Chapter 5: The Imperial Palace
She still remembers the world in her previous life, a world known as the rule of law and justice, but it is also a world where the wicked get away with it.
There, people are subject to all kinds of constraints at all times, and they call this law.
In her previous life, the fifth Xiaolou saw her parents killed, she saw the murderer, and she knew who the mastermind was.
But, that's a world of ** law.
She has no evidence, and she can't afford a good lawyer, so she can only watch the murderer acquitted and the mastermind get away with it, and she is powerless.
She also tried to take revenge, but it was she who was judged by the law. The wicked have always been rich, can afford lawyers, can afford witnesses, and can escape the law.
But this world is different, you don't need God to avenge you, you can take revenge yourself.
This is a world of tooth for tooth and blood for blood, although revenge is not a good way, but it is at least better than asking the wicked to get away with it.
The fifth Xiaolou likes this world very much, at least he can, and he has the ability to take revenge.
Yue Guo Palace, wine pond meat forest.
Emperor Yue Ming was uncomfortable, he hadn't worn clothes for several years, and he only felt uncomfortable with the dragon robe on his body. He hadn't touched a woman for half an hour, and he felt extremely hot when he saw a little eunuch with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes from a distance.
But now he didn't dare to go to the woman, he didn't dare to move, and he didn't even dare to gasp. It's because he just walked into a person, a person he can't afford to offend at all.
When Emperor Yue Ming saw someone coming, he immediately smiled and said flatteringly: "I have long heard that the third prince is a young hero, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, sit down quickly." ”
He was seven feet tall, with a waist as thick as a water tank, a fat body like mountains stacked on top of each other, and his stubby fingers were full of fifteen rings of gold or jewels. He squinted with a smile, and his eyes were immediately covered by the fat on his face, and his whole body trembled, like a fat pig eating.
Yu Wenxia frowned, stopping ten feet away from Emperor Yue Ming, and from a distance he could smell the disgusting aura emanating from Emperor Yue Ming.
Yuwen Xia didn't plan to stay in this disgusting place for a long time, so he directly stared at Emperor Yue Ming's eyes and said coldly: "There are Hu people in the north, and I have 100,000 elite soldiers in the Great Zhou who want to take advantage of the Yue country to crusade against the north." He paused, and then arched his hand: "I don't know what King Yue wants?"
Yu Wenxia's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and Emperor Yue Ming glanced at his eyes, and cold sweat trickled down.
He immediately turned his gaze away, held on to the dragon chair and gasped: "Zhou, the two countries of Vietnam have been friends for generations, so I have to help with such a small favor." ”
Emperor Yue Ming is not stupid, but very smart and interesting. He knew who had put him in this position, and he knew that the other party could pinch himself to death like a bug.
He suddenly thought of the former emperor of the Yue Kingdom, who once swore to resist the Great Zhou unyieldingly, but his death was unknown. He suddenly thought of himself again, a most useless prince actually sat on the throne, and he actually sat so steadily.
The days of becoming an emperor seem to be coming to an end. But he doesn't care, he doesn't care about his country, he doesn't care about his throne. All he cared about was wine, meat, and women.
Yu Wenxia showed a smile in his eyes and said, "If King Yue doesn't dislike it, he will live in the northern capital in the future." ”
The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good.
Emperor Da Zhou liked this sentence very much, and he also used it very skillfully.
Emperor Yue Ming also gave up his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that the northern capital is prosperous, and I have long wanted to see it." In this way, I thanked the three princes. ”
People who are interested usually live a little easier than people who are not interested.
Yu Wenxia didn't answer, turned around and left, his father's task had been completed, and he didn't want to stay here for even a second longer. What's more, he has more important things to do when he comes to Vietnam this time, a promise that should have been fulfilled six years ago.
He didn't know if the person he had promised was still there, or how he would react if he did. All he knew was that this promise, which had expired, had to be fulfilled now.
On the second day of the lunar month, light snow.
The inside and outside of the Yue Kingdom Palace are full of lights, beaming with joy, and the scenery is infinite for a while.
