Two days later, in the year of Gengzi, on the first day of July, Kuang Jian led 15,000 troops, starting from the imperial capital, pointing to Cangshan, to pacify the trouble of horse bandits, the people were in the middle of the road to farewell, cheering, under the peaceful and prosperous times, they hated the horse bandits and green forest robbers the most, such as today the son finally sent troops, let them pass on the word of mouth, very happy, Fu Qiu held a ceremony for Kuang Jian to go out, and even went to worship the ancestors in advance, praying for the safety and smoothness of the Zuo camp, the civil and military officials also arrived, seeing off Kuang Qian, Fu Qiu stood in the front, with a military uniform, The mighty Kuang Jian spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister is gone, I hope you will take care of your little sister more, the minister is afraid that she will ......"
Kuang Jian wanted to speak and stopped, because of the martial arts, the court was complaining about him and Kuang Shufei, he was afraid that as soon as he left, someone would come out in the harem to bully his little sister, Fu Qiu understood what he meant, and said seriously.
"Xiang'er is my wife, who dares to touch her, you can rest assured to go, I am waiting for you to return from a great victory!"
"Yes!"
Hearing His Majesty say this, Kuang Jian was obviously relieved a lot, bowed deeply, and then turned over the door, shouted, the three armies dispatched, the sound of iron hooves rumbled, extremely slaughtering, Kuang Jian was brave, Zuo Daying is the division of tigers and wolves, he can be in charge of this army, definitely not by nepotism, but the real material of the Eight Classics, when the three armies set off and went to the suburbs, Fu Qiu led everyone back to the palace, and all the courtiers also dispersed, Yangxin Palace, Kuang Shufei cried into tears, she wanted to send her eldest brother, but she was afraid of breaking the rules, causing the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, did not appear on this occasion, she and Kuang Jian brothers and sisters have a very good relationship, blood is thicker than water, the eldest brother is going to the battlefield to fight, even if the object is a horse bandit, she is also worried, Fu Qiu saw her pear blossom with rain, distressed, simply didn't go, hugged the beauty in her arms, gently comforted, in the past two days Wang Min and some harem concubines have come to find Fu Qiu, Fu Qiu is gone, to Kuang Shufei can be described as extremely favored, the entire harem, is rumored how Kuang Shufei is favored, how to be a celebrity in front of the king, for a while in the limelight, The matter of Wuju also came to an end temporarily because of the expedition to Cangshan, but the seemingly calm imperial capital, in fact, was brewing a huge storm, this day, late at night, the imperial capital was pouring rain, the heat in July, there has not been such a heavy rain for a long time, and there is even lightning and thunder, a certain house on the central street of the imperial capital, the black shadow is enough, "Bang!" A lightning bolt flashed, dozens of masked black-clothed figures in the house were revealed, they stood in several rows, very disciplined, giving people a chilling feeling, a seven-foot-tall, holding a long sword in a man condescending, cold eyes, like a machine standing still, all the black-clothed people let the pouring rain wash over their bodies, and did not shelter from the rain, as if they were waiting for something, it seemed extremely depressed, just like two hours later, the hoarse voice of the head man sounded.
"When it's ugly tonight, raise the heart hall and behead Concubine Kuang Shu!"
"Yes!"
The killers clenched their fists, and there was a cold glint in their eyes, as if it was easy to enter the palace to kill an unspeakably expensive princess, lightning and thunder, covering up the sound here, adding a bit of treacherous taste, at the same time, in the palace, the royal family gathered together, there was hot tea in the cup, it was late at night, but Wang Wei and the others did not feel sleepy at all.
"Dad, wonderful, wonderful, this can not only kill that cheap woman, but also take the opportunity to suppress Lang Zhongling Fei Minghong, this person is left and right, and refuses to accept our wooing, this time, Concubine Shu was assassinated, Your Majesty was frightened, he, Lang Zhongling, who is responsible for the security of the palace, is unlucky, at worst, he has to be negligent in his duties and exiled, right?"
Wang Ming s face showed a treacherous smile, very villainous and ambitious, Wang Wei took a sip of tea, stroked the white beard with his right hand, calm and easy, and said.
"Ming'er, remember that tonight is very important, Your Majesty will definitely investigate thoroughly afterwards, don't show your feet, according to the original plan, you go back to the camp immediately, as soon as the people on the Ninth Prince's side make a move, you will lead Jin Wuwei to escort as soon as possible."
Wang Ming grinned and hugged his fists.
"Yes, Father!"
After speaking, he walked out of the mansion, crossed the horse with a knife, and slowly disappeared into the night, Wang Wei's eyes were gloomy, looking at the oppressive thunderstorm, and whispered softly.
"Your Majesty, don't blame the old minister for committing the crime, you forced us to do this, Concubine Kuang Shu and Kuang Qian, you shouldn't reuse it!"
As he spoke, a trace of disdain appeared on his wrinkled face, the little emperor wanted to seize power, but he put his hope on a family like the Kuang family, which was not from a noble background, and it was destined to be a waste of bamboo baskets.
"The ministers of the court, the scholars, and even the Wei Taishi are dissatisfied with Your Majesty's proposal to raise the Hanmen Wuju, and when the assassination happens, there will be chaos in the court, Your Majesty, you will panic, and in the end, you still have to come to the old man to stabilize the situation! Haha......"
