Chapter 423: Night Attack
Li Yunze was engrossed in music creation at home, perfecting the "Memory of Daming Palace" played in front of everyone when Daming Palace was renewed.
He fell asleep listening to headphones on, after all, this magnificent and heart-wrenching piece of music is indeed very infectious.
By the time Li Yunze opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window had actually darkened.
Lying on the hot kang and touching his nose, Li Yunze felt that something was wrong.
"Where is Mei Niang?"
Under normal circumstances, at this time, Wu Meiniang would arrange dinner and come over to call him to eat together.
But he woke up, and Wu Meiniang didn't appear.
got up and cleaned up, and came out to greet people, "Where is Mei Niang?" ”
"Owner, the palace sent someone to spread the word, saying that the queen invited the second lady into the palace for a banquet."
"Queen?" Li Yunze raised his eyebrows, and instantly understood the plan of the eldest grandson queen.
This is going to start with Wu Meiniang first.
After all, compared to Li Yunze, who has no worries and doesn't care about anything, Wu Meiniang has parents and a whole martial arts family behind her, she is a real Tang person.
Originally, there was still some embarrassment to Wu Meiniang's attitude, but at this time, Li Yunze's eyes lit up, "Prepare for the horse!" ”
As night fell, Li Yunze galloped on the best road outside Chang'an City.
Rushed all the way to the outside of the city gate, just in time to close the city gate.
There was a curfew in the Tang Dynasty, especially in Chang'an City, which had a curfew every night except for the Shangyuan Festival, and it was inevitable to close the city gate.
Li Yunze quickly stepped up, ignored the shouts and shouts of the defenders of the city gate, and rushed directly into the city gate that was about to close.
"Who is so bold as to dare to break into the city gates!?"
The captain guarding the city was furious, and roared angrily at Li Yunze's distant back, "There is a kind of leaving a name!" ”
"Your Grandpa Li is also~~~"
Lieutenant'( ̄_, ̄)'
There are so many people surnamed Li in Chang'an City, the ghost knows which one you are!
When you go up to Suzaku Street, under the light of the many kerosene lamps along the street, the horse's hooves turn and go straight to the palace like lightning.
When he was about to arrive in front of the palace, he happened to meet the returning Lijiazhuang carriage.
This carriage is very beautiful, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, which is very in line with Wu Meiniang's preference for wealth and nobility, and has always been her car.
Outside the carriage, in addition to Li Jiazhuang's entourage, there was also a lieutenant of the palace with a team of palace guards.
These forbidden soldiers in the palace are all wearing woolen coats provided by Li Yunze, and they are all tall and look heroic.
The carriage stopped, the door opened, and Wu Meiniang, wearing a red cloak, walked out of the carriage.
"Master."
Li Yunze took advantage of the light of the kerosene lamp on the side of the road and carefully looked at Wu Meiniang's expression, "Queen, are you embarrassed?" ”
Originally, Wu Meiniang planned to go home from the train station to ask Li Yunze for clarification, but she was stopped by people in the palace on the way, and finally entered the palace to see Empress Changsun.
In the palace, I talked with the eldest grandson queen for an afternoon, during which the queen specially called Princess Changle over to meet her.
After the queen's patient persuasion, at least Wu Meiniang was able to accept it on the surface.
The words that really touched Empress Changsun were: 'Your master has the ability to reach the sky, if such a powerful person can't get close to the royal family, His Majesty won't be able to sleep peacefully~~~'
Wu Meiniang knew very well that her master had immortal means.
If he really wanted to do something, no one could really stop him.
If the royal family can't form a close relationship with the master, this vigilance and sense of danger will always exist until it explodes directly when it can't bear it anymore.
Whatever the outcome, the present days of satisfaction will inevitably be gone.
As for giving benefits to the martial family, arranging a flat wife or something for her, it's not that important.
Thinking back to the words that Empress Eldest Sun said, and then looking at Li Yunze with a concerned look on his face in front of him, Wu Meiniang's mind suddenly moved slightly, and her red eyes turned her back to him.
Li Yunze's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "What's the matter?" Didn't the queen bully you? If she really bullies you, then I'll go and tear down the palace now!" ”
These words are domineering, but they make those palace bans not far away in a dilemma.
Someone said in front of them that they would demolish the palace, such a big disrespect should have been taken, but he was the owner of Li Zhuang...
After some trade-offs, they could only retreat silently, pretending that the moon was dark and the wind was high and they didn't hear anything.
Wu Meiniang glanced up at him, and choked up, "Obviously I came first." ”
Looking at her micro-expression, Li Yunze's heart instantly cleared.
The master and apprentice began to play, "It's okay, in my heart, you are the most important." ”
In his mind, trying to recall the performance of the brainless male protagonists in those withered romance dramas, Li Yunze, who began to imitate the affectionate male protagonist, shouted, "I'll go to the palace to find the queen now..."
Although she is smart, Wu Meiniang, who has little experience because of her age, is Li Yunze's opponent.
Hurriedly grabbed his arm, "No, the queen, we've already said it." ”
Li Yunze wiped his face, and quickly changed his face to a puzzled look, "What did you say?" ”
Wu Meiniang shook her head, and walked to the carriage with the corner of her skirt, "I won't tell you, anyway, you will know in the future." ”
Li Yunze, who controlled his expression, seriously played the role of an unworldly sand witherer and shouted, "What's wrong, tell me~~~"
This trick is okay to deal with Wu Meiniang at this age, but if you are a girl who has been educated with countless sticks in the modern world, it will really become a joke.
