Tiance

After thanking the fruit seller who wanted to deliver oranges, Captain Bai took the carriage and continued to Kaifeng Mansion.When he was walking towards the gate, he suddenly had a warning sign in his heart, swung the spear in his hand, and knocked off a sudden cold arrow.

"Enemy attack! Zhang Long Zhao Hu, speed up and enter the mansion!" He yelled, hooked the spear to the victory hook on the horse, reached out to take off the bow behind his back, and wiped it from the purse around his waist with the other hand. , There was an extra arrow in his hand, he bent his bow and shot it towards the roof of a tea house in front of him.

All this happened so quickly that before the people on the street could react, a black-clothed and masked archer rolled down from the roof of the tea house.

At this time, the carriage was still about ten zhang away from the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. The yamen guard at the gate saw the situation and rushed over to meet him. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also accelerated and rushed over in the carriage.

Within a few breaths, Bai Jincheng had already shot down several archers who were lurking on the surrounding roofs.

Only then did the people exclaim.

"Everyone in the neighborhood, someone is going to assassinate your old lady. In order to avoid accidental injury, please take shelter under the eaves!" Bai Jincheng finished speaking while putting away his bow and arrows, then jumped up from the horse with a spear in his hand, flipped his body a few times in the air, Jumping to the roof next to him, he used the "Ji" move forward, and the whole person flew towards the enemy in front. The golden-red energy burst out from the tip of the gun, and the enemies on the road ahead were shot one by one. Penetrating, rolling down from the roof one after another.

The people fleeing for their lives on the street below suddenly stopped panicking and applauded in unison.

Bai Jincheng didn't bother to complain. They were still in the mood to watch the excitement at this time. Holding the spear in his hand, he swung around and swept away. A circle of golden-red energy burst out from his body, and swept a wave of enemies rushing up off the roof.

At this time, the carriage was about to rush to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, but suddenly a large group of men in black rushed to kill them in the alley next to it.

Seeing that there were not many enemies on the roof, Bai Jincheng immediately jumped down from the roof, whistled, and Niu Niu rushed over with tacit cooperation, just in time for him to land on his back.He tightened the reins in his hand, and made a move of "Soul Breaking Stab". The people on both sides of the street saw the big black horse rushing forward and rushing to the middle of the men in black, with its front hooves raised, stomping on it fiercely. Two men in black fell down.At the same time, their idol, Captain Bai, raised his spear above his head, and the gun suddenly spun in his hand, circles of golden energy flew out in circles "swish", and the men in black around him "hula la "Poured a large area - this is the move with the widest attack range in the Tiance Mansion's Immediate Spear Technique "Youlong Riding Method", fighting all directions!

The people under the eaves on both sides of the street clapped their hands and applauded loudly.

Lieutenant Bai was speechless - why didn't he feel any sense of crisis at all!Is it really okay to love to watch the fun so much!However, seeing that the carriage had rushed into the Kaifeng mansion, and there were government officials rushing over to meet him, he felt relieved.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, the remaining men in black gathered together and retreated, but how could Bai Jincheng let them go?Niuniu has been fighting with him for many years, and she had a tacit understanding, so she rushed over without his urging, kicked down two more, and the remaining three or four were all knocked down by his "Zhan Ba ​​Fang".

It's a long time to say, but in fact, it doesn't even take half a stick of incense from the beginning to the end.Those Kaifeng mansion officials escorted the carriage into Kaifeng mansion and then rushed out again, Wang Chao Mahan ran to Bai Jincheng's horse and saluted with starry eyes: "Bai guard, what else can we do?"

Bai Jincheng pointed to the black-clothed men who fell in disorder on the street: "Tie them all up and hand them over to the adults for interrogation, and then see if any people are injured or the stalls are damaged, and I will compensate you."

As soon as the words were finished, cheers suddenly erupted on the street: "The white guard is mighty! The white guard is too powerful!" The people who watched the excitement swarmed over.They had only heard that he was powerful before, but they hadn't really seen how powerful he was. Now that they saw him, they became even more fanciful.

Bai Jincheng was startled, and patted Niuniu on the neck: "Niuniu, let's go! If you don't leave, your tail will be pulled off!"

Niu Niu was frightened half to death, and rushed towards the gate of Kaifeng mansion desperately, and finally rushed into the gate before the people completely surrounded the father and daughter, ran to the back of the screen wall, and then ran into Mr. Gongsun head-on.

Bai Jincheng quickly jumped off his horse, "Sir, how is the old lady?"

"The old lady is fine, she has gone to the backyard," Gongsun Ce stared at him back and forth, his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to dissect him, and his hair stood on end.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like this?" Lieutenant Bai instinctively sensed the danger and took a step back.

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly and asked him: "Bai Wei, why does your martial arts shine? What is the principle?"

"Ahem, it's internal force, internal force," Bai Jincheng took another step back, and said cautiously, "That's the effect of internal force released outward! I'll report the situation to the adults first, and see you, sir!" Then he ran away with Niu Niu.Mr. Gongsun's research obsession is really scary sometimes...

After bringing Niu Niu back to the stable, and feeding him two handfuls of horse grass, Captain Bai could finally go to Mr. Bao.Along the way, under the star-eyed offensive of the little maids, he finally found Master Bao who was talking to the old lady in the inner hall, accompanied by Mrs. Bao, and he even saw Zhao Zhen!

As soon as Zhao Zhen saw him, he greeted him happily: "Hanzhang, I heard that you just killed all the assassins by yourself outside, it really is very powerful."

