In the city of Qingzhou.

A very remote courtyard.

"Childe."

"Oh no, something big is wrong."

Xiaoluo pushed the door directly in, and said to him with a nervous face.

"What happened?"

Su Li put down the book in his hand and asked him with a little doubt. Xiaoluo is usually quite calm, and it is certainly not a trivial matter to be able to make him lose his temper like this.

"Childe."

"All the gates of Qingzhou City have been closed. Every street in the city has been taken over by the city defense army and placed under martial law. All the officials of the Qingzhou Prefecture were dispatched and were conducting a close search from house to house. ”

"What happened? I don't know yet. ”

"Childe, you said they wouldn't be hunting me, right?"

Xiao Luo stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, asking him with some uncertainty.

"No, you don't have that much weight yet."

Su Li frowned slightly and began to think seriously. Such a scene made him feel a little familiar. The last time the nine gates of Qingzhou City were closed, it was because of the difficulty of the Dingguo Mansion.

Don't?

Startled, Su Li suddenly got up.

"Xiaoluo, let's go and investigate carefully."

"Be careful not to be spotted on your tracks."

After pondering for a moment, Su Li spoke to him and commanded.

"Yes, I'll go."

"Don't worry, Childe."

Hearing this, Xiaoluo turned around and hurried away.

"It's really stormy!"

Su Li couldn't help but let out a sigh.

*

Yesterday, at midnight.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Now you are the master of the East Palace, but you spend every day drinking and drinking, and you don't want to make progress at all."

"If you continue to do this, the slave can only report to the queen."

In the luxurious carriage, July looked at the drunken prince Su Zhe, and said to him with a frown.

"Returning to the mother?"

"What do you think you are?"

"You're just a that the Queen Mother gave me. How? Want to turn around and bite the owner? ”

Hearing this, Su Zhe raised his eyebrows and asked her. The insult between the words is not polite at all.

"You."

July frowned, furious. I can't wait to slap him. This prince is really hopeless.

"Hey."

July was very helpless. Since following him, I have persuaded him several times, but he still goes his own way.

The mud can't hold up the wall, that's it.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Several cold arrows suddenly struck, piercing the carriage.

"Huh?"

"Bell, bell."

Sensing danger for the first time, July hurriedly waved the sword in his hand and swept down several flying arrows. But there was still an arrow that didn't have time to stop it, and went straight to the body of the crown prince Su Zhe.

"Ahh

Prince Su Zhe was suddenly hit by an arrow, and the severe pain made his somewhat drowsy head wake up instantly.

"July, help me."

"Someone is trying to kill me."

Su Zhe hurriedly leaned over to her and reached out to grab Qiyue's arm.

"What a piece of rubbish."

July didn't say anything to him, picked up the sword in his hand and quickly jumped out of the carriage.

Several of the accompanying guards had quickly approached, their knives in their hands and staring at the darkness with caution.

It's dark and you can't see anything.

There was only an eerie silence.

This street was far away from the patrol soldiers in the city, and it was clear that the Assassins had been carefully deployed and the timing was extremely accurate.

July drew the sword in his hand, his brow furrowed.

Tonight, I'm afraid it's hard to get out of it.

"Boom."

More than two dozen assassins appeared in the darkness, their long silver knives dazzling. Everyone who came was dressed in black and black-faced, and I don't know what their identities were.

"Who's coming?"

"The assassination should be directed at His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is a crime of beheading."

Looking at so many black-clothed people in front of him, July raised his eyebrows and asked.

“......”

There was silence, and no one answered.

Who is coming? Why did you want to assassinate the crown prince Su Zhe?

The Three Princes? Probably not.

He didn't have the guts yet. What's more, he's not stupid. The position of Prince Su Zhe can be distinguished by anyone with a discerning eye, and I am afraid that he will not be able to sit for too long. Why gamble?

If it weren't him, who would it be?

"Whoosh."

Without giving her a few breaths to think, the long knife in the man in black was already rapidly attacking her. Everyone who comes is a master, and his skills are not inferior to the secret guards in the palace.

July fought hard, but he was only able to block a few people. The other black-clothed men quickly passed her and headed straight for the carriage of the crown prince Su Zhe, and their purpose of assassination was very clear.

Next to the carriage, several guards fell backwards after a single move. They are not on the same level as the men in black at all.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"This palace is the prince of Great Qi."

The crown prince Su Zhe leaned on the inside of the carriage, frightened and panicked. His thighs were already damp.

"Huh."

The long knife in the black-clothed man's hand flung inward with all his might, without any mud and water. The cold light came in an instant, and the long knife was inserted into Su Zhe's chest.

"Ugh."

Su Zhe's eyes widened in disbelief. It's just that at this time he can't make a sound anymore.

"Bell."

July swept away the long knife and looked towards the carriage. I saw that there was already a pool of blood.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Huh."

All the men in black gathered around, obviously not intending to leave any one alive.

"Who are you?"

"Can you let me die?"

July asked loudly with a little unwillingness.

Still no one answered.

There were still several long knives that shone through the cold.

A few breaths later, July also fell.

"Withdraw."

"Boom."

The man in black quickly evacuated the place as if it had never appeared.

The long street, once again quiet.

*

In the temple of nourishing the heart, the candles are bright.

Yang Shen, the Overseer of the Dark Guard, knelt on the ground, trembling.

It's really the sky falling.

He didn't dare to look up, he didn't dare to say anything.

"I see."

Gently putting down the secret fold in his hand, Emperor Jingde's face was very calm, and he couldn't see the slightest joy or anger.

"Check."

Although he only said one word, it was full of chills.

"Wechen obeys."

Yang Shen got up and hurriedly retreated. He didn't want to stay here for a moment, it was too depressing.

"Holy."

Debao cautiously opened his mouth tentatively.

"You go down first."

"I want to be alone here."

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Jingde's eyes, and he interrupted him with words.

"Yes."

"The slave and maid are gone."

The candle flame danced slightly.

Emperor Jingdedi closed his eyes tightly and leaned back on the dragon chair.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

*

"Childe."

"Prince Su Zhe, was assassinated at midnight yesterday."

"Killed on the spot."

Xiao Luo returned again and whispered to him.

"What did you say?"

Su Li stood up suddenly, a little incredulous.

How is it possible, this is the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom. When the crown prince was assassinated and died, who had the guts?

"Whew."

This seems to be the second time.

Qingzhou City is really undefended to the outside world.

Could it be that the assassination of the prince and the death of his teacher were committed by the same group?

Prince Su Zhe, a person who does not learn and has no skills. Why is it treated? Su Li was puzzled.

In the city of Qingzhou.

The wind is loud, and the people are panicking.
