Chapter 200: Assassination
"It's hard to say, but you have to be on guard at all times, but with his cleverness, he should be able to handle it." Su Zizhao said.
"Actually, from another point of view, the second master is actually protecting the vassal kings by doing this." Su Shanyun said.
The vassal kings should not think about the throne in the first place, and if they can manage the people of their fiefdoms in peace, it will be the best explanation to the royal family. And only by handing over the military power can they completely dispel the emperor's suspicions.
"Yes, but for those ambitious vassal kings, this is undoubtedly the removal of wings, so some vassal kings must hate the second child of the Yan family. However, I heard that the second child of the Yan family has recently added a lot of retinues with strong martial arts, which shows that he has taken precautions. ”
Hearing Su Zizhao say this, Su Shanyun's heart was slightly settled.
However, she also knew that the second master's current situation was not without danger, but no matter what, a person like him who did great things would never stop because of this.
There is such a person in this world, you can doubt him, distort him, or even oppose him, but he will not change his principles and original intentions because of your views, he only acts according to his own moral standards, but what he does often always benefits more people.
He wasn't just for himself, although at first glance some things seemed to be for his own selfishness. But with time and careful consideration, it becomes clear that this is not the case.
Su Shanyun felt that the second master was such a person.
"The emperor must like a courtier like him." Feng said.
"Well, of course, the emperor attaches great importance to him. Now that he has lifted that family business, I am afraid that he will focus on court affairs in the short term. Su Zizhao said again.
But doesn't he care about his life's work? He was twenty-seven years old. Feng was puzzled.
Su Shanyun's cheeks suddenly turned red.
"It's a little strange to say this, I heard that he rejected many people's proposals." Su Zizhao also had a puzzled expression.
"Maybe I haven't found one I like yet." Su Shanyun replied in a low voice. She did not dare to say that he already had someone in his heart, lest they should be suspicious.
After all, in such a limelight, her keeping a secret is the greatest help to the second master.
"Maybe." Su Zizhao glanced at her.
………………
After designing an arched dam for Mahu Lake, Yan Jinxuan and Long Qingyun and their entourage headed in the direction of Yunnan, preparing to go to the Jinsha River and the Lancang River to investigate the water potential.
It was a very difficult road, so they spent quite a bit of time on it.
On this day, when they arrived in Zhenxiong, it was already dark, so they had to stay at a hotel on the side of the road.
Long Qingyun brought eight followers. Yan Jinxuan also brought eight people, because they and their entourage were all strong martial arts people, so although they encountered several roadblocks and robberies along the way, they were quickly resolved.
That night. Due to the fatigue of the journey, they rested early.
However, just in case, they have arranged for people to take turns to be on duty at night.
However, the night watchers were also a little sleepy in the second half of the night, so they all closed their eyes and took a nap.
Yan Jinxuan used to sleep very deeply, but then suddenly woke up by the sound outside the window. It was the sound of a person who knew martial arts passing by the window, maybe others couldn't hear it, but for him, who was used to the rivers and lakes and knew martial arts, he heard it very clearly, he hurriedly jumped up, picked up his sword and looked out the window.
However, it was still a little late, and there was nothing outside the window.
There are often big thieves in this kind of border area, so it is not surprising that some people move at night, but he still pays attention, so he does not dare to sleep soundly in the second half of the night, but sits upright and closes his eyes and rests.
In a few moments it was dawning. The group continued their march after having an early meal in the restaurant downstairs.
"Lord Yan, did you go from south to north like this before?" Long Qingyun asked.
After last night's rest, Long Qingyun seemed to be in excellent spirits.
"Yes, sometimes you have to travel overnight if there is a flood in a certain place." Yan Jinxuan replied calmly.
"Admire and admire, ordinary people can't endure this kind of suffering." Long Qingyun said sincerely.
"As a person who controls the water, you have to practice such skills, not thinking about it, but the safety of tens of thousands of people is waiting for you to save you, so you can only rush forward desperately." Yan Jinxuan said with a faint smile.
"There are too few people with such feelings as you now."
"You've only seen one side, but I'm actually very selfish sometimes." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile, looking up and patting the horse. Hurried away.
The others immediately followed closely.
For those who have a task in their possession, there is no way to walk in a comfortable way, so they have a tight schedule along the way.
In the more than a month of dealing with Yan Jinxuan, Long Qingyun really understood the hard work of water control and its significance.
But of course. He knew that even if he practiced in this position for another five years, he might not have the ability and state of mind of Yan Jinxuan, so he was grateful to be able to follow him on a trip all over the world this year and see first-hand how he coped with the floods. It's an experience that money can't buy.
In the morning, the scenery changes to a cliff and clouds can be seen even in broad daylight.
The wind was blowing on the cliffs, and sometimes the shrill and loud cries of goshawks could be heard. Looking around, there are cliffs and pine forests on all sides, and there are no people, let alone people.
This kind of place is faintly dangerous, and Yan Jinxuan can't help but strengthen his vigilance.
"Ride your horses carefully and hold your sword in your hand." Yan Jinxuan said.
The crowd immediately complied.
The group rode slowly down the winding path that made the hair stand on end.
Suddenly, dozens of black shadows flew down from the cliff.
Yan Jinxuan took a look, but saw that they were dressed in black, and even their faces were covered with black cloth, only their eyes were exposed.
There is no doubt that they can't go without fighting them, so Yan Jinxuan and his party immediately raised their swords to fight.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, ten people rushed down from the cliff, but these ten people directly surrounded Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan frowned, and then understood the whole story, and he asked in a deep voice, "Which king sent you?" ”
No one responded.
Yan Jinxuan squinted at the other companions and found that they were all fighting one-on-one, so they couldn't call for support at all. So he sneered, and he raised his sword and killed the people around him, and they immediately raised their swords to fight.
Yan Jinxuan was proficient in swordsmanship, and his sword speed was extremely fast, so three people were stabbed down after hearing only a few brushes. Immediately, he struck his sword again on one side, and two more fell to the ground.
There are only five left.
Yan Jinxuan stretched out his hand and wiped the blood that had splashed on his eyelashes, and suddenly took out his sword.
With a few screams, three more people immediately fell to the ground, but when he was about to take advantage of the victory again, he felt a sharp pain in the arm holding the sword, and when he looked down, he found that the sleeve of his right hand had been split by the enemy's sword, and a deep and long knife mark was left on the arm, and blood gushed out like a spring.
Yan Jinxuan immediately changed his left hand to hold the sword, and the dark luck flew towards them. Soon, the remaining two were struck by his sword and fell to the ground.
And he himself suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he hurriedly reached out to cover the wound on his right hand to prevent the blood from continuing to flow.
However, the wound was too deep and long, and I was afraid that it had already hurt the tendons, so not only could he not stop the bleeding but also felt that the hand was gradually numb, and he realized that he had to stop the bleeding immediately, so he struggled to get closer to the horse, because the bag contained hemostatic medicine. However, he had only taken a few steps before he fainted on the ground.
"Your Excellency!" Long Qingyun saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rode his horse towards Yan Jinxuan's side. (To be continued.) )
PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming, and the third shift is about 11:30-12:00. The second master was injured, and it was seriously injured, and he was distressed, but the plot needed it, and the author had to endure the distress and write. Xiao Yun would be so sad if she knew.
