Chapter 491: Assassination Turmoil
The young lady was Hu Qing'er, and when she learned the news of Song Jiang's entry into Beijing, her hatred made her heart irrepressibly boil.
The two went up to the second floor of the inn, pushed the door and entered an upper room, Hu Qing'er looked at the room, saw that the room was quite messy, frowned and asked, "You have always lived here?" ”
The white-haired old man carefully tore off his beard and wig, and then tore off the skin on his face, and suddenly turned into a young man about twenty years old, he was Lu Junyi's righteous son Yanqing.
On the day of the death of his father-in-law Lu Junyi, Yan Qing escaped Song Jiang's search by virtue of his clever makeup skills, disguised as an ordinary soldier, and then was incorporated into the army to go to Jiangnan to suppress bandits.
This time, after he learned the news that Song Jiang had entered Beijing to report on his work, he escaped from the barracks and rushed all the way to the capital.
Yan Qing knew the relationship between Hu Qing'er and Li Yanqing, so he guessed that Hu Qing'er must be hiding in Li Yanqing's house, and it took him three days to inquire about Li Yanqing's mansion and finally met Hu Qing'er.
The reason why Yan Qing wanted to find Hu Qing'er was that on the one hand, he and Hu Qing'er had the same hatred and had the same blood hatred, and on the other hand, Yan Qing's own martial arts were not high, he was good at makeup and short crossbows, and he spent ten years on these two skills, but the martial arts were deserted, and if he wanted to take revenge, he needed Hu Qing'er's assistance.
Yan Qing saw that the room was really messy, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I lived here for three days, I was busy with makeup and surveillance, and I couldn't take care of anything, which made Sanniang smile." ”
"Have you seen the Song thief?"
"I saw him, he went out early and returned late every day, his whereabouts were uncertain, and he was very well guarded."
"How tight?"
Yan Qing thought for a while and said: "He has about thirty guards, all of them are strong in martial arts, and the carriage he is riding in is also very strong, my short crossbow can't shoot through, I can only attack, with my ability, I can't defeat thirty strong guards with high martial arts." ”
"Have you ever thought about going into the mansion to assassinate you?" Hu Qing'er asked again.
Yan Qing shook her head, "It's even more impossible!" ”
He sighed and said: "Song Jiang brought a hundred guards into Beijing, thirty guards to guard him outside, and the other seventy people were deployed in the mansion, there were about a dozen mastiffs inside, the day before yesterday I pretended to pass by his mansion, walking outside the wall, I heard a fierce dog barking from the mansion, and there were no big trees outside, it was not easy to climb the courtyard wall that was a foot high." ”
"You're good at disguise, so you didn't think about blending into his house?"
"Of course I've thought about it, but it's not realistic, their meals are basically delivered, but the guys in the tavern can only be delivered to the door, and they can't enter the door for a single step, I have repeatedly thought about it, there is no other way than ambush and assassination."
Hu Qing'er nodded slightly, "Then give it a try!" ”
.........
When night falls, there is no tradition of curfew in the Song Dynasty, so that the night business is particularly prosperous, taverns, snack bars, tea houses, brothels, music shops and other places are open until late at night, and the business around Daxiangguo Temple is also noisy and lively, and there are people who come out to play for supper everywhere.
The room where Hu Qing'er and Yan Qing were still dark, Hu Qing'er was wearing a black night suit, holding a whip blade, staring intently at the street corner in the distance, Yan Qing was also dressed in black, he was holding a short crossbow, and a blue poisoned arrow had been installed on the short crossbow, the short crossbow was also called a hand crossbow, the volume was very small, it could be placed in a carry-on bag, and the crossbow arrow was the size of a saucer when opened.
The short crossbow is a sharp weapon for assassination, it can be fired with one hand after being equipped with a handle, and it can be hidden in the sleeve at ordinary times, which is very secretive, but the flaw is also obvious, that is, the range is short, the longest range is only thirty steps, and the killing range is only twenty steps at most, which is suitable for short-distance assassination.
Yan Qing has been practicing the short crossbow for ten years, and he has basically achieved 100 shots within 30 steps, and he is responsible for shooting on the periphery this time, including shooting horses, shooting guards and other auxiliary assassination methods, and assassinating Song Jiang is in charge of Hu Qing'er.
At this time, there was the sound of the carriage and the sound of dense horse hooves in the distance, and I saw a large group of soldiers in samurai uniforms escorting a carriage coming slowly, Hu Qing'er tensed his body and asked in a low voice, "Is it this carriage?" ”
Yan Qing nodded, "It's this carriage, the Song thief has returned home!" ”
There were still many pedestrians on the street, but the arrival of this carriage, protected by thirty cavalry, caused the pedestrians to dodge one after another, creating conditions for Hu Qing'er and Yan Qing, Yan Qing raised a short crossbow and aimed at the trailer horses in front, while Hu Qing'er clenched the whip blade and the assassination was about to be triggered.
Song Jiang was indeed sitting in the carriage, at this time Song Jiang had a gloomy face, it was originally scheduled for the Son of Heaven to summon him today, but after waiting for a day, the Son of Heaven canceled the summons on the grounds of physical discomfort, making him wait for a day in vain, Song Jiang knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven did not want to see him at all, so he found various reasons to shirk.
