Zhao Qing looked at the three people who expressed their whereabouts, and was filled with emotion. This was considered a good destination for the three of them.
I don’t know when it began to rain continuously outside the window, pattering like a prelude to farewell.
……
It is about three thousand miles from Jingzhou to Beijing.
Passing through the tall Yongding Gate, Zhao Qing walked into this prosperous capital city, one man and one horse.
Counting back more than two thousand years, Jingzhou City was the capital of Chu State, Yingdu, and here was Jicheng, the capital of Yan State. But now, time has changed, and the development of the two is very different.
Zhao Qing was a little surprised when he saw a large ancient city with a population of one million for the first time, so he took a few more glances. The streets inside Yongdingmen were surprisingly wide, busy with traffic, and very lively.
Some martial arts people wrapped their weapons in their bags and walked silently along the edge of the street, no longer as showy as they used to be in other areas.
In the capital, there are many public servants, and most people in the world are careful to avoid getting into trouble.
But what these people never imagined was that Zhao Qing, who was walking with them on the same street, not only planned to cause trouble when he went to Beijing, but also wanted to cause the most serious kind of trouble.
……
Late at night, Zhao Qing fostered the horses in the backyard of the inn and sneaked to the palace alone.
She was dressed in black night clothes, with a small black-painted steel buckler attached to her back, a bloody knife in her left hand, and a long sword in her right hand. Her shoes were also specially treated to eliminate as much noise as possible when walking.
The palace wall in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City is relatively short. It is where the servants live, and there are no guards to patrol. Zhao Qing explored it, came to the side of the thirteenth row in the north, quietly walked around and hid behind a big tree, and waited.
The guards patrolled by, stepped lightly, and jumped into the palace wall.
The guards inside the palace are not as tight as outside the palace. After all, it is the backyard of the palace. Most of the guards cannot stay overnight late at night.
Regarding the residence of Emperor Jiaqing, Zhao Qing had inquired in advance. It should be the Yangxin Hall in the west of the Qianqing Palace. This hall is adjacent to the Military Aircraft Department of "Zhang Military and State Affairs" and is the place where the emperor manages politics.
Zhao Qing has profound internal skills. Although she is in the dark, she can see things as if they were in daylight. She walks quickly, and when she encounters guards and watchmen patrolling, she hides in the corner of the house or behind the woods.
Going west through the Hall of Leshou and Yangxing, bypassing a long corridor, Zhao Qing passed by the Xuanqiong Palace, Jingyang Palace, and Zhongcui Palace and arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Then she walked along the west side of Kunning Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Qianqing Palace to the east side of Yangxin Palace, lightly jumped up the courtyard wall, entered through Yuehua Gate, ZY Gate, and soon stood at Yangxin Gate.
Top.
I saw a plaque outside the hall in the distance, which read the words "Yangxin Hall", with winding Manchu characters next to it.
Looking at the vermilion palace walls and yellow glazed tiles under the light of the hand-held lanterns of the eunuchs outside the palace, Zhao Qing knew that the first critical step had come.
To be honest, she didn't expect that her sneaking into the palace would be so smooth. Not only did she not see the Sea Controller or the Deputy General Manager along the way, she didn't even see a few ordinary first-rate and second-rate players.
However, this is more in line with common sense. After all, I am going to invade the palace today, but the people in the palace have no idea about it.
Gui Xinshu encountered so many guards back then, mainly because Kangxi had obtained information from the traitor and increased the intensity of the guard. In fact, during the Xiaoao period, Dan Qingsheng had the ability to break into the palace and kidnap the imperial chef, although it was not
It is aimed at the emperor, but it can also be seen.
The reason why I say that I didn't see a few good players, rather than that there are no good ones, is because at this moment, there are indeed two guards who are generally considered to be first-rate and are guarding the entrance of the palace.
