Since the guard general Zhao Huan had already thought of how the assassin sneaked into the palace, the army and the guards immediately mobilized, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed into the Qi Palace from the side door and surrounded the shore of the Qi Palace.

Assassinating the princess and the prince was a great matter. The army and the guards reacted very quickly. Five thousand troops and two thousand guards had surrounded Biyuan, and dozens of search teams were searching along the palace and every small river between the King of Qi.

At this time, Luo Shixin, who was patrolling the city, also arrived in time. He heard that there was an assassin in the palace. Maybe something happened to the prince. He was as if he was struck by lightning. He screamed and rushed towards the palace. If something happened to the prince, how could he give the prince to the lord? More than a hundred personal soldiers ran with him behind him.

When he rushed to the Rainbow Bridge connected to the Imperial City and the Palace City, he happened to meet the guard general Zhao Huan, who was the first to arrive at the assassination scene.

Zhao Huan quickly knelt down on one knee to salute, Luo Shixin grabbed his neck and shouted, "How is the prince?"

Zhao Huan was so scared that he said tremblingly: "Report to General, the prince is safe. Mr. Yuwen happened to be in the prince's carriage. He was unfortunately assassinated."

Luo Shixin breathed a long sigh, and he felt his legs become weak, almost scaring him to death, "How about the princess?"

"The princess and the others are fine."

Luo Shixin wiped away the cold sweat from his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Has the assassin caught it?"

"It should still be in the water, searching!"

At this moment, a guard came to report: "General Qi reported to him, and found the traces of the assassin, and hid on the island in the middle of the lake."

Luo Shixin burst into murderous intent and shouted: "Prepare a boat for me, I will go to the island to catch people myself!"

A subordinate behind him reminded: "General, the assassin must have accomplices in the city. We should curfew to search the city to prevent the accomplices from running away."

A sentence reminded Luo Shixin that he took down his token and handed it to his personal soldiers, "You go and find General Qian immediately, ask him to block the streets and patrol the city walls closely. No matter who it is, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order."

The personal soldiers rushed away after receiving the order. Then Luo Shixin jumped onto a small boat with his gun and shook the boat towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Biyuan usually only has two pleasure boats, one in the inner palace and the other in the Qi Palace, but there are more than twenty small boats on the guards, mainly for dredging and are rarely used once a year. Today, in order to hunt assassins, they are all used.

The boat sailed towards the island in the middle of the lake. Luo Shixin, who had calmed down a little, then asked about the details of the assassination.

Zhao Huan said: "The three assassins should have swam into the inner palace from the Qi Palace. They first caught an eunuch. When they learned that the prince was still in the Eastern Palace, they lie in Jinlin Bridge and waited for the prince's carriage to come back. However, they did not know the prince and mistakenly regarded Prince Yuwen in the carriage as the prince. The three assassins used short crossbows and shot poisonous arrows and then dived."

"Are the captured eunuch still there?"

"We found the eunuch's body by the river, and his neck was twisted."

Luo Shixin's face turned pale. He knew that the Marshal was worried that his wife and children would be stabbed, so he let them live in the palace. Unexpectedly, the Marshal really guessed it.

Needless to say, this must have been done by the Turks. They did nothing to disrupt the morale of the front-line army. Fortunately, Zen Master Yuwen was by the prince, otherwise they would have succeeded.

Soon, the boat arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. The island was surrounded by more than twenty small boats and two pleasure boats. Luo Shixin asked, "Where are the assassins?"

A soldier pointed to the small building on the island in the middle of the lake and said, "The poisonous arrows were shot from the small building just now, and they should be on the upper building."

Luo Shixin snatched a large shield from a guard, jumped onto the shore, and strode towards the entrance of the building.

At this time, a cold light flashed, and a poisonous crossbow arrow shot towards Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin raised his shield to block it, but his steps were not stopped at all.

When the guards saw Luo Shixin coming, their morale was immediately boosted. They all followed him to the shore and rushed to the island's buildings.

The three Taoist priests believed that they had succeeded in killing the prince and were eager to escape from the palace. Unexpectedly, the guard general Zhao Huan had already sent someone to the Qi Palace first and cut off their retreat. They had to turn around and swim back to the palace. Soon, Zhao Huangquan was exhausted, and the three of them had to rest for a while. However, the water traces they left were discovered by the search soldiers. More than 100 guards quickly surrounded them on the island.

"The opportunity is here, come with me to grab the ship!"

When Li Qingshan saw that the guards abandoned the boat and went ashore, he realized that this was their only chance to escape. However, he did not know Luo Shixin and thought he was also a guard leader.

