Under the escort of everyone, the emperor retreated to the back hall of the Light Hall. After sitting down, Yingren asked with concern: "Father, how are you?"

Duke An also retreated with the emperor and knelt down and said, "I am incompetent, and I will be frightened by the emperor. I deserve to die. I beg you to sue him!" The civil servants and military generals who followed him immediately knelt on the ground, all of whom were frightened.

Although the emperor's expression was still calm, there was still anger in his eyes that could not be concealed. Such assassination happened at the state banquet today, which greatly damaged the emperor's face.

"Where is Zhao Xuan?" the emperor finally asked coldly.

Zhao Xuan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, also came to the back hall by a devil. Until now, his mind was blank. He could not understand what happened in the main hall.

The emperor called him his name, but he didn't even hear it clearly. Duke An turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xuan!"

Zhao Xuan finally woke up, "Ah" and then saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him. He was shocked. He looked up and saw the emperor's eyes staring at his face very sinisterly. He shivered again. He finally understood that the disaster was coming, and his whole body was soft and said tremblingly: "Master, I am... I am... I am... I am!" Not only was his white and fat face already sweating like rain, but his body was already covered in cold sweat and could not speak for a while.

The emperor had no expression on his face and said lightly: "Did you bring these assassins into the palace?"

Zhao Xuan's fat body was like a pile of meat on the ground, his soul was scattered: "Master, I am... I am deserved to die for death, but... I am not sure that they are assassins, I am..."

The emperor leaned on the chair and said coldly: "I'm here to ask you, do you want to assassinate me or assassinate Mahazang? Or do you want me and Mahazang to die in the palace?"

Zhao Xuan's forehead was pressed against the ground, and his whole body was trembling: "Sage...Master, I am not afraid to...!"

"I know you don't dare. I want to know who gave you the courage?" The emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Who has you been instructed to do such a disobedient thing?"

Zhao Xuan said: "Master, I am... Although I am selfish, I am never dared to be so ruthless." He knew that his life was in danger, so he could only say: "I am wanted to pass this state banquet and get... the joy of the emperor, so before the Western Liang mission arrived in the capital, he thought about how to organize this state banquet. The headmaster of the eccentric arts team called Chang Yi. He first met Weichen's housekeeper, and then the housekeeper recommended it to Weichen, Weichen...

Weichen did not want to contact these people at first, but... but he sent three hundred taels of silver. Weichen was obsessed with it for a moment and met him. He was bewitched by his words and agreed to arrange his erotic art team to enter the palace to offer skills... Weichen only thought that they wanted to get the reward from the emperor with this opportunity. He never expected that they were ill-behaved. It was because the emperor was indifferent, but... But Weichen had no intention of disobedience. Master, Weichen was guilty, so please spare his life...!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Three hundred taels of silver can buy my Minister of Honglu Temple in the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Xuan, your life seems to be worthless!" He looked at Duke An Guo and asked, "Duke An Guo, what Zhao Xuan said, are you true or false?"

An Guo said justice: "Master, the old minister dare not speak nonsense, but now, the old minister thinks that Zhao Xuan dares not deceive the emperor and hide it from him!"

"Everything that Weichen said is true!" Zhao Xuan saw that he had a glimmer of hope and hurriedly said, "Weichen was deceived by those assassins and would never dare to disobey!"

But the emperor did not look at him and continued to ask Duke An: "Duke An, Duke An, is a deliberate and prepared very well. In your opinion, who has such a courage to plan this assassination?"

Anguo said justice: "The Master, the old minister thinks that the target of this assassination may not be the Master, but the Mahazang of the Western Liang."

"I think so too." The emperor nodded slightly: "Where is the purpose of assassinating Mahazang?"