Li Yunze rode his horse and drove towards the city gate with a carriage.
Although there is a mansion of Li Ersheng in Chang'an City, Li Yunze prefers to live in Zhuangzi.
Along Suzaku Street to the city gate, the accompanying palace ban showed the emperor's holy decree and tiger talisman to the captain guarding the city gate.
Don't be deceived by film and television dramas, except for the emperor's holy decree and tiger talisman, no one can let the defenders open the city gate after the curfew closes the city gate.
This prince and the county lord, when they come to open the city gate with a word, only exists in the imagination of Sha Wither.
The lieutenant looked at Li Yunze, and finally knew which Grandpa Li he was.
Just as he was about to leave the city, Li Yunze turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction of the palace.
This is unbelievable, there is a sky-high fire on the side of the palace!
The palace is on fire!
Everyone also saw this scene, and the accompanying palace ban was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and ran back, but was stopped by Li Yunze.
"Think about what the command you have received."
The lieutenant, who had calmed down, raised his hand and patted his head.
The order they received was to escort the martial lady back to Lijiazhuang safely.
Now it's just a matter of going out of the city gate, and if there is any accident along the way, even if they incarnate as a rain master and extinguish the palace fire, they will inevitably die.
"Naturally, someone will do the firefighting." Li Yunze, who was on horseback, beckoned the captain guarding the gate, "Close the city gate tightly, no one is allowed to enter or leave without a holy decree and a tiger talisman." ”
A fire in the palace at night will inevitably cause turmoil, but as long as the gates of Chang'an City are closed, everything will gradually subside after dawn.
The most terrible thing at this time is panic, because there are many things that should not be done in panic.
Glancing at the blazing palace again, Li Yunze turned his head to look at the carriage again.
'The last time Wu Meiniang went to the palace, there was a tengu eclipse day, it must be superstition. But this time... It's a bit too coincidental. ’
The convoy exited the city gates, and a dull 'creaking' closing sound could be heard behind them.
Li Yunze rubbed his chin, thinking about whether the fire was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.
The way back to Lijiazhuang was very quiet, even a little too quiet.
Li Yunze, who was on horseback, suddenly turned around and greeted those palace bans, "Are you wearing armor?" ”
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded, "They all have inner armor." ”
The woolen clothes provided by Li Yunze look very good to wear, which is very in line with Li Er's aesthetics.
Therefore, the palace guards have been replaced by all members, but they still wear inner armor as protection.
Li Yunze smiled, stretched out his hand and picked up the bow, "Prepare, just protect the carriage after the fight, and I'll deal with the rest." ”
The carriage stopped, and the palace guards quickly fenced the carriage.
Li Yunze stretched out his bow and arrows here, and released them directly in one go.
Sharp arrows roared out and plunged straight into the darkness on the side of the road.
Originally, the palace bans still thought that Li Yunze was suspicious, but with a miserable scream in the darkness, followed by a large number of gray-clothed people rushing out from both sides, they were shocked to realize that there were really assassins.
Li Yunze stretched out his bow and arrows, and a series of arrows rained down, and in the blink of an eye, thirty people were overturned.
When the feather arrows are exhausted, they simply hold the handle of the horizontal knife and pull it out, and rush forward.
Between the lightning and flint, the fast horse swept past one person and flew directly to the head!
He really fought in the midst of thousands of troops.
Even if he changed careers in this world and did it behind the scenes, he didn't lose his skills.
Riding horses through the crowd, constantly reaping the lives of the gray-clothed men.
The man in gray, who was going to make a surprise attack, even arranged a trap on the road not far ahead.
But he never thought that Li Yunze was so vigilant, not only discovered their traces in advance, but also wiped out almost half of his manpower as soon as he made a move.
The leading assassin shouted a few times, beckoning his men to besiege the carriage first, and the people around Li Yunze were responsible for trapping him.
Finally someone remembered to kill the horse first, and the sharp arrows flew at the horses, and the axes also slashed at the legs of the horses.
Li Yunze, who felt distressed about the war horse, dragged the rope and clamped his abdomen, directly volleyed up and crossed the attack, then turned over and dismounted, patted the horse's buttocks, and let it run away, and rushed into the crowd with a horizontal knife.
Li Yunze's skills are all honed in the battle array, and what he pays attention to is a fatal sword.
Without the slightest showmanship, it is to use speed and strength, and use experience to predict and destroy the opponent.
As he cleared the Assassin on the side of the road and stepped back into the road, there was a large number of hurried footsteps at both ends of the road.
The palace guards were a little flustered, thinking that the Assassins' reinforcements had arrived.
Li Yunze shouted, "This is Chang'an City, where are there so many assassins, this is reinforcements." ”
It was indeed reinforcements who came, on one side were the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and on the other hand were the soldiers who were stationed in Lijiazhuang to guard.
They scattered the Assassins who stood in their way and hurried over.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the leading assassin was about to run away as soon as he called out, but Li Yunze shook his hand and threw the horizontal knife over, smashed it on his back, and directly broke the vertebrae.
Stepping forward, he came to the side of the Assassin leader and crouched down, pulled off his face scarf, and asked curiously, "Listen to your accent, is it from Goguryeo?" ”
