Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Yuan Hao

When Di Qing returned to the inn, he looked like he had nothing to do with him.Everyone saw that the culprit had left, and the soldiers who rushed over only conducted routine interrogation before letting a group of diners go. Everyone thought that Di Qing had left, but no one knew that Di Qing was by their side. Di Qing killed Xia Sui, and the news has spread in Xingqing Mansion.Some people were excited, some were panicked, some were gnashing their teeth and wanted to ask Di Qing to have a dispute, and some were afraid that Di Qing would come to settle accounts. Of course Xia Sui was not the only one who betrayed Song Dynasty.No one knows if Di Qing killed Xia Hou, will he do it again?

Because of Di Qing's name, Xingqing Mansion has become turbulent, but the person involved, Di Qing, is still a little confused.Although he is not the murderer, he already knows who the murderer is. The murderer was not Di Qing, but Fei Ying! Feiying really has the capital of arrogance, just because he killed the five Xia Sui with lightning speed, Di Qing knew that three stone mounds tied together were not a match for Feiying. But such a person came out of nowhere, subdued Shi Tuo, knew him Di Qing, and was determined to avenge Guo Zun. Who is he?Di Qing couldn't figure it out even if he tried his best.

But what made Di Qing even more troublesome was that since Fei Ying wanted to join forces with him to assassinate Yuan Hao, why did he kill Xia Sui with great fanfare?In this way, wouldn't the Xingqing Mansion be heavily guarded, and it would be even more difficult for him to enter the palace to assassinate Yuan Hao! What puzzled Di Qing the most was that a skill like Feiying was more qualified than an assassin. Since he was righteously avenging Guo Zun, why didn't he personally assassinate Yuan Hao?I also remembered what Feixue said, "An enemy's enemy may not be your friend!" Di Qing only felt that things were not as simple as imagined.

When Di Qing returned to the inn, he saw that all the passengers were talking about the murder in the Taibai Restaurant, and his words were drooling, as if he had seen it himself.Di Qing was too lazy to listen, and when he returned to his room, he saw that the next room had changed, and knew that Feixue had left, so he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. That snow-like woman is really like Feixue, fluttering and flickering, making it difficult to understand the intention behind the ice cold. Di Qing slept in the inn all day and didn't go out. On the second night, when Di Qing left the guest room, he waited to find something to eat, when he heard the commotion in the courtyard, and a waiter said: "Master, this way please."

When Di Qing heard the sound of footsteps walking towards his residence, his heart shivered slightly. The sound of footsteps stopped in front of Di Qing's room, and the clerk flattered him: "My lord, the guest officer you are looking for is in this room." Then someone knocked on the door and said: "Is Huo Shisan here? " The voice was peaceful, without any hostility.When Di Qing arrived in Xingqing Mansion, of course he would not write other people's names on the wall with blood stains like Feiying, but he did not write his own name when he stayed in the inn, and the name he registered was Huo Shisan.

Di Qing opened the door, and saw a person standing in front of the door, as long as a door frame, square and square, as if he had been embedded there with the door panel when the inn was just built. Seeing Di Qing open the door, the man suddenly asked, "Yesterday, a dog died in Old Wang's house." Seeing that the two seemed to know each other, the man retreated wisely.The man has been in Xingqing mansion for a long time, so of course he knows that this official is from the sixth class in Yuwei Nei. These people always only reward slaps, not money. But when he retired, the buddy was still very strange. What a big deal that the old Wang family dog ​​died. Need someone from the inner government to notify Huo Shisan?

Di Qing asked: "Old Wang's dog is dead, what does it matter to me?" The officer said, "It's none of your business, so whose business is it?" Di Qing said: "Perhaps you should ask the old Zhang family's bitch." If the shop assistant heard the conversation between the two, he might go crazy.The officer wasn't crazy, he reached into his bosom and took out half of a copper coin and handed it over. Di Qing took out the other half and checked, the copper coin was made into a complete one, just because it was originally a copper coin. Relieved in the officer's eyes, he whispered: "Follow me." He turned and left, Di Qing frowned, and finally followed.The conversation between the two just now was not nonsense, it was a signal that Feiying and Di Qing wanted to contact, and the half copper coin was also the proof of their contact.

Di Qing thought that thousands of people would come to him, but he never dreamed that the person looking for him turned out to be No. 6 Banzhi in Yuwei Nei. What kind of tricks does Feiying have, to be able to move these people?Or, this was a trap, and Feiying wanted to use these people to get rid of Di Qing? There was no turning back for Di Qing, he followed the officer out of the inn.There were already two horses outside the inn. Di Qing and the officer got on the horses and ran south of the city.When the two arrived outside the city, the officer did not speak, and Di Qing also remained silent.The two walked more and more sideways, and gradually reached a high hill.There are thorns everywhere, and thousands of trees are in autumn.

