The Child Emperor

Chapter 62 The Palace Gate

The visitor was not friendly, Cai Xinghai pushed Zhang Youcai away, prepared to fight, and asked: "Who is your master, if you dare to stop him, please report your name."

The figure waited for a while, "Gui Yuehua, the coach of Huafu."

Cai Xinghai's heart sank. He had heard of this name before. This person was not an ordinary Jianghu swordsman, but a well-known master.

"Ghost Hand Gui Yuehua." Cai Xinghai sighed, "Your Excellency is a well-known chivalrous man, why did you commit treason and regicide?"

"Someone is willing to be a foolish king's minion, so naturally there will be someone who will do justice for the heavens. Your Excellency is not like an ordinary eunuch, why bother to sacrifice your life for a foolish king?"

"Your Majesty is not a fool." Zhang Youcai argued loudly.

Under the moonlight, Han Ruzi saw the general appearance of Gui Yuehua. He was a middle-aged man in his 30s, with a medium build, pale complexion, and a thin beard. He looked more like a down-and-out prince than a martial artist. He is not worthy of the title of "Ghost Hand".

Gui Yuehua took a step forward, "Where are His Majesty's bodyguards? How long will they be hiding in the dark?"

Holding the hilt of the sword, Han Ruzi asked, "Marquis Junyang sent you here?"

"Your Majesty asked the question knowingly. Please, Your Majesty, follow me back to the palace, otherwise - the order I received is not to take away the living emperor, but the dead emperor is fine."

"Is the Marquis of Junyang loyal to the Cui family or Chunyu Xiao?"

Gui Yuehua took another step, "It doesn't matter."

"It's very important. Chunyu Xiao used the Cui family and will soon betray the Cui family. If Marquis Junyang..."

Gui Yuehua smiled, "Your Majesty is not trying to persuade me to be ungrateful and betray the Lord?"

With the last word out, Gui Yuehua's figure flickered and rushed towards the emperor.

Cai Xinghai swung his knife to stop him, but just as he moved the short knife, his chest was hit by a fist. With a loud cry, his fat body flew backwards.

Zhang Youcai was shocked, but he didn't have time to join the battle.

Gui Yuehua flew Cai Xinghai with a fist, without slowing down at all. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the emperor, reached out and grabbed the palm holding the sword, looked up at the sword to the moon, and praised: "It is indeed a precious sword in the palace."

Han Ruzi didn't even have a chance to move, annoyed in his heart, he said sharply, "Let go of me."

"I've offended you, Your Majesty." Gui Yuehua stretched her waist, carried the emperor across her shoulders, grabbed the leg with one hand, and still held the hand holding the sword with the other, and strode towards the inner palace.

Zhang Youcai came to his senses, yelled "Let go, Your Majesty", he lowered his head and rushed over. After running seven or eight steps, he didn't hit anything. He stopped and looked, and was surprised to find that Gui Yuehua was already more than ten steps away. It's getting farther and farther away.

"Come and save you! Whether you are a human or a ghost, come and save you, it will be a little later..." Zhang Youcai didn't dare to continue.

Han Ruzi, who was carried on his shoulders, was ashamed and angry. He struggled hard, but felt numb all over his body. I used the method of reverse breathing, but it didn't have much effect.

"Huh?" Gui Yuehua was slightly taken aback, but the emperor was still under his control, so he didn't care too much.

Gui Yuehua quickly walked to the intersection. If he was alone, he would have jumped onto the palace wall and carried the emperor on his shoulders. He didn't dare to be careless, so he turned north to join the swordsman who came to meet him.

The sneak attack came quietly.

Gui Yuehua had been prepared for a long time. The reason why he came to capture the emperor alone was to lure out the secret master.In the narration of the surviving swordsman, there were as many as dozens of people in ambush, but Gui Yuehua was an old Jianghu. At that time, he guessed that there was only one person on the other side. It will also be wiped out.

Gui Yuehua is not only a "ghost hand", but also a "ghost foot". One moment he was striding forward, and the next moment he kicked back the hidden weapon that flew in. At the same time, he put the emperor down, The whole person rushed to the dark corner of the wall.

Han Ruzi still felt the numbness all over his body, he wobbled around before he finally got a firm foothold, looked at the corner of the wall, and after a while, he saw two blurred figures fighting, the speed was extremely fast, and the voice was It was so small that it was almost inaudible amidst the whistling wind.

"Ah..." Someone yelled, and the two figures disappeared, and the fight lasted only five or six rounds.

Han Ruzi didn't know why, so he looked left and right, and saw a figure in the north, but couldn't find the other one.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Youcai caught up panting, not knowing what happened, and asked in surprise, "Where's Gui Yuehua?"

"He... seems to be hurt."

"How could it be?" Zhang Youcai was even more surprised, and lowered his voice and said, "Is it that... ghost save you again?"

"Don't worry about him, go and see Cai Xinghai." Han Ruzi became more and more convinced that Meng E was the one who helped him in the dark, but he didn't understand why she didn't show up.

The two turned around and ran back. Han Ruzi still felt numb at first, but after running a dozen steps, his body returned to normal.

Cai Xinghai was strong and strong, he vomited a mouthful of blood, but he didn't die, he was limping towards the emperor, he was about to kneel down to apologize as soon as he met, Han Ruzi supported him, "Get out of here quickly."

Zhang Youcai held Cai Xinghai's other arm, and the three of them walked eastward. Cai Xinghai tried to persuade the emperor to abandon him several times, but the emperor just urged him to leave quickly.

