Chapter 238 Eunuch Arrived

In the first year of Yong'an, the ceremony of the sacrifice was more solemn.

The sacrificial dojo was changed from the Feng'an Hall to the Ling'en Hall of the Holy Ancestor Emperor Zhu Wengui's Mausoleum Palace, and the Ling'en Hall was built according to the Fengtian Temple, which is the highest level building in the Tianshou Mountain Emperor's Mausoleum.

The gate of the main hall was open, and the banner cover was divided into two rows from the gate of the hall and lined up along the walkway to the forbidden gate in the distance.

Outside the forbidden gate was lined up with a queue of officials to greet the emperor and queen, in the center was the prince of the clan headed by Zhu Xunkun, the king of Zhenghuainan, and on both sides were the civil and military officials who accompanied the sacrifice.

A light rain fell in the sky, but the officials stood solemnly one by one, silent.

Suddenly, three crisp whips shattered the cold silence, and then the rustling of footsteps came with the vibration of the ground.

Twelve dragon flags and twelve palace lanterns, followed by the dragon flag is a column of neat and powerful steps listed with Jin Yue, lying melon, standing melon, Yue axe and other honor guards of the brocade captain, followed by the eunuch holding the imperial object, after a team of passes, the rumbling wheels, Zhu Wucheng's dragon slowly coming,

Zhu Xunkun, the king of Huainan, took a step forward and shouted loudly, "Kneel down and welcome!"

All the officials knelt down in the dark.....

.............

Lijiayu is located in the northeast of the Shahe River to eight or nine miles, most of the hundreds of families in the village have hid in the Shahe, the whole village is empty, today suddenly a large number of people, not only fierce and vicious, but also all with knives, a number of people who joined in the excitement were all beaten, this time they are hiding in the house and dare not come out.

Sun Shaozu's family was sitting in the courtyard of a house, surrounded by dozens of guards with knives, their eyes were full of murderous energy, looking at the two old men on the ground viciously, but the arms and legs of the two old men were broken, and the people had passed out.

At this time, a guard carried a bucket of water and threw it at the two old men.

Looking at the two old men who woke up, the family said viciously, "Say it quickly! Where have you hidden them?"

He found a pair of twin sisters in this village, although the appearance is average, but it will definitely make Sun Shaozu more satisfied, who knows that he will disappear when he goes back, how can he go back and explain?

The old woman was dying and could not speak, and the old man's breath was faint: "Old, old man..... I don't know what you're talking about?"

The guy smiled, "Good! If you let Lao Tzu can't pay the errand, Lao Tzu will take your life to pay the errand. Come!"

At this time, one of the guards ran in and excitedly said, "Find, find! Fuck it, it's hiding in that little girl's house."

"Oh?"

The family was stunned, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, Sun Shaozu's personality he knew too well, if he didn't bring the pair of twin sisters back, what was waiting for him would be very cruel torture.

"What about them? Did you bring it?"

"To avoid trouble, I stuffed it directly into the carriage."

Jia Ding was overjoyed: "Good! Let's go now, and try to get to the Tianshou Mountain camp before dark."

After a pause, "Take these two old things away and dispose of them."

.............

The night was deep, a crescent moon hung in the night sky, and a team of soldiers with swords replaced the forbidden soldiers who originally guarded the palace, and lined up on both sides of the palace gate.

A group of forbidden troops with guns and knives patrolled along the Tianshou Mountain Palace and the Sleeping Palace.

At this moment, a lantern shone on the three people towards the dormitory. ….

The officer on duty shouted, "Who?"

When someone approached, it was Dong Shan, the eunuch who was in charge of the celebrant and the eunuch Dong Shan, with two big eunuchs.

The officer hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Chief Dong!"

Dong Shan: "Are you okay?"

The officer: "Back to the chief, everything is normal, patrols have been added around the dormitory, and sentry posts have been sent to the Bell and Drum Tower according to the will of the Marquis of Zhongwu."

"How many?"

"Two."

Dong Shan frowned, and then the officer hurriedly said, "Every other stick of incense, there will be patrols to check, and there will be no accidents."

"Hmm."

Dong Shan put his mind at ease,

"Be on an errand and keep an eye on everything!"

"Yes."

