Encountering an assassin attack on the way back to his hometown is not a complicated matter, it is nothing more than trying to find a way to catch the assassin and then find out the people behind the scenes.

Dare to kill me? Then I'll kill you all!"

But once this matter involves the three princes, it becomes complicated.

Today's Emperor Jianming looks very young and energetic, but this should be because of the success of his cultivation, he is actually in his fifties, and he has a total of seven children, namely the eldest prince of the queen, and the second prince, the third prince, the fourth princess, the fifth princess, the sixth prince, and the seventh princess who belong to different concubines.

Among them, the eldest prince and the second prince are both in their thirties, and the third prince is in his twenties.

Now Emperor Jianming is in the prime of life, and he has a successful practice, the country is stable, and he has the ambition to point to the Western Regions, so he did not set up a prince.

Of course, there is a reason for this, in the current situation of Emperor Jianming, it is the time when the entire court needs to work together, if the prince is established, then there will inevitably be a large number of talents to climb, once this is attached, the force he can mobilize will inevitably be affected to a greater or lesser extent, which is not conducive to the overall situation.

This can be seen from the actions of Emperor Jianming, he is an absolutely cautious person, everything is planned and then moved, even if the current national strength of Daqian against the Xiongnu is already nine out of ten, almost caught, but he is still fully prepared, and has the mentality of a lion fighting a rabbit.

Under such circumstances, he naturally would not see the emergence of a factor that would hinder him from mobilizing his strength, so even though the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince were already old, they had never had the intention of establishing a crown prince.

However, this caused a situation where the position of the crown prince was vacant, and the three princes had their own thoughts.

Even if they don't, the courtiers at the bottom will choose the corresponding prince according to their own interests, and then promote this matter, and strive to put the prince who is in line with their own interests on the throne, which will greatly promote the development of their own interests.

Although under the incomparably consolidated imperial rule of the Great Qian Empire, these courtiers could not make any waves, but there would be such a momentum in the end.

Among the three princes, the eldest prince has always been trained in the border army, the second prince has been in the court to help, and the third prince has never moved.

It's just that now it seems that I'm afraid that the third prince is a little close to the Baohe faction.

And...... If the possible speculation is true, this third prince actually dares to send someone to assassinate him, a famous minister promoted by His Majesty the Emperor, even if the other party has no murderous intent, his heart is difficult to guess.

"The matter between the princes, one careless is to break the bones, we have not achieved a great cause now, it is not appropriate to participate in the affairs of these princes, even if this matter is really the worst situation we guess, it should not happen."

Inside the carriage, Wang Hengliang, Xu Jin, Liu Qingshi, Wang Guangyun, Zhao Xiu and Li Yang gathered together, Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu guarded outside the carriage, and after careful discussion, after hearing the news from the mouths of these [Juyi Villa] people, Zhao Xiu couldn't help but say: "Even if everything is really the worst we guessed, we must wait for the future to develop and grow before settling accounts after the autumn." ”

"Now, we don't have anything, and it's really not appropriate to be involved in these things."

After listening to what Zhao Xiu said, several people all nodded solemnly.

"Besides, what is the matter with the third prince, no one knows that what Chai Yongjie of [Juyi Villa] said may not be true, even if it is true, he only heard these five words, the same five words, the different content before and after are completely different meanings, it is really not good to decide something rashly because of this."

Liu Qingshi opened his mouth cautiously, and his eyebrows were full of heavy colors.

[Qingsong Guan] is a very good first-class force in the rivers and lakes, but it is only in the rivers and lakes, compared to the royal family in charge of the world, it is not worth mentioning.

He and Wang Hengliang's martial arts are very strong, but there are such masters in the royal family, not to mention anything else, just the six spirit beads that rewarded Li Ming this time are all that he [Qingsong Guan] does not have.

Not to mention that there are two more spells.

In the face of the power of the royal family, they are too weak after all.

Although the three princes did not represent the royal family, and even the assassins who came to attack them this time were not necessarily related to the royal family, but were more likely to be the Baohe faction, but ...... Whoever it is, they are not fit now, and they do not have the heart to participate in these things.

