Chapter 57 Wang Lin meets Zhao Huan in the East Palace
After spending the night with Master Li in Fanlou, Wang Lin quietly left in the early morning of the next day and returned to the house given to him by the emperor without anyone noticing.
He must now consider Master Li.
As for the future, of course I have my own plans.
For now, Zhao Ji has become Li Shishi's biggest protector. No one in the Fan Building she runs dares to cause trouble.
Zhao Ji's enthusiasm for the art of calligraphy and painting far exceeded Wang Lin's imagination. As soon as his talent showed up, Zhao Ji's oral order summoning him to the palace for academic exchanges came out.
The person who came to deliver the oral message was the familiar young eunuch from before, whose surname was Huang Mingkun.
After Wang Lin finished listening to the oral instructions, he quietly stuffed a piece of silver into Huang Kun's arms.
Wang Lin was so aware of the opportunity. Huang Kun was happy and said with a smile: "My lord, the officials are waiting for you. You'd better come with us to the palace immediately."
Wang Lin smiled and said, "That's fine."
Wang Lin and Huang Kun were riding together.
The place where he lived was actually not that far from the imperial city. He only had to enter the Suzaku Gate and walk straight along the central imperial street, which was about ten feet wide, and then go straight for a few miles.
On the east side of Royal Street is Xiangguo Temple, and on the west side are rows of merchants and shops.
There was a steady flow of people, and Wang Lin was chatting and laughing with Huang Kun on his horse. Suddenly, he felt a strong warning. He raised his head and looked at the roof of the restaurant next to him. He saw at least a dozen masked men in black ambushing on the roof.
, holding a crossbow and a long knife, the blade reflecting the cold light in the bright sunshine.
not good!
Wang Lin's face changed, and he immediately jumped off the horse and slapped the horse's butt. The horse ran away in pain. When passers-by saw the horse being frightened, they ducked and screamed in surprise.
Before Huang Kun could recover, he saw a group of masked men in black clothes jumping from the sky.
Xiao Huangmen trembled in his heart, and just when he was about to say a few words, Wang Lin jumped up and kicked his mount in the rear, and the mount screamed and ran away with Huang Kun.
Several feather arrows whizzed in from five directions, including southeast, northwest, and northwest, almost completely covering Wang Lin's figure.
Wang Lin roared angrily, rushed to the door of a nearby store, grabbed the door panel that the store had put aside, waved it high and held it up to cover the front and back, and then narrowly blocked all the arrows.
Two men in black came closer and struck with their swords.
Wang Lin entered the palace without bringing any weapons. He was extremely upset. In his haste, he had to move his body and hit one of the men in black in the face with a punch. When he screamed, he used his bare hands to draw the sword.
He grabbed the long knife from his hand and struck another man in black with his knife.
Wang Lin tried his best to protect himself.
His martial arts skills were so high, and the power of his arms was so amazing, so with this sword, the man in black cut off half of his body with his shoulder blades still alive, and blood shot out into the sky, splattering all over Wang Lin.
Wang Lin raised his knife and ran to one side. He knew that the place was empty, and there were men in black ambushing and preparing crossbows on the roof. He could not withstand the group attack with his fists. To save his life, he could only avoid the surrounding shops that were open, otherwise he would be a living target.
.
Wang Lin, covered in blood and holding a knife, broke into a silk and satin shop, causing the store owner and many female customers to scream.
How could he care about this? He broke into the back house of the silk and satin shop, hurriedly rushed out of the back door, and snaked forward quickly under the eaves of the backstreet shops.
A little further ahead is the palace city, which is guarded by imperial guards. As long as he enters the palace city, he will be safe.
As he walked, Wang Lin kept glancing to higher places and saw many men in black stepping on the roofs of shops along the street, and his face became even more gloomy.
These are obviously professional killers with good skills from the world. Who can bribe so many killers and openly and unscrupulously attack themselves in Bianliang City? And they also choose to kill him in the imperial city and inner city when the emperor summons him to the palace.
Start with the joint part?
Gao Qiu? Pan Ming? Who else?
Wang Lin was thinking about lightning. He was avoiding the pursuit of the men in black, and was also on guard against the chilling arrows coming from above his head. He was extremely nervous.
…
Huang Kun from Xiaohuang Gate galloped into Yanfu Palace.
He stumbled into the royal study room where the official family was located. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and cried out: "Guan family, please report to the official family. Wang Lin, the son of Shandong Province who was ordered to enter the palace, was attacked and killed by assassins on the way. He is currently dead or alive.
, whereabouts unknown!”
Zhao Ji was furious and shouted: "The man I summoned was actually assassinated? Whoever came, summon him quickly and ordered Zhang Li, the deputy commander of the front department of the palace, to lead a team of forbidden troops to help Wang Lin. He must be guarded by me."
Lin is saved!"
"Remember, I want to live!" Zhao Ji shouted at the top of his lungs.
At this time, Wang Lin was being chased crazily by a group of tough black men along the way, and accidentally broke into another palace complex with cornices and carved beams on the east side of the palace city.
These black-clad assassins don't have high individual force values, but they can't stand up to the overwhelming numbers of people, and they are well prepared. They have obviously understood the ambush terrain thoroughly.
So no matter where Wang Lin, who didn't know the path, avoided, there would be a killer in black who would pounce on him in the shortest possible time.
Wang Lin climbed up an ancient tree and jumped into the palace garden. He took shelter under the high wall of a palace. He squatted down and breathed quickly. He looked around and saw that the masked man in black was not chasing him anymore, so he gritted his teeth and attacked fiercely.
The shaft of an arrow shot into his shoulder was broken.
The arrow shaft affected the wound, and the blood seeped out faster. The pain made him gasp and tremble all over.
Although he killed seven or eight people along the way, he was still unable to guard against hidden arrows everywhere. By accident, he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow. Fortunately, he took advantage of the situation and released his strength, so the arrow did not penetrate deeply.
Wang Lin subconsciously glanced at his attribute panel and found that his health had dropped by 0.1.
Sure enough, injuries will reduce health points.
Fortunately, as long as he can eat, his health will be replenished quickly.
…
Not far away, a thin young man wearing a golden crown and a goose-yellow gown appeared in Wang Lin's field of vision. Behind him were a group of palace maids and prison guards, as well as a dozen heavily armed imperial guards.
Wang Lin covered the wound with his hand, and thought that he bumped into Zhao Huan, the later Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, here!
It seems that this palace must be the location of the East Palace.
However, when Wang Lin saw Zhao Huan, he was secretly relieved. Since Zhao Huan appeared, it meant that he was safe at the moment.
The 18-year-old prince Zhao Huan and his people had just returned from the palace to greet the official Zhao Ji. They were startled when they saw a man covered in blood and whose face could not be seen standing in front of him. He exclaimed, and his entourage and guards immediately
Protect him in a group.
Not long after, several imperial soldiers surrounded Wang Lin with knives and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you break into the East Palace and run wild?"
Wang Lin let out a long sigh, then took out the gold medal given by Zhao Ji, held it up and said loudly: "I am Wang Lin from Shandong. I was ordered to enter the palace to meet the saint. I didn't want to be chased by assassins on the way, so I accidentally escaped into the East Palace... This is absolutely no offense.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Huan had just left the palace and knew about this.
Zhang Li, the deputy envoy of the front department, was leading a search and rescue operation. Hearing that this person was the legendary tiger-fighting hero Wang Lin from Shandong who was summoned by his father, Zhao Huan was no longer suspicious because of the gold medal given by the emperor.
, he ordered people to take Wang Lin into the East Palace to seek treatment from the imperial doctor.