Dong Shan nodded and walked into the dormitory with the two big eunuchs.

The lights in the dormitory were bright, and Zhu Wucheng sat in front of the book.

Dong Shan walked over at this time, twisted out a face towel from the copper basin and handed it to Zhu Wucheng with both hands: "Your Majesty, it's very late at night, it's time for you to rest."

Zhu Wucheng suddenly waved his hand, stood up, and looked out of the hall: "I always feel that something is wrong!"

Dong Shan was silent.

"Is the Queen safe?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Dong Shan immediately replied, "Niangniang has taken the medicine and has rested."

Zhu Wucheng nodded, the queen was already not in good health, and she had been on the road for two days in a row, and it rained heavily when she worshiped her ancestors today, and there was a fever after dusk, and there were several small eunuchs missing in the mausoleum, which cast a shadow on his heart.

"Where's Jia Jue?" Zhu Wucheng asked again.

Dong Shan: "Back to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongwu is taking the generals of the forbidden army and the Rui Shi battalion to inspect various sentry posts, and sentry posts and patrol posts have also been temporarily added to the dormitory side."

Zhu Wucheng nodded.

"It's not a slave who speaks for the Marquis of Zhongwu, not to mention the relationship between the concubine and the lady, it's like this, it can be seen that he still has His Majesty in his heart and is loyal to His Majesty."

"That's right." Zhu Wucheng still looked outside the hall: "The first emperor used to be very fond of the king of Shu, I was pressed in everything, and the queen mother died early, there are no brothers and sisters, except for you who can say two words of truth, no one else can be trusted." Who would have thought that it was Jia Jue who saved my life in danger. I am grateful in my heart, but unfortunately, we can't be friends after all."

Dong Shan was overjoyed, turned around silently, washed the towel in a copper basin, and presented it to Zhu Wucheng.

Zhu Wucheng took the face towel and wiped his face, and didn't turn his head back, "Tell them to be careful tonight."

"Yes! Minions understand."

Dong Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you bring in a team of firecrackers from the Ruishi Battalion?"

Zhu Wucheng's heart moved when he said this, and then he thought of the murderous aura that made him very uncomfortable, so he just shook his head, still standing there, motionless.

...........

In the camp outside Tianshou Mountain, Sun Shaozu is already ready to sleep, since the third day of the third month of March led the troops to garrison the Shahe Palace, he has already been *** high, where can he survive tonight, fortunately, he was sent to the camp before dark.

After sending away Langzhong of the military department who came to order Mao, Sun Shaozu handed over all the military affairs to his deputy and hurried back to the big tent himself.

The big tent was brightly lit, and there were three young girls standing by the bed, one of whom was the girl, who was staring at him with fierce eyes at the moment, ignoring her, Sun Shaozu looked at the twin sisters, with an average appearance, but they were younger, and they looked exactly the same, he lifted the chin of one of them with a leather whip, and asked, "Sister?" ….

The woman looked shy: "Sister."

Looking at this lovely appearance, a strong *** rose from Sun Shaozu's abdomen, and with a wave of his hand, the family put down the tent with a smile, and then withdrew.

Sun Shaozu squinted at them and said with a smile, "Take off all your clothes!"

The sisters blushed and lowered their heads.

Sun Shaozu was a little impatient, and waved his hand: "Take it off, otherwise I will send you to the barracks."

Sure enough, the sisters were so frightened that they untied their belts tremblingly, and the two outer robes fell at Sun Shaozu's feet.

[Recommended,@

They all serve me, and when you are done, I will let you live a life of fine clothes and food."

At this moment, the girl pulled out a very thin and long needle from her belt, she slowly walked towards Sun Shaozu, Sun Shaozu heard the footsteps behind him, and before he could react, there was a sharp pain in the back of his neck, in the end, he had little strength, and he couldn't penetrate too deeply, Sun Shaozu turned around reluctantly, grabbed her neck, and crushed her neck with a "Kacha" sound, at this moment, I don't know if it was my sister or sister who stretched out her hand and pierced all the thin needles into Sun Shaozu's stamina, and then he fell down like pouring firewood.

The voice was very small, but for the silent night, the family and the guards outside were still aware of it, and the family member was cautious: "Master."

