Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Night of Murder on a Dark and Windy Night
Grunt......
Four carriages, loaded with large wooden barrels, swayed through the long street, gradually came to the back alley of Wutong Street, and stopped outside the kitchen of Sifangzhai.
Zhe Yunli wore a hat and dressed as a chivalrous woman, prostrate on the building, looked down at the huge chef's courtyard, and saw that the mist was steaming, and there was an open-air stove in the middle, on which a lamb was roasted, and the apprentice was brushing the sauce next to it, and it was shiny oily, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside......
"Twitter!!"
When the bird saw this, his eyes were straight, and his paws and paws were a little disobedient to the call.
Zhe Yunli hurriedly pressed the bird's head down, carefully observed the kitchen that might be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and found that a white-bearded old man walked out of the house with a cigarette pouch and came to a few taels of carriages:
"How do you buy so much?"
"Alas, there are many goods coming, and the owner is in a hurry to sell, asking for a cheap price, half selling and half giving away......"
"Haven't you heard of cheap or good goods? What to eat in the customer's mouth, can you pick a bargain? ”
"I have checked, the goods of Yanzhou Sauce Wangfang are in good condition......"
The white-bearded old man looked quite fierce, so he asked the guy to lift the tarpaulin, randomly found a wooden barrel that had not been opened, and after priing open the lid, he took out the sauce brick from it and weighed it:
"Huh! It's really the goods of the sauce king...... Open it to see if it is wrapped in yellow mud, and Yan Shang's heart is black......
"Okay......"
……
Seeing that the kitchen guy really cut the sauce cube, Zhe Yunli couldn't help but feel dazed, and then, his eyes were shocked.
I saw that after the two guys separated the sauce bricks, the inside and outside were almost the same, they were all authentic Yanzhou sauce, and the same was true for opening a few pieces.
Even the old chef below was stunned at this scene, and he didn't understand how the Yan merchants at the dock suddenly started charity.
And after Zhe Yunli was dazed for a moment, he secretly said that something was wrong, and he knew that he had won the plan - there were dozens of wooden barrels in the cabin, and only the Yanzhou sauce should have been moved away to hide people's eyes, and the real thing was still on the ship.
After Zhe Yunli reacted, he immediately got up and ran in the direction of the outside of the city, ran a few steps and threw out the bird who was still looking at the roast sheep:
"Go and find Cousin Shock, say that the thing is still on the ship, let him ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ——!!!"
Before he finished speaking, a dense drum beat suddenly came from the city wall, and the city was instantly silent.
Then there was another uproar, and the officers and soldiers who were routinely patrolling the streets were caught and ran towards the eastern city wall almost at the same time.
Stomp ......
Zhi Yunli chuckled in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly threw the bird out and ran towards the imperial city......
——
On the other side, Yutan Villa.
The sky is not yet completely dark, and the gorgeous palace lights have been lit up on the middle of the mountain.
The palace maid who won the ball game today was commended by the empress and held a dinner party in the villa, in which many palace maids sang and danced to celebrate.
The losers' group is pitiful and works as usual in the villa, and can only envy a few glances from afar.
Dongfang left the person as the king of Chaojing, and he could not be punished to work if he lost, and after nightfall, he sat in the study, with a stack of files in front of him, and slowly flipped through it with a golden pen in his hand:
"Dongfang Shuoyue has not left the capital for ten years, what can he do in secret?"
It has been several days since Night Terror Hall got the news of Nanxiao Mountain, and at this time, the imperial court reacted, and it was difficult for the Pingtian Sect Master to know that it was leaked by Ning'er, so he came back and asked about it, and he had already told the general situation, of course, the source still said that Xuanji Zhenren accidentally found out.
Standing behind the chair of Dongfang Liren, Night Terror Hall bowed his head to examine the file together, and responded:
"I guess King Yan is planning behind it. As long as something happens to the saint, King Yan is a vested beneficiary......"
Dongfang Liren shook his head: "How can there be such a child's play in the inheritance of the imperial throne; This is the same as the Jianghu sect, the old head who has the grace to cultivate and nurture you is dead, and he passes on the throne to his son, and you want to replace him, so that he can chop up his son openly? Do you think you can sit firmly in the position of the head of the house? ”
"The Emperor's House also pays attention to these?"
