Perhaps the pair of bandits, Chen Shouyi and Li Qi, had killed too many people and were guilty of too many crimes. When they suddenly saw a green ghost head, they shrunk their necks and turned back into a pair of ghost heads, scaring them out of their wits. They actually knocked over the screen and fell to the ground. Caught off guard, they were hacked to death by the guards who rushed in.
After the Imperial Bodyguards killed the two assassins, they looked up and saw that there was no screen in front of them. As soon as they saw the two ghost heads, the Imperial Bodyguards jumped in fright. Fortunately, they had the advantage in numbers, so they didn't turn around and run away.
When the two evil ghosts on the bed saw the guards raising their sabers and spears, one of them hurriedly shouted: "Don't attack! Look carefully, I am Zhang Changzong, I am Minister Fengchen Zhang Changzong! "
As he shouted, the green skin on his face fell off, revealing a bit of his appearance. Only then did everyone realize that he was indeed Zhang Changzong. They didn't know what he had smeared on his face, but it was so ugly that it was frightening.
At this time, the other green-faced ghost rubbed his hands together and had already rubbed off more than half of the green skin on his face. Wearing a red nightgown, he jumped to the ground and angrily shouted: "There are actually assassins who dare to harm us! How audacious! First protect us brothers, then send someone to investigate in detail! "This person who had rubbed off his green skin was actually Zhang Yizhi.
It turned out that these two brothers' future of riches and honor depended on their pretty faces, so they cherished their faces very much. Other than when they were serving Wu Zetian, every night they would mix mung bean paste, egg white, vegetable juice, almonds, honey, and other ingredients into a kind of beauty paste and apply it to their faces. Every morning, they would wash their faces after waking up.
Tonight, Yang Fan had already made all kinds of arrangements, but he didn't give these two brothers any special protection. In Yang Fan's view, if the Wu brothers were to make a move tonight and really break through the encirclement to kill their way into the inner chamber, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to kill the Zhang brothers with a single blade. Unexpectedly, these two brothers were so lucky that they actually used the beauty paste on their faces to save his life.
Outside the Prince of Luling's residence, upon seeing the guards rushing in upon hearing the alarm, Tan Jin, who was hiding in the shadows, waved his hand down and shouted, "Move!"
Immediately, several guards ignited the objects in their hands and tossed them toward the King of Luling's residence and courtyard. Bows and arrows were usually kept in the armory for safekeeping. This was not a battlefield where two armies faced off against each other, so naturally, bows and arrows could not be taken out. Even if they were taken out, it would be too conspicuous to carry them around.
They made some incendiary bombs and wrapped them in pottery jars. As soon as they fell to the ground, they burst into flames. As soon as the fire was ignited, Zheng Yu let out a whistle and shouted, "Someone is plotting against the Prince of Luling, protect the Prince of Luling!" Finished speaking, he leaped out and led a group of cavalry to charge in.
At the same time, Ji Zubing, Yin Changsheng, Tan Jin, and the others each led a sentry team and shouted their own slogans, such as "Protect the Prince of Luling!", "Protect Princess Taiping!", "Protect State Elder Di! Protect Prime Minister Yao! Protect Prime Minister Wei …"
Their slogans were different, but their actions were the same, charging in together. Prince Liang's men, Prince Wei's men, Di Renjie's men, Wei Zhigu's and Yao Chong's imperial guards from the south, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's imperial guards from the north, Princess Taiping's men, as well as a hundred cavalrymen, internal guards, and assassins who could not escape in time. The small residence was immediately thrown into chaos like a hornet's nest.
There were so many people from different backgrounds and factions, and they were not familiar with each other. If they did not introduce themselves, no one would know who they were, so it was a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. This was Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi's plan. Sending assassins might not necessarily be able to kill the Prince of Luling, so as long as they could get close to him under the guise of protecting the Prince of Luling, they could take advantage of the chaos and make their move at night.
…
It was a mess on the hilltop, but it was quiet on the hillside.
In the residence of the hot spring soup supervisor, a black shadow quietly walked to the window and pushed it open with both hands. The battle cries on the hill immediately came into his ears.
The faint moonlight shone on his body, which was actually naked. This was a perfect, strong, sunny male body with smooth and graceful lines of muscles. He had broad shoulders, strong chest muscles, a flat abdomen, a tucked-in waist, and a muscular buttocks …
"The bodhi is not a tree, and the bright mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the world, so where does the dust come from?"
Looking at the torches fluttering like fireflies on the hilltop from afar, the naked, beautiful man actually recited a famous Buddhist poem in a very Zen manner.
"Dead man! Qilang is not on the hill, so let them do whatever they want. Why don't you come? "
A charming and enchanting voice suddenly came from behind. The slightly panting tone and the charming and enchanting voice were especially attractive in this quiet night.
The person standing in front of the window unconsciously turned around and saw the high and low of the bed, which was a beautiful landscape. The tall and straight jade chest, thin waist, plump buttocks, and slender thighs outlined an extremely attractive curve. The faint light, which clearly and secretly hid the mountains and rivers, made people want to explore it even more.
The person standing in front of the window couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration and closed the window. The shouts and battle cries suddenly became distant again.
