sword in the air

Chapter 40 Trap

Empress Chen has been pregnant for eight months. In her womb is the first child of Emperor Zhou Sheng in 40 years. Whether it is a prince or a princess, it is a happy event. The Ministry of Rites has written documents. It is necessary to pardon the world.

This is a critical moment, not to mention the harem, the entire imperial court and even the vassal kings who are not in the capital are all staring at Empress Chen's belly. Whether it is a man or a woman is related to the fate of the country.

Empress Chen is famous for her gentleness and generosity. She was supposed to be honest and raise her baby in the harem, but she suddenly became suspicious and always complained to Emperor Yong Le that someone wanted to kill her.She often woke up in the middle of the night, saying that the concubine in the harem wanted to poison her fetus to death.The imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat, saying that Empress Chen had a suspicious heart disease, and she needed heart medicine to treat her heart disease, and they couldn't help it.

Later, I don't know who said it, and invited Empress Chen to stay in the Huaqing Palace.The Huaqing Palace is nearly two hundred miles away from Kyoto, which is not too far away, and it is also a royal garden, which is really suitable for raising babies.

When Empress Chen left, she picked Pan Qing, the grandson of Pan Yugui from Dongchang, and Emperor Yongle sent Wen Xingyuan, the imperial army, to follow, and the Huaqing Palace became the second Forbidden City.

Empress Chen's temperament changed drastically after she moved in. For a while, she said that she wanted to eat vinegar fish from West Lake, and in a while, she wanted to eat spicy peppers from Sichuan and Sichuan. Come to sing Huangmei Opera.

These things all fell on Gu Tianqing, he is a majestic admiral of the East Factory outside, he will kill whoever he wants, but in front of the royal family, he is a dog who guards the house, even if the royal family asks him to die He had to die.

With this ambition in mind, he will be a slave to the Gu family for the first half of his life, and a slave to the royal family for the rest of his life. He thought to himself that if he is destined to be a slave in this life, he will be the most honorable dog in the world until Queen Chen is born. Long Zi, when the time comes, Long's heart will be happy. Maybe he will be able to hear someone call him "Factory Master". He would like to hear such a call even in his dreams.

Two women in Leshou Palace are singing Huangmei Opera, which is a piece of "The Story of Luo Pa". The two people are trembling. They are just street performers. What I have learned all my life, that singing method is still not popular in the eyes of Empress Chen.

The two actors were afraid of offending the empress, so they fell on the ground and kept silent after singing. They heard that the royal family was ruthless, and if they found a pretext to kill them, their lives would be worthless.

The actor looked behind the beaded curtain, but from her perspective, she couldn't see Empress Chen's expression clearly, she could only see a rough outline, and with a quick glance, she knew that there was a beautiful woman inside.Empress Chen was lying on her side on the bed, her eyes closed as if she was still immersed in the opera, she didn't say a good word, let alone a bad word, a tall maid beside her was shaking a fan for her.Empress Chen is now pregnant with Liujia, and it is the most uncomfortable time when she is restless.

After a while, Empress Chen said: "Pan Qing."

Gu Tianqing had been waiting for orders, and said, "The servant is here."

"Singing is very good, it should be rewarded." Empress Chen said again.

A stone fell from the hearts of the two opera singers. Empress Chen's voice sounded very gentle. It seemed that she was lucky. She didn't meet any domineering concubines. No wonder she was the mother of a country.

Gu Tianqing sent someone to take the reward money, and was about to offer a reward, when Empress Chen yawned lightly, and said: "I'm tired, you should retire first."

Gu Tianqing bowed his head in response, and led the two actors slowly out of Leshou Palace. After everyone in the hall had left, Empress Chen's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

The actor won a hundred silver rewards. He guessed that he had never made so much money in his entire life. Once he stepped on shit luck, he could brag to others when he went out. We sang a little song for the empress, but we were worried that no one would come to listen to it. play?

The two opera singers left happily, Gu Tianqing didn't need to see them off personally, he stood outside the Leshou Palace watching their backs, and suddenly said: "I'll kill them when they leave the palace."

Standing next to him was Gu Tianqing's confidant Wei Ruhai, and said: "This... the empress said reward."

"It's a reward." Gu Tianqing said.

Wei Ruhai glanced at Gu Tianqing, feeling a little creepy, did Gu Tianqing actually want to resist the edict?This Huaqing Palace is full of Gu Tianqing's people inside and outside, no one can stop him from killing anyone, he thinks again, where does Gu Tianqing have the courage to disobey Queen Chen's order?

"I'm also thinking about my mother's safety, it's easy for outsiders to come in and out." Gu Tianqing said with her sleeves rolled up.

Wei Ruhai understood what Gu Tianqing meant. He had been with Gu Tianqing for a long time, and he knew that Gu Tianqing was a cautious person, to the point of being too cautious. He heard that he was afraid of a quack named Gu Yi. Haven't had a good night's sleep.

However, Gu Yi is a man, so he can't pretend to be an actor. Gu Tianqing would rather kill two actors by mistake than let Gu Yi go.

·

At night, a big round moon hangs in the sky, even anyone who wants to do something in the dark can see it clearly.

Today is not a good day for murder.

Gu Tianqing was not accurate in his actions. If Empress Chen didn't order him, he was a free body. He was staying in a side courtyard next to the Leshou Palace for servants. He lived close to the Empress and he could help out if anything happened.

