   Chapter 400 Night Attack (1)

   There is no doubt that this king's servants are playing tricks.

Empress Qiao's face was gloomy as water, and she said coldly: "I pass the order from the palace, and immediately block the gate of the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace. Immediately search for the figure of the king's servant, live to see people, die to see corpses ."

  The palace staff respectfully took orders.

  Not long after it got dark, the palace gate was blocked and no one was allowed to go in and out. Even the Queen Mother Zhao was disturbed by this kind of movement.

   Empress Dowager Zhao came to the East Palace in person.

   Queen Qiao did not stop Empress Dowager Zhao and let Empress Dowager Zhao enter the house.

Empress Dowager Zhao saw with her own eyes Brother Jue, who was dying in the medicine bucket, and her anger went straight to her mind. For the first time in her life, she was in the same camp as Queen Qiao: "What **** is this, how dare you do something to Brother Jue! Come out, Aijia will kill him!"

   Sister Xuan was awakened by the angry shouts, opened her eyes and started crying again.

   Princess Hui'an coaxed her with all her might, but Sister Xuan refused to ask for it, so she cried and called Mother Yun.

   Princess Hui'an had to ask Qiyun to come over: "It's already messy enough here, and it's useless for you to stay here. You go and coax sister Xuan to sleep first."

   Empress Dowager Zhao and Queen Qiao are all there, and Princess Hui'an, all the imperial physicians are always watching over them, she is really no longer needed here.

  Qiyun gave orders in a low voice, hugged Sister Xuan who was crying, and before leaving, she turned to look at Brother Jue. His eyes turned red again.

  Before leaving, the master entrusted her with both brother and sister. When she was negligent for a while, someone took advantage of it. Fortunately, Brother Jue's life was not in danger, otherwise, she would have no face to see the master.

   Qiyun carried Sister Xuan back to the house and patted Sister Xuan on the back.

Sister    Xuan found a sense of security in the familiar embrace, and finally stopped crying. She also stretched out her little hand and wiped away tears for Qiyun.

  Qiyun sniffed, and put her head against the little sister Xuan's head.

  …

  Empress Dowager Zhao was never a calm and rational person. Once she became angry and her temper flared up, she couldn't stop for a while.

She first scolded the **** who wanted to harm Brother Jue's evil intentions, and then scolded the servants who did not serve well, and quickly blamed Lu Mingyu: "What about the people from the Lu family? Brother Jue looks like this, her mother is sick again. She should also come and watch. With such a big movement, she will die of illness!"

   Queen Qiao couldn't listen any longer, and said in a low voice, "Mom, calm down. Mrs. Lu left the palace two days ago!"

What?

   Empress Dowager Zhao was shocked, Huo Ran looked at Queen Qiao: "What is Lu's doing out of the palace?"

   Queen Qiao refused to say clearly: "Elder Qiao and all the ministers know about Lu's departure from the palace, as well as the fifth prince. Exactly why, please forgive my daughter-in-law for not being able to say."

Empress Dowager Zhao was so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded her angrily: "Everything is more important than a pair of children! She is also a mother, so how could she leave the child and run out of the palace. If Brother Jue has any good or bad, Aijia can't forgive her. she!"

   "You are a mother-in-law, and your temperament is too soft. Everything is up to Lu's temperament, let her mess around..."

   Empress Dowager Zhao splashed, no one could stand it.

Princess Hui'an felt distressed for her mother, and couldn't help but say: "Grandma, don't scold the queen. The queen is still ill. She has been taking care of the palace affairs for the past two days, and she is still up tonight. sadder than anyone else."

   Empress Dowager Zhao snorted, looked at Queen Qiao's tragic face, and finally swallowed the rest of her words.

  The water in the medicine bucket is getting colder.

   Zhou Yuan and Imperial Physician Li brought warm potions and slowly poured them into the medicine barrel.

  Brother Jue was already unconscious, soaked in warm potion, and soon fell asleep. Queen Qiao had no strength, and Princess Huian sat down by the bucket and held Brother Jue firmly.

  About half an hour later, Cailan reported back and forth, "Reporting to the Empress, the corpse of Wang's servant was found in the pond. There are no scars on her body, her face is dark, and she must have died from poisoning."

   Did the palace servant take the poison himself, or was someone poured the poison into the pond?

   Queen Qiao's face completely sank, and she said coldly: "Go to the palace and find out the cause of death of the king's servant."

  …

   The night is getting darker.

  The military tents of the Yan army are densely packed. From a distance, it looks like a large grave is next to each other. It was shrouded in darkness, and there were occasional sounds.

   Lu Mingyu, who was wearing a black night clothes, quietly crouched in the grass, waiting for the opportunity.

  Two days ago, she led the guards of the Lu Mansion out of the city gate, and then went to the Lujia Grange to gather all the secret guards.

   In order to get around behind the Yan army, she led 2,000 dark guards all the way, and ran for more than 300 miles.

   In order to hurry, everyone carried three days of dry food with them. Eat dry food when you are hungry, drink cold water when you are thirsty.

   Before dark, stop twenty miles away to recuperate.

   After dark, the Yan army called Jin to withdraw his troops and returned to the barracks.

  Lu Mingyu stopped riding horses and walked on foot in the dark. A group of people rushed outside the military tent of the Yan army at the third watch.

  The Yan army was heavily defended, and even in the middle of the night, there were people patrolling. The dark guards quietly dispersed, lying in the dark. The world slipped by little by little, and the night was so dark that it couldn't be dissolved.

   Four more updates.

   was the time when Yan Jun slept the most soundly.

  The soldiers of the Yan army who patrolled were not made of iron either. Even the soldiers on the watchtower were dozing off.

  Because of human inertia, most of the patrolling directions of the Yan army are in the direction of Zhengdemen. To prevent Dawei soldiers from suddenly opening the city gate and attacking at night.

  No one thought that there was a group of people lurking behind the barracks.

   "Over there is the Yan army's forage."

   Lu Yi tried his best to keep his voice low, and entered Lu Mingyu's ears: "The children are all ready, just waiting for the mother's order."

   Attacking the barracks at night, to make the barracks in chaos in the shortest time, the best way is to burn food and grass. Generally speaking, most of the food and grass are hidden behind the barracks.

  Lu Yi led a few guards to sneak into the vicinity of the barracks to observe for a long time, and finally determined the location of the food and grass.

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and gave an order in a low voice: "Pass my order, the first team will be responsible for burning food and grass, and the rest will follow me to attack the main general's tent at night."

  2,000 dark guards, divided into four teams of 500 men each.

  These dark guards were trained by the Lu family for several years. All of them are excellent in skill, and they are not afraid of death, and they can beat ten with one. In the battle tonight, the Lu family's secret guards poured out their money and fought hard to the end. I don't know how many people would survive.

  Lu Mingyu's nose was a little sour, and he quickly forgot all his emotions and led a group of dark guards to sneak outside the barracks.

  The dark guards came prepared, and they all had special oil arrows in their hands. After the arrow is ignited, it can burn a stick of incense, which cannot be extinguished by water, unless it can be extinguished with sand, which is extremely domineering.

  Lu B pointed a fuel arrow, aimed in the direction of the grain, and shot it.

   Hundreds of flaming arrows shot out in salvo.
