Chapter 289 Suzaku Enters the Palace to Arrest the False Emperor, and the Eunuch Delivers the Secret

There were twenty or thirty people following Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude. Zhu Yousong and Cai Zhong were not angry because they were all women.

What Zhu Yousong was thinking at this time was: Even if Yuan Fu and Lu Jiude want to donate folk women to me, they should say it in advance, right? Wouldn't it be objectionable to bring them into the palace and spread them out in such a grand manner?

What's more, these women are all dressed in bulky and tacky clothes, and none of them have good-looking faces.

My beautiful lady didn't even have time to be lucky, so why would I care about these women who are like village women?

They can't think that I like "game food" just because of the child concubine, right?

It's okay to eat wild game once in a while, but I can't bear to eat it all the time.

Just when Zhu Yousong was busy in his heart and kept complaining, he saw the tallest woman behind her, whose face was hidden in the shadows but not yet revealed, waved her hand, and the women in front rushed towards him.

At this time, Zhu Yousong and Cai Zhong finally realized that something was wrong.

Zhu Yousong didn't say a word and stepped back.

Cai Zhongze shouted sharply: "What are you going to do? Protect me! Protect me!"

In fact, there was no need for Cai Zhong to shout, as the eight Jinyi captains in the palace had already rushed forward to intercept the women.

Unexpectedly, the women at the front suddenly took out an exquisite hand crossbow from their loose clothes, raised their hands and fired!

A few steps away, in a hurry, five Jinyi captains were hit by arrows. They were either killed on the spot, or fell down trembling.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining three turned around to escape, but were also hit by crossbow arrows.

This crossbow arrow is small and small, so it is not very powerful.

This is also true. The three people were still able to run after being hit by the arrows, but after only running four or five steps, they all fell down and trembled - but they were all poisoned by the crossbow arrows.

Everything happens in one or two breaths.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was protected by Cai Zhong and just ran to the corridor door connecting the main hall to another palace.

A group of female soldiers from the task force were as fast as rabbits and quickly caught up with them.

Cai Zhong also defended him loyally. He swung his whisk in a hurry to prevent the female soldier from passing through the corridor door. The female soldier rushed towards him and stabbed her throat with a knife, killing her.

Zhu Yousong rushed into the corridor but fell down and hurriedly shouted, "Help! Come and save me!"

In this palace, there are five guards and one guard, and ten steps and one guard.

Twenty or so Jinyi captains standing guard between the two halls all rushed over to protect him.

A few of them had some real skills. They ran over the railing and stopped the first few female soldiers.

Because she didn't want to use a short-handed gun to let outsiders know that something was going on here, the female soldier at the front could only fight with a short sword.

On the other side, Zhu Yousong was helped up by a captain in golden clothes and ran away. Before he could enter another palace, he saw a tall and fierce woman with scars on her face running over, holding two daggers and pounced on her like a tiger.

The two captains in Jinyi subconsciously intercepted her, but they were killed at the same time when she passed through them!

Zhu Yousong was stunned when he saw this.

The woman didn't spare him, she rushed over and kicked him to the ground with a big kick, shouting: "Run?"

Then another hand pulled him up and held him hostage with a short knife.

This woman is naturally the leader of the task force and the general tiger girl.

Her original intention was to kidnap Zhu Yousong and make other Jinyi captains lay down their weapons and surrender, but when she saw that Jinyi captains had already been killed by other sisters, she was a little confused for a moment.

Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude followed here and were secretly surprised when they saw that Zhu Yousong had been controlled and more than twenty Jinyi captains had been killed. However, none of the women seemed to be injured.

Ma Shiying thought to herself: I wonder where the supervisory country recruited these powerful female soldiers.

Lu Jiude was thinking: I heard that there are four to five hundred people in the Suzaku Camp. If they are all so powerful, that would be incredible.

Little did the two of them know that the Suzaku Battalion did not use any weapons in this battle. It would be really powerful if short-handed blunderbuss and Type 45 Bright Rifle were used together.

Seeing the two of them in a daze, Huniu was dissatisfied and said, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly tell this false emperor to do something?"

"Yes yes yes."

After all, both of them had led soldiers before, and they immediately came to their senses.

Ma Shiying said to Zhu Yousong: "His Royal Highness, Prince Fu, Princess Kunxing is supervising the country according to the late emperor's decree, and she is also a person of destiny. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, you should listen to our words and act accordingly."

