Chapter 599: A Chance Encounter
Wu Youren really had an impulse to give Liang Dazhong the result, he now concluded that the package that Liang Dazhong was carrying was the jade seal, and when he wrote the edict to the eldest princess, he didn't see the jade seal, such an important thing must be kept by someone, and the person who kept the jade seal was not Liang Dazhong, the head of the inner palace!
If it was in the past, Wu Youren would be a secretary of the ministry, but he didn't dare to do anything to Liang Dazhong, after all, for the head of the inner palace, a foreign minister would never have the idea of killing him.
But now, Wu Youren looked at Liang Dazhong's slightly rickety body, and thought: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, in my life, maybe there is such an opportunity!" ”
made up his mind, Wu Youren decided to make a move, anyway, as long as he got the jade seal, it would be impossible for Yang Ze and the eldest prince Li Yan not to forgive him, as long as he said that it was found on Liang Dazhong's body, and who killed Liang Dazhong, he didn't know, then no one would track it down, anyway, as long as he pushed it on the eldest princess's head, there would be no trouble.
Wu Youren followed closely, stretched out his hand, and wanted to choke Liang Dazhong's neck from behind and send Liang Dazhong to the Western Heavenly Elysium, but at this time, Liang Dazhong suddenly stopped and said, "Don't make a sound......
Wu Youren was startled, he wanted to strangle Liang Dazhong, but the other party reminded him not to make a sound, what is the situation? Well, it should be that I saw someone else and felt that it was dangerous, so I didn't make a sound. He quickly put his hand down and looked ahead.
Liang Dazhong pointed to the front and made a shushing motion, he didn't notice Wu Youren's movements, and he didn't know that Wu Youren had already killed him, he pointed to the front, and then pulled Wu Youren into a small door, hiding behind the door, through the carved window. Look outside.
They are in a small courtyard, the small courtyard plays a connecting role, and there is a small corridor, if they hide behind the flower gate of the corridor, then they can see the people outside, but the people outside can't see the inside, Liang Dazhong knows everything in the palace, as long as he and Wu Youren don't make a sound, then the people outside will not find them.
I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and more than a dozen people came in one breath. These people are all wolf, all of them have knives in their hands, and some of them even have two knives, but they are obviously not the imperial guards, and it is impossible for Yang Ze to take those Bohai warriors in Chang'an, just a glance can find that these people are hiding here for refuge.
Liang Dazhong pulled Wu Youren, and the two of them slowly squatted down, not daring to make a sound at all, just staring closely outside. Fortunately, this is a long window that falls to the ground, otherwise after they squatted down, there would be no gaps to watch.
After seeing the people who came in, Liang Dazhong and Wu Youren's eyes lit up at the same time. Both of them were very excited, but they were also quite scared, because they saw clearly that the person who came in turned out to be Li Zhenglong, the king of Linzi. And a dozen or so of his dead men.
At this time, it was completely determined that the eldest princess and the king of Linzi had failed, and the victor must be Yang Ze. Liang Dazhong and Wu Youren breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, knowing who was the final victor was enough for both of them.
Wu Youren thought to himself: "I can't end up with this old eunuch now, if he dies, I won't have a chance to escape, I am not familiar with the road in the palace, without this old eunuch to lead the way, I can't run the king of Linzi." Of course, even if I can kill this old eunuch now, I won't have a chance to kill him! ”
Liang Dazhong didn't have a scared expression at all, he didn't need to be afraid, anyway, even if Li Zhenglong and those dead soldiers found him, he would have time to escape, he was familiar with the path in this palace, don't look at his age, but if he played hide and seek, he would definitely beat Li Zhenglong, of course, the premise was to play in the palace.
Li Zhenglong entered this small courtyard under the escort of the dead soldiers, he really couldn't run, the palace was so big, and it was twisting and turning, they had to avoid the enemy's search and capture, and they ran extremely hard, he, the king of Linzi, was running almost out of breath, not only could not hold on physically, but even psychologically he was about to collapse.
It turned out that Li Zhenglong ran to the dormitory of Empress Dugu, the original meaning was to cry in front of Empress Dugu's body, no matter what, Yang Ze can't kill people in front of Empress Dugu's spirit, as long as he can hold Empress Dugu's body and cry and delay time, then when the eldest prince Li Yan comes, with his weak nature as an uncle, it is safe to let him live, as long as he survives this fateful moment, things in the future can be planned slowly, anyway, the key is to save his life.
But when he ran to Empress Dugu's bedroom, he heard the palace maid say that Empress Dugu had woken up, although she couldn't sit up yet, she could lie on the bed and turn over, but Empress Dugu didn't talk much, so she couldn't figure out whether she was awake now or continued to be confused.
At this time, the palace was very quiet, after the eldest princess left, the palace maids and the little eunuchs were still chaotic for a while, but when the Dugu Empress suddenly woke up, woke up without any warning, and asked the palace maids to give her water to drink, all the chaos in the entire palace disappeared instantly, for the people who live in the palace, as long as the Dugu Empress is still there, then anything can be solved, and there is no need to be afraid of anything.
