Chapter 210: Assassination
Earlier, Hongli received news that Hongchang and Honghui planned to assassinate Hongli, Hongli was always on guard, but nothing happened to him, everyone knew that Hongli was not a candidate for the prince, so Hongli did not need to scruple, who would have expected that he had met the assassin!
When I came out to play today, there were not many guards with Hongday, only four, a man and a woman opposite, plus two middle-aged people in the rear, there were also four people.
Hongtian himself can also do martial arts, but he still has to protect Yongshu and not let her be hurt at all. Yongshu was tightly grabbed by Hongday's wrist, pulling and pulling, making her dizzy, she didn't know martial arts, so she could only hide beside him and seek refuge.
After a few rounds of fighting, Hongtian finally saw some eyebrows, those people didn't seem to want his life, every shot was not fatal, they seemed to want to capture him, but the guards on the side were tightly guarded, and they couldn't succeed for a long time.
When the pedestrians on the road saw someone flashing their swords, they were so frightened that they avoided one after another, and even the stall owners on the side of the road hid, for fear that the stalls would be harmless.
The guards were not vegetarians, and one of the assassins had been captured by the guards, and when they saw this, they became more and more anxious, seeing that they couldn't catch the fifth elder brother, they glanced at each other and targeted the woman next to him.
This woman doesn't know martial arts, so it seems easier to hold on. However, the fifth elder brother kept pulling her, and the young man simply slashed down between them with a knife!
Hongtian had to let go, otherwise Yongshu's hand would be injured, and Yongshu also had guards by his side, but the female assassin actually pushed her knees and directly pushed him to the point, and the pain made the guard break out in a cold sweat!
While the guard was distracted, the female assassin grabbed Yongshu and pulled her over.
Yongshu struggled desperately, the female assassin thought she was in the way, and slashed at the back of her neck with a palm, Yongshu fainted instantly, Hongsun was furious, and raised his voice angrily, "Save Fujin!" ”
The guards were about to step forward, and the female assassin threw down an object casually, and the smoke around them was instantly filled, and the guards couldn't see anything clearly, but when the smoke cleared for the most part, those people had already disappeared, and Yongshu was gone!
Seeing this, Hongday's back was cold, his eyebrows were angry, and he scolded with hatred, "Waste! Immediately send additional manpower to search the whereabouts of Fujin, and at the same time send people to notify the city gates, set up checkpoints, and strictly investigate those who leave the city! ”
The other three guards had already gone to investigate, and another of them was suddenly embarrassed, "But the fifth master, without the edict of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, you can't set up checkpoints at will!" ”
Yongshu is lost, how can Hongtian still take care of any rules? Now that the palace gate is closed, he can't enter the palace, if he goes to the Admiral of the Nine Gates to ask for a commandment, maybe the assassin will run away!
"Let's just say that there is an assassin who committed an assassination, and the lord ordered to investigate, the emperor doesn't have to scruple about it, and the lord will take responsibility!"
He must find Yongshu as soon as possible, the later the more dangerous it is!
Hongyang also wanted to personally participate in the search, but Xiao Jinzi tried every means to dissuade him, "Master, maybe there are assassins in ambush nearby, it is safest for you to go back to the house, in case something happens to you, the slave will not be able to explain to the emperor!" ”
Hongday's heart was uneasy, and he was burning inside, "Yongshu was taken away by them, how can the master return home with peace of mind?" ”
"It's night now, the field of vision is unknown, if you look outside, the guards still have to protect your safety, they can't concentrate on looking for Fujin, master, you better go back to the house first and wait for news!" Otherwise, the guards have news and don't know where to look for you! ”
Xiao Jinzi persuaded again and again, and Hongtian had no choice but to return to the mansion.
The time of waiting for the news was extremely tormenting, he felt that the time for a cup of tea was very long, the night was like ink, it was pitch black, and the two of them were still holding hands and hanging out, this time Zi Yongshu was gone, but he didn't know where she was at the moment.
The last time I saw her, she was knocked unconscious, is she awake at this time? If she finds out that she has been kidnapped, will she be very scared, will she think of him, and want him to save her?
But the guard never came to report her, and he didn't even know where she was!
The target of those people was obviously him, why did they capture Yongshu in the end? Who are they and what is their purpose?
Hongtian was puzzled, his eyes kept looking out of the door, expecting someone to talk back and forth, saying that he had found her, but he waited until midnight, and there was still no news!
The captured Assassin was badly wounded and unconscious, and Hiroshi had his best efforts to heal him, hoping that he would wake up and get something out of his mouth.
This night, Hongtian didn't close his eyes, obviously his eyes were dry, but he couldn't sleep, he had been imagining Yongshu's situation, worried that something would happen to her.
It wasn't until dawn that one of the guards returned, and Hongday's tired eyes finally lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Is there any news of Fujin? ”
The guard shook his head timidly, and the disappointed Hongtian slapped him angrily, "It's all waste, isn't the city gate closed?" How can you not even find someone? ”
The guard endured the pain and arched his hand: "The fifth master is angry, the humble and other guards have already searched separately, looking for them door to door, and the inn and restaurant have all been checked, but there is still no news." ”
"Find! Keep looking! I don't believe they can fly out of the imperial city with wings! Hongday's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and the whole person was full of remorse, he only hated why he took Yongshu to the night market last night, why he carelessly only brought four guards, but if he brought more, it would not put Yongshu in danger.
This change came too suddenly, until this moment, Hongtian still felt like he had experienced a dream, maybe after waking up, Yongshu was still by his side.
Xiao Jinzi knew that his master was worried about Fu Jin, so he could only persuade him to think about the benefits, "They just knocked Fu Jin unconscious, and they didn't take her life, it can be seen that they have a plan to arrest people, and there should be news in the future." ”
These assassins came strangely, Hongtian could not figure out their purpose, and waited all night, and when the time was approaching, Hongday had to change his clothes and go to court, and he had to inform the emperor of this.
The discussion in the court is all political affairs, and it is inconvenient for Hongday to say it clearly, until after the next court, Hongday went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for the emperor, and truthfully recounted the situation last night.
When Yongzheng heard this, Long Yan was furious, "These assassins are simply lawless! Dare to assassinate the prince in the imperial city! ”
The prince was assassinated and Fujin disappeared, which is a big deal, but this matter is not suitable for publicity, it will damage the royal face, and Yongzheng can only send people from the sticky pole to secretly search.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace were dispatched, and after checking for a whole day, there was still no news, just when Hongtian was irritable and anxious, an arrow was suddenly shot into the pillar in front of the Prince's Mansion, and the arrow had a note, and the guards immediately became alert, and wanted to search for the person who shot the arrow, but found that there was no one around.
The leader arranged four guards to track down, and sent another guard to pull out the arrow and send the note to the fifth elder brother's study non-stop.
Got a note? That should be about Yongshu, right?
Hongtian immediately stood up, walked quickly to the guard, took the note, and quickly opened it to take a closer look.
At this point, Hongyang suddenly realized that a few days ago, the imperial court arrested three anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the four last night were also from the Heaven and Earth Society, and their purpose was not to assassinate him, but to exchange him for the three people who were arrested.
The guards were tightly guarded, and they failed to succeed, so they grabbed Yongshu with their backhand, and now they want to use Yongshu to replace people!
After learning their true purpose, Hongzheng immediately entered the palace and begged the emperor to exchange those three for Yongshu, but to Hongday's surprise, Yongzheng actually refused!
