"Did you see that group of people coming from afar? I'm sure the current emperor must be inside!" Hu Lishan tugged at the corner of his beard, squatted on the railing of a high-rise building, and faced Lu Zi You and Mo Qinglou said.
Hu Lishan has not gone far since he escaped from prison. There are many imperial palaces nearby. Although he is not good at light work, climbing buildings and walls and walking from house to house are his specialties. He climbed onto the roof of an official residence and quietly stared at the situation in the prison.
Seeing Mo Qinglou and Lu Ziyou escaping from the prison, he commanded a group of rats to lure them over. Mo Qinglou and Lu Ziyou first saw a group of rats running towards them. They didn't know the situation and killed many rats. Hu Lishan was so angry that his beard stood up.
"How do you dare to conclude that it is the current emperor? It has only been half an hour since Mr. Wu and the others broke the prison, how can the emperor come so quickly?" Mo Qinglou didn't believe it and asked suspiciously.
Lu Ziyou nodded and agreed with Mo Qinglou: "It only took half an hour to alarm the current emperor. I don't really believe it."
Hu Lishan smiled and shook his head: "The martial arts skills of the two of you are much better than mine, but there is one skill that you know nothing about..." Halfway through Hu Lishan's words, he gave up and stared at the two of them. Laughing.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have any!" Mo Qinglou didn't have much patience and urged.
"Observe Qi! You don't understand what luck is! How could the Daqi Dynasty last for six hundred years? In the final analysis, it is still because the luck is still there. Only the Qi of the Daqi Dynasty will not decline. No matter how powerful the vassals and barbarians are, It's hard to change the Great Qi Dynasty! You can't see that group of people, filled with purple energy, and there is a golden dragon faintly tumbling in the purple energy. It must be the current emperor!" Hu Lishan said slowly.
"Hey, the emperor is just the emperor. He has one eyes and one mouth. What's so strange?" Mo Qinglou leaned on the railing, casually. She is a woman and a Jianghu person, and she never cares about the affairs of the court.
Lu Ziyou was silent on the sidelines. He didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Hu Lishan's gourd.
Hu Lishan: "Do you know why the emperors of the Daqi Dynasty were frequently assassinated? Instigated by vassal kings from all over the country? Maybe, but not many. Because the Daqi Dynasty belongs to the Zhao family. After killing one emperor and establishing another, it would still take a long time. It’s the Zhao family, their vassal king can only be the vassal king honestly.”
Mo Qinglou turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"
Hu Lishan approached the two of them: "In the past six hundred years, most of the assassins of the emperor were Jianghu people!"
"How is this possible?" Mo Qinglou was surprised.
Lu Ziyou also shook his head: "Absolutely impossible!"
As Jianghu people, they knew that if dignitaries came to instigate it, some Jianghu masters who were short of money might take risks. However, it was very unlikely that Jianghu people would spontaneously assassinate the emperor. Because the risk of assassinating the emperor is too high, if it goes wrong, the three clans will be implicated, and the sect may also be implicated. Moreover, there are so many masters around the emperor that it is extremely difficult to get hold of him. Even if he succeeds, he will still face endless pursuit. A man of martial arts who was so full that he gave up everything and ran to assassinate the emperor.
Hu Lishan naturally understood what they were thinking, and still said slowly: "You don't know something. The emperor is the king of a country. His body is very important, and the luck of a country is added to him. If you kill the emperor, it will be a loss of luck! Martial arts cultivation In order to be diligent and diligent, the dragon energy will accompany you, and your luck will last forever!"
Lu Ziyou was still a little suspicious. Mo Qinglou lowered his eyes, and her heart moved. A weak woman traveling in the world will face much greater difficulties than a man. At first she hoped to find a good man to settle down and settle down, and later she did find him. If she hadn't seen him and the gang of traffickers gathering together to count the banknotes that day, she would have been kept in the dark. She would still be in the brothel, stupidly waiting for him to return from the imperial examination.
Now that there is such a shortcut, why should she go wandering in the world again? As a woman, she doesn't care about martial arts skills, but the temptation of the words "dragon energy accompanies you, and good luck lasts" is too great for her.
"How can we trust you?" Mo Qinglou asked.
"Hey, you don't know. The little old man who was just put into prison today, do you know who he is? Taishi Li's butler! It was his son who came to the prison at night, and they were plotting to assassinate the emperor. It's a pity that it didn't happen, and the person was arrested. There may be no evidence for the moment. They met at night to ventilate. There is not much else in the prison, but my little mouse... is everywhere~" Hu Lishan grabbed the little mouse again. Beard, a little proud.
Lu Ziyou is a man after all, and he thinks more than Mo Qinglou: "Could it be because of different political opinions, or a struggle for power, and the housekeeper ordered by Grand Master Li did it?"
Hu Lishan continued to explain, "This matter was definitely not done by Taishi Li. You think, Taishi Li is a very popular minister, why would he assassinate the emperor? He can't be the emperor. If another emperor takes the throne, he will still be the Taishi, so, I doubt it. This was the housekeeper's own doing. Taishi Li's housekeeper knew this from nowhere, and he did it. Can it still be fake? His little son just jumped over the wall and ran away. You didn't see it, right? "
"You mean to let the two of us assassinate the emperor now?" Lu Ziyou thought about it for a while and directly found out what Hu Lishan was thinking.