Autumn outside the Great Wall always comes earlier than in Jiangnan. Di Qing was on guard secretly, wondering why the man brought him here, could it be that Feiying was waiting for him here?The officer went to the high post and went to the dense forest.It was only then that Di Qing realized that there was indeed someone waiting, but that person was by no means Feiying. The man had a bearded face, a dull expression, and there was a sadness in his eyes that was worse than that of late autumn. When he saw Di Qing coming, his whole body trembled violently. There was a hole beside him, and it was not a problem to bury someone.Di Qing didn't understand why this person was scared when he saw him, why did the officer bring him to meet this person?

The officer said: "His name is Shang Luo Duoduo, he is a member of the Sixth Squad in the Imperial Enclosure. The Sixth Squad in the Imperial Enclosure is divided into three squads of guards, responsible for the safety of the palace. Shang Luo Duoduo is from the Tiger Division, and he is currently a casual guard." For the position of the head of the capital, you get two shimi and five taels of silver every month." Di Qing almost wanted to ask, what does this have to do with me?It can be seen that Shang Luo Duoduo's eyes are ashen, but he can't ask. The officer said again: "The third squad is divided into three groups: tiger, leopard, and bear. The foreman of the tiger group is Maonu Langsheng, who is Shang Luo Duoduo's immediate boss."

Di Qing frowned, but he still couldn't resist asking.The officer admired Di Qing's silence, and said to Shang Luo, "What else do you have to say?" Shang Luo Duoduo actually took off his clothes, folded them and handed them to Di Qing, saying, "This is my clothes." Then he took off his boots and handed them to Di Qing, "These are my shoes, you should wear them properly." Di Qing took the clothes and shoes, full of confusion. Shang Luo Duoduo took off his saber again and handed it over: "This is my knife. When I walk, my left shoulder is low and my right shoulder is high. I like to eat steamed mutton the most. I don't drink alcohol. I usually keep quiet and my relatives are dead. I don't have a woman. , have a stingy personality, spend money and save money, and talk less." A sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Actually, I wrote all these down, you can read this letter." He handed a letter to Di Qing. Di Qing was on guard, and took the letter slowly, but didn't open it, and he didn't understand why Shang Luo Duoduo said these things. Shang Luo Duoduo looked at the white clouds in the distance, and suddenly said, "It's autumn, it's cold." He turned his wrist, revealed a shiny short knife, and swung it hard. Di Qing's eyes flashed with astonishment, but he didn't dodge, because the dagger didn't stab him. After a "chi", the dagger pierced his chest, Shang Luo Duoduo stabbed himself in the chest! Di Qing was very shocked, but the officer was still calm, as if everything was expected, and said to Shang Luo Duoduo: "You can go at ease." Shang Luo Duoduo fell down softly, fell into the hole he dug, twitched, and there was no more movement.But a pair of eyes are still open, staring at the blue sky. The cool wind blows, chilling the yellow and green of autumn. Di Qing felt cold all over, turned his head to look at the officer, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why?" Sadness also flashed in the officer's eyes, and he said, "Because he is very similar to you..." Di Qing didn't know where his monk Luo Duoduo looked like. When he saw the clothes, saber and shoes, and looked at the hole, he finally understood, "You want me to pretend to be him?" The officer nodded and said word by word: "That's right, from today onwards, you are Shang Luo Duoduo!" Autumn is as cool as water, Di Qing has been in the palace as a guard for more than a month, and no one has seen Di Qing's flaws. Shang Luo Duoduo didn't talk much at all, his body was similar to Di Qing's, the only difference was that Shang Luo Duoduo had a bearded face, but Di Qing had a handsome face.But this is not a problem, the officer who led Di Qing into the palace shaved off Shang Luo Duoduo's beard, and smeared it on Di Qing's face one by one. Di Qing transformed into the taciturn Shang Luo Duoduo. This was a well-planned operation, and every step was carefully arranged.In order for Di Qing to sneak into the palace and assassinate Yuan Hao, Feiying actually made Shang Luo Duoduo willing to die, and also made the palace guards take Di Qing into the palace at the risk of beheading? What is the origin of this flying eagle?How can there be such a skill? Di Qing has never seen Yuan Hao. This is Xingqing Mansion, this is Yuan Hao's palace, but Yuan Hao seems to seldom come here. Di Qing was not in a hurry, he knew that Yuan Hao would proclaim himself emperor at the altar in the southern suburbs of Xingqing Mansion in October. On that day, Yuan Hao would always discuss matters with his ministers in the Hall of Heavenly Harmony. At that time, it should be him When to start. Since Feiying sent Di Qing to the palace, he hasn't made any further moves. Did he also wait for that day to carry out the assassination? Di Qing has been in the palace for more than a month, and he already knows that the officer who brought him into the palace is called