Chapter 151: The Big Event of Double Ninth Festival (Part 3)
From the direction of Mingde Gate, a member of the imperial guards was kicked flying!
Then it fell directly to the ground with a bang!
then
Not only were more imperial guards thrown into disarray, but many well-trained and armored imperial guards also fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked. With the Empress here, how could anyone dare to do such a thing?
And just that one shout of 'get out' just now is enough to be punished with death!
Even Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but look over there, somewhat surprised at who it was.
Yan Yunxiao knew who was coming without looking, but she didn't care. While staring at the cauldron, she said "Don't pay any attention" to the Huanglong Guards who were about to take action, and she was already planning to rescue Xia Fengxiang.
But because of Yan Yunxiao's order, these seventh- and eighth-rank Huanglong guards did not rush over immediately.
but
All the civil and military officials were immediately stunned.
Because they saw that the people rushing out from the imperial guards were Su Changan and Yan Ruyu.
Su Changan was wearing a white shirt, obviously without an outer coat. He was sweating profusely and looked anxious.
Everyone was surprised. How did Su Changan appear here, and in this state?
Xia Fengxiang was also a little puzzled, but he immediately looked at the cauldron beside him and planned to put out the fire in the cauldron.
Xia Fengxiang’s idea was very simple. Since Su Changan was coming, he couldn’t let it explode. What if Su Changan was hurt?
Su Changan didn't care about anything else. While looking at Xia Fengxiang, he also noticed the white smoke rising from the furnace.
He didn't know where the Queen Mother buried the explosives.
But according to his guess, it should have been buried on the cauldron in the middle. Then after Xia Fengxiang placed sacrificial talismans inside, he ignited the fuse or something inside, causing the explosion.
There is gunpowder in all the surrounding chrysanthemum pots. As long as the furnace explodes, these fire pots will definitely be affected and explode.
So when he saw the white smoke rising from the furnace, Su Changan was shocked and saw Xia Fengxiang right next to the furnace. He cursed again, "Fuck you!"
So I just saw white smoke coming out of the furnace and then suddenly stepped on the ground.
He rushed directly towards Xia Fengxiang.
Very fast!
Everyone was surprised again. It was bad enough that Su Changan came suddenly, but why did he suddenly rush over? Being disturbed during the sacrifice was a serious crime!
But they didn't have time to think much.
Su Changan had already come to Xia Fengxiang.
Yan Yunxiao was about to go over to the furnace, but when he saw Su Changan reach the round altar, a look of horror flashed across his face.
Because she was sure that Su Changan's strength was already at the sixth level!
But Yan Yunxiao still came directly to Xia Fengxiang and planned to take the two of them away.
However, as soon as Su Changan approached the furnace, he immediately smelled the smell of burning gunpowder.
So he ignored Yan Yunxiao who came over.
Without any unnecessary movements, Su Changan embraced Xia Fengxiang in his arms, grabbed one side of the cauldron with one hand, and threw it into the sky with all his strength.
The cauldron that required eight strong men to lift was thrown directly into the air by Su Changan.
Everyone around saw it and gasped.
But they didn't have much time to be shocked.
Because just after Su Changan threw the cauldron into the air.
The furnace exploded!
boom! !
A deafening explosion roared in the air, resounding through the sky and shaking the entire sky above Luoan City!
Everyone on the ground was frightened by the earth-shaking noise, especially all the people under the explosion. Many officials fell directly to the ground due to the huge impact from the sky.
They were the imperial guards and common people at the city gate.
They couldn't see what Su Changan did, but they saw such a huge cauldron flying into the sky and suddenly exploded!
That’s why I was shocked. It suddenly exploded!
The sudden huge explosion made my head buzz.
The people in the city were naturally startled by the sudden roar.
They all looked towards the direction of Mingde Gate where the sound came from, each one full of curiosity.
Especially when they saw that it was heading towards Mingde Gate, everyone thought about today's sacrifice and naturally became more curious.
There was a lot of discussion, and some of those who were curious even ran towards Mingde Gate, wanting to see what could have caused such a big commotion.
But some people also thought that it might be something like sacrificial fireworks made by His Majesty, otherwise what could make such a big noise!
But in the end, I was still shocked, but I immediately continued to laugh and chat.