"Stop the peace agreement success!" Duke An Guo immediately said: "Mahazang is an envoy of the Western Liang Dynasty. This time, the purpose of coming to discuss peace with our Great Qin. The emperor is wise and has made a successful peace agreement with the Western Liang Dynasty. At this time, someone assassinated Mahazang at a state banquet. The purpose is naturally to destroy the peace agreement. If Mahazang died in the Palace of Light, no matter who killed it, the people of Xiliang would only think that it was my Great Qin's cause. The peace agreement between the two countries could never be reached again. No matter what the problems arise with the people of Xiliang, their prince died in our Great Qin, and they would never give up. The war between the two countries would only rise again!"

The emperor nodded and said, "What the Duke of the State said is very true. It seems that someone intends to disrupt the peace talks between the two countries." He pondered slightly and asked, "Who wants to disrupt the peace talks between the two countries in your opinion?"

Duke An Guo also thought about it and said carefully: "Master, although the old minister dare not make any guesses, the first thing that comes to his mind is the Heavenly Gate Dao!"

As soon as this statement was made, Zhou Ting, Lin Yuanfang and several generals next to him also nodded slightly. Even Shen Keqiu, who had always been in opposition to Duke An, couldn't help but nod. This time, he couldn't help but nod.

"Tianmen Dao?"

"That's right!" An Guogong said: "The court army besieged the Tianmen Dao people in the Jianghuai River. The Tianmen Dao wanted to fight against our Qin court, and it was undoubtedly a mantis arm to block the chariot and destroy it. Once a peace agreement was reached with the people of Xiliang and the court would do its best to suppress the Tianmen Dao, then with the courage of our Qin soldiers, the Tianmen Dao was destroyed in a daze." After a pause, seeing the emperor thinking, he continued: "The Tianmen Dao naturally understood the key points. This time, he was determined to assassinate Mahazang. Once successful, my Qin would face the pressure of the people of Xiliang. The Tianmen Dao thought that he had a chance to breathe!"

Zhou Ting immediately said: "Sage, what Duke An Guo said is very true. Today, the assassin's assassin's assassin was very strange, with smoke everywhere. Only the Taoist of Tianmen liked to use these magic tricks the most!"

Lin Yuanfang took the opportunity to say, "Master, the demons in the Heavenly Sect are good at demonic magic, and today they are the demonic magic. Such evil ways of demonic magic must be eliminated!"

The emperor gently stroked his beard, and at this moment, he saw a sound of footsteps. Lin Yuanfang heard the footsteps. There were no less than ten people. He knew that it would be an assassin. He screamed strangely, stood up and protected the emperor, spread his arms, and screamed strangely, "Protect the Master!"

The person who came was King Yingping of Han and others. Yingping was in front of him, and Xuanyuan Shao followed him. Yingping fell to the ground and blamed himself: "I am not chasing my son, and I will be frightened by my father, and I deserve to die!"

Xuanyuan Shao also knelt down: "I am in charge of the guards in the palace and cannot protect them. I will not forgive my guilt. I beg the Lord to sue him!"

But the emperor had already asked: "Yingping, what is the situation of Mahazang?"

"Report to my father, Mahazang suffered some minor injuries, and it was not serious!" Yingping replied: "Seven assassins, five were killed, and the remaining two have been captured!"

When the ministers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Mahazang is not dead, the purpose of the assassin this time will not be achieved, and the relationship between the two countries will not be irreversible.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "You all get up." He said to Xuanyuan Shao: "You are so unlucky about this matter. These assassins are very cunning and have careful plans. You are not guilty today, but you have made contributions. If it weren't for your arrow, I might have been no longer alive!"

Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "The emperor is blessed with great blessings, and the heavens protect him. The evil clown will not harm the emperor."

The emperor stood up, walked slowly to Xuanyuan Shao, reached out to take out an arrow from Xuanyuan Shao's arrow box, and said with a smile: "I have Xuanyuan Shao, and the misfortune turns good. Xuanyuan Shao has arrows, and the world is invincible!"

Lin Yuanfang was about to agree, but suddenly saw the emperor squeezing his backhand. The arrow in his hand was inserted into the back of Zhao Xuan, the minister of the Honglu Temple.

