Chapter 415 Night Attack
Under the night, shadows swayed densely, and they were approaching quietly from the north and south.
In front is the residence of King Xin.
The Jinyiwei arranged a large number of men and women openly and secretly, and he dared not say that he was surrounded by people. The momentum was absolutely daunting.
The quiet yard of the royal palace is like a dying beast. The lights of the past are no longer bright, and only the stars are lit in the backyard room.
For a circle of bright torches, there is one every three or five meters. The Jinyiwei is not necessarily on guard on the left and right, but there are two groups of mobile posts on duty outside.
The neat line was rumbling, and the clanging sounds made by the armor and the embroidered spring sword seemed to be emitting a smell of blood.
However, the peace was broken.
There was no sign or roar, and the sound of a bowstring suddenly came from the air, and the sound was neat, like a knife cutting paper.
The next moment, the sky was filled with rain of arrows.
The unlucky guy fell to the ground without even saying a word. The wounded shouted shrillly: "Enemy attacks, enemy attacks!"
The whistle soared into the sky, and received a signal from the Jinyiwei threw the fire to form a formation. He rushed into the palace without hesitation, and based on the residence of King Xin, he prepared to defend the city.
"Hey, what are you doing? Do you want to break into the palace without any brains?"
The lacquered gate of the royal palace was originally tightly closed, but it was knocked down by the Jinyiwei without hesitation, and ignored the obstruction of the royal palace servants. It rushed in, like the Yellow River breaking the dam and the torrents rushing, and it was impossible to stop it at all.
The housekeeper was frightened and kept shouting at the top of his throat, but his feet seemed to be glued, firmly fixed in place.
A clerk who was not clear-headed rushed up to try to stop him, but before he could even say it, his head was cut off.
The huge head rolled around on the ground, scaring the butlers' hands and feet cold.
"Report, sir, the enemy's entire horse team is very good at riding and shooting, the battle formation is uniform, the advance and retreat are well-founded, and it has a bit of the smell of the Black Arrow Team, but..."
At the beginning of the attack there, Gao Ning received news.
As expected, Zhu Youjian was a person with deep thoughts. Since he had taken action, he must have spare methods.
It is obvious to some people in the army.
Perhaps, if Guo's plan cannot be successful, someone in the palace will start to take action quietly.
With intentional arising but not intent, one after another, there are endless malicious intentions. With the child of Emperor Tianqi, he is obsessed with carpenters and ignores the actions of the government. He can escape the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Moreover, in Gao Ning's opinion, it is still unclear whether there is Wei Zhongxian's pusher behind this.
Emperor Tianqi was in his teens and had eight years passed. He had grown up. As he gradually became sensible and restrained his mind, he might have to take charge of the government at any time.
Even Guangxu, who had been frustrated for a lifetime, would have to struggle with the reform of 1898. As the emperor who had no mother on his head, he might suddenly have the power one day.
Will Wei Zhongxian still survive?
It is not just empty talk to keep the birds covered with bows. Throughout history, those who do not believe in evil have died on this.
With Wei Zhongxian's shrewdness, could he not think of this?
He was just an ordinary personal eunuch, and he was in power because of assisting the young emperor. Seeing that the situation was going to get worse, it was not impossible to use the same trick again.
He thought that with his own power and ability, he could still hold the next little emperor in his hand.
But he didn't expect that Chongzhen was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Therefore, Gao Ning was not surprised that the elite cavalrymen affiliated to the East Factory were mobilized.
And six days ago, I had already prepared something.
"Don't say nonsense, I'll order you to keep your door in your door and guard it according to your mansion. You'll be divided into a team of people to patrol the palace, block the garden, and send someone to speak with His Highness King Xin.
It is said that a large number of assassins have made ill-intentioned plans against His Highness King Xin, and some may have been involved in the position of stewards and slaves, ready to cooperate inside and outside.
If you find someone blocking the Jinyiwei's action, no matter who you are killed, you will understand if you understand!"
The slogan shocked all households: "Sir, this is the residence of King Xin..."
Gao Ning had a blank expression on his face: "I'm asking you, have you heard it clearly?"
The following words were said word by word, coupled with emotionless eyes, which made the households frightened, as if they saw a man-eating tiger, and a chicken nodded quickly like a rice pecking at it, and then ran away and disappeared.
The two Qianhu, who rushed to listen, but wisely did not interrupt, looked at him as if he had seen Gao Ning for the first time.
Gao Ning was too lazy to pay attention to it.
If I am obedient, I don’t mind trying to pull you. If I dare to sing the opposite tune with me, I’m sorry. The Qianhu of the Jinyiwei is nothing great, maybe I’m a treacherous court.
If you die, you will die.
There are not many other people in the Ming Dynasty today, but there are many people who want to be officials, and ten of them are waiting for substitutes.
If he dared to point fingers, Gao Ning really didn't mind sending them to see the King of Hell.
"As for the assassins outside..."
Gao Ning sat calmly on the Taishi chair, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, and said, "Let me leave it to you!"
"yes!"
A man suddenly turned from behind Gao Ning, clasped his fists coldly, turned around and left.
The moment he stepped into the yard, the figures around him swayed, and the people watching him felt a flash of sight, and each person suddenly turned into twenty-four.
The same Jinyiwei dress, the same cold and silent appearance, gives people a different feeling.
Qianhu, the surname Liu, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the next moment, he was winked by another Qianhu.
Qianhu surnamed Liu immediately closed his mouth.
They are not fools either.
After a few days, I also got a little understanding of this lucky villain, "Shen Lian".
This guy is really cold.
No face at all.
A few hundred households who were thrown out to test were fine at that time, but they were gone in a blink of an eye, and they were not ordinary black.
What's even more strange is that the Jinyiwei under "Shen Lian" was originally dispatched from the yamen, and most of them had followed other thousand households before, so they shouldn't have been so sincere.
The two looked at each other and remained silent.
...
On the outside of the royal palace, two huge shadows had slowly deformed and unfolded as the battle formation was advancing, and completely surrounded the Xinwang Mansion.
The arrows kept stopping, but the effect was no longer as good as before.
Lu Wenzhao was dressed in black, with a dark horse under his crotch, and a crossbow on his back mingled among the crowd. Next to him was a cold eunuch with a pale face.
"Old Lu, the zodiac family is as you said. This wave of manpower, plus the soldiers who blocked the five cities, have a total of 5,000 people.
But when I see the actions of the Jinyiwei, why did he directly shrink? Didn’t you say that Shen Lian is impulsive and easily influenced by emotions, and once he finds out, he will fight without hesitation?
What's going on?"
Lu Wenzhao's face twitched and cursed in his heart: What's going on? I still want to know what's going on.
It was obvious that everything had been calculated, and it was very careful in every step, and I had to do it again and again, but I didn't expect to take a look at the most critical person.
Deep and refine, you hide it so deeply!
