Chapter 16: Assassination

The worship ceremony has arrived, and there is still not much progress in the case.

Regarding Gu worms, Baochun didn't know anything about them, so he couldn't study them.

During this period, several more people were found out, and after comparing the portraits, they were also missing people in the rivers and lakes.

Obviously, like those two, as soon as they were found out, they bled to death, so they didn't even think to ask anything out of their mouths.

Clouds lingered over the capital.

On the day of the worship ceremony, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty came to the Great Power Temple.

Baochun and Rong Zheng also got up early and prepared to go to the Great Power Temple.

After Baochun finished feeding the two children, sat down to eat breakfast, and casually asked his son if he wanted to go together, the bear child was at the age of being curious about everything, and he should not want to miss this lively scene that only happens once a year.

But obviously she miscalculated, and the bear child didn't go, saying that it was nothing to see.

Baochun looked at Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng peeled two eggs and put them on the plates of his daughter-in-law and son, "It's really nothing to look at, if it weren't for something, I wouldn't go." ”

Bao Chunxin said, this is nothing to look at, it is clear that the thoughts of the father and son are on the twins.

After eating and handing over the children to their grandparents, the couple went to the Great Power Temple.

The foot of the Great Power Temple Mountain has been under martial law by the Imperial Forest Army, and the deployment is not leaky.

Sun Ping personally inspected the defense.

Baochun and Rong Zheng, who got out of the carriage, walked over, and Baochun looked up at the mountain, "How is it?" ”

Sun Ping said, "What should be cleared has been cleared, and what should be defended has also been laid with people, and it can almost be said that even a fly doesn't want to fly in, as for what happens next, it will be up to fate." ”

Rong Zheng looked around, "Some masters can't prevent even if they arrange more people." ”

"It's true that people like you two can't be prevented, but those people on the rivers and lakes can still resist for a while." Sun Ping frowned, "You say, they will really attack the emperor today?" ”

Baochun shook his head, "Now we don't even know who the other party is, so it's hard to judge, but what else can they do if they go to great lengths to sneak into the Great Power Temple to be disadvantageous to the emperor?" There is nothing else to be seen in the Great Power Temple? ”

Sun Ping sighed, "That's what I said, so my nerves have been tense since a few days ago, but don't really have anything wrong." ”

"How's my father?" Baochun asked.

"The emperor thinks about it." Sun Ping was helpless, "It is said that someone really wants his life, even if it is useless to hide in the palace every day, it is better to come out generously, whoever wants to assassinate them will come, just to see who is behind the scenes, saying that there has been no progress in the disappearance case, and maybe you can find out some clues this time." ”

The three of them said as they walked up the mountain.

The time for the worship ceremony has not yet arrived, and the emperor and the hundred officials are resting in the backyard.

When Baochun and the others were led in, Xuan Yin was talking to the emperor.

"Senior sister and Little Lord Rong are here." Xuan Yin saw them say to the emperor.

"Just as I was talking about you two, you are coming." The emperor smiled, looked in good spirits, turned his face to Xuan Yin and complained, "I told them and didn't let them come, but they just didn't listen, young people always like to make a fuss, assassination this kind of thing, from childhood to adulthood, I don't know how much I have experienced, but don't you see that I am still standing here?" ”

Xuan Yin said, "They are also concerned about your safety, besides, a series of strange things have happened recently, you can't help but be careful." ”

Baochun said, "Senior brother is right, wait a minute, when the worship begins, Rong Zheng and I will follow you." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Although Liu Chen said that they were too cautious, they were actually very useful in their hearts.

Xuan Yin said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time, it's time for us to go out." ”

The emperor got up, "Then let's go." ”

Immediately afterwards, the music sounded, and a team of civil and military officials led by the emperor slowly walked towards the main hall.

Bao Chun and Rong Zheng followed closely behind the emperor, vigilantly around, as for the worship ceremony and what the emperor said, it didn't enter her mind at all.

However, from beginning to end, it was unusually smooth, and there was no mess.

Baochun still wondered, could it be that they were too careful?

Finally, when the last link came, the emperor led the hundred officials to kneel and worship, and the worship ceremony came to an end.

Seeing this, Baochun said to Rong Zheng silently, "It's all right." ”

It's just that without waiting for the other party to react, something happened to happen.

Before the emperor and the civil and military officials got up, Baochun and Rong Zheng stood up suddenly, drew their swords from the ground, and shot down the arrow that was shot at the emperor.

"Oh my God, there are assassins."

"Disperse."

"Run."

"Go and protect the emperor."

For a while, there was a pot of porridge inside and outside the hall, and those officials ran around in fright like headless flies.

Rong Zheng flew into the air, and wherever the dragon sword went, the arrows landed one after another.

Baochun looked back at those officials who usually looked loyal, and when it came to the matter, just thinking about holding their heads and running for their lives, it was just that there were people in front and behind, and a chaotic situation was formed in which many people stepped on and bumped into each other.

