Scheming Prince’s Rampant Again - Chapter 202
What the emperor has is not only the ostensible brilliance, the power to control the world, the respect of thousands of people, but also the shackles of being a king, as well as all kinds of unknown dark burden.
Lu Jingyi understood this truth very early, but he didn’t really put himself in the position until now.
His eyes could see nothing but blood and death.
The sudden gunpowder explosion made the soldiers of the imperial guards in a mess. Some of them were in a panic to look for the enemy everywhere, while others were under the command of general Lei desperately trying to get close to Lu Jingyi to protect him. And this kind of chaos just gives the killers a great opportunity. Just as Bu Qingyi guessed, they put on the clothes of the soldiers of the imperial guards and mixed into the crowd, disguised as soldiers who came to protect Lu Jingyi, but under the armor there were weapons that could kill them instantly.
Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI are always on guard against the people around them. When the killers come close to their sides and attack each other suddenly, they can deal with them calmly. One is shallow, and the other is deep. The two figures move around Lu Jingyi, but they never leave, forming a solid barrier.
If Mogui is a gorgeous long sword forged by strict training, bu Qingyi is a sharp concealed weapon refined by killing. The former has a fierce sword technique, while the latter is feisty and agile. They cooperate with each other and complement each other. They are dazzled by the light and shadow of the sword, but they can’t see the enemy approaching.
Nevertheless, the situation of the mission is still precarious – in addition to the killers with 40 or 50 people, the enemy later rushed up 600 or 700 soldiers armed with guns in armor. The addition of these soldiers made up for the weakness of the killers. With the huge number of people, the mission was soon scattered, and gradually closed the encirclement with Lu Jingyi as the center.
Although Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI are powerful, they can’t stand the endless entanglement of hundreds of people. If they drag on, they will be destroyed. But if they want to escape, what about the wounded soldiers? What about the carriage carrying Nanzhu and Princess Arnold behind them? Can we just report Lu Jingqi and abandon everyone else?
When Bu Qingyi hesitated, he heard a deafening cry from the rear. Looking at it, he saw thousands of Nanming soldiers!
The soldiers of Nanming Kingdom rushed into the crowd as if they were magic soldiers. They could not help but restrain all the people who were wearing the clothes of the soldiers of Xiping forbidden army. The situation that was in danger turned over quickly.
“Protect King Jin and Princess Qingxiang. Go there and see if general Lei is there. Be sure to distinguish these soldiers from the enemy as soon as possible.”
Following the reinforcement of Nanming state, Shen Junhong appeared in front of the crowd. He calmly and methodically commanded the soldiers of Nanming. When they were properly arranged and were sure that there was no danger around, he went to the front court and saluted Lu Jingyi respectfully.
“Shen Junhong’s late arrival surprised his royal highness King Jin.”
“I want to thank Mr. Shen for the rescue. If it wasn’t for your reinforcements coming in time, I’m afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.” Lu Jingyi’s face turned white, but he still tried to keep calm. He looked at the mess of corpses around him, and frowned: “in broad daylight, they dare to block the road and commit crimes. These people are too rampant. It’s really…”
Shen Junhong did not respond to Lu Jingyi.
In fact, he hoped that he had not witnessed all this. After all, it is a great shame for a prince to expose the dirty housework of the prince’s family to outsiders.
It took a whole day to clean up the mess. Originally, there were only a few members of the mission accompanying the forbidden army who suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, although general Lei was seriously injured, his life was safe. Lei Yunwei, Liu Xiaoyi, Bai yuelang and others, because they were not the targets of the enemy and were in the rear, suffered only minor injuries.
However, in any case, Lu Jingyi and others are not relaxed.
“Judging from their skills and weapons, these killers are all peizan’s people. And then the soldiers… ” Bu Qingyi hesitated a little. After thinking about it, she said, “those soldiers are all from the northern yamen forbidden army, and they are all elite. Some of them are people that general Lei knows. It can be seen that Pei Zan and the emperor are responsible for the ambush. But if you think about it, you can see that Pei Zan has really lost money by sending so many killers at one time. It is very likely that he has all the strength left. ”
Bu Qingyi’s consolation didn’t have any effect. Lu Jingyi’s eyebrows didn’t stretch out, but his face was a little worried: “I’m afraid it’s not so simple. If you think about it carefully, this is a foreign country, and you send people to Nanming country to kill me, and you have no intention of avoiding people’s attention. Is this like the style of the emperor? ”
“Do you mean the soldiers of the Imperial Army are not sent by the emperor?” Bu Qingyi thought deeply for a long time, then she suddenly took a breath, “indeed, if the emperor has the courage to kill you openly, how can he miss so many opportunities before? You can understand the previous intention of provoking disputes between the two countries, but this kind of rough and tough means is really not what he would do. ”
“Could it be that the emperor knew that he wanted to blame his royal highness King Jin, because he was afraid of revenge after you went back, so he was in a hurry and lost his head?” Bai yuelang scratched his head and muttered, “but I still can’t believe that the sage is so wise. Although he’s a little too strict, he doesn’t look like such a mean person to send someone to assassinate King Jin! I always feel that my brain is not enough… “Lei Yunwei frowned and said, “when did your pig brain work well? Before, when we were in the imperial capital, so many things happened in just a few months, did you not even notice it? It’s so much slower than a cow
Bai yuelang, who was scolded by Lei Yunwei, was wronged, but he still felt that his guess was reasonable until he saw Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI shaking their heads.