Lang Bu, who was originally the first captain of the leopard team.Mao Nulang of the Tiger Team is cruel by nature and enjoys torturing people.Fortunately, Mao Nulangsheng doesn't seem to have any interest in Di Qing, and the palace has been calm for the past month or so. But the outside of the palace is not peaceful, it should be said that the outside of Xingqing Mansion is not peaceful.After Feiying killed Xia, he left Xingqing Mansion and headed west, setting off countless storms along the way.Of course, these things are all on Di Qing's head. Di Qing still didn't quite understand what Feiying meant, but he could bear it, waiting for Yuan Hao's fatal blow. As long as Yuan Hao can be killed, Di Qing can wait to die, let alone wait a few days. On this day, Di Qing tidied up her attire and prepared to enter the palace for duty. Walking alone on the Qingshi Street, at this time the autumn is cool and the clouds are dark, he suddenly misses the scenery of Sai Xia, and even thinks, brother Sai Xia, how is it now? Since the first battle at Sanchuankou, Yuan Hao has used the prestige of defeating him to actively prepare for becoming emperor. I don't know how Song Ting reacted? While meditating, Di Qing was already approaching the gate of the palace. A soldier inspected his badge and let Di Qing enter the palace.Before Yuan Hao proclaimed himself emperor, even though he carried forward the study of Buddhism, established five armies, and created eight ministries, the etiquette in the palace was similar to that of the Song Dynasty. The task Di Qing received today is to inspect the vicinity of Danfeng Pavilion.There are three other people on Di Qing's team, named Shang Qi, Yan Jia and Chang Li.Shang Qi is the captain of the four. The six squads in the imperial circle were divided into three groups: tigers, leopards, and bears. Each group was further divided into twenty-four teams, and each team consisted of four or eight people. They inspected important places in the palace respectively. Danfeng Pavilion was originally the place where Princess Shan Shan lived. After Di Qing heard the news, he couldn't help sighing. He knew that Princess Shan Shan was definitely not in the Danfeng Pavilion, so it was just a routine to be on duty at the Danfeng Pavilion. Di Qing had been in the palace for more than a month, but it was his turn to visit the Hall of Renhe, which was originally a place for the officials to discuss matters, and Yuan Hao would go there sometimes.Although the etiquette in Yuanhao Palace is similar to that of Bianjing, the strict security is far better than that of Bianjing.Di Qing had seen with his own eyes that a soldier was beheaded outside the palace gate because he was late for leaving the palace. The rotation of guards in the palace is strict, and there will be no chaos at all if the solar terms run.If Di Qing hadn't adopted the method of becoming Shang Luo Duoduo, he would never have been able to get in the palace, let alone assassinate Yuan Hao. From the classroom to the Danfeng Pavilion, you have to pass through the Hall of Renhe.When Di Qing passed the Hall of Renhe, he saw a group of ministers discussing something in a low voice. Among them was a man who looked like a scholar standing in front of the hall, looking up at the sky with an elegant expression.Di Qing felt that the scholar had some knowledge, and he didn't dare to read more because he was afraid of revealing his flaws.Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he squinted and his heart skipped a beat. The man behind him with white beard and hair and a majestic expression was actually Xia Shouyun! Di Qing restrained his impulse, kept walking, and parted ways with Xia Shouyun.Di Qing only saw Xia Shouyun hurried to the front of the hall, bowed to the scholar in front of the hall, and said, "Master Zhongshu Ling, please forgive me for being late." Di Qing's heart trembled slightly, and he thought to himself that the scholar was Zhongshuling Zhang Yuan. He knew that Song Dynasty's Zhongshu Ling was only for glory and did not hold real power. For example, the Eighth Prince was Song Ting's Zhongshu Ling, but he had no rights.Yuan Hao established an official system, not focusing on vanity, but Zhong Shuling under him is an extremely important person.Although Yuan Hao is used by both Han and Han, the military power is controlled by party members. Zhang Yuan is a Han, but he can hold a high position and authority. It cannot but be said to be an anomaly. It was inconvenient for Di Qing to look at it, so he followed Shangqi far away, and Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "It's never too late for a good meal. In the battle at Sanchuankou, we relied on Master Xia's ingenious plan. The soldiers will return, and now we still need to rely on Master Xia to make suggestions. gone." Xia Shouyun smiled apologetically, "Definitely, definitely." When Di Qing heard the words "Wu Zu will return", his heart moved slightly, knowing that once Yuan Hao returned, it was time for him to act. Everyone went to Danfeng Pavilion through the rockery, and the road was full of gold and jade.Although the luxury here is not as good as Bianjing Grand Palace, the palace is magnificent, but it is more imposing than Yuan Hao's ambition. Di Qing knew that although the journey was uneventful, if he went to the wrong