Eagle Archer's Gale Sword

() Now that we have decided to travel to Junshan, the itinerary will be changed, but it is still early, and everyone is not in such a hurry to go on the road, Guo Jing went to learn martial arts with the old naughty boy again.

"Lan'er, we have to go back to the Yellow River Gang later." Hou Qingyun took Xia Gulan's hand and sat by the river, and said, "I made a good idea to help you plan the itinerary before, do you mind?"

"Qingyun, we are... both husband and wife, why are you being so polite with me? Where are you going, I will accompany you all the way!"

Xia Gulan felt nauseous after saying a few words, so she stopped talking, flamboyance was not her style, she told Hou Qingyun clearly with clear and firm eyes what it means to stand together through thick and thin.

Hou Qingyun sighed in his heart: Husband and wife, this is really a heavy word.

Fortunately, in this world, he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and accommodation is not a problem. There is even an evil force behind him—the Yellow River Gang to rely on...

The starry night is lonely, only the chirping of insects and frogs, the silly girl is already snoring loudly after eating and drinking, Xia Gulan also goes to bed early to rest, Hou Qingyun is bored looking at the faint candlelight, and suddenly understands one thing: the ancients lived at night. What else can you do besides play the artificial movement?

He accidentally touched the head of Xia Gulan's bed, looked at the beautiful woman's murmuring sleeping face, sighed, turned around to practice internal skills, but was held by a catkin.

He turned his head to look, and happened to meet Xia Gulan's watery eyes...

Tonight was destined to be an uneasy night, Hou Qingyun didn't notice anything in Niujia Village, but Lin'an City was brightly lit all night.

On the long street, from time to time, teams of forbidden soldiers galloped by. Anyone who dared to wander in the street was arrested. The inner three floors and the outer three floors of the palace were surrounded by countless forbidden soldiers. The torch lit up the long dragon, and under the flickering light, it was solemn and desolate.

Liang Shanbo led a group of men and galloped to the west gate of the palace, and asked the general guarding the west gate: "How is the situation at the west gate, is there any change?"

The general guarding the gate said solemnly: "Reporting to my lord, there is no change. Before, several guards of the imperial city came forward to inquire, but they were all stopped and driven away by the humble officer."

Liang Shanbo said in a deep voice, "Well done! Remember, guard the palace gates tonight. As long as anyone dares to enter or leave the palace, no matter whether it is eunuchs, maids or relatives of the emperor, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Liang Shanbo galloped away again with his men and horses, and saw that the direction was to go to the palace gate on the other side.

Outside the Hall of Renming, two rows of imperial guards held torches and illuminated the entire hall like daytime. The female general in the lead was heroic, wearing a red cloak and grinning. She held a long sword and looked solemn.

Several guards and eunuchs who tried to go out before were cut down with a single knife, and their corpses were left on the spot. This horrifying situation only made the maids and eunuchs who served Empress Yang pale and anxious.Suddenly there was a quarrel ahead,

The female military general led a group of tough imperial guards forward, and saw two civil servants with a dozen bodyguards arguing with the former army. One of the tall and thin civil servants sternly said, "Which department do you belong to?" , actually dared to block the Hall of Renming, do you want to rebel?"

The female general stepped forward and said: "Assassins have been rampant these past few days. We are ordered by the emperor to guard the Palace of Renming here to protect the queen. Who are you?"

The civil official snorted, and said: "I am Yang Shi, the younger brother of Empress Yang, and this lord is Shi Gu, the nephew of Mr. Shi! What, is our status enough, why don't you let us go?"

The female general winked at the imperial guards beside her, and said, "Very well, my lord, please come this way—"

Yang Shi showed a contemptuous smile, just took a few steps, the smile froze, he felt a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, the female general stabbed out with a sword, pierced Shi Gu's throat in an instant, and hit Yang Shi In the horrified gaze, another sword was thrust into his chest.

The imperial guards like tigers and wolves on both sides rushed forward with knives, cutting down all the guards brought by Yang Shi and Shi Gu.

