After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 441: The fate of being a hostage

Jiang Tai was in a hurry to go to the battlefield, and even though he had instructed Madam Wei to "appease" the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, he really had no time to take care of the personnel affairs in Weiyang Palace, and he always trusted Wu Ziwei, and having him temporarily in charge of the palace guards and sitting in Weiyang Palace, he should not allow anyone to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. But Madam Wei was certainly not careless, and she had already met with Wu Hou and expressed her concerns. Wu Hou knew that Jiang Lina had suffered a great loss at the hands of Ying Shu before, and that the Queen Mother, at the instigation of Gao, had actually proposed to execute the Lord of Shenyuan Palace and seek peace with Northern Zhao, which was a stupid thing. She would never think that Madam Wei was worrying too much.

So he told his brother to take stronger precautions.

Therefore, when Jiang Lina, holding the empress dowager's letter, mobilized a large number of fifty personal soldiers to the last gate leading to the Baoguang Palace from the Palace Guard Department, her final destination was already clear. Normally, there were only two palace guards guarding here, and they would not stop or inquire about the intentions of such a distinguished person as the ***. But now was a critical moment, and Wu Ziwei specially dispatched a commander here, and the guards were increased from two to ten. When the commander saw that Jiang Lina was coming with great momentum, he naturally stepped forward to stop her.

Jiang Lina was anxious to take revenge, and she didn't care at all about whose orders the palace guards were taking in the Weiyang Palace. She just thought that Jiang Tai was not in the palace, and Queen Mother Yao was naturally the most powerful person. This mere palace guard commander actually dared to stop her and talked to her about the national laws and palace rules. She felt the anger that had been suppressed for a long time rising to the top of her head. She didn't care about the embarrassment of showing her gap teeth when she spoke, and she shouted with saliva flying.

"I am following the Queen Mother's order to go to Baoguang Palace to capture the two evildoers Xuan and Wang. How dare you stop me? His Majesty is not in the palace now. Do you have the guts to rebel? Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for executing you with the Queen Mother's token!"

When the commander heard this, he realized that *** was indeed going to cause trouble, and quickly brought out Wu Ziwei.

Jiang Lina realized that Wu Ziwei was now in charge of the palace guards, but she now regarded Wu's tribe as slaves of the Jiang royal family. Instead of feeling intimidated, she started to curse again: "Although Wu is the queen, with the queen mother here, it is not her turn to be the mother of the country. Wu Ziwei is just a watchdog for me. How dare he stop me from carrying out the queen mother's order? Get out of here!"

Of course the commander would not go away.

Jiang Lina whipped the commander with a whip. The commander was whipped but still refused to budge. This loyal and brave commander successfully aroused Jiang Lina's bloodthirsty nature with his iron will. The woman opened her bloodshot eyes angrily and took a step back: "Behead!"

How could the commander just sit there and wait for death without taking action himself? Seeing a palace guard draw his saber, the commander immediately raised his weapon to resist. The guards of Queen Mother Yao were no match for the commander. After three or two rounds, the commander's saber pressed against their throats, and they subconsciously dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.

When Jiang Lina saw this situation, she didn't bother to complain about the incompetence of her personal guards. She relied on her country's sovereignty and knew that the commander would never dare to fight back. So she drew out the sword of a personal guard who was standing in a daze beside her, and slashed at the commander's head and face.

Poor commander, he really didn't dare to use force against the ***. Although he dodged the ***'s sword, he was attacked from behind by a personal guard and his shoulder was pierced by a cold sword. After this injury, he was stabbed by the *** again and had no ability to resist at all.

Jiang Lina looked at the commander lying in a pool of blood and said with a fierce smile: "Who of you dares to disobey the imperial order?!"

Indeed, no palace guards dared to stop Jiang Lina, the crazy woman. They watched helplessly as this group of people broke through their "pass" and headed straight for Baoguang Palace. They were all panicked for a moment.

Fortunately, although the commander was injured, he was not dead. He held on to his breath, half-knelt up from the pool of blood, and weakly ordered: "Quickly notify Captain Wu."

Speaking of Yingshu, she didn't know exactly when Jiang Lina would arrive, but she was certain that Jiang Lina would definitely arrive. At such a critical moment, she would certainly not leave the Baoguang Palace to wander around, and she would not even leave the inner courtyard of the Baoguang Palace. Since Jiang Tai went on the expedition in person, she even asked Madam Wei to stay in the Baoguang Palace.

Although the Left Deputy Envoy did not show any panic, even Yang Neichen in Baoguang Palace realized that something unexpected was going to happen. The eunuch was very nervous. He had to personally test and test the poison on all the food and drinks presented to the Baoguang Palace. Although he knew that all the offices in the Weiyang Palace were still under the control of Empress Wu, and that Empress Wu would definitely obey the imperial orders and would not harm the envoys from Dongyu at this time, causing the situation to become more chaotic, Yang Neichen still couldn't rest assured - who knew if the empress dowager would plot something bad and poison them secretly.