Three Taoist priests jumped off the second floor and met Luo Shixin, holding a gun and strode into the yard.

"Kill him together!"

After all, Li Qingshan is experienced. He has discovered that the big gun in the other party's hand is actually made of pure iron, weighing at least 100 kilograms. This is a general, not an ordinary guard, and you cannot underestimate the enemy.

The three shouted loudly and swung their swords together to pounce on Luo Shixin. However, Luo Shixin sneered, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning. Then he took two steps back and avoided Zhao Huangquan's sword.

"Why don't you guys go?"

Seeing that the two companions did not follow, Zhao Huangquan shouted in a hurry. When she turned around, she was stunned. She saw that a big hole was pierced on both of them and fell straight down.

Zhao Huangquan was shocked and angry, and shouted in sadness: "I'm fighting with you!"

She waved her sword and killed Luo Shixin. She had completely lost her mind and did not notice that more than a dozen guards had already killed her. Luo Shixin shouted, "Catch the living, don't kill her!"

A guard jumped from behind and hugged Zhao Huangquan's waist from behind, threw her to the ground. The other guards rushed forward, pressed Zhao Huangquan to the ground and tied her up with ropes. Zhao Huangquan ignored her completely. She struggled desperately and stared at Luo Shixin and cursed: "Evil thief, bastard, I must kill you!"

Luo Shixin snorted coldly and said to Zhao Huan: "I will leave the rest to you. I will ask for this woman's confession tonight!"

Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and said, "General, don't worry! We have a way to deal with women."

Luo Shixin shook his head, turned around and walked out, and soon took a boat back to Jinlin Bridge. As soon as he got ashore, he heard the heart-wrenching cry of Princess Nanyang from afar. Although Luo Shixin had no good feelings for the descendants of the Yuwen family, Princess Nanyang's cry also made him feel sad. After all, she was still a young man and blocked the arrow for the prince.

"General Luo!" Someone next to him was calling him.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Xiao Yu, the prime minister. Except for Su Wei, the other six prime ministers would be at night in Ziwei Palace every day. It was Xiao Yu's turn today.

Luo Shixin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Meet the Prime Minister!"

Xiao Yu sighed and said worriedly: "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen tonight. He dared to enter the palace to assassinate. Was the assassin caught?"

Luo Shixin nodded, "Everything was caught, two people were killed, and one living thing was left."

"General Luo thinks this is what he does?"

"It should be Turkic people. The general was worried that his family would be assassinated by the Turkic people, so he asked them to move into the palace to ensure safety. Unexpectedly, the Turkic people actually chased them into the palace."

"I think it's also a Turkic person, but I have a suggestion that I hope General Luo will consider it."

"Prime Minister, please tell me."

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "It is best not to spread the assassin incident tonight. If it is spread, it may affect the morale of the army. Secondly, it is best not to have a curfew or martial law. I am worried that it will cause unnecessary panic and cause price increases, which will be detrimental to the current war."

Luo Shixin smiled bitterly and said, "As a general, you must arrest the assassin's party, and martial law curfew must be inevitable. This is my duty. If you don't do it, I will neglect my duty. However, Du Chengjun is in Zhongdu, and he has the right to cancel the martial law and curfew. The prime minister can discuss with Du Chengjun. If Du Chengjun issues an elimination order to me, I will cancel the martial law and curfew. In addition, please rest assured that I will order the ban on the assassin's affairs and not allow anyone to spread it."

Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, General Luo for his cooperation. I will go to Du Chanjun to discuss it."

Xiao Yu turned around and left in a hurry. At this time, Empress Dowager Xiao helped Princess Nanyang return to the bedroom with the grief. Luo Shixin saw the princess and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I am not good at ease, please see the princess!"

Lu Qing was confused and very scared. When she saw Luo Shixin, she felt a little calmer and asked Luo Shixin: "General Luo, has the assassin caught it?"

"Report to the princess, the three assassins have been arrested, and the palace should be safe."

"Then I'm relieved, hey! You generals have expected this tonight before."

Luo Shixin was even more ashamed. The general expected it and handed over Zhongdu's safety to him, but an assassination still occurred. This was his dereliction of duty. He also knew that it was a loophole in the defense of the palace. The assassin used the Qi Palace to swim directly to the inner palace. The soldiers he arranged in the Qi Palace became a decoration.

He gritted his teeth in his heart. He wanted to surround the Qi Palace like an iron bucket to see who could get into this loophole again.
