Seeing that the assassin's skill was far superior to his own, General Manager Hai did not dare to continue attacking with his bone-melting palm to prevent the force from backlash. He immediately changed his palm technique to block in front of him, and at the same time shouted for help.
Zhao Qing put down the emperor, grabbed a piece of exquisite ink on the imperial case with his right hand, and with one wave, turned it into eight or nine pieces, hitting the dizzy point of the eunuch official in the palace;
At the same time, he moved his left hand, and a dark red bloody knife shot out, attacking the bald old man under a red-yellow candlelight.
Manager Hai had no time to dodge, so he could only catch it with his hands, but he heard a sound like chipping away at rotten wood. His right hand had been broken, and his left hand had an eagle-like hook, firmly grasping the side of the blood knife.
Showing a faint smile, Zhao Qing flipped his wrist. The blood knife not far away was like a fish unhooking. It violently broke away from the sea manager's grasp and drew a bone-deep cut under his side. Wound.
It turned out that she had connected a tough steel wire to the handle of the blood knife, and she could remotely control it to make many changes. With two moves, General Hai was immediately severely injured and lost his fighting power.
However, although the fighting in the palace only lasted for a blink of an eye, many sounds had already spread to the outside world. Dozens of guards rushed in. Seeing the restrained emperor, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Gongs sounded all around, and thousands of doors in the palace were closed and bolted. Inner guards and palace guards strictly guarded the main roads. Only the sound of footsteps and the sound of swords were heard, and a large number of guards hurried outside the palace.
After a while, the officers and soldiers of the three-flag guard camp, the forward camp, and the valiant cavalry camp outside the palace wall strung their bows and unsheathed their swords. They were closely guarding each other and conducting martial law.
Less than half an hour later, high-ranking officials and nobles such as Zhenguo Gong Jinghao, Heshuozhi Prince Minning and others rushed to the scene. Each led an army and surrounded the Yangxin Hall complex.
During this period, Zhao Qing also had several conversations with Jiaqing to discuss relevant conditions, which mainly included the following four items:
First, lift the martial law in the imperial city and let the "rescuing" troops disband and leave; second, give all the martial arts secrets and magical weapons in the palace to Zhao Qing; third, declare the world and order all sects and factions to participate in the competition. General Assembly; fourth, introduce the Red Flower Society into the court to balance the power of the Manchu nobles.
The first three items are naturally for your own plans. The fourth article is to try to make some changes in the world and the court.
She knew that she was not a political material, and she did not have the time or energy to overthrow the imperial court. All she could do was introduce anti-Qing forces with good reputations such as the Red Flower Society.
There are many members in the Red Flower Club, and by brainstorming, they should be able to come up with some good ideas and make some changes. Maybe from now on, modern history will be changed by them?
The first three items were easy to talk about, but Jiaqing firmly refused to agree to the fourth item.
Zhao Qing could not shed tears without seeing the coffin. Zhao Qing knew that the emperor was already very old and perhaps had a death wish and was unwilling to lose his family.
But she was not in a hurry. She would wait until she could control a few more important ministers and extinguish his hopes to see if he would continue to be arrogant.
After the emperor dies, he can still pass it on to his descendants. After the minister dies, can his descendants also inherit the original position? Next, try the effect of controlling the minister.
Climbing up to the hole in the roof of the palace, Zhao Qing looked out and saw all the torches outside the palace. Three to four thousand people from the royal guards, guards, eunuchs, etc. had come to rescue him.
Suddenly, nineteen masters jumped to the top of the hall, each holding a weapon, and attacked Zhao Qing. A military attache in a yellow mantle took the lead, followed closely by nine lamas, using swords, tin staffs, and even thick golden pestles in strange shapes, forming a combined attack formation.
Seeing the enemy coming, Zhao Qing did not panic at all. He swayed and broke into the crowd. The long sword in his right hand drew several circles and cut off all the monks' weapons.
This sword was originally the Qingfeng Sword that Liu Chengfeng used during his lifetime. It was borrowed by Zhao Qing. Although it is not as sharp as the blood sword, it can be regarded as a sharp weapon. Under her powerful internal power, it is no different from a real sword. of swords.
The leading military attache was horrified. Suddenly, he somersaulted backwards, took out a musket from nowhere, and started shooting. However, Zhao Qing used his Tai Chi skills to catch the bullet.
Although a single bullet is still quite powerful, it is actually not as good as the thunderbolt fire bomb that can self-destruct after being fired during the Yitian period. Under Tai Chi's softness overcoming hardness and emptiness, it has no ability to hurt people.
But with a swish sound, Zhao Qing's long sword was stabbing the military attache commander in the chest. The opponent hurriedly drew out his weapon to block it. It was a short sword about one foot long. When it was unsheathed, green light shone all around. It turned out to be a rare magic weapon.
With a "clang" sound, the military attache's tiger's mouth was shattered, and the dagger almost fell off, but because two long spears and two large knives were attacking Zhao Qing, she used her left hand to parry with the blood knife, so she used less of this blow against the military attaché. Some internal strength.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the nine monks each took a step forward. The first one put out his palm to touch the back of the military attache's heart. The eight monks behind him lined up in two rows, each with their right palms to touch the front and back of the heart. The strength of the military attaché's hand was The power immediately increased.
Is it a method to pass the exercises together? The Qingfeng Sword in Zhao Qing's hand suddenly shook, sticking to the direction of the ten opponents. Then the bloody sword rose and fell, cutting the throats of the ten people in an instant.
Turning around again, she used the steel shield on her back to block three short spears and a steel axe. She kicked them back with both feet and kicked them away one after another. She jumped back into the palace.
The roof of the Yangxin Hall was more than three feet above the ground. Several guards were completely unprepared and fell from the air, causing their muscles and bones to break immediately.
The fight just now was actually only a short period of more than ten breaths. The troops outside the palace discovered the situation on the roof of the palace. Someone raised a musket and opened fire. There were swishes and crackles, but they saw that Zhao Qing had disappeared.
Sure enough, while Zhao Qing was entering the palace, a group of guards rushed in to rescue him. She frowned slightly, swung her sleeves, Xiufeng closed the opened palace door from afar, and then the red light flashed, clearing away the people who entered the palace.
"People outside, who are in charge, come into the palace immediately to talk to me about the price you have to pay to rescue the emperor." Zhao Qing looked at the shivering emperor after seeing the dead bodies on the ground, and used his inner strength to speak outwards.
