Chapter Seventy-Five: The Assassin Kills the Driver (Part II)

slashed at the head, with Li Shimin's ability to fight the world immediately, he may be able to dodge; The worst, Fang Xuanling desperately saved the car with his body and blocked a knife......

There are many possibilities, but no one expected that between the lightning and flint, Xie Yi, the son of Huaiyang County, would suddenly stretch out a black stick, a stick with a strange material and strange material.

Cheng Zhijie saw it from a distance, thinking that it was a mechanism to launch weapons, but ...... When I looked closely, nothing came out.

Xie Yi also discovered this embarrassing problem, the electric baton was left for too long, the power was lost and could not be replenished, and the instantaneous high-voltage electricity could not be emitted for a long time, let alone corona.

Oops, I can't save the car, but I take Qingqing's life, it's embarrassing!

But......

Under the gloomy sky, a faint flash of electricity flashed at the tip of the baton, and the assassin's hand holding the knife suddenly trembled.

The assassin's brown eyes moved away from Li Shimin, and he looked at Xie Yi and the black electric baton in surprise, a little surprised and puzzled.

What is it? Coming from the air, why will it make people's arms numb, and there is a feeling of detachment in an instant, and the long knife is almost out of hand.

It was the numbness of this moment, the knife failed to fall, and it was impossible to cut a second knife. Cheng Zhijie flew desperately, and opened the blade with a sword, blocking in front of Li Shimin.

If the assassination wants to succeed, either the weapons are advanced and the force is superior; Or take advantage of the unpreparedness and make a surprise attack.

Unfortunately, the Assassins of this group of Assassins did not possess the former, and the latter also passed over time and ceased to be an advantage.

The assassination just now was done suddenly, and the chaos of the victims was so imminent that the guards were negligent and did not have time to act as the best defense.

There were also some Praetorian Guards stationed in the distance, as well as the officers of the Shaanzhou Assassin's Mansion, who were stopped by the scattered exiles and could not rush to the king's front to escort them at the first moment. So much so that the defense was weak and was almost broken through by the assassins.

At this moment, the victims had scattered and fled, and the officers and soldiers rushed to protect them, and the Assassins had no advantage.

Having lost that opportunity to injure or even kill Li Shimin, their assassination was a complete failure.

The Assassins were determined to assassinate, but they were also extremely sensible, and when they realized that something was wrong, they immediately gave the order to retreat.

In the moment of fright, there is no danger.

Out of caution, Cheng Zhijie did not pursue in a big way, and taking advantage of the darkness and chaos of the night, a large number of Assassins quickly fled into the wilderness. Those who were stopped by the guards or injured also committed suicide by poisoning, and none of them survived.

Dead, the expected result.

"Your Majesty is frightened, the ministers are not effective in protecting him, and he deserves death!" Cheng Zhijie, who has always been very arrogant, was extremely serious at the moment, kneeling down to ask Li Shimin for his guilt.

"It's because I insisted on going my own way, I didn't listen to Qing's words, and I wasn't hurt, why is Qing guilty?" Li Shimin, who is still light and light, does not seem to be angry, and behaves very generously.

Although this is indeed the case, it is really rare for Li Shimin to admit his mistakes happily and not blame Cheng Zhijie.

"Your Majesty, the crime deserves death."

This time it was the assassin of Shaanzhou Shi Cui Zhiwen, the emperor was assassinated in his jurisdiction, whether it was lax governance or negligence, he could not escape the blame.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin didn't get angry, and said leisurely: "Don't be in a hurry to ask for guilt first, arrest the assassin as soon as possible, investigate his identity and the main messenger, and then talk about it!" ”

"Yes, the minister will handle it immediately." Cui Zhiwen trembled and was apprehensive, and quickly left on an errand.

"Xuan Ling, what about the casualties?"

Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, most of the accompanying officials are fine, and more than 20 guards have been killed and injured......

"The injured should be treated as soon as possible, and the deceased will be buried and compensated." Li Shimin commanded, turned to look at Xie Yi, and said curiously: "Xiaoyao, thanks to your escort!" ”

Cheng Zhijie and Fang Xuanling on the side also cast grateful glances, if it weren't for Xie Yi's action, one of them would have been derelict in their duties, and the blame would be inescapable; One is to protect himself, or to be immortal.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is the duty of a minister." Xie Yi replied modestly, it can be described as an accidental move, but it is a rescue work, of course, it can't be missed.

