Chapter 274 Cremation
Lu Qiang wears very casually, wearing a loose brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist, which is luxurious but not vulgar. Winter in Jiangnan is not cold. From the appearance alone, he is a rich businessman who goes out to play.
A dozen bodyguards followed him far or near, and a pair of blade-like eyes nervously glanced at the surrounding crowd.
It can be said that this kind of show is his consistent style of private visits.
Tian Song carefully observed Lu Qiang from afar for a long time before finally confirming that this was not a trap. Lu Qiang should have appeared after confirming that there was no danger here.
After noon, there are not many pedestrians on the street, but there are many public exchanges. If the crowd is dense, Tiansong will definitely choose to send people to give Lu Qiang a cold son in the crowd. Now this situation is definitely not good. Lu Qiang's own martial arts skills are very high, and once the assassination cannot be quickly ended, he will be guarded by Lu Qiang. If they are entangled, the officers and soldiers will come soon.
So the street is not the best place to assassinate.
Where should we set up an ambush to assassinate Lu Qiang? Tiansong meditated for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered a place, and Lu Qiang would definitely go there.
Lu Qiang was actually not sure whether the assassin would do it on the street. It seemed that he was wandering easily, but his actual spirit was highly tense, and his eyes carefully observed everyone who passed in front of him.
In this way, he has been walking two streets. When the sun is turning and Yong'an Palace is already looking at it, Lu Qiang secretly breathed out. It seems that the assassin was indeed chosen there.
This is like a gamble, and the chip is the life of the other party.
When they arrived here, there was no need to hide their identities, and the guards guarding Yong'an Palace also knew Lu Qiang. Seeing the sudden arrival of the emperor, they hurriedly opened the palace door to invite the emperor to enter. At the same time, they felt close to report to the peak.
Everything is so natural that people can't see any problems.
Jiankang people all know that the emperor's feelings for Yong'an Palace are better than any palace, so not only are people cleaning here every day, but even the chefs in the dining room are fully equipped.
However, Lu Qiang will never touch the food here today. After pretending to make a few gestures, he drove everyone out on the grounds that he was tired and needed to rest.
Time is passing slowly. I don't know when the moon quietly climbed up the branches, and the moon shadow reflected the trees on the window, like midnight monsters, choosing people to eat with their teeth and claws.
At this moment, nearly a hundred dark shadows suddenly fell from the sky. After landing, they rushed to Lu Qiang's dormitory without stopping.
"Who is it?"
After a soft drink, several shadows rushing to the front fell to the ground, and some were even shot out.
Looking around, I saw that there were more than a dozen figures in front of Lu Qiang's bedroom, and the harsh alarm also sounded.
Seeing this scene, Tiansong, who was the last one to hide, was not surprised but happy. If his people could rush in smoothly, he would be the first to escape, because he had learned from the inside that the emperor lived in this room. Now that the guard is so closely, it must not be wrong.
At present, he couldn't suppress his inner joy and shouted, "The dog emperor is in the room and kills him. The world is ours. Kill him!"
Tiansong's own martial arts skills are high. He also knows that Lu Qiang's martial arts skills are not weak, but he is still sure to take his life in the shortest time.
Lu Qiang's bodyguard is also one of the best. There are too many assassins, and there are many real masters among them, so it is inevitable to lose one.
In a blink of an eye, the guards were entangled. At this time, Tiansong rose up like a swallow and dodged in with the window broken by him.
At the same moment when Tiansong entered Luqiang's bedroom, the lights in Yong'an Palace suddenly burst into flames, and countless lightball torches emerged from the darkness, followed by countless sharp arrows with cold light aimed at the assassins who became at a loss because of the sudden emergence of the lights.
After jumping into the house, Tiansong, who was full of joy, found four dragons and phoenix dancing in the middle of the room.
Looking at these big words for a moment, Tiansong spewed out a mouthful of blood. After years of painstakingly planning, the ultimate dream of a lifetime turned into nothing at this moment.
At this moment, a military order suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty has a decree to kill the king, and you will die!"
It was this broken drink that made Tiansong's mind clear, and he had no time to take care of his men outside, and began to search carefully in the room.
The insider he arranged here is an extremely reliable person. Since the emperor is in this room, but now he is suddenly gone, there is only one explanation. There is a secret in this room.
Tiansong is very clear that even if you have the martial arts skills of heaven, you can't run for your life. In this case, why did he go out?
Not to mention, under Tiansong's careful search, he found a secret door under the bed.
Tiansong was secretly happy. He found a mechanism and tried to push the secret door open, but found that it was dark and rumbling inside. Seeing this scene, Tiansong couldn't help hesitating, but his desire to survive quickly defeated reason, lit the candle and got into it.
There were also two believers beside Tiansong. Seeing that the master had entered, they also followed without hesitation.
"What does it taste like?"
Just a few steps away, Tiansong suddenly stopped and leaned forward with the candle in his hand.
