Xianyue listened to Hu's words and said: "We have to try to distract the guards. Otherwise, the longer we delay, the harder it will be to kill Wu."
Mrs. Hu lowered her head and thought for a while, then whispered into Xianyue's ear. The latter nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and fell to the ground. The next moment, Mrs. Hu panicked and said: "Come here, come quickly! The Queen has fainted.
, we have to send her out immediately, quickly!"
When all the guards in the palace heard this, they all turned around subconsciously and realized that the most distinguished person who came to Yongqing Temple to pray for blessings this time was Xianyue. If anything happened to the latter, all of them would probably not be able to escape the blame.
.
Taking advantage of the guards being stunned, the two already scarred assassins seized the opportunity to grab the knives in their hands and kill in the direction of Wu.
Seeing the assassin coming towards her, Wu was so frightened that she couldn't even scream, let alone dodge. She could only watch the two shining steel knives slashing at her, with only one thought in her mind - this
Life is over!
Seeing that Wu was about to die under the steel knife, two sharp arrows flew into the hall with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and hit the steel knife that was only a few inches away from Wu. Just "ding dong" was heard.
With two sounds, the sharp arrow hit the ground with all its strength, and the steel knife continued to chop down Wu.
However, both steel knives were deflected by sharp arrows, so in the end one steel knife missed and the other struck Wu on the shoulder. Although blood flowed freely and looked scary, it was not life-threatening!
Before the assassin could make a second stab, the guards surrounded him. At the same time, a tall figure walked in from outside the palace with a long bow in hand. He had a sickly pale face. This person was Zhaohui.
The arrow just now was shot by him; after covering his lips and coughing a few times, Zhaohui took two arrows from the guards again, put them on the long bow, and aimed at the two assassins.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" With two sounds, sharp arrows flew through the air and were inserted into the legs of the two assassins in an instant. At the same moment that they fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, several steel knives were placed on their necks.
If they move even a little bit, the sharp blade will cut their necks.
Mrs. Hu secretly clenched her hands. Zhaohui would have come sooner or later, but he came at this critical moment and saved the Wu family, so that they could not complete their work. Speaking of which, this time at Yongqing Temple, Zhaohui
Why did he suddenly appear here when he wasn't accompanying him?
While he was thinking about it, Zhaohui had already walked over and said, "The general's rescue has been late. Please forgive me, the noble concubine."
Mrs. Hu suppressed her thoughts and said, "Don't talk about this for now. The Queen has fainted. Send her back quickly."
"Yes." Zhaohui did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered someone to carefully carry Xianyue out. At the same time, Wu, who had been slashed on the shoulder and half of her body was covered in blood, also cried out in pain: "There is still me, okay
It hurts. Send me back to the palace to see the imperial doctor. I can’t stand it anymore. Hurry!”
"My lord, please be patient." Zhaohui comforted Wu and briefly bandaged her to prevent too much blood flow and damage to her life. After doing all this, she was carried back to the palace.
At this time, the commotion outside had subsided. Four assassins were killed and two were captured. On their side, in addition to a few guards, Li and Liang were seriously injured and died, and several other concubines were injured.
He was slightly injured. After arranging for the guards to escort him back to the palace, Zhaohui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He walked up to the four assassins and said coldly: "Who are you and why do you want to assassinate your empresses?"
"A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother!" Zhaohui's answer was still these seemingly inexplicable eight words.
The guard kicked the assassin hard several times and shouted: "If you don't answer honestly, I will cut off your flesh piece by piece. Tell me quickly!" However, no matter how they asked, the four assassins kept repeating these eight words,
Other than that, I can't ask anything else.
The guard said angrily: "General, these assassins are all cheap people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. They won't recruit them without torture."
Zhaohui ignored his words and just stared at the assassins. His pupils were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom of his eyes. He said slowly: "Are you from the White Lotus Sect?"
One of the assassins raised his head and sneered: "You do have some knowledge. Yes, we are disciples of the White Lotus Sect!"
Sure enough, it was the White Lotus Sect. Zhaohui's pupils shrank suddenly and said: "I didn't expect that the White Lotus Sect would revive again and dare to come here to assassinate the Queen!" As he said, he said in a more serious tone: "If you don't want to suffer physical pain, just say it.
Where is your lair!"
Although the White Lotus Sect has not appeared for many years, every time it rose up in the past, it would almost cause chaos in the world. Now that we know that they are resurrected, we must find their lair and eliminate them, otherwise there will be endless troubles!
Faced with Zhaohui's threat, the assassins laughed in unison. The person who spoke before said: "Although we failed, more people will come to kill the Dog Emperor and the Dog Queen soon. They will definitely die."
, and you Qing court thieves will all die, and we will restore the Ming Dynasty from now on!"
His words made Zhao Hui's eyes become colder and colder. This White Lotus Sect not only caused chaos, but also wanted to resist the imperial court. It was really hateful. "Take them all to the sky prison, one by one..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hui
Hui noticed that a streak of black blood was flowing from the corners of the mouths of the four assassins, and their eyes were rapidly losing their luster.
"Not good!" Zhaohui exclaimed, quickly stepped forward, grabbed one of them's cheeks, and forced him to open his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, more black blood flowed out, and at the same time, his ears
There were sounds of "thumping" one after another. When I looked up, I saw that the three assassins had fallen to the ground, their bodies still twitching slightly. The last one also fell to the ground after Zhaohui withdrew his hand.
After the guard came forward and checked, he said: "General Qi, these people should have died of poisoning." Before he finished speaking, a person next to him said: "This is impossible, we have been keeping a close eye on them, there is no way they have any
Opportunity to take poison.”
Zhao Hui said in a deep voice: "I have seen people hide the poison sac in their teeth in advance. Once they are captured, they bite the poison sac and die immediately."
Hearing what he said, the guard carefully inspected the teeth of the four people who had expired and said, "As the general said, they all had poison sacs hidden in their teeth."
Zhaohui sighed and said: "You take these four corpses to Yizhuang first and let Wu Zuo check them carefully. I will go to the palace now to report this matter to the emperor."
As for Xianyue and the others, the car drove towards the palace at a speed several times faster than when they arrived. When the eunuch guarding the palace gate was still surprised that they came back so quickly, Qi Kuan had already rushed over and said eagerly: "Queen
The empress was assassinated and fell into a coma, and several of her masters were injured. Go and call for the doctor, quickly!"
