Chapter 461: The palace is attacked
It turned out that after Feiyun left, Duan Qing took Hongjun and Peng Chang to discuss and came to the Luling Palace. Luo Chuan was overjoyed, and immediately divided the guards in the palace into two teams to guard day and night. Two days passed, but it was safe. Last night, it was Duan Qing's turn to be on duty at night, and when it was time for the third watch, he heard the strange sound of night walkers outside the wall. When Duan Qing flew onto the roof, he found that more than a dozen figures were quietly approaching from all sides.
Duan Qing was shocked, hurriedly turned over and got off the roof, and called the maid who was patrolling in the backyard to wake everyone up. After a while, Hongjun, Peng Chang and others all got up. Ximen Mountain even brought the people of the Ximen family to the backyard to protect Li Xian's family.
Ximen Shan instructed Tianying and others to bring a few good guards to ambush on the roof. The rest of the guards hid in the surrounding rooms, waiting for their own signals before they came out together. Hongjun took the lik, magpie, parrot, mandarin duck and other maids, and hid in the big tree in the courtyard, and hid in the corridor.
At the same time, Ximen Mountain asked Feiying and Feixiang to protect Li Xian and Princess Wei in the bedroom, and let Shui Duo and Bingduo guard Liu E's door. Ximen Shan knew that these people must have come for Li Xian's family, so he told Feiying and Feixiang not to leave no matter what. Naturally, everyone obeyed the order and returned to their respective positions according to the arrangement of Ximen Mountain.
As soon as they had taken refuge, five figures crossed the high wall and landed in the courtyard. In the moonlight, I saw that they were all dressed in black, and their faces were covered with black cloth. The five people couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that there was no one patrolling the courtyard, and the person who was the leader let out a frog cry for a while. As soon as the sound of frogs stopped, five more people came in from outside. Two of them, who seemed to be the leader, whispered a little, and then the five in front and the five in the back, crept closer to the house behind.
These five people are none other than Yelu Xingyun's brothers and sisters, as well as many Khitan warriors. When they heard that Feiyun was going to Fengtang's appointment, they thought that the guards in the Luling Palace's palace must have decreased. The Khitans divided their troops into two routes, one way to attack the Luling Palace, and the other to attack the palace.
Yelu Xingyun walked in front with four maids and maids, and slowly approached the place where Hongjun was hiding. Hongjun saw that the leading Yelu Xingyun's martial arts were strong, and it was estimated that he would not be able to succeed in one blow. So, seeing an opportunity, she suddenly leapt out of the stab and swung her sword at one of the killers. Hongjun has excellent light skills and deep internal strength. The sword she wielded with all her strength was swift and fierce. By the time the killer noticed it and wanted to dodge, it was too late, so he had to wave his sword to meet him.
The two swords collided, and with a clang, the killer's sword was knocked off and fell to the ground. The killer obviously didn't expect to encounter such a powerful master, and couldn't help but be stunned. The Red Monarch's sword castrated and slashed at the killer's shoulder. The killer screamed and retreated in pain. Jin Ding immediately followed up and slapped him on the chest. Hongjun had already made up his mind that if he killed one, he would lose one, and he would shoot mercilessly.
Yelu Xingyun and the others were shocked, knowing that the other party had discovered their whereabouts and had been prepared. Yelu Xingyun's sword slashed towards Hongjun. Hongjun snorted coldly, raised his sword to meet him, and killed him together. At the same time, the other people who were ambushed in the trees came out one after another, Peng Chang and a few guards on the roof, as well as the guards in the house, saw that Hongjun had already made a move, and followed to kill.
Peng Chang descended from the sky, and his sword stabbed a nearby killer. The killer never expected someone to sneak attack, and when he felt that a fierce sword aura was coming, he wanted to dodge, where was there still time. He was stabbed in the brain by Hongjun with a sword and died instantly. Seeing this, Princess Xingyun was so angry that she smoked. He came to sneak attack others, but now he was attacked by others, and in the blink of an eye, he lost two people. Yelu Xingyun was furious, and with a wave of his sword, he took the red monarch directly. Seeing that he was fierce and fierce, Hongjun knew that his internal strength was deep, so he didn't dare to take it hard, and hurriedly flashed to the side.
Although Yelu Xingyun's martial arts are strong, he can't wait to slash Hongjun with a sword. Hongjun's light skills were excellent, his body shook, and he dodged Xingyun's swift sword. Seeing that Hongjun was invincible, the parrot and the mandarin duck hurriedly swung their swords to attack Yelu Xingyun from the left and right. Yelu Xingyun had no choice but to stop, swinging his sword and forcing the two maids back. Hongjun took the opportunity to turn around and stab straight with his sword. Although Yelu Xingyun's martial arts are slightly better than the three of Hongjun, these three often practice swords together, and they have the same mind and tacit understanding. For a while, Yelu Xingyun did not have the upper hand.
While the battle was raging, many Luling kings rushed from the front yard. Seeing this, Yelu Xingyun knew that he couldn't resist it, so he hurriedly took the maidservants around him and escaped from the palace.
Peng Chang wanted to catch up, but Hongjun was worried that someone would come to sneak attack, so he hurriedly stopped him. Hongjun looked at the people lying on the ground, and couldn't help but feel sad and indignant, and while crying, he asked Peng Chang to take a few guards to the roof to monitor the surrounding movements. Hongjun asked the other guards to restrain the warlike brothers who died, and asked a few handmaidens to restrain the larks, magpies, and many guards who had died with him.
