Chapter 3: Someone is going to blow up the General's Mansion
Homicide?
Rong Zhizhi stunned his ears.
At the banquet, a group of officials looked at Li Wenxuan, who fell to the ground with a big hole in his neck, and they were all shocked.
Just now, Li Wenxuan was just toasting with Xia Yunting, Xia Yunting suddenly wiped someone's neck with a knife, and everyone present was frightened.
I don't know who reacted first, pointed at Xia Yunting and scolded:
"Xia Yunting! Li Wenxuan is this year's new champion, even if you are a general, you can't be so careless about people's lives! ”
"That's it, General Xia, you don't think that you can do whatever you want after fighting at the border for a few years, I will report to the emperor and accuse you of indiscriminate killing of innocents!"
"Yes, report to the emperor!"
A group of people began to respond, and if it weren't for the fact that there were so many guards around, they would probably have taken matters into their own hands.
Everyone stared at Xia Yunting with dissatisfied.
Xia Yunting's face did not change, he took two steps forward, picked up the corpse on the ground with one hand, and reached out to grab his face in full view of everyone.
"People are dead, and you still want to do it...... How so! ”
The accusatory words came to an abrupt end halfway through, as the corpse's face wrinkled, and Xia Yunting tore off a mask.
This Li Wenxuan is disguised by others!
Almost at the same moment, Zhang Can came back with a dying person, who was the real Li Wenxuan who had disappeared.
Li Wenxuan was probably knocked unconscious, his forehead was bruised, and he was still in a coma.
Zhang Can helped him sit down, feeding water and fanning the wind, and the person finally woke up slowly.
"How could I be here......"
In the middle of speaking, Li Wenxuan suddenly saw Xia Yunting, and his eyes widened instantly.
"General Xia, someone knocked me out and came here pretending to be me, are you okay?"
The scene gasped.
What kind of person is so bold to pretend to be a champion and sneak into the General's Mansion?
Xia Yunting's face was solemn.
"Lord Li came to my wedding banquet, but when I encountered this kind of thing, I didn't entertain me well, and I hope your forgiveness."
"The general's words are serious, if the general's people hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have suffocated in that little dark room."
The people who were accusing just now were silent, Xia Yunting looked at everyone, and his words were loud.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is my big day, but I didn't expect someone to sneak in and assassinate someone disguised as a guest! I can't guarantee that there will be any assassins at the scene, and for everyone's safety, I hope that everyone will cooperate with me in the body search. ”
"What? Frisk? ”
"We are officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you just search us like this, where will we put our face."
"Is face or life important? If someone close to you is an Assassin, you'll end up worse than me. Li Wenxuan glared at everyone.
"Pedantic!"
The crowd was speechless.
Soon someone started a body search.
Although the people were not satisfied, they dared not speak out in anger against the guards who were a head taller than them.
"Wait a minute, virtuous son-in-law, I'm also your father-in-law, can't it be that even I have to search together?"
Xing Jie was very angry, when he visited the hall just now, this Xia Yunting had a straight face, as if he had wronged him by marrying the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He is also the prime minister, Xia Yunting is just a big soldier who has fought for a few years, and he can't find the north if he is a general, so he has to take this opportunity to establish his authority.
"It's hard for me to guarantee that you're the real Prime Minister right now."
Xing Jie was choked like this, speechless, and the next moment someone came to search him.
It's a shame!
Xing Jie's face turned green with anger.
Searching and searching, someone really found an abnormality, there were several people dressed as servants with daggers, after being discovered, they fought directly with the guards, but they were not opponents at all, and they were twisted by the guards and sent to Xia Yunting.
"Those are all from the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Someone recognized it and looked at Xing Jie, Xing Jie's eyes were flustered: "How did they get in?" Virtuous son-in-law, this ......"
With a "swish", before Xing Jie finished speaking, Xia Yunting slashed one with a swing of his knife, and the scene instantly smelled of blood.
Everyone present was stunned.
