Chapter 545: Fierce Assassination

Jingwan turned her head and said something in Li Hongyuan's ear.

Li Hongyuan put down the glass, "I feel like going with you."

Jingwan "cautiously" glanced at Emperor Lecheng, thinking that she was seeking Emperor Lecheng's consent, but in fact she was attacked by someone with a bit of a bad taste, so she wanted to see Emperor Lecheng "change his face".

Emperor Lecheng decided to ignore it to the end, Jingwan felt a little regretful.

When the courtier met the emperor, he would be disrespectful in front of the imperial court, and he even drank less water, which was a sad reminder.

Jing Wan came out after changing her clothes, and there was still some moisture on her hands after being soaked in water.

Li Hongyuan stood under the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky. It was quiet and peaceful, and he imagined a beautiful picture with the flowers and trees outside the corridor.

It's just that when he turned his head, he smiled naturally, and the sense of distance disappeared.

Li Hongyuan stretched out his hand to Jingwan, and Jingwan put her hand in his palm and interlocked her fingers. Under the moonlight, her forehead touched and the tip of her nose touched. "A Yuan, I don't want to go back."

"Then don't go back. Otherwise, go directly out of the palace and go back to the palace, or go to the lantern market to enjoy the lanterns. If you are lucky, you might meet the Luo family." Anyway, Li Hongyuan knew very well that as long as he didn't touch the throne, his A good father and emperor now has a ridiculously high tolerance for him. If he doesn't make good use of it, he is sorry for himself.

"I don't want it anymore. Although you have already wiped his face clean, let's take it easy."

How should I put it, someone is so high-profile and has a sense of presence anytime, anywhere, but it is actually "wanting to cover up", but not many people know about it. The usurping of the throne in secret, playing so smoothly, how many are there in the past and present? However, there is that one who has come back, how many others? Thinking about it this way, the acceptance rate seems to be higher.

"What does it matter, no..." Li Hongyuan's voice stopped abruptly, looking at the place where the banquet was set up in the imperial garden, his eyes narrowed slightly, his feeling was indeed right, but he actually played this trick.

Li Hongyuan sneered.

"What's the matter?" Jing Wan was puzzled and looked in that direction as well.

"Something happened, listening to this news, it should be an assassin at the wedding banquet." Li Hongyuan said calmly.

Jingwan's eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly clenched Li Hongyuan's hand, "If something happened just when we were leaving, will this thing be framed on us?" It's not a coincidence if it's calculated.

"It's alright." Because he was not sure how many assassins came, and Li Hongyuan only brought two guards into the palace, Jingwan's situation is special now, and if there is a slight mistake, there may be a problem. Therefore, Li Hongyuan does not plan to go there at all.

Jingwan clearly saw what he was thinking, "A Yuan, being late is two different things."

"I know, but all those people add up, they can't compare to a single finger of yours."

"I'm glad you love me so much, but, if that's the case, we'll be in trouble in the future. Assassins are not guards, no matter how many they are, they won't get anywhere." At the critical moment, Jingwan's IQ was definitely on the line.

Li Hongyuan frowned, "Then you must follow me closely."

"do not worry."

Li Hongyuan pulled Jing Wan, followed by the black sister Gong mama, and two guards.

As they got closer, Jingwan also heard the noise, and the noise became more and more obvious.

The two suddenly rushed out from the side and happened to collide with Jingwan and the others. The two of them were stunned for a while, probably not expecting to encounter such a situation, and then they showed fierce eyes and slammed their hands across their chests. Under the light, there were obviously some bluish daggers, obviously smeared with poison and blood, and they rushed towards Jingwan and the others quickly.

To talk about a similar scene, this is not the first time Jingwan has encountered it, and she is not flustered, but holding Li Hongyuan's hand a little harder. Li Hongyuan's thumb rubbed soothingly on the back of her hand.

Gong Momo and Hei Mei didn't move, and the two guards went up to them without fear.

As a prince, although he can bring two guards into the palace, he still cannot carry weapons.

With bare hands, against two assassins with poisonous daggers in their hands, they don't know how poisonous the daggers are. If it's chronic, it's fine, but if they see blood sealing their throats, a small wound could kill Huangquan.

Li Hongyuan's two guards were both secret guards. They were better at dealing with this tricky stabbing technique than the orthodox martial arts. Although Jingwan didn't understand very well when you came and went, she also found out that they were two of the palace's two men. Individuals have the upper hand, but because of the opponent's poisonous dagger, they can't let go a little, otherwise, they may have been taken down.