place, he might be struck by a sword in no time.The four of them were silent, but Di Qing paid attention to the surrounding building terrain. He had been in the palace for more than a month, and the only thing he could do was to write down the terrain and the directions of the guards where he passed. After passing through the garden again, and seeing the eaves of the attic in the distance covered by the flowers and trees, Di Qing knew that he had arrived at Danfeng Pavilion. When the four of them arrived in front of the pavilion, Shang Qi exchanged tokens with the soldiers guarding here, and ordered the three of them to stand around the pavilion.Everyone stood there like a stake, silent. At sunset and dusk, everything was safe and sound, Shangqi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that the hour was approaching, and everyone could leave the palace just waiting for the shift changer to arrive.Unexpectedly, at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and four women walked over in a small sedan chair. Shangqi stepped forward and shouted, "Who is here?" The sedan chair stopped, and a voice came from inside the sedan chair: "You don't even know me?" The voice was like flowing water and a breeze, and like a spring and ice beach, it was elegant and full of arrogance. Hearing that voice, Shang Qi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "The humble official didn't know the boss came, please forgive me. But please show the token, the humble official dare not break the rules." When Di Qing heard the voice in the sedan chair, his heart was shocked, and he secretly called out, "Have I heard this voice before? How could it be so familiar? Could it be... do I recognize this woman?" No matter how much he searched his memory, he still didn't think of who this woman was. Blizzard?Unlike, Feixue definitely does not have such a soft tone.Princess alone?No, it's just that there is no Jiao Cui in that voice.But if it wasn't the two of them, who would it be?department head?Could it be said that this person is a member of Yuan Hao's Eight Departments? The woman said softly: "You are right." The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and one hand was stretched out, holding a token in it.Di Qing couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but only saw the golden light on the token, which seemed to have a picture of a fairy flying into the sky. When Shang Qi saw the badge, he said: "I don't know that the head of the department is here, what's the matter?" The woman said: "Because Wuzu has something to do with me, I'm coming back now, I just want to drop by and see... Has the princess come back?" Shang Qi shook his head and said, "The princess hasn't come back yet." The woman sighed quietly: "I don't know where she went, it's really worrying. Get up the sedan chair." The four maids lifted the sedan chair and went outside the palace. Di Qing watched the sedan chair go away, wishing he could lift the curtain of the sedan chair to take a look, but he also knew it was impossible.The sedan chair disappeared, and the changing leopard team had already arrived, Di Qing left the palace, feeling even more puzzled. The Sixth Squad in Yuwei has a barracks outside the palace where they can rest, but most of the imperial guards in the palace are the children of nobles. They are usually arrogant and have good martial arts skills. Palace, less control, will not return to the barracks to rest until late at night. Di Qing also didn't want to go back to the camp this early, as night fell, he wandered the streets, still thinking about who the woman in the sedan chair was. He didn't know many women, how could one of them be a member of the Eight Parts? When Di Qing was thinking about it, he heard the sound of pipa coming from a wine shop on the side of the road, and an old man sang hoarsely: "Finger's life is a hundred years old, and prosperity and exhaustion follow. Go Jinfei. Beauty turns into white hair, what is the best?" Di Qing didn't know who wrote this word, and when he heard "A beautiful woman turns white hair, what's the best?", he felt a sense of desolation in his heart.He served in the army for more than ten years, and the sun and the moon flew like a shuttle, but many brothers died, and the loved ones could not be together, and Guo Zun also left. He is not old, but his heart has changed. The sound of the pipa gradually turned desolate, Di Qing suddenly felt shocked, and stood there dumbfounded, he finally thought of who was in the sedan chair! It was her, it should be her, if it wasn't for her, who would have that coquettish tone? But how could it be her?Di Qing couldn't believe it, and told herself in her heart that there are so many people with similar voices in this world, it couldn't be hers... Di Qing was confused. The sound of the pipa was exhausted, the moonlight was sad, Di Qing stood on the long street for a long time, then smiled bitterly, walked through the streets and alleys, and walked towards the barracks.His smile was full of helplessness, and he had already reached the entrance of the alley. He just got out of the alley, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.Although his mind was flustered, his vigilance was not lost, and he suddenly felt that he had stepped into a dead place. Murder everywhere. Someone is going to kill