Chapter 121: Assassination (2)
The emperor knocked on the coffee table, and then asked, "He followed?" ”
The emperor's tone was a little strange, and for a while people couldn't understand what he meant.
It's just that Lu Cheng replied tentatively, "Yes, the eldest prince led the people of Jinyi Guard to go together." ”
There was a long silence again.
Chi Chi said, "The eldest brother is a golden and precious person, what if something really happens?" ”
The Emperor glanced up at her, then frowned again, "What is he chasing for?" ”
It seems that he agrees with Chi Chi's words.
Chi Chi knew in his heart that in the emperor's heart, the eldest prince must still have some weight and status. That's why the emperor will have such a question at this time, saying that it is a bit of a blame, but it is better to say that he also remembers the eldest prince in his heart.
After all, the sword has no eyes, and the assassin doesn't know what the situation is, what if he really hurts the eldest prince.
The emperor didn't say it, it was also because he was deeply thoughtful, in the end, he was the emperor, even if he had something in his heart, he would definitely not be able to explain it.
Lu Cheng glanced at the emperor before he said, "The eldest prince ......"
What can he say? The eldest prince wants to invite merit? So when you see an assassin, you chase after you?
The answer the emperor wanted was obviously not this one.
Even if Lu Cheng has served the emperor for many years, it is difficult to speak at this time, and he doesn't know what to say.
Chi Chi said, "I'm afraid that the eldest brother is worried about his father's secret guard." She smiled, "If you can't catch the assassin with your own hands, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will also be uneasy." Fortunately, the Jinyi guards who followed him were all carefully selected talents, and they must be able to protect the safety of the eldest brother. ”
The Emperor nodded, and accepted the answer.
He just frowned slightly, and said to Lu Cheng, "When the eldest prince comes back in a while, I will return to me immediately." ”
Lu Cheng hurriedly responded, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
The emperor just shook his head, just as he wanted to tell Chi Chi to go back to his carriage, when suddenly there was a shout of chaos, "Escort! There are assassins! ”
The Emperor sat up abruptly, "How can there be assassins again!" ”
Wave after wave.
But the most difficult thing is that the people who came this time were obviously much more than the previous batch, but at this time, Jinyiwei had been taken away by the eldest prince to pursue the previous wave of assassins.
Even if there is an east factory guarding the side now, it will inevitably look a little weak.
The emperor's brows furrowed fiercely.
The reason for the weakness was that the curtain of their carriage had been lifted several times, but before they could get close, the Assassin was fended off.
Lu Cheng went down, and there couldn't be too many people in the carriage, otherwise the goal would be even greater.
But whether there are more people or fewer people, this bright yellow seems to tell everyone that this is the place where the emperor is.
The guards seemed to be a little overwhelmed, Ji Jia lifted the curtain and came in, he was half covered in blood, kneeling in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that these people are prepared." ”
The Emperor frowned, "How are you?" ”
"The minions are fine, it's all the blood of thieves. Your Majesty, now you can only be covered by the minions and Cao Tingyue first, their goal is Your Majesty, and they don't think about what they will do to the mother and princess who stay. ”
As for the delay that is in the carriage right now, it must not be thrown down.
At least not yet.
The Emperor nodded slightly, "Okay." I believe in you. ”
Chi Chi found out that the emperor really seemed to believe in Na Ji Jia very much, even in this situation, he said that if he took the emperor alone, the emperor could believe him.
You must know that if Ji Jia is a bad person at this time, then the emperor's life will be gone in an instant.
But he didn't seem to hesitate to say he believed it.
Chi Chi secretly glanced at Ji Jia.
This governor of Dongchang is really capable.
Waiting for the emperor for a long time, the carriage was rushing, she rarely suffered such a time, and her face turned a little pale.
The emperor's face is also not good, but at this time, no one has the time to comfort anyone, there are many soldiers and horses behind, I don't know who has such malice and wants to kill the emperor.
Outside, Ji Jia rode the horse, and Cao Tingyue drove.
All of this is actually in Cao Tingyu's planning, and he still has two points of understanding about this father-in-law.
At this time, it is absolutely impossible to sit still, and taking the emperor with him must be his first choice.
And Ji Jia has always believed in few people, since he is his adopted son, he can also be called one.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Ji Jia just came out like this with him, although the kung fu of the two was already good, especially Ji Jia, who was the top of the top, but the two of them were too few.
Five or six people on the other side are not a problem, if there are ten or twenty people, even Ji Jia will definitely be enough.
Cao Tingyue suddenly figured it out, maybe ......