"I don't talk about it in private, but I still have to make a show on the table. No matter how much anti-reluctance King Yan had, it was impossible for him to think of pouring dirty water on himself by killing the king. I suspect that there are other forces, such as the Green Bandits, Northern Liang, Pingtianjiao and even King Liang, who are supporting Dongfang Shuoyue to rebel behind their backs, and want to use the way that the wood is already in the boat to force King Yan to rebel. ”
After Dongfang Liren spoke for a while, he closed the file and frowned again:
"Black feather grass is not a poison, the effect is short and it does not hurt people, and Dawei is also rare, and there is no doctor who will study the antidote to this thing. Specializing in the study of an antidote with immediate results, if you are lucky, it will take ten days and half a month, and when a large number of them are allocated and distributed to the forbidden army, it will be next month...... The prince of Yan chose the black feather grass, because he found out the medicine reserves of the imperial court and exploited the loopholes, if he really let him start, the forbidden army outside the villa would inevitably collapse the camp......"
"It's really hard to watch out for gas warfare, but this thing eats the weather, and the tailwind is strong and the headwind is easy to hurt yourself......"
Night Terror Hall wanted to speak, but his brow suddenly furrowed, and he turned his eyes to look out the window.
Dongfang Liren looked back and then looked at the window as well, his ears moved slightly, as if he heard a little noise coming from the bottom of the mountain:
"What's going on?"
"Where to go to the water, how can there be a smell of smoke......"
……
Night Terror Hall stared slightly, walked quickly to the study window, and looked out of the mountain, it can be seen that on the Baishi Avenue under the mountain, there are many forbidden army commanders running to the riverside, and there are also some secret guards in Zhuangzi who jumped on the roof and looked left and right.
At this time, it was already night, and the warm river breeze was blowing in his face, and Night Terror Hall sniffled, and sure enough, he smelled a faint smell of smoke, he carefully scanned the river, and soon found a red dot on the river surface upstream.
Because of the distance, he picked up the binoculars in the room and looked at it, only to see that it was a ship, the entire deck was covered by an unknown object, blocking most of the fire, and only a few tongues of fire could be seen coming out of the cracks in the ship, the light flickered on and off, and it was obvious that the cabin was spewing smoke out.
"I rely on ......"
Night Terror's face changed suddenly, and he quickly put down the binoculars and shouted at the bottom of the mountain:
"Enemy attack! Cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, seal all the main routes in and out, and trespass to kill! ”
Bell Bell Bell –
Shout~~~
Boom!
At the moment when the shouts were heard, the whole mountain villa was directly agitated, and the sound of warning gongs and communication fireworks rose up, and countless guards poured out from everywhere.
And at the same moment, in the woods around Yutan Villa, a dazzling fire suddenly erupted, and the thunderous explosion instantly made up for Jiang Ye:
Boom Boom Boom –
The night was dark and the wind was high, and a series of loud explosions were overwhelming, and there was no trace of the enemy under the cover of the night, let alone how many people were lurking.
The forbidden army did not know the direction of the enemy, so they retreated to the outside of the villa to form a circle and set up a strong crossbow, but they could already see some people falling behind, or running and doing a front flip, obviously not very clear-headed.
The Night Terror Hall secretly said that it was not good, and when he turned around, he picked up Dongfang Liren, who wanted to check at the window, with one hand, and rushed towards the Dragon Washing Pool:
"Cover your nose."
Dongfang Liren was a little caught off guard by the sudden movement, but his calm mind was still there, and he didn't struggle, but hugged the neck of the night terror hall and commanded sharply outside:
"It's black feather grass, the forbidden army can't guard the mountain gate, all the secret guards go to the quiet room to guard the entrance, and order the garrison to rush to the aid immediately......"
Boom Boom Boom –
The deafening loud noise spread far into the mountains and fields, almost suppressing the shouts from all sides, and it was obvious that the opponent was deliberately disrupting the garrison's position.
The Night Terror Hall did not stop for a moment, and rushed directly into the Dragon Washing Pool, which was not far away.
The Empress of Great Wei was bathing in the hot spring pool, and after the loud drinking and loud noises came, she got up and asked the palace maid to put on her bathrobe.
As a result, as soon as the empress was standing on the edge of the bath, and the water droplets were rolling down her delicate and graceful figure, she saw the night terror hall flying up from outside the wall like a monkey in the sky, and landed in front of her with unmistakable accuracy.
Plop –
"Ahh
The empress didn't react yet, but the palace maid who was about to serve and dress next to her was so frightened that she screamed in horror, her expression was terrified.
After the night terror hall landed, I raised my eyes and saw a white flower by the bath, a white ball with water droplets, and a small depression without grass.
But Night Terror didn't have the heart to appreciate the beauty of the concubine out of the bath at this time, so he stepped forward and hugged Yuhu's waist, hugged it and ran to the back of the dragon washing pool.
"Night Terror!"
