Wu Han rushed up to the pretty woman and punched her directly in the face. The pretty woman lowered her body to dodge, and at the same time threw out a sword, hitting Wu Han's chest. Wu Han shook his body, moved half a meter laterally, and dodged away.
The opponent's sword edge.
The pretty woman waved her hand, and then swung her sword across Wu Han's neck. Wu Han did not retreat but advanced, with a strike like lightning, and slapped the pretty woman's arm with his palm, causing the opponent's sweeping sword to stop abruptly.
He punched forward with his other hand continuously, one punch to the opponent's face, one to the opponent's throat, and one to the opponent's chest.
He punched three times in a row, forcing the pretty woman to take three big steps back. Wu Han followed up with an arrow and hooked his toes on the ground, sending a scattered bullet flying into the air.
Wu Han chased after the pretty woman and punched her both ears with both fists.
The pretty woman couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to retreat. Wu Han missed the attack, stretched his right hand back, and just caught the saucer that fell from the air. He swung his arm forward, and the saucer flew out, hitting the pretty woman in the middle.
forehead.
A snapping sound was heard in the helix of the ear, the flying saucer shattered, and the beautiful woman screamed in pain and fell on her back.
As Wu Han rushed forward, he caught a fragment of a dish that fell in the air between his fingers. When he got close to the woman, he first pressed one knee on her chest to prevent her from moving, and then punched her on the arm holding the sword.
He turned the corner, causing his sword attack to fail midway. Then, holding the plate fragment between his fingers, he stabbed the beautiful woman's throat fiercely, and said in a fierce voice: "I want your life!"
"
At this time, Liu Xiu shouted loudly: "Zi Yan, let her live!"
The fragments between Wu Han's fingers were already pressed against the woman's neck, and the sharp edges of the fragments had pierced the skin of her neck. However, Liu Xiu's voice made Wu Han's movements suddenly stop.
He hesitated for a moment, flung away the fragments in his hand, grabbed the beautiful woman's hair, and pulled her up from the ground. Then he punched her hard, hitting the woman on the top of her head with a thud.
The pretty woman's body that had just been pulled up suddenly fell to the ground again, and what remained in Wu Han's hand was a large handful of broken hair.
When it comes to being ruthless and ruthless, Wu Han is famous for his cruelty. There has never been any sympathy for others with him.
The other party hurt his woman, which was like stabbing Wu Han in the trachea. If it weren't for Liu Xiu's voice, the beautiful woman would have died in his hands.
The assassins disguised as Baixi troupe had already lost more than half of their lives in just a moment, and the remaining people were already surrounded by Long Yuan, Xu Ying and other Yulin Guards. Liu Xiu stood on the steps with a sword in one hand, looking at
The assassin who was still resisting said loudly: "You can sneak into the palace because of your ability, but you should also know that you only have one chance to attack me. If you fail once, you will die next!"
An assassin suddenly raised a crossbow machine, pointed it at Liu Xiu, moved the hanging knife, clicked, the crossbow string flicked, and a crossbow arrow flew out as fast as lightning, straight to Liu Xiu's face.
Liu Xiu didn't even dodge, he just hit the Chixiao sword with a casual wave of his hand. Hearing a clang, the crossbow bolt flew far away.
"Kill -" Long Yuan roared angrily and took the lead to attack the remaining assassins. The surrounding Yulin guards also swarmed up, stabbing the assassins with halberds and spears from all directions.
Puff, puff, puff! The sound of sharp blades piercing through the body was heard endlessly. In just a moment, several more assassins fell down, and the remaining assassins were forced to huddle up, but it was no use. Facing the crowds of people around them, the Habayashi Guards were already
Hard to fly with wings.
Liu Xiu turned back to look at Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua and others who were pale, and asked: "How is it? Are you hurt?"
Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua and others all shook their heads. Guo Shengtong asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, they... who are they?"
"Young man!" Liu Xiu originally thought that by getting rid of Ruan Xiu, the assassin's arrogance had been suppressed. Unexpectedly, the assassin became more aggressive and now even dared to sneak into the palace to commit murders.
He took a deep breath, sheathed his sword, then walked down the steps, approached Deng Yu, took Liu Yang from his arms, and asked: "Zhonghua, are you hurt?"
Deng Yu was fine. He was just hit by an assassin. He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, as long as the fourth prince is not hurt!"
Liu Xiu lowered his head and looked at Liu Yang. The latter was so frightened that he cried loudly. Now he stopped crying. He was staring at a pair of big black eyes and looking around curiously. Liu Xiu raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Yang'er
fine."
After saying that, he turned his eyes and looked at Qin Zihua, who was lying on the side with a pale face and bleeding profusely on his shoulder.
He was really surprised that the woman he hated the most could step forward in a critical moment and was willing to bear the sword in order to save Yang'er.
He took out the handkerchief from his cuff, pressed it on the wound on Qin Zihua's shoulder, and shouted to the chamberlain who was standing aside stupidly: "Go and ask for the imperial doctor quickly!"
The waiter on the side, who was just waking up from a dream, responded quickly and hurried out.
Wu Han strode over and saw Qin Zihua covered in blood. His whole heart clenched and he stuttered a little when he spoke, saying: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Zihua, she... she..."
"She's fine, Ziyan, don't be nervous." Seeing Wu Han still panicking, Liu Xiu's face darkened and shouted: "I promise she's fine, just calm down!"
In this world, if anyone can suppress Wu Han, it must be Liu Xiu. His voice really calmed down Wu Han, who was helpless. He squatted aside and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to
Let Weichen come!"
Liu Xiu pressed Qin Zihua's wound with a handkerchief, and his hands were stained with blood. How could the emperor do such dirty work? Moreover, even Liu Xiu and Wu Han could not do it if men and women were not close to each other.
