Chapter 331 Unusual night

Chapter 331 Unusual night

Hua Bin felt that she was really old. When she recalled the fresh clothes and angry horses and happy grievances when she was young, she didn't feel anything. It was like a legend that happened to others, and it was a stupid legend. You are wasting your time and energy.

After drinking a glass of wine, he sighed, and Hua Bin smiled, "That's all." He said, "It's just that." He said again.

It was already dark outside, and a small number of soldiers in the Yiwei Battalion rested early. Hua Bin poured and drank his own drink, feeling calm, vaguely feeling like an expert who could see through the warmth of human feelings.

But Jincheng is by no means "out of the world".

Someone pushed open the door and entered uninvited. Seeing Hua Bin, he took a few steps forward, plopped down on his knees, and shouted excitedly, "Father."

Hua Bin shook her head gently. After all, she was not an expert in the world, and she was inextricably linked with the world. The young man in front of her was the most important one.

"You shouldn't have come."

"Father died, and the heroes of the world rallied to save me, how can I stay out of it?" Huahu Wang became more excited and looked up carefully. "I didn't tell my father before, because I didn't want to worry my father. We can leave Jincheng tonight, it doesn't matter anymore."

Hua Bin wanted to remind her son that there has never been a so-called "heroes in the world". Jianghu is a collective term that includes all kinds of people. Heroes have different ideas and can never "group" to do one thing, but when I think of myself dozens of times I've been making the same mistakes over the years, so I don't want to talk too much.

"How are things going?"

"It's all good, enter the palace at the second watch, and if everything goes well, you can come out in a quarter of an hour, and leave the city on time at the third watch, and there will be someone ten miles away from the city.

Hua Bin nodded.

"Is that woman credible?" King Huahu couldn't help but ask.

"She is a descendant of Chen Qi, and she has the righteous island to protect her. It has been confirmed that she poisoned the emperor with her own hands..." That said, Hua Bin didn't believe Meng E. After seeing her son Huahuwang, he It is right to be more cautious, "Tonight's plan will be postponed."

"But..." King Huahu was surprised.

"Just a little delay, three quarters of an hour."

"People who can be welcomed outside the city..."

"It's okay to let them wait for a while." Hua Bin always had a plan in his mind, even if his son didn't show up, he would implement it, "Let others find the way for us first, and by the way, also check whether Meng E is credible. If there is If an accident happens, you should leave immediately and never come back to find me."

"Father……"

Hua Bin's expression became stern, "We, father and son, cannot be trapped here at the same time. Immediately after leaving the city, let the Huns come to attack the city, and there is still time to save my life. If you hesitate for a while, we will not survive tomorrow morning."

"Yes." King Huahu had to agree.

"Go. The King of the East Sea also lives in the palace, and the guards are not strict. If you can't assassinate the emperor, you can send someone to kill the King of the East Sea, or give the Huns a little explanation. They may not know the battle between the two brothers. I heard that it was The emperor's younger brother, should be very happy."

"Yes." King Huahu used to be friends with King Donghai, but he didn't argue for him at this time. He got up and exited the room, hurried out of Yiwei Camp, and joined several companions on the street. They lived nearby and could observe Go to Daiwangfu and Yiwei Camp.

There was no ambush around, and it seemed that the emperor had no idea what was going to happen tonight.

Han Ruzi really didn't know much, because Meng E couldn't ask about the whole plan. She only knew one thing: someone would come to take the emperor's head tonight, and then escape from Jincheng overnight with the head and Hua Bin. .

Han Ruzi was a little puzzled by this plan, "Since the Jianghu people who rescued Hua Bin wanted to poison me, why did they take my head again?"

"Poisoning was their original plan. The original intention was to create chaos and take the opportunity to rescue Hua Bin. Unexpectedly, the Huns surrounded Jincheng, and they colluded with the Huns. They had to take your majesty's head out of the city to get the Huns. Accept."

"Hey, don't the Huns want to use me to lure reinforcements from all over?"

"I don't know. I suspect that there are differences among the Huns. Some people want to besiege and not attack, and some people want to fight quickly."

Meng E's guess made some sense. The East and West Huns were only merged into one last year, and it was normal for internal disputes. Han Ruzi hoped that the envoy Qiao Wanfu, who had already left the city, could find the right target for negotiation.

As the night got darker, Meng E said, "It's time for me to meet the assassin, Your Majesty be careful."

Han Ruzi hummed, and Meng E turned around and went out of the house.

Meng E once proposed to Hua Bin that she would "assassinate" the emperor, but Hua Bin did not agree, she had to send an assassin herself, Meng E only needed to introduce the assassin into the emperor's bedroom. at the joint location.

It is difficult to gain the trust of Hua Bin, and it is even more difficult to attract those Jianghu people who are hiding in the city.

Han Ruzi was sitting by the window, thinking not about the upcoming assassin, but about Da Chanyu who didn't know where he was.

The door opened, and the head of the guard, Wang He, walked in quietly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. For the sake of safety, is Your Majesty..."

"I want to stay here."

Wang He had no choice but to say, "I'll stay by Your Majesty's side, and people outside will act when I send a signal."

"Yeah." Han Ruzi really needed a guard by his side.

There was no light in the room, and the two sat and stood in the dark. After a while, Han Ruzi asked curiously, "What do the guards use to signal?"

