Luckily, before the Assassin could let go, a cold, biting dagger had crept into his back. A large handful of fiery red blood gushed out.

Hearing the sound of weapons entering his body and moaning in pain behind him, Ran turned his head one by one, shocked and shocked. Suddenly, the fiery red blood and the heavy smell of blood made her stomach tumble into the sea. She felt sick and scared.

She almost died.

The assassin looked back in disbelief at Xu Ziyi, who had caught up again. He killed himself with one move. His eyes, like an endless ice cave on a cold day, can shake people's hearts. This is the cold-blooded and ruthless that a killer should have.

"Say, who sent you?" Xu Ziyi pinched his neck, and the strength in his hand deepened inch by inch, "Say, this king can spare your life." ”

However, the assassin was stubborn and refused to speak until he died, and finally bit his tongue and committed suicide. Xu Ziyi shook him off in annoyance, walked straight to the dull-eyed Ran Yiyi, and asked, "Why are you here?" Are you hurt? ”

Ran Yi was shocked one by one, and tears filled the corners of his eyes. I don't know what I thought of, but I let out a "wow" and cried.

。。。。。

Xu Ziyi sighed invisibly, took out a brocade handkerchief from his chest, and handed it to her.

"Don't cry."

"Wow......"

Ran Yi was unceremonious, grabbed Xu Ziyi's Jinpa and wiped it violently, and snot and tears came out. Xu Ziyi watched the Jinpa, which he regarded as a treasure, being destroyed, and his heart was so distressed that he was dripping blood, and he said fiercely: "Don't cry!" If you cry again, the king will throw you into the moat!" ”

Ran Yi immediately stopped crying when he heard this. The reason is simple, she's a landlubber.

If there is still a sound of sobbing, Ran Yiyi looks pitiful after crying. Xu Ziyi was also a little unbearable. After all, she is a weak little girl, and she has just experienced a life-and-death battle, so she shouldn't be so harsh.

"Alright. Today's mistake is the king. If you had known that there would be an accident, this king would definitely not let you come to Taotao Village to take risks. ”

Ran Yi choked up one by one and said, "That's it!" Who...... Who let you, insist on ...... Take me to ...... This...... Here's ......"

Xu Ziyi was helpless, so he could only continue: "I'm sorry." ”

Hearing this, Mo Wen and Mo A couldn't help but jump out. When did their Highness become the master who would bow his head and admit his mistakes?!

"Your Highness, your subordinates have searched the neighborhood and found no remnants of the assassins."

"Hmm. If the protector is not effective, he will be punished when he goes back. Xu Ziyi's words were not directed at Mo Qian, but at Mo Yiyi, who was now being ordered to protect Ran Yiyi.

Don't ask or answer, I was shocked in my heart. It turned out that Ran Yiyi's weight in His Royal Highness's heart was already extraordinary.

Ran Yi didn't know what to do, and silently wiped away his tears. I wanted to throw the handkerchief back to Xu Ziyi directly, but in view of the fact that the Jinpa looked too ...... Appalling...... She had no choice but to put it away herself, planning to wash it up and return it to him next time.

"Can you still go?"

Ran Yiyi shook her head one by one, her legs are weak now, where can she still have the strength to walk.

Xu Ziyi squatted down and said, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

"Your Highness! Never! Let's let the subordinates come down! ”

"Yes, Your Highness, we ......"

Mo asked the rest of the words, and was forced back by Xu Ziyi's fierce eyes. Mo Wen only felt cold hands and feet, but he was also quite aggrieved. He didn't do anything wrong! His Royal Highness is the regent of Qingxu who is above 10,000 people under one person, how can he do such a thing as betraying people at will? It's really ...... It's unseemly!

"Thank you."

Ran Yi fell on his stomach one by one. When you're really tired, you shouldn't be reckless.

On the way back to the city, the two looked at each other without saying a word. Xu Ziyi sent Ran Yi back to the Ji Mansion one by one. Ji Zhen hasn't come back yet. Ran Yiyi asked Aunt Guo to make a little porridge, drank it and fell asleep, dreamless all night.

Here Ran slept soundly one by one, but Xu Ziyi was busy tracking down today's assassin in the middle of the night. He must find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise Ran Yiyi will still be in danger.

"Don't answer, these days, you have to follow Ran one by one. She must not be allowed to have an accident. If not, you are the only one who asks. ”

"Yes."

Although Mo A didn't understand Xu Ziyi's attitude towards Ran Yiyi, just because of his loyalty to Xu Ziyi, he would risk his life to protect her.

"Don't ask, you go along Cui Dakang's line to check and see if you can find some clues about today's assassins."

At first, Xu Ziyi thought that today's assassin was Ji Zhen's enemy, and if he couldn't catch Ji Zhen, he would make fun of Ran Yi and a little girl. But after thinking about it, Ran Yiyi had just convicted Cui Dakang a few days ago because of Ji Zhen's imprisonment......

"The subordinates receive the order. Your Highness, there is one more little thing. ”

Xu Ziyi rubbed his slightly tired head and motioned for Mo Wen to continue.

"Ji Zhen of Ji Mansion, he has been haunted these days, and he has not been in the mansion for most of the time. Strangely, our people did not find the slightest trace of him. His subordinates guessed that it was not impossible for Doctor Ji to travel all over the world and save lives and help the wounded. ”

"Huh."

Xu Ziyi's voice was cold and intimidating: "It is possible for any doctor in this world to see a doctor and make good connections, but it is impossible for him Ji Zhen." ”

"Subordinates are stupid."

