Chapter 262: Assassination

Adou and Ren Tianming were guarding in the dark in the garden outside the imperial study, both of them were very patient, but they had their own thoughts.

If there is a chance to assassinate Chongzhen, there is no problem at all with the famous bow in the hands of the two of them. And the problem is that Ren Tianming has to take into account his own retreat, unlike Adou, who can fight with his life.

So on Ren Tianming's side, he was actually very hesitant to make a move, and he definitely wouldn't make the first move. If Adou made the first move, he could at least attract all the guards, so that he Ren Tianming would have a chance to escape.

In the end, Ren Tianming doesn't care about Adou's life and death at all, as long as he doesn't drag himself down, everything is fine.

Wu Chengen went in and out of the imperial study several times, giving orders to Chongzhen, and several guards left after receiving the secret order. The imperial study also calmed down after that, and there was no movement for a long time.

On the third watch, the lights in the imperial study were blown out, and Chongzhen walked out of the imperial study under the escort of a group of attendants.

The guards outside suddenly became vigilant, and several imperial guards quickly checked the garden and found that there was nothing abnormal, so they nodded to Wu Chengen to signal safety.

During this period, the royal car outside was ready, and Chongzhen began to walk outside the courtyard with the support of the eunuchs and palace maids.

Ren Tianming, who had already hid on the roof, had the opportunity to shoot Chongzhen at this moment, but as he thought before, he did not make a move, but was waiting for Adou below.

There are too many people around Chongzhen, and Adou has no chance to make a move, and he is wondering why Ren Tianming on the roof didn't do it. Adou suddenly saw an opportunity .......

When Chongzhen arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the eunuchs and palace maids who supported him suddenly rushed out of the gate of the courtyard a few steps ahead, waiting in front of the royal car. And Chongzhen was only accompanied by Wu Chengen at the moment, and those personal guards also went outside to guard.

Adou immediately bent his bow and arrows, aiming directly at the back of Chongzhen's heart. The opportunity to shoot is fleeting, and there is not much time left for Adou, almost almost just in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh......"

A cold light flashed in the night, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, and went straight to Chongzhen's heart who had just stepped up the steps.

"Escort ......"

Two shouts broke through the air, only to see two guards at the door, regardless of their own life and death, one jumped directly towards Chongzhen, and the other jumped behind him, completely using his body to block the arrow.

"Bang ......"

After a moment of chaos, the dust settled!

When Adou picked up the second arrow again, he suddenly found that Chongzhen was gone. In front of him, more than a dozen guards rushed towards him, swords coming out one by one, fierce and vicious.

"Failed assassination...... Damn it. Adou secretly sighed, and without hesitation, he shot the second arrow in his hand, shooting the guard who rushed to the front to the ground, and then looked up at the dark and motionless roof.

"Damn Ren Tianming, you remember it for Lao Tzu." Adou had already understood at this moment that Ren Tianming's guy had slipped away at some point.

Putting away the bow and arrows, Adou didn't dare to stay any longer, he ran directly to the courtyard wall, and then fled over the wall, quickly disappearing into the imperial city in the night.

"Catch the assassin!"

The guards shouted loudly while chasing, and the palace was suddenly lit up, and guards began to rush out of the courtyards. The guards of the brigade also began to search everywhere, and the Susama of the Imperial City awoke from its silence, and the shouts of the Assassins were heard everywhere.

After making sure that the assassin had fled, Chongzhen was once again sent back to the imperial study, and Wu Chengen shouted in panic to pass the imperial doctor.

The eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, once upon a time, they encountered such a thing, and someone actually broke into the imperial city to assassinate the emperor. But now didn't seem to be the time to be surprised by this, just now they clearly saw that the noble emperor seemed to be injured.

The entire imperial study fell into chaos in an instant, and the imperial doctor was also dragged to the imperial study by the guards as soon as possible.

Chongzhen was lying on the dragon couch with a gloomy face, his left arm was bleeding nonstop, and a long wound could be seen on it, which was the wound left by the sharp arrow. And the guard who blocked the arrow for him just now was considered dead, and the arrow obviously shot directly through the guard's body, and then it grazed Chongzhen's arm.

Despite this, Ke Chongzhen's arm was still so badly injured, which shows how strong the arrow was just now?

The imperial doctor diagnosed Chongzhen as soon as possible, but fortunately it was only a skin injury, and after scrubbing the wound, it was no big problem to apply medicine and bandage.

Chongzhen retreated from everyone, leaving only two personal guards and Wu Chengen to stay, and he said gloomily: "What happened to those two guards just now?" ”

Wu Chengen learned that Chongzhen was no longer in serious trouble, he breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "One death and one injury, the imperial doctor is already diagnosing the injured, there should be no major problem." ”

Chongzhen frowned and said coldly: "Properly place the dead, and the injured will be sealed as a first-class guard." ”

"It's the emperor." Wu Chengen nodded understandingly.

"Did the assassin catch it?" Chongzhen asked about the guards, and his tone changed even to ask about the assassin.

"Back to the emperor, I don't know yet." Wu Chengen hesitated for a moment before replying truthfully.

"It is decreed that the Imperial City will be sealed from now on, and only entry and exit will be allowed until the assassin is caught." Chongzhen roared viciously.

"The old slave will do it, please let the emperor rest assured, and the old slave will handle the assassin's affairs properly." Wu Chengen's heart trembled slightly, but he was afraid that Chongzhen would be angry and take the matter on himself.

Chongzhen nodded lightly: "Well, you have done this well, and you can't let that assassin escape no matter what." ”

After Wu Chengen agreed, he left the imperial study, and arranged for several teams of guards to come to defend it outside to ensure the safety of the imperial study before he went to support the arrest of the assassins.

Ren Tianming was still hiding on the roof of the imperial study at the moment, Chongzhen was only injured and there was no major problem, he could see it clearly.

This also means that Adou missed and exposed himself, and now the entire palace is heavily guarded, and even he doesn't dare to act rashly. It was even more impossible to escape, he hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then carefully left the roof.

After Adou got rid of the guards who were in hot pursuit, he ran straight to the cold palace that had just arrived. Now that he has been exposed, and the assassination of Chongzhen has failed, the only thing that can hide is the cold palace.

Running all the way, I ran into a lot of guards who were searching, and there were running footsteps everywhere, as if the guards of the entire imperial city had been dispatched. Adou understands that there is no possibility of escaping at this time, and he must find a safe and secure hiding place, wait for this turmoil to pass, and then find a way to escape.
