Chapter 70: The First Attack

At night, the silver astrolabe hid in the thick clouds for half an hour, and the stars in the summer followed the silver moon.

The clouds gradually depressed, as if there was a deep and suffocating murderous aura, in the middle of the night, silently shrouded in the sky over the Great Qianhuang City, at this time the streets of the Imperial City were few people, peaceful and silent, and sometimes ordinary people would hear a few restless dog barks, after breaking the silence of the night, it was soon calm again.

Emperor Zeng Xianzi, the emperor of the imperial study of the imperial palace, was dressed in a crown and purple robe, but he didn't mean to rest at all, and looked at the gloomy sky under the lightless stars and moon with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and a robe was gently draped over the emperor's shoulders, although it was light, but it still woke the emperor awake.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body!" An Fu's figure appeared behind the emperor.

"Don't worry, I'm just thinking that the prince has been gone for a long time, and I'm a little worried! These days, for that matter, you have been running around, but it has hurt you. Zeng Xianzi and Yan Yuese seemed to be speaking like a close friend, showing the intimate harmony between the monarch and the minister.

"It is the duty of the old slave to reduce labor for the king. According to the spy report, the prince returned from Suyu City early this morning. I think it won't be long before Your Majesty will see the crown prince. The crown prince has greatly exalted my great power in Suyu City, and he has the demeanor of His Majesty when he was young!" An Fu replied respectfully.

"In the blink of an eye, has he reached this age?"

Zeng Xianzi shook his head, muttered to himself, and then raised his head to look at the clouds in the sky, as if he was a little distracted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty....."

"Huh?!"

An Fu cautiously looked at Zeng Xianzi's face, and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest!

"Hmm. Zeng Xianzi nodded.

......

The low moonlight under the morning breeze was cold and dull, and standing on the shore of the camping, looking at the turbulent river, there was not a single bit of light.

Zeng Zichen was standing on the shore half an hour ago, and he looked unusually calm under the shade of the trees. This is Zeng Zichen's unique personality, the more tense the moment, the more he will maintain a calm mind, in order to use the analysis of changes in the current situation and possible variables.

For half an hour, he stood motionless like a piece of wood, recalling all the gains and losses of his actions after a month of travel, and finally fixed on the letter he had seen last night.

In that letter, Zeng Zichen seemed to feel a different kind of sadness and remembrance!

Zeng Zichen's frowning brows raised, and he subconsciously felt creepy!

Suddenly......

The wind rose, and two sky-blue rays of light burst out at the same time. From two directions, they shot like lightning towards the two Praetorian Guards who were guarding Zeng Zichen's side for a few feet!

Li Youran let out a long roar of anger. Dressed in black armor, his body glowed with a charming red brilliance, and the long sword in his hand condensed into a flame-like circle of light, but it could not block the two rays of azure brilliance.

With two muffled grunts, the two Praetorian guards fell to the ground in unison.

Li Youran's heart tightened, but his movements were as fast as lightning, standing in front of Zeng Zichen, "Protect the prince!"

The Praetorian Guards are all experienced in a hundred battles, the elite of the elite selected by the Praetorian Guards from the army, for the enemy's sneak attack, the Praetorian Guards reacted quickly, hundreds of people surrounded Zeng Zichen, and hundreds of people rushed towards the arrows.

Zeng Zichen took a few steps in front of the attacker, checked the injury, and couldn't help but shake his head gloomily. A large blood hole appeared in the chest of the attacker, and one of them swallowed on the spot, and one of them obviously had no way to recover!

Zeng Zichen felt guilty for a while, squatted in front of his face, and said softly, "Do you have any wishes?"

There was a "whine" sound in the man's mouth, and the red blood foam kept gushing out, blocking his throat, and he couldn't speak. His pupils were already dilated, but in his eyes, Zeng Zichen saw a thick concern and eager pleading.

Zeng Zichen said softly: "Don't worry, your family is small, I will take good care of it!"

There was a glint in the man's eyes, and his lips squirmed slightly. It seems to say thank you, but it is vague and inaudible. After a few breaths, I swallowed my breath!

"Collect the bodies of the two brothers and bury them after returning to the imperial city!"

Zeng Zichen covered those dead eyes. Two abnormal rays of light burst out of his eyes, and the murderous aura in the essence light was overwhelming!

A purple and gold robe, like clouds on the edge of the day, the style is outstanding. Even at night, the light of the torches is particularly intimidating.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was cold. "Have you found the murderer!?"

Li Youran shook his head, "I haven't found it yet, but it's already searching!"

In a few moments, someone came back to report that no trace had been found.

When Zeng Zichen heard this, his eyes changed slightly, "Harassment, or temptation?" looked at the small hill a few miles away, where the fire was bright, like daylight, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Order, go down tonight, take shifts tonight, be careful and vigilant!"