him, who is going to kill him?Are they going to kill Di Qing, or Shang Luo Duoduo?Di Qing didn't know, but only heard the sound of brushing, and several people appeared on both sides of the high wall, holding a chain crossbow, and with a pull of the trigger, the alley was full of crossbow arrows, blocking all the way of life. Even if Di Qing was a bird, there would be no way out at that moment!If Di Qing is in the alley, he will surely die! But Di Qing had been alert for a long time, and the moment those people showed up, they had already reached the high wall.When he walked, one shoulder was high and the other was low, like a drunkard, but when he ran up a high wall, he was like a tiger with wings. Those people pulled the trigger, but Di Qing had already reached the side of those people, and slammed into them with force, only to hear a few people groaning and falling, and the crossbow in his hand shot out obliquely, and shot the person on the high wall opposite to death.And when they fell into the alley, they had already been sieved by the crossbow arrows shot from the opposite side of the high wall. The killers on both sides did not expect that before Di Qing made a move, they would kill each other and die. Di Qing was dripping with cold sweat, and had no time to check if the killer was alive, because he had to deal with an imminent crisis. A knife pierced the night sky, like a shooting star, it had already slashed towards him. The knife was extremely fast and fierce, as if it had existed since ancient times, just waiting for Di Qing to hit the wall and then take his life. Di Qing had no time to draw his sword, so he could only retreat, but he was on the high wall, and when he retreated into nothing, he had already fallen towards the wall.The moon-like light of the knife soared all over the sky, almost slashing at Di Qing's neck. Di Qing had no choice but to block it with his hand, holding a snatched crossbow to block it. With the sound of "嗤", the crossbow string snapped, but the long knife finally paused for a moment, and Di Qing fell suddenly and retreated to the side of the wall. The man on the high wall slashed twice in a row, only to cut off the crossbow string, and then waited for someone to take advantage of the high position to slash again, but his figure suddenly froze, and then fell from the high wall. There was a sound of "clang", the long knife fell to the ground, the man fell to the ground, twitched, and there was no more movement. But there were more crossbow arrows on his neck, which obliquely entered from his throat, and almost all of them disappeared. Before Di Qing landed, he pulled out a crossbow arrow that had been shot at the wall, and threw it like a dart, killing the man. When Di Qing landed, his back was slightly arched, his ears were pricked up to listen to the movement, and he was ready for the next round of attacks.This group of people definitely did not want to kill Shang Luo Duoduo, Shang Luo Duoduo was not worthy, so they will kill Di Qing? How did they know that Di Qing was Shang Luo Duoduo? Di Qing's heart sank, and he turned around slowly, looking at the other side of the alley.At some point, a sedan chair fell down without a sound. There was a person standing beside the sedan chair, the bright moonlight only shone on the wall of the alley, casting a dark shadow on that person's boxy body. Di Qing's pupils narrowed slightly, and he shouted: "Lang Bui?" With his sharp eyesight, he recognized that the person was Lang Bui! Why did Lang Zai bring him into the palace and kill him again?Now that the assassination failed, why didn't Lang Bu leave? Could it be that he still has the cards in his hand? Di Qing walked over step by step, staring at Lang Bu's actions, and paying more attention to the sedan chair beside him. Seeing Di Qing approaching, Lang Jian said suddenly: "I arranged for these people to kill you." Di Qing was a little stunned when he saw that Lang Bu confessed, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" "Because I asked him to do it." A voice came from the sedan chair, full of majesty and solemnity. As soon as Di Qing heard the man speak, he knew that he had never seen him before.And the person in the sedan chair should be the person who holds the most power.Because only that kind of person can speak in a high tone forever. Di Qing remained silent, waiting for the other party's reply.After a long time, the person in the sedan chair finally said: "You and I have a common goal, which is to kill Yuan Hao. I originally hoped that Feiying would do it himself, but he suggested that you come, so I am not at ease." Di Qing asked back, "Why didn't Feiying take action himself?" The man in the sedan chair said, "Because he still has more things to do." Di Qing sneered: "You are worried, so you have to try me. Have you ever thought that if I can't escape their schemes?" The man in the sedan chair sneered and said, "If you can't escape those plots, you might as well die immediately. There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who are useful and those who are useless. Those who are useless should die earlier, so as not to hurt others." Di Qing fell silent, knowing what the person in the sedan chair meant.This assassination has been carefully planned, and it is inevitable. If it is not successful, it is unknown how many