Chapter 11: It’s an Assassin again (fourth)

At this moment, Zhu Yinglong and Li Qing both woke up. After washing up, they ordered Xu Yingyuan to hand over the food and drink from the imperial kitchen to Li Qing's room and eat warmly with Li Qing. They had no idea that the girl Ma San, who made her heart beat last night, was suffering a catastrophe.

It's better to be outside for a thousand days, but it's hard to stay outside for a moment. Li Qing went to Miaojiang and walked back and forth for nearly two months. He used the Five Elements Plum Blossom Needle to treat Zuo Liangyu, and was even more nervous for seven consecutive days. When he woke up just now, he felt much lighter when he picked up Li Qing. He felt so distressed that he kept picking up food for Li Qing and forced her to eat it all.

Li Qing was both happy and moved. He did what he said. Last night was a night that she would never forget in her life. Facing the delicious dishes that were almost piled up like a hill in front of her, her narrow stomach couldn't hold on, but she was addicted to being spoiled by men like this, for fear that once she refused, he would not pick up food for herself in the future.

Fortunately, Xu Yingyuan knocked in at this time and whispered a few words in Zhu Yinglong's ear. Zhu Yinglong immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, apologized to Li Qing, put on his coat and went out.

"When did people wake up?" Zhu Yinglong didn't want Li Qing and the harem to know about her assassination last night, so when he received the news that Zhou Huaian had woken up, he immediately took Xu Yingyuan out of the palace to the residence of the imperial physician Lu Huanzhang. If Zhou Huaian had brought him back to the palace like that, he would have been making a fuss.

Given the assassination last night, for safety, the number of guards who came out of the palace in a very small suit this time doubled, and they were riding in a special car, similar to later bulletproof cars. However, it is more appropriate to call a stabbing car now. With this stabbing car, the assassin has great skills and probably has no choice.

This sting-proof carriage really took the hard work of the people from the Ministry of Works. The protective measures that can be used were basically used. It also represents the highest level of carriages in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yinglong himself also made some efforts to improve the roller and spring shock absorption system. First, for the longevity of the carriage, the road conditions in this time and space are not very good. Of course, he has to spare no effort to sit in it more comfortably.

When Lu Huanzhang heard that the emperor had arrived in a mansion in a low manner, he quickly took his wife Wang and son Lu Yun to the front door to kneel down to greet him. Zhu Yinglong didn't say much to them and quickly asked Lu Huanzhang to take him to visit Zhou Huaian.

Lu Huanzhang introduced as he walked: "Your Majesty, fortunately, he pulled out the arrow in time and stopped the blood. Otherwise, Lord Zhou's life would not be saved."

Zhu Yinglong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his decision was wrong at that time. When Zhou Huaian woke up, he was the time when the king and his ministers parted in eternal separation. He said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lu Aiqing, I have to thank you very well."

When Lu Huanzhang heard this, he looked exhausted with hard work and leaned over and said, "It was all sent by the emperor in time. I just tried my best to clean up the wound."

Although Zhu Yinglong doesn't like his ministers to push the credit on him, sometimes he doesn't feel good about criticizing him. For example, now, Lu Huanzhang treats Zhou Huaian with all his heart and successfully escapes him from danger. It is not advisable to say such things at this time, otherwise the ministers will feel that he, an emperor, is a bit unkind. This is not good. China is different from the West, and he is destined to adapt to this cultural atmosphere as soon as he is born. It is good to be innovative, but it often becomes the target of public criticism, especially those who are superiors, who should treat nothing differently. Big things and principles must be adhered to, and small things and human feelings must be ignored.

Zhou Huaian was seriously injured and could not see the wind. Therefore, in the room where he was recuperating, Lu Huanzhang ordered people to seal all windows and a warm curtain was hung at the door to maintain the temperature in the room.

Lu Huanzhang lifted the warm curtain and pushed open the door. Zhu Yinglong lowered his head and walked in. First, he smelled a choking smell of golden medicine. Zhou Huaian was lying on the warm kang on the inside, and there was a pretty girl serving him next to him. He saw his eyes open, his lips were purple, and he lost too much blood. However, his eyes were not about him, the master who came in to visit him, but the pretty girl who took care of him, obviously in fantasy.

"It seems that Zhou Aiqing, you are in good spirits?" Zhu Yinglong was naturally very happy to see that he was fine with his right arm.

"Emperor, Master, cough..." Zhou Huaian didn't expect that the person who came in would be his master. His face was flushed with shock and his words were stuttering.

Lu Huanzhang waved his hand and asked the pretty girl who was so scared that she knelt on the ground to stand up and go out first, bowing to Zhou Huaian with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Lord Zhou, if you survive the disaster, you will have good fortune."

"I am injured and can't salute the emperor." Zhou Huaian was injured on his left shoulder, and sharp arrows passed under the pipa bone. His mouth opened and closed and his mouth touched the wound, causing a cold air to vent his mouth.