The clothes of these two people are too obvious, just at a glance, you can tell that a dancer, a eunuch who is passing dishes in the imperial kitchen, obviously belong to the type of people who seem to be weak, but at this moment, it is abnormal to start. of ferocity. Although the two guards in Prince Jin's Mansion did not see blood, there were not a few places where their clothes were torn.

In the blink of an eye, there have been more than a dozen rounds.

Soon, Yu Zhongqing led a number of imperial guards to chase after him. When he saw the current situation, he joined in without saying a word. They had swords and had an absolute advantage in numbers. It was only time to take them down. The problem.

After Jingwan watched intently, Li Hongyuan suddenly let go of his hand, grabbed his waist and stepped back.

Seeing the bright knife slashing at Jingwan and the others, it turned out that there were also assassins in the Imperial Forest Army.

However, the assassins may have thought they were distracted. However, Li Hongyuan never let his guard down from beginning to end.

, he even only believed in himself, and divided his attention with two points behind him.

During the process of Li Hongyuan and Jingwan's rush to retreat, after all, there were two people, and their actions were hindered. , The knife obviously changed its direction, but it did not fall off. Taking a closer look, it turned out that the assassin wrapped the handle of the knife directly around his hand.

However, Li Hongyuan's kick was enough to crack the opponent's bones, causing severe pain. How could he continue to use the knife.

So much so that Li Hongyuan didn't do it anymore.

The assassin only thought he was being underestimated, seized the opportunity, and put his other hand into his arms, however, before he could take out the dagger in his arms, his eyes widened, showing disbelief, and then he confronted a pair of ruthless men. Eyes, and the owner of those eyes was actually a middle-aged woman. The assassin was unwilling, and his body fell to the ground softly.

Although the incident happened very quickly, Jing Wan could also see clearly that the assassin was only paying attention to them. Her husband didn't do anything, and she never thought that Mammy Gong would suddenly come out from the side and back. It was the first time I saw it on Mama Gong. While Madam Gong held the hairpin in her left hand and took the assassin's arms with her right hand, while the hairpin pierced through the side of the opponent's neck, the dagger was changed by Madam Gong and pierced directly into his body.

Grandma Gong stepped back without pulling out the hairpin.

This is not the first time I have seen such a scene. For Jing Wan, it is still a little stimulating. However, Jing Wan's eyes never look away. She looks at the person on the ground who is gradually losing their breath, and a pool of blood donations quickly appears under her feet. , and the blood from the neck kept overflowing down the hairpin. Obviously, this is the result of injuring the aorta in both places.

It's just that the lethality of the hairpin is too strong? Jingwan suddenly thought of a possibility, what if the shape of the hairpin was a three-edged thorn? Jingwan moved her gaze to the position where the hairpin and the assassin's neck were combined. Because her eyesight was very good, the light was not strong, and she could see clearly and clearly, sure enough!

"Grand Commander..."

A cry of exclamation attracted Jing Wan's gaze, Yu Zhongqing fell in front of his body and was stabbed firmly in the back, but he reacted quickly enough to turn around quickly and block the second slash.

Yu Zhongqing's eyes were cold, even if the other party was his "brother", he showed no mercy at this moment.

Jingwan's hand also clenched tightly. Obviously, there is more than one person in the Royal Forest Army who has a problem, but in the situation just now, everyone thought there was only one. , Perhaps knowing that it is unlikely to succeed against Li Hongyuan and Jing Wan, he chose Yu Zhongqing.

The previous "Dancer" and "Little Eunuch" were already at the end of the fight, and they were quickly taken down. Several imperial guards turned back to help Yu Zhongqing. Perhaps because of anger, the man was directly hacked to death.

And when everything was over, they stood there in a daze. However, the good brothers who used to hang shoulders with each other and rub their teeth together, but now they are not consciously alert to each other, and they are also carrying their own unawareness. I'm at a loss, obviously, because of what happened just now, it has become a bit of a dead end.

"You are the carefully selected Royal Forest Army, you have the emperor's trust, guarding the safety of the palace, and see what you look like now? You were in a hurry before, and you were taken advantage of by others. Not his own brother?" Yu Zhongqing didn't speak harshly, his voice was still calm, and it was also because of this calmness that the few imperial guards came back to their senses and quickly recovered.

