The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 140 'Holding the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes'

"There are assassins, come back! You eunuch!!"

The screaming was covered by the heavy palace door, and the anxious old man rushed to the door and pulled it hard a few times, the outside was firmly pulled firmly, no matter how much he shouted, no one responded.

On the dragon bed, the awakened concubine sat in the curtain with her arms around the mattress and shrank to the head of the bed, too frightened to make a sound, looked timidly at the emperor, and then at the blurred figure outside the thin tent.

"Who the hell are you? If you were to assassinate me, you would have already done it before you went to bed." As the leader of the rebel army, Huang Chao, the current emperor, would naturally not be so unbearable. She calmed down a little, "Tell me, why did you come to Zhen's sleeping hall late at night?"

wow~~~
Over there, there was the sound of clear water being poured into the cup, and the figure raised his orchid fingers and took a sip with the cup between his back.

"Your Majesty, don't think about someone coming to rescue you. Our family grew up in this palace, and every flower and grass are very ripe."

The old man squinted his eyes, obviously he didn't expect that the other party would not answer his words at all, he glanced outside, the eunuchs outside the palace were obviously with him. I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Turning around and going back to the dragon bed, I reached out to take the knife. The moment my fingertips touched the handle, a black shadow appeared, and there was a crisp sound of ding, sparks bounced on the handle, and the blade that hadn't been taken away flew away together with the scabbard It fell off the headpost of the bed, and fell to the bottom of the distant temple pillar with a bang.

Over there, the back moved, and slowly lowered the arms that were outstretched, and put one hand on the stroking sleeve of the robe, leaning over the feminine cheek.

"Your Majesty, try again, the needles in our hands will fall on your head next time."

"I have ruled the world for many years, but this is the first time I have been threatened like this."

Looking at the imperial sword on the ground, Huang Chao swallowed, took a long breath, then let it out heavily, walked to the round table and sat down with a big horse and a golden sword.

"Speak, what do you want? Before the guards in this hall notice, speak quickly, or you will lose your chance."

'hehe.'

The young man named Jiuyu put down his cup, raised the orchid flower and stroked a strand of black hair hanging on his forehead with his fingers. His expression was cold, and he looked at the old man with a slightly charming look from the corner of his eyes.

"Huang Wang. Why do you think our family is only doing it now? Because our family is waiting for enough people. Even if your guards find out, they should be corpses by now."

In the frivolous words, Night Breeze ran across the eaves whimpering.

In the sound of closing the door, the eunuch who closed the door looked around, nodded towards several small yellow doors, and everyone carried lanterns and retreated to the steps. The guards patrolled over and asked when they saw the situation. The eunuch covered his mouth and pointed with a light smile. The closed temple door.

"Your Majesty, I'm interested, I can't wait to get close."

The guard glanced over there, there was a faint voice, but he couldn't understand it, so he couldn't disturb it rashly. He nodded and continued to the next place with his companions. Suddenly, more than a dozen black shadows rushed into the range illuminated by the lantern.

Someone turned his head, and at the same time an angry face came into view, he covered his mouth with one hand, and yanked the blade to his neck, drawing a deep line of blood.

The rest of the people also had their throats cut by the black shadow that rushed out, or directly strangled their heads and wrung their necks. The lantern fell to the ground with a 'slap', and was dragged away in an instant along with their bodies.

There was a rustling movement, and soon, eight figures dressed in palace guard costumes came out again, picked up the lanterns on the ground and continued to patrol around.

Occasionally, a secret signal was issued, and the hidden figures continued to spread, cleaning up the surrounding guards one by one, changing into the other's clothes, and firmly controlling Zichen Palace.

The night was quiet, with insects chirping and neighing in the corner, and the windows of the sleeping hall shone with warm light.

Rows of lampposts were flickering, and when the feminine voice finished speaking, Huang Chao pressed the table tightly, staring at the feminine profile and gnashing his teeth.

"Who instigated you to do such a rebellious thing, tell me, let me hear who it is!"

"Hehe, want to know?"

Jiuyu shook his robe, stood up and approached the old man. Huang Chao grabbed the silver pot on the table and threw it at him. He pressed his hand, and there was a cold smile on his face.

"You don't need to know it now. You will know it tomorrow morning. By the way, our family will be His Majesty's personal eunuch from now on. We will never leave our house even if we go to the toilet."

