Chapter 47: The Assassination Failed

Feng Ruoxiang sneaked into the Taiwei Mansion and hid on a big tree in the courtyard. The Taiwei Mansion was indeed very cautious and one stop in ten steps. Since receiving Du Chongwei's secret letter, Du Chongwei not only made careful arrangements in the capital, but also arranged heavy troops to guard his own mansion. Feng Ruoxiang stayed on the tree for an hour and did not find a chance to start. At this time, Du Chi walked under the tree and sighed, sitting on the stone bench and said to himself: "Father did not let Cui Xin be with me, how could he know that Cui Xin only has Le Yiyang in his heart, how could he be my turn?" Feng Ruoxiang was slightly surprised after hearing this and thought to himself: "Young Master Le is so good, of course there are many people who like him."

Feng Ruoxiang saw that Taiwei Du's son was under the tree, and before he could think too much, he had already flew down to capture him. Du Chi was in a daze, but he didn't expect that there was an assassin on the tree. Suddenly, the soldiers behind him called out: "Young Master, be careful!" Du Chi looked up and sat on the ground in fear. Feng Ruoxiang's long sword was less than three feet above his head. Du Chi hurriedly raised the stone to hold it over. Feng Ruoxiang pierced the stone and cut through Du Chi's palm. He was about to swing the sword to stab him in his arm, but was stopped by the big sword of the soldiers who rushed over.

Du Chi looked for the gaps in the fight and crawled out in a mess and fled back to the room. Du Chongwei did not expect that an assassin also entered his mansion. He thought it was Tuoba Jiyu who came to find the gap. He took out a series of swords and jumped into the yard, and ordered everyone to retreat. Feng Ruoxiang had stabbed several people, and everyone gradually could not resist it. Suddenly, he saw Du Chongwei coming out with his sword, and they all quickly retreated to the surroundings.

Du Chongwei looked at Feng Ruoxiang carefully and said, "Little girl, are you Tuoba Jiyu's people?" Feng Ruoxiang sneered and refused to answer. Du Chongwei asked again, "Since it is not, what deep hatred do we have? You are going to hurt my child's life?" Feng Ruoxiang said, "I didn't want to hurt your son, he hit the tip of the knife by himself." Du Chongwei didn't hear anything in her words, and said angrily: "It's really a bit unreasonable! If there is a way in heaven, you don't go, and if you don't have a way in hell, you can break through. Today, you can't escape." Feng Ruoxiang laughed and said, "You admit that this is hell, and I want to disturb me here." Du Chongwei was furious and shouted, "Bold!" A big knife has flown up Feng Ruoxiang. Since Du Chongwei was assassinated by Letianzang, he has found martial arts masters to teach sword techniques to protect themselves. Over the past ten years, his martial arts have increased greatly.

Du Chongwei's chain knife was about two feet long and more than ten inches wide. There were dozens of iron rings on the back of the knife, as the name suggests, "chain sword". Feng Ruoxiang saw Du Chongwei coming very quickly, and the iron ring was jingling and sounded soaring into her ears, turning over and avoiding a blow. Du Chongwei raised the sword to attack in front of her, Feng Ruoxiang avoided her back, and the long sword stabbed into the iron ring. Du Chongwei waved his arm hard, and Feng Ruoxiang held the sword in his hand tightly, and was overturned to the ground. Du Chongwei's big sword cut at her head. Feng Ruoxiang subconsciously raised the sword to block it, but felt a numbness on his right wrist, and the long sword had been cut into several pieces.

Du Chongwei threw the one in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and competed with Feng Ruoxiang with bare hands. The two of them had less than ten moves, and Feng Ruoxiang could no longer resist. Du Chongwei became more and more brave as he fought. Feng Ruoxiang had retreated to the stone table under the tree. Feng Ruoxiang turned around and hid under the stone bench. Du Chongwei jumped out of the sky and knocked a hole in the wall. Feng Ruoxiang's swordsmanship was not his opponent, so he flew towards the wall. Du Chongwei reached out and grabbed her right foot and pulled it back hard. Feng Ruoxiang couldn't help but retreat. Feng Ruoxiang tapped the ground with his right hand and stood up. Du Chongwei grabbed her arm and asked, "Little girl, should you tell me who sent you this time?" Feng Ruoxiang snorted, but still refused to answer.

Du Chongwei had no choice but to slap the acupoint on Feng Ruoxiang's chest and back, and asked the soldiers in the mansion to send them to Kaifeng Prefecture for strict interrogation.

When Le Yiyang and Lai Ji Yun came to the Taiwei Mansion, Feng Ruoxiang had already been sent to Kaifeng Mansion. The two immediately entered the palace to meet the concubine. The palace guards saw that Le Yiyang had a gold medal for avoiding death, so they did not dare to stop him. They came straight to Nuanfang Palace. Lu Siyi didn't know where Feng Ruoxiang had gone, so she had already asked Bei Yuanqing to search in the palace. She was sitting in the palace and worried.

Le Yiyang went forward to deliver the tribute and told the story in detail. After hearing this, Lu Siyi was shocked and said to Le Yiyang: "Thank you, Mr. Le, come and tell me." Le Yiyang said: "How could Miss Feng make a grudge with Du Chongwei for the first time in the capital?" Lu Siyi replied: "This matter is hard to describe. The Wuling Mountain where Xianger lives is in Tanzhou, and is one of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Ten years ago, Jin State ceded the Khitans to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Over the years, the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been oppressed by the Khitans and have lived a very hard life. Xiang'er saw it, and of course she hated Du Chongwei and others in her heart, so she had the idea of ​​assassinating him." Lai Jiyun said: "Now Du Chongwei is still majestic and blessed. If my senior brother came to Kaifeng, he would never let this old thief go."

