Chapter 185: Mid-Autumn Festival
The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wei Zhongxian, who worked hard to use a lot www.biquge.info of manpower and material resources, finally looked forward to the arrival of this day, and he wanted to feast high-ranking officials on the viewing platform. This day is also the day when people celebrate Wei Zhongxian's birthday, although this day is not Wei Zhongxian's birthday, but Wei Zhongxian, who is in power, said that this day is, then it is, no!
The night is very thick, and although the moon on August 15 is very round and large, it also makes people feel that the night is endlessly dark. Already knowing that the people of the Dongying Evil Art Regiment would make a move tonight, the third brigade of the Jinyi Guard led by Ling Feng took precautions in the imperial city early, in order to prevent accidents, Wei Zhongxian also ordered to transfer back the Jinyi Guard Brigade scattered around the periphery, and Xiao Xiao also logically led the people of the first brigade of the Jinyi Guard to deploy defense on the periphery of the imperial city. If the people of the Dongying Evil Sect attacked, Xiao's team was the first line of defense, the rest of the Jinyi Guard team was the second line of defense, and the Lingfeng Jinyi Guard team in the innermost part of the Imperial City was the last line of defense. And Wei Zhongxian, who monopolized the power, in fact, in addition to the brocade guards arranged inside and outside the imperial city, he also secretly installed a brocade guard master who was a first-class martial arts master, dressed up as a high-ranking official, and protected himself closely, and waited until the evening to enjoy the flowers and the moon and the cinnamon incense with him.
"Why hasn't there been any movement yet?!Are those Dongying people really going to make trouble tonight?!...... so sleepy!"
Standing outside the gate of the Forbidden City, a brocade-clothed guard held a knife weakly in his hand, yawned boredly, and looked left and right, except for the darkness of the night, there was no movement at all.
"Don't say it, refresh yourself! I know that everyone is tired these days, but now you can't be sloppy, if you are not careful, you may kill yourself!"
Outside the gate of the Forbidden City, a seven-person Jinyi guard team arranged by Ling Feng was on duty, and every half an hour, another Jinyi guard team would come to change shifts. And just above their heads, on the Forbidden City Wall, Ling Feng arranged a Jinyi guard team in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions to look around, no matter what accident happened to any team, as long as there was a slight movement, the other team could react immediately.
"Gotcha, gotcha. We are now impassable inside and outside the imperial city, not to mention how tightly our Jinyi Guard's third brigade is arranged, let the Dongying people want to pass through the two Jinyi Guards in front of us, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. No matter how powerful the people of the Dongying Evil Sect are, when they successfully break through the first two lines of defense, when they arrive at us, they will already have more than enough heart and no strength, and they can only wait to die!"
"Hey, don't be too smug, beware you don't know how you died!"
"Alright, alright, you guys will be on duty for a while, let me take a nap first......"
Under the moonlit night, the nerves were tense all the time to raise vigilance, and there were already many brocade guards who were responsible for guarding them began to be physically and mentally exhausted.
The viewing platform in the imperial city was already full of visitors, and most of them inquired from various gossip that something might happen to this viewing platform tonight, but in order to please Wei Zhongxian, they all pretended to be very happy, and they were still happy to celebrate the nine-thousand-year-old birthday of Nanshan, Fushou and Tianqi with wine glasses.
"Today, I, Wei Zhongxian, am very happy to be able to spend the festival here with all the capable men and wise men of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty will depend on you to help me Wei Zhongxian take care of it together, let us do this ......!"
Dressed in gorgeous casual official clothes, Wei Zhongxian took the lead in getting up and holding a white jade wine glass, and his pink face showed a sinister smile that seemed to be tolerant and happy.
"Damn, what a hell of hypocrisy, who doesn't know the ambition of your big gelding?!"
Smelling the aroma of wine and food on the viewing platform, Ling Feng, who was leaning on the foot of the city wall, listened to Wei Zhongxian's sissy voice, and felt very uncomfortable. Ling Feng held the embroidered spring knife in his arms with both hands, and looked up at the full moon hanging in the night sky alone.
"Thinking of ...... every festive season"
Ling Feng, who is not a scholar, no longer knows where this Tang poem comes from, but this single sentence makes Ling Feng feel extremely lonely and desolate during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been more than two years since he came to the Ming Dynasty in a daze, from the Jinyi Wei Captain who didn't know any martial arts at the beginning, to the Jinyi Wei General Banner who can now be regarded as a master, Ling Feng has experienced too many ups and downs. Ling Feng didn't want to think too much, because if he thought too much, he would easily fall into intoxication. And tonight was the time when the Dongying Evil Sect came to attack, as a last defense, Ling Feng didn't dare to be careless.
"The moon is so round, and the moon cakes are not bad......"
Every Jinyi guard on duty, Wei Zhongxian would instruct the people in the imperial dining room to give out two large moon cakes. Ling Feng savored the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room while looking at the night sky and the moon.
"It's raining...... Is it there?"
Ling Feng, who was chewing moon cakes in his mouth and looking up at the sky, suddenly a drop of liquid hit Ling Feng's cheek. At first, Ling Feng thought it was a light rain in the sky.
"Damn, what's going on? Why does it hurt so much......!"
Ling Feng instinctively touched the pain with his hand, but he felt that the place where he had just been dripped by the "rain" suddenly became very hot, and even a part of his left cheek was peeling.
"It's not good, it's concentrated sulfuric acid ......!"
As an excellent special police officer, Ling Feng instinctively sniffed with his nose, thinking of everything that had just happened, Ling Feng exclaimed loudly in his heart.
"My lord, let's go......!"
Realizing that something was in trouble, Ling Feng strode towards the viewing platform with the embroidered spring knife in his hand, shouting loudly as he ran hard.
"Come, come, come, cheers, drink wine and eat meat......"
The high-ranking officials sitting on the viewing platform did not realize the danger at all, and they still admired the moon and beautiful women and drank fine wine.
"Nine thousand years old, dangerous ......!"
Ling Feng had just rushed to the front of the moon viewing platform, when suddenly a dark arrow shot from the dark sky, although Ling Feng hated Wei Zhongxian, Ling Feng still instinctively pounced.
"You, what are you doing?!"
Ling Feng pounced violently, knocking over the wine table in front of Wei Zhongxian, and he also pressed Wei Zhongxian tightly. Before he knew anything, Wei Zhongxian burst out of his true qi in his body, and pushed Ling Feng who was pressing on his body to the side with one palm, and only when he saw clearly that a long arrow was slammed into the opposite pillar, Wei Zhongxian realized that the brocade guard who had just offended him was just protecting himself.
"You guys protect the nine-thousand-year-old ......!"
Wei Zhongxian got up, and his side was already surrounded by several sturdy brocade guards, while Wei Zhongxian himself walked to Ling Feng's side and stretched out his hand to pull Ling Feng up.
"I hope you don't mind your recklessness just now, are you ......okay?"
"No, no, it's okay......"
It was the first time he approached Wei Zhongxian so closely, and Ling Feng didn't know what he felt, but he had just received Wei Zhongxian's palm, which made Ling Feng feel a little scared.
"It seems that they came, and after waiting for so long, they finally came ......"
Wei Zhongxian looked at the endless dark night and realized very confidently, as if he had already planned all this...... (To be continued.) )