"If it is Your Majesty, it will be like this if you leave our house ten steps away without permission."

As the words fell, Jiuyu Subai flicked a finger from the palm of his hand, a cold light pierced the lights, and a row of candles over there suddenly broke into two pieces.

Huang Chao stared blankly at the half of the candle on the ground. He had never seen such a sharp hidden weapon, and it was rare for those Jianghu people in the army to have such a hand.

"Your Majesty, have you figured it out yet?" Jiuyu leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "From now on, whatever our family says will be what we say. If there is no word, Your Majesty will have a hole in his body. Don't worry. You can’t die, but the things will stay in your body and torture you day by day, Your Majesty is so old, it’s hard to become emperor, and he died after a few years of enjoyment, how boring.”

"Who is the person behind you?!"

The old man pursed his lips tightly and trembled slightly. When he asked this, he was picked up by the collar and pushed to the dragon bed over there. The young man in blue clapped his hands, moved a stool and sat there end of bed.

"Your Majesty, don't think so much. You will know tomorrow. It's getting late. Our family will keep watch for you. Rest quickly. You have to go to court early tomorrow. That concubine, why don't you serve His Majesty to sleep?"

The woman on the bed tremblingly looked at the old man sitting on the edge of the bed, and called weakly: "Your Majesty."

He reached out to help, but was pushed away by Huang Chao, and lay down on the bed by himself, staring at the ceiling with puffy eyes.

When I know who it is tomorrow, I will always find a way to get rid of you.
Damn, being stared at like this, how can I sleep, why is it still not dawn! !
Pieces of flickering lights shone outside through the window sills. Under the same night, in the dark city, a certain house was lit with fire. Geng Qing hadn't fallen asleep yet. In the warm yellow lights, something was written with a pen. Outside From time to time, the assassin's screams sounded, which made people feel unbearable.

Da da!

Just after writing a few words, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Yunxiang stood in the aisle outside, "Uncle, there are people coming back from outside."

The sound of writing in the room stopped, Geng Qing put down the brush and opened the door to come out, following the direction the woman pointed, besides the assassin who was tied to the treadmill by Dou Wei running wildly under the tree, there was another person standing by and watching With relish.

"Boss Wang!"

Geng Qing went down the stairs and cupped her hands towards the back over there. Hearing the words, Wang Feiying quickly turned around and clasped her fists in return, "Feiying greets the servant."

After finishing speaking, he approached, whispered a few words in the young man's ear, raised his hand again, and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask a question.

"Where did the servant buy this instrument of torture?"

Afterwards, he was dismissed by Geng Qing angrily, and Dou Wei came over and stood aside with his chest open, looked at the gate of the courtyard with thick chest hair, and whispered: "Sir, why don't we kill him directly."

He made a beheading gesture.

"It's easy to kill, but if you kill it, what will happen to so many soldiers in Huangchao in the city? Chaos will inevitably arise, just like the chaos caused by the killing of Dong Zhuo in Chang'an at the end of the Han Dynasty. I am afraid that they will all be destroyed by them.”

Looking at the panting assassin on the 'treadmill', Geng Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Collide, divide, suppress, and make them suspicious of Huangchao, that's the best time. I lost all 26 companies back then, including the top [-] companies. I can't handle a grassroots team? "

"Sir, what is a company?"

Geng Qing glanced at Dou Wei who was approaching curiously, and pushed his face away, "Torture your assassin well, if you don't tell the truth, I'll let him kill fish for 30 years without paying him a cent!"

"But, if you say so."

Stopping in his footsteps, Geng Qing bent down and picked up the little fox at his feet, stroking the fluff. While the red fox squinted his eyes comfortably, he looked at the fish over there, and nodded with a smile.

"I will give more and more value than what the other party gives."

On the 'treadmill', the thin man with his hands tied raised his face and squeezed out a smile: "My heart has long been worn down to the cold, why didn't you say this earlier and I'll tell you the truth."

He turned his face and looked at the man who tortured him.

"Brother, my family is gone, let me go quickly"

Soon, the intention of coming and the identity of the murderer were revealed one by one. Geng Qing was standing in the lantern under the eaves with the red fox in his arms, looking across the courtyard, the old tree was swaying and dancing, and the leaves were falling.

Early the next morning, before dawn, someone from the palace invited him to court.

　Only one update tonight.
