my wife is mulan

But now he doesn't have the time to spread the news, he is here to assassinate Tuoba Tao.

The leader of the men in black appeared at this moment, and he walked up to the man in blue and asked, "Your Excellency, there are mixed fish and dragons in the brothel, so it is convenient for us to sneak in and assassinate, and because of the large number of people, we can retreat calmly after the assassination is completed!"

The green shirt guy seemed to be weighing and thinking, and he quickly rejected the proposal: "No, my brothel is too unfamiliar to us, although it has the conveniences you mentioned, but it is also because of this, the barbarian chief It's easy to escape! Know that we only have one chance, and if we miss, we'll never get another chance! Keep waiting, as long as

If they don't go elsewhere, they don't have to come back to report for the time being. Until they return, you two hang far behind them. Once our side launches an attack, you two will block their escape route! "

The leader of the man in black nodded to the man in black who reported the message. The man clasped his fists, turned around and left quickly, and everyone quickly sneaked into the darkness to hide.

The guest in long robes was betting that Tuoba Tao would not spend the night in a brothel. As an emperor, it might be difficult to restrain his desires sometimes. Passed by the accompanying ministers.The next morning, the ministers wanted to pay their respects. If the emperor disappeared, what would happen to the ministers?The eunuch next to the emperor must be the first to be questioned. Under such circumstances, no one has the guts to hide it. Once the news of the emperor's overnight stay in the brothel spreads, it will have a great impact on the emperor's reputation. The emperor You can be willful, but the ministers can't ignore the face of the country. No matter how authoritative Tuoba Tao is, he dare not confront all the ministers.

Changshanke was right, now Tuoba Tao is a very self-disciplined person, he will indulge himself once in a while, but there is a limit to such indulgence.

About an hour and a half later, Tuoba Tao and the group returned. They walked briskly and occasionally laughed loudly while talking.

Two plainclothes guards walked in front, one on the left and one on the right, twenty or thirty steps away from Tuoba Tao and the others in the middle, and there were four people in the back, twenty or thirty steps away from Tuoba Tao and the others, excluding the two eunuchs Zong Tai and Zong Ai , surrounded by six guards.

Suddenly, there were two "swish", and the two plainclothes guards at the front, twenty or thirty steps away, fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, and someone immediately shouted: "There are assassins!"

"Shua, Shua, Shua..." All the plainclothes guards quickly pulled out their waist knives and guarded Tuoba Tao in the middle as if they were facing an enemy. The four people in the back quickly approached Tuoba Tao, but they were facing the direction when they returned.

"Swish, swish..." Arrows kept coming.

The guards around Tuoba Tao immediately swung their knives and slashed. Some arrows were knocked into the air, but some guards fell to the ground. In just a few breaths, there were only five guards around Tuoba Tao. Yes, seven were killed by arrows.

"It should be a continuous crossbow!" One of the guards said in a deep voice, "This kind of crossbow is only available in the army. Our soldiers in the court are mainly cavalry and are not equipped with this kind of weapon. It's hard to say for the guards, but the guards The weapons and equipment of the garrison soldiers are all supplied by the imperial court, so it is unlikely to have such weapons, only the state and county soldiers prepare their own weapons, and there are special craftsmen to make them!"

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and several men in black rushed over from all directions, and suddenly there was a flash of swords and swords, and there was a sound of fighting.

Zong Ai, who had never experienced such a battle before, lay down on the ground and yelled in fright, but Zong Tai was holding a whisk in his hand, with a calm face, and tightly guarded Tuoba Tao.

Seeing the bodyguards being killed one by one, Tuoba Tao couldn't bear it any longer. He caught a knife with his foot and was about to rush forward to kill the black-clothed assassin, but Zong Tai held him back .

"Let go of me!" Tuoba Tao yelled.

Zong Tai calmly said: "Your Majesty, there is an old slave here, so there is no need for Your Majesty to go to battle in person!"

At this time, an assassin stabbed with a sword, Zong Tai swept the dust in his hand, the long sword was entangled, and was thrown out instantly and shot another assassin. Flicking the whisk, his throat was cut several times, and he fell down slowly holding his throat.

"What an old eunuch! Kill me!" The leader of the assassins in black yelled and rushed forward to fight Zong Tai, and the other guards were greeted by each other.

At this time, there were a lot of horseshoes in the distance, and a guard shouted: "Hold on, reinforcements are coming!"

The assassins felt a sudden sense of urgency, each of them tried their best regardless of life and death, exchanging wounds for wounds, holding the idea of ​​perishing together, fighting one by one, the guards couldn't stand it anymore and were injured one after another, but they still desperately guarded in the extension. By Ba Tao's side.

But when the reinforcements arrived, the leader of the black-clothed assassins saw that the situation was not right. It was impossible to kill Tuoba Tao.

