Empress Dowager Wu reached for a brocade box beside the bed.

Li Yin and Chen Ji stretched their necks at the same time.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Wu mustered up the courage to jump up suddenly, waved the brocade box and slammed it down on the top of Li Yin's head, screaming at the same time in her mouth.

Li Yin would never have thought that Empress Dowager Wu, who seemed to be desperate, would make such a move, but she didn't react for a while, and was smashed on her forehead by the brocade box.

Empress Dowager Wu was also in a hurry, she didn't know how much force she used, the wooden box smashed on Li Yin's forehead with a muffled sound, and it shattered, and Li Yin also shook and fell to the ground.

Chen Ji was shocked, took a few steps back, pounced forward, and grabbed the jade pendant that fell to the ground.

Empress Dowager Wu rushed over like crazy, grabbed Chen Ji's bun and pulled it back desperately.

Chen Ji punched, but was bitten by a finger by Empress Dowager Wu.

Xiao Ling'er outside heard that the voice was wrong, and asked loudly, "Queen Mother, but is there something wrong?" ”

"Hurry up and get someone to catch the assassin!" Empress Dowager Wu bit Chen Ji's fingers hard, and a few words burst out between her teeth.

Chen Ji was in great pain, and with a wave of his other hand, he slapped the Empress Dowager Wu's face hard.

Empress Dowager Wu's cheeks were red and swollen, but she closed her eyes tightly, her upper and lower jaws suddenly forced, and with a "click", she actually bit off one of Chen Ji's fingers.

Chen Ji screamed in pain and almost fainted.

Even so, this guy still reluctantly grabbed the jade pendant in his hand.

At this time, Xiao Ling'er outside the door had already run in while shouting "catch the assassin".

Chen Ji knew that if he hesitated a little, he might be rushed by the forbidden army warriors patrolling nearby, so he escaped through the back door of the dormitory with severe pain.

Li Yin's forehead was smashed with blood, but it was not fatal, but his head was dizzy at the moment he was hit, and by the time he recovered, Chen Ji had already run away, and Empress Dowager Wu was being supported by Xiao Ling'er and trying to leave quickly.

Li Yin may have been stunned by Empress Dowager Wu, he did not run away with Chen Ji, but jumped up and grabbed Empress Dowager Wu's long hair from behind and pulled her over.

"Come and save the Queen Mother!" Xiao Ling'er screamed as she grabbed Li Yin's face.

Several deep blood grooves appeared on Li Yin's face.

The noise alarmed the eunuchs and palace maids outside, and soon, more than a dozen people had already arrived, but they didn't dare to move forward looking at the long sword in Li Yin's hand.

Li Yin pressed his sword against Empress Dowager Wu's neck and forced his eyes on everyone in the room.

Two forbidden warriors also arrived, but they were helpless when they looked at the scene in front of them, and they didn't dare to move forward with steel swords in their hands.

Li Yin held Empress Dowager Wu hostage and walked to the door step by step, trying to use Empress Dowager Wu as a hostage so that he could get out of danger safely.

The wounds on his forehead and face were bleeding all the time, which made Li Yin have to wave his hand again and again to wipe his eyes.

Suddenly, a long sword burst with green light stabbed from the oblique thorn.

Li Yin barely saw the figure of that person clearly, the long sword had pierced through the middle of the two ribs, and the man's hand swirled hard, Li Yin was in severe pain, his hand shook, and the blade cut the skin on the shoulder of the Empress Dowager Wu.

Fortunately, Li Yin's hand slid down two inches when he was shaking, so that Empress Dowager Wu did not have her throat cut.

The long sword fell to the ground, and the Empress Dowager Wu sat on the ground and fainted.

Li Yin grabbed the man's blade with both hands and looked at the man for two seconds, and then was kicked away by the man.

"Piff, how dare you deceive the queen mother?"

The person who came was Liu Yong.

Although Xiao Ling'er told Empress Zhang not to tell Empress Dowager Wu about the matter here, Empress Zhang, who did not know what was going on, still sent Empress Dowager Wu to inform Liu Yong, who was in Yongtai Palace, of the news of Empress Dowager Wu's illness.