Only then did Zhu Yousong react. He was shocked, angry and afraid: "Yuan Fu——? You actually voted for Kunxing?!"

"Call Jian Guo!" Huniu slapped Zhu Yousong on the back of the head, and Zhu Yousong's initial anger was extinguished by fear.

But he still couldn't help but asked aggrievedly: "Yuanfu, you supported me, why did you abandon me and choose... that person?"

Ma Shiying didn't know what to say to Zhu Yousong, and didn't want to say anything. He sighed and said to Huniu: "The seals are all in the front hall. If we want to summon Zhao Zhilong and others into the palace, we only need to ask him to write a handwritten edict and add Just stamp it with the seal."

"Then take him to do it."

Huniu said, and then directed the female soldiers of the task force to deal with the body of Captain Jinyi.

Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude can lead the special team into the palace, so naturally there are some people in the palace.

But if the corpses of these Jinyi captains are not dealt with, the matter will spread quickly in the palace and cause a big mess.

Of course, there is no need to hide this matter for too long, as long as it is not spread outside the palace and affects Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi, Gao Qiqian is summoned into the palace.

···

After Ma Shiying forced Zhu Yousong to write the edict, Lu Jiude selected three reliable eunuchs from among the godsons and asked them to take the Jinyi captain who had joined Ma Shiying out of the palace to deliver the edict.

Under normal circumstances, eunuchs and lieutenants in golden clothes are the standard for delivering orders, so this arrangement is necessary.

However, Quan Zhixuan carefully dispatched six private soldiers of the Imperial Guard, who were divided into three groups to secretly follow these three groups of messengers.

It was originally just a precaution, but within half an hour, Quan Zhixuan learned bad news through the intercom.

He immediately came to the main hall where Zhu Yousong was and said to Huniu, Ma Shiying and others: "There was an accident at Gao Qiqian's side - the eunuch who passed the decree and the captain of Jinyi entered his mansion and did not come out. Instead, Gao Qiqian I hurried to the Jingying garrison on horseback!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiude suddenly turned pale, clapped his legs and said in a bitter voice, "What's wrong! It must be Li Xuan who was cheating on everyone, and when he saw that the Za family was losing power, he secretly took refuge with Gao Qiqian!"

Li Xuan was the eunuch who went to deliver orders to Gao Qiqian.

Ma Shiying said: "It may be that there is something wrong with the two Jinyi captains."

When Zhu Yousong heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude, how many dozens of women actually want to rebel? How naive!

Now Gao Qiqian has 200,000 soldiers from the capital camp in his hands. Even if you take me hostage, you will never give the capital to Na Kun... Hey? Why are you beating me again?!"

But before Zhu Yousong could finish his words, Huniu interrupted him with a slap on the back of the head.

"You talk so much nonsense, who else will I hit if I don't hit you?" Huniu glared at Zhu Yousong unkindly, and then said: "Isn't he just an old eunuch? Send someone to lead the way, and I will lead people to kill him!"

Lu Jiude on the side couldn't help but touch his nose and thought: There is a castrate next to you, can you be more careful when you speak?

Ma Shiying said: "Although there are my men in the Beijing camp, if you stand high and hide, most of the soldiers and horses will only obey his orders.

Surrounded by heavy troops, how many people would Tiger Band have to bring to kill him?"

Huniu grinned and said, "Don't worry, I only need to bring two people with me, and you will be responsible for sending us to the Beijing camp so that we can see the high dive."

Ma Shiying saw that Huniu was so confident, and then thought of Zhu Yusuo's various extraordinary methods, so he chose to believe Huniu.

Immediately, he called in his cronies who had entered the palace to make arrangements.

After Huniu left with the two female soldiers of the task force, the task of controlling Zhu Yousong fell on Quan Zhixuan.

As for Weng Zhiqi, he assisted Ma Shiying's people in controlling some palace gates.

Not long after Huniu left, the Marquis of Xincheng, Zhao Zhilong, and the Protector of the Country, Zhu Guobi, entered the palace.

The two met at the palace gate and started talking to each other.

"Brother Zhu, does he know why His Majesty urgently ordered us to enter the palace?"

Zhu Guobi said: "You and I are in charge of the capital camp. Most of us are asking about the city defense."

Zhao Zhilong said a little speechlessly: "Your Majesty is also worrying blindly. There are so many troops around Nanjing City, can you still let the enemy attack the city?