Before they could react, Xia Yunting snorted a few more times, killing the remaining ones, leaving not a single one alive.
"Heighten security and don't let any suspicious people slip in."
Xia Yunting looked at Xing Jie and said coldly: "Lord Prime Minister, there are so many assassins in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have to take care of your subordinates!" ”
Xing Jie's face was embarrassed.
"They are also disguised ......"
At this time, Zhang Can personally checked everyone's faces, and there were no traces of disfigurement.
Xing Jie shut up, his face turned greener than before.
The eyes of the guests present were also a little wrong when they looked at Xing Jie.
It is rumored that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion have long had old grievances, Xia Yunting and his father were impeached by Xing Jie when he was alive, but he didn't expect that he would dare to make trouble at the wedding scene given by the emperor......
Xia Yunting just killed these subordinates, without digging into it, it was simply too magnanimous.
Then the scene resumed its liveliness, but several people died on this day, and the atmosphere was somewhat wrong.
Rong Zhi didn't hear what was happening in front of her, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Xia Yunting was assassinated as soon as he came back, and now that there are so many people at the wedding, it is a good time to fish in troubled waters, and there will be more people in Baoqi......
She better go out and have a look, she finally got in, if someone kills Xia Yunting again, she won't come in vain.
Rong Zhi glanced around, not to mention knives in this new house, there is not even a sharp object, how can this rope be cut?
Mama Gu hasn't come back yet, she must have been detained by them.
Rong Zhi took a deep breath and kicked the bed frame twice.
Soon a guard from outside came: "Madam, is there something wrong?" ”
As she spoke, she ripped the rag from her mouth.
Rong Zhi's mouth was sour, and she moved for a while before saying, "I want to go to the thatched house." ”
The guard went out without changing his face, and after a while, he took a night pot and put it on the ground, untied the rope for Rong Zhi, went out and closed the door, still guarding outside.
The whole movement is smooth and natural.
The corners of Rong Zhi's mouth twitched, do they often put others under house arrest, so they are so skilled.
After making sure that the other party would not peek, Rong Zhi poured all the tea on the table into it, took out a sachet from her underwear, took out a small pill from it and threw it in, and the pill quickly dissolved.
Rong Zhi covered her nose and retreated to the bed: "Let's go!" ”
The guard walked in again, picked up the night pot, and began to shake it before he had taken two steps.
Rong Zhi counted in the back.
"Three, two, one......"
Boom!
The guard fell to the ground.
Rong Zhi curled the corners of her lips.
Drunken Tianxian is colorless and tasteless, you can sleep for three days and three nights if you inhale a little, you can sleep well!
"What's going on?"
When the guards outside heard the movement, they ran in one after another, and before they could see the situation clearly, they were already floating in their footsteps, and they all fell down after a while.
Rong Zhi saw that there was no one outside, so she sneaked out and hid her figure in the dark.
It was late at night, the guests were scattered, and there was not even a happy person, except for the red silk hanging around, it was not obvious that it was a marriage, but more like being imprisoned.
Rong Zhi was dodging the guards while looking for Xia Yunting.
A brightly lit room in the backyard was filled with the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Rong Zhi walked over curiously, looked through the window, and found that several people in black were rummaging through several large boxes.
It was the dowry of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was not gold, silver and jewelry, but a black patch.
Is that...... Gunpowder!
There are 20 large chests, and they are full of gunpowder! Once it is ignited, Mo said that this house, even the entire General's Mansion will become a sea of fire.
Those people are sneaky, scattering gunpowder and looking around, they must not be good people.
They're going to blow up the General's Palace!
Rong Zhi couldn't help but sigh - this great general is really full of disasters, he was assassinated as soon as he entered the imperial city, and even the wedding night was calculated, and I don't know how many assassinations there were in secret.
She didn't deal with the assassins head-on, because she didn't know the strength of the other party, and secondly, she was afraid that she would provoke them and ignite the gunpowder, which would be bad.