But the assassins found this place

Although the shape is suitable for ambushes, it is not convenient to escape, and they cannot disperse to escape. They can only gallop to the rear, but they are quickly blocked by a large number of soldiers and horses.

There were only three remaining assassins surrounded, and the leader of the assassins gritted his teeth and said, "Kill!"

Just dying, all the assassins, including the assassin leader, were stabbed to death by the soldiers with spears in an instant, and their bodies fell to the ground.

Chapter 91

A general in iron armor walked up to Tuoba Tao with his sword and bowed down: "Chen Yulin's leading general, Tuoba Shang, escorted him late, please forgive me!"

Tuoba Tao looked at the dead assassin's body and his own bodyguard, his face was ashen and frightening, he looked at Tuoba Shang again, let go of the hand holding the knife handle, raised his hand and said: "Tuoba Shang, Get up, drive back to the palace!"

"Follow the order!" Tuoba Shang agreed, stood up and raised his hand, and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, drive back to the palace!"

Tuoba Tao rode on a horse, and the soldiers and horses collectively turned to guard Tuoba Tao and walked towards the house where he was staying.

"Zong Ai, get up! Why are you so useless, a few assassins scare you like this? I don't know how long you have to wait until you have the guts to stand out. I'm afraid His Majesty will be very dissatisfied with you!" Zong Tai pulled Zong Ai up and reprimanded him with a look of hatred.

Zong Ai bowed to Zong Tai with a mournful face and said, "Father, my son used to be a playboy who ate, drank and had fun. How did he experience such battles? It's pretty good that he didn't pee his pants!"

Zong Tai smiled when he heard this: "That's true, that's fine, let's go!"

The assassination of the emperor quickly alarmed the ministers and generals accompanying him, Wan Dugui and the high-ranking officials under the Suiyang prefect's mansion ran over to pay their respects in fear.

Wan Dugui quickly dispatched the garrison to check the houses and shops near the emperor's palace to remove other hidden dangers.

Tuoba Tao returned to the lobby, he waved to Zong Tai with a gloomy face, and asked, "I made a temporary decision to go out, why did those assassins wait for the assassination in the middle of my return? Obviously they should be on my way out Afterwards, I got the news very quickly, and I will check immediately to find out who spread the news!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The safety of the emperor was a major issue, and there were strict regulations on entering and exiting the palace where he stayed. Zong Tai immediately sent someone to fetch the entry and exit records at the gate of the palace for inspection.

Zong Tai carefully recalled what happened before and after. Zong Ai had been by his side all the time, so he had no chance to pass on the news. The accompanying guards were all temporarily mobilized. Going out, where are they going, they are all the emperor's trusted bodyguards, each of them is innocent, and the time to protect the emperor is not short, and these people are all brave enough to protect the emperor after the assassination. All of the guards were seriously injured, and they didn't look like assassins at all.

Suddenly, Zong Tai thought of Zhao Junsheng, he thought that with Zhao Junsheng's cleverness, it is impossible not to guess that the emperor is going out to have a good time, maybe he is the one who spread the news.

"Come on, go and call Zhao Canjun!"

"Yes, father-in-law!"

Zhao Junsheng rushed over quickly: "The next official has met Grandpa Zong!"

Zong Tai was surprised and said: "Our family just sent someone to look for you, but it only takes a cup of tea, why did you arrive so soon?"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Eunuch, I have never gone back. I have been writing recipes here since dark. I plan to hand over the recipes to Eunuch before leaving. I was still looking for Eunuch just now. Here, Here's the recipe!"

Zong Tai suspiciously took a scroll, opened it, and looked at it. Judging from the ink stains, it was indeed just written, and there was still a strong smell of ink. The entire scroll was more than three feet long, and the font was in small letters, which was very fair. Well, it looks like it was written with care.

Zong Tai put away the scroll and asked, "Where did you write the recipe just now?"

"There is a small room over the back kitchen, where the next official is!"

"Didn't you go out in the middle?"

"No!" Zhao Junsheng shook his head, felt wrong after answering, and asked, "What does father-in-law mean by asking this?"

Zong Tai then smiled and said: "Your Majesty just went out for a trip, and was assassinated on the way back. This is just a routine investigation. You don't need to panic! It's fine, you can go!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's too late, after the ugly time, you have to prepare meals for hundreds of people, and you have to come back after two hours of sleep, it's too troublesome, I'd better spend the night in the back kitchen never mind!"

"That's up to you!

"

After Zhao Junsheng left, Zong Tai frowned. If it wasn't Zhao Junsheng, who would spread the news?

At this time, an eunuch hurried over and put a booklet on the ground: "Boss, this is the record of entering and leaving the palace!"
