The top floor of Hanging Temple.
A dozen guards with knives stared at the direction of the wooden windows and stairs with their eagle-like eyes, while the eunuchs waiting nearby did not look good, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
"Where is Ye Chong?"
"What on earth is he, the commander of the Forbidden Army garrison doing?"
Prince Lao Jing snorted heavily, his face extremely expressionless. gloomy.
Who would have thought that Commander Ye Zhong of the Kyoto garrison would not be with His Majesty in such a situation today.
Prince Jing turned his head and glanced at Lu Ze. The second prince Li Chengze saw this and his heart suddenly sank.
Lu Ze said directly, "The hanging temple roof is the most difficult to guard against. Please put the world first and return to the palace immediately."
It is a pity that Lu Ze, the prince of the East Palace, Admonishment is of course fruitless.
I saw Emperor Qing calmly picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.
The man looked at the scenery outside the window. At this time, he slowly closed his eyes. Emperor Qing spoke. His voice was not loud, but it resounded clearly and loudly in the Xuankong Temple. Above the hearts of everyone on the top floor.
"I have been assassinated countless times in my life, both overt and covert. Just the head that was taken out of the palace could have built a large temple in front of the Taiqing Palace."
p>"How could you kids know how magnificent the world was back then."
Emperor Qing suddenly opened his eyes and slowly scanned the crowd, his eyes filled with confusion. Extremely powerful self-confidence.
Although the wrinkles on his forehead and the silver threads on his temples began to invade the middle-aged Emperor Qing, this man was still as confident as when he was riding a horse across the world, and even more confident than then. very.
"Today's situation is full of loopholes. Such a fire that cannot be ignited at all, just wants me to delay the good time for ancestor worship."
"Why do you want to leave? I have never retreated many times in my life."
Lu Ze felt calm, and his eyes showed a certain amount of yearning and admiration for the domineering emperor.
But in my heart, I secretly slandered that the fire in the Xuankong Temple today was obviously set by Emperor Qing, because on such an important day as the ancestral sacrifice, the person responsible for guarding the Xuankong Temple was the one from the Ye family. Ye Zhong, it's a pity that Lu Ze didn't feel the presence of this ninth-grade master after arriving at Xuankong Temple today.
The atmosphere on the top floor of the Hanging Temple suddenly became extremely quiet.
Old King Jing seemed to have thought of something because of Emperor Qing's words, and sighed heavily, his figure like an old farmer even more hunched.
The eldest prince is wearing a luxurious brocade robe today, but his temperament has not changed much since he was officially crowned king.
He took a step forward, saluted, and said in a deep voice, "Father, although there is no thief in this world who has the courage to come to Xuankong Temple to assassinate you, for the sake of the dragon body, and for the sake of the Queen Mother and those bosses downstairs, If people can feel at ease, please come downstairs."
Emperor Qing appreciated that the eldest prince was so forthright.Said temperament.
But this is only from the perspective of the emperor. This is precisely because Emperor Qing did not interfere too much with the eldest prince. The original second prince Li Chengze was also a prince who was obsessed with poetry and songs. He was simply trained as a whetstone and became like this.
Only heard Eunuch Hou’s sharp voice sounding out at the right time.
"Since the old slave served, His Majesty has been assassinated seventy-seven times. Thirteen of them entered the royal study, five times he came within ten steps of His Majesty, and His Majesty never took a step back."< /p>
Lu Ze felt that this Eunuch Hou could go to Deyun Club to be a follower in future generations.
He quietly started to flatter the dragon.
Until a long time later, there was no movement in the Hanging Temple. When everyone on the top floor thought it was just a fire accident, a sharp cold light suddenly flashed, and the sound of a blade being unsheathed was heard with lightning speed. The sound surged towards Emperor Qing.
There is an assassin
The people on the top floor who had relaxed their minds were horrified.
What is even more unexpected is that this assassin turned out to be one of the dozen guards on the top floor. Perhaps he could no longer suppress the murderous intention in his heart, so he chose to use the sword at this time. .
Emperor Qing was originally studying the third prince’s lessons, and the sharp sword light flashed towards the two of them.
At this moment, the third prince stood there blankly. The little prince, who originally looked very elegant at Lu Ze's wedding, seemed to have returned to his normal child behavior. He closed his eyes and screamed. The sound sounded.
Ah
Amidst the screams, the assassin's blade has arrived.
