Chapter 57 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Everyone in the room was stunned by the long bamboo pole that suddenly appeared. Zuo Ji fell to the ground. Several swordsmen used their swords to block the left and right, like clumsy old cows driving away mosquitoes and flies. They retreated helplessly, and only one person was extremely angry and rushed forward bravely.

Luo Huanzhang was so angry that he was carrying out the greatest adventure in his life. Even when facing the empress dowager and the emperor, he dared to express his feelings directly, and no longer had to hide behind the word benevolence and righteousness and was angry secretly. But these eunuchs and palace maids always had bad things. They should be quietly out of the matter like others.

Luo Huanzhang pounced on it, of course, not facing the bamboo poles, but fell to the ground, throwing the famous scholar's demeanor out of the sky, crawling forward with his hands and feet, and his speed was very fast, and he immediately reached the window, but the speed was too fast and he couldn't close enough. He hit the wall all at once. When he fell on his back, he didn't forget to reach out and grab it.

He grabbed a piece of his ankle.

Han Ruzi's upper body had already turned out of the window, and several hands were helping him, but one foot could not be taken back. An eunuch lay on the windowsill, poked down with a short stick in his hand, and shouted: "Eat force"

Luo Huanzhang was hit by a few times, raised his other hand to protect his face, shouted at Bu Hengru and others: "Come and help, you must not."

Bu Hengru and others held the knife in their hands, but they were not able to adapt. They realized when they heard the shouts, and immediately rushed down the window.

At this moment, Luo Huanzhang suffered a heavy forehead, and he felt so painful that he had to let go.

The emperor was stolen.

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

There was a hustle and bustle outside. Luo Huanzhang sat on the ground covering his forehead and said sternly: "Go and grab the emperor back quickly. One less one will ruin our plan. You must not let the emperor leave the inner palace."

Bu Hengru and others also understood this truth. Three people jumped into the window, four people walked through the door, and rushed out with their knives, but they were too few. The eunuchs and palace maids outside had already prepared, and stones, eggs, soil and other things were thrown over like rainstorms, forcing the seven people to retreat back to the house and dodge the attack against the wall.

Since its completion, Cishun Palace has never been so dirty and messy.

The chair was diagonally opposite the door and was not attacked. The beauty Wang still protected the empress dowager. At the same time, she looked out and wanted to look at her son, but she could only see a few strangers.

The seat of Tokai King is more inward, without any danger, but he is most surprised, "Oh my God, he doesn't even want his own mother?"

This sentence reminded Meiren Wang, who no longer cared about her modesty and concealment, and shouted loudly: "Ruzi, run to the ministers outside and don't worry about me, they."

Bu Hengru came up with a knife and said angrily: "Shut up"

The beautiful Wang lowered his voice, but did not shut up, and continued, "They dare not kill the Queen Mother and me."

"That's not necessarily." Bu Hengru's knife was placed on Wang Meiren's neck, and she stopped talking.

Luo Huanzhang sat under the window and shouted: "Your Majesty, the inner palace gates have been blocked. You can't escape. Please come back. We didn't think about killing the lord. Is Your Majesty really disregarding it?"

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

Luo Huanzhang stood up, his forehead was swollen, and he looked out the window. Sure enough, he went to the yard without leaving only sticks and stones on the floor. He was furious and punched the windowsill hard, "He really didn't care about his mother."

Luo Huanzhang turned around, his face turned pale. This was a well-planned palace change, but it was becoming more and more like a farce. "Bu Hengru, if you take someone to inform the three gates of the inner palace, be sure to keep a close eye. You must not let the emperor escape and meet with the ministers. Zuo Ji, you go to the Qinzheng Hall immediately and bring some people back. As long as you are your own people, don't want the guards in the palace, you must not arouse suspicion from the outside, do you understand?"

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

Luo Huanzhang pointed at a swordsman, "You and Zuo Ji leave the palace."

The eunuchs and palace maids were like crazy. Zuo Ji felt that a bodyguard was too few, but when he glanced at the empress dowager, he knew in his heart that the current situation was in progress and without retreat. He gritted his teeth and took the swordsman out.

Bu Hengru was more courageous and was about to go out, Luo Huanzhang called him, "Wait." He took a few breaths, "It's nothing, go, go and go back quickly, the emperor has been lost, and the Queen Mother and the King of East China Sea can no longer be lost."

Bu Hengru nodded and hurriedly left with a swordsman.

Luo Huanzhang rubbed the lump on his forehead, turned around, and walked to the empress dowager, "I didn't expect that the palace was also a place for crouching tigers and hidden dragons. In a hurry, a group of eunuchs and palace maids could be organized in an orderly manner. This person must be an ordinary person."

The empress dowager had no expression, "Since it's a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, why ask me that Da Chu is at the moment of employment. I am only worried that the way to recommend is not smooth, so how can I hide the dragon and tiger?"

Luo Huanzhang did not ask any further and stepped aside to contemplate.

Han Ruzi, who escaped, also had similar doubts. He was held by several pairs of hands and wanted to go back to save his mother, but he couldn't help but be hugging the flower gate. He heard his mother's screams and ran out with everyone. Under the porch of the front yard, he saw a man sitting on the ground with blood on his face. He must have been one of the swordsmen brought by Bu Hengru. He was not dead yet, and he raised his arm weakly, as if he wanted to stop everyone, but he was just doing it.

There was no trace of people outside Cishun Palace. After running for a while, Han Ruzi was finally able to observe the drivers around him.

