Chapter 77 If you are too late, you are doomed to lose

Lu Cang controls half of the court, and the Minister of War is all the people he can command. If he adds a eunuch with the palm seal next to the emperor.

If he wanted to rebel, it would be easy for him.

But there are always exceptions in this world, such as those who predict that he will rebel, or all other aristocratic families who unite to accompany him in this game.

It was impossible for Xiao Li to come forward again. She handed all the information to the Fang family and asked the Fang family's father and son to be the middlemen.

Wealth is sought in danger. She handed over the ladder. It was up to them whether they could seize the opportunity.

Seeing the princess mansion being engulfed in flames from a distance, Xiao Li left with a smile.

Everything in the world requires a first opportunity. If you are one step late, you are doomed to lose.

The Lu family was even a step too late to kill her, so they still wanted to win against her?

In the house less than fifty meters away from Changchun Tower, you can see the house at the end. It has two rooms and a main room. The woodshed and kitchen are built in the corner. It looks like a very ordinary ordinary people's house.

Someone knocked the signal, and someone immediately opened the door. It was a slender girl. She looked up at the person who came, hesitated to speak, and finally bowed to welcome her in.

A pair of eyes poked out from inside, looking at the stranger who came here with surprise and curiosity.

The door was closed and two lights were lit inside the house.

The room, barely large enough for a table, was crowded with seventeen children and one baby.

Looking at the child who was still eating his fingers, the visitor frowned, but said nothing. He took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to the oldest girl.

"This is the list of all guests in Changchun Tower."

"My master asked me to tell you that killing the Gao family is the limit. You have to avenge the rest by yourself."

He took out another bag: "The things you took from Changchun Tower cannot be exchanged for money now. There are eighteen pieces of silver in it, including banknotes and broken silver. Each bag is one hundred taels. After you take it, you know Those who live in their own homes can go back directly, and those who want to leave can leave. If you have nowhere to go, the title deed of this house is also here, and you can always live here. ”

After he finished speaking, the girl who opened the door mustered up the courage to ask: "Can we know the name of our benefactor?"

Everyone's eyes flicked to that person.

She explained eagerly: "We just want to know who saved us, and we will definitely repay our benefactor for his kindness if we have the opportunity in the future."

The man looked at the children in the room, the oldest one was the fifteen-year-old girl in front of him, and the rest were all twelve or thirteen years old, but at the age when they should have been innocent, their eyes were numb and dull, but in When they talked about their benefactor, their eyes suddenly flashed with expectation.

He also felt uncomfortable thinking about what happened to them.

"No, the master does not need your repayment, but."

He looked at the oldest child, his eyes were burning with only a little light left, and he couldn't bear to see them go out.

"My master is a very powerful woman. She appreciates people who are strong and determined. Her name has Chaoyang in it. Live well. Maybe one day, she will be willing to appear in front of you."

"Then" the girl asked anxiously: "Will our benefactor dislike us?"

He sighed softly: "In my heart, she will not dislike you. On the contrary, she pities you very much. But as for the answer, one day you can walk up to her and ask her."

"Okay, it's time for me to leave. See you later."

Everyone watched him leave and couldn't bear to look away until the door closed.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

An impatient voice came from upstairs. Yang Jun pulled down his cloak and looked up at Xiao Li, who was sitting on the edge of the railing drinking.

She was hanging from the railing with a wine bottle in one hand, and her sleeves were pulled up, revealing a section of her snow-white arms, which were very eye-catching even in the night.

"The children were making trouble to meet the princess, and my subordinates coaxed them a little."

Xiao Li lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Can you still coax children?"

Yang Jun is not as tall and strong as Rong Qing, but he is not much thinner as a martial arts practitioner. On weekdays, he looks docile in front of Xiao Li. At other times, he is unsmiling, as if someone owes him money and refuses to pay him back. . I really can’t imagine what it’s like for such a person to coax a child.

Yang Jun went upstairs before replying: "They are watching eagerly, and the subordinates can't really turn around and leave."

Xiao Li didn't ask any more questions, but asked Hongyue to warm a glass of wine for Yang Jun.

The north wind is blowing tonight and it's extremely cold.

"Thank you princess for the reward."

Yang Jun took the wine and drank it. This glass of hot wine warmed up his body and mind. Maybe he had just finished watching the group of children, so he couldn't help but talk more.

"In fact, the princess can go and meet them. Those children are very grateful to you. If they are trained a little, they will definitely be of use to the princess. The big families choose children like them to train their dead soldiers."

Xiao Li rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Talk too much."

Yang Jun didn't care if he was scolded. After what happened this time, he finally discovered that his master was hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

He glanced at Xiao Li and then at the night sky. It was not peaceful tonight. Rong Qing was sent to the Army and Horse Department. He had to be very alert and must protect the princess.

At three o'clock in the Yin hour, an arrow flew into the sky, brilliant and dazzling. This was the signal for the battle to begin.

It's not that the Lu family just prepared to seize power, but that the Lu family found that it was useless to take action quietly, such as when the emperor became seriously ill, died suddenly, and then left a legacy to pass on the throne to King Chen.

Civil servants are always more elegant in their methods. They don't like to wield swords and guns. If they want to steal your things, they have to save their face first.

But they found that they couldn't kill the emperor, and the conspiracy had been exposed, so they had no choice but to show off their knives.

Xiao Li's carriage slowly arrived at the palace gate. There were no guards at the Nuo Da Palace Gate at this moment, and the carriage drove straight in.

At this moment, there was heavy frost and dew, and the night was dark, but the entire palace was brightly lit, and under the moonlight, it looked like day.

There was not much blood on the ground, which proved that the fighting tonight was not very brutal.

However, as we walked further in, it became clear that more people were dead, and all the remaining soldiers gathered inside the second gate, dividing the two sides and temporarily truceing.

Xiao Li did not step forward, but climbed to a higher palace wall, leaning against the pillars and looking down.

There were a lot of people in the palace tonight, except for the soldiers, almost all civil and military personnel from the court came.

Seventy percent of the people stood aside to guard the emperor, while thirty percent followed Lu Cang. In front of them was King Chen in armor.

As the two sides faced off, it was obvious that there were fewer people on Lu Cang's side, but their momentum remained unabated, especially those generals in armor, who looked like they had countless lives on their hands. They were fierce and imposing.

Looking at it this way, the people behind the emperor all seemed like a mob.

The Lu family and King Chen are worthy of being the protagonists of a successful rebellion in the future. Although the time has been advanced and the number of people is smaller, looking at the situation, they may still succeed tonight.

Xiao Li was worried about Jamel Xiao, so he took a look, and now it proved that it was indeed necessary.

She placed the box she had been carrying on the ground, opened it, and quickly assembled a few parts using the faint light.

The entire assembly was completed, and it turned out to be a bolt-action sniper rifle. This was the most perfect work she could create in a short period of time.

Load the bullets and then the scope.

The glass lenses were polished and polished, but after all they were not standard lenses, there were deviations, and they were not that clear.

However, she has practiced for more than a dozen rounds, and she can probably master the deviation.

The barrel of the gun was placed on the wall pier and aimed at Lu Cang's head.

I really want to hit the head with one shot, but the accurate headshot doesn't allow it, so I can only settle for the next best thing.

Aim at the empty spot a little to the left of your heart and pull the trigger without hesitation.
