The Child Emperor

Chapter 59 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Everyone in the room was stunned by the sudden appearance of a long bamboo pole, Zuo Ji fell to the ground, and several swordsmen swiped left and right with their knives, like clumsy old cows chasing away mosquitoes and flies, step by step helplessly. Backing away, only one person was extremely angry and rushed forward bravely.

Luo Huanzhang was really furious. He was carrying out the greatest adventure in his life. Even in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, he dared to express his feelings. He didn't need to hide his anger behind the words of benevolence and righteousness. But these eunuchs and court ladies are always bad things. They should just stay out of it quietly like everyone else.

Luo Huanzhang jumped up, of course not facing the bamboo poles, but fell to the ground, throwing the demeanor of a famous Confucian into the sky, crawling forward with hands and feet, the speed was unexpectedly fast, and he was under the window immediately, but The speed was too fast, and the momentum was too late. He hit the wall all of a sudden, and he didn't forget to reach out and grab when he fell on his back.

He grabbed a piece of the ankle.

Han Ruzi's upper body had already turned out of the window, several hands were helping him, but one foot could not be retracted no matter what.An eunuch leaned on the window sill, poked down with a short stick in his hand, and said loudly, "Strength!"

Luo Huanzhang was hit on the head and face a few times, raised his other hand to protect his face, and rushed forward as if waiting for everyone to shout: "Come and help, we must not..."

Bu Hengru waited for someone to hold a knife in his hand, but he didn't know what to do. He didn't react until he heard the yell, and immediately two people rushed towards the window.

At this moment, Luo Huanzhang was hit hard on the forehead, the pain was unbearable, and he had to let go.

The emperor was snatched away.

The Queen Mother, Wang Meiren and Donghai King were stunned. The three of them were all scheming, but facing such a scene, they were no different from ordinary people. They sat there in a daze, completely at a loss.

There was a lot of noise outside, Luo Huanzhang sat on the ground, covered his forehead, and said sharply: "Go and snatch the emperor back, one less will ruin our plan, we must not let the emperor leave the inner palace!"

Bu Hengru and others also understood this truth. Three people jumped out of the window, four people walked through the door, and rushed out with their knives, but there were too few of them. The torrential rain was thrown over, forcing the seven people to retreat back into the house, leaning their backs against the wall to avoid the attack.

Since the completion of Cishun Palace, it has never been so dirty and messy.

The couch was diagonally opposite the door, and was not attacked. Wang Meiren still protected the queen mother, and at the same time looked out, trying to see her son, but in the end she could only see a few strangers.

The king of the East China Sea sat a little further in, without any danger, but he was the most surprised, "Oh my god, he, he doesn't even want his mother?"

This sentence reminded Wang Meiren that she no longer cared about being reserved and hiding, and shouted loudly: "Young son, run! Go find the ministers outside! Leave me alone, they..."

Bu Heng ran towards him like raising a knife, and said angrily, "Shut up!"

Wang Meiren lowered her voice, but did not shut up, and continued: "They dare not kill the Queen Mother and me."

"That's not necessarily true." Bu Hengru put the knife on Wang Meiren's neck, and she stopped talking.

Luo Huanzhang sat under the window and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the gates of the inner palace have been sealed, you can't escape, please come back, we didn't intend to kill the king! Could it be that His Majesty really ignored..."

Zuo Ji, who had been lying at the door since the beginning of the battle, looked out and said, "There is no one left."

Luo Huanzhang stood up, with bruises on his forehead, and looked out the window. As expected, the courtyard was empty, leaving only sticks and stones on the ground. He was so angry that he punched the window sill, "He really He doesn't care about his own mother!"

Luo Huanzhang turned around, his face livid, this was a well-planned palace change, but it became more and more like a farce, "Bu Hengru, you take someone to notify the three gates of the inner palace, be sure to guard them closely, and never let the emperor escape. Go out and meet the ministers. Zuo Ji, you go to Qinzheng Hall immediately, and bring some people back, as long as you are your own, not the guards in the palace, and you must not arouse suspicion from the outside, understand?"

Zuo Ji helped the door to stand up, and looked out again, "I have to send someone to protect me."

Luo Huanzhang pointed to a swordsman, "You and Zuo Ji go out of the palace."

The group of eunuchs and maids seemed crazy, Zuo Ji felt that there were too few bodyguards, but after glancing at the queen mother, he knew in his heart that the current situation was inevitable, so he gritted his teeth and took the swordsman out.

Bu Hengru was more courageous and was about to go out when Luo Huanzhang called him, "Wait." He took a few breaths, "It's nothing, you go, go back quickly, the emperor has been lost, and the queen mother and Donghai cannot be lost anymore King."

Bu Hengru nodded, and left in a hurry with a swordsman.

Luo Huanzhang rubbed the lump on his forehead, turned around, and walked in front of the Empress Dowager, "Unexpectedly, the palace is also a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He must be an extraordinary person to organize a group of eunuchs and court ladies in a hurry. "

The Empress Dowager was expressionless, "Since it's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, why bother to ask me? Da Chu is in the midst of employing people, and I'm only worried about the lack of a way to recommend him. How could he hide 'Dragon and Tiger'?"

Luo Huanzhang didn't ask any more questions, and stepped aside to meditate.

Han Ruzi who escaped also had similar doubts. He was held up by several hands, and he wanted to go back to save his mother, but he couldn't help himself. When he was surrounded by the Chuhuamen, he heard his mother's cry, and ran out with everyone. .Under the porch of the front yard, I saw a man sitting on the ground with blood on his face. He must be one of the swordsmen brought by Bu Hengru. It's just for show.

