Just as he was about to shoot, a copper coin flew and struck the sword, and the sharp soft sword was half an inch off.

Half an inch was enough, and the soft sword cut through the prince's skin, with a trace of blood.

Xue Yue was a little stunned, thinking that she had succeeded. Instantly understood, the difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles. Cutting the throat and cutting the skin is actually not much different, but this distance is the distance between life and death.

Xue Yue came back to her senses and regained control of the soft sword, but it was too late. The prince's guards have rushed out and surrounded the prince, Xueyue has no chance, there is a trace of fierceness in the eyes of the pickaxe king, and he gives his guards a look, and he will kill Xueyue on the spot!

Xue Yue laughed and said that the prince lost a life, and the next thing should be to serve the country loyally and be a martyr. But Ma Chao laughed and applauded vigorously. Then he calmly walked up to the prince, and the guards had already been frightened by the assassination of the prince. Everyone looked at Ma Chao nervously, and Ma Chao knelt down with a plop.

Ma Chao is always a kind of groveling appearance, in this era of humble etiquette, this habit will make people feel commonplace, but smart people can see that Ma Chao is using a groveling means to resist this era.

The prince looked at Ma Chao seriously, and Ma Chao said that he planned the assassination.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, including the mastermind of this time, King Wanyan Yunzhong, who didn't expect it. He originally wanted to frame Ma Chao, and thought of a lot of wording and evidence. Ma Chao's words made everything he did go down the drain, and the evidence and witnesses he prepared were to prove that Ma Chao was the mastermind this time.

Ma Chao himself admitted it, what is the role of these evidences and witnesses? Even if he takes it out, it can only be the icing on the cake, and without the charcoal in the snow, the icing on the cake is really dispensable.

The prince stiffened his face and asked Ma Chao why he did this, Ma Chao said that he had told the prince Liu Zizhong in advance that he had done all this because of loyalty.

Many people don't understand that loyalty and assassination are completely opposites.

After Yan Yunzhong, he had already given an order, and let the master of the Privy Council arrest Ma Chao, Ma Chao glared and shouted Who dare! The masters of the Privy Council were a little hesitant, they had already been to the scene many times in the battle of the Guild Hall, and from the scene of the battle, the Privy Council could not estimate Ma Chao's combat effectiveness.

In Kyoto, there are very few such cases, and there are only a handful of people who cannot be estimated.

Ma Chao roared, and he really calmed everyone. The prince frowned and asked Ma Chao to explain the matter. Ma Chao said that this assassination was to verify the safety of the prince, and this matter was agreed by Taifu Liu Zizhong.

Liu Zizhong served the royal family all his life, and for the sake of the crown prince, he also advised the emperor to improve the environment of the East Palace. The prince's safety has never been neglected.

Ma Chao said that he once said that the prince's safety hazards were all due to the fact that after the prince watched the dance that was reborn, the prince was too obsessed with Han dance, which was the prince's weakness.

The crown prince frowned and did not speak.

At this time, a guard passed the word that the Taifu Liu Zizhong was critically ill, although Liu Zizhong was old, he and the prince were also teachers and friends.

The prince left in a hurry, and a feast ended awkwardly, and the prince didn't say anything? Wanyan Yunzhong didn't dare to embarrass Ma Chao, and this matter was temporarily suppressed.

Back at the hall, the eldest lady took the phoenix crown and the silk curtain, and the wedding date had been set, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the auspicious day. There are still a few days before the New Year, and the days are in, and the eldest lady asks questions, but Ma Chaoxin is not here, which makes the eldest lady unhappy. Mo Yu was careful, and he didn't ask, he made tea for Ma Chao, and the tea was sent by a good teahouse, with a pleasant fragrance.