people will die.It is said that Yuan Hao is cruel and easy to kill. If he does not die, Di Qing must not be the only one who dies. Although the other party plotted against him, Di Qing felt a little relieved, thinking that if these people hadn't deliberately dealt with Yuan Hao, they really wouldn't have to take such trouble.Although the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily his friend, but now Di Qing can only join hands with these people. The person in the sedan chair took a breath, "However...you really lived up to my expectations. If you can make the trip, you will have whatever you want in the future!" Before Di Qing could say anything, the sedan chair had already been lifted out of the alley.The bright moon shines on the long street like a layer of frost. Di Qing didn't catch up any more, just thinking... this person is so conceited, who could it be?He finally understood that it was not Feiying who arranged for him to enter the palace, but the man in the sedan chair. So... this man has a lot of power in the palace? Di Qing didn't want to go any further, and didn't chase after him. He left the alley and chose another path.As for how to dispose of the corpse, he didn't have to think about it at all.The only thing he needs to consider now is, how can he kill Yuan Hao? The sedan chair passed a few more streets and finally stopped.Lang buried aside and said: "My lord...why didn't you leave?" The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and the autumn moon was high and cold, casting a pale blue light on the face of the person in the sedan chair. The man had a high forehead and a straight nose, but his temples were already stained white with frost.If he were twenty years younger, he would undoubtedly be a handsome man who would make women's hearts flutter.But the end of a hero and the twilight of a beautiful woman are all things that make people helpless. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the person in the sedan chair suddenly said, "I haven't seen such a bright moonlight for a long time." Lang Bu said: "My lord...are you worried that things won't work?" The person in the sedan chair sighed and said, "This is the most unsure shot in my life. But I have to make a shot..." Lang Zhe tentatively asked: "Do you think Di Qing's martial arts are not strong enough?" The person in the sedan chair shook his head and said, "He is already the strongest martial artist we can find. Even if Feiying fights himself, I'm afraid he can't beat him." "Then what else is the prince afraid of?" Lang buried his brows with worry. The person in the sedan chair glanced at Langbu, his eyes flashed with emotion, "Because you and I both know that the person Di Qing wants to kill must be stronger!" He suddenly smiled mockingly, "Didn't Zhao Yunsheng also contact us back then? Going to kill Emperor Song? Now that Feng Shui has changed, it's funny that we contact Di Qing to kill Yuan Hao." Although the person in the sedan chair said it was funny, there was no smile in his eyes, because he knew that this matter was not funny at all.Yuan Hao is not Zhao Zhen, if this matter fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Lang Zhan hesitated and said: "Actually... I don't know if I should say something or not?" The man in the sedan chair said: "You tell me. At this time, do you and I still divide each other?" Lang Xian suggested: "If the prince lets go and retires, maybe he can avoid this disaster. Sometimes... a step back is a good move." The person in the sedan chair sharpened his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Are you thinking of quitting?" Lang Bu couldn't avoid the eyes of the people in the sedan chair, and said in a deep voice: "Lang Bu is not afraid, but he is only worried about the prince. Although we have made arrangements and arranged for Di Qing, there is still not much to take Wu Zu's life." Be sure. It is not a pity for Lang to die, but I am afraid that something will happen to the prince. Lang is bold, please think twice." The person in the sedan chair looked away and sighed: "Even if I let go, will Wuzu let go? Wuzu is no longer the same Wuzu back then. I have accompanied him to conquer the great world. I don't want to be just a mere Zhong Shiheng." , let him be suspicious of me. This time I was asked to return to Xingqing Mansion from Mingtang. Mingli is because he is proclaiming the emperor soon, so he asked me to come back to congratulate him, but... I don’t know what he is thinking. Of course I can let it go Everything, but let go, what is the difference between death and death?" Lang Bu no longer persuaded him, because he also knew that sometimes people live because they can't let go! Power can make people crazy, but of course power can also make people die! In the blink of an eye, Di Qing worked as a bodyguard for another three days, but he was not in a hurry because he knew that someone was more anxious than him. Entering the palace on this day, Di Qing was on duty for the day shift and went to the Yangxintang to be on duty.Few people go there on weekdays, so it is not considered an important place.Before Di Qing could set off, he encountered a wave. Although the two had known each other for a long time, they never said a word when they met each other.Just when they passed each other, Lang Bu suddenly said to Di