Chapter 65: Assassination in the Night
Bu Qianchen sent Chu Zixuan away, walked outside Chu Tianlei's dormitory, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the temple that was still lit by candles, holding the hand of the sword at his waist, tightly clasped to death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Left Commander."
"Well, be in good spirits, don't let anyone get close to the emperor's bedroom."
"Yes!"
The night was getting darker, and when everyone showed a trace of fatigue and fatigue, Bu Qianchen took advantage of his position to break into Chu Tianlei's dormitory in the interval between patrols.
The sword in his hand was unsheathed, and by the light of the candle flame, the sword body reflected a trace of cold light.
Bu Qianchen looked at Chu Tianlei on the dragon couch, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stabbed at Chu Tianlei's vital point.
Chu Tianlei has been fighting horses for half his life, even if the years of polishing have made his body not as good as back then, he still woke up from his sleep, his body instinctively resisted the danger, rolled over into the dragon couch, and dodged the fatal blow of Bu Qianchen.
But Chu Tianlei's arm was still cut by the sharp sword body in Bu Qianchen's hand, and blood immediately seeped out from his white sleeves, instantly staining red.
"Who dares to assassinate me?"
Bu Qianchen didn't answer, the sword in his hand was even more ruthless, the knife was deadly, and there was no mercy in the slightest.
Chu Tianlei used the jade pillow on the dragon couch as a resist, retreated from the small dragon couch, and only after receiving multiple sword wounds did he stand in the temple and pull out the protective sword.
The Praetorian Guards outside the door heard an unusual noise coming from the temple, and there was a rush of footsteps, like they were running over.
Chu Tianlei's eyes brightened because he saw the dawn, and his years of combat experience did not make him show any cowardice in the face of death.
Bu Qianchen's hand holding the sword clenched tighter, and with a hint of sword whistle, he stabbed towards Chu Tianlei's heart.
Chu Tianlei was much weaker because of the sword wound on his arm, and the heavy force coming from Bu Qianchen's wrist could not be resolved.
The body quickly retreated, and the speed at which Bu Qianchen rushed straight was obviously faster and more ruthless than Chu Tianlei.
At the moment when the tip of the sword was about to pierce in, Bu Qianchen remembered Tuoya's advice, and the tip of the sword deviated by a point without leaving a trace through Chu Tianlei's resistance.
Hearing that the Praetorian Guards had broken in, Bu Qianchen pulled out the sword that had pierced Chu Tianlei's body suddenly, a pillar of blood spurted out, and Chu Tianlei fell to the ground with a thud.
Bu Qianchen fled through the window, and the palace was thrown into chaos, and the assassin's whereabouts were hunted for him.
Bu Qianchen fled back to the room, hurriedly changed out of blood-stained clothes, bandaged the wounds on his body briefly, changed into clean clothes again, tore off the face towel on his face, and quickly integrated into the search team.
Qinglong Emperor Chu Tianlei fell into a coma, in order to prevent the turmoil that affected the situation, Chu Tianlei's assassination was kept secret, but some important ministers of the court were already waiting outside the palace, waiting for news from Chu Tianlei.
Bu Qianchen found Chu Yifan, and said with a panicked expression: "Lord Wang, it's not good, something happened in the palace." ”
Chu Yifan has been grounded for many days, and his spirit has been in a high degree of tension, he is not unclear about his father's temper, he has been worried for many days that Chu Tianlei will take this opportunity to weaken his strength.
Seeing Bu Qianchen's panicked look, Chu Yifan was easily infected, since he met Bu Qianchen through the princess and knew his relationship with the princess, Chu Yifan also asked someone to check Bu Qianchen's origin many times.
It's a pity that I haven't found any useful information, only that he is a businessman and has a solid family. In addition, through his observation, Bu Qianchen is a very calm person, if something big hadn't happened, Bu Qianchen would never have shown such an expression.
Chu Yifan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The emperor was assassinated last night."
"What? Father, how is he now? Is there a danger to life? Chu Yifan's wide sleeves accidentally scraped the teacup on the table, and the tea flowed out and slowly dripped down the corner of the table.
Bu Qianchen condensed and said: "It seems to be very serious, it is said that he is still in a coma." ”
"Who the hell is it? There is such a big boldness. After all, it is Chu Yifan's father, and when he heard that Chu Tianlei was assassinated, his first reaction was that he was concerned.
"Didn't the second prince instruct someone to do this?" Bu Qianchen's eyes showed a cold light, and he looked at Chu Yifan with deep meaning.
"Bold, how dare you frame this king at will?" Chu Yifan's reaction was very fierce, what a great crime it was to assassinate the emperor, and no one would be willing to bear this charge.
Bu Qianchen's face did not change, and he said with a tentative and questioning tone: "I heard that the assassin dropped an object when he fled, which is the second prince's personal 'Xiang' token, is the second prince really not knowing?" ”
The green tendons on Chu Yifan's forehead bulged, and his eyes seemed to be about to pop out of fear, "What did you say?" Is this true? How is that possible, how can this be? ”
Chu Yifan sat down in his chair and muttered: "This king's token was lost a year ago, this token is very important, I am afraid that my father will blame me, so I have not dared to report it, but I have been sending people to secretly find out, who is the person who wants to frame this king?" ”
"Lost a year ago?"
The prince's token is used to mobilize his troops, seeing cards is like seeing people, such an important thing is lost, if the Qinglong Emperor knows, he will definitely not be lightly blamed, Chu Yifan does not dare to say it, it is reasonable. It's just that he never thought that someone would use him to assassinate the emperor.
"It must be him, it must be Chu Yichen, it must be him who stole my token, and then asked someone to blame me."
Bu Qianfan said: "Lord Wang, what is the use of you saying this now?" Do you think you can still make this clear? If the emperor wakes up, I'm afraid the first thing will be to arrest you and bring you to justice, and you will be charged with killing the king. ”
"This king can explain to his father."
"Explain what? Say you lost your token? Do you think this sin is small? Let's take a step back, even if the emperor believes you for the time being, how much chance do you have to turn over? The emperor is suspicious, but I am afraid that he will never be able to fully trust you from the bottom of his heart. If he becomes the emperor one day, will he leave you a way to live? But if the emperor doesn't believe you......"
Bu Qianchen didn't continue, he knew that Chu Yifan was a smart person, and there was no need for him to say more about the current situation, it was only a matter of time before he was forced to rebel.
"Then what do you think this king should do now?"
"Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor did not wake up, Chu Yichen did not rush back to Zhaoye, and he did not stop doing anything." Bu Qianchen shook the void with his big hand, as if Chu Tianlei's life was already under their control.
"There are not many people that this king can mobilize, not as many as the second prince and the sixth brother."
When it came to the Sixth Prince, Chu Yifan remembered Toya's promise to him, "Send a message to the Third Imperial Concubine on my behalf, just say that I need her help now, and she will naturally understand." ”