Baochun was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, these things were not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and the emperor was almost squeezed out, and suddenly yelled, "Stop me." ”

Her voice was full of skill, and after she finished roaring, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Baochun kicked away the person who fell on her, and then hurried over and protected the emperor in front of him, "What are you running, what are you talking like in a mess, look at your appearance as an official, Manager Sun, the emperor has me here, you take someone to assist Rong Xiaowang and my senior brother." ”

"Yes." Mr. Sun led the people away.

Those officials must have seen that Chief Manager Sun didn't ask the emperor for instructions, so they listened to her words, and swallowed all the words in their mouths at the moment.

Bao Chunfeng's sword was horizontal in front of his chest, the cold was shaking, the cold was sensitive, and he looked back at Liu Chen, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, I will escort you to a safe place, the terrain here is too high, it is easy to form a target, we have to withdraw." ”

Liu Chen gave her a reassuring look, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not an unarmed person." As he spoke, he drew the sword in his hand.

Bao Chun nodded to him and said to the panicked officials, "Follow me." ”

Everyone should be, and they don't dare to say that they shouldn't, Baochun's face is not much better than those assassins, the fierce and vicious momentum, it is not a problem to kill them on the spot, these people can be regarded as seeing the legendary Princess Anping's killing decision and fierce momentum, since what Baochun said, what should they do.

As soon as he left the door of the main hall, he ran into several people wearing clown masks.

The officials who followed behind exclaimed in surprise.

Baochun lifted his sword, pulled a sword flower, and directly cast Feng Ming's killing move, and the figure was fast and only the phantom remained, and it was almost a blink of an eye, and the three of them were solved.

The remaining one rushed up again, and the target was Baochun.

It's just that before Baochun could get in front of him, the emperor actually waved his sword and rushed out from behind Baochun and attacked the man.

That man probably didn't want to, but he was stabbed by the emperor's sword and fell to the ground.

The emperor drew his sword and was as happy as a child, "How is it?" I'll just say I'm not old......"

looked like he was seeking praise, but when he saw Baochun's gloomy face, he suddenly shut up and silently rubbed back behind his daughter.

"Something to be excited about?" Bao Chun was furious, "What time is it now?" Can't you just stay behind me? ”

The Emperor lowered his head and muttered, "I want to stand in front of you to protect you, be careful behind you!" ”

Bao Chun didn't even look back, and with a sword in his hand, he pierced the person wearing the clown mask who attacked him, "It's not a question of who protects whom now, it's very likely that we are all in danger today, Rong Zheng and my senior brother have been going for so long and haven't come back, they must have met the assassin." Baochun looked at the front and couldn't help but express the worry in his heart.

The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, "Even Master Xuanyin and Rong Boy feel stabbed, who is that?" ”

"These masked ten ** are those missing masters of the rivers and lakes." Bao Chun swept his eyes and found that these dead people were the same as the two dead last time, and they contained Gu worms in their bodies, "These people are being manipulated, I think the person who stabbed them should have also come to control them." ”

The officials behind were all terrified.

Liu Chen couldn't help asking, "Who is it?" ”

As he was saying this, suddenly a person was knocked into the air and fell from mid-air to the vicinity of Baochun like a parabola.

Baochun looked over and was shocked, "Senior brother, how are you?" ”

"Master, are you injured? Who hurt you? Liu Chen hurriedly squatted down and asked.

Baochun hurriedly took out a needle and pricked a few big holes.

Master Xuanyin slowly gasped, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to Baochun, "Quick, leave with the emperor, yes, yes......"

"Who is it?" Liu Chen patted his chest, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"It's me." Xuan Yin was about to speak, and someone had already taken the lead.

Hearing this voice, Baochun's head suddenly exploded, and he stood up suddenly, pulling the emperor and Xuan Yin behind him, "It's you?" ”

"You don't seem so surprised by your expression, you should think of me." People come slowly and carefully.

Bao Chun quietly clenched the sword in his hand, "When I heard the rumors of the temple map, I thought of you immediately, but when I found out that those missing people were controlled by Gu worms, I was not so sure." ”

The national teacher slowly stepped forward.

Baochun, who was in front of the emperor and Master Xuanyin, couldn't help but retreat unconsciously.

The national teacher smiled and stopped suddenly, "The rumor is indeed spread by me, but what I want to correct is that it is not a rumor, the map of the temple is indeed in the capital." ”

Baochun said, "It doesn't matter to me if the map is not mapped, what do you want to do today?" ”

The national teacher's gaze looked at Liu Chen, "Have you forgotten that you still owe me a life, and you killed my only bloodline......

Bao Chun snorted, "It wasn't me who killed her, it was ......"

"However, I won't kill you, you're still useful, I'm going to kill him." The national teacher pointed at Liu Chen, "It's the same father and daughter, without me losing my daughter, you still share the truth of family happiness." ”