"You're stupid."

Xu Ziyi paused for a while, and then said, "He is the person who doesn't like trouble the most. When have you ever seen him meddling? ”

"But he ...... to Miss Ran"

Halfway through the words, Mo Wen didn't dare to say it. He thought to himself, His Royal Highness and Ji Zhen are almost the same. Originally, they were all people who had nothing to do with themselves and were wise enough to protect themselves. But now, for the sake of a Ran Yiyi, everything has changed, and everything can be done. is as indifferent as His Royal Highness, and they all begin to have a human touch.

"How's the Assassin on the Buddha Rite?"

"There are still no clues from the Qingning Mansion."

Xu Ziyi sneered and said, "Jing Zhaoyin of Qingning Mansion must be in a hurry now, right?" Although the emperor's temper is not bad, at the moment, he wants to support He Kun on the throne...... I'm afraid this matter won't be good. ”

"What is Your Highness going to do about it?"

"Push the boat with the current. Let's help Jing Zhaoyin. There will be a place for him in the future. ”

Xu Ziyi also puts interests first. He suddenly remembered what Ran Yiyi said today, "Well, it's better to have more and the better", and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. After meeting Ran Yiyi, his smile obviously increased, and it seemed that there was no longer only a cold sneer, but also a little warmth.

"When you send out the news, you will say that this king has been assassinated on the outskirts of the city today. The Assassin was very similar to the Assassin in the Buddhist scriptures of that day, and was probably a fellow traveler. The matter of the Assassins is left to the king. As for Qingning Mansion...... Just help from the side. ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

After the news was released by the Regent Palace, there was a lot of discussion in Xijing City. Everyone was curious about the daring Assassin. Not only did they dare to use the Buddhist scriptures, but they could also assassinate the regent with a backhand. It's really not an ordinary fat.

"Uncle Huang, I heard that you were assassinated, I wonder if you were injured?"

In the imperial study, Xu Ziling carefully inquired about Xu Ziyi's recent situation, looking quite worried.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your care, the minister is fine."

"That's good. Did Uncle Huang see the true face of the assassin? What's the clue? ”

Xu Ziyi raised his eyes, and his voice was as cold and calm as ever: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister was assassinated this time and took off the veil of an assassin." The minister even vaguely remembered where he seemed to have seen him......"

"Oh? Where and who? ”

Everyone knows that Xu Ziyi has the ability to never forget. If he says it's familiar, it means that he must have seen it somewhere.

"The minister does not dare to speculate."

Xu Ziling stood up anxiously and said, "Uncle Huang! When has this been? The assassin case is about the safety of you and the country. I am anxious every day, and if you know the identity of the Assassin, I will find out! Keeping you safe! ”

"Cui Mansion." Xu Ziyi replied with an unchanged face, "Your Majesty, the minister has seen this person in the Cui Mansion. ”

"Cui Mansion? You mean the Assassins...... Is it the person of Cui Dakang, the secretary of the military department? ”

"Exactly."

"This ......"

Xu Ziling didn't expect that it would be Cui Dakang.

"What are the plans of Uncle Huang?"

"Strip off your official position and go to prison."

Xu Ziling was shocked in his heart and said, "Uncle Huang, is this too serious?" If Cui Dakang is taken into custody and imprisoned before the matter is investigated, I am worried ......"

"Your Majesty! Qingxu is enough to rule the country by law, which is enough to determine the world. If the Son of Heaven violates the law, he will be punished with the same crime as the common people. Cui Dakang is just a first-class and second-grade soldier book, how can he be an exception? I also hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to etiquette and law, think twice before acting, and set an example for the world. Xu Ziyi said, bent down and saluted respectfully.

"Uncle Huang said very much. It's my fault. I should not ignore the law. Now that Uncle Huang has found out the reason, Cui Dakang ...... Leave it to Uncle Huang's sole discretion! Now that the matter is clear, I can appease the prince. ”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful. Minister, it's just a matter of facts. ”

Xu Ziling specifically mentioned He Kun in order to know Xu Ziyi's attitude towards He Kun's return to the dynasty. But Xu Ziyi didn't give the answer he wanted.

"Uncle Huang, the Qingluan Hall has been vacant for a long time, and I have been thinking about the future for the past few days. I don't know ...... Uncle Huang"

"Your Majesty, it comes down to your private affairs. As courtiers, we only have to obey the commands. After standing or not, who will be the queen, as long as it does not endanger the country and society of Qingxu, it is all up to His Majesty to decide. ”

"Uncle Huang, I still remember that the emperor once said, in fact, you are more suitable to be a king."

Xu Ziling looked directly at Xu Ziyi, and he didn't know whether it was temptation or ridicule. Xu Ziyi and Xu Ziling looked at each other, but there was only calmness and righteousness in their eyes.

"Your Majesty is not going to make fun of your ministers. The minister can't afford such a head-losing joke. ”

"Hahaha......" Xu Ziling suddenly laughed, "Uncle Huang, don't be so serious!" I can't even make a joke. Look at you, you're twenty-one, and you haven't married a wife or a concubine yet! When the emperor was so old, I was already three years old! ”

"The matter of marriage cannot be forced. If Your Majesty has nothing important, the minister will retire first. ”

"Okay."

Xu Ziling looked at Xu Ziling's departing back, and his smile gradually converged. The imperial uncle, whom he admired since childhood, has become stronger and stronger. It's even so strong that it scares him.
