Chapter 160

Qiao Sheng and his friends sat together and discussed the matter of meeting the emperor for a long time. Lin Haiyang even thought of the posture of kneeling.

People under the eaves have to complete their tasks, so don't think about straightening their backs. Fortunately, they grew up under the national flag. This situation is only temporary, not forever.

But the next day, when they entered the palace, the process was completely different from what they thought. There was no golden throne or court officials. There was only a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. From a modern perspective, he was very mature and stable.

The five people just stood still and did not follow the plan yesterday. The person next to the middle-aged man, who was obviously a eunuch, reprimanded them in a low voice.

As soon as the knees bent, the emperor stopped them from moving, saying that the distinguished guests were all outsiders and should not be bound by worldly etiquette. The eunuch who had just been bossing around changed his attitude 180 degrees and said to the emperor that it was all because of the slaves that they deserved to die, because they did not understand the rules of the Taoist priest.

If I had not seen too much interaction between Princess Yongan and Caiwei, I would have almost been fooled. This was obviously a case of hitting with a stick first and then giving a sweet date.

Princess Yongan also began to introduce a few people on the side. I originally thought that Caiwei and the others were just following them, but I didn't expect to see a lot.

The princess said that they could create something out of nothing and shoot people from a hundred feet away. Among them, Qiao Sheng was the leader, and his shooting was accurate and fast.

The two superiors were still introducing, and Qiao Sheng and the others below kept sending emails, all asking Li Mu how much a hundred feet was. When they heard that it was nearly three hundred and fifty meters, Qiao Sheng was dumbfounded. These two ancient people, did they think her crossbow was 416? And the range was more than three hundred meters. Li Mu said it was

about the same, if not three hundred meters, it would be more than two hundred meters. The weapon diagrams opened in the drift bottle would indeed be stronger when they were made.

They had just finished discussing below, and Princess Yong'an and the emperor above had finished talking, and even said that they could create something out of nothing. This was digging a hole for Qiao Sheng and the others. What if they were asked to turn into a gold, silver, or jade artifact? They really couldn't do it.

The emperor did not ask them to perform immediately, but only asked if their master had any way to cure the disease, after all, those who practiced Taoism and cultivating immortals should know something about this.

Before they could answer, a person who had been tortured was brought up. The wounds had become festering and infected, and there were even maggots crawling on some of them.

Looking at the eyes of the two superiors, Qiao Sheng and his companions knew that the wounds must be treated, otherwise they would not be able to carry out their mission.

Su Tianshi was responsible for holding down the legs of the injured, and called two eunuchs to hold down the shoulders of the injured. Qiao Sheng and his companions stood on the left and right sides, two for the upper body and two for the lower body.

The clothes were cut off, the festering wounds were pierced, and the rotten flesh was cut off, but the wounded man struggled too hard and the three people could not hold him down.

Qiao Sheng stood on the left side of the wounded man, asked the eunuch next to him for a handkerchief, took out the knockout drug from her wrist bag and sprinkled it on the wounded man's face, and pressed it directly on the wounded man's face.

The onlookers thought she was going to suffocate the wounded man and were ready to rush up to stop her. Seeing that the other party was not moving, Qiao Sheng called Xia Beibei and others to continue cleaning the wound.

For the wounds on this man's body, Qiao Sheng and his team used two bottles of Baibaodan, and the insurance company also gave him some. The powder was sprinkled on the wounds, and then white cotton cloth was asked for to wrap them up. There was nothing else they could do. After all, there were no professional doctors. They could only rely on God's will.

The two empty glass bottles placed next to them and the handkerchief on the face of the injured were also taken away by the eunuchs who helped to massage the wounded. When they left, they took a special look at the chief eunuch next to the emperor.

[Does he think we are all blind? This blatant wink at the emperor makes me doubt the authenticity of the palace drama.] Lin Haiyang sent emails to the others.

[That's because they don't take us seriously at all, okay? Even if they want to fight, they will fight with people who are meaningful. Fighting us outsiders is useless. You are so stupid! ] Xia Beibei's complaints are never late.

Qiao Sheng also agreed with this statement. If others can see it, it means that they don't take them seriously at all.

After that, the emperor asked them to take out the crossbows. Qiao Sheng took out things countless times without any reason. The emperor and the princess tacitly accepted that she was carrying a treasure, so when she took out the crossbow again, they didn't show any special surprise. However, after the eunuch presented the crossbow without arrows, he didn't mean to take it back at all.

The four people secretly complained again, this is to steal weapons, fortunately they have brought supplies with them, even if the crossbow is gone, Xia Beibei can always make a new one, it is not worth offending the authority for this thing.

This time they only treated a wounded soldier, and the crossbow was taken away again, and then the princess took them back to the princess's mansion. It was

not until the princess's mansion was preparing for the New Year that Qiao Sheng and others realized that for such a long time, the plot had not moved forward at all. Up to now, the second prince was still imprisoned in the sky prison, and Princess Yong'an went to the camp outside the capital to train soldiers, and went to the palace to pay respects to the emperor.

Normally, when she went to the camp outside the capital, she would bring Qiao Sheng and a few others with her. When she entered the palace, they would also wait outside the palace gate. They were completely used as personal soldiers. It can be said that except for the eight concubines who served the princess personally, they were already very close to the princess.

