Chapter 99 White Assassin Attacks
Prince Li Chengqian is very satisfied with today's trip to Quchi!
When King Li Tai of Wei broke the appointment, his appearance seemed special. I believe that Princess Changle and his wife, especially Changsun Chong, were somewhat grateful.
Although there are many brother-in-laws, this person is special and still his uncle's cousin, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship.
In addition, I took the opportunity to make friends with Xie Yi and tried my best to get Xie Lingyun's manuscript. Finally, it came in handy, and Xie Yi accepted it.
Although there is no substantial progress, it is a good start. Hegan Chengji is right. Everything should be progressive step by step, and it is unlikely to eat a fat man in one bite.
With the first episode, I don’t have to worry about not having the second episode.
Today's occasion will not seem very special. After all, the gift is given in the name of lottery. As for Xie Lingyun's manuscript, it was obtained by Kong Yingda, the Imperial College Priest.
It is reasonable to give it to the descendants of the Xie family who are outstanding in poetry and prose and have great talent. Kong Yingda, who is always interested in talent and knowledge, must be happy to see his success.
In this way, what can outsiders say?
This trip is worth it!
On the carriage, Li Chengqian was proud and did not want to make a sudden change!
"There are assassins, protect your highness!"
Hegan Chengji, who was outside the car window, shouted, and then the sound of swords and swords intersecting were heard outside.
assassinate?!
I haven't had such a thing for many years. I remember that when I was very young, my father was still the King of Qin and I was the King of Zhongshan.
Since entering the Eastern Palace in the early years of Zhenguan, he has never been disturbed by the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. However, today he went to Furong Garden in Qujiangchi and was assassinated!
Through the gap in the chariot window, Li Chengqian looked out. A group of assassins in white and light-colored clothes were fighting with sharp blades with sharp swords in their hands. The goal was to rush into the carriage and take his own life!
When he went out today, Li Chengqian deliberately kept a low profile and did not show off his entire prince's ceremonial guards, but only brought not many guards to accompany him.
When he lost the protection of the palace wall and his guardian power was the weakest, he suddenly encountered assassination!
Why is his luck so bad? Li Chengqian couldn't help asking in secret, and a question arose in his heart, how did the assassin know that he was coming to Quchi to attend the banquet?
Judging from the current situation, this is a complete assassination with preparation in advance, planning, and proper timing.
Who can do this? Who wants his own life? Or is it good for him to die?
In an instant, Li Chengqian was full of questions.
These issues are very important, but you have to keep them alive to have the opportunity to investigate, to dig out the murderer and tore him to pieces.
But can you escape today?
Listening to the fierce sound of swords and fighting, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little nervous, his body subconsciously trembled and he was frightened.
Even if he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is less than one person than ten thousand people, and he will be afraid in the face of the threat of death...
...
Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan were walking in a car in the snow and snow, and suddenly they heard the sound of weapons intersecting in front of them.
Wang Yongan sent someone to check it out, and after a moment, he received a terrifying news - Prince Li Chengqian was assassinated.
More than a month after Li Shimin was assassinated in Shanzhou, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated again in Chang'an City at the foot of the emperor.
Coincidentally, Xie Yi was present twice, once by Li Shimin, and once not far from Li Chengqian...
Who wanted to assassinate Li Shimin and his son? There was no time to think too much. Xie Yi hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"
"Not very good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not many guards..."
Xie Yi waved his hand and said, "Wang Yong'an, send someone to Qujiang to report Changsun Chong. He should have not left yet. Please come and protect the carriage quickly and find a way to notify the Wuhou or the garrison in the city to rescue. You guys, go and protect the prince immediately."
"Bachelor Xie, what about you?"
"The assassin's target is His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't care. It's important to protect His Highness!" Xie Yi didn't have to think too much about it, and he didn't rescue him. What if Li Chengqian had a few shortcomings, how could the angry Li Shimin not blame him?
All the guards left, including the driver who drove, and this is also a master of flying riding!