At noon, the snow in front of the gate was swept away. Outside the vermilion wall, covered with snow, there were not only blue brick floors, but also many corpses, many frozen corpses. The little eunuchs who passed by frowned and walked briskly. They don't want to care, they don't bother to care, even the emperor doesn't care, what are they anxious about when they are eunuchs.
The beggars and vendors who gathered around the door on weekdays were dispersed early. It's also good that there won't be any new corpses joining the wall.
About the same time, there were more than a dozen vermilion sedan chairs parked in front of the noon gate, waiting for the time to be sent directly into the wine pool.
Yes, it was sent directly to the wine pond because the Emperor of Yue was there, to be precise, he had always been there.
The sedan chair in Yanyulou was placed first at the side door, and Li's mother stuffed a lot of silver into the leading eunuch, according to the leading eunuch, to ensure that the fifth small building was the first to see the emperor.
The fifth Xiaolou was dressed in a vermilion wedding dress, sitting in a sedan chair with his head down, and Aji Excalibur was hidden by her in the skirt of the mopping floor. She was sure that as long as she saw the emperor, she would be able to kill him with a sword, and as for how to escape after that, she didn't think much about it and didn't dare to think about it.
No one could stop a well-trained army of hundreds of people, not even Yan Ming, who was the number one on the Tianzi List.
It's just that what she doesn't know is that the current palace of Yue has been emptied by the Great Zhou, and only the King of Yue is left waiting for Yuwen Xia to send him to the northern capital of the Great Zhou.
Mother Li, who was outside the sedan chair, was painstakingly teaching the fifth Xiaolou how to please men and how to intrigue in the harem. Mother Li's mouth was dry, but the fifth Xiaolou didn't listen to a word, she went to kill, not to be a concubine.
As it approached noon, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The fifth small building looked at the flying snow outside the window for a while, and suddenly the heavy side door was pushed open by one person.
Almost everyone looked at the past curiously, only to see a man with a long knife at his waist, walking out of the door quickly, and the little eunuchs around him immediately knelt on the ground when they saw someone coming. The people on the side of the sedan chair were first taken aback when they saw the eunuchs fighting like this, and then they learned to kneel on the ground.
After Yu Wenxia went out, he looked around, wanting to find his fast horse immediately.
Suddenly found that someone in the sedan chair was looking at him unscrupulously, and he frowned and saw the first sedan chair at the door.
The four looked at each other, and although they were separated by the window screen, the two of them had a sense of familiarity at the same time.
At this time, the little eunuch led a roaring fast horse to Yu Wenxia, and immediately knelt down beside the horse, kneeling very steadily.
Yu Wenxia exhaled softly, he knew that he had something very important to do now, so he didn't think much about it. Suddenly, he turned his head and stared at the horse's eyes, reaching out to stroke its forehead. The fast horse, which had just been pacing back and forth, immediately fell silent, like a kitten meekly rubbing between his hands.
He did not have the habit of stepping on people's backs and mounted horses, and ignored the courtesy of the little eunuch. With a slight leap, it landed firmly on the horse's back, and the horse roared and quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
Fifth Xiaolou didn't think much about it, she had known more men in the past few years than she had in her previous life in twenty years, and she felt that familiar people abounded.
After another incense stick, the snow suddenly stopped.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, like a golden sword piercing through the sky and piercing into the snow, which was dizzying.
The leading eunuch squinted his eyes and saw the noon sun, and suddenly dragged a sharp long voice and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, enter the palace." ”
The sedan chair drivers immediately moved, and more than a dozen sedan chairs lined up from the side door in order. The inspecting soldier just lifted the curtain and didn't even look at it, yawning to check the next sedan chair.
It was so smooth that the fifth small building couldn't believe that the guards of a palace were so lax.
The palace is very large, the palanquin driver walks fast, and the heart of the fifth small building beats faster.
Aji's Excalibur had been taken out of her skirt and hidden in her loose sleeves, and she had fantasized about this day countless times and dreamed of this day, either in a smooth or tortuous way.
But none of this matters anymore, reality has come and all illusions have been shattered.
The sedan chair stopped steadily at the door of the wine pool, and the heart of the fifth small building suddenly calmed down.
