The Child Emperor

Chapter 59 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Everyone in the room was stunned by the sudden appearance of the long bamboo pole. Zuo Ji threw himself to the ground. Several swordsmen used their knives to flick left and right, like a clumsy old cow driving away mosquitoes and flies. Backing back, only one person was very angry and rushed forward bravely.

Luo Huanzhang was really angry. He was carrying out the greatest adventure in his life. Even in the face of the empress dowager and the emperor, he dared to express his anger directly. They should be just like everyone else, staying out of the way quietly.

Luo Huanzhang pounced, of course not at the bamboo poles, but fell to the ground, throwing his famous scholar's bearing to the sky, and crawling forward with both hands and feet, the speed was actually very fast, and he immediately reached the window, but The speed was too fast, and the momentum was too late, and suddenly hit the wall, and when he fell on his back, he didn't forget to reach out and grab.

He grabbed an ankle.

Han Ruzi's upper body has been turned out of the window, several hands are helping him, but one foot can't be retracted. A eunuch was lying on the windowsill, poked down with the short stick in his hand, and said loudly: "Strength!"

Luo Huanzhang slapped his head a few times, raised his other hand to protect his face, and rushed forward to shout to everyone, "Come and help, you must not..."

Bu Hengru and the others held knives in their hands, but they didn't know what to do. They only reacted when they heard the shouting, and immediately two people rushed down the window.

At this moment, Luo Huanzhang slapped his forehead hard, but the pain was too much, and he had to let go.

The emperor was robbed.

The Empress Dowager, Wang Mei and Donghai Wang were stunned. All three of them were scheming. Facing such a scene, they were no different from ordinary people. They sat there in a daze, completely at a loss.

There was a commotion outside, Luo Huanzhang sat on the ground and covered his forehead, and said sternly: "Go and snatch the emperor back, one less will ruin our plan, and the emperor must not be allowed to leave the inner palace!"

Bu Hengru and others also understood this truth. The three jumped out of the window, the four walked through the door, and rushed out with their knives. However, there were too few of them. The eunuchs and maids outside were already prepared. Stones, eggs, clods, etc. The torrential rain was generally thrown over, forcing the seven people to retreat back into the house, leaning against the wall to avoid the attack.

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

The chair was slanted to the door, and she was not attacked. Wang Meiren still protected the queen mother, and at the same time looked out, trying to take a look at her son, but only a few strangers could be seen.

The King of the East Sea was sitting further inward, without danger, but he was most surprised, "Oh my God, does he, he, don't even want his own mother?"

This sentence reminded Wang Meiren that she could no longer care about restraint and concealment, and shouted loudly: "Ruzi, run! Go to the ministers outside! Leave me alone, they..."

Bu Heng came running like 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 entrance to the inner palace has been blocked, you can't escape, please come back, we don't want to kill the monarch! Could it be that Your Majesty really doesn't care..."

Zuo Ji, who was lying at the door at the beginning of the battle, looked out and said, "The people are gone."

Luo Huanzhang stood up abruptly, his forehead was bruised, and he looked out the window. Sure enough, people went to the courtyard, leaving only sticks and stones on the ground. He was so angry that he slammed a fist on the window sill. You don't care about your mother!"

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

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

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

The group of eunuchs and palace maids were like crazy. Zuo Ji felt that there were too few bodyguards, but after taking a look at the queen mother, he knew that the current situation was inexorable, so he gritted his teeth and took the swordsman out.

Bu Heng was more daring and was about to go out when Luo Huanzhang stopped him, "Wait." He took a few breaths, "It's nothing, you go, hurry up and go back, the emperor has already been lost, and the Queen Mother and Donghai can no longer be lost. King."

Bu Hengru nodded, and hurriedly left with a swordsman.

Luo Huanzhang rubbed the lump on his forehead, turned around, and walked in front of the Queen Mother, "I didn't expect that the palace is also a place where the crouching tiger hides the dragon, and the group of eunuchs and palace maids can be organized in a hurry, this person must be extraordinary. "

The queen mother was expressionless, "Since it's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, why do you ask me? When Da Chu is hiring people, I just worry that the way of recommendation will not work. How can I hide the 'Dragon and Tiger'?"

Luo Huanzhang didn't ask any further questions, and stepped aside to ponder.

Han Ruzi, who escaped, had similar doubts. He was held on by several hands. He wanted to go back to save his mother, but he couldn't help himself. . 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. He was not dead yet. Just pretend.

