Li Zhan was assassinated, and the whole country was shaken!

"Who the hell did it! Are you guards all eating dry food!"

In the imperial study, Feng Yiming looked at the group of guards kneeling in front of him, his sad expression mixed with anger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Back to ...... Back to Marshal...... The strength of the person who came is too strong...... I...... We....... I didn't see it!"

The leading guard trembled.

"Rubbish!"

Feng Yiming drew his long sword.

"Marshal Wind!"

Ma Yu spoke at the right time.

"Why bother these attendants? The emperor has the cultivation of the war emperor, and if he can assassinate him, how can these guards stop him?"

"What does Ma Shangshu mean that this group of guards is not guilty?"

The wind whistled and spoke coldly.

"Guilty, but not death! Now it is better to calm the people's hearts first! As for responsibility, it is not too late to investigate it afterwards!"

The ministers of the imperial study couldn't help but nod secretly, the monarch was assassinated, and stabilizing the people's hearts was indeed the first priority.

"I don't know what Ma Shangshu thinks?"

Those who can enter the imperial study are all important ministers of the court, in addition to Ma Yu, there are also a cadre of officials here, Zhou Shilin and Zhuge Wenzheng are impressively listed. As for the prince and princess, they gathered in the dormitory.

"The emperor was assassinated, and the border is the most prone to problems, I think General Feng should rush to the border to supervise and guard it now!"

"You want me to go? The emperor was assassinated, the real murderer hasn't been caught yet, you want me to go!"

The wind roared and roared around his neck.

"We will investigate the real murderer, you are the right marshal of the empire, do you care about the safety of the empire?"

Ma Yu asked rhetorically.

"You ......"

"One Ming!"

Zhuge Wenzheng spoke.

In just one day, Zhuge Wenzheng has added a lot of gray hair on his head, and he has aged a lot.

"Ma Shangshu is right, the border is indeed a big problem, you arrange the city defense of the imperial capital and rush to the border immediately!"

"Mr. ......"

The wind howls and the wind rushes.

"Are you not even listening to me?"

Zhuge Wenzheng's voice became serious.

Slightly stunned, Feng Yiming gritted his teeth.

"Yes!"

Arching his hand to Zhuge Wenzheng, Feng Yiming withdrew from the imperial study with a reluctant face.

"Now that the emperor has been assassinated, the country cannot be without a king for a day, I want to inform the prince to come back to succeed to the throne, what do you think?"

With his prestige in the empire, Zhuge Wenzheng temporarily took over the banner.

"I agree!"

"What Mr. Zhuge said is right!"

A cadre of officials also responded with their mouths.

"What do you two think?"

Zhuge Wenzheng turned his head to look at Zhou Shilin and Ma Yu, in the court, the status of the two of them could not be ignored.

"I'm okay with that!"

Ma Yu nodded.

"Just do as the gentleman says!"

Zhou Shilin also spoke with red eyes.

"Okay! Everyone performs their duties, and you must ensure that everything in the imperial capital is normal before the prince returns! If there is a problem with the part that is responsible, go and explain to the emperor yourself!"

Zhuge Wenzheng's words made everyone can't help but change color.

Go and explain to Li Zhan, isn't that death......

......

In the emperor's bedroom, all the princes and princesses of the empire knelt on their knees in front of the dragon couch.

The dormitory, which was originally golden as the main hall, is now hung with white silk everywhere, and Li Zhan is lying quietly on the dragon couch, his face pale without the slightest blood.

Li Xin'er knelt beside the bed, her eyes had long lost their usual look, and Zhou Qingqing's eyes were also red and swollen.

"Father's ......"

Muttering to herself, Li Xin'er's body slowly fell backwards.

"Xin'er!"

"Seven Princesses!"

Zhou Qingqing exclaimed, and the surrounding maids' faces also changed greatly.

was overly sad, and Li Xin'er finally fainted.

.......

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we will be able to rush back to the imperial capital before nightfall tomorrow, you ...... Don't be too sad!"

In the dark of night, dozens of ships sped on the water.

"I know Ma Lao, you don't have to worry about me, go down!"

"Yes......."

With a long sigh, the old man slowly exited the cabin.

"You're acting too fake, aren't you?"

Once again, there were only two people left in the cabin, and Yan Shasha looked at Lin Xiao and rolled her eyes.

"What's the matter! He can still tell if I'm fake?"

Lin Xiao pursed her lips.

"I really made you right, the emperor was really assassinated!"

Yan Shasha said in a low voice.

Judging from the information sent by Ma Lao, General Feng has also been transferred out of the imperial capital, and it seems that they are still planning to attack the idea of hundreds of thousands of city defense troops in the imperial capital!"

"Then what should I do? If the city defense forces of the imperial capital are taken over by them, I'm afraid things will get out of control!"

Yan Shasha was a little worried.

"Where is it so easy!"

Lin Xiao rolled her eyes.

"Although you are responsible for the defense of the imperial capital, those troops are not our brothers who came back from the expedition together, if they ......"

When Yan Shasha stopped suddenly, she suddenly looked up as if she had thought of something.

"You...... They wouldn't have been replaced a long time ago, would they?"

"Clever!"

Lin Xiao gave Yan Shasha a thumbs up.

"Before we set off, I had already followed the general to pass the qi, and every time we changed shifts, I would always quietly replace some people with our own brothers! Now the 500,000 city defense troops in the imperial capital account for one-third of our people, and this one-third occupies all the key parts!"

"Teacher Mu is right, you are really good at doing things, it seems that my worries are unnecessary!"

Yan Shasha breathed a sigh of relief.

"But now I understand why Ten Thousand Scorpions want us to stay in Yunshui City for a few days, in addition to waiting for the people who assassinated the emperor to make a move, I am afraid that another purpose is to buy time for the people who infiltrate the city defense forces!"

"I think so too, no matter what, at most the day after tomorrow, all these things will be clear!"

Looking at the scenery of the rapid retreat outside the cabin, Lin Xiao's heart was a little worried, like Li Zhan, he was worried about whether Li Xin'er could withstand this sudden blow.

......

It was another dawn, and the assassination of the emperor made the Wind and Thunder Empire still in turmoil, and the people were waiting to see how the empire would respond to the sudden crisis.

Xiangguo Mansion, Zhou Qingqing's boudoir.

Although Li Xin'er had woken up, her eyes still couldn't find any look.

"Xin'er...... Don't be like this! If Lin Xiao sees you like this, I don't know what it will be like to feel distressed!"

Zhou Qingqing sat on the edge of the bed and comforted.

Hearing Lin Xiao's name, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Xin'er's eyes, and then she was covered up by grief again.

"Miss, Young Master Zhang Ziqian is waiting in the small courtyard with a group of people!"

The voice of a maid sounded at the door.

Although she was crowned as Princess Tianfeng, the maids of Xiangguo Mansion were still used to calling Miss Zhou Qingqing.

"Got it, let them wait, I'll get out right away!"

Zhou Qingqing replied.

"You have a good rest, you see, Ziqian and they are all so worried about you, let alone Lin Xiao!

patted Li Xin'er's arm, and Zhou Qingqing slowly got up.