Eunuch Yang really overestimated Empress Dowager Yao.

Madam Wei noticed Yang Neichen's caution and said to Yingshu, "Since Jiang Tai seized the throne, he knew that the people in the palace could not be purged for a while, and he was most worried that Jiang Xiongying and Wen would not give up and would let their trusted minions poison the food. Therefore, all the things that were involved in entering the palace were immediately handed over to Wu.

Yao was simple-minded and had never been in charge of palace affairs in the past. She didn't even know that there were various chronic poisons in the world that could kill people without them noticing. She thought that no matter what the poison was, it could be identified with a silver needle. When she heard Wu drawing up all the strict and detailed rules, she laughed at Wu for making a fuss out of nothing.

Unless Yao intended to kill Jiang Tai, she would not have thought of poisoning, which she thought was troublesome and would probably not succeed. She could not just give orders to kill someone, otherwise Wen would have been under house arrest and would not be alive today. "

The implication is that the empress dowager's knowledge is not as good as that of a mere eunuch.

Speaking of Neichen Yang, since he knew that even Madam Wei had simply stayed in the Baoguang Palace, no other "visitors" would come during this period of panic, so he ordered the palace door to be closed. But even so, he could not be completely reassured. He personally guarded the porch most of the day, fearing that his men had been bribed by the Queen Mother Yao and opened the door without authorization when he was not paying attention, letting an assassin in.

At this time, he was guarding the porch, and suddenly he heard a burst of footsteps, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Then, there was the sound of someone banging on the door.

Naturally, he heard the shouting outside the door and knew that it was the Queen Mother who personally led the Queen Mother's guards to arrest people. Just closing the palace door might not be able to prevent the disturbance. Yang Neichen gritted his teeth and opened the door himself. He had wanted to risk his life to persuade the Queen Mother to "put the overall situation first", but the Queen Mother said, "Hurry up and let Xuan and Wang come out to die." Yang Neichen's confidence in convincing people with reason collapsed instantly.

Hurry inside and report.

Ying Shu, however, had no intention of confronting the crazy woman Jiang Lina. She just said "thank you" to Liang Hui, and glanced at Sikong Yuehu standing beside Liang Hui. She picked up the tea spoon and actually filled a clean porcelain cup with tea. She smiled and said to Yang Neichen, "There will be a conflict outside in a while. I would be sorry if you hurt me. Please stay here."

This time, I'm afraid it's inevitable that someone will be found dead in Baoguang Palace!

Yang Neichen was shocked, but he could do nothing. Queen Mother Yao and the emperor had tried to kill the envoys from Dongyu many times. This time, they even sent their own soldiers to openly invade the palace, claiming that they would kill the foreign envoys. This was a serious violation of the law of diplomatic relations between countries! No foreign envoy would sit and wait for death. Even if His Majesty knew about it, he would never condone the crimes of the Queen Mother and the emperor!!!

Even though Yang Neichen wanted to be a peacemaker, he knew very well that as a eunuch, he was powerless to stop the imminent fight. Deputy Envoy Zuo was not afraid of danger and even thought of keeping Yang Neichen in the inner garden to prevent this innocent man from dying in the war. But even if Deputy Envoy Zuo was kind, it was not known whether Empress Dowager Yao would vent her anger on him in the future, and His Majesty would most likely use him as a scapegoat.

Forget it, just live one day at a time.

When Liang Hui and Sikong Yuehu walked out of the inner courtyard, ten "ready to go" maidservants followed quietly. Ling Shang Gong was not paying attention and let the excited Si Shui sneak into the maidservants' team - it turned out that when Si Shui had nothing to do recently, she pestered a maidservant to teach her a few self-defense skills. Of course, she was not arrogant enough to think that she could fight with a sword, but she admired those skilled maidservants.

Si Shui was quite courageous to begin with, and had great confidence in her country's personal guards and maidservants. She had witnessed with her own eyes how miserable the Northern Han army, who were described by Mrs. Wei as domineering and brutal but good for nothing, had ended up some time ago, and she felt very sorry for it. Just now, she heard that the army was relentless and wanted to humiliate itself again, and she did not want to miss it this time, so she made up her mind to go and watch the fun.

The main hall was extremely lively at this time.

However, Si Shui did not see the envoys. She stood high in a corner of the corridor outside the main hall and only saw forty or fifty black-armored palace guards. The number of people was overwhelming, but Si Shui was not panicked at all. She had never seen the combat effectiveness of the guards, but she knew that every martial maid was equipped with a magical hidden weapon, said to be called Xiaoyao Needle. There were hundreds of needles, all of which were poisoned and installed in the iron wrist. Once the trigger was triggered, ten needles would be fired at the same time, which could take at least one life immediately. With the martial maids alone, it would be no problem to deal with these palace guards of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Jiang Lina learned her lesson. This time, she gave orders to Yang Neichen first and actually escaped from the Baoguang Hall first.