If it is true, as Bai yuelang guessed, that the emperor is afraid of his revenge, then he can wait until they return to Xiping and let the soldiers disguise themselves as mountain bandits or thieves to attack. In this way, they can not only take advantage of geographical advantages, but also remove their suspicion and pretend to be innocent. Isn’t that better? With the emperor’s cunning and ruthlessness, we can’t miss these.
But if it wasn’t for these people sent by the emperor, who would have the power to mobilize the northern yamen forbidden army and cooperate with Pei Zan?
Seeing that Lu Jingyi and others began to show uneasiness on their faces, Shen Junhong, who had been silent all the time, sighed: “I still thought about how to tell you. Now it seems that you have guessed a few points?”
Lu Jingyi shook slightly, his face even paler, and his voice trembled a little: “over there in Xiping palace What happened? ”
“King Jin, you’d better see for yourself.” Lu Jingyi took out a stack of documents from his sleeve and handed them to him in both hands. “This is an urgent letter from the capital of Xiping, not long after you left.”
Flustered, Lu Jingyi’s trembling hand tried several times to open the letter, read it at a glance, and his eyes were full of dead ashes. His hand fell down and his letter fell to the ground. Bu Qingyi picked it up and looked at it quickly, and his face turned pale.
“Prince Is the crown prince on the throne? ”
Lu jingnian, once on the verge of being deposed, is Lu Zhaohui’s eldest son. He was born with the status of crown prince. He had been placed with countless hopes. Unfortunately, God did not give him enough ability and magnanimity to take on the future of the Communist Party. Compared with other princes, this beloved Prince felt that it was a funny joke.
In terms of talent and learning, the books that other princes can recite at the age of three can only be read by him at the age of seven or eight; in terms of Kung Fu, Lu Jingyi, who always ridicules himself as inferior to others, can easily knock him down; in terms of ability, Lu Zhaohui once taught him many easy tasks that can easily earn a good reputation, but without exception, all of them were smashed by him.
Lu jingnian is already a synonym for incompetent waste.
“Before Lu Jingyi showed off how good he was, I had a comfortable life. At least no one could threaten my crown prince status. But what happened later? He suddenly became enlightened somehow. He did everything better than me, and more and more people like him, so I became a laughing stock in everyone’s eyes Dongyang king must not understand? It’s like watching my own things being robbed by my brother Even if I want to kill him, it’s not my fault. It’s all forced by Lu Jingyi! ”
In the past, the hall of diligent government, which used to be a busy place, has become a good place for Lu jingnian and Pei Zan to talk boldly.
Looking at Lu jingnian slumped in his chair like a pool of mud, Pei Zan scorned and sneered, but on the surface he looked respectful: “the urgent documents have been sent to Nanming kingdom. Soon the whole world will know that King Jin colluded with Bu Qingyi and other killers to assassinate the emperor. The Emperor gave his life to save him. Under the emperor’s serious injury, he personally planned to let the emperor succeed. No one will doubt that everything is reasonable. ”
“What about doubt? Now, does it come true? Does anyone want to fight against me with Lu Jingyi? ” Lu jingnian, with a fierce look, slapped the table fiercely and said, “if anyone in the court is good at reading Lu Jingyi, or wants to clear his name, I will punish all the nine nationalities! No, kill the ten! Either respect me as emperor, or die for all
“I will comply with the order.” Pei Zan wrote down Lu jingnian’s intention on a piece of paper, pretending to be casual and saying, “has the emperor ever thought about what to do if the people he sent failed to kill Lu Jingyi and bu Qingyi? Although I have asked Nanming to help kill them, I really have a chance… ”
“Do you still need to ask me about such trifles? I’ve granted you the state of Dazhu, not to let you come and ask me about everything. Can’t you just deal with it yourself? ”
Lu jingnian was very impatient. He jumped out of his chair and stretched himself. He was about to go out.
“It’s not early. I’m going to those new beauties in Chongqing. If anything happens in the former dynasty, just look after it. If it’s not special, don’t bother me!”
Lu jingnian looks back at Pei Zan.
“No matter what method you use, you must make sure that Lu Jingyi will not appear in front of me alive again!”
