Emperor Wanchang had already turned around. Naturally, he didn't know that there were three starlights attacking his back. And even if he knew, it would be useless. He couldn't avoid it at all. Although the royal men of the Wei Dynasty all took martial arts when they were young, this Two hundred years later, the ancestral precepts set at the founding of the country have become a bit formal. After all, as long as men from the direct royal family do not make big mistakes, they can at least become kings when they grow up. Martial arts is really of no use to them.
Just because the emperor couldn't see it didn't mean that the people around him couldn't see it either. As soon as those three rays of light came out, there were at least six people around the emperor who clearly saw this scene.
Yunzheng is one of them
Since the first mystery came out, he has not joined in the fun. The two young masters of the Shen family and the two young masters of the Gu family each led a group of officials to fight with each other. He only watched on the side. Smiling has always been a sign of literati looking down on each other since ancient times. The Shen and Gu families are both famous for their literary reputation. Even if it is just a riddle, they must compete with each other. Yun Zheng is not very interested in this. He has already made enough limelight in the past few times. , even uttered such wild words as "The arrogant Corporal, leaving Nishan alone", there is no need to show off at this lantern party now, he is really not very good at lantern riddles, so he hides his clumsiness is a good choice
So he followed the emperor to enjoy the lanterns in Luoyang. In fact, he was quite regretful about this lantern party, because according to the rules, the thirteenth princess could not come out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns together. She could only stay in the palace to accompany her mother and concubine. For this reason, Yun Zheng was a little absent-minded. However, when Emperor Wanchang threw the lanterns and caused people to loot them, Yun Zheng suddenly felt some alarm in his heart: These people seemed a little bit question
This is not the future. No one thinks that people are equal, and the people respect the emperor from the bottom of their hearts. Even if these people really support Emperor Wanchang, there is no reason not to kneel down before the emperor. Knocking the mountain and shouting long live, he rushed over to grab the lamp. From then on, he began to collect his thoughts and pay attention to the emperor's expression. As expected, Emperor Wanchang was also a vigilant person. He soon discovered that these people were a little over-enthusiastic and frowned.
However, just when Yunzheng thought that he would order the Imperial Guards to keep the people at a distance, Emperor Wanchang just turned around and walked towards the lantern tower. It seemed that he did not intend to order to prevent the people from approaching the emperor, but he still knew how to win the hearts of the people. Yunzheng He thought to himself, but just as he was about to follow Emperor Wanchang in, three cold lights came out!
Yunzheng's eyes suddenly lit up! Someone is assassinating the emperor!
In addition to Yun Zheng, Zhou Jun, Leng Xiang, and Jiang Tao, as well as Lin Jian, the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard Army, and Yu Xiang, the commander of the Yulin Army, were with the emperor. When the light flashed out, The five people suddenly discovered
"There is an assassin!" Lin Jian's eyes were cold, and he took a step forward with his left foot. His whole body was suddenly blocked by a ray of light that led to the emperor's back. He was a little far away from Emperor Wanchang, so he could only do this step.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Yu Xiang shouted, and with one hand, he slapped another dark light that was shooting towards him.
Three dark lights were received by Lin Jian and Yu Xiang, one each, and the remaining one was still shot towards the back of Emperor Wanchang!
Zhou Jun tightened his hands and was about to rescue him. Suddenly he noticed that Leng Xiang beside him had a gloomy face and raised his palm but did not make a move. Zhou Jun's heart moved and he thought quickly: If Wanchang were here today, what would happen to the Wei Dynasty? In the imperial court, His Royal Highness can only ascend to the throne. The two of them have no reason or opportunity to seize the throne. The prince came with our Zhou family. Secondly, if he can really ascend the throne, he will definitely need the power of our Zhou family to cooperate with him. The Central Army jointly suppressed the Yun family and the Leng family
With this thought in his mind, his hands that were full of energy suddenly stopped their movements.
Of course, Jiang Tao also discovered that someone was committing the assassination, but now he had a stunned expression on his face, as if he didn't know anything, and looked at Lin Jian and Yu Xiang who had already taken action. The most exciting thing was that he also asked The two of them cast an inquiring look, as if asking them: What's going on?
So, among the remaining four people, only Yunzheng took action decisively
Yunzheng took action, naturally not because of any reason such as being loyal to His Majesty, but because he, like Zhou Jun, knew that if Emperor Wanchang died now, only the prince's faction would benefit. He took Zhou Jun and Leng Xiang's actions and expressions seriously Looking at it, to be honest, Zhou Jun's behavior was normal, but it was strange that Leng Xiang didn't take action. Only the prince would benefit from the emperor's death. Neither the Yun family nor the Leng family would suffer, so why didn't he take action? But this At this time, Yun Zheng couldn't help but think too much. He didn't want the emperor to die and the prince to ascend the throne, so he had no choice but to rescue him.
The rescue of the emperor was for political purposes, so Yun Zheng shook his body in an imposing manner and shouted angrily: "Who dares to assassinate the emperor! It's not too late to get past me, Yun Chengfeng, first!"
