Wishful Things

"Duke be careful!" A minister exclaimed.

"Father!"

Lord Zhen Guo gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said loudly: "Quick! Escort Your Majesty to the front hall! It is convenient for the Yulin Army and the police guards to go there to meet the escort!"

Seeing the old man injured, Emperor Qingming made a heart-wrenching expression: "The Duke will go with me!"

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, there must be no mistakes! There are veterans here to drag you, Your Majesty, hurry up!" Facing the assassin's attack, Duke Zhen had no time to look back, and he also had no time to care about his shoulders. injury.

"The Duke is right, Your Majesty should put the overall situation first!"

"His Majesty……"

"Help Your Majesty to the front hall!"

The ministers persuaded, and made up their minds for the emperor who was unwilling to leave.

The emperor was obviously thinking about the military talisman, and wanted to show his benevolence in front of Lord Zhen Guo, so they were the only ones to sing about this shameless face.

Emperor Qingming left along the corridor surrounded by ministers and hidden guards.

"Stop the dog faint!"

An assassin shouted loudly, and immediately several people flew after him.

The bodyguards and hidden guards drew their swords to protect Emperor Qingming while fighting and retreating.

Blood from an assassin or a guard splashed on Emperor Qingming's face, he gritted his teeth, and turned his head in the crowd to take a last look in the direction of Duke Zhen.

The official hat on the old man's head was nowhere to be found, his gray hair was in a mess, and he was retreating steadily under the siege of several men in black, his tall figure was in a state of embarrassment.

The so-called heroes also have their twilight, the Duke is old after all——

But still so dissatisfied with the old love and showing off...

Emperor Qingming withdrew his gaze and let out a sneer from the bottom of his heart.

If Xu Qiwei was really lucky enough to die in this assassination, it would be the best, and it would be regarded as a well-deserved death, and he could still gain a good name. After he gets the military power, he can consider leaving a way for the descendants of the Xu family to survive...

"Father! Father!"

The palace people scattered and fled to the front hall, but a round figure in a dark green official robe escaped halfway and then came back.

"What are you doing here, get the hell out of here!"

The chaos was extreme. Although some officials noticed that Xu Jin hadn't followed, they had no time to take care of it.

Don't say anything else at this time, if they can protect the emperor's safety today, then they will burn incense!

The way for everyone to protect the emperor and escape to the front hall was not smooth. Although the number of assassins was not many, they were all amazing in skill and ruthless in their attacks. The sword went straight towards Emperor Qingming.

With life and death at stake, Emperor Qingming's pupils shrank, and he grabbed an official who was supporting him and stood in front of him.

"Pfft—"

The blade sank into the flesh.

Emperor Qingming lowered his head in a daze, only to see that the sharp bloody sword point pierced the body of the person in front of him, and it was right in front of himself.

During this gap, two hidden guards had already taken the assassin's life.

The official also fell to the ground, his wide eyes fixed on Emperor Qingming.

The other ministers were all shocked.

That was Fang Jucheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the minister of the Ministry of Officials who was just promoted last year, it is said that he was secretly promoted by Xia Tingzhen——

This person has been protecting the emperor's side all the time, probably because he wanted to pick up the plane to show his loyalty and pay off his merits, so as not to be affected by Xia Tingzhen's incident.

The terrible thing is that even he himself never imagined that he would have to sacrifice his life for such a crime...

...

What is going on in the Taimiao only happened in one corner of this place, the blood of the fight did not reach the blue sky, and the golden autumn sun still hung high and looked down on everything.

The streets in the capital that are far away from the imperial palace are considered calm.

At the same moment, in the Xi Garden of the also seemingly peaceful Zhen Guogong Mansion, a girl in a sandalwood tunic with black hair tied high above her head with a lake blue ribbon strode out of the bedroom and sat in the outer hall. Next, he glanced at the hourglass and said, "Let Uncle Zhu come in."

Ah Zhu answered "Yes" and walked out quickly.

Sitting in the chair, the girl picked up a roll of drawings on the coffee table and unfolded it.

"Girl—" Zhu Xiu saluted solemnly.

"Here, here, and here..." Xu Mingyi pointed to a few places above the blueprint on the coffee table, and confessed: "There are five people in total, bring people as close as possible from the blind spots of their sight... don't leave any one behind, and take the corpse with you." to here."

This is the layout of their town government.

What is marked on it is exactly the hiding place of the eyeliners who monitor their Zhen Guogong's mansion——

These people have been staring at their Zhen Guogong's mansion for a long time. Although the hiding place has been moved occasionally, but she just had someone check the location this morning, and the Celestial Eye has also made efforts to confirm it. There is no mistake.