There are more and more forked roads. Cai Xinghai only knows the general location of the Taimiao, but does not know the specific path. In order to avoid the pursuers, he makes frequent turns and becomes more and more anxious.

When they didn't know how many turns to turn, the three of them bumped into a group of guards patrolling the city head-on.

There was a lot of chaos in the inner palace, but the surface remained calm outside, all the rules had not changed, and the inspections should still be inspected. Han Ruzi met such a team.

The emperor and others were astonished, but the other party was astonished. Even in the daytime, there were few people in this area. It was unimaginable that three large living people suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

"Who?" One person shouted, and a dozen soldiers scattered and pointed their spears at the "palace intruder".

Cai Xinghai was very happy, as long as it wasn't those swordsmen, things would be much easier, and immediately said: "Put down your weapons, we are people in the palace."

Cai Xinghai was quite calm, and didn't say the word "emperor" immediately.

The soldiers were puzzled. Although they didn't withdraw their weapons, they didn't attack immediately.

"Who are you? Why did the people in the palace come outside? Don't you know about the night curfew?" said the leading officer.

"Don't ask so many questions, take us to see the supervisor on duty immediately." Cai Xinghai said sternly.

The soldiers became more and more uncertain. Although it was dark, they could still recognize the clothes of the two eunuchs, but they couldn't see the clothes of the other one clearly. Since the fat eunuch was supporting him, he must be the young eunuch in the palace.

The officer turned to a soldier and said, "Light up the lamp."

The palace guards usually don't light the lights when they patrol, but they all carry lanterns and flints, which can be lit at any time.

"Don't do it!" Cai Xinghai shouted, not wanting a group of ordinary soldiers to recognize the emperor.

The identity of the eunuch and his condescending tone calmed down the soldiers on the opposite side. The officer raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to light the lamp for now, "Okay, come with me to see the new General Zhonglang."

Han Ruzi was startled when he heard the words, "Is it Junyang Hou Huabin?"

"You are so bold, you dare to call the adults by their first names, you, who are you?" The officer's confidence gradually faded, and he became more and more uncertain about the origins of these three people.

Cai Xinghai was also surprised. Gui Yuehua from Huafu had just kidnapped the emperor, and going to see Marquis Junyang would be like throwing himself into a trap, "Who is the lieutenant on duty? Take us to see him first."

"Gongmen Lang Liu Kunsheng, Master Liu is not far from here, why don't you go see him first?" The officer even softened his tone, anyway, he is not qualified to go directly to see General Zhonglang, so it is better to send these three people to Gongmen Lang .

"Okay." Han Ruzi agreed. There were only a few ministers who participated in the rebellion plan of the empress dowager and others. As long as you saw a loyal minister, things would be much easier.

The soldiers turned around, guarded the three "eunuchs" in the middle, and took them to see their superiors. Cai Xinghai heaved a sigh of relief, and Zhang Youcai frequently went out of the line to wait and see, always afraid that the swordsman would catch up again.

Gong Menlang is not a high-ranking official, but his responsibility is very heavy. A small mistake in the management area is also a felony. Liu Kunsheng has long been restless, thinking that Zhonglang will be replaced during the day. The eunuch couldn't help being shocked, and immediately went out of the house to check.

He saw the unusual boy at a glance.

Ordinary soldiers guarding the palace may never see the emperor and concubines in their entire lives. Liu Kunsheng has seen them a few times during the reigns of Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan, so he does not recognize the current emperor, but he can accurately identify the emperor's clothes in the dark.

"You..." Liu Kunsheng was over 50 years old, and his health was not very good. He was frightened and fell to the ground.

Regardless of the pain in his feet, Cai Xinghai stepped forward a few steps, helped Liu Kunsheng up, and said in a low voice, "Go in and talk."

Liu Kunsheng nodded repeatedly, invited three "eunuchs" into the house, and said sternly to the escorting soldiers: "Stay here, and no one is allowed to leave."

Everyone listened to the order, but they couldn't help whispering, and finally came to the unanimous conclusion: the uninhabited East Palace is haunted again.

There were still a few people in the room on duty, all of whom were kicked out by Liu Kunsheng, and then turned around to observe carefully. After a while, there was no doubt in his heart, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "The humble Liu Kunsheng pays homage to His Majesty."

The room was very simple, with only a bed and a few stools, and an oil lamp was lit on the table. Han Ruzi did not sit down, holding the Taizu sword in both hands, and said to Liu Kunsheng: "I am going out of the palace, can you help?"

Liu Kunsheng raised his head, "This... Your Majesty's leaving the palace is a big deal, and a lowly position and a lowly position can't be the master..."

"Couldn't the emperor be the master?" Han Ruzi was worried, but his face didn't show it, "Marquis Junyang conspired against him, his imperial decree is false, and he is not qualified to be a general of Zhonglang at all."

Liu Kunsheng had a premonition long ago, and was still taken aback when he heard the emperor tell the truth himself. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Who is your majesty going to see when you leave the palace?"

"I want to see the ministers outside." Han Ruzi wanted to find Prime Minister Yin Wuhai, but he didn't say anything.

"An accident happened in the palace?"

"The Empress Dowager was hijacked by traitors, and I will gather all my ministers to rescue her." Han Ruzi knew that many ministers were loyal to the Empress Dowager.

Liu Kunsheng raised his heart and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to go to the ministers outside. Since His Majesty has already left the palace, you can personally remove Junyang Hou Huabin from his official position. Your Majesty, who dares to disobey orders from the inner and outer guards?"

Han Ruzi felt that this was also a solution, and was thinking about it when a soldier announced loudly outside: "General Hua is here!"