The current Princess Yong'an really deserves the title of female warrior, and she has nothing to do with love brains.

No one expected that the turning point would happen when she entered the palace on the first day of the new year. At that time, Qiao Sheng and his friends were still staying outside the imperial city, together with the guards guarding the city. Usually, there were more people, and Lin Haiyang had a good temper, so he quickly became friends with this group of guards.

The guards of other princesses and ministers were standing outside in the cold weather waiting, but Qiao Sheng and his friends had already entered the room where the palace guards took a rest after changing shifts, and sat next to the brazier, leaning against sweet potatoes and chatting.

Suddenly, the gongs and drums sounded, and the guards who were resting in the house picked up their swords and ran out. Qiao Sheng and his friends followed Da Liuer and ran inside.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, they saw a group of people in black slaughtering indiscriminately. At this time, Princess Yong'an was wearing a rather complicated palace dress.

Qiao Sheng and his friends ran to a place where they could be seen and hid in the dark. If the princess was not in danger, they would hide aside, and if she was in danger, they would go forward to avoid affecting the plot.

No one expected that the black-clad men were so powerful in combat. During the banquets in the palace, military officers were not allowed to bring weapons

into the palace. Even the princess could not break this rule, so Princess Yong'an still used the sword that the emperor hung in the hall as a decoration, because the scabbard in her hand was inlaid with many gems. After many ministers who were unable to dodge were chopped to the ground, seeing that the leading black-clad man was about to kill the princess and the emperor, Qiao Sheng and his men had to take action, otherwise the protagonists would be killed if the plot was not completed

. However, they subconsciously thought that the leader should be an important person, so they all shot arrows at the other black-clad men. The leader quickly discovered them hiding in the dark, blew a whistle, and all the black-clad men began to prepare to retreat.

When the leader was about to climb over the wall to escape, Qiao Sheng ordered Li Mu to shoot an arrow at the man's shoulder. The arrow hit the man's right shoulder. Perhaps due to excessive inertia, the leader fell off the wall.

"Didn't Sister Qiao say not to touch the leader?" Xia Beibei didn't understand why it was different from what they had agreed.

"Li Mu shot him in the shoulder, so he won't be hurt. I was afraid that the crossbow would injure him too much, so I attacked him. It seems that we have misjudged the target. That Tianlang might not be the second prince imprisoned in the prison. Don't you think the back of the man in black looks familiar?" Qiao Sheng explained to them in a low voice.

"Is it Su Junqing? I just saw that although he can use the sword with his left hand, he still used his right hand to support the wall when he climbed over the wall. Obviously, he is not left-handed." Li Mu quickly thought of the suspect.

The five people retreated to the palace gate while talking. It was too troublesome to stay here. It would be better to go out and have a good discussion about Su Junqing.

They were squeezed out by the imperial guards who were there to deal with the aftermath. Because there were so many people, they didn't see Princess Yong'an looking at the direction where the men in black were retreating with a slightly worried look.

They waited outside until curfew before Princess Yong'an came out of the palace. Qiao Sheng and his men rode horses and followed the princess's team back to the princess's mansion. Just now, they heard a letter from the Tianlao outside the palace saying that the second prince of the foreign race had been kidnapped.

It seems that the goal of the men in black may be to rescue people. As for entering the palace, it is estimated that they are just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and if they can kill the emperor, it would be good. If they can't kill him, they can rescue their own family members.

When they arrived at the princess's mansion, Qiao Sheng and his men secretly observed Princess Yong'an's face, which was indeed very heavy.

After returning to the courtyard where they lived, Xia Beibei whispered that the princess was really a hidden talent. She was so busy every day, but she still had time to talk about love in the barracks.

"Maybe it hasn't come to that yet. We are usually by her side. Captain Su is indeed treated differently by the princess, but it's not too out of line." Qiao Sheng also felt that the plot was becoming more and more mysterious.

They played with the dark under the lamp, told them that the male protagonist was a captured prince, but did not say that there were several princes, nor did they say how they were captured, so they were misled.

Because everyone's attention was on the princess, the lights in her courtyard were turned off and then turned on again, and then Caiwei and Caihe came out to bring hot water, and there were medicine bottles on the tray, and Qiao Sheng and his friends could see it clearly.

If they were to say that Su Junqing was not in the princess's concubine, they would definitely not believe it.

Afterwards, blood-stained cotton cloth was hung in the backyard of the princess's concubine. Caiwei even cut her hand on purpose and ran to Qiao Sheng's yard to ask for medicine.

They were not stupid. They directly treated her with medicine for the first three times. Only on the fourth time did they give her half a bottle of Baibao Pills, and kept saying that Miss Caiwei was too careless and her hand was almost cut and broken. This medicine must be kept on hand. With

her left hand wrapped into a ball and the remaining Baibao Pills in her right hand, Caiwei's teeth were almost broken. This person was too much. He actually made her mutilate herself three times before giving her the medicine. It was because he had to ask for help from others and had to bow his head. Otherwise, she really wanted to cut them into pieces, especially Xia Beibei, who was the worst.

As the instigator of this incident, Xia Beibei didn't think she had any problem at all, and was quite happy. After all, Caiwei had set a trap for them more than once. She was messing with them as a human or a ghost. If you have the right but don't use it, you are a fool. If you don't get angry with her now, she will look down on them again when she takes the medicine.
