Chapter 245 Marquis Yongchang is dead
Boohoo!
Several sharp arrows pierced the chest of the man in black from behind with a sad sound of breaking through the air!
Aginai's scalp was numb, and he rolled sideways based on his intuition, and then narrowly avoided the sharp arrow that was flying towards him!
The arrow penetrated deeply into the ground, and its tail feathers quivered slightly.
Aginai looked in the direction of the shooting, and saw that at some point, the entrance to the courtyard was brightly lit and there were many people moving around.
Countless torches are like sparks of fire, trying to burn the entire Hou Mansion.
Under the orange firelight, Akinai clearly saw that the person taking the lead turned out to be Mr. Cui Sanlun Cui!
Behind him stood officials wearing purple robes and green robes, followed closely by Kyoto people wearing civilian clothes.
But without exception, each of their expressions changed from shock to shock, and then turned into raging anger!
The firelight danced in their eyes, and the scarlet color on the ground stimulated their nerves.
At this moment, no one moved.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and the burnt smell of burning torches. Low moans or painful howls came from my ears. In front of me were compatriots who fell to the ground one by one...
At this moment, the smoke of war in "The Legend of the Lonely City" seems to have materialized.
It was different from watching the excitement when catching the spies from the North. The five senses of everyone present were aroused by the tragic scene in front of them. For a moment, they couldn't tell whether they were in the prosperous and stable Kyoto, or whether they were dreaming of returning to an isolated city on the frontier.
"They are the northern Tatars! They want to kill Mrs. Yongchang Hou!"
A shrill cry woke everyone up, as if pressing the start button for this still picture.
“Catch them!”
“Protect Mrs. Yongchenghou!”
“Help, help me quickly!”
The scene was chaotic, and the people in Kyoto raised torches and threw them at the man in black!
The guards who conveyed the order raised their bows and arrows and fired.
Seeing that the situation had reversed, the men in black gathered around Aginai, back to back, forming a protective circle, hoping to break out.
The Yongchang Hou Mansion, which usually seemed a bit empty, was now packed with people.
Seeing that he could not break out of the encirclement, Ajinai decided to turn around and go back to the house, intending to take Gu Nanxi as a hostage.
Gu Nanxi and Lu Mei closed the door and used the tables and chairs in the room to block the door to prevent the men in black from breaking in.
Gu Sanjiu raised his sword and stared at the door without blinking, always ready to strike head-on at the man in black who rushed in!
Bang!
The scimitar hit the wooden door hard, and the wooden door fell apart instantly!
At the critical moment, Gu Sanjiu came up with his sword and fought with the man in black.
Most of the black people were held back by Gu Sanjiu, but Ajinai grabbed a machete and ran towards Gu Nanxi.
His speed was so fast that Gu Nanxi didn't react for a moment. She only felt the cold wind coming from the scimitar hitting her body.
Just when Gu Nanxi felt that her life was in danger, a figure, like a ghost, flashed in, raised a spear, and hit Ajnai on the wrist.
The scimitar fell to the ground!
Gu Nanxi’s heartbeat slowed down a beat. She looked at the person coming and saw that it was Boss Li!
I saw that Boss Li was not as lazy as before. His eyes were dark, as if a storm was brewing, and murderous intent was everywhere around him!
In the yard, the sounds of shouting, beating and killing could be heard all the time.
Gu Nan, Xi still heard Xiao Hei's cry: "Although I am a spy, I will never do anything traitorous. Go to hell, Northern Tatars!"
Gu Nanxi was protected by Boss Li and Gu Sanjiu, and Ajinai knew that her plan had failed!
But at this time, a group of people have been surrounded, and there is no way out.
Aguinai could only try his best to fight his way out.
However, the men in black were outnumbered and soon fell into a disadvantage. When only Akinai was left, Cui Sanlun shouted: "Leave alive!"
These men in black will fight to the death to protect this person, so the identity of this person must be Not ordinary!
After everything settled, the people helped carry the injured to a nearby hospital for treatment.
At this time, various aristocratic families who received the letter also hurriedly sent people to take their families back.
The prince of Duke Ji was found among the flowers by his young wife.
When Mrs. Ji Guogong found him, he was hunched over his knees like a quail, his whole body was shaking like chaff, his body was covered with fallen leaves, and his clothes were stained with blood.
Even though she was deeply disappointed with him, Mrs. Ji Guo still didn’t want to be a widow. She said with a cold face: "The thief has been caught. It’s okay. Come home with me."
The prince of Duke Ji didn't seem to hear the words of the young lady of Duke Ji. He still huddled in a ball and muttered to himself.
Madam Ji Guo Gong frowned and listened closely, only to hear him saying: "Gu Nanxi, I don't dare to go against you anymore! Please spare me! I will set up a portrait of you when I get back and worship you every day." ! ”
The young lady of Jiguo has a black line and hates iron. Bu Chenggang said softly: "What are you talking about? Mrs. Yongchanghou is also a victim. What you said seems to be directed and acted by her!"
As soon as he heard the words Mrs. Yongchanghou, Ji Only then did the prince of the country regain his composure and hold Ji The young lady's hand shook her head: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense! I just think the rumors in the market are true, and anyone who goes against her will have a bad end!"
Ji Guogong The prince was frightened and said: "Hou Yongchang, he Just being brushed with a machete like that..."
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Mrs. Ji Guogong patted him on the shoulder: "I understand, we will send someone to the Hou Mansion in a few days. , send a generous gift to express my apology.”
"Well, give more, don't dig around!"
"Deduct it from your private money."
"Okay!"
The joys and sorrows of honorable nobles Lixi is different.
Some are glad that the Lord is still alive, and some are sorry that the Lord is still alive.
But after this night, Yongchang Hou Mansion was completely silent.
"Auntie!" Su Yunyan, who came a step late, hugged Gu Nanxi's arm and cried loudly.
God knows how panicked she was when she heard that the Hou Mansion was attacked!
At that time, she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly to her mother-in-law.
Seeing that Su Yunyan and Su Xuanming were safe and sound, Gu Nanxi let out a strong breath and collapsed. Fortunately, Su Yunyan was holding her by his side.
"Dalang, why are you here?"
Su Xuanming comforted the frightened servants while offering rewards based on their merits. There were also deceased servants who had to comfort their families.
“Aniang loves us very much and doesn’t want us to put ourselves in danger. Our hearts for Aniang are just like Aniang’s feelings for us. Aniang is in danger, and as the eldest son, what can I do? Can you just sit back and do nothing?"
Gu Nanxi sighed heavily, she knew this would be the case.
But thanks to Su Xuanming, Boss Li came in such a timely manner.
Immediately, her eyes turned to the ball of blood and mud on the steps...
The late-night sneak attack on the Yongchang Hou Mansion by the northern Tatars set off a stir in the entire Kyoto and in the court. Uproar!
Although the northern Tatars are fierce, they have never blatantly caused trouble in Kyoto.
This incident is like a slap on the face of the emperor, the courtiers and everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Check! Give me a thorough investigation!" The young emperor was furious.
