Pei Dahu took the order and left. Before the head servant could walk out the door, he heard Wang Chengen shouting outside.
"How is the Lord Protector?! How is the Lord Protector?! Go and chase them! An assassin cannot let them escape! Kill them all!"
Prince Wang and more than a dozen Han generals strode into the courtyard of the Protector's Mansion as if they were in a deserted place. When they reached the living room, they were stopped by Zhao Yuanzhi, a Chinese guard.
Pei Dahu waved his hand, signaling for the eunuch to be let in.
Wang Chengen walked into the main hall and saw Liu Zhaosun leaning against a pillar with his eyes slightly closed, his hands and face covered with blood. He also saw Mrs. Gaoming's body lying on the spot, and he immediately burst into tears:
"God damn Li Xianzhong, damn the Donglin Party! Damn Rakshasa ghosts! Damn the White Lotus Sect! How dare you murder the Lord Protector! Before our family could even see the Lord Protector for the last time, he and Mrs. Gaoming both We are in distress, Mr. Liu, we are late, we are guilty..."
The wailing sound that echoed through the living room suddenly stopped, because Liu Zhaosun, who was leaning on the pillar, suddenly blinked his eyelids, and roared like a beast from his throat, like a drowned person suddenly gasping for breath.
"Madam, I'm busy training soldiers, busy fighting, busy ransacking homes, busy killing people. I said I won't eat the big pig's trotters made by the Zhu family, but you insist on giving them to me every day. You said, I have to deal with all kinds of things every day, and I use my brain too much. I need to make up for it. All of you have made up for it, but I am the only one who hasn’t made up for it. Now, I don’t lack brains, but you left like this!"
Wang Chengen wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes, stepped forward and patted the Lord Protector on the shoulder. Liu Zhaosun suddenly said angrily:
"The thieves killed me, I will kill them all! I am Liu Zhaosun! I am the God of Killing!"
Zhao Yuanzhi and Pei Dahu clenched the blade of the knife, and with just one command, he would chop Wang Chengen into pulp. A look of surprise flashed across Wang Chengen's face, and then he returned to normal. He quickly stepped forward and helped Liu Zhaosun up:
"Lord Protector, you are still too young. You should not have killed the Donglin Party when you entered the capital. Now you are dealing with the censors and ransacked their homes. Who doesn't know that these civil servants are cruel and ruthless and raise dead soldiers? This is their revenge. You!"
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped Liu Zhaosun's tears. The dagger hidden in Liu Zhaosun's sleeve trembled slightly.
"Don't cry! Don't cry, Lord Protector. My wife is gone. Please show your condolences and take care of yourself. The Ming Dynasty cannot live without the Lord Protector. Don't cry! The emperor thought that the Lord Protector was overworked and has summoned General Zhang to Beijing. Helping in the defense, the Lord Protector need not worry. Where is the imperial doctor! The imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor quickly! The hands of the Protector are so trembling! Check quickly to see if it is an old illness and prescribe medicine!"
"Lord Protector, the medicine cannot be stopped!"
The imperial doctor who was beaten half to death dared to reply. Seeing that no one came up, Wang Chengen stepped forward and pulled Liu Zhaosun. He took out a red pill from somewhere and wanted to feed it to the Lord Protector.
Red Pill Case Version 2.0?
Liu Zhaosun picked up Wang Chengen, pressed his throat, lifted the eunuch with one hand, and stuffed the red pill directly into Wang Chengen's mouth.
Killing the monkey starts with the chicken!
The Chinese army guards also dispatched together and hacked to death the Han general brought by Wang Chengen.
"Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, collaborated with Donglin to rebel and murder Mrs. Gaoming! He conspired to assassinate me and deserves death! I will go to Qianqing Palace to report the matter to the emperor."
After saying that, he pointed to Wang Chengen's motionless body on the ground.
"Come here, take the prince out! Behead him for half an hour! Bring the body to Mrs. Zhang as a memorial!"
"Have the Guards arrived? Follow me into the palace to meet the Holy One!"
Liu Zhaosun looked around,
Qiao Yiqi ran back with sweat profusely and said hurriedly: "Duke Protector, Zhang Chun from Hejian Prefecture has led his troops and is approaching Desheng Gate. Many former generals from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division are clamoring to open the city gate. Kaiyuan's army can't suppress it."
"good!"
Liu Zhaosun suddenly laughed.
"Just come here. I have repeatedly restrained these ignorant creatures. These beasts insist on letting me die. Today I will kill them all."
Zhu Youjian lifted it up to Wang Chengen with one hand and threw the body outside like a shot put. The body flew more than ten meters in the air, landed on its head and hit the bluestone floor heavily.
"Go to the palace to kill people first!"
In front of the Duke Protector's Mansion, Liu Zhaosun's eyes were slightly red. The 14th Army of the Guards had just arrived, their appearance neat and serious.
"Mrs. Gaoming was killed, and the mastermind behind it has been found to be in the palace! You guard the entrance to the palace and don't let anyone in or out. The Chinese Guards will follow me into the palace to capture the murderer."