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

There are about thirty eunuchs and more than twenty palace maids, most of them are unfamiliar faces, and only a few are the attendants of the imperial concubine in the Cining Palace. The people he knows best are Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e, who are protecting him at the moment. , but they are not the leaders. A fat eunuch ran at the front, and his age could not be seen from the back. He held a long bamboo pole in one hand, and the short knife he had captured was tied to the end of the pole.

Among the group of people, only four or five people were holding swords, and the others were holding either bamboo poles or wooden sticks.

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

There were two swordsmen tied under the porch in the Cining Palace, with cloth strips in their mouths. When they saw everyone coming in, they screamed in horror. Zhang Youcai went up and kicked each, and the two were honest.

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

"Slave wait to meet your Majesty." The fat eunuch said, and everyone knelt down.

Han Ruzi hurriedly said: "Everyone, get up quickly, you don't have to pay respects in extraordinary times, I... I'm very grateful to you."

Everyone got up, but the excitement on their faces still didn't subside. Han Ruzi took a closer look at the fat eunuch. This man looked about forty years old. Although he was fat, he didn't look bloated and clumsy at all.

"You..." Han Ruzi asked for a while.

The fat eunuch didn't speak, Zhang Youcai hurried to speak, he was too excited, and his voice was sharper than usual, "At first there were four guards here, then two people walked, everyone took a human ladder in the backyard, I am the youngest, take me I sent it out, I went to see Big Brother Cai, the cleaning room. Big Brother Cai said he couldn’t wait any longer. It just so happened that he had a bunch of brooms there. We took them apart and used them as weapons. If you take it down, you can go to Cishun Palace to save His Majesty..."

Zhang Youcai's words were a bit messy, but the general meaning was still clear. "Big Brother Cai" and more than a dozen eunuchs, holding bamboo poles, went to the Cining Palace to knock on the door first. Enter, knock the two down, and tie them up.

Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in Cining Palace were terrified. Only Tong Qing'e and a few people dared to leave the palace. When Zhang Youcai was telling the story, they looked around and found that the emperor was really rescued, and a group came over.

After capturing the Cining Palace, they recruited some helpers from elsewhere, and they all went to the Cishun Palace to rescue them.

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

The fat eunuch hurriedly knelt down, "Cai Xinghai, the cheap slave, is called 'big brother' by his colleagues because he is older. How dare he use this title in front of your majesty, please call your majesty by name."

"Okay, Cai Xinghai doesn't need the ceremony." Han Ruzi felt that this person must have an origin, and didn't have time to ask more. He glanced at the crowd and recognized a few familiar faces, "You are from Qiuxin Palace."

Those people nodded again and again, and a palace 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 the driver. She wanted to come too, so we persuaded her to let her go."

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

He was also a little overexcited, and had to secretly tell himself to calm down. He hadn't completely escaped danger. He thought for a while and said, "We must find a way to leave the inner palace. Can we break through the portal?"

Zhang Youcai couldn't answer this question, Cai Xinghai said: "I sent someone to check, and there are twenty or thirty people guarding each of the South, North, and West gates. No matter how many enemies there are, the chances of success are not great, and your Majesty will be in danger."

"What do you think we should do?" Han Ruzi must choose to trust Cai Xinghai at this time.

"In my humble opinion, it's better to jump over the wall. The south, north, and west are all palaces, so it is not easy to get out, and it may be discovered by rebels. There is a wall in the east, which should be unguarded. After jumping over, you can reach the Taimiao. Go south, take a detour, and not far away is the Hall of Qinzheng, where Your Majesty can meet with the ministers, or leave the palace and make a decision."

"I'm going to see the ministers. They still don't know what happened in the palace. I must explain it to them personally."

"Let's go then!" Zhang Youcai turned around and was about to run, but Cai Xinghai was more cautious, "Wait, someone has to walk ahead to check the situation..."

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

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

Han Ruzi knew that no matter which way he went, it was an adventure. The lieutenant general had already been detained, and it was difficult to predict whose orders the palace guards would follow, so he said, "Try not to attract attention on this trip, um... Cai Xinghai, how many people do you choose? Follow me out of the palace, 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 the safety of the queen mother."

He must say this, if the eunuchs and palace maids attack Cishun Palace again on a whim, his mother Wang Meiren will also be in danger.

Cai Xinghai also had the same idea. He clicked his fingers and chose three eunuchs to go with him. The others, including those in the Cining Palace who had not dared to go out before, went to Qiuxin Palace to protect the queen.

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

Han Ruzi glanced at the two, and saw fear and begging in their eyes, he hesitated for a moment, remembered his mother, and had no mercy, "Behead."

This is the first time he has decided the life and death of others, and next, he must decide his own safety.
