Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 768
Before the commotion inside and outside the Ximing Hall of Xiangguo City occurred, a tragedy had already occurred in the city.

In an inconspicuous alley near Xiangshui in the city, there is a manor with a deep courtyard, guarded both inside and outside, it can be seen that the people living in the manor are unusual.

The night was hazy, there were not too bright lights in the manor, and the surroundings were quiet and silent.As night approached, the spirit of the guards inside and outside gradually weakened, and they either leaned against the wall of the porch and fell asleep, or went directly to the side room to sleep lazily.

At this time, in the shadows of the street, more than a dozen night walkers with quick movements and vigorous skills were quietly approaching the manor.

A flying stone hit the lintel of the manor. The sound was quite ear-piercing in this quiet environment. It immediately alarmed several guards inside and outside the porch. With a vague curse sound, the tense heartstrings relaxed, and the whole person was much more relaxed than before.

quack...

There was an innocuous cry of a night crow, and after ten breaths, several swift figures like cheetahs suddenly appeared in the night!The guard's vision has caught this strange scene while he is half asleep and half awake, and his heart is also full of warning signs, but his body's reaction is slow, and his mouth is half open. There was a sudden flash of cold light in the corner of the eye, the sharp blades in the sleeves of these black shadows had either cut their throats or smashed their chests, all of them were killed with one blow, and they dealt with the four guards outside the door neatly.

These people were skillful in skills and light in movement. Not only were their bodies covered in black, but even their feet were covered with lifeless silk shoes.The few guards outside the door were eliminated, and the people inside the door were not even surprised.

After that, several figures in the remaining shadows all stuck to the wall and quickly approached the two sides of the gate. One person tapped on the door with his hand, and the sound immediately aroused the alarm inside the door. The blade sticks out, easily reaping human lives!
Within a few breaths, seven or eight guards inside and outside the gate were all eliminated. Although there were many abnormal noises on the way, they were all controlled to a limited extent.Then these dozen or so people sneaked into the manor and spread out, quickly searching and killing those guards who were lax. Naturally, some accidents occurred in the process, which were noticed by the guards in advance, but even so, these sneakers fought with great skill one by one. They were all so clever that they didn't give the guards any room to struggle and fight back, and ended the battle cleanly.

Soon the whole manor was dead silent, the infiltrators each carried a corpse and returned to the vestibule, throwing all the corpses in one place for counting.Then one of the leaders put away his weapon and hurried to the courtyard.

There are lights flickering in the hall in the atrium, and there are two people sitting opposite each other, talking and playing chess.One of them was Qian Feng, and sitting opposite him was Cheng Ya's trusted family members who had arranged to accompany him.Compared to Qian Feng's calmness, Cheng Xia's confidant seemed a little anxious, frequently looking out of the doors and windows, not paying attention to the chess game in front of him, and always asking Qian Feng to tap the chessboard with a chess piece to remind him to cheer up Let's think about it.

"Mr. Qian is worthy of being one of the wisest people in the South, who is able to sit quietly and remain calm in the face of such an important event."

After being reminded a lot, the Cheng family also felt a little shy and apologized to Qian Feng.

"I don't know what kind of cleverness I am, but I only have one or two words, but I don't have the strength to fight. When I really do something, I don't have the strength to fight. I can only wait outside and wait for the destiny."

After Qian Feng heard the words, he laughed, but unfortunately his face was too horrified, and people dare not look directly at it without covering it.

"Mr. is too humble. The owner of the house has a good reputation and confidantes for him. In the future, Mr. will be famous in China and become a humerus."

Hearing that person's compliment, Qian Feng smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be so lucky..."

At this moment, there was a loud banging sound outside the hall, and the faces of the Cheng family members changed suddenly after hearing the sound, and they said to the two people standing in the court, "Quickly go and check what happened?"

As soon as the words were finished, the man in black had already entered the hall together. Seeing this, the man was even more panicked, and was about to turn around to call Qian Feng to avoid him, but saw that Qian Feng had stood up suddenly, holding the chessboard in his hand, and threw it down on him.The shock happened suddenly, and the person had no room to react. There was a rumble above his head and then a sharp pain, and then he fell on the case unconscious.

Knocking down the person in front of him with a chessboard, Qian Feng lowered his head and wiped off the buttermilk that had spilled on the hem of his clothes. When he raised his head, the fight between the man in black and the other two had ended, and the two bodies were lying there.Then the man in black walked forward, cupped his hands to Qian Feng and said: "Sir, there are 26 guards inside and outside, all of them were killed, and none were missed."

"Very good, please go and ask Master Yan to come here and leave later."

After Qian Feng gave an order, he turned around and went indoors. When he came out again, he had already removed his toga and changed into a light night clothes.At this time, the gray-haired Yan Mu was also held here by two Longxi soldiers, and he was awakened in his sleep with lingering fears. Seeing Qian Feng dressed up like this, he said in panic, "Shiyi, what happened?"

