Chapter 442 Whoever fails to grab it will stay
“No.”
The person who replied was very confident: "The palace's spies have confirmed that the guards did not follow because they all suddenly fell ill. The imperial pharmacy has also prepared a lot of medicine and sent it over."
The person in the room was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again.
"Whether it's true or not, it's hard to find such a golden opportunity again. Let's take advantage of it and get rid of that old guy from the Hou family first.
As for the remaining people outside the palace, we have more opportunities."
Since the old man from the Hou family is allowed to be regent, let's create chaos in the court first.
After all, there are extra layers of protection in the palace.
If we act outside the palace and alert the enemy, there will be no chance for those in the palace.
On the seventh day after Lu Wanyin and others left Beijing, the night was dark.
Several dark shadows climbed over the eaves and walls of the palace and quietly sneaked into the side hall where Mr. Hou was resting.
"This old man is really highly valued. A minister who is in charge of the country actually lives directly in the palace."
"The dog emperor is afraid that he might have an accident, or die. Then let him die directly."
"Hush, be quiet, the target is near."
There were lights still burning in a side hall.
Old Master Hou sat behind his desk, diligently reviewing memorials.
The hall was silent, with only the sound of turning pages.
Several men in black looked at each other, quietly gathered their strength, and together they shot a big hole in the roof, then rushed in.
"Die, you bastard!"
More than a dozen long swords flashing with cold light pointed at Old Man Hou.
The next moment, the table next to Mr. Hou flew away, and two people crawled out from underneath.
The carpets around were turned over, and several people came out from inside.
There are also the corners under the bed and the hidden beams...
Before the men in black could get close to Mr. Hou, they were surrounded by a large group of guards.
An idea came to their mind subconsciously.
There are so many people, it’s a bit crowded.
No, how come so many people are hiding here?
They were obviously very careful and even listened carefully before coming down.
There is clearly only the sound of one person's breathing here.
"We've fallen into a trap. Let's go."
The men in black reacted and made a quick decision to escape.
"Can you guys leave?"
Several guards gathered around with grim smiles: "You are the only ones who are called 'Shadow'?"
The guards clenched their back teeth.
If they hadn't had to be on guard against these grandchildren, they would have gone out to play with their masters long ago.
The men in black were instantly overwhelmed.
These guards are really ruthless, each one more cruel than the other.
There were also several guards' excited voices in my ears.
"We agreed that whoever didn't get a share will stay."
"No, the previous plan has to change. There are only a few people here, how can we divide it up?"
"Xuan Wu, stop it, I told you to stop, do you hear me?
You've already killed one, leave some for others, there are already too many people and too little porridge."
The enemy was extremely brutal. The man in black was beaten to the ground before he could even see the guards' faces.
They have never been fought over by so many people.
Man in black, dead.
Not enough people died.
Old Master Hou was terrified watching from the side, and could not even finish the memorial in his hand: "Um... these people, do they have other ambushes?"
Several guards gathered in a group.
"Xuan Wu, look at the way you eat. You can go out alone, but you take two. After you go out, can you ride in the same carriage with the master or something?"
"That's right, I advise you to give me one, otherwise, I will tell everyone about your last training underwear split."
It's a mess again.
I can't hear it at all.
Old Mr. Hou had no choice but to take some cotton and plug his ears with it, and continued to read the memorial.
If he wasn't afraid of an ambush outside, he really wanted to go out directly.
Three days later, after clearing out the second wave of men in black who entered the palace, the guards received a letter from Di San.
"'Shadow' has evacuated the Imperial City, An."
The guards were instantly excited.
Several guards who had obtained the heads took out the bags they had prepared long ago and said, "Let's go, let's go. We won't be able to catch up if we're any later."
More than ten days passed.
Lu Wanyin and his group have passed through two small towns.
Everything is fine here. Just looking at the smiling faces of people chatting on the street, you can tell that the people live a prosperous and healthy life.
Lu Wanyin held the snacks she had bought from the previous city in her hand and watched the siblings playing with their toys with a smile: "If the rest of the trip can be like these two, this trip will be easy."
The possibility is too small.
Those who are closer to the imperial city will be more restrained.
The more out of sight a place is, the more filth and dirt it harbors.
Xie Jingci gently wiped away the crumbs from the corner of her lips: "If a few of them come out, it would be better. Human lives can better deter evildoers."
The carriage shook and suddenly stopped.
Lu Wanyin subconsciously supported the two children and then looked outside the car: "What's going on?"
Soon, Xuan Yi came over from the front and said, "Master, there are two civilians running towards this side with large bags of food. They look very anxious."
Lu Wanyin frowned.
This sounds very strange.
Escape with food
Is it because you are afraid of being robbed?
In that case, why not just exchange it for silver?
Xie Jingci patted Lu Wanyin's arm and said, "I'll go down and take a look."
Lu Wanyin pondered for a moment: "Zhiyu, mother will send you and your brother to play in the place with tall buildings, okay?"
Zhiyu's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
There were lots of little animals there, and she could take them on the swings again.
Xun Zhou released the little hand that was grabbing Lu Wanyin's sleeve and nodded obediently.
Lu Wanyin sent the two children into the space and got out of the carriage.
The news came from Di San not long ago.
All the "shadows" in the palace have been withdrawn.
Any abnormal situation may be an assassination by "Shadow".
Lu Wanyin quickly caught up, and Xie Jingci had already stopped a few meters away from several civilians.
"Not a killer."
Knowing what Lu Wanyin was worried about, Xie Jingci explained in a low voice: "The food in the hands of these people must have been snatched away.
If I remember correctly, this batch of grain will take another ten days to grow before it is the best time to harvest. Why are they so anxious to collect it and take it away?
He doesn't look like a thief who stole grain."
How could anyone who really grows crops be willing to waste them like this?
"stop."
Xuan Yi had already stopped the people: "Where did you get the food from and where is it going?"
Several people panicked and were about to kneel down and confess their crimes.
Then they saw a group of people coming from the direction they came from.
As they got closer, everyone could see clearly that the dozen or so people were all wearing official uniforms of yamen runners and riding horses.
As soon as they approached, they swung the whips in their hands at the people on the ground: "How dare you, a few lowly people, steal the food."
When the whip was swung, there was a sound of breaking wind.
It was obvious that he didn't hold back at all.
Pop.
The whip did not fall, but was firmly grasped by Xuan Yi: "You dare to do it?"
The leading yamen runner whipped twice but failed to pull the whip out. He got angry and said: "How dare you grab my whip? You are rebelling!"
Believe it or not, I will make your heads move right now."
