Chapter Twenty-Four: Success is a Shot
Lu Yunli is not worried about Lan Ji now, and he will not wake up for a while when he looks at him. What I'm worried about is that the chief of the Golden Praetorian Guard next to the Son of Jincheng last night and the eunuch with long nails are very tricky, even if he and Hua Feihua join forces, they may not be able to win one of them.
I saw Lan Ji, and then I went to see Dongyang, the chief of the Golden Praetorian Guard who wielded the Mo Sword. Dongyang never left the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, standing at the front door of the dormitory, with twenty golden guards, the back door is the eunuch with twenty golden guards, there are also twenty on the roof of the dormitory, and the remaining twenty-three golden guards are also distributed around the dormitory at any time.
Lu Yunli took the initiative to greet Dong Yang: "Brother Dong, last night was really powerful. "Last night, I didn't see this person's appearance clearly, and the time I came with the Son of Heaven didn't show that he was the chief of the guard, and this person's low profile was also a means to protect the Son of Heaven. I looked at him closer today, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, a handsome appearance, a slightly taller figure than ordinary people, and his easy-going personality is difficult to remind people of the courage of this person last night.
Dongyang saw Lu Yunli coming towards this side from a distance, he was fighting with the black snake last night, and he couldn't be distracted to see how Lu Yunli saved the Son of Heaven, but the Golden Praetorian Guard around him saw it, and word of mouth was already known to the whole palace. Dongyang replied: "Fortunately last night, Brother Lu made a move, and the saint was safe." "As he spoke, he bowed down.
Lu Yunli immediately returned the salute and bowed, and said: "Brother Dong is the real hero, but I was so scared that my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't remember where to find the burning stick. ”
Dongyang smiled on his face, but his eyes secretly looked at Lu Yunli's hand, there were no deformed bones and calluses that had been practicing swords all year round, it was clearly a pair of scholars' hands, and he saw the ink heart behind Lu Yunli, and asked, "Brother Lu also practices swords?"
The purpose of Lu Yunli's trip is this, he wants Dongyang to see Mo Xin, and then he will no longer be suspected of carrying Mo Xin in the palace. Pulled out the ink heart and handed it to Dong Yang, Dong Yang took the ink heart, made a few gestures in the air, and said, "How did Brother Lu get such a good knife." ”
Lu Yunli: "This knife is a gift from a friend for self-defense." I don't like to dance with swords and swords, and I concentrate on reading. Now it seems that some kung fu is useful. I don't know how the Holy One is doing now, but I have today's arrangements and I want to ask the Holy One to take a look. ”
Dongyang returned Mo Xin to Lu Yunli and said, "The Holy Lord will not rest until dawn, and this sleep is going to be night." ”
Lu Yun left his goal, put away his heart, said a few polite words and turned to leave. Dongyang still has a lot of doubts in his heart, but seeing that Lu Yunli's few answers are all leaky, he didn't ask too much.
Hua Feihua had secretly sent Yiyan out of the palace this morning and arranged for him to live in a dilapidated hut in Bingma County, which Hua Feihua had bought a year ago, and it was dilapidated, dark and cramped, and even ordinary people would not notice such a house.
Returning to the palace, together with Lu Yunli, the two jumped up the highest rockery in the backyard of the palace, pretending to inspect, but actually stood on a high place and saw the entire palace clearly.
Lu Yunli: "The biggest problem now is that the chief of the guard and the eunuch who uses the righteous armor are too high, and there are many palace maids and concubines and eunuchs around the Son of Heaven in Jincheng all the time. ”
Hua Feihua: "Then what do you think?"
Lu Yunli: "The Black Snake didn't succeed this time, there will definitely be a next attack, and it will be in the near future." The general Lan Ji was seriously injured, and the news must come out, and the emperor of Jincheng will not act for a while, and will definitely shrink in the palace in order to protect himself. ”
Hua Feihua: "Why do you know that the group of people in black last night were black snakes?"
Lu Yunli: "I had an intersection with the black snake before because of chance, last night their clothes were changed to night clothes without the black snake logo, the purpose is to hide themselves, but I recognize some of them, and they also recognize me, if the black snake succeeds in winning the Jincheng Emperor, the palace will definitely be disrupted, and the Golden Praetorian Guard will also be defeated by itself, and the goal of the black snake will be to kill me and destroy the mouth, so I have to protect the Jincheng Emperor." ”
Hua Feihua: "I know, you have your problems, I just want to get out of this place that I hate as soon as possible." After saying that, he jumped off the rockery and left.
It was peaceful all day, and the son of Jincheng woke up at noon, went to see Lan Ji first, and found that he was still in a coma, and urged the imperial doctor to be cured. The king of Beiling arranged for people to call themselves as long as they saw the son of heaven in Jincheng wake up, and the king of Beiling accompanied the son of heaven of Jincheng to have lunch, and the king of Beiling said: "Last night, I sent ten people to take different roads back to Jincheng to move the rescue troops, and sent twenty people to ask for help from the king of Tanglin and the king of Xiling, asking for the elite soldiers to be sent as soon as possible. ”
Jincheng Tianzi: "Who were the people last night? Why were all the soldiers fascinated, have you investigated clearly?"