Inside Xingqing Palace, the empress dowager heard the noise, put down her bowl and chopsticks with a look of joy, and ran towards the main gate of the palace.
Xiang Hong walked in and saw the Queen Mother like this, and immediately said, "My Queen, it's exploded."
The Queen Mother smiled and asked, "Mingde Gate, right?"
Xianghong nodded excitedly.
The Queen Mother immediately came to the entrance of the palace, looked in the direction of Mingde Gate, and said with joy: "With so much explosives, can such a big noise be made? Haha"
At this point, the Queen Mother looked at Xiang Hong and asked, "Has Su Changan arrived?"
Xiang Hong thought for a moment and said, "From the time she ran away, she shouldn't be here yet, but I think she should be here soon and I can see the body of His Majesty who was blown to death with my own eyes."
The Queen Mother was extremely delighted when she heard this: "Where is the corpse? With such a big noise, it might be blown to pieces. But holding the little emperor's arm? It's interesting to think about it. I just can't see her crying the first time. But it doesn't matter. The explosion sound from the left and right guards is the signal."
Xiang Hong nodded quickly: "Yes. After the altar explodes, they will take action immediately, and they have specially trained the armored team to target Yan Yunxiao."
The Queen Mother smiled even more happily, and looked towards the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall with some expectation, but there was no movement, and she could not help but frowned: "Where is the explosion in the Imperial Examination Hall?"
Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment, and also looked towards the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall curiously. After thinking for a while, she said, "Maybe we need to wait a while."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, but when she thought of Su Chang'an crying at Mingde Gate, she showed a happy expression again.
…
The candidates and examiners in the Imperial Examination Hall naturally all heard the loud noise and were all surprised.
However, Mu Xu, who was sitting in the lounge, said softly, "Let the candidates take the exam with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Xun Kuang bowed and walked out of the lounge.
Mu Xu picked up the tea beside him.
Still do it.
Now the Queen Mother will never be able to laugh again.
Thinking of this, Mu Xu continued to drink his tea and ignored the curious looks of Cui Yu and others.
…
In the air outside Mingde Gate, smoke and dust were flying.
But after all, there was a considerable amount of dust and ash in the furnace that had just exploded, so after the explosion, the dust and ash in the furnace scattered.
Many people present were covered in dust.
The smell of gunpowder in the air is particularly pungent!
Just on the ground lay a part of the furnace fragments that were about to fall into the crowd.
Just after the explosion, Yan Yunxiao and several Huanglong Guards were quick to step forward and shoot down the fragments of the furnace that were about to fall into the crowd.
And now.
Whether it was the civil and military officials, the imperial guards, the Chixia Army, or the ordinary people in the distance, they were all present.
Although they had calmed down, there was still a dazed look on their faces.
I was really frightened by the deafening explosion just now, and my ears are still buzzing.
But the most important thing.
Or maybe it was because this incident happened too suddenly.
From the moment Su Changan appeared, everything that happened left them no time to think about what was happening.
Then such a huge cauldron was thrown into the air and exploded.
So, all of them looked up at the sky, then at the broken pieces of the furnace on the ground, with faces full of shock and confusion.
When Su Changan threw the cauldron out, he immediately embraced Xia Fengxiang in his arms and turned his back to the direction of the explosion.
Before the explosion, Su Changan hugged Xia Fengxiang tightly in his arms and even covered Xia Fengxiang's ears.
After Su Changan was sure that everything was fine, he looked down at Xia Fengxiang and asked in a serious tone, "Are you okay?"
Xia Fengxiang raised his head slightly, looked at Su Changan and nodded gently, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Su Changan ignored Xia Fengxiang. Instead, he let Xia Fengxiang go and looked him up and down. Seeing that Xia Fengxiang was fine, he finally let go of his worries. However, he still said with a serious expression, "It must be the Queen Mother."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, especially when he thought about how he had just protected him, he felt very happy.
Especially when he saw Su Changan frowning and looking angry at him, he felt his heart beating fast.
But he knew what the occasion was, so he didn't show it and just nodded slightly.
Su Changan frowned even more tightly, "Why didn't you tell me! What if something happens!!"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "Let me tell you, what if something happens to you?"
Su Changan frowned, "So it's right for you to hide it from me?"
