Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 50 Qingbai bravely saves his father
Although he was a little drunk that night, Yuan Qingbai got up early the next day.

Lingxue got up earlier than him, and Youshi and Qin Keqing also got up.

"Third Master, I will help you wash up." Qin Keqing spoke first.

You glanced at Qin Keqing, hey, this little girl is quite good at fighting for favor.

Qin Keqing spoke first, but it was inconvenient for You to speak, otherwise he would appear to be competing for favor.

Yuan Qingbai found it interesting and did not refuse. Qin Keqing helped him wash up.

After washing up, Yuan Qingbai went to Dan to settle down to pay his respects to Emperor Jing'an, and asked how the old man slept last night and whether he felt dizzy when he woke up this morning...

At this moment, Tao Quan, the eunuch at the imperial court, walked up to Emperor Jing'an in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, something happened!"

Emperor Jing'an was calm. He had experienced a lot of "accidents" in his life. Three years ago, he even experienced the prince's parricide.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Jing'an asked calmly.

Tao Quan glanced at Yuan Qingbai and then said to Emperor Jing'an: "I just received a secret report that a group of assassins are going to take advantage of the third prince's return to Beijing this morning and murder him halfway, and the third prince is already on his way back to Beijing."

Emperor Jing'an: "..."

Yuan Qingbai: "..."

Tao Quan's words made both the grandfather and grandson's eyes widen.

Emperor Jing'an wondered if he had heard wrongly: "Is this happening?"

Dangchun Garden and Yuanzhao Garden are not far from Shenjing City. Whenever Emperor Jing'an stationed in Dangchun Garden, Dangchun Garden would be strictly guarded. What's more, there were military camps in the western suburbs of Shenjing.

Now Tao Quan actually told him that the old emperor had a group of assassins who wanted to murder the third prince on the road between Yuanzhao Garden and Shenjing City?

Tao Quan said hurriedly: "The secret report we just got is probably correct."

Yuan Qingbai was so anxious that he knelt down and said, "Please ask the emperor's grandfather to send some bodyguards, led by his grandson, to rescue my father."

Although Emperor Jing'an was anxious, he was still rational: "I can just ask the guards to rescue him. Why should you take the risk?"

The third prince, the successor he had chosen in his heart, was now in danger, and he did not want the emperor he had chosen to be the next generation to be in danger as well.

Yuan Qingbai hurriedly said: "Grandfather, that is my grandson's father. His filial piety is greater than heaven. Please fulfill your filial piety. If it was your grandson who suffered this disaster today, my grandson would save his life even if he risked his life."

Emperor Jing'an couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and sighed in his heart, what a good and filial grandson!

The matter was urgent, and Emperor Jing'an could not hesitate. He immediately ordered the first-class imperial guard Di Feng to lead a group of guards and officers and soldiers of the pro-military camp, follow Yuan Qingbai, and rush to the rescue.

Later, a large group of guards and pro-military camp officers and soldiers will follow.

drive! drive! drive!
Yuan Qingbai took Di Feng and more than 20 guards and officers and soldiers from the pro-military camp, all galloping on their horses.

Running wildly on the road between Yuanzhao Garden and Shenjing City, running wildly on the road to rescue the third prince.

……

……

kill!kill!kill!

At this time, a scene of chaos and fighting appeared before the eyes of the third prince.

It's not like he has never experienced assassination in his life. When he took over the task of checking the deficit three years ago, he was mentally prepared to encounter assassination at any time. During the three years, he did encounter assassination, but fortunately he resolved it.

But he didn't expect that when he was about to return to Beijing to attend to official duties this morning, hundreds of assassins would suddenly come out on the road, holding weapons to assassinate him.

This is a bit outrageous!
This is the road between Dangchunyuan and Shenjing City!
However, the third prince thought about it and surmised that this matter should be arranged by a big shot, and only a big shot could plant so many assassins on this road in advance without anyone noticing.

Today, the third prince was accompanied by only more than thirty personal guards. Although some of them were extremely skilled, it was difficult to stop hundreds of well-trained assassins.

More than thirty bodyguards and hundreds of assassins were killed.

"Your Majesty, get on your horse and get out of here!"

The first-class guard Tang Yue held a big sword in his hand and took two other guards with him. He wanted the third prince to get on his horse and flee the scene first, but the assassins persisted in pestering them.

It actually made the third prince feel nervous, thinking that he might be murdered today.

At this moment, the third prince heard the rapid sound of horse hooves and suddenly looked back. He was overjoyed and saw his son Qing Bai riding a horse, leading more than 20 guards and soldiers from the military camp.

"Father, don't worry, my son is here!"

Yuan Qingbai saw the third prince, shouted and rode his horse directly to the third prince's vicinity.

kill!

Yuan Qingbai held a long-handled sword in his hand and slashed at an assassin with fierce force.

The assassin blocked him with a knife, but Yuan Qingbai's knife was so powerful that it not only cut off his knife, but also slashed it diagonally into his neck. The neck was severed and blood splattered. The assassin fell to the ground in severe pain.

Yuan Qingbai turned over and dismounted, holding a long-handled sword in his hand. He killed two assassins one after another, and then came to the third prince: "Father, get on the horse quickly!"

The third prince nodded, and was escorted by Yuan Qingbai and Tang Yue, and got on the horse that Yuan Qingbai rode.

Yuan Qingbai asked Tang Yue to get on another horse to protect the third prince and leave first.

The third prince hesitated for a moment, then rode away with Tang Yue. Although he was worried about the safety of his son Qing Bai, he also knew that he should leave at this time and it would be unreasonable to stay at the scene.

After the third prince rode his horse and ran some distance away, he couldn't help but look back and saw his son Qing Bai fighting among the crowd with a long-handled sword in his hand. He saw assassins one after another being killed by his son Qing Bai...

"As expected of my son Qingbai, he is truly extraordinary in martial arts and brave!"

The third prince sighed in his heart and continued to gallop towards Dangchun Garden.

Soon, a large group of guards and pro-military camp officers and soldiers appeared in front. There were hundreds of them, all riding horses.

The third prince was overjoyed and immediately stopped running. He personally led the hundreds of guards and officers and soldiers of the pro-military camp back to the battlefield.

When he returned to the battlefield, he found that many of the hundreds of assassins were dead. The corpses of assassins were everywhere on the scene. The few remaining assassins were fleeing, and his son Qingbai was already covered in blood.

The third prince felt nervous and hurriedly came to Yuan Qingbai and asked with concern: "Qingbai, are you injured? Why is there so much blood on your body?"

Yuan Qingbai reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a slight smile on his solemn face: "Father, don't worry, my son is fine. All the blood on his body was spattered by the assassin."

The third prince felt relieved and felt that his son Qingbai's smile at this moment was very cute.

Seeing that his son Qingbai was holding a long-handled sword and wanted to chase the assassin, the third prince hurriedly stopped him. The overall situation was decided and Qingbai could no longer be allowed to take risks.