Qing, "Aren't you going to pay back the money you owe me?" Everyone was startled, Di Qing sneered and said, "When did I owe you money?" When he replied, he already knew that it was time to act. Lang Bu hit him with a punch, but Di Qing grabbed his wrist, the two wrestled for a while, Shang Qi came over to persuade him: "Go out and talk about something!" Lang buried his fist and said angrily, "Don't let me see you again." He suddenly turned around and left, Shangqi complained: "Why did you provoke him? When you go out, be careful...... I can't handle these nonsense." This was a common dispute among imperial guards in the palace. Since nothing happened, everyone would forget it after seeing it. Di Qing's face was full of anger, his fists were clenched, and he followed Shang Qi, and when he arrived at the Yangxin Hall, he was still a little bit annoyed.When he was wandering around alone, Di Qing opened his palm and saw a wax pill inside.Gently crush the wax pill, revealing a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing. Di Qing took a second look and understood everything. He rubbed the paper into pieces and carefully buried it. As dusk approached, the setting sun shone, and the red wall was like blood. Di Qing looked at the glazed glass on the roof of the hall, and his eyes wandered a little. There was only one sentence written on the paper, "Tomorrow, the Temple of Heaven and Harmony will take action!" The order was simple and clear, but for this blow, it took too many people's effort. Tomorrow, he must sneak into the Temple of Heaven and Harmony tonight. Di Qing frowned a little, and the six classes in Yuwei were divided into three groups, with twenty-four teams in each of the three groups, and the badges of each team were recorded in detail in the palace.This kind of measure not only prevents the assassins from entering, but also prevents the garrison from entering. Di Qing has been unable to figure out how to fill the gap if he suddenly disappears. When Di Qing was wondering, someone from the palace walked in, saw Shang Qi and said with a smile: "Shang Qi, the prince told me to come to you, I don't know what it is?" Some people in the palace are free to move around, that is, palace servants and maids. This is the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Looking at the clothes of the palace servants, they look like people from the imperial dining room. Shang Qi looked around and said: "My lord said..." He said a few words like a mosquito, his voice was very low, the palace man was very strange and asked: "What did you say?" Without waiting to ask again, Suddenly his eyes popped out, because a rope had strangled his neck. The other end of the rope is in Shangqi's hand. When Di Qing saw it from a distance, he was taken aback, and immediately understood what was going on. Shang Qi killed the palace maid, turned his head and shouted to Di Qing: "Take off your clothes, take off your saber." He put Di Qing's clothes, saber, and waist badge on the palace maid. Di Qing figured it out, Shang Luo Duoduo is dead, and it doesn't matter if there are fewer palace servants in the palace for the time being.Shang Qi killed this palace man, but he acted as Shang Luo Duoduo's surrogate, which made it easier for Di Qing to leave. Shang Qi dressed the palace man in Shang Luo Duoduo's clothes, stained the beard on the palace man, and smeared blood on the palace man's face. Even Di Qing felt that the person lying on the ground was himself. . Ga Jia has dug a hole out of the rockery, and took out the clothes inside for Di Qing to change into. It was a set of tight clothes, in addition to the clothes, there were a pair of shoes, two bamboo tubes, a dagger and a small bag of food. When Di Qing was changing clothes, Gajia said: "One bamboo tube is poisonous water, with a range of four feet. One bamboo tube is poisonous needles, with a range of seven feet! There is only one chance to spray. They are all used when close to the body, as long as a little touch If you hit the opponent, you will be doomed. These two hidden weapons have only one button, and they will be fired once you press it." The bamboo tube is ingeniously constructed, and the blackness makes people feel intimidated. Di Qing took the bamboo tube and put it away properly, but his eyes fell on the dagger.There is a short sheath outside the dagger, which is dark and unremarkable.Ga Jia drew out his sword, the sword was extremely short, only a foot long, but it was fierce and cold, and it touched the eyebrows and hair of the person who drew the sword. Di Qing couldn't help but said: "Good sword." He didn't even have to try it, he could feel that the sword could cut gold and jade, and cut iron like mud. Ga Jia suddenly pressed the protruding pattern on the hilt with his thumb, and there was a soft "ding", the light of the sword soared and suddenly became three feet long. Di Qing's eyes flashed, and he sighed, "Good sword." He had to say that these people had considered everything in order to kill Yuan Hao. Ga Jia pressed the pattern, the long sword retracted, Di Qing took the short sword and stuck it in his waist, and finally realized that it was not because of his good disguise all this time, but because Shang Qi, Ga Jia and Chang Li had been with him in the first place. It's a group of people. So, many of the guards in