Chapter 51: There is no danger
The eunuch threw away the lantern, held the sword in front of his chest with both hands, and fell to the ground screaming.
The oval lantern rolled on the ground a few times, and the silk covered outside began to burn, and in a moment it burned into a rolling fireball, igniting a ribbon hanging next to it.
The firelight instantly shone into Empress Zhang's bedroom.
Empress Zhang was lying on the bed, wearing a loose nightdress, she hadn't slept yet, and Xi Yue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was about to put down the bed curtain, and the firelight surprised both of them.
"Don't panic, the queen mother, maybe someone in the palace accidentally got it, wait for the slave maid to take a look." Satsuki said, walking quickly out from behind.
Empress Zhang then sat up and jumped out of bed.
By this time, the man had already broken in through the back door with a long sword, and the thin sword was still dripping blood.
"There are assassins!" When she was still more than ten meters away from the man, she had already screamed.
Empress Zhang also saw the person clearly.
The man didn't say a word, and swung his sword at Shatsuki.
When she turned around, she collided with Queen Zhang, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.
The nightdress on Empress Zhang's body slowed down her movement, but fortunately, Xi Yue was still calm, and when she got up, she held Empress Zhang's hand.
"Come on, come to the rescue!" Shame Yue shouted loudly as she ran back behind Empress Zhang.
The man was already close at hand, and stabbed with his sword.
The sword stabbed along the corner of Tsukitsuki's fluttering robe, slashing one of her arms and piercing Empress Zhang's nightdress.
The tip of the sword was lifted upward, and the thin strap of the nightdress was picked off and slid down to the underside of the shoulder, and Empress Zhang's round fragrant shoulders were immediately exposed to the bright firelight.
Empress Zhang clasped her shoulders with both hands, was pushed by the shame moon behind her, and fell to the ground again.
"Your Majesty." In a panic, Empress Zhang shouted.
Just as the man swung his sword again, a black shadow suddenly bounced up from the side and pounced in the air.
The man was caught off guard and fell to the ground, his sword out of his hand.
Two men rolled on the ground.
"Thief, Hugh is going to hurt Qi'er." Liu Yong's voice sounded.
Empress Zhang struggled to her feet.
At this time, more than a dozen palace maids who lived next door heard the sound and gathered over, but in the face of the two people rolling on the ground, none of them dared to come forward to help.
The man's strength was very great, although Liu Yong was neat, but he was grabbed by the hair, and he couldn't break free for a while, so he had to punch the man's chest.
Blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth, but he waved his arm vigorously and finally threw Liu Yong aside.
The two got up almost at the same time.
They all looked at each other with a cold smile on their faces. Then the man leaned down and picked up the sword.
Liu Yong subconsciously groped around his waist, but found that because of anxiety, the long sword was not with him.
"Dusk Jun, can you recognize your son Li?" The man wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and smirked.
"I am the Emperor of Shu Han, how can I know you, a wild horseman." Liu Yong sneered with contempt on his face.
"I am the son of Li Huan, Li Yin." The man pointed at Liu Yong with a long sword, "The faint king killed my ancestor for no reason, and today my son is here to take your head." ”
Liu Yong was stunned.
Of course, he remembered Li Huan, who took the lead in demanding that he go out of the city and surrender when Cao Wei's army had just besieged Chengdu City, and was beheaded by himself in the palace.
"It turned out to be the son of Lord Li." Liu Yong tucked his hair back in a bun that was messed up by Li Yin, and sneered, "At the beginning, your father tried his best to prevent me from rejecting the enemy, and he only wanted to take refuge in Cao Wei, and I killed him in anger. If Li Gongzi repents at this time and puts down the murder weapon, I remember that you are just avenging your father, and you will never be held accountable. ”
"Phew!" Li Yin showed disdain, "You faint king, killed my father, but you are still here to quibble, this son vows to kill you today." ”
Li Yin said, coming with a sword.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Empress Zhang shouted.
Liu Yong dodged the long sword and rolled up his long robe sleeves, hoping to snatch the long sword over, but he didn't want to be cut off by Li Yin's long sword, and the sharp blade slid close to Liu Yong's fingertips.
Liu Yong had no weapon in his hand, so he could only dodge as much as he could.
"Shame on the moon, quickly take Qi'er to avoid." During Liu Yong's battle, he still did not forget to remind the trembling Shame Moon Dao who was standing on the side.
Shayue woke up suddenly, took Empress Zhang's hand and ran back to the palace.
Empress Zhang's delicate back skin formed a black mist in front of Liu Yong's eyes.
Fortunately, at this time, Qi Zhen, who heard the shouting, bypassed the entire palace and rushed over from the front.
It stands to reason that Qi Zhen can get here quickly if he goes straight through the hall and Empress Zhang's bedroom, but because of the concept of dignity and inferiority at that time, he didn't dare to pass through the dormitory directly, so he would be one step late.
Followed by several warriors from Cao Wei's army.
"How can you be a traitor, how dare you hurt my majesty?" Qi Zhen was really brave, and with a loud roar, even the lantern hanging high at the back door of Jing'an Palace was shaken.
With this roar, the chain hammer in Qi Zhen's hand struck Li Yin's head like lightning.
Li Yin hurriedly swung his sword to block.
With a "dang", the long sword was broken by a volley.
The strength of the hammer decreased slightly, and it slid down a few inches, but it still smashed into Li Yin's chest.
Li Yin staggered to the ground, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, but he did not give in, but jumped up with both hands on the ground, threw the half-cut sword in his hand at Liu Yong, and quickly turned around and fled.
Several samurai tried to stop him, but for some reason, as he approached, flashed to the sides to make way for him.
"Traitor, where are you going?" Qi Zhen retracted the chain hammer and chased after him with a shout.
Liu Yong looked at Li Yin's back, and then at the several Cao Wei warriors standing there, and an inappropriate smile appeared on his cold face.
"A few generals rushed to save me, but the traitors have fled, and I ask a few generals to avoid them for the time being."
Several people looked at each other, did not speak, and left.
Only then did all the palace ladies gather around.
Liu Yong was not injured, but the sleeves of his robe were shortened.
"General Qi is going to chase after him, I think this thief has nowhere to escape, you can go back and rest for the time being." Liu Yong was unusually calm.
Watching the palace maids disperse, Liu Yong walked to Empress Zhang's bedroom.
At this time, Empress Zhang had just changed her clothes with the help of Xiyue and was about to come out.
"Your Majesty is safe, and the country is very fortunate." Empress Zhang's little face was still pale.
"Qi'er is fine, and my heart is safe." Liu Yong said.
Empress Zhang's pretty face was slightly red.
Xi Yue covered her injured arm with her hand, looked at the two people, and suddenly her little face collapsed, "Your Majesty and the queen mother are so interested, they don't forget to flirt and scold at this time, but they don't care about the life or death of the slave and maid." ”
Liu Yong was startled, only to find that there was still blood oozing out of Xiyue's arm.
"Don't panic when you are ashamed, wait for me to bandage you personally."
Only then did she laugh.
"How dare you work for Your Majesty, it's just a little skin injury, the slave can dispose of it by herself, Your Majesty still cares about the queen." As he spoke, he covered his mouth and ran out.
