Huining Mansion is the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Xu Zizhen came here a few days ago when the so-called Dragon Guard Battalion was established, but it was only during the day, and he left the city not long after staying for a long time and went to the sterile ghost village. He didn't even have a good tour.
Circle, he has always had a misunderstanding in his thinking, that is, not long after the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the so-called capital was at most similar to some counties in the Song Dynasty, but now it seems to be very prosperous and lively.
Seeing him in a daze, Liu Quan couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Sanshun, is this your first time back to Ning Mansion? How about it, it's a lot more lively than your hometown, right?"
Xu Zizhen simply pretended to be entering the city, smacking his lips and said: "My dear mother, it's already midnight and there are so many people, how dare you not sleep at night?"
Liu Quan laughed, pulled him and walked towards the restaurant, saying: "It's time to go to bed now and take a walk. The wine in this restaurant is good. Let's have a few cups."
Xu Zizhen asked curiously: "Brother, do you often come to Huining Mansion?"
Liu Quan suddenly became a little hesitant and said: "I've been here a few times, but I don't think I come often."
Xu Zizhen didn't ask any more questions and followed him into the building. There was a waiter at the door who led him in. The hall on the first floor was already full. Finally, there was a table in the corner of the second floor. The two of them didn't choose. After sitting down, they ordered two
A pot of wine and a few side dishes, the waiter yelled to place the order, and Xu Zizhen glanced around habitually.
The two of them sneaked out to drink in the middle of the night, so they couldn't wear the uniforms of the Hulong Camp. Xu Zizhen was dressed in a rustic style, while Liu Quan was a talented person and dressed in a cool way. He looked like a poor relative from the countryside brought by a rich man from the city.
It seemed like he was witnessing a big scene, but he didn't attract anyone's attention.
Not long after, the food and drinks came. Liu Quan poured a full glass for Xu Zizhen, picked up his own glass and said, "Brother Sanshun, you and I are brothers from now on. I hope that Brother Sanshun will take care of you."
"It's easy to talk about." Xu Zizhen drank it all in one gulp with a smile, and said with a grin, "Enough."
Liu Quan smiled and said: "There are many strong liquors in Shangjing restaurants, but rice wine and yellow rice wine from the south are hard to come by. If Brother Sanshun is not used to drinking, I will find some for you someday." After saying this, he winked at Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen was stunned, but soon understood what he meant. Finding it was not buying it. Different words naturally have different meanings. This kid probably didn't know which house he wanted to steal from. Needless to say, he relied on his own light skills.
, I don’t know if this kid does anything else besides stealing wine. Looking at his fair face, he might have been a flower picker in the past.
The street was still brightly lit and bustling, and a huge silhouette lurked in the darkness in the distance, which was the palace of the Kingdom of Jin. Xu Zizhen drank slowly while holding a wine glass, chatting with Liu Quan, and looking at
But I glance there from time to time.
How to get in and find Zhao Chang?
This proposition has troubled Xu Zizhen for many days. Originally, he still had a vague sense of looking down on the Jin Kingdom's palace. The Jurchen clan only rose to power within a few years, and their palace was probably not much bigger than the courtyard of the old wealthy landlord. But now he has changed his mind.
He was disdainful because he found that the Jinren's palace was not much smaller than the Zhao family's in Bianjing.
But no matter what, Xu Zizhen never gave up the idea of going to the palace to find someone. When he came to Shangjing alone, he never thought that he could go back easily and peacefully, so this was also the reason why he didn't alarm anyone. He did think about leaving God alone.
The machine battalion was transferred to help. With Bu Fen Tang Lun He and Liang Liang, their success rate would naturally be much higher. But now they are helping Yelu Dashi to open up the Western Regions. Their life is easy and comfortable, not to mention the thousands of mountains and mountains from Uighur to Shangjing.
There were steep mountains and rapids and treacherous rivers along the way. By the time they got here, it would probably be autumn.
