King Hedong's face froze, and fear appeared in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Assassin...... There are assassins! ”

As soon as the voice fell, I saw that suddenly another sharp arrow came towards me!

King Hedong's pupils shrank, he retreated again and again, pushed open the door behind the carriage, and almost jumped off the ground with a rolling belt.

"Protect the prince!"

Several guards on horseback at the back of the carriage were shocked when they saw this.

In addition to the charioteers, one of the guards who was opening the way in front of him also fell from his horse with an arrow at some point, and was lying on the ground without moving.

The man who did it was extraordinary!

At this time, those people who were hidden in the darkness finally appeared, all dressed in black robes, masked, and flew towards the king of Hedong.

The number of them is not large, but there are only about a dozen of them, but all of them are amazing, and their moves are lethal, and the number of roads is ruthless.

"Who are you! Who sent you to assassinate this king? ”

Today was to enter the palace for a banquet, so the king of Hedong did not have many guards, so he did not have the upper hand in numbers, and at this time he was protected by several guards in the middle, and his face was bloodless: "...... I am Li Jin, the dignified king of Hedong, this is the Jingshi, do you know the consequences of assassinating me! ”

The black-clothed man at the head had a pair of eyes as cold and sharp as a long sword in his hand: "It's you Li Jin who killed." ”

Before the voice fell, the cold sword brushed the neck of one of the guards, and scarlet blood sprayed in front of the eyes of the King of Hedong.

"You ......" King Hedong's face was stained with blood, his pupils trembled, and he said in a panic: "This king...... Whatever you want, this king can give it, as long as you are willing to let this king go, this king will promise everything! ”

"Naturally, I want your life—" The leader raised his sword and stabbed it.

The king of Hedong jerked back, pulled the wounded guard at his side to block the undodging sword, and then turned and fled.

"Lord ......"

In the carriage, Princess Hedong, who was too frightened to move, trembled: "Sparrow, what should I do......"

The envoy beside her blurted out, "Princess, let's ...... Let's run! ”

Princess Hedong's eyes struggled: "No...... How could I leave the prince and run for my life alone! ”

"No...... It's not to leave the prince! As soon as the envoy grabbed her arm, she was about to tear the person out of the carriage: "These people are menacing, we are not opponents, the best way is to find someone to save the prince!" ”

"Princess, let's go back and move the rescuers quickly!"

"If it's too late, it'll be too late!"

Princess Hedong got out of the carriage in a daze and nodded carelessly: "That's right...... I'm going to find someone to save the prince! ”

So, the master and servant lifted their dresses and ran quickly in the opposite direction to the man in black chasing and killing the king of Hedong.

"Whoa—"

Sharp arrows pierce the night, then flesh.

King Hedong, who was running desperately, stiffened, and looked down at him in a daze.

In the next moment, his stiff figure trembled again.

Another arrow pierced him in the chest.

Soon, a trail of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He opened his mouth, and immediately more blood gushed out, drowning out his faint voice: "Help...... Save ......"

"Plop!"

The body of the king of Hedong fell to the ground heavily, and his eyes were still desperately wide, not daring to close.

He couldn't just die......

He is Li Jin, the king of Hedong!

Someone will come to his rescue and heal him!

He tried to keep his eyes open, but it was gradually darkened in front of him, and he had no strength to break free.

On the other side, the princess and the envoy of Hedong ran into a dead end in a panic.

"Princess...... Those people seem to be here! ”

Hearing the sound of very fast footsteps, the envoy was so frightened that she was about to cry: "What should I do......"

If you run out now, you'll definitely run into their knives, but this is a dead end!

Princess Hedong's mind was also blank, and she looked at the dim surroundings in a panic, and then ducked behind a few water tanks at the end of the alley.

Seeing this, the female envoy hurriedly followed and hid.

These tanks are filled with water, which is used by the various workshops in case of accidental water use.

Therefore, several tanks are very large, and it is far enough to cover the body.

But only if those people don't come forward to check it out, otherwise they will have to die!

Princess Hedong couldn't control her nervous breathing, so she covered her mouth with her hands and watched the movement with wide eyes.

Listening to the footsteps, those people walked into the alley!

The master and servant only felt that their hearts were about to jump out at any time.

"Split up and chase after it."

"It's a dead end, they should run away."

"There's no need to chase—" The man who sounded like the leader in his tone said, "It's only Li Jin that we're going to kill tonight, and the princess of Hedong will run away." ”

"But if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots......"

"She doesn't know who killed Li Jin." The leader turned around and left, and said with a sneer: "Li Jin has done a lot of evil, and he has made countless enemies, and the person who wants to take his dog life is not only Hou Ye. ”

"Yes."

As the footsteps of the group of black-clothed people disappeared, Princess Hedong's figure softened and sat down on the ground trembling.

"Princess, they ...... They're gone......" the envoy said with a crying voice, her expression crying and laughing.

"Did you hear that......" Princess Hedong muttered, "They just said, Lord Hou ......"

"Yes, the servant hears ......"

"Which Hou Ye ......" Princess Hedong's mind was still blank.

