Chapter 54 Midnight Bell

In another corner of the capital of the Song Dynasty, the inner study of Taishi Cai Jing. Several people are sitting in silence with gloomy faces.

Sitting in the main seat is an old man with a slightly bloated body, as if he is closing his eyes to nourish his mind. He is the owner of this room, Cai Jing.

Next to Cai Jing, it was the great eunuch Liang Shicheng. As Song Qing thought, he was not a generous person. Although he could not immediately revenge on Song Qing due to the order of the old emperor, he never thought about how to let Song Qing's head fall to the ground to vent his hatred.

A middle-aged man with a sharp-billed monkey cheek and a pale face under Liang Shicheng was actually dressed as an eunuch. He is Li Yan, the number one lackey under Liang Shicheng.

The last one is Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng's god-son.

It is not difficult to see from the serious expressions of the four people that they are discussing a very serious matter.

It's really surprising that these people can sit together. Cai Jing is a member of King Kang, which everyone knows, but Liang Shicheng is very close to the prince. It seems that these people can't get together.

It has been dull for a while. Liang Shicheng finally couldn't calm down and glanced at Cai Jing and said, "Lao Shi, I can't understand what I mean. Song Qing must die."

Cai Jing pulled his big eyelids and seemed to be about to fall asleep. After listening to Liang Shicheng's words, he said slowly, "People like Song Qing should indeed be killed, but His Royal Highness Kang also said in his letter that he is useful to His Highness and can't kill him now. So you'd better think about how to help Your Highness get Song Qing into Your Highness's army!"

Among the four, Wang Fu is also a person who hates Song Qing. Li Yan is the leader of everything. It seems that Cai Jing is very isolated, but Cai Jing does not give Liang Shicheng any face when he speaks, just because he knows that several people present are not clean, and they have received bribes from King Kang. The little braids are written in the hands of King Kang. That's why Cai Jing is so sure to let them obey orders.

Songqing Dynasty Qin Muchu, in addition to Cai Jing, there is also one who is not two-sided and three knives? On the one hand, he was better than the prince, and he was not afraid of the gifts sent by King Kang.

It is said that officials are afraid of standing in the wrong team, but these brothers don't seem to have such scruples. They only recognize silver but not people. Everyone is the owner of the mother.

Some things are like this. Obviously, everyone knows that as long as they don't say it, it's still a secret.

A trace of hatred flashed in Liang Shicheng's eyes, but suddenly smiled. He shrill, "Master, I'm afraid that our family can't really help with this matter. You don't know anything. Song Qing donated a sum of military pay to the officials, and part of it has been sent, and most of the rest is being transported from Liangshan. If you want to get Song Qing out of Beijing at this time, do you think the officials will agree?"

The old emperor hid the matter of Song Qing's sending money to the old emperor. In addition to the emperor, there was also the little eunuch, and that night, the little eunuch disappeared. So up to now, the old emperor thought that no one knew about this matter, but he didn't know that Liang Shicheng had received the news at the first time.

When Cai Jing first heard the news, he was also confused. He knew the old emperor's temperament very well. If this is true, then Song Qing really doesn't want to leave the capital.

But I heard Liang Shicheng smile and said, "But I guess Liang Shan's military money will never reach the capital. At that time, I will see how Song Qing will explain to the officials?"

Cai Jing frowned again and said that he still wanted to kill Song Qing. However, Song Qing was a little confusing. He defected to King Kang and hooked up with the prince in a blink of an eye. Now, he actually has a relationship with the emperor. There are too many heads, right? He is not afraid of putting his head in the end.

The hooked Song Qing was leisurely enjoying the night scene while going to the prince's mansion.

Although Song Qing's residence is also located in the inner city, it is far from the prince's mansion. He crossed the night market, walked along the inner city river, turned to the royal street facing the palace, and walked towards the palace for a while to reach the prince's mansion.

Fortunately, someone will lead the way, otherwise Song Qing will be afraid of getting lost.

The noisy night market is fading away behind, and pedestrians on the road are gradually disappearing.

Although there are much fewer pedestrians, the lights on both sides have not decreased.

It can be seen that Song people attach great importance to fire prevention, and the lanterns are not hanging on trees. Every few steps in front of the tree, there is a wooden pole, standing on the side of the road like a street lamp, with a horizontal frame and an angry wind lamp hanging on one side. The originally dark path is illuminated like day.

Walking on such a path, Song Qing couldn't help thinking that it would be a romantic thing if only he and Dou Niang walked here.

As he was walking, Song Qing suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Stop"

The Hammer and Yang Zhi have returned to their residence, with only Gao Jin and Shi Xiu with 20 bodyguards.

Hearing Song Qing's shouting, everyone immediately stopped.

Looking at the bright but empty streets, Song Qing's bad feelings became stronger and stronger.

Be careful not to do too much ten times, and one careless time is enough. Without hesitation, he said, "Tell everyone to be alert, and we will go back the same way."

The servants sent by Zhao Huan didn't understand what was going on, but they heard that Song Qing didn't go to the prince's place for the banquet. They were suddenly a little stupid. They hadn't heard that the minister dared to refuse the prince's invitation.

