Chapter 496: The Emperor Has Been Assassinated

Usually Lu Sheng contacts the emperor, but he didn't expect that this time the emperor personally contacted him, and something big must have happened.

Lu Sheng picked up the dragon pattern order and dialed the runes, and in an instant, as if countless stars were released from the dragon pattern order, dots of light danced like tadpoles.

"Lu Sheng, I'm the Fifth Prince, I'm the Fifth Prince! Together with Qingluan Sword Immortal Bu Feiyan, come to Nancang Mansion quickly!"

"Your Highness, why did you launch the rune to pass the book?"

"Father is assassinated, you come to escort him quickly!"

The voice landed, and the communication connection was cut off on the other side. And Lu Sheng's mind exploded with an instant.

"Husband, is the emperor assassinated?"

Lu Sheng shook his head, his face was solemn as never before, "I don't know yet, but the situation must be extremely critical." ”

"The emperor was assassinated...... The emperor rewarded the three armies in Nancang Mansion to see off the three armies, how could he be assassinated? Husband, could it be a trap? The fifth prince is the commander of the three armies, if he wants to ......

"Impossible, even if he wants to rebel against the Three Towns Army of Chuzhou, he will not agree. Don't forget, the foundation of the five princes is not in the Three Towns Army of Chuzhou. Moreover, this time the army went out, the five princes were the commanders, and Dayu had no war for a hundred years, and this military merit was particularly important.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that whoever the emperor appoints to accompany the army is the prince who is most likely to inherit the great treasure. There is no need for the five princes at all, as long as the army comes back triumphantly, it will not be far from him canonizing the crown prince. ”

"That ......"

"It's useless for us to guess here, we only know when we arrive, before leaving, I will arrange the affairs of Xuantian Mansion first. You pack up at home, travel lightly, and rush to the state as soon as possible. ”

After quickly arranging the affairs of Xuantian Mansion, Lu Sheng hurriedly set off with Bu Feiyan, and the two of them were empty, and finally arrived at Nancang Mansion in Lizhou in the afternoon of the next day.

But outside Nancang Mansion, it was blocked by the three military formations, even if Lu Sheng and Dong Shuai were old acquaintances, Dong Shuai could not let Lu Sheng go, and he had to wait for permission inside to enter Nancang.

"Dong Shuai, even if you don't let us in, then you have to tell me something, right?"

"Don't blame Lord Lu, the military order is like a mountain. I only know that the emperor was assassinated last night, and then His Royal Highness the Fifth Emperor urgently raised the tent and ordered us to surround Nancang Mansion and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

But I don't even know what the situation is in Nancang City. ”

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's brows furrowed even more, "You don't even know the emperor's safety, then how dare you obey orders?"

The implication is very clear: If all the orders were issued by the Five Princes, then what if it was the Five Princes behind this assassination? Even if the Three Towns Army was kept in the dark, it would be an accomplice.

"The five princes are the commanders of the three armies, and the former emperor has handed over the tiger talisman of the three armies to the five princes. Moreover, when the three princes gave the order, they were accompanied by the two adults who left the state and Wang Xi, the governor of the inner house, and the order of the five princes should have been instructed by the emperor. ”

"Dong Minghuang, what the hell are you doing? Why are you even holding me back from entering the city?" An arrogant roar sounded far away, and the voice landed, and the person had already opened the military tent and walked in.

Shen Ling's face was very dark, and it was obvious that he had also eaten at the gate of the city. Seeing that Lu Sheng and Bu Feiyan were also there, Shen Ling's face became a little better.

"Little Marquis, it's useless for you to lose your temper with me, this is what His Royal Highness means. ”

"Where's Him, where is he?"

"In the city!"

"You go and report to him for me, just say that I'm Shen Ling here, open the door for me!"

"I'm sorry, but the military order doesn't allow anyone to enter or leave Nancang Mansion, not even the messengers. ”

"You-"

Choked by Dong Minghuang's words, Shen Ling couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Then you say, what is the situation in the city, how is the emperor?"

"I don't know. ”

"You're not going to let us just wait outside, are you?" Shen Ling vomited blood angrily, and in a word, he almost gritted his teeth and burst out from between his teeth.

"Report-" At this moment, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the tent, "Report to the marshal, the Fifth Highness has an order, ordering Lu Sheng and his wife, as well as Shen Ling, the prince of Nanling, to enter the city immediately." The handsome man can open a mouth and let them in. ”

"Got it!" Dong Minghuang smiled at the three of them, "Please!"

The three of them were side by side, and Lu Sheng looked at Shen Ling's dark and anxious expression out of the corner of his eyes, "You don't know anything either?"

"That guy couldn't ask half a word, and cut off the communication without waiting for me to ask. When I see him, I'm going to beat him. ”

The relationship between Shen Ling and the Five Princes, Lu Sheng knows. It's just that Lu Sheng didn't like it back then, and he also felt a lot of pressure with the five princes, so he went once or twice and never went again.

It's hard to imagine that a person who talks all day long and a stuffy gourd can become irreversible friends.

Entering Nancang Mansion, there was no one on the street of the entire Nancang Mansion, scattered leaves flying, and broken baskets and bamboo baskets rolling in the wind. It was as if they had walked into a dead city, a ghost realm.

