414 Siege

No one was sleepy at all in the royal palace. Xie Lang and Qi Song and his son returned to the courtyard. Although they had no discussion, they were also waiting for the news. Xie Wan and Yu's Hong Lianzhu stayed in Zhengyu Hall and ate tea around the incense burner. Brother Ping and Yin Xu have fallen asleep. Although the children are young, they are also vaguely aware of the abnormal atmosphere, so they are very good today and have been following Xia Ning's second wife.

"Don't drink so much tea. Let's rest early. The good news for us to wait for the prince is." Yu got up to see the children and came back. Wen Sheng said to Xie Wan.

Xie Wan looked at the leak on the table and nodded: "It's useless to wait like this. Go back to your room and sleep."

The children slept with the two concubines. Yu and Qi Song, Xie Lang and Hong Lianzhu all had their own residences. The three of them went out together and separated under the porch.

Xie Wan just arrived at the main room. Xia Zhi came over and gave her a robe. Sun Shiqian suddenly came over: "Princess, someone came with the sign of the Duke of Lu and said that Princess Chiyang asked the princess to talk."

Hearing the words of Princess Chiyang, Xie Wan suddenly turned around and turned out from behind the screen, "Yin Zhao? Why did she invite me at this time?

Yin Zhao's child is always measured. At this time, the soldiers are in chaos. If there is no big deal, she is unlikely to let her go out and get involved in danger. And at this time, what will be the big deal?

"Where are the people?" She asked.

"Outside." Sun Shiqian pointed his finger.

Xie Wan thought for a moment and said, "Bred it in."

Sun Shiqian quickly brought the person here. He is a domesticer in his thirties. Xie Wan sat in the main seat, looked at him twice, and said, "It's so late, why does the princess invite me?"

Come to the person: "Something happened to Her Royal Highness's hospital. Someone died and blamed the princess. So he carried the body to the hospital. It was inconvenient for the princess to show up, so she came to ask the little princess to come to discuss. Let's see how this matter can be solved?"

Yin Zhao's medical school did not disclose her identity, but has always been the shopkeeper's shop. Now Hu Qin is still there. There is a curfew in the city tonight. Xie Wan asked someone to send a message to Hu Qin so that he doesn't have to rush back. He can spend the night in the hospital. Now it's good, and he can't verify the truth for a while.

Looking up at the door, Sun Shiqian just raised his eyebrows. He rarely had such an expression. Xie Wan suddenly moved and said, "You go down first, and I'm ready to come out again."

The man had to get up and retreat.

Sun Shiqian walked in and said, "Today is different from the past, the princess has to think twice."

Xie Wan hummed softly, "I also think this man is suspicious, but I can't say anything. When you say so, I've made up my mind."

She called Xing Zhu and whispered for a moment. Then he went into the inner room.

A moment later, a woman in silver fox skin came out with a hat on her head, and the man who was waiting in the hall saw the situation. Bow immediately. .

Xia Zhi said, "The front leads the way."

The man nodded and answered. He looked up at the looming face in the mantle, and turned the corners of his lips slightly and went out of the door.

Get on the sedan chair and out of the corner door, escorting all the way to the street.

There were still patrols everywhere on the street. Seeing the honor guard of King Amman's Mansion, everyone consciously avoided giving way. After passing Xuanwu Street, the servant of the Duke of Lu, who led the way, stretched out his hand and pointed to his left: "Go closer to this alley." The guard of honor moved forward according to his words and soon entered the alley. There are also patrols in the alley, and there are as many sentries as on the street. But because of the shadow of the trees, the light is far less bright than on the street.

Several people lurking silently among the treetops in the middle. After watching the sedan chair approach, they wink at each other. Then he held the sword in his hand and stabbed the sedan chair in the middle of the team like a shadow. At the same time, seven or eight people jumped down from the opposite street. People and horses on both sides surrounded the sedan chair from all directions, and all the long swords in their hands stabbed at the sedan chair!

Because of the simple light car, the lineup of Princess Anmu's trip this time is far less than usual, but the guards have not become less. Even the sedan chair is just a family sedan chair. More than a dozen swords are inserted from the top of the head, and all the retreats have been blocked! Not only could the people inside not get out, but the guards on all sides had no time to return, so after an instant, the whole sedan chair immediately became a sword target!

"Give it to me!"

Just when the sentries on both sides thought that the assassination under their eyes was so seamless, the leader of the escort, Zhong Wandered under the order, and then the remaining 20 guards who were "stunned" had surrounded them in an orderly manner with lightning speed!

More than a dozen assassins were stunned in turn. Looking at the guards who surrounded them, they seemed to understand something in an instant, and quickly turned around and began to respond to the enemy!

"All that can be caught alive! Kill all the people who can't be caught alive!"

Zhong Yu decisively ordered, and for a moment, the sound of fighting sounded at a sky-high price.

