I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Because of the noisy voices of the crowd, the initial screams did not attract attention, and then the screams continued, and everyone heard the content of the shouting clearly.

Killed?There are assassins?

Run quickly ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

The crowd became chaotic, and everyone instinctively ran back, but at this time, a dozen or so people behind the crowd suddenly took out a gleaming white sword.They slashed at the civilians beside them, blood dripping immediately, fifteen or sixteen civilians fell to the ground, twitched twice and then stopped moving.Who dares to step forward in this scene?The people screamed in fright, and turned their heads to run elsewhere.

Crackling!Crackling...

Suddenly there were several explosions from the crowd, and the people who were already in a panic ran away in fright.They began to panic, no matter what direction, as long as it was not the direction of the assassin.Run away and stay away from this place of right and wrong!

The imperial guards and military patrols along the river wanted to go and check when they heard the commotion, but because there were too many people bumping into them like headless chickens, they blocked their way, and by the time they arrived, they had passed For a long time, those murderers who wielded knives and killed people had already hidden among the fleeing people again.

Seeing more than a dozen bloody corpses on the ground, the imperial guards immediately realized the importance of the emperor's safety.The emperor was far away on the other side of the Jinming Pool, and it was so dark today, separated by a large area of ​​pool water, that the riots happening here could not be noticed at all.

The guards hurried along the river to the other bank to report and protect the emperor.Only a small number of people are left to track down the assassins, guard the scene, and dispose of the corpses.

The remaining guards looked at the wounded people on the ground and they were lying still. Considering that they had been delayed for a while, they regretted that they should all be dead.

Some of the guards went to get cars to transport the corpses, while the other guarded the place.One of the guards noticed that the man lying on the ground seemed to be breathing, but there was a lot of blood on his neck.Because it is winter, everyone is wearing thick clothes, so it is not easy to see the wound.The guard thought that the man might still be alive, so he looked at the wound first, but when he took off the torn clothes on the man's neck, he found that there was no wound at all on the blood-stained skin, and there was something similar to sheep intestines between the neck and the clothes. General broken skin.

The guard suddenly realized what was going on, and was about to cry out in shock, when he saw the person lying on the ground in feigning death suddenly open his eyes with a fierce look in his eyes.The man raised his hand to reveal the sharp knife tied in his sleeve, and stabbed fiercely at the guard's neck.The guards couldn't react at all, so they could only helplessly——

Boom!

The guard didn't feel the expected pain, but heard the person in front of him scream in pain.

He came back to his senses in a daze, and saw a graceful woman in a green dress stepping on the arm of the fake dead man, whose face was distorted in pain.It shouldn't be as simple as just stepping on his arm, it looks like the bones in his arm have been broken.

At this moment, the other people who pretended to be dead also got up, but the surprise attack failed, and they could only fight with the guards who stayed behind.

Wang Siniang carried her big sword to end the battle, and Ping'er also drew out her sword, but in a short while, all these assassins were dealt with.

Fake death sounds east and west, this trick is really familiar, could it be that Zhao Zongqing is deliberately imitating the tricks they used to get revenge?

There are tens of thousands of rebels, it is impossible for Tianji Pavilion to spend all their time cultivating all of them into loyal soldiers.Cui Tao pressed the question with a silver needle, and as expected, under the torture of itching and pain, the assassins confessed honestly.It's just that Cui Tao couldn't understand what they said.The guard told Cui Tao that these people were speaking Jurchen words.Cui Tao sent someone to find Di Tan as an interpreter.

Wang Siniang picked up the bamboo pole, and a lantern was tied to the top of the bamboo pole, raised it high and swayed in the air.

At this time, cheers came from the other side of Jinming Pool. Although the cheers sounded far away, it was enough to make people feel the excitement there.The giant sky lantern three feet high slowly rose into the sky, illuminating the water surface of Jinming Pond almost instantly, and the ministers blessed the emperor in unison.Everyone was attracted by the huge sky lantern and looked up. Few people noticed the swaying lights on the other side of the river at this time, and no one noticed what happened to the dark water surface after the sky lantern lifted off. movement.

Han Qi sat in a wheelchair and was ranked behind the officials. After noticing the light on the other side of the river, his eyes gradually became dark, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

"This sky lantern is really spectacular, and I think Cui Qiniang will also like it. It's a pity that she is not married to you, so she can't come here to enjoy the lantern up close as your family member." Seeing that Han Qi was not in a good mood, Zhao Zongqing walked over with a smile .

