[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 78 Surprise attack [English]

“How’s it going?”

In the Prince’s Mansion, Lin Wanqing had changed into narrow-sleeved clothes, and her long hair was tied high into a ponytail on top of her head.

Ye Qing just came back from outside, covered in wind and snow. He casually brushed off the snow on his shoulders and returned, “A beacon fire has been set off on the city wall. The garrison outside the city will rush to help when they see it. There are not many rebels attacking the city, and they will be wiped out soon when the garrison arrives.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about.” She said, the burning color between her eyebrows not diminishing by half.

After a while, Lin Wanqing asked again, “Is there any news from the palace?”

Ye Qing shook his head.

Looking out from the attic window, the lanterns of Daming Palace are still shining in the wind and snow.The night was as thick as ink, covering it heavily, making people breathless.

Outside Shengjing City, there are no less than 50,000 elite troops stationed, and they can arrive within two-quarters of an hour.By then, annihilating the rebels who have mixed in with the civilians will naturally not be a problem.

But she could think of this, couldn’t King Liang think of it?

The reason why he did this was obviously not to attack the city, but to delay the attack.

Two quarters of an hour.

So, what does he need these two quarters of an hour to do?

Lin Wanqing’s thoughts were chaotic and she had no clue.She casually picked up the velvet cloak on one side, turned around and rushed down to the attic.

I don’t know if it was fog or smoke, but there was a vast expanse of white in front of me. The air was filled with a choking smell, which stung her mouth and nose.

Ye Qing and Lai Lu followed behind until Lin Wanqing pushed open the red lacquered door of the Prince’s Mansion.

“Lin Lushi!” Ye Qing was stunned and quickly grabbed her, “Where are you going?”

Lin Wanqing ignored him, shook off He’s hand, and already had one foot out the door.

“Lin Lushi!” Ye Qing rushed forward, grabbed the doorpost with both hands, and blocked her back. “It’s too dangerous to go out now! Don’t worry! The rebels can’t attack Shengjing City. Wait until the garrison comes to help…”

“But I’m afraid he won’t be able to wait for the garrison!”

A sharp shout interrupted Ye Qing’s words. Lin Wanqing was startled and found that her face was already cold.

Why didn’t she think that Su Moyi asked her to stay in the Prince’s Mansion and stop running around because he was going to do something dangerous.He has always thought very highly of himself. If it wasn’t a difficult matter, why would he leave Ye Qing to protect her?

However, he is obviously the one who needs protection more!

Her heart was tightly grasped, painful and painful. Lin Wanqing stood for a while, feeling out of breath.

Lai Luo listened to her in everything, but she blocked her, and Ye Qing couldn’t stop Lin Wanqing. The three of them pulled each other to the street.

The wind and snow were mixed with the whinnying and the sound of horse hooves, rushing towards the face. Occasionally, the Imperial Guards hurried past in front of them. Every household in Shengjing City had its doors closed, and the usually bustling streets seemed empty and chaotic.

Lin Wanqing wiped her wet face and ran towards the Daming Palace.

“Lin Lushi!” Ye Qing pulled her back again, “The Daming Palace has already issued the key. Even if it wasn’t there, you wouldn’t be able to get in. Besides, there are Qianniu Guards in the palace. Even if there are rebels sneaking in, it won’t be a big deal.”

“Let me go!” Lin Wanqing suddenly turned around and shook off Ye Qing’s hand, her voice choked with sobs.

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, opened her door in a daze, paused, and then followed her as she ran towards the Daming Palace without thinking.

The palace door was indeed unlocked, and you couldn’t see clearly from below.

When several people were about to run closer, a rocket pierced the darkness and plunged into the ground in front of them.

Someone shouted from above, telling them not to come any closer.

“Lin Lu’s matter,” Ye Qing persuaded nicely: “They won’t let anyone in. We might as well trust the adults for once and go back and wait for the news…”

A shocking loud noise came from the inner palace, and the unfinished words were cut off in his throat.