He didn't want anything to happen to her, and she didn't want anything to happen to him even more.
It was the first time Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan like this. He bit his lip and didn't know what to say. Seeing Su Changan sweating profusely, he knew that he must have run all the way here after guessing what was going on. He reached out to wipe the sweat off Su Changan's face with some heartache and whispered, "Everything is under control. Besides, with Aunt Yan here, I'm sure nothing will happen to me. I forgot that when you came here just now, Aunt Yan was already planning to throw that thing away. So it's okay. I didn't let you come because everything has been arranged."
Su Changan doesn't care much about these.
He just wants Xia Fengxiang to be fine.
At that moment, Su Changan frowned and looked at Xia Fengxiang, actually wanting to curse him.
But looking at Xia Fengxiang's face.
After all, I couldn't bear to say a word.
But I was still angry that Xia Fengxiang didn't say a word about such a big and dangerous thing.
So looking at Xia Fengxiang's face, Su Changan was about to reach out to pinch Xia Fengxiang's face, but his hand stopped in mid-air. He placed his hand on the back of Xia Fengxiang's head, kissed Xia Fengxiang's forehead, hugged him in his arms, and then said: "If something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me. If something really happens, what do you want me to do?"
Xia Fengxiang didn't expect Su Changan to hug her like this and even kiss her. Her face immediately turned red because she knew there were many people watching!
So he glanced at the dusty civil and military officials, other eunuchs, palace maids, and everyone else below, and immediately whispered, "What are you doing? Let go, have you forgotten where we are? So many people are watching us. And there are other things to do! This matter is not over yet."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at everyone who had now come back to their senses and were looking at him and the empress.
Su Changan blinked, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Should I go back and kill the Queen Mother?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan: "Just stay still!"
Su Changan frowned, but still said "Oh". Although he was angry, Xia Fengxiang was fine, and there was no rush for other things!
Then he turned around to look at the civil and military officials who were staring at them, bowed, and stood next to Xia Fengxiang.
but
Su Changan saw Yan Yunxiao looking at him with interest, and his eyes were a little strange.
So Su Changan leaned towards Xia Fengxiang and away from Yan Yunxiao.
However, when he looked at the people below, he discovered that not only was the Eighth Prince covered in blood, but even the hairpins on his head were crooked, and his head was covered in gray, looking somewhat funny.
but
Everyone looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang in shock.
Although they had just come to their senses, they were anxious to know what was going on and why the sacrificial cauldron exploded, and this incident was regicide!
After all, the cauldron is right in front of Your Majesty. If Su Changan hadn't arrived, Your Majesty would have surely died!
As for other things, such as how Miss Chang'an has such strength and why Miss Chang'an knew to rush to save His Majesty, they are not important for the time being!
but
Just now, when everyone looked up, they saw Su Changan hugging His Majesty and even kissing His Majesty.
That scene.
Everyone present blinked their eyes in amazement.
It’s not that Su Changan, dressed in white with a sword hanging from his waist, is particularly stunning.
It’s not that the scene of her holding His Majesty in her arms and kissing him really feels like a perfect couple in heaven.
After all, Su Changan has been confirmed to be the Empress Dowager. In other words, they are already a couple.
but
Could you two pay attention? ! Even if this happened in public, such a big thing just happened.
Most importantly
Everyone couldn't believe what they just saw.
That was Su Changan's solemn expression.
Her Majesty seemed to be very happy. Not only was she a little shy, but she was also acting like a little girl.
Comparing the two, it's like they have swapped roles in their daily lives.
The people in the distance were already stopped by the imperial guards, so naturally they could not see what was happening between Su Changan and His Majesty inside.
But they saw the explosion clearly.
It was especially clear, such a terrifying explosion, especially when His Majesty was beside him.
Someone is trying to kill the king!
So everyone was horrified, some didn't dare to stay here, and the timid ones ran away quietly.
But those who are a little braver and have a clear conscience will just stand there and continue watching this grand event that is holding up the sky!
No other meaning.
Just want to see what happens next.
I'm also curious about what happened to Miss Changan after she went in just now!
Now
Seeing the two separated, Duke Qi immediately reacted, looked at the empress, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, what happened just now was..."