No matter where Gu Tianqing went, he was accompanied by five dead men, and there was no shortage of people who would send him to his death. This time, it was even more exaggerated. He traveled alone, and even followed a dozen eunuchs, all of whom were experts from the Eastern Factory sent by Pan Yugui. I was afraid that my son would be wronged.

Today, Gu Tianqing was about to walk to the courtyard, and he passed a long and narrow corridor, the walls on both sides were already mottled, and the lantern cast the shadow of a figure in a tall hat on the wall, the shadow was so thick that it seemed to flow when the wind blew.

Wei Ruhai stared closely at the wall. He had known for a long time that there would be assassins in the next few days. He blinked and thought he was dazzled. Eight shadows?

"Stop." Wei Ruhai said.

The people behind stopped suddenly, before Wei Ruhai turned his head, he heard the sound of a knife being drawn, followed by the sound of the blade cutting his throat, Wei Ruhai was familiar with this sound after following Gu Tianqing for so long, and shouted: "Who? "Pan Ruhai stared at the wall, his eyes widened, and he saw the body of a guard at the end had fallen down.

It's almost like a ghost walking through the team, ready to take people's lives anytime and anywhere.

There was a smell of blood in the air, and he immediately understood that it was meaningless to dwell on who it was. He pushed Gu Tianqing beside him, and said, "Admiral, go quickly."

His voice was very low. There was only one wall away from the Leshou Palace where the empress was. This turned into a very strange battle. The assassins would definitely not make a sound when they came to kill, and none of them shouted "there is an assassin" , if empress Chen is disturbed, no one can afford the consequences.They have all been trained, even if they die here today, they will try not to make a sound, as if they are being choked to resist the enemy.

Wei Ruhai turned his head and saw a person. He was not masked, so he could see his face clearly. He came by moonlight, holding a short knife in his hand. Fuguilou's dagger.

Now this knife killed a Dongchang guard neatly. Gu Yi stepped on the wall and stood up. His body turned a corner in the air, and the short knife in his hand collided with the weapon and made a ding-dong sound.

When Wei Ruhai turned his head, he saw that Gu Yi had killed two people. The blood splashed on his face, like a string of red ink thrown by someone with a brush, making his eyes look evil. Cold, in fact, Wei Ruhai has never seen such a person, there is warmth when killing people, as if... enjoying this thing very much.

Gu Yi dodged sideways, lifted and released the short knife in his hand, and stabbed it into the chest of a Dongchang guard with a puff.If Xu Yunqian had been there, he would have been surprised. The kung fu used by Gu Yi was different from any of the ones in Zhengxuan Mountain, and also different from any of the ones Xu Yunqian had seen in Wenyuan Pavilion in Gushan.Wang Sheng's Confucian disciples did not obliterate Gu Yi's nature, but instead helped him to use the Gu family knife to the extreme.

At that time, Gu Tianqing used the Zhaoyue knife as a bait to kill Gu Yi. Unexpectedly, this knife has now become Gu Yi's weapon. The Gu family's knife skills paired with Zhaoyue are almost invincible.

Pan Ruhai wanted to raise the knife to block it, but it was too late. As soon as he made a move, Gu Yi slashed with the knife, and there was only a cracking sound, and the knife in Pan Ruhai's hand broke into two pieces.

Pan Ruhai's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it when Gu Yi's knife pierced his chest. It was too fast, and he actually didn't see Gu Yi's movements clearly. The next moment, Gu Yi's face was close in front of him, "Gu Tianqing Where?"

Pan Ruhai took two steps back, and raised his finger at the last moment of his life. Gu Yi followed his gaze, then shook his head. Pan Ruhai pointed at the fake "Gu Tianqing", who had already been stabbed in the chest and was leaning against the corner trembling.

Gu Yi withdrew his knife, thinking that Gu Tianqing didn't even believe Pan Ruhai, who had been with him for three years, and found someone to disguise himself.

You bastard, as long as he refuses to show up, Gu Yi will not find his whereabouts even if he searches through the Huaqing Palace.

There were corpses strewn about in the corridor, they worked their lives for Gu Tianqing for no reason, and then died at the hands of Gu Yi for no reason.Where is Gu Tianqing? The alley stretches out for a long time. He thought that Gu Tianqing would not really wait for him obediently at the residence, would he?

As soon as he lifted his foot and wanted to take a step forward, he suddenly paused and touched his neck, there was a bloodstain there, he squinted his eyes, only saw a thin line in front of him, if it wasn't for today's moon The color is good enough to be invisible at all, and it is now glowing blue, with a small string of blood beads on it, which is Gu Yi's blood.

Fortunately, Gu Yi retreated in time, otherwise this invisible thread could cut off his head.

As soon as Gu Yi looked up, he saw a man standing at the end of the corridor. He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a eunuch uniform, a white tall hat with pointed horns, and two white belts hanging from his temples, which read Incomprehensible red runes.The man stretched his right hand upwards, and the thin line in front of Gu Yi's eyes seemed to have a spirit, and suddenly changed in the air, like the sharpest sword coming towards Gu Yi.

He subconsciously stepped back, his calf felt a tingling pain, a silk thread cut into his calf, blood overflowed on the spot, and the front and rear roads were blocked.

It's a trap, Gu Yi sneered, of course it's a trap.

The author has something to say: Junior brother is going to make trouble on his own. I hope you don’t subconsciously think of asking senior brother to save him when he is in danger. Junior brother can do it by himself. He didn’t tell the school belle “save him” except on the bed. I" these three words~