Hu Lishan shook his head: "I want to assassinate the emperor, and I came to you to ask you to help me!"
"Okay! I'll do it!" Upon hearing this, Mo Qinglou realized that the two of them were just helpers brought by Hu Lishan. In the end, it was him who wanted to do it. How could he miss such a good thing that came to his door?
Hu Lishan looked at Lu Ziyou, waiting for his answer.
"I have heard about the deeds of Daxia Lu. He had been romantically involved for many years, and finally fell in love with a woman. He came to propose marriage, but because of her different family status and limited financial resources, the woman's parents kicked her out. Daxia Lu changed his career from a flower picker to a thief. Roadblock. Really or not? After the woman found out, she persuaded Daxia Lu to surrender and he vowed to go to jail for five years to repent of his sins." Mo Qinglou recounted Lu Ziyou's past.
Lu Ziyou looked angry and stared at Mo Qinglou.
Mo Qinglou said with a smile: "Even if you go to see that woman now, Mr. Lu, you will just be chased away by her parents again. With the dragon spirit accompanying you and your rapid rise, are you really not tempted by Mr. Lu? Should you continue to be the flower-picking thief?"
Lu Ziyou thought of that woman. She was gentle, playful, cunning, and very different from other girls. It was all because of that damn family background! It's not like he never thought about taking her away, but as soon as he saw her eyes, Lu Ziyou only had one thought in his mind: "Never do anything to make her sad."
Lu Ziyou took a deep breath and said, "Okay, count me in! How to do it?"
Hu Lishan tugged on his beard and smiled: "I will send a group of rats to disrupt their team later. Then the three of us will take action separately. As long as the emperor is killed, it will be the combined effort of the three of us, and luck will naturally be added to us. On the three of them. It’s just that my martial arts skills... may take action a little later."
Lu Ziyou and Mo Qinglou were noncommittal, and they both knew in their hearts that Hu Lishan, who was ranked 84th on the top 100 martial arts list, basically relied on rats. If there were no rats, Hu Lishan would only be proficient in fists and feet. However, since he could instruct the mice to disrupt the formation, he had done something good. If he was really asked to go up and charge, if he got stuck there, it would appear that they were not being honest.
The three of them had made a decision, and flew and climbed from the tall building, each using their magical powers to land on the ground. Quietly hidden in the dark corner of the street, waiting quietly.
"puff"
One of the Xu Shi guards stabbed an oncoming rat to death so as not to startle the holy driver. The tip of the gun swung, throwing the dying mouse against the wall, but he didn't take it seriously.
"puff"
A guard at the side door also raised his gun and stabbed a rat to death, threw it aside, and muttered: "How does the street department work? There are so many rats!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let your majesty hear it. When the time comes, your majesty really cures the Street Department, you will offend someone again!" Xu Shiwei next to him quickly advised.
"That's right. We have bright lights and rats are running all over the street. What? Are we the only ones who can see it?" Xu Shiwei still muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Puff, puff, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak."
The sound of stabbing and the screams of rats could be heard all around the team.
"What's going on? Why are there so many rats?"
"My shot actually killed two of them!"
"One ran in! Stabbed to death!"
The team became noisy for a while.
"No! Escort!" Xiao Chong, the chief of Xushi Guards, reacted quickly. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and warned everyone.
Xu Shiwei was responsible for monitoring, apprehending officials, and personally protecting the emperor most of the time. However, the highest significance of the existence of the Twelve Heavenly Guards was to protect the emperor. No matter what kind of guard you are, you must sacrifice your life to protect the emperor in critical moments. Anyone who violates this will be punished by assassinating the king.
The Xu Shi guards gathered their troops and surrounded Zhao Yizhi's sedan chair in the center of the team.
Zhao Yizhi was sitting in the sedan. He was still thinking about how to deal with Li Changwen, why Liu Hongliang died, and a series of troublesome questions. The guards outside made a commotion and surrounded him to protect him, interrupting Zhao Yizhi's thoughts. Thoughts.
"What happened?" Zhao Yizhi stuck his head out and asked.
"Your Majesty! There are rats!" A Xu Shi guard nearby saw Zhao Yizhi asking and quickly replied.
Zhao Yizhi laughed angrily: "If there are mice, just drive them away. Is it such a fuss?"
As soon as Zhao Yizhi finished speaking, there were "squeaking" sounds from all directions, even the sounds of mice on the roof and in the river.
"What's going on? Why are there so many rats?" Zhao Yizhi heard the noise of rats and noticed something was wrong, so he continued to ask.
Xu Shiwei didn't know what was going on. He was by Zhao Yizhi's side, not on the periphery. He didn't know much more about the situation than Zhao Yizhi: "Report to your Majesty, I don't know."
Xiao Chong, the chief of Xushi Guards, hurriedly separated the guards from the outside of the team and rushed to Zhao Yizhi's side. Except for the ten members of Chen Congwei who directly obeyed Zhao Yizhi's orders, the other eleven guards had a chief guard who was in charge of the whole guard because of their large number. Xiao Chong was the chief guard of Xu Shi Guard.
"Your Majesty, there are a large number of rats appearing in all directions, countless! It seems that the target is us. It is suspected that someone is manipulating it. It may take some time to remove the rats. Considering the possible danger, I ask your Majesty to allow Zhao Chen to come from the guard to escort us. !”