Han Qi heard that there was something wrong with his words, and he was just secretly saying that his "pity" at this time may become a lifetime regret.

"She must be having a good time at the moment, but I am pitiful and miss her all the time." After Han Qi finished speaking, he coughed a few times.

Zhao Zongqing raised his eyebrows, "Isn't your body feeling better yet? I see that your energy is getting weaker and your health has decreased a lot. It seems that Doctor Xu's prescription is not very good."

"It's not bad to be alive. The poison enters the viscera and it's not easy to get rid of. If you drink the bitter medicine, you won't have the appetite to eat." After Han Qi finished speaking, he coughed twice.

"troubled you."

Zhao Zongqing looked at the huge sky lantern that had risen very high with his hands behind his back, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Happy?" Han Qi asked him.

Zhao Zongqing laughed, "It's such a festive festival, with beautiful scenery and grand occasions, so I'm naturally happy. Are you unhappy?"

Han Qi laughed, lowered his eyes, and did not answer.

Zhao Zongqing glanced at him again, even though he was thinner and less energetic than before, his facial features were still handsome, and he looked like a sickly beauty, which made people feel the urge to pity him even more.He couldn't be the only one who thinks so, look at those female relatives, whether they are married or waiting to be married, they all glance at Han Qi intentionally or unintentionally.

It's a pity that such handsome and talented people cannot be used for themselves, but can only be destroyed.

After Han Zong found Han Qi, he took a look at him, but he didn't see Cui Tao, so he asked Han Qi, "You came by yourself?"

Han Qi glanced back at Han Zong coldly.

Zhao Zongqing felt the smell of gunpowder between the two of them, and smiled and asked them to talk first, he still had something to do.

Han Zong approached Han Qi and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

"Ah."

Just at this time, Lin Shangshu walked over with a smile.

Han Zong said to Han Qi in a moderate voice: "If you fail, I can take care of her for you."

Outsiders sounded like Han Zong was jealous and was laughing at Han Qi's poor health.As far as Han Qi heard, Han Zong was saying that if he failed this time, he would take care of Cui Tao for him.

"If I couldn't do it, she wouldn't have chosen me," Han Qi said.

Han Zong felt that his heart had been stabbed in an instant. The damned Han Qi was reminding him that Cui Tao had always chosen him, so it was impossible to mock him instead!He was so angry that he couldn't say anything.

"Oh no!"

At the relatively quiet west end of the north bank of Jinming Lake, several boats suddenly sailed in. They were all dressed in imperial army uniforms, and they all bowed their heads in a humble manner. Only the leading guard was shouting.But because of the noisy scene, the emperor was admiring the lantern dance, so he couldn't hear what happened here.But the guards of the forbidden army guarding the shore were naturally aware of the situation on the river.They immediately raised their vigilance, drew their knives to question who it was, and sent another person to notify the deputy commander to inform him that there was an abnormal situation here.

When the boat docked, the guards could see that they were all wearing forbidden military uniforms like themselves. They knew that they should be their own people, but as usual, they had to ask about the situation and what was going on. No one had told them before that there would be a boat sailing from the other side. Come.

The 'guard' who disembarked saw the deputy commander, Ji Feng, and immediately reported anxiously: "There are rebels on the other side who are massacring civilians! The officials are in danger!"

Ji Feng immediately turned around to report to the commander and the emperor, when he suddenly realized something, he turned around and looked at the guards of the Imperial Guard who had reported the letter just now.

"No, who are you? Shouldn't Li Quanming be in charge on the other side of the river? What about others?"

Before Ji Feng could finish his sentence, a dagger was pressed against his neck.

"The knife wound is very poisonous. If you see blood sealing your throat, you must be obedient if you want to survive." The fake guard leaned close to Ji Feng and warned in a low voice.

Not long after, someone came to deliver a message to Ji Feng, and Li Mingquan rushed over to report that there were rebels on the other side.The commander in front of the palace has ordered the guards of the Imperial Army to guard strictly to ensure the safety of the officials.

"Okay, got it, you go down first."

After Ji Feng sent the people away, he was coerced to go to the checkpoint and ordered to let the [-] soldiers who came to 'support' go.When Ji Feng was hesitant, the fake guard showed him the things in his hand, which were the personal items of his wife and children, and the hairpin of the old lady at home!

