Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 46 Crisis 3: Lure the enemy into the mountains
More than a dozen rockets were fired into the hall, igniting flammable materials, and thick smoke and flames filled the hall.
"Ah, fire, what should we do? We are going to be burned to death here."
"Put out the fire, put out the fire!"
Those who retreated here were royal relatives and nobles who had never encountered any danger. They were all in a panic, shouting and running around like headless flies.
Emperor Xia Ming's face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it. Sang Yu, the head of the visiting department, said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, there is a previously closed Wangxingzhai on the right side of Xianyi Pavilion. There is a stone bridge connecting it to Xianyi Pavilion. Let's go there to hide for a while. We can't stay here any longer."
Wangxingzhai and Xianyi Pavilion are separated by a slender stone bridge in the middle. Even if a fire breaks out on this side, the other side will not be affected by the fire.
Emperor Xia Ming said: "Lead the way!"
A group of people supported each other and moved quickly to Wangxingzhai.
There were more and more assassins outside, and there were only a few imperial guards left alive. Xie Heng and Xie Yan had no choice but to return to the palace.
Wei You rushed in first, his eyes red with anger, and he yelled:
"Leave the old emperor to me to kill, you guys take care of the others!"
After giving the order, he bypassed Xie Heng and Xie Yan and searched everywhere in the palace for Emperor Xia Ming.
Led by Sang Yu, a group of people crossed the stone bridge and hid in Wangxingzhai.
"Father, I'm so scared. Will we die here?"
The tenth princess Xie Han grabbed Emperor Xia Ming's sleeve in fear.
Emperor Xia Ming touched her head and said in a low voice: "Han'er, be good. Father is here. Everything will be fine."
Xie Han was born to Concubine Jing. She is nine years old this year and is the youngest daughter of Emperor Xia Ming.
Feng Qingluan felt that things were not that optimistic.
Just then, Wei You came over with a few assassins.
Feng Qingluan looked at the people behind her. They were huddled together in a corner in fear. There were old and young people, and many of them were innocent lives. She had to find a way to lure away those assassins. She couldn't just watch them die here.
There is a ten-meter-long stone bridge connecting the two attics. This is the only passage to Xianyi Pavilion. There is a cliff thousands of feet below the stone bridge. As long as the stone bridge can be destroyed, most assassins can be prevented from coming up.
Feng Qingluan had been observing. Judging from the weapons and moves used by the assassins, as well as the fact that they came from the west, they were better at riding and shooting, and there might not be many people who were good at light work.
She quickly thought of a way and opened the door to go out, but the queen stopped her anxiously:
"Princess Chu, where are you going?"
Feng Qingluan said: "I will go and destroy the stone bridge. The bridge is connected to Wangxingzhai. If we destroy it, we can hold on for a while longer."
The queen said, "You are a little girl with nothing, how can you destroy the stone bridge? Don't take the risk."
Xie Ying sneered, "You still want to show off at this hour? Princess Chu, do you really want to show off in front of your father? How can you destroy a bridge? I think you should stop wasting time and just wait for rescue here."
Feng Qingluan said: "Your Highness, just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it. I haven't even tried, so how do you know I can't do it?"
Xie Ying was blocked by her words, snorted and turned her head away.
She thought Feng Qingluan just wanted to show off in front of her father. Regardless of whether she went to the battlefield to kill the enemy or not, when they got through this disaster, Feng Qingluan would definitely have the credit for protecting the emperor.
This little bitch really knows how to take advantage of every opportunity to show off.
Di Manli saw that Feng Qingluan didn't seem to be joking, maybe she really had some solution. Feng Qingluan knew martial arts, so she thought quickly and chased after her when she turned to leave:
"Wait, Princess Chu, I'll go with you!"
She is about to become the King of Chu's concubine. If she can perform well in front of Emperor Xia Ming and earn some credit, she may be able to become the King of Chu's principal wife directly.
Feng Qingluan said: "You stay. You are the only one here who knows martial arts. If an assassin attacks you, you can still resist."
Feng Qingluan was telling the truth, but the main reason was that she didn't want Di Manli to see the things she was going to use to blow up the stone bridge.
Although her medical laboratory does not have bombs, she can make them on the spot.
Di Manli stopped and thought that Feng Qingluan was right. If she stayed, she would have the opportunity to perform. So she saw Feng Qingluan running out of Wangxingzhai and closing the door.
Feng Qingluan took out nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth from the laboratory to make a bomb.
Wei You grabbed a palace servant who was shot in the leg by an arrow and failed to retreat to Wangxingzhai, and interrogated him about the whereabouts of Emperor Xia Ming. When he found out where they were hiding, he showed ecstasy on his face, "Across the stone bridge, chase them!"