Liang Hui didn't see the "chief" and was a little confused for a moment. He couldn't just draw his sword and kill people without saying a word, but there was so much chaos among the other group of people that it was hard to tell who was leading them and who he should argue with.

The showdown between seventy people fell into an eerie silence.

Jiang Lina, who was outside the palace gate, also pricked up her ears at this moment.

Why is there no movement yet?

Even if Xuan and Wang were determined to hide their heads, after waiting for so long, shouldn't the guards charge into the inner palace without her giving orders? Jiang Lina forgot that she had led her men in a threatening manner, but she did not designate a commander-in-chief. When Queen Mother Yao first proposed to form an inner guard, Jiang Tai agreed, but he did not have the time to care about how Queen Mother Yao selected and managed the guards. This led to Queen Mother Yao, who knew nothing about military affairs, not appointing a team leader at all. It can be said that this was the first time she had actually used this team of guards since she had them.

Jiang Lina finally became impatient and went into Baoguang Hall to see what was going on.

Therefore, Si Shui, who stood high and saw far, finally saw the face of His Highness the Great.

Aren't the Qiang people said to be good at riding and shooting? Why does this woman look a little swollen? Her face, tsk tsk, looks like a patient, her cheeks are white, but she has dark circles under her eyes, and there is fat on her chin. She is wearing a close-fitting Hu clothing with a lapel, and her belly is bulging - is she pregnant?

In fact, Jiang Lina didn't originally have such a "physique". The reason why she became like this was all due to the "efficacy" of Xiang Baiyao. She slept too much, which caused her appetite to increase, so she became swollen.

Jiang Lina saw that the situation had become a "two-army confrontation". She wanted to stand in front and issue orders with great power, but she was afraid of becoming a hostage again and causing the plan to fail. So she could only shrink back and shout orders: "Xuan and Wang dare not come out to die. Soldiers, listen to my orders, capture these two evildoers, and anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

Liang Hui stood low and not far away, and did not see Jiang Lina's figure at all, but he finally heard the roar and almost laughed out loud.

The soldiers were ordered to obey. How could a general be found among a mere fifty rabble? However, at least they could let go and fight.

Seeing that the other party had drawn his weapon, Liang Hui also immediately drew his sword, but before he could make a move, someone got there first.

Sikong Yuehu didn't even draw his sword. He leaped into the "enemy army" and snatched the long sword of a palace guard in a few moves. He then slashed the man's head to the ground.

One of the palace guards who was hit by a human head even screamed out in shock and stood there in a daze.

So his head fell to the ground.

Not all of Empress Dowager Yao's personal soldiers were cowards. When some of them saw that the situation was not good, they rushed forward to besiege Sikong Yuehu. There was a flash of swords and blood splattered in the sword light. Suddenly, a man stood up from the sword light and blood shadow, and after a few leaps, the unlucky Highness *** became a hostage again.

This time, Si Shui, who was standing high and seeing far, could even see clearly the half-gap tooth of His Highness the ***.

Although she didn’t get to see the spectacular scene of the simultaneous firing of the Xiaoyao needles, Sishui didn’t feel any regret at all. She only then realized that the envoy guard who defeated fifty enemy “soldiers” by himself and easily captured the *** was the personal guard that Deputy Envoy Zuo trusted very much. She couldn’t help but high-five him - no wonder Deputy Envoy Zuo treated him differently, what kind of skill, what kind of godly skill, our Dayu soldiers are really great!!!

Sikong Yuehu didn't have such high martial arts to take the head of a general in a huge army. However, the enemy was too cowardly and had no plan, so Sikong Yuehu didn't dance with joy. He held his sword in his hand, without any mercy, and said coldly, "Stop it, or you will be the third head to fall to the ground."

Liang Hui returned his sword, which had not tasted any blood, to its scabbard in dismay, but he could not blame Xin Sujun for stealing his limelight, so he showed off his power to the fifty - now there were no fifty, but forty-eight "soldiers": "What are you standing there for? Get out, or are you going to collect the corpses for the ***?"

Even though Jiang Lina was furious, she did not dare to say any harsh words at this time. She told the forty-eight "soldiers" not to care about her head and to fight the enemy. She watched the "soldiers" retreat from the Baoguang Hall in disgrace, leaving only two corpses and heads, and herself, who was still alive with a knife on her neck.

It was not until then that Jiang Lina noticed that outside the tall hall, there stood a "little witch" who was extremely excited, laughing and showing two rows of dazzlingly white and neat teeth.
