Chapter 195: The Assassin Strikes
That night, a group of people in black appeared in the courtyard where Zhong Xuanlan and they lived.
Zhong Xuanlan sat in the hall and listened to the movement on the roof, curled the corners of his lips and said, "Leave no one." β
"Yes." Wang Xiao withdrew to meet the enemy.
Wan Shaohua asked, "Sister Xuanlan, who are they?" β
Zhong Xuanlan said in a cold tone: "Liu family." β
Wan Shaohua asked suspiciously, "Imperial merchant Liu family?" β
"No, the Liu family, who is in charge of Fengzhou's soldiers and horses." Zhong Xuanlan said.
Wan Shaohua asked, "Why are they here?" β
They were hiding their whereabouts.
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Yang'er in Wang Xuannian's arms, "For the Wang family, but also for the Zhong family." β
Wang Xuannian interjected: "When will this battle for the throne end?" "Now the crown prince and the princes regard the six imperial merchants as fragrant and sweet.
Hearing this, Zhong Xuanlan shook his head slightly.
This battle is also a chance for his sons in the palace, who has already canonized the crown prince and given other princes a chance, and now the fourth prince and the fifth prince have been able to gain a foothold in the court.
According to the news from his subordinates, the second prince did not live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but did a lot of things by visiting the mountains and rivers.
Before, the second prince had been using Qiushui Villa to suppress the Zhong family, and now she should take this opportunity to repay one or two.
"Even if that one is dead, the Zhong family is still a thorn in their side."
Wang Xuannian suddenly remembered what Zhong Xuanlan had said to him, today's Dongyuan can't withstand the strong wind and waves at all, and if the wind and waves are a little stronger, it is very likely that the ship will capsize.
"We really can..." At this time, the sound of fighting outside had already sounded, and it came in, interrupting Wang Xuannian's words.
Wang Xuannian looked down at Yang'er and said, "Yang'er, are you afraid?" β
Yang'er waved her little fist and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Xiao beats the bad guys." β
Wang Xuannian nodded.
Wan Shaohua clenched the poison in her hand, looked at Yang'er and praised: "Yang'er is so brave!" β
Yang'er smiled at Wan Shaohua.
Here, Zhong Xuanlan always paid attention to the movements in the courtyard, and although he was prepared, he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart.
Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan's side face and asked, "Did Lan'er know that someone would come tonight?" β
"Hmm." Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian and said, "If I said that I deliberately let people follow me here, would you think that I am cold-blooded." β
That's right, of course she knew that someone followed Master Cheng to the Food Taste Building.
Then one person left with Master Cheng, and one person stayed.
She also knew who Master Cheng went to see later.
This place was specially chosen by her, just to deal with the assassins and not to attract officers and soldiers from patrolling.
Wang Xuannian was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses for a moment, and said with a smile: "No, Lan'er does this, naturally there is a reason for Lan'er, I believe that Lan'er will protect us." β
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Wang Xuannian deeply and smiled at him, "Thank you for your trust." β
At this time, the smell of blood in the courtyard drifted into the hall with the breeze, which made Zhong Xuanlan frown uncomfortably, and then said, "You go and stay inside." β
Wang Xuannian wanted to stay with Zhong Xuanlan, and said, "I won't go, junior sister and Yang'er will go!" β
Wan Shaohua refused: "I'm not afraid. "When there are many people, she doesn't think cranky.
Yang'er looked at this, looked at that, and said loudly: "Yang'er is not afraid." β
When Zhong Xuanlan saw this, he followed them.
After about a stick of incense, the fight outside ended, and after a while, Wang Xiao walked in and reported: "Master, the people have been resolved, a total of five people." β
Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "Send the person back, and let Qi Tongju know by the way." β
"Yes." Wang Xiao took the order and retreated.
Hearing this, Wang Xuannian thought about it and understood why Zhong Xuanlan did this.
According to the news from Tingfeng Tower, Qi Tongju is Li Shangshu's protΓ©gΓ©, that is, the fourth prince.
The four princes must like this gift very much, at the end of last year, because of the iron ore incident, the Li family showed the determination of a strong man to break his wrist and gave up a lot of forces.
Coupled with the recent events in Lin Cheng, the four princes had a difficult time in the court.
In two things, the five princes have made a lot of efforts.
Now that there is a chance, the Four Princes will definitely spare no effort to fight back.
Now, the court will be very lively.
Wang Xuannian said: "Lan'er, is this to let the fourth prince and the fifth prince bite each other?" β
Zhong Xuanlan nodded slightly, not all, only the two factions are lively enough, plus some, it will be lively.
She hooked the corners of her lips and said, "I want to make Fenghe City lively, take advantage of the excitement, so that I can fish." β
On the other side, Wang Xiao led people to carry the assassin's corpse to Liu Anchen's place, and ordered people to attack the people in the courtyard on the one hand, and the secret guards and guards on the other.
It didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao pursed his lips, this ** of Wan Sanqi really works, if it is more reliable, it would be good to let people sleep for three or five days!
After this, Wang Xiao ordered the assassins to be placed in the courtyard and arranged as a picture of the guards fighting with the assassins and dying together.
Wang Xiao thought that Qi Tong's sentence should be about to arrive, and then ordered someone to attract the patrol officers and soldiers.
So, Wang Xiao brought a fire to the courtyard.
"It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire......" Wang Xiao shouted a few times before leaving with someone.
It didn't take long for the patrol officers and soldiers to come, and Qi Tongju came.
Liu Anchen in the house was woken up by the heat, ran out in a hurry, and was hit by Qi Tong.
Qi Tong asked cracklingly, "Isn't this Young Master Liu!" Young Master Liu, what are you doing in Fenghe City? β
Hehe, now that he has made a great contribution, the Li family should give him a chance to be promoted.
Thanks to the note that brought him here tonight.
No, he caught a big fish that was enough to be promoted and rich.
Liu Anchen said unhappily: "I have a secret business trip. β
Qi Tongju smiled and said, "Really?
No wonder Young Master Liu was assassinated, it seems that Young Master Liu must have mastered the secret.
For the sake of Young Master Liu's safety, Young Master Liu is still the safest to live in the yamen.
Tomorrow, the official discussed with the prefect and sent troops to send Young Master Liu back to Kyoto safe and sound.
Young Master Liu, please! β
Liu Anchen wanted to refuse, thinking that none of his subordinates had come out so far, thinking that he was already more than lucky, and he was isolated.
So, Liu Anchen compromised: "There is Master Lao." β
Fortunately, he had already arranged the food today, and he would not have to worry about his plans being disrupted by these people tomorrow.
But who did it tonight?
Liu Anchen looked into the courtyard, which was filled with fire at this time, illuminating the courtyard, and he was shocked to see that all his men were lying there.
The Zhong family?
Could this have been done by the Zhong family steward?
What kind of power did Zhong Xuanlan give to this steward?
Qi Tongju urged again: "Young Master Liu, please." β
Liu Anchen came back to his senses and left with Qi Tongju.