As soon as the words fell, there was a heavy panting in the big tent.

The family and the guards looked at each other and smiled, and they all walked away from the big tent.

In the big tent, the girl sat in front of the book on the edge of the collapse, took a piece of paper and spread it on the eucalyptus, took the pen and ink, quickly wrote a line of words, and then took out the seal from the box on the book and covered it squarely on the lower right side of the paper.

Sun Shaozu's eyes were about to crack, and he could see at a glance that it was his own handwriting, and they wanted to fake their military orders.

At this moment, the deputy's anxious voice came from outside the tent: "General, there is a situation in the direction of the palace!"

In Sun Shaozu's astonished gaze, the girl pinched her throat and panted and asked, "What, what's the matter?"

Listening to the coquettish panting inside, the deputy was not suspicious, and said directly: "The patrol found that someone had crossed the mountain pass, and there were not a few of them, it seems that they want to attack the palace at night."

There was no reply, only the sound of heavy breathing and the crash, which subsided after a while, and after a while, a young girl came out with her undershirt and handed the warrant: "The general asked me to give it to you." After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the big tent.

The deputy looked at the light of the torch, and on the paper was Sun Shaozu's handwritten warrant - to lead a thousand forbidden troops to support the palace.

The deputy's palm twitched, and he looked at the big tent in surprise. ….

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the enemy and friend are unknown, what is the difference between this and sending them to death?

The deputy hesitated for a moment, and then said, "General, are you waiting for news from the palace first?"

"Get out!"

The family also walked over and said, "Our lord's temper has always been like this, please forgive the general!"

After a pause, "You just do what the military orders."

The deputy's chest rose and fell violently, his eyes flashed with coldness, and then he said viciously, "Get out!" Then strode away.

...........

The Feng'an Hall of the Heavenly Blessing Emperor's Mausoleum Palace is also brightly lit.

The candles in front of the altar were lit, and Zhu Dakang, the king of Yizhong County, knelt down on the futon, bowed three times to the god of Zhu Qinde, the blessed emperor of heaven, and knelt there, his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth was full of words.

Suddenly, the door of the temple was pushed open.

The eunuch in charge of the imperial tomb hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Zhu Dakang's ear.

Zhu Dakang opened his eyes suddenly, was stunned at first, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity, another innocent person was swept in."

..........

The forbidden army outside the dormitory was still patrolling nervously, and there was a faint muffled hum from the drum tower opposite the bell tower, the sound was very small, and the distant night patrol forbidden army did not hear it.

Beneath the drum seat lay a forbidden soldier, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were wide open!

The two men next to him dressed in forbidden army armor took out the crossbow arrows that were separated and hidden in the secret compartment of the drum base, and quickly assembled them while keeping an eye on the situation outside.

..........

The night was deep, a group of forbidden army soldiers were patrolling back and forth on the arrow tower, suddenly, a soldier ran quickly to the edge of the arrow tower, looking nervously into the distance, at this moment, a cluster of fire light came into view, and then the firelight was connected into a piece, and a fire dragon was rushing along the post road to the side of the palace.

"! Are all the people outside the mountain dead?"

The soldier scolded, picked up the hammer and rang the alarm,

The piercing bell rang through the palace, and there was a great chaos in the palace, and at this moment, a firework shot straight into the night sky, exploding in the air, releasing brilliant sparks.

The commander of the forbidden army ran up the city wall in disheveled clothes and asked loudly, "What's wrong?"

Groups of forbidden troops rushed in the direction of the arrow tower.

There were countless black-clothed people lurking under the dark palace walls, and after the forbidden army on the city wall left, they immediately threw the iron anchor in their hands, and the iron anchor hooked tightly into the city bricks.

Countless black-clothed men with knives on their backs climbed the palace wall with ropes on their backs.

"Who!" A group of Praetorian troops happened to pass by.

"Kill!" With a low shout, the man in black brandished a big knife and rushed towards the forbidden army, although he quickly killed the forbidden army, but the sound of the fight had already alarmed the surrounding forbidden army.

Although these men in black were very good and quickly dealt with the forbidden army that came to support the three or four teams, when the forbidden army recovered from the initial chaos, the battle began to tilt towards the forbidden army again.