After all, the empress is a generation of emperors, her mind is strong and scary, even if she is carried away by a man with her bare buttocks, her expression is still calm, she hugs her chest with her hands and frowns:
"The thief is outside the mountain, even if he flies, it will take a while, do you need to be so anxious?"
And Dongfang Liren was held on the other side, and when he saw his sister naked and being held in the arms of her sweetheart, Rao was very anxious and stunned, and then began to help the reckless man explain:
"The thief is so powerful that the origin is unknown, go to the ashram first, and don't care about these small sections."
The Night Terror Hall did not intervene in one hand, and after walking quickly through the round gate behind the Dragon Washing Pool, he came to the garden below the back mountain.
There is a stone room dug out artificially under the back mountain, the walls and floors are made of black rattan bricks, and there is a two-inch thick steel plate in the middle, which is equipped with air holes that can be opened and closed, standing daily necessities and clean water, which can maintain a livelihood for half a month, and there are similar facilities in the palace, which are specially used by the emperor to delay time and wait for the preparation of the Qin Wang army.
Night Terror ran into it and threw Yuhu and Ben Ben directly on the bed. Dongfang Liren didn't care about the rudeness of the man, so he pulled up the thin quilt to cover his sister, and said at the same time:
"What about the Queen Mother? Hurry up and pick up the Queen Mother. ”
The Night Terror Hall did not stop for a moment, turned around and ran out of the stone room, let the four empress's personal female secret guards enter the stone room, and ordered:
"As long as there is movement outside, just put down the sealing stone, don't hesitate, I won't come in to protect the safety of the Queen Mother."
"Yes."
……
——
Boom Boom Boom –
"Hahaha, thunder!"
"Hit your mother's thunder ......"
"Fast Array ......"
The black feather grass directly acts on the consciousness, and the effect of inhaling the smoke is basically immediate, and those with strong physical and willpower can still hold on to their minds, while ordinary people will quickly react.
Because the smoke comes everywhere with the wind, no matter how high the martial arts are, people will inevitably take two puffs, and the secret guard and the black ya, although they are red-faced and red-hearted, they can still distinguish right from wrong, and they have arrived at their respective positions as soon as possible.
And the palace maids who don't know martial arts have begun to cry, laugh and sleepwalk, and were forcibly dragged into the house by people who were still sober and tied to the door. The outer forbidden army fell into chaos, and many generals were doing their best to maintain order.
And the outside of the villa, in the banquet hall.
On the long case made up of several cases, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas and wine, and the palace maids who were rewarded were originally singing, dancing, drinking and having fun in it.
After the sudden loud noise outside came, the more than twenty palace maids in the banquet hall all looked out of the door blankly.
The Queen Mother held a celebration banquet for her generals, and also drank a few glasses, at this time wearing a crimson phoenix skirt, wearing a golden hairpin, with three points of red on her cheeks, leaning on the soft couch to eat grapes.
There was movement outside, and the Queen Mother looked up blankly and asked:
"Ruby, it's thundering outside?"
Hongyu didn't feel that this movement was thundering, and just as she wanted to get up and take a look, gongs and drums sounded outside, and Yang Lan, the personal secret guard, also flew in from the window and quickly hugged the Queen Mother:
"There's some chaos outside, I'll send my mother back to the back mountain to rest."
When the Queen Mother heard that there was a mess, she suddenly woke up from the wine, and hurriedly got up, wanting to go to the back of the villa with Yang Lan.
But as soon as the group walked a few steps, there was suddenly a palace maid behind them, who swayed a few times, and then sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly:
"Wow-"
The Queen Mother was so frightened that her shoulders trembled slightly, and she hurriedly turned around:
"What's wrong?"
As a result, when I turned around, I found that the accompanying palace maids were not behaving right, but they all drank and didn't see it just now, and after she stopped, Hongyu even raised her hand and twitched her ass in a big way:
"Let's go, let's go!"
?!
The Queen Mother inexplicably saw that the palace maids around her were always in good spirits, and she was a little frightened, and grabbed Yang Lan's sleeve.
Yang Lan faintly noticed the agitation of qi and blood, and his spirit was a little trance, knowing that he must have been poisoned, he quickly grabbed the Queen Mother and ran to the back of the villa, and asked:
"Is there anything wrong with the mother?"
The Queen Mother is basically an immortal, and when she encounters danger, she subconsciously runs the method of bathing in the fire diagram, and she may die violently under the knife and axe without a chance to recover, and poison is such a thing, no matter how fast the poison is, it is impossible to catch up with the speed of recovery, not to mention the black feather grass, the wine is awake.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have a problem, the Queen Mother whispered:
"I feel a little dizzy. Soberly pull the people behind you, run faster, don't get lost......"