"There will be shocking changes in the slave country, and we will leave soon."

Qian Feng handed the changed clothes and accessories to the nearby Longxi soldier, and then these clothes and accessories were hung on the corpse of a guard who was somewhat similar in size to Qian Feng.As for Yan Mu, who was still a little dazed at the moment, he could only be manipulated by others, his white beard and white hair were all cut off by a sharp knife, his original fairy-like posture no longer existed, and he was a strong man with a ruddy complexion and a shaved head.

The corpses of the guards were all gathered in the atrium hall, and the ointment and some flammable cloths found in the manor were also piled up here, and then a burning candle was erected at each of the four corners and covered with a gauze.When the candle is about to run out, it will ignite the ointment and cloth all over the courtyard, which can be regarded as a simple delay.

Then, dozens of people surrounded Qian Feng and Yan Mu hurriedly left here, taking advantage of the night to walk through the intricate streets and alleys in Xiangguo City.

Although a large number of imperial guards in the city had gone to the Mingtang to guard and defend, the basic city defenses were still maintained, so Qian Feng and the others did not flee directly across the city, but went to the pre-prepared foothold in the city to stay temporarily.

It wasn't until this time that Qian Feng quickly explained to Yan Mu why he had to escape at night urgently.

Cheng Xia will launch it at night, if he fails, he will be decapitated in a different place, and Qian Feng is not strict about his recent close relationship with him, and he can't hide it from others.It is naturally impossible for Qian Feng to take such a big risk to live and die with Cheng Ya.

And even if this person succeeds, Qian Feng will never believe his nonsense of promoting food and sharing.Cheng Xia has also been in the slave country for decades, so it is impossible for him to really attract Qian Feng as his confidant and obey him.Previously, they might have relied heavily on Qian Feng to conspire, but when it was actually launched, Qian Feng was not directly involved and informed of more secrets. Instead, he and Yan Mu chose a place to resettle them. They said it was protection, but in fact they were still detained , still not convinced.

Even if everything goes well tonight, Cheng Xia can successfully control the inside and outside, and he will have a large number of followers to share the victory.Qian Feng only had one or two schemes, even if Cheng Xia was willing to believe in him, it was impossible for him to pay all the important things regardless of the sentiments of others.

Even if Qian Feng wants to stay by Cheng Xia's side, he still has to face the intrigue with these people.What's more, the only thing Qian Feng can win Cheng Xia's attention is the ability to conspire, but if it is successful, to stabilize the situation of the slave country afterwards, it is by no means a conspiracy. The effect that can be exerted is negligible.

For Qian Feng, the important thing is not whether Cheng Xia can succeed in the end, but whether he can kill Shi Le.He insisted on joining this matter because he really wanted to help Cheng Ya formulate a plan to kill Shi Le. As for how Shi Le would control the situation after his death, he had a cramp in his head, so he stayed and endured with Cheng Ya in the boiling furnace of the slave country. The suffering of cooking and frying!Due to lack of manpower, Cheng Xia didn't send too many people to watch Qian Feng this night. This was his chance to escape.If he stayed, he would either be completely under the control of others, or Cheng Xia would be implicated in his failure.

Although Yan Mu had guessed a little before, he didn't know Cheng Ya's specific plan to kill the king. At this time, he heard Qian Feng say that Cheng Ya asked him for the mysterious powder to poison Zhao Lord Shi Le. The mood is also ups and downs, complicated to the extreme, I don't know whether to be proud or to sigh.He didn't have any ambitions in his life, he just relied on some mysterious means to hang around in the north and south in order to get ample food and clothing, but his fate tricked people, no matter where he was in the south or the north, he would be involved in such a big rebellion. Could it be that he was born with a destiny Is it a traitor?

Qian Feng was not in the mood to pay attention to Yan Mu's feelings, but sat alone with his eyes closed, his thoughts were spinning rapidly.He knew that after this night, regardless of Cheng Xia's success or failure, the slave country would be in chaos. This was undoubtedly excellent news for Huainan's son-in-law, so the most urgent task at the moment was to spread the news back to Huainan as soon as possible.

However, Qian Feng also has a lot of anticipation and wait-and-see attitude about whether Cheng Xia can succeed, and how the situation of the slave country will evolve in the future, and this is also to give himself an explanation.He has traveled from north to south, and every time he seeks a big deal, if Cheng Xia succeeds there, it will be a consolation to him.

The group of people did not stay here for a long time, the west of Xiangguo city was already full of flames, and the sound of riots could be clearly heard even in the city. , running around the street to inquire, trying to figure out what happened.

Once a riot occurs, it spreads quickly.So Qian Feng and the others didn't stay any longer, and took advantage of the turmoil to rush out of the city, snatching two carriages along the way, and soon rushed to the outskirts of the city.

Previously, there were hundreds of thousands of households in Xiangzhou and abroad, and even the suburbs were crowded and crowded. It has improved somewhat, at least the countryside is no longer a messy scene of shacks stretching out to gather food and drink together.