The female envoy was stunned and said, "It's just in the car...... The prince said that he would break the body of Dingbei Hou into ten thousand pieces...... The one who clashed with the prince in the palace today seems to be the ...... of the Marquis of Dingbei! ”

Princess Hedong's palms at her side weakly supported her body and slowly stood up.

She took the envoy with her and staggered back to the carriage.

Not far away, she found the king of Hedong.

"Wang ...... Rajah? She knelt down, threw herself at the side of the king of Hedong, and shouted in a trembling voice.

King Hedong's eyes were still wide, but it was obvious that it was ...... It was no longer a pair of living eyes.

Touching his already cold fingers, Princess Hedong screamed, and her eyes turned black.

"Murdered!"

"Dingbei Hou has killed someone!"

Since Princess Hedong fell into a fainting and woke up in the palace the next day, she kept repeating these two sentences in her mouth.

"What?"

Hengyu, who had just gotten up to eat breakfast and had not yet had time to enter the palace, was shocked when he heard the news: "The king of Hedong is dead?" ”

"Yes, it's all out there now!" Cuihuai said the news that Mrs. Meng got again: "It is said that the princess of Hedong insisted that the person was killed by the Marquis Xiao, and now the palace has issued an order to surround the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and hand over the case to Dali Temple for trial!" ”

Heng Yu immediately got up when he heard this.

"Where is the girl going?" Cuihuai nervously followed, and reminded in a low voice: "At this time, there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at the Dingbei Hou Mansion......"

"I know, I don't want to go to Dingbei Hou Mansion." Heng Yu said: "Enter the palace to teach." ”

Cui Huai was slightly stunned.

"Don't let people see the anomaly." Hengyu confessed to her.

Cuihuai understood, and Zhengse responded with "yes".

Heng Yu went out at the usual hour, and after getting into the carriage, Shi allowed himself to think about the matter carefully.

"Girl, aren't you worried about Dingbei Hou?" Cuihuai asked hesitantly, this matter is too sudden, this case is too important, if the crime is really confirmed, what is waiting for Dingbeihou is undoubtedly ......

"It's because I'm worried-" Heng Yu subconsciously frowned and combed through: "What happened in the palace last night, when I talked to my grandmother and brother after I returned home, you were also present, so you should know that it was the Hou Ye who helped last night and made a move against the King of Hedong...... The situation is uncertain at the moment, and I am afraid that someone with a good heart will use last night's conflict as a cause to make a fuss...... And last night's incident, I am the key, and the more times like this, the less I can show anything strange in the open. ”

Of course, the key to this case is the "testimony" of Princess Hedong, not the so-called antecedents, but it is necessary to remain calm at this time.

Only by calming down can we not lose our proportions.

"Besides, there is no way to distinguish whether the news outside is true or false-" Heng Yu said: "The news from the East Palace can always be more accurate." ”

With the elder brother by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's side, you can also understand the situation of this matter and the concerns of all parties.

The carriage soon left Yankangfang, and Hengyu listened to the noise on the street in the morning, and the words "King of Hedong" faintly spread in the mouths of the people.

The death of the king of Hedong is undoubtedly a major event.

It is a major event that will cause a sensation in the entire Jingshi.

And the shock and discussion caused by such a major event are destined to be uncontrollable.

In a teahouse on the street, the young man in brocade looked at the people and horses of Dali Temple passing through the market, and said with interest in his eyes: "Next, you can wait to see a good show." ”

He held a cup of tea and leaned back in the chair leisurely: "I don't know if this time, Xiao Hou can still hate this Jingshi court where everyone can't drink his blood and eat his flesh...... Staying faithful to the end? ”

sighed again: "It's just that I pity my little seventeen, I'm afraid I'm going to worry about him." ”

He was in the private room on the second floor, accompanied by a henchman by his side, but at this moment, the servant did not dare to answer at will.

Until the brocade-clothed boy opened his mouth and asked him, "What I want, are you ready?" ”

"Hui Langjun, it's ready, when is it more appropriate to send it?"

"Naturally, it was going to be delivered on the same day—"

"Yes, the villain wrote it down."

The young man in brocade finally looked out the window, put down the teacup and got up, yawned, and said casually: "Let's go, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, so as not to be targeted." ”

……

Seeing that Hengyu came over at the usual hour, when Yue saw the blessing of the body, he said: "Things were in a hurry last night, and the maid was also confused, so I didn't take care of it for a while...... Ji Niangzi was frightened by this, and it is said that she did not have to come here today, and should rest at home for a few days. ”

Heng Yu said: "It's okay, it's not a fright." ”

"That'll be fine." Yuejian accompanied Hengyu to the direction of the study, and on the way he lowered his voice and said, "Ji Niangzi must have heard about it, right?" ”

Heng Yu nodded lightly.

Yue Jian didn't say anything, but exchanged news with Hengyu.

She is the female envoy of the East Palace, and her words and deeds are engraved in her bones, Heng Yu also pressed this matter silently, and said instead: "Heng Yu has a matter, I want to ask Yue to see my sister to help——"

"Ji Niangzi, please speak."