"You don't have to be humble." Li Shimin's eyes fell on the electric baton and asked curiously: "What is this?" What kind of weapon is it? ”

Fang Xuanling was also surprised: "Yes, Xie Xianzi just lifted this object, as if he hadn't seen the weapons intersect, but he could stop the assassin." And its shape, material is special, never seen, really magical. ”

"Your Majesty, this is not a weapon, but a ...... Magic Weapon! Xie Yi groaned slightly, giving a "terrifying" answer.

"Artifact?" Everyone was shocked and seemed to be a little unconvinced.

Xie Yi nodded and said: "That's right, this thing was given by the old immortal Weng who rode the green ox, and the immortal Weng had a demonstration at that time, just by pressing this machine, it can release a power like thunder and lightning, knocking the murderer down and making him faint."

It's just that the magic weapon has been placed for nearly a year, and the mana is lost, but there is no blessing, so the power is not as good as before, and it can only release a weak thunder and lightning power, which can make the assassin's arm numb and temporarily powerless......"

"Really?" The faces of the monarchs and ministers were full of consternation, but they felt that it was too unbelievable.

"The minister is absolutely not false, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find a strong and healthy guard to try it, I believe that there is still a weak mana in the magic weapon." Xie Yi swore an oath and said nonsense with his eyes open.

"Good!" With a wave of Li Shimin's hand, a guard stepped forward, and after experiencing it himself, the description was basically the same as what Xie Yi said.

Only then did everyone be suspicious, and Li Shimin looked at Xie Yi's eyes deep and distant. Originally, he didn't believe in the so-called "old immortal man riding a green ox", thinking that it was just Xie Yi making up words to please him, but at this moment, he ...... His views wavered.

A young man who has never left Chenzhou suddenly offered high-yield and good breeds that Datang did not have, and he also had peerless literary brilliance and superb medical skills.

Li Shimin held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and determined that the shape and material of this object had never been seen before, and it could also release the power of thunder and lightning.

Isn't thunder and lightning divine power in this era?

Could it be that it was really given by the immortals, and what Xie Yi said is true? Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little more subconscious trust in his heart. If that's the case, then Datang ...... Myself...... Xie Yi is a lucky general sent by God to help the Tang Dynasty?

It's obviously unbelievable, but the facts are there, and when they can't be explained by common sense, they can't help but choose to believe it, even if the rhetoric is mysterious.

It was just a moment of mental activity, and Xie Yi's weight in Li Shimin's heart was much heavier.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor, nothing more than that!

"Xiaoyao, can this magic weapon still reproduce divine power?"

Xie Yi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, the mana dissipates and can't be blessed, and it's just a stick in the future." ”

"It is reasonable for mortals to have no immortal mana." Li Shimin sighed lightly, turned to several close ministers around him and said, "What do you think of the assassin?" ”

"This ......," Fang Xuanling shook his head; There is no capture, there are no clues on the deceased, there is no clue for the time being, and it is still necessary to pursue and investigate..."

Xie Yi said leisurely: "The assassin may not be from the Central Plains!" ”

"Why?"

Only then did Chen Shi notice that when he rushed closer, the assassin who was stopped by Chen had brown eyes instead of black...... Like the Hu people of the Western Regions. ”

"Brown, Huren?" Li Shimin's eyes moved, and he turned around and said, "Xuanling ......"

Fang Xuanling said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's too early to draw conclusions, and we still need to investigate in detail." ”

Li Shimin groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, you will preside, Cui Zhiwen will co-organize, see if you can dig up some clues in Shaanzhou." ”

"Obey the order!"

Xie Yi heard it clearly, and when he heard the meaning of Li Shimin's words, he probably already had a suspicion, but he didn't know which one it was? It's true, you Li Er is also an enemy all over the world, and you are so careless when you go out, it's really ...... What do you say?

Xie Xianzi was powerless to vomit on his side, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, a cloud of smoke and dust galloped in, and several guards dismounted not far away and hurriedly rushed to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the imperial camp has been attacked!"

What the? Li Shimin and his courtiers were suddenly shocked, they never expected that at the same time as the emperor was assassinated, the camp was also attacked.

"How's it going? Are my children all right? Li Shimin's expression changed greatly, and he asked anxiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, the father and son of King Wei are safe, and Her Royal Highness King Jin and Princess Jinyang are a little frightened...... Erlang Jun of Hejian County Wangfu was seriously injured, and there was ......"

The guard who reported the news said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Du of the Xie Xianzi family was stabbed in the body in order to protect the King ......of Jin and Princess Jinyang."