She thought of her parents in her past life, and she thought of her parents in this life.
All of her hatred suddenly found an outlet, frantically pouring into her brain, in her hand and in her sword.
The fifth Xiaolou seemed to be able to hear the whisper of Aji Excalibur, it was her own whisper.
She entered into absolute calm. She knew that if the people in the palace did not die, all the hatred would immediately burst, and even if she did not die in it, she would go crazy and die.
The fresh snow in front of the wine pool has not yet been stepped on, and in the sun, it is dazzling and holy.
She asked herself softly, "Wouldn't it be beautiful if blood dripped on the snow?"
No one answered, and no one knew.
In front of the Yanyu Building, it is a little deserted, and few people like to visit the Qinglou during the day, but it does not mean that no one comes.
An angry voice suddenly came from inside the building, and it was a man's voice: "What did you say!? Xiaolou entered the palace today!?"
It's something that the whole street knows, but it seems like only he doesn't know.
It is estimated that he is an infatuated man again, and the people downstairs shook their heads and resumed their usual work.
Miss Juanjuan trembled like a chick in Yu Wenxia's hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes"
Only then did Yu Wenxia realize that her behavior was a little rude, and gently placed her on the stool, exhaled again, and said, "When did you go in?"
Miss Juanjuan hung her head and said, "I'll leave when the hour comes." ”
Yu Wenxia suddenly remembered the girl who looked at her in front of the door at noon, she was so familiar.
He gasped and jumped directly from the second floor and landed on the horse's back accurately, and then took out the horse whip that he had never used before and whipped it on the horse's ass fiercely, and the horse was in pain, and galloped forward with a roar.
Yu Wenxia knew what kind of person Emperor Yue Ming was, and he also knew what would happen to the woman in the hands of Emperor Yue Ming.
There was an aura of murder in front of the wine pool.
Ten heavily armored guards stood in front of the door of the wine pool, looking into the distance without squinting. In the middle of the black breastplate, there is a big word "Zhou" written on it.
The fifth Xiaolou walked past them upright, and there was no expression on his face.
She didn't know why Da Zhou's Xuanjiawei was here, and she didn't want to know. At this point, there is no way back.
As soon as you enter the wine pool in the fifth building, the door is closed. She saw Emperor Yue Ming naked in the wine pool at a glance, and his gaze was so hot and disgusting.
Emperor Yue Ming had a very good habit, but at the same time a very bad habit. He likes to play with women one by one, and there can be no one else in the temple.
Everyone has quirks, but some can really be deadly.
When the fifth Xiaolou came to the side of the wine pool, he immediately knelt down, his hands on the ground, and his forehead was tightly pressed against the back of his hands.
Emperor Yue Ming stood up and said, "Concubine Ai raised her head. ”
The fifth Xiaolou did not pay attention to Emperor Yue Ming.
Emperor Yue Ming suddenly smiled obscenely and said, "Concubine Ai is shy?"
The fifth Xiaolou suddenly said: "Does the emperor remember the fifth general ten years ago?"
Emperor Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Fifth Xiaolou to ask such a question at all, and he didn't remember the Fifth General at all.
He pretended to think for a moment and said, "Oh, I remember. ”
Only then did the fifth Xiaolou raise his head, with a charming smile on his face, and said softly: "Then Your Majesty should remember that you ordered the Fifth General's Mansion to be beheaded, right?"
Fifth Xiaolou's hand had already touched the hilt of Aji's sword.
When the sword is in hand, it has the power to kill. If the sword is in the heart, it has the intention of killing.
One is indispensable.
Aji's sword is in the hands of the fifth Xiaolou, and she is also in her heart.
No matter how stupid a person is, he should find that the situation is a little wrong, not to mention that Emperor Yue Ming is not stupid.
He immediately opened his mouth to shout at the guards, and suddenly a sword qi slashed through his throat accurately, without hurting the arteries, but completely making Emperor Yue Ming silent.
Emperor Yue Ming clutched his throat, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make any sound. He wanted to run, but his legs were trembling and he couldn't stand up at all. He fell to the ground, clutching his throat with one hand and rubbing the ground behind him with the other.
