Chapter 299: Deadly Assassin
The news of Helian Rong and Rong Che meeting for a competition has not spread, after all, it is a private competition, even if someone knows, and Rong Che has already responded, no one dares to say anything in the end.
Ji Yanning couldn't even hear the news of the Wei delegation's coming, so naturally he wouldn't know about the competition between Rong Che and Helian Rong.
She was now thinking about how to make Beigong Chen dissipate.
From morning to afternoon, she went to see Beigong Chen several times, but he turned her away, and she couldn't even see anyone, so she could only come back in disgust.
Now sitting on the swing in the courtyard, I was thinking about how I could see Beigong Chen first.
If she used her physical discomfort as an excuse, Beigong Chen might come to see her, but it was very likely that she would be even more angry, after all, she was lying to him again.
Princess Changning received the emperor's cold reception, which surprised many people in the palace, but more people were happy.
Mama Lan took the snack and put it on the stone table next to her, and said: "Your Highness is not in a hurry, when the emperor is angry, he will naturally see you again, not to mention that the emperor is busy with government affairs now, Xu really can't get out, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
Ji Yanning pursed his lips and did not answer.
She couldn't wait long, because she really wanted to go back to Dawei.
In addition to Lindu, there are many places she has to go, the future is bumpy, and she doesn't know where she can go.
Fallen leaves fell in her hair, and she didn't even notice it.
If Beigongchen doesn't see her again tomorrow, she will decide to use the most effective way to make a mistake, which is to kneel in front of the main hall and wait to see her, and he can't afford to kneel if he doesn't see her.
Ji Yanning looked down at his knees and sighed lightly.
There is no way, she was the one who wanted to kill Beigong Chen in the first place, and she was the one who really did it, if she couldn't ask for his forgiveness, she really had some trouble with her conscience.
She snorted lightly, it was so difficult to serve as an emperor.
The night gradually sank, Beigong Han sat in the small pavilion in the prince's mansion, looked at the small lake in the garden, and remembered the scene when he saw Ji Yanning not dead that day, he was indeed very excited and happy.
He felt guilty for a long time, and he was sad in his heart for a long time, and when he saw Ji Yanning again, he didn't expect her to become his "sister".
Thinking back to the past, my mind is full of that stubborn and intelligent little girl, and her eyes are always filled with hope that will always be calm.
He smiled wryly and drank another glass of wine.
If she is willing to accept herself, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will try to protect her, but they have always stood on opposite sides, how can she like herself?
He reached out and took the flask, filling his glass with wine, when suddenly he heard what seemed to be the slightest strange sound around him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and quietly observed his surroundings with his peripheral vision.
All the year round, he has long practiced the ability to be vigilant, even if his martial arts are high, he will find some clues.
There are quite a few people who came this time, and they all seem to be masters.
Beigong Han raised his wine glass, and was about to drink another glass, when suddenly a sword light flashed in front of him, his eyes sank, and he quickly threw the wine glass in his hand, right on the hilt of the masked man in black!
At the same time he jumped straight up from the stool and landed on the railing beside him.
Yuan Wu saw Beigong Han, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he slashed towards Beigong Han with a swing of his sword.
And beside him, there are more than a dozen black-clothed people with strong martial arts.
These people were all Ji Yanning's guards!
Seeing this scene, Beigong Han's guards drew their swords and wanted to fight them, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Someone!
This sound alarmed all the guards outside, and some people ran to send a message to the guards, and all the guards who were nearby flocked over.
Yuan Wu stabbed forward with a sword, and was about to take Beigong Han's life, but a guard from the side stepped forward to catch his sword and began to fight with him.
Beigong Han dodged Yuan Wu's attack, but he was still surrounded by more than a dozen black-clothed people, and he was about to dodge the attack, but the sharp sword stabbed from his back came straight to his heart, clearly wanting to take his life!
The pain in his arm made him, who was already a little drunk, gradually become more sober.
Yuan Wu punched the guard's body, and wiped his neck with a backhand sword!
Then he stared at Beigong Han again.
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Kill the Assassin!"
A lot of guards poured in from outside, and Yuan Wu and them were scuffling together.
Yuan Wu immediately made a decision and stabbed directly at Beigong Han, Beigong Han took the sword of a guard and directly blocked Yuan Wu's attack, but Yuan Wu's strength was greater than his, this sword was cut down, but Beigong Han was a little unable to catch it!
Seeing that the tip of Yuan Wu's sword was about to be close to his neck, Beigong Han gritted his teeth and pushed it and quickly withdrew.
The surrounding guards stepped forward and surrounded Beigong Han behind him, Yuan Wu was full of anger, stepped forward with his sword, his eyes did not blink, and directly wiped the necks of the two guards in front, and then inserted the bloodstained sword in his hand into the abdomen of the other guard.