This happened suddenly. No one could have thought that the emperor suddenly took action when he was smiling and speaking with a gentle voice. And it was even more rapid. His backhand flirted with great force and the arrow penetrated Zhao Xuan's neck.

Xuanyuan Shao's arrows were naturally not ordinary arrows. The arrow clusters were sharp and the arrow shafts were hard. The sharp arrow clusters emerged from Zhao Xuan's throat. His eyes immediately raised their hands and covered their throats. In the horrified eyes of everyone, they fell to the ground, making a "gurgling" sound in their throats. The body twitched twice and stopped moving.

Everyone was covered in chill.

Although the emperor fought south and north, he was full of blood, but he had not committed suicide in person since he ascended the throne for a long time. Although the emperor was still decisive in killing and there were many murdered ministers in the court, over the years, Zhao Xuan was the only one who could be killed by the emperor himself. The emperor was cruel and even more ruthless.

When Zhao Xuan was killed, the emperor still looked calm and said in a deep voice: "Transfer my order and immediately send someone to investigate Zhao Xuan's mansion. All his family members were sent to death row prisoners. Three days later, Qiu Junhao, the Minister of Justice, was personally executed by Qiu Junhao. He immediately handed over the two assassins to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation overnight. When I wake up tomorrow, the Ministry of Justice needs to report the origin of the assassin to me, otherwise Qiu Junhao will bring the heads into the palace by himself!" Looking at Zhou Ting, he said: "Zhou Ting, the envoy of Xiliang is frightened. Go to condolences on my behalf and tell them that I will give them an explanation!"

Zhou Ting agreed respectfully.

At this moment, a member of the public affairs office rushed in, knelt down from afar, and said in a panic: "Speak to the emperor, something is wrong!"

The King of Han had already gotten up, his eyebrows were tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't make a fuss, what's wrong?"

"The envoys of Xiliang were about to leave the palace, but they said that they would leave Luo Anjing tonight and return to Xiliang!" The public servant said carefully.

The emperor frowned and said, "Sir, I will persuade the envoys of the Western Liang now!"

...

...

Mahazang's wrist was just wrapped by a long rope, leaving scars. Fortunately, it was only a skin and flesh wound, and it was not damaged. The smoke in the hall had not completely dissipated. The gate of the hall had opened at this time. The guards had checked many ministers lying on the ground and found that they were still breathing. It seemed that although the smoke was poisonous, it did not kill people, but it was just a coma.

The corpse has been carried out of the hall. The terrified ministers did not dare to stay in the hall or leave the palace. They were all in the square outside the hall, and they were still in the staggering square. They gathered together to talk, and naturally they were incredible about what happened tonight. Many people were already scolding the Minister of Honglu Temple Zhao Xuan, and all pushed the blame to Zhao Xuan. Some of them had gathered together to discuss and immediately impeach Zhao Xuan later, but they did not know that the Minister of Honglu Temple Zhao Xuan had already died at this time.

Mahazang, who had always shown a rough personality, was very calm this time. On the contrary, Gusa Heiyun, the ritual officer of the Western Liang who had been calm before, was furious. When he walked out of the hall with Mahazang, he pointed at the ministers of the Qin Dynasty and said sternly: "You Qin people actually framed me, Prince Xiliang, such despicable behavior, I, Daxiliang, would never tolerate it." He said to Mahazang again: "You Prince, let's set off tonight and return to Xiliang immediately!"

Mahazang refused to say anything, but just clenched his fists with his face, and walked down the jade steps without expression. Look at it, he wanted to leave the palace now. Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other, but two ministers hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him and bowed, "Prince Maha, there is another reason for this matter. Please be calm, let's wait..." Before they finished speaking, Mahazang's eyes opened angrily and said sternly: "Do away!"

The ministers looked at each other and saw the Mahazang being so majestic that he didn't dare to stop him for a moment, so he could only dodge. Mahazang stepped forward with great strides, and Gusa Black Cloud followed closely. The two of them went down the jade steps and followed the jade road and walked forward very resolutely. The ministers looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that a big thing had been stabbed tonight.