It is indeed a bit artificial and shameless to say this, but it is very necessary. Even if it is really shameless, no one will stand up and say that Yunzheng is not half the world's crows. The only difference is who is blacker than who. There is no blackness at all. The difference between being black and not black, so the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother, that’s all
Although Yunzheng was showing off on his lips, he was not just showing off with his hands. He took a majestic step, not using the technique of catching a hidden weapon at all, but accumulating power with his right palm, and then without any lag. The ground suddenly shot out, relying on the wind of the palm to meet the incoming hidden weapon
Generally speaking, this style of play is wrong because most hidden weapons are wind-breaking. For example, a flying knife is not difficult to deflect from the side. However, if you use the wind of your palm to catch it hard, the result will most likely be that the flying knife will penetrate it. The palm passed by, but Yunzheng directly used the wind of his palm to meet the dark light, because he had clearly seen the shape of the hidden weapon, which was a spear, so he took a trick, and this palm seemed to be He went straight to meet him, but actually he missed it a little. Although it wasn't much, the power of the Cloud-Pailing Palm was enough to deflect the spear away.
"Crack!" There was a sound
As expected, as Yun Zheng expected, the spear that was aimed at the emperor's back was shot away with a cloud-dispelling palm.
Zhou Jun and Jiang Tao could clearly see Leng Xiang who had not taken any action. Leng Xiang frowned, while Zhou Jun's face turned gloomy. Only Jiang Tao could not see the joy or anger - he still looked confused, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes. gaze
Emperor Wanchang was first surprised by Lin Jian and Yu Xiang, and then saw Yunzheng performing so hard, and finally reacted
Assassinated!
However, Yunzheng unexpectedly did not panic. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Where are the Royal Forest Army! They are not escorting you yet!" Then he quickly glanced downstairs and said coldly: "Immediately block the Suzaku Gate Royal Street. , any pedestrian on the imperial street, no one is allowed to leave without permission before the lockdown is lifted!"
Yu Xiang and Lin Jian looked at each other, each nodded. Then Lin Jian took three steps back and stood next to Emperor Wanchang. He looked attentive and alert, his eyes shining brightly as he searched the crowd. Yu Xiang then moved towards the three spear darts. One of the shots came from the direction where he jumped up and jumped down from the lamp tower. At the same time, he shouted to the two deputy commanders who were left downstairs: "There are assassins trying to assassinate your Majesty! According to the Holy Instruction: Block the Imperial Street immediately. , no one is allowed to leave without permission!"
Yun Zheng was hesitating whether he should be more active and jump in to hunt for the assassins like Yu Xiang, or whether he should look loyal and protect Emperor Wanchang.
He hesitated, but Jiang Tao and Leng Xiang did not hesitate at all. Jiang Tao looked frightened and shouted loudly: "Escort me, protect me quickly!" Then he took two steps at a time and came to Emperor Wanchang to plead guilty. : "The crime of failing to protect me is worthy of death, the crime deserves death!"
Not to be outdone, Leng Xiang stepped forward and kowtowed: "I am late to save you, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Yun Zheng was stunned. Damn, these two uncles are so shameless... If we were in Yanjing, we wouldn't even need to build the city wall.
Just as he was stunned, he heard Zhou Jun shout loudly and jump down. Yunzheng turned his head and saw him running towards the crowd, shouting: "Zhou Tongming, the eldest son of Zhou Guogong, is here, where can the traitor escape!"
I don't think I'll have a chance if I don't behave! Yunzheng hurriedly walked towards Emperor Wanchang. Just as he was about to plead guilty, he saw Lin Xu, Lin Sheng, Lin Xi and others rushing over, each one shouting "I'm guilty" from afar. You deserve to die", "His Majesty will be filled with great blessings" and other nonsense. It looked like he was about to put some garlic juice in his eyes and make them cry to express his inner anxiety and sadness. Emperor Wanchang frowned and waved his hands impatiently. : "Okay, okay, I haven't returned to heaven yet, what kind of mourning are you planning to do!"
When the three dragons heard this, they immediately kept silent, but none of them looked embarrassed.
Yun Zheng was furious in his heart. I was the only one among the four major border towns to take action against his grandma's bear. Now the three of them are begging for mercy and arresting each other. They all seem to have become pure and loyal ministers. But this young marshal is the one who took action. It’s so unreasonable to be a bystander! These three thousand-year-olds are so fucking outrageous - they have to let me say a few words to steal the scene? Damn it, even for five seconds!
He held his breath in his heart and simply didn't bother to say any more clichés he wanted to say. Anyway, we just took action. As long as the emperor is not frightened and confused, he will never forget this, and this will save the young commander from playing tricks.
At this time, there was already chaos downstairs. His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated. This was a big deal. Although His Majesty did not seem to be injured, it is not a good sign for something like this to happen during the Lantern Festival. The Royal Guards have already The road began to be closed, which made the already frightened people even more frightened, fearing that the emperor would kill all the people on this street in his anger.
Of course Emperor Wanchang would not do such a stupid thing. He glanced at everyone with a cold face. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes kept turning on the three brothers Lin Xu, Lin Sheng and Lin Xi. Yunzheng A thought crossed his mind. Could it be that the emperor suspected that one of the three brothers had committed the assassination?
