Chapter 114: The Second Assassination

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the people in the capital are busy, but fortunately, although Lin Chen'an is forbidden to celebrate, he did not say that he is not allowed to post Spring Festival couplets, etc., so the normal atmosphere of the New Year is still there, but it is a lot lighter, and there is a lot less laughter, it seems that everyone is afraid of something.

According to the rules, the emperor is to carry out the ancestor worship ceremony, and the location of the sacrifice is in Chong'an Mountain, where there is the only royal temple. Of course, this was only after the establishment of the Great Qi.

The emperor's worship of ancestors is a major event, and the people in the court have already prepared, and the day before the ancestor worship, they also sent someone to check it, and there is nothing abnormal.

In the darkness of the night, a group of people quietly approached the place, and the patrolling guards kept passing by. But no one noticed the anomaly. Ascending the mountain under layers of guards is not an easy task, but it seems to be a breeze for this group of people.

The square for ancestor worship has been prepared, and not only that, but the square is brightly lit, and there is not a dark corner around it. The nocturnal walker stopped and watched from afar.

There were more guards near the square, and they looked even better, and they kept looking around as they patrolled, and they would send people to check on even the slightest disturbance.

With a gesture from the leader, the group retreated to the periphery quietly and orderly, and there was still no sound during the whole process.

"Boss! It's too strict, I'm afraid it's not easy to act! After the environment was safe, a man said in a low voice.

"If the square doesn't work, then ambush on the road!" Another person suggested.

"No, there are more guards on the road, and there are many ministers, so when the time comes, there will be many people, and it will not be easy to lock the target." The leader thought carefully and denied the plan.

"So what do we do?"

"What people!"

Just when they were still discussing, they suddenly heard an exclamation, and several people instantly fell silent and put their hands on their weapons.

"Lord Hui, we are the palace maids who are responsible for checking the tribute wine, this is a pair of cards!" A soft voice rang out.

"Okay, you guys, follow in!" The commander of the guards was an extremely cautious person, and although the opponent had a pair of cards, he still couldn't be completely reassured, so he immediately ordered a few guards to follow, and it seemed that he was going to monitor the whole process.

"Yes!"

After a concerted response, the footsteps faded away.

"Cheer me up, the ancestor worship ceremony is very important, if something happens, no one will survive!" The commander reminded in a loud voice: "Keep an eye on me, not even a fly is allowed in!" ”

"Yes!" Again, in unison.

It wasn't until there was no sound around them that they began to speak slowly, but this time they had a hearty eye and sent someone to stare around.

"Boss? I can't get close at all, and it seems that someone is in charge of eating, so I don't have a chance to start! One of them said in a low voice.

"Withdraw!" The leader thought for a moment and evacuated the scene.

However, their people did not leave Chong'an Mountain, but found a place to hide, and only the leader left Chong'an Mountain.

Not long after he left, he saw a man standing in the cold wind. There was no moon this night, and the wind was not strong, but it blew the corners of the man's clothes, taking advantage of the vast night, giving people a feeling of being unable to see through, and although there was only one back, it was inexplicably terrifying.

"Master, the guards are too strict, there is no chance to get close at all, and the food and wine are also checked by special personnel, so there is no chance to do it!" The leader clenched his fists in return.

"Hmm!" The man replied lightly, "Let everyone retreat!" ”

"Yes!" The leader didn't ask much, and turned around directly.

After the others left, that person turned around, and it was Qin Bai! He glanced in the direction of Chong'an Mountain, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as Qing Zao expected, and they had no chance to get close at all. He couldn't help but think of what Qing Zao said before leaving-

"The last assassination has frightened Lin Chenan, this time it is a good opportunity to worship the ancestors, but Lin Chenan is not stupid, and he will also strengthen his defense!" Qing Zao took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"What then?" Luo Shize asked this, but he didn't have the slightest sense of worry, as if he was just asking casually, but Qin Bai was extremely concerned and looked straight at the green jujube.

"Chong'an Mountain is not in a hurry, but when he returns to the palace, he should let down his guard!" Qing Zao smiled: "Even if you don't completely let down your guard, but those guards have been nervous for a day, and it is inevitable that there will be times when they make mistakes!" ”

"Then we won't do anything on Chong'an Mountain?" Qin Bai felt that it was a little inappropriate, after all, such a good opportunity.

"Of course you can't do nothing!" Qingzao took another sip: "Otherwise, Lin Chen'an will not be at ease!" ”

Qin Bai looked at Qing Zao in puzzlement, but Qing Zao looked at Luo Shize, but Luo Shize himself looked at the book in his hand quietly as if he hadn't heard them speak.

