In the fourteenth year of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yingzong raised the six battalions of the Beijing division with 500,000 horses and horses to conquer Wara, and was defeated in Tumubao, and the whole army was exhausted. In October, the news came, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

The Warat army took advantage of the situation to move south, broke through the border pass, and rushed straight to Beijing. The Ming court dispatched troops everywhere, whether it was war or peace, or south, for a time there were different opinions, it was difficult to reach a conclusion, and the people of the court and the people were panicked. With the support of Empress Dowager Sun and Yu Qian and other off-duty ministers, Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, temporarily regent the emperor on behalf of the emperor.

Late at night, an official sedan chair went out of the gate of the military department. It was Yu Qian in the sedan chair, the Quartet military reports were frequent, and the newly appointed secretary of the military department was busy with anxiety, and it was not until the third watch that he finished handling military affairs, and he staggered in the sedan chair and fell asleep unconsciously tired.

"Bang Dang"

The sedan chair fell to the ground suddenly, and Yu Qian almost fell out. Yu Qian woke up suddenly, something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qian opened the curtain and opened his eyes to see the staggered corpse of the palanquin man.

Someone stabbed it!

A zhang away stood four masked men in black, their long knives dripping with blood. can silently kill four palanquin men at the same time, these four people's martial arts are not weak, and their cooperation is even more tacit. Seeing Yu Qian come out, the four of them did not hesitate at all, and the four quick knives slashed at Yu Qian's head, neck, chest, waist and abdomen at the same time, and Yu Qian's life hung by a thread!

It was also Yu Qian's life that should not be killed, just when the four fast knives were about to be cut down, the two figures rushed to the scene, and the two long swords opened the fast knives one on the left and one on the right, followed by the two of them raising their legs at the same time, and kicking the four people horizontally!

The sudden turn of events caught the four Assassins off guard, and they staggered backwards and fell two steps backwards, barely able to stand their feet, and the two attacked again.

"Withdraw!" The Assassins saw that the situation was not good, the opponent's martial arts were strong, and they were afraid that they would not be able to win for a while, and if they had been entangled for a long time, the defenders of the night patrol arrived, and they would not be able to leave if they wanted to. Today's assassination attempt had failed, and the Assassins did not hesitate to retreat.

"Poor Kou Mo chase!" the two people with swords were about to pursue, when Yu Qian's shout suddenly came from behind them.

The two of them turned around, it was Jiang Yuan and Li Qing. On the front line of the survival of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Yuan and others came to Beijing early to find Yu Qian, hoping to make a meager contribution, and now live in Yu Qian's mansion temporarily.

"My lord, these people must investigate clearly, when the country is in danger, they dare to assassinate the minister, this is a great crime of the Nine Clan......s!

"Judging from the moves they teamed up just now, it should be Jinyiwei. ”

Yu Qian thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "No, the assassins were sent by Wara, the purpose is to make us have internal contradictions, so that they can take advantage of it. ”

"Uh...... How can you see it?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Li Qing suddenly realized, his face was heavy, and he stared in the direction of the assassin's escape.

Jiang Yuan was even more confused: even if what Lord Yu Qian said was reasonable, was it too early to draw such a conclusion without investigating?

Yu Qian had already come to a conclusion, showing that he didn't want to pursue it any further, and the two of them were not fools, so they put away their long swords and escorted Yu Qian back home.

Early the next morning, Yu Qian went to the morning court and did not come back until sunset. Jiang Yuan and the others were worried, for fear that he would be robbed and killed again on the road.

However, Yu Qian's appearance when he came back this time was indeed a little strange. The official hat was crooked, the official uniform was not the same, and even a piece of the back was torn apart, Jiang Yuan and Li Qing were dumbfounded, could it be that they met an assassin again in broad daylight?

"Facing up today...... It's not peaceful. Yu Qian said softly, as if he was talking to himself, and it looked like he was in disbelief.