A short time passed, and there was already a commotion inside the villa, and there were even fires in a few places.
The Queen Mother took the palace maid to trot quickly, and before she walked out of the verandah, she found that a figure fell from the sky and landed directly beside her, and then she couldn't help but say that it was a bear hug and hugged her.
"Huh?!"
The Queen Mother was startled, thinking that she was tied up by a thief, and she wanted to touch the dagger from her leg, but in a blink of an eye, she saw a cold side face close at hand, and her eyes were happy:
"Night Terrors? What's going on out there? Is the Holy One well? ”
"It's a bit of a mess. The saint has already gone to the quiet room, I will send the queen mother over now, Yang Lan, you find a safe room to lock up the palace maids, don't let them run around. ”
Yang Lan saw that the night terror hall was coming, so he naturally handed over the right to guard, and quickly dragged more than a dozen palace maids who had been gradually chaotic into a nearby room.
The Queen Mother was hugged with her feet off the ground, and it was difficult to maintain her balance, so she hugged the neck of the Night Terror Hall and looked around left and right.
As soon as the Night Terror Hall jumped into the corridor, his eyes changed, and he quickly squatted on the ridge of the roof with the Queen Mother, and raised his eyes to look halfway up the mountain.
Bell Bell Bell –
In the night, there was already a conflict in the woods on the west side of the villa, and the sound of gold and iron clashing continued.
And several figures dressed in night clothes forcibly rushed through the chaotic forbidden army and approached in the direction of the Dragon Washing Pool at an astonishing speed.
The leader of the man wore his cloak and volleyed into the air without any movement, like a ghost floating above the house.
There are two people in the rear, one is tall and carries two double knives behind his back; The other wore a dark gold armor with a visor on his face and a long lance in his hand.
After a little look, the night terror hall found that the person in charge was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in the middle of the villa, and threw several people behind him extremely far, and he secretly said that it was not good and immediately burst into tears:
"Seal the door!"
The sound of the explosion was like thunder in the long night, and it spread far away to the entire river bank in an instant, shaking the head of the Queen Mother, who was close at hand, buzzing.
And the next moment, there was a loud bang behind the villa.
Boom –
Boom!
Several people who were speeding towards the back of the villa were stunned at the same time when they saw this figure, and then a man's voice came:
"It's a night terror. Stop him, and we'll break down the door. ”
As soon as the words fell, the cloaked figure that rushed to the front rose into the sky, and then smashed down from the sky, which turned out to be a big jump, smashing directly from the middle of the mountain to the verandah where the night terror hall was located.
?!
When the night terror hall saw this scene, he knew that the person who came was a certain Wu Kui, and he didn't have half a love fight, so he hugged the queen mother and galloped to the other side, wanting to go around and go back to the Dragon Washing Pool.
But this method may be useful for other martial artists, but not for those behind it.
Lu Jieyun's light skills are recognized as unique in the world, and there are many people in the world who can beat him, but the people who can run past him are estimated to be only those old monsters on the mountain, if they don't have this absolute strength, they are not worthy of sitting in the position of the eight leaders.
The night terror hall held the empress dowager in her arms, and just after a few feet of galloping out, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind behind her.
Sa –
Then a figure sped from above, and the cloak spread like a black-winged roc, falling from the sky and smashing directly on the other end of the top of the corridor.
Boom –
Whoa—
Night Terror stopped suddenly, his boots shoveled a long groove in the tiles at the top of the verandah, and when he stopped, he had already turned the Queen Mother behind her back, and bowed down like a tiger to hold the hilt of the knife.
Due to the inertia, the Queen Mother directly hit the back of the Night Terror Hall, and under the nervousness, she hurriedly took out the dagger phoenix gall with her, which was originally held in her hand, but it was slightly changed to a positive grip, and she looked ahead in fright.
Lu Jieyun intercepted the way and did not move immediately, but raised his hand to signal:
"The sword has no eyes, please ask the Queen Mother to move first."
This is not that Lu Jieyun said that martial arts do not beat women, but that the queen mother has a special identity, behind which is the Southeast Meritorious Group, which controls the Jiangzhou Naval Division, and wants to let King Yan sit on the throne, first of all, he has to win over the Southeast Shi clan, and accidentally beat the Queen Mother to death, which is not conducive to the future situation.
And as the two stopped, the secret guard Yang Lan also chased after him, and when he saw this, he came to the Queen Mother and quickly pulled the Queen Mother away.
And the promenade under the moon, surrounded by firelight and noise, also fell into a dead silence at this moment, leaving only two people standing opposite each other......