Or hurry up and tell Xia Yunting that it is important for him to escape.
Rong Zhi left quietly.
She found Xia Yunting in the front yard.
He is still dressed in a wedding dress, dressed in the moonlight, standing with his hands in his hands.
Zhang Can knelt beside him: "It's useless for my subordinates, I haven't been able to find out the person behind the killer for so long, please punish the general." ”
"It has nothing to do with you, looking at the situation, I'm afraid they have already been ambushed in the imperial city, if someone has the heart to shelter, it is normal for you to not find out."
His voice was calm, as if he had expected this outcome.
"What does the general mean...... Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
What are you talking about at this time?
Rong Zhi immediately rushed out and shouted loudly: "Xia Yunting, someone wants to blow up the General's Mansion with gunpowder, hurry up!" ”
Xia Yunting and Zhang Can turned their heads suddenly, and their two eyes fell on Rong Zhi, one dignified and the other confused.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Can pulled out his saber and put it on Rong Zhi's neck.
Rong Zhi did not resist and continued: "I have no malice, what I saw with my own eyes just now, the dowry box is full of gunpowder, and if you can't save it, you can only run away!" ”
Zhang Can was taken aback: "General, I'll take a look." ”
"Wait a minute." Xia Yunting stopped Zhang Can.
He looked at Rong Zhi with a cold gaze: "The backyard is full of guards, where did the people come from to put gunpowder, I have already sent someone to check it, there is no problem with the dowry, who are you, what do you want to do when you sneak into the General's Mansion?" ”
Zhang Can also reacted and looked at Rong Zhi vigilantly.
yes, how did this girl get in?
Rong Zhi's eyes widened, how could he seem to see himself for the first time?
This general, bad memory?
Xia Yunting picked up the oil lamp on the stone table and illuminated Rong Zhi's face.
He asked Zhang Can, "Have you ever seen her?" ”
Zhang Can took a closer look and shook his head: "I've never seen it, and it doesn't look like it's with that group of assassins." ”
Xia Yunting's eyes sank, and a trace of murderous aura flashed on his face.
Rong Zhixiu frowned, he didn't want to kill himself, right?
"Tie it up, I'll judge it myself."
"Yes!"
Zhang Can found a rope and wanted to tie her up.
Rong Zhi sighed deeply.
It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people!
Just as Zhang Can approached her, Rong Zhi took out a silver needle from her sleeve, ready to get out after fixing Zhang Can.
Before he could do anything, there was a sudden loud "bang", and a burst of red fire rose into the sky in the backyard, and the heat wave surged, sweeping towards the front yard.
Almost instantly, there was a cry for help in the backyard.
"It's on fire!"
Xia Yunting and Zhang Can looked at each other.
There's really gunpowder!
"Look, what am I talking about?"
Rong Zhi withdrew the silver needle and looked at Xia Yunting with a solemn face.
"General, I'll take a look."
Zhang Can hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Xia Yunting was also about to go over, but was grabbed by Rong Zhi: "What are you going to, such a fire, if you go, you will be sent to death!" ”
"Why save me?"
"I have a request for you!" Rong Zhi raised her voice: "You can't die!" If you want to die, you have to help me first. ”
Xia Yunting's expression was complicated, and suddenly he seemed to have made up his mind, picked up the person, and flew into the backyard with two jumps.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Rong Zhi closed her eyes tightly, and she ...... Afraid of heights!
In the blink of an eye, it has landed.
The stable had not yet been burned, but there was smoke billowing from it, and a tall, strong, shiny black horse raised its hooves restlessly.
Xia Yunting took out the dark horse and said to Rong Zhi: "If you really want to help me, go to the suburbs with Xiao Hei to wait for me." ”
After saying that, he handed her another token.
Blackie?
Is that the name of the horse?
Rong Zhi looked at the word "Xia" on the token, and hesitated, could she believe Xia Yunting?
Xia Yunting added: "I sent someone to arrange the gunpowder." ”
