Piercing the Heart [Sword Three]

"The bodyguard suit is very suitable for you." Wei Yu said to Li Tang.

Li Tang rolled his eyes. If it wasn't for his good looks, he would definitely be drowned in the crowd after wearing the bodyguard uniform. Now, thanks to his good looks, he can barely stand out from the crowd.

Personally protecting the third prince, with his body size, besides being a bodyguard, he can only act as a eunuch.

The number of princes who can be brought into the palace is limited, generally there are only two guards and a personal eunuch and maid. Li Tang and Ying Ti occupy two of the four places, and the rest are people trained by Wei Yu himself.

It's not bad in terms of skill.

As for men disguised as women in costume dramas, Li Tang said that it is best to think about it. The imperial guards are not blind. A maid with a male figure of 1.7 meters and five standard may be arrested before she even steps into the palace. Plus torture.

He has no talent in women's clothing.

"Mr. Tang's disguise technique is also very good." Ying Ti looked at Li Tang's new face with fascination.

As a master of disguise, Ying Ti has a lot of experience in seeing through other people's disguise, and through this, he became a celebrity in front of the leader, but if the third prince hadn't said that this was Tang Chenxing, then Wei Yu would have just followed his face. It's really hard to make out.

Such a superb disguise technique is really enviable!

Li Tang looked at the little eunuch with red lips and white teeth in front of him, and suddenly he was glad that he didn't need to play the role of eunuch.

Li Tang: "When can we leave?"

I came to the third prince's place early in the morning to check in. Li Tang, who didn't have enough sleep, was a little drowsy now.

"Let's wait for another incense stick." Wei Yu said to Li Tang in front of him.

Although his martial arts are not as good as those of Jianghu masters, Wei Yu still knows how to practice some kung fu every day. When Li Tang came, he had just finished his morning practice.

After changing out of his exercise clothes, Wei Yu opened his arms and asked the maid to dress him after washing.

This angle should be very ambiguous, but it's a pity that Li Tang, Uncle Li, never gave Wei Yu face, so seeing that Wei Yu hadn't finished his work, Li Tang sat down directly and concentrated on enjoying the pastries, let alone the cook in the third prince's house The craftsmanship is not bad, much better than that of the magic gate.

"If Mr. Tang likes it, I'll let the cook work in your house tomorrow." Wei Yu said.

"Take your family and go to Jianghu sect to ask for a living." Li Tang sighed, "It's unnecessary, seeing each other is worse than missing."

Wei Yu choked suddenly.

Is this sentence appropriate to use here?

Compared with Li Tang, who likes to ignore Wei Yu, Ying Ti gives more face. Ying Ti, who plays the role of personal eunuch very conscientiously, helps the third prince put on the jade pendant and then combs his hair. , and then the respectful Hou stood aside.

"You will be the next Oscar." Li Tang applauded, "Come on!"

It should be mentioned: "..."

Wei Yu: "..."

"Sometimes the proverbs in Mr. Tang's hometown are really puzzling." Wei Yu said.

Li Tang: "It doesn't matter. If you read more, you will understand everything, especially foreign languages."

Ying Ti covered his mouth and laughed a bit.

Wei Yu seriously suspected that Li Tang had an enmity with the Wei Dynasty.

……

When Gaomen was inspected, the swords of the guards of the palace were put away, followed by a body search. Fortunately, the guards of the imperial city only roughly touched the whole body through the clothes, so Li Tang did not feel humiliated.

It is a matter of course that important occasions have tight security.

It is not difficult for Li Tang to hide a weapon. Judging from Yingti's calm and calm appearance, he knows that they also have their own unique methods to ensure that their martial arts can be brought out.

The carriage he was originally riding in was replaced by a soft sedan chair, and Li Tang had to stop after following the sedan chair for a while, and after that, he would be in the harem, and they, the palace guards, were not eligible to enter.

That's where Lunon, the maid, and Yingti, who is disguised as a eunuch, can only go.

