Chapter 36: Assassinated
"Master Huang... let me do it!" Wu Shulai had gone out with the emperor many times. He had his own sense of restraint outside and would not expose the emperor's identity.
"Eunuch Wu, if you have old arms and legs, please stop messing around!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.
"My old arms and legs..." Wu Shulai's eyes suddenly widened, looking in disbelief.
"Yes, see for yourself, he is even weaker than a girl!" Wei Ning'er covered her mouth and smiled. Although Wu Shulai was a popular person around the emperor, she was not afraid of him. In addition, Wei Ning'er had seen him bully the little eunuch many times, and even the little palace maid
Those ladies with low status and no favor are extremely fawning and disgusted with the favored ladies.
"I...I..." Wu Shulai was so choked by her that she didn't say a word.
The emperor smiled and thought to himself, this girl did not even look down upon Wu Shulai with the support of the queen. This was the first time he had seen such a bold little palace maid, and then he smiled and said: "This girl is right, Wu Shulai, I am a bodyguard.
I’ll get it!”.
"Brother, you are still awesome!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile while waving her fan.
"That's not true. It's easy to lift a thousand pounds!" The emperor was dazzled by her slightly admiring eyes and said casually.
"It's so powerful, can't it move this stone lion?" Wei Ning'er pointed at the stone lion outside the antique shop not far away and smiled.
The emperor glanced over at the stone lion, which really weighed a thousand kilograms. Then he looked at Wei Ning'er and saw the cunning flash in her eyes. He immediately understood that this girl did it on purpose.
"The stone lion is a piece of cake, but I accidentally sprained my hand yesterday. I'm afraid I won't be able to exert strength for a long time." The emperor smiled.
"Really, that's a pity!" Wei Ning'er looked at him with a half-smile, and thought to herself, the emperor is really unlucky to have a villain like Wu Shulai by his side, and there is also a guard who loves to lie.
"The weather is really nice today!" the emperor said with a smile.
"No!" Wu Shulai echoed from the side.
"Look, it's almost time. It will be dark in half an hour. Let's go back to the palace quickly!" The emperor really regretted it. He wanted to tease this girl, but he didn't expect to be beaten by her.
Tricked.
"It's still too early for the palace gate to be locked!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.
Wu Shulai glared at Wei Ning'er fiercely, and thought to himself, when he returns to the palace, he must take care of this stinky girl who doesn't know the heights of the world.
Wei Ning'er didn't take it to heart. Instead, she looked at the folding fan with great interest. As she was busy talking just now, she didn't realize that there was an ink painting of mountains and rivers on the folding fan. Although she didn't know how to draw, she could tell that the painting was extraordinary.
Looking at the signature again, Wei Ning'er's face changed drastically.
"This is the emperor's painting!" It's not doubt, but confirmation.
"Yes..." The emperor was about to say something, but he suddenly pulled Wei Ning'er into his arms and stepped aside.
At this moment, several cracks in the air sounded, and Wei Ning'er turned around and saw that the place where they were standing was full of scattered arrows.
Before Wei Ning'er had time to react, the arrow shot towards them again.
"Let's go!" The emperor threw away the baggage in his hand, pulled Wei Ning'er and got into the nearby shop.
Wu Shulai also followed in.
As soon as they entered the shop, men in black rushed in a moment later.
The emperor took Wei Ning'er and ran to the backyard. He wanted to hide for a while, but as soon as they entered, a man in black jumped from the roof and slashed at them with a shining knife. They were attacked from both sides.
The emperor left the palace incognito, and was secretly protected by his bodyguards who were highly skilled in martial arts. Just as the people in black were surrounding him, several people in green clothes descended from the sky and started fighting with the people in black.
"This way!" The emperor was also very skilled. He kicked away the man in black who was blocking them, and dragged Wei Ning'er out.
Wu Shulai also followed, but was entangled by the man in black chasing after him.
Wei Ning'er came to her senses after a brief fright. At this time, she also held a knife in her hand that the dead assassin had originally held, and ran out with the emperor.
The assassins on the street were all led into the shop. When Wei Ning'er and the emperor ran out, they did not see the assassins holding bows and arrows.
"Why do they want to kill us?" Wei Ning'er asked as she ran.
"The one who assassinated the emperor!" the emperor said solemnly.
"What!" Wei Ning'er stopped abruptly, then turned around and ran back.
"What are you doing?" The emperor grabbed her.
"Protect the Emperor!" Wei Ning'er shouted anxiously. If the Emperor had a problem, what should the Queen and the Princess do?
"The emperor is surrounded by experts. Everything will be fine. We ran to attract the attention of those assassins and help the emperor escape. Run!" After the emperor said this, he couldn't help but pull her forward.
At this moment, several more archers who had disappeared appeared from the roof, and a shower of arrows rained down.
Although the emperor's martial arts was not weak, he pulled Wei Ning'er to dodge.
After all, this city of Beijing is at the feet of the emperor. Someone actually stabbed and injured innocent people in broad daylight. This immediately attracted officers and soldiers from the patrolling infantry camp, who immediately surrounded the shop.
"Hurry, escort...hurry to save the emperor..." Wu Shulai, who had survived the disaster, collapsed on the ground for a moment and then screamed.
"Your Majesty..." Everyone in the infantry camp was stunned and rushed out.
Just when everyone was in chaos looking for someone, the emperor and Wei Ning'er had entered the inner city through Zhengyang Gate.
At this time, the capital city was divided into the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city. The outer city was inhabited by the Han people, and the inner city was inhabited by the bannermen. The inner city was heavily guarded, and the emperor suddenly felt relieved.
"Too bad, Eunuch Wu didn't catch up!" Wei Ning'er turned around and saw that Wu Shulai had disappeared.
"It's okay, he will return to the palace on his own!" The emperor's expression was still a little solemn. Anyone who was assassinated would probably be angry.
"Who dares to be so bold as to assassinate the emperor!" Wei Ning'er said angrily.
"I guess it's the remnants of the Heaven and Earth Society. They feel uncomfortable if they don't have trouble for several years!" A stern look flashed in the emperor's eyes.
"Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!" Wei Ning'er looked at him in astonishment.
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about this when you return to the palace today, otherwise you will be killed!" the emperor said sternly.
"Okay, but the baggage is gone, how can I do the business?" Wei Ning'er then remembered the baggage.
"I... will help you find it!" The emperor said as sweat broke out on his forehead.
"How did you..." Wei Ning'er suddenly noticed blood seeping out of his left arm.
"You were hit by an arrow..." Wei Ning'er shouted, and then she checked and found that the arrow didn't hit deeply and was not poisonous.
"Fortunately, it's not poisonous, please bear with it! We'll go find the doctor right now!" Wei Ning'er said anxiously.
The emperor originally wanted to return to the palace, but when he thought that the people in the palace would be in chaos if they saw that he was injured, he thought for a while and then went to find the doctor with Wei Ning'er.