Liu Yong was naturally not at ease, so he hurried over.

Lai Yin, who fell to the ground, was cut into several pieces by two samurai.

Several palace maids squatted beside the Empress Dowager Wu.

"Swift Imperial Doctor." Liu Yong threw away the long sword, strode over, picked up the Empress Dowager Wu, and put her back on the bed in the palace.

Everyone was busy taking care of Empress Dowager Wu, and no one even thought of chasing Chen Ji who had escaped.

It's no wonder that Chen Ji had already fled when everyone arrived.

By the time Empress Dowager Wu came to her senses and informed Liu Yong, Chen Ji had already escaped, bandaged his severed finger, and hid.

Liu Yong was furious and ordered the whole city to be searched.

This is the first city-wide search since Liu Yong succeeded Liu Chan.

In the past, even if he knew that Chen Ji and others were hiding in the capital, Liu Yong did not do so because he cared about the safety of the people, but just asked someone to draw a picture of Chen Ji and offer a reward.

However, three days later, there was still no trace of Chen Ji.

Chen Yi hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the arrest of Chen Ji has lasted for three days, and people at all levels of government have repeatedly taken the opportunity to blackmail and extort the people, and the whole city is panicked.

Liu Yong thought about it and nodded.

"Fortunately, the queen mother is fine, and the guards of the city must strictly investigate the people who leave the city, etc., and the affairs in the city should be appeased by Lord Chen, so as not to disturb the people."

"Wechen obeys." Chen Yi replied.

"There's another matter I'm going to discuss with Lord Chen."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have sent General Ma Chun to Wujun with the holy decree of rewarding Cheng Yuan, with the intention of temporarily reassuring Cheng Yuan's heart, however, Che Wei and Cheng Yuan are both treacherous people, and they will soon understand my true intentions, and at that time, they will definitely use Cheng Yuan to confuse General Ma Chun, trick him into opening the city, and conquer my Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Before Cheng Yuan, I personally led people to Hanzhong, and also used Cheng Yuan to confuse the captain and take down Shangyong to ensure that my rear was safe. I wonder what Master Chen thinks of this? ”

Chen Yi shook his head again and again.

"If Your Majesty wants to continue the expedition, it is not the best policy, I have heard that Cao Wei has made frequent changes in the Chencang Ancient Road, and the minister is deeply afraid that his soldiers will suddenly attack, and Zhang Shao and General Zhao Tong will be difficult to resist.

"Lord Chen's concern is exactly what I am worried about, but this thief of the mediocre is not removed, once Sima Yan makes people out of the ancient road of Chencang, my Shu Han will face the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly, I take General Ma Chun to quickly go down to Shangyong City, this important place, General Ma Chun can not be defended, and Hanzhong ordered General Dong Qi to guard it. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of my Shu Han. Liu Yong said.

Chen Yi lowered his head and pondered for a long time.

"Your Majesty's intentions are understood, but who will guard this important place in the capital, could it be that Your Majesty wants to hand over this important task to General Lian Zheng?"

"General Lian needs to follow me, and from now on, he must not be allowed to command the army independently. The affairs of the capital have to be up to Lord Chen, and if necessary, I can consult with my queen mother, Qi'er is very clever, and may be able to help Lord Chen. Liu Yong said.

"In this way, Your Majesty needs to go back quickly and take care of the dragon's body."

Liu Yong nodded.

Liu Yong's difficulties are only understood by Chen Yi and Empress Zhang.

If the captain is not removed, once the Shu Han people and horses are contained in Chencang, the captain will inevitably capture Hanzhong, if Hanzhong is lost, then Shu Han will have no peace.

Liu Yong had to take down the Shangyong before Cao Wei did not act in Chen Cang, otherwise, if Zhao Tong and Zhang Shao were defeated and retreated, his Shu Han Sheji would also face the danger of collapse.

Liu Yong's situation is so difficult!