At this point, the old general, who had long been recuperating at home in a sinecure, hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that someone is trying to murder you? If so, who is it? The regicide is a crime, and the entire clan should be exterminated!! Although I am old, I can kill for Your Majesty!"
At the end, the Duke of Qi looked at the Eighth Prince and then glanced at the Grand Tutor.
Afterwards, he even pulled out the ceremonial sword that he had been granted in exchange for his outstanding military achievements and that could be hung on his court robes.
His attitude was very clear. He just wanted to tell the emperor, who in his eyes had been bullied since he took office, and who had now become a little tougher but was murdered, that he, an old man, was here, so he could speak without worry!
The Duke of Qi did so.
Many ministers reacted and immediately stood up one by one to express their opinions.
Xia Fengxiang had adjusted his mentality by then. Even though the bastard Su Changan came to save him and kissed and hugged him in front of so many people, his plan had not changed much after all.
Seeing the ministers like this, he smiled and looked at the Duke of Qi and said, "Don't worry, old man, it's not over yet."
When the civil officials and military generals heard this, they were all stunned. Even those who couldn't hear it in the back were still horrified after hearing what the person in front said.
Not over yet?
What's the meaning.
What is not finished yet, what else is there!
Such a big thing just happened, and it’s not over yet? ?
Duke Qi was naturally a little stunned and looked at the empress curiously: "What does your majesty mean?"
Xia Fengxiang smiled, glanced at the civil and military officials who followed the Queen Mother, and even more at the palace maids and eunuchs who followed the Queen Mother, then looked at the Duke of Qi and said, "Don't worry, the fun is just about to begin."
Duke Qi was surprised and looked at Xia Fengxiang in confusion.
Many of the civil and military officials who followed the empress dowager also looked confused.
Because they didn't know what was happening either.
But a few of them knew it well. They were sweating and swallowing their saliva, not daring to look at anyone.
Some people noticed the appearance of these people and became curious, asking and caring in a low voice.
But these people have no time to take care of this now.
Because they see it.
The Empress knew it a long time ago.
If he was rescued just now, it was because Su Changan suddenly came out.
But now the empress's words clearly showed that she already knew and was waiting for them to take action.
If the empress died, their power would naturally rise.
But now the empress is not dead, and the look in her eyes makes it clear that she knows everything and who is involved! !
And they're not the only ones.
The eunuch was terrified from the beginning, knowing what was going to happen and was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. The palace maid was even more frightened and her face turned pale.
Xia Fengxiang doesn't say much
But all the officials were full of curiosity and looked around.
Some people were cautious, fearing that there would be another bomb.
Among them, Yang Guofu held his old father's arm, cautiously, fearing that there would be another bomb nearby.
The Eighth Prince did the same, and he even ran to the side of a Huanglong Guard.
After all, His Majesty said the real show has just begun.
But it didn’t say that there won’t be gunpowder like just now next time!
"It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me."
At this time.
In the queue where the eunuchs were standing, a young eunuch suddenly ran out, ran to the bottom of the round altar, knelt down directly in front of the empress, and kowtowed continuously.
When everyone saw the eunuch, they were all stunned and looked at him.
The young eunuch kept kowtowed to the ground and kept saying, "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me. I was forced to do this. I was forced to do this. This has nothing to do with me."
Xia Fengxiang looked at the little eunuch, glanced at him and continued to look forward.
Su Changan looked at the young eunuch and felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him in the greenhouse before, and he had a close relationship with Xiang Hong.
But it was enough to see the little eunuch kowtow all the time, but he kept saying that it had nothing to do with him and didn't talk about important things.
Duke Qi was impatient and asked immediately, "Who forced you to do that?"
The young eunuch raised his head and looked at the Duke of Qi and shook his head: "I can't tell you, I can't tell you. If I tell you, my whole family will die. We will all die."
As he spoke, a fire starter appeared in the young eunuch's hand. He pounced forward and the fire starter, emitting sparks, flew towards the chrysanthemum pot.
Su Changan was startled and pulled Xia Fengxiang behind him.
Acacia seeds that have never been pulled out.
Pulled it out.
And he swung his knife towards the young eunuch.
I keep my sword for three months, just to protect the one I love.
Now
Of course I have to draw my sword!
moment!
The ground was torn ten feet apart in an instant!
