Chapter 2 Negotiating with the Queen Mother
Zhao Feng did not hesitate to put the dagger on the neck of the red sleeve and pushed her in front of him.
Then he took a quick look around.
I saw nearly twenty strong crossbows wounded against him, and the arrows glowed with cold light, and there was a solemn slaughter.
The first person held a strong crossbow and scolded Zhao Feng: "Let go of the red sleeves, otherwise you will die!" ”
Zhao Feng became relaxed when he heard this, since this group of people didn't dare to shoot him directly with arrows, it meant that the red sleeves he hijacked had a certain identity.
"Let me go to see the Queen Mother, or I'll kill her first."
The few people led by them looked at each other when they heard this, and they couldn't make up their minds and didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to look at the red sleeves.
"Why do you want to see the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother wants to get rid of you as soon as possible, don't you want to get into the tiger's mouth?"
Red Sleeves didn't immediately agree, but asked Zhao Feng rhetorically.
After all, she is the Queen Mother's personal palace maid, and before she understands Zhao Feng's purpose, she will never let a dangerous element appear around the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother wants to get rid of me just to better control Your Majesty, but after all, I grew up with Your Majesty since I was a child, and getting rid of me will only make Your Majesty more disgusted with the Queen Mother, so won't the Queen Mother lose more than she gains?"
"I want to live, the Queen Mother is not unrestrained in the court, why do you want to make you die, why don't you sit down and talk about it?"
Listening to Zhao Feng's words, Red Sleeves also fell into thought.
She admitted that what Zhao Feng said was reasonable, after all, Zhao Feng was also the chief eunuch in this palace, if he could fall to the Queen Mother, it would undoubtedly add a big boost to the Queen Mother.
Correspondingly, if this Zhao Feng can surrender to the Queen Mother, it can be regarded as making up for her assassination failure.
Redsleeves then ordered the besieging crowd.
"Get out of the way, let him go to see the Queen Mother!"
Only then did everyone put away their crossbows and get out of the way.
……
The Great Wilderness Palace under the moonlight looks majestic and quiet, and a palace maid leads a father-in-law through it.
The palace maids are all good in appearance and figure, and the only fly in the ointment is her bruised nose bridge.
These two are Red Sleeves and Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng was wearing a crimson python robe, holding a dagger against the back of his red sleeves, following her steps unhurriedly, looking left and right with curious eyes.
It looks like admiring this palace, but in fact, it is habitually touching the environment and calculating the garrison, which is the basic quality of a killer.
Just as the two of them were about to step through a palace gate in front of them, a pair of nearly 100 people came towards them.
Phi Jian Zhizhi held Changge's guards in front of the road, followed by dozens of eunuchs and palace maids carrying lanterns, and behind them was a carriage pulled by eight horses.
It is said that it is a carriage, but it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a small house, the precious wood is carved with dragons and phoenixes, the bright yellow tassels are hanging down, and the treasure top is decorated with gold inlaid pearls.
The Son of Heaven drove nine cars, but this trip used eight horse-drawn carts, and the identity is self-evident.
When the convoy arrived in front of Zhao Feng, the guards in front of the queue also saw that Zhao Feng was holding the red sleeves hostage, and they were on guard.
"Zhao Feng, you are so bold!"
"Dare to hijack the red-sleeved girl with a knife before the Queen Mother Luan's drive, and if you don't hurry up, you will be arrested, and wait for the Queen Mother to fall!"
The leading guard commander scolded Zhao Feng with a knife, but Zhao Feng had no fear on his face, just put a dagger on his red sleeve and motioned for her to come forward.
Red Sleeves was pinched by Zhao Feng at this moment, so he was forced to speak: "Commander Wan, let us go, the Queen Mother will deal with it." ”
Commander Wan did not accept the long knife, and looked at Zhao Feng, who was holding the knife behind the red sleeves, with a look of embarrassment.
"Don't worry, Manager Zhao just wants to see the Queen Mother to discuss some matters, and he is afraid of his own safety, so he took me hostage."
"And the masters around the Queen Mother are like clouds, and there will be no mistakes."
Red Sleeves, who understood Commander Wan's concerns, opened his mouth to explain again.
The confrontation at this moment also made Qing Ying, another personal palace maid of the Queen Mother, come here to inquire about the situation, and when she saw that her good sister was being held hostage, Qing Ying's willow eyebrows were upside down.
"Zhao Feng, you are presumptuous..."
"Qingying, you came just in time, let's go over to see the Queen Mother."
Red Sleeves interrupted Qing Ying's aggressiveness towards Zhao Feng, and signaled to Qing Ying with her eyes, and the two girls glanced at Qing Ying to understand that things had changed, and then said to Wan Commander.
"Commander Wan, I will lead the two of them to see the Queen Mother first to see how the Queen Mother decides."
With Qing Ying as the leader of Bao Wan, the three of them stopped in front of Luan, and Qing Ying went in first to ask for instructions, and after a while, she bowed out again.
"Throw away the dagger and come in again, the Queen Mother wants to see you."
Zhao Feng threw away the dagger as he said and followed Qingying into the carriage.
Now that the goal of meeting the Queen Mother has been achieved, there is no need to take hostages with a dagger anymore, not to mention that he has mastered no less than a hundred killing techniques, and he does not necessarily have to use a knife.
"The slave has seen the mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
As soon as the red sleeves entered the carriage, he immediately knelt down to say hello, but Zhao Feng stood up beside him, looking directly at the Empress Dowager of the Great Wilderness on the throne.
Although the original owner had the impression that the Queen Mother was very young, she was still a little surprised to see the real Zhao Feng.
At the age of thirty-five or sixteen, he looks like he is in his twenties, and his appearance seems to be carefully carved by God.
The hair like a black waterfall wears a glorious phoenix crown, and the bright yellow robe with a golden phoenix is worn on her body vividly, making her complexion fair and translucent.
The breath of the body is lazy and soft, and there is no skill or scheming to fight for power at all.
Zhao Feng stared at the Queen Mother and thought silently, his eyes flashed with curiosity and appreciation, but he was not the slightest fear.
And the Queen Mother was also surprised when she saw Zhao Feng like this.
She didn't know what Zhao Feng relied on, a small eunuch chief dared to see the Queen Mother without kneeling, but looked at her unscrupulously, treating her as a plaything.
She vaguely felt that Zhao Feng was a little different from the past, but she couldn't say what was different.
Qing Ying on the side saw Zhao Feng behaving like this, and scolded angrily.
"Bold Zhao Feng! dared to see that the Queen Mother did not bow down, and looked directly at the Queen Mother's dignity. ”
"You ......"
"Fireflies, since Mr. Zhao dares to hold the red sleeves hostage to see the mourning family, he will not kneel to the mourning family again."
The Queen Mother interrupted Qingying's reprimand, revealing confidence in her casual tone, and when her gaze swept to the bruise on the bridge of her red sleeve nose, her delicate face was obviously stunned for a moment.
Red Sleeves is an assassin who was trained by her since childhood, and she was actually injured at the hands of this Zhao Feng?
"Red sleeves, isn't your injury caused by Manager Zhao?"
"Back to Niangniang's words, Mr. Zhao is strong in martial arts, and the slave and maid are invincible, but Mr. Zhao did not kill the killer after capturing the slave and maid, but intended to reconcile with Niangniang, and the slave and maid brought him to meet Niangniang."
