Hearing only the sound of "bang", the wooden door at the entrance of the building was slammed open, and more than ten thick-armored guards swarmed in.

"There are assassins!" The boy shouted.

The guards flew forward and formed a position to besiege the Assassin.

The guards were nowhere near as skilled as the Assassins, but they were able to trap him due to their numbers.

An elegant middle-aged man hurriedly walked over from the entrance of the building and called out with concern: "Qi Yue! ”

The boy looked back, "Father! ”。

When the assassin heard this, he immediately realized that the person who came should be Zhu Zhanyong, the king of Yue, and that boy must be the prince Zhu Qiyue! He roared, but seeing that the sword qi was agitated, and as soon as the guards retreated slightly, he pounced, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Zhu Qiyue's chest.

The sword momentum is very strange and powerful, which makes people feel cold from a distance.

The guards couldn't stop it, and they were all shocked.

King Yue's expression was dazed, and he was in a hurry to rush forward, but was dragged by two entourage.

Zhu Qiyue pushed Lu Xiyu beside him to the entrance of the building, and then floated sideways, like a spinning top.

The Assassin's sword slashed almost against the boy's back.

Everyone screamed in unison, and several maids covered their eyes in fright.

"Jiuhua Three Illusions!" The assassin exclaimed, then landed on his feet, and the horizontal sword wiped out towards Zhu Qiyue.

At this moment, the figure at the entrance of the corridor flickered, and a strong man in a strong suit under the age of thirty flew towards the assassin.

The sword in the strong man's hand was like a volley in the air, and it reached the assassin's chest in an instant.

The assassin's long sword was still a foot away from Zhu Qiyue, and at this moment, it was too late to withdraw the sword to protect it, he fell slightly, received a sword on his shoulder, and staggered back a few steps.

The Assassin glanced at the surrounding guards, and sprang into the air, flying straight out of the curtain.

The strong man just wanted to chase after him, but King Yue came back to his senses and hurriedly stopped: "Master Liang, slow down!" Pedestrians on the street lost control and fought to threaten innocent people. ”

It turned out that the strong man was Zhu Qiyue's martial artist Liang Gang.

King Yue walked quickly to his son's side and asked softly, "Qi Yue, are you okay?" His voice trembled a little.

With the help of the light, Zhu Qiyue saw his father's pale face, so he quickly calmed down from Fang Cai's fright, and said with relief: "The child is fine, my father doesn't have to worry." Then he bowed deeply to Liang Gang, and it was a scribe's ceremony.

Liang Gang saw that Zhu Qiyue was fine, smiled with relief, turned to King Yue and hugged his fist and said: "Your Highness, you will only send the guests out of the back door below, so you are a step late. ”

King Yue waved his hand and said: "Master Liang is serious, you are doing it for this prince, what is your fault?" But you saved Qi Yue's life, this king is very grateful, and there will be heavy thanks another day. ”

Liang Gang said: "Thank you, Your Highness!" Your Highness, the assassin should be using the swordsmanship of the Beihai Condor Gang. ”

"The Condor Gang?"

"Five years ago, the Beihai Condor Gang and the Tatar warriors fought in the Jurchen realm, with heavy casualties, and the survivors were nowhere to be found.

King Yue's brows furrowed, he was trying to remember when he had crossed paths with King Yue's Mansion in Beihai, which he had never dreamed of.

The past of the five dead men who committed suicide by poisoning a year ago came back to mind, the scope of suspicion had been delineated, and anger was burning in the chest.

This time, even if it is shaken, I will not hesitate to let go of the mastermind behind the scenes!

However, in order to find the target from the delineated range of suspicion, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will have to use a huge force.

Wait! After the king finishes his business, the queen mother will come to settle the account!

Thinking of this, King Yue calmed down.

At this time, Lu Xi broke in, looked around the messy scene in surprise, and after being slightly stunned, he was quite relieved to see that Lu Xiyu was safe and sound, and turned to King Yue and said: "Lu Xi, a member of the Ministry of Rites, see His Royal Highness King Yue!" ”

King Yue temporarily put aside the assassination of his son to stabilize his emotions. Wen Yan said: "Mr. Lu is here. Oh, what's going on on the streets right now? ”

Lu Xi replied: "Back to His Highness, the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Si Wu led thousands of people to maintain order and evacuate pedestrians, and at this moment, the street has been stable as usual. ”

King Yue nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Xi finished speaking, Lu Xi called "father". Almost at the same time as Lu Xiyu opened his mouth to call, Zhu Qiyue bowed down and said, "Sir." ”

The two children turned their heads to look at each other in unison, and their faces were full of surprise.

King Yue glanced at Lu Xiyu, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Lu, why did Ling Ai enter the Cai Lou alone?" ”

"I am ashamed that the streets are in chaos, and in the next moment, I don't know that the little girl went to the market alone, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince to bring her here before the pedestrians squeezed her, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable."

After experiencing the thrill of Fang Cai, Liang Gang was still in the mood to joke: "What a pair of golden boys and girls!" It's fate! ”

Lu Xi was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be suspected of climbing the dragon and the phoenix. "Your Highness, I have an appointment with my friends, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave!" After Lu Xi saluted, he pulled Lu Xiyu and walked out.

Lu Xiyu looked back at Zhu Qiyue, almost looking back three times in one step, until he came out of the Cailou.

At this time, Huang An entered the inner hall and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the envoy of Wara has already gone on the road. ”

King Yue said: "This king wants to enter the palace to face the saint, Master Liang, you bring ten guards with you; Huang An, you take the others back to your home. ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

There are many fewer people in the light market than before, so the traffic is smooth. King Yue and his entourage took three carriages and successfully exited the Dengshikou.

Zhu Qiyue and his father were in the same carriage, he lifted the curtain, and saw a full moon hanging high in the sky, and the moon was like a wash.

The other side of Fang Cai was still full of people, but after a while, this place was extremely quiet, like the ends of the world.

Moonlit nights don't always bring romantic feelings, more often than not, it's sultry.

King Yue only glanced at the moonlight outside the car window, and the assassin's story suddenly came to mind.

Looking at the bright moon, the remaining fear in Zhu Qiyue's heart gradually dissipated. Closing the curtain of the car, he moved towards his father, "Father, it's boring for a child to study alone, if only he had a companion." ”

King Yue was still pondering and did not answer.

"If you have a companion to read, you will always taste and learn from each other, and you will naturally grow faster."

King Yue finally came back to his senses and sighed softly.

"Father also wants to find a companion for you to read, but the prince's family has many gentlemen, so don't do it."

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have a daughter, and the child thought that Mr. Lu had no family."

"Understood, want to find your master's daughter as a companion? This matter is a bit troublesome, and your master probably refuses to nod. ”

Zhu Qiyue leaned on his father's lap in disappointment.

King Yue stroked his son's head and said, "However, if the Empress Dowager speaks, it will be different." ”

Zhu Qiyue raised his head and exclaimed, "Really! ”

"Of course it's true, during the Yongle period, when the Empress Dowager was still the crown princess, she sponsored dozens of children from poor families in Beijing to study, and the most appreciated by the Empress Dowager was your master."