Perhaps today is indeed a good opportunity.
Not only delayed, but also his.
The carriage was moving faster and faster, and the emperor's face was also blue, but at this critical moment, he would definitely not let Ji Jia stop.
After all, the emperor spares his life, and now it is important to save his life.
Ji Jia glanced at Cao Tingyu and said in a deep voice, "It's important to protect Your Majesty for a while." ”
These words have a deep meaning, and Cao Tingyue lowered his eyebrows and replied.
Ji Jia's meaning is also clear, no matter what happens for a while, the emperor must come first, and as for the others in the carriage, that is, Princess Jinyang, you don't have to take it to heart.
Although Cao Tingyue answered yes, what he thought in his heart, that is, only he knew it.
It's just that Ji Jia has given orders, and it's almost okay to explain.
Of course, these words were not heard by the people in the carriage.
It's just that the people inside or outside the car have their own thoughts and thoughts in their hearts, and the carriage is still galloping.
But in the blink of an eye, I heard the neighing of Arima, thinking that the assassin had caught up with him.
Chi Chi glanced at the emperor's face, and saw that his face was pale, as if he was extremely angry.
If it weren't for the eldest prince taking away so many brocade guards, the emperor would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation at this time.
But I realized for a long time, I was afraid that the eldest prince at this time was still immersed in the joy of his expected meritorious service.
Of course, if there was no follow-up second wave of assassins, if the eldest prince really hunted down the previous assassins, it would indeed be a credit, but he didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches would be behind.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and then Cao Tingyu's voice sounded, "Your Majesty, please don't come out at will." ”
It's a desperate fight.
At this moment, since it is possible to catch up, I am afraid that the people who originally guarded the East Factory have also broken down, so they can catch up.
The emperor's face became more and more bad, but Chi Chi was thinking in his heart, who these people were.
If it is true that she came to assassinate the emperor, then one link after another, it is too smart, but this is not a place to be suspicious, what she suspects is Cao Tingyu's reminder before.
If Cao Tingyue didn't know about these assassins in the first place, then he wouldn't have said those words before.
But if these people really leaked the rumors, and they were such a powerful enemy, the more conservative Cao Ting was, he would also talk to the emperor.
And now that it's in this situation, Chi Chi actually understands a little.
It is impossible for Cao Tingyue not to know anything, at least he knows that there is a team of people in it, which he knew about early on, or directly arranged by him.
But what is the situation of this team now, I don't know for a long time.
The curtain of the carriage was torn off, and the assassin was slashed in the neck by Cao Tingyu.
But it can already be seen that the two of them are already a little unable to resist the siege.
What to do?
Chi vaguely seemed to hear the sound of horses, about to approach, at this time approaching, it could only be reinforcements.
It may be that the eldest prince has already reacted, so he chased after him.
I bit my lip for a long time, it's too late, and I have to send an arrow on the string.
This is her last chance, what is she going to do?
What should I do?
An assassin rushed forward in a desperate manner, and the emperor ducked back, his eyes wide.
The assassin was also wearing a dark night suit during the day, and his face was also covered with a black cloth.
His eyes were cold, and when he looked at Chi Chi and the emperor, it was as if he was already looking at two dead people.
He drew his sword and stabbed at the Emperor.
Ji Jia saw all this from afar, but he was surrounded by four or five people, and there was nothing he could do at all, but his face instantly turned pale, and the movements in his hands were faster, and he was in a hurry to come over to escort him.
But at this time, four or five people finally found Ji Jia's flaw, he was too anxious, so he leaked out, and several people besieged him.
Ji Jia gradually couldn't resist anymore.
And Chi Chi understood at this moment what was the reason why Cao Tingyue wanted her to stay in the emperor's car, or whether she had to accompany the emperor.
And what exactly are you waiting for after waiting for so long?
Just wait for this moment.
She pounced on her like a swallow fluttering in the forest.
In the eyes of the emperor, it was as if there was no hesitation in front of him.
And the assassin's sword was so fast that it had already stabbed Chi Chi in the chest.
"Ahem." He snorted slowly.
He. Damn, that might be too painful.
The sword pierced the skin, and I didn't know how deep it stabbed, and I didn't even dare to breathe hard.
- It's not going to be this time to play yourself in, this sword down, don't really have to explain here.
That's really...... It's really a loss.
Don't say anything else.
Cao Tingyu, who was fighting with the assassins outside, could be seen faintly, and time seemed to slow down.
If nothing else, it's really a loss to die for the emperor.