The two of them may have been standing at the gate of the palace for too long and were too bored. One was counting the tassels on the saber on his waist one by one with his fingers; the other had his eyes wide open, breathing in and out through his mouth and nose, and his whole body muscles were trembling slightly.
It seems that he is practicing some kind of hard Qigong, and he is quite diligent.
But judging from the long breaths of the two of them, they still have some attainments in internal skills.
In addition to these two people, there are still forty or fifty guards guarding the Yangxin Hall with swords, and they are heavily guarded. It is estimated that these people came in during the night shift, and after resting throughout the day, they were full of energy at night.
There are so many of these guards that if you want to kill them all at once, someone will definitely make a sound before dying. It will be extremely difficult to break into the palace silently.
Just when Zhao Qing decided to jump down from the Yangxin Gate and kill the guards, four eunuchs in the distance carried palace lanterns and led two officials over.
While the guards were checking the official's identity, Zhao Qing jumped up and landed lightly on the eaves of the Yangxin Palace. She put away her weapon, lowered her body, opened the glazed tiles, and used the inner power of Shenzhao Gong to move down.
Mianjin.
But after hearing a slight sound of sand scattering, a small hole had been opened in the roof of the temple.
Zhao Qing looked down and saw several eunuchs lighting lamps and candles in the palace, and a tall, thin and bald military attache standing on the right side of the emperor, who seemed to be deeply trusted.
Two old officials were standing beside the throne, bowing and reporting on political affairs. They mainly talked about the famine in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. They said that there had been an uprising in recent days, and they suspected that people from the Red Flower Society were involved.
He is quite diligent, but it is a pity that he is a Manchu emperor. In addition, the Red Flower Society still exists, and we can indeed contact you in the future.
Now that the emperor's position was confirmed, Zhao Qing raised the blood knife, drew a complete circle on the roof of the palace above him, and cut off two rafters. Along with the tiles and dust falling from the air, she jumped down from the palace.<
/p>
As the black shadow shook, Jiaqing's back was quickly and inexorably stamped with a palm. Under the intertwined strength, in an instant, he felt that all his internal organs had shifted, his vision went dark, and he fainted on the spot.
Past.
But soon, the increasing pain in his heart made him wake up again, and he could only lie down on the desk. This was the Qi Sha Chi practice practiced by Zhao Qing, the heartbreaking pain caused by the Qi Sha.
Of course, Zhao Qing was worried that the emperor who had never practiced martial arts was too weak to bear the excessive pain, so Zhao Qing greatly reduced his palm strength. Otherwise, with Jiaqing's physique, he would have fallen to the ground rolling and howling in pain, completely losing the dignity of the emperor.<
/p>
He never expected that he would be attacked by assassins without any warning in the middle of the night. The tall, thin, bald old man standing next to the emperor had no time to defend him. By the time he reacted, he saw Jiaqing lying on his desk and screaming in pain.
.
Knowing that he had committed a major dereliction of duty, the old man struck out in fear, using the strong wind with his palms to strike out at Zhao Qing one after another. Each palm strike was accompanied by a whirring sound, as if there was a person in his palm.
Exhaling quickly is normal.
Zhao Qing glanced at the old man, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on Jiaqing's wrist to check the situation behind the middle palm, and casually held his palm against it. But when he heard a sound like a beating, the old man's face turned blood red and he fell back.
After four or five steps, he suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.
With just one palm strike, Zhao Qing had already figured out the old man's true identity, and guessed that the other party was most likely Mr. Hai, who had practiced the martial arts of the Shenlong Sect. His martial arts was quite good, but he was still inferior to the ancestor of the Blood Sword.
Not your own rival.
This secret attack has been completely successful. But this does not mean that he has succeeded and controlled the current emperor.
Will the Manchu nobles be willing to allow an emperor who is controlled by the Han to continue to be the "emperor"? Zhao Qing doesn't know what the outcome will be, but she is ready to deal with the enemy's counterattack.