~~~~~
The Forbidden City was empty. Liu Zhaosun led Zhao Yuanzhi, Pei Dahu and Lin Yu, and eunuch Du Xun led the way.
The five people walked for a long time, but they didn't see a single eunuch or maid. Looking around, the solemn palace is particularly impressive today.
Liu Zhaosun was fully clothed in armor, holding a wild goose feather sword in his hand, watching the surroundings vigilantly, and restored the blood of his servants.
The five people came to the Huangji Hall, but there was no one in the hall.
"Duke Protector, go to Cining Palace! Where is the Holy Lord?"
Liu Zhaosun said angrily to Du Xun:
"Don't call me the Holy One anymore! He is Zhu Youjian!"
Du Xun nodded repeatedly.
The morning light is faint, passing through the Qianqing Palace and the haze, and the field of vision becomes wider.
Liu Zhaosun walked in the front and saw the palace maids and eunuchs face to face. Seeing the murderous intent of this group of people, they were all frightened and hurried away.
Liu Zhaosun quickened his pace, his leather boots making a clicking sound as he stepped on the bluestone as smooth as a mirror.
Suddenly, the footsteps on the bluestone suddenly became chaotic.
Seven or eight people dressed as eunuchs came forward, each holding a package in his hand, not knowing what was inside.
"Lord Protector, be careful."
Pei Dahu shouted from behind.
Du Xun quickly took two steps forward and asked loudly:
"Which bureau eunuch? Why are you so ignorant? When you see the Protector, why don't you..."
Before Eunuch Du could finish speaking, he heard two boom-boom sounds, and two heavy arrows flew toward him, piercing Du Xun's body directly. Eunuch Du flew out as if he had been struck by a hammer.
Liu Zhaosun smiled coldly
Is this the dead man raised by Zhu Youjian?
He looked back at Pei Dahu, Zhao Yuanzhi and Lin Yu. Four against sixteen, the odds of winning were 50 to 50.
But today, someone from the Chinese Guards is going to die here again.
There was the sound of chaotic footsteps from behind, and eight soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets, armed with waist knives and with fierce looks on their faces, rushed towards the four of them.
The eight eunuchs in front also began to exert their strength, and they attacked the assassins from behind.
Zhu Youjian took a big arrow from Zhao Yuanzhi's hand and opened the bow skillfully.
The distance was less than thirty steps, and the four mandarin duck soldiers behind them had no intention of stopping, and their speed was getting faster and faster.
A killer took out a hatchet from the package and used the inertia of running to throw it this way.
Gunshots rang out, and the assassin who rushed to the front fell to the ground with an arrow. The big arrow penetrated through the bulging throat and shot out from the back of the head, almost cutting off half of the head.
The man fell down at the sound, twitched several times on the bluestone floor, and could no longer die.
Throwing axes, bones, and spears are coming towards you. Liu Zhaosun's body dodged, and a short ax flew backwards close to the tip of his nose.
A short spear followed the sharp ax and flew towards Liu Zhaosun. Yan Ling Dao blocked it, and the javelin weakened slightly, whistling and piercing into the chest.
The short spear pierced the chainmail and penetrated into the Protector's chest muscle, but was finally blocked.
There was a loud noise, and four soldiers who rushed fifty steps away let out screams that were not like human voices.
Lin Yu, who was like a giant beast, roared and crashed towards the three of them.
The three eunuchs approaching raised their shields and tried to block Lin Yu with their shields, but it was in vain.
The shield shattered.
"Who sent you!"
The assassin vomited blood and fell to the ground, dying. Liu Zhaosun slashed his calf with the Yanling knife, and the assassin suddenly lost the ability to move.
But the more fatal injury came from Lin Yu's heavy knife. The blade hit his chest, revealing the dense white bones underneath.
"Hahahaha! Lin Yu deserves to be the second master of the Chinese Guards!"
After Liu Zhaosun finished speaking, he stared at the knife edge on the assassin's chest and said coldly:
"It's too easy to just dig out his heart. What I mean is that this person will not only be killed, but also executed in a cold way!"
When the assassin heard that Ling Chi was going to be executed and was going to live, his mentality suddenly collapsed, and he couldn't care less about the kindness of acquaintance, so he quickly confessed:
"Spare your life! Spare your life! The villain is a soldier in Liaocheng. It's Zheng Tianxing's idea not to do anything for the villain. The villain's parents, wife and children are all in Zheng Tianxing's hands. If you don't obey him, the lives of the whole family will be at risk. !”
Liu Zhaosun was well aware of the difficulties of the canal troops, so he prepared to make great efforts to reform the canal transportation and try every means to improve the lives of the canal soldiers. He never expected that the person who came to assassinate him in the end turned out to be someone he wanted to help.
"Lord Protector, please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, please."
"That's no reason!"
He raised the knife and dropped it, blood splattered on the fish scales.
"All the lines are the same. My mother is eighty years old, not seventy-nine, nor eighty."