Qian Feng and the others ran for a while in the countryside, and encountered many panic-stricken households on the way, but they didn't dare to approach them when they saw that they had a strong posture.When it was almost dawn, the group of people went around to the Mingtang in the west of the city.

At this time, the outside of the Ming Hall was already in a mess, and the commotion had not stopped. There were dilapidated tents, burnt marks, damaged vehicles, and messy corpses everywhere around the Ming Hall.

Although there are also imperial guards here to maintain order and protect the relatives of the rich and powerful, but the accident happened too suddenly, especially the riots broke out in the more important hall, and the imperial guards have no intention of maintaining order here, and in order to After rushing into the hall, even the imperial guards joined in the rush, which undoubtedly exacerbated the degree of commotion.

Therefore, outside the bright hall at this moment, there are many people scattered and mourning everywhere. The powerful concubines and wives who were originally raised in the deep pavilion are all in messy dresses and naked clothes, mixed with many poor people.And the imperial guards who joined in later were not polite to these people, they used their strength as armored soldiers to rampage among the disorderly people, and there were many cases of looting and mutilation.

Qian Feng and the others didn't dare to get too close, they stayed in the dense forest where they could see the Mingtang from a distance, and separated a few people to sneak in to find out the latest situation.

The turmoil outside the Ming Hall continued until noon, before it gradually calmed down.The gate of the palace, which had been closed all the time, was finally slowly opened. The first people who appeared at the gate of the palace were Shangshu Pu She Guo Yin, Guanglu Doctor Cheng Xia, General Wei Lu Ming and Sili Xiaowei Liu Zheng and other important officials.These people did not go out of the bright hall completely, but the imperial guards who stood in front of the palace gate and sent orders to the outside to receive orders, so the imperial guards, led by the commander, expelled the scattered officials' family members outside the Ming hall. In some fixed areas, the internal and external passages of the Ming Hall were cleared, and then some soldiers entered the Ming Hall.

Through these signs, Qian Feng could already judge that Cheng Xia should have initially controlled the situation. In other words, Zhao Lord Shi Le must have died.After confirming this point, Qian Feng was also full of emotions. Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. Shi Le overestimated his prestige and thought that there would be no chaos if he was in charge of the country. Few ministers who could act alone gave Cheng Xia, a rabbit, the opportunity to make a sudden attack and master the ban.

However, even if Cheng Ya controlled the forbidden center, Qian Feng was still not optimistic about his prospects, and all the slaves and powerful troops were dispatched outside, leaving the center empty and weak, which gave Cheng Xia a chance to attack.However, he lived up to expectations, and even including his heir Shi Daya, he couldn't deter the internal and external public opinion at all, and at most maintained a situation of internal and external confrontation. In the case of the Forbidden Army, otherwise, as long as any strong minister returns to the country, Cheng Xia may not have a good death!
After the news of Shi Le's death was confirmed, Qian Feng didn't stay any longer, and a group of people gathered to leave Xiangguo, where they had stayed for more than a year.On the way, when he first arrived here, the Feng family, the ancestor of his hometown, who took him in and recruited him, added some supplies, and at the same time warned the Feng family that there would be chaos in the slave country, and advised them to leave their hometown to avoid disaster.However, with the help of Qian Feng, the situation of this Xiangzong family has improved a lot, and they didn't take Qian Feng's warning seriously. On the contrary, his wife, who was acting on the occasion, followed her and left her hometown.

On the second day when Qian Feng was on his way back to the south, the news of the chaos in the slave country came later.After all, Cheng Xia's good luck didn't last until the end. Shi Kan learned of Shi Le's death prematurely. As a result, Shi Kan sent troops to Yecheng to attack Xiangguo.

After hearing the news, Qian Feng did not stay to wait for the final result of the battle.

In the future, whether it is Cheng Xia or Shi Kan who controls the state of Xiang, they will definitely not be recognized by the powerful ministers outside. With Shi Le's death, the disintegration of the slave state is a foregone conclusion. In addition to Shi Kan, there are also Shi Hu who is leading troops to the south, Shi Sheng who is fighting in Han Mian, and Kui'an and other Jie people who were sent by Shi Le just before.No matter which one of these people can win in the end, they will have to go through a fierce battle.

Moreover, in the process of domestic strife in Jie, there may be new forces emerging to join it. Shi Le's achievements in half-life struggle will die with him, and will never exist again!The entire land of the Central Plains may once again be divided into pieces, and the situation of all heroes rising together!
Great chaos leads to great progress, and Qian Feng is ready to return home. Not only does he want to inform his son-in-law about the latest developments in Jie Kingdom as soon as possible, but he is also eager to see that the leader of the southern country can lead the southerners to travel far in the new round of chaos. which step!
　After the chapter, I wanted to say something, but I was in a complicated mood, and I didn't know what to say. . .