Ma Chao drank a few sips, his mind was clearer, and he called Wang Wu in, looking at Wang Wu's appearance, Ma Chao knew that Wang Wu also couldn't figure it out, so he asked Wang Wu what was wrong. Wang Wu said that the prince was injured strangely. Ma Chao asked where the strange was going, Wang Wu said that he was quite familiar with the power of Xueyue, and he had seen through the path of the soft sword, and it stands to reason that the copper coin changed the sword path of the soft sword, and the prince should not be injured.

Not only that, Wang Wu also said that looking at the prince's appearance, it didn't look like he was panicked, which caused this coincidence. Wang Wu said this, and was silent again. But Ma Chao said next, the prince bumped into it by himself, Wang Wu lowered his head and pondered after speaking, and when he heard Ma Chao's words, he raised his head suddenly and looked at Ma Chao in surprise.

When Ma Chao saw Wang Wu's reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly, so he asked Wang Wu to talk about how much skill it would take to hit such a sharp blade like that and only suffer some minor injuries.

This is not a matter of guts, Wang Wu was silent for a moment, and then said, the prince's skills are definitely higher than Wanyan Guangyang. Ma Chao doesn't like this metaphor, but this is a good metaphor, Ma Chao almost died in the hands of Wanyan Guangyang, and he has the deepest understanding of Wanyan Guangyang's skills. The prince is more powerful than him, who will believe this, as we all know, the prince is just a prince who has some strength and knows a little kung fu.

Wang Wu saw that Ma Chao's face was not good, so he asked Ma Chao what he was thinking? Ma Chao said that in Xueyue's matter, he had already taken the first step and scrapped Yan Yunzhong's arrangement. However, now it seems that he is really too pediatric. The opponent in this game of chess is not Wan Yan Yunzhong at all, but the prince.

Wang Wu's eyes widened when he heard this, he didn't know what Ma Chao was talking about? Ma Chao sighed and said Wait for the news, if the guess is right, Liu Zizhong will not survive tonight. The crown prince Liu Zizhong, who finally completed the Yan family in his life, is the pillar of the Jin Kingdom, the prince's mentor and friend, even if he dies in the end, he is also serving the prince.

Bedside ......

The prince held Liu Zizhong's hand and was silent. Liu Zizhong's face was flushed, and he was obviously looking back. He looked at the prince, exhaled a long breath, and asked the prince if he had thought about it? The prince was silent for a moment and nodded. Liu Zizhong smiled bitterly, said that the prince took care, and said that this was the last time he would help the prince, and then closed his eyes. After a while, the prince walked out with his hands behind his back, and there was a cry in the house, and Liu Zizhong passed away.

Liu Zhongzhi Zizhong, 19 years of Dading, died!

The bad news came out, and the entire court was sad.

That night, the prince sat alone in the East Palace, thinking about Liu Zizhong's dedication to the East Palace, and couldn't help crying, the prince is a person who wants to be a king, and the king has been a loner since ancient times, and he needs to be ruthless.

All the prince has to do is be ruthless.

When Wu Linda died, the crown prince was already eleven years old, and he clearly remembered those people, the eldest uncle Wang Bo, the third uncle Ma Yutang, the fourth uncle Qiao, the fifth aunt, and the fifth aunt said that they did not have a long life and did not deserve to be kings.

The Ulinda clan was convinced of this, thinking that he was giving birth to a son for Jin Shizong, and before the child was born, they thought that he was the future emperor, and the prince was not convinced, he was only ten years old at that time, and the scheming city was very comparable, he deliberately exposed his whereabouts, and the child died after Yan Xilu, and several brothers and sisters that the Ulinda clan relied on were also torn apart.

Since then, the prince has won the trust of Jin Shizong, and the prince knows that he is the next emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but at this time, Wanyan Xielu actually came back, and Ma Chao is Wanyan Xielu! Jin Shizong loved the Ulinda clan deeply, and the next emperor must be the son of the Ulinda clan, and the crown prince was the only son of the Ulinda clan, and now there is one more.

The prince wanted to deal with Ma Chao, so the prince Liu Zizhong died.
