In the middle of the night, in ancient times, time was not so detailed, but Su Mingyu knew that it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning, but the twenty-three assassins who had said that they had not "appeared" for a long time.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the time to kill, but at this moment, the war mansion is dark and blind, and the mansion is surprisingly quiet, all the subordinates in the mansion have been dismissed in advance, and even the guards on duty at night have been sent to the backyard by Zhan Hongyu and have fallen asleep early. And in this surprisingly quiet inner house, three figures were sitting around a stone table.

Su Mingyu sat on the stone bench, standing for a while and sitting for a while, looking extremely excited, on the other hand, Zhan Hongyu, who was sitting on the side, kept his brows locked from beginning to end, looking at Su Mingyu's restless appearance of jumping up and down, he opened his mouth several times, until Su Mingyu was about to shake him dizzy, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Emperor, don't be impatient, Your Excellency said that the assassins will come tonight, and they will definitely come." ”

Su Mingyu glanced at him, then turned his head to look at his lover calmly sipping the tea that was already a little cool in the cup, and then sat back on the stone bench, drank two cups of tea in a row, took a deep breath, and said impatiently: "Why hasn't this assassin come yet, I'm waiting to die in a hurry." "The only person in the world who is looking forward to being assassinated by the assassin and who is extremely excited is probably Su Mingyu.

As soon as he finished speaking, a lot of black shadows quickly sprang out from the wall of the inner house, all of them without exception wearing night clothes and black face scarves, and counting them carefully, no more, no less, just twenty-three.

Seeing this, Su Mingyu jumped up with a "whoosh", and came out with a northeastern accent: "Oh mom, it's finally here, hahahaha......"

The laughter echoed in this empty mansion of the war mansion, and the twenty-three black shadows paused in unison, and Zhan Hongyu couldn't sit still after him, and rushed forward before the Emperor Xudu could speak, and immediately entangled with one of the black-clothed men who seemed to be the leader.

In fact, he and Su Mingyu's mood was diametrically opposed, for this assassination incident, Zhan Hongyu felt extremely angry, the emperor and the queen deigned to live in his mansion, and actually encountered such a thing as assassination, Zhan Hongyu said that he couldn't accept it. Zunshang is the person he respects and admires the most, and this group of rats actually dared to assassinate Zunshang, Zhan Hongyu decided to let these assassins who are not long-eyed have no return, and at the same time sent these assassins Liu Shaohuan, Zhan Hongyu also decided to give him a good record of "brilliant" strokes.

Su Mingyu looked at Zhan Hongyu, who rushed forward one step ahead of him, and shouted not to be left behind: "I'll come too!" As he spoke, he rushed forward.

Since the time when the assassins came, Emperor Xudu had been sitting calmly on the stone bench, holding a teacup in his hand, tender as water, and watching the scene of Su Mingyu fighting in the crowd with a doting face.

This fight scene is really nothing to see, and it is completely one-sided. No way, neither of them is mortal, no matter how powerful the martial arts of these twenty-three assassins are, they can't beat Su Mingyu and Zhan Hongyu, who have cultivation. In a short time, twenty-three men in black lay on the ground.

Su Mingyu walked up to the nearest man in black, squatted down, ripped off his headscarf, and revealed a plain face. Who sent you!? ”

Zhan Hongyu: "......"

Su Mingyu seemed to feel something, turned his head to look at Zhan Hongyu's constipated expression, and said confidently: "Look at what!" There are Assassins who have come to assassinate us, shouldn't I ask them for details? ”

The corners of Zhan Hongyu's mouth twitched, and he nodded: "...... Yes, what the emperor said makes a lot of sense. ”

Su Mingyu gave him a look of "count your acquaintances", turned around, put on an expression that he thought was fierce, and shouted: "You only have two ways now, first, don't say a word, and then be killed by me; Second, tell me who sent you, and then I will kill you. ”

The black-clothed man was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Su Mingyu indifferently, and spit out a word with difficulty: "Liu." Then he bit down the poison hidden in his teeth in advance, and then spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and immediately lost his breath, and the other twenty-two people also committed suicide by poisoning one after another. The twenty-three of them are all dead soldiers cultivated in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this mission is to assassinate Su Mingyu and the others, if they succeed, they can go back to their lives with their whole bodies, and if they fail, their lives can only be explained here, which is the criterion that they have been instilled in the process of being cultivated. And there is another premise of this mission, that is, no matter whether the mission fails in the end or not, they must tell Zhan Hongyu who sent them, which is another purpose of Liu Shaohuan - to test Zhan Hongyu.

Su Mingyu kicked the assassin who had lost his breath boringly, and left a sentence: "It doesn't mean anything at all, Liu Shaohuan's old thing doesn't send a few powerful assassins, these twenty-three people are completely cannon fodder!" Su Mingyu expressed extreme disappointment with the assassination incident.

Emperor Xudu put down the teacup, stepped forward, hugged Su Mingyu's waist in front of Zhan Hongyu, and said softly: "Since Liu Shaohuan can find trouble with us, then we can also go to trouble him." ”

Su Mingyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he instantly "resurrected with full blood", and he planned to go to the Xiangfu for a night tour immediately with his lover.

