Chapter 44: The Assassination of the Imperial Palace

On a moonless night, the palace is brilliantly lit, but it is inexplicably lonely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Liu Cang arrived at the Xiantai Palace, Liu Zhuang had already ordered people to wait.

Qin Jin followed behind Liu Cang, but his mind was a mess. The crown prince deceived His Royal Highness, he knew, but he didn't know what would happen later.

Liu Cang entered the main hall, and there were no extra words, he strode directly to Liu Zhuang's eyes, his eyes were round, and he was a little red: "Why lie to me?!" ”

Liu Zhuang's expression was faint, and he still sat calmly. Rao had known for a long time that there would be such a day, but his hands were still unconsciously clenched into fists.

"What are you lying about?" Liu Zhuang asked knowingly.

Liu Cang only felt frustrated, and his momentum dropped halfway in an instant, and after a while, his expression was complicated: "Brother! ”

He rarely calls Liu Zhuang like that, either the imperial brother or the fourth brother.

"Why lie to me, Mu Qing...... Mu Qing ...... "He couldn't say the next words, and he choked up a little, as if as long as he said it, it would come true."

Liu Cang's mood at the moment was very complicated, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Mu Qing is not dead, he should be happy; The fourth brother lied to him, he should be sad; Mu Qing disappeared suddenly, he should be six gods and no master; When he saw the fourth brother, he should ...... He couldn't think of what to do.

After entering the palace to see his mother, it was the queen mother who wanted to discuss marriage with him, and the whole process was in a trance and absent-minded. went out of the palace and returned home, but she couldn't find her again. For a while, he only felt God's joke, and he just wanted to find her. went to the Prince's Mansion, but found no trace of her, and felt that it was unlikely that she would return to Dakefeng, so he directly found the palace.

"She's gone." What Liu Zhuang said was the truth, but he also deliberately avoided sensitive topics.

"She's indeed gone," Liu Cang intuitively felt his breath getting heavier and his voice darker.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little quiet, as if the wind was blowing through the window, lifting the interior curtains.

"Where is she now?" Suddenly, Liu Cang became excited, and his eyes stared at Liu Zhuang, wanting to see something from the almost identical pupils.

"You took the person away, and you entered the palace halfway. Now you can't find it, but why are you looking for me again? Liu Zhuang took a sip of tea and raised his head and asked. He thinks he knows Won-hee very well, and he is by no means an unreasonable person.

"Brother, don't you want to lie to me!" almost roared, his voice was hoarse, Liu Cang's eyes were red, and with a wave of his hand, he pushed the tea offered by the little girl to the ground. The little girl hurriedly knelt down, ignoring the debris on the ground.

Qin Jin listened to Liu Zhuang's words, but he was happy in his heart, the prince must be telling the truth, and hurriedly persuaded Liu Cang: "Master, what the prince said is right, since Miss Muqing is gone, she will definitely not come here, and besides, she can't find this!" There is no reason to come to the crown prince, and he will deceive you again. The top priority should be to find Miss Li well. ”

Qin Jin's persuasion was reasonable, sharp and incisive, and even Liu Zhuang looked at him with a little more appreciation, but he didn't expect Qin Jin's brain to turn so fast.

Liu Cang listened, calmed down a little, and saw the little girl kneeling, and the rare anger was monstrous: "What are you doing kneeling here, why don't you go and change a cup of tea!" ”

As if she had received amnesty, the little girl crawled out of the door.

"Yuan Xi, I did hide from you that Mu Qing is still alive. However, believe it or not, Lone didn't take Mu Qing away. Liu Zhuang spoke earnestly and closed his eyes.

"But why didn't she say goodbye!" Liu Cang sat back in his seat and asked rhetorically.

She was like this at the beginning, quietly leaving Hengxian County. Besides, when she entered the imperial capital, she offended the king of Chu. Liu Zhuang meant something.

"Second brother, you say? How could Mu Qing have offended the second brother! Although Liu Cang said so, he already believed half of it in his heart.

"Hmm." Liu Zhuang nodded, but shook his head again: "My people have already visited the Chu Palace, and Mu Qing was indeed tied up there, but he has already left." ”

"You mean, Mu Qing was taken away?" Liu Cang was thoughtful, could it be that Mr. He came to the imperial capital? Mr. He is not a man in the world, and his martial arts are unfathomable. If Mr. He took her back to Dakefeng, he wouldn't have to look for her again.

Thinking in my head, I am already muttering in my mouth. Liu Zhuang has such a good ear that he has already taken these words into his ears.

"You're talking about He Jiao?" Liu Zhuang asked, but there was more jealousy in his heart. Even if this person comes and goes without a trace, he can still take away two people from the Chu King's Mansion without knowing it, and his strength must not be underestimated. But if it were him, he really didn't have to worry about Mu Qing's safety.

In that case, let's settle the matter at hand first.

seemed to have gotten the answer, Liu Cang didn't say much, saw that the little girl had changed to a tea cup, took a sip, and turned to leave. He wants to go back to Dakefeng and wait for her.

"There are assassins!"

"Someone's coming,"

"Assassin!"

As soon as I came out of the door, I heard a voice in the distance. Almost instantly, it was a mess. The torches were swaying everywhere, and the guards guarding the palace were in an orderly manner, and they went to the source of life, and some of the palace people held their breath and did not dare to make a noise, and some were frightened and shouted and screamed everywhere.

Liu Cang has been outside all the year round, and he has never seen such a battle, so he only stands stupidly at the door.

When Liu Zhuang heard this, he had already hurriedly walked to the door, and ordered by the way: "Qin Jin, protect your master!" ”

Saying this, his steps were fast, and he had already gone to the emperor's palace.

Liu Cang came back to his senses and immediately followed. His father has always loved him, although he doesn't know martial arts, but he also has to protect his father. However, Liu Cang has been frail since he was a child, and he came to this palace in a hurry, and he was already mentally exhausted, how could he keep up with Liu Zhuang, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood?

It's just that in this palace, the guards are tight, and even he has been interrogated when he came in, so how did the assassin get into the palace?

Qin Jin had already pulled out the dagger and protected it around Liu Cang. Except for the guards with swords, no other weapons can be carried in the palace.

Although there is chaos in the palace, it is not unsafe everywhere, with Qin Jin here, Liu Cang has gone all the way, and it is quite smooth.

However, the voices of palace people calling for help came from time to time, which really startled Liu Cang. The Assassins seemed to be pervasive, moving around with no pity. In addition to this, there seems to be quite a few of them, and they are well trained.

The cold light flashed, the sword aura was overwhelming, and before Liu Cang could react, Qin Jin's dagger had already swung out, blocking the attack of a masked man. The man was dressed in eunuch clothes, only a black scarf and his face was masked, and his skills were extraordinary.

"Protect the prince!" Qin Jin scolded, and a nearby guard rushed to help. But there are also masked people who heard the word "prince" and attacked this side.

Qin Jin took out his empty hand and immediately protected Liu Cang's back, swearing to protect his master to the death.

It was only half a pillar of incense, and it had become a small battlefield, with mottled blood on the delicate cobblestone floor, and a disgusting smell of blood in the air from time to time.
