Chapter 515 Birthday Banquet Assassination
Ning Chen took the order, picked up the repeating crossbow, and pointed it at the red lacquer pillar in the distance.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
A series of crossbow arrows were shot out with a piercing sound, and they were nailed to the pillar with a clanging sound.
The officials were in an uproar!
This was the first time they had seen a crossbow that could fire continuously.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Eunuch Quan and Nie Liang's eyes shone.
This repeating crossbow is indeed a good thing. It can be used to attack when advancing, and it can be defended when retreating!
"How about Quan Sheng?"
Emperor Xuan only felt that it was very powerful and turned to ask Eunuch Quan.
Eunuch Quan leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, if all the imperial guards are equipped with repeating crossbows, even the top masters in the world will not be able to get even half a step closer to your Majesty."
Emperor Xuan Longyan was delighted.
"Ning Chen, this gift is deeply appreciated by me!"
"Ji Aiqing, hurry up and build it!"
Ji Mingchen hurriedly accepted the order, "I obey the order!"
Emperor Xuan waved, "Ning Chen, come here!"
Ning Chen came to the Long Case.
"Quansheng, bring him a chair, sit next to me, and drink with me."
"yes!"
My father-in-law brought me a chair.
Ning Chen sat beside the dragon table.
The princes and ministers were full of envy.
No one has ever had the honor of sitting with His Majesty.
You should know that even the prince sat with the princes and ministers.
Emperor Xuan glanced at Quan Sheng and said, "Let's start!"
Quan Sheng stepped forward and said, "Play music!"
Silk music sounded.
The dancing girl entered the palace and danced gracefully.
These dancers are all carefully selected by the Ministry of Etiquette. They all have graceful figures and outstanding looks.
The small waist that was grasped by Yingying was twisted, which was simply enchanting.
"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a drink and wish you a long life!"
"Come."
Emperor Xuan picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ning Chen, I can still celebrate this birthday, thanks to you... Ning Chen, Ning Chen?"
"Ah?" Ning Chen turned around blankly.
Emperor Xuan stared at him, "Does it look good?"
Ning Chen nodded honestly, "It looks good...but with their bellies exposed, won't they catch colds and have diarrhea?"
Emperor Xuan: "..."
"You and your brain are different from others, your ideas are very clear, right?"
Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "If you like them, I will send them to your house later."
Ning Chen shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want it."
"Um?"
"It costs a lot of money to raise them. I am too poor to afford them!"
Emperor Xuan glared at him speechlessly.
"By the way, a poem appeared in the capital recently. Have you heard about it?"
Eunuch Quan suddenly felt something in his heart. He knew what poem His Majesty was talking about?
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is talking about the Crowned Dragon?"
Emperor Xuan nodded, "It seems you have heard about it?"
Ning Chen hummed, "The first two sentences are okay, but the last two sentences are nonsense. They're mediocre and wrong."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "This poem is for you."
"I know, I have already thought of a countermeasure."
"tell me the story."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "I plan to change my name... From now on, I will be called I would rather die than surrender, and I would rather break than bend."
Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched.
"Why don't you just call me Ning Que Wu Cha?"
Ning Chen had a cute face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"
Emperor Xuan glared at him and said, "I have already sent people to investigate. The person who wrote the poem has a heart that can be punished."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I'm right. I do have power over the government and the public."
Father-in-law Quan was startled.
Good guy, do you really dare to say anything?
Emperor Xuan snorted and said with some pride: "Your power is all given by me."
"That's natural. I am just a paper kite. The string is in your Majesty's hand. It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to let me fly into the sky or land on the ground."
Emperor Xuan couldn't help laughing, and immediately said: "But recently, there have been many people involved in this matter with you."
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Why don't your Majesty demote me... I'm a big tree now."
"How about I demote you to a commoner?"
"Your Majesty, are you willing to do so? After all, it's hard to find an outstanding, filial, and loyal minister like me."
Emperor Xuan looked disgusted, but said with a smile: "That's true!"
"Wow...this waist is so soft, you can actually bend it like this."
Ning Chen looked at a dancing girl and exclaimed.
Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Don't be surprised. You are worthless and strange!"
Ning Chen had a naive smile on his face, "These dancers are beautiful and powerful. I wonder where the Ministry of Rites found them?"
"The one in the middle wearing a yellow skirt is so beautiful... The Ministry of Rites did not present it to His Majesty. He should be punished."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "I think the one in green clothes looks good."
Ning Chen shook his head, "That one is too thin. It looks good, but it's not useful."
Father-in-law Quan felt sweat break out on his forehead.
You, an emperor and a minister, are here talking about women unscrupulously... Is there really nothing in this world that you care about?
At this moment, several dancers joined hands and formed a sedan chair.
The dancer in the yellow skirt stood lightly on the sedan chair, her thin yellow skirt fluttering in the air.
The dancers below used their hands hard, and the dancer in yellow skirt above actually flew up.
Like a flying fairy from outside the sky, floating towards Emperor Xuan.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
The dancing girl in the air shook her wrists rapidly, and twisted her long sleeves into a rope, like a stick, with a sound of breaking through the air, and hit Emperor Xuan directly on the head.
Ning Chen snorted coldly, grabbed Emperor Xuan with one hand, kicked the dragon table with his foot, and slid out at the same time.
Bang! ! !
Ning Chen's rope-bound sleeves hit the dragon table... The dragon table was smashed into two pieces.
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
"Protect your majesty!"
"Protect your majesty quickly!"
The scene was in chaos.
Ning Chen and Eunuch Quan protected Emperor Xuan.
Nie Liang led the imperial guards and began to encircle the yellow-skirted dancer.
Bang bang bang! ! !
The yellow-skirted dancer's hand was really amazing. The water sleeves turned into cloth sticks and directly swept away the two imperial guards who rushed over.
Emperor Xuan was not panicked, but his face was extremely ugly. He said in a deep voice: "Catch them alive!"
"Yes!"
Nie Liang accepted the order.
Bang bang bang! ! !
Several more imperial guards were swept away by the cloth sticks.
Seeing that the assassination of Emperor Xuan was unsuccessful, the yellow-skirted dancer rushed directly to the prince, and smashed the prince with the cloth stick made of her sleeves.
The prince was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kicked his feet wildly and retreated in embarrassment.
Bang! ! !
The small low table in front of the prince was smashed into two pieces by the cloth stick, and the cloth stick fell on the prince's calf.
The prince let out a shrill scream.
Nie Liang waved his knife and stepped forward.
The yellow-skirted dancer swept across with her sleeves.
Nie Liang waved his knife, and the sleeves broke with a sound.
The yellow-skirted dancer staggered back.
Nie Liang slashed out two knives like lightning, forcing the yellow-skirted dancer to be in a mess.
Bang! ! !
Nie Liang took the opportunity to kick the yellow-skirted dancer, who was kicked out and fell in the center of the hall.
Before she could get up, the knife of the palace guard was already on her neck.
The woman in the yellow dress smiled bitterly, "I am ashamed of your kindness in training me. I will repay you in my next life... Take care, sir!"
"Be careful, she wants to commit suicide!"
Ning Chen shouted.
But it was too late. The dancer in the yellow dress grabbed the knife of a palace guard, and her white neck hit the blade directly, and the bright red blood flowed along the blade.