Emperor Xudu hurriedly dragged him back and said, "It's not too early now, let's change the day!" ”

Su Mingyu pursed his lips, blinked a pair of big wet eyes that seemed to be able to speak, pretended to be a cute little white rabbit, and said, "But what if I can't sleep now?" ”

Zhan Hongyu blushed with an old face, took two steps forward, bowed down in front of Su Mingyu and the two who showed affection, and said: "Your Excellency, the emperor, if there is nothing to do, your subordinates will retire first." ”

Emperor Xudu bowed slightly, and then said: "Deal with the aftermath." ”

"Yes!" Zhan Hongyu hurriedly agreed, and then bowed and retreated. He has lived to this age, and he has not yet married a wife, and when he saw the Emperor and the Emperor flirting as if no one was around, his little heart was a little unbearable.

An hour later, the study in the Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit, at this moment, Liu Shaohuan was sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face, Liu Tianhan sat down and saw that his father had not spoken, so he gathered his mind, stood up, and said in a cold voice: "Father, this Zhan Hongyu is too ignorant of current affairs, it seems that he is unwilling to stand on our side." In that case, we don't have to bother to win him over, why don't we send someone to ...... him directly" He also made a neck wiping gesture as he spoke.

When Liu Shaohuan heard this, his brows tightened for a moment, and then he said: "It's not proper, Zhan Hongyu is the commander of the forbidden army, and his grade is not low. If he dies at this time, Huangfu Qitian will be furious, even if he ignores the government and politics, he still attaches great importance to his own safety, and when the time comes, he will definitely order the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly to the end. And the position of the commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army will also have a bye, no matter how much Emperor Fu Qitian believes in his father, he will not hand over this position that is directly related to his own safety to be arranged by his father, which adds another variable. Now that we have all aspects of the arrangement, and the success of the grasp has been ninety percent, at this time, it is really not appropriate to make extraneous branches. ”

"But father, what are those two men going to do?"

Liu Shaohuan thought for a moment and asked about another matter: "You also observed the twenty-three corpses that were sent back, what do you think about this?" ”

Liu Tianhan didn't know what his father was asking for, but he still replied: "There is not a fatal wound on the body, it should be that he committed suicide by taking the poison in his mouth." Liu Tianhan was so angry when he thought of this incident, not to mention that the task was not completed this time, and the body was sent back, which was a complete slap in the face. He didn't think at all that sending twenty-three dead soldiers to assassinate the two people who were guests in Zhan Hongyu's mansion were also fighting Hongyu's face.

When Liu Shaohuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "The twenty-three corpses, my father has also carefully examined them, all of them are broken, their muscles and veins are broken, and none of the bones in their bodies are intact, even if they don't take poison, they will definitely die." After a pause, he continued, "It's not as simple as you think. ”

Liu Tianhan looked at Liu Shaohuan suspiciously, and then said, "Please forgive the child for being stupid." ”

"Bang" Liu Shaohuan put the cup on the table and reprimanded: "You know killing people in your head, what else do you know besides killing people, don't always kill people directly when you encounter trouble, use your brain to think about it!" ”

Liu Tianhan listened to his father's scolding in front of him, but he didn't think so, in his opinion, killing people is the most direct and effective way, and when he feels troublesome, he directly disposes of people, and it's a hundred. At this time, Liu Tianhan already had the potential to become a qualified tyrant in the future.

Liu Shaohuan looked at his son who was still unenlightened below, and his heart was even more angry. But after thinking about it, when he succeeds in overthrowing the rule of Emperor Fu Qitian, he can sit on the throne logically. And he only has one son, Liu Tianhan, after he is about to die, it must be his only son who will inherit his throne. Don't worry, my son is not civilized, he can teach slowly, and there is plenty of time. Thinking of this, Liu Shaohuan's anger also disappeared by half, and he said seriously: "Han'er, many times, you can't always think of killing people to solve troubles. Although it is simple to kill people, it is a higher way to solve problems without blood, and it is the reckless man who solves the trouble with the knife, and the smart person who solves the trouble with the brain. ”

"Yes, the child has been taught." In the face of his father's teachings, Liu Tinghan still didn't care in his heart, but he still humbly accepted his father's earnest teachings. Maybe in Su Mingyu's opinion, Liu Tianhan is not a good person, but he is at least a filial son. And in Daya, especially attach importance to filial piety, as the saying goes, the king is the minister, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, since ancient times, the world has sung the praises of the three gangs, Liu Tianhan to the "father for the son" is still very good.

The son who was raised by himself, Liu Shaohuan didn't know what he was thinking, sighed silently, and then said: "Twenty-three people, twenty-three people, so badly injured, it seems that our commander of the forbidden army ...... It's unfathomable. ”

Liu Tianhan was shocked when he heard this, and when he heard his father say this, he immediately reacted, and said in shock: "Impossible! Zhan Hongyu can't have such profound martial arts, and the child will never believe it. ”

Liu Shaohuan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Not only do you not believe it, but you also don't believe it for your father, how many catties and taels can he have for his father." But to be able to cause such a serious injury, it must be done by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Father, are you saying that there are people living in the rivers and lakes in Zhan Hongyu's mansion?"

Liu Shaohuan nodded, and then said: "It seems that this war mansion has to be walked by my father. At this critical moment of success or failure, Zhan Hongyu, who had an unclear position from beginning to end, made friends with people in the rivers and lakes at this time, which made Liu Shaohuan not suspicious. However, the possibility that the two people who were assassinated by him failed to have peerless martial arts were selectively passed by the father and son.

Therefore, the unbelievable thing is often the truth.
