Chapter 395 Playing Lai
The Holy Emperor briefly recounted what happened before and after, Chi Ying and the guards heard that it was Song Li who killed the black necromancer and fished them back from the ghost gate, and they were all grateful, Chi Ying knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and made a big salute to Song Li, and said loudly: "Chi Mou rarely owes others affection in his life, this time, the king of Mengli County rescued him, and Chi remembered it." 【Full text reading】If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely repay this kindness. ”
The six guards also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Song Li, saying "the grace of saving lives, or dare not forget".
Wen Liren also clenched his fists and said: "Speaking of which, King Lijun not only saved the lives of a few of you, but also saved our lives." If he hadn't turned the tide, everyone in the imperial city would have been killed on the spot. King Lijun saved the lives of 100,000 living beings this time, but it is a great merit. ”
In fact, everyone knows this, but since the Holy Emperor didn't say anything, it means that he didn't want to exaggerate Song Li's exploits too much, so no one mentioned this stubble. The Holy Emperor was already very jealous of Song Li, this time he made such a great contribution and saved the entire imperial city, such a feat, it is not too much to praise and reward. However, the Holy Emperor obviously wanted to downplay this point, and everyone present was a human spirit, so how could they not see it?
But Wen Liren is an upright person. With his political wisdom, he naturally understood the thoughts of the Holy Emperor. But from his point of view, he can't tolerate everyone covering up the past like this. This does not mean that he has been on the side of the Ming Emperor's Mansion since then and has fought against the Holy Emperor. It's just a matter of speaking fairly based on a person's minimum conscience.
"The king of Lijun has made a great contribution this time, and when this matter is over, I will reward him heavily. "Since Wen Liren said so, it is not easy for the Holy Emperor to be vague.
Song Li smiled slightly, put his hands under Chi Ying's fist, and with a little force, he helped him up and said, "Everyone is doing things for the empire, and there is nothing to say that anyone will save whose life." Mr. Chi, you're welcome. As for repaying the favor, you will be spared, since you want to protect the life of the Holy Emperor, you have no time to be distracted from doing anything else. ”
Song Li said this, which was tantamount to secretly satirizing the Holy Emperor. Song Daguan has never been a loser, since you, the Holy Emperor, are making small calculations in your heart, I don't have to be polite to you. As his strength grows, he becomes more and more hardened.
The Holy Emperor smiled on the surface, but what he thought in his heart, only he knew.
Prince Zhong's eagle-like gaze roamed back and forth on Song Li and Song Xinghai, since the two of them were born, his bad luck began. In fact, before the Holy Emperor used the father and son of King Ming, Prince Zhong had an advantage in the court and the opposition. The Holy Emperor only had the ability to protect himself, but he was powerless to fight back against him. Since the rise of King Ming's father and son, Prince Zhong has felt that his side is controlled everywhere, and he didn't take Song Xinghai very seriously at first, after all, he has been weak for decades, which will make people have a preconceived contempt.
Especially for Song Li, Prince Zhong didn't take him seriously. How much can a waste wood who has been ridiculed since he was a child, occasionally make a small fuss, and do much? Who knows, it is the father and son, who are regarded as the two major laughing stocks of the imperial capital, actually burst out with amazing energy in silence, and by the time he began to pay attention, it was already too late.
For a long time, Prince Zhong's Mansion has been controlled everywhere in the fighting method with Ming Wangfu, and even his son, who had high hopes, died in the hands of Song Li. His hatred for Song Li's father and son was even greater than that of the Holy Emperor. So this time, he not only arranged how to deal with the Holy Emperor, but also prepared a good show for the Ming Palace.
He felt that Song Xinghai's biggest mistake was to leave his wife Yun Lin in the Ming Palace. This is tantamount to giving him an excellent opportunity, a chance to clamp down on King Ming's father and son.
Prince Zhong made a gesture, and someone behind him released a signal flare, and brilliant fireworks exploded in midair, forming the shape of the word "Zhong".
The people on the city tower looked at the fireworks in mid-air, and they didn't know what Prince Zhong was doing, only a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Song Li's mouth, and those who knew him knew that once he showed this kind of smile, someone would definitely be unlucky.
Ming Wangfu.
Song Xinghai took away 500 guards, leaving 500 guards to patrol the mansion and take on the responsibility of protecting the safety of Princess Ming. The Ming Palace, in the innermost part of the royal city, is very close to the imperial city. The guards could hear the shouts of killing in Triumph Square clearly, and they could even smell the smell of blood wafting in the air. The guards all knew that this time, the emperor was really on the big deal......
Although they really want to go up to Triumph Square to see what the current situation is, their duty is to protect the safety of Princess Ming, and they must not leave the palace without permission. Although there were bursts of kicking sound of military boots on stone slabs from time to time outside the palace, it proved that there were troops passing outside the palace gate. So far, however, there have been no cases of soldiers coming to harass the palace.