Liu Quan suddenly whispered in front of him: "Brother Sanshun, go to bed as soon as you get back. Don't let the commander find out that we have sneaked out, otherwise it will not be fun to get beaten with sticks. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to come out again in the future."
Xu Zizhen's heart moved, yes, no one was watching that bullshit Dragon Guard Camp. It was easy to sneak out. The city wall of Huining Mansion was not heavily guarded. Didn't Liu Quan just casually climb over and no one noticed it?
?
Damn it, it’s just a matter of fact!
Xu Zizhen made up his mind. Since the Dragon Guard Camp was not on duty in the palace, he would just choose a dark and windy day to enter the palace himself.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the sound of neat and low footsteps in the distance, and then the noise on the street downstairs suddenly stopped for an instant. Xu Zizhen was surprised. He looked out the window and saw only a few diners at the tables next to the window.
Those eating and talking stopped and looked out the window without knowing what they were looking at.
Xu Zizhen was not far from the window, so he simply stood up and looked outside. He saw a group of people coming slowly from a distance, with dozens of horses guarding a soft sedan. In front of them were four road signs with the words "Avoid"
"Silence," someone familiar next to him said in a low voice, "Master Helu is so busy every day that he doesn't come back until now. It's no wonder that the Holy Family is so prosperous that even the Prime Minister is about to be surpassed by him."
Another person said: "That's natural. The fight with Nanfang is lively. Lord Helu, the privy envoy, is not the busiest."
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized, this is the privy envoy of the Jin Kingdom? No wonder it is such a pomp, but having said that, the pomp of the Jin people is much worse than that of the Song Dynasty. If we put this in the Song Dynasty, just one governor traveling alone would have more than these soldiers.
The horse followed.
He came out tonight just to visit and had no intention of causing any trouble. Not to mention that the person passing by was just a Privy Councilor. Even if Wu Qimai came in person, it was none of his business, so he took one look and planned to sit down and continue drinking.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The window of a shop that had been suspended on the street suddenly opened, and a row of crossbow arrows were fired towards the face. The cavalry in front was caught off guard and several of them were shot over.
The guard reacted very quickly, pulled out his sword and surrounded the sedan, shouting: "Protect your lord, get the assassin!"
With a few bangs, the window of the shop was smashed open, and a dozen men in black clothes jumped out from inside, holding bright steel knives in their hands and crossbows in their waists, while they were killing the soft sedan.
As he came, he shouted: "Kill Heru!"
Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly rose. The privy envoy of the Jin Kingdom was an important minister. If he could successfully assassinate him, it would undoubtedly greatly improve the morale of the people of the Song Dynasty. Although this group of assassins was small in number, Helu's bodyguards were also small.
These men were not wearing face scarves, and all of them had a look of determination on their faces. They assassinated important ministers of the country in the busy streets. They must have no intention of returning alive. Xu Zizhen sighed in his heart, he didn't know what kind of hero he was, but it was a pity that he had to die for the country.
The guards were also elites in the military. However, the incident happened in a hurry. Without preparation, more than a dozen of them were chopped down by assassins. The two assassins were extremely fast and had already approached the soft sedan. They were about to stab them with the tip of their knives.
The sedan, but at this moment there was a whistle from the roof, and several large nets fell from the sky, with lead pendants hanging on the edges of the nets. They accurately and quickly caught several assassins. The assassins were shocked and hurriedly cut them with knives.
, but it couldn't be cut, and while it was still struggling, the guard's spear arrived and stabbed randomly through the net. The assassin who was so murderous just now turned into a dead soul in an instant.
The other assassins who were covering the outside turned and retreated when they saw that the situation was not going well, but another group of black figures appeared on the roof, and a hail of arrows rained down, and the remaining few people were all killed.
The black shadow bowed to the soft sedan and then disappeared instantly. The roof returned to silence again, as if it had never appeared before.
Xu Zizhen sat back on the chair, his back covered with cold sweat.
