Chapter 102 The Prince is Missing
The waiting time is always long, and everyone with different thoughts in the imperial tent feels that the passage of time is extremely slow.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Luan's worries became even more serious.
Xiao Zicheng has too much variables. This time he has even given up his own daughter. If he cannot kill Xiao Zicheng, wouldn’t he have compensated his wife and his troops?
What's more serious is that the person's mind has become increasingly strange recently. Li Luan could clearly feel that the person was already a little impatient for the position of the Nine Five Lord.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the imperial tent, and everyone in the tent had their eyes lit up.
But what no one expected was that it was not Lu Bing and Li who walked in with his tent curtain, but a blood-stained personal soldier.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is missing!!!"
Emperor Jingping stood up and said furiously:
"What are you doing for? So many people can't protect the prince?"
The person who came to send the message was so scared that his body trembled, "His prince was hunting in the forest and was attacked on the way...the horse was frightened..."
Emperor Jingping's eyes seemed to be about to eat people, and he was an assassin again.
Just a few hours have passed, and two assassinations have occurred in the hunting ground.
"Call the commander of the Imperial Guard Battalion to me! Everyone else goes into the forest to find it. If you can't find the prince, I can't spare you!!!"
It's snowy and ice, not to mention the assassin's pursuit, it can freeze people to death even if it's frozen. What's more, there are still many beasts in the mountain, and it will be a lot of danger if it's encountered.
The originally calm camp became restless again in an instant.
"Your Majesty, what's going on with that daughter..."
"Stop talking! Could it be that your daughter's murder is more important than the prince's comfort?!"
Li Luan trembled all over, knowing that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, so he immediately fell to the ground:
"I have made a mistake, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
Emperor Jingping looked at Li Luan kneeling on the ground, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes:
"Get out of here, don't be upset!"
What happened one after another annoyed Emperor Jingping. He waved his sleeves and rode on the BMW:
"Go to me to find them all! Xiao Zicheng, you can go with me too!"
As he said that, he led a large number of guards out of the camp.
Xiao Zicheng was also quite anxious at this time and even blamed himself. Yesterday he saw that the third prince was ambitious.
But all the hardships are all speculations. It is a serious crime to argue that the prince is a serious crime, so I did not mention this matter with Zhu Ying today.
Later, he was assassinated again, and then the Li family attacked him. As everything got plagued, he forgot about it.
Thinking about it now, all the other party did was probably a cover-up, and the ultimate goal was probably to assassinate the prince.
It's snowy and ice, what happened to that guy Zhu Rong...
The prince was assassinated and disappeared.
The entire camp was in chaos.
Under the leadership of Emperor Jingping, everyone went into the forest to find Zhu Yan's traces.
Many people shouted at the top of their voices in order to compete for merit:
"Your Highness, where are you!! Your Highness!!"
Emperor Jingping was extremely anxious and looked at the report soldiers coldly:
"How far is this far from where the prince was attacked?"
The soldier looked around and pointed in a direction tremblingly:
"If you go down here, you will arrive in another mile..."
When Emperor Jingping heard this, he whipped the horse whip and rushed towards the direction pointed by the soldiers.
Xiao Zicheng, who was following behind, couldn't help but frown.
The prince had a large number of personal soldiers around him, and they were all well-trained and well-equipped. Not to mention one as one as one as one as ten, one as one as one as ten is still more than enough.
What's more, in order to prevent possible dangers, and to the hunting needs, the guards around Zhu Rong brought enough bows and arrows.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but ask the person who reported the news:
"The prince went out of the camp but brought a team of 100 people as a guard. How many assassins were ambushing? Can they break through your defense?"
"Return to the Lord, there are at least three hundred, and they are all equipped with hard bows... Although we are trying our best to protect us, they still shocked His Highness the Prince's horse..."
The person who reported the news dared not to conceal the news. When he saw Xiao Zicheng asking, he said in detail everything he spoke in the forest like a bean.
Unreasonable...
Xiao Zicheng frowned even deeper, and according to the scale of 300 people, that was also a big goal.
The most important thing is that during the winter hunting period, the surrounding area of the Royal Hunting Ground was cleared more than once by the Imperial Guard Camp, and the inside was even more harshly guarded.
Under such circumstances, how did these three hundred people pop out of thin air?
Or... these assassins were originally from the Imperial Guard Camp?
The more Xiao Zicheng thought about it, the colder he felt. You must know that during the winter hunt, there were no other people who could have the right to mobilize so many people except Emperor Jingping.
However, Zhu Ying's recent behaviors have not been considered a favorable impression in Emperor Jingping.
Even if His Majesty gave birth to the deposed prince, he would just give an imperial edict, and there was no need to use such a way that would cause turmoil.
Thinking about this, Emperor Jingping can be eliminated, but the more this happens, it just proves the danger here.
Under the absolute control of Emperor Jingping, the imperial guard camp actually obeyed the orders of others...
Palace change!
The two words appeared in Xiao Zicheng's mind. Even though he was in the snow and ice, he still broke out in a cold sweat.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about proof, and the whip was almost swinging the afterimage, and went straight ahead to chase Emperor Jingping.
Even if this is just his guess, even if it is only one in ten thousand possible, he will report this matter to Emperor Jingping.
Now that the national war is about to begin, if something happens to Emperor Jingping at this critical moment, it will be a disaster for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have something to report!!"
Fortunately, the figure of Emperor Jingping appeared in Xiao Zicheng's sight before he chased after him for a long time.
Emperor Jingping, who was thinking about Zhu Ying's comfort, paused slightly and directly accelerated the speed.
Seeing this, Xiao Zicheng complained in his heart, and in desperation he had to chase after him quickly.
As we go deeper into the mountains, the snow becomes thicker and the road becomes more rugged and difficult to walk.
After finally catching up with Emperor Jingping, Xiao Zicheng had no time to speak, but before he could speak, he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air from the old forest ahead.
Whoosh swish swish swish...
Countless arrows shot at everyone.
"Protect the car!!Protect the car!!!"
The Imperial Guard Battalion, which was the first to be blast, suffered a large number of casualties under this sudden cold arrow.
After a brief panic, under the command of Emperor Jingping, the situation was barely stabilized.
Countless sword and shield hands raised their shields and guarded Emperor Jingping layer by layer in the middle.
The assassin hiding in the forest seemed to have no idea of survival, and rushed straight towards the imperial guard camp formation.
Xiao Zicheng's heart beat violently and his adrenaline soared.
The sword on his waist had been unsheathed. At this moment, he felt abnormal and there was no fear at all. Instead, he was eager to try.
There are no military officers here, and Emperor Jingping cannot take over the command, so he wants to take over the command.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!! I, Xiao Zicheng, a son of Nayama, now follow my command!! The archers are ready to shoot me in a volley!!!"
Xiao Zicheng held up his sword:
Chapter completed!
