Chapter 589 Queen Mother: Regret that Gongsun Zhaoyou should be demoted!

[Do not cut nameless (take effect)]

[The highest attribute of Tong Guan is luck, successfully extracting 1 point of luck attribute]

……

"It's not physique?"

Stabbing Tong Guan to death with a single shot and triggering his talent is basically certain. After all, the most famous eunuch in the Song Dynasty was Tong Guan. Li Xian and Wang Jien may not be inferior to Tong Guan in terms of personal achievements, but they are far less famous.

When it comes to Tong Guan, it is natural to think of his military exploits. His early Zhengxi campaign was quite bright, and his physique and appearance are majestic with extraordinary talent. Li Yan thought that this person's physique must be the most outstanding. , I didn't expect it to be luck.

However, since the crude plan to murder the Queen Mother just now almost succeeded, and the crimes that were handed into the palace before have disappeared, Tong Guan's luck is indeed quite strong.

Fortunately, he lost to this shot through the heart after all.

【Obviously a strong man but still cautious (effective)】

[Do you want to convert the extracted attribute into a reserved attribute? 】

【Yes】

[Currently there are 2 reserved attribute points, which can be converted into 1 free attribute point. 】

This free attribute point has a very high gold content. Two of the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty were killed. During the observation period when they did not go to war, Li Yan was quite satisfied with this harvest.

After solving Tong Guan, the courtiers who directly colluded with Wuyou Cave were wiped out. Li Yan pulled the tip of his gun away, allowing Tong Guan's body to fall into the depths of the cave. up.

Even without the heart-piercing shot just now, Wuwozi would be dead. Continuously driving the magic weapon of ghosts pollutes the mana, and the abuse of ghosts and armor directly erodes the flesh and blood, becoming human and ghosts. like a ghost.

And the penetration of Han Ji's shot is like opening a hole in a balloon, and the last vitality leaves the body in an instant.

The head of the beggar in the Wuyou Cave didn't leave a last word, and died directly. The expression of resentment and ferocity on his face was still fixed forever.

Carrying Wuwozi's body, Li Yan walked out of Wuyou Cave, and saw a row of round shields at the exit of the ditch, and dozens of attendants were waiting solemnly.

In the distance, the sound of Huarong wanting to come, but being blocked could be heard. They were obviously frightened and never dared to let anyone approach them again.

Feeling the bow and crossbow being aimed at, Li Yan said ahead of time: "I am Lin Chong, my father, Lin Tijutsu, is also a member of the Imperial Army, the thief has bowed his head!"

There was a sudden commotion outside, and there was a faint ecstasy of relief, and a strong voice responded quickly: "It turns out to be Lin Erlang, please come out quickly! Please come out!"

When Li Yan walked out, he saw a big man in strong and sharp clothes coming forward: "The next species (chóng) Shi Hao, who is the commander of Yulongzhi, met Lin Erlang, thank you Erlang for your help!"

Li Yan: "The commander is polite. When the road is uneven, he even draws his sword to help. What's more, the thief is so arrogant, and he is suspected of being the leader of the thief in Wuyou Cave. Everyone has to kill him!"

Seeing Wuwozi's body, Zhong Shihao saw deep hatred in his eyes: "Is he the leader of the Wuyou Cave thief?"

Li Yan handed over Wuwozi's body: "There are still many Wuyoudong thieves imprisoned in Kaifeng Prison, and they are being executed in batches. We can use these people to determine their identities."

Zhong Shihao was greatly moved: "Lin Erlang, this is thanks to the heavens, so you handed over the corpse to me?"

Li Yandao: "I have no official or position, so what merits can I talk about, but this time I disturbed the Queen Mother, and the follow-up was full of twists and turns. My father is the appointed officer of the imperial army, so please don't refuse the commander."

Zhong Shihao knew very well that the Queen Mother was assassinated this time, and he was greatly shocked. They, the guards who protect the royal family, have the greatest responsibility, but if they take the thief, they can avoid a lot of punishment. He clasped his fists heavily: "Thank you Lin Erlang!"

Li Yan said again: "The internal official who was protecting the Empress Dowager just now was unfortunately killed during the fight, and his body was also left in the Wuyou Cave..."

It was a pity for Zhong Shihao to hear the words: "Tong knows that he is loyal, and he is so desperate. I am afraid that he has already put life and death aside. Fortunately, the queen mother is safe, and the thief is punished. He can die in peace."

Li Yan thought that once you said this, Tong Guan would definitely not be able to rest in peace, and then looked at the situation not far away: "The command center is right, and I have something else to do, so I will leave!"

Zhong Shihao watched Li Yan leave without delay, and said sincerely: "Superb in martial arts, magnificent in stature, and a true hero!"

He ordered people to keep Wu Wuzi's body in a safe place, such a rebellious thief, after his identity was verified, must hang his body for a few days as a warning to others.

Next, he had to tell the Queen Mother the credit of Lin Chong, a righteous scholar. Others can be indifferent to fame and wealth, but he himself cannot be greedy for credit.

But before reaching the Empress Dowager, he heard Guo Kai's urgent voice: "Come quickly! Send the imperial doctor! Send the imperial doctor!!"

……

Royal Palace.

Zhao Ji, with a sick face, was painting again.

