Chapter 405: Death of the King of Chu! (Ten thousand rewards and more, thanks to "Xuanyuan of Flowers")
For the sake of safety, the patrol battalion cooperated with the northwest battalion to strictly control the situation outside the hunting ground, so as to prevent anyone from breaking into the holy car and even assassinating people with ill intentions.
Correspondingly, the guards in Kyoto Castle have been relaxed.
As the winter hunt progressed, a caravan of fifty or sixty men escorted the carriage into the southern area of the city and drove through the street behind the Xianwang Mansion. If it had been him, this caravan would probably have attracted the attention of the patrol battalion, but today no one cared about it.
When the caravan stopped at the Xianwang Mansion, the leader raised his hand, everyone stopped, and then drew their swords from the cloth bags that the carriage was full of!
Immediately afterwards, this group of people didn't talk nonsense, and directly climbed over the wall and entered the Xianwang Mansion!
The forbidden guards in the Xianwang Mansion discovered the enemy and immediately began to counterattack, and in an instant, there was chaos in the Xianwang Mansion!
Jia Xu and Guo Jia were playing against each other, when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting, and a moment later, Li Yuanfang and Li Kui rushed into the hall.
"Two gentlemen, there are assassins rushing into the palace! The forbidden army is resisting, but the people who come are all elite warriors, and the forbidden army may not be able to parry, so please ask the two gentlemen to hide in the secret room quickly! Li Yuanfang said.
Jia Xu stroked his beard for a moment, and after glancing at Guo Jia, he was quite surprised: "King Duan actually sent someone to attack the Xianwang Mansion, could it be that he planned to attack the east and the west, deliberately attracting the attention of Dong Hunting?" ”
When the Xianwangfu was assassinated and the patrol battalion came to suppress it, the news was bound to go to the hunting grounds. But this process takes time, and Duanwang is not clever to use this trick to attack the west!
Guo Jia thought of another possibility, and said in surprise: "Perhaps, the person who King Duan wants to kill is us!" ”
Jia Xu also realized this possibility!
"His Royal Highness participated in the winter hunt and took away Dian Wei and Yang Youji, Li Xiu'er was suddenly imprisoned and sent away Wu Zhanfa, Lu Xian, and Wei Guang, and now there are fewer masters in the house, it seems that King Duan really wants to kill us!" Jia Xu couldn't help but praise: "King Duan's deep plan, we have all been deceived!" ”
Guo Jia nodded, they only considered Xiao Rui's safety, but they didn't expect that they would become the target of the attack.
In fact, this is very easy to understand, capture the thief first and capture the king first, and poke the eye first in a fight, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are Xiao Rui's think tank, the two of them give advice to Xiao Rui, which is better than thousands of troops, Xiao Feng naturally understands this truth! So I wanted to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia for a long time.
Li Yuanfang saw that the two gentlemen were still going to talk, and hurriedly said: "Two gentlemen, hurry up and enter the secret room, if something happens to the two of you, Your Highness will be very anxious!" ”
Guo Jia was not worried, and said with a smile: "I guess King Duan must have bribed the people of the patrol battalion and will spread false news to the hunting grounds." Once the news of our assassination reaches back to the hunting grounds, even if Your Highness detects that there is fraud, for the sake of our safety, he will definitely bring people back to the city himself! This is King Duan taking advantage of His Highness's benevolence! Yuan Fang, you go to the North City Gate quickly, you can't let His Highness return to the city! ”
Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "I can't go!" Although there are a large number of forbidden troops in the palace, this group of assassins is highly skilled in martial arts, and I must ensure the safety of the two gentlemen first! Otherwise, Your Highness will chop me up! ”
"Yuan Fang, is the Xianwang Mansion an assassin who can come when he wants to, and can leave if he wants? Don't worry about the safety of me and Bonghyo, have you forgotten that there is still the Yang organization? Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled.
Only then did Li Yuanfang react, yes, His Royal Highness asked Zhong Ling and Wu Yazi to prepare their manpower and have been hiding in the dark.