Blood was flowing all over the place, but the female general wiped off the blood stained on the long sword calmly, and commanded a team of people to clean up the corpse in a leisurely manner, only to hear her calmly say: "These assassins pretended to be relatives of the emperor late at night, trying to infiltrate The Hall of Renming is out of order, and has already been punished."

Inside the Xuande Hall, a group of court officials who usually call the wind and rain are sitting or standing, some of them are hesitant and at a loss, some are pale, and some have ironic smiles on their faces.

At this moment, the prime minister of the court, Shi Miyuan, who is a political adviser and privy ambassador, is also sitting on the grand teacher's chair in a daze, with his eyes blank, staring blankly at the solemn imperial guards on the three floors inside and outside the Xuande Hall , muttering to himself: "How could this be so, how could Zhao Mian's child have the upper hand?"

Hearing teams of imperial guards roaring and rushing past outside the hall from time to time, all the officials whispered to each other, feeling anxious in their hearts.After a while, an official wearing red court uniform staggered in. Seeing his appearance, Shi Miyuan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Inspector Li, do you have any news about Empress Yang?"

This inspector Li is the inspector Li that Hou Qingyun met on the Qinhuai River back then. He is Shi Miyuan's confidant Li Zhixiao. The Hall of Renming was sealed off, Yang Shi and Shi Gu were charged with misconduct, and they were killed on the spot!"

Shi Miyuan was stunned with a 'buzz' in his head: "A step behind others, is it going to be completely ruined?"

"No, it must not be like this!" Shi Miyuan came back to his senses, a look of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Master Liang, come here."

Shi Miyuan summoned Liang Chengda, and he solemnly said to Li Zhixiao and Liang Chengda, "You two go find Xia Zhen right now, and ask him to mobilize the Inner Hall Zhi and Yu Long Zhi two forbidden troops in the name of suppressing rebellion. , launch a military remonstrance, blockade the palace, expel the prince's subordinates, if there is any obstruction, shoot to kill!"

Li Zhixiao and Liang Chengda looked at each other, feeling chills in their hearts: "The two men and horses are like fire and water, this will surely bring about a disaster in the palace, is Enxiang going to put all his eggs in one basket?"

But in the current situation, Ning Zong is at stake. Once Zhao Mian ascends the throne, Shi Miyuan will undoubtedly die. As Shi Miyuan's confidantes, they are naturally doomed. Look for Xia Zhen.

The two wanted to leave the Xuande Hall, but the gatekeeper stopped them and said coldly: "Only enter, not exit."

Liang Cheng said angrily: "How unreasonable!" Just as he was about to force his way out, the general didn't stop him, but said with a playful face: "Those who take half a step outside the hall, stretch out their hands, stamp their feet, stick out their heads Well, cut off your head."

"you dare!"

Sensing the murderous intent in the general's eyes, Li Zhixiao and Liang Chengda were stern, but they didn't have the guts to test whether the general dared to do what he said.

"Now I can only hope that Xia Zhen can come to the rescue in time!" The two looked at each other and retreated into the hall helplessly.

Not long after, a young general strode into the Xuande Hall surrounded by the tough imperial guards. All the officials saw that the young general was tall and tall, with a face like a crown jade. He looked like a weak crown at most, but he acted like no one else. Stepping in, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The young general glanced at the court officials, and when he saw Shi Miyuan and the others, he smiled slightly and said in a loud voice: "The commander-in-chief of the palace, Xia Zhen, colluded with thieves and assassins to commit treason, and he has already been killed. "

His words were like a bolt from the blue, completely extinguishing the last thoughts of Shi Miyuan and the others. The court officials in the hall are all mature old ghosts. Hearing the words, they looked different, and then looked at Shi Miyuan and the others. Just like looking at a dead person, several important court officials who were not at odds with Shi Miyuan on weekdays were even more relieved: "Old Shi, you also have today!"

Some officials saw the young general's dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, and tentatively asked, "Which department does the young general belong to?"

The young general chuckled: "I, Yang Kang, briefly describe the position of commander of the Ningwu Army."
