen Mother can have many wills. Fan Xian said very gently to the Queen Mother: "For example, the Thirteen City Gate Division is always under your control, as long as you make another will to close the city gate, how can the old Qin family come in?"

"I think you also know that the cronie that the eldest princess planted in the city gate division was killed by me last night. ”

"I'm here to help you secure control of the nine gates. ”

"Of course, my purpose is to control you. ”

These words spit out from Fan Xian's thin lips, extremely soft, extremely terrifying, the Queen Mother trembled angrily, staring at him but unable to say a word.

"Although you are seventy or eighty, you are still afraid of death. Fan Xian frowned and looked at the Queen Mother, as if looking at something that was very annoying to him, "So you always have to send this edict." ”

The Queen Mother coughed twice, glanced at Ning Cairen behind her, then turned her head to stare at Fan Xian's eyes and said, "Even if that Yi seed helps you, you can only control the palace at most, what can you do outside the palace?"

Fan Xian stared at her eyes and said, "I only brought 200 people into the palace, not because I was confident, but because I left 1,700 people outside the palace! What do you think I can do outside the palace?"

............ At this moment, at the junction of the harem and the front palace, which was some distance away from the Hanguang Palace, there was a sudden burst of shouting and killing, as well as the sound of the palace gate bursting.

Fan Xian listened quietly, knowing that the forbidden army of the eldest prince had finally been killed, and his heart was relieved, so he stood up and ordered Jing Ge: "I will hand over the Hanguang Hall to you, no matter who it is, if there is any abnormal movement, kill me." ”

Jing Ge received the order without any objection, the silver mask on his face shone with a chilling light, and everyone in the hall looked at this person, not knowing what the identity of this person was, but he was so calm and calm about Fan Xian's seemingly rebellious order.

If it is an ordinary official of the Supervision Yuan, I am afraid that there will be some fear in my heart.

They didn't know that this deputy commander of the black cavalry had picked the son of the Qin family in the military camp back then, and stayed on death row in Qingguo for a long time, and he didn't know how much torture he had suffered.

At this moment, Ning Cairen suddenly lowered his head slightly and said, "Your dagger will be borrowed from me first." ”

Fan Xian glanced at her and laughed, knowing that Ning Cairen was afraid that once something really happened, Jing Ge would not dare to make a move on the Queen Mother, and she ...... This female prisoner of Dongyi back then, and the fetus in her womb, the woman who was almost killed by the Empress Dowager, have been waiting for this opportunity with fierce blood.

Fan Xian nodded at her, and then walked towards the night outside the Hanguang Palace, he was going to Guangxin Palace and East Palace to check, he always felt that this matter revealed very strange information.

With a bang, he inserted the blood-stained sword into the barrel behind his back, walked down the stone steps of the Hanguang Palace, followed several cronies of the Qi Nian group who entered the palace, followed him three steps away, and also walked down the stone steps.

Everyone inside and outside the temple looked at him, not knowing where he was going at such a critical moment.

He took a few subordinates and walked out of the hall calmly, walking past the guards who were facing him with their swords in their hands, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Where did the guards dare to make a move, they could only watch him disappear into the black clothes outside the Hanguang Palace. Although the Queen Mother was in the palace, Fan Xian actually walked so calmly and so boldly, which really shocked the hearts of many people.

―――――――――――――――――― Fan Xian did not deliberately suppress the arrogance of the Queen Mother, and what he said earlier was not false. In the boudoir of Miss Sun Hao'er in Kyoto Prefecture, when he made a plan with Yan Bingyun, he had already calculated how much power he could contact.

The secret agents that the Supervision Yuan can mobilize in Beijing, the nails hidden in the various mansions, and the one controlled by Fan Xian, even if it is in addition to the square building that is monitored by the inner court and the military, 1,400 people can be mobilized.

And through Kyoto Prefecture, the five hundred black horsemen hidden outside Kyoto disguised themselves in Beijing, so far, the power that Fan Xian could use reached 1,900 people, and these 1,900 people were all working in the dark, although they were far from being the opponent of the army in terms of force, but it was really a convenient weapon to start a rebellion.

Fan Xian broke through the palace tonight, and only brought two hundred people, not because he was arrogant, but because he paid attention to speed and sudden assault like this, the number of people was never the key. And he must leave most of the strength outside the palace, and the remaining 1,700 people are doing all kinds of work under the mobilization of Yan Bingyun at this time.

Kyoto is too big, Fan Xian has too many aspects to take care of, and the outside of the palace is handled by himself, and the palace must rely on thousands of forbidden troops to control the situation. And when the harem let out that shouting and killing, he knew that the eldest prince had already controlled the forbidden army.

............ The actions of the forbidden army, as the eldest prince said to the cronies, depended on the progress of Fan Xian's advance in the palace.

When Fan Xian's brave subordinate stood still surrounded by the guards and issued the arrow to the night dome and the bright moon in the sky, the forbidden army moved.

The fireworks arrow was so bright that it illuminated half of the Imperial City in an instant, and this kind of arrow used for communication was not the kind commonly used by the Kyoto Garrison and the Inspectorate, but it had given a very clear signal.

The eldest prince stood beside the crossbow guarding the city, looking at the fireworks arrow that pierced the night sky, his facial lines suddenly hardened, he raised his right hand, and slashed down like a knife.

Slashed in the empty night wind at the corner tower of the imperial city.

............ A knife slashed down, directly cutting off the necks of the two soldiers on the big bunk at the same time, and the blood sprayed onto the wall with a pop, and two large blood flowers were hit with extreme blood!

The general of the forbidden army, who was armed with a knife and attacked at night, withdrew his long knife and shouted: "Kill!"

In the darkness of the night, an unknown number of people poured into the streets and alleys of the square in front of the imperial city, quietly escaped into the large chambers, and then began the bloody massacre.

A full 600 soldiers of the forbidden army who were transferred to rest were still asleep at this time, and many of them lost their lives in this way, and some of them were awakened by the fact that they did not react at all, and ushered in ruthless knives and guns.

Yes, those who kill and those who are killed are comrades, if they change time and space, change venues, they may fight side by side with the Hu people, drinking and burning knives, smearing snow-bright blades, bravely killing into the enemy camp, blocking each other's arrows and swords for each other.

Tonight, however, it wasn't, just a side-to-side slaughter, an unusually merciless slaughter.

It didn't take long for the 2,000 forbidden troops loyal to the Great Prince to clean up a large area in front of the imperial city, and countless dead bodies were mixed with blood, and the smell was overwhelming.

The faces of the forbidden soldiers are not good-looking, they are usually the Western Expeditionary Army, this is the first time to kill...... Own. But they also knew that these people were not their own people, and what they did tonight did not allow them to have the slightest weakness.

They have seen the seal passed by the marshal, and they have seen the edict of His Majesty, so they have blood and faith in their hearts.

We are on the side of justice.

They're still alive, and who's to say they're not?