Therefore, at this moment, even just a few words made each of them extremely vigilant in their hearts, and they sat here and talked for a long time, even Liu Qingshi, who was walking the rivers and lakes, had rich experience, and knew the role of mentality the most, was very dignified.

This kind of whirlpool is really not something they can participate in now.

"These are exactly what I want to say, this sentence is rotten in everyone's hearts, and you can't mention it when the time comes."

Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously knowing the seriousness of this matter.

If this matter was really done by the third prince, then what was his purpose?

In order not to start a war, so send someone to assassinate him?

But Emperor Jianming has made up his mind to fight, can't he see that he is the same without him?

The battle between the Xiongnu and Daqian will definitely be carried out, and this will never change anything because of Li Ming alone.

However, under such circumstances, why would the other party come to assassinate him?

Just a warning?

But what if not......

With the strength of the other party, this time it was sent so many innate masters with strong strength and mastery of spells, and the assassination was not successful, if the other party really had murderous intentions, would it be even stronger in the future?

Is it right for him to continue to return home, and will he encounter more dangers on the way?

All kinds of problems suddenly turned into mountains lingering in my heart because of one sentence, and people couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts.

But, in any case, all this is still in the shadows, everyone has not torn their faces, and there is still room for maneuver no matter what.

On the contrary, if he pokes this matter out and turns it from the dark to the open, then he will really turn the living chess into a dead chess.

Once they really stand on the opposite side, with the power of the position of the third prince, they are afraid that if they are not careful, they will die on the spot.

Therefore, even if there are all kinds of doubts about this matter, and now there are all kinds of crises, it cannot be openly publicized.

However, if you don't do it, you can't do it.

"Tell everyone, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and in the next time, we must always maintain sufficient vigilance and be prepared to deal with all situations."

Li Ming spoke solemnly to everyone, and squinted his eyes again after speaking: "How many carrier pigeons do we have now that can fly back to the capital?" ”

"Five more."

Wang Guangyun on the side followed and spoke.

"Keep two, and the rest will be ready for me to send to the capital in writing."

Li Ming thought about it and immediately opened his mouth to command.

Then someone took a pen and paper and wrote on the frame on the spot.

Seeing this, Wang Guangyun immediately went to the team to fetch all the carrier pigeons that could travel back and forth to the capital, and waited for Li Ming's writing to be completed.

"Your Majesty personally enlightened, on the way back to his hometown, Li Ming suddenly encountered nine assassins, his martial arts are extremely high, all of them are congenital middle and late realms, and master spells, extraordinary strength, can fly away, difficult to prevent, the minister's life is small, insignificant, but the minister's trip back to his hometown, is to train soldiers and horses, to prepare for the conquest of the Huns, I am afraid that because of the minister's small life missed the great cause of sending troops."

"The minister thinks, the minister's army is small, but the power of the Huns, every point is significant, this is really a thousand deaths can not escape its guilt, for the future training of the army is smooth, I hope Your Majesty will be troubled to dispatch the master to guard, to shock the night."

Li Yang quickly wrote letters on the paper in small characters, wrote three letters in a row, and after waiting for the ink to dry, they were rolled into paper rolls and stuffed into the letter bucket on the leg of the carrier pigeon.

"In case of accidents, Master Lao, you two will follow and take a look."

After writing the letter, Li Ming said with a smile to the master and master in front of him.

Let the emperor send some masters over, this is the solution that Li Ming thought of.

Li Ming didn't know how high this master was, but as long as it was a master personally sent by the emperor, even if it was just a first-class martial artist, it showed his attitude.

There are masters sent by the emperor, this is an attitude to protect him, if anyone attacks him when there are masters sent by the emperor to guard him, it is not a trivial matter like a shot against him Li Ming, but a major event that provokes the imperial power.

At that time, without Li Ming's bothering, the huge royal power will pour into the nest and instantly crush it into powder.

In this way, even if their strength has not yet developed, they do not have to worry about encountering any more difficult enemy crises.

