Chapter 55: The Assassins
"Oh?" Su Yucheng frowned, and some looked down on these people. There are many excuses for fear of death.
The general was anxious to prove to himself, and he told Su Yucheng the deeds of the three princes of northern Xinjiang in the final battle in a few words, and Su Yucheng was dumbfounded when he heard it, and finally smiled dumbly, "Fake, right?"
All the soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Su Yucheng muttered and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go back to Beijing after looking around for a few days." The people of northern Xinjiang are so terrible, he crossed the river for fear of dying early. ”
The soldiers were relieved and shouted the wisdom of the Seven Princes.
Su Yucheng was depressed, and he got up and was about to walk outside the tent, saying that he was patrolling. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, there was a neighing of horses outside the tent, followed by a bunch of broken steps, and a dusty soldier lifted the tent and entered the camp.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Yucheng bypassing the military case and confirming his identity, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down, looking panicked, and took out a yellowed letter from his chest, and said, "Seventh prince!
When Su Yucheng saw the seal of the Holy Emperor stamped on the envelope, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly picked up the letter and opened it to see that all the soldiers looked awe-inspiring, and they were all guessing what they said in their hearts.
Su Yucheng's face became more and more ugly when he read the letter, and at the end, he rubbed the letter paper, "Okay, we are working hard here to catch people, but some people want to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind, phew! Pass my order, the three armies will pull out the camp and return to Beijing on the same day!"
The soldiers were stunned at first, and then they came back to their senses from the good news of returning to Beijing and hurriedly responded to the order.
After the people left, only Su Yucheng and his close guard Xia Zetao were left in the tent. Xia Zetao vigilantly swept around the camp tent, but there was no dark shadow, so he asked, "Master, but there has been a change?"
Su Yucheng's face was ugly, "Concubine Xian, that slut, has been colluding with their clansmen recently, and the fourth brother suspects that they are going to rebel and seize the throne, so he asked His Royal Highness to return to the palace to support him quickly." ”
"Concubine Xian, she ......," Xia Zetao frowned.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my father hadn't died, I would have let her go to the funeral a long time ago, how could there be so many things. Su Yucheng didn't like Concubine Xian since he was a child, because he guessed that the reason why his biological mother, Concubine Xiaohui, gave birth to him and died in childbirth was because Concubine Xian was a hindrance.
Of course, others don't believe it. But he never wanted to believe that he had killed his mother.
"Then go back to the palace now, if you force Concubine Xian to be in a hurry......"
"Afraid of her, a woman, in the palace, heh, trying to kill her is as easy as pinching an ant to death. No matter how bad it is, the big ones can't be subdued, and the small ones can't be done?" a sinister smile crossed Su Yucheng's face.
Xia Zetao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
Su Yucheng said: "Without the small one, even if she has great ability, she can't make a fuss, unless she can be the empress...... Hahaha, is it possible?"
"The Seventh Master is wise. ”

Suoni was resting on the chair covered with tiger skins and closing his eyes, but when he heard Ma Jing say something, he stood up suddenly, stretched out a withered right hand, and stared at a pair of eyes full of incredulity, "What did you say?"
Ma Jing was stunned and didn't react.
"You say...... Has the King of Freedom gone to the Great Heaven?" asked Suoni, narrowing his eyes.
Ma Jing nodded.
"Heh, what is he doing in the big heavens? where did you hear this news?"
Ma Jing immediately knelt down and clenched his fists, "Old man, you don't know anything. King Xiaoyao is certainly in love with his family, but he seems to like the crown prince - the son of Emperor Mo, and I also heard it from the chatting between the housekeeper and the subordinates of the Xiaoyao Palace. They read the letter written by the crown prince's subordinates to King Xiaoyao, and the relationship between the two is estimated to be inseparable. They said that the King of Joy had disappeared after reading the letter. ”
Sueni looked at Ma Jing in disbelief, "Really?"
Ma Jing hesitated, "It's also eavesdropping, I don't know if it's true." But our people have not seen the King of Joy in the North. ”
"Could it be true...... "Soni looked at the beams. A belly full of intrigue is brewing.
"Alright, you go down. Staring at the situation in the Northern Forbidden City, the plan may be advanced at any time. Suoni smiled gloomily, and Ma Jing took the order and retired with a blank face.
All he wanted to know now was if the Wound Maniac had managed to leave the Northland, and if Ji Kang was in greater danger waiting for him. If he could, he would like to go to Ji Kang to accompany the injury maniac and tell him that he is the one who is suitable for him.

Wounded and Yi Lao went all the way south, and finally arrived at the gathering place of the warships, and with their rapid speed, they stole two military uniforms from the army and changed them to Yi Lao and himself in case of accidents.
That night, the two quietly sneaked into the place where the warship was stored, because it was the time to change patrols the team the day after tomorrow, so now the soldiers have not returned, the ship is unguarded, only there is a sentry post on the side of the port, there is a patrol team walking back and forth on the shore, but it is also careless, after all, there has been no change here for many years.
Seeing the soldiers' casual steps and wandering eyes, the madman couldn't help frowning, "Born in sorrow, died in peace." Such an army, if Ji Kang's army can land, it will definitely be defeated!"
Yi Lao nodded, "The Jikang border has been harassed all year round, and our army must be brave and good at fighting. It is indeed more than enough to deal with such an army. ”
Hearing Yi Lao's analysis, his brows locked deeper.
Yi Lao thought that he was worried about Ji Kang's many years of attacking the northern country, and sighed: "Alas, it's just a pity that our soldiers' water combat ability is too poor, and the northern Xinjiang army occupies the right time and place, so we can only look at the ocean and sigh." ”
The madness glanced at Yi Lao, and then he woke up Yi Lao and what he said was not the same thing, he was obviously worried that the northern kingdom would suffer a loss when he encountered a strong enemy, but Yi Lao thought that he wanted to capture the northern kingdom.
It's a misunderstanding.
"Hmm. The madman replied lightly, but he didn't want to continue the topic. He looked around at the situation, found an exit, and pointed, "Look, Taifu, they are only halfway through the patrol, let's go around to the front, pass where they don't go, and then get on that boat." ”
Looking along the hand of the madman, Yi Lao really saw a tall warship and nodded, "Then let's go." ”

