Chapter 28: There is a mole in the palace

Almost at the same time as Chen Ji stood up and drew his short knife, the exclamation of a palace maid suddenly came from the palace gate, and then, a black shadow rushed in with the cold air outside.

With the sound of a bowstring, a feather arrow swept over the shoulders of Duan'er and Empress Zhang, and shot straight at Liu Yong.

"There are assassins!" I don't know which palace person let out an exclamation.

The entire hall was instantly plunged into chaos.

Almost at the moment when the feather arrow approached Liu Yong's chest, Liu Yong's long sword was unsheathed.

A flash of white light flashed, and the longsword was slightly slower than the feather arrow by half a beat, and the long tail feathers of the feather arrow slashed to the ground.

The sharp arrow pierced through Liu Yong's floating robe, but it shot Chen Ji's arm holding the short knife impartially.

The short knife fell to the ground, and Chen Ji squatted on the ground with a wail.

Liu Yong bypassed Empress Zhang and Duan'er, who were discolored, and pounced on the comer with a long sword in hand.

The sword made a crisp clanging sound in the air and slashed at the top of the visitor's head.

The man missed the blow, and he was also a little flustered, seeing Liu Yong's long sword sweeping the strong wind and slashing at the face, he subconsciously blocked it with the hardwood bow in his hand.

The sturdy back of the bow was split in half, and the sword cut through the silk that was tied to his waist, and several feathered arrows stuck there fell to the ground.

The man's skills were obviously very good, and the moment Liu Yong swung his long sword again, he threw away the hard bow, leaned over and picked up a feather arrow, and stabbed at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong's horizontal sword blocked, and the feather arrow was split.

The man saw that Liu Yong was brave and suffered from the fact that he had no weapon in his hand, so he turned around and wanted to flee.

"Catch the assassin!" A palace man ran out first and shouted loudly.

The warriors of the Praetorian Army, who were patrolling the court, heard the sound and quickly gathered here.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the man turned around and plunged headlong into the palace of another concubine next to Cining Palace.

The concubine had just heard someone shouting outside, and sent a palace maid out to listen, but the palace maid was knocked down head-on by that person, and her head hit a raised square brick on the ground, and she held her head in pain and screamed.

The man turned around, and Liu Yong had already chased after him.

In a panic, the man grabbed the palace maid's hair with one hand, supported the palace maid's waist with the other hand, lifted her up, and threw her at Liu Yong.

The man's strength was extremely great, and the palace maid's body spun in mid-air, and a boulder smashed towards Liu Yong.

Liu Yongsheng was afraid that the long sword in his hand would hurt the palace maid, so he hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time reached out and gently pushed the palace maid's rotating body.

The force of the palace maid's throw was instantly resolved by Liu Yong's push, so she was not thrown to death.

The man took advantage of this opportunity and strode into the palace.

The concubine heard that the sound outside was wrong, and walked out with a floor-length skirt in her hand, just in time to bump into the man.

The concubine screamed and sat down on the ground.

At this time, several forbidden army warriors had also rushed in.

One of them drew a bow and an arrow.

The arrow struck the man in the shoulder.

The man shook and fell down in front of the concubine, but he quickly got up, endured the arrow wound, and picked up the concubine and blocked him in front of him.

Where did the concubine experience such a thing, she was so frightened that she trembled and collapsed several times, but she was firmly grabbed by the hair by the man and forcibly stood in front of her.

"If you dare to take another step forward, Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless." The man snapped.

Liu Yong's footsteps paused, and finally stopped.

This concubine was a tribute sent to Liu Chan by the Qiang people in the north, Liu Chan was very fond of her when she was alive, and even wanted to assign a county in Hanzhong to the Qiang people, but fortunately she was stopped by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister at that time.

After Liu Yong replaced Liu Chan, he had never been here, but he didn't want these Liu Chan's widows to have any mistakes.

"Let the people not move." Liu Yong stopped the samurai behind him in time.

The two sides formed a state of confrontation.

"Dare to ask the general, but he was ordered to enter the city last night?" Liu Yong deliberately pointed the tip of the long sword to the ground, making a very relaxed appearance, and asked.

The man had a sneer on his face.

"General Ben only hates the heavy rain last night, otherwise my Cao Wei army would have occupied this city for a long time."

Liu Yong nodded.

"This is the will of heaven, since the general is from the great country of Cao Wei, why should he go against the sky and stay in the city alone to fight the trapped beasts? Could it be that no one in Shu Han really deceived me? ”

The man's shoulder was still bleeding, and the feather arrows shook as he trembled, causing him to breathe in in sharp pain.

"Your father, the emperor, built his own Shu Han under the banner of Kuangfu Han family, and he is really a national thief. It's ridiculous that you, a horseman, still want to resist the heavenly soldiers with just one city, how dare you pretend to be heavenly in front of this general? If you listen to the good words of this general, you should immediately lay down your arms and bow down to your vassals, and you will still not lose the position of marquis in the future. ”

The corners of Liu Yong's mouth curled slightly.

"General Shenwei, I have no intention of offending, since the words have come to this, I will not be difficult for you, as long as I release my beloved concubine, I will definitely let you out of the city."

The man's nostrils let out a scornful snort.

"General Ben stayed here to take your head as a faint king, how could he listen to your nonsense?"

Liu Yong's face was stunned.

"Your Majesty, save me!" The concubine had also calmed down a little at this time, and shouted in a low voice.

Liu Yong deliberately thought for a moment and threw away the long sword in his hand.

"Well, I'll listen to you, as long as you don't hurt my concubine."

Seeing that Liu Yong had really given up his force, the man couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"I've heard for a long time that you're a drunkard, and when I saw it today, it was true. The people of Shu Han support you, a dumb king, but they are really stupid. ”

Liu Yong was silent.

The man dragged the concubine forward a few steps, trying to pick up the long sword on the ground.

The warriors behind Liu Yong were all staring at Liu Yong's face.

Liu Yong was incredibly calm.

At the moment when one of the man's hands was about to touch the long sword, Liu Yong acted.

With a "bang", Liu Yong's foot kicked the man in the chest. Then, taking advantage of the man's staggering backwards, he rushed up with an arrow and smashed his fist into the man's cheek.

The arrow wound in the shoulder apparently slowed the man's movements, and at the same time as he was hit by a punch, he let go of the hand that was holding the concubine.

The concubine rushed towards Liu Yong at the moment of collapse and plunged into his arms.

Liu Yong pushed her away vigorously and leaned over to pick up the long sword.

The samurai behind him let out a shout and rushed over.

The man was in a hurry, and he came with the samurai's steel sword.

The two steel knives didn't have time to retract and stabbed the man in the chest at the same time.

"Don't hurt him!" Liu Yong's cry was a step late.

The man fell to the ground with a spasm.

Liu Yong stomped his feet and ran over, holding the man's back.

"There are your people in my palace, who let you in?"

The corners of the man's mouth kept bleeding, and he just struggled to raise his eyelids and inspect Liu Yong's face, then closed his eyes with a sneer.

Liu Yong sighed.

This person was able to sneak into the heavily guarded palace without a sound, and he also carried a bow and arrows, if someone didn't secretly help him, it would never be possible, it seems that there are many people like Chen Ji in this huge palace.

At this time, the palace maid who had been rescued by Liu Yong just now ran back from the front.

"Quickly help Concubine Ai go back to rest, and I will come back to visit another day." Liu Yong commanded, and asked a few more warriors to drag the man's body out, and he ran towards Cining Palace as fast as he could.
