Chapter 156: Night Palace Terror (2)
Originally, according to the plan of Zhang Rang, He Lian, and He Jin, they planned to lure Zhuang Shaoyou to He Lian's bedroom, and He Lian persuaded him to surrender and take away his military power.
Because he was worried that he would accidentally injure He Lian in the palace, he only prepared a knife and axe hand, not a crossbowman, otherwise Zhuang Shaoyou would not be able to run away at all!
On the way from the palace gate to the queen's bedroom, there were some crossbowmen in ambush, but according to the plan, Zhang Rang and He Jin planned to do it cleanly, try not to leave a handle, and those knife and axe hands could be disposed of afterwards, but if they were done outside, then the entire palace would know, after all, it was a little unrealistic to dispose of all the people in the entire palace!
Therefore, it is better to act secretly in the palace as much as possible, so that even if outsiders know that Zhuang Shaoyou was killed by themselves, there is no direct evidence! At that time, it will not be so easy for Liu Hong to be held responsible, and Liu Hong will definitely not turn his face with Shichang and He Jin for the sake of a Zhuang Shaoyou, so he can only turn big things into small things, and finally end up!
Moreover, this move can also deter those who are beginning to move, and warn them not to act rashly, and it will not end well to oppose the ten permanent servants and generals!
However, the sky did not fulfill his wish, and at the most critical moment, he somehow came out of the basket, causing the previous preparations to fall short, so he could only forcibly kill, and then find a way to deal with it afterwards!
More than a hundred sword and axe hands surged out from He Lian's bedroom, and the crimson torrent seemed to gush out in the dim moonlight, as if a murderous aura gushed out; The rear move of the ambush outside the hall played a role at this time, dozens of archers heard the movement here, came out of the hidden place, and saw Zhuang Shaoyou fleeing to the depths of the palace, and several soldiers who reacted quickly hurriedly bent their bows and arrows.
Zhuang Shaoyou ran away with all his might, and looked back at the pursuers behind him from time to time, only to see dozens of archers suddenly rushing out from the rear, some of whom were still bending their bows and arrows, and the visual distance between the two sides was only about one hundred steps, which was definitely within the effective range!
There wasn't much time to think, "Whoosh! A few arrows were shot at Zhuang Shaoyou's back, Zhuang Shaoyou was shocked, and quickly dodged, but he was still a little slower, and a bow and arrow happened to hit his left shoulder, and there was a sharp pain that made Zhuang Shaoyou almost faint in pain, barely cheered up, and tried his best to speed up the distance, while the hundreds of axes and dozens of archers quickly chased after him.
Zhang Rang hurriedly came out of the hall, Zhuang Shaoyou and the pursuers had long been gone, and asked the subordinates next to him, and learned that Zhuang Shaoyou went the opposite way and ran to the depths of the palace, and was immediately shocked, his pale face was full of anxiety, and the folds on his forehead were twisted into a ball, and after a little thought, he immediately pulled the male duck's throat and screamed:
"Quick! You useless little rabbits, hurry up and send more people to our family to seal the direction of the Queen Mother's bedroom! Don't let this little rabbit run to the Queen Mother! If anyone dares to smash our family, our family will definitely call him worse than death! ”
The guards and eunuchs who stayed around immediately shuddered when they heard this, this father-in-law's methods are known to everyone! Anything I've seen is absolutely unforgettable, and I definitely don't want to taste it myself! He said that it is better to call you alive than dead, it is definitely not intimidation, because it has been proven by countless precedents, and you must not doubt Grandpa Zhang's methods!
…………
When the time came, the moonlight in the sky became more and more dim, gently sprinkled on the south gate of Luoyang City, reflecting the gray city wall more vicissitudes and solemnity.
A few soldiers yawned and stood guard there, and the few patrols scattered at the head of the city also stopped and stopped, all looking listless. Two hundred years of comfort have long smoothed out the vigilance of the defenders of Luoyang, and standing guard is just a routine, which cannot be blamed on anyone, because no one can think that someone will attack Luoyang City in the middle of the night, and it is still from the city!
Not far from the south gate of the city, a group of black shadows quickly shuttled by, and quickly approached the city gate under the cover of nearby houses. The sentry was unaware of the impending danger.
Suddenly, dozens of figures burst out of the darkness, and before the sentry could react, the "whoosh" were all put down by a burst of crossbow arrows, and before they could even shout for help, they lost their vitality, and the dozens of black shadows sent a signal, and then rushed towards the city gate garrison.