The three of them were startled at the same time and looked up at the majestic palace building.I saw a corner of the inner palace suddenly burst into flames, lighting up almost half of the palace.

Lin Wanqing felt a buzzing in his ears and then it exploded.

She guessed correctly.

There is a huge disparity in strength between the rebels and the imperial court, and there is no chance of victory in a hard attack.If it is a last-ditch battle, we should take it by surprise and concentrate all our efforts on a small attack. We should not deliberately delay time like this.If this continues, their chances of winning will only become slimmer.

Therefore, the siege is just to attack the east and the west.

First try to hold back the 30,000 forbidden troops in the city, and then attack their key points, trying to kill them with one blow.

Only if Emperor Yonghui dies, will King Liang have a chance of winning in this chaos.

So…

My heart suddenly felt empty, as if I suddenly missed a step when going down the stairs.

Will Emperor Yonghui die?

What about Su Moyi?

The cold wind whizzed by, hurting his face like a knife, biting into his skin bit by bit.With her nails deeply embedded in her flesh, Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

If Su Moyi and Emperor Yonghui are really trapped, she is their only hope now.

Su Moyi only has her.

Lin Wanqing quickly wiped away her tears, calmed her mind, and retreated to a slightly snowy area under the palace wall. She picked up a broken branch and began to draw on it.

There are not many rebels. There are less than 10,000 people attacking the city now, and even fewer can sneak into the palace.

Even if they have explosives, they still need someone to place and ignite them, so they must first control the Qianniu Guard in the inner palace.

But what to do?

The hand holding the broken branch quickly drew on the snow. No, the other hand touched it and started from the beginning again.The fingertips were red from the cold, they had no feeling, and it was almost impossible to hold anything.

Judging from the current situation, Qian Niuwei should be controlled somewhere together with Yonghui Emperor Su Moyi.Once anyone among them leaves, King Liang will blow up the place and die with everyone.

However, why did no one among the inner palace guards notice such a conspicuous thing like explosives?

Even now, when the emperor is trapped, if the forbidden army in the city does not know that in addition to the Qianniu Guards, there are chamberlains and palace attendants in the palace, wouldn’t anyone among them find out?

The snow was still falling, like a falling hourglass. As time passed by, Lin Wanqing became increasingly uneasy.

hourglass, time…

Two quarters of an hour…

“Crack!”

The branch made a crisp sound and was severed from the middle. Lin Wanqing’s hand reduced its strength and suddenly stopped.

“Ye Qing!”

She suddenly grabbed Ye Qing’s hand, her pupils trembling, “The emperor is hosting a banquet at Linde Hall tonight?”

Ye Qing was shocked and nodded in confusion.

Linde Palace, Taiye Pond, the explosives that no one discovered, and the two quarters of hours that King Liang deliberately delayed…

The melon-shaped palace lanterns swinging on the palace wall cast halos on the snow, blurring and unreal.

Lin Wanqing was not completely sure, but she raised her head and looked at the burning sky behind her.

She remembered that night, also in such a fire, Su Moyi broke the sword on horseback and suddenly stood in front of her.

Opposite is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and there is only one man and one horse.

A gust of wind blew her nose and eyes, and she suddenly understood the kind of devotion and surrender that Su Moyi wanted.

It was a kind of arrogance that she couldn’t understand and tried her best to avoid.

But it wasn’t until this moment that she realized that the value of love lies in its arrogance.

The kind of arrogance that dares to confront tens of millions of people in the world.

“You guys…” She turned to look at Lai Luo and Ye Qing, and whispered, “Do you believe me?”

Lai Luo and Ye Qing nodded at the same time with firm expressions.

Lin Wanqing smiled and said to Ye Qing: “Go to Dali Temple and ask someone to wait for me at Taiye Pond.”

Yan Bi turned around and ran towards Taiye Pond with Lai Luo.

“What are you going to do, Lin Lu?”

Ye Qing’s voice came from far behind, so misty that it almost seemed to be blown away in the impenetrable darkness.