There were about thirty eunuchs and more than twenty palace maids, most of whom were strangers, and only a few were waiters of the imperial concubines in the Cining Palace. The people he was most familiar with were Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e, who were protected by him at this moment, but they were not the leaders. A fat eunuch ran in front, and he could not tell his age from his back. He held a long bamboo pole in one hand, and a short knife tied to the pole.

Among the group of people, only four or five people held weapons, while the others were holding either bamboo poles or wooden sticks.

Not long after, the group ran back to the Cining Palace of the Imperial Concubine, and closed the door first after entering.

Two swordsmen were tied under the porch in Cining Palace and had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths. When they saw everyone coming in, they whimpered in horror. Zhang Youcai went up and kicked each of them, and the two of them became honest.

The crowd finally calmed down a little, everyone's faces were still red, and their eyes were flashing, which was an excited expression that Han Ruzi had never seen before in the palace for several months.

"I'll call on Your Majesty." The fat eunuch spoke, and everyone knelt down.

Han Ruzi hurriedly said, "Everyone, you don't have to be polite in extraordinary times. I am very grateful to you."

Everyone stood up, and the excitement on their faces had not subsided. Han Ruzi looked at the fat eunuch. This person looked about forty years old. Although he was fat, he did not look bloated or clumsy at all, and he was full of heroic spirit.

"You" Han Ruzi didn't know where to ask about it for a moment.

The fat eunuch did not speak, and Zhang Youcai rushed to speak. He was too excited and his voice was sharper than usual. "At first, there were four people guarding here, but later two of them walked away. Everyone took a ladder in the backyard. I was the youngest and sent me out. I went to find Brother Cai in Jingshuan House. Brother Cai said he couldn't wait any longer. It happened that he had a bunch of brooms there. We took it apart as a weapon. Brother Cai said that Cining Palace was too close to Cishun Palace and he had to take it down first before he could save His Majesty from Cishun Palace."

Zhang Youcai said it a bit confusingly, but the general meaning was clear. "Brother Cai" and more than a dozen eunuchs, holding bamboo poles, went to the Cining Palace to knock on the door, claiming that they were sent by the Imperial Concubine. While the swordsman opened the door, he rushed in, knocked down the two of them and tied them up.

The dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in Cining Palace were frightened. Only Tong Qing'e and a few people dared to leave the palace. The others still abide by the imperial concubine's orders and did not dare to go out, but did not release the two swordsmen. Just as Zhang Youcai was telling them, they looked at them and found that the emperor was really rescued and a group of them ran over.

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

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

The fat eunuch knelt down quickly, "The lowly slave Cai Xinghai was called the eldest brother by his colleagues just because he was older. How dare he use this title in front of His Majesty? Please call His Majesty the name."

"Okay, Cai Xinghai is exempt from gifts." Han Ruzi felt that this person must have a history, so she didn't have time to ask more, so she looked at the crowd a few times and recognized a few faces she knew, "You are from Qiuxin Palace."

The people nodded repeatedly, and a palace maid said, "There are two thieves guarding Qiuxin Palace. Cai Xinghai led people to break through the palace gate. The queen ordered us to follow Cai Xinghai to rescue him. She also wanted to come, so we persuaded her."

When Han Ruzi first married the queen, she was extremely reluctant, but now she feels that having such a queen is very good.

He was also a little overly excited and had to secretly remind himself to calm down. He was not completely out of danger. He thought for a while and said, "We must find a way to leave the inner palace. Can we break through the door?"

Zhang Youcai couldn't answer this question, Cai Xinghai said: "I sent someone to check. There are twenty or thirty people guarding each of the three gates of the south, north and west. They are all swordsmen in the martial arts world. We have long bamboo poles, which can deal with more than ten people. If there are too many enemies, there is no chance of winning, and His Majesty will take risks."

"What do you think you should do?" Han Ruzi had to choose to believe Cai Xinghai at this time.

"In my foolish opinion, it is better to jump over the wall. The south, north and west are palaces. It is not easy to go out. You may also be discovered by traitors. There is a wall in the east and no one should guard it. After jumping over, you can go to the Taimiao, go south and take a detour. Not far away, it is Qinzheng Hall. Where can your Majesty meet with the ministers, or leave the palace before making a decision."

"I am going to meet the ministers. They don't know what happened in the palace. I must explain it to them in person."

"Then let's go." Zhang Youcai turned around and was about to run away. Cai Xinghai was more cautious. "Slow down, someone must walk in front to find out the situation."

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

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

Han Ruzi knew that no matter which side you go, it was a risk. The doctor general had been taken away. It was hard to predict who the palace guards listened to, so he said: "Try not to attract attention in this trip. Well, Cai Xinghai, you choose a few people to leave the palace with me. Everyone else goes to Qiuxin Palace to protect the queen, try not to fight with the thief. The queen mother is still in their hands. We must ensure that the queen mother is safe."

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

Cai Xinghai also had this idea. He pointed his fingers and chose three eunuchs to accompany him. Others, including those in Cining Palace who had not dared to go out before, went to Qiuxin Palace to protect the queen.

A large number of people set out first, Cai Xinghai pointed to the two prisoners next to him and said, "These two should not leave a living mouth."

Han Ruzi glanced at the two of them and saw fear and begging in their eyes. He hesitated for a moment, remembering his mother, no longer had compassion, and "killed."

This is the first time he has decided on the life and death of others. Next, he has to decide on his own safety.