Concubine Shu, the birth mother of the third prince, lived in Hanyuan Palace, and the royal family banquet was only held at night, so what Wei Yu had to do was to serve Concubine Shu in Hanyuan Palace first, and then the mother and son went to the banquet together.

But Li Tang and the guard Dou Cong were taken to the temporary resting place for the guards, and then they had nothing to do again.

Although the temporary place is not big, Li Tang feels that it is okay because he and Dou Cong are together, at least they can take care of each other. In such a majestic place in the palace, Li Tang will be able to stay alone.

Dou Cong: "Among the bodyguards brought by the prince who went to the banquet today, many of them are martial arts faces."

Although he is not from the Jianghu, he knows a lot about Jianghu. There are only a few masters in the martial arts, and there are even fewer who are suitable to pretend to be guards to mix in, so Dou Cong easily recognized them.

"It seems that something will definitely happen today." Li Tang said.

The New Year's Eve banquet is a royal family banquet. Since there are concubines and princesses, their guards are naturally not allowed to enter the venue, but it is okay to wait outside for the princes, so Li Tang and Dou Cong will rest here When the banquet is held at night, they will be on standby outside.

"Compared to us, Yingti is more tiring." Li Tang poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Do all the acting."

So today he has to be a personal eunuch for a day, serving his master on the saddle.

"Be careful..." Dou Cong said worriedly, "The situation is chaotic now, so we must pay more attention to meals and drinking water."

If possible, it is best to stop drinking and eating after entering the palace.

"Don't worry." Li Tang smiled, "I'm ready."

Li Tang: "Brother Dou, it may be inconvenient next time, can you please wait for me outside?"

Dou Cong: "Okay..."

Although he had some doubts, but thinking that His Highness had told him to obey Tang Chenxing's words in due course, Dou Cong obediently went out to help Li Tang give up Fenglai.

"Okay." After standing outside for a while, he heard Tang Chenxing speak.

Dou Cong hurried back into the room: "This is?"

So many pastries and snacks, where did Tang Chenxing come from?

"Let's eat first." Li Tang handed Zhonglengquan to Dou Cong and said, "The water and food were brought from outside the palace, there is no problem."

"Let's eat some more to pad our stomachs before the birthday banquet." The BUFF of the banquet does not exist for a long time, and eating it now is not only useless, but may waste small medicines, so Li Tang only took some low-level snacks.

And in his bag, there are enough cooking materials such as spring water.

Not long after they finished their meal, they saw a few waiters coming to deliver the meal. The dishes were so rich that people couldn't help admiring them.

"I'm sorry to bother you all." After distributing the reward silver, seeing them leave, Dou Cong immediately took out the hidden silver needle and tested the poison.

Li Tang said weakly: "I don't think this is very scientific."

Dou Cong: "Huh?"

Li Tang: "Nothing."

After trying a few dishes, Li Tang was a little surprised to see the color of the silver needle change. In the palace, using such a strong drug is really powerless to complain.

"A special potion has been quenched on the needle." Dou Cong looked at Cai Se in front of him seriously and said, "The poisons that the silver needle itself can test are limited, but after quenching the potion, it will react with most of the drugs and directly kill the silver needle. Discoloration."

Dou Cong: "Young Master Tang, I still have some silver needles here, do you need them?"

Li Tang: "Give me some." As he spoke, he took the silver needles and wrapped them in paper.

"I'll get rid of these things." Dou Cong said and put some dishes into the paper bags that had been prepared earlier. The presentation of the plates had been damaged, and now these dishes seemed to have been used obviously.

"Okay." Li Tang said, "I just want to take a rest."

He was coaxed up by Qi Cheng in the morning, and he didn't get enough sleep at all.

……

The Jianghu forces cooperating with Wei Yu are Yanji Pavilion and Momen. Li Tang is not clear about how to arrange in Qianji Pavilion, but here in Momen, Bai Shuangming, the deputy leader, is in charge of the temporary base in the suburbs of Beijing to prevent pig teammates from sending heads and The right way to engage in a sneak attack.

And Qi Cheng is in charge of waiting for night with the counselors of the palace and the ministers surrounded by the third prince in the palace, and then enter the imperial city together. Yu's side should be in charge of his own cronies and people from Qianji Pavilion.