I don't know what the fire candle has touched. A string of beautiful sparks suddenly ignited in the darkness in front of me, and then the fire was full, and the sparks spread around at a very fast speed.
"No, hurry back!"
Tiansong shouted very timely and retreated quickly, but he forgot that there were two people behind him. The two apprentices didn't realize what was going on at all, so they bumped into the master and then fell to the ground.
And this fall was also encountering a fast-burning spark. In addition to the dust on their bodies, their whole body also burned quickly and turned into three burning firemen in a blink of an eye...
Tiansong didn't know that this road to death was deliberately left to him by Lu Qiang. The passage was full of the most primitive gunpoor. Poor Tiansong, the extremely smart Taoist priest, finally died under his intelligence.
At this time, the rain of arrows outside had stopped, and the soldiers began to search for fish without leaking nets under the leadership of the generals. In fact, it is lucky to be shot to death on the spot under such a dense rain of arrows. In case of death and being made up by soldiers a few more times, the death will be a tragedy.
Lu Qiang stood expressionlessly on the palace wall and looked at the soldiers below inspecting the assassin's body. Wang Dan and Feng Ping stood behind him left and right.
Although the results of this battle were very rich, they were enough to frighten the two for most of the day.
After a long time, Lu Qiang said, "Strictly check the details of these people. Although the first evils are eliminated, they must not be let go of their party members and do everything to eliminate evil."
Just from Tiansong's shout, Lu Qiang had heard his voice. It was not until there was a fire in the secret road that he was sure that this stormy demon road had finally subdued.
The two of them should be in unison.
Lu Qiang finally took a deep look at this place before turning around and leaving. Although he was impressed, he would never come back after this.
The killing in Yong'an Palace did not cause any storms in Jiankang City at first, and even most people did not know that there was a war last night.
However, it was different the next afternoon. A team of heavily armed soldiers began to search the city. Many shops were sealed up and people were taken away. Those who resisted were killed on the spot. At this point, the people of Jiankang knew that something big had happened.
Immediately, Lu Qiang announced the crimes of Tiansong's group at the Golden Hall of Jiankang, appointed Wang Dan as the governor of Xu Yang and transferred Wang Zhen to the governor of Youyan.
And then the people knew that the emperor had come to build health.
From the surface, Wang Zhen's evil was transferred to the ice and snowy Youzhou, which was the emperor's continuous punishment for him, but everyone knows that Youyan is close to the north, which is the top priority of the court. The emperor's sending Wang Zhen's evil faction there is obviously a manifestation of great trust, and the days when Wang Zhen's evil return to the court will not be too far away.
Soon, Tiansong's secret stronghold was also found, and evidence of Liu Yi's invisible Baekje was found.
Seeing this thing, Lu Qiang did not say anything. On the way to Guangling, he summoned Xu Daofu to come to see him immediately.
In Lu Qiang's memory, the people on the other side of Baekje and Jiaozhi are similar. They are both unfamiliar white-eyed wolves and can be beaten from time to time.
As soon as Lu Qiang arrived in Guangling, Xu Qian caught up like a fire.
Lu Qiang has long known that Xu Qian has been stopping in Yangzhou. He knows that Xu Qian must be waiting for further instructions from Tuoba. Now when I see Xu Qian following up, I know that it is Tuoba Ji's new order.
This time, Xu Qian's face is full of spring breeze, and Lu Qiang is puzzled. Did this old guy pick up the baby?
"Congratulations to Your Majesty"
As soon as we met, Xu Qian's New Year's greetings came up.
"Oh! Where does my joy come from?
"Hehe! My majesty heard that your majesty fell in love with Princess Pearl and specially ordered a foreign minister to do this matter. His Majesty said, isn't this a happy event?
After listening to Xu Qian's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Tuoba Miao wants to marry Tuoba Mingzhu to me? This guy is really good enough to achieve his goal.
To be honest, Lu Qiang is really a little moved. Although he and Wang Shenai have a deep relationship with him, he has now fully integrated into this era and does not reject the many women around him. He has just been busy with government affairs and has no intention to think about this.
Now, by chance, he met Tuoba Mingzhu, a lovely girl. If he has no idea at all, I'm afraid he is not a man.
But the problem is that marrying this girl costs money, and once the relationship becomes political, its taste will change.
Lu Qiang wants a woman who has the original flavor and can bring him real happiness, but he can't have any conditions.
After meditating for a long time, he finally said cruelly, "Mingzhu is indeed a very lovely girl, but I can't marry her. Again, go back and tell Tuoba Kui that everything you want must go through normal channels. Don't think about some crooked ways. Well, I'm a little tired. Go down!"
Xu Qian was completely dumbfounded this time. He thought that as long as he opened his mouth, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty would happily agree, but he didn't expect that he would refuse. He had the intention to persuade him a few more words, but he saw that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had left.
After stopping for a long time, he finally left resentfully.
Lu Qiang, sitting in the back hall, held the memorial in his hand and came to his senses in a daze.
"That girl will hate me if she knows my decision, right? Alas! We can only be blamed for not being born at the right time..."