Beigong Han looked at these black-clothed killers in front of him, these martial arts were extremely high, and he was not their opponent at all.
But to have so many killers with strong martial arts, I'm afraid that his brothers may not be able to kill themselves blatantly with such blood.
And the killer at the head, his style seems to be a little familiar.
He used his sword to fend off the killer's attack, resisting and retreating again and again, and not long after, a group of guards came from outside the garden.
There are hundreds of soldiers in his house, and if you want to deal with these killers, you can't do it.
Yuan Wu looked at and heard the footsteps outside, and ordered: "Withdraw!"
With his order, the other dozen or so black-clothed people gradually retreated, and after a while, they had disappeared into the prince's mansion.
"Your Highness!" the guards outside hurriedly arrived, stepped forward to Beigong Han's side, saw several wounds on his body, and said, "It's too late!
Beigong Han said: "That's it, you can't catch up." ”
There were many casualties lying in the garden, and in less than a quarter of an hour just now, such a tragic fight took place, which shows that those assassins are fierce.
Beigong Han said: "Order, in the future, the palace will strengthen inspections, and let the yamen strengthen patrols in the capital." ”
"Yes!" the guard replied.
Two guards stepped forward and helped Beigong Han back to the courtyard.
Early the next morning, the news of the assassination of the second prince spread.
Beigong Chen was also a little angry, assassinating the prince, and not even one of them could be caught, it was too rampant.
However, there are some humanitarians, not long after the Wei envoy arrived in Lindu, the second prince was assassinated, maybe this matter has something to do with the Wei people.
Some people also said that maybe the other princes didn't like the second prince, and took advantage of the emperor's busy political affairs now that they wanted to secretly get rid of Beigong Han.
But without evidence, no amount of speculation can only be speculation.
Helian Rong came to the prince's mansion early in the morning, and when he saw that Beigong Han was injured, he was both surprised and angry: "Who did this?"
Beigong Han's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head: "I don't know, those assassins are all strong in martial arts, but none of the people in my mansion have been able to catch them." ”
"If they come prepared, they will have a way to retreat. Helian Rong said, "If I catch the person behind this scene, I have to give him eight pieces!"
Beigong Han was still thinking about the black-clothed man led by yesterday, and he seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Helian Rong said: "Your Highness, rest well, I will come to see you again in the afternoon, and bring you good news by the way." ”
Beigong Han raised his eyes and looked at him: "What good news is so mysterious?"
"It's to teach King Xuan of Great Wei a lesson, and let him kowtow to my father and apologize!" Helian Rong said confidently.
Beigong Han has been thinking about Ji Yanning for the past two days, but he hasn't heard the news of Helian Rong and Rong Che's competition, so when he heard him like this, he frowned: "Teach King Xuan a lesson?"
Helian Rong said: "I made a bet with Rong Che two days ago, and it was about today, but unfortunately His Highness was injured, otherwise I can take a look." ”
"You fool!" When Beigong Han heard Helian Rong say this, he immediately reprimanded, "That King Xuan looks easy to deal with, but he is not a person to be messed with, your father has been planted in his hands, how sure can you win him!"
Seeing Beigong Han reprimanding himself like this, Helian Rong explained: "Your Highness, no matter how powerful Rong Che is, he can't match Heituo's medicinal power. ”
Beigong Han still frowned.
Helian Rong is going to drug Rong Che, this Heituo is a poison unique to their Yan Kingdom, the toxicity is very low, it can't be checked out when put into the meal, after taking it, it will look like an ordinary person, once you need to use force or use force, it will become powerless and can't hurt your life.
He naturally knew that Rong Che's martial arts were not low, and he was also a person with brains, but if he wanted to win, he naturally had to think of a way.
Although Helian Rong felt that his layout was seamless, Beigong Han still felt a little uneasy.
Although Beigong Han persuaded Helian Rong, Helian Rong still insisted on competing with Rong Che, Beigong Han was helpless, just asked him to pay attention to safety, and let him leave not long after.
After Helian Rong left, Beigong Han's mind was still thinking about Rong Che, and suddenly he suddenly remembered a vague figure, and his whole eyes suddenly lit up!
He finally knew why the assassin led by last night was so familiar, it was because he had often seen that guard by Ji Yanning's side before!
It is the person next to Ji Yanning.
But now that Ji Yanning is in the palace, he shouldn't be able to contact them.
So these Assassins came to Lindu with the envoys?
They came to Lindu without knowing that Ji Yanning was still alive, in order to ...... Was it to assassinate him?
Beigong Han finally understood that Ji Yanning's guards should have come to him for revenge, because when Ji Yanning fell off the Luan River, his guards were also there.
In addition to themselves, the target of these assassins ...... And Helian Rong!