As he spoke, Wang Wei couldn't help but show a scheming smile.
……
The heavy rain continued, washing the eaves of the harem, accompanied by thunder and lightning and strong winds, it seemed to be stormy, ugly moment, lightning slashed, nearly thirty masked killers, stepping on puddles, carrying long swords, had already killed around the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, a corpse of the forbidden army fell, scarlet blood melted into the rain, extremely terrifying, no one knew how they entered the palace, and the heavily defended forbidden army was also unaware, until it approached the place where Fu Qiu was staying, it was not discovered.
"There are assassins! Escort! ”
The first to react were the Shadow Guards, who appeared like ghosts. Among them, Ah Yue roared, frantically rushed to the dormitory to escort the car, but was stopped by the killer, the weapons collided, and the screams came out, quickly waking up the silent harem, the forbidden soldiers reacted, and were shocked, and immediately guarded the palace, and the assassins were killed in a group, and the entire Heart Cultivation Palace, chaotic into a pot of porridge, at the same time, the seven masked killers had already outflanked the back road, sneaked to the back of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fu Qiu woke up from his sleep, there were many people outside the window, shouting to kill the sky, Kuang Shufei also woke up, and her delicate pretty face turned white in an instant.
"Your Majesty, run away!"
The first action she reacted to was to push Fu Qiu away, "Boom!" Seven masked killers sneaked in, raised their crossbows and shot towards the dormitory, and the sound of breaking through the air made Fu Qiu's eyes widen.
"Be careful!"
He pounced, knocked Kuang Shufei to the ground, narrowly and dangerously dodged the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow shot on the floor, three inches deep, cracked the pear blossom wood, and made a clanging sound, there is no doubt that whoever takes a hit must be cold, Fu Qiu just wanted to shout for help, and found that Kuang Shufei under him had a pretty face, and there was a trace of fear in her beautiful eyes, and a man in black actually raised his sword to kill him.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
She almost reflexively pushed Fu Qiu away, and then pressed on his body all at once, Fu Qiu didn't expect her to have so much strength, poof! The long sword slashed across Concubine Kuang Shu's back, and an extremely conspicuous blood splattered out, poof, a mouthful of blood spat on Fu Qiu's face, and he was stunned.
"Your Majesty!"
Concubine Kuang Shudai's eyebrows were furrowed, and the pain was so painful that she twisted, but she held down Fu Qiu with all her strength and blocked the assassin with her body.
"Xiang'er!"
Fu Qiu roared hysterically, her eyes turned red instantly, and she reached out to protect her, but she touched the scarlet blood stains and her trembling body, her back was cut by the sword, and the sword edge was almost the length of a palm!
"Ahh
Fu Qiu roared angrily, like a beast, seeing that the killer was about to make up for the knife, he forcibly turned over and protected Kuang Shufei, the killer suddenly froze, and there was a trace of hesitation in his ruthless eyes, the purpose of this trip was not to assassinate the emperor, but he was afraid that Kuang Shufei would not die, at this moment, rumbling footsteps sounded, and at the same time, an old figure appeared.
"Escort!"
Fu Lao came, saw a mess of anger, and broke the neck of an assassin with one hand, and the remaining six assassins rushed to take Kuang Shufei's life, and a large number of forbidden troops also poured in one after another, more than 20 people raised their shields and surrounded Fu Qiu, like a copper wall and iron wall, under the shield, Fu Qiu's body was cold, his face was stiff, Kuang Shufei's face was pale, her beautiful eyes were dim, and blood was constantly oozing from her mouth, and she reached out to caress Fu Qiu's face with all her might, wanting to speak, but couldn't speak.
"Xiang'er, don't speak, don't speak! I'll take you to the Imperial Doctor. ”
Fu Qiu's tears slipped down and he shouted in his heart.
"System, come out quickly, you must have a way to save Xiang'er, right? Come out quickly, I'm willing to pay any price! ”
It's a pity that the system didn't respond to him, the anxious and helpless Fu Qiu shed the first tears in this world, the man didn't flick when he had tears, just because he didn't get to the sad place, but Kuang Shufei grabbed him to death, and her bloody face showed a trace of poignancy.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't go out, it's dangerous outside. ”
Fu Qiu didn't listen, the system didn't react, so he could only ask for help from the imperial doctor in the palace, Fu Qiu said that he was going to take her to the imperial doctor, Kuang Shufei burst into tears, and almost begged.
"Your Majesty, don't go out, please! Wait until the forbidden army captures the assassin, you listen to Xiang'er...... Xiang'er is afraid that she will not have a chance to say it in the future. ”
Her red lips were bleeding, her fingers were pale, she grabbed Fu Qiu and said intermittently.
"Xiang'er died for His Majesty, she was willing, the concubine was so happy, since she entered the palace, she can finally do something for you for Daxia, the only regret is ...... Ahem, I just failed to continue a bloodline for His Majesty...... Your Majesty, can you not forget Xiang'er in the future, Xiang'er is afraid of the dark and afraid of being alone. ”
As she spoke, her tears rolled and fell, and she was reluctant to give up, bleeding to the point that her face was hideous.
"Xiang'er!"
Fu Qiu bit his lip, tears flowed for a long time, and his heart was like a knife!
