Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Assassins

Because of her anxiety, Su Wanqing's steps were very fast.

However, the courtyard where it was located was a little far away from the main hall, and Su Wanqing walked for a while before finally seeing the light emanating from the brightly lit place.

Far away, before she could get closer, she heard a loud shout from the darkness hidden by the trees outside the temple: "Who?!" ”

A moment later, the voice sounded again, shouting:

"Someone! Quick, catch him! ”

Hearing the movement, the guards around them drew their swords and hurried towards the bushes.

Su Wanqing's steps were first paused, and then she followed and ran two steps faster, it was very dark in the bushes, she couldn't see what was going on inside, she could only hear the sound of fighting with swords coming from inside, and a man panting in the fight, and explained intermittently: "Brothers, there is no evil intention in the ...... I have come to see you below...... His Royal Highness King An! ”

No one answered until the man repeated it several times, and a voice reprimanded: "Joke, the prince is also what you say you will see?" Don't hurry up and catch it! ”

For a moment, the fighting in the bushes became more intense.

At this time, a guard noticed Su Wanqing's figure, immediately flashed out of the darkness, lowered his head in front of her, and said sonorously: "It's dangerous here, please return to the hall quickly!" ”

Su Wanqing raised her eyes to look at him, "What's going on here?" ”

The guard didn't know whether to say it or not, and said with some hesitation: "Back to the nobles, it's just a small situation, don't worry, our people are circling in the forest." ”

Su Wanqing didn't mean to be dealt with in the past, and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Didn't an assassin sneak in at the feast?"

The guard was hesitant to answer, when he heard Su Wanqing ask again, "How many people did you send?" ”

She asked directly. The guard couldn't dodge a little, so he had to say honestly: "More than ten people." ”

Su Wanqing nodded thoughtfully, and saw some guards with torches coming quickly in the distance, and hurriedly lifted the corners of their skirts and ran towards the hall.

In the middle of the main hall, several dancing girls were dancing, and everyone in the hall was fascinated by it, and they didn't notice the abnormality outside the hall at all.

Su Wanqing has been out for a long time. As soon as she approached, she met Su Yuanyi's cold gaze and thought of what had just happened. She was a little weak-hearted, slowed down and stepped forward, and blessed her body: "Lord Wang." ”

"Sit down." Because it was on such an occasion, Su Yuanyi's expression was faint. The voice was cold. "Why has it been so long?"

Su Wanqing sat down on the couch, and in the afterglow, she saw that the moon-white figure was chatting and laughing with the Eighth Prince, and she didn't pay attention to it, and her tense heartstrings couldn't help but relax a little, "The concubine accidentally walked away." ”

After a slight pause, she glanced out of the hall and said softly, "Lord Wang." An appears to have broken into an assassin in the palace. ”

"Oh?" Su Yuanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze fell on the case indifferently at all. After drinking all the wine in the cup, he asked coldly, "You met?" ”

Su Wanqing nodded, reached out and took the wine jug to fill it for him, "They are fighting in the forest right now." ”

Her time was just right, and as soon as she said this, a fire lit up in the darkness outside the main hall, the light emitted by the torches, such a change was too conspicuous, and soon, the guests near the door of the main hall began to stir.

Then, all the guests turned their heads to look out.

King An didn't know what the situation was, put down his wine glass, waved his hand and beckoned a guard to step forward, and ordered gently: "Go and see, what's going on outside?" ”

"Yes." The guard departed.

After a while, the guard hurried back, wanting to reply in King An's ear, but was stopped by a look from him, so he had to take two steps back and say stubbornly: "Lord Wang, an assassin broke into the palace at the banquet. ”

The guard's voice was deliberately low, but it was also heard by many guests, and it was not a glorious thing for the mansion of the dignified prince to be easily broken into by the assassins, not to mention that it was on such an occasion, the clear smile on King An's face faded a little.

However, his cultivation was excellent, and he did not show the slightest anger, but he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Can you take it?" ”

"Take it."

Hearing the guards say this, King An nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to step aside.

The guard remained motionless, and then said, "Also, the assassin kept saying...... He came to see the prince and to offer a treasure. ”

"Treasures?" Su Yuansui on the side was interested when he heard this, and he didn't care that the master hadn't spoken yet, so he interjected: "There are still assassins with treasures?" Tell me what a baby. ”

"My subordinates don't know."

"Tsk!" Su Yuansui threw down his sleeves in disappointment, turned his head to look at King An, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, this person is a bit interesting, it is better to let him in and offer treasures." ”

The Eighth Prince has always spoken without boundaries, and An Wangquan didn't care when he was joking, and shook his head with a smile.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the hall: "His Royal Highness King An!" He is not an assassin in the next place, but he is here to take refuge in the next place...... Hmm...... "The words that followed were silent, and it was obvious that the man's mouth was sealed.

Perhaps it was a last resort in a hurry, and the hoarse shout was extremely harsh, and it was precisely because of its harshness that every guest could not ignore it.

When things got to such a point, if King An still turned a blind eye, he would lose his grace in front of everyone, he thought about it, and ordered the guards: "Bring him forward." ”

"Yes."

The guards outside received the order and quickly brought the person in through the side door.

The man who was escorted into the main hall looked like he was in his twenties, thin and thin, with a slight vegetable-colored face, as if he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, but his back was straight, revealing a kind of arrogance and righteousness.

King An looked at the man kneeling on the ground, a smile on his lips, and asked softly, "Who is kneeling, I don't know why he broke into this king's mansion?" ”

The man bowed respectfully, straightened his back, and replied in his faintly weak voice: "Under the surname Song Mingmin, a person from Donghui, due to the changes in his family, unfortunately he was left behind, and I heard that His Royal Highness King An is kind and likes to recruit talents, so he went thousands of miles to take refuge. ”

"I see." King An smiled and said with some puzzlement: "It's just that if you really have the intention to devote yourself to this king's door, then why don't you hand over the post openly and honestly." ”

"Returning to the prince, I have arrived in the capital for more than half a month, and I have been to the Anwang Mansion several times, and I don't know how many times I have handed over the post, but there is no news of the stone sinking into the sea, so I have to take advantage of the banquet to mix." Song Min didn't know what he remembered, his thin lips pursed, he raised his eyes and said: "There are some words, I don't know whether to say them or not, I think that there are many people in King An's Mansion who treat people with their appearance, and if it goes on like this, I don't know how many wise men will be turned away."