"I see!" Li Yuanfang nodded, and then warned Li Kui to protect Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and he immediately left the Xianwang Mansion.
It's just that what Li Yuanfang didn't expect was that he had just left the palace and rode to the north city gate, but he was suddenly attacked by an ambush assassin!
After Li Yuanfang left, Jia Xu suddenly reacted and said: "It's bad, King Duan will inevitably set up an ambush halfway to ambush Li Yuanfang to prevent us from ventilating and reporting the news!" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "It seems that King Duan's schemes are interlocking, and he has thought of all the things that may be thought of, and King Duan is really more cunning than we imagined!" ”
……
At the same time, in the hunting grounds.
Xiao Rui and Xiao Yiheng searched for clues, and soon found the traces left by the guards around Xiao Jing, and then the two followed the traces, and it didn't take long for Xiao Jing to be found in a forest, and he was hunting with four guards.
Xiao Yiheng gave a look to the guard who was proficient in archery behind him, and after this person dismounted, he quietly approached the woods with a bow and arrow, while Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Rui retreated farther away to avoid being discovered by Xiao Jing's guards after succeeding.
The two didn't wait long, and Xiao Jing's wail came from the woods, and they could hear it clearly from a distance.
The guard returned, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, you have succeeded, and you have shot His Royal Highness King Jing in the left leg!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Yiheng showed a hideous smile, although Xiao Jing was used, he still hated Xiao Jing, if he didn't care about his father, he would have wanted someone to shoot Xiao Jing with one arrow!
Xiao Rui stopped aside, and still didn't know what tricks Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Feng were playing.
"Second brother, since you have taught the eighth brother a lesson, now you can tell me what you promised me!" Xiao Rui asked.
Xiao Yiheng smiled happily and said, "Of course, since I promised you, I will naturally do it." The death of your mother Concubine Rong is likely to be related to the imperial concubine Lin Yu'er, and the seventh brother can check Lin Yu'er well! If I lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky, so the seventh brother should believe my promise. ”
"Imperial concubine? Where did you hear about this? Xiao Rui asked.
Xiao Yiheng pulled the reins, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Seventh brother, this problem is not in our transaction!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Rui nodded.
……
Because Xiao Jing was secretly shot by a cold arrow, his guards immediately escorted him back to Dianjiangtai. When Emperor Xia heard the news, he rushed over and saw the arrow feather shot in Xiao Jing's leg, and immediately asked, "Who put the arrow?" ”
The four guards knelt on the ground and shook their heads, and one of them said: "The villain didn't see clearly, and by the time we noticed it, the other party had already fled!" ”
But the other hesitated, moved his mouth, and then shut up again.
Emperor Xia immediately noticed his abnormality and asked, "If you don't report it, I will never spare it!" ”
The guard was frightened, and immediately said: "The villain is at the back, looking at the person's appearance, it looks like the guard next to His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”
"What?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Xian?"
"Impossible!"
……
The people around were in an uproar and looked at each other.
Emperor Xia was immediately furious and shouted: "Presumptuous! Are you identifying King Xian? ”
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare! But what the villain said is true! The guard slammed his head on the ground, trembling with fear.
The Marquis of Zhongyong on the side checked the arrow feather and said, "Your Majesty, there is no inscription on the arrow feather, it should be an assassin who sneaked into the hunting ground." ”
Emperor Xia's face was cold, how could he not be angry when he encountered an assassin during the winter hunt?
At this moment, the soldiers of the patrol battalion in the city suddenly arrived, and they had something important to ask to see the loyal and brave marquis.
Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, immediately met with the person who came and learned that the Xianwang Mansion was attacked by a killer, and he immediately informed Emperor Xia of the situation.
When Emperor Xia heard this, he was furious: "How can this be true! How unreasonable is that the killer is so arrogant! Beat the drum to recall all hunters and prevent them from being attacked by killers. Marquis Zhongyong, you immediately bring people back to the city, be sure to arrest all the killers, and I want to know whose plot it is! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jinfu immediately led his troops back to the city, and at the same time, the drums sounded rapidly, and after the members of the hunting ground heard the drums, they didn't know what was going on, and they returned to the point of the general platform.