Holding the white fox skin, who was pierced through more than a dozen or twenty holes, Xing Zhu, who came down from the sedan chair and stuffed things into the hand of the sentry and said, "The princess has an assassin who can't escape. Why don't you ask someone to reinforce it?" If you wait for someone to run away, you are the only one to ask!" After saying that, he took the big knife in his hand and joined the field.

How dare soldiers neglect? Holding the big man, he walked desperately all the way and shouted, "The princess has an order, please ask General Huo to reinforce Feiyan Hutong! The princess has an order..."

Dou Xun, who was only a lane away from Feiyan Hutong, heard this cry and his heart sank. "At this time, she should have died. Why did she order? Is there something wrong?"

After enduring for a long time, Lao Jiu, who followed him, finally said, "This is not the first time. Xie Wan must have been on guard for a long time."

At first, he didn't understand why Mr. Qi chose to do the old trick again. Now when he saw the dense sentry sentry, he suddenly understood that there was no better way than this. Mr. Qi may not know that this was throwing himself into the net, but since they are all dead, it is natural to choose to die more vigorously!

"Go and have a look. How's it going?"

Dou Xun held the trunk of the tree, coughed and gasped, and ordered coldly.

The old eight around him ran out.

Xie Wan was already prepared. The escort of the trip specially selected a group of capable generals in the usual government soldiers, plus a few dark guards, and dealt with 15 people with a lineup of 36 people. Obviously, it would not be too difficult.

Soon, someone fell down, and then two or three more. Zhong Yu said, "Suppoint four people and tie these people to the tower!" The princess has an order not to kill. If you catch one, tie one until you catch the last one!"

Before several injured people who fell to the ground could stand up, they were immediately gagged and set up on the street.

The East City Gate is not far from here, and soon these people will be lined up.

Yin Yu was also here at this time. Hearing that the sedan chair of the royal palace was assassinated, it was inevitable to be in a hurry. After Huo Shicong, who rushed over quickly, explained the situation, he paused a little and immediately said, "Mr. Seven must be near there!" Let's go, we'll be right there!"

In the quiet empty alley, only Dou Xun couldn't help coughing. His illness could not be stained with wine or cold. As soon as the cold wind blew, his whole body collapsed halfway. And the sound of the blade from the distance is like the background rhythm of this cold night, rapid and sharp.

"Sir, all the people we sent out--"

"All of them can't escape, can they?" Dou Xun raised his head and looked carefully. His lips were a little red, as if stained with blood. He gritted his teeth and spit at them, and his face was ferocious in an instant: "I won't admit defeat, I won't admit defeat!"

At this time, he has nothing to be afraid of! Whether they move or are ready, his end has been decided, and his grave will definitely be this blocked capital city! Outside the door, there is the voice of Yin Yu's soldiers. Every time he goes to a place, he can hear everyone's excited voice about the news that the court has offered him a heavy reward. As long as he is caught, he will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of red gold regardless of life or death!

How many years does it take for an ordinary businessman to earn 3,000 taels of gold? How many lifetimes does it take for a small commoner to save so much money? How many 3,000 golds will be lost if rich officials take him in? There is no place in the world that is his shelter, and there is no place for him to stay another night like this!

At this point, why didn't he let him show his strength for the last time?

Out of the alley, Lao Ba Laojiu was not in the shadow. He looked at the torch moving in the distance and said, "We still buried a bag of gunpowder under the camphor tree in the backyard of Donghua Temple. Lao Ba, go and get it!"

Lao Ba Laojiu came out with a look of surprise on his face. He stared at them, suppressed the flip in his chest, took out the stack of silver tickets from his arms, stuffed them into their arms, and said in an aggravated tone, "Go and get it for me!" I won't be able to hold on for a long time. At most, I will be found by them in half an hour. Get it here quickly and give it to me! I'm going to drag a few more people to bury me, so that I won't eat too much!"

"Go!" He pushed him and then fell to the ground.

Donghua Temple is not far away. It's only three streets away. Lao Jiu took the last two drugs for him. He closed his eyes and waited for it to overwhelm coughing. Lao Ba came back with a big brown paper bag. Dou Xun took it over and said, "Why did you run into the water?" He touched something wet somewhere.'s it's wet. Lao Ba shrank his arm and said, "No, no."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his body and fell down.

"Old Eight! Old Eight! ...Mr.!" Lao Jiu, who squatted down and looked at it, exclaimed and raised his head: "Lao Ba got a sting on the chest!"

Dou Xun suffocated for a moment. He bent down tremblingly. Under the faint light, a large amount of water light appeared on the body of Lao Ba lying flat on the ground. When he touched it, he was wet to his knees, with a fishy and hot smell, which was blood.

"Let's go to the tower!"

He stood up against the wall. Go and catch someone, and then take me to the city tower!" To be continued) R580
