Chapter 86: Assassination
Li Jing walked on the way back, but he didn't notice that someone in the crowd was quietly following him, and those people put their hands into their sleeves, and with the help of the crowd cover, they quickened their pace to approach Li Jing.
On the surrounding roofs, someone lurked, and the closed windows were opened a gap, and sharp arrows flashing with cold light stretched out from the gap and aimed at Li Jing.
At this moment, several people who followed behind Li Jing pulled out their daggers and rushed towards Li Jing!
"Not good! There are assassins! ”
The guards were immediately alert, and when they found that something was wrong, they immediately surrounded Li Jing to protect Li Jing from leaving here as soon as possible.
The surrounding people fled in all directions, and the assassins who were lying in ambush on the roof also appeared, jumping off the roof, cutting down people at sight, and killing the slow civilians.
Cold arrows shot from all sides, shooting towards Li Jing, and the guards waved their swords to block.
While guarding Li Jing towards the Regent's palace, the guards responded to the Assassins' attacks, and the outnumbered guards died tragically at the hands of the Assassins' swords or arrows.
As Li Jing became less and less guarded, the Assassin's confidence increased and he sped up his movements, trying to kill Li Jing before the forbidden army arrived.
An assassin stared at Li Jing coldly, and after his companions entangled the remaining guards, he quickly dodged and rushed in front of Li Jing, wanting to give Li Jing the final fatal blow!
The assassin's hand flashed with a knife and slashed at Li Jing's head, Li Jing sneered, his eyes burst with murderous intent, and his figure flashed, avoiding the assassin's knife.
Reaching out and grabbing the Assassin's neck, he twisted it vigorously, broke the Assassin's neck, snatched the knife from the Assassin's hand, kicked the Assassin's body away, and continued towards the Regent's Palace.
Two dark arrows shot out from both sides, Li Jing didn't even look at it, reached out to catch the dark arrow that was shot, and threw it back with his backhand, followed by two screams, and the assassin who was hiding in the dark with cold arrows fell to the ground and died of anger!
Several assassins in front of him came towards Li Jing, Li Jing was not afraid, the knife in his hand flashed, and the assassin's head fell to the ground.
Let the assassins use all their strength, they are not Li Jing's enemies with one move, they rush the fastest and die the fastest!
But even so, the assassin did not retreat, but became more ferocious, and he would rather die than kill Li Jing.
They were originally dead soldiers cultivated by others, killing all enemies for their masters, and even sacrificing their own lives!
The order they received was to kill Li Jing at all costs, and even if they were all dead, they must complete the assassination!
But their strength is far worse than Li Jing, even if they go together, they are not Li Jing's opponents, and they can't even hurt Li Jing's cold hair, let alone Li Jing's life.
Knowing that it was impossible to complete the task, they still fought hard and killed Li Jing without fear of death, this is the dead man!
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance, and the forbidden army learned that the regent had been assassinated on the street, and immediately came to the rescue!
"Kill!"
The Assassin leader shouted and rushed towards Li Jing.
The other Assassins followed, and even the Assassins who were hiding in the shadows rushed out of the shadows at this time, and they wanted to go up together to besiege Li Jing before the Forbidden Army arrived.
A cold glint flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and the knife in his hand waved, fighting with a group of assassins!
The knife light is everywhere, and the head falls to the ground!
Whew......
Several sharp arrows came from a distance, killing the Assassins on the periphery, and the Praetorian army finally arrived and surrounded the Assassins.
"Take down the Assassins and protect the Regent!"
Ashina, the general of the Left Feather Lin Guard, drew his sword and rushed forward, and the Zuo Yu Lin Wei soldiers followed and rushed towards the assassin.
Seeing that the tide was turning, the Assassins bit down on the poison hidden in their teeth and committed suicide.
"The minister is late for rescue, and I ask the regent to forgive me!"
Ashina hurriedly came to Li Jing to ask for guilt!
"Get up! I don't blame you for this, it seems that in this Chang'an City, there are people who want the life of this king, have these assassins caught alive? ”
Li Jing threw away the knife in his hand and asked.
"Lord Regent, the assassins have poisoned themselves and have not caught any alive."
Ashina said.
"It seems that the other party has left a hand, immediately blocked the news, and can't let anyone know my situation, you personally escort me back to the Regent's Mansion."
Li Jing said.
"Whoa!"
Ashina immediately ordered someone to get a carriage, Li Jing sat in the carriage, Ashina took Zuo Yulin guards to escort Li Jing back to the regent's palace, and cleared the streets along the way, prohibiting anyone from appearing in the place where the carriage passed.
Escorted by Ashina, Li Jing successfully returned to the Regent's Mansion.
"It's great that you're okay, Lord Regent! The old slaves are scared to death!"
Ximenyang, the head of the palace, was relieved to see Li Jing return safely.
"Pass on the king's order, send the left feather forest guard, the right feather forest guard, and the left Jinwu guard soldiers and horses to guard the regent palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the regent palace without the permission of this king."
"In addition, send someone to call the imperial doctor in the palace to the regent palace for this king, the sooner the better!"
Li Jing returned to the palace and immediately made arrangements, he wanted to see who wanted his life behind this!
"Whoa!"
Ashina took the order and left, and immediately mobilized a large number of forbidden troops to surround the triple outer triple in the regent palace, and not even a single fly was allowed to fly in.
Soon, more than a dozen imperial doctors hurriedly came to the Regent's Mansion with medicine boxes on their backs, and were taken by Ximen Yang to Li Jing's master bedroom.
There was a storm in Chang'an City, and everyone was speculating whether Li Jing was seriously injured by the assassin and whether he was on the verge of death!
But now that the Regent's palace is heavily guarded, there is no useful information at all.
Li Jing just needs this effect, he believes that as long as he doesn't show up, the people who want his life will definitely not be able to sit still and jump out!
At that time, it will be the time for him to close the net, and he will catch all the people!
……
When Li Jing returned to the Regent's Palace.
Princess Taiping waited for news in the mansion with her son, nephew, and several henchmen.
"Uncle! So far, there is no news coming, and I don't know if the Tao has succeeded? ”
Princess Taiping's husband Xue Shao's nephew Xue Chongyun looked anxious!
The assassins they sent out to assassinate Li Jing have not yet sent back the news, and they don't know if they have succeeded, and if they do, will they be affected.
Once the news of Li Jing's assassination leaks out, everyone here will be executed, and Xue Chongyun regrets participating in it with some regret in his heart!
Now the more there is no news, the more uneasy Xue Chongyun's heart becomes, at the beginning, he didn't support his uncle to do this, but he was lonely, and was pulled onto the thief ship by his uncle Princess Taiping, but he still gave the child, and he was about to be involved in the power struggle!
"Yun'er, you don't have to worry, it doesn't matter if the assassination fails, the assassins are all dead soldiers who are secretly trained, and once the mission fails, they will immediately take poison and kill themselves!"
"Even if Li Jing doesn't die, he will definitely not find out about us, so you can wait with peace of mind! Keep your heart in your belly!"
Princess Taiping comforted Xue Chongyun a few words.
