Chapter 58 Assassination
In order not to show her face, Mrs. Zhang got into Li Lingyue's carriage, the old and the young sat opposite each other, silent for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Lingyue had no choice but to take the initiative to find a topic to chat with Zhang.

"If I'm not mistaken, the word that the old lady wrote just now should be loyal'loyalty', right? Is this written for your son?"

No wonder Li Lingyue asked this question, because throughout the ages, any literate woman would not be able to write such words. Even if she was concerned about the country and the people, she would express it through graceful poems, writing "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" on rice paper, That's something men love to do, except of course Yue Fei's mother.

Therefore, Li Lingyue guessed that the words written by Zhang were in honor of his dead son.

Li Lingyue's unintentional words irritated the old mother again.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hide her sadness, and asked angrily:
"Loyalty? What is loyalty? Can the emperor see the loyalty bought with his life? Can the people of the world see it?"

Li Lingyue was speechless for a while, looking at the white-haired old woman in front of her, she clenched her fists tightly, met Zhang's gaze, and assured her:

"I can see it! I must see it!"

After finishing speaking, Li Lingyue opened the window and urged He Shan beside Gongwei: "Uncle, let everyone speed up!!"

"Princess, you are welcome!" He Shan laughed loudly, and was about to embrace his orders.

But in the next moment, his eyes opened with anger, and the expression on his face suddenly changed!

Before Li Lingyue could get curious, He Shan slapped the carriage, and the carriage was pushed out sideways, and the horse running in front was pulled back by this push.

The violent vibration caused Li Lingyue's body to hit the car wall heavily.

The moment the carriage was pushed out, two cold arrows were shot at him impartially, one was shot at He Shan's arm; and the other, just before it flew into the carriage, was suddenly hit by some sharp weapon. go out.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and He Shan broke out in a cold sweat. If he didn't slap this palm, the two people in the carriage would most likely die on the spot.

Regardless of the arrow on his arm, He Shan roared: "There are assassins, protect the princess!"

Soon, the guards formed a circle and surrounded Li Lingyue's carriage.

At the same time, more arrows were shot at the carriage from all directions, and the imperial guards fell to the ground one by one. He Shan was shot in the shoulder, abdomen, and thigh continuously, but he blocked the side of the carriage with his broad body like a mountain. , vowed to die.

At this moment, like lightning, a white figure landed on the roof of the car, waving a sharp sword in his hand, helping He Shan resist arrows from all directions.

Li Lingyue in the carriage immediately realized that someone must be following her, and Zhang's appearance aroused the vigilance of the enemy, so instead of doing anything else, she simply killed her first.

Before she had time to think about it, Li Lingyue rushed towards Mrs. Zhang without hesitation, trying to protect the old man with her body.

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and a loving smile bloomed on her face for no reason. She grabbed Li Lingyue's skirt with her old hand, pulled her into his arms, and then hugged Li Lingyue's waist with her backhand. body.

"Let me go!" Li Lingyue was moved by Zhang's actions, and kept struggling with her bulging red eyes.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said nothing. The more Li Lingyue struggled, the tighter she hugged her.

The assassination outside was still going on, and dozens of men in black jumped out from the darkness. These night men all held a bow and crossbow in their hands, and they were approaching the carriage while firing.

At the critical moment, a firework suddenly exploded in the sky, everyone was stunned, and there were more than a dozen people around.

These dozens of people are all women, they are covered with white veils embroidered with peony totems, they hold a foot-long dagger in their hands, and a golden peony is branded on the hilt. After a while, he rushed into the men in black.

Before the man in black could launch a counterattack, these women in Tsing Yi started killing wildly. Their attacks were very fierce, and they almost all blocked their throats with one knife, not giving the other party any chance to breathe.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the men in black were killed, and a dozen women in blue fled away. He Shan looked on the roof of the car, and the figure in white also disappeared.

"Princess, are you okay!" He Shan raised the car window and asked with concern.

Just as Li Lingyue was about to speak, she suddenly felt that her forehead was a little moist. When she raised her head, she saw blood gushing from Mrs. Zhang's mouth, as if she had suffered a serious internal injury.

"Old lady, what's wrong with you!"

Li Lingyue broke free from her embrace, and Zhang's body softened and fell into her arms.

It was only then that Li Lingyue discovered that there was an arrow on the heart and lungs of Zhang's back at some point, and the warm blood flowed out along the top of the arrow shaft like a flood that burst a bank. Soaked in blood.

Due to excessive blood loss, Zhang's face turned blue, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Madam, hold on, we will see the emperor soon, and I will find the best imperial doctor to treat you!"

Li Lingyue shouted loudly in Zhang's ear, then turned her head and urged He Shan outside the car:
"Uncle, drive a carriage!"

He Shan was covered in injuries and had been limping a long time ago, but he straightened his body and took the order, quickly jumped onto the carriage, tightened the reins, and urged the horse to run wildly.

Zhang Shi, who was lying in Li Lingyue's arms, spat out a mouthful of thick blood with a "wow", and Li Lingyue wiped the corner of her mouth with his hands without hesitation.

"Old madam, the royal camp is ahead, if you hold on a little longer, we will be able to meet the emperor!"

With tears in her eyes, Li Lingyue kept cheering Zhang up, hoping to use the emperor to arouse Zhang's will.

Mrs. Zhang smiled, and stretched out her hand with difficulty to caress Li Lingyue's face. Seeing this, Li Lingyue quickly grabbed her hand and pressed it to her face.

Mrs. Zhang moved her lips and said in a weak voice:
"Xiuwen...during his lifetime...didn't say anything, only one word...let me remember: South of Nanshan Temple, under the bodhi tree!"

"If... if you are really a princess... I just ask... I just ask you to avenge my son's grievances and restore his reputation... no longer... no longer being... cast aside by... the world!"

Zhang's voice became weaker and weaker, and at the end, she closed her eyes, as if she was fast asleep.

Li Lingyue hugged Zhang's body and sat in the car. Her hands, face, and sleeves were all covered with blood. At this moment, her eyes had long since lost tears, replaced by murderous intent. The monstrous killing intent.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Lingyue ordered people to pull Zhang Yi's coffin out of Yizhuang, and together with Mrs. Zhang, the two of them were buried together.

Regardless of Li Zhi's obstruction, Li Lingyue went to pay homage to the mother and son in person. After distributing the paper money in her hand, Li Lingyue rushed directly to Nanshan Temple with No. [-] imperial guards.

From Zhang's mouth, Li Lingyue learned of Zhang Yi's last words: "South of Nanshan Temple, under the Bodhi tree".

Before a filial son says goodbye to his mother, he doesn't inquire about her relatives, doesn't say goodbye to life and death, but leaves an insignificant sentence, which shows that there are more important things to explain than the farewell of mother and child!
What will it be?

 Today I went to the pastoral area to dig Cordyceps, and there was no electricity or internet on the mountain. I will try my best to try. If I really can’t update it, I will update it when I go down the mountain on 14th two days later!

  Sorry, everyone!
