Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 370 Assassination in the middle of the night
The dancing girl was thrown into the carriage again, but the white kitten also got in, and only the two carriages guarded by six guards continued to drive towards Hangyuan.

After entering the Hang Garden and knowing that everything was safe and that Princess Yongqing was safe, Ye Chen heaved a long sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He only waited for Lian Jicheng to bring the news Xu Xuan knew to him. return.

After driving everyone out and interrogating the dancing girl alone, Ye Chen's face became more and more serious, and he finally knew part of the conspiracy of the Maitreya Sect.

Ye Chen's guess is correct, this woman is Yu Niang, and there is indeed a very important thing to do to sneak into the palace of King Wuyue.

I don’t know if it was because the Kaifeng Maitreya Sect’s sub-helm was wiped out a month ago, causing Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun’s vigilance. This time, everyone involved in the entire plan of the Maitreya Sect in Wuyue Kingdom only knows the details of the things they are responsible for. Perhaps only Shangguan Bingyun, Lou Yanming, and the person in charge of the Wuyue Kingdom plan know about the whole plan.

For example, I only know that her mission is to assassinate King Wuyue when the female sword emperor from the Qian family on Ruyi Mountain leaves the mountain, so that the father and son of Wuyue Kingdom will be disturbed by the loss of their wives and mothers. The sword queen's attack on Ye Chen.

However, I didn't expect that Ye Chen had already learned some inside stories about Maitreya Sect from Dorothy, one of the Four Great Vajras hidden in the Maitreya Sect in the Dajiang Gang, and thus had doubts about her identity, and by the way, revealed her Get it back from the Lord of Wuyue.

Now that Niang is under the control of Ye Chen, the Maitreya Sect must change its plan. He has some guesses about what will happen in the Palace of the Lord of Wuyue, but he is not sure. He has to wait for Lian Jicheng to come back.

Outside the royal palace, in the Wei Mansion of Beicheng.

As soon as Zuo Prime Minister Wei Xin returned home, he received a note from an extremely obscure channel, with only one sentence on it: plan in advance, and prepare immediately for contingencies.

Wei Xin's face changed slightly, but then a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said to the old housekeeper beside him: "According to the channel we expected before, go and inform the governor of Hangzhou, the deputy commander of the palace guards, and the general guarding the north gate. Just plan ahead and be prepared for contingencies.”

The old butler looked at Wei Xin, a hidden sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he bowed and said yes, then took a deep breath, turned and left.

In the palace of King Wuyue, in the bedroom of Qian Hongchu, the lord of Wuyue.

The eunuch who reminded Qian Hongchu to let the five swordsmen go together at the banquet before was dead. He was killed by the Ouchi guards around Qian Hongchu, and his body had been carried out.

But he died, and most of his mission was completed.Although the Lord of Wuyue did not die, he was seriously injured, so badly wounded that he was unconscious.When the eldest son Qian Zhiyin arrived, Qian Hongchu was on the verge of dying.More than a dozen imperial doctors were sweating profusely, and they could see four words from their expressions-powerless to return to heaven.

Queen Sumanman was crying so badly that she even fainted once before.

Qian Zhiyin's eyes were red, and after crying sadly, he calmed down quickly, and shouted: "Come on, please go to Hangyuan to ask Xiang Fuhou, now only he can save the father."

Su Manman suddenly screamed: "No, the eunuch who stabbed your father just now said before he died that he was the killer of Huaxia Weifu in the Song Dynasty. Yin'er! Why are you still going to invite Ye Chen who is that damned? You should send The army killed them all to avenge your father."

Qian Zhiyin's face flushed red with anxiety, and he shouted: "Queen! You are so confused! If the assassin was sent by Ye Chen, the child was able to come back safely from Ye Chen's carriage just now. Also, if it was really sent by Ye Chen People, how could they say that they are Ye Chen's people before they die."

The queen is obviously not a dull person, but because of Qian Hongchu's death, she lost her mind for a while. After being stunned for a while, she came to her senses and cried, "What are you all doing in a daze? If you don't listen to your son, hurry up Hang Yuan invites Ye Chen to come over."

The commander of the guards and the chief eunuch bowed and said yes, the latter even ran away, and the former asked Lin Chengfeng, the deputy commander of the guards who had just rushed over, to personally escort the chief eunuch out of the palace with a team of guards.

Soon the group left the bedroom of the Lord Wuyue, and when they were about to approach the gate of the palace, a sudden change occurred. Lin Chengfeng, the deputy commander of the guards, suddenly drew his sword, and his hand was like lightning. He covered the mouth of the head eunuch, and cut the latter with a knife throat.At the same time, eight of the 12 guards in the team attacked at the same time, beheading the other four guards who looked horrified.

"He Zhong! You go and inform the Commander, and say that we were assassinated, the chief eunuch was assassinated and died, and I am dying of serious injuries. I have important information to report to him personally, so let him come over." Lin Chengfeng poured the blood from the chief eunuch onto his face Daubing it on his upper body and neck, he said quickly.

"My lord, when the Commander comes, if there are many people with him, I'm afraid we are no match." The guard named He Zhong said.

Lin Chengfeng said: "Assassins just appeared in the palace, and the king almost died. The commander must definitely leave the guards with the king and queen, and bring one or two at most."

