Chapter 52 Bad news...
Chapter 52 Bad news…
Late at night…
Xu Boqing vaguely heard the noise coming from outside. He frowned slightly and wanted to get up and go out to take a look, but he accidentally woke up the beautiful woman in his arms.
Queen Mother Chen asked sleepily: "Where are you going?"
"There is a noise outside. I'll go take a look. You go to sleep first."
"All right…"
Xu Boqing didn't say much. After putting on his clothes, he opened the door and went out. The noise became more and more obvious, and the lights outside the palace were dimly visible, and the shadows of people were looking forward to it.
Seeing two old nuns on duty in front of the palace, he asked casually: "Aunt Li, have you heard anything?"
"Report to Manager Xu."
Grandma Li responded: "I think I heard that there were assassins just now, and all the imperial guards in the palace have been mobilized."
"Is there an assassin?"
Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and instantly thought of what Mr. Huang had said to him a few days ago.
The Dog Emperor stopped his own imperial mausoleum project and diverted money and manpower to build the Immortal Platform and the Dharma Hall in vain.
The advice of the officials was useless, and some ambitious people in the Jianghu threatened to change the world.
In addition to Manager Huang, Commander Song of Jinyiwei and Governor Liu of Dongchang were also transferred to Qianqing Palace for duty.
In the middle of the night, the palace is brightly lit. It is said that there is an assassin. Is it possible that someone from the world really came to the palace to assassinate the Dog Emperor?
Xu Boqing gathered up the hem of his clothes and walked quickly outside the Cining Palace. He saw eunuchs patrolling with lanterns outside the palace, and armored and armed Imperial Guards holding torches guarding the palace.
The leader of the Imperial Guard was also scolding his soldiers in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, I'll scare the nobles in the palace, I can't protect you!!"
After he finished speaking, he saw a young eunuch wearing a flying fish suit walking out of Cining Palace. He looked very familiar. After seeing his face, he tentatively asked: "Eunuch Xu?"
"It's Xu."
Xu Boqing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Commander Shen, you are well."
He would leave the palace every once in a while. Not to mention how good he was with the Imperial Guards on duty, he was at least familiar with them. He had met Commander Shen in front of him several times, so he could recognize him at a glance.
Commander Shen handed the torch in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and he bowed his hand politely and said: "There are assassins in the palace, and I have been ordered to guard the palace under a low-level position. My subordinates are all vulgar warriors, and they have disturbed my father-in-law's dream. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me." "
"Commander Shen's words are serious."
Xu Boqing glanced at the direction of Qianqing Palace. Because it was far away, even using the 'Tianmu Dharma Eye', he could only vaguely see the bright lights of Qianqing Palace. It seemed that there was no change...
He took another look at the changes in luck above the Imperial City. Although the luck was a bit shaky and seemed to be unstable, it did not show any signs of changing the world.
This also proves that the Dog Emperor was slightly injured at most, but not yet dead.
Injured!?
He seemed to have thought of something, and there was a bit of worry on his face...
It's not that I'm worried about the Dog Emperor, but I'm worried about Manager Huang.
After all, the Dog Emperor was in the palace, protected by so many masters and three innate realms, and was still injured. How strong must the assassin be!?
Xu Boqing originally wanted to go to Qianqing Palace to explore the situation, but he thought that Manager Huang had handed over Cining Palace to him. What if he left and the assassins came here again?
"Commander Shen, have you found out the identity of the assassin?"
"this……"
Commander Shen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It is said that there were five people who entered the palace to assassinate His Majesty. As for the identities of these five people and their humble positions, it is not clear."
"Five people!?"
Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows in surprise and felt a little palpitating in his heart, so he asked: "Is His Majesty injured? Has the assassin been caught?"
"I came here under the orders of a humble official, but I don't know much about it."
Commander Shen hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and covered his mouth with his hands and whispered: "But I heard that the five assassins were all great masters in the innate realm, and the Qianqing Palace was reduced to rubble. His Majesty seemed to be frightened as well. "
Hearing that the five assassins were masters of the innate realm, Xu Boqing's heart became more and more uneasy...
At this moment, a middle-aged eunuch ran toward Cining Palace with a panic expression. When he saw Xu Boqing outside the palace, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward and asked: "But Xu Boqing in Cining Palace is in person?"
"Exactly."
The uneasiness in Xu Boqing's heart became stronger and stronger, and he asked: "What do you want to explain to me when my father-in-law comes to me?"
"That's not true."
The middle-aged eunuch didn't look too good, and quickly explained: "Manager Huang is seriously injured and is about to die. I want to see Eunuch Xu by name..."
Xu Boqing's breathing was stagnant, and the beating frequency of his heart seemed to skip a beat. After reacting, he quickly shouted: "Lead the way!"
The middle-aged eunuch also knew the urgency of the matter and quickly led the way. On the way, he roughly recounted what happened in the Qianqing Palace before.
At that time, Manager Huang was on duty at the Qianqing Palace as usual, but unexpectedly found five men in black approaching. After realizing that they were assassins, the two sides immediately fought.
Three of them besieged General Manager Huang, while the other two broke into Qianqing Palace and were intercepted by Commander Song and Governor Liu who came over after hearing the commotion.
They are both in the innate realm. Commander Song of Jinyiwei and Governor Liu of Dongchang are about the same skill as each other, so it is difficult to distinguish them.
Manager Huang knew that the other party was outnumbered, but he still used his own power to forcefully hold back the three of them!
When they noticed that Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Forbidden Army and other powerful officials were coming to support them, those assassins were also unwilling to stay for a long time and forced their way into Qianqing Palace to carry out the assassination.
Manager Huang dragged his seriously injured body to protect him to the death.
With three enemies against five, one side was fighting to the death to protect the enemy, while the other side was hiding their heads and tails, each having their own agenda. Even so, Commander Song of Jin Yiwei and Governor Liu of Dongchang were also injured.
Fortunately, many masters arrived in time, and with the joint efforts of many masters to encircle and suppress them, the five Xiantian Realm assassins did not have any intention of risking their lives, so they could only take advantage of the darkness to break through the encirclement and sneak out of the palace.
Afterwards, Emperor Yonghe suffered some minor injuries, and Commander Song and Governor Liu also suffered injuries, but their lives were not worried.
Manager Huang was already old. He had left some roots of disease in his attempt to kill Cui Feng last time. Now he was fighting one against three, fighting to the death to protect him and was seriously injured. He was already exhausted to the point of running out of gas.
Afterwards, he was carried into the Royal Medical Center for treatment...
Xu Boqing felt chills on his back just by listening to it.
He thought about the time when he was lying helpless in the cleansing room, and even had the idea of committing suicide in his heart, but it was Manager Huang who saved him.
Although Mr. Huang’s purpose of saving himself was not simple, how can there be anything good without a reason in the world?
Putting aside the life-saving grace for the moment, Mr. Huang’s kindness in knowing and helping me and his love for preaching cannot be fake at all!!
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Mr. Huang entered the palace at an early age and had no children or relatives. He even thought about repaying his kindness by helping Mr. Huang take care of him until his death.
Now I heard such bad news!
How can your mind not be shocked!?
After learning the cause of the incident and the location of Mr. Huang, Xu Boqing directly used his power and headed straight to the Imperial Medical Center as fast as flying...
When he arrived at the Imperial Medical Center, he saw someone from the Imperial Guard guarding him. He immediately showed Manager Huang's badge of being the Chief Manager of Cining Palace.
The people in Jinyiwei obviously also got the news and did not stop them. They even sent people to lead the way...
When he saw Mr. Huang, Xu Boqing's heart twitched...