After Li Zhenglong learned that Empress Dugu did not die, he was immediately overjoyed, so he thought of going into the inner hall to beg Empress Dugu and ask the imperial grandmother to forgive him for his crimes, in fact, he thought that he was not guilty, everything was done by the eldest princess, he was at most an accomplice, and he did not succeed in helping, the imperial grandmother would never kill herself, and she couldn't let him, who was a grandson, give her a funeral, right?
But when he entered the inner hall, knelt down for Empress Dugu, and crawled to the side of the bed, begging loudly, Empress Dugu somehow showed signs of fainting, and pointed at Li Zhenglong, and kept saying: "You, you, you ......" Except for the word you, there was no other word, after saying you three times, Empress Dugu's head was tilted on the pillow, her eyes were closed, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive!
The little palace maids and eunuchs suddenly screamed, scattered and fled, all shouting that the king of Linzi killed the emperor, this is the killing of the king! And the dead soldiers who were still waiting outside immediately broke in, all of them were carrying weapons in their hands, and saw Li Zhenglong kneeling beside the bed, and Empress Dugu lying on her back facing the sky, I really thought that Li Zhenglong had killed Empress Dugu, and even the faces of the dead soldiers were difficult to see, killing the monarch was a big crime to exterminate the nine clans. And it was the grandmother who killed, this Linzi prince is too much.
Li Zhenglong couldn't tell clearly, he stretched out his hand to probe Empress Dugu's snort, but he couldn't detect anything, maybe Empress Dugu's snort was too weak, he couldn't tell whether Empress Dugu was dead or alive!
was anxious, but the dead soldier guarding the door outside the hall ran in, saying that a team of people had come to kill, and they would kill anyone they saw, and they also shouted that they wanted to kill Li Zhenglong. It seems that Yang Ze gave the order, as long as it is dead, not alive.
At the critical juncture, Li Zhenglong also understood that for Yang Ze, there was nothing he didn't dare to do, even if he hid by the side of Empress Dugu, Yang Ze would also do it, those palace maids and little eunuchs who escaped. Isn't he shouting that he killed the king, doesn't this give Yang Ze the best reason to kill himself.
As for whether his imperial grandmother was really dead at this time, it didn't matter, Yang Ze grabbed himself and clicked. will still say that he is going to murder the emperor's grandmother, the key is that when he entered the inner hall, the Dugu Empress was not dead, if she came in, she was already dead. That can be pushed on the eldest princess's head, but now on whose head?
Li Zhenglong did things quite simply, and it seemed that he couldn't escape this catastrophe anyway. Then just run away, if you can escape from Beijing, then gather people from the Li clan outside Beijing, form a rebel army to kill Chang'an to the side of the Qing monarch, maybe there is still a chance of success.
So, Li Zhenglong fled with the dead soldiers, but he was caught up by the Bohai warriors, after a fight, there were only a dozen dead soldiers left around him, and he still wanted to escape from Chang'an, but the result was that he was forced to run around the palace, not to mention escaping from Chang'an, he couldn't escape from the palace!
Escaping into this small courtyard, Li Zhenglong found a place to sit down, gasped and said: "This king did not kill the imperial grandmother, did not kill the king, you must not listen to the rumors, in fact, now whether the imperial grandmother has really died, it is impossible to be sure, and it is estimated that she has not died yet, this king said this, do you understand?" ”
At this moment, what's the use of saying this, even if the dead man believes it, but if Yang Ze doesn't believe it, isn't he still dead!
The dead soldiers all nodded, expressing their belief, anyway, Li Zhenglong could say anything, anyway, it seemed that no one of them would be able to escape from the palace today, and those fierce students should soon be chased here.
Li Zhenglong looked around, until the last moment, he would never admit defeat, and he was very sober now, and he would not go crazy like the eldest princess, he was thinking in his heart, how could he escape from the palace, the palace has a side door, especially the small door next to the imperial kitchen, which is usually used to transport vegetables and fruits, and has always been not strictly guarded, if he escapes from that small door, the chance of success will be great, but how to go to the imperial kitchen from here?
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, although the sound of horses' hooves was not urgent, but Li Zhenglong knew that it was the pursuers who had arrived, and he was riding a horse in the palace, except for those soldiers, there could be no one else!
He jumped up and said, "Listening to the voice, there are a lot of people, let's go west, if we go slowly, I'm afraid they will catch up......"
Without saying anything, the dead soldiers also jumped up, but they shook their heads together, and one of the dead soldiers said: "Lord, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use it for a while, there are many of us, if we escape together, it is estimated that it is impossible, let's go and lead away those shengfan, prince, you hide in this courtyard first, and when Shengfan is gone, you go to the west!" ”
After that, the dead man strode towards the outside of the courtyard, and the dead soldiers followed behind one after another, only one extremely tall dead man stayed, Li Zhenglong's side always needed someone to protect him, and this tall dead man volunteered to stay.
Li Zhenglong sighed and said to the dead man: "You help this king, this king wants to hide in a tree!" ”
Wu Youren and Liang Dazhong, who were hiding in the shadows, nodded together, smart, hiding in a tree is safer than hiding in a house, even if someone comes to search, they generally won't look up at the tree, but, unfortunately, they all know where Li Zhenglong is hiding, as long as someone comes in to search, they will point out, and the credit for capturing the king of Linzi will be available immediately!