Lin Wanqing smiled and did not look back. Across the light and snow, she said, “I’m going to save people!”

She wants to save people.

She wants to save the one she loves.

*
Tonight, Taiye Pond was as calm as ever, glowing with sparkling light in the cold wind.

Linde Hall is located on a small slope beside Taiye Pool. It has a pleasant scenery and overlooks the pool. Therefore, it has always been a place for royal banquets.

Lin Wanqing took Lailuo around the edge of the pool and began to take off her clothes.

Lai Luo was so frightened that she hugged her quickly, “It’s such a cold day, what are you doing?!”

Lin Wanqing broke free from her shackles, took off her thick outer cloak, threw it at her feet and said, “If you are not allowed to enter the palace gate, I will swim over.”

Lai Luo’s already big eyes suddenly widened into copper bells.

Swim over?

In this world of ice and snow, with the wind and snow blowing, wearing too few clothes would be fatal, let alone swimming to the other side from the Taiye Pond covered with thin ice…

Lai Luo swallowed his saliva and took a step back imperceptibly.

Lin Wanqing in front of him neatly took off all the heavy clothes on his body, leaving only a thin middle coat.She put on a black short coat and walked towards the pool without looking back.

Lai Luo, who has been around the world for many years and is used to seeing fights and the flash of swords, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth at this moment, and suddenly felt that Lin Wanqing was both respectable and formidable.

A woman who dares to be cruel to herself is really terrible.

“Wait for Ye Qing here, and tell them that I will go to the Linde Hall first.” Lin Wanqing ordered, and with a “pop” sound, he plunged into the Taiye Pool.

In the middle of winter, you get a chill when you hit the water, as cold as ten thousand sharp knives cutting through your skin.

Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but shudder.

In order to prevent herself from freezing, she immediately used all her hands and feet to swim towards the other side.

It takes half a stick of incense to go from Taiye Pond to Linde Hall.

Most of the Qianniu Guards will be arranged in the Linde Hall in order to capture King Liang and his escort.

In this way, Liang Wang first threatened with an explosion.

Because the emperor was present, no one dared to act rashly.Then he can control the Qianniu Guard outside Linde Hall with a small number of rebels.

The two quarters of an hour that he wants to grab is the time for the rebels to get everything ready after taking control of the Qianniu Guard.

He couldn’t bring those explosives in openly from the main entrance of the palace, so he had to use the old method of smuggling from Hongzhou official mines, seal the things with paraffin, and quietly hide them in the Taiye Pond.

This is why no one has been able to discover it so far.

But reaching this point, it can be regarded as his last resort, and both the jade and the stone are destroyed.

While thinking about it, Lin Wanqing had already swam to the shore.

There was silence in Linde Hall, no sound could be heard, only the firelight projected from it could be seen from a distance, spreading silently all over the ground.There was no one around, so it seemed like the rebels didn’t have full control of the situation yet.

The cold wind passed by, and the body was already frozen to the point of losing consciousness.She gritted her teeth and plunged into the water again.

Taiye Pond is so big, although the explosives must be hidden here, it still takes a lot of effort to find them.

Lin Wanqing could only bury herself in the water and touch it inch by inch.From the beginning, I breathed every ten breaths, and gradually changed to every three breaths.

His physical strength and mind were gradually frozen over time, and his hands and feet gradually became inoperable.

But she never stopped.

The cold Taiye Pond was as silent as an abyss.The slight noise she made inside was like a young butterfly that was overestimating its capabilities and tried to fly out of its shackles, but in the end it could only be dragged down, falling again and again…

I heard buzzing in my ears, and a white light appeared in front of my eyes.At the last moment when her consciousness dissipated, her hand touched a smooth object. The touch was different from any stone she had touched just now.

It turns out to be here…

She thought vaguely that she was indeed hiding in Taiye Pond.

But she was so cold that she could no longer swim back to the shore, nor could she cry out for help.

“Jing Che…”

With the last murmur, overwhelming amounts of ice water poured into her mouth and nose.