"Specially made porcelain whistle." Wang He replied immediately.

"I had a porcelain whistle when I was young." Han Ruzi smiled.

Wang He was surprised by the emperor's calmness, "Our whistle is special and can make different sounds. Only the guards can hear the difference in the bird calls we chose tonight."

"Not bad." Han Ruzi pointed at the window paper, "How should I monitor the situation on the other side?"

Wang He stepped forward, "Your Majesty give in a little."

Han Ruzi stood up and stepped aside, Wang He took out a dagger, held it with both hands, made a light circle on the window paper, dug a small round hole, immediately put away the dagger, and took a few steps back, "Your Majesty, please back."

Han Ruzi sat on the stool again, close to the window, one eye just aimed at the small hole in the window paper, and he could see the bedroom diagonally opposite. His bedroom was also where the assassin was going.

"How do you monitor?" Han Ruzi asked.

"I'm standing at the door."

"Do your own thing, you don't have to stay by my side all the time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang He retreated to the door, one eye peeped out, the other eye still glanced at the emperor from time to time, in the night, the emperor's figure was only blurred, like a large giant placed by the window. vase.

For Wang He, capturing assassins was secondary, and the most important duty was to protect the emperor's safety.

The emperor trusted the female bodyguard too much, which made Wang He deeply disturbed.

Time passed, and neither of them spoke. They quietly observed the other side. There was no one in the courtyard. Occasionally, patrolling guards passed by, and they also entered and exited very quickly without stopping.

Nearly the second watch, Liu Jie, the supervisor of the Central Division, walked out of the room and took an eunuch with a lantern to check around. He was a conscientious person, and he felt uneasy when he didn't take a look anywhere.

He almost sabotaged the emperor's plans.

Han Ruzi secretly left the bedroom before dark and hid in an uninhabited room in the east wing. Zhang Youcai knew about it, but Liu Jie didn't know that he was paid to get things at the time, and he handed it over to Zhang Youcai after returning.

Han Ruzi didn't know that the Central Supervisory Committee was so responsible. Liu Jie had to check every room. Those who lived in had to be bolted from the inside.

The two eunuchs got closer and closer, Wang He didn't know what to do, Han Ruzi didn't want to scare Liu Jie, stood up, walked to the door a few steps, stood against the wall, and Wang He stood on the other side.

Liu Jie pushed open the door, and another eunuch put a lantern in, lighting up half the room.

Liu Jie stood at the door and looked, closed the door, and continued to check other rooms.

Wang He breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's choice was actually very simple, and the process of avoiding Liu Jie was also without danger, but because he was the emperor, things were very different, and Wang He felt that the emperor was unusual.

Han Ruzi sat back on the stool and continued to watch through the window.

Liu Jie's room was right next to the emperor's bedroom. After checking around, he went back to his room and fell asleep. This night was quite normal for him.

Han Ruzi has been sleeping these days, but he is not sleepy, just bored. Fortunately, the assassin finally showed up without waiting too long.

What surprised Han Ruzi was that the assassin was not introduced by Meng E from outside, but walked out of a room in the west wing, stood under the porch and watched for a while, then walked silently to the emperor's bedroom. .

Although the moonlight was weak, Han Ruzi could still recognize that it was Zhang Qinyan.

According to Meng E's understanding, Zhang's father and daughter and Hua Bin are not in the same group. Staying by the emperor's side has another purpose, and it is a long-term purpose.

However, Zhang Qinyan suddenly appeared this night. Was she trying to seduce the emperor, or was she persuaded by Hua Bin to assassinate the emperor?

Han Ruzi didn't know the answer, and it was estimated that Meng E didn't know either. She was waiting for another assassin outside the mansion and had no idea what was going on in the mansion.

Wang He didn't want so much, anyone was suspicious in his eyes, so he put the porcelain whistle to his mouth, as long as Qin Nu pushed the door in, he would blow the whistle and take the assassin with all the stolen goods.

"Wait." Han Ruzi said very quietly.

"Huh?" Wang He exhaled the breath he was holding back.

"This is a test, the real assassin hasn't arrived yet." Han Ruzi affirmed.

Wang He was slightly taken aback, "As soon as she enters, she will find that His Majesty is not there..."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, and said, "There is a person on the bed, she may not be able to tell the truth."

Wang He was stunned again. It turned out that the emperor's preparations were more complete than he imagined.

Wang He doesn't care, Han Ruzi cares a little bit, but he has to take the risk. Tonight, he will not only arrest the assassin, but also send Deng Cui out of the city. These two things are closely related.

Zhang Qinyan, who was diagonally opposite, stopped in front of the emperor's bedroom door. Han Ruzi couldn't see what she was doing, but the experienced Wang He could roughly guess it, and also said in a very low voice: "She's spraying drugs into the room, she How can there be such a thing?"

Han Ruzi can guess who she got it from. Hua Bin is an old fox who uses Zhang Qinyan to test the trap.

Han Ruzi sneered silently. He didn't see Hua Bin as an opponent at all. If it wasn't for sending Deng Cui away, he wouldn't even bother to set up an ambush.

Zhang Qinyan slid into the emperor's bedroom, Wang He stared at him without blinking, but Han Ruzi had turned his gaze, thinking about Da Shanyu.
