Chapter 278: Loyal Minister

Like a thunderclap exploding in her ears, Wan Bingyu's figure flickered, if it weren't for Min Yueyan on her side who quickly helped her, I'm afraid she would have fallen to the ground by now. Wan Bingyu furrowed his brows tightly, and asked the guards who came to report as if he couldn't stand it: "How is General He's injury?" ”

"The subordinates don't know, they only know that General Crane was seriously injured, and now he is in a coma......"

A feeling of dizziness rushed towards Wan Bingyu like a flood beast, and she was a little out of breath, but she still persevered: "Let's go over first." ”

There are two waves of assassins in succession in the hunting grounds, and no one can guarantee that there will be no third wave, so it is better to go back first to ensure your absolute safety.

Min Yue agreed, and helped Wan Bingyu to walk quickly in the direction of the banquet.

On the way, Min Yue asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that those assassins came for the two of us, why is there a second wave of assassins coming towards my father and emperor now, could it be that they planned to do it on both sides from the beginning?" Who gave them that daring? ”

No one could answer Minyue's current question, and the only person who might know the inside story was the assassin who was captured alive, but he was in too much pain, and he had already passed out of his coma, and it would take some means to get something out of his mouth.

Wan Bingyu glanced at the assassin who was being dragged away with a complicated expression, and there were a little more doubts in his heart.

In previous years, there had never been such an assassination incident in the Ganlu Palace, and it was said that because the hunting ground was very tightly staffed, and there were many natural barriers around the hunting ground, why were the assassins able to cross the barrier and appear in front of them, and they could also shoot at the emperor in front of the courtiers? Could it be that there was an internal response in the team and the assassins were quietly let in?

The more Wan Bingyu thought about it, the more chilled he felt.

Who would dare to attack the king in full view of everyone?

The change occurred in the blink of an eye, when an official stepped forward with a fine wine, as if to pour wine for the emperor, and the emperor turned his head to talk to his courtiers, not noticing that the chamberlain was a fresh face.

But Crane Nianbing noticed.

Since last night when Wan Bingyu told him that there would be an assassination incident against the emperor today, He Nianbing began to observe the emperor's inner servants intentionally or unintentionally, and he remembered almost every face, but he had never seen this little internal official who came up with wine, could he be the assassin who was going to do it today?

He Nianbing thought as his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, as a general, he was allowed to bring a sword to guard.

"General Crane!" The emperor didn't know what was going on, but suddenly remembered the general, turned his face to him and asked with a smile, "This wine is a tribute from the Pingyu Kingdom over there, and I heard that most of your generals like to drink, so I will give you this wine." ”

The king's reward is grateful, whether it is valuable or not, and whether the person who gives it likes it or not.

So Crane Nianbing knelt on the ground and thanked him.

It was at this time that the attendant, who looked very respectful with his face lowered, suddenly became troubled.

He took out a thin, but sharp-looking dagger from under the tray and stabbed it directly at the Emperor.

The emperor didn't expect that someone would do it to him in full view of everyone, under the protection of many guards, so people were stunned for a moment, and at this time, the assassin with the knife had already pounced on him.

The chamberlain beside the emperor screamed: "Escort escort!" ”

Prince Li Gaozhan's people immediately rushed forward, but not to protect the emperor, but to protect in front of their master, Li Wenyao did not understand martial arts, so he could only twist his brows and throw everything that could be reached by the assassins, not to mention the other princes, most of them went to the hunting ground, and they were hunting at this time, and they didn't expect the emperor to be assassinated at all.

Many civil officials don't know martial arts, so they can only be in a hurry.

At this moment, He Nianbing stepped forward.

He drew his sword from his waist and thuded the Assassin's onslaught.

The emperor's face turned pale with fright: "General Crane." ”

"Your Majesty, go away!" He Nianbing deliberately pretended to be physically weak and couldn't do his best.

Others couldn't tell whether He Nianbing had used all his strength, but the assassin, as the person concerned, could naturally feel it, especially when the sword in his hand was almost about to touch the emperor, and when he was just blocked by He Nianbing's long sword, he understood that the general in front of him was not actually unable to beat him, but he didn't use all his strength at all, and this feeling of being teased as a mouse made him very crazy.

If you can't kill the emperor in a short time, I'm afraid those janissaries will rush up and take him down!

The feeling of being trapped made the Assassin start to fight with all his might.

I saw that he flexibly dodged He Nianbing's blow, and took advantage of the gap between He Nianbing's next move and pounced directly in the direction of the emperor.

The voice of the sharp assassin of the internal official sounded again: "Escort, escort!" ”

He Nianbing didn't have time to think about it, since the sword in his hand couldn't block the assassin's attack, then use his body to block it, at that moment, he suddenly remembered Wan Bingyu's face, this is also a matter of no way, Madame's side should be understandable......

The short knife in the assassin's hand swooped and stabbed directly into Crane Nianbing's chest.

The Emperor's eyes widened as blood splattered out and spilled onto the Emperor's face.

"Tsuru General ......"

He Nianbing gritted his teeth, only to feel a feeling of dizziness coming, and at this moment, the guards responsible for guarding the emperor's safety also rushed up, watching them step forward to block the assassin's retreat, and the emperor was also protected by the leader of the guards, after making sure that there would be no more danger, He Nianbing breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, the assassin knew that he had absolutely no way to escape after being surrounded by the guards, so he did not struggle again.

His gaze glared at the Emperor like two long swords.

In fact, he didn't think of this ending, he should have the consciousness of death from the time he took over this single task, but when it came to death, he felt a little unwilling.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.

The Emperor made up his mind, and under the strict protection of the many guards, he frowned and asked the assassin, "Who sent you?" If you tell me who is behind this, maybe I can spare your life! ”

"Hehe, since I dare to come, I am not afraid of death!" The assassin snorted and sneered, "A dog emperor like you who plots to kill important ministers will be punished by everyone in the world, so why should anyone send me?" I can't stab you today, someone will come tomorrow! Dog Emperor, sooner or later you will die by the sword! ”

"Bold!" The Emperor shouted angrily, "What are you still doing in a daze, take down the assassin!" ”

The assassin trembled as if he was in pain, and he twisted his face and slowly fell backwards.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard cautiously stepped forward to inspect the other party's situation, and found that the assassin was bleeding and hideous, obviously taking poison and committing suicide!
