Chapter 12: The Assassins
The farcical banquet was made meaningless by a small eunuch under the board. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
King Pu Zhao Wu took his entourage out of the palace in high spirits, and a little eunuch was already waiting here, conveying the apology of the little emperor Zhao Ji, and sending the imperial uncle back to the house with the imperial drive of the Son of Heaven.
In the past, Zhao Wu did not sit in the imperial drive of the Son of Heaven, but today is special, and when he saw the emperor's goodwill, he was naturally very happy, so he asked the palace coachman to go up and check it, and then he called a person in the car to ride together.
Lifting the curtain, a woman with skin as white as snow got out of the car with her face covered, exuding an indescribable charm. Wu Lan, who was also waiting outside the palace, was not treated so well, he was not an official and could not enter the palace, so he had to wait outside on horseback, at this time, he saw that King Pu actually had a woman hidden in his car, and he immediately felt a little unhappy, he made suggestions for your throne, and he was not as good as a woman, but he was helpless, King Pu's martial arts were considered to be middle and upper, and he was also a person with a great chance to ascend the throne, but he was a little.
Just look at what King Pu said in the Xiyue Building the day before yesterday.
At this time, Liuchengyu drove out, Wu Lan and Lin Yunchi greeted each other, and then drove their horses to accompany the carriage on the left and right sides of the carriage to accompany the slow, as for the woman's coquettish and frolicking in the car, he didn't hear it.
In the royal car, King Pu leaned on the soft blanket, enjoying the massage of his concubine, humming a small song with incomplete tones in his mouth, and his expression was indescribably proud.
"Your Highness, today's banquet of hundreds of officials seems to make His Highness very happy, can you tell the slaves. The beautiful concubine exhaled like an orchid, her lips opened lightly, and the glutinous sound made Zhao Wu feel comfortable.
"This is a matter of the court, and it is better for you to be a woman. Zhao Wu gently hooked her tender chin and said, "You only need to serve Gu well, this is your business." ”
"No..... slave family has to listen. The beautiful concubine pouted, threw herself into his arms and said coquettishly: "The slave family was upset in the carriage, and finally fell asleep, His Royal Highness broke in again, and the slave family did not follow, His Royal Highness compensated me." ”
King Pu touched the green silk of this beautiful concubine infatuatedly, and said: "Shengxue, don't blame the lonely king, if you want to blame, blame you for being too beautiful, leave you in the palace, the lonely king is not at ease, and the Wang family is a jealous person, and she is afraid that if you leave, she will harm you." After a pause, he said in a flirtatious tone: "Besides, the lonely king loves you, and I wish I could tie you up every day." ”
"The slave also wants to be by His Highness's side every day. Sheng Xue rubbed King Pu's long beard, "It's better for His Royal Highness to retire Mrs. Wang." ”
King Pu shook his head, "Although the Wang family is jealous, she has not made any mistakes, and it is not good for Gu to divorce her, but it will bring a bad impression to the hundred officials, and the harm will outweigh the benefits, which is very inappropriate." ”
Just when the two of them were in love, a shout suddenly came from outside, and King Pu got up and lifted the curtain, and saw two figures stacked on top of each other, and separated in a blink of an eye, and the figure below smashed heavily on the side of the carriage, Zhao Wu saw clearly that it was his right-hand man Wu Lan.
"Catch the assassin!"
Zhao Wu shouted, but he didn't see who the person was, he took the sword and was about to go out, but he was dragged by the arm of the beautiful concubine Shengxue, and he trembled with fright, looking like I was pitiful, Zhao Wu's heart softened and gave up the idea of going out to arrest people, and he heard the sound of gold and iron outside, and from time to time someone screamed, which showed that the assassin was very good.
Suddenly, the carriage shook suddenly, King Pu took out his sword and stirred it to the window, and the sword body shook as if it was blocked. It must have been the assassin hovering around the side of the royal carriage, and immediately said, "Concubine, be at ease, wait for the lonely king to meet this person." ”
After finishing speaking, just as he was about to go out, a black flash flashed, and his big palm smashed the door and covered it. Sheng Xue was startled, shrank back, no one noticed, the delicate hand like snow was slightly gripped, ready to go, and suddenly saw King Pu dodge the enemy's blow, turn the danger into a disaster, and turn back to the pitiful appearance of Chu Chu.
"Where to go!" Zhao Wu shouted angrily, and when he chased out, he saw that the man in black had fought with Lin Yunchi for a few more moves, and the wind under his feet stepped on the shoulders of the guards, like a few winged birds and disappeared into the black curtain.
Lin Yunchi knelt down on one knee towards King Pu, and said ashamedly: "Your Highness, please punish, Lin is incompetent, which made the assassin shocked the king and injured Mr. Wu." ”
"How is Mr. Wu's injury?" Zhao Wu shook off his robe and strode to see Wu Lan's condition.
Lin Yunchi checked the injury and let out a breath, "Your Highness, rest assured, Mr. Wu only suffered a little trauma, plus he was frightened, so he passed out." ”
King Pu sighed "hmm" and said in a deep voice: "Go home immediately." With that, he got into the carriage.
"Yes. Lin Yunchi arched his hand, watched King Pu get into the car, turned around and shouted: "Everyone speed up, go back to the palace quickly!"
Inside the car, Pu Wang Zhao Wu had a gloomy face, it was not that he had never met an assassin in his life, but why did the timing of this appearance happen to be after the banquet of the hundred officials?
"What is Your Highness thinking?" Sheng Xue gently took the saber and hung it up, looking like a virtuous woman, "Is it that His Highness has offended some big man at this banquet?"
"Big man?" King Pu suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Concubine, you are confused, who else in this world has a lone king?"
Sheng Xue was slightly worried: "Could it be an assassin sent by His Majesty?" So, the slave is worried that this strong assassin with high martial arts will come again. ”
"I don't have to worry about my concubine, the lonely king is definitely not my nephew. Except for a little eunuch who knows a little martial arts, there is no one around him, and the figure of the assassin he just saw is a tall and fat person, which is too far away from the little eunuch, and the spy who was placed by Zhao Ji's side has never mentioned a person with physical characteristics, it should not be a person in the palace. King Pu pondered for a moment, his eyes were still solemn, "Since it is not in the palace, the person behind the curtain is really hidden, who will it be?"
An hour later, back at King Pu's Mansion, Zhao Wu was about to summon the rest of his henchmen to come over to discuss the assassination incident, when he saw Lin Yun hurriedly asking for a meeting outside the door, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, something happened to Mr. Wu. ”
Zhao Wu opened the door, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness...... It's best to see for yourself. Lin Yunchi's face turned pale and he said tremblingly.
"Rubbish!" Zhao Wu snorted angrily, letting him lead the way in front.
In the side room of the side house, in the inner room smoked with spices, Wu Lan's face on the wooden couch was colorless, and there was no sound.
Lin Yunchi said: "Your Highness, Mr. Wu was originally still breathing evenly, but not long after returning to the room, he screamed and died, and the bones in his body were shattered into powder, and there was no cure. ”
"What a vicious martial arts!" After hearing this, King Pu gasped, "You have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, do you know what kind of martial arts it is?"
Lin Yunchi shook his head, "Back to Your Highness, I have never heard of it. ”
