The leader of the assassins, who was still intoxicated by the "evil arts", was caught off guard, only to feel an incomparably strong force from below, shaking himself like a cannon to the sky, and flying straight above his head.
With a loud bang, the head of the Assassin leader hit the ceiling of the Shengping Building, and then the whole person flew out through the roof, and the masonry, mud and sand rained down.
The bright moon in the sky suddenly poured its snow-white light from the big hole in the roof.
The guard, who had been fighting the Undefeated East before, was also stunned by the tremendous energy she emitted and fell to the ground.
Dongfang was undefeated and turned down, and looked up to the west by the moonlight, only to see a guard dancing with two swords, resisting the siege of the four assassins, presumably the previous master "Xuanfeng" who claimed to protect the queen mother's escape.
Look at his back, it was empty.
Dongfang was undefeated and turned his head to look at the steps, only to see a group of eunuchs sitting on the ground, in a corner on the left, a large internal guard was spreading his arms, wings in front of him, and sitting behind him was the Empress Dowager Gao and her grandson Emperor.
As soon as Dongfang was undefeated, he immediately understood that his previous guess was not wrong, and the "Xuanfeng" guards really played a trick of "striking the east and attacking the west" and "diverting the tiger from the mountain": he pretended to tell the "Empress Dowager Gao" behind him to hold on to himself. He jumped onto the beam of the house and ran towards the gate, in fact, attracting the Assassins to chase and intercept him. And the real Empress Dowager Gao was covered in the corner of the high platform by his companion "Huang Yun" guards, and never left the stage at all.
Several of the Assassins also saw where the Queen Mother and the Emperor were, and immediately jumped up the steps in three steps and two steps, raising their swords and slashing at them.
But how can the No. 4 palace guard "Huang Yun" let them get their wish?
But seeing his arms fluttering, in an instant, there were thousands of cold rays flickering in the moonlight, "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" went straight to the assassin.
"Poof", "poof", "poof", "poof", "poof". The Assassins fell to the ground in an instant, kicked their feet twice, and never moved again.
It seems that this "Huang Yun" is very good at shooting hidden weapons.
The rest of the Assassin minions took a look. Suddenly despaired.
They had fought with their blades for most of the night, and now they were so tired that they looked up into the hole in the roof, but never saw their leader return. I immediately knew that I was gone. One by one, they killed themselves with horizontal knives, and would rather die than be captured.
What's more, several small leaders have to seize the time to slash their accomplices who have been injured and fallen to the ground before committing suicide, so as to ensure that they do not survive.
Therefore, all the accomplices who were defeated by Dongfang Undefeated at the beginning were not spared, and they all suffered the disaster of killing.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was also smashed open by the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army with poles, and a team of golden-armored warriors rushed in. came to the high platform and guarded the Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu with a knife.
Then I heard the Empress Dowager Gao shouting: "Who has a fire fold? ”
Her voice was still calm. But the undefeated East could hear the pain in it.
Was she hurt?
It was only in the dark, and although it was only a small midnight, everyone felt as if three and five years had passed.
The lights finally came on, and everyone in the hall was surprised and frightened for a while.
No one can believe what they see with their eyes, but these things are true—
Su Shi, Su Zhe, Fan Zuyu, Fan Chunren, and several of the most important moderate lords and ministers in the Song court had all fallen and fell in a pool of blood.
Fan Zuyu even had a sword stuck in his waist, and the blade of the sword had pierced straight into his vital point, leaving only a sword hilt.
Empress Dowager Gao also had blood stains on her body, and she was really injured, but she was the calmest of the Song monarchs.
"If you want to find out the mastermind of this assassination, you must catch the person who assassinated the mourning family just now, he should not be far away. Li Xiangting, you quickly lead someone to search the inside and outside of this palace!" Empress Dowager Gao straightened up and ordered to a gold-armored general.
"Yes, the last general obeys!" the general named Li Xiangting was ordered.
Then, Empress Dowager Gao looked around, knowing that the incident had changed very much, her tone became very serious: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor to heal the wounded!"
"Micro ...... We're in command, this ...... Here it goes. The real eunuchs who were intimidated on the stage just now listened, and while agreeing, they ran outside the main hall to summon the arrival of the imperial doctor.
After issuing the order, Empress Dowager Gao's phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, glanced around the hall, had a plan in her heart, and said majestically: "The mastermind of this matter may be in this hall at this moment. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the DPRK who had not been killed or fainted from injuries couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and their legs couldn't help but tremble.
But no one dared to go, no one dared to move.
This matter is too serious, and no one wants to be suspicious, so they can only stand on the spot and listen to the fate of the old queen mother.
Dongfang Undefeated also glanced around, and found that the strange thing was that almost all the people who were not injured in the main hall were the key figures of the radical main battle faction of the Great Song Dynasty, so she also guessed the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Gao: "The main messenger of this murder is one or several of these ministers!"
Look at the Empress Dowager Gao again, although she is not seriously injured, she seems more sad, angry, and depressed than others.
It was also at this time that the imperial doctors in the palace arrived one after another to bandage and apply medicine to the wounded.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhao Xu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Grandma, leave the matter here to those imperial doctors, and the child will help you go back to the back pavilion of the Chongqing Palace to rest." ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she glanced at her grandson suspiciously, then raised her dry palm upwards and vetoed: "Child, don't panic, grandma still has some things to find out here." ”
Turning his head to a Song army general, he ordered: "Zhang Chengzong, you go and transfer all the elite captures in Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Platform to the Mourning family, investigate the scene, and the Mourning family must personally take command!"
"Yes, the last general will go!" the general Zhang took the order and walked out of the palace.
After about a stick of incense, dozens of the most powerful head catchers in the Song Kingdom entered the hall and began to investigate and collect evidence.
And the Empress Dowager Gao held her grandson Emperor in her arms, sitting in the middle of the high platform as motionless as a mountain, closing her eyes and recuperating, waiting for the results of the inspection.
Around them were now standing with the most elite Imperial Forest Army soldiers of the Great Song Kingdom, serving as guards.
After another half an hour, a head catcher came to the Empress Dowager Gao and respectfully reported: "Empress Dowager Qi, Weichen has now found out how the assassins extinguished the oil lamps and candles in the hall at the same time. ”
"Oh, is it?", Empress Dowager Gao listened, her eyes widened, and two rays of light shot out of it, and she said curiously.
Dongfang Undefeated was also listening intently not far away, she was also curious, in the main hall of Shengping Building that night, the original lights were bright, and the masters were like clouds, why the seventy-two ever-bright lanterns and thirty-six red lanterns inside and outside the banquet hall would actually go out at the same time.
The answer she heard was so unexpected that it made sense—the oil in the lamp was dry, and the lamp would go out, and the wick of the candle would burn out. (To be continued......)