Song Jiang was recruited after the title of the governor, Huainan Jiedu envoy, the seal of Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, Yuncheng County Gong, frankly speaking, this position made him quite dissatisfied, and the conditions negotiated at the beginning are very different, at the beginning of the good talk of the crown prince Shaobao, Feng Tejin, but the actual official when these two titles are gone.
Although another title was given to replace the crown prince Shaobao, this title is only a county duke, and there is still a long way to go from the national duke he wants.
What made Song Jiang most dissatisfied was that Zhang Bangchang clearly said that he could choose a civil official, at least to be a servant of the Sanpin Household Department and serve as the prefect, except for the five capitals in the world, the other prefects could choose one of them, but when the official was actually sealed, the civil official did not mention it.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Bangchang also gave him an explanation, and the court's promise to appoint him as a civil official has not changed, provided that he wants to suppress bandits and make meritorious contributions, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the hundred officials of the court.
Of course, Song Jiang understood the meaning of Zhang Bangchang's statement, that is, the hundred officials of the imperial court opposed him to give him a civil official, which actually blocked his way to turn to a civil official, which made Song Jiang extremely depressed.
The high-grade military generals of the imperial court are called pension officials, once the Jiangnan bandit suppression is over, his position as the head of the capital will end, and the other whether it is the Huainan Jiedu envoy, or the opening of the palace with the three divisions, or what Yuncheng County Gong, are all fictitious positions in name only, he will be completely put aside, and receive a dry salary every month, there is no official office, no mansion, and even the soldiers can't support him, he knew that this was the result, what did he want to recruit An? It would be more practical to be the king in Liangshan.
Song Jiang's biggest dream is to be a local emperor in a state, and the rebellion can no longer realize such a dream, so he is counting on Zhao'an, he originally wanted to choose to be the prefect of Chengdu, and go to Bashan Shushui, which is far away from the emperor of the mountain, to divide one side, but now everything has changed, and the Son of Heaven refused to meet him for a few days, making it clear that he wanted to put him aside, and after Zhao'an, he kicked into the corner.
This made Song Jiang secretly hate in his heart, if the imperial court really wanted to be so ruthless and unrighteous, then he Song Jiang simply returned to Liangshan and once again raised the banner of righteousness.
The carriage was already approaching the mouth of the alley, when several men on horseback suddenly galloped on the opposite side, and the leader shouted, "Stop!" ”
The sudden change made Song Jiang's thirty personal soldiers suddenly vigilant, and they raised shields to protect the carriages and horses together, and the leader of the personal soldiers shouted: "Who is in front? ”
"We are the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, and we were ordered to come to tell Song Gong that it is not safe on the road these days, and there are thieves infested, please pay attention to protection!"
Song Jiang was a little strange in his heart, what does it have to do with the presence of thieves in the capital, and it is necessary to come to inform him? What's so famous about this?
"Thank you!" The leader of the pro-soldiers clasped his fists and saluted, but he did not dare to slack off.
The four horsemen turned their horses and left, and soon disappeared at the end of the long street, and when they saw each other walking away, thirty soldiers were extremely vigilant and escorted the carriage and horses slowly towards the alley more than a dozen paces away.......
The sudden reinforcement of the guards disrupted Hu Qing'er and Yan Qing's assassination plan, first of all, Yan Qing could not shoot the horses, and secondly, the soldiers raised their shields, which also made Hu Qing'er unable to find a chance to attack for a while, the two looked at each other and had to temporarily put down their weapons.
Just then, the door slammed! was kicked away, only to see a black shadow appear at the door, Yan Qing was taken aback, raised a crossbow and shot, Hu Qing'er recognized the other party at once, "Don't!" In a hurry, she slashed at Yan Qing's wrist with a palm, and Yan Qing's hand shook, "Click! With a bang, the crossbow suddenly missed, and the quenched short arrow nailed to the door frame.
A person walked in outside the door, it was Li Yanqing, he was holding a sword in his hand, and he glared at Hu Qing'er with anger on his face.
Li Yanqing has been here for a while, after he inquired about Song Jiang's residence, he locked the target of this inn, the seat of this inn is very suitable for assassination, he inquired with the guy, and learned that at dusk, a young lady followed a white-haired old man to the third room on the east side of the second floor, and the guy's description was Hu Qing'er.
At the critical moment, Yang Guang and the four of them pretended to be officials of Kaifeng Mansion and stopped Song Jiang's carriage, while Li Yanqing personally entered the room to stop the assassination.
"Who is it?" Yan Qing pulled out his waist knife and asked.
"It's me, Li Yanqing."
Li Yanqing glared at Hu Qing'er fiercely, "Qing'er, you come over to me!" ”
Li Yanqing's tone was very stern, and Qing'er lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
Yan Qing was annoyed in her heart and scolded, "It turned out to be you lackey!" ”
He swung his knife and threw himself at Li Yanqing, and at this moment, Hu Qing'er flicked the whip blade in his hand, flew out like lightning, and wrapped it around Yan Qing's neck.
"Xiao Yi, if you dare to touch my brother, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Hu Qing'er said in a non-negotiable tone,