Seeing that the woman who was talking was only seventeen or eighteen years old, Lu Siyi wanted to understand a lot of things in the world, and asked, "Little girl, you actually called Du Chongwei an old thief. Aren't you afraid of him?" Lai Ji Yun replied, "The Concubine, Yun'er has been growing up in Luzhou. She doesn't know any Taiwei. She only knows bad people and bad people will be punished." Lu Siyi said, "Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish between good people and bad people. Are you right?" Lai Ji Yun said lightly: "After all, good people are good people, and no matter how deep the bad people hide, they are bad people." Lu Siyi smiled and said, "Well, you are so cute, whose disciple is you?" Lai Ji Yun said, "Master doesn't like people to know his name." Lu Siyi waved and said, "Forget it, if you don't ask so many of you, you will naturally meet in the future."

Le Yiyang asked softly, "Empress Concubine, do you have any countermeasures for Miss Feng?" Lu Siyi said, "Xiang'er is now in Dali Temple. I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to let them release people tomorrow." Le Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is great." After saying that, he handed the gold medal in his arms to Lu Siyi.

Bi Yuanqing came back from outside. Lu Siyi said, "Qing'er, your senior sister went to assassinate Du Chongwei at night and was captured. We will go to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow." Bi Yuanqing showed a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Le Yiyang and looked at Ji Yun beside her. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Le Yi raised her head and said, "Empress Concubine, Qing sister, it's already the third update at night, so we won't disturb you." Lu Siyi asked Bi Yuanqing to see him off.

The three of them came to the door, and Le Yiyang instructed: "Miss Feng has caused a big disaster this time. I hope you can rescue her tomorrow." Bi Yuanqing opened his red lips slightly and said: "Mr. Le, it is her blessing to meet a man like you. Since the master promised to go to Kaifeng Mansion, there must be her way." Le Yiyang and Lai Ji Yun left Nuanfang Palace. Bi Yuanqing looked at the two of them leaving behind before he came back to his senses and closed the door.

The next morning, Lu Siyi and Bei Yuanqing came to Kaifeng Prefecture. Cao Tieshi learned that the concubine was here, and hurriedly led Mei Jiutong and other yamen runners out to greet him. Lu Siyi asked, "Master Cao, Feng Ruoxiang is the apprentice of this palace. Have you locked her up there?" Cao Tieshi possessed her and replied, "Miss Feng is your apprentice? I really don't know, I hope the concubine will atone for her sins?" Lu Siyi said, "It's not your business, why are you guilty?" Cao Tieshi knelt down and said, "Weijing deserves to die the most. The prince of the Taiwei was pierced by the right hand yesterday and was so painful that he didn't sleep all night. This morning, the Taiwei came to ask for someone in person, saying that he would execute Miss Feng at noon to relieve his hatred."

Lu Siyi said angrily: "Du Chongwei is brave, and the emperor dares to do anything wrong." Cao Tieshi said carefully: "Stop the anger of the concubine, Du Taiwei is a first-rank official, Miss Feng actually assassinated him, and according to the laws and regulations of the State of Great Jin, do it..." Lu Siyi said: "What are you doing? Just say it out." Cao Tieshi hesitated and looked back at Mei Jiutong. Mei Jiutong stepped forward and replied: "Report to the Concubine, follow the laws and regulations of the State of Great Jin.

Miss Feng should be killed." Lu Siyi was shocked after hearing this and said, "Do you know about this?" Mei Jiutong replied, "Your Majesty only needs to be dealt with in Kaifeng Prefecture, without disturbing the emperor." Lu Siyi said, "I have the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death, is this OK?" Mei Jiutong said, "Of course the gold medal for avoiding death is possible. But noon is coming soon, so please hurry up the time." Cao Tie was really timid, with a smile on his face.

Lu Siyi and Bei Yuanqing left Kaifeng Prefecture. Lu Siyi said, "Qing'er, you'll warm up the Fang Palace first. There are some things to do for your master." Bi Yuanqing knew that Lu Siyi had decided and said, "Master, the execution ground is very strict, be careful." Lu Siyi nodded, turned around and left quickly.

When Bei Yuanqing said goodbye to his master, he was about to return to the palace, but he met Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun. Bei Yuanqing told the two of them that Cao Tieshi and Mei Jiutong's words, and then returned to the palace alone.

Le Yiyang heard that Du Chongwei was going to kill Feng Ruoxiang today and said, "Yun'er, Miss Feng is in danger of her life, so we cannot stand by." Lai Jiyun agreed with Le Yiyang's words, thinking of the former senior brother Lu Zhicheng and his senior brother-sister friendship, and said, "Brother Yang, it's not time to go to the execution ground."

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun came to the street near the execution ground to inquire about the situation. The execution ground was surrounded by a circle of two meters of wooden stakes with a radius of twenty meters, with only a small door for entry and exit. At this time, people were already visiting. The two were thinking about how to move later to escape, but a loud gong and drum sounded. A group of heavily guarded soldiers came from the street opposite the execution ground, with more than a hundred people. They were escorting a carriage with cages and walking slowly. There was a woman and seventeen men on the prison carriage. The woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing black clothes, Feng Ruoxiang. At this time, she was dejected, with fluffy hair, sitting in the prison carriage.

The soldiers walked straight into the execution ground and pulled Feng Ruoxiang and others out of the prison car. Lai Ji Yun saw the situation in the execution ground, gritted his teeth, closed his lips, and could pull out the sword at his waist at any time. Le Yiyang quickly pressed him with his hand and whispered: "Yun'er, let's not alarm the snake!" Lai Ji Yun looked at the crowd around him, put his head close to Le Yiyang's ear, and said: "Brother Yang, I'll listen to you." Le Yiyang nodded.