Groups of forbidden soldiers wielded swords and guns from the east and west palace walls, some of the men in black fell, and some of the men in black fell! On the southern wall of the palace, more and more forbidden troops gathered.

At this moment, three explosive packets burning with black smoke were thrown into the crowd of forbidden soldiers, and at the same time, those forbidden soldiers also discovered the anomaly, and one of the forbidden soldiers recognized the explosive packets, his face immediately changed, and he shouted, "It's explosives! Get down!" ….

As soon as the words fell, the explosive bags exploded one after another in the crowd of the forbidden army, and the air waves generated by each explosion lifted dozens of forbidden soldiers around them high, and the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, and the soldiers who did not die were either injured by the iron beads mixed with gunpowder, or were blown off by the air waves and fell off the palace wall, and suddenly screams and wails resounded through the south palace wall.

Such a scene stunned the other forbidden soldiers who had just arrived, and before they could reflect it, three or four explosive bags were thrown over, and after a burst of explosion, the palace walls were in a mess, blood flowed all over the ground, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the forbidden soldiers who did not die fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

The remaining forbidden troops turned and fled for their lives in desperation, and the men in black ignored it and rushed down the palace walls, some of them went to open the city gates, and some of them began to set fires.

Jia Jue, who was hurrying, also heard the explosion, this scene Jia Jue was too familiar, he had used it in Harrier Ridge, and he had also used it in Hangai Mountain, and the number of grassland killed and injured was countless, and now it was used by the enemy on the Ming army.

At this time, a fire broke out in the direction of the south gate, and Jia Jue waved his hand: "You don't need to go to the south gate, immediately retreat into the dormitory!"

..........

The lights in the side hall were all extinguished, and more than 100 forbidden troops blocked the water around the entire side hall, as if facing a great enemy, Zhu Wucheng stood sideways by the window, looking at the direction of the south gate, he also heard the explosion, and then saw the sky-high fire, his face was very grim, whiter than the cold moon in the sky.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the dormitory." Dong Shan reminded in a whisper.

"No need." Zhu Wucheng waved his hand, "I don't believe that two thousand forbidden troops plus one thousand Sharp Soldiers and Battalion Fire Soldiers can't protect my safety!"

At this moment, a lantern illuminated two people walking towards the side hall.

"Who?" The forbidden army shouted at the general manager.

"Me."

When someone approached, it was Jia Yucun, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Nan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Mr. Qian was stunned at first, and then stepped forward to persuade, "Two adults, please go back."

Jia Yucun: "Is Your Majesty safe?"

Mr. Qian hesitated slightly, and suddenly, Zhu Wucheng's voice came from the hall: "Come in."

Jia Yucun actually walked in like this with a lantern.

The two black-clothed men lurking in the drum tower finally saw the four figures in the side hall through the light, and after hesitation, the two of them aimed their crossbow arrows at the two figures standing in the middle.

With a crisp sound of "rattle", two crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the drum tower and shot straight towards the side hall.

Zhu Wucheng screamed, rolled over and fell to the ground, Dong Shan woke up like a dream, and shouted loudly, "There are assassins!"

At this time, Jia Jue arrived with people, and he shouted: "No one should panic, the forbidden army is on the wall to protect Your Majesty." The Sharp Battalion arrests people

。」 As he spoke, he ordered his own soldiers to bring a team of people to find the imperial doctor.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Jia Jue turned around and walked towards the side hall, just when he heard Dong Shan's shout, and realized that something was wrong, he stopped, held his breath, and became a little scared in his heart.

At this time, a roar came from the square: "Lao Tzu shot the emperor, hahaha.... Even if it is worth dying, your emperor will be a eunuch even if he does not die! Hahaha....."

The emperor's eunuch?!

Jia Jue took a deep breath and strode in, Dong Shan was holding Zhu Wucheng and crying, he saw a crossbow arrow stuck in Zhu Wucheng's body at a glance..... Abdomen? Lower?

"Jia Shangshu! Jia Shangshu!"

There was another shout from the side, and Jia Yu followed the voice, only to see Jia Yucun fall to the ground, with a crossbow arrow inserted in his body.... It's also the lower body!

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the main hall of the dormitory.

Will sleep during the day