Emperor Yue Ming climbed very slowly, and the fifth small building followed very slowly.
The fifth small building followed behind Emperor Yue Ming unhurriedly, smiling and staring at Emperor Yue Ming's eyes.
Frightened, angry, begging for mercy, all kinds of emotions flashed in the eyes of Emperor Yue Ming, even wonderful.
When he reached the corner of the wall, there was no way back, and Emperor Yue Ming turned around and knelt in front of the fifth small building, kowtowing constantly.
Gradually, blood was already oozing from Emperor Yue Ming's forehead, and the fifth Xiaolou frowned, she didn't want Emperor Yue Ming to faint. So the scabbard was picked forward, and Emperor Yue Ming was immediately knocked to the ground and rolled into the wine pool.
The Xuanjiawei at the door only noticed something strange at this time, and broke into the wine pool directly, and when he pushed the door, he saw Emperor Yue Ming covered in blood in the wine pool, as well as the fifth small building with a sword.
Emperor Yue Ming immediately laughed, if it weren't for one hand covering his throat, he would definitely clap his hands and sing wildly.
Ten Xuanjia guards held large shields from all directions, and surrounded the fifth small building. Emperor Yue Ming ran out of the wine pool with a roll, hiding behind Xuanjiawei, not caring about the injury, and looking at the fifth small building with mocking eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man.
When it was closer, the long knives of ten people slashed out at the same time.
The short sword of the fifth small building suddenly stabbed out, stabbing out from the most incredible angle, and there was the most inexplicable change when the stab reached the end.
There was a wind blowing, and I don't know if it was the sword that brought the wind, or the wind that brought the sword.
The sword qi was like silk, seeping into the invulnerable Xuanjia Guard, and also infiltrating the bone marrow of the Xuanjia Guard.
The sword qi was like mist, and suddenly heard a "bang", and the silky sword qi suddenly burst open, like the cold ice of the moon, freezing the joints of the hands and feet of the ten Xuanjia guards. The ten people kept their knives raised and couldn't move.
The sword qi was like the wind, and a breeze surrounded Emperor Yue Ming's body, like a void demon surrounding him, and the sharp claws took away Emperor Yue Ming's two ears, as if taking away a trace of his soul.
Emperor Yue Ming was indeed frightened, and the blood did not flow out, but a lot of orange-yellow liquid flowed out from his crotch.
The fifth Xiaolou frowned, and another sword stabbed out.
The breeze suddenly turned into a violent wind, sharper and more violent than the winter wind.
Surrounded by a strong wind, Emperor Yue Ming could feel and see that his flesh and blood were disappearing little by little. Starting from the limbs, skin, flesh, muscles, and veins, and finally only a piece of white bones remained.
But he's not dead.
Emperor Yue Ming now finally realized how terrible the word "Ling Chi" could be shouted casually.
Soon, only white bones remained in his limbs, and he just lay on the ground and gave up struggling.
The sword qi slashed down his limbs and towards his chest, and the flesh and ribs were quickly crushed into a blood mist by the sword qi.
In the fifth small building, you can clearly see that Emperor Yue Ming's hollowed-out left chest has a heart beating wildly, faster and faster, faster and faster.
When I heard the sound of "bang" again, my heart immediately exploded, and the blood inside instantly rushed out of the wine pool and fell outside.
Aji's sword was trembling because the hand holding it was trembling. Aji Sword is excited, because the people who use it are excited.
The wind stops, and the sword is sheathed.
The Xuanjia guards were already able to move their bodies, but they really didn't dare to move, and the ten people kept the posture they had just now and looked at each other.
The fifth Xiaolou didn't care about them, and walked out of the wine pool slowly with paces.
Standing at the door, she gently pulled the thin strap on her chest, and the cumbersome floor-length skirt fell on the snow, revealing the innermost light lesar dress. She shook her hair again, sweeping all the golden hairpins and phoenix crowns on her head to the ground, leaving only a long black hair casually draped over her shoulders.
Fifth Xiaolou didn't see any expression on her face, and she didn't know what expression to use to deal with.
She just stared blankly, the blood of the enemy flowing in the snow.
The blood falling on the snow was really beautiful.