At this time, the grief-stricken and tearful Hongjun, the mandarin duck and the parrot did not carry the unconscious guards to the bed. Li Xian and Princess Wei, under the protection of Ximen Mountain, came to the backyard courtyard.
When Hongjun saw Li Xian come out, he was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, although the gangsters retreat, it is hard to guarantee that they will not kill them." You'd better stay safe in your room. ”
Li Xian looked at the dozens of people lying on the ground, shook his head firmly, and said in a choked voice: "It's my fault, I shouldn't be so selfish." I should have come out sooner and let them kill me, so many people wouldn't have lost their lives. ”
Hongjun hurriedly relieved: "Lord, don't say that, they sacrificed their lives for righteousness, but also for the peace of the world." These people are obviously coming for His Highness. When they save you, they are helping the people of the world. As long as Your Highness asks for more benevolent government in the future, I believe they will be able to smile at Jiuquan. ”
Duan Qing also said: "Lord Wang, since we have been following the Lord Wang, we have been prepared for a long time, and we are all willing to die for you. It is enough for the prince to remember these brothers and sisters, don't take it too seriously. If the prince blames himself like this, it will make them feel uneasy. ”
Under the hard persuasion of everyone, Li Xian barely held back his tears. He knelt down to thank the dead one by one, and he wanted to thank Hongjun and the others. Hongjun How dare they accept it, and hurriedly stopped her. Everyone was busy all night, until Feiyun and the others arrived, and they hadn't all cleaned up.
After listening to this, Feiyun asked about the martial arts moves of these people last night, and the weapons they used, they were tall, short, fat and thin. Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "Those people must be Yelu Xingyun's subordinates. Meijing immediately shouted: "In that case, we might as well search the capital now, wipe them all out, and avenge the dead brothers and sisters!" Liangchen hurriedly said, "No." This is just the eldest brother's speculation, and there is no real evidence. ”
Feiyun felt that what Liangchen said was reasonable, and asked, "Liangchen, in your opinion, this matter should be dealt with?" Liangchen thought for a while and said, "They attacked in masks, and we can only suffer this dumb loss for the time being." We can't act blindly for the time being, and heal the wounded first. Of course, since they use such a trick as sneak attack, we can also treat them in the same way as others. It's just that I haven't figured out the specifics yet. If we act rashly, we may be caught by surprise! ”
Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has been working hard these days, so we should take a good rest and recuperate." When the right opportunity arises, we will go to this group to settle accounts and avenge the victims! Seeing that Feiyun had decided, everyone didn't say anything more. Liangchen asked Liu Li Xian again: "Lord Wang, what happened here, did you send someone to tell the emperor?" ”
Li Xian shook his head and sobbed and said, "Not yet." I knew that the emperor had a lot of things going on recently, and I was afraid that he would be distracted, so I didn't send anyone. If you think it's necessary, I'll send someone to tell you at once. ”
Liangchen said: "I think we should send someone to tell the emperor, one is to let him know about Fengtang, and the other is to let him beware of sneak attacks." I find it strange. Li Xian heard this, and hurriedly called two guards to rush to the palace to report the news, and the two guards obeyed the order. Feiyun asked everyone to work together and clean up the backyard. Soon, the courtyard and the courtyard were cleaned up, and Feiyun asked everyone to rest first, and then discuss things together in the evening.
Feiyun saw that Li Xian and Princess Wei were sad and in a heavy mood, so she asked Ximen Shan and others to accompany her Li Xian and Princess Wei back to the room, and tried their best to comfort her. Feiyun was about to talk to Liangchen, but when he saw Lian'er walk in, Feiyun thought that Jin Ding's injury was getting worse, and hurriedly asked, "Lian'er, how is the injured person?" Lian'er shook her head and said, "There is no change for the time being. But there is one problem, I am worried that Hongjun will not accept it, so I don't know whether to tell her or not. Big brother, please make a decision. ”
Feiyun was shocked and asked, "What's the problem?" Lian'er hesitated for a long time before she said softly: "Bailing and Magpie, they are too seriously injured, they are very seriously injured, and the rest of the personnel will take a long time to recover." ”
Feiyun and Liangchen were shocked when they heard this. Liangchen pondered for a long time before he said, "I think it's better to tell him, anyway, he will know sooner or later." Tell him early so that he can be prepared, so that it will not be appropriate to talk about it later. Feiyun nodded in agreement, but asked Lian'er to be as tactful as possible.
Lian'er agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although Peng Chang can save his life, he has lost all his skills, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover." Sister Mandarin Duck's internal injuries are not healed in a short time. Feiyun was stunned, this was undoubtedly unacceptable bad news for Peng Chang. A person who practices martial arts, if he loses all his skills, it means that he has become a wasted person. Once many people in the rivers and lakes encounter this situation, it is unacceptable.
Feiyun didn't know how to answer Lian'er for a while. Liangchen thought for a moment, and then said: "Big brother, I have some ideas, whether it is suitable or not, and I have to ask you to decide." Feiyun looked at Liangchen and said, "When did you become so verbose!" Let's talk about it! Liangchen immediately said: "Since Brother Peng Chang is injured, we don't have to tell Duan Qing immediately. ”
Feiyun said: "Your idea is good, please tell the Red Monarch County Lord where to find a suitable person?" ”