Perhaps it was the paranoia of the emperor's family, and Wei Yu didn't like too many people in the Qianji Pavilion around him, so Li Tang, a non-staff member of the Demon Sect, squeezed the quota in the Qianji Pavilion and followed him into the palace.

When you have something in your mind, time passes more slowly.This applies to Dou Cong. He was in a state of being very nervous all afternoon but trying to calm himself down.

And no heart, no lungs, no worries.This obviously applies to Li Tang. Li Tang, who has no interest in such things as seizing the heir, is not very nervous.

Li Tang was woken up by Dou Cong. The guards who had been worried all afternoon were a little angry when they saw Li Tang's heartless appearance, but seeing Li Tang looking at him pitifully, Dou Cong didn't say anything else .

"It's almost time, let's go." Dou Cong said.

"Okay" After tidying up his clothes and blowing the wind outside for a while, Li Tang cheered up.

Red lanterns had already hung up in every corner of the palace, and the sound of firecrackers rang out. Seeing that the Xuanhe Hall, where the banquet was held, was approaching, Li Tang suddenly felt a little nervous.

This time, he may become a witness to history.

I don't know whether there will be a day when Ying's name will go out of the country above the official history and unofficial history.

******

Due to the emperor's stroke, the participants in the birthday banquet were only concubines and princes and daughters in the harem. The empress dowager of the harem Dashan sat at the family banquet with her sick body in place to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

This woman, who had fought with others for most of her life and finally sent her son to the supreme position, was plagued by illness before she had time to enjoy the blessings for a few years, and her health was getting worse day by day.

When the seasons changed, the empress dowager, who was already unwell, saw her son paralyzed by a stroke, so she could only support the sick body and abbot the overall situation, so that her mother's family could enjoy wealth and glory again in the future.

Although the emperor had a stroke, the royal family banquet should still be held, and it should still be lively. Li Tang, who was waiting outside, could only hear bursts of laughter from the Xuanhe Hall, as if it was a joyful family reunion .

It's a whitewash, but that's all.

First, the servants of the maidservant came in and out of the Xuanhe Hall with delicacies, and the sound of firecrackers and silk bamboo in the hall sounded. It seemed that the master and ladies had already started eating.

Then there was the necessary song and dance project for the banquet. The maids who performed the dance wore gorgeous dance clothes and entered the Xuanhe Hall. At this point, Li Tang and Dou Cong looked at each other and understood what would happen next.

On such an occasion, it would be a disservice to the audience not to say anything about the dancer's assassination, so after a shrill female voice screamed, the Hall of Proclamation and Harmony was in chaos.

And Li Tang and Dou Cong also took the opportunity to enter the hall.

To assassinate in the presence of so many people, one must either be a brave man with high skills, or a fast-moving killer. The dancer leading the dance is obviously the latter, and the target of the assassination with the dagger prepared long ago is the third prince Wei Yu.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, in the chaotic situation in the Xuanhe Hall, the escorting guards were either blocked by the scurrying eunuchs, or they were obviously paddling.

However, Wei Yu, who had anticipated that something would happen a long time ago, performed with ease. He did not let Ying Ti and Wu Nong take action immediately, but after dealing with the assassin for a few tricks, he immediately switched to the Queen Mother and said loudly: "Hurry up and protect the Queen Mother!" .” Saying that was a wave of hands.

Ying Ti, whose pseudonym was Ying Chun, immediately copied the vase and threw it at the dancing girl with excellent singing and writing skills.

The second wave of assassins fell from the sky at this time.

The hall suddenly became more lively.

"Your Highness..." Under the cover of Dou Cong, Li Tang successfully crossed the battlefield to Wei Yu's side, "I'll protect Your Highness right away."

While speaking, he swung the sword he picked up from the ground and used the Sanchai swordsmanship to block the attack of the man in black.

This was decided after he and Qi Cheng also discussed it unanimously. Since the thousand receivers are too special, once the thousand receivers are used on a crowded occasion, Li Tang will sell his teammates properly, so it is definitely the most appropriate way to enter the palace purely. .

