Another group of men in black have started fighting with the emperor's men again.
The first attack failed. The Emperor was not in the bedroom, and with too many Shadow Guards and Feather Guards, they had no choice but to retreat. They circled back from underground and launched a surprise attack, thinking that most of the people around the Emperor had been sent out, and now was a good time to kill him.
The other team was also prepared. Even if they couldn't kill him, they would destroy the palace and make him a king laughed at by the world, an emperor without even a palace, as a double insurance.
The emperor was indeed short of manpower at the moment. Most of them were sent out to search and hunt for people. A team was also sent to reinforce the Changping Marquis's Mansion. Only a dozen shadow guards and a team of imperial guards were left.
However, the imperial guards were probably led by the King of Chu's men. They were not very active in fighting the enemy and even pretended to be injured and defeated. Haha, they probably wanted to die at the hands of the enemy so that the King of Chu wouldn't have to do it himself.
The men in black fought desperately. The number of shadow guards around the emperor was decreasing. The bullets in the guns were empty and he had no more on him. The situation was extremely critical.
Bai Zhiyue followed the sound of fighting and saw the man in black stabbing the emperor with a knife.
A shot hit the hand holding the knife, and he took out a clip of bullets and threw it to Qin Minghao.
“Catch it!”
When Qin Minghao saw the man being shot, he knew it was Bai Zhiyue. He dodged another man in black and took the bullet. With the help of the shadow guard, he loaded it. Now he felt confident.
Any man in black who came forward was shot dead immediately. With the help of Bai Zhiyue, all the men in black fell to the ground in a short while, leaving only two alive.
"Why are you here?"
"I came after the men in black. They went to the Bo's house to arrest me."
"It seems that it was unsuccessful."
"Your Majesty, please call back all the people you sent out. I know where they are."
The emperor nodded and asked the shadow guard to recall the feather guard.
"Where?"
Bai Zhiyue pointed to the ground, and Qin Minghao immediately understood.
"There are tunnels in the palace. Did they all come in through the tunnels?"
"right"
"No wonder we keep chasing them, only to have them come back."
At this time, a group of soldiers and horses came outside the palace. They were from the emperor's Beidaying camp. In order to prevent internal rebellion, as soon as he discovered the assassination, he sent people to summon the soldiers and horses.
"I am too late to save you!"
It is indeed quite late, but there is nothing we can do. It will take some time for them to mobilize the troops from outside the city.
"Well, there is something that needs your attention."
"Madam Bai, you lead the way. Have them go down and bring everyone up."
"Okay, follow me!"
The imperial guards stood aside, not daring to say a word, hoping that the emperor had not noticed what had just happened.
"Go outside the palace and guard the city gates tightly. Don't let any fish slip through the net. Do not open the city gates without my order."
"yes!"
The leader of the imperial guards hurried away with his men.
The emperor sent them away because he didn't want them to know the situation in the tunnel, so as to avoid being used by the King of Chu again.
When they went down to the tunnel, they found that the underground was connected in all directions and the entire area where the emperor was located was filled with explosives. If they were all detonated at the same time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This team is the one that went to capture me. After they joined up with the team above, they made this plan. That team tried to assassinate the emperor again and forced him here. If they couldn't kill him, they would at least blow up this place as well."
"Madam Bai has performed a great service this time. If it weren't for you, I would have been hard-pressed to survive!"
Yes, it was very dangerous just now.
"I knocked the leader unconscious. He won't wake up for about six hours. Take him out for a thorough interrogation. The others should be gone.
We also discovered a place with traces of life, probably where they lived. There was also food inside, so there must be someone in the palace to meet them."
"Well, we interrogated four people the day we captured Ji Zirun. They might be them. Unfortunately, the steward committed suicide, so we were unable to extract any crucial information from him."
"There are many more tunnels. You can investigate the rest on yourselves. I have to go back now. I'm sure everyone in the mansion is anxiously waiting for me to return."
"Well, I will reward you based on your merits this time."
That's what I want from you.
"Okay, I hope I'm satisfied."
"Haha, I agree!"
It was already bright when he left the palace. He hurried back and brought Doudou out to a deserted place.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's over, and the results were better than expected!"
"That's not important, as long as you're okay!"
"Did you see what I packed in?"
"I saw so much gold and silver that it almost made my eyes blind. Where did mother move it from?"
"The people from the previous dynasty were hiding in the palace tunnels. They were quite cunning and set up their base in the palace, but I wiped them out."
"Next time they dare to come, we will move their lair. They must have hidden a lot of gold and silver, otherwise how could they afford to support the army and the people?"
"This time, most of our men have been killed, and the tunnel has been exposed. I'm afraid we won't dare to move again for the time being. Let's go back quickly. The people in the mansion are probably going crazy with worry."
They were really anxious, not only because the lady and the young master didn't come back, but also because they discovered that Su Chengang had been killed when they were cleaning the yard.
At that time, the men in black broke into the yard to search for Doudou, and the servants all hid. Su Chen was lying there unable to move, and was probably killed by the men in black.
Bai Zhiyue chased after everyone until they had left. After the servants had put out the fire, they turned around and remembered that the uncle was still lying in bed.
It didn't seem like a big deal at first glance, as the person was already dead. He had been stabbed in the chest with a sword, which should have been a fatal wound.
The masters were not in the mansion, and the servants were at a loss as to what to do.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw Bai Zhiyue coming back with the young master. Fortunately, as long as the lady was there, at least with the master in the mansion, they had a place to live.
Otherwise, the Earl's Mansion will be taken over by the royal family, and these people will have no choice but to be sold. Some of them are already old, and if they are sold again, they will definitely not be able to live a good life. They must be anxious.
"Madam, you are finally back. Is the young master okay?"
Qinglian hurried forward and looked from top to bottom.
"Madam, is your shoulder injury serious?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
"Madam, let me hold you. Your shoulder wound is not light. Go back and clean it and apply medicine."
Hongying took Doudou
"How's the situation in the mansion? How many casualties are there?"
"Madam, the casualties in the mansion are secondary. The uncle is gone!"
"Um?"
"It might have been done by the men in black during the search. The servants in the front yard were hiding and didn't see it."
"Oh, let's go and have a look!"
"Mom, I didn't expect him to die like this!"
"I wanted to torture him for a while longer, but it would be nice if he died like this."
Bai Zhiyue went into the house to check and found that the wound was not caused by the weapons brought by the men in black. She had noticed that the knife wounds of those people were not like this at all. The wound on Su Chengang's body looked like it was caused by a dagger or a dagger.