The leaping aura shows that this is an eighth-grade master. Originally, such a master would not be considered a great assassin in the palace. Even the ninth-grade assassins in the palace have killed many times. One, the really tricky thing is that no one thought that the assassin was hidden among the guards, so the knife easily broke through the guard circle of the palace guards.
Luze Station is the farthest away.
But he still acted extremely frightened and rushed towards the assassin's location immediately.
Lu Ze wanted to see if Emperor Qing would still hide his trump card at this time, or whether Emperor Qing would be extremely ruthless and choose to let his son block the sword
The light of the sword It did not hit the third prince or Emperor Qing.
Prince Jing, who was closest to Emperor Qing, raised his cuffs. Lu Ze saw an extremely delicate sleeve arrow quickly penetrate the assassin's throat. The blood flowers flashing in the air seemed to be bigger than the flowers blooming under the Hanging Temple. The even more beautiful and frowning Emperor Qing pulled the third prince back a step.
The railing in front of the window was cut into two by the afterglow of the sword.
At this time, Emperor Qing had already shown a little bit of reaction and speed that were not ordinary people.
Before I had time to relax, a man dressed all in white and holding a simple sword appeared in the building under the sun. The successive assassinations were staged hand in hand. WhoNo one knew when the assassin in white appeared on the top floor.
What is even more troublesome than the assassin just now is that everyone knows that the swordsman in white is a first-rate master.
The guards who stepped forward without fear of death lost their lives almost instantly. However, Emperor Qing, who had been boasted by Eunuch Hou for never retreating in the face of assassination, finally took a few steps back quickly. .
"Eunuch Hong, come to the rescue quickly"
Hong Sixiang appeared in front of everyone and became the Dinghai Shenzhen.
Although the Qingguo Palace has never publicly admitted that Eunuch Hong is the mysterious Grand Master, the speculations make people think that the probability of Eunuch Hong being the Grand Master is quite high.
When Hong Sixiang fought with the assassin in white, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that the real killer of this assassination finally appeared. No one could have imagined that the real killer of this assassination was not the guard from before, nor the white-robed man with extremely sharp swordsmanship. The swordsman came from behind Emperor Qing.
The handsome little eunuch who was responsible for serving the wine turned out to be the most vicious killer move.
Even if Hong Sixiang was really the mysterious Grand Master, it would be impossible for him to appear next to Emperor Qing at this time and block Chi Chi's dagger.
I don’t know how many years the dagger has been buried in the wooden pillars of the Hanging Temple, but it still looks extremely sharp. No one knows how many years ago the assassination plan for Emperor Qing started. It is so perfect. The assassination is like a beautiful movement that will play the prelude to death.
Lu Ze said in a loud voice, "Be careful behind you"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qing frowned and took a stab, and the blood on his back gradually turned bright yellow. Yellow robe.
At this time, Lu Ze became the closest person to Emperor Qing. He showed the heroic side of the Prince of the East Palace. He picked up the copper plate on the altar and stepped forward, towards the little eunuch's head. He hit her on the head with such force that the little eunuch fell to the ground.
Lu Ze glanced at Emperor Qing's back and said hurriedly, "Father"
Emperor Qing didn't care much about the injury on his back, and just said it was okay.
Fortunately, the little eunuch didn't have any skills on his body. Lu Ze looked at the dagger and realized that it might be contaminated with poison. However, Emperor Qing's face looked normal. Lu Ze estimated that it might be contaminated with poison. It was the domineering Qi in the Grand Master's body that played a role.
His Majesty the Emperor, even if the knife was on his body, he had no intention of taking out his trump card.
Lu Ze couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
On the other side, the assassin in white who was fighting with Eunuch Hong saw that the assassination failed, and immediately chose to escape. He tapped his toes on the railing and flew towards the window. Hong Sixiang did not pursue him. After returning, The extremely quiet Ju Qing stood next to Emperor Qing without saying a word.
"It is said that Sigu Jian had a younger brother who left home when he was young and disappeared." Emperor Qing said coldly to Hong Sixiang, "I want to see if both of their brothers are equally stupid. "
Hong Sixiang nodded, turned around and ran towards the temple.
Everyone could see that Emperor Qing was really angry this time. I was still talking about how I was back then, but in the blink of an eye, I encountered such an assassination, and even the dragon's body was covered with blood. It was absolutely a shame and humiliation for Emperor Qing.