Only then did He Zhong say yes respectfully, and ran away quickly.The other seven palace guards pretended to be vigilant and looked around.

Not long after, the guard commander who got the news rushed over with the two of them.Seeing the chief eunuch and deputy commander Lin Chengfeng lying in a pool of blood, his expression changed drastically. Without thinking about it, he squatted beside Lin Chengfeng, who was seriously injured and dying, because Lin Chengfeng said he had important information for him.

At this moment, a dagger suddenly appeared in the hand of Lin Chengfeng, who was seriously injured and dying, and stabbed the guard commander in the heart.The commander of the guards was extremely frightened and furious, and was about to dodge desperately, when he suddenly felt the sound of wind coming from behind, and his head had already flown out.At the same time, the two guards he brought were also dead.

"My lord, what should we do now?" A guard asked nervously.

Lin Chengfeng said coldly: "What are you panicking about? The three of you went out of the palace and informed the left prime minister, Lord Wei, He Lei, the guard of the north gate, and the governor of Hangzhou, saying that your majesty was assassinated and dying, and that he would not survive tonight. The Lord Commander is dead. They will know what to do."

After the three guards left, Lin Chengfeng said to another guard: "You take the token of the commanding lord, and transfer the people who are currently guarding outside the king's bedroom four times, and replace them with ours."

"He Zhong, pass on an order to let all the commanders and generals go to the Dianmao Hall at the palace gate to discuss matters." This was the last order from the deputy commander Lin Chengfeng.

...

...

In Hangyuan.

In a magnificent hall.Ye Chen looked heavy, waiting for Lian Jicheng to arrive.Sitting next to Yu Qingyan.No one else.

At this time, a black shadow flashed by, and Lian Jicheng rushed in from the door, without paying attention to salute, he said: "My lord, Xu Xuan only knows that there will be great changes in the palace of Wuyue Kingdom, and he was only sent to persuade The court officials of the Wuyue Kingdom formed an alliance with the Southern Tang Dynasty to resist our Great Song Dynasty. He guessed that someone would assassinate the Wuyue King."

Lian Jicheng's face was pale, obviously he knew the importance of this news, and he used his movements at full speed along the way, which consumed a lot of energy.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and shouted, "Come on!"

The next moment, Bai Xiaomao, who had been waiting outside the door, and other six gold medal killers, as well as Hei Yue, Feng Zhiyuan and Zhang Dawei all rushed in quickly.

Ye Chen glanced at the crowd and said, "Bai Xiaomao and Yue Zhengye go out immediately, and must kill Wei Xin, the left minister of Wuyue Kingdom tonight."

Bai Kitten and Yue Zhengye looked serious, said yes respectfully, turned and left quickly.

Ye Chen said again: "Ding Yingcai and Heiwa, you should immediately go to the intelligence department to follow the spies of the governor of Hangzhou. Zhang Xiong and Qi Bian, you should go to the intelligence department to follow the spies of the commander of the Eight Capitals, Gao Chengxiang. The four of you and the spies at the same time Keep an eye on these two, and if there are any signs of mobilizing troops to besiege Hangyuan, kill them. Feng Zhiyuan will contact Hu Sanguang for this matter and arrange it immediately. In addition, tell Hu Sanguang that he will send the Southern Tang Mission of the Protocol Academy to I'm staring at him, especially the deputy envoy."

Ding Yingcai, Hei Wa, Zhang Xiong, Qi Bian, and Feng Zhiyuan respectfully said yes, then turned and left quickly.

"Zhang Dawei, you lead people to gather the servants equipped in Hangyuan together, and let people watch them. If there is any change, kill them. Then 300 people from your special investigation department are responsible for the peripheral defense. If anyone enters Hangyuan without permission Garden, shoot to kill."

"Hei Yue, you bring two hundred black knights and four gold-medal killers to guard outside the princess's house all the time, and don't leave the princess without my order."

Zhang Dawei and Hei Yue respectfully said yes, and turned to leave.

Ye Chen finally turned around and said to Lian Jicheng and Yu Qingyan: "Lian Jicheng, Qingyan! The two of you will come with me to visit King Wuyue's palace."

Zhang Mingqing, the deputy envoy who left the palace early and returned to Hangyuan, also sensed something was wrong at this time, ran in in a panic, and said, "Master Hou, has something serious happened?"

Ye Chen said: "Master Zhang, some things may happen. If someone uses force, people from our Huaxia Weifu will deal with it. But if someone visits, you will show up and deal with it."

Zhang Qingming's complexion changed, and he respectfully said yes, but then he reacted and said, "Then where are you going, Lord Hou?"

Ye Chen said: "I brought doctors to save people, I just hope there is still a chance."

...

...

This night in Hangzhou City is destined to be an unusual night.

Lian Jicheng rested for a while, and after taking a pill given by Yu Qingyan, the zhenqi in his dantian had almost recovered.The three of them had already put on their night clothes at this time, and it was extremely difficult to be discovered under the cover of the night.Drilled out from under the prepared Hangyuan courtyard wall, there was already a black carriage parked there.

Hang Garden is not far from Wuyue King's Palace. Not long after, the three of them have touched the foot of the west of Wangchenggen. became quieter.