Bai Jincheng waved his hand, "It's nothing, they are all small characters, the old lady is not surprised, is she?"

The old lady smiled and shook her head: "No, no, thanks to Bai Qing's family's strong martial arts."

Zhao Zhen took the old lady's hand and sighed: "Emperor, you can't call him Baiqing's family, Hanzhang is not my subject yet, alas, I have invited him several times, but he is not willing." , and said he was going to be a ranger in the rivers and lakes."

What are you pretending to be pitiful...

Captain Bai glanced at him with contempt, and reported to Lord Bao: "My lord, I've kept my hand. Those assassins didn't die, and Chao Mahan has already tied them up and brought them back."

Master Bao nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the interrogation right away."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "I'll go and listen too, Empress, you talk to Mrs. Bao first, and I'll come to accompany you later."

The old lady waved her hand: "Go, it's important."

Bai Jincheng also quickly resigned, and when he reached the door, he was about to go back to his room, when his sleeves tightened suddenly, and when he looked down, he was actually grabbed by Zhao Zhen.

"Let's listen together?" Zhao Zhen looked at him with a smile, "By the way, tell me how you managed to kill so many assassins by yourself."

Bai Jincheng had no choice but to say, "Why are you so gossip?" But he still followed him, briefly talking about how he found the assassin and what doubts there were.

"There was no one following us on the way back and forth. No one did anything until we got near the mansion. Why did they choose to assassinate near the mansion? And I will pick up the old lady today. My lord secretly ordered me yesterday, and only I know When Zhang Long and Zhao Hu went out of town with me this morning, they thought they were going to pick up Lord Bao’s mother.” These were the two things he found most strange. “How did those people get the news?”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and said: "Bao Qing told me that you went out very early this morning, maybe no one noticed, it should be until you entered the city that they didn't find out that you came back from outside the city, right? There should be people watching at the gate of the city all the time, because it is impossible for the emperor to live outside all the time. They couldn't find her, so they had to watch the actions of the people in Kaifeng Mansion or the Eighth Prince's Mansion and my cronies. They need to mobilize manpower, so they should have just caught up with the last resort when they went near the mansion, if they don't assassinate the emperor before she enters the mansion, they will have no chance."

Bai Jincheng thought it made sense, but he was still puzzled by one thing: "Why did they assassinate the old lady? If she is your empress, who is the queen mother in the palace?"

Zhao Zhen's mood suddenly dropped, and he whispered: "I'll tell you later."

Before the three of them reached the lobby, Chao Mahan came to report in a hurry: "My lord, those assassins bit their tongues and killed themselves!"

The three frowned in unison, Master Bao asked, "Did Mr. Gongsun go for an autopsy?"

Chao Chao nodded: "Sir is in the morgue now."

Master Bao turned his head and said to Zhao Zhen: "Officials, don't go to the morgue. There is foul air there. I should go and have a look. Guard Bai, please stay and protect the officials."

Zhao Zhen let him go, then stretched out his hand and tugged at Bai Jincheng's sleeve, and asked him, "Is there a quieter place? I want to talk to you about something."

"You're a child, why are you always pulling my sleeves?" Captain Bai looked at him contemptuously, "Go to my room."

In his room, Zhao Zhen sat down and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he asked: "You said that if the person who raised you turned out to be the murderer of the person who gave birth to you, what would you do?"

Bai Jincheng frowned: "You mean the queen mother?"

"Well... I only found out about it a while ago. Before I knew about it, I always thought that I was the son of the Eighth Prince Uncle. The previous emperor had no sons so he adopted me as a prince..." Zhao Zhen said disappointedly, " I grew up in the uncle's mansion. I entered the palace after I was ten years old. When the first emperor died at the age of 13, I ascended the throne. The queen mother has always been very kind to me. When I was not in charge, she was always there. Support me and teach me. But a while ago, Bao Qing went to give relief, but met the emperor's mother, and I knew that I was the biological son of the late emperor..."

This story is really strange to tell.At that time, the first emperor had no heirs for a long time. Later, there were two concubines Liu and Li in the palace who were both pregnant. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first emperor held a banquet. Concubine Li", and said: "If any of the second concubines gives birth to a prince, they will be established as the main palace."

Concubine Liu has long been secretly jealous of Concubine Li. After hearing what the former emperor said, she was afraid that Mr. Concubine Li would give birth to the crown prince, so she joined forces with her confidant eunuch Guo Huai to make a poisonous plan to collude with the stable wife when Concubine Li gave birth. Pi's civet cat replaced the prince and slandered Concubine Li for giving birth to a monster.

Later, Concubine Li gave birth before Concubine Liu, and she also gave birth to the prince. Po Wen used a skinned civet cat to replace the prince, and handed it to Concubine Liu's confidant Kou Zhu to take away and kill him.But although Kou Zhu is Concubine Liu's confidant, he is upright and loyal, and cannot bear to kill the prince, so he quietly handed the prince over to the chief eunuch Chen Lin.

When Zhao Zhen said this, Bai Jincheng already understood, "The prince is you?"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Chen Banban smuggled me to Nanqing Palace and handed it over to Uncle Eighth Wang. Uncle Eighth Wang originally planned to enter the palace to report to the emperor, but he was a step too late. Too...Concubine Liu has already reported to the emperor, saying that the emperor's mother I gave birth to an evildoer. The father was furious, and immediately put the emperor's mother into the cold palace, and named Concubine Liu as a noble concubine."

Bai Jincheng was speechless, how stupid was that former emperor to believe that a human could give birth to a skinned civet cat!