The guards who were originally responsible for the emperor's safety. The eunuchs were pale, and even Eunuch Hou was kneeling in front of His Majesty. The trembling people didn't know what kind of changes His Majesty's damaged dragon body would bring to their fate.
The eldest prince. He also knelt before Emperor Qing.
“Father, my son and minister are incompetent. ”
“It frightened my father, and even”
The eldest prince’s expression was dark. He didn’t react at all when the assassin assassinated him. Even the prince who had been in the imperial city for a long time did not react. The heroic and fearless side of the royal child was shown, but he, who had killed many enemies on the front line, did not react.
The second prince knelt down to apologize.
Emperor Qing did not mean to blame, and shook his head, "This assassination happened one after another. It was obviously not planned in a short time. Although you are my sons, it is natural that you did not react for a while. Don't think too much. ”
At this time, Emperor Qing suddenly thought of something, and asked Prince Jing, who didn’t look very good-looking, “That sleeve arrow just now?”
Prince Jing did not answer, but just nodded silently.
Emperor Qing looked puzzled.
It turned out to be the small item she gave away, but she didn’t expect it to be used on me today.
p>
Lu Ze vaguely noticed that Emperor Qing seemed to be heavier at this moment than when he was just assassinated.
Soon after the attic was cleaned, the ministers downstairs went upstairs. He gently hugged the severely frightened third prince and glanced at the ministers upstairs.
"I'm fine. "
"You sir, don't worry too much. ”
At this moment, Emperor Qing still lost his previous anger, and his face was calm, as if the assassination just now had never happened at all, although at this moment the blood was still deeply soaked in the wooden boards of the hanging temple. Emperor Qing's back was soaked in blood, but he stopped the imperial doctor from treating him.
"The ancestor sacrifices continued as usual. ”
The simple four words showed the pride of Emperor Qing.
Even though he had just experienced such a dangerous serial assassination, he recovered after getting angry. As in the past, he didn't care at all about what happened just now. The emperor didn't seem to care much about what happened in the past.
In this way, this time the Xuankong Temple experienced a very unusual royal ancestor. Festival.
The car curtains fluttered slightly with the wind. The car ride back to Kyoto was like a long queue. The scenery outside the official road no longer seemed as it did when we arrived. Bright, His Majesty was assassinatedThe news became a heavy mountain, weighing on everyone's hearts.
Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Lu Ze's story.
Her eyes were filled with worry.
Not only for the emperor’s uncle who was injured in the assassination, but also for Lu Ze beside him.
In the future, Lu Zeke will also be the lord of the Qing Kingdom, which means that the husband next to him may also encounter such dangerous assassinations in the future. How can Wan'er, as a wife, not worry.
Lu Ze pinched her increasingly rounded face and kissed it directly.
Lin Wan'er spat at Lu Ze, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Why don't you see Commander Ye today?"
Lu Ze shook his head, "I don't know where Ye Zhong went."
Wan'er covered her mouth in shock.
"This"
She couldn't help feeling worried about her friend's father.
No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that His Majesty was assassinated today, and Ye Chong, who was responsible for this ancestor sacrifice, did not show up for a long time. This reason alone is enough to put this Ye family who has made countless contributions The pillars of support were trampled to the ground, and they were never able to stand up again.
"Ye Zhong is not from Hutu."
"The capital is currently unstable, and this ancestral sacrifice is the most important event of the year. It is impossible for him to leave his post without permission. "
"Unless"
Wan'er and Lu Ze had a clear understanding of each other, and she answered with bright eyes, "Unless he was ordered to do other errands."
Lu Ze nodded, watching Wan'er's face getting better, but did not explain to her how the Ye family might end this time.
The initial fire was started by His Majesty himself. The purpose was to get the Ye family to hand over the power to guard Kyoto. Because of the marriage between the second prince and Ye Ling'er, Emperor Qing did not allow the prince to do so. With the help of a minister as high as the prime minister, he would not accept the second prince marrying the Ye family, which controls the Kyoto garrison.
Although Emperor Qing's handwriting does not look so decent.
"Chen Pingping"
"This old guy finally started to test it out."
"I have to add some leftover ingredients."
< p>It’s night.A man in black, blindfolded by a black cloth, walked out of the East Palace Mansion.
Lu Ze looked at the silly girl dressed up like this and nodded, "It really looks like her." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
