Chapter 420: King Chen's Assassination (I)
At night, there was silence in King Jing's mansion.
King Xiao and King Wen secretly smuggled the matter has been completed, Mu Qingfeng presented the ins and outs of the whole matter to the emperor, and then according to the emperor's order, King Xiao and King Wen were imprisoned, together with the smugglers caught together, the matter is over.
failed to give Mu Qingfeng a moment to breathe. It didn't take long for Mu Qingfeng's door to be knocked on again.
The person who came in was Mu Qing, and Mu Qing's face was nervous. hurriedly reported, "Third Master, something happened in the hunting ground." ”
Mu Qingfeng frowned and asked, "How is the emperor?" ”
"The emperor is fine, it's just that King Chen was assassinated at night and was injured. The emperor had secretly sent people to cordon off the area near the hunting garden and ordered the assassins to be captured. After Mu Qing learned the news, he rushed back overnight to spread the news.
"Prepare the horses." With that, he grabbed the black cloak from the shelf.
Mu Qingfeng jumped up, landed steadily on horseback, and motioned to Mu Qing to release a signal flare for Qisha.
Then a bright red light streaked across the night.
The two of them worked hard all the way, and Mu Qingfeng already knew that this time the enemy had already planned it, and things came one after another, didn't they just want to kill them by surprise.
Heavy troops were sent to guard the hunting garden, because of the assassination of King Chen, it happened suddenly, and everyone did not expect it.
Because of this incident, the emperor sent soldiers to search the hunting garden, but to no avail. At night, the emperor summoned Luo Jiuge, the crown prince and several important ministers of the court to discuss how to solve the matter.
Mu Lingxuan's face was complicated, thinking about the sudden incident in the capital a few days ago, Mu Qingfeng was sent back by the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly, obviously he was the prince of Wuguo, and he was the best candidate for the crown prince in the future. However, this time, the emperor handed over such a major matter to Mu Qingfeng in front of King Chen, and I don't know if the emperor was tempted or wanted to embarrass him in public.
Thinking in his heart, now that Hunting Garden has encountered such a thing again, he can only say that fortunately, God has eyes, as long as he finds out the assassin who assassinated King Chen, then he can win back a game in front of everyone.
The emperor showed his might, there was someone so bold, and he also seriously injured the guests of Wuguo, if he couldn't give King Chen an explanation, he would not have face.
"In three days, I'm going to capture that assassin." The emperor swept aside everyone present with a serious expression.
"Yes, the ministers are trying their best to find out." The crowd bowed down to receive the command.
Mu Qingfeng rushed back in the middle of the night, saw the heavy guards outside the hunting garden, dismounted, and the soldiers all saluted respectfully after seeing Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Qingfeng immediately rushed to the emperor's tent. The soldiers on duty saw Mu Qingfeng and hurriedly went to spread the word.
Because of the assassination of King Chen, the emperor could not sleep well, and he had been looking forward to Mu Qingfeng coming back soon, and as soon as he heard the news of Mu Qingfeng's return, he immediately let people in.
After seeing Mu Qingfeng, the emperor had a bottom in his heart.
"Son-in-law, see father." Mu Qingfeng knelt down and saluted.
"Excuse me. Exempt. ”
"King Chen's assassination, Feng'er should already know." The emperor asked.
"Erchen already knew about it, so he rushed back immediately."
"Over there in the capital?" He had already sent Mu Qingfeng back to investigate the matter, thinking that since he could get out, he would definitely solve it.
"Back to my father, the affairs in the capital have been ascertained, and the two people involved are King Xiao and King Wen, and all the foreigners involved in the two of them will be imprisoned, and after returning to Beijing, they will be sent by the father." The last thing Mu Qingfeng asked from King Xiao was that the two of them wanted to use these foreigners to smuggle Wuguo's precious calligraphy and paintings, as well as official kilns.
After Mu Qingfeng implemented it, he found that this was indeed the case, if it was said that these two princes wanted to rebel, with the power in their hands, they were afraid that they would not be able to touch it at all. This sudden riot in the capital is just to disturb people's hearts, but what is the real intention of this person in the secret, Mu Qingfeng has not yet found out.
"King Xiao, King Wen, heh, I'll dispose of everything for you when I go back. My patience with them has run out. "The reason why the emperor kept King Wen of Xiao was just out of brotherhood, since they have been unwilling to settle down all these years, then don't blame him for being polite.
"Right now, King Chen's matter is the most important, what do you think of Feng'er." The emperor is most concerned about this at this time.
Mu Qingfeng could naturally see that the emperor was very concerned about this matter, and he also understood that this matter was very important, and then the emperor talked about it with him. In the end, he didn't expect that the emperor was thinking more far-reaching.
In Mu Lingxuan's tent, someone told him about Mu Qingfeng's return, and Mu Qingfeng went directly to the emperor, but what made him more and more angry was that Mu Qingfeng didn't come out until it was getting dark. Could it be that the emperor wanted to secretly explain Mu Qingfeng again. Mu Lingxuan couldn't swallow this breath, the dignified prince of Wuguo was like a fictitious person, and he was not half valued by the emperor.
King Chen's assassination made people panic in the hunting garden, Mu Lingxuanjia sent people to investigate the matter, and did not forget to bring the eighth prince to visit King Chen.
Since the assassination, King Chen's camp has been guarded by soldiers like the emperor's tent.
Fortunately, King Chen was only slightly injured and did not stab the vital point.
Seeing Mu Lingxuan and the Eighth Prince coming in, a pair of slightly tired eyes were dyed with a smile of unknown meaning. "The crown prince and the eighth prince, I don't know why you came here this time?"
When Mu Lingxuan heard this, his face was a little unpleasant. Thinking that Yulin Country was just a small country, he dared to underestimate him Mu Lingxuan, and he was the prince of Wuguo who was going to be humiliated like this. couldn't help but feel resentful, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes, but after a while, he returned to his usual coldness, and said to King Chen with a light smile. "Ling Xuan came to visit King Chen's injury, and also brought one of the top imperial doctors in Wu Kingdom to treat King Chen."
Mu Lingxuan had insight into everything, and the expression in his eyes changed in an instant, King Chen was testing him just now.
A hint of surprise flashed in King Chen's eyes, and then he regained his composure. "It's really gratifying that the crown prince can care about this king like this, but this king is only a minor injury, and there is no major problem." After that, he subconsciously glanced at the bandage on his arm, and just after he asked someone to change the medicine for him, Mu Lingxuan brought someone over.
Mu Lingxuan just thought that King Chen had gone through this toss, and now he didn't dare to trust others easily, he could understand, so he didn't ask anymore.
"Last night, the emperor has issued an order to find out the murderer who stabbed King Chen." After observing the words and expressions, the eighth prince on the side wanted to take this opportunity to tell King Chen about this, and even more wanted to see if this King Chen could become someone they could use.
"Please rest assured that King Chen, such a thing will never happen again." Mu Lingxuan added.
"Then the king will wait for the news of the crown prince." King Chen sat directly opposite Mu Lingxuan, speaking expressionlessly, this face was strangely pale, without the slightest blood.