To endure such 'close' contact between him and Qin Zihua.
Wu Han took Liu Xiu's handkerchief, replaced Liu Xiu, and continued to press Qin Zihua's wound. At the same time, he comforted softly: "Zihua, please be patient, the imperial doctor will be here soon!"
Looking at Wu Han who was eager to protect his wife, Liu Xiu shook his head helplessly, stood up, and raised his eyes to look at the assassins. The remaining assassins were also dead, and those who were captured were captured. The fight in the hall
It's all over.
Liu Xiu looked around the hall and asked: "Who brought this troupe of operas into the palace?"
Everyone present looked at each other.
In Dachangqiu, Chen Zhi trotted up to Liu Xiu, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... it's a slave! I deserve to die! I deserve to die..." As he spoke, he
Kowtow forward.
Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Chen Zhi and he frowned. Of course he was no stranger to Chen Zhi. Before he became emperor, Chen Zhi was his dependents. After he became emperor, most of his dependents received a sum of money.
Feng Hou's reward went home, but Chen Zhi was one of the few people who was willing to stay, and voluntarily accepted the castration and served in the palace.
Chen Zhi is a person with a narrow mind and a vicious style. Liu Xiu doesn't like this person very much, but he still knows Chen Zhi very well. Once he recognizes his master, he will definitely be loyal to his master. The reason why Chen Zhi agrees
Accepting the castration and serving in the palace was largely due to Guo Shengtong.
Liu Xiu didn't believe that Chen Zhi deliberately brought assassins into the palace. He stared at Chen Zhi for a while and asked, "Where did you find this troupe of actors?"
"He... they are the He Family Troupe, an old troupe that has been established in Luoyang for more than ten years. Over the years, they have been invited to perform all the operas in the palace. This time... I don't know what to do this time.
What happened, why...why did so many assassins sneak into the Hejia troupe..."
"Where is the leader of the troupe?" "Your Majesty, the leader is here!"
Two Yulin guards dragged the body of a middle-aged man to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu took two steps forward, lowered his head and took a closer look. There was no external injury on the middle-aged man's body. His face was blue and his lips were black. Apparently,
This person died of poisoning.
Deng Yu stepped forward, carefully inspected the body, and said: "Your Majesty, if what Dachangqiu said is true and this troupe has been established for more than ten years, then the leader may have been coerced by the assassin, and he was also
Killed by an assassin."
Liu Xiu squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. He looked at Luo You and asked her with his eyes if there was anyone she knew among these assassins.
Luo You took a look at the assassin's corpse one by one, and finally shook her head at Liu Xiu, saying that there was no one she knew.
Her feedback surprised Liu Xiu. Currently, the core figures of Si Ah Middle School, Ruan Xiu, Guan Ying, and Qi Zhong are all dead. Their apprentices have basically been wiped out. The only one left is Tian Xiyi.
Tie.
If these assassins were Tian Xi's disciples, it was impossible for Luo You not to know any of them. Even if she was apprenticed to a disciple, many of her disciples had already started training, and it was impossible for Luo You not to have met any of them. After all, she was with Tian Xi.
Stayed for many years.
Could it be that these assassins are not from Si'a, then who are they?
Liu Xiu frowned and thought about it. He looked at Deng Chen and said, "Weiqing, these assassins will be interrogated by you..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Han hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to assist Wei Qing and jointly investigate this case with the Tingwei Mansion!"
Liu Xiu thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes!"
A cold light flashed in Wu Han's eyes, revealing a ruthless look. Whether he could find out the identity of the assassin was secondary. In short, he would make that woman's life worse than death.
A perfectly fine banquet was disrupted by a group of assassins whose origins were unknown. After the banquet was over, the ministers took their families home, and Liu Xiu personally carried Liu Yang, who had fallen asleep.
West Palace.
When he arrived at the West Palace, he put Liu Yang on his little bed, covered him with a quilt, looked at him for a while, and then returned to the main hall with Yin Lihua.
Liu Xiu pulled Yin Lihua to sit down, shook her head and said, "It was a good banquet, but it ended up like this."
Yin Lihua comforted her softly: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. No one expected that there would be so many assassins mixed into the troupe. Fortunately, the assassins have been brought to justice, and Yang'er is safe and sound."
After a pause, she persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Da Changqiu will not do anything to assassinate you, your Majesty should let Chen Zhi go!"
Even if Liu Xiu didn't believe that Chen Zhi would collude with the assassins, he was the one who found the troupe after all and brought it into the palace. An assassin appeared among them. Chen Zhi could only be imprisoned in Yeting until the matter was investigated.
In prison.
Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua helplessly and said: "Lihua always thinks about others. Haven't you seen that the assassin's first target is me, and the second target is Yang'er. Lihua really thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Chen Zhi
Doesn’t it matter at all?”
In other words, does it really have nothing to do with Changqiu Palace?
Yin Lihua heard the hidden meaning of Liu Xiu's words. She trembled, shook her head repeatedly, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Queen will not do such a thing!"
Liu Xiu sighed softly and said: "I also want to believe that this matter has nothing to do with Chen Zhi, and it has nothing to do with the Queen. When the Tingwei Mansion completes the investigation of the case, the truth will naturally come out."
Yin Lihua was silent for a while, then changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty has always looked down upon Qin Zihua before. If Qin Zihua hadn't stepped forward to save him tonight, Yang'er would have been injured in the hands of the assassin.
Got it!"
The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised, revealing a wry smile, and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that woman to save Yang'er regardless of her life." Facts speak louder than words. Liu Xiu had to admit that this time he was serious.
