The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 389 Chaos
The father-in-law shook his head and said: "The palace is very safe. Even if these thieves are brave, they probably wouldn't dare to mess around in the palace."

After hearing what the father-in-law said, Lan Qin finally felt relieved, and said: "Then let's hurry up and go, don't make His Majesty wait too long."

In fact, without Lan Qin's orders, the father-in-law was also very fast. It seemed that he was very anxious, riding a horse and galloping ahead.

Lan Qin wanted to ask something more, but found that the father-in-law had no intention of communicating, so he had no choice but to urge the horse to catch up.

After passing the street in front, it was the imperial palace, and the father-in-law rode his horse and disappeared around the corner.

Lan Qin always had a premonition in his heart, and shouted at the father-in-law: "This father-in-law, wait a moment!"

Turning the corner, the father-in-law reined in the horse rope and said to Lan Qin: "What else is there for the general?"

"I don't know which courtyard my father-in-law works in. Why haven't I seen you before?" Lan Qin asked suspiciously.

"When is this, why does General Lan still care about such things?" The father-in-law said, frowning.

"Hey, it's the time like this, the more you can't be careless?" Lan Qin waved his hand and said.

The father-in-law looked at Lan Qin in front of him, and said softly, "General Lan doesn't believe in the identity of Miscellaneous Family?"

"Believe it or not, tell me first, if you don't tell me, how can you say I believe it or not?" Lan Qin said coldly.

"That's true, but it doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not!" Just as the father-in-law finished speaking, a dozen men in night clothes suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road.

"Who are you? How dare you assassinate this general? I think you don't want to live anymore!" Lan Qin said coldly, "If you are sensible, put down your weapons and surrender immediately. I can save your life..."

"Swish, swish..." More than a dozen people took out the crossbow arrows in their hands, and there was no unnecessary nonsense, and they just came up and shot indiscriminately.

Lan Qin didn't expect the opponent to shoot so decisively, there was no extra nonsense, and he immediately started shooting arrows.

After all, Lanqin is also a general and a daring man with high skills. At this time, facing more than a dozen crossbow arrows, he didn't have the slightest fear. He waved the long sword in his hand and kept chopping off the flying crossbow arrows.

"Bold, this is outside the imperial city, you dare to openly assassinate the minister of the court, I think you don't want to live, come someone..." Lan Qin shouted loudly.

"Come on, get rid of him quickly!" the father-in-law shouted loudly.

The crossbows in the hands of more than a dozen people are very powerful, and they are continuous crossbows. It is very difficult for Lanqin to resist at such a short distance.

It was lucky to resist the first wave of arrow rain. In the second wave of arrow rain, Lan Qin was hit by a few arrows. Although none of them hit the vital point, Lan Qin was injured.

"Ah, I'm going to tear you into pieces!" Lan Qin knew that he only needed to hold on for a while, and the guards of the palace could rush out to save him.

But he felt that his body was a little weak.

"No, this arrow is poisonous!" This was Lanqin's first thought, which seemed to confirm his guess. Lanqin only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, even though the arrows hit the same position. It's not critical, but it has severely restricted his actions.

The third wave of arrows rained down, and Lan Qin was shot directly into a hedgehog.

"Who are you guys?" Lan Qin looked at the crowd in front of her and panted.

"Dead people don't need to know the answer!" The father-in-law came to Lan Qin's ear and whispered.

Lan Qin originally thought that the father-in-law came here to tell him the answer, but he didn't expect to say such a result. He opened his eyes wide, with an unbelievable expression on his face. This time, he could not rest in peace.

"Hurry up and clean up the scene. The movement here just now will definitely attract the Imperial Forest Army. Everyone disperses and gathers according to the original location!" The father-in-law man gave an order and said.

After saying this, everyone scattered and left, and quickly disappeared into the vast night, together with Lanqin's body.

Not long after everyone withdrew, a squad of Imperial Forest Army appeared here.

"Hey? I just heard someone shouting in this place, why is there nothing? Did you hear that just now?" asked the leading soldier.

"It seems that I heard someone shouting here just now?" A soldier behind him replied.

"It's really strange!" The leading soldier said suspiciously, "Look around carefully to see if there are any traces of fighting!"

After a while, a group of soldiers came back and found nothing.

"Could it be that I heard it wrong?" The odd soldier said suspiciously, he didn't find anything at this time, it seemed that he could only have heard it wrong.

"Let's go, be careful, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight, cheer me up!" the leading soldier ordered.

A group of people disappeared into the busy night.

Forbidden army camp.

Dozens of men in night clothes had already touched the gate of the Forbidden Army camp. According to the prior agreement, they were divided into two groups. One group would set fires everywhere, while the other group would take advantage of the chaos to rescue people.

Dozens of people ambushed around, patiently waiting for the anger.

After a while, someone shouted: "A lot, it's on fire, everyone, come and put out the fire!"

The lieutenant was really startled when he heard the shout. It must be unusual for him to catch fire at this time. After all, Lan Qin had specially told him before he left that someone would definitely come to rob the prison.

"General Soda, it's not good, the grain storage is on fire." A soldier hurried over and reported.

Soda took a deep breath, thought of Lan Qin's instructions, and said, "Why panic, hurry up and organize people to fight the fire, but the people here can't move."

The soldier didn't know the meaning of combing, so he hurriedly said: "General, the thief seems to have prepared for it. He sprinkled fire oil on the grain and grass. The fire is very big. I'm afraid it will not be easy to put out the fire!"

Soda thought clearly, even if all the food and grass were burned, Wanyan Zongbi must not be lost, otherwise his head would definitely be lost, so he said to the people next to him: "You, take ten people with you. Go to fight the fire, and the rest of the people will stand by me."

The person he pointed to took the time to leave with a dozen soldiers. The grain and grass depot of the imperial army was in the upper capital, and it was usually neglected. After all, no one would set fire to the grain and grass depot of the imperial army camp in the upper capital. , this time Wanyante really went all out in order to rescue Wanyan Zongbi.