When they were approaching the stone bridge, Feng Qingluan's makeshift bomb was ready. She stood in front, holding a few explosives similar to "grenades" in her hands. Wei You saw her blocking alone and sneered:
"Haha, no one comes to save the dog emperor? I let a little girl come out, do you think you can stop me?"
He shouldered the scimitar and waved his hand, and the two assassins rushed towards the stone bridge.
Feng Qingluan smiled and said, "You can try and see if you can block it."
She threw all the "grenades" onto the stone bridge, and the ammunition exploded with a loud "boom" when it hit the ground.
The two assassins who had just run onto the stone bridge had no time to react. With a loud bang, the stone bridge broke, and the rubble fell into the abyss below.
Wei You was horrified. He watched helplessly as the only passage was blown up and two of his companions were killed. He roared:
"Bitch! You actually threw dynamite! Do you think I can't get over if you blow up the bridge? I'm going to take the dog emperor's head today no matter what!"
He cursed, and Feng Qingluan threw the "grenade" and ran back quickly.
The people hiding in Wangxingzhai were all terrified when they heard the loud noise coming from below. When they saw Feng Qingluan coming back, Emperor Xia Ming asked anxiously:
"Qingluan, what's going on? I heard an explosion. Did you blow up the stone bridge?"
Feng Qingluan said, "Yes, Your Majesty, but you cannot relax yet. I dare to ask Your Majesty to change your dragon robe."
She told Emperor Xia Ming about her plan.
Wei You has a strong desire for revenge and is also very good at martial arts. A distance of just ten meters should not be a problem for him. His goal is Emperor Xia Ming's head. She must lead him away and let the people here continue to hide.
Feng Qingluan was not mistaken. After she left, Wei You used his luck and a spy threw a flying knife into the air. He leaped up, stepped on the flying knife as a step, and landed on the ground opposite in a leap in the air, quickly chasing after Wangxingzhai.
When he stepped onto the attic stairs, he saw a bright yellow figure supported by a eunuch hurriedly escaping from the corridor next to him and heading towards the back mountain.
Wei You laughed wildly: "You dog emperor, where are you going to escape? I'll kill you!"
Pushing off the ground with his feet, Wei You used his lightness skills to quickly chase after the two fleeing figures.
After dealing with all the assassins, Xie Jin rushed to Xianyi Pavilion with reinforcements.
Xie Heng and Xie Yan were already exhausted, fortunately he arrived in time.
"What about Your Majesty?"
Xie Jin was covered in blood, holding a long sword in his hand, like a god descending from heaven. Seeing him appear, all the survivors felt relieved.
Xie Yan wiped the blood off his face and said, "Father and the others went to Wangxingzhai on the other side of the stone bridge."
The figure of Feng Qingluan flashed through Xie Jin’s mind, and he quickly leaped over there.
At the stone bridge, after Wei You crossed the chasm, there were still a few assassins left. They were still trying to figure out how to reach Wangxingzhai on the opposite side. Xie Jin came with the imperial guards and captured them alive.
Xie Jin leaped and flew to the opposite side.
In Wangxingzhai, the emperor, concubines and officials were all there.
"Brother Emperor, I am late in coming to your rescue. All the assassins have been strangled and captured. It is safe outside now."
With Xie Jin's words, everyone in Wangxingzhai finally felt relieved.
Emperor Xia Ming was wearing eunuch's clothes, with a gloomy face:
"What happened today? Why did you come just now?"
Xie Jin said: "It's a long story, my brother, the stone bridge has been broken, and Commander Chi is trying to find a way to take you down."
He looked around the crowd but didn't see Feng Qingluan.
When the queen heard that they were saved, she said to Xie Jin, "Prince Rong, it was all thanks to Princess Chu who blew up the stone bridge, otherwise we would all be in danger. In order to lure away the assassin leader, Princess Chu changed into your Majesty's clothes and led him to the back mountain. Send someone to rescue her quickly."
Xie Jin's brows tightened. Wei You was the Wolf King of the Karen Kingdom, a martial arts master. Feng Qingluan actually had the courage to lead him away. She didn't want to live anymore!
Emperor Xia Ming also ordered: "Prince Rong, the Princess of Chu risked her life to save me, you must bring her back safely!"
Xie Jin said, "Yes, my royal brother, the Crown Prince and the King of Chu will be here soon. I will go find her right away."
He not only wanted to bring Feng Qingluan back, but also wanted to capture Wei You.
He has to find someone to settle accounts with for today's large-scale attack!