"What happened?" It was hard to imagine what would make Yu Qian look like this, Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

"Ma Shun is dead. ”

Oh, Jiang Yuan was not too surprised: after Wang Zhen's death, most of his lackeys will be liquidated, and an iron like Ma Shun will already die very lightly.

"It's not that simple, he was beaten to death by a group of old ministers in the court. ”

Jiang Yuan couldn't believe his ears, now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, all the generals who can fight have been sent out, and there are not even a few people who are slightly younger. Li Qing and Qing Snake have never seen this Ma Shun, but Jiang Yuan knows that the two have fought before, and if they really fight, I am afraid that they will not be able to take him within a hundred moves.

Such a person would be beaten to death by a group of old men?

Yu Qian said: "This is the case. Today, the main battle faction of the court and the southbound faction quarreled again, and Ma Shun did not repent, and openly shouted that the war would lead to death. The ministers hated him so much that they were even more furious at that time, and I don't know who took the lead in punching him, and a group of people beat him to death in anger. But strangely enough......"

Jiang Yuan interjected: "He didn't fight back?"

"Exactly. Even if he wants to win sympathy in front of the emperor, he won't be killed, right?" Yu Qian was also a little puzzled.

"There's something weird. Li Qing frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"That's certainly not right. Even if he doesn't fight back, so many years of internal strength are not in vain, as long as he is lucky and internal, even if he is allowed to be beaten by you, with a group of old men, he will definitely not be able to hurt him, let alone die in their hands. ”

"That's ......"

Several people were talking, and Nan Fengqi pushed the door in: "Actually, it's not that I can't understand. ”

What do you mean?"

Nan Fengqi stretched out his left hand, and there were two extremely thin silver needles in his palm: "As soon as Ma Shun's body was sent to Dali Temple, I went to take a look, and this is what I found from his middle body and the sea of qi." ”

"Harmony in the sea of qi?" Jiang Yuan and the others exclaimed. Even Xiao Yu and Xiao Hai know that those who practice martial arts must run from the sea of qi, once the sea of qi is hit hard, a body of martial arts is equivalent to half of the waste, not to mention the middle of the body, it is a dead hole!

In other words, Ma Shun didn't want to fight back, but he couldn't fight back, and he might even have been pierced in the chest by a silver needle before he was beaten, so he was killed by you. ”

"But who would be so ruthless?" Yu Qian closed his eyes and began to recall the scenes that happened during the court meeting, when the ministers in the court did not know martial arts, and the forbidden army had never practiced hidden weapons, ruling out the possibility of Ma Shun's suicide, the only answer was - there were masters around the emperor!

The masters around the emperor glanced at each other, could it be that Yu Wenjun did it? This makes sense, after all, if Yu Wenjun wants to calculate Ma Shun, then it is not a good hand?

Combined with the performance of the court meeting in the past few days, Yu Qian stood up and said in a trembling voice:

It seems that the emperor has made up his mind to fight. ”

This is good news, Yu Qian let out a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally let go.

"But with Beijing's current strength...... Can you hold it?" asked the green snake softly.

"Beijing is the foundation of the world, if the capital is abandoned in the time of war, the foundation is shaken, not to mention the war, who dares to guarantee that the generals with heavy troops in various places have no dissent? In this battle, we can only win, not lose. ”

"Brother Jiang, I heard that your mount can travel thousands of miles in a day according to the night jade lion, is this true?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "This is true. ”

Yu Qian waved a frenzy, wrote four letters in a row, and handed them to Jiang Yuan together with a copper token: "All the soldiers of the Ministry of War have been sent out in the past few days, and now you can only go to Shandong first, and then go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and transfer the reserve army from these two places." Be sure to hand over the letter to the four generals Zhang, Yue, Yu, and Xu, and ask them to act according to the plan. ”

Jiang Yuan took the bronze order and didn't dare to stay for a moment, "I'll go immediately." ”

"Be careful!"