In the wind and snow, only Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan were masters and servants in the carriage. The woman was timid by nature and was afraid of fighting and killing. What's more, the prince was assassinated, so Abi was trembling and almost cried. Although Zheng Liwan looked solemn, she was not at all panic.
"We go south to Qixiamen, and you have to leave here soon!" Xie Yi pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision. Regardless of the snowy road, he personally drove around and ran towards Qujiang.
All the guards were sent out, and it was unwise to stay alone in a dangerous situation. This place is not far from the southern city wall. There are soldiers stationed at the nearest Qixia Gate, so there is a safe place to seek rescue.
But……
Driving is a technical job. Xie Yi is not skilled, so he just tried hard to pull the reins and maintain balance. Fortunately, the horses were giving face and kept walking smoothly, but the speed was really slow.
Not long after running out, I passed a wall of the house. When I encountered the woods, I suddenly heard a muffled groan. The horse pulling the cart neighed a long time, lifted its front hooves, and the carriage almost capsized.
Hearing Abi's scream, Xie Yi quickly turned around and asked, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"
But Zheng Liwan looked solemnly and looked straight ahead. Xie Yi turned around and saw two white-clothed assassins standing on the road ahead, blocking the road with knives and heading towards the carriage.
In an instant, Xie Yi was a little confused. Could it be that he was also the target of the assassination?
I thought it wrong, so I made the wrong arrangements, and the consequences will naturally be very serious!
Is he going to die here today? He also has to implicate a beautiful woman in this era for nothing?
...
Xie Yi didn't have to think too much and pulled Zheng Liwan and Abi off the carriage!
But... Xie Yi asked himself that he could not run away with a well-trained assassin, let alone that he was pulling two weak women, and running away was meaningless.
So at the first moment, he chose to protect two innocent women behind him and then face the shaking blade, even if he was helpless!
You may not have the courage to face death, but as a man, how can you not protect the delicate and innocent daughter?
"I'm sorry, I've implicated you two."
Zheng Liwan shook her head gently, a little disgraceful, but she was calm and no one noticed. In a panic, she had already held a golden hairpin in her hand.
As for whether to fight to the death or commit suicide or avoid being humiliated, it is unknown. The maid Abi watched the assassin come over with a knife, and was frightened. She subconsciously closed her eyes and exclaimed loudly...
The shouting was of course useless, but the expected blood splattered on the spot and the difference between the body and the head did not happen. When Ah Bi opened her eyes again, she saw a gray-clothed swordsman appearing from somewhere and stopped the assassin.
A knight acts bravely?
Abi widened her eyes. She had heard many such stories and knew that there were skilled heroes in the world who saw injustice and took action with justice.
Did you meet me today?
What was even more surprising was that Ranger defeated the assassin in three moves and two moves, injured him, and forced him to escape in a hurry.
Abi, who had recovered from his senses, wanted to applaud and came forward to thank him. In the blink of an eye, the Ranger disappeared and disappeared in the wind and snow.
What's going on?
Xie Yi was also surprised. At the moment of assassination, someone suddenly came to help, and then he went away again, hiding his merits and fame.
Who wants to kill himself? Who saved him? There is a strangeness everywhere, an uneasy weirdness.
"Oh, why did Ranger Ah'er leave? It's too late to thank him."
You Xia'er? Xie Yi shook his head gently. This kind of legendary story can only be a legend, this life-savior...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xie Yi's mind, and when he thought of something, his face instantly became low and extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?" Abi asked softly.
Although Zheng Liwan didn't understand why, she saw Xie Yi's expression strange, and pondered for a moment and whispered: "Abi remembered that we didn't see anything. We went to Kaixiamen all the way, and we didn't encounter any trouble, and we didn't know anything."
"Ah, oh!" Although Abi didn't understand the reason, he saw that his wife was serious and solemn, so he naturally did not dare to neglect her.
Hearing this, Xie Yi turned around and looked at Zheng Liwan with a firm look, nodded gently and said, "Thank you!"
This woman is indeed smart. Instead of being able to explain it at that time, it is better not to know anything and push it completely.
But, can it be completely clean?