King Beiling: "The investigation is clear, those people belong to an organization called Black Snake, this Black Snake is engaged in a special assassination business, who sent it has not yet been found." The reason why the soldiers were fascinated was that during the day, those men in black disguised themselves as our soldiers, blended into the army, and used their hands to flick powerful drugs into the pot of eating, and there must be many people doing this at the same time to fascinate all our 100,000 soldiers. ”
Jincheng Tianzi: "You can find out so much information in such a short time, and you are also very capable." Although my life hung by a thread last night, and I was saved by a scholar in your house in a panic, I know that you are loyal to me, and I will reward you generously when I return. ”
King Beiling hurriedly knelt down and thanked him. The king of Beiling knew in his heart that this expedition to the blue wolf country was just an introduction, it was enough to have Lan Ji in the war, and the reason why the emperor of Jincheng wanted to come was just that he was tired of staying in Jincheng, and when he came to the north, as long as the king of Beiling served him to the satisfaction of his satisfaction, it didn't matter whether he won the battle or not.
It was safe and quiet until the night, and although there was no singing, dancing and fighting, the banquet was still very rich, and all the soldiers on the periphery of the palace were on standby.
The night was peaceful, there was no movement.
100,000 soldiers surrounded the two walls in the southwest of the palace, and it was the deputy general Yuntao who commanded the soldiers.
The Black Snake lost a lot of people in the battle last night, although the martial arts were relatively high and withdrew, but for an organization and not an army, this is also a big loss, and the important thing is that he has not yet received the ring. This time it was frustrated, and the morale of the Black Snake was much lower, and it was not suitable to fight continuously.
Hua Feihua waited until late at night without any movement, feeling a little bored and wandering around the city alone. It was pitch black in Bingma County in the middle of the night, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, and I didn't know where there was a night watchman in the distance to tell the hour. A few tall lanterns were still lit with dim light, and the moonlight was sometimes obscured by clouds, Hua Feihua felt that such a night was not an excellent night attack day, but it was so peaceful. All the way to the door of the dilapidated house where Yiyan was, he jumped on the roof lightly, slowly lifted a tile, and looked below, Yiyan was sleeping peacefully, and his heart was at ease. He didn't bother, jumped down softly, and returned to the palace.
Lu Yunli and Hua Feihua were not together, but they also felt that this night should not be so peaceful, but there was no movement at this time, and he still couldn't let go of his heart. He didn't care much about the life and death of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't want the black snake to take away the two dragon-shaped rings on the hands of the Son of Heaven. Everyone had gone to sleep, and there was no sound in the palace except for the footsteps of the patrols. Feeling a little sleepy, he walked back to his room, and as soon as he closed the door, a poisonous needle broke through the window, and Lu Yun left his waist in the middle, and with a "poof" sound, he fell to the ground and passed out.
The snake-eyed people saw that the night was covered by black clouds and the moon, and there was no wind, which was a good weather for a night attack, so they called the cold-eyed people and Sun Li to plan a night attack.
Snake-eyed man: "The three of us took advantage of the darkness of the night to raid the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, he has two masters, and they have already fought last night, and the chief of the guard handed it over to Sun Hucheng." ”
"Yes," the cold-eyed man agreed.
"Eunuch Wei Qian handed it over to Sun Li. Sun Li agreed, "Yes." ”
The snake-eyed man continued: "I will take the arm of the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, and after the ring is obtained, I will retreat immediately, and we will meet here tomorrow night." ”
The discussion was decided, and the three of them prepared separately, and after a while, the three of them were ready, and they all put on the uniforms of the Jincheng soldiers in order to blend into the palace, and they set off together.
Dismounted twenty miles away from the Beiling Palace, and when the soldiers came to inquire, they walked in the direction of the palace on the grounds of the patrol changing the guard. Walking all the way to the outside of the palace wall, there were crowds of soldiers around the palace, some standing guard, and some still asleep. The three of them looked for an opportunity along the city wall, found a gap with fewer people, and jumped into the palace while the soldiers were not looking.
When they fell, they were unfortunately discovered by a small group of patrols in the palace, and the three black snakes were quick to shoot, and before these people could shout urgently, their throats had been cut. Take off the soldier's clothes on the outside, and the night clothes on the inside, which is more convenient to move in the dark.
The residence of the Son of Heaven in Jincheng had already been investigated, and he went straight to the dormitory, and saw that the eunuch Wei Qian was guarding the north gate, while there were dozens of golden guards standing on the roof of the dormitory and around it. With such a tight defense, it must be here.
Sun Hucheng slipped to the south gate first and saw Dongyang at the gate. Sun Hucheng waited for Sun Li to attack first, and then he followed, and when the two masters were all contained, Zhou Lang used the fastest speed to win the ring.
Hearing a shout at the north gate, Sun Hucheng also followed Yue to Dong Yang, who saw this person's cold eyes and knew that it was the person who fought with him last night.
Dongyang pulled out the Mo knife, Sun Hucheng also pulled out the Heavenly Tribulation Knife on his body, and the two fought together, one like a tiger and the other like a giant python, and it was difficult to solve the problem when they were entangled together. The surrounding golden guards were carrying spears, wanting to stab Sun Hucheng when he was not paying attention, Sun Hucheng also saw this, his steps suddenly became flexible, and he started a fight with Dongyang in a circle, and his steps were so fast that Dongyang could only follow Sun Hucheng's rhythm for a while.
