Chapter 512: The Palace is Attacked
At midnight, Feiyun was checking near the palace with Tianxiang, Liangchen and beautiful scenery, but saw four men in black rushing towards the palace. The people who came were Li Hui, Ruoxue, Pei Fu and Yanran from Longmen. After Ruoxue returned to the capital, she always wanted to enter the palace to assassinate Wu Zetian, and then wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rescue her parents.
Li Hui knew that the palace was full of masters, but he was not sure in his heart, and he never agreed. But he couldn't stand Ruoxue's bitter pleading, so he also interceded with Pei Shouyi on her behalf. Pei Shouyi couldn't resist them, so he had to agree to give it a try.
Li Hui decided to take only Yanran, Pei Fu and Ruoxue to the palace to assassinate, after all, the other people's martial arts are slightly inferior. The four of them have the strongest martial arts, and once they encounter danger, they can retreat with their whole body. The four of them changed into night clothes and came to the outer walls of the palace.
The walls of the palace are as high as three feet, and the Imperial Guards patrol back and forth from time to time. Li Hui and the four of them took advantage of the cover of night to avoid the patrolling Imperial Forest Army and flew up the wall. The four of them were very fast, and it was naturally difficult for those Royal Forest Soldiers to notice. They looked inside, and the houses inside were densely packed.
Ruoxue looked at it and asked quietly: "Door master, there are so many houses here, how do you know where Wu Zetian lives?" ”
Li Hui thought for a while and said, "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go up to the top of the house in front of us first, and discuss while observing!" The four of them then flew down the wall, avoiding the guards patrolling the palace, and went straight to the house in front of them. When they reached the side of the house, the four of them jumped up, went up to the roof, and lay down to watch the movement inside.
I saw a large open space in front of me, which looked like a martial arts arena. In the middle of the clearing, there were two teams of guard-like people, patrolling back and forth. All of them were strong men, and all of them had weapons in their hands. Li Ji couldn't help frowning secretly, she didn't expect the palace to be so heavily guarded.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that someone came in the night before and made a big fuss, and now it is natural to strengthen the garrison. What's more, Feiyun has reminded Wuwei and Princess Changping many times, asking them to strengthen their guards.
Li Hui thought for a while, and said softly: "Pei Fu, you go down and check it out, we are waiting here." ”
Ruoxue immediately said: "This little thing, then it is more appropriate to use Brother Pei to go out, or I will go down." ”
Li Hui hurriedly asked, "Xue'er, why are you suitable?" ”
Ruoxue smiled and said, "I have an advantage over you. I've been to the palace before, I know what's going on in the palace, and I can dress up as a maid. In general, women tend to let each other slack. For the palace maids, they will not be even more guarded. ”
Pei Fu thought for a while and said, "Door master, Xue'er is right, let her go!" ”
Li Hui was afraid that Ruoxue would have an accident alone, so he said: "I don't feel at ease if she goes alone." Well, I'll go down with her. Pei Fu and Yanran, you are waiting here, you must hide well and don't be discovered! The two agreed softly. Li Zhen and Ruoxue immediately jumped down and quietly fell to the ground.
The two were walking in concealment, but they saw two palace maids walking slowly with a lantern. Ruoxue said softly to Li Zhen: "Door master, we might as well follow them first, find an opportunity to restrain them, and ask where Wu Zetian is!" ”
Li Hui didn't have any other good way for a while, that is, he nodded and agreed. The two followed the two palace maids to the vicinity of a house, and Li Hui pressed Ruoxue's hand and said, "Do it!" The two of them flew out, shot like lightning, and clicked on the acupoints of the two palace maids, and then hugged each one to a secluded place.
The two palace maids were pointed at the key points, unable to move or make a sound, but their consciousness was awake. Li Zhen said softly: "Two girls, don't be afraid. As long as you are obedient and answer a few questions truthfully, we will not hurt you! After speaking, he unlocked the acupoint of a palace maid.
The palace maid looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was already frightened, and said tremblingly: "A good man spares his life! ”
Ruoxue said softly: "Little sister, don't be afraid. Let me ask you, do you know where Wu Zetian lives? ”
The palace maid hurriedly said: "This woman, we are just low-level palace maids, how do we know where the emperor is?" ”
Ruoxue said angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, then don't blame me!" After Ruoxue finished speaking, she made a gesture to take the sword behind her back.
The palace maid was shocked and hurriedly said, "Sister spare my life!" We really don't know. At this time, the emperor must have been in the dormitory of the harem. ”
Li Hui said sharply: "Are you telling the truth? If you dare to deceive us, we will come back to you to settle scores!" ”
The palace maid hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" Seeing this, Ruoxue couldn't bear it, looking at the appearance of the palace maid, it was estimated that she would not dare to lie.
Li Hui immediately stretched out his hand and tapped her acupoint. Ruoxue then unlocked the acupoint of another palace maid and asked, "Little girl, do you know where Wu Zetian is?" ”
The palace maid said in a trembling voice: "If the emperor is not in the palace, he is usually in the imperial study. He also pointed out the path to the imperial study in detail.
Ruoxue waited for her to finish, stretched out her hand and pointed at her acupoint, and said softly: "Girl, after two hours, you can move freely." But if you want to save your life, it's better not to tell anyone what happened. ”
Li Hui said to Ruoxue: "Xue'er, this should be the residence of the palace maid. You go inside and change into a palace maid's clothes, and it will be convenient for you to do things. Ruoxue nodded in agreement and dodged in.