"Okay, there are only you and I and Lu Aiqing here, so there is no need to stick to the etiquette of the monarch and minister. I have issued an order, saying that you have sent you to another place to perform secret missions and will not return to Beijing in a short period of time. You can recover from your injuries in Lu Aiqing's mansion and solve the major lifelong affairs together." Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

Zhou Huaian was suddenly embarrassed. He must have been unable to hide his every move just now from the emperor's golden eyes.

How smart Lu Huanzhang is? He could hear the meaning of the words of the king and his ministers as soon as he heard it, and he also joked: "Don't worry, the old minister will not choose another person to take care of Lord Zhou."

After Lu Huanzhang said this, Zhou Huaian became even more embarrassed. As soon as he started to think, he was recognized by someone in a blink of an eye. He was too unconcealed.

After coming out of Lu Huanzhang's mansion, Xu Yingyuan asked Zhu Yinglong to go back to the palace directly. Zhu Yinglong thought about it. Last night, Zhou Huaian planned to use Li Yongzuo, the three-character Li Heng, the Marquis of Fengcheng. He also heard of Li Yongzuo's arrogance and protection of his shortcomings. He would definitely avenge his son and seek revenge. Wufu is a non-existent task. Li Yongzuo could not find himself and would definitely cause trouble for the girl Ma San, so he decided to go to the State Guesthouse to check it out, and disguise himself in the carriage to look like Wufu last night.

When Zhu Yinglong drove to the State Guesthouse, he found that there were a large group of people surrounding the state Guesthouse. Zhu Yinglong's carriage could not reach the door at all. For safety reasons, Zhu Yinglong stayed on the carriage. Xu Yingyuan got out of the carriage and squeezed into the crowd to find out what had happened. At this time, it was already close to Magu, Ma San and ten people who were captured by Ruofeng City.

Xu Yingyuan soon found out the news and returned to the car. It turned out that in order to attract Wufu (that is, Zhu Yinglong), Li Yongzuo deliberately beat Ma San back with bruises. The onlookers were just watching that he was beaten to death and was covered in blood. Ma San was thrown into a small alley near the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse by the servants of the Hou family in Ruofengcheng. Ma San tried his best to drag his broken legs to climb to the door of the State Guesthouse. Finally, he exhausted his energy and fainted.

After hearing this, Zhu Yinglong's face suddenly appeared. Ruofengcheng Hou was too brave. His son's misbehavior was harmful to the will of heaven. Not only did he not discipline him, but he was a protector of his shortcomings. This abominable thing made Zhu Yinglong very angry. Everyone was beaten like this. The girl named Ma San must be very dangerous.

Just now nine people rushed out of the State Guesthouse. Seeing Ma San who was seriously injured, he rushed over and carried the people back with all his might. The human rights of the onlookers slowly dissipated. Soon a pair of patrol officers and soldiers rushed over after getting news.

Zhu Yinglong had an ominous premonition that something must have happened. He immediately ordered: "Let's go to the Censors of the Five City!" Zhu Yinglong had another layer of concern. Unless he arrested the Marquis of Ruofeng City, the problem would still not be solved. It's not that he didn't want to touch the Marquis of Ruofeng City. The key is that Li Yongzuo will lead a series of honors and relatives behind Li Yongzuo. These people have a great energy. Although they can't control the bureau, it will definitely be a headache to drag their legs behind you. They have a great influence in the army. Although he is trying his best to weaken the influence of these people, it will not be eradicated for a long time. A large part of the new army is the original officers and soldiers of the Jingying Camp and the Jingwei, and their disciples. Although many of them are now compressed into the City Defense Office, the impact is still there.

Before the new army became his loyal army, he did not want to touch these people, so as not to interfere with his new army's reorganization and training plan. He was about to march south, and the direction and stability of the capital still needed the cooperation of these people, so he wanted to deal with these people after he had finished disposing of Wei Zhongxian. The second concern was that he did not want to reveal his identity. In his heart, he wanted to pursue love with a reciprocal identity. He also wanted to know that without the emperor's robes and the skin left by Zhu Youjian, could he get a girl's love and not leave a regret for his life? Although he also knew that there was no regret in life, he could not give up this pursuit, right? So he wanted to use the power of the Censor's Patrol Office to figure things out first, and then make a decision.

Zhou Wenyuan was in charge of the five cities of the Censors' Patrol of the Yamen, but he was also the second in charge of Shadow. Ruofengcheng Marquis Li Yongzuo privately dispatched troops to set up an ambush to capture Magu and nine people with him, and injured Ma San to return. He soon learned from various channels of Shadow that this matter involved a Hou. Even if Zhu Yinglong did not go to him, he would still report to Zhu Yinglong about the matter. He also had to report the true identity of Magu's business. Just as he was about to set off to the palace, Zhu Yinglong's carriage arrived at his Yamen. It was a coincidence, otherwise it would have been a waste of a long time to go back and forth.