the palace are subordinates of the people in the sedan chair? Di Qing didn't have time to think about it, Changli had already walked over and said: "There is a hollow in that rockery, enough for you to hide until dark. You need to solve the rest by yourself." Di Qing nodded and got into the rockery.Afterwards, the warning signal came out, footsteps were loud, and someone was already running towards this direction. Shang Luo Duoduo died, and was killed by Shang Qi because he disobeyed orders and walked around without authorization. In the palace, the hierarchy is extremely strict, and disobedience is a death penalty.As for even if someone doubts it, it will be a matter of the future.After the hustle and bustle, it gradually calmed down. There were only four people guarding the Yangxintang, standing there like a few people still begging.Di Qing hid in the rockery cave, waiting for the sunset and nightfall. There are no stars and no moon, although there are lights in the palace, but the Yangxintang is surrounded by darkness.Di Qing had already noticed that the guards were dozing off, and when he was unaware, he quietly left the rockery and walked towards the Tianhe Hall. These days, he was very familiar with every plant and tree in the palace, so he easily avoided the warning and arrived at the Tianhe Hall. Tianhe Hall was originally the place where Yuan Hao and the officials discussed important matters. Although it was heavily guarded during the day, at night, because no one was staying, the defense was much weaker. Like a civet cat, Di Qing climbed up from one of the pillars, lightly stepped on the glazed tiles, and reached the upper part of the main hall. After searching for a while, he lifted a few tiles, sneaked in, and hid on the beams of the main hall. From there, you can see everything below, but because this is a blind spot, the people below can't see the movement above.Di Qing could see a dragon chair on a high platform in the hall, covered with yellow satin embroidered with dragons.There was only one chair there, and there must have been only one person sitting there. That is the unique Yuan Hao in Northwest China! Compared with the palace hall in Bianjing, Tianhe Hall is less exhausted, and the palace is empty, but more awe-inspiring. Di Qing looked at the dragon chair for a long time, and after thinking about the angle of attack, he finally took dry food from his bosom and swallowed it slowly.Shangqi prepared the food for him, but he didn't move. He has never trusted Feiying and the man in the sedan chair, but he believes that now that Yuan Hao is not dead, he is still worth being used. Sometimes, no one can tell who is taking advantage of whom. Things seem complicated, and things seem too smooth.Up to now, Di Qing has no turning back. Sitting on the beam, he thought a lot, but what he missed most was the light dance in the rain, the neon clothes and feather clothes, but in that light dance, there always seemed to be a blue ribbon blowing up with the wind. As blue as the sea and as clean as the sky, Di Qing closed his eyes and waited for the dawn. The rooster sings three times, the east is slightly white, Di Qing wakes up early, adjusts his breath and luck, and exercises his muscles and bones a little.When he was resting here, he was careful not to let even a speck of dust fall. He knew that soon... the time for Yuan Hao's morning court would arrive. Soon, the two heavy hall doors were pushed open, and a ray of sunlight came in from outside, tearing away only a corner of the shadow in the hall. The autumn morning light carries the desolation of wild geese flying south.Looking at the morning light, Di Qing suddenly thought that it is not easy to see the morning light every day. Drums sounded, and guards with halberds entered in two rows.They don't need to check anything anymore, because they are confident that even birds are hard to fly in with the security here. A valued palace official shouted: "Hundreds of officials enter." Di Qing didn't know most of the dozens of courtiers who came in.Although he had been in the palace for more than a month, he rarely met these officials. He was a guard, and he would not ask too many things. 狄青能认出的人只有两个，一个是那满是书卷气的中书令张元，另外一个当然就是大宋叛将夏守贇。 可狄青更留意的是另外一个人，那人站在张元之后，远在夏守贇之前。那人额头很高，鼻梁挺直，鬓角微染霜白。以那人所站位置来看，应是元昊手下的重臣。 这次刺杀行动极为缜密，若非是重臣，岂能轻易掌控布局？ 群臣就位后，乐声又起，群臣肃然垂手，恭候元昊前来。狄青听偏廊处脚步沓沓，斜望过去，见那里走出两队护卫，左右各八名，均是身着金甲，手执长戟，极具气势。 狄青心头沉重，他已就看出，那十六名护卫均是步履沉稳，渊渟岳峙，显然都是武技好手。 可那十六人就算金甲长戟，气势非凡，却也掩不住中间行来那人的风采，狄青其实第一眼就看到了那个人。 那是个无论你在什么地方，第一眼都要留意、不能不看的人。 那人身着白衣，头带黑冠。白衣胜雪，黑冠如墨。 他浑身上下，可说是没有半分华丽的装束，因为他已不用龙袍金冠来维护所谓的尊严。他若是龙，走到哪里都是龙，何必衣锦着绮？ 他就是那么缓步的走上了龙座，静静地坐下来，手指轻弹。一把长弓置在案前，一壶羽箭轻放手边。 长弓刚劲，壶中只插着五枝箭，箭簇颜色各异。一枝灿烂若金，一枝洁白若银，一枝泛着淡黄的铜色，另外两枝箭簇一黑一灰，泛着森然的冷光。 狄青心中已在想，元昊为何只用五枝箭，那五枝箭矢若和箭簇一样的颜色，就应该是金银铜铁锡五种。 这人狂傲如斯，难道认为天底下，只需要这五枝箭就能解决一切问题吗？ 蓦地心中一震，狄青心中有些古怪，仿佛想到个极为重要的事情，偏偏一时间忘记了是什么。 钟磬一响，万籁俱静。元昊终于开口道：“中书令，我志在一统天下，三川口一战后，又过大半年之久，不知你可有了取天下之策？”那声音不带丝毫的狂傲，甚至可说是漫声轻语，但其中语意决绝，不容置疑。 狄青心中一震，暗想大宋整日想着内斗，赵祯年少缺乏魄力，比起这整日想着一统天下的元昊，可差了许多。 中书令张元上前，恭声道：“启禀兀卒，定天下之计早有，无非是尽取陇右之地，据关中形胜，东向而取汴京。若能再结契丹之兵，时窥河北，使中原一身两疾，其势难支撑久矣。” 元昊一听，并不回应，只是手抚桌案，食指轻叩。狄青这才留意到，元昊的手掌秀气，手指纤长，但轻轻叩动，却显得极为有力。 不知为何，狄青从他敲击的动作中，宛若看到力士擂鼓，金戈铮铮，这是不是说，元昊表面上虽儒雅平静，可内心却战意熊熊？ 可最让狄青留意的是……元昊左手尾指留有长长的指甲，而那指甲竟是蓝色。 蓝色如海…… 狄青心头一震，不知为何，已想起了飞雪的那条丝带。他绝不该这么去想，因为飞雪和元昊，本是完全不同类型的人，更不会有任何瓜葛。但狄青那一刻，心中却有种古怪的念头，那就是飞雪和元昊……其间必有联系。 大殿沉寂，悄无声息，但每个人心中都像有战鼓擂动，咚咚响个不停……