…………
In the palace, Zhuang Shaoyou covered his left shoulder with his right hand, endured severe pain, and desperately ran towards the flickering lights in front of him, and he didn't care about finding the location of the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong, after all, the structure of this palace is complex, Zhuang Shaoyou is not familiar with the road, if he takes the wrong road, then he will regret it, anyway, he runs desperately inside, the other party must have no arrangement in it, and occasionally a glimmer of light flashes in the endless night, becoming the light of hope in Zhuang Shaoyou's heart at this moment, follow the feeling!
Drops of blood began to drip down his left arm to the ground, and he was buried by the endless night in an instant, Zhuang Shaoyou didn't have the kung fu to pay attention to it, it was important to escape!
Mother, Xipi, I don't believe it, I will die here today! General Ben's life is very hard! How can it be so easy to die, Zhuang Shaoyou keeps cheering himself up!
The light in the distance was getting closer and brighter, and a palace of considerable scale was faintly presented in front of him, Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly rose with infinite power and accelerated towards the palace.
"Who? Hold it! A guard guarding the palace stepped forward to ask at an inopportune time, but Zhuang Shaoyou did not answer, those who stand in the way will be killed!
"Presumptuous! Dare to trespass into the palace of the imperial concubine! You deserve death! When the guard saw that Zhuang Shaoyou was silent and still rushing to this side, he was immediately annoyed, he was too presumptuous, he must be punished for his crime and exterminate his nine clans!
When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his heart was cold, imperial concubine? It's over, there are too many concubines in this Liu Hong, and they are worthless! What to do? The chasing soldiers are coming, there is no way, let's go in first and talk about it! Thinking of this, I made up my mind, lifted my spirits, and deftly flashed the spear that the guard stabbed, poof! With a thud, he pulled out his sword and slashed it across the guard's neck, without blinking, and the guard's blood sprayed Zhuang Shaoyou's body, turning around and running towards the other stunned guard.
The guard was stupid by the scene just now, killing people in the palace? Who is this? So arrogant? But when he saw Zhuang Shaoyou rushing towards him angrily, his first reaction was not to resist, but to turn around and run away! Only a few elites in this palace maintain a certain combat effectiveness, and most of the others are old soldiers, standing guard every day, patrolling and then there is no serious business, and the bold ones go to hook up with the palace maids, and each takes what he needs, so naturally there is no combat effectiveness!
The commander of the southern battalion of the Praetorian Guard is the guard in charge of the security of the palace, and he has long defected to Zhang Rang and He Jin's party, so when the Northern Guard Army was transferred to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, the Southern Army stayed in the city and roamed! These chicks who have never seen blood, in the face of a battle-hardened veteran like Zhuang Shaoyou, in the face of that terrifying evil spirit, where do they still have the courage to resist!
Zhuang Shaoyou snorted coldly, glanced at the fleeing soldier, turned around and walked towards the hall, it's not that he doesn't want to pursue, there is really no need to pursue, besides, time is pressing, and he is injured, it is better to save some strength!
The guard ran out of a distance, looked back apprehensively, and when he saw that there was no one, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground with his ass, damn! It's dangerous! At this time, the pursuers in the rear followed Zhuang Shao and saw that there was no one, only the soldier who was paralyzed on the ground, so he stepped forward to interrogate.
"See people coming here?!" A man who looked like a thousand men kicked the guard to the ground and shouted
"In, in, in!" The guard replied tremblingly
The thousand men were furious: "Got in? You waste, why don't you stop him! A sword pierced the guard, and without blinking an eye, he drew his sword and shouted: "Hurry in!" If anyone mistakes Zhang Weng's matter, I will not let him go in the first place! You get the idea! ”
When the soldiers heard this, their hearts were cold, whether it was this commander or Zhang Weng, they were all masters who wanted people's lives, and if they fell into their hands, it would be difficult to die happily! So the crowd rushed towards the palace as fast as they could.
The poor soldier fell to the ground, and watched feebly as the so-called robes passed by in front of him, his eyes gradually dimmed, and his mind gradually lost, and he was going to die? I knew that it was better to die in the hands of that person, at least I could give a bereavement to my family! The lady in my family, and the children, what can I do in the future...
That commander is also ruthless, killing people without blinking, Zhang Rang still has a relatively clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of these guards, so he ordered the commander of the guard to select the most elite and strongest combat soldiers to carry out tonight's plan, this commander knows the mind of the above, I am afraid that there will be no life in this palace tonight! Including the concubine that Liu Hong may not remember!
The commander rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea, so he deducted him to seduce the princess, ** the crime of the harem! Hey, hey, hey! Lao Tzu is really a fucking genius!