The naked, muscular man gently walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He put his hand on her beautiful and firm calf and followed the warm and smooth curve all the way up. The slender and round thighs, the round and perky buttocks, the slender waist, and the beautiful back as smooth as jade …
His exploration didn't last for too long. The person on the bed became more and more short of breath because of his caresses. She couldn't wait any longer. She suddenly stretched out a pair of jade arms and hooked them around the neck of her lover who was sitting on the side of the bed. Then she pulled him down on the bed together.
The man smiled mischievously and said, "Little greedy cat, you want to have a second taste?"
The woman said coquettishly, "Are you giving it to me or not!"
How could the man say no, so the battle began again.
The woman knelt on the bed. Although the light was dim, one could still see her slender waist, which made the circumference of her buttocks look especially big. The shape of the honey peach made people want to pierce it. So this warrior raised his gun and rushed forward without hesitation.
In the violent collision sounds, the tempting honey peach continued to move forward. Finally, with an "Aiya" sound, the woman's head hit the bed in front of her. She couldn't bear to let the warrior who was trying to break the fortress and try to release himself stop for a rest. She just gritted her teeth and grabbed a soft pillow to put on her head.
The battle on the mountain was also fighting on the mountainside.
The battle on the mountain was a battle that was destined to have no winner no matter who lost first. But the battle on the mountainside was a battle where the man lost first, so only one side could enjoy the fruits of victory. The woman lost first, so both sides could enjoy the fruits of victory. Who would win?
…
The commotion on the mountain continued until dawn and still hadn't subsided.
It was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it was difficult to distinguish factions. In the chaos, those who tried to protect the Prince of Luling suddenly felt that it was better to protect their master first. But after their master was found, he repeatedly asked them to protect the Prince of Luling, so they simply came to protect their master.
And those who pretended to protect the Prince of Luling chased the assassins and the non-existent assassins everywhere. After searching every room, even the woodshed and the kitchen, they found that the Prince of Luling was nowhere to be found. So while covering the escape of the assassins, they expanded the search area.
When the east was just beginning to brighten, everyone was sure of one fact: the Prince of Luling was gone, and so was the Princess Taiping. To be precise, since the banquet last night, no one had seen them again.
Gu Zhuting, dressed in the military uniform of the inner guards, mingled in the ranks of the inner guards, together with Gao Ying and Lan Yiqing, pretending to look for the Prince of Luling. She almost laughed out loud. She felt that the Sect Master's plan was really wonderful. Who would have thought that this pretty inner guard was the Prince of Luling whom they had been searching for thousands of times?
Just when everyone was at a loss, two female sumo wrestlers accompanied the Princess Taiping appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at her radiant appearance, she should have won the battle last night. But looking at her ruddy face, which was like a red lotus that had absorbed enough dew, it seemed that the winner was someone else. Who knew? In any case, Yang Fan had appeared in the crowd at some point, looking a little tired as if he had accompanied everyone for most of the night.
"Don't panic, everyone. The Prince of Luling is safe and sound!"
The moment the Princess Taiping arrived, she gave everyone a reassuring pill. She didn't want Elder Di to die of anxiety here. Standing on either side of Di Renjie, Wei Zhigu and Yao Chong couldn't help but tightly grasp Di Renjie's old and cold hands, while Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, who had been pretending to be anxious, felt a chill in their hearts.
"There's no need to ask. There are too many people here, and it's hard to say that there aren't people hiding here with ill intentions towards the Prince of Luling. It's really inconvenient for me to tell you right now. Last night, because I sensed that something was wrong, I first protected my seventh brother and didn't inform everyone in advance. Please forgive me. Prince Liang, Prince Wei, Prime Minister Di, Prime Minister Wei, and Prime Minister Yao, I thank you all for coming to the rescue in time! "
The Princess Taiping bowed to the people she mentioned, and everyone returned the gesture. Among them, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi returned the gesture with mixed feelings in their hearts. The Princess Taiping smiled at Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong and said, "It's really my elder brother's fault for causing the Fifth and Sixth Brothers to be unable to rest. I'll have my elder brother hold a banquet to calm the Fifth and Sixth Brothers down."
Zhang Yizhi chuckled and deliberately glanced at Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, saying with a double meaning, "This wine to calm the Fifth and Sixth Brothers should indeed be treated by someone else. There's no need for the Princess to apologize. If not for the Princess's wisdom in making preparations and allowing the Prince of Luling to be injured right under our noses, we really wouldn't be able to explain it to the Sages. Speaking of which, we should be the ones thanking the Princess. "
The Princess smiled faintly and said, "It's still early. Why don't the two of you go back to your rooms and take a nap? When the sun rises, I'll invite the Seventh Brother to be escorted back to the city!"
Zhang Yizhi sighed and said, "It's been a rough night. How can I sleep? I'll go back to the palace and have a good sleep after handing over the task. I won't sleep now. Prince Wei, Prince Liang, the three Prime Ministers, why don't we sit in the main hall for a while and have a chat? After breakfast, we'll wait for the sun to rise. What do you think? "
Di Renjie and the other two naturally wouldn't agree. At this juncture, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi knew that their plan had failed. They were dispirited and couldn't show it, so they could only force themselves to agree. The group then walked to the main hall. At this moment, no one noticed that the girl surnamed Gu had disappeared from the inner guards …