In the Northern Forbidden City, Donggu looked gloomy and met the emperor.
"What's wrong?" the emperor asked without raising his head.
Donggu sighed, "Emperor, the minister has no face to stay in the palace. ”
"......" Emperor Jun's face was ugly and silent. Just last night, Jiuqing's child died due to a severe wind and cold, and he was the ruler of Donggu, and the emperor was so painful that he didn't even want to say anything - another child!
"The minister is useless, please allow Donggu to resign!" Donggu kowtowed and didn't get up.
The emperor glanced at him and closed his eyes, "I don't blame you. It is a lonely child with a thin life. ”
Donggu sighed again, "After all, Donggu's medical skills are too shallow, if the third prince comes, he will definitely be able to save his life." ”
"Three Princes......" the emperor sneered sadly. Since Qianxia heard that day that he deliberately did not know the life experience of the madman in front of the people, and even secretly sent the madman back to Ji Kang in the end, and beheaded him in front of people in the city, Qianxia closed the door and sat in the Red Mansion for a long time, and threatened to go to Ji Kang when he got better and never come back.
Thinking of this, the emperor only felt that he seemed to be unable to keep anyone.
A trace of sorrow crossed the emperor's heart, and he said coldly: "You go." ”
Donggu was stunned, sighed, and made a big salute, "Emperor Xie!"
-----
The Great Emperor's Palace.
"Stop!
A patrol guard shouted loudly, all the guards looked back, but saw the back of a man dressed in black stunned in place, before everyone could react, they saw the man running away, the guards saw that something was wrong, and immediately took the lead and gave an order, "There is an assassin!
For a while, shouts filled the palace, and the whole palace was looking for the assassin.
When this shout reached the ears of Mo Chenyan, the prince of the East Palace, the tea bowl that Mo Chenyan had just received from the black bear fell to the ground, and muttered in distraction: "Qianshui ......"
The guards outside the room had sharp ears, and when they heard the sound of the cup falling to the ground, they immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly knocked on the door, "Prince?"
Mo Chenyan was losing his mind, and when he was called like this, the black bear pushed him again, and he immediately reacted, "Well, what's wrong?"
"Uh......" The guard thought that the ink inkstone was in danger, but he heard the other party's voice was normal, and he was a little uncertain. But I'm already standing here, so I'd better ask. Stubbornly, the guard said: "There was a voice in the prince's room just now, worried that the prince is in danger, and now there are assassins, is the prince okay here?"
Mo Chenyan glanced at the black bear, and the black bear immediately said loudly: "Alas, the people accidentally dropped a cup, and you guys made a fuss." Hurry up and arrest the assassins, don't wait for a while for the assassins to really come to harm the prince, but you will suffer. ”
The guard groaned, a little embarrassed, "Yes!"
Hearing the footsteps of the guards disperse, Mo Chenyan grabbed the black bear's arm, "Black bear, could it be him?"
The black bear's face is ugly, the political situation in Datian has been stable recently, and he really can't think of what an assassin will sneak in for, except for Qianshui, everyone else seems to lack a motive.
"No, Your Highness, rest assured. After the black bear finished speaking, he was not confident and showed a worried look.
Mo Chenyan's heart sank, "It's over, if he is caught, his father will definitely not let him go." ”
The black bear hurriedly grabbed Mo Chenyan's arm, "Your Highness, his martial arts are so high, ordinary people can't catch him." ”
"yes, in general...... There is a sacred tree to protect here, and there is also a father and emperor sitting in town. Mochen Yan's face was pale, and his forehead was already dripping with fine sweat.
"Your Highness......"
On the other side of the Great Heavenly Emperor's Palace, the upper study of the Emperor Mo.
When Emperor Mo looked at the excerpts, he didn't like people to serve in front of him, so he sent everyone away early in the morning and sat alone in the room to correct the recital.
At this moment, a guard stuck to the door and said, "Your Majesty, there are assassins, do you want to send more people." ”
Emperor Mo looked at the black shadow of the guard falling on the door, and said indifferently: "No one in this palace can hurt me, you go and track down the assassin with all your might." ”
The guards were deflated, and the emperor disliked them for being useless. was ashamed, so he hurried away.
Emperor Mo looked at the excerpt again, but after reading two lines, he couldn't help but raise his head, "Assassin?"
Two familiar and unfamiliar words made Emperor Mo feel funny in his heart, after all, such uninvited guests are still rare. In Emperor Mo's heart, such a person is undoubtedly here to send him to death, not to be afraid, but pitiful.
Just as he was thinking, suddenly a dark shadow fell in front of the window, and knocked on the edge of the window three times.
The Mo Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the window, "What person?"
The black shadow was silent, still knocking on the window, three times at a time.
The Mo Emperor seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly widened, and a glimmer of light flashed, "Come in." ”