What's more, in case someone shoots an arrow or something, his Zhenshanhe is much more reliable than the Yinzhen of the Ghost Gate. Although they are all invincible, there is still a difference between those with shields and those without shields.

After the Sanchai swordsmanship automatically blocked the assassin's attack, Li Tang slowly used the four elephants to accumulate beans, and then handed over to Liangyi to take the lead to deal with the man in black who seemed to be the leader. At the same time, Ying Ti also dodged left and right Successfully smashed the dancer to death.

After all, there were too many people, and although there were a lot of small tricks, there were still not many people who dared to blatantly cooperate with the assassination of the prince at this moment. Therefore, under the protection of the thick fog, Wei Yu took advantage of the queen mother without any danger.

On the other hand, Wei Yu was protecting Wei Yu, who was actually holding his grandmother hostage, a sneer suddenly emerged from the corner of his mouth.

In the imperial palace, apart from his grandmother, the only one who has the ability to do this is the father who is lying on the dragon floor.

Under the close protection of Wu Nong, Li Tang and Dou Cong naturally have no worries, so it didn't take long for the two of them to deal with most of the assassins, and the other assassins were also dealt with by the Imperial Guard who couldn't play anymore. , or forced back.

So far, the Xuanhe Palace family banquet has come to an end.

"Thank you, Yu'er." The Queen Mother covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Are you not injured?"

"Please rest assured, grandma." Wei Yu said, "Under the protection of my ancestors, my grandmother and my father, Yu'er is fine."

But he was fine, but the queen mother seemed not very well.

Although it was arranged by myself, the chaos made the queen mother a little frightened, and she almost fell ill.

"Yu'er, you two guards have chosen well." The queen mother said insincerely, "You deserve a reward for your meritorious service."

"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness." Li Tang and Dou Cong immediately knelt down and thanked each other.

I just felt that the eyes of the Queen Mother, who were extremely obstructive, had a flash of murderous intent. Those who are in the way, damn it!

only……

You can't die now.

"It's not good..." Just before the queen mother had time to say anything, the eunuch Qi De beside the emperor ran into the Xuanhe hall in a panic, "Your Majesty was assassinated."

The queen mother only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and after a mouthful of blood spurted out, she immediately fell to the ground.

"Hurry up and ask for the imperial doctor." Wei Yu helped the queen mother and said, "Mother and concubine, take care of the queen mother first, and we will go to see the father right now."

"Okay..." Concubine Shu said calmly against the resentful eyes of the concubines, "Leave this to the concubine mother."

The empress died early, and no successor was established. Among the high-ranking concubines, only Concubine Shu is the most qualified to preside over the overall situation.

As for the former harem No. 1, the eldest prince's birth mother, concubine Chen, how could she have the guts to fight against concubine Shu after the death of the eldest prince.

Obviously it is the most honorable title, but in history, all those who were concubine Chen were honored and favored in the past and had a miserable life in the end, and the birth mother of the eldest prince was no exception.

After discovering that the target of the assassin was not him, most of the other princes held the idea of ​​watching a play or protecting their mother and sisters, while the only few who wanted to escort the queen mother were ignored by Wei Yu Blocked and squeezed to the side, Wei Yu, who pulled another wave of hatred, went straight to the Dragon Sleeper under the dissatisfied eyes of all the brothers.

"Li Tang, Dou Cong..." Wei Yu said, "You also come with me."

Now that the appetizers are gone, it's time for a feast.

……

"The emperor's star is dim..." Mei Lanzhu looked at the sky and said, "But if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come." That's fine, anyway, he doesn't have much friendship with the old emperor.

Due to the unhealed injury, the national teacher perfectly avoided the storm of taking the heirloom, and even the entire Qin Tianjian was safe and sound under his protection.

This time...

He will still be a winner.

"The Nine-Five Supreme." Mei Lanzhu laughed, "So what if it's the Nine-Five Supreme."

Who can really do everything well.

Not getting what you ask for is not just an annoyance for ordinary people.