There was no one left outside Cishun Palace, and after running for a while, Han Ruzi was finally able to observe the rescuers around him.

There were about 20 eunuchs and more than [-] court ladies, most of them were unfamiliar faces, and only a few of them were the attendants of the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The people he knew best were Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e, who were by his side at the moment. But they were not the leaders, a fat eunuch ran in front, his age could not be seen from his back, holding a long bamboo pole in one hand, and tied a short knife that he had taken away from the pole.

Among the group of people, only four or five held weapons, and the others held either bamboo poles or wooden sticks.

Not long after, the group ran back to the Empress Dowager's Compassion Palace, and closed the gate after entering.

Under the porch of the Compassionate Ning Palace, two swordsmen were tied up with cloth strips stuffed into their mouths. When they saw the crowd coming in, they screamed in horror. Zhang Youcai went up and kicked each of them.

The crowd finally calmed down a little bit, everyone's faces were still red, and their eyes were flickering. This was an expression of excitement that Han Ruzi had never seen in the palace for several months.

"Your Majesty, slaves." The fat eunuch said, and everyone knelt down.

Han Ruzi hurriedly said: "Everyone, get up quickly, there is no need to be strict in this emergency, I... thank you very much."

Everyone got up, and the excited expressions on their faces still persisted. Han Ruzi took a closer look at the fat eunuch. He looked about 40 years old.

"You..." Han Ruzi didn't know where to start asking.

The fat eunuch didn't open his mouth, Zhang Youcai rushed to speak, he was so excited, his voice was sharper than usual, "At first there were four guards here, but after two left, everyone built a ladder in the backyard, I am the youngest, take me Send it out, I went to find Brother Cai, the cleaning room, Brother Cai said that we can’t wait any longer, he happened to have a bunch of brooms there, we took them apart as weapons, Brother Cai also said that the Palace of Compassion and Ning is too close to the Palace of Compassion and Shun, so we must clean it up first. If you win it, you can go to Cishun Palace to save His Majesty..."

Zhang Youcai's words were a little messy, but the general meaning was still clear, "Brother Cai" and a dozen other eunuchs, armed with bamboo poles, first went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to knock on the door. Enter, knock down the two, and tie them up.

Dozens of eunuchs and maids in the Palace of Mercy Ning were terrified. Only Tong Qing'e and a few of them dared to leave the palace. When Zhang Youcai was telling the story, they looked around and found that the emperor had really been rescued, so a group of them ran over.

After capturing the Palace of Compassion and Peace, they recruited some helpers from other places to rescue him at the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Han Ruzi said to the fat eunuch, "This is Brother Cai, right?"

The fat eunuch hurriedly knelt down, "Cai Xinghai, a lowly slave, was called 'big brother' by his colleagues just because he was older. How dare he use this address in front of His Majesty, please just call him by his name."

"Okay, Cai Xinghai is free." Han Ruzi felt that this person must have a background, so he didn't have time to ask more questions. He glanced at the crowd and recognized a few familiar faces, "You are from Qiuxin Palace."

Those people nodded repeatedly, and a maid said: "Qiu Xin Palace is also guarded by two thieves, Cai Xinghai led people to break through the palace gate, the queen ordered us to follow Cai Xinghai to rescue her, she also wanted to come, we persuaded her to come down."

At the beginning of marrying a queen, Han Ruzi was extremely reluctant, but now he feels more and more that it is very good to have such a queen.

He was also a little over-excited, and had to tell himself to calm down. He was not completely out of danger, so he thought for a while and said, "We must find a way to leave the inner palace. Can we break through the door?"

Zhang Youcai couldn't answer this question, Cai Xinghai said: "I sent people to check, and there are 30 people guarding each of the south, north and west gates. If there are more, the chances of winning are not great, and it will put His Majesty in danger."

"What do you think should be done?" Han Ruzi had to choose to trust Cai Xinghai at this time.

"In my humble opinion, it is better to jump over the wall. The south, north, and west are all palaces. It is not easy to go out, and you may be discovered by rebels. There is a section of wall on the east side that should be unguarded. After jumping over it, you can go to the Taimiao. Go south, take a detour, and not far away is the Palace of Qinzheng, where His Majesty can meet with the officials, or leave the palace to make a decision."

"I'm going to see the ministers, they don't know what happened in the palace yet, I have to explain to them personally."

"Then let's go!" Zhang Youcai turned around and was about to run, Cai Xinghai was more cautious, "Wait a minute, someone needs to go ahead and check the situation..."

"I'll go." Zhang Youcai ran out quickly.

Cai Xinghai glanced at the crowd and said to the emperor: "Does Your Majesty need everyone to follow?"

Han Ruzi knew that no matter which side he took, it was a risk. The general doctor had already lost his seal, and it was hard to predict whose order the palace guards would listen to, so he said, "Try not to attract attention during this trip, um... Cai Xinghai, how many people do you choose?" Let me go out of the palace together, and everyone else will go to Qiuxin Palace to protect the queen, try not to fight with the rebels, the queen mother is still in their hands, we must ensure her safety."

He had to say this, if the eunuchs and court ladies attack Cishun Palace again on a whim, his mother Wang Meiren will also be in danger.

Cai Xinghai also had the same idea, he tapped his fingers and selected three eunuchs to go with him, and the others, including those who hadn't dared to go out in the Palace of Compassion Ning before, went to Qiuxin Palace to protect the queen.

A large number of people set off first, and Cai Xinghai pointed to the two captives beside him and said, "These two people should not be kept alive."

Han Ruzi glanced at the two men, seeing fear and begging in their eyes, he hesitated for a moment, thinking of his mother, without any compassion, "Cut."

This is the first time he decides the life and death of others, and next, he will decide his own safety.