Yu Zhongqing is not very well at the moment, his body is a little dazed, his body seems to be a little stiff, the wound on his back does not feel pain, but numbness, but, in the position below, he feels cool and a little sticky, it can be seen, Still bleeding.

"If you don't want to die, go to the imperial doctor and take a look." Li Hongyuan said indifferently.

Only then did the others realize that Yu Zhongqing was injured, and they all became anxious, so they all went to Yu Zhongqing again. The assassins on the ground were all thrown aside. Obviously, they seemed to have recovered. In fact, the side is still a little short, and it will appear to be a little out of control.

Li Hongyuan watched from the sidelines, so, in his opinion, although these imperial guards looked pretty good, the palace was basically stable, and these people still lacked a lot of things, and this psychological quality was not enough.

Yu Zhongqing also understood clearly, however, he is a little powerless now. "Don't worry about me, go and see..."

"Okay, leave two people behind, this king will help you deal with it, you should still take care of your own life."

"Thank you, my lord." Yu Zhongqing also knew that now was not the time to be brave. If he completely capsized this time, he would probably die, and he had not yet avenged his revenge.

Li Hongyuan did not care about the two guards who were at a loss, and asked the guards to determine the situation of several assassins.

Qian guard squatted down, stretched out his hand, and checked one by one, "Master, they are all dead."

"These two committed suicide by taking poison?" Li Hongyuan's eyes fell on the "dance girl" and the "little eunuch".

"Yes. However, instead of holding the poison sac in his mouth, he took the poison in advance."

Li Hongyuan pulled Jing Wan away, "It's cleaned up."

When I arrived at the place where the banquet was held, the whole place had become a mess, and there were cries as if the sky had collapsed. Because the princes and grandsons were still young, several died and countless injured. There were far more people lying on the ground than expected. Although it was impossible to tell which ones were assassins and which ones were victims based on their clothes, they could still be identified from their hands, and these people were basically at hand. All have swords.

Li Hongyuan swept it roughly, and the number of assassins was more than

It was expected to be many, all added up, and it was already in double digits. According to the four assassins they encountered, there should be no survivors.

However, even this is enough to show that there is a loophole in the guarding of the palace.

Regardless of whether the main responsibility this time lies on Zhong Qing, he will not die this time, and he will have to shed a layer of skin afterwards.

It's just that at this time, he should be in charge of the overall situation. Ling Ran is not afraid. Where are the people who show Tianwei?

The smell of blood was a bit heavy, and the death of those children, Jing Wan was obviously severely affected, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and wanted to vomit. After all, pregnant people are particularly sensitive to smells, not to mention their spirits. stimulation on.

Someone at the scene had already taken the initiative to take the follow-up matters. Even if not, Li Hongyuan would only take care of his daughter-in-law and take Jing Wan away without hesitation, but instead of leaving the palace, he took Jing Wan with him. The Ganlu Palace of Concubine Qin Shu. This option seems to be fine.

When I thought about such a thing, people were in a panic. Most people's first reaction was to gather together instead of being scattered and alone. Therefore, Qin Shufei should not be in the Ganlu Palace, but the fact was a little unexpected.

Concubine Qin Shu seemed to be in good spirits, so she shouldn't have been frightened. After learning about Jingwan's situation, she immediately asked someone to bring some sour plums to press her down. Did the sour plums happen to exist in the Ganlu Palace? Apparently it was specially prepared for Jingwan, although she didn't know when Jingwan would enter the palace, and she might not necessarily come to the Ganlu Palace after entering the palace.

However, this was the intention of Concubine Qin Shu and the imperial concubine.

According to the special relationship between Concubine Qin Shu and the imperial concubine, it is impossible to say that Concubine Qin Shu treats Li Hongyuan as a son.

Under normal circumstances, Prince Jin is taciturn, so don't expect him to say anything at this moment, quietly hug Jingwan, and gently stroke her back.

Seeing that Concubine Qin Shu didn't look strange, Jing Wan didn't push Li Hongyuan away. After she suppressed her nausea, she tried her best not to think about those exciting scenes, and began to ask about the assassin. Today's matter is too serious. The assassination was obviously a careful arrangement with a plan and a clear goal. The means were also vicious. Taking the poison in advance, the time was up. No matter whether the mission was completed, or whether it was possible to retreat, there was no doubt that he would die.

If there is no live port, many things may not have the direction of inquiry.

This means that anything can happen.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the previous scenes that stimulated Jing Wan were also thrown aside.