Under the leadership of the Taishou Mansion, Lu Sheng and the three of them were led to a mansion in the city, and at the gate of the mansion, there was a row of long knives out of the sheath and the killing intent was boiling.

When Lu Sheng passed by them, he could still feel the murderous aura emanating from them. Enter the house and be taken directly into the backyard.

"Your Highness, Lord Lu and Shen Gongzi have brought it. ”

"Come in!"

The door opened, revealing the bedroom in a golden glow. Dozens of candles illuminate the closed room.

The fifth prince Ji Yu held the medicine bowl in one hand and carefully fed it to Ji Zheng with the other. Every movement is made with the utmost care and gentleness.

The moment Lu Sheng saw Ji Zheng, his hanging heart let go. Although Ji Zheng's face was pale and unconscious, fortunately, he still had breath. Although the breath is weak, it is better to be steady.

Judging by Lu Sheng's experience, although Ji Zheng was injured, it was not a fatal injury, and with the natural treasures of the royal family, the problem should not be big.

"How is the emperor's injury?" Shen Ling was silent for a long time and suddenly asked.

"Shhhhh Ji Yu said lightly, slowly fed the medicine in the medicine bowl, and then gently helped Ji Zheng to lie down, and carefully covered the quilt for Ji Zheng.

After all this was done slowly, Ji Yu straightened up, "Take care of my father, you come with me." ”

Ji Yu's whole body revealed weirdness, and he led the way in front quietly, while Lu Sheng and the three of them followed Ji Yu patiently. Turning to the door of another room, Ji Yu pushed the door open and entered the study.

This is the study, after entering, Ji Yu turned back to Shen Ling and said, "Close the door." ”

Shen Ling closed the door suspiciously, "Hi Yu, how is the emperor? Also, what about my old man?"

Ji Yu still didn't speak, and after groping around the edge of the bookshelf for a while, a sudden cardinal sound sounded. The shelves split open from both sides, revealing a staircase that descends diagonally.

Ji Yu took a candle and slowly stepped into the secret room.

"What the hell are you doing, why is there a secret room here?"

"I didn't build it, this was the courtyard of Nancanghou before, when Nancanghou was beheaded all over the house, this secret room was also searched by the imperial court. Originally, it had been put like this, but now it happens to be used. ”

", how long have you been in Nancang Mansion, how can you build a secret room?

"Come with me and find out, with Lu Sheng and his wife by your side, what are you afraid of?"

"Which eye of yours saw that I was afraid?"

“**!”

“......”

followed Ji Yu down the road, and suddenly it became clear that another room appeared in front of him, and behind the desk in the room, another Ji Zheng sat there reading quietly.

"Father, I brought Lu Sheng and Shen Ling here!"

"It's finally here! Okay, you step back first!"

And seeing this Ji Zheng, Shen Ling's eyes showed a deep sense of surprise, "Your Majesty......?" What's going on? There's one out there, how can there's another one here?"

"There's nothing strange about it, who doesn't have a stand-in?" said Ji Zheng with a faint smile. His eyes fell on Lu Sheng.

"It turns out that it was a stand-in who was assassinated yesterday? The minister congratulated the emperor on saving the day. Lu Sheng clenched his fists and bowed.

"Lu Qing, why did you confirm me so quickly?"

"Even if two people look similar, their voices will be different. And even if the voice that can be imitated is the same, a martial art cannot be faked. The person Fang Caichen saw, although he was the same as the emperor's appearance, his aura was heavy, and he was obviously just an ordinary person.

At first, the minister thought that the emperor was seriously injured, but now he sees that the emperor is sure that he does not understand martial arts. ”

"It seems that there are still flaws in that stand-in!" Ji Zheng smiled faintly, "Two Aiqing, step fairy, please take a seat!"

"Your Majesty, what is going on......? Are you really assassinated?" Lu Sheng hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Zhang, please show up!" said Ji Zheng behind him, and suddenly the space distorted, and a figure appeared like a ghost. Seeing the other party appear, Bu Feiyan nervously clenched the Snow God Sword in his hand.

"Otherworldly?"

"Mr. Zhang Mingyang Zhang is an academician of the Sheji Academy Palace, and he has been secretly guarding my safety all these years. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang, I would have been killed by the gangsters. ”

"The emperor must not say this, he is really ashamed. Last night, the old man failed to protect the emperor, and the old man was ......"

If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's sacrifice of his life, I wouldn't have been able to wait for the reincarnation relic. I don't know much about such masters, so you should explain it to the three Aiqing. ”

"Okay!" Zhang Mingyang let out a long sigh, "Yesterday during the day, the emperor had just rewarded the three armies, and the three armies were originally going to start the southern expedition this morning, but they didn't expect to be delayed because of last night's events.

Last night, four masters quietly sneaked into the palace to assassinate the saint, although I woke up, there was a master of the transcendent realm among these four assassins.

I restrained the Transcendent Realm master, while the other three Dao Realm masters rushed madly at the Holy Lord. The king of Nanling gave his life to escort us, and we fought and retreated.

We knew that we had to delay time, the million-strong army of the Three Towns Army was here, and they would never be able to last. And we know, and so do the other side.

They desperately pursued and killed the saint, and the king of Nanling was invincible. A Dao realm master broke through the defensive line, and the saint was stabbed in the chest by the one at this moment.

In a panic, I killed the assassin with one palm, and I was also attacked from behind by the transcendent master. ”
