Early in the morning, the army of Beijun blockaded Yancheng.

On the streets, almost every street was filled with soldiers coming and going.

Seeing this scene, the people were so frightened that they hurriedly ran towards their homes.

At the same time, the entrance to the county guard was surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Before Li Rui got up, he heard his wife enter the room in a panic and shouted loudly: "Master, it's not good!" Something happened! ”

After hearing Madame's voice, Li Rui got up from the bed and asked in a daze, "Madam, what's going on?" ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "A group of soldiers came to the door, saying that they were going to search the county guard's mansion. ”

Hearing this, Li Rui's eyes widened suddenly, and he came to his senses in an instant.

He immediately got up from the bed, "What's the matter?" Why are there soldiers searching the county guard's house? ”

Mrs. Li said: "The concubine doesn't know what happened, so go and take a look!" They're breaking in! ”

Li Rui hurriedly walked towards the gate of the county guard's mansion, and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.

At this time, Li Rui was extremely worried in his heart, and he wondered if the King of the North was going to do something to him, the county guard.

But he thought about it, he had handed over all his military power, and he was still working diligently for the North King, so the North King wouldn't do it to himself, right?

He is now considered a person of the Northern King, how can a vassal king do it to his own people.

If his county guard is gone, it may be even more difficult for the North King to suppress those power groups in the North County.

Soon, Li Rui appeared at the gate of the county guard's mansion.

Seeing that the squad leader who brought the soldiers was someone he was familiar with, Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked, "Captain Wu, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu Hong smiled and said: "Lord Li, please forgive me, last night the prince was assassinated by the assassins of the Blood Moon Tower, it is said that a few assassins escaped, the prince ordered us to search the whole city, and no one's mansion can be spared." ”

Hearing this, Li Rui's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the prince okay?" ”

Wu Hong said: "Lord Li, rest assured, thanks to that mysterious grandmaster of the palace, the prince is just frightened, and the person is fine." ”

Hearing this, Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief, if the North King was killed, he, the county guard, would also be implicated.

Then Li Rui said: "Okay, you can search it." ”

Wu Hong arched his hand and said, "Then bother." ”

Then Wu Hong took the soldiers into the county guard's mansion, searched briefly, and then took the soldiers to the next mansion.

Soon, the news of the assassination of the Northern King spread throughout Yancheng.

Almost everyone in Yancheng knew about the fact that the Blood Moon Tower sent someone to assassinate the Northern King, and then was thwarted by the mysterious grandmaster of the Northern Palace.

Although the king of the north is a waste prince, after all, he is a prince, and the assassination of a prince is a big deal.

The news soon spread to the capital.

……

The Mansion of the Eighth Prince.

After seeing Wang Tanci's flying pigeon handwriting, Lu Shuyun was furious, he raised his arm and swept all the things on the board to the ground, and then directly overturned the table in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a clanging sound in the study, and Lu Shuyun smashed everything that could be smashed in the study.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! ”

"Six Nine Grades, a half-step Grandmaster, can't even kill a single waste!"

"What's the use of you!"

After hearing Lu Shuyun's voice, the maids in the room stood aside and trembled, not daring to come out.

Lu Shuyun couldn't believe that this operation would fail.

Even if that mysterious Grandmaster was still in the Beiwang Mansion, with the half-step Grandmaster of the Blood Moon Tower, how could he be able to hold him back for a while, so that he could create a chance for the other Nine Rank Martial Artists to kill Lu Chen.

As a result, the Blood Moon Tower actually failed!

Not only did the people of the Blood Moon Tower fail, but even the people sent by the Yanyu Pavilion were basically dead, leaving only Wang Tianci to escape alone, and it is said that he was seriously injured, so he could only hide in Yancheng to survive.

Lu Shuyun felt that his lungs were about to explode.

Originally, he had always thought that it would be easy to get rid of Lu Chen, but he failed twice in a row.

With these two failures, it may not be so easy for them to make another move against the North Wangfu in the future.

Other forces are not stupid, even those who specialize in assassination like the Blood Moon Tower have failed, and there is a high probability that other killer organizations will not take his mission.

Just when Lu Shuyun smashed something to vent his dissatisfaction, a subordinate hurriedly broke in.

"Your Highness, it's not good! Big things are wrong! ”

Lu Shuyun was angry now, and when he heard the subordinate babbling, he suddenly became even more angry, and directly kicked the subordinate over and kicked the subordinate against the wall.

Fortunately, his strength was not very strong, and he did not kick the subordinate to death, and after the subordinate vomited a mouthful of blood, he hurriedly got up and said: "Your Highness, now the whole capital is spreading that it is said that you sent the assassins of the Blood Moon Tower to assassinate the Northern King, so that the Jiangnan family can only support you to participate in the battle for succession." ”

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun's brain was stunned, and the whole person stayed in place.

Soon he reacted, and his face instantly became gloomy, "Those good brothers of this king really don't miss any opportunity!" ”

In politics, you can't say what you can do, and you can't do what you can say.

Although fratricide was a common occurrence in the royal family, it was taboo in any dynasty.

Of course, people know that the Eight Princes are the ones who want to get rid of the Nine Emperors the most, and their mothers are all from the Jiangnan family, and the Jiangnan family can only support one prince to participate in the succession.

But this kind of thing can only be known, and it must not be taken out and spread around, once it is spread, it will be a scandal of royal brothers killing each other.

Since this kind of thing is a royal taboo, why is there still a rumor in the capital that he sent someone to assassinate the Nine Emperor Princes?

Obviously, there are other princes behind the push, the purpose is to disqualify him from competing for the crown prince.

Originally, Lu Shuyun was still thinking about how to get rid of Lu Chen just now, but now after hearing the rumors in the capital, he couldn't move Lu Chen.

This is what can be said and not done in politics, since there are already rumors, if he still sends someone to assassinate Lu Chen, Lu Chen is dead, it is basically equivalent to sitting on the fact that he did it.

Even if Lu Chen was not killed by him, the ministers who supported the other princes in the court would say that he did it, and the people would also think that he killed the Nine Emperors.

At that time, he was completely disqualified from competing for the crown prince.

Lu Shuyun clenched his fists, very unwilling in his heart, could it be that he let go of that waste like this?

The first assassination and the second assassination, he was mainly for his own political purposes, but at this time, Lu Shuyun was so angry that he didn't think about it politically, and he just wanted to get rid of Lu Chen now.

Of course, this was just a momentary personal emotion, and soon Lu Shuyun calmed down.

In any case, it will be impossible to move Luchen for the next period of time.

At this time, Lu Shuyun turned his head to look at the bookshelf in the study, and then said to the other side: "Immediately send a message to Wang Tian, let her continue to lurk in Beijun after recovering from her injuries, and don't take any action for the time being." ”

Lu Shuyun's voice fell, and a dark shadow rolled out of the window and left the study.
