Early the next morning, when Dai Xiuyuan was about to go to see Li Liang, a eunuch came to the door with two large boxes of jewels and belongings, and told him with a smile on his face that His Majesty the King would preside over the sacrifice to heaven the day after tomorrow, and he was busy fasting and preparing for the past two days, so he was afraid that he would not have time to meet the angels.
The eunuch put down the gift and left, Dai Xiuyuan frowned and looked at his back, and said angrily in his heart, this is not a New Year's Day, what day is it sacrificed?
Li Liang clearly wanted to delay time, and in a few days, when the North Korean sailors had completed their supplies and left Hong Kong to go south, he would definitely pretend to send people to "recover" the sailors. Of course, if you think about it with your feet, you can know that the people sent there will definitely be in vain.
Dai Xiuyuan touched the pardon book he was carrying with him again, and said secretly, if you want to hide, it's okay? Worship the sky? The Korean civil and military courtiers will be present more often, but it is just right!
The sun and the moon changed twice, and on this day, Dai Xiuyuan led people to wait on the road on the outskirts of the city. Sure enough, at dawn, more than 700 people were seen carrying sacrifices such as cattle and sheep, wine and meat, as well as ritual utensils such as bells and chimes, from the south gate of Seoul - this is no small pomp and circumstance for North Korea.
Dai Xiuyuan was also not polite, and immediately stepped forward to stop Li Liang's team to sacrifice to the sky.
The king of Joseon was apparently taken aback, and hurriedly invited an angel to his chariot and asked carefully: "Dai Angel...... What are you going to do here? ”
Dai Xiuyuan was from the Ming Dynasty in the end, and he was still in awe of such a thing as sacrificing to the sky, so he only said: "The lower official wants to go to worship with His Royal Highness." Thinking in his heart, when the sacrifice was over, he read out the pardon letter to Shen Li Liang in front of all the Korean officials, and strictly ordered him not to send sailors to take prisoners.
Li Liang had no choice but to squeeze out a smile, so he had to ask the eunuch to vacate a car, bring the Great Tomorrow Envoy with him, and divide dozens of forbidden soldiers to protect him.
When the North Korean members in the heavenly worship procession witnessed this scene, they couldn't help but look sideways at Dai Xiuyuan, who was behind the procession, and talked in a low voice......
"This angel suddenly stopped, looking unkind......"
"I don't think anything big is going to happen."
"Could it be that the previous Hulu came to Seoul was learned by the Ming Dynasty......"
"Shhhhh Lord Min, you don't want to die? I can't talk about it. ”
"Yes, yes......"
On the outskirts of Seoul, three peasant men dressed in rags squatted in the grass, staring at the procession hundreds of paces away.
The forbidden army guarding in front of the team walked past them with their heads held high, but they all turned a blind eye, and Cui Minhou, the official of the Praetorian Guard who led the team, even glanced at those people without a trace.
The masked man at the head saw Li Liang's car gradually approaching, calculated the distance, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates in a low voice: "Light the fire!" ”
The masked man next to him answered, took out the fire fold and blew it up, and picked up a fuse on the ground and put it up.
After a while, the leader turned his head and said hurriedly: "Okay?!" ”
The masked man who lit the fire was sweating profusely, and his face was pale, "Probably the ground is back in early winter, and the fuse is no longer lit!" ”
"Rubbish! Change! ”
"Yes, yes."
The other two masked men took out the spare fuse from the pocket behind them, inserted one into the barrel in front of them, and were about to crouch back, but the leader scolded angrily: "Xiba! Two idiots! Spread something under the fuse, or it will get damp again! ”
"Yes, yes......"
The two of them hurriedly took off their clothes and put them underneath, and then re-lit the fuse, and then ran towards the grass in the distance without looking back.
Due to the delay of the three of them for a moment, when the fuse more than four feet long was halfway burned, Li Liang's car had already driven by.
"What's smoking?!"
Finally, an officer of the Korean forbidden army saw the strange appearance in the grass and hurriedly led his subordinates to check. As soon as a few people picked up the weeds with the tip of their knives, they heard a loud noise that shook the sky, and they were immediately torn to powder by the violent explosion.
Starting from the middle of the procession, more than 20 powder kegs exploded one after another on the east side of the road, and the flames continued seven or eight feet away, and the flames soared into the sky.
The forbidden troops on both sides of the team were the first to suffer, and the officials close to the east were not spared, and in an instant, nearly 200 corpses were scattered and scattered, and the screams were heard one after another. The carriages, horses, and ritual weapons in the honor guard were also blown to pieces, blocking the road, and the neighborhood was immediately in chaos.
The carriage that Dai Xiuyuan was riding was in the middle of the heavenly sacrifice procession, and although it was still more than three zhang away from the core of the explosion, it was still overturned by the strong air wave and fell to the side, and the main beam of the carriage was broken into several sections.
"There are assassins!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The shouts rang out everywhere, and Li Liang was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body - if he had walked a little slower, he would have been locked by black and white impermanence at this time.
Cui Minhou, who was walking in the front, heard the explosion and hurriedly looked back, but saw that the king's car was escaping.
He stomped his foot hard in frustration, it was rare that Li Liang suddenly wanted to leave the heavily guarded palace to go to the suburbs to worship the sky, and Zhang Dongjun, a fool, actually missed!
"My lord, what shall we do?"
Cui Minhou saw that there was a mess in the middle of the road, although Zhang Dongjun did not blow up the main owner, but obviously a lot of gunpowder was used, and at least half of the forbidden army beside Li Liang died.
He gritted his teeth vigorously and said to his henchmen: "Send a signal, let Zhang Dongjun and them do it together!" There are more than 100 of us in total, and we took advantage of the chaos to kill the faint king! ”
"Yes!" His men then took out their whistles and blew them violently.
Cui Minhou drew his sword and shouted, "Come with me!" Great achievements are just around the corner! ”
At the same time, more than 50 masked men armed with knives and guns emerged from the barren grass in the distance, screaming and rushing towards Li Qi's car.
As soon as the forbidden army beside Li Liang recovered from the panic of the explosion, he saw the official of the janissary rushing over, thinking that he was here to answer, but unexpectedly, these people would cut down without saying a word, and twenty or thirty forbidden soldiers died in the blink of an eye.
Kim Jae-soon, the deputy of the Korean Janissary, hurriedly led people forward to intercept him, and ordered others to escort the king to retreat to Seoul.
Although the number of forbidden troops loyal to Li Ju was relatively large, they suddenly encountered a big chaos and were unsettled, and Cui Minhou's side was in full swing, and it was difficult for Kim Jae-chun to parry, and it took a while to collapse.
Cui Minhou saw Li Liang's figure from afar, and hurriedly pointed with his knife, "There!" ”
But a loyal courtier picked up the weapon of the dead forbidden army and stepped forward to intercept it, Cui Minhou turned his heart and shouted: "Anyone who stands in the way, kill me!" ”
"Yes!"
Dozens of assassins were immediately cut down when they met someone, and they fought their way through the sacrificial procession.
Although Dai Xiuyuan brought more than 100 people to North Korea, today is to worship the heavens, so there are only three entourages by his side. One person was seriously injured and one unconscious in the explosion, and half of his body was soaked in blood when the only remaining old servant dragged him out of the carriage.
Cui Minhou's people were already red-eyed at this time, and when they saw Dai Xiuyuan in the middle of the road, they stepped forward and kicked the old servant away, and then raised their knives and stabbed Dai Xiuyuan.