"Your wife and children are all in our hands. If the deputy commander doesn't want to see his three-year-old son suffer from skin and flesh, and his mother, wife and daughter become playthings of hooligans, he should be obedient."

Monsoon glared at him angrily.

"We coerced you into this matter, and it was not your will. If the matter fails, you will not be reduced to the end of being beheaded. If the matter succeeds, you will benefit from it. Which way to choose, think clearly." The assassin leader said. Forget it, he pressed the dagger further to Ji Feng's waist, so others couldn't see it from this angle.

"If I don't answer, will you people also call in?"

"It's natural, but it will be easier if the commander helps a little. Don't think that we only have these troops, there are still in Jinmingchi."

Ji Feng was shocked, he didn't expect these people to be so ruthless, and ambushed in cold water in winter.

The imperial guards guarding the checkpoint saw so many soldiers coming suddenly, even though they said they would support them with legitimate reasons, the guards still didn't dare to let them in without authorization.When they saw Deputy Commander Ji present, they rushed to inquire.

Ji Feng took a breath slowly, and finally nodded to let them go.

Not long after that, the guards guarding the checkpoint heard many chaotic footsteps rushing this way, and saw many people running over in a panic, shouting for help, saying that someone was killing someone behind.Upon seeing this, the guards immediately pulled out a human wall and defended with knives to maintain order.

Naturally, the people did not dare to rush in, begging the imperial guards to die.

"Go to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the officials! Find someone from the Military Patrol Shop!"

"We think about it too!" The common people said that they didn't see any people from the military patrol shop while running all the way, and there was a group of assassins on the road leading to Shuntian Gate, and they couldn't go back to the city to ask for help in Kaifeng Mansion.

The guards still couldn't make the decision and stayed where they were. As for what to do next, they had to ask the deputy commander what he meant.However, before he went to inquire, he saw a bodyguard running over in a hurry and told them to send out half of them to go inside for support.

Jinming Pond has a heavy hall, Yuyu, and Xiongloujie Pavilion. At this time, the emperor finished the sky lantern viewing and was turning into the hall to give a banquet to the officials. Three thousand soldiers and assassins disguised as the imperial army surrounded the entire hall at this time. up.

The sound of fighting and shouting came from outside, and the guards in the palace hurriedly protected Zhao Zhen heavily.

These people are masters who personally protect the emperor, and they can fight three with one.But suddenly there are so many people around, it's still not enough to rely on them twenty or thirty masters.

Soon, several assassins dressed as imperial guards rushed in.

"Bold! What do you want to do!" The servant Cheng angrily scolded these daring assassins, ordering them to disarm and surrender. The emperor can still treat them leniently and leave them with a whole body.

Lu Yijian and several other ministers also echoed, scolding these assassins to stop as soon as possible.

puff!

In such a tense atmosphere, someone actually laughed.

The laughter was so abrupt that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone looked at Lin Shangshu.

Lin Shangshu was a little embarrassed when he was looked at by everyone, but then he seemed to realize that he didn't have to do this at all, so he raised his head.He is about to laugh, and he has to laugh a few more times, what's wrong?

"What's the meaning of Lin Shangshu's smile?" A gentle question, the volume is not high-pitched, but it is a very bold behavior in this situation.

All eyes turned to Han Qi.

Lin Shangshu didn't want to say anything yet, but when he saw Han Qi, he couldn't help but think of his poor third son who died tragically under the guillotine of Kaifeng Mansion, and suddenly a surge of anger surged in his heart, and he stared at Han Qi with all kinds of hatred.

"I'm laughing..." Lin Shangshu glanced at Lu Yijian and the others, "You have read a lot of poetry and books, you are usually smart, and you can talk eloquently, but you have no brains at this time! They have worked so hard to break into Come on, how can you catch him without a fight?"

"Lin Shangshu, how can you speak for those assassins!" Lu Yijian was dissatisfied with training him.

Lin Shangshu couldn't help thinking of how many proposals he had made in the court these years were rejected by Lu Yijian, because he was oppressed by him everywhere because of his official position.A few times, Lu Yijian even ridiculed him for being brainless!Today I want Lu Yijian to see who is more powerful and better at bullying!

"Because I'm with them!" Lin Shangshu laughed wildly, his eyes full of complacency.Finally, he made it to the day when he could feel proud.
