Chapter 54
Zhao Qing looked at the three people who expressed their whereabouts, and felt deeply moved in his heart. This can be regarded as a good home for the three of them.

Unknowingly when outside the window, it began to rain continuously, pattering like a prelude to farewell.

……

It is about three thousand miles from Jingzhou to the capital.

Passing through the tall Yongding Gate, Zhao Qing stepped into this bustling capital city alone.

Counting back more than [-] years, Jingzhou City was Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, and this was Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.But now, times are easier, and the development of the two is very different.

It was the first time for Zhao Qing to see a large ancient city with a population of one million.The inner street of Yongdingmen is astonishingly wide, full of traffic, very lively.

Some martial arts practitioners wrapped their weapons in their bundles and walked silently along the edge of the street, not going back to the publicity they used to do in other areas.

In the capital city, there are many eyes and ears, and most people in the rivers and lakes are careful to avoid accidents.

But what these people could never have imagined was that Zhao Qing, who was walking with them, was not only planning to cause disasters when he went to Beijing this time, but also wanted to cause the most serious ones.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhao Qing left the horses in the backyard of the inn, and sneaked into the palace alone.

She was dressed in black night clothes, with a black-painted steel round shield attached to her back, a blood knife in her left hand, and a long sword in her right hand. The shoes were also specially treated to eliminate the sound of walking as much as possible.

The palace wall in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City is relatively low, and inside is the place where the servants live, and there are no guards to patrol.Zhao Qing explored for a while, came to the side of the North Thirteenth Row, quietly walked around behind a big tree and hid, waited for the guards to pass by, tapped his feet, and lightly jumped into the palace wall.

The guards inside the palace are not as strict as those outside the palace. After all, it is the backyard of the palace. In the middle of the night, most of the guards cannot stay overnight.

Regarding the residence of Emperor Jiaqing, Zhao Qing had inquired about it in advance. It should be in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the west of Qianqing Palace.

Zhao Qing's internal energy is profound, even though he is in the dark, he sees things like ordinary people in daylight.She walked quickly and hid in the corner of the house or behind the woods when guards and watchmen patrolled her.

Passing westward between Leshou Hall and Yangxing Hall, bypassing a long corridor, Zhao Qing passed Xuanqiong Palace, Jingyang Palace, and Zhongcui Palace to the Imperial Garden.

Then she went around along the west side of Kunning Palace, Jiaotai Hall, and Qianqing Palace to the east of Yangxin Hall, gently jumped up the courtyard wall, entered from Yuehua Gate and ZY Gate, and soon stood at the Yangxin Gate top.

From a distance, I saw the plaque outside the hall in the distance, with the words "Hall of Mental Cultivation" written on it, and there were cursive Manchu characters beside it.

Looking at the vermilion palace walls and yellow glazed tiles under the light of the lanterns carried by the guards and eunuchs outside the palace, Zhao Qing knew that the first critical step had come.

To be honest, she didn't expect her sneaking into the palace to be so smooth. Not only did she not see the head of the sea, the deputy head of the game, but she didn't even see a few ordinary first-rate and second-rate players.

But this is more in line with common sense. After all, I am going to break into the palace today, but the people in the palace don't know it at all.

Back then, Gui Xinshu encountered so many guards, the main reason was that Kangxi had found out information from the traitor and stepped up the guarding.In fact, during the period of Xiaoao, Dan Qingsheng had the ability to break into the palace and take away the royal chef. Although it was not aimed at the emperor, it can be seen.

The reason why I said I didn't see a few good players, not that there were no good players, was because at this moment, there were indeed two first-class guards guarding the gate of the hall.

The two of them may have stood at the gate of the temple for a long time, and they were too bored. One was counting the tassels on the saber at his waist with his fingers one by one; It seems that he is practicing some kind of hard qigong, and he is quite diligent.

But judging from the long aura of the two of them, they still have some attainments in internal strength.

Except for these two people, there are still forty or fifty guards guarding the Yangxin Hall with swords, and the guards are heavily guarded.It is estimated that these people are all shifts at night. After a day's rest, they are full of energy at night.

There were so many of these guards, if they wanted to kill them all in one go, someone would definitely make a noise before they died, and it would be extremely difficult to break into the palace silently.

Just when Zhao Qing decided to jump down the Yangxin Gate and kill the guards by force, four eunuchs in the distance raised the palace lanterns and led two officials over.

While the guards were checking the identities of the officials, Zhao Qing swept his body and landed lightly on the eaves of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.She folded her weapon and lowered her body, lifted the glazed tiles, and exerted a soft and soft energy to the bottom with the inner strength of the Divine Illumination Skill.

But after hearing the slight sound of rustling sand and sand, a small hole was opened on the roof of the temple.

Zhao Qing looked down and saw several eunuchs lighting candles in the hall, and a tall, thin and bald military officer standing on the right side of the emperor, who seemed to be deeply trusted.

Two elderly officials were standing bowed on the side of the throne, reporting political affairs, mainly talking about the famine in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, saying that some people have gathered a crowd to revolt in recent days, and they suspected that people from the Red Flower Society were involved.

He is quite diligent, but unfortunately he is a Manchu emperor.In addition, the Red Flower Society still exists now, and it is indeed possible to contact in the future.

Now that the emperor's position was confirmed, Zhao Qing raised the blood knife and drew a full circle on the roof above him, cutting off two rafters.Accompanied by the tiles and dust falling from the sky, she has already jumped down from the palace.

While the black shadow was swaying, Zhao Qing swiftly and mercilessly stamped Jiaqing's back with a palm.Under the interweaving of strength, in an instant, he felt his five internal organs shifted, his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the spot.

But soon, the growing pain in his heart made him wake up again, and he could only lie down on the desk.

Of course, fearing that the emperor who had never practiced martial arts was too weak to bear the excessive pain, Zhao Qing greatly reduced the strength of his palms. Otherwise, with Jiaqing's physique, he would have fallen to the ground and howled in pain, losing the emperor's face.

He never expected to be attacked by an assassin in the middle of the night without any warning. The tall and thin bald old man standing next to the emperor had no time to defend himself. .

Knowing that he had committed a serious negligence of duty, the old man panicked, and with strong wind in his palms, he slapped Zhao Qing one after another.Each palm strike has a sound of wheezing, as if someone in the palm is exhaling rapidly.

Zhao Qing took a look at the old man, and stretched out his hand to take the pulse on Jiaqing's wrist to check the situation behind his palm, and at the same time met his palm casually.But when he heard the sound like a beating, the old man's face was blood red, he took four or five steps back, and suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood.

With just one slap, Zhao Qing has found out the old man's reality, and guessed that the other party is likely to be Director Hai who has practiced the martial arts of Shenlongjiao. Not your opponent.

This sneak attack has been completely successful.But this does not mean that he has achieved success and controlled the current emperor.

An emperor who is controlled by the Han people, will the Manchu nobles be willing to let him continue to be the "emperor"?Zhao Qing didn't know what the result would be, but she was ready to deal with the enemy's counterattack.