"General Song, His Royal Highness has prepared a banquet waiting for you in the house, but you have been half gone but suddenly said you can't go. How can I explain to His Royal Highness? If Your Highness blames you, I'm afraid you can't get rid of it. Let's go on."

Song Qing stared at him for a while, but did not find any problems from Zhao Huan's men. Then he said, "Your Highness, besides inviting me, who else did you invite?"

The servants thought for a moment and shook their heads and said, "No, at least before I come out, I know Your Highness will invite you one."

This person obviously doesn't know anything.

Although he couldn't see anything on the road ahead, Song Qing could feel a thorough murderous spirit. It was strange that Shi Xiu and Gao Jin, who climbed out of the pile of dead people, had not felt anything until now, but Song Qing felt it.

Song Qing couldn't explain the reason. He just felt that his heart was beating violently, as if something terrible was going to happen.

Although the people came were the prince's subordinates, these people only listened to Song Qing's words. Song Qing retreated, and everyone immediately slowly retreated. Only the person under Zhao Huan's hand was left there alone.

Just then, a pleasant bell came from behind the team.

Hearing the bell, Song Qing was more anxious and urged everyone to leave quickly.

Like cooperation, there was also a bell in front of the team, but strangely, there were only bells on both sides and no one was seen.

Gao Jin and Shi Xiu also felt that something was wrong at this time. Both of them had experienced many battles. Although they were not shocked, they immediately ordered the bodyguards to surround the carriage.

Shi Xiu has also ventured into the world. After seeing everyone guarding Song Qing, he pulled out two knives and took a step forward and said in a low voice in the direction of the bell: "Liangshan Shixiu is here. He is a ghost. He comes out bright. What kind of man is a sneaky man?"

"Amitabha, the poor monk is not a hero, but a foreign monk who can defeat demons. The sea of suffering is boundless. Looking back is the shore, leave the carriage, and you can go by yourself!"

The voice is strange and strange, making it impossible to distinguish his real direction.

"Give your mother's stinky fart, pretend to be a ghost, have the guts to stand up, and I will fight against the three lilies with you"

Although Shi Xiu shouted fiercely, his heart was also a little furious. Isn't he going to meet a ghost? Otherwise, why can't you even see a person?

Turning his head and whispered to Gao Jin, "Erlang's safety is important. I'll pester him later, and you protect Erlang and go quickly."

Song Qing doesn't believe in any ghosts at all, but he just pretends to be a ghost and scares himself.

But I couldn't help wondering why there was a monk? When did I offend the monk?

"Since you are so unrepentant, let Lao Kun wait for you! "Oh!"

With the monk's shouting, the bell suddenly became rapid, and then turned into a roar, flying to the carriage and the guards around.

The guards drew their knives early and saw the hidden weapons flying, and they danced their weapons to hit the hidden weapons.

After a crisp sound, there was a pile of scrap metal on the ground, but several bodyguards were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground moaning.

Zhao Huan's men fell to the ground without even humming, with golden bells on their heads, which looked very strange.

"You protect Erlang and go quickly",

Shi Xiu and Gao Jin not only had to guard against the hidden weapons fired at him, but also had to guard against the carriage. Suddenly, he sweated profusely. Seeing that the situation was critical, Shi Xiu pushed Gao Jin and said. As soon as the words fell, he was stunned. Gao Jin followed Shi Xiu's eyes and was stunned.

I saw that the flattery of the cart had foamed and fell to the ground.

What if there is no carriage and Song Qing has no martial arts?

Gao Jin and Shi Xiu were more anxious, but strangely, although the horse had fallen to the ground and the carriage was crooked, Song Qing and Dou Niang in the car did not come out.

The carriage is just an ordinary carriage, and the carriage has no special processing, so the first thought in their minds was that Song Qing was injured.

At this time, Song Qing's voice came from the carriage.

The voice of "responding calmly and responding to changes unchanged" is calm and does not look hurt at all.

Song Qing is a typical person who is more dangerous and calm. He knows that if he abandons his car and escapes at this time, he will be hit by the enemy's trick.

This is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the patrolling soldiers may appear at any time, so once the other party fails to assassinate, he will not dare to stay for a long time.

And if he escapes at this time, he is bound to give the enemy a second chance, so he can't move.

It seems to confirm Song Qing's idea. The monk who pretended to be a ghost suddenly fell silent after the first round of attack.

Shi Xiu and Gao Jin did not dare to be careless at all, and surrounded the uninjured guards around the carriage and did not dare to slack off at all.

Just as everyone wondered whether the enemy was attacking or retreating, they suddenly heard a cold hum, and then a dark shadow jumped from the top of the tree by the roadside, and the direction of landing was the top of the carriage.

Shi Xiu and Gao Jin were waiting, jumping up with a knife and facing the shadow.

At this moment, the bell sounded again and shot from the carriage in all directions.

Shi Xiu and Gao Jin are facing the enemy, and the rest of the guards have been injured, and there have been loopholes in defense. And this time the ringtone is more urgent. Obviously, every step of the assassin has been carefully planned.

Song Qing seems to be more or less auspicious this time.
