Chapter 172: Official Assassination

With Emperor Yuan's will, several princes were busy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The crown prince sacrificed to the sky on behalf of Emperor Yuan, which is a major event that cannot be overlooked. The officials of the Ministry of Rites drafted one charter after another and submitted it to Chu Zhaoheng, but Chu Zhaoheng vetoed it, "The Nanjiang flash flood, the people are in disaster, everything can be simple." ”

Deletion and deletion, even the send-off outside the city of hundreds of officials are saved, and finally the prince Luan is left to drive to Huangjue Temple, and recite the sacrificial text in the Babel Tower of Huangjue Temple.

Emperor Yuan took this charter and nodded.

The crown prince Chu Zhaoheng strives to be frugal and unassuming, and Emperor Yuan is very satisfied, "In the end, the prince will leave Beijing, or let the hundred officials see him off at the city gate." ”

"Father, son-in-law is just sacrificing to heaven on behalf of his father, and it will only take ten days to go back and forth. The hundreds of officials have to send them off for another day, and it is inconvenient for the people at the city gate to enter and exit, so it is better not to disturb the people. ”

"It's fine. In that case, let's follow this charter. ”

After Emperor Yuan agreed, Chu Zhaoheng and the Prince's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare for the trip.

Mingfu stayed to take care of the East Palace, the crown prince and the young master were old, and Chu Zhaoheng asked them to stay, so as not to be tired.

Feng Ping went back to Yanfu and did not follow the trip.

On the third day, the crown prince Chu Zhaoheng packed up and stopped in front of the morning court to bid farewell to Emperor Yuan.

"You go early and come back early, and then bring two imperial doctors with you, your body is weak, just in case."

"Yes, thank you, father." Chu Zhaoheng kowtowed and thanked him.

If he does not obey the order and leave Beijing as soon as possible, it is difficult to ensure that his father will no longer have more doubts. Emperor Yuan just didn't believe Qin Tianjian's words, but he believed in the Mandate of Heaven.

After bidding farewell to Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan went to the early dynasty, and the prince Chu Zhaoheng sat on the prince Luan, went out of the south city gate, drove lightly, and went to Huangjue Temple.

This is the first time Chu Zhaoheng has left Kyoto City.

Out of Nancheng, he ignored everyone's dissuasion, insisted on changing horses, let Prince Luan drive behind, and took Zhaofu and Zhaoshou with him, as well as Chen Ang and Jiang Lichun, escorted by Jiang Yue, and a group of more than 20 people should go first.

In the past few days, it is rare to have the sun every day, and the sun is warm.

After riding for a long time, Chu Zhaoheng felt a little tired, and his body was slightly sweaty.

"Childe, just rest here for a while." Jiang Yue looked behind him, and he couldn't see the team walking with the Yijia, so he proposed to rest on the side of the road for a while.

"Yes, Childe, let's rest here for a while, and wait for the people behind us to catch up." Chen Ang is a civil official, and he can't stand it for a long time.

"Good! Just take a break here. "Chu Zhaoheng looked at the place Jiang Yue chose, it was quite good.

This is the side of the official road, there is still some distance from the foothills on the left, about a mile ahead, it is the turn of the official road, turn around and you will reach the other side of the foothills, you can't see it. On the right, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a forest, and from a distance, the stars are green, and the branches burst with new shoots.

Chu Zhaoheng dismounted, threw the reins to Zhaofu, and slowly walked on the grassy slope by himself, looking at the scenery.

Jiang Yue saw that Chu Zhaoheng agreed, and hurriedly dismounted, and took the guards to spread felt and set up a tent.

Soon, the tent was set up, and Jiang Yue saw that Chu Zhaoheng was almost at the edge of the woods, so he hurriedly rushed over, wanting to invite him back to rest for a while.

Chen Ang and Jiang Lichun rested for a while, relieved themselves, and saw Chu Zhaoheng walking towards the edge of the woods, and slowly followed.

At this time, Jiang Yue suddenly felt that the situation was different, and several figures rushed out of the woods.

He shouted, "Your Highness, be careful! While pulling out his waist knife, he kicked his feet and rushed towards Chu Zhaoheng.

In the woods, more than a dozen masked people appeared, armed with sharp knives.

"Bold! Who are you! Jiang Yue kicked away a masked man's knife and asked.

The men did not speak, but stabbed with their swords.

Chu Zhaoheng had never practiced martial arts, and seeing that Jiang Yue was blocking the masked man, he hurriedly retreated to the official road.

Chen Ang and Jiang Lichun, two civil officials, were stunned when they saw this.

Jiang Lichun was the first to react, shouting, "Your Highness be careful, come here", and rushed to Chu Zhaoheng's side as he spoke. I ran in such a hurry that I forgot that I was wearing a literati's robe, and suddenly I tripped over the hem of my robe and fell up.

Jiang Lichun couldn't care about his demeanor anymore, got up, lifted the hem of his robe and stuffed it at his belt, and ran over again.

Chen Ang looked at those masked people, his face was stunned, and when he heard Jiang Lichun's words, he woke up like a dream, and shouted to several other guards, "You guys, go up and help and block those people." As he spoke, he also followed behind Jiang Lichun, lifted the hem of his robe, and ran to Chu Zhaoheng's side.

Chu Zhaoheng had already retreated to the side of the official road.

He took nine guards with him, and at this point, the guards rushed up to block the masked assassin.

Zhaofu has learned some kung fu with fists and feet, and when he saw this, he wanted Chu Zhaoheng to get on the horse.

A masked man looked at this side, raised his hand, and Zhao Fu rolled on the spot to dodge, and the hidden weapon thrown by the masked man beckoned to the horse.

The horse was frightened by the pain, raised his hooves and ran.

Zhao Fu was still holding the reins of the horse in his hand, and he was not born with divine power, so he couldn't pull the horse, and he saw that he was going to be dragged down. He didn't care about pulling the horse again, threw off the reins of the horse, and ran to Chu Zhaoheng's side, protecting him.

The martial arts of those masked people are not weak.

After Jiang Yue handed over the leader, he was entangled. He saw that there were no guards to escort Chu Zhaoheng, so he was very anxious, and turned his head to see that several guards with him were all coming to his side to help, and wanted to call "you go to protect the prince", but the masked man who fought with him did not find a space to speak.

Chu Zhaoheng retreated to the side of the official road, and at this time, three more people sprang out of the woods and went directly to Chu Zhaoheng's side to kill.

Zhao Fu kicked away a masked man's knife, pulled up Chu Zhaoheng, and ran forward.

Running backwards, as long as they meet the guards who are followed by Prince Luan, they will be saved, but with masked men standing behind them, they can only move forward.

Chu Zhaoheng ran two steps, but he couldn't run.

Jiang Lichun and Chen Ang had already run to Chu Zhaoheng's side, and seeing this, Jiang Lichun didn't care about jumping up and hugged the leg of a masked man.

The masked man shook his legs, shook it twice, but he didn't shake it off, he hesitated, raised the handle of the knife, and knocked Jiang Lichun on the neck, knocking him unconscious.

Before Jiang Lichun fainted, he was still holding the man's leg with all his strength. After fainting, the hand loosened weakly.

Chen Ang called out "Brother Jiang" and hurriedly helped him up to check.

At this time, at the corner of the foothills ahead, a group of people turned around.

The group of people saw that there was a fight here, and saw Chu Zhaoheng and Zhaofu running towards them, so they hurriedly raised their knives and were vigilant.

The team, apparently the family members of which family, brought more than twenty nursing homes, with two carriages in the middle.

On a carriage, the corner of the curtain was lifted and looked this way. (To be continued.) )
