Chapter 501: The Palace Responds
Suo Lekang colluded with Sheng Lingren to enter the palace to assassinate the current emperor.
Because of the martial arts conference, Sheng Ling had to lead his two sons to participate in order to attract everyone's eyes and ears, so he had to hand over the men and horses to Suo Lekang's command.
Sheng Ling people also knew that Prince Xiao would come to participate in the martial arts conference in person, so they also had more confidence in Suo Lekang and others.
Sheng Ling had already prepared hundreds of sets of official and military clothes, and then planned to let his subordinates change into them, and let Suo Lekang lead everyone into the palace to assassinate. If not seen through, this is a clever plan.
Suo Lekang led two hundred temple disciples, and then turned into an official army, swaggering towards the noon gate. Solekang didn't know if this token was right or not, so he was still a little uneasy. It wasn't until the guard took a moment's look and then let him go that he was truly relieved.
Suo Lekang was not familiar with the palace, and he didn't know where the Sheng Ling people should be, so he was very anxious, and he didn't know where to go.
At this time, suddenly two brocade guards came over and asked, "Hey! Who are we? ”
"General Lu Xiao's subordinates." Solokang replied.
"Oh! Come with me! Hearing this, the two brocade guards looked at their tokens again, and then led the way in front.
Solekang and Hegao don't know the truth and reality, and they don't know when Na Nei should appear, if these two brocade guards see the flaw, then their efforts will be wasted.
Solekang and Hegao became more and more nervous, but for fear of revealing their identities, they still had to follow closely behind the two brocade guards. Solekang led people to follow the two brocade guards to a slightly more hidden alley, and only then did the two brocade guards finally show a token, which was exactly the same as the one in Solekang's hand.
It turned out that these two people were Sheng Lingren's internal response in the palace.
"It's you, scared us to death, I thought my identity was exposed!" Hegao patted his chest and calmed down a little.
"There are many eyes and ears in the palace, so you'd better talk less." One of the brocade guards said.
"Where is the little emperor?" Solekang asked.
"In the upper study. However, we can only show you the way, and it is inconvenient for us to show up for the time being, and everything depends on you. Another brocade guard said.
"That's no problem, you can take us to find the little emperor." Solekang agreed.
"Okay. Please follow me. As the two spoke, they followed the path and led Suo Lekang and the others straight to the upper study.
Because of the fear of exposure, Solekang and the others acted quickly, and they had Neiying to lead the way, and the road was unimpeded, and they soon came to a place not far from Shangshu.
Because there were still many officers and soldiers guarding the upper study, and it was extremely well protected, the two brocade guards did not dare to go over. However, when Solekang saw that the two of them could actually bring them here, he really didn't expect it.
"It seems that the identities of these two brocade guards must be unusual! I just don't know, who are they? Solekang said, and looked at the two of them carefully, but saw that they seemed to be somewhat familiar. Solekang didn't think much about it, and said to the two again: "Okay then! We'll take care of the rest! ”
The two brocade guards agreed, and they both left quickly. It was also difficult for Solekang to ask about their identities, because he knew that the two would not say anything.
Solekang didn't have time to think about these questions, and the most important thing he had to do right now was to think about how to successfully assassinate the emperor. He saw that the front of the study was heavily guarded, guarded by dozens of soldiers, and the situation around him and in the house was not very clear.
Suo Lekang suddenly regretted a little, just now he didn't ask the two brocade guards about the situation around the study, this seemed to be a mistake.
However, the arrow was ready to go and had to be sent.
Solekang and Hegao decided to launch a sneak attack inside, trying to eliminate all the guards as quickly as possible, and then rushed directly into the assassination.
The decision has been decided, and as soon as Solekang gave the order, Hegao led everyone to suddenly attack, and only went to the upper study to kill.
When the officers and soldiers of the guards saw that someone suddenly attacked and was still dressed as officers and soldiers, they were naturally a little panicked. However, Solekang and the others were extremely fast and ruthless, and many of the guards had already been cut to the ground before they could draw their weapons.
The people in the house heard the movement, and immediately opened the door and came out, but they were all brocade guards with embroidered spring knives, and one of them was popular, and at a glance he knew that he was a first-class master.
"Such a bold assassin, you dare to come to the study to assassinate me, take it down for me." As the man spoke, the embroidered spring knife "buzzed" out of its sheath and came straight to Suo Lekang.
This man was a man of great martial arts and eyesight, and with a single glance, he knew that Solekang was the most martial artist among the Assassins, so he took him straight at him with his sword.
Suo Lekang led two hundred dead soldiers to attack suddenly, killing many officers and soldiers in an instant, and for a time he actually gained an advantage in numbers. Although the Jinyi guards in the house were strong in martial arts, there were only more than 20 people, and they were immediately surrounded by them.
The leader of this Jinyi Guard is actually Wang Jinghao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. He and Solekang have a lot of tricks, but they attack and defend each other, and neither can win quickly.
"Loyalty, take the emperor to leave the study first." Wang Jinghao knew that the upper study had been surrounded, so he ordered the loyalty of the four envoys of Jinyi.
"Hegao, you take people in, don't let the little emperor run away." Solekang also immediately ordered.
He is strong in martial arts, and he is brave, leading people to rush inside, but the Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers can't stop them. He Gao rushed into the upper study, and sure enough, he saw the emperor looking at him with a shocked expression.
"Little Emperor, suffer death!" Hegao said, and the long knife slashed out with a "whirl", straight to the top of the emperor's head.
The emperor was just about to dodge, when suddenly there was another sword sound, and one person killed out of thin air, just in front of Hegao.
"It's you again!" Hegao actually knew the man, so he only said hatefully.
"That's right, it's Gu." It turned out that this person was actually the serpentine sword Gu Song, and he and Suo Lekang's master and apprentice happened to be a pair of mortal enemies who did not share the sky.
"You take the emperor first, and leave it to me here." Gu Song then said to the four envoys of Jinyi.
When Zhongyi and others heard this, they protected the emperor and fled from the study first, and then urgently dispatched guards from all over the palace to surround and suppress the assassins.
Suo Lekang failed to make a surprise attack in the upper study, so naturally the attack and defense were exchanged in an instant, and they immediately fell into the encirclement and suppression of many officers and soldiers.
Suo Lekang fought against Wang Jinghao, but he could not win for a long time, and at this time, more officers and soldiers were rushing to arrive, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Suo Lekang was in a hurry, and suddenly made the fingerprint of the release of the knot, and attacked Wang Jinghao first. Wang Jinghao didn't know what was going on, and he also took out his palm, and the palm prints intersected, and Wang Jinghao suddenly felt a strong force penetrating into his whole body muscles and bones, as if he was going to split the bones of his whole body in an instant.
Wang Jinghao made a careless move, and was injured by Suo Lekang's fingerprints of the Liberation Knot, and immediately fell to the ground.
Suo Lekang suddenly changed his tactics to repel Wang Jinghao, and immediately led people to chase and kill the emperor.