In general, there was an unwritten rule of internal mutiny, and they rarely went to trouble the princes and nobles. After all, even after the successful mutiny, the new Holy Emperor still had to rely on the support of these noble lords to sit firmly. Who knows who among these princes and nobles will be favored by the new emperor and become a popular political star? In order to avoid this kind of trouble that offends the future celebrities, the army wisely chooses not to provoke these nobles. Unless ordered by their superiors, they will not be willing to do anything about it.
The Ming Wangfu is the sworn enemy of the Zhong Prince's Mansion, which is clear to anyone who has lived in the imperial capital for a period of time. It stands to reason that Prince Zhong launched a mutiny, and the first thing to be bloodied was probably the Ming Palace. But the forces behind the Ming Wangfu are not so simple. Not only is there the Holy Emperor and a group of ministers to support him, but there is also another behemoth standing - the Alchemist Guild.
Yun Lin, the princess of Ming, and Song Li, the king of Lijun, are both registered alchemists of the Alchemist Guild, and they also hold important positions within the guild. Song Li is also the quasi-grandson-in-law of Cui Heling, the president of the Alchemist Guild. Since the time of the Holy Ancestor, the royal family has shown enough respect for the Alchemist Guild. As a last resort, the royal family will not have a bad relationship with the Alchemist Guild. After all, if you lose the support of the Alchemist Guild, you will lose a large amount of elixir and the help of the Alchemist Guild, which cannot be compensated.
Prince Chung is certainly aware of this. So he did not give the order for the army to blatantly act against the Ming Palace. After all, he didn't dare to completely provoke the Alchemist Guild.
However, after all, Prince Zhong was a conspirator, and if he couldn't do something blatantly, he couldn't solve it by other means? What if a group of people of unknown origin sneaked into the Ming Palace, and kidnapped the Ming Princess? The imperial capital was so chaotic at that time, who knows who did it? You people in the Ming Palace's Mansion didn't protect the Ming Princess, so you can't blame others for it, right? What? You said I did it? What about the evidence? If there is no evidence, it's not good to talk nonsense.
In the afternoon, the sunset was shining, and the guards who were patrolling the Ming Palace's mansion suddenly noticed a row of shadows on the ground.
"Not good. Someone attacked the Ming Palace. One of the guards hastily raised his head, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw a figure wrapped in black clothes, armed with a long sword, like a goshawk pounced on a rabbit, and pounced on him fiercely.
The leader of the guards reacted quickly, but the man in black who pounced down reacted even faster, his long sword was only half drawn, and the blade of the man in black had already slashed his neck.
The carotid artery was cut ...... a deep opening, and blood gushed out like a freshly turned faucet......
The massive body of the leader of the guards collapsed with a bang, and the moment he closed his eyes, he saw his companions fall to the ground in the same way...... Princess Ming is in danger. This was his only concern before he died, but he could no longer get up and resist the strong enemy.
The forty-eight guards of the patrol squad did not even have time to snort before the enemy reaped their lives with clean means.
There were hundreds of black-clothed people who infiltrated the Ming Wang's Mansion, and after they solved the patrol guards in this area, they quickly found a barrier to cover their bodies, and they ran serpentine rats between the courtyards, and encountered the patrol guards of the squad, cooperating with each other, some lured, and some followed, like chopping melons and vegetables, to solve those guards.
They gestured to each other that only each other could understand, and along the way they encroached on the strength of the royal guards, gradually approaching the inner courtyard. Everyone's skills are extremely smart, and they have undergone strict team combat training at a glance, and they are very familiar with each other's cooperation.
Such a group of people with strong individual combat ability and first-class team cooperation consciousness are quite amazing. They were as swift as leopards, as light as raccoon cats, and cleared the small group of guards like a bamboo, and soon approached the core area of the Ming Wang's Mansion - the "Mingxin Palace" where the Ming Wang and his wife lived.
The strange thing is that there are three steps and one post on the periphery of the Ming Palace, two steps and one sentry, and the defense is extremely tight, but the defense around the Mingxin Palace is very loose, only the main gate of the main hall has four guards, and there are no guards standing guard in the rest of the place. A group of black-clothed people, under the guidance of the leader, lurked in the rockery bamboo grove in front of the Mingxin Hall to observe the movements of the Mingxin Palace. (http://.)。
"Don't you think it's strange, boss?" asked a man in black in a low voice.
"It's a bit strange, according to intelligence, Princess Yun Lin didn't follow her to Triumph Square, she should stay here. This is also illustrated by the tight perimeter defenses. However, the defenses around the Mingxin Hall were indeed very abnormal, and it stands to reason that the closer you get to the core area, the tighter the defenses should be. ”
"So what do we do?"
The leader of the man in black groaned for a moment and said in a low voice: "For the sake of safety, everyone is divided into three teams, and groups A, B and C each form a team, led by their respective team leaders. Now, the first team will infiltrate the Mingxin Hall first, and the other two teams will be responsible for observation and cover, and they must be ready to rescue at any time. After the first team entered the Mingxin Palace, they used the code we agreed to report the situation on the scene in a timely manner. ”
The men in black made a gesture of obedience.
