Chapter 10: Assassination in the Street
The pedestrians on the street shouted when they saw that someone dared to stab the prince in the street.
The city guards quickly came from a distance, but unfortunately the speed of the sword light was too fast, and it was about to stab the carriage of Ying Wuxian.
Suddenly, the sword flashed, and a severed arm holding the sword fell to the ground with a snap.
The assassin of the Blood Killing Hall turned around and wanted to escape. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into a tall body.
was caught by the other party's hand lightly, and fell into the hands of the other party.
Doesn't it mean that this prince has no power in the palace and no backers? How can there be such a powerful master around.
Could it be a master sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion?
The city guards quickly arrived at the horses, calming the ordinary people running around the streets and maintaining order.
On the streets, calm quickly returned.
The leader of the team is a doctor of the eighth stage of the martial arts. recognized the identity of the prince who won without disease, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
That assassin had already been taken down by Shen Lang. Win Wuxian didn't lift the curtains, but just ordered Shen Lang to hand over the assassins to the city guards and let them be well checked.
Less than 100 meters away from the carriage of Yingwu, there is a three-story restaurant.
In the elegant room on the third floor of the restaurant next to the street, there are three or four young people dressed as princes, and they can see the scene on the street clearly.
"I can't imagine that Prime Minister Li Cheng attaches so much importance to winning without illness and letting this guy escape."
The prince who speaks, if he wins without illness here, he can recognize it at a glance. This prince is the one who has had a relationship with him.
It's just that in front of winning without disease, his neck is raised to the sky, and he is extremely arrogant and winning. Now I can only stand at the table, not even a seat.
The two princes sitting across the table, one of whom looked to be in his forties.
Sitting there, Yue Zhiyuan was extraordinary, obviously in a high position. Every time you raise your hand and foot, you will carry a sense of majesty.
The middle-aged prince did not respond to the words of Win Wuji, and spoke directly to the prince opposite: "Brother Wuwu Emperor, what do you think about this matter?" ”
The prince who was called Wuwu on the other side heard his question, and muttered for a moment before he spoke:
"According to our information, this win is not sick in the palace, but he is just a prince at the bottom. It's just that for some reason, I was able to break through to the martial artist realm, and I think this is the most important thing. ”
The middle-aged prince nodded, showing a hint of a smile, his imperial brother said to the point.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, a nine-rank prince without any network resources, but in a short period of time, he became a seventh-rank prince.
Now he has jumped up and become the prince of Zhengliupin, the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire.
If there is no catty in this, he will not believe it.
The night before yesterday, the prince who had just made a big splash at the palace dinner was assassinated on the streets of the capital.
The news spread rapidly, and all the large and small forces in the capital received the news.
There is a mansion covering an area of dozens of acres in the east of the capital, which is the general's mansion of Sima Mingshi, the general of the current dynasty.
In the main hall of the mansion, the general Sima Mingshi sat in the center, and a middle-aged scribe about forty or fifty years old sat on the side next to him, who should be the staff of the general's mansion.
"Li Wenshan, that old fox, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" Listening to Sima Mingshi's tone, it seems that he has a very friendly relationship with Prime Minister Li Wenshan.
However, in all dynasties, the civil and military were enemies, and most of the two sides looked down on each other.
"General, there must be something on that win without illness, the secret we don't know, was discovered by that Li Wenshan.
Otherwise, with the prime minister's city government, it is impossible to accept a low-grade prince as a fast son-in-law for no reason. ”
The words of the middle-aged scribe were very well recognized by Sima Mingshi.
He stood up from his seat and walked around the hall a few times before he opened his mouth and ordered: "Let the secret guards in the palace pay more attention to the situation in the capital." ”
The middle-aged scribe had already stood up, and after listening to the general's instructions, he bowed down and agreed.
Other forces in the capital have also sent their capable subordinates out to inquire about the news.
For a while, an undercurrent began to emerge in the invisible places of the capital.
At the center of the whirlpool of this undercurrent is Win Wuxi, who is rushing to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, he naturally got the news that Win was assassinated.
Prime Minister Li Wenshan sat in the study, rubbing the beard on his chin with one hand, as if he was thinking about something.
Standing next to him were his second and fifth sons, Li Tiangang, who was ranked fifth, and his temperament was more impatient.
Seeing that his father was slow to speak, he stood up and walked around the house.
asked directly: "Father, the guards who are rumored to be disease-free outside are sent by our Prime Minister's Mansion." But as far as I know, we don't have such a master in the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
The second Li Tianhua has a calm temperament and waved his hand to ask Li Tiangang not to disturb his father's train of thought.
Li Tiangang had no choice but to stomp his feet helplessly and sit back in his seat.
Li Wenshan said with a smile: "The husband I found for my father to help your little sister is really not simple. After a while, he will come to the house, and if you look at him carefully, you will naturally see some scorns.
At this time, the housekeeper outside the door came to spread the word that one hundred and twenty-two princes won the prime minister's mansion without illness.
"You two take Tianming and Tianfang to greet them! For his father, who is old and weak, he can just wait outside the hall. Li Wenshan commanded lightly.
Li Tianhua and Li Tiangang bowed in response, turned around and left the study.
Li Wenshan, who stayed in the room, said to an empty corner in the study: "Come out!" Tell me what you see. ”
In the corner of the study, a dark shadow slowly emerged. The black shadow lurked here, and Li Tianhua and Li Tiangang were unaware of it, and the hiding skills of this black shadow were really good.
"It was a strange master who shot at the scene, and the cultivation realm should be a high level of war generals, and he cut off the assassin's arm with a single sword. The knife technique is at least Dacheng or above. ”
"The assassin should be a person from the Blood Killing Hall, I don't know who made such a big price to assassinate one hundred and twenty-two princes."
"However, there is a fragrant restaurant within 100 meters of the assassination site, and the eighth prince and the twenty-fifth prince are drinking in the private room by the window."
The one hundred and twenty-second prince sat in the carriage and did not make a move. Judging from his voice, he was very calm, not like a prince who had lived in the deep palace for a long time. ”
This black shadow actually investigated the assassination of Ying Wuxian on the street in a short period of time.
After Li Wenshan listened to the words of the black shadow, he instantly understood many things. With a wave of his hand, the black shadow retreated silently, as if it had never appeared indoors.
At the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the middle door was wide open, and Li Tianhua and his three younger brothers had already come out.
Win Wuxian didn't put on any royal momentum, and as soon as he saw Li Tianhua and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Win Wuxian looked polite, and immediately won the favor of the sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