With Lin Chen's temperament, he probably won't even drink saliva, and the only thing he can import that day is wine. Since the drinks are guarded, go in a different direction. Qingzao put down the cup in his hand, and by the way, he took away the book in Luo Shize's hand: "Brother, your country, you have to worry about dim sum!" ”

"Isn't that you?" Luo Shize smiled, still gentle: "My brother is still recuperating his body!" ”

Qingzao pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything, but the book was not returned to Luo Shize, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to let him listen carefully. Luo Shize didn't mind, but smiled dotingly: "Okay, good, listen to Zhen Zhen!" ”

"Brother, I think that no matter how much Lin Chen'an avoids it, he still wants to be incense, so I found someone to make a special batch of incense in advance and brought it in." Qing Zao smiled like a little fox to be rewarded.

"Aren't all those incense incense checked repeatedly?" Luo Shize really didn't expect it.

"Of course, those incense are fine, but what if you add other flavors?"

Luo Shize suddenly thought that Lin Caier was also poisoned like this back then, and there was more than one source of poison, but nothing was found! If it weren't for his medical skills, he would have almost been deceived!

"Tell me?" Luo Shize is really interested.

In fact, it is very simple, the green jujube is just a batch of unique incense, and then add the breakfast that Lin Chennan will definitely eat, and the last glass of wine will definitely stimulate all the poison. Of course, this poison is deadly, but it doesn't matter if you don't die, Qingzao specially arranged an assassination, which was inside the palace.

Qin Bai woke up from his memories and looked at the sky, the people of Chong'an Mountain should have withdrawn, he looked in that direction, and sure enough, a few figures left, he no longer hesitated, and directly raised his sword and approached those people.

Qingzao suspects that there are traitors among these people!

In fact, not only Qingjujube, Qin Bai also began to suspect that there was a problem with the night tower during this time, but fortunately, there was no problem with the people in the small courtyard, so the problem could only appear in the hands of peripheral people, and all those involved in the operation this time were peripheral people.

Of course, in each team, he arranged a person who could rest assured, and they had no other task than to observe the people around them.

"Master!"

After those people came back, they didn't say anything, and Qin Bai didn't say anything, just personally took them to a dilapidated house not far away: "Stay here, don't go anywhere without an order!" ”

Those people didn't understand, but they still did what they were told.

In fact, Qin Bai was very anxious, he didn't worry about Qing Zao alone. But fortunately, Qingzao has always been in the courtyard and will not go out, and it has become the safest place, and now his task is to find out who may betray him.

Qin Bai was a safe person, he didn't say anything directly, just glanced at one of them without a trace before leaving, and the person shook his head invisibly, and he left with confidence.

There was more than one group of people acting today, and each group was in a different place, and although he was very skeptical, he couldn't keep an eye on this group. Those who had been arranged to infiltrate the palace had already gathered, and they did not yet know their purpose and time for action, and it was time to tell them.

Otherwise, it will be too late until tomorrow.

It's just that Qin Bai never thought that after he left, there would be a huge change here, and when he found out that something was wrong and returned the same way, there was only one corpse left, and only two people were missing, one was his informant, and the other was the leader of the team this time!

Qin Bai's face was instantly ugly, it was his negligence, he thought that he would not be found if he buried the informant deeper, and he could observe other people, but he didn't expect that the leader of this group had gone down the mountain to report the situation, during this time period, no one could monitor him, and it was uncertain who he had come into contact with.

Only, why did he take the informant, and not kill it? Did he think the informant would know better?

Indeed, when the informant was brought to the shadow, it was already unfazed, and people like them were determined to die every time they acted. Yelou treats him well, he won't betray Yelou!

And the shadow didn't expect that after he had used all those tortures, this person still refused to tell where Qingjube was hiding. He lowered his eyes and thought quietly for a while, and finally understood that these people might really not know anything.

However, at such a critical time, does Qingjube not use the people around him who trust him?

"As far as the subordinates know, they seem to have given up on the operation!" The leader stood aside, "The defense on the mountain is too strict, and I can't find a chance at all!" ”

"Impossible!" After dealing with each other for so long, Shadow also knows who the opponent is: "This opportunity is rare, he won't give up!" ”

Having said that, the shadow didn't know what the other party would do, so he could only go out and order his subordinates to guard strictly. Just as he had turned around after giving the order, he suddenly thought of something else.

If you don't do it at the ancestor worship ceremony, will it be arranged after returning to the palace?