Zhu Xiu took the drawing and walked away with cupped fists.

The plan was made early in the morning, and those with excellent lightness skills were selected in advance. According to the confession, they were selected to approach places that the opponent could not see, but the opponent just noticed it, and was stabbed with a cold dagger from behind. Throat broken.

They have been ordered to monitor the Duke of Zhen's mansion for some time, because they have "never been discovered", and today it is time for the Duke of Zhen to accompany the holy driver to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices. No one would have thought that the chance of killing would come suddenly at this "business as usual" moment.

"boom!"

There was a sound similar to that of tiles falling and breaking, Xu Mingyi immediately picked up the longbow at hand and walked out quickly.

Stepping down the stone steps, I came to the courtyard and raised my eyes to see where the sound came from, only to see a dark shadow stepping on the roof and running fast.

Under the sunlight, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly, nocked her arrows, drew her bow, and moved her arms to aim in the right direction——

"call out!"

The long arrow leaves the string and breaks through the wind.

The back of the figure that was about to cross the courtyard wall was pierced by a long arrow and fell from a height.

"girl."

The young guard who came chasing after the figure bowed his head and said, "It was my subordinate's negligence that almost allowed this person to escape."

"There's no escape anyway." Xu Mingyi looked at the half-dead man brought here by Azhu.

Since there is a plan, even if these five people grow wings today, it is impossible for them to leave alive.

The reason why they chose to do it before the action was that the emperor would notice the actions of their Zhen Guo Gongfu as late as possible, so as to ensure that there was enough time to leave the city smoothly.

Looking at the person Azhu threw in front of his girl, and at the arrow that hit the back of his heart, the hidden guard touched his nose.

This spy's vision is also unique enough, there is nowhere to escape, and he chose his girl's yard, isn't this sincerely trying to close the door of hell?

Soon, the bodies of other spies were also brought out.

Five people, not one more.

"Girl, these people all have the badges of police officers." Zhu Xiu held the five badges in front of Xu Mingyi.

Xu Mingyi nodded and told the maids: "Azhu Ali, take out the prepared clothes—"

"yes."

Two boxes of clothes were moved out—to be precise, Ah Zhu carried one box with one hand, and helped Ah Li carry the other box with the other hand.

Ah Li is very ashamed and excited, Ah Kui is good at medicine, Ah Zhu has strength, and there is still a lot of room for her to work hard.

"Put on the police guard's clothes." Xu Mingyi looked at the nearly twenty guards and Zhu Xiu standing in the courtyard, and then at the seven hidden guards: "Choose five of the seven of you and put their badges on them." Take it with you and remember to be first when you go out of town."

Clothes can be imitated, but it is not easy to fool around with a fake waist card, so half-truths and half-fakes are more sure.

And the dark guard never appeared in front of people, and his face was so as not to arouse people's suspicion.

Everyone responded in unison, and Xu Mingyi said to Ali: "Call the other people in the upper court, and don't leave any one behind, follow me—"

The hour has come.

In the Taimiao, if grandfather and the others go well, she should leave in two quarters of an hour.

And if the action in the Taimiao does not go well... the people in the mansion must be settled in time.

Ah Li nodded quickly: "Yes, maidservant, let's go now!"

The maids and wives in the yard quickly gathered over. The little girls saw the men who were changing their coats in the yard, all of them were hot-faced, and the wives were very surprised. The men who practiced martial arts were strong and beautiful-this... Is this something they can watch casually without paying?

No, why are there still a few lying on the ground?

There was a woman who just came from the back, but she didn't know it, so when she was about to take a closer look, she heard Ah Zhu urging: "Go quickly."

There is no doubt about Azhu's lustful power in the lower world, the group of people did not dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly followed Xu Mingyi out of Xiyuan.

Where is the girl taking them?

The maids and women secretly exchanged glances along the way.

And the more they walked forward, the more they could feel the strange atmosphere in the mansion. They had never seen a single person along the way... Where did everyone go?

This question will soon have an answer.

Xu Mingyi brought people to Xu Yun's residence, the courtyard was full of servants, and the noisy discussions suddenly fell silent when they saw her coming.

Then there was a fairly neat salute sound.

"girl……"

"girl."

"Uncle Yun, is everyone here?" Xu Mingyi asked.

"Miss, don't worry, the old slave has checked and counted again and again, one is not too many, one is not too much, and they are all here."