In addition to this, there is a careful thought...... Li Ming specifically mentioned that they would fly away, that is, they had the meaning of asking for the corresponding spell

———— the assassins I met would have used this kind of spell, wouldn't it be dangerous if I didn't have a way to deal with it?

I just don't know if the emperor will give it or not, if he wants to give it, Li Ming thought, there is a high probability that it will come with this master who was sent, so that they can learn.

As for the emperor believe it or not...... He had no reason to be suspicious.

These carrier pigeons are specially cultivated, once they fly to the capital, they will not fly to Li Ming's mansion, but directly to the royal pigeon station, with Li Ming's current status in the emperor, he will definitely not think that he is idle and has nothing to do to lie to him.

As for what will be done, it depends on what Emperor Jianming thinks.

When Li Ming was thinking in his heart, the rest of the people who read the letter he wrote also had smiles on their faces, obviously they also understood the meaning of Li Ming's letter, and after listening to Li Ming's words at this moment, Liu Qingshi and Xu Jin immediately nodded.

Pigeons may be threatened by predators during the flight, such as eagles, cats, etc., which can cause them to panic and lose their direction, or even lose their lives, so it is necessary to escort them for a period of time in order to ensure that these three pigeons can fly back smoothly.

And it doesn't stop there, there are also hunters' hunting, secretly hidden enemies who see the character fly out and kill the carrier pigeon, and so on.

It is most likely to attract attention when the pigeons are taking off, so it is wise to escort some distance at this time.

Especially with the escort of innate masters, it is even more foolproof.

"We are now in a much faster hurry than the pigeons."

Hearing Li Ming's words, Liu Qingshi and Xu Jin both had a smile on their faces, the two of them and Wang Hengliang are the core force of the team, although escorting the pigeons is important, but protecting their safety is equally important, so it is impossible to go out all.

Leaving the strongest Wang Hengliang in, the two of them going out to send the pigeons is the best choice.

"You go slower on the way, rest a little more when you get to the inn, and then we can send the pigeons back there."

Liu Qingshi said a word, and he and Xu Jin took the three grids with him, and then quickly walked towards the direction of the capital.

It is impossible for them to bring the pigeons directly to the capital, but they can bring them to a very close distance in half a day, which greatly increases the safety of the pigeons, with their current cultivation and mana, as well as the attainments of light body kung fu, and strength, this is not a problem.

Li Ming watched the master and uncle disappear from sight, and then looked at the [Juyi Villa] group that followed at the end of the team, and a group of horses brought by the master, uncle, and uncle from their nest, more than thirty carriages, a pile of grain, cloth and silver money, and silently returned to the carriage.

"Uncle Shi, then you and I will sit together, Wang Guangyun, you and Zhao Xiu will walk in front of us in a carriage, let Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu prepare three identical carriages to walk in the middle, and there will be a few men sitting in them, let's just have a carriage near these carriages, and then let them walk behind us in the carriage together."

Li Ming returned to the carriage, thought about it, adjusted their positions again, and when they heard Li Ming's words, they all nodded, and then began to mobilize the carriages in the convoy and adjust the scale of the personnel.

"It's a good fiction and reality, there must be a cat in a convoy of three identical carriages walking together, but there is no cat greasy inside, the most obvious guardian sign Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu are in the carriage and no one knows where it is, even if they find your carriage, they will face our strongest masters, and no matter which one they find, they are good-looking."

Zhao Xiu listened to Li Ming's arrangement, couldn't help but light up his eyes, praised him, and then hurriedly went out with Wang Guangyun to make arrangements.

Wang Hengliang showed a smile on his face, did not speak, and sat opposite Li Ming with his sword in his arms, his eyes slightly closed, sensing the movement around him.

Outside the carriage, Zhao Xiu and Wang Guangyun found Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu and whispered to them what Li Ming had arranged.

The carriages and horses in the convoy moved back and forth several times, and before they knew it, one of the carriages changed places, and then continued to walk on the wide official road. (End of chapter)
