Chapter Seventy-Six: The Assassin Kills His Family

No one expected that the enemy's final killer weapon was actually here - they actually bought Li Zhen's imperial kitchen and made a move on Li Zhen when it was most unlikely to be sold. But it's too late to say anything now, Duan Tiande's shrimp gun has already been stabbed, and Li Zhen has been forced into a corner......

They had already thought about what they would face when they went back - the prince was assassinated, and as the prince's bodyguards, they naturally couldn't escape the blame, even if they didn't die, their lives would be over......

Everyone closed their eyes and waited for the final moment to come, but in the end, they did not hear the sound of sharp weapons piercing into the flesh and blood spurting, nor did they hear Li Zhen's screams, but instead heard another strange sound......

"Zheng!"

Duan Tiande's third assassination was not stabbed after all, because the shrimp gun he was stabbing was caught by a crab claw from the shadows, which should be the first time in history that a lobster collided with a crab on such a formal occasion. Of course, it would be nice if the shrimp gun could be a real crab claw, but unfortunately, the crab claw that clamped the shrimp gun was not original, but made of steel, and it was the thirteen knights who had been hiding by Li Zhen's side who shot it, and the person who shot it was the blade - the unlucky ghost in "Dragon Rider", the holder of the crab card, and the first and worst knight among all the knights to die (the card box was broken, and then devoured by his own contract beast).

"Damn." Duan Tiande missed a blow, and stabbed the thing in his other hand suddenly, it turned out that at the same time as he broke the shrimp gun, the other hand also took off a piece of carapace from the lobster's body, although the carapace is not as sharp as the shrimp gun, but such a big lobster, the carapace is also very thick, if it can hit the vital point, it can also cause death.

But unfortunately, his carapace couldn't be pierced, because at the same time as his hand was raised, a sharp sword skipped past his wrist, and it was not until the sword light dissipated that Duan Tiande's left hand was separated from his arm, and the pain of the severed hand passed from his wrist to his brain......

"Ah~" Duan Tiande couldn't hold back any longer, let go of the shrimp gun with his right hand, covered his severed hand and screamed.

Everything was done between lightning and fire, and it was only at this time that everyone rushed over, and Cheng Chuliang was the first to ask Li Zhen for his guilt: "His subordinates deserve death, and they actually let the assassins mix into the ship, which frightened His Highness, and asked His Highness to surrender his guilt." ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to forgive your sins......"

"It doesn't matter, this Tiande is a person under the palace, and it is not under your jurisdiction, no wonder you." Although Li Zhen has just escaped from the assassination, the quality he has cultivated for more than 20 years still allows him to return to his normal mood as soon as possible, and he is not like those incompetent emperors and nobles in the TV series, who randomly accuse and scold his subordinates for not doing things well, making him frightened. That will not only expose their weakness to others, but also make their subordinates deviate from morality, the royal children have received the best education since childhood, so how to not talk about it, but their own quality is still very qualified, which is the case even for the most foolish Li You and Li Su - and only in TV dramas will there be such a brainless plot.

"Your Highness, this person has been controlled, what should I do with it?" Just when Cheng Chuliang pleaded guilty to Li Zhen, Duan Tiande was also arrested.

"Pull it down and cut it." Li Zhen said without looking at it, this Tiande was obviously controlled by others, and eighty percent of the people who controlled him also chose to hide their identities and couldn't ask anything, so it was better to be neat than so.

"Your Highness spares my life, I am also forced to do so, I am willing to confess, I am willing to say everything I know......" Duan Tiande panicked when he heard it, he no longer had the same cruelty as before, and he was about to ask Li Zhen for his guilt when he struggled.

It's a pity that Li Zhen didn't look at him, but was very interested in the shrimp gun he broke off, took it from the sharp hand and looked at it carefully, waved it twice, and couldn't help but admire: "Yes, it is indeed a good thing, the hardness is not harder than steel at all, as long as it is slightly decorated, it is a good collection." ”

I have to say that this Tiande chose a good weapon - since the two stories of the assassination of the king's bureaucracy and Jing Ke's assassination of the king of Qin, all the people in power have become more and more cautious about similar things, and all the food must not only be tested before being sent to the authorities, but also the food will not be sent to the king by the cook himself, but by the guards or eunuchs.

Duan Tiande himself is the imperial chef, of course he knows the rules here, so he didn't hide the weapon in the lobster at all, but chose the weapon of the lobster itself, this lobster is so huge, the shrimp gun is already a little longer than the ordinary short sword, it is the best assassination weapon, and it is not easy to be noticed - because the shrimp gun itself is brought by the lobster, who will pay attention to the material of the dish itself when checking the food? And as a superior person, the food they eat not only has to pay attention to color and flavor, but also the shape is also an aspect that they pay great attention to, even if a root is broken when cooking, it must be discarded immediately, not to mention such an important accessory as the shrimp gun, it must be placed on it completely, and this just gives Duan Tiande the opportunity to make a move.

"Your Highness, what my subordinates said is true, I know who the other party is, and there are also my accomplices, I am willing to say it all." Duan Tiande still didn't give up: "I don't beg for my own life, I just hope that His Highness can spare my family." ”

"Hehe......" Li Zhen finally glanced at him with a straight eye: "What you know is not rare in this palace at all, as for the fate of you and your family, it is natural to leave it to the law to judge, and it is useless to plead with this palace...... If you dare to do such a thing, you should understand what punishment you will face next...... If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and you have been in the palace for so long, so you should be able to understand it more clearly than this palace......"

"Poof~" Duan Tiande spurted out a mouthful of blood, and stared at Li Zhen resentfully: "Li Zhen...... You...... Good...... Ruthless ......"

Where did he not know what Li Zhen meant? Li Zhen doesn't plan to let his family go, after all, the assassin of the royal family must die, and the assassination of the prince and the emperor's dead family is a legitimate question in the law, and if he assassinates the prince, if it is judged according to the law, it will naturally kill the whole family.

"Hehe......" Li Zhen gave him a divine hehe again - you are ready to take my life, do you still expect me to forgive you? How can there be such a simple thing in this world? I'm not a Virgin, so I don't have so much kindness.

I'm sorry, I've had a cold for the past two days, and I've been sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, and fire...... Sick to death, I took a day off yesterday and resumed the update today.