After a while, Ruoxue dressed up as a palace maid and walked out. The two then left, found the guards and stole three sets of guard outfits.
The two returned to Pei Fu and Yanran's hideout, and Li Hui handed the guard clothes to their brothers and sisters, and said, "The three of us are dressed as guards, and the palace maids dressed as Ruoxue. When I met someone to check on us, I said that the emperor asked the palace maid to take us to strengthen the guards of the guards, and you all don't talk! ”
Yan Ran was overjoyed and said: "Door master, this plan is very good. The three of them quickly changed their clothes.
The four of them immediately flew down the roof, Ruoxue was in front, Li Hui and the three of them were behind, and they followed the path pointed out by the palace maid and walked towards the imperial study. It was late at night, and there were not many people walking around the palace. Occasionally, I encountered a few patrolling guards, and Ruoxue skillfully coped with them. After all, they were dressed as palace maids and guards, and those guards did not expect that anyone would dare to pretend to be. After a while, the four of them came to the front of the imperial study.
Li Ji raised his eyes and saw that the lights in the imperial study were bright. Li Hui was overjoyed and said: "It seems that we are lucky, and the faint monarch is actually in the imperial study at this time." Pei Fu and Yanran sisters, when Xue'er and I enter the house, the two of you will go up to the roof and prepare to answer. ”
Pei Fu said, "The strength of the two of you is too weak, so I will go in too." Leave Yanran alone on the roof to answer it! ”
Yan Ran also said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, the three of you go in and have a bigger grasp." "Li Ji has the strongest martial arts among the four, even if he encounters an accident, he can take Pei Fu and Ruoxue out of the encirclement.
Li Hui knew Pei Fu's stubborn character, and besides, this was not the time to argue, so he had to agree. At this time, the four of them had already arrived at the door of the imperial study.
When the four guards standing in front of the door saw someone approaching, they immediately shouted, "Stop, where are you guards, and how did you come here?" ”
Ruoxue hurriedly said: "Four brothers, I am the maid beside Princess Changping, and I was ordered to summon these three guards to see the emperor. ”
One of the guards looked at Ruoxue and said suspiciously, "What's your name?" How come I haven't seen you! Take your waist cards out, and we'll test them. ”
Li Ji said, "Here!" He immediately flew up and struck the two guards with both palms.
At the same time, Pei Fu and Ruoxue also stepped forward, each found a person, and slapped it with a wave. The four guards noticed something was wrong, and drew their swords to meet them. But their martial arts are average, not to mention that Li Hui and they are going all out. Therefore, the four guards didn't have time to react much, and they were easily knocked to the ground.
Although Li Hui and the three of them quickly knocked down the guards at the gate of the palace, the sound of the guards falling to the ground alarmed the people patrolling the courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a loud shout: "Who is the thief, who dares to trespass into the imperial study!" ”
Li Hui took a closer look, but saw two middle-aged men with more than a dozen guards surrounding him. At this time, Li Hui was no longer hiding it, and replied loudly: "We are righteous people in the rivers and lakes, and we are here to settle accounts with the faint king!" I don't want to embarrass you, just call the faint king out. ”
The two headed by those two were none other than Wu Wei and Wu Yuan, the palace guards. When the two of them heard Li Gui's disrespectful words, they immediately became furious and shouted: "Evil obstacles, dare to be so rude!" Before the words fell, Wu Wei pulled out his sword and slashed at Li Hui. At the same time, Wu Yuan also swung his sword to take Ruoxue, and the rest of the guards raised their swords to besiege Pei Fu.
Li Hui had fought with Wu Wei and knew that he was very powerful. He Li Hui hurriedly pulled out his sword, used his internal strength, and went straight to the past. I only heard the sound of "dangchang", and Wu Wei's sword had been cut into two pieces by Li Hui's sword. Li Hui succeeded with a sword, and his left palm was immediately slapped. Wu Wei felt that his hand was light, and the sword had been cut in two.
When Wu Wei was stunned, he felt a strong palm force approaching, and hurriedly waved his palm to greet him. The palms touched, and Wu Wei took a few steps back before he stood firm. Li Huang only shook for a moment, and then stood firm.
Obviously, Wu Wei's internal strength is now slightly inferior, and Li Hui is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng. Li Hui stabbed straight again, Wu Wei threw the half-cut sword, took a spear from the nearby guard, and waved the long sword that met Li Hui.
Only a "click" was heard, and Li Hui's long sword cut Wu Wei's spear into two parts. Seeing that Wu Wei was invincible, the guards hurriedly rushed to the two of them, one from the left and the other from the right.
Li Hui didn't look at it, the sword in his right hand, the palm of his left hand, and the sword in his palm came out together. After only two screams, the guard on the right had already been pierced through the chest by her sword, and died instantly. The guard on the left was knocked several feet backwards by the force of her palm, and fell to the ground.
Li Hui jumped up and swung his sword in the air. Suddenly, the sword light struck Wu Wei directly. Wu Wei didn't dare to take it hard, and hurriedly dodged to avoid it. Li Hui saw that he got out of the way and took the opportunity to come to the door of the imperial study.
At the same time, Ruoxue greeted Wu Yuan. Ruoxue's sword was also a sharp weapon, and he immediately cut off Wu Yuan's sword.