"It happened very suddenly. The little eunuchs, dancers, piano masters, and assassins who served the dishes seemed to appear from all directions. The main target seemed to be the emperor, but the prince and grandson were also their target. The scene is already chaotic, and the tragedy has already been caused..." Concubine Qin Shu's complexion was a little pale, and she looked at it with lingering fears. Upon closer inspection, her clothes were still a little dirty, and she didn't have time to change, or didn't have the strength to change, so, Concubine Qin Shu The impact is much worse than it seems.

Jingwan did not urge, and waited for Concubine Qin Shu to slow down.

"Concubine Su gave the emperor a fatal blow to the emperor. If one is not good, he is afraid that his life will be in danger. Before the situation was under control, the emperor hurriedly carried the Su family to the Jade Palace."

This amount of information is huge. Jingwan and Li Hongyuan looked at each other and seemed to have smelled something.

"Later, it was Prince Gong who stood up to stabilize the situation first, then Prince Kang, and then several princes in the back also competed to perform." Concubine Qin Shu has always been a peaceful and quiet person, but at this time, she showed a slightly ironic expression.

She could see it clearly. When the assassins rushed towards them, they grabbed the people around them more than once to block them, and even rolled and crawled. There is no need for the usual manners. You know, all princes, All of them have martial arts masters. When they are doing gestures on the martial arts field, they are very similar. When it comes to the end, they will not stand up to protect their wives and children.

Concubine Qin Shu suppressed the expression on her face, "The concubines are all of them who insisted on going back to their respective palaces. - You need to pay attention, at that time, the emperor's descendants and concubines should be present, only you were absent, those people No matter what, this matter will be dragged on you, so you must find a way to deal with it.”

Whether it's anger or blame, what Concubine Qin Shu said is inevitable.

"It's really planned by this king, they don't have any lives." Li Hongyuan said quite arrogantly.

Concubine Qin Shu believed what he said. The problem was that she couldn't say this to the outside world. If she said it, she would be fully exposed.

Jingwan patted him, "Be serious."

Li Hongyuan glanced at Jingwan, and then looked at Concubine Qin Shu, "I know it."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and chose to believe it 100%.

Afterwards, after only a few sips of a cup of tea, the chief executive next to Emperor Lecheng hurried over, "I have seen Concubine Shu, the lord, and the concubine." Under such circumstances, it would definitely be hard work to come to Prince Jin. thing.

"No ceremony. What's the matter with coming to Ganlu Palace at this time? How is your concubine?" Concubine Qin Shu asked.

"Back to the maiden, the noble concubine's life is in danger, the emperor ordered the slaves to come to see the prince..." The eunuch chief looked at Li Hongyuan carefully, "The emperor asked the prince to call the palace doctor of the Prince Jin's residence to enter the palace immediately."

Looking at Li Hongyuan, there was no reaction at all, as if the "Prince Jin" was not him.

Jing Wan glanced at him, just pretending to be okay, just hold it when it gets involved, are you tired?

"Understood, Qian Guard is outside, you can let him run. Father-in-law will go back to the father and wait for him. If you need it, you can help." Jing Wan directly

call the shots.

"Yes." The head of the eunuch's heart was full of human eyes, and Princess Jin really was a good person.

After waiting for the others to leave, Concubine Qin Shu joked: "There are several women with high rank in the harem, and now Concubine Wei Xian is the only one left who has not been treated by the doctor in your house. This person is also raised in the Prince Jin's mansion. If you change the place, The emperor must have been brought into the imperial hospital long ago."

"Concubine Wei Xian may not have any serious problems, and even if there is, she probably won't have that fate." Jing Wan smiled, but her words were extraordinarily ruthless.

Li Hongyuan was a little surprised, and Concubine Qin Shu was stunned, but then, no matter why she said that, she didn't feel anything wrong.

"I guess it's not just about the doctor in your palace, but Prince Rui's family should also enter the palace. I can't say, Su's still wants to see you." Concubine Qin Shu said faintly.

Obviously, if Su Guifei didn't seize such a good opportunity, then she would be in vain, grass would have grown on the tomb, and her bones had turned into dirt.

"What if you turn over, if you can step on it once, twice, you can step on it three or four times." Li Hongyuan really didn't care much about this. What he cares about is that with the people of Prince Rui's family, he can't do this tonight.

So, who will be the mastermind of this unusually good show tonight?