Xu Mingyi nodded, looked at the crowd, and raised his voice——

"You are summoned here today because something important is about to happen in the mansion. This is our Xu family's decision. Normally, you should not be involved, but since you have entered the government of Zhen Guo, you are destined to be prosperous and lose all. If the Xu family ceases to exist, there will be no eggs in the nest. Right now, the Xu family is in the midst of life and death, and in order to save themselves, they can only fight with all their strength—and at this critical moment, the Xu family also has the responsibility to protect everyone's safety!"

As soon as the girl's voice fell, the surroundings became restless.

Someone was surprised and uneasy: "What big event is going to happen..."

"What do you mean girl?"

There are also people who haven't figured out the situation yet, but have already acted as if they were dead: "The villains swear to live and die with the Duke's government!"

This shout seemed to ignite a flame in the crowd, causing the atmosphere to boil and heat up instantly.

Many people began to echo loudly.

"That's right!"

"The Duke's Mansion is our home, who dares to try!"

There are some people here who retired from the Xu family's military camp. Apart from being loyal, they also have a whole body of blood - in the words of the common people, even the lame old man who is the gatekeeper of the Duke of Zhen's mansion can eat three bowls for a meal. , One punch can kill a person.

"Girl, what can we do, go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, just order!"

"If the dog emperor can't tolerate the general, let's go against it! I've been waiting for a long time to put up with this foolish king who specializes in making trouble with moths!"

"The general doesn't have to suffer from this uselessness!"

"Girl, let's go meet the general right now!"

"Ah, rebellion?!" The little servant who was the first to shout that he wanted to live and die together was greatly surprised - he didn't expect to do this!

But if you think about it...it's okay!

The old man is so capable, why make a rebellion!

——As we all know, the thinking of the servants of the Xu family has always been so dangerous, and under the influence of the masters, the biggest advantage is their strong ability to accept things.

Looking at the excited faces in front of him, Xu Mingyi was quite touched.

"There is only one thing you need to do now—"

The girl glanced across the crowd inch by inch, and said: "There is a secret tunnel dug in this courtyard, and there is enough food in it to last for several months. You just need to hide in the secret tunnel at ease, follow Uncle Yun's instructions, and ensure your own safety. , when the time comes, someone will come to meet you!"

The reason why I chose the Second Uncle's Courtyard was after careful consideration.

One is that the second uncle is the most inconspicuous one in the mansion, to the extent that the spies are too lazy to take a look, and it is the most convenient to conceal the secret passage as scheduled.

Secondly, if you choose a place that is too remote, with so many people walking around today, there will be traces left, and the suspect Wei Shunteng may find him afterward.

Choosing here, and then creating the illusion that all the people in the mansion have escaped from the mansion, will be relatively much safer.

"Okay, we will do what the girl says!" Although some veterans felt a little disappointed, they agreed very simply.

Those who stayed on the battlefield know that it is also very important to obey orders and not delay in critical moments.

Naturally, there are also many people who have doubts about this. The incident happened suddenly, and not everyone has been sharpened on the battlefield. But the things that most people are nodding, they don't know and dare not to sing an anti-tune. If they really want to rebel, they will die if they go out now. There is no choice anyway. It's better to obey the girl's arrangement obediently, and there is still a chance of survival.

Uncle Yun quickly led several nurses and arranged for everyone to enter the secret passage one by one.

Every time a person enters, his name is crossed off the list.

When it was the turn of the two women, Uncle Yun saw something hidden in their hands, so he stepped forward to check.

Oh, it's the leaf brand...

"I'm afraid you'll get bored if you stay in it, so let us take it with you." The mother-in-law begged with an apologetic smile, "I'll bring you one when the time comes."

After pondering for a while, Uncle Yun nodded and accepted the bribe.

Some people still have a look of hesitation on their faces, while some people are already ready for entertainment in the days to come... Maybe this is called the pattern.

Seeing this, Xu Mingyi was also very moved. She could probably have predicted that these two women would definitely become the existence of the stars in the secret way.

When a person is in a difficult situation, it is good to have something to relax his mind.

Speaking of which, at the suggestion of my mother, there was indeed a table of horses hanging in the secret passage.

But we must also be prepared to hide in the dark place for a long time, maybe someone will collapse and cause trouble because of this-so, besides Uncle Yun who is in charge, those who enter the secret path will also have people with force deterrent ability people.

Human nature is always complex and fragile. When self-control is insufficient and evil thoughts appear, a strong person is needed to suppress them.

"Stop!" Ah Zhu suddenly called out.

These two chapters have been grinding for a whole day, everyone, go to bed after reading it, and I will go to bed too, see you tomorrow~