Compared with some time ago, his paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds are all vivid, elegant, graceful and pleasant, so that people who don't know how to appreciate paintings can think that this is a superior work. These days, the works seem to be slightly out of order, appearing A lot of mediocrity.

Zhao Ji painted for a while, and after looking at it himself, he was not satisfied, so he waved his hand to ask the maid to remove it, and replaced it with a blank canvas. He was about to let go of his mood, forget his troubles, and paint a satisfactory work, when he heard the sound coming from outside. noisy.

He put down his paintbrush, lay down slowly, with a sick face, and then saw his confidantes and servants scrambling in: "Officials! Officials! Something is wrong! When the Queen Mother entered the Daxiangguo Temple to pray, she was assassinated by thieves." !"

Zhao Ji sat up, his face changed drastically: "Quick! Quick! I'm going to visit my mother!"

The servants and maids hurried forward to help the official put on his robes, and the imperial chariot arrived outside the palace, let him sit on it, and left for Funing Palace.

Along the way, Zhao Ji prepared his emotions, his brows were full of sadness and anxiety, and then Tong Guan's words at that time suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Does Tong know that the Queen Mother will accompany you when she goes out of the palace to pray for blessings?"

The confidant's servant immediately replied: "Tong Duzhi is in the prayer team..."

"How dare this eunuch behave so surlyly? What if I get tired?"

Zhao Ji immediately guessed what had happened, with real shock and anger in his eyes, and thoughts of fear in his heart, he trembled and said, "What's wrong with your mother?"

The confidant's servant said: "Report to the officials, the queen mother was frightened by the thieves and passed out, and all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital have passed..."

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, both grateful and secretly disappointed, and then asked slowly: "Where are the other ministers? Are there any injuries?"

The confidant's servant's voice was a little low: "The thief acted fiercely and injured many monks from Banzhi and Daxiangguo Temple. Among the accompanying servants, only Tong Duzhi was killed by the thief..."

Zhao Ji was stunned: "Did Tong know that he was killed?"

The confidant servant said: "According to what Ban Zhi said, when the thieves tried their best, it was Tong Duzhi who carried the queen mother on his back first and left. When the queen mother was rescued, Tong Duzhi was dragged into the Wuyou Cave by the thieves and brutally killed."

Zhao Ji murmured: "Everyone knows...you are so loyal..."

Even the officials were confused by the complicated situation. When the Empress Dowager Xiang lay on the bed in Funing Palace and finally opened her eyes slowly, there was Tong Guan in the first sentence: "Did the thief take it down?" ? Tong knows what happened?"

Suddenly there was a burst of crying, and Guo Kai's hoarse voice was especially obvious: "Queen Mother, you finally woke up! If something happens to you...how can you live like a slave!"

Listening to the sincere grief in their cries, although the Queen Mother was in pain, she also showed a look of relief: "You are all loyal ministers! Loyal ministers!"

The other maidservants are fine, Guo Kai was furious when he heard that Tong Guan was named a loyal minister, but seeing the pale face of the Empress Dowager, his lips trembled a few times, and he didn't dare to speak again. It's time to reveal the truth.

The Empress Dowager was more concerned about the whereabouts of the leader of the thief in Wuyou Cave, and asked for the second time, "The thief...has he been caught?"

"Young lady!!"

At this moment, a terribly shrill cry came, and Zhao Ji rushed in almost scrambling, reached the head of the bed, and stretched out his hand to hold the empress dowager's skinny palm: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! How could such a thing happen? !"

Seeing the sadness of Chunxiao's official family, Xiang Empress Dowager showed relief again, but he still cared about the whereabouts of the thief most: "Has the murderer been caught?"

Zhao Ji looked back with tears on his face, Guo Kai looked at this sad official, his body suddenly trembled, and he lowered his head and said: "The queen mother is blessed and blessed, the thief has bowed his head, and the commander has ordered people to go to the Kaifeng government office. Check with the Wuyoudong thieves, the deceased is the leader of the Wuyoudong thieves."

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and turbid old tears fell from the corners of her eyes immediately, and she murmured: "Brother...young brother...the old man finally avenged you all before he passed away!"

The surroundings burst into tears, and Zhao Ji took the lead in mourning: "Your Majesty, please don't say such words! Please don't say such words!"

But in fact, whether it was the servants close to him, from the face of the queen mother, or Zhao Ji's inquiry of the imperial doctor's diagnosis just before he came in, he could tell that this man was dying soon.

The elderly are most afraid of tossing, so once they are demoted, many people will die on the bumpy road. What's more, the Queen Mother was assassinated by thieves this time, even if she was not directly injured, the shock and fear in it also destroyed her health.

Empress Dowager Xiang also realized this, and held Zhao Ji's hand tremblingly: "Brother Eleven, don't need to be in pain, old age is dying, this country will eventually be handed over to you..."

As she was talking, she thought of her life, with a mediocre status in the palace, and finally had the opportunity to be in charge of the government, and it ended like this before even a year came, muddy tears welled up again and slid down her cheeks.

Unwilling, the name that had already been put aside came back to his mind again: "Back then Judge Gongsun wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but I ordered him to wait a while. If the leader of the thief was caught at that time, why did it go so far... Why is this..."