Xiao Rui also heard the sound of the drums, just now he had separated from Xiao Yiheng, and now Xiao Rui doesn't know what conspiracy Xiao Feng is playing, so he has to shoot himself? Yang Yuji is on guard not far away, once an enemy approaches, let alone shoot Xiao Rui, he was killed by Yang Yuji before he could take an arrow.
Xiao Rui immediately turned back, and when he arrived at the point, he found that there was something wrong with everyone's eyes, Xiao Rui didn't think much about it, and immediately walked into the military tent that had been set up.
Xiao Rui bowed his hand and said, "My son visits my father!" ”
At this time, in the military tent, except for Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Jing, several other princes came back.
Emperor Xia waved his hand to calm him down, and said, "The Xianwang Mansion was attacked by killers, and I was afraid that there would be changes in the hunting ground, so I stopped the winter hunting. In addition, King Jing was assassinated and wounded. ”
When Xiao Rui heard this, his expression changed drastically, his Xianwang Mansion was attacked by a killer? It's bad, this is Xiao Feng's conspiracy, he wants to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia!
So he asked anxiously, "I don't know how King Jing's injuries are?" Have you ever caught the murderer? What is the situation in the house of the son? ”
Emperor Xia said: "King Jing was hit by an arrow in the leg, and the injury is not serious, and I have already sent the Marquis of Zhongyong to lead the troops back to the city, and I will soon be able to control the situation." ”
As he spoke, Huo Xingye, the secretary of the military department, happened to walk into the camp tent.
Emperor Xia asked Huo Xingye, "Is there anyone else who hasn't come back?" ”
Huo Xingye said: "Everyone else has returned safely, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu has not returned for a long time!" Wechen has already sent someone to search! By the way, someone just saw His Royal Highness King Xian staying with King Chu outside His Hall in the hunting ground, His Royal Highness King Xian came back first, did you know where King Chu went? ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of His Majesty and everyone moved to Xiao Rui.
When Xiao Rui heard this, he sighed in his heart, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Father, the son is also separated from the King of Chu, and I don't know where he went!" Xiao Rui said.
And as soon as he finished speaking, the forbidden army was in a hurry to enter the account.
I saw that his face was condensed, and it seemed that something bad had happened.
"Your Majesty... His Royal Highness the King of Chu... He's been killed! Zhuge Yuanba half-knelt on the ground and said suddenly.
"What?" Emperor Xia suddenly stood up, his face shocked.
Xiao Rui immediately clenched his fists, my fear just now came true!
Xiao Feng, you are so ruthless!
I only heard Zhuge Yuanba continue: "Your Majesty, the searching soldiers found the body of His Royal Highness the King of Chu in a dry ravine, with an arrow in the chest, and the arrow feather used was exactly the same as the one used to assassinate His Royal Highness King Jing, it should have been done by the same person!" And three guards around him were also killed, and the whereabouts of another are unknown! ”
As he finished speaking, several people in the military tent held their breath and did not dare to speak.
"Immediately dispatch the Northwest Battalion to block the hunting grounds and give me a thorough investigation! Be sure to find the killer! ”
Emperor Xia gritted his teeth and said, the king of Chu is his son, and his son was killed, how can he not feel distressed as a father?
At this time, Xiao Rui felt the viciousness of Xiao Feng's scheme, and actually killed the King of Chu directly, and it seemed that he wanted to blame himself, so what would he do next?
It didn't take long for what Xiao Rui was worried about to happen.
Huo Xingye entered the account and said: "Your Majesty, among the people who participated in the hunt, Weichen found a suspect, this person is not the son of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, nor the son of the Lord, Weichen has already controlled it!" This person is very tight-mouthed and refuses to reveal any information! ”
"Bring it in!" Emperor Xia said angrily.
Huo Xingye shouted to the outside world, and sure enough, Yang Yuji was kidnapped and brought in by Wuhuada.
